Chen Deng said it very clearly that Zhang He and Gao Lan did it on purpose. They just wanted to destroy his power and prevent Xuzhou people from having the opportunity to compete with Jizhou people, which would affect the control of the Jizhou people over the army.
Chen Lin deeply agrees with this reason.
He had seen Jizhou people fighting with Ruying people in this way, and he also knew the little thoughts of Jizhou people and did not believe that Xuzhou people could be exceptions.
It is obviously more in line with the interests of the people of Jizhou.
But he could not refuse Yuan Shao, so he could only go to the city to persuade him to surrender.
Sitting in the hanging basket and being pulled to the top of the city, Liu Bei personally reached out to help Chen Lin. "Kong Zhang, is Yuan Long safe?"
Chen Lin carefully stepped out of the hanging basket, glanced at the top of the city, and saw a familiar face. He was surprised and happy, broke free from Liu Bei's hand and walked over.
"Wenju, you are here too."
Kong Rong laughed and patted Chen Lin on the shoulder. "I heard that Liu Xuzhou was determined to hold on, so I rushed to help. Although I couldn't lift the knife or pull the bow, I could shout a few times and make a strong voice. Kong Zhang,
Is Yuanlong still safe?"
Chen Lin sighed and shook her head. "Although Yuanlong is alive, it is better to die."
"What's going on?" Liu Bei and Kong Rong asked in unison.
Chen Lin roughly explained the situation of Chen Deng. Although Yuan Shao was determined to persuade Chen Deng to surrender, Chen Deng's children suffered too many casualties, and he was also dissatisfied with the domineering situation of the Jizhou people under Yuan Shao's command and refused to surrender. Yuan Shao was not allowed to let go.
If you are willing to let Chen Deng be placed under house arrest.
"Since I refuse to surrender, why don't I go on a hunger strike and beg for death?" A young man beside Kong Rong said with contempt.
"This is..." Chen Lin looked at Kong Rong in confusion.
"This is my little friend, Ni Heng Ni Zhengping, a native of Pingyuan." Kong Rong introduced, and then said: "Zhengping, Yuan Long is not a miserable person. The reason why he does not die is that he must do something."
"He commanded the troops for many years and boasted of himself as a famous general. Once he was in a vain, his entire army was wiped out. What else can such a person do?" Ni Heng disagreed. "In my opinion, he did not surrender to justice, but for
If the troops are still there, I am afraid that he will be one of the generals in the siege, and he may be more brave than others when siege."
Chen Lin was very unhappy, and Liu Bei was a little embarrassed, but Kong Rong laughed. "Kong Zhang, you don't have to pay attention to him. He is just like this, and he will never stop talking. Hey, is that Yide?"
Ni Heng was about to speak, but when he heard Zhang Fei's name, he turned around and walked. He took a few steps before he realized it. He turned around and cursed at Kong Rong, "Old thief, people rely on their power." Then he shook his sleeves,
Leaving away with the longevity.
Chen Lin frowned.
Kong Rong did not think it was offended, and took Chen Lin's hand and said, "You are a childlike heart, Kong Zhang doesn't have to care. Since you came to the city, you must not be a lobbyist for Yuan Benchu, right? Liu Xuzhou's intentions have been decided and surrendered.
It is absolutely impossible to surrender, so you don’t want to speak out.”
Chen Lin looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei nodded solemnly but didn't say anything.
Chen Lin said, "Since that's the case, I won't gamble. But it's not easy to defend Pengcheng. Are you ready?"
"What's the problem?" Liu Bei asked with concern.
"The emperor issued an edict, and he would lead his troops to fight in the east, but the imperial court lacked money and food. Hedong and Guanzhong alone would probably not be able to support the army's conquest. Although the emperor had achieved success in education in Liangzhou, the time was still short, so he could not control it.
Liang's arrogant soldiers and generals are still unknown. Only the only one who can send troops immediately is Yanzhou's governor Cao Mengde. Cao Mengde is a man, and I believe you all know it."
Liu Bei nodded, feeling a little depressed.
Kong Rong stroked his beard and smacked his lips. "Even if he didn't pursue Cao Mengde's previous evil deeds, it would not be easy for him to come to Pengcheng. Suiyang City was strong and had heavy troops to guard it, which was not easy. Kill Bian Wenli
(Bian Rang), and killed Zhang Mengzhuo's brothers and Tu Yongqiu. His reputation in Yanzhou is not good, so it is rare to have the support of the scholars and common people in Yanzhou."
"That's true, so if you want to defend Pengcheng, you still have to rely on yourself."
Liu Bei said: "Please rest assured Kong Zhang, I will do my best."
Gu Zhibao/span> "Where is the prefect of Hanoi Dong Zhao?" Kong Rong said again: "He is from Yanzhou. Last time Guan Yu rushed to Wei County, he also sent troops from Hanoi. If he could send troops this time, he would definitely shake Jizhou."
Chen Lin shook her head. "The last time Guan Yu succeeded, one was unexpected, and the other was accidentally killed Wen Chou, which caused the army's morale to be shaken. Before this time, Yuan Benchu was ready and it was impossible to give Guan Yu a chance again. Therefore, even if Dong Zhao sent troops,
I'm afraid it won't determine the overall situation."
"Where are Taiyuan, Shangdang, and the Youyan Protectorate, who are sitting there without paying attention?"
"They will send troops, but the impact is not great. I am afraid they will not be able to force Yuan Benchu to withdraw his troops and rescue the siege."
Liu Bei, Kong Rong sighed repeatedly after hearing this.
Chen Lin brought good news, but this good news is that far-reaching water cannot quench near thirst. The one who can really threaten Yuan Shao was Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was alone and it was not easy to defeat Sui Yang.
Pengcheng is an isolated city. No one can say when it can last.
Liu Bei held a banquet to entertain Chen Lin.
At the banquet, Chen Lin didn't say much, so she only talked about literary poetry with Kong Rong and Ni Heng. Liu Bei was not interested, but Zhang Fei was interested, but he didn't understand it very much. Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others could listen.
I understood halfway, but I didn’t have the right to interrupt, so I could only listen and enjoy my good fortune.
After the banquet, Liu Bei left Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu and others to the back hall to discuss matters and discuss how to stick to Pengcheng.
Gan and Mi came out to serve tea, sat aside, and listened quietly to the men's discussion.
Liu Bei thought about it for a long time and asked the most critical question: How long will it take for the emperor to leave Luoyang east?
The emperor had tens of thousands of elite troops in Bianliang. As long as he went out of Luoyang east, even if he was still thousands of miles away from Pengcheng, Yuan Shao would not be willing to fight. He would definitely rescue and retreat to Hebei.
Dong Zhuo's troops were only tens of thousands at that time. Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, had 500,000 or 600,000 troops, but he did not dare to move forward. His fear of the Bingliang soldiers was deeply rooted in his bones. As long as the emperor went east, he would not dare to fight head-on.
Be able to guard against danger.
This question was not difficult to answer, but after listening to Chen Lin's analysis of the situation, no one was sure to answer it.
The emperor has no shortage of military power, but the emperor is very poor.
Guanzhong was abandoned and after two years of operation, it was barely enough to be self-sufficient. The only one county in Hedong is truly rich.
How many army can be supported by one county alone?
Without enough money and food, even if the army goes east, it can only raise money and food in Ruying and Chenliu. In this way, it is indeed easy to remind people of the atrocities of the Western Liang army when Dong Zhuo was in chaos. Once the Shandong clans looked at the emperor.
As a tyrant, not the hope of the revival of the Han Dynasty, the situation in Shandong will change dramatically.
Even people in Xuzhou will change their attitude and instead support Yuan Shao.
At that time, how long can Pengcheng last?
Faced with Liu Bei's worries, everyone was silent and didn't know how to answer.
After a while, Mi said timidly: "Husband, I think this is just an ordinary person's opinion and cannot be saved by the emperor."
"Why?" Liu Bei looked at Mi in confusion.
"The emperor is not an ordinary person." Mi's face turned red with shame. "In the battle of Huayin three years ago, it was an extraordinary move for him to defeat Li Jue and Guo Si. In the past few years, what he has done has also been
Which one can be expected by ordinary people?”
Jian Yong took a breath and nodded in agreement. "What the wife said is somewhat reasonable. Extraordinary things must be used for extraordinary people. Nowadays, ordinary people cannot do it, but it does not mean that the emperor cannot do it. Since he issued an edict to send troops, he
There must be a way to win. The lord doesn’t need to think too much, just keep the city wholeheartedly.”
Zhang Fei slapped his thigh. "That's right, I'm afraid of a bird. Last time, Yuan Shao attacked the city for two days, our army killed nearly 3,000 people, and only 1,000 casualties. Based on this inference, if Yuan Shao wanted to destroy Pengcheng, he would lose at least 30,000 people.
.Even if Yuan Benchu is willing to let him go, will the people in Jizhou be willing to let him go?" Provide you with the fastest update on the Han Dao world, Chapter 606 Free reading of ordinary people's opinions.
