Chen Deng arrived at Liu Bei's side in a blink of an eye. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers controlled Mi Zhu to prevent Mi Zhu from leaving.
Chen Deng looked anxious, frowned and said: "Shi Jun, how can you let Mi Zhu go? Let him go now, and there will be no way to restrain Lu Xuan. The art of war says that soldiers are crafty, and each army will fight with his own tactics.
Methods, even threats, are normal."
"So, we can't let Mi Zhu go."
"You and Mi Zhu have a good relationship. If you have a personal relationship, it is a private matter between you. You can have a personal relationship, but you cannot interfere with the overall public affairs."
"On the battlefield, the most taboo thing is to abandon public service for private reasons."
"This is a taboo in doing things."
Chen Deng looked serious and said sternly: "If you want to let Mi Zhu go now because of your friendship, Chen Deng can only resign and leave. You can't ignore thousands of soldiers because of your own selfishness. Please think again."
Liu Bei frowned deeply.
He was ready to let Mi Zhu go and return to Lu Xuan's command.
Unexpectedly, Chen Deng rushed out to stop him. Moreover, Chen Deng's statement put Liu Bei into a difficult choice.
If Mi Zhu is given up, Chen Deng will leave.
Liu Bei was able to establish a foothold in Xuzhou because of Chen Deng. It was Chen Deng who represented the Chen family in Xuzhou and united with other Xuzhou families to allow Liu Bei to establish a foothold in Xuzhou. In fact, it was Chen Deng who planned to detain Mi Zhu and plot against Zhou Yu's army.
Won the first battle in Xuyi County.
Otherwise, Liu Bei may have been in trouble.
Liu Bei cannot live without Chen Deng.
As for Mi Zhu.
Liu Bei admired Mi Zhu very much for his ability, bold temperament, and loyalty.
However, Mi Zhu was unwilling to submit.
Mi Zhu stood among the guards and saw this scene, but did not speak for the time being. If he spoke casually, it would easily affect Lu Xuan's arrangements, and it would be better to remain silent than to move.
Lu Xuan saw Liu Biao's tangled look, laughed a few times, and said sarcastically: "Liu Bei, you are really hypocritical to the extreme. In order to alienate Mi Zhu and me, in order to plot against me, you actually sang along with Chen Deng, staged a bitter trick, and deceived Mi Zhu.
, to deceive everyone.”
"You are Chen Deng's lord, and you are Xuzhou's state shepherd. However, because of Chen Deng's words, you are faced with a difficult decision. In the end, are you commanding Chen Deng, or is Chen Deng threatening you?"
Liu Bei looked troubled.
At this moment, Liu Bei felt uncomfortable.
He just wanted to test Lu Xuan, and even suppress Lu Xuan, but he didn't expect that the final result would be to put him on the fire.
"Your Majesty, it is impossible to release Mi Zhu today."
Chen Deng spoke again.
He had planned well. When Liu Bei came up, he tested Lu Xuan, alienated the relationship between Lu Xuan and Mi Zhu, and tried to get Mi Zhu to submit to Liu Bei. Even if Mi Zhu was unwilling to submit, he still followed Lu Xuan wholeheartedly, which would make Mi Zhu feel uncomfortable.
However, Lu Xuan broke the plan as soon as he arrived.
Chen Deng's plan failed.
Chen Deng continued: "As the leader of a state, you should put the overall situation first. Please think again."
He suddenly looked at Guan Yu who was following him, his eyes were sharp, and he ordered without any doubt: "General Guan, my lord is benevolent and righteous, but we cannot ruin a good situation because of benevolence and righteousness. Please retreat with your envoy, and I will talk to Lu Xuan."
."
Guan Yu is nine feet tall, has red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, and sharp eyes. Standing in a crowd, he naturally puts a lot of pressure on people.
Hearing Chen Deng's words, he stepped forward and advised: "Brother, the military advisor is right, the overall situation is the most important. Personal emotions cannot interfere with the overall situation. Mi Zhu insists on serving Lu Xuan, and if I don't kill him, I will have done my best. Brother
Go back and leave the rest to the military advisor."
"I……"
Liu Bei had a troubled look on his face.
call!!
Liu Bei let out a sigh of relief. He was not an indecisive person and made his decision in an instant.
Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu, clasped his hands, and said apologetically: "Zizhong, I broke my promise and gained weight. If you want to blame this time, blame me. I, Liu Bei, broke my promise and let you down."
Mi Zhu said nothing.
At this time, it is best not to say anything.
"Let's go."
Guan Yu grabbed Liu Bei's horse and led Liu Bei back.
After Lu Xuan saw it, he said loudly: "Liu Bei, did you call me out just to act like this? You said you wanted to release Mi Zhu, but in the blink of an eye you pretended to be stupid and relied on Chen Deng to smooth things over for you.
Go over in one piece. When I see you today, I can see that you, Liu Bei, only live up to your appearance and live up to your name."
Liu Bei grabbed the horse's reins and squeezed tightly, and his cheeks couldn't help but twitch.
He really wanted to let him go.
According to his idea, after releasing Mi Zhu, he would fight Lu Xuan how he should.
It was only Chen Deng's intervention that suddenly prevented Liu Bei from coming to Taiwan.
Guan Yu knew Liu Bei's temperament and advised him again: "Brother, Lu Xuan did it on purpose. He deliberately targeted you. You don't have to take this matter to heart. You are already good enough to Mi Zhu."
"I know, but..."
Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh and ignored it for the time being.
He said he couldn't win against Lu Xuan, and he could only be led by Lu Xuan in the conversation with Lu Xuan. He might as well return to the military formation first and leave the command on the battlefield to Chen Deng.
Liu Bei turned back and glanced at Lu Xuan, his eyes a little solemn.
Lu Xuan is difficult to deal with.
Can Chen Deng do it?
But no matter how bad he is, he should still be better than him.
Chen Deng faced Lu Xuan with a calm expression. He glanced at Mi Zhu who was controlled by the soldiers and threatened: "Lu Xuan, I am benevolent and unwilling to kill Mi Zhu. But I am different. You can use benevolence and righteousness to coerce the envoy.
It doesn't work for me."
"You can't succeed if I, Chen Deng, are here."
"Now, I'll give you two choices."
"First, immediately take all the troops, withdraw from Xuyi County, exit Xuzhou, and return to Yangzhou. I will release Mi Zhu and not kill him. Second, if you refuse to withdraw, I will kill Mi Zhu."
Chen Deng raised his voice and said loudly: "Both sides are their own masters and have their own positions. If you want to stay and fight, I can only kill Mi Zhu. Now Mi Zhu's life is in your hands, will you let him live?"
Woolen cloth?"
Lu Xuan's expression was as cold as ever.
Lu Xuan had already considered this most extreme situation when he talked with Lu Su, Xu Shu and others.
Now, I really encountered it.
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp, he sneered, and said disdainfully: "Chen Deng, if you threaten Mi Zhu's life, I tell you clearly that it is impossible to succeed."
"I, Lu Xuan, am not threatened."
"The army came to Xuyi County, and thousands of people were lost because of your Chen Deng plan. In Xuyi County, countless soldiers left their lives and shed their blood here. How can I exchange the loyal souls of countless soldiers for
Where is Mi Zhu’s life?”
"Soldiers, you cannot be let down!"
"State affairs must not be misunderstood!"
"This attack on Xuyi County must be won. I will not stop until Xuyi is defeated. As for Mi Zhu's life, you, Chen Deng, do whatever you want to do with it. It's up to you. However, if you, Chen Deng, kill Mi Zhu today, I will definitely do it the next day.
I will personally lead the army to conquer Xiapi and destroy your Chen family."
Lu Xuan's eyes were fiercer than ever before.
Like a ferocious beast, he stared in the direction of Mi Zhu and said loudly: "Brother, you fully support me and help me. I have failed you this time. It is difficult to protect the family and the country, and it is difficult to balance public and private affairs. I can't help it."
Brother, please forgive me."
Mi Zhu's expression was filled with relief, and he said loudly: "My lord, if you can be loyal to your country, Mi Zhu deserves to die."
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Deng again and threatened further: "Chen Deng, as long as you kill Mi Zhu, I, Lu Xuan, swear here that when I enter Xuzhou, I will kill all your direct descendants of the Chen family, including dogs and chickens."
.Every member of your Chen family, the men have been slaves for generations, and the women have been prostitutes from generation to generation."
"This oath, heaven and earth serve as a mirror, and the sun and moon serve as witnesses."
Chen Deng's mind exploded.
The smile on his face disappeared, and a deep fear appeared in his eyes.
