The Chen Deng in front of him had thick dark circles under his eyes and looked very tired. It was normal to think about it. Chen Deng failed one after another in Xuyi County, and then fled with Liu Bei, sleeping rough all the way back to Xiapi. The journey was very hard.
In the blink of an eye, he was caught again.
Chen Deng was stared at by Lu Xuan, feeling uncomfortable and uneasy in his heart.
He worries about himself.
Worried more about the Chen family.
This time he helped Liu Bei and Lu Xuan become enemies, and now he is a prisoner. The Chen family will definitely be implicated. Chen Deng was afraid in his heart and did not dare to say anything, so he could only stand quietly.
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and then said: "Chen Deng, this time you are helping Liu Bei to deal with me. What do you think I should do with you?"
Chen Deng bowed his body and said, "Let Mr. Lu handle it."
Lu Xuandao: "I'll give you a chance."
Chen Deng was happy in his heart, but he arched his back slightly and said cautiously: "Chen Deng, the sinner, is willing to serve Lu Shijun, and will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Although Chen Deng once recognized Liu Bei as his master, Liu Bei was destroyed, and his relationship with Liu Bei was naturally gone. What he has to consider now is not what Liu Bei is like, but the interests of the family and his own safety.
Such a change made Chen Deng feel a pang in his heart, which he suppressed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xuan said: "It's good if you are willing to obey the arrangement. All the Chen family moved to Shu County and lived in Lujiang County. You, Chen Deng, also went to Shu County to serve under me. The Chen family
I will leave it to you to take charge of the dispatch."
brush!
Chen Deng's expression suddenly changed.
There was deep horror on his face. Lu Xuan's method was simply to drain away the foundation of the Chen family in Xiapi, Xuzhou. The relocation of the Chen family meant that all the property and land in Xiapi would be vomited out.
Because I can't take it with me at all.
If you don't deal with it, without the Chen family in Xiapi, the property will be swallowed up and occupied by others.
It can only be disposed of.
This will result in the loss of countless money and the foundation of one's life.
This was Lu Xuan's treatment of the Chen family. Chen Deng felt bitter in his heart. The price paid by the Chen family was too high.
Lu Xuan said quietly: "Aren't you willing?"
Chen Deng couldn't help but shudder, and quickly bowed and said: "Chen Deng accepts the order."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Go back to the Chen family and tell the soldiers who surrounded the Chen family that they can withdraw. When you go back, make good arrangements. I will wait for your good news."
"Here!"
Chen Deng bowed, turned around and left.
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Deng's leaving back, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. When Chen Deng returns to the Chen family, will the entire Chen family move to Shu County honestly, or will they rise up to resist and go against Lu Xuan again?
Lu Xuan waited and saw in his heart.
Lu Xuan called Gan Ning directly and asked Gan Ning to arrange sentinels to keep an eye on the Chen family in secret. If the Chen family made any rash move, Lu Xuan would know in advance.
After making the arrangements, Lu Xuan was thinking about the next arrangement.
The next step is to seize the entire Xiapi, and then the strategic location of Pengcheng State. However, there are more places in Xuzhou that do not require Lu Xuan to personally attack, and it is not necessary to continue the war.
At present, the south of Lu Xuan has not been completely settled. If we continue to move north and continue to expand without regard for the end, we will easily take too big a step.
The key to Lu Xuan's attack on Xuzhou is to seize Guangling and Xiapi in Xuzhou, and seize this bridgehead to move northward. After achieving the goal, it is necessary to stop and consolidate the foundation.
Only with a solid foundation can we have a future.
Otherwise, it is just a flash in the pan.
While Lu Xuan was thinking about it, soldiers came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Kuai Liang wants to see you."
"please!"
Lu Xuan gave an order.
The soldier went to send a message, and Kuai Liang hurried in after him. He looked anxious and reported: "My lord, I heard that you released Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in order to recruit Guan Yu to surrender. Is this true?"
Lu Xuan smiled softly and replied: "I did release Liu Bei and Zhang Fei for Guan Yu. Now, they have left."
Kuai Liang said in a deep voice: "My lord, what is Liu Bei's ability like? I haven't heard much about it, I don't know much about it. But I am sure that my lord broke up the three brothers of Liu Bei, and even captured Xuzhou and Liu Bei's foundation. This is
Immortal hatred."
"My lord has captured Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and now he has let Liu Bei go. Doesn't this mean he is giving Liu Bei a chance to take revenge for no reason?"
"My lord, this is very unwise."
Kuai Liang looked serious, clasped his fists and said: "I don't know what my lord promised to Guan Yu. I think it's not worth it. I think it's better to kill Guan Yu and then kill Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. I'd rather not let Guan Yu go."
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei leave."
Lu Xuan smiled and explained: "Mr. Kuai doesn't think it's worth it, but I think it's worth it. The value of Guan Yu is far more than killing Liu Bei."
Kuai Liang was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "My lord, you are too willful."
"This is not willfulness, it is confidence."
Lu Xuan's eyes were firm and he said loudly: "Although the world is currently in constant disputes and seems a bit messy, with the murder of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, the situation in Yangzhou has stabilized and the pattern of the world has gradually become clear."
"This three-acre area in Yangzhou is my private land and my base camp. I have taken over the southern area of Xuzhou. The northern part of Xuzhou is controlled by the Taishan thief Zang Ba, and there is no living space for Liu Bei."
"As for Jingzhou, the current relationship between the Kuai family and the Pang family is with me, plus I have reached a relationship with the Cai family, and I also have an alliance with Huang Zu of Jiangxia County. So in the future, if we want to compete for Jingzhou, others will not have any advantage.
"
"Jingzhou is my territory, Lu Xuan."
"Cao Cao will occupy Yanzhou and will definitely deploy in Guanzhong. According to my judgment, if Cao Cao cannot capture Xuzhou, he will increase his efforts to deal with Guanzhong. Therefore, Guanzhong and Yanzhou will definitely be in Cao Cao's hands in the future."
"In the north, Yuan Shao has occupied Jizhou, and the elimination of Gongsun Zan is just around the corner. He has become a powerful force in the north."
"Under the current situation, almost all parts of the world have masters. Where is there a place for Liu Bei?"
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp and he continued: "Even the most remote Yizhou, Liu Bei cannot enter. Because Liu Bei is in a miserable state. He has ambitions but no capital. Today's Liu Bei can only be used as a watchdog for others.
What should I fear about such a person?"
Lu Xuan, who is familiar with history, admires Liu Bei for his tenacity, but he is really not afraid.
Liu Bei's team had lost an unknown amount of money to him.
Can Liu Bei become popular?
It can't be done.
This is Lu Xuan's confidence.
Lu Xuan looked at Kuai Liang who was still worried, smiled, and continued: "Mr. Kuai, if a peerless general like Guan Yu dies, he will be gone. Guan Yu is different from Lu Bu. If Lu Bu dies, I
I don’t feel bad at all.”
"Guan Yu is dead, what a pity."
"It's easy to get a thousand armies but it's hard to find a general, let alone a peerless tiger general like Guan Yu who is unparalleled in loyalty and courage?"
"With Huang Zhong and Guan Yu, I am no weaker than any other prince in the world in terms of peerless tiger generals. In fact, I am even better than countless princes."
"Talent is fundamental at all times. Only with sufficient talents can we have a future. As long as I, Lu Xuan, have enough talents and all the talents in the world are under my command, I will not be afraid even if the whole world is my enemy."
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp and his expression was even more confident, and he said loudly: "Even if the princes in the world come to besiege me, I have the ability and confidence to defeat them one by one."
Kuai Liang fell silent after listening.
He was shocked. He didn't expect Lu Xuan to think about it like this, and he was filled with admiration.
This is a big spirit and a big heart.
More wisdom.
Talent is indeed fundamental.
Kuai Liang bowed to Lu Xuan and said sincerely: "My lord's words are inspiring. I admire you even though I am humble. I am superficial."
Lu Xuan smiled softly and said slowly: "Mr. Kuai is outspoken and loyal. I need people like Mr. Kuai around me to be vigilant and remind me so that I don't fall into crisis. I believe that with Mr. Kuai here, Liu Bei is not worth mentioning."
"
"If I can defeat him once, I can defeat him a second time. The third time, I will let Liu Bei know that as long as he is my enemy, he will only have one end, and that is defeat. Liu Bei is not my nightmare, I am
It's his nightmare."
Kuai Liang sighed: "Liu Bei met his lord, what a tragedy for him."
At this moment, Lu Meng entered, bowed and reported: "My lord, Lu Su wants to see you."
"please!"
Lu Xuan gave an order.
After a while, Lu Su entered the camp.
Lu Su saw Kuai Liang, nodded slightly in greeting, then faced Lu Xuan and said slowly: "My lord has taken Xiapi, the next step is to seize Xiapi country. Taking control of Xiapi is just around the corner. Now about the next step of Xuzhou, humble post
Have some ideas.”
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
He had already been thinking about this matter, but he didn't expect that Lu Su also had an idea, which was just right.
Lu Xuan was looking forward to it and asked: "What is Zijing's plan for Xuzhou's next step?"
