Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Groups of Yuan's troops marched into Xuzhou Prefecture in a mighty manner.

Yuan Tan sat high on his horse, his face filled with pride.

"Unexpectedly, Cao Ren's men actually abandoned the defense of Xuzhou and retreated to the Yanzhou front line."

"The eldest son’s capture of Xuzhou was the greatest result of our army’s march southward."

"After this battle, the eldest son’s reputation will definitely skyrocket."

"The lord must also look at the eldest son with admiration and be extremely pleased."

"From now on, what else can the Third Young Master use to compete with the Eldest Young Master?"

Guo Tu behind him was smiling and flattering~.

After hearing this, Yuan Tan did not speak, but the proud smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger and stronger.

"With the eldest son’s powerful strategy, how could he stop at taking over Huainan?"

"As long as the eldest son said a word, Bu Yuan would be the vanguard and lead the army south to destroy Chen Palace for the eldest son, kill Liu Bei, and capture Huainan in one fell swoop."

Lü Bu on the other side took advantage of the situation to flatter him, and then generously asked for a fight.

After he escaped from Shouchun, he went north to Tancheng to join Yuan Tan alone. The world's best general came to join Yuan Tan, which was a big deal for Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan naturally comforted Lü Bu greatly. He also allocated money to his soldiers and gave him gold and silk. He treated him like a distinguished guest and made him a trusted general.

Lü Bu, on the other hand, wanted to use Yuan Tan's help. Tan's strength made a comeback, and he killed Chen Gong and Liu Bei in revenge.

Now that Xuzhou was captured, Lu Bu couldn't wait to encourage Yuan Tan to continue to march south.

"Taking advantage of the situation to capture Huainan..."

Yuan Tan narrowed his eyes, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

Capturing Xuzhou has already skyrocketed his reputation in the Yuan family.

If he captures Huainan again, it will be equivalent to establishing an unparalleled power in the world. With this achievement, his reputation will rise to the point where it cannot be improved.

By that time, even if Yuan Shao dotes on his younger brother Yuan Shang, he will have to make him his reserve.

Otherwise, how can he convince the public?

"Gongze, I intend to take advantage of the situation to go south and capture Huainan together. What do you think?"

Yuan Tan was indeed persuaded by Lu Bu and turned back to Guo Tu for advice.

Guo Tu said without thinking:

"Our army captured Xuzhou, its morale was at a high level, and the officers and soldiers were eager to make contributions."

"If the eldest son sends his army southward at this time, he will definitely be able to destroy everything and capture Huainan in one fell swoop."

"With these two great achievements, who dares to be dissatisfied with the eldest son?"

With Guo Tu's support, Yuan Tan felt more confident.

In his mind, a blueprint for sending troops south to capture Huainan was gradually taking shape. He entered the state capital while thinking.

Yuan Tan entered the main hall and sat on the throne.

With Chen The powerful Xuzhou family headed by Deng and the surrendered civil and military officials came forward one after another to pay their respects.

"Chen Yuanlong, I heard that you were once the governor of Guangling, and you should be most familiar with the terrain of the Huai River area."

"Lu Fengxian gave me advice and sent his troops south to drink Ma Huai water and collect Huainan"

"I want to hear your opinion on how we should use our troops."

Yuan Tansu knew that Chen Deng was very resourceful, and he showed that he valued trust when they met.

Chen Deng raised his head and met Lu Bu's eyes.

Looking back on these years, Xuzhou has changed its owner several times.

Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and now Yuan Tan... the masters are like a revolving door, changing one after another.

Even he, Lu Bu, once served as the master of Xuzhou for a few days.

It is said that the flowing water is the Zhou Mu and the iron-clad Chen family.

No matter who is Xuzhou The status of the Chen family and Chen Deng in Xuzhou was unshakable.

When Lu Bu saw Chen Deng again, he couldn't help but recall the embarrassment he felt when Chen Deng secretly sought refuge with Cao Cao and cooperated with others to drive him out of Xuzhou.

This hatred was in his heart. It has always been difficult to calm down.

Now that he has returned to Xuzhou, his identity is no longer the lord of Xuzhou.

He is not even considered a prince.

He can only be reduced to Yuan Tan's subordinate and the eagle dog of the Yuan family.

And Chen Deng, this His former ministers were now on an equal footing with him and became colleagues. At this moment, Lu Bu felt ashamed, angry, and extremely uncomfortable.

Chen Deng turned a blind eye to Lu Bu and handed over to Yuan Tan:

"Deng thought that when the eldest son first settled in Xuzhou, he should focus on appeasing people's hearts and resting his soldiers."

"As for conquering Huainan, and Chen Gong being trapped in Shouchun, there is nothing to worry about, but..."

Chen Deng changed the topic and his face became solemn and solemn.

"Liu Xuande dominated the east of the Jingzhou River, and now he has captured most of Huainan. His strength is no longer what it used to be!"

"Now he has 70,000 troops surrounding Shouchun, and will destroy the city in the near future."

"Deng Tie thought that the eldest son must not despise Liu Xuande and start a war with him rashly."

"The only solution for now is to temporarily cease all activities and wait until the battle of Guandu is decided before it is too late to make a final decision."

Chen Deng's mind was much calmer, and he clearly opposed Yuan Tan's war with Liu Bei.

Yuan Tan frowned, and a flash of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"No matter how strong the big-eared thief is, how can he compete with Duke Yuan and the eldest son?"

"Chen Yuanlong, it's not because you served Liu Bei back then that you went to Yuan Ying to report to Liu with the intention of preventing the eldest son from destroying the big-eared thief."

Lü Bu didn't wait for Yuan Tan to express his position before he made a sarcastic comment.

Chen Deng frowned and immediately saw that Lu Bu was remembering the grudge he had in the past and was deliberately targeting him.

"At that time, Liu Xuande was the shepherd of Xuzhou, and he was appointed as Xuzhou's special driver. It was only natural that he serve for him."

"Just as the eldest son is the lord of Xuzhou today, I will do my best to assist him"

"I dissuaded the eldest son from starting a war with Liu Xuande. I was just discussing the matter."

"General Lu, I advise you not to be too selfish. You only want to use the hands of the eldest son to help you regain Shouchun and take revenge, regardless of the overall situation of Mr. Yuan."

Chen Deng made a righteous speech and calmly refuted Lu Bu. He also exposed Lu Bu's selfishness in front of Yuan Tan.

After all, Lu Bu is a military general. How can he defeat Chen Deng in terms of talking nonsense? I was immediately slapped until sweat rolled down my forehead and I was speechless.

"Yuanlong, it seems that you are quite afraid of Liu Bei."

Yuan Tan pointed and tapped the table, and said in a lukewarm tone.

Chen Deng's expression was as usual, he just raised his hands and said calmly:

"Deng was not afraid of Liu Xuande, he was just discussing the matter."

"Frankly speaking, although Liu Xuande was a leader of benevolence and righteousness at that time, his military strategy and power planning were mediocre, and he was not a powerful leader."

"The key is that Liu Xuande got this amazing man Deng Mu"

"This man's scheming and resourcefulness are rare in the world. Even if Zhang Liangfu is afraid, he will be inferior to him."

"As far as Deng knew, Liu Xuande was able to rise up in adversity, take Jingzhou to the east of the Yangtze River and dominate half of the south of the Yangtze River in a few years, all because of this person's assistance"

"With the help of this person, Liu Xuande was like a dragon entering the sea, out of control."

Although Chen Deng has been an official in Xuzhou these years, he is always paying attention to Liu Bei's movements. He obviously knows much more about Liu Bei and Deng Mu than Yuan Tan

"General Lu must have a deep understanding of what Deng Mu's plan was."

"If it weren't for his clever calculation, I'm afraid General Lu, you are still a prince in Huainan, why would you be reduced to seeking refuge with the eldest son alone?"

Chen Deng turned his eyes to Lu Bu and said a few words of sarcasm quietly.

Lu Bu's face turned slightly red and he wanted to retaliate, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

Yuan Tan frowned slightly and said with suspicion:

"When I was in Qingzhou, I had heard of the name Deng Mu. I heard that he was just a country man."

"Is this humble family really as remarkable as Yuanlong said? Yuan

Tan was obviously skeptical as he spoke.

At this time,

Guo Tu also had disdain on his face, and he cupped his hands and said:

"Liu Bei is indeed no longer what he used to be, and Deng Mu does have some wisdom."

"However, their chief ministers have been showing off their power and power over the years, and the enemies they have destroyed are nothing more than minor figures like Liu Biao and Sun Ce. How can they be compared with their lord and the eldest son?"

"I think you don’t have to be too afraid, eldest son. We will immediately send troops south, and take advantage of Liu Bei’s long-term attack on Shouchun to attack Shouchun in one fell swoop.——"

The words have not yet fallen

"newspaper——"

"Urgent report from Huaiyin Yuan Yin!"

"Liu Bei has conquered Shouchun City and Chen Gong was killed by him!"

"Huainan has been acquired by Liu Bei!"

The guards rushed in, shouting and interrupting Guo Tu's eloquence.

Yuan Tan suddenly changed his color.

Both Lu Bu and Guo Tu were shocked. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu novels Net!)

Even Chen Gong's expression changed when he heard the news.

He had never looked down upon Liu Bei, and he also believed that he had broken his longevity early and late.

But what he didn't expect was that Liu Bei would break his longevity. Spring broke so quickly.

At least two months faster than he expected!

"This is impossible!"

"Although that thief in Chen Gong is hateful, there are nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in Shouchun City. It is impossible for him to defeat him so quickly based on his wisdom!"

Lu Bu was the first to jump up and shouted with doubts.

Yuan Tan forced himself to lie down in shock and ordered his guards to read out the detailed information.

Then, the guards unfolded the silk book and wrote about Deng Mu's plan to flood Shouchun to Liu Bei. Chen The detailed story of how the palace was broken out and intercepted was read out one by one.

In the palace, it gradually became silent.

Lu Bu also lost his temper, his mouth opened, and his eyes were full of astonishment.

The sound of gasping for air could be heard one after another in the hall.

"Shouchun is flooded, Shouchun is flooded!"

"This Deng Mu has come up with such a vicious plan…"[]

Yuan Tan's eyes widened, and he could not hide his surprise in his words.

Chen Deng took a long breath and sighed:

"As I expected, Gemu is really full of tricks."

"His intelligence even exceeded my expectations. After sighing

, Chen Deng felt calm and offered his hand to Yuan Tanyi again:

"The eldest son, Liu Bei has been blessed with longevity, and Huainan belongs to him."

"Even if the eldest son wanted to go south and seize Huainan, he has lost the opportunity now."

"I thought it would be better to——"

When the words are not finished.

Guo Tu waved his hand to interrupt and said with an arrogant expression:

"So what if Liu Bei steals Huainan?"

"I still say the same thing, under the absolute strength of the lord and the eldest son, Liu Bei is still vulnerable"

"Huainan is related to the future status of the eldest son, no matter what, it must be taken!"

"Guo Tu accentuated the word"status" and deliberately emphasized it.

Yuan Tan's figure froze and he was suddenly awakened.

His father, Yuan Shao, really loved his third brother Yuan Shang too much.

He just won Xuzhou, which was not enough to force Yuan Shao. Make him the crown prince.

Only by capturing Huainan and defeating Liu Bei can Yuan Shao, with his unparalleled achievements, have no choice but to make him the crown prince of the Yuan family, even if he has 10,000 reluctances.

"good!"

"This young master from Huainan is a must!"

"A man who weaves mats and sells shoes, a country man, can he stand in my way of fighting for wealth?"

Yuan Tan had made up his mind and shouted:

"The order is passed, all armies should seize the time to rest and send troops southward at any time!"

"Then send an order to my uncle Yuan Yin to prepare for my army to garrison in Guangling."

"Also, in the name of his father, he sent an envoy to Shouchun to ask Liu Bei to give up Huainan!"

"Yuan Shu is a member of my Yuan family. Huainan is his inheritance and should belong to my father."

"I will be polite first and then attack. If he dares to be ignorant, I will justifiably send troops to attack and take back my Yuan family's things from his hands!"

Lü Bu Guo Tu accepted the order happily.

Chen Dengze sighed secretly. Seeing that Yuan Tan had made up his mind, he stopped persuading him.

Shouchun City, Military Advisor's Mansion.

A small banquet is going on.

Deng Mu held a banquet in honor of Sun Shangxiang, the Wu family, and mother and daughter Yan and Lu Lingqi.

"Shouchun City has been captured, and the Battle of Huainan has come to an end."

"Mrs. Wu, Miss Sun, I promised you before that I would send your mother and daughter back to Jianye when this war is over."

"Mrs. Yan, Miss Lu, I think you will also go back to Jianxi to recover from your injuries."

Deng Mu made arrangements for the two pairs of mother and daughter with a smile on his face.

The mother and daughter looked at each other and seemed a little reluctant to Deng Mu's arrangement.

"Commander Deng, are you also going back to Jianye? Mrs. Wu asked.

Deng Mu smiled faintly and nodded:

"The Lord's next focus will turn to the Central Plains, and naturally he will stay in Shouchun"

"As a military advisor, of course I will stay."

Mrs. Wu fell silent.

After thinking and hesitating for a moment, Fang smiled and said:

"In fact, Shouchun City is also very good. We also lived here for a long time in the early years."

"I don’t think we’ll bother Military Advisor Deng, and we, mother and son, will settle down here in Shouchun."

Deng Mu was startled.

Before he could react,

Mrs. Yan hurriedly said with a smile:

"We, mother and daughter, are used to living in Shouchun. In fact, we don’t want to go to Jianye. I wonder if we can just stay in Shouchun?"

Both ladies wanted to stay in Shouchun.

Sun Shangxiang and Lu Lingqi also nodded, neither of them wanted to leave.

Deng Mu had no choice but to say:

"Well, since you don't want to go back to Jianye and want to stay in Shouchun, then just do whatever you want."

The two pairs of mother and daughter secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then the four of them looked grateful and toasted to Deng Mu in turn.

After several rounds of wine,

Mrs. Wu hesitated again and said with a smile:

"Commander Deng, I have a shameless request. I wonder if Commander Deng can accept it?"

Deng Mu put down his wine glass and nodded to ask her to speak.

After Mrs. Wu coughed a few times, she said a little embarrassedly:

"Military Advisor Deng also knew that Laosheng only had a daughter like Xiang'er, and he only hoped that she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."

"Xiang'er and Commander Deng had a close relationship, so Lao Sheng wanted to betroth her to the general as his concubine. I wonder what Commander Deng had in mind?".
