I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 537 Liu Jian's Ace General

From the standpoint of a subordinate official, Chen Deng's words were a bit outrageous, and he sold their lord Tao Qian almost instantly.

But if you look at it from the official perspective of a normal scholar, the Chen family is right to do so.

First of all, the Guangling Chen family was originally a high-ranking official family, and they had great influence in the local area. Chen Gui was also the prime minister of two thousand stones in the past.

And Tao Qian was just the governor of Xuzhou appointed by the imperial court, and the Chen family was not Tao Qian's former student, so when Xuzhou was facing a change of office, they voted for a new local governor who could benefit the Chen family. In his eyes, it was not a traitor.

I have to say that the Chen family's vision is indeed very vicious. Under the current situation, [-]% of the people think that Xuzhou's biggest enemy is Cao Cao, and only the Chen family vaguely sees the real threat of Xuzhou.

Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, these people are just the vanguard of fighting in Xuzhou, but the real threat to Xuzhou is the general in Hebei.

It seems that it is right to send someone to communicate with Liu Jian as soon as possible to surrender.

The second son of the Chen family, Chen Ying, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Father and elder brother are right, but there is one thing I don't understand, so I hope father and elder brother can give some advice."

Chen Gui and Chen Deng turned their heads to look at Chen Ying at the same time.

Chen Ying said with some hesitation: "Father said that the biggest villain who wants to plot Xuzhou is Liu Jian, the hero of Hebei, but now Liu Jian is far away in Hebei, and according to the news, all the troops in Hebei are stationed in various counties, and there is no assembly. According to the phenomenon, the generals of the various ministries are also divided into the counties of Youzhou and Jizhou."

"Now, the war in Xuzhou is imminent. Liu Jian's vanguard in Xuzhou is only Liu Bei. It is impossible for Liu Bei's troops to completely defeat Cao Cao and Sun Jian."

"Even if Liu Bei is able to defeat Cao Cao and Sun Jian, he must be seriously injured. How can he compete with Duke Tao in Xuzhou?"

"Furthermore, no matter how famous Liu Bei is now, he has no official imperial seal from the imperial court. If he directly clashed with Duke Tao, wouldn't he have put himself in the same situation as Cao Cao? Then he pretended to be this benevolent man in Xuzhou earlier. What's the point of looking?"

Don't say it, these words really stopped Chen Gui and Chen Deng.

In fact, it's not that Chen Gui and Chen Deng haven't thought about this issue, but neither of them can figure out what Liu Jian is going to do now to take over Xuzhou in a legitimate way.

Even if it is not justified, at least he has to send enough soldiers.

Liu Jian remained motionless in Hebei, but asked Liu Bei to cooperate with Tao Qian in Xuzhou to fight back and forth. The final result will definitely not be too good.

Although Liu Jian does have the ability to support Liu Bei's reputation in Xuzhou to an unprecedented height, but in terms of strength, Liu Bei is not considered the top in Xuzhou now.

Chen Gui also stroked his beard in doubt, and muttered to himself: "Yes, what is Liu Jian thinking? Why didn't he send troops to Xuzhou?"

When he was talking about this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Deng, and asked, "Yuanlong, what do you think is going on?"

A wry smile appeared on Chen Deng's face.

"Father, father, you can't understand things, how can I understand?"

Chen Gui frowned: "Do you think we think too much, then Liu Jian has no intention of coming to Xuzhou at all, and Liu Bei's current reputation in Xuzhou is completely managed by himself or secretly arranged , and no one intervened."

Chen Ying said: "If this is the case, if we send someone to negotiate with Liu Jian, wouldn't it be a waste of time? If Tao Gong finds out later, the life of the Chen family may not be easy in the future. It's more passive."

Chen Deng frowned: "With Liu Bei's ability, is it possible for him to do such a thing? Boyer thinks that if this matter is really man-made, it must be done by Hebei, and Liu Bei is absolutely impossible."

Chen Gui sighed helplessly: "Then do we need to communicate with Liu Jian?"

When Chen Gui said this, his two sons lost their voices.

Now the three of them don't know what to do.

……

But what everyone in Xuzhou didn't know was that Liu Jian was at the beach in Tianjin Lane, looking northeast, waiting for someone to arrive.

This is the first time that regular troops have been ushered in from Liaodong since Liu Jian organized the establishment of the port.Originally, the routes from various places in the Bohai Sea area were nothing more than goods and trade... It was the first time that it was used for military purposes.

Although careful preparations had been made in advance and many experiments had been carried out, Liu Jian was still unsure.

After all, the people who led the elite Liaodong soldiers from Hanzhou to Hebei this trip were his good brothers Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.

If something really happened, who would be responsible for it?I'm afraid that he, Liu Jian, will feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the sea water was reflected red by the setting sun, the sea breeze was blowing, and the weather began to cool down.

Zhang Fei put a hood on Liu Jian and said, "Brother, I'm afraid Yun Chang won't be here for a while, why don't you go back and rest first, how about I wait for him here for my brother?"

But Liu Jian shook his head stubbornly: "If I don't come back, I'll just wait here for Yunchang... If Yunchang doesn't arrive, I'll feel uneasy in my heart. At worst, I'll just stay here by the sea overnight."

Zhang Fei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to persuade Liu Jian, but finally gave up.

Because his heart was hanging at the moment, he didn't know whether Guan Yu could successfully reach Hebei.

For Guan Yu's concern, the two brothers are exactly the same now.

This kind of worry and concern for brothers can only be clearly understood by themselves.

Just when the two brothers were looking at the sea and lost their minds, Liu Jian's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He wiped his eyes vigorously to prevent himself from being delusional.

Then, he pointed to a row of small dots faintly appearing on the sea level in the distance: "Yide, do you think that is our ship?"

Zhang Fei's eyes may not be as sharp as Liu Jian's. He squinted and stared there for a long time, but in the end he stamped his feet excitedly and roared like thunder: "Brother, yes, yes, that is the sea." The ship, our sea ship has finally arrived! Yun Chang has arrived with his troops!"

Liu Jian let out a long breath of relief.

He tapped the palm of his right hand hard with his left hand and said with emotion: "It was successful, it was finally successful! Using sea ships to carry soldiers and generals on the sea... Although I knew it would be successful beforehand, but when I saw Yun Chang arriving, I... I finally let go."

"From now on, our soldiers in Hebei can go south to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and even Jiaozhou by sea."

"There is no longer a barrier on the southeast border of the Han Dynasty, and there is nowhere our soldiers and horses in Hebei cannot go."

Finally, the black dots on the horizon gradually became larger and their outlines became clear.

The ship was approaching, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, it turned into huge sea ships, reflected in the eyes of Liu Jian and other people by the port.

As the huge sea ships approached the shore, after the anchor broke down, the deck was put on the shore, and they saw burly Liaodong soldiers stepping down from the warships one by one.

Although they were burly and extremely elite, everyone's face seemed to be in a bad mood, and some even bowed their bodies, lacking a bit of momentum.

Zhang Fei couldn't help being taken aback when he saw this: "Brother, why do these soldiers look a little...?"

Liu Jian shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "There is no way to do it. Our northern soldiers are not good at water warfare. Few of them have been to sea before. It is very good that they can persist from Hanzhou to here. Some people It may be the first time to take a boat... This is seasickness... It is already very good to have such a performance, and you will try to board the sea boat later, and the feeling will not be good at first."

Zhang Fei grinned wryly when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "If I don't need that, I don't want to sit in this life."

While the two brothers were talking, they saw a red-faced long-bearded general in full armor and wearing a green robe slowly stepping down from the warship.

Obviously, Guan Yu had never been on a boat before, so Cheng Haichuan was a little uncomfortable this time, but his reaction was not that strong. His face was just a little bit unpleasant, but his aura was still the same as before.

After seeing Liu Jian who was waiting for him on the shore, Guan Yu's spirit was lifted immediately. He strode towards Liu Jian, and knelt down to Liu Jian on one knee in front of all the soldiers.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for many years, Guan finally sees you again today...Brother!!"
