The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 68
Zhang Chao had about 4000 soldiers and horses in Guangling, leaving [-] men for Chen Dao, which should be enough for him to guard Xiapi.After arranging everything, Li Yuan sent someone to inform Huang Zhong to lead his troops to march towards Langya.

Tao Qian and Chen Gui escaped to Langya with great difficulty. Although they escaped the danger temporarily, Chen Gui still did not dare to be careless. As soon as he reached Langya, he immediately sent people to Beihai, Jibei and Guangling to ask for help, hoping to gather the power of the princes from all over the world. Against Li Yuan, with Li Yuan's current strength, Tao Qian could not fight alone.

In Langya Prefect's Mansion, Tao Qian and his advisers are discussing important matters.

"Well, the messenger who asked for help has been away for several days, and he hasn't come back until now. I don't know if he can succeed." Tao Qian said earnestly. get older.

"My lord, don't be anxious. The envoys you send will definitely bring us good news." Chen Gui comforted him. Life and death are uncertain, and this is what worries him even more.

"Why is Mr. Chen so sure that the princes of the three parties are willing to send reinforcements?" asked Mi Zhu, who was next in line.

Mi Zhu was a well-known businessman during the Three Kingdoms period. It is said that he was rich in the world. In "history", Liu Bei could not even support the army without Mi Zhu's support in the early days. It can be said that Mi Zhu was of great help to Liu Bei in the early days.

"Beihai Kong Rong and the lord have always been on good terms, so he must be willing to help the lord this time when he is in trouble," Chen Gui analyzed slowly, "Guangling County originally belonged to Xuzhou, so Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, is also under the jurisdiction of the lord, so it should be He will send troops. As for Jibei prefect Bao Xin, I believe he understands the reason why his lips are cold and his teeth die. Jibei is close to Xiaopei and Langya. Have you got Li Yuan's army?"

"Master Chen's words are justified." Mi Zhu suddenly realized that he had a unique vision for doing business, but he was a little weaker in analyzing the general situation and making good use of strategies. It can be said that Tao Qian's biggest reliance now is Chen Gui.

"Combined with the huge profits you promised, Zizhong, they will definitely send troops to help." Chen Gui knew that Mi Zhu was a wealthy man in Xuzhou, so he persuaded Mi Zhu to contribute money to help ask for reinforcements. Helping is the so-called soft-mouthed and short-handed, there is no one in this world who is not greedy, but it is divided into big greed and small greed.

"I just don't know if Xiaopei has fallen into Li Yuan's hands." Tao Qian worried. He wasn't worried about Xiaopei at first, but since Zhao Yun captured Xiapi with a few cavalry, he had to re-examine Li Yuan's combat effectiveness. .

"My lord, this subordinate got a piece of news this morning. I don't know if it's reliable."

"Zizhong just say it." Tao Qian looked at Mi Zhu strangely.

"A businessman from Xiaopei discussed that Xiaopei has been captured by Li Yuan's general Huang Zhong!" Mi Zhu has a lot of industries in Xuzhou, almost every city and county has his Mi family, so Usually, he was the first to get the news, not Tao Qian.

"Brother, this is absolutely impossible. There are at least [-] soldiers in Xiaopei. How could Huang Zhong defeat Xiaopei in just a day or two?" Mi Fang, who had not spoken for a long time, jumped out. He knew Xuzhou's military equipment like the back of his hand. That's why I said so.

Mi Fang is the younger brother of Mi Zhu. In the "history", he followed Mi Zhu to Liu Bei in the early years, and later became at odds with Guan Yu. When Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou, he surrendered in Kaicheng and surrendered to Soochow, which led to Guan Yu's final defeat and killing. There are countless sinners in the history of the country, and Mi Fang's infidelity and unrighteous behavior have also been reviled by many people. Even though he has defected to the country of Wu, there are still many people in the country who look down on him.

"If that Huang Zhong is as powerful as Zhao Yun, then it is indeed very possible to capture Xiaopei." Chen Gui was not so optimistic. He clearly knew that none of the generals under Li Yuan's command were vegetarians, and they couldn't even defend Xiapi. Let alone Xiaopei.

"Chen Zhubo, I heard another piece of news, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Mi Zhu hesitated for a while, but decided to ask Chen Gui first.

"What's the matter?" Chen Gui's heart skipped a beat, as if he had already guessed what Mi Zhu was going to say.

"According to the gossip, Yuanlong has surrendered to Li Yuan, and he personally led troops to open the gate of Xiaopei in a fraudulent manner, so Xiaopei was breached in just one day." Mi Zhu said what he heard. In fact, he was surprised when he heard the news.

"What? Yuanlong has already surrendered to Li Yuan?!" Chen Gui couldn't help but turn pale when he heard the words, and his face was very ugly.

"Hmph, what a Chen Deng. My lord's kindness to him is as great as a mountain, but he repays his kindness. He not only seeks refuge with Li Yuan, but also defrauds the city. It's really abominable. If I meet him, he will definitely be overwhelmed!" road.

Mi Zhu pulled Mi Fang's clothes with his hand, telling him to be careful when speaking, but Mi Fang didn't care, and said to himself, as if he was a messenger of justice, who came to the world to punish evildoers and serve the people of the world. uphold justice...

Chen Gui opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he still didn't say it. The only thing he is thankful for now is that Chen Deng is not dead.

"Don't be sad for Han Yu, and don't be angry for Zifang. This is just a gossip from Zizhong. I don't know if it's true or not. I believe Yuanlong is not that kind of person!" Tao Qian chose to believe Chen Deng after all.

"What the lord said is very true. It should be that my information is wrong. This news cannot be true."

Mi Zhu also made a relief for Chen Gui. In fact, he only said this to reassure Chen Gui. If Chen Deng really surrendered to Li Yuan, he was worried that Chen Gui would have a different heart and collude with Li Yuan.Mi Fang hummed, and looked at Chen Gui coldly.

"My lord, if Yuanlong really did such a rebellious thing, I will definitely hold him accountable and I will never tolerate it!" Chen Gui knelt down and said.

"Han Yu said it before. If Yuan Long really surrendered to Li Yuan, the fault is his and not yours. Don't blame yourself." Tao Qian quickly helped Chen Gui up. In fact, he could tell right from wrong, even if Chen Deng surrendered. The matter of Chen Deng has nothing to do with Chen Gui, and Chen Gui has been with him for a long time, has always been diligent and loyal, so he trusts Chen Gui very much.

At this time, a soldier came to report that Zhao Yun led a large cavalry to attack the city, and now he has set up camp three miles outside the city.

Everyone gasped when they heard the words, especially Tao Qian and Chen Gui, who had already seen the power of Zhao Yun's cavalry. It was thanks to Zhao Yun that Xiapi was captured, and Tao Qian's general Zhang Kai was killed by Zhao Yun himself. They are more afraid of Zhao Yun than Li Yuan!
"It's only been a few days since Xiapi was captured, and Zhao Yun came so fast. Could it be that he is really my Tao Qian's nemesis!" Tao Qian really hates and fears Zhao Yun now.

"My lord, don't panic, I will lead my troops to meet Zhao Yun for a while, to see if he has real skills!" Mi Fang wanted to challenge him.

"Zi Fang, don't be impulsive!" Tao Qian and Chen Gui said almost at the same time, they had already seen Zhao Yun's ability, and knew that Mi Fang was only going to die in the battle, not to mention that his martial arts were not as good as Zhang Kai, and it was even more impossible for him to be Zhao Yun's opponent.

Mi Fang felt a little baffled, thinking why Chen Gui and Tao Qian were so afraid of this, could it be that Zhao Yun is still superhuman and has the ability to ascend to heaven and earth?

"In that case, why don't I go up to the top of the city to observe first, and see what Zhao Yun is going to do." Mi Zhu suggested, he had heard about Zhao Yun's bravery, and everyone knew about the seven brave generals at Hulao Pass. , he had long wanted to see him.So Tao Qian and his party went to the top of the city to wait and see.

According to Li Yuan's instructions, Zhao Yun did not rush to attack after arriving in Langya, but camped and rested. He saw people's heads shaking on the top of Langya city from a distance, as if he saw Tao Qian's figure. Seeing this, he led some soldiers and horses to charge Go to the city of Langya.

Chen Gui in the city thought that Zhao Yun was about to launch an attack, and quickly ordered the archers to prepare for the design. However, Zhao Yun did not attack. When he was about to enter the enemy's range, he led the cavalry to turn around in a semicircle and ordered to shoot at the city.
