Chapter 247: Interests.

A large army with a vertically white background and a yellow dragon flag launched a sudden attack on Haixi City.

留守海西城的袁军仅仅只有数百人,加之被突袭的缘故,根本来不及抵抗便被敌军突入城内。

If Cheng Yu were here, he would surely recognize this as the flag of the Panlong Army.

Judging by their numbers, there are actually a crowd of twenty thousand, almost emptying the defense forces of the southern front and relocating them here!

And so, everything began with the arrival of the messenger seeking help in Guangling City a few days ago.

Upon learning about the Yuan army's sudden attack on Donghai County, Chen Deng was both shocked and furious. Immediately, he prepared to lead a force of 12,000 troops to rescue Donghai County, leaving behind 13,000 soldiers to defend the southern front.

Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, was worried that his son would be in control of a large army without having his own power, and he was also concerned about his son making mistakes. Therefore, despite his old age, Chen Gui also came to the Panlong Army. He temporarily took on the position of chief clerk to assist Chen Deng and make up for any deficiencies. Translated: "

Although Chen Deng was in a hurry, he still discussed with his father Chen Gui.

Chen Gui was also surprised, he did not expect Yuan Shao to have such courage and insight.

Chen Deng analyzed the current situation for Chen Gui.

"Yuan Shu is leading the main force to attack Liu Yao, which seems like an attempt to eliminate him during the Cao-Yuan conflict, with most of the troops involved in it. However, that fierce tiger is left in Shouchun, even though the military strength there is not significant. I still hesitate to take too many soldiers away."

Xiahou Yuan, although he has been neglected by Yuan Shu in recent years and gradually fallen into silence without any achievements, no one would think that the old tiger is unable to fight anymore. He is just lurking, and a lurking hungry tiger is the most terrifying. Therefore, no matter what, Chen Deng dare not take too many troops to support Donghai County.

Chen Gui stroked his beard, lost in thought, then let out a soft chuckle.

"I had forgotten about Yuan Golou's temperament. Don't worry, Deng Er, you take twenty thousand men and go, leave five thousand for me. I guarantee that Lu Bu won't launch an attack on the southern front."

Chen Deng widened his eyes and looked at his father in puzzlement.

Chen Gui laughed heartily as he explained the reasons to Chen Deng.

"My son, have you forgotten that the Chen family in Xiapi and the Yuan family in Runan have been close friends for generations? Your father has known Yuan Gonglu since our youth, and though we had a deep friendship, I do not believe he can ultimately conquer the world. Moreover, as the head of the family, I have the responsibility to bear the weight of our clan and cannot gamble the entire Chen family in Xiapi by helping him."

However, no matter how good the relationship between father and Yuan Gonglu is, he is after all a warlord and will not be easily influenced by father's words."

Chen Gui shook his head. "Unless they have a friendship as close as Sikong and Guo Jijiu, who are willing to live and die together, it is unlikely. However, in this world, everyone is driven by their own interests. As long as there is enough incentive to make Yuan Gonglu tempted, he will naturally transfer Lv Bu elsewhere."

陈登看向陈珪,有些惊恐,自家父亲这是要和袁术做私下的交易?哪怕是为了大势,亦是背主之行啊。

陈珪笑了笑“放心,这份代价无需我们付,而是由河北袁军付。”

The contradiction between Yuan Gonglu and Yuan Benchu is known to all. If Yuan Benchu is forced to suffer a setback, Yuan Gonglu will be delighted. Even if he sees Yuan Benchu being defeated by our lord and the tide of the world turning towards our lord, he would still make the same choice. As long as we inform Yuan Gonglu of the true situation, he will definitely transfer Lu Bu and guarantee not to send troops. Besides, do you think Yuan Gonglu doesn't want to send Lu Bu to the front line? Firstly, it's because Lu Bu has just newly joined, so he wants to test his temperament. Secondly, he needs Lu Bu to guard the rear for him. I heard that Yuan Shu is currently troubled by Liu Yao's top general, Taishi Ci, and even Ji Ling is no match for Taishi Ci. If it weren't for us keeping a close eye on the southern front, he would have transferred Lu Bu long ago.

Chen Deng looked at Chen Gui in astonishment, unexpectedly discovering that there were so many twists and turns involved. It has to be said, the old are indeed more cunning.

Chen Deng may be the strategist on the battlefield, but when it comes to understanding and manipulating human hearts, he is far inferior to Chen Gui. With just a few words, Chen Gui resolved a situation that Chen Deng couldn't figure out. This also made Chen Deng feel fortunate to have his father's support in the military.

Later, Chen Deng had the letter written by Chen Gui sent to Yuan Shu urgently through the Mingjing Hall.

And Yuan Shu, upon receiving Chen Gui's letter, was also surprised. Although the two had known each other since their youth and had a deep bond, their interactions had gradually decreased after Yuan Shu became a warlord in his own right.

When Yuan Shu opened the letter, as he read it, he smiled. His companions, such as Ji Ling, looked at him with confusion on their faces. Having been by Yuan Shu's side for many years, they could naturally tell that their lord's smile was genuine.

"This Chen Hanyu, so cunning and sly, hahaha, cunning and sly indeed! After all these years, you old guy still understand me so well. However, this Yuan Bencu is also quite formidable, scheming to bring about this situation." Please note that the translation may not be accurate.

Yuan Shu's gaze darkened for a moment, "

Yuan Benchu, I won't let you have things your way."

Yan Xiang understood Yuan Shu's meaning and tentatively asked, "Lord, do you mean to unleash that fierce tiger for hunting? Putting aside whether he has honed his skills enough, what if Lu Bu is not stationed in Shouchun and the Panlong Army from the south starts moving southward, what should we do?"

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "I not only want that wild tiger to come out for food, but also his Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Eight Valiant Warriors. As for the Panlong Army, don't worry, I have reached some agreements with Chen Hanyu. They will never head south."

Yan Xiang furrowed his brow, naturally knowing that Yuan Shu was referring to Chen Gui. However, he couldn't think of what kind of deal Chen Gui could make with Yuan Shu and grew somewhat uneasy.

"I don't know if Chen Gui can be trusted, but if this matter is true, our military can fully concentrate on attacking Liu Yao, a tough opponent. With Lu Bu present, Tai Shici will surely be no match. Without Tai Shici, Liu Yao is like a toothless tiger, all bark and no bite."

一旁的纪灵听到这句话,不由低了低头。他性格沉稳,与阎象私交密切,二人都是袁术最初的班底,所以也不会因这句话而生气,只是有些羞愧罢了。

He is the first fierce general under Yuan Shu's command, but he cannot defeat Taishi Ci.

This is how people are, once they cannot beat someone, it becomes even easier for them to lose the second time they face them.

第一次的夜袭草草迎战败北,后来养好了伤再战依旧是差那一分。如今自家主公必须要请来那头不让人放心的虓虎才能对付太史慈,这让纪灵情何以堪。
