Different World Card Fight

Lü Bu waved his hand and smiled, "When Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian in Xuzhou, didn't you and Zhang Miao also turn to support me? Although Chen Deng's methods were unbearable during this process, it was the way it was at that time. Honest people couldn't survive!" What Lü Bu said was also an old story. At that time, Cao Cao's father Cao Song had taken refuge in Langya County, Xuzhou, and his family was preparing to go to Cao Cao. Tao Qian sent the captain Zhang Kai to lead troops to escort them. Zhang Kai was tempted by the money and killed Cao Song and robbed him.

Cao Cao was furious and took his anger out on Tao Qian. He led 170,000 troops eastward to Xuzhou to avenge Tao Qian, slaughtering cities and generals along the way. Even the people in Luoyang and Chang'an who had come to Xuzhou to escape Dong Zhuo's rebellion were also

A large number of people died in this war. At the most critical moment in Xuzhou, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse: in April of the first year of Xingping, when Cao Cao was killing people in Xuzhou, the two people he trusted most: Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, and Chen Gong, a general stationed in Dongjun, unexpectedly

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong took advantage of the empty base camp to welcome Lü Bu, who was passing through Chenliu, into Yanzhou. All of a sudden, all the counties responded to Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, and within a few days, the whole state had changed its master. Cao Cao learned the news and quickly returned to quell the rebellion. However, except for the three counties of Dong'a, Zhencheng, and Fanxian in the north of Yanzhou, which were adjacent to Jizhou, they were still under the control of Cao Cao's generals Cao Ren, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu. The rest of the counties had been taken over by Cao Cao.

All fell into Lu Bu's hands.

It was also because of Chen Gong's betrayal and Lu Bu's entry into Yanzhou that Xuzhou was able to take a precious breath.

Chen Gong smiled and said, "Each of us serves his own master. Even if we are devoted to assisting our master, we will abandon him cleanly if we disagree with him. Isn't it more abominable to collude with the enemy internally?" Chen Gong's character is actually more upright. When Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and was caught while escaping, Chen Gong was able to give up his current position, the reward he would get for handing Cao Cao over, and release Cao Cao.

And the fact that he escaped with him shows Chen Gong's persistence. Even after his death in the end, there was no change in the slightest.

"Why do you still remember these things?" Lu Bu said with a smile: "We explored the secret realm before and cooperated with Cao Cao or Liu Bei. Now it's a completely new situation. Let's not talk about these things anymore!"

"Come to think of it, although we have been brought from Xiaopei to Xiapi before, Cao Bao has still stayed in Xiaopei, right?" Chen Gong did not continue the topic. He started talking about another person. "Danyang's elite soldiers are famous all over the world!" Lu Bu said with a smile, "Cao Bao is an old man who followed Tao Qian and is one of the controllers of Danyang's elite soldiers. At the beginning, if Liu Bei had not wanted to inherit Tao Qian's position, occupy Xuzhou, and even fight with Xuzhou,

Some of the old men who followed Tao Qian had a violent conflict, and there would be no conspiracy between Cao Bao and us to rob Zhang Fei's city! "This incident is well-known, and the Jiang army also knows it. However, the inside story is that Liu Bei went to attack Yuan Shu and left Zhang Fei to guard Xuzhou. Zhang Fei held a banquet for all officials. He brought wine to Cao Bao, who only drank one glass. Zhang Fei

Cao Bao was angry that Zhang Fei was Lü Bu's father-in-law, so he whipped him fifty times. Cao Bao hated Zhang Fei deeply, and secretly conspired with Lü Bu to lead Lü Bu to seize Xuzhou and drive Zhang Fei away.

But now it seems that it was because Tao Qian asked Liu Bei to inherit the post of Mu of Xuzhou that a conflict arose between Liu Bei and the old men under Tao Qian's command, which eventually led to this incident.

Some people say that Cao Bao has no ability. Although the elite soldiers of Danyang are powerful, it is because the Danyang elite soldiers themselves have strong folk customs and a good foundation, so they have the reputation of Danyang elite soldiers.

But don't you know that the commander-in-chief plays a more important role in this? Take the Western Liang Iron Cavalry for example. They are all the world-famous cavalrymen with Qiang and Hu blood from Yong and Liang states and trained with excellent horses. But why was the Western Liang Iron Cavalry under Dong Zhuo able to dominate the world, enter Chang'an, and defeat the princes of the world?

When Ma Teng occupied Xiliang, his cavalry was brave, but they never made it to the Central Plains?

Therefore, it is nonsense to attribute all the merits to the elite soldiers of Danyang and ignore the ability of his commander. If Cao Bao had no ability, how could he protect Xuzhou from the influence of the Yellow Turbans in the early days of the chaos and continue to live and work in peace? Although benevolent governance is a key point, benevolent governance without military force cannot last.

of.

You know, when did Liu Bei come to Xuzhou? Liu Bei came to Xuzhou because Cao Cao wanted to avenge his father and attacked Xuzhou.

Why did Cao Cao dare to come to Xuzhou from his own territory? Did he have such great strength? Because at that time, the Yellow Turban Army had been almost eliminated, and Cao Cao's Yellow Turban surrendered troops had been integrated into the famous "Qingzhou Army". In other words, at that time, the peak stage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion had already passed.

It's over. Let me ask, during that period, wasn't it Cao Bao and others who led the elite Danyang soldiers under their command to defend Xuzhou and fight against the Yellow Turban Army? Let's not talk about Cao Bao. If, according to the novel, Tao Qian had no talents under his command and Tao Qian himself had no ability, how could Xuzhou resist the invasion of the Yellow Turbans? This is a very serious paradox. Jiang Jun also

It is only now that I think about this problem that I feel that in order to highlight the heroic images of Cao, Liu and others, the novel may have belittled the abilities of these "supporting characters".

To get back to the point, here Jiang Jun noticed that although the giants of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were brilliant, none of the eighteen princes, the giants who ruled one side of the world, were easy to deal with.

Let's get back to the topic. Jiang Jun only thought about it for a moment, and the reason he explained it in detail was to lay the groundwork for what was to come.

"It's a pity that the Xuzhou tyrants actually supported Liu Bei, and the general was just on good terms with the generals in the army. If not, the situation in Xuzhou would have changed fundamentally!" Chen Gong laughed. Tao Qian and Cao Bao were not native to Xuzhou. In fact, they were from Danyang in the south, so they were able to recruit elite soldiers from a place with tough folk customs. In the future, Dongwu took great pains to recruit soldiers in Danyang, but it was not

There is no need to say more. Therefore, the problems and conflicts between outsiders and locals are needless to say. Anyway, Tao Qian also spent some means to win them over. But when Tao Qian was about to return to the west, the issue of inheriting Xuzhou was just as Chen Gong said.

It was this problem that led to Lv Bu's eventual occupation of Xuzhou, but also laid the hidden danger that led to his downfall. Guangling prefect Yaxie Zhao Yu, a famous scholar in Xufang, was also invited by Tao Qian to serve as an official. He first served as Beijia, a "stronghold of the state", and later was selected as a talented person and transferred to Guangling prefect. Guangling was one of the most fertile places in Xuzhou at that time! Another famous scholar in Xuzhou, Donghai Wang Lang, resigned from his post and mourned after the death of his teacher, Taiwei Yang Ci. He refused several times to be "selected as filial and incorruptible, and appointed to the government office". However, when Tao Qian came to Xuzhou, he selected him as a talented person. He immediately accepted the order and came to serve as "Zhizhong".

Mi Zhu of Donghai, a powerful man whose ancestors had been merchants for generations, had 10,000 servants and servants, and a fortune of billions, was appointed by Tao Qian as a deputy driver; Chen Deng of Xiapi, a descendant of the royal family, was 25 years old at the time and was the head of Dongyang. Tao Qian recommended him as the captain of agriculture and made him important in farming.

Ren handed it over to him; there was also the famous Zhang Zhao. "The Biography of Zhang Zhao" said, "The governor Tao Qian recommended him as a talented person, but he did not respond. Qian thought he was looked down upon and was therefore arrested. Yu leaned over to rescue him and he was saved."

In other words, Tao Qian tried his best to win over these local tycoons. Moreover, looking at who these people are, and some of the things that happened later, it is not difficult to see the problem. Although Lü Bu occupied Xuzhou and gained the support of Cao Bao and other people in Tao Qian's army, what about the tycoons? Needless to say, the Mi brothers were firm supporters of Liu Bei, and another person just discussed, Chen Deng, was afraid that when Lü Bu occupied Xuzhou,

Xuzhou, ignoring the local tyrants, began to think of getting rid of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "There is no need to talk about these old things. There is another army worth paying attention to!"

Lu Bu didn't care about those things at all. The past was too painful to look back on, but there was no need to think too much about it, as everything had gone with the wind.

"Are you one of the four bandits of Mount Tai together with General Zang Ba?" Chen Gong said with a smile, "Back then, the four bandits of Mount Tai, under the leadership of Zang Ba's Jiang army, also supported us. We have a close relationship with them. They are better than those who read the books of sages in vain!" It is indeed so strange to say that if Lu Bu had a bad reputation and was despised by the world, then why, judging from various circumstances, although he was not well-received by the scholars, except Chen Gong, in terms of the army, it might be Zang Ba who was the leader?

However, all the righteous men chose to support Lu Bu. The deep meaning behind this is worth considering.

There are certainly some scholars with high moral integrity, but Jiang Jun thought of a saying that "full of morality, but full of thieves and prostitutes" is probably more suitable to describe some people. "It is said that Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, also have god-level strength. Can they explore outside and even improve the strength of the people in the city? Will they get any treasures?" Jiang Jun asked. Although the army is approaching,

, the other party will definitely not be able to cause any trouble, but it is still better to be prepared.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong's abilities are more than that, but for some reason, he is only at level nine. I wonder if this guy can take this opportunity to break free from his shackles!"

Jiang Jun was moved when he heard this. It seems that his previous thoughts may be correct. In the earliest days of this world, it was probably based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so there were only a few powerful people with full attributes of 100.

Next, there are some characters from storytelling, and those who are really capable may be suppressed, such as Wang Su. However, perhaps it is to hone them, but Jiang Jun thinks it may be related to their reputation in their previous lives. Wang Su is not famous at all, so he is only at the Great Sage level. Although Chen Deng is somewhat famous, he is not described too much in the novel, so unless you study it specifically, ordinary people only know Zhuge and Sima, and don’t know how powerful Chen Deng is.
