Speaking of which, Cao Cao's army was coming to Puyang City. Although Lu Bu was ready to fight Cao Cao in Puyang City, he felt that he should have a way out.

So he followed Chen Gong's advice and sent someone to send a letter to Liu Bei. The letter said: He wanted to join forces with Liu Bei's family to destroy Cao. At this time, Han Fei was still in Jiang and did not come back, so Liu Bei summoned Ju Su and Chen Deng to listen to their opinions.

After reading Lu Bu's letter, Ju Su said, "Lord, Lu Bu is a capricious person and has repeatedly rebelled against his master! I do not agree with cooperation with him!"

After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said, "This person is indeed as Ju Su said, and I don't want to have too much contact with him. But now he invites me to fight against Cao Cao together, and I really have some..."

Liu Bei didn't say it, but both of them understood what he meant. He had fought with Cao Cao before, and there would definitely be another battle in the future. If Cao Cao was crippled now, it would definitely be a good thing for Liu Bei. Lu Bu must have written this letter for this reason, but Lu Bu would definitely not have thought that something so far away must be done by Chen Gong. It seems that this person should not be underestimated!

Chen Deng said at this time: "Lord, you might as well agree to him, but we do not want to fight Cao Cao to the death. As long as we act as a stance to send troops, Cao Cao will have to increase troops in the corresponding area. In this way, the pressure on Lu Bu will be much smaller, and he will be able to hold on for a longer time. As long as Lu Bu is still in Yanzhou for one day, Cao Cao will be like a thorn in his throat! Even if he wants to develop with peace of mind, it will not work."

Liu Bei's eyes lit up after hearing this, and nodded immediately and said, "Yuan Long said it right. In this way, I will increase troops in Pengcheng and Lucheng. I believe Cao Mengde will be careful and guard against it!"

Ju Su followed and said, "Since the lord has made a decision, you might as well do it more thoroughly. In Yanzhou, there is a big mountain called Jiuli Mountain at the intersection of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. There is a small town next to the mountain called Shanyang County, first belonging to Yanzhou East County. The lord can make people seize that small town and then station troops on Jiuli Mountain. This will make Cao Cao panic."

"The lord can also send someone to send some food, grass and weapons to Lu Bu. I believe that with the lord's support, he will definitely persist for a longer time!" Chen Deng added.

After hearing this, Liu Bei immediately made a decision and said, "Very good! Yuanlong, you reply to Lu Bu on behalf of me, and I agree to him attack Cao together. Not only that, I will give him ten thousand dans of food, ten dans of salt, and three thousand dans of weapons! Then let him remember to send troops to accept it."

"It's the lord!" Chen Deng agreed.

"Then let me discuss again, who will send troops to occupy Shanyang County?" Liu Bei asked.

Ju Su pondered for a moment and said, "Lord, I recommend someone to be this person!"

"Who?" Liu Bei said curiously.

"Zhang He and Zhang Junyi!" Ju Su replied.

"Well, he is a good candidate. But who will guard the city if he leaves Lu?"

"Lord, then Taishan County is now home to Sun Guan and Chang Xi, why not transfer one person to Lucheng! In this way, Zhang He can get rid of himself!" Ju Su suggested.

"Chang Feng?" Liu Bei frowned. He remembered that Han Fei had reminded him that Chang Feng was different from others in the Taishan bandits. This person was greedy and capricious, so he must not lead troops alone! Liu Bei recognized Han Fei's skills of identifying people, but Chang Feng had come to his subordinates for some time, and he still looked very honest. In addition, no one under his subordinates were available at this moment. So Liu Bei finally decided to transfer Sun Guan to guard Lucheng and leave Chang Feng to guard Taishan County.

Since it was decided, Liu Bei immediately issued an order. Ju Su and Chen Deng both took the order and left.

Besides, Lu Bu was very happy when he received a letter from Liu Bei. If Liu Bei had helped, he would have hope of defeating Cao Cao and then occupying the entire Yanzhou. However, compared to his optimism, Chen Gong did not think so. Liu Bei agreed too simply, not only did he not mention any conditions, but he also had to send food and weapons. This forced Chen Gong to doubt what Liu Bei wanted.

However, he didn't think about it, but he didn't think about it. What exactly did Lu Bu pay for Liu Bei so much attention. So he simply stopped thinking about it, and left the house in the evening and wandered around the city without any trouble. At this time, the lights were on, and he suddenly saw a wine shop on the street, and he felt extremely hungry. He was thinking about it all afternoon and had not yet entered. It would be strange if he was not hungry!

So Chen Gong walked towards the tavern and entered the tavern to find that the place was not big, only five large tables, and not many people were there at this time, but he saw an acquaintance here. This person was either someone else or Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the general under Lu Bu. Zhang Liao followed Lu Bu after he was Bingzhou, and he fought in the east and west. He was the real right-hand man under Lu Bu.

At this moment, Zhang Liao was drinking alone with his back to him, looking a little lonely. Chen Gong walked over and sat opposite Zhang Liao and said, "Why is General Zhang alone here?"

"Why is Mr. Gongtai here?" Zhang Liao was stunned when he saw Chen Gong.

"General Zhang can come, can't I come?" Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Where is it! Just call me to express my words!"

"Okay, then I will call you Wenyuan. You don't have to call Mr. Wu, just call the official station. By the way, I just saw you looking lonely. Could it be that something was wrong?"

"Oh, Mr. Gongtai!" Zhang Liao sighed, "To be honest, I am really homesick! We followed the general to leave Bingzhou and did not go back. My family is still in Yanmen, and the grassland is close to the grassland. The Huns are disturbed all year round. I am a little worried that I haven't returned for such a long time!"

As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. Zhang Liao is just a complaint, but it sounds like a big deal to Chen Gong! Although it is human nature to think of the family, most of Lu Bu’s subordinates are Bingzhou men, and most of his family members are still in Bingzhou. This is a big problem. Especially now that Cao Cao’s army is in a big way, if the morale of the army is unstable because of this matter, it will be a big deal!

"Wenyuan why didn't you bring his family?" Chen Gong stared at Zhang Liao and asked.

"Mr. Gongtai, don't bully me! Although our army occupied Puyang City, we have no foundation in Yanzhou and will withdraw sooner or later. If our family members are here, how can we still be able to advance and retreat freely!" Zhang Liao said with a wry smile.

After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Chen Gong nodded constantly and said, "Wen Yuan's words are indeed the case. Although our army now occupies Puyang, the people's hearts are not in my hands! Even if we can defend this time, we will leave sooner or later! The most urgent thing is to find a foundation! I have never understood that Wen Yuan is really a talented person! If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost missed the big thing!"
