The only thing to worry about is that if Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Yuan Shu, or to powerful forces such as Liu Biao, Sun Jian, Zhou Yu, etc., Cao Cao would have to pay many times the price to get Xuzhou again in the future.

Therefore, it is crucial to convince Chen Gui and his son to eliminate Tao Qian and become independent.

At this moment, Cheng Yu's smile became even stronger, and he said to Chen Gui with a smile: "Brother Hanyu, he is really a tiger father without a dog son. I think Yuanlong's future achievements are still above you! Congratulations... However, you have to decide to tell me this matter as soon as possible. Cao Gong said that his original intention was to see Xuzhou flourishing under the rule of virtuous people. If you two are unwilling to take this risk and let others take the lead, Cao Gong will bring himself to the army. By then, how many more fruits can you two get?"

Cheng Yu said this very thoroughly. Now, due to the situation, he needs strong support from Chen Gui and his son, so he has pushed Chen Gui to the position of the lord of Xuzhou. If Cao Cao brought himself to the forefront, then Chen Gui and his son would be at most an internal supporter, and it would be great that he could maintain his current official position.

Chen Gui couldn't help but hesitate. The Lord of Xuzhou was indeed a huge temptation for him. He wanted to talk to Cheng Yu, but was stopped by Chen Deng. Chen Deng also smiled and said to Cheng Yu: "Thank you, Uncle Cheng for your trouble. Uncle came from afar, and I must be very tired. You might as well go to the wing room to have a good rest. I will send someone to send some meals in. We, father and son, discuss tonight, and what will you do to reply to you tomorrow morning?"

Cheng Yu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Chen Gui and Chen Deng. Chen Gui felt a little embarrassed to be seen, but Chen Deng was calm and looked back calmly. Cheng Yu nodded secretly in his heart. He had long heard that Chen Yuanlong, a young man in Xia Pi, was successful, knowledgeable and extremely intelligent, but he was a little unruly. When he saw him today, he was introverted and his methods were old. The future was really unlimited.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news tomorrow morning~~" Cheng Yu clasped his fists, bowed his hands, and turned around and left. After Cheng Yu left, only Chen Gui with a frown and Chen Deng with a serious expression remained in the room.

"Deng'er, Gongzu is about to lose his life, and this is indeed a great opportunity for us to wait. If he gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Zhou Yu, then we will not have a good life." Chen Gui pondered.

Chen Deng lowered his head and paced back and forth in the house. Finally, he made up his mind and said to Chen Gui resolutely: "Don't worry, Father. I have three strategies, upper, middle and lower, please see which strategy is appropriate."

"Haha, Deng'er, talk quickly~~" Chen Gui's eyebrows and eyes suddenly stretched out. Although he was well-read in poetry, he was not as good as his son in terms of strategy. Chen Gui knew this very well.

Chen Deng put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "In the current situation, Cao Cao was tied up by some important things and could not come with him. Otherwise, he would not rely so much on us. However, this move is too risky and the army we have is limited. The worst strategy is to immediately and secretly mobilize our army. It must be launched within two days to force Tao Qian to transfer the power of Xuzhou's governance to you. To be honest, there is no chance of doing this. As you and I know, Tao Qian's most trusted general Cao Bao left his general Zhang Kai to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to guard Tao Qian in Xia Pi, which is the biggest obstacle to our mutiny. And the fat man's younger brother Mi Fang had 10,000 soldiers in Donghai Village. If he marched urgently, he could reach the city of Xia Pi in one day and one night."
