In the tent, a strange atmosphere was slowly spreading. Lu Lingqi stared at Yuan Shang tightly, and a trembling cold light popped out from his eyes.

"Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Chen Deng, these three people must die!" Lu Lingqi repeated the words with Yuan Shang again in an unquestionable tone.

Yuan Shang frowned and did not avoid Lu Lingqi's aggressive gaze. He sighed and said, "Actually, I understand your mood."

Lu Lingqi snorted heavily, and his hand that was untied for Yuan Shang slowly fell down without realizing it, saying, "If you understand, just look at the words you just said. You have the idea of ​​keeping those three people in your heart. Do you think I don't know anything?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said helplessly: "Lingqi, listen to my advice. Enemies should be resolved rather than formed. Fighting for dominance of the world is helpless. Sometimes there is no need to kill them all. The person who ordered your father to be killed is Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao is dead, why bother to hold on to the rest of the people? They also have to do it for the sake of the times... If possible, no one in this world would really be willing to kill people!"

Lu Lingqi raised the corner of her mouth, sneered slightly, and said, "Just, your father's great revenge has been avenged, Cheng Yu and Cao Cao are both dead, of course you are standing and talking without any pain!"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Yes, my father's revenge is avenged, but if I really want to avenge my father, the Cao family will slaughter all the people in the world and cannot say anything, but I will not do that. If possible, after conquering the Central Plains, I would even be willing to let Cao Zhi go, and the descendants of the Cao family have a way out! Just like when Cao Cao killed your father, he captured you alive and did not kill him. Why is this, because Cao Cao understands the truth that if he does everything, he will be done! Lingqi, why can't we be more generous and let go of some people we don't need to pursue?"

The two of them silently met and were silent for a while.

"Have you made up your mind?" Lu Lingqi spoke again, his voice lingering.

"I've made up my mind!"

Lu Lingqi nodded, smiled faintly, and said, "Very good!"

After saying that, she never glanced at Yuan Shang again and turned around and came out of Yuan Shang's handsome tent.

Yuan Shang raised his foot and wanted to chase him, but after hesitating for a while, he stopped.

In fact, it is impossible to blame Lu Lingqi for this matter, but some things cannot be completely subject to her thoughts. It is true that Zhang Liao, Chen Deng, and Zang Ba are her enemies, but it is also a fact that they are the top talents in the world. In this matter, I cannot spoil her temperament and must not give in.

Yuan Shang sighed and turned around and sat on the bed.

Let her go back to the tent and have a good rest.

Sometimes leaders are not so easy to be a good person, and everything that can be achieved only in dreams.

Yuan Shang grinned slightly and smiled bitterly.

Perhaps, this is what is called the coldness of high places...

Yuan Shang tossed and turned on the bed. He didn't sleep well all night. As soon as he got together, he saw Wang Shuang hurried to see him and gave him a bombshell.

"The lord, the wife, left a letter and led a team of personal guards back to Hebei!"

"What!?"

Yuan Shang trembled, and he hurriedly got up and took the letter from Wang Shuang's hands. After lowering his head and reading it carefully, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What a willful woman. I was hoping that she could calm herself down. Who would have thought that if she couldn't agree on a few words, she would go home with a burden? She is playing with a donkey for me..."

Wang Shuang was silent for a moment and hesitated: "Lord, what should I do? Will I send someone to chase me?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "No need, hatred has blinded his eyes. To ask her to stay here will only get in the way. We will continue to act according to the plan! Let's find a way to recruit Chen Deng first."

Wang Shuang blinked and said, "Lord, then Chen Deng is currently the prefect of Guangling. Should we conquer Guangling now?"

Yuan Shang waved his hand and said, "Now is not a time to compete for the city. Zhou Yu is not a good-looking lamp. Once we take action, the Eastern Wu will take advantage of the opportunity to attack our army. The gain will not be worth the loss. Wang Shuang, today I will send you as a general and lead an army to challenge the Eastern Wu. Victory or defeat is not important. If you lose, you will lose. The problem is not to let Zhou Yu see that we have other purposes. Do you understand?"

Wang Shuang suddenly slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, lord! I understand!"

Yuan Shang thought for a while and said, "You are strong with force and are not good at using strategy. This time you go to Dongwu to agree to the invitation to fight. It is best not to fight, but to fight the generals... The general of Dongwu has a hot temper and is very brave. If you go this time, you can fight Zhou Tai alone!"

Wang Shuang bowed heavily and said, "No!" After that, he turned around and came out.

After Zhou Tai left, Yuan Shang immediately ordered Zhang Yan to come.

In the first battle in Xuzhou, Ma Chao, Zhang Yan and Gao Lan were defeated. Ma Chao was seriously injured and sent back to Qingzhou for maintenance. Gao Lan and Zhang Yan were punished by Yuan Shang to return to the army and temporarily served as supervisor of food and grass.

When he was young, Zhang Yan walked into the camp and bowed and said, "Lord, you call me?"

Yuan Shang looked him up and down a few times and smiled, "Old thief, I've asked you to supervise the food and grass for this period of time, and I feel a little wronged."

Zhang Yan laughed, waved her hand, and said, "Take it down, you are still doing this with me? The vanguard army is defeated. If you don't punish me and Gao Lan, you can't argue in front of the three armies! I understand!"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "It's rare that you understand the truth so well."

Zhang Yan curled her lips and said, "But then again, this is you. If it were someone else, I would not be so angry with him... Oh, there is no way, who made us a friend of life and death? Tell me! What's the matter!"

Yuan Shang thought for a while and said, "In addition to Ju Zu's overall view of the overall situation, you have always been the ones who take care of the personnel. I want to use the spies in Guangling City to do a big thing, so you can arrange it for me."

Zhang Yan's face turned right and said, "What's the matter?"

"I want to recruit the prefect of Guangling, Chen Deng, but before sending someone to surrender, I need to find out the current situation of Chen Deng and the power of the Chen family in Xuzhou in recent years. Send someone to do a quick look. Remember, this matter is very urgent, you must be quick!"

Zhang Yan laughed and nodded, "Don't worry, I'll leave it to me. I will definitely give my lord a satisfactory reply within three days!"

Yuan Shang shook his head and smiled and said, "No, three days are too long, I can only give you one day!"

Zhang Yan: “…………”

That night, Wang Shuang led his army back and apologized to Yuan Shang. However, he went to fight Zhou Tai as Yuan Shang asked. The other party did send this general, but he took advantage of the opportunity of Zhou Tai and Wang Shuang to send generals Xu Sheng and Ding Feng to steal out of the camp on both sides of left and right. After hiding Wang Shuang, Wang Shuang was caught off guard and was defeated and left. Fortunately, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang responded. The three of them fought back again and were ambushed by Taishi Ci, and then broke for a while.

Yuan Shang didn't say anything when he heard this, but the matter was as expected. Zhou Yu was not using troops at will. It was reasonable for Wang Shuang and his generals to be his opponent. Moreover, his current intention was to show weakness. According to Ju Su's suggestion, the current successive defeat was to lay the groundwork for the final counterattack.

The news about Zhang Yan was quickly passed back to the camp, and the spies brought back the situation of Chen Deng and the Chen family in Xuzhou in recent years, but the narratives in it were very exciting for Yuan Shang.

Since the death of the previous head of the Chen family, the cunning Chen Gui, no will be left in a hurry, and no one of the three heirs of the Chen family has been convinced. The relationship is very stiff and quite dissatisfied. Although Chen Deng finally ascended the position of head of the family, the Chen family still made the prosperity of the Chen family more depressed than that of that year.

Another important news is that Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, is currently suffering from a chronic disease, and doctors from all walks of life in Xuzhou cannot see anything wrong. Chen Deng’s strange disease is in the stomach and intestines. Although his appetite is good, he is getting thinner and weak, and even rumors that Chen Deng may be critically ill are spread.

Although Chen Deng is not terminally ill yet, he will definitely not be able to save himself if he continues!

With this news, Yuan Shang had a way to surrender him!

He immediately found Pang Ji and asked him to hide in secret to Guangling. In the name of his envoy, he met Chen Deng and asked him to say that he was powerful. In addition, he immediately sent someone to Jizhou and moved Hua Tuo to come.

Although Zheng Ji's strategy is not top-notch, he is definitely one of the few good players under Yuan Shang's command when it comes to talking.

After sending Pang Ji, Yuan Shang immediately ordered Jiao Chu, Zhang Nan, Ma Yan and Zhang Kai to fight against the Eastern Wu the next day.

Of course, these four people should not be the opponents of Zhou Yu and the generals of the Eastern Wu, but Yuan Shang didn't care.

The current defeat is to lay the foundation for the final victory.

Zhang Ji was very fast and arrived in Guangling City within a few days. While hiding by the city, he secretly sent people to Chen Deng's mansion and delivered a message.

Chen Deng, who was ill in bed, was really shocked after receiving a reply from Jiang Ji.

He never expected that Yuan Shang, who had a deep hatred with Lu Lingqi, would actually send someone to find him.

Chen Mansion, inside Chen Deng’s bedroom.

Chen Deng met Yuan Shang's messenger, Zheng Ji, on the bed with a pale face and a sick look on his face.

"Mr. Gong, I am suffering from a stubborn disease and cannot stand up to greet him. I am really ashamed. I hope Mr. Gong will not be disgusted."

Zhang Ji looked at Chen Deng and saw that he was pale and haggard, knowing that what he said was not false, and then said, "I don't expect that Yuan Long's disease is so serious. Mr. Rong thought it was a rumor outside. It seems that the words in the market are not false!"

Although it was the first time we met, Jiang Ji opened his mouth and directly called Chen Dengbiao to bring the relationship closer, saying that he was good at his skills or he was thick-skinned, it was all the same.

Chen Deng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. Chen's destiny is coming, but he also admitted his defeat this time."

Zheng Ji shook his head and said, "It's wrong for Yuanlong to say this. You still have to take good care of your health and recover as soon as possible. The world still needs a wise man like Yuanlong, and the side of Yuan Gong also needs a talent like Yuanlong."
