After hearing Chen Deng's words, Guo Jia became interested and hurriedly said, "Oh? Do you have a plan to kill Yuan Shang and Sun Quan? Tell me quickly and listen!"

Chen Deng smiled and said, "It is OK to say that, but I would like to ask Guo Jijiu to agree to Chen Deng's request just now."

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and pretended to be stupid and said, "What request?"

Chen Deng was not anxious or upset, but just smiled and said, "It is the request to ask the priest to seek a clear-cut road for the Chen family and my son after my death."

Guo Jia slowly closed his eyes, and finally spoke after a while.

"Chen Yuanlong, it's not impossible to ask Guo to agree to your request. It's just that Guo needs you to give you the corresponding reward. I believe you should understand what the reward is, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Deng hurriedly knelt on one knee, dragged his weak body to salute Guo Jiashen, and said, "Don't worry, Guo Jijiu, I will do my best!"

……………………

……………………

When he was young, Chen Deng finished explaining the plan to Guo Jia, and Guo Jia immediately ordered someone to carry Chen Deng out and take him to the guest room for rest. Then he asked everyone about his opinions.

"Everyone, what do you think about what Chen Deng said and what he planned?" Guo Jia seemed to be inheriting Cao Cao's habits back then. Regardless of whether he had made a conclusion in his mind, he would ask for the opinions of his subordinates.

Zang Ba was the first to stand up and object, saying: "Chen Deng is not trustworthy. The last general asks Guo Jijiu to ignore him. He either kills him or expels him. He will always be a disaster!"

Guo Jia turned to Zang Ba and said with a smile: "What is General Xuan Gao's statement based on?"

Zang Ba snorted and said, "Based on what he did in the past!"

Guo Jia nodded, turned to look at the other generals and said, "What else do you want to say?"

After a brief silence, Li Dian left work.

"Guo Jijiu, there will be something to say."

Guo Jia smiled and raised his hand, saying, "What do you mean by the general of Manchester City? But it's okay to say it."

Li Dian raised some words, and then slowly said: "Jijiu Guo, please forgive me for being so stupid. Is Chen Deng's illness true or pretending according to your opinion?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly and asked without answering, "What do you think of General Mancheng?"

Li Dian thought for a while and said, "According to what I think, it should be true."

Guo Jia laughed: "Mr. Guo also thinks so."

Li Dian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, "If it is true, then that's easy to say. According to the opinion of the lower person, Chen Deng had repeatedly betrayed his master, but now he is terminally ill. He has not been able to find a backer for his son and the Chen family. Therefore, according to the opinion of the lower person, he said just now, 80% of it should be true."

Guo Jia nodded after hearing this.

"In addition, Chen Deng and Lu Bu's daughter have an irreconcilable grudge. It would be no benefit for the Chen family to surrender to Yuan Shang. According to Chen Deng's cleverness, he would not have done such a stupid thing. After all, it is too risky for him to surrender to Yuan. If it is safe, he will continue to serve Cao, so that Xuzhou will not overturn the ship of the Chen family in the control of Cao. In addition, the plan he has made just now, although it is an exaggeration to kill Yuan Shang and Sun Quan, it is not a good idea. I think Chen Deng really wants to use the power of sacrificial wine to find a big tree for the Chen family to enjoy the shade after his death."

Guo Jia nodded after hearing this, expressing his affirmation of Li Dian's words. He turned his head to Zhang Liao again and said, "General Wenyuan, what do you think?"

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "It is true or false, but Chen Deng's plan is not clear yet. However, if Chen Deng fails, he will kill him immediately in my Xia Pi City to eliminate future troubles. If it is done, we can use this to promote it, so that Yuan Shang and Dongwu know that this strategy was offered by Chen Deng. Then the hatred between Chen Deng and the two families will be even more unsolvable. Isn't that great if you are willing to use it for our army at that time?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia's eyes lit up and he nodded, "General Zhang's words are reasonable, and they coincide with Guo!"

******************************

At this time, Yuan Shang's army and the Eastern Wu soldiers were still fighting in Guangling. Both sides had their own victory and defeat, and they were in a stalemate and were injured. Only Guo Jia and his army were in Xia Pi, watching the tiger's fight, which was very free, but both sides had no choice but to deal with him.

It was at this time that Chen Deng from Xia Pi offered a superstition to Yuan Shang, saying that Guo Jia had relapsed his old illness and was unable to manage the affairs of the bed. He had no owner in the city. Chen Deng was willing to offer the city to Yuan Shang for shelter.

But until now, only a few of the highest generals in the army and Yuan Shang himself knew about Chen Deng's secretly surrender to Yuan Shang. The rest of the soldiers were hidden in the dark. When they saw this letter, they each had their own opinions.

Some generals said that this was Guo Jia's strategy and it was not credible, while others believed that Guo Jia was weak and knew from the world. Now he has come to Xuzhou again. He is worried about fatigue and is not adaptable to the local conditions. It is reasonable to have an illness. Chen Deng, Guangling, has always been a tyrant. Seeing that Yuan's army is in great power, it is reasonable to surrender.

The two sides who had their own opinions were quarreling and almost all could fight in the coach's tent. Yuan Shang didn't say anything, but let the two sides argue with each other, and then he said that he needed to think about it. Everyone should go out for the time being, but only left behind a senior general who knew the inside story.

After everyone went out, the generals who knew the inside story began to discuss in detail.

As the master of the battlefield in Xuzhou at this moment, Zhang Ji hurriedly said: "Lord, what does this surrender letter sent by Chen Deng mean? Is it a plan? Or is Guo Jia really seriously ill?"

Yuan Shang pondered for a while before laughing: "It's a plan. This battle was made by Chen Deng in order to gain Guo Jia's trust and eliminate the suspicion of the generals in Xia Pi City. It is a battle that must be fought. To put it bluntly, for us, it is a battle that must be defeated, and we must cooperate with him!"

When all the generals heard this, they were speechless. They cooperated with Chen Deng to fight a defeat. No matter who listened, everyone would feel uncomfortable.

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "Everyone doesn't have to be discouraged. There is no way. Guo Jia is a genius in the world. If he doesn't do enough tricks, how can he easily take the bait? To deal with extraordinary people, he must use extraordinary tricks. This is also a layout for the final victory. Don't be tempted."

Zhang He bowed and said, "The lord's meaning is, we can understand. But I want to ask the lord, what will happen to the Eastern Wu side once we take action on Xia Pi?"

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "I don't know. I just know that according to Chen Deng's wisdom, while giving us a letter of surrender, we should also have some countermeasures against the Eastern Wu. We just do our best and cooperate with him in this battle. The rest is not within our thinking scope... Zhang Ji immediately sent someone to reply to Chen Deng, saying that this general accepted his surrender. General Jun Yi immediately prepared his troops and marched towards Xia Pi according to the time and instructions agreed in Chen Deng's letter of surrender!"

"promise!"

*********************

As Yuan Shang expected, after Chen Deng gave Yuan Shang his side a letter of false surrender, he did make quick measures against the Eastern Wu side. However, he did not send a letter of false surrender to the Eastern Wu, but he just sent people to point directly to the eastern part of Guangling and Danyang and made large-scale recruitment measures. It was closer to the Dazhai of the Eastern Wu, and the situation and could be easily detected by the scouts of the Eastern Wu.

Sure enough, the troops and horses of the southeastern county of Xuzhou were quickly transferred from the scout to the Wu army's tent. Sun Quan realized that something was wrong and hurriedly summoned Zhou Yu and others to discuss.

After careful consideration, Zhou Yu immediately said to Sun Quan: "Wu Hou, in terms of the current movements of Cao's army's troops, I guess there are only two possibilities. One is that Guo Jia wants to gather troops and go out to Xia Pi to fight to the death with us and Yuan Shang. The other is that there are huge changes in Xia Pi City, and there are changes in the city, so he dispatched elite soldiers around him to protect him."

When Sun Quan heard this, he hurriedly said, "With Gongjin's opinion, which of these two possibilities is greater?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Cao's current main combat power is in Zhongzhou to fight against Yuan's army, and he is still at a disadvantage. Xuzhou's troops and power are not as strong as Yuan Shang. If Guo Jia wants to survive, he can only defend himself and protect himself. The possibility of a decisive battle is not very high unless he goes crazy."

When Sun Quan heard this, he nodded and said, "This statement makes sense, Gongjin, what should we do in this current situation?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said with a smile: "There has been a change in Xia Pi City. Yuan Jun must be far more eye-catching than us. I heard that Yuan Jun’s spies are everywhere. Let’s see how Yuan Shang does it. It’s not too late for us to make a decision!"

…………

Not long after, the scout from the Eastern Wu brought back the news that Yuan Shang turned his troops to the left and headed straight for Xia Pi City.

After Zhou Yu found out, he sneered and said, "It seems that Xia Pi City has indeed changed. Yuan Shang is going to take the opportunity to seize the city! We cannot give him a chance, but we must take this opportunity to collect profits. Wu Hou can give me a strong army. Yu is willing to lead the army for Wu Hou, expel Yuan Shang and conquer Xia Pi!"

"Okay, Gongjin, I believe you!"

……………………

Not long after, Yuan's army's troops arrived at the territory of Xia Pi, and the troops were displayed not far from the Si River outside Xia Pi City, waiting for news from Chen Deng.

Sure enough, not long after the Yuan army arrived, Chen Deng sent a message, asking Yuan Shang to lead his troops to Xiapi City two days later, and raise a fire in the city. Chen Deng opened the city gate and welcomed Yuan’s army into the city!

It was at this time that a side army led by Zhou Yu secretly lurked near the border of Xia Pi. They did not dare to go too far, for fear of arousing suspicion between the Yuan army and the Cao army of Xia Pi.

At midnight that Chen Deng agreed, Yuan's army finally took action, and the Eastern Wu army began to march because they heard about Yuan Shang's movements.
