Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 390 Chen Deng: Send Qin Yilu to deliver food and grass to Yuan Shu
After hearing what Chen Gui said, Chen Deng nodded and said, "I'll go find him later."

"He has been in Xia Pi recently and doesn't know about the massacre in Guangling."

"If he knew this, I believe he would go find Cao Cao."

"Only by taking Xuzhou can we better seek revenge on Sun Ce."

Chen Deng's face was filled with murderous intent as he said, "Not only do we want to avenge Sun Ce, we also want to avenge the Zhou family."

"As a family of two generations and three dukes, they colluded with the ruffian Sun Ce and slaughtered the people at will."

"The Zhou family is no different from Yuan Shu. No wonder they are in collusion with each other."

Zhang Sui heard Chen Deng say this and agreed, "Whether it's Sun Ce or the Zhou family, they'll have to take stock in the end."

After taking Xuzhou, he will definitely fight for Huainan.

The Zhou family is a top-notch aristocratic family with three generations of officials living in Lujiang. Keeping them will definitely be disadvantageous to the governance of Huainan.

Aristocratic families, especially those that are too large, should not exist.

Although he still liked Zhou Yu very much before he traveled through time.

However, if it really comes to that, even facing Zhou Yu, he will raise the butcher knife without hesitation!

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

Under his governance, there must not be any aristocratic families that are too powerful and beyond his control.

Zhang Sui discussed the specific details with Chen Gui, Chen Deng and Guo Jia.

Chen Gui and his son Chen Deng, with Chen Deng in charge of the arrangements.

Here, Zhang Sui asked Guo Jia to be responsible for the specific content, while he was responsible for stamping it.

After a busy year in Zhongshan County, Zhang Sui learned one thing profoundly: be a hands-off manager.

If you try to handle all kinds of matters, big or small, you will easily become exhausted.

Just like Zhuge Liang in history, he died of exhaustion in the end.

As a future local lord, Zhang Sui began to learn to let go and focus on the key points after settling in Zhongshan County.

On the one hand, he can feel more relaxed by handing over the matters to his subordinates.

On the other hand, he is involved in everything, which restricts the people under him.

Also, there is no opportunity to exercise.

Without the opportunity to exercise, it is difficult to grow.

People need exercise to grow gradually.

As a local lord, as long as you grasp the overall trend and don't make mistakes, there won't be any big problems.

Since becoming a small governor, Zhang Sui has become more and more aware of his responsibilities as a manager.

Managers are like parents of a family.

Being too controlling is not only bad for the family, but also for the children.

Sometimes, we have to learn the thinking of Zheng Banqiao from the Qing Dynasty: It is rare to be confused.

Afterwards, Zhang Suicai took Guo Jia to bid farewell to Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son.

Zhang Sui prepared a room for Guo Jia next to his own.

He also forbade Guo Jia to call him "benefactor" anymore, and only allowed Guo Jia to call him "Bocheng".

Guo Jia is much older than him.

Guo Jia was not a shy person and accepted Zhang Sui's order generously.

In the evening, Guo Jia listed all the strategies for Lu Bu proposed by Chen Gui and Chen Deng today, and wrote a letter to Tian Feng, asking Tian Feng to make preparations in two aspects.

On the one hand, he prepared to cooperate with Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, to force Lu Bu, who was about to rush to Pei County, to lead his army back to Xia Pi and prepare to besiege Lu Bu in Xia Pi.

On the other hand, he sent three thousand elite troops to lurk on the road from Xiaopei to Shouchun to prevent Chen Gong from escaping to Shouchun with the three thousand elite troops.

Zhang Sui checked it and found basically no problems.

After Zhang Sui stamped the letter, he asked Guo Jia to find Chen's servants and deliver the letter to Tian Feng.

Early the next morning, Guo Jia was still sleeping soundly.

Zhang Sui put on his clothes and followed Chen Deng to the government office.

Chen Deng attended the morning meeting.

Zhang Sui stood outside the hall as a boy.

At the morning meeting, Chen Deng proposed to send another envoy with a large amount of food and fodder to find Yuan Shu and discuss the marriage according to the plan made yesterday.

Chen Deng's words not only confused Lu Bu, but Chen Gong also had some doubts.

It was the scroll given by Chen Deng yesterday that caused Lu Bu to encircle and destroy Yuan Shu's envoy team. Now, Chen Deng suddenly changed his mind and persuaded to send envoys to renegotiate the marriage. What was going on?

However, Lu Bu did not discuss this matter further at the morning meeting.

Now Chen Gong and Chen Deng are at loggerheads.

If we discuss this at the morning meeting, there is a high probability that an argument will break out.

Lu Bu didn't want to offend either Chen Deng or Chen Gong.

On the one hand, both of them are from prominent families.

On the other hand, both of them are much smarter than me.

Lu Bu was also somewhat afraid of the two men, fearing that he would be killed by them.

After the morning meeting, Lu Bu took Chen Deng and Zhang Sui to the backyard of his residence, and then asked Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, what do you think?"

"It was you who showed me Yuan Shu's secret letter yesterday, and today you proposed another marriage alliance with Yuan Shu!"

Chen Deng saluted Lu Bu and said seriously: "General, there is no contradiction here."

"Whether I handed over the secret letter Yuan Shu wrote to my father yesterday or proposed to continue the marriage alliance with Yuan Shu today, I have only one goal."

"That is, in order to repay the general's respect for me, I will do my best to consider the general."

"The general thinks highly of me and my father, how dare I not think of repaying him?"

"Now, no one can diminish my gratitude to the general."

"So, even if Yuan Shu contacts my father, I will definitely bring it up."

"But, I went back and thought about it yesterday."

"Although Gongtai and I don't get along, what he said does make sense."

"Yuan Shu wrote a letter to my father, there is no time."

"The most likely possibility is that he wrote it to my father a long time ago."

"Then something unexpected happened, and it took a long time before it was delivered to my father."

"This secret letter is from the past, not now."

“We have to learn how to go with the flow.”

"Now we are threatened by the army of Jizhou Mu's son-in-law."

"The army of Jizhou Mu's son-in-law easily defeated Langya County's Zang Ba. They are strong and have many people. They are far better than Yuan Shang before."

"Our situation is critical, and we may not be able to handle it."

"The best way is to ask Yuan Shu next door to help send troops."

"Even though Yuan Shu often covets our Xuzhou, I believe he will not do anything stupid at such a critical moment."

Zhang Sui was standing not far away, and when he heard Chen Deng say this, he secretly rolled his eyes.

One of the strongest traitors during the Three Kingdoms period——

Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son.

It sounds very high-sounding.

In fact, they are all bad intentions.

Fortunately, they were on their side this time.

Otherwise, once he captured Xuzhou, the first family to be attacked would be the Chen family of Xia Pi.

Lu Bu looked at Chen Deng quietly.

He wanted to get a clue from Chen Deng's expression.

However, after looking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

Lu Bu could only ask, "Who do you think is more suitable to send, Yuanlong?"

Chen Deng hesitated for a moment and said, "We can send Captain Qin Yilu over."

"It would be best if we could bring one thousand of his own troops with us."

"There's no need to bring gold, silver or jewelry. Yuan Shu doesn't need them."

"Last year there was a severe drought and the grain yield in Huainan was poor, but Yuan Shu was in need of food and fodder."

"We can ask Captain Qin Yilu to bring 30,000 hu of grain."

"In order to support the general, my Chen family is willing to donate 10,000 bushels of grain and grass."

"This amount of food is enough to make up for the mistake the general made yesterday."
