Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 269 Liu Peng
Xu Zhi's words made Chen Dao frown, "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Zhi smiled lightly, "Captain, if you say that your subordinates are too good, and you have too much trust in him, what do you think will happen?"

Hearing Xu Zhi's words, Chen Dao stood up, put his hands behind his back, and went outside the cabin, looking at the dark water outside, thinking deeply.

"You mean, Zhao Yun has always performed perfectly in the army, without a single defeat in battle, and he behaved very obediently in front of the lord, and the personnel in the army are also excellent, if one day in the future he commits a crime What's wrong, maybe even the lord can't do anything about him, right? To put it simply, Zhao Yunwei is the master." He understood Xu Zhi's meaning and said.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, that's what I mean."

"Then Mr. Xu, what do you think I should do?" Chen Dao said calmly.

Now after a defeat, he has had a great impact on his status in Liu Bei's heart, and he must regain Liu Bei's trust.

"Don't worry, Dudu. The reason why Zhao Yun is able to achieve today is completely accumulated little by little. The same is true for Dudu. Some things still need to be done slowly."

Hearing Xu Zhi's words, Chen Dao took a deep breath. Although he also knew that he should take it slowly and step by step, he also knew more clearly that now that Zhao Yun is not in the army, it is a great opportunity to develop his own power. After a while, Zhao Yun will come back He didn't have such good conditions, so he just wanted to take his time, but the situation didn't allow it.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei called all the soldiers under his command to discuss matters, and of course Chen Dao, who is the governor, was also among them.

"Everyone, the officers and men in the army have been concerned about the war against Jingzhou City these days. Next, let our governor analyze the current situation for us." Liu Bei looked at Chen Dao and said with a smile on his face.

Hearing these words, Chen Dao's face softened a lot. From Liu Bei's words, he could tell that Liu Bei still had a lot of hopes for him, but the reason why he asked himself to talk about Jingzhou was to see his own ability. Is it possible to make up for Liu Bei's disappointment about what happened yesterday?

In fact, Liu Bei was also very helpless in his heart. If he didn't think Zhao Yun had a problem and couldn't trust him anymore, he wouldn't have chosen Chen Dao.

In any case, Zhao Yun has followed him for many years, and he knows what kind of talents he has in his heart. Qian Caihua can't be trusted too early, otherwise Liu Bei will be the one who suffers.

"My lord, let me be a colleague. Although Jingzhou City is currently defended by only [-] enemy troops, and there is no general in command of the army to defend the city, it will not be easy for us to take Jingzhou City even so."

"Our army is good at horse station and land warfare. Siege of cities is our strength. As for water warfare, it has always been our shortcoming, and it is very difficult to make up for this shortcoming."

"After more than half a month of training, I originally thought that our water army had formed combat effectiveness, so I took people out last night to try our water army's combat effectiveness, but we still failed, so I want to successfully win Jingzhou City, we still have to work hard."

Chen Dao deliberately made the situation in Jingzhou City a little bit more difficult, and also found a good excuse for his failure last night, making everyone think that the reason for his defeat was for the development of his navy, for this Well, he, the governor, is also in a desperate situation. As expected, he has received many admiring eyes.

Even Liu Bei nodded and looked at Chen Dao with a softer gaze.

"Then the governor thinks, how long will it take for our navy to form the same fighting power as theirs?" Liu Bei asked.

"Actually, don't be too imprisoned. In fact, we still have an advantage. Our soldiers are used to fighting on land, so in comparison, our soldiers' physical fitness is much better than the opponent's. What's more, we are now occupying Jingzhou City. It is the Cao Army, and the main force of the Cao Army is land warfare just like ours, so most of the naval forces in Jingzhou City are from the original Jingzhou City who surrendered to the Cao Army, and we can definitely work hard on this aspect."

Chen Dao stood in front of the map that was taller than a person and pointed at the Jingzhou area above, and talked about it, and everyone below nodded in succession.

"Actually, there is another point. It is said that Cao Cao has no guarding generals in Jingzhou City today, but only a group of humble lieutenants. But what everyone doesn't know is that there is also a character among these lieutenants, which is Liu Peng."

"Liu Peng? Who is that?" Liu Bei was also surprised to hear this strange name.

"This man named Liu Peng is an inconspicuous lieutenant under Cao Ren's account. It should be said that he is the lieutenant's lieutenant. His status in Cao's army is only slightly better than that of ordinary soldiers. But what he has Talent is not weaker than any of Cao Cao's favorite generals."

"It's a pity that the general Liu Peng is following is narrow-minded. He has been worried that Liu Peng's talent will be exposed and will take his place, so he has been suppressing him. talent but can’t use it.”

"This time Cao Ren left [-] defenders in Jingzhou, and this Liu Peng was one of them, and the official position was also mentioned as a lieutenant general. Of course, it was this Liu Peng who caused me to be defeated last night." Chen Dao called this Luo Peng's personal situation was briefly explained.

In fact, after returning from a big defeat last night, he sent people overnight to investigate the general situation of the opponent's general.

"It's really unexpected that there are such talents among Cao Jun, if they can be used by me." Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Bei's words made Chen Dao frown slightly, a little annoyed by Liu Bei's attitude.

Liu Bei is like this, seeing someone is like wooing, seeing someone who has talent, he wants to use it for himself, that was the case with himself back then, and it is the same with Liu Peng now.

He even doubted whether Liu Bei would take his place if someone more capable than himself appeared one day, and whether he would end up in the same fate as Zhao Yun.

He was thinking about these things in his heart, but he couldn't help showing his coldness on his face.

"Yes, if we can win Liu Peng, it will indeed be a great help for us. Moreover, he is not valued and cannot stand out among Cao Jun. It can be seen that he is very aggrieved in Cao Jun. If we can express enough Sincerity, I believe he will definitely join us." Chen Dao made suggestions for Liu Bei with a sincere look.
