Chapter 359

Chen Gui and Chen Deng were rare wise men in Xuzhou.

At this moment, among the three giants of Xuzhou in the conference hall, Chen Deng's thinking was undoubtedly the most active.

Under the doubts of Tao Shang, Cao Bao, and Mi Zhu, Chen Deng smiled slightly:

"My lord, do you think you can block heroes like Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu in troubled times?"

Tao Shang shook his head fiercely.

Let alone Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Even his old father Tao Qian who had passed away.

The difference between Tao Shang and him was like the difference between clouds and mud!

To put it bluntly, the reason Tao Shang can become the master of Xuzhou now is because his surname is Tao and his old father is Tao Qian.

Assuming that for the current Xuzhou aristocratic families, besides Tao Shang, they had other options.

Then they would undoubtedly choose other options instead of choosing Tao Shang!

After seeing Tao Shang's reaction, Chen Deng continued to ask:

"My lord, since this is the case, do you have the confidence to protect my Xuzhou under the fierce attack of Cao Mengde?"

Tao Shang shook his head fiercely again.

Don't talk about protecting Xuzhou.

For the current Tao Shang.

Being able to save his dog's life is already a blessing in misfortune!

"Since this is the case, is my lord willing to go to Chang'an to be a wealthy man?"

Chen Deng still had a smile on his face.

But in his words, there was already a faint hint of coercion toward Tao Shang.

"Yuanlong!"

"Are you planning to surrender completely to Gu Linzhi?"

Mi Zhu and Cao Bao were also shocked by Chen Deng's idea.

What they originally thought was just to find a way to request reinforcements from Gu Yi.

But what Chen Deng is thinking now is to take the entire Xuzhou to surrender to Gu Yi!

"Juyuan, supplies and baggage."

"What kind of character Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu have, the three of us know."

"If my Xuzhou surrenders to Cao Mengde."

"In the future, it will most likely only become his blood transfusion bag!"

"Don't forget how Cao Mengde treated our Xuzhou army and people when he attacked Xuzhou before!"

"Moreover, Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu have long been suffering from dealing with Gu Linzhi."

"A great war will definitely break out between these three forces in the future."

"May I ask, can Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu really defeat Gu Linzhi?"

"At that time, if Cao Mengde is defeated."

"Wouldn't those of us who have taken refuge under Cao Mengde be liquidated again?"

"Since this is the case, it is better to surrender directly to Gu Linzhi!"

"Moreover, as far as I know."

"Forces that actively surrender to Gu Linzhi."

"So far, none have been persecuted after surrendering!"

"If the three of us are still worried."

"Why not choose the direct female descendants of the family to marry Gu Linzhi?"

Chen Deng's words left Mi Zhu and Cao Bao speechless.

Even if they wanted to refute, they couldn't find any reason to refute.

After all.

Just as Chen Deng said.

Surrendering to Cao Cao is not as good as surrendering to Gu Yi.

Since you can take a step to the goal and protect everyone's glory and wealth.

Then why bother to self-imprison and toss around?

For a time, the conference hall fell into silence.

Mi Zhu and Cao Bao quickly analyzed the pros and cons of this matter in their minds.

Finally, after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Mi Zhu and Cao Bao nodded heavily, agreeing with Chen Deng's proposal.

As for Tao Shang sitting in the upper seat.

His opinion is not very important at all.

Moreover.

Chen Deng has already given him a lot of face.

At least he just asked for his opinion.

In fact.

Even if Tao Shang is not willing to surrender to Gu Yi.

As long as the three giants of Xuzhou reach an agreement, this matter can be settled instantly.

However.

Surrender is also a technical job.

Whether it is Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, or Cao Bao.

At this moment, they are all thinking about whether there are young and suitable women in their families who can be sent to Prime Minister Gu.
