The Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

No matter which side it is, it is impossible to let everyone revolve around itself according to its own will.Chen Sheng wanted to stop Liu Biao's affairs first, planning to take over Lu Bu's influence.

Liu Biao is also sitting in Xiangyang, not only to increase his own power, but also to further weaken it, and even control Chen Sheng.

These things are still conspired by the two sides at present, and outsiders don't know about them.

At least, at the current stage, the forces in Jingzhou and Wancheng are still in harmony.It can even be regarded as the honeymoon period, after all, they defeated Cao Cao together.

However, where there is conspiracy, there will be action.Exposure is only a matter of time, just wait for the other party to show his minions. [

Two months, two months have passed since Cao Cao's defeat.During this period, the city walls of Wancheng were repaired, even repaired, heightened and reinforced.

This makes Wancheng a frontier of Jingzhou and the most important city.

On the other hand, Jia Xu and the generals also did a very good job of paying for the dead and wounded soldiers and rewarding Cao's troops for surrendering what Chen Sheng explained.

Because of the generous pensions, whether it is the wounded soldiers or the family members of the dead soldiers, they all received heavy pensions, which further increased Chen Sheng's prestige among the soldiers of the old army.

With Chen Sheng, Wei Yan, Zhao Yun, Hu Che'er, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and Fang Gu as the core forces, the army has further consolidated.

Everyone is defending the existence of Wancheng, a faction.

The generous rewards for Cao Jun's surrender, even unreasonable rewards, further won over Cao Jun's surrender.

In the army and soldiers of this era, it is better to be loyal to a general than to be loyal to a power.After all, everyone is the army of the Han Dynasty in name. For ordinary soldiers, as long as they have a bite to eat and can eat enough, their allegiance is the same to anyone.

The key is to look at the level of pensions of the generals. Raising soldiers, like brothers, like father and son, these are the means by which generals win over soldiers.

Because of the love of the generals, the soldiers are willing to serve the generals.And the generals also won military merits because of the soldiers' service, and made further contributions.

This creates a common interest.Therefore, the famous generals of this era are generally very capable of raising soldiers.

However, Chen Sheng generously rewarded them and ordered Wei Yan and others to spread their kindness and win over the army.For ordinary Cao soldiers, staying in Wancheng seems to be better than staying in the Central Plains.

At least, their assets have also increased.Therefore, there were very few soldiers who fled.

It can be said that in the past two months, Chen Sheng not only strengthened the city wall, but also attracted soldiers, which not only increased the defensive power, but also increased the offensive ability.

Now, the Nanyang Wancheng forces, together with Zhao Yun's army, have a total of nearly [-] troops, and their momentum is very strong.

Therefore, during this period of time, Chen Sheng was in a very good mood.Planning all day, in Cao Cao's war against Lu Bu, to seek the power of Lu Bu, so as to strengthen himself.

Just like today, Chen Sheng specially summoned Jia Xu in the hall to discuss this matter with Jia Xu.

In the hall, Chen Shenggao sat in the upper seat, Zhou Cang, who was like an iron tower, stood by his side, and Jia Xu sat quietly on his knees below.

"Wenhe, I want to make friends with Yuan Shu. Do you have a candidate for an envoy?" Chen Sheng humbly asked Jia Xu for advice. [

Yuan Shu.

This is another important part of Chen Sheng's acceptance of Lu Bu's power, because if Chen Sheng wants to send troops to Xuzhou, he has to start from Runan first, and then pass through Jiujiang County, which is Yuan Shu's current territory, before reaching Xuzhou.

Without Yuan Shu's support, Chen Sheng's troops would not be able to reach Xuzhou, let alone rescue Lu Bu.

Jia Xu didn't know Chen Sheng's specific plan yet, but when she heard the name Yuan Shu, she vaguely sniffed it out.However, Jia Xu was a bit worried about Chen Sheng's befriending Yuan Shu, and couldn't help saying, "Then Yuan Shu steals the title of emperor and is scolded by the world. If the general befriends Yuan Shu, it may affect his reputation."

Chen Sheng said with a sneer: "In today's world, the Han Dynasty is dilapidated, resulting in countless heroes across states and counties. Han thieves like Cao Cao have also become the chief ministers of the Han Dynasty. Let alone others. Everyone I'm an ambitious man, and it's better if I don't sleep. Of course I understand who Yuan Shu is, but I'm not afraid to make friends with him. Besides, I inherit the influence of my brother Zhang Xiu and belong to the Xiliang family. In the whole world, people from Xiliang His reputation may not be better than Yuan Shu's."

What Chen Sheng said made Jia Xu retort. He is also from Xiliang, and he knows that after Dong Zhuo, Li, and Guo's reckless actions, Xiliang people have become synonymous with rebelliousness.

"Chang Shi Fang Gu can go." After Jia Xu was silent for a while, he said the name Fang Gu.

"Fang Gu." Chen Sheng frowned when he heard the words. Fang Gu, the commander of the battalion, was in charge of the [-] elite soldiers directly under him, but he was in charge of sending an envoy?

This made Chen Sheng a little awkward.

However, since Jia Xu had mentioned Fang Gu, there might not be any other good candidates.This made Chen Sheng a little discouraged. The power of Wancheng's generation, through his elites, has a lot of strong generals, but there are few civil servants.

At the critical moment, there was not even a missionary.

"Forget it, it's just him." After being discouraged for a moment, Chen Shengli waved his hand and finally decided on the candidate.

"Yuan Fu, send someone to invite Chang Shi Fang Gu to come in." After making a decision, Chen Sheng ordered Zhou Cang to say.

"promise."

Zhou Cang promised, and went down to work.

Not long after, Chang Shi Fang Gu walked in.Fang Gu was not as worried as Jia Xu was about Chen Sheng's request for him to go to Yuan Shu as an envoy, but readily agreed.

And went to the warehouse to pick up the luggage as a gift, and went to Jiujiang Shouchun.

"Phew." Finally one thing was settled, Chen Sheng let out a long breath, and felt a little more relaxed.However, Chen Sheng quickly remembered something else.

"Arrange a large number of spies to inquire about the situation in the Central Plains, especially the situation that Cao Cao may send troops to attack Lu Bu. Then send people to Xuzhou to inquire about the relationship between Lu Bu and Liu Bei."

Chen Sheng ordered Jia Xu to say.

Now that he thought of joining Yuan Shu, the next thing was to wait.And the news is not something that can be waited for, it has to be taken the initiative.

"promise."[

Speaking of this, Jia Xu has fully understood Chen Sheng's intentions.This time, do you want to unite with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to counter Cao Cao?

Jia Xu thought in his heart, even if he was as intelligent as Jia Xu, he would never have imagined that Chen Sheng didn't want Xuzhou out of his imagination, but only wanted to accept Lu Bu and the forces under his command.

Not to mention uniting Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to counter Cao Cao.

For Chen Sheng, it was all fat, big and small.Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are all the same.

After the discussion reached this point, what Chen Sheng wanted to explain was almost over.Next, wait for Cao Cao to send troops to Xuzhou.

However, at this moment, something happened.

"General, Xiangyang has arranged for carts and horses to deliver food, and the luggage is here. The list of details for the first step has arrived." A guard walked in, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

"Oh." Chen Sheng was a little surprised when he heard this, but then calmed down again.Because Chen Sheng knew that Liu Biao's forces had always provided assistance to Wancheng, and each assistance was twice a year during spring plowing and before autumn harvest, so as to control Wancheng.

And this time, it should be the first time after he succeeded to the throne.

Because it was the first time, Chen Sheng didn't understand the situation, so he had to find someone familiar to see if there was any change.So Chen Sheng thought for a while, and said to the guard, "Pass the roster to Mr. Jia."

"promise."

The guard promised, and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu also agreed, and stretched out his hand to finish the bamboo slips.Immediately, he quickly unfolded the bamboo slips and read them one by one.Suddenly, Jia Xu frowned slightly.

"But what happened?" Jia Xu seldom showed facial expressions, so Chen Sheng caught his eyebrows a little, and Chen Sheng couldn't help asking.

"Weapons, bows, arrows, leather armor, and even armor have increased the load." Jia Xu said, it was obviously a good thing, but Jia Xu's expression told Chen Sheng that this was not a good thing.

"Food?" Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"Halved." Jia Xu let out a little breath and said.

"Halved?"

Zhou Cang, as well as the guard who brought in the bamboo slips, couldn't help but gasped.How can the food be halved? Under Zhang Xiu's command, Wancheng's power is only [-] elite soldiers, and the food given by Liu Biao is no longer enough.

Now there are as many as [-] elite soldiers in Wancheng. If this is halved, wouldn't it be fatal?

"Only the four of us know about this matter, and no one is allowed to speak out. If you let me know who leaked the news, kill me." Chen Sheng's face suddenly darkened, and he said with a murderous look.

"promise."

Everyone quickly agreed.

After issuing this order, Chen Sheng showed a smile again, and said: "This reduction of my food reinforcements, Liu Biao's implication, is to let me disarm the army. As the saying goes, it is like this. Although Said, I am not a good person, I may not be willing to work for Liu Biao. But I am always a little unhappy."

Now in Chen Sheng's heart, there are only four words, a little uncomfortable.

As Chen Sheng said, the one who is upset is not Liu Biao's killing of donkeys. After all, he is not a good person, so there is no reason to blame him.

What Chen Sheng was upset about was that the grain was being held back. Now that Liu Biao's attitude had become clear, let him disarm, or he would bear the consequences.

This kind of situation is like putting a shackle around Chen Sheng's neck. It's no wonder Chen Sheng is so forthright.

What's more, Chen Sheng is actively making progress, and Liu Biao's current situation is a big blow.

But now there are only two paths before Chen Sheng, the first is to find a solution.The second is to cut down the army according to Liu Biao's intention.

Of course, Chen Sheng would not go with this one.

Then there is only another way to find a solution.

How to solve it?

There are two ways, where to find ready-made food and solve the urgent task, which is a temporary solution.Occupying more cities and more land is the root cause.

How to go?

Chen Sheng pondered. (To be continued. Please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
