The Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Treat the symptoms, cure the root cause.

It must be able to be turned into three words, grab food.I didn't have one, so I went to grab it naturally.As for where to grab it?Chen Sheng thought for a while, and said to Zhou Cang next to him and the guards in the hall: "Go and bring the map."

"promise."

Zhou Cang agreed with the guard, turned around and walked out.Not long after, the two turned back again, this time carrying a screen and walking in.

I saw that the screen was one foot high and one and a half sheets wide. Inside it was neither a painting nor an article, but a map of mountains and rivers, with Wancheng on it, and the surrounding Xiangyang, Runan, Fancheng, Xinye, Xiangjiang, Han Sichuan and other places are marked, but it is a map centered on Wancheng. [

After the screen was moved in, it was placed in front of Chen Sheng.

After seeing the map, Chen Sheng got up and came to the front of the map, looked left and right, looked at it for a long time, and finally showed a little smile.

However, Chen Sheng did not make a decision, but raised his head and shouted at Jia Xu: "Wenhe, I intend to harvest grain elsewhere for military use. Where do you think is better?"

From the time Chen Sheng ordered Zhou Cang to bring the map, Jia Xu knew Chen Sheng's intentions, and had already made calculations, so he smiled and said: "The army is short of food. If you want to take it, it is natural to take the land of abundance. And these four weeks, the land of abundance Apart from Jingzhou, only Runan is left."

"The meaning of Wenhe is the same as mine." Chen Sheng said with a smile.

That's right, after Chen Sheng's observation, he came to the conclusion that he wanted to enter Runan.

Now around Wancheng, besides Cao Cao, is Liu Biao. Cao Cao has neither himself nor food, but Liu Biao can't move for the time being. Therefore, the one Chen Sheng can move is Runan.

Besides, Runan has a lot of grain.

As mentioned above, Runan is divided into three parts, one of which is Liu Pi, which occupies thirteen cities.The other is Li Tong, who is a well-known general named after Wenpin in history. He has [-] elite soldiers in eight cities.The remaining twenty or thirty cities are occupied by county magistrates.

Because Runan was Yuan Shao's hometown, the [-] or [-] county magistrates all worshiped Yuan Shao as their masters, and each had some elite soldiers.

Yuan Shao had a great reputation, and the yellow scarf generals such as Liu Pi would not dare to offend them, let alone some Xiao Xiao bandits and bandits, so these [-] or [-] cities have always been in peace with each other.

Peace and security is equal to prosperity and food.No matter how bad it is, it is now before the autumn harvest. If these cities are captured, it happens to be the autumn harvest, and taxes can be collected directly from the autumn harvest.

It's the right time to seize and plunder.This is a palliative.And with more than 20 cities, at least 40 million more people, plus the original people, it should be no problem to make up 40.With [-] people to support [-] to [-] elite soldiers, it is also a matter of making up the numbers.

It is also a permanent cure.A piece of fat, very good.

Originally, Chen Sheng's plan still focused on Xuzhou, and he never thought of capturing twenty or thirty cities in Runan, but now that Liu Biao was out of food, he reminded Chen Sheng.

"As long as I capture these cities, no matter how much you Liu Biao reduces your aid to me, I will still be able to hold on." Thinking, Chen Sheng clapped his hands and smiled.

However, Runan still has Li Tong, who occupies eight cities. This man has only [-] elite soldiers, and his strength is not good, but he is still a famous general, so he should not be underestimated.

This time, more troops were used.

"Wenhe is going to be released soon?" Thinking of this, Chen Sheng suddenly felt a little headache, thinking too much, he simply didn't want to, so he opened his mouth and asked Jia Xudao. [

"The general can lead six thousand elite troops to challenge Li Tong. As long as the general Chen Bing is away, Li Tong must be worried about losing the city and will not interfere. In this way, the two generals Liu Pi and Gong Du can be ordered to attack Runan. Twenty or thirty cities. As long as the cities are in hand, most of the cities in Runan will be under the general's command. The general can lead the Runan county by himself."

Jia Xu replied calmly after hearing the words.

"Oh, Runan Sheriff? That's right." Chen Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he hadn't thought of this yet.As a general of Jianzhong, he is only stationed in Wancheng for the time being. He does not have the official position of governor or governor. Since he occupies Runan, he can be called the governor of Runan, which is also a kind of progress.Good.

However, Chen Sheng was somewhat worried about letting Liu Pi and Gong both attack.These two guys are pretty good at defending the city, but this attack.

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng wondered if he should send Wei Yan and Liao Hua to attack?But if these famous generals are dispatched, what will happen to Wancheng's defense?

Leaving Cao Cao aside, judging from Liu Biao's attitude, I'm afraid he would also like to drive me out of Wancheng.Wenpin and Wang Wei cannot be underestimated.

Thinking about it, Chen Sheng felt his forehead hurt again.

There is still a shortage of manpower under his command.

To be honest, Chen Sheng's luck was not good, otherwise he wouldn't have become Chen Sheng, but directly became Yuan Shao, that would be his luck.

However, today's Chen Sheng seemed to have divine help.

Just when Chen Sheng was worried about the talents of the leading generals Liu Pi and Gong Du, one of the great talents came without warning.

At this moment, outside the gate of the General's Mansion, there is a person walking slowly towards the gate. This person is not good-looking, not tall, and he doesn't have any strange demeanor. .

Not long after, the man stood outside the gate.He glanced at the General's Mansion first, and thought to himself, "It's so dilapidated."

No, Chen Sheng took over the entire power of Zhang Xiu, but gave up the magnificent Jianzhong General's Mansion to his widow and widow's sister-in-law and nephew Zhang Quan.

The mansion he lived in was not outstanding, even a little dilapidated.

"It's not that I'm really frugal, and I want to do great things, but I just want to deceive the world."

Immediately afterwards, the man thought inwardly again.Immediately, the man's eyes lit up again, and he saw that although the mansion was dilapidated, the guards guarding the gate were valiant, high-spirited, and mighty.

Really elite soldiers.

"It seems that most of them want to do big things." The man thought inwardly again.

Immediately, this person's sense of expectation towards Chen Sheng rose by more than one level.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping here?" The man stood there for a long time, then looked back and forth, making the guards feel strange, and couldn't help shouting.

However, the words are still polite, without arrogance and domineering. [

"Running the army is also good." The man said again in his heart.

Thinking about it, the man bowed his fists to the guards, and said with a smile, "I am from this county, surnamed Li and Mingyan. I admire General Jianzhong Chen, and I am here to ask for an audience. I also ask the sergeant to report on my behalf."

The guards in front of Chen Sheng's gate not only had to be mighty, but also had to restrain their arrogance. In addition, they also had the task of reporting on behalf of them.

People like Li Yan are usually notified on their behalf.

And such a person may become an important advisor or general under Chen Sheng's command.How can I be negligent.Therefore, the guard replied without hesitation: "Wait a moment."

After saying a word, the guard immediately turned and entered the mansion.

"The efficiency is also very high." Seeing this, Li Yan praised again.

As Li Yan claimed, he is from this county, that is, Nanyang County.Ben worked as a small official in the county, and he did well, but he was repeatedly mobilized by Liu Biao.

It's a bit of appreciation.But that's it, Liu Biao is notoriously talented but can't be used.Li Yan is really talented, he has been a petty official for several years and he can't bear it anymore.

Hearing that Chen Sheng was famous in Wancheng, he came here especially for his reputation and planned to join him.

At the same time, Li Yan also brought a piece of good news, which would make Chen Sheng feel very bloody.

"I just brought this news, and let me show my extraordinaryness. This general Jianzhong will not treat me with a hundred miles of talent. I can get rid of my life as a small official under Liu Jingzhou's command and try to make contributions. .”

Li Yan thought to himself, looking forward to the future.

"General." After receiving Li Yan's request, the guard also came to the door of the hall immediately.He stopped in front of the hall door and bowed towards the hall.

But at this moment, Chen Sheng was having a headache about who to lead the army.Hearing this, he said impatiently, "What's the matter?"

The general seemed in a bad mood.After hearing Chen Sheng's words, the guard immediately mourned for Li Yan in silence.It's not the right time.

After thinking about it for a while, the guard spoke quickly, and quickly replied: "Report to the general, there is a man outside the door who claims to be Li Yan from this county, asking to see him."

"Li Yan?"

Chen Sheng's voice suddenly raised slightly.At the same time, Chen Sheng's face showed both surprise and joy, it was actually Li Yan.

Chen Sheng was very impressed with this guy.

First of all, this guy is one of the two assistant ministers left by Liu Bei, and the other is Zhuge Liang.Great, right?Even those who hate Liu Bei no longer have to admire Liu Bei's knowledge of people.

This guy rarely misjudged people in his life.Therefore, Li Yan's talent is beyond doubt.

Another point, Li Yan dared to challenge Zhuge Liang, but of course he was defeated in the end.In fact, the evaluation of Li Yan's doing this in history is not very high. It is said that Li Yan's moral conduct is at a disadvantage, and he wants to compete with Zhuge Liang for power and profit, so he challenged Zhuge Liang.

But who can know the truth of history?You know, at that time Zhuge Liang had great power and was a real powerful minister. Li Yan might be a loyal minister, and he was worried when he saw it, so why should he challenge Zhuge Liang?

Anyway, what is going on in history, no one knows.

Therefore, this virtue has a disadvantage, which can be put aside temporarily.The most important thing was Li Yan's talent. Liu Bei believed that this person must have extraordinary abilities to assist Liu Chan together with Zhuge Liang.

Such a person is really rare, and he came just in time.

Am I missing the main generals who will attack the [-] or [-] cities of Runan?Li Yan can definitely take on the heavy responsibility. In other words, the [-] or [-] cities in Runan are within easy reach.

Thinking about it, Chen Sheng wished to see Li Yan immediately.Even, Cao Cao met Xu You barefoot in a play.However, Chen Sheng was calm and didn't do that.

As far as he knows, Li Yan is still a petty official, and his reputation is not obvious.Such sincerity and enthusiasm are confusing.

Thinking about it, Chen Sheng raised his hand and said, "Please come in."

"No." The guard thought that Chen Sheng was in a bad mood and Li Yan came at an untimely time, but he didn't expect this to be the result, and he was taken aback for a moment.But then he reacted, promised, turned and walked out.
