The Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 169 Cai Hao and Cao Cao

"General, what kind of powerful man is this Li Yan?"

Chen Sheng's voice was slightly high, and his eyes were full of surprise, all fell on Zhou Cang. In Jia Xu's eyes, although Jia Xu was strange, he didn't open his mouth, but Zhou Cang asked a little curiously.

"I've heard of this person a little bit. If I use a metaphor, it's the golden sand buried in the sand." Chen Sheng thought about how to explain it, and then said.

"I see."

Zhou Cang's eyes lit up when he heard the words. [

Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Liao Hua, these brave generals were all recruited by Chen Sheng himself.This made Zhou Cang and others think that Chen Sheng has a sense of people.

And now this Li Yan.

It seems to be a talent too.As for a loyal minister like Zhou Cang, nothing makes him happier than the abundance of talents under Chen Sheng's command.

"Li Yan?" Although Jia Xu didn't speak, her ears were still listening, and she remembered this person in her heart.

On the other side, the guard conveyed Chen Sheng's meaning to Li Yan.

"Finally, this is the moment to decide my future." Li Yan was a little excited when he heard that Chen Sheng was willing to see him.

Immediately, Li Yan, led by the guards, came outside the hall.

"Nanyang Li Yan, please see General Jianzhong." Li Yan asked to see him again outside the hall.

"Come in." Chen Sheng's voice sounded.

"Thank you, General Jianzhong." Li Yan thanked him, then lifted his skirt and stepped into the hall.Li Yan was also courageous. After entering the hall, he immediately raised his head and glanced at Chen Sheng.

Immediately, I secretly praised it in my heart.

So mighty.

No, Chen Sheng is tall and straight, full of heroism, really mighty.

"General." After glancing at Chen Sheng, Li Yan bowed down.

"Excuse me, sit down." Chen Sheng raised his hand and said, in fact, Chen Sheng was also looking at Li Yan, and ignored Li Yan's ugly appearance, but he paid much attention to Li Yan's capable aura.

This guy should be very capable.

Chen Sheng thought in his heart.

"Thank you, General." Li Yan thanked him again, then knelt and sat on the right side of Chen Sheng, opposite to Jia Xu.

"Is this guy a talent?" Zhou Cang glanced at Li Yan curiously, but couldn't see anything. [

"Mr. came here for a special visit. It must not be as simple as a visit. But what can I teach you?" After sitting down, I can't just say Aiqing directly, you can be my general.There must be a process, so Chen Sheng asked with a smile.

"I heard that Liu Jingzhou's grain supply to the general has been halved, and I got another great news, so I came here to ask the general." Li Yan came prepared and replied calmly.

"Oh, what news?" Chen Sheng was a little surprised when he heard the words. He thought that Li Yan had simply defected here, but it seemed that there was something insider.

"Cai Mao made a deal with Cao Cao, and the deal is [-] shi of grain." Li Yan said surprisingly.

"Fifty thousand shi of grain?" Suddenly, Chen Sheng's eyes widened.Isn't it time to be restrained by Liu Biao?Food is a very scarce thing, and now it is delivered to your door.

Fifty thousand shi of grain, this is enough to feed an army of ten thousand for a year!

Moreover, this is still Cai Mao's food, not cut for nothing.

"Isn't Cai Hao the military advisor of Jingzhou? He actually made a deal with Cao Cao and supplied Cao Cao with food?" Zhou Cang blurted out, his whole body shocked when he heard the words.

Without waiting for Li Yan to answer this question, Chen Sheng sneered and said, "I heard that Cai Mao and Cao Cao were very close when they were young. Cai Mao is a man who is only interested in profit, so it's nothing to make a deal with Cao Cao. It’s no surprise that Sun Ce made friends.”

Cao Cao and Liu Biao still maintain a superficial relationship, while Sun Ce and Liu Biao are revenge for killing their father.Chen Sheng used this as a metaphor to show Cai Mao's despicable character.

Immediately, Zhou Cang was even more surprised. Such a person can actually be the military advisor of the Great General of Zhennan and an important minister of Jingzhou. Liu Biao is also stupid.

However, the next moment Zhou Cang also felt delighted, Liu Biao employed such people, no wonder the general said that this Jingzhou is easy to attack.

"What the general said is right, Cai Mao is nepotism and only seeks profit, but he can do anything." Li Yan also sneered and said.

Then, Li Yan clasped his fists at Chen Sheng and said, "Cai Mao made a deal with Cao Cao, but he didn't dare to be aboveboard. Therefore, this batch of grain is very secret. Even if the general seized it, Cai Mao could only knock out his teeth and put it in his stomach." Li Tun never dared to tell Liu Biao. This so-called God-given food, please send troops to the general.”

"When did you pass by Nanyang?" Chen Sheng asked decisively after hearing the words.

"Probably tomorrow. This batch of food is too large. Cai Mao divided it into three large caravans, ostensibly to transport cloth, wine, and other special products."

Li Yan said.

"Okay." Chen Sheng nodded when he heard the words.Then he ordered Zhou Cang to say, "Here's an order to send General Liao Hua to send troops to arrange the arrangement. I'll take the [-] shi of grain."

"Promise." Zhou Cang promised, and went down to deliver the order.

"This news from Mr. has solved my urgent need." After dismissing Zhou Cang, Chen Sheng turned around and said something solemnly to Li Yan.Then, he asked again: "I don't know if you can ask for anything, sir? It doesn't matter whether it is gold, silver, or farmland, as long as it is not excessive."

Would Chen Sheng think that Li Yan came so far and brought such important news, just to ask for help?

Of course Chen Sheng didn't think so. [

Chen Sheng still guessed that Li Yan came to defect.And Chen Sheng himself wanted to accept Li Yan.But as the saying goes, everything has a beginning.

Therefore, Chen Sheng deliberately asked Li Yan's ambition by asking for fields and houses.

And Li Yan also heard what Chen Sheng meant, and he was overjoyed.On the surface, he replied solemnly: "Although my family is not rich, it can be regarded as a well-off family. For gold and silver, fields and houses, don't ask for anything. Only when you are young, you can still achieve everything. I am very worried. Therefore, I want to seek a position under the command of the general."

"With Mr.'s great achievements today, it's nothing to seek a position. However, I don't support idlers under my command." Chen Sheng said deliberately, and then Chen Sheng deliberately made a thoughtful movement.After a while, I asked Li Yan: "Sir, I also know that I am currently under the control of Liu Jingzhou. I don't know if sir has a good plan?"

Even though Li Yan had a strategy in mind, he felt nervous after hearing the first half of Chen Sheng's words.But after hearing the second half of Chen Sheng's sentence, he put his heart in his stomach again.

Because Li Yan had already thought about this matter and had an answer.Therefore, Li Yan calmly raised his fist and said: "This Yier, it is enough to take the land of Yuan Shao in Runan."

"Hahaha." Chen Sheng laughed.Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing. Similarly, since Li Yan can answer the word Runan, he can also officially appoint Li Yan to enter Runan.

Hearing Chen Sheng's loud laughter, Li Yan immediately knew that there was a note of rebirth from a wealthy family in his future.In my heart, I couldn't help but get excited, the days of being a small official are finally over.

"This gentleman may guess who it is?" After laughing, Chen Sheng pointed at Jia Xu and asked Li Yan with a smile.

"If it's as expected, Mr. Wen He should be in front." Li Yan saluted Jia Xu solemnly upon hearing this.Jia Xu is a well-known counselor and wise man.Even though Li Yan felt that he was talented, he did not dare to neglect Jia Xu.

"You are polite." Jia Xu returned the salute and said.

"Actually, it's a coincidence that Mr. Wenhe came here. Just now, I discussed with Wenhe how to solve this problem, and I also thought of entering Runan. The troops that can be used are the two generals Liu Pi and Gong Du of Runan. The bravery of the two generals is not bad, but they lack resourcefulness. I am worried that these two generals will not be able to win." Speaking of this, Chen Sheng glanced at Li Yan, and his eyes were full of smiles.

And how could Li Yan fail to sense Chen Sheng's intentions?Immediately, I became excited.

This gives a good job, might as well be reused.Just like this time, Chen Sheng clearly wants to take Runan, but he lacks a general. If he can get this opportunity and make military exploits, then becoming a leading general will be nailed to the iron plate.

Li Yan felt very satisfied from being an official to a general.

"Do you have a detailed plan?" Seeing Li Yan's happy expression, Chen Sheng asked with a smile on his face knowing that Li Yan understood what he meant.

"Please think about it next time." Li Yan didn't agree immediately, but asked instead.

"Okay." Chen Sheng naturally gave Li Yan time, and nodded in response.

Not long after, Li Yan thought about it thoroughly, and told Chen Sheng his plan.The plan is very detailed, from attack to defense, and how to defend against Cao Cao's general Li Tong.

After Chen Sheng heard it, he thought it was perfect.Therefore, Chen Sheng glanced at Jia Xu with a smile, and Jia Xu nodded without any trace.

After Li Yan finished speaking, he also stared at Chen Sheng closely. Seeing Chen Sheng and Jia Xu looked at each other, he immediately knew that it was coming, and became a little nervous again.

Even Li Yan was nervous several times today.No way, it's about the future.

"After talking for so long, I still don't know Mr.'s name." Chen Sheng asked with a smile.

"Reporting to the general, the next word is correct." Li Yan replied respectfully.

"Square? There are big festivals and good words inside." Chen Sheng praised it.After a while, Chen Sheng said with a smile: "I am going to gather a thousand elite soldiers to go to Runan to join Liu Pi and Gong Du's conquest of Runan, but there is a lack of a leading general. Are you willing?"

"I am willing to serve the general as a dog and horse." What else could Li Yan say?Since then, I bowed my head.

"Okay, after I write the warrant and send guards to lead Zhengfang to General Hu Che'er, he will give Zhengfang a thousand elite soldiers, related supplies, and food." Chen Sheng also achieved his goal, and he smiled happily.

"Promise." Li Yan promised.

Immediately, Chen Sheng wrote the warrant, ordered the guards, and took Li Yan down.

In addition, in order to make Li Yan have prestige, Chen Sheng sent a letter to Liu Pi, saying that Li Yan was resourceful and listened to everything.To put it mildly, Li Yan is the main attack this time.

After doing all this, Chen Sheng was completely refreshed.

There is a candidate for attacking Runan, and if Runan is in hand, there is no need to be pinched by Liu Biao.On the other side, the deal between Cai Mao and Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng felt even happier.

Cai Mao, Cao Cao, food.
