The Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 174 General Jianzhong, Governor of Runan County

After all, Runan County is adjacent to Nanyang County, so Chen Sheng did not need to prepare in advance to send troops. He ordered at night and could march the next day.

Therefore, after Chen Sheng led the army out of Wancheng, it soon reached the border of Runan.And headed towards the city where Li Tong was.

Li Tong occupied eight cities, so he naturally divided the priority.His seat is a place called Mausoleum.

After entering Runan, Chen Sheng ordered to speed up, crossed many cities, and quickly arrived at Mausoleum City.

"What a big, tall city." [

At the forefront of the [-] elite soldiers, Chen Sheng led Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Fang Gu and others to stand on horseback. Chen Sheng raised his head and glanced at the mausoleum city, and immediately exclaimed.

It was not the first time that Chen Sheng attacked such a small force.At the beginning, Jiang Guang did it once.However, comparing Li Tong and Jiang Guang, there is really a difference between the underground and the sky.

That guy Jiang Guang is a yellow scarf general, and his subordinates are mobs, and the city is very dilapidated.And Li Tong is a famous general who is as famous as Wenpin, and his subordinates are also brave and skilled soldiers.

Go to the city in front of you.

The extraordinary city wall, coupled with the extremely stalwart city gate tower, gives people a majestic feeling.In terms of scale, it is probably second only to Wancheng.

Moreover, the whole body of the city is yellow, brand new and unusual.

It can be seen that Li Tong took great care of this city and repaired it from time to time.This is a tall and sturdy city.

On the top of the city gate, a stick with the word "Li" embroidered on it, and a flag fluttering in the wind showed that the owner of this city was Li Tong.

General Cao Wei who is as famous as Wenpin in history.

"The general is right. This city is really tall and big. Just defeat Li Tong and occupy this city. Not only will the entire Runan County survive, but it will greatly expand the power. At the same time, it will reduce Cao Cao's power. Influence, and occupying this city, the defense power has also been greatly increased."

Facing such a city, Liao Hua showed a strong desire to attack, looking at the mausoleum with glowing eyes.Eager to try.

"Li Tong is not to be underestimated. If we forcefully attack the city, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the gains will outweigh the losses." Chen Sheng warned solemnly, and then said: "On the contrary, we only need to be stationed outside the city. If we contain Li Tong, we will be able to do so." If you can easily obtain most of the cities in Runan, why not do it?"

"That's the truth, but the general is really uncomfortable looking at the "Li" flag on the city gate tower, and changing it to "Chen" will make it more pleasing to the eye." Liao Hua said angrily.

Liao Hua's nature is straightforward.After following Chen Sheng for a long time, the relationship is increasing day by day, and my nature is more, not as careful as when I first defected to Chen Sheng.

"There will be such a day." After listening to Liao Hua's speech, Chen Sheng thought it was a bit funny, but he also respected Liao Hua's ambition.So he said with a smile.

"Yes." Liao Hua nodded and said.

"Order to set up camp and dispatch spies to keep an eye on the movement of the city no matter day or night. If Li Tong dares to act recklessly, we will wipe him out."

After continuing to observe the mausoleum for a while, Chen Sheng gave an order.

"promise."[

Liao Hua and Fang Gu agreed and went down to set up camp.Soon after, a large camp covering an area of ​​about one mile was built.

Small is a little smaller.However, the camp is well-equipped with all kinds of internal organs, and there are many tents, with a small but capable atmosphere.

Anyway, in this battle, Chen Sheng was neither careless nor tense.That is to say, it is because Li Tong is strong.Don't underestimate it, for fear of capsizing in the gutter.

Even if he wasn't nervous, it was because Chen Sheng knew that as long as Li Tong was restrained, the twenty or thirty cities would be in his pocket.

However, there is one thing that Chen Sheng underestimated himself, and that was influence.

"Is that Chen Sheng's army? Looking at his barracks, it really is not a trivial matter." On the opposite side of the mausoleum, a general in golden armor was looking at Chen Sheng's camp, showing a dignified expression.

This golden-armored general is about 30 years old. He is unattractive, with a long top and short bottom, with weird proportions.

It can be seen that this person is dull on the outside, but has a golden shining point inside.

This person is none other than General Zhenwei Zhonglang under Cao Cao's command, General Li Tong who led [-] troops stationed in the northwest of Runan.

And there are some people beside Li Tong, all of whom are important generals or civil servants under Li Tong's command.After these people saw Chen Sheng's barracks, most of them were dignified, and a few even showed fear.

After listening to Li Tong's words, everyone nodded heavily in agreement.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong secretly sighed.

"Chen Sheng in Wancheng, brave in both civil and military affairs, defeated Duke Cao in succession and became famous all over the world. The prestige in this has shocked many people under my command. It's really amazing."

This is the influence that Chen Sheng didn't know about.That's right, Chen Sheng knew that Li Tong was a general, as famous as Wenpin.But he didn't count, he was also a prince who dominated one side.

The prestige of Cao Cao's losing streak is enough to make many people terrified.

In fact, Chen Sheng no longer needed to send spies all over the city to prevent Li Tong from sending troops.Li Tong is more than enough to guard the city, but there is no possibility of sending troops.

Except for the generals under Li Tong's command, they were more or less afraid of Chen Sheng.Another point is that Li Tong's army is only six thousand.Fight Chen Sheng recklessly, at least [-].

If you want to compete for the [-] or [-] cities in Runan, you have to face Liu Pi and Gongdu in Runan, and you need at least five or six thousand elite soldiers.

Anyway, Li Tong didn't have that thought at all about competing for Runan.

"The twenty or thirty cities in Runan, under Yuan Shao's command, have always been rich. After Chen Sheng occupies these cities, he can get rid of Liu Biao's control, grow further, and become stronger. The threat has doubled. For Cao Gong, this is extremely important. It’s bad news. But we are fighting hard, so we can only convey the news to Cao Gong, and let Cao Gong find a way to solve it.”

Finally, Li Tong sighed and said.

"promise."[

A person beside Li Tong immediately responded and went down to convey the news.

"If you give me [-] troops, I can still compete with you. But now." After conveying the order, Li Tong was in a bad mood, and he looked at Chen Sheng's barracks very unwillingly.The heart eager to fight a war is just around the corner, but unfortunately, the strength is insufficient, and there is nothing to do in the end.

In the end, he could only watch Chen Sheng grow up in vain.

that's all.The two sides confronted each other under the mausoleum for half a month.

On this day, the sun is shining brightly.It's a very comfortable day.

In Chen Sheng's barracks, although there was no war for half a month, the soldiers still performed their duties and meticulously carried out the tasks assigned by the superiors.Patrol, or garrison barracks.

The entire Chen Shengjun camp did not relax or slack off.

The guards outside the big tent of the Chinese army are still the densest in the army.From time to time, there are soldiers on patrol, passing by.

Just like now, there are two teams of ten soldiers.Crossing passed in front of the large tent of the Chinese army.Their steps are steady, their aura is fierce, and their power is admirable.

"Hahaha."

However, soon the soldiers in the two teams all turned their heads in unison, but it was because there was a sudden burst of laughter in the large tent of the Chinese army.

The soldiers could easily recognize that it was the laughter of their loyal general.

"What happened? Could it be that the southeast war is over?" The soldiers were all very happy as they thought to themselves.

And the soldiers guessed.There is nothing wrong with that.In the southeast, the war against the [-] or [-] cities in Runan was over. Under the leadership of Li Yan, after three battles, the [-] or [-] cities were completely occupied in half a month.

During the period, because of Li Yan's excellent ability, our own losses were not large.Even, in the process, Li Yan surrendered many soldiers.

now.In the big tent of the Chinese army.Chen Sheng was laughing, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.

Bamboo slips are battle reports.It records in detail the course of the war and the prisoners taken by Li Yan.In addition, on the case table in front of Chen Sheng, there is still a volume of rosters.

This is the roster of those twenty or thirty cities.It includes detailed records of the population of men and women, officials, and various supplies and food.

After laughing, Chen Sheng looked at the ranking again.Sure enough, as expected before the war, the 10,000 or [-] cities in Runan had a population of [-]+ people.

Including the previously occupied city, there are as many as 40 people.

According to the ten to one ratio of population to military strength, it is no problem to raise [-] troops.Not to mention, the grain and all kinds of luggage obtained from the twenty or thirty cities in Runan.

This battle was indeed fruitful.

"Hahaha." Chen Sheng couldn't help laughing again, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, don't try to curb my development.After laughing again for a while, Chen Sheng raised his head and scanned the inside of the big tent.

Now Chen Sheng is not laughing alone, there are Fang Gu, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua in the big tent.

"Draft a list, add Li Yan as Zhonglang General, and order him to recruit three thousand strong men from the surrendered troops to supplement the troops." Chen Sheng shouted at Fang Gu.

This is the result of Chen Sheng's calculations. The Wancheng faction currently has [-] soldiers, and Li Yan will expand the force by [-], and there will be [-] elite soldiers.It happened that the entire Wancheng forces had [-] elite soldiers.

With more than 40 people, it formed a ratio of ten to one.

Then this battle will be perfect, that is, the city, the population, a lot of money, food and supplies will be won, and the army will be increased.

"Promise." Fang Gu promised, and then smiled together with Liao Hua and Zhou Cang, sincerely happy for the increase in power.

"Draft the form, to the emperor of the Han Dynasty to be the governor of Runan County." Immediately, Chen Sheng issued an order to Fang Gu.

Chen Sheng is also extremely persistent towards the official position of the governor of Runan County, which symbolizes the lord of a piece of land.

"Promise." Fang Gu promised again.

"Since Runan is in your hands, then don't worry about Li Tong and retreat." Finally, Chen Sheng gave the order.

"Promise." All the generals agreed in unison.

Soon after, Chen Sheng's camp began to move out.

"Most of the cities in Runan have finally been taken by Chen Sheng." Chen Sheng treated them solemnly and solemnly. Li Tong, the general of Cao Wei who was as famous as Wenpin, led his people to the city again when he heard that Chen Sheng was pulling out the camp.

Seeing the scene of Chen Sheng pulling out the camp, Li Tong smiled wryly and said.

In this battle, he really didn't come in handy.

Although Chen Sheng went up to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he asked for the position of the governor of Runan County.But that was just a formality. After Chen Sheng returned to Wancheng, he immediately claimed to be the governor of Runan County.

Since then, Chen Sheng has been the governor of Runan County and General Jia Jianzhong.Sitting in more than forty cities, he is a powerful prince who cannot be underestimated by the world.

Although Chen Sheng personally conquered Runan in this battle, he restrained Li Tong.But the appointed general Li Yan was so good that he took the city without much effort.

Li Tong, who thought in advance that it might be a serious threat, did not take any action.This process can be called easy.

But for the princes of the world, especially Cao Cao who wanted to curb Chen Sheng's development and Liu Biao who wanted to control Chen Sheng, it was a heavy blow, which made them very uncomfortable.
