Chapter 785: Another Famous Minister

Liu Zheng hoped that Luo Jun would take refuge in him.

Not only because of Luo Jun's refuge, Liu Zheng was able to quickly get these soldiers and horses here in Chen Guo, but also because of Luo Jun's talent, which is rare.

After all, what Liu Zheng lacks most is an internal affairs talent like Luo Jun.

In fact, it is not scarce, after all, now Liu Zheng has Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others under his command, but Luo Jun is still in great need of talents, and the territory under his jurisdiction is too large, and there are many comprehensive considerations.

If Luo Jun can take refuge in Liu Zheng, but can make Liu Zheng have more choices.

Of course, if Luo Jun didn't take refuge in him, Liu Zheng would have no choice.

Liu Zheng is not a murderous person after all, if Luo Jun is really not a fellow traveler and does not plan to take refuge in Liu Zheng, then Liu Zheng can only give up.

After all, a celebrity like Luo Jun, Liu Zheng was reluctant to kill.

But obviously, a smart person like Luo Jun did not reject Liu Zheng so much, especially now that Liu Chongdu has taken refuge in Liu Zheng, Luo Jun naturally has nothing to say.

If there is no rejection of Liu Zheng, it is logical to take refuge in Liu Zheng.

"Luo Jun doesn't have any ambitions, just wants to protect the well-being of the people."

Luo Jun said humbly, and said to Liu Zheng.

"That's right, I've already laid a pure land, and I hope that a talent like Mr. Luo Jun can help me protect it."

This time, what Liu Zheng said was more straightforward, whether Luo Jun accepted it or not, it was just a thought.

Luo Jun's face remained unchanged, and he pondered slightly.

Dian Wei and Liu Pet on the side, their eyes fell on Luo Jun, looking forward to Luo Jun's answer.

Luo Jun also knew that it was time for him to answer Liu Zheng's words.

didn't think much about it, immediately got up, and then looked at Liu Zheng respectfully.

"Since the adults are so loving, Luo Jun doesn't dare to refuse."

Saying this, Liu Chong, Dian Wei and others, who were nervous, were relieved.

"Hahaha, Mr. Luo Jun is really sensible, come on, keep drinking, be happy today, drink a little more."

Liu Zheng is still very happy that Luo Jun can take refuge in himself, after all, in this way, he can really control Chen Guo.

Chen Guo is now here, there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses, in fact, the available soldiers are close to 100,000, if Liu Zheng really wants to recruit soldiers, in Chen Guo this place can select a lot of elite reserve soldiers and horses.

With a little training, they can go to war.

In this era when ordinary people have only two paths to take.

Either farm and gamble on the sky, or gamble on your life before the battle.

There will still be many people who are willing to choose to gamble their lives before the battle, join the army, and think of relying on luck and strength to make a name for themselves in front of the battle, and change their class from then on.

After Liu Zheng drank some wine with Liu Pet and Luo Jun in the palace, he asked Liu Pet to start recounting Chen Guo's soldiers and horses the next day, and he did not take all of Chen Guo's soldiers and horses away, but only took away 20,000 of them.

The reason why only 20,000 people were taken away was also because now Chen Guo also needed to be garrisoned here, and it was impossible for Liu Zheng to completely transfer Chen Guo's soldiers and horses away.

He dispatched 20,000 people here, mainly to besiege Runan, and when Runan garrisoned by Kuailiang was defeated, the 20,000 people of the Chen State would take the opportunity to occupy Runan, Nanyang, and even Yingchuan and other places.

As long as these places are occupied, the entire Yuzhou will almost be controlled by Liu Zheng.

Then, Liu Zheng can unscrupulously take the remnants of Jingzhou into his hands.

In this way, he can be regarded as completely opening up Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and when the time comes, Liu Zheng's territory will be on all sides, and Lu Kang of Lujiang will be difficult to continue even if he does not throw himself into Liu Zheng's arms.

With Liu Pet's appearance, these soldiers and horses of Chen Guo were easily taken under Liu Zheng's command.

Moreover, Liu Pet volunteered to recommend himself to Liu Zhengmao.

Liu Pet knew that Liu Zheng was going to attack Runan.

Compared with being a do-nothing prince and king all his life, he died of old age in his own fiefdom. Liu Pet actually hopes that his life will be more exciting.

Go into battle to kill the enemy and conquer the world.

Although he can't establish a meritorious career like Liu Zheng and achieve the hegemony of the emperor.

But Liu Pet also wants to be like his ancestors. Fight on the battlefield and grow your prestige.

"Your Majesty, I know that you are going to lead people to attack Runan City, why don't you let me be the vanguard?"

Liu Chong looked at Liu Zheng expectantly, hoping that Liu Zheng would be able to agree to his request.

Liu Zheng didn't expect Liu Pet to make such a request.

However, after thinking about it carefully, in order to be able to fight, Liu Pet took the initiative to invite Ying to join Lu Zhi's coalition army and ran to Huainan City to attack Liu Zheng, so it is not difficult to guess how much Liu Pet likes to fight on the battlefield.

Moreover, during the Battle of Huainan, Liu Zheng also heard about Liu Chong's strength from his subordinates.

And after detaining Liu Pet in Wu County during this time, Liu Zheng also tested Liu Pet's strength, if this guy is not a prince king, he is indeed a brave general.

At present, Liu Pet took the initiative to ask for help, and Liu Zheng couldn't refute his face.

After all, this is the first time he wants to behave in front of Liu Zheng, and out of the idea of appeasing these new people who have taken refuge in him, Liu Zheng will also agree to Liu Zheng.

"Good! Since you have this idea, King Chen, the widow will naturally not refuse, if you defeat Runan, the widow will give you jurisdiction over Runan! ”

When Liu Pet heard Liu Zheng's words, his face was happy, but he still understood the truth of Mingzhe's self-preservation.

immediately resigned Liu Zheng's reward.

"Your Majesty, Liu Pet doesn't want His Majesty's reward, Liu Pet just wants to behave in front of His Majesty, and when I take Runan City, it will be regarded as a vote for Your Majesty!"

Liu Pet is worried that he will be jealous of Liu Zheng for his initiative, so he will explain it like this.

Liu Zheng didn't care, waved his hand and waited for Liu Chongshuai to lead the men and horses to attack Runan City.

Since it was decided that Liu Pet would lead his soldiers and horses to be the vanguard, Liu Pet did not stay in Chen Guo for a particularly long time, and in just one day, after Liu Pet gathered the soldiers and horses near Chen Guo, he went directly to Runan City with Liu Zheng.

It only took two days to go back and forth, and Liu Zheng and Liu Chong brought back an army of 20,000 from Chen State.

At the same time, Sun Jian and Zhou Yu's 40,000 soldiers and horses also arrived in Runan at this time.

For a time, Liu Zheng gathered nearly 70,000 troops in the Runan area.

Sun Jian 20,000, Zhou Yu 20,000, Liu Chong 20,000, and Xu Huang's cavalry under nearly 10,000.

When these 70,000 troops appeared outside Runan City, although they had not yet launched an attack on Runan, it was enough to make Kuai Liang in Runan City tremble.

At this time, there were only a few thousand defenders in Runan City, and they had no ability to resist in the face of Liu Zheng's tens of thousands of troops.
