"How, can it be put into my account as a general?" Chen Sheng couldn't hear Liao Hua's sigh, but he also exclaimed.

"I plotted against the general, and after the defeat, I not only avoided death, but also won the general's love and recruited as a general. If you don't serve your life, isn't it arrogant? Liao Hua pondered for a moment and said. After that, he bowed down and said, "Please be a pawn for the general." ”

Chen Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Yuan Jian is a good talent, how can I treat him like a pawn?" When Yuan Jian goes back to Wancheng with me, he will be awarded 500 soldiers and be a captain. ”

"Thank you, General."

Thank you again Liao Hua.

Today, I am really happy to have another good general. Therefore, Chen Sheng ordered someone to call Zhou Cang, and Wei Yan came to see him. and for Liao Hua, he introduced the generals under his account.

In this way, there were four generals under Chen Sheng, Zhao Yun was the main general and commanded 800 troops, Liao Hua, Wei Yan was the general of the army, and Ding 500 was divided into commanders, and Zhou Cang was the close general, and 50 troops were commanded.

The rest of the soldiers, Chen Sheng led by himself, and Changshi Fanggu was in charge.

In the general's tent, Chen Shenggao sat on the general's seat, Zhao Yun, Liao Hua, and Wei Yan knelt and sat on the side, while Zhou Cang stood behind Chen Sheng, pressing the hilt of the sword with his hand, and his tiger eyes were shiny and majestic.

"Today, I have to be frugal, and I have to surrender two or three hundred troops. In this way, there are 2,500 troops under my command, which is really gratifying. Chen Sheng looked around at the generals and said happily.

The generals were also happy and very happy for Chen Sheng.

"It's just that I still have doubts in my heart, can Yuan Jian solve my doubts?" Immediately afterwards, a little doubt flashed on Chen Sheng's face and asked Liao Huadao.

The general had doubts, but opened his mouth. The last general will know everything. Liao Hua solemnly raised his fist and said.

"As far as I know, that Cai Fang is very timid, and it is impossible for him to send troops to attack me. But he sent out his army tonight, so it must be you, or the great merchant of An'an, who is planning it. I don't know where you two belong? ”

Chen Sheng asked the doubts in his heart, what kind of character is this Liao Hua and Fang Gan.

Liao Hua was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then opened his mouth and said, "I don't know if the general knows Jiang Guang?" ”

"Jiang Guang?" Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked, "But that Jiang Guang, who is entrenched in the northwest of Nanyang and has five cities such as Guang?" ”

"It is this person, Jiang Guang and I are both Yellow Turban generals, living in Nanyang, and establishing a force on this side. He wanted to annex Wancheng, so I led my troops to plot against the general and cut off the arms of General Jianzhong. ”

Liao Hua nodded and said.

"I see."

Chen Sheng understood completely when he heard this.

Nanyang County is very vast and the largest in the world. There is one reason, because the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaoguangwu, was born in Nanyang.

Nanyang County is the emperor's township.

Therefore, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang County is very vast, with 34 counties, that is, 34 cities.

In that year, Zhang Ji attacked Nanyang and was shot by General Liu Biao. Zhang Xiu commanded the army and was placed in Wancheng by Liu Biao. At that time, Liu Biao gave Zhang Xiu's territory eight cities.

The rest of the twenty-one cities, including Xinye and Fancheng, belong to Liu Biao.

In this way, Zhang Xiu only has eight cities, with about sixty or seventy thousand people. But it is very difficult to support 15,000 Xiliang elite soldiers.

often asked Liu Biao for food, so a vague subordinate relationship was formed between him and Liu Biao.

Subject to people.

Since there are thirty-four cities in Nanyang County, twenty-one are Liu Biao's, and eight are Zhang Xiu's, so naturally there are still five cities left.

This is Jiang Guang's territory, just northwest of Wancheng. This man sat on five cities, about thirty or forty thousand people, and eight thousand people.

It's a small force.

"This Anzhong big businessman is actually Jiang Guang's subordinate." Chen Sheng was a little emotional.

Immediately, Chen Sheng fell into deep thought again.

Because, Chen Sheng had some vague thoughts in his heart.

Brother Zhang Xiu has no ambitions. I just want to divide one side and wait for the world to be calm. Therefore, he seized eight cities in Nanyang and had 15,000 elite soldiers.

But it allowed small forces like Jiang Guang to survive.

Because in Zhang Xiu's view, Jiang Guang is a famous yellow turban general, with 8,000 people. If you lead your troops to attack Jiang Guang, you will definitely have some losses, and the gains really outweigh the losses.

But in Chen Sheng's eyes, it was different.

This small force is undoubtedly a fat sheep.

Five cities, 30,000 or 40,000 people, 8,000 people, even if the old, weak, sick and disabled are eliminated, I am afraid that there will still be thousands of strong people left.

If it can be taken, it will undoubtedly increase the momentum.

Again, there's one more thing.

"My current army is getting bigger and bigger. And my brother is also subject to Liu Biao, and it is becoming more and more difficult to supply the food needed by my army. I should destroy Jiang Guang in the west and occupy five cities. Relying on the strength of 30,000 or 40,000 people, self-sufficient. ”

"Again, there's another benefit. If I take Guangcheng and defend myself, I can form a rivalry with Wancheng. If Cao Jun comes to attack, they can support each other and feather their wings. Against Cao Ying, he is also more certain. ”

All in all, Chen Sheng felt that the opportunity had come.

An opportunity to increase the number of troops, and to have a small territory that can feed the army.

This undoubtedly gave Chen Sheng a lot of excitement on the way to fight against Cao Ying.

And, the main thing is.

Chen Sheng glanced at Liao Hua and thought in his heart, I have Yuan Jian, I can know the reality of the five cities, as well as Jiang Guang's ability. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles.

Since you have this advantage, if you don't attack, you're really sorry for yourself.

"I know that Jiang Guang is a yellow turban general, and there are 8,000 troops and five cities. But I don't know what is real and false, can Yuan Jian solve my doubts? Thinking about it, Chen Sheng raised his head and asked.

Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's eyes flashed, but they sensed Chen Sheng's enterprising heart. Both of them are excited, strengthening themselves.

"Eight thousand people, that's just an external statement. In fact, there were only 6,000 soldiers in the five cities. As for Jiang Guang, he has some prestige, but he is not very capable. ”

Liao Hua also sensed Chen Sheng's intentions, groaned for a while, and opened his mouth to say.

"This is a godsend, if you don't take it, it's too late to regret it." Chen Sheng made a more decisive decision when he heard this, and said.

"I have made up my mind, go back to Wancheng first, and digest the two or three hundred troops now. Unite 2,500 elite soldiers, generalize to the northwest, and attack Jiang Guang. ”

Chen Sheng said suddenly.

"No."

Wei Yan, Zhao Yun, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang and others agreed in unison.

"Let's rest and recharge. When Ming said that he had entered Anzhong, he copied the family business that he did. Chen Sheng shouted.

"No."

Wei Yan and the others agreed again and walked down.

"Jiang Guang? Five cities? After everyone left, Chen Sheng's heart was still very excited.

I never dreamed that I would be able to return to the Three Kingdoms. Unexpectedly, after coming to the Three Kingdoms, he became an enemy of Cao Ying. What I didn't expect was that he had military power, and he also recruited Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Wei Yan as generals.

What I didn't expect was that if I won the battle, there would be five cities at my disposal.

Thinking about it, Chen Sheng couldn't help but be excited.
