"By the way, I......I, forget it, I still have 30,000 soldiers in Huainan. How to send troops and how to select generals are all handed over to Ziwei. If you have any questions, you can ask my general and the Central Guard. ”

When Yuan Shu said this, among the Yuan Shu generals present, Ji Ling was silent and did not squint. And Yuan Yin lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't see it.

It seems that they have become accustomed to it.

Chen Sheng also felt the same way, and he was used to it. Since coming to this era, I really haven't seen anyone more absurd and free than Yuan Shu.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Chen Sheng ran out of ink and said directly.

"That's right." Yuan Shu laughed and said. Immediately, Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Then you can deal with this matter first." I'll go to sleep on the couch. With that, Yuan Shu walked out of the small door in the main hall, not knowing where to sleep.

After Yuan Shu left, the atmosphere in this hall was slightly dull. Although it was said that he had taken over the whole thing, Chen Sheng didn't know how to speak for a while. That's what I did.

"Since he fought with Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Cao Ying, Sun Ce and others, and was defeated like a mountain, my brother has become like this. General Chen smiled. Chen Sheng pondered how to speak, but Yuan Yin over there spoke first, only to see Yuan Yin's face full of wry smiles, and he gestured in the direction of Chen Sheng.

"How dare you." What else can Chen Sheng say, how dare he say two words.

"These inconsequential things, let's not mention them for now. The top priority is to deal with Lu Bu's matter. Yuan Yin broke the silence first, and Chen Sheng also took the opportunity to put himself in the position of "handsome" and began to give orders.

"No." Yuan Yin said solemnly when he heard this.

And over there, Ji Ling also raised his fist towards Chen Sheng, indicating obedience, and Zhou Cang didn't have to worry about him.

So, Chen Sheng took a deep breath and asked, "I heard what Yuan Gong said just now, there are still 30,000 soldiers in this Huainan territory, what is the situation of these 30,000 soldiers?" ”

"At present, there are indeed 30,000 soldiers in Huainan, but among these 30,000 soldiers, only 20,000 can be mobilized, and as for those who can fight, I am afraid that there are less than 10,000." Yuan Yin said without thinking when he heard this.

"Since there are 30,000 soldiers, how can only 20,000 soldiers be mobilized, and how can there only be 10,000 soldiers who can fight?" Chen Sheng frowned, slightly solemn.

"General Chen, don't be angry, and listen to me." Sensing Chen Sheng's anger, Yuan Yin hurriedly said.

"Speak slowly, more carefully." Chen Sheng's anger and killing intent were not aimed at Yuan Yin, so after listening to Yuan Yin's words, Chen Sheng said very kindly.

"That's right, Huainan does have 30,000 soldiers. However, there are 10,000 elite soldiers who are guarded in important cities and passes, but in recent years, the elder brother has gradually become unable to command. These 10,000 elite soldiers naturally cannot be mobilized. Then there are only 20,000 left. Speaking of this, Yuan Yin's face showed a little shame, and it seemed difficult to speak.

"Along the way, the general also saw the situation in Huainan, and to put it mildly, there was no one for ten miles. With such a dilapidated Huainan, how many elite soldiers can there be? Among the 20,000 soldiers who are big, 10,000 are old, weak, sick and disabled, and although the remaining 10,000 are all strong, there are still a few who are really elite. ”

Yuan Yin was speechless, but on the other side, Ji Ling spoke.

This number one fierce general under Yuan Shu, Chen Sheng has been seeing him for more than a day. But it was the first time I heard him say such a long thing, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was the kind of thing that revealed his own shortcomings. Is it difficult to talk about Yuan Yin? Ji Ling said it generously.

Chen Sheng looked at Ji Ling in surprise, and then, Chen Sheng saw a deep unwillingness in Ji Ling's eyes, and he was heartbroken. Although this general is not taboo about this, and said it generously, but deep down, I am afraid that it will be difficult.

Chen Sheng guessed in his heart.

Chen Sheng felt that he liked Ji Ling even more, and this one never gave up when Yuan Shu was so down. Although he is powerless to do anything about the current situation, the general who is deeply saddened by it is really a good general who is loyal and brave.

On the one hand, Chen Sheng liked Ji Ling more and more, but on the other hand, Chen Sheng was in trouble again.

When he was in Wancheng, Chen Sheng knew that Yuan Shu's gang was about to end, and the forces under his command and the general were about to fall apart.

But after all, Chen Sheng learned about it from the history books, and it was only now that Chen Sheng fully understood Yuan Shu's situation. The people of Huainan were weak, the city was ruined, the generals were strong, and Yuan Shu was weak. If Chen Sheng is given time, the matter will definitely be resolved.

Generals who dare to support their own troops will be beheaded for public display. Corrupt officials who dare to be extremely vicious will be put to death.

But the point is that time is running out now, and Cao Ying's army doesn't know when it will set out. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng's only felt that his brain was about to become a pot of porridge.

Damn Yuan Shu, no wonder it's so easy. But it turned out that the mess was not only rotten, but also rotten to the roots.

Chen Sheng's heart finally couldn't help but scold a few words.

"Huhuhu."

Then, Chen Sheng took a few breaths in succession and forced himself to calm down. Yuan Shu's mess can be thrown away, but he can't be thrown away. No matter how bad it is, it has to be re-established.

After calming down, Chen Sheng also had some decisions in his mind, which was not necessarily a good decision, but it was better than nothing.

Thinking about it, Chen Sheng said to Ji Ling: "The art of war is cloudy, there are not many soldiers, but fine." Since the general knew that most of the old, weak, sick and disabled people in this army were in this army, he asked the general to completely eliminate these old, weak, sick and disabled, select the strong, and form another army. ”

"In addition, there is no problem in forming an army, I can guarantee that after half a month, there will be 10,000 strong. Not necessarily an elite soldier, but not a rabble. Ji Ling said when he heard this.

"With the general intervening, everything is worry-free." Chen Sheng said with a smile, these words are half sincere, and half are popular. Didn't Yuan Shu say it all? This Huainan will be handed over to me in charge in the future, so this Ji Ling is also the general under my command.

At this moment, Chen Sheng automatically ignored what Yuan Shu said, the premise was to be a son-in-law.

Half of Chen Sheng's is to win people's hearts, but Ji Ling may not appreciate it, I saw Ji Ling stretch out his right hand and said solemnly: "The general is not happy first, but Ji Ling still has a few words to say." ”

"It's okay to say something straight." Seeing Ji Ling's expression, Chen Sheng guessed if it was a good word, but he still said with a smile.

"This selected soldier shall be handed over to me and the general of the chariot and cavalry, and I will not release the military power until the day when the general and the princess are married." Ji Ling said solemnly.

Chen Sheng immediately understood when he heard this.

When he came here, he had to put Yuan Shu to assassinate, or kidnap or something like that, so he brought Zhou Cang and the army. After entering Yuan Shu's palace, he had to control a palace gate, for fear of being blocked in the palace gate. This is because the relationship between the two parties is not close to the point of being like brothers.

And Ji Ling also considered it from this aspect, hoping that he had military power under his hands. What to do?

Protect Yuan Shu's status, and see if he Chen Sheng's respect for Yuan Shu is disrespectful, whether Yuan Shu's dream of the emperor can be completed.

If Yuan Shu is not doing well, Ji Ling is afraid that he will immediately raise troops and argue with him, even if he is defeated and killed, he will not hesitate to do so. This is called a loyal servant. On the contrary, if he treats Yuan Shu very well and marries Yuan Shu's daughter, then Ji Ling will be a loyal general.

At that moment, Chen Sheng understood Ji Ling's thoughts.

In the face of such a person, what else can Chen Sheng say? Do you still say, you idiot, Yuan Shu has fallen to such a point, what are you still loyal to him for? In this way, it is trampling on Ji Ling.

So, Chen Sheng said with a smile: "I know the general's intentions, according to what the general said, this selected elite soldier will be in charge of the general and the general of the chariot cavalry." At the end, Chen Sheng glanced at Yuan Yin.

"Thank you, General." Ji Ling thanked him solemnly.

"Thank you, General." Yuan Yin also raised his fist and said, his expression was slightly boastful.

He saw the scene just now. He originally thought that Ji Ling put on such a meaning, even if Chen Sheng was not angry, he would be displeased. Unexpectedly, Chen Sheng actually agreed kindly.

Either there is intrigue flowing in the belly, or it is open-minded. And Yuan Yin believes that Chen Sheng is the latter.

"This guy doesn't look very pleasing at first, but I can't imagine that he is very loyal." On Chen Sheng's side, Zhou Cang's admiration for Ji Ling suddenly climbed steadily. This is the so-called people divided into groups, Zhou Cang is loyal, and naturally likes the loyal Ji Ling.

"The general doesn't need to be polite." Chen Sheng waved his hand and said. After that, he said: "Without further ado, the general will immediately go down and select elite soldiers." ”

"No." Ji Ling is also a general, so he naturally knew that it would be without further ado, and after listening to Chen Sheng's order, he immediately agreed, and then left in stride.

Handing over Yuan Shu's army to Ji Ling, Chen Sheng was very relieved. In other words, the old, weak, sick and disabled among the 30,000 soldiers have been dealt with. The rest are the strong and unruly generals who are deployed in Huainan.

After a deep groan, Chen Sheng looked up at Yuan Yin and asked, "General Yuan, who are the leaders of these Huainan warriors?" ”

"There is a general Lei Book, Chen Lan." Yuan Yin said without thinking, there was a bit of fierceness in his eyes, obviously in Yuan Yin's heart, he hated this group of generals who were not loyal to Yuan Shu.

"Oh." Chen Sheng sighed, these two guys seemed to have some impressions.

After pondering for a while, Chen Sheng asked another question that seemed to be in the opposite direction.

"General Yuan, during these years, what is Gong Yuan's attitude towards the generals? Is it very tolerant? Or is it harsh? Or, did Yuan Gong kill a general during this period? ”
