That's right, in Cao Ying's heart, Zhang Xiu died, and Chen Shengli was a first-class unfortunate thing in the world.

Listening to the ears of the knight, it is naturally a little unbelievable.

The death of this enemy commander is actually unfortunate.

This is the position of people and the question of IQ. The knight thinks that the lord of Nanyang is Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu's death is a great joy.

But Cao Ying was more afraid of Chen Sheng, and he wanted Chen Sheng to die more than Zhang Xiu's death.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

After screaming a few times of misfortune, Cao Ying sent the still confused knight away. After the knight was sent away, the army stopped, and Cao Ying, Xun You, and Cheng Yu were also silent.

Everyone is digesting the news.

"Ming Gong, Chen Shengzhi's talent is ten times better than Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu's leadership of Nanyang is just a second-rate force, and the threat is small. And Chen Sheng is at the helm of Nanyang, and the threat has increased several times. This must be guarded against, but it is still the same sentence, and you can't rush it. ”

After being silent for a long time, Xun Yu persuaded him.

But it was Cao Hong, Dian Wei, and Cao Ang who died in the hands of Chen Sheng one after another, Xun You was afraid that after Cao Ying heard that Chen Sheng was in power, the enemy was red-eyed when he saw him, and he forgot the strategy formulated by the three of them just now, and slowly tried to do it, and then attacked and attacked, so he said this.

Gongda was right. That Liu Biao is afraid that he doesn't know Chen Sheng's talent, and now that Zhang Xiu is dead, Chen Shengli, in our eyes, Nanyang's power is rising. But in Liu Biao's eyes, Nanyang is the new coach and the power is unstable. If we attack, Liu Biao will definitely come to the rescue of the Daxing Seventh Army. Therefore, it is even more necessary to take it slowly. ”

Cheng Yu also had this in mind, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.

The two top strategists in the world are doing their best to plan for Cao Ying, and they are both out of a sincere heart. However, they also underestimated Cao Ying.

Under the persuasion of Xun Yu and Cheng Yu just now, Cao Ying's murderous aura had already been reined in. At this moment, even though he heard Zhang Xiu's death and Chen Shengli's death, he sighed with emotion.

Cao Ying was still calm, and he was not carried away by anger because of this.

"The army is advancing slowly, first enter the dance yin to rest, stay for a few days, and then march to Wancheng." Cao Ying gave the order very calmly.

Completely let go of the hatred and take your time.

"No." Xun Yu, Cheng Yu saw that Cao Ying was unusually calm, and immediately responded happily.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the hero of the world, his surname is calm, there is such a calm and wise lord, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers, so he can't worry about pacifying the second-rate princes of Nanyang Chen Sheng.

Even though this prince is as cunning as a fox.

And with Cao Ying's order, the 20,000 army marched slowly, and the advanced soldiers went to Wuyin to turn with Cao Ren and others, rested for a few days, and then slowly walked towards Wancheng.

Cao Ying restored the calmness that Gaidai Xiaoxiong should have, and Xun You, Cheng Yu assisted, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Man Zhong as generals, and there were more than forty or fifty thousand elite soldiers.

This menacing situation suddenly made Chen Sheng feel the pressure.

Wancheng, General Chen Sheng's Mansion, inside the hall.

Chen Sheng knelt on the top and was a little embarrassed. Below them are Jia Xu, Liao Hua, Wei Yan, Zhou Cang, Fang Gu and others. After the rectification of military power, the real big people in Wancheng are these people.

"I expected that my brother would die of illness and I would inherit the position of General Jianzhong, and when Cao Ying learned about it, he would definitely be furious and attack Wancheng with tens of thousands of elite soldiers. In this way, we have a reason to ask Liu Biao for help. Nanyang is the gateway to Jingchu, Liu Biao is anxious, and he will go all out. In this way, even if you can't retreat Cao Ying, you can keep Nanyang temporarily. But now Cao Ying is not in a hurry, first rounds with Cao Ren and others, and then lives in Wuyin for a few days, and then sends troops south. Obviously, Cao Ying was also concerned about Liu Biao's problem and blocked our way. ”

Chen Sheng sighed slightly and said.

To be honest, since the last time he defeated Cao Ying according to the trajectory of history, Chen Sheng has despised Cao Ying a little. In addition, this time Cao Ying is the second time to enter Nanyang, according to the trajectory of history, Cao Ying will definitely retreat in a hurry because Yuan Shao wants to attack Xudu.

Therefore, Chen Sheng is very confident in keeping Nanyang.

Because of this, Chen Sheng's ambition swelled. I want to go one step further and defeat Cao Ying. He is also able to use it. wanted to use his ascension to the Lord of Nanyang as an introduction, which angered Cao Ying even more and made Cao Ying speed up the elite soldiers. then seek Liu Biao's reinforcements and fight with Cao Ying.

The two sides have a big battle, regardless of the victory or defeat, Liu Biao and Cao Ying's strength will definitely be damaged. When the time comes, find a way to preserve your strength, and there will be a lot to be done in the future.

But it's a pity that Cao Ying is Cao Ying after all, and he failed to enter the army angrily according to his plan, but guessed his intentions and slowly marched into the army.

The plan was frustrated, so Chen Sheng was a little embarrassed.

Similarly, Chen Sheng's heart also raised some vigilance. Cao Ying is indeed Cao Ying, and it is not an existence that can be despised once or twice defeated by relying on the foresight of history.

To deal with Cao Ying, you must go all out. There is no room for slackness.

"Since you can't beat the force, then you can only defend the city. Although we have few troops, we have a strong Wancheng, and there is no problem in keeping the city, and the general should not be sad about it. ”

Seeing Chen Sheng's embarrassed expression, Wei Yan persuaded him.

"That's the only way to do it." Chen Sheng thought about it, and there was no good way, so he could only reluctantly accept this method and defend the city.

"Da-da-da-da."

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps. Immediately afterwards, a personal soldier walked in and reported to Chen Shengyu: "General, Cao's army has come to the city. He is currently camping in the north of the city. ”

"Only set up camp in the north of the city?" Chen Sheng frowned deeply when he heard this, and asked.

"Exactly." The soldier replied.

"Yes, I really made up my mind, and I won't force Nanyang. There is no need to even besiege the city. Chen Sheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said.

I thought that last time Cao Ren only had 20,000 elite soldiers, he dared to surround Wancheng, but now Cao Ren has 40,000 or 50,000 elite soldiers, but he only camped in the north of the city.

made up his mind and didn't give Chen Sheng a chance to ask Liu Biao for help.

Chen Sheng still can't do anything about this, so he can only consume it first.

Immediately, Chen Sheng got up and called the general, and the ministers went to the north of the city to observe the Cao army's camp, saying that it was just an observation. Cao Jun's camp, Chen Sheng has seen it more than once, and even went inside.

How majestic, how imposing, I know it in my heart.

Therefore, after Chen Sheng observed for a while, there was no next move. returned to the city with the group, wiped his neck clean, and prepared to wait for Cao Ying to attack the city.

In addition, Chen Sheng obviously knew that Cao Ying was not in a hurry to enter the army, and it was in vain to ask Liu Biao for reinforcements. But he still sent special personnel to Xiangyang to ask for reinforcements.

Asking Xiangyang for reinforcements is naturally in vain.

Liu Biao did not give support to the troops, but sent some officials to motivate Chen Sheng, so that Chen Sheng could fight the war, if the situation is not right, our Jingzhou is the strong backing of Nanyang.

It's all some nonsense, but Chen Sheng had already expected it, so he didn't get angry.

And Cao Ying didn't enter the army, so he camped outside the city, as if he had taken root. As a result, the situation in Nanyang County was so strangely deadlocked.

The two armies were stationed inside and outside the city, and neither could attack the other.

And this stalemate is two months in a blink of an eye.

Although Chen Sheng knew that Cao Ying was still the same Cao Ying, a character like the world's heroes. It's terrible to be able to bear it, and to calm down. But Chen Sheng didn't expect that Cao Ying would be so enduring.

It's been two months, and it's not moving. And it seems like you have to endure it endlessly.

This was a big surprise to Chen Sheng, originally, Chen Sheng thought that Cao Ying would retreat according to history, because Yuan Shao was going to attack Xu Du.

But now that Cao Ying has not withdrawn from the army, could it be that there is something wrong with Yuan Shao's side?

This is not impossible, you must know that Yuan Shao's important strategist, Guo Tu was slaughtered by him. This may lead to subtle changes, for example, in history, Yuan Shao had an idea, and the plan to surprise Xu Du during this time period was Guo Tujin's offering?

And now that Guo Tu is dead, there is no one to contribute. Yuan Shao didn't move.

That is to say, Cao Ying may not be in a hurry to withdraw from the army as in history.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Sheng couldn't sit still.

Don't look at the stalemate between the two armies now, no one is taking advantage. But in fact, it was Nanyang who suffered a big loss in this regard. Didn't you see that since Cao Jun Chen soldiers fell under the city, this caravan from south to north has disappeared?

Don't you see that since Cao Jun Chen Bing fell into the city, the prosperity of the city has plummeted?

And that's not all. It's still June and July, and I can't see it. If you wait for autumn to arrive, outside the city, no, the grain in the entire Nanyang County is ripe, and the Cao army will set up troops again and cut the grain away, what should I do?

On the contrary, Cao Jun will not have any losses on this side. The first is to fight in the enemy's sphere of influence, which has little impact on its own internal affairs.

Secondly, this Nanyang is very close to Xu. Originally, Cao Jun's army of 40,000 or 50,000 was going to eat, whether it was in Xudu or Nanyang.

In Nanyang, at most, it is just to mobilize a part of the people's power and escort grain. For Cao Jun, it's just tickling, and he didn't suffer much.

Therefore, on the bright side, this confrontation is needle-to-wheat, and no one should think that they have taken advantage.

But as time goes by, it must be Chen Sheng who suffers, and it must be Nanyang County.

Thinking of this, as the trusted lord of Nanyang, it was strange that Chen Sheng could sit still.

I have to think of a way to provoke Cao Ying, endlessly, without morality, no matter how dirty and obscene the means, I have to let Cao Ying attack Wancheng.

Then he asked for Liu Biao's reinforcements and joined forces to fight Cao Ying.

By the way, Liu Biao and Cao Ying's forces and troops were consumed.

If it goes on like this, it's bad.

With the thought in his heart, Chen Sheng summoned the important strategists under his command, and Jia Xu came over to discuss.
