On this day, the sky cleared, and it was a very sunny day. It stands to reason that many merchants, travelers, and people should have entered the city in this weather.

However, because the war had just ended, it was rarely populated. This is the after-effect of the war, and there is really no way to do it.

And this day is the third day since Chen Sheng led his troops to pursue Cao Ying's victory.

In the south of Wancheng City, Chen Sheng led Zhou Cang and some of his own soldiers to see off Wang Wei and Wen Ping. Originally, Wang Wei and Wen Ping should have set off yesterday.

It's just that at the celebration banquet that night, Wang Wei also drank bitterly, and he was not fully awake the next day, so he was delayed for another day.

"Take care, two generals."

Chen Sheng was very sincere towards Wang Wei and hugged his fist.

On the other side, Wang Wei's spirit was still a little uncomfortable, and he had not completely sobered up from drunkenness. In the face of Chen Sheng's overtures, Wenpin was never moved, just stayed in the barracks.

This made Chen Sheng feel a pity, and he also respected Wenpin even more.

This is a good general.

"General Chen, take care."

Wen Ping, Wang Wei and Wang Wei also returned the salute. By the way, they glanced at Chen Sheng heavily, and then the two turned around, got on the war horse, and led the army to leave slowly.

This time, the coalition was quite pleasant, and the goal of defeating Cao Ying was achieved. But next time, I'm afraid that both sides will be enemies.

Regardless of the clerk, Wang Wei is a very far-sighted general, and they are all prepared for this.

"These two generals are brave and good at fighting, and they abide by their duties, and they are really famous generals in Jingzhou." Zhou Cang sighed and said. The implication is that it is a great enemy.

Even Zhou Cang saw this.

"Let's do our own thing first, it's too early to take Jingzhou now." Chen Sheng said in his own voice, then turned over and rode his horse, led Zhou Cang and the others into the city, and went straight into the general's mansion and hall.

When Chen Sheng returned to the General's Mansion and the hall, all the civil and military officers were already here. Jia Xu, Hu Che'er, Wei Yan, Liao Hua, Fang Gu.

Glancing at the civil and military personnel, Chen Sheng felt a little deserted. However, after a while, Chen Sheng was uplifted again, although it was rare and deserted, they were all elites, plus Zhao Yun, they were much stronger than Liu Biao.

After being excited, Chen Sheng went straight to the top and knelt down, while Zhou Cang followed closely behind, and finally stood beside Chen Sheng.

"General."

After Chen Sheng knelt and sat down, the civil and military officers saluted Chen Sheng in unison.

"It's all your own people, so you don't need to be so polite." Chen Sheng said.

When the civil and military people heard this, they all listened to the wind in their ears, and the etiquette should not be abolished. And Chen Sheng just said it casually and didn't care. Therefore, soon Chen Sheng said: "Wenpin, Wang Wei left." This means that the alliance between us and Jingzhou has come to an end. Next, it may not be possible to turn around soon, but as the strength of my Wancheng is stronger, the relationship between the two sides is afraid that it will become cold and estranged, so you should be prepared. ”

"Don't worry, general, we won't slack off." Liao Hua raised his fist and said.

"Exactly, the general's plan to devour Jingzhou, we will never forget it, and train elite soldiers at night for war purposes." Hu Che'er also said heavily beside him.

"Well, that's good." Chen Sheng was very satisfied when he saw that the generals did not slack off and relax because of the momentary victory, and did not forget to attack Jingzhou from time to time, and nodded and said.

"Speaking of this elite soldier, we must pay attention to two points." Speaking of elite soldiers, Chen Sheng had some thoughts, and couldn't help but say to the civil and military people.

"Please show me the general."

Wei Yan and the others responded in unison.

"First, the casualties must be compensated generously and do their best. This is more important than anything else. This point will be handed over to Wenhe. Chen Sheng said solemnly, and finally turned his head to look at Jia Xu, and explained in a solemn voice.

"No." Jia Xu is still the same and doesn't talk much. But Chen Sheng believes in Jia Xu very much, this strategist does things safely.

"Another point is that Cao's army has surrendered. I fought Cao Hong and surrendered thousands. Engaged Cao Ren and surrendered thousands more. Now in the army, the proportion occupied by the Cao army is very large. I ask you to wait, try to appease the soldiers, raise them, and avoid escape. Generous rewards are also not spared. If you have any difficulties, you can come directly to me. After explaining the first thing, Chen Sheng turned back to the generals and said solemnly.

The first thing is to comfort the wounded soldiers. The second thing is to avoid the escape of Cao's army.

Only the issue of the army can Chen Sheng be so solemn and serious.

"No." The generals also made a loud promise, indicating that they understood.

And Chen Sheng is also very relieved, they are all elites, as long as they are not careless, there will be no problems.

After explaining these two questions, Chen Sheng also put his mind at ease, and then discussed the details with the generals, and let the generals go down.

"For me, it's another page." After the generals left, Chen Sheng got up and attacked, walked to the door of the hall, looked up at the sky, and let out a relieved sound.

Historically, Zhang Xiu's force, except for the Xiliang elite soldiers, as well as Jia Xu and Hu Che'er, had no advantages.

Therefore, Chen Sheng chose to lobby Cao Ying and crossed safely. After that, I don't have any ambitions, I can have some status, and then I can raise concubines, it would be very cool.

But fate played a joke on him, and if he couldn't persuade Cao Ying, he was humiliated. In a fit of anger, he actually supported Zhang Xiu to fight with Cao Ying.

After fighting a battle and killing Dian Wei and Cao Ang, he found that the road ahead was bumpy and full of thorns. With Zhang Xiu's forces, it is too difficult to fight against Cao Ying.

So, train elite soldiers, recruit strong generals, and prepare to fight Cao Ying again.

No, Zhang Xiu was ambushed in the middle of the way, was injured, and finally died of illness. This burden actually weighed on him all at once. Fortunately, he had a high prestige, quickly integrated the soldiers, and designed to attract Liu Biao's reinforcements to repel Cao Ying again.

In retrospect, it was a real hard work along the way, and it could be destroyed at any time. Looking back, a cold sweat is indispensable.

But now it's different. What happened in history, Cao Ying's second expedition to Wancheng has ended. Next, it's time for Cao Ying to go back and deal with Lu Bu and Yuan Shao.

In other words, Cao Ying did not have the ability to carry out the third expedition to Wancheng.

That is, the time for defense is over, and it is time to attack. So Chen Sheng was relieved and said, "It can be regarded as turning a new page." ”

After being relieved, Chen Sheng walked around casually and relaxed. It can be said that Chen Sheng's mood at this moment is the most relaxed moment after crossing into this era.

However, it was only a quarter of an hour. In the final analysis, Chen Sheng still worked hard, for his own survival and the future, he kept running around, constantly running, until the moment Cao Ying died, he could really relax.

No, just after a moment of relaxation, Chen Sheng began to think about the changes in history. After the second battle of Wancheng, there is no doubt that Cao Ying will point the finger at Lu Bu.

Liu Bei and Lu Bu, a pair of enemies, will put an end to the grievances between the two sides in this battle of Xuzhou. Lü Bu died in battle, Gao Shun and Chen Gong died together, and some generals such as Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Ying.

Lu Bu's power was wiped out.

And for this war, Chen Sheng had already laid an ambush. He persuaded Zhang Xiu to enter Runan, Liu Pi and others, not simply to expand the territory.

It's to contact Yuan Shu, Lu Bu.

In the end, the goal of rescuing Lu Bu was achieved.

There is a saying that the enemy of the enemy is the friend. Therefore, rescuing Lu Bu is a must. However, Chen Sheng's ultimate goal is to rescue Lu Bu as simple?

Of course not.

Is it a plot to seize Xuzhou? Of course not.

This Xuzhou was a treasure land when it was Tao Qian, with a million hukou, and this hukou million is a bit general, with a population of about two or three million.

Rich and strong.

It's a pity that the city was slaughtered by Cao Ying for dozens of years, and it was very damaged. After Liu Bei took over, he was barely a good stall. As a result, he couldn't hold it and fought with Lu Bu again and again.

The population declined further. Now, I am afraid that the population is only seven or eight hundred thousand, or even less. The geographical location of Xuzhou is the Central Plains, the land of four wars.

In addition, it is open on all sides, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

And it may have to face Cao Ying, Sun Ce and other two forces, so Xuzhou is of little value. It's worse than chicken ribs, and it's a pity that chicken ribs are abandoned.

With that energy and troops, plotting to seize Jingzhou is the last word. Jingzhou not only has the danger of Hanchuan, but also the defense power of Xiangshui, and has a household registration of one million.

If you swallow it, you will become fat in one bite.

But since Xuzhou is meaningless, why does Chen Sheng have another purpose for Xuzhou besides rescuing Lu Bu, Cao Ying's enemy?

Some.

Chen Sheng wanted to befriend Lu Bu.

For Lu Bu, Chen Sheng originally had no sense of dislike. After all, Lu Bu betrayed Ding Yuan, betrayed Dong Zhuo, and became a slave with three surnames, and he was also fighting for his own ambitions.

But being the master of one party is different, Chen Sheng is now full of vigilance against Lu Bu. Therefore, befriending Lu Bu is not for Lu Bu as a person.

It is the soldiers and horses under the command of Lu Bu, the generals Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, the strategist Chen Gong, and the rest of the generals are all rare talents.

The most important thing is that Lu Bu also has a Bingzhou Iron Cavalry under his command, and I don't know how many people are left, but it is definitely not less than a thousand.

If you have this iron cavalry, you can expand the cavalry strength for the purpose of moving to the Central Plains.

Therefore, Chen Sheng wanted to befriend Lu Bu.

And befriending Lu Bu, of course, is the best way to save your life. Therefore, Chen Sheng wanted to rescue Lu Bu once.

Why did you say that you rescued Lu Bu once? Because according to Chen Sheng's speculation, Cao Ying had two opportunities to attack Xuzhou, in history, before the Battle of Guandu, Cao Ying's first crusade against Xuzhou was to crusade against Lü Bu, and the second time was because Liu Bei killed Che Zhou and occupied Xuzhou again, so he launched a second crusade.

Therefore, if the rescue of Lu Bu is successful, Cao Ying is very likely to launch a second battle to attack Xuzhou.

The second time, Chen Sheng didn't rescue him.

In history, Lu Bu was defeated in Xiapi, and that was because there was no rescue. Yuan Shu didn't save him, and the princes of the whole world didn't trust him, so he had no choice but to sit in trapping.

And Chen Sheng believed that since he rescued Lu Bu once, Lu Bu would trust him, and when he was trapped in Xiapi, he led elite soldiers and troops to defect to him.

This is Chen Sheng's purpose, not Xuzhou, but Lu Bu's troops.

With Lu Bu's troops, he can strengthen the battle for Jingzhou, which has many benefits.

Of course, this is just a plan. Lu Bu may not defect to him, but even if Lu Bu does not defect to him, rescue Lu Bu once, block Cao Ying, and make it difficult for Cao Ying's power to expand to the southeast.

Chen Sheng felt that it was also necessary.

Anyway, the Wancheng forces will open a new page, a page of attack.

And Chen Sheng's purpose for the first time was not Xuzhou, not Jingzhou, but the elite soldiers under Lu Bu, Tie Cai, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Chen Gong and other generals.

However, how to do this has to be planned.

As I said earlier, the place of the four battles in Xuzhou is open and flat, if Cao's army goes south, the iron cavalry is vertical and horizontal, and the three Chen Sheng may not be Cao Ying's opponents.

Chen Sheng believes this very much.

Because, against Cao Ying in a row, it was just because he was sticking to the city and had Liu Biao as a foreign aid.

Since the three Chen Sheng may not be able to defeat Cao Ying in Xuzhou, how to rescue Lu Bu?

If you don't plan, I'm really sorry for my surname.
