Chapter 166: Changes in Jingzhou

Defeated Cao Ying and solved the trap of Wancheng twice. Chen Sheng felt that he had overcome the biggest difficulty, and began to focus on attacking.

That is, to compensate the dead and wounded soldiers, and to reward them greatly, and to thickly encircle Cao's army to surrender his troops.

Then he formulated a strategy and set his greedy eyes on Lu Bu, the fat sheep, hoping to take the opportunity to receive Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, elite soldiers, and the generals Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, and the great strategist Chen Gong, etc.

It can be said that it is both ambitious and actively prepared.

The entire Wancheng force, under Chen Sheng's full operation, is almost every trace of manpower and material resources are emanating, all for Chen Sheng's strength, so as to truly kill Cao Ying, in addition to the number one enemy's goal and advance.

But Jingzhou has changed.

In order to cater to Chen Sheng's plan to pursue Cao Ying, he selected 6,000 elite soldiers to help Chen Sheng, but he did not catch half of the prisoners, and lost many soldiers and horses.

The most important thing is that Wen Ping, Wang Wei's heart is uneasy about Chen Sheng's ability, courage, and the growth of his troops.

After the two led their troops back to Xiangyang, they ordered the soldiers to set up camp, and immediately rode their horses into Xiangyang and went to the Zhennan General's Mansion.

The two of them came back just in time, and were told by the guards that Liu Biaozheng was discussing important matters with Cai Mao and Kuai Yue in the hall. The two of them immediately went to the hall without stopping.

After arriving at the door of the hall, the two of them saw Liu Biao and Cai Mao, kneeling in the shape of Kuai Yue, and discussing something softly.

"Meet my lord."

The two glanced at each other, tidied up their appearance a little, and walked in. After arriving in front of Liu Biao, he saluted respectfully.

"The two generals have worked hard all the way. Sit. Liu Biao was originally in Kuaiyue, Cai Mao discussed major matters, and when he saw Wen Ping, Wang Wei walked in, couldn't help but smile a little, and said cordially.

"Thank you, Lord." Wen Ping, Wang Wei thanked him, and knelt down under Cai Mao and Kuai Yue respectively.

"In the battle of Wancheng, Lone has already seen the battle table. The two generals did a very good job and showed the momentum of Jingzhou. As soon as the two sat down, Liu Biao expressed his appreciation without hesitation.

But Liu Biao is in charge of Jingchu, and he is not just old and mediocre, if he doesn't have a few means, he won't have such a loyal minister as Wang Wei and Wenpin.

After listening to Liu Biao's words, Wang Wei and Wen Ping were both grateful, and they couldn't wait to go to the frontier immediately to make contributions to the Lord.

However, the two of them were finally calm people and quickly calmed down.

"The reason why we were able to defeat Cao Ying in this battle was all because Chen Sheng planned properly." Wen Ping remembered his vigilance against Chen Sheng, and couldn't help but take the opportunity to tell Liu Biao about Chen Sheng's threatening power, so he groaned for a while, and analyzed the role, strategy, and courage that Chen Sheng played in this battle to Liu Biao one by one.

"Lord, that Chen Sheng is indeed a rare masterpiece, I don't think it's worse than Jiangdong Sun Ce." Wang Wei also said on the side.

Immediately, both of them raised their heads to look at Liu Biao, they were both a little nervous, although their loyalty to Liu Biao would not waver like a mountain, but the two of them were also deeply worried about Liu Biao's lack of military knowledge.

I was afraid that my words just made Liu Biao disagree.

But what was surprising was that Liu Biao's face not only did not show disapproval, Liu Biao also nodded at them very solemnly, and said with a sigh: "Zhang Xiu's cousin is indeed much more difficult to deal with than Zhang Xiu." ”

Wang Wei, Wen Ping showed some doubts, when did the lord become so dignified about the small Wancheng forces.

"Just now, when the two generals hadn't arrived yet, Lone and De Jue talked about the situation in Jingzhou, and the most threatening one was Chen Sheng."

Liu Biao glanced at Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and sighed.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue both showed a solemn expression, and nodded towards Wen Ping and Wang Wei.

Then, Liu Biao exhaled again, and then said: "In the war, Chen Sheng was at a disadvantage and isolated. Only by relying on the power of loneliness can we survive. But after this battle, Cao Ying was no longer able to go south. The threat of his north is gone. And his own strength has not only not decreased, but may have increased because of the surrender of Cao Ying's elite soldiers. On the contrary, our elite soldiers in Jingzhou lost a lot in this battle. This bone, I'm afraid I can't even gnaw it alone. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Biao glanced at Kuai Yue and sighed: "Just now, Xenodu and Gu analyzed it. Since this tiger wolf is no longer a threat, he will have different intentions, and he is afraid that he will have bad thoughts about the master of Lone. ”

Yes, in Liu Biao's heart, Zhang Xiu, who is a force in Wancheng, has always been treated like a dog. I don't have enough to eat, but I don't go hungry.

With Zhang Xiu's Xiliang elite soldiers, he guarded Wancheng to hold off the attack of Cao Ying in the north.

And Liu Biao's purpose was also achieved, with the help of Zhang Xiu, the northern part of Jingzhou has been very safe, so Liu Biao was able to spare his efforts to deal with the expansion of Sun Ce in Jiangdong.

Therefore, when Chen Sheng took over Wancheng, even though Liu Biao was a little wary of Chen Sheng, he remained the same in most respects, and he still regarded Chen Sheng as his own dog.

But just now, Kuai Yue analyzed the situation in Wancheng and asserted that since Chen Sheng was not a threat on the outside, he would have ambitions on the inside, and he was afraid that he would become a white-eyed wolf who could not be raised.

In addition, Cai Mao took the opportunity to say some bad things about Chen Sheng, and Liu Biao'er was soft-rooted, and gradually listened to it, and regarded Chen Sheng as a brave and warlike and unruly person like Sun Ce.

A huge threat.

It also coincides with Wang Wei and Wenpin.

After listening to Liu Biao's explanation, Wang Wei and Wen Ping were surprised and delighted, as long as the lord could be vigilant against Chen Sheng, then Jingzhou would never be lost.

In the hearts of the two, Liu Biao is also the kind of existence like Optimus Prime, who single-handedly entered Jingzhou and secured the position of Jingzhou Mu.

"Then please give the lord more baggage, strong men, and the last general will train elite soldiers to fight against Chen Sheng." Wen Ping, Wang Wei was excited for a moment, and then asked for his life in unison.

In the eyes of the two, since they have determined that Chen Sheng is a threat, it is time to recruit elite soldiers to take precautions. As for the attack, the two didn't think about it.

Chen Sheng's brave and warlike generals, who are not afraid of life and death, are as many as cattle hairs, and they have seized Wancheng, which is not so easy to deal with. Cao Ying has failed twice, and no matter how proud they are, they don't think they can compare to Cao Ying.

In this case, the only way is to keep it. Recruiting elite soldiers, boating the rivers and lakes, and sitting in Xiangyang, Chen Sheng's forces could not advance an inch.

This is the general's solution. However, Liu Biao, no, it is a better way to solve the problem than Kuai Yue, the great strategist under Liu Biao.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao glanced at Kuai Yue, and saw this important minister of Jingzhou, that is, dignified, outstanding, dignified and steady, and the posture of kneeling and sitting was like a needle of the sea god, which could set the Quartet.

With this adviser, why should he be worried.

Glancing at Kuai Yue, Liu Biao's heart was full of excitement. Then, Liu Biao was hired, and Wang Wei said with a smile: "In this battle, the two generals have worked hard and made great achievements, and it is appropriate to expand the number of soldiers." Lone allowed the two generals to expand the battalion to 6,000 soldiers. ”

Wen hired, Wang Wei was overjoyed when he heard it.

In the entire Jingzhou general, the two of them are like a group of people. The elite soldiers under his command are also the few elite soldiers in Jingzhou.

However, before that, there were not many elite soldiers of the two. Wenpin has 6,000 members, which is considered full, and Wang Wei's elite soldiers are only 4,000, adding up to 10,000.

Now as soon as Liu Biao opened his mouth, he increased the number of elite soldiers under Wang Wei's jurisdiction to six thousand. The two of them add up to 12,000. Coupled with the Xiangjiang naval army, as well as the rest of the miscellaneous army, the two were immediately full of confidence in holding Xiangyang.

Involuntarily, the two of them bowed to Liu Biao and said, "The lord is wise." ”

"I'm not done yet." Liu Biao's ears are soft, and he is called wise, so he is naturally extremely happy, and the color of enjoyment in his eyes flashes away. But then, he said with a straight face: "I just said that the different degrees have a clever plan." And his clever plan is to reduce the food supply to Wancheng. ”

"I see, even if Chen Sheng has a thief's heart, I'm afraid he won't have the power to be a thief."

Before Liu Biao's words fell, Wang Wei understood, and he couldn't help but rejoice.

"Yes, according to intelligence, Chen Sheng's troops in Wancheng and the surrounding cities are as many as 24,000, and there are 12,000 troops in Runan, adding up to 36,000. And Jingzhou has a vast land of thousands of miles, with a household registration of one million, but only 100,000 soldiers. Chen Sheng raised 36,000 elite soldiers according to such a few cities, land, and population, which was really huge to the point of bloating. As long as his food is contained, everything about him is contained. ”

Liu Biao nodded happily and said. Immediately, Liu Biao smiled again and said: "Chen Sheng's soldiers are many generals, and the elite soldiers under his command are brave and good at fighting, which is the reason why he is strong. But because of this, it is also the reason why it is weak. As long as the grain and grass are contained, he will be in chaos again. ”

Saying that, Liu Biao glanced at Wen Ping and Wang Wei again, and said with a smile: "Plus the two generals train elite soldiers, so you can sit back and relax." ”

"I will live up to the expectations of my lord."

Wen Ping, Wang Weiqi raised his fist and said.

"Hahaha."

Liu Biao laughed.

"Gu heard that Chen Sheng defeated Cao Ying, and set up a huge celebration banquet. and rewarded the army, and compensated the soldiers. Lone nature will not fall behind him, and the mercy and reward are ready. The celebration banquet was set up in the evening, and when the time came, Gu sent someone to summon the two generals. And now, the two generals go down and receive their reward. ”

After laughing, Liu Biao looked at Wen Ping again, and Wang Wei said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord."

Hearing that the rewards are rich and the literature is hired, Wang Wei is happy again, and the famous generals cherish the soldiers, which is universal. So, I couldn't help but thank you happily.

Not long after, Wen Ping and Wang Wei left happily.

"Little Chen Sheng can't turn the sky upside down." After Wen Ping and Wang Wei left, Liu Biao glanced at Cai Mao with a smile, Kuai Yue, and said.

Kuai Yue smiled and didn't say anything. However, the ruthless color in Cai Mao's eyes flashed away, and Chen Sheng's revenge for killing his son should be settled.
