Chapter 133: Firmly follow the path of hegemony
"General, Wu Guang, Lu Zhu and other generals questioned the general in public, which is indeed wrong. But they are all brave and good fighters, and they are the elite of the army. It would be a great loss to let them leave the army. ”
Just when Chen Sheng was overjoyed, Hu Che'er spoke, his voice slightly low.
Chen Sheng looked up at Hu Che'er when he heard this, and found that Hu Che'er not only had a low voice, but also looked a little lost. Obviously, Hu Che'er resolutely defended Chen Sheng just now, but in fact, he didn't want to watch Wu Guang and the others leave.
After Chen Sheng glanced at Hu Che'er, he glanced at the people in the hall and found that except for Jia Xu, Wei Yan, Liao Hua, and Zhou Cang, the rest were more or less lost, which caused morale to be a little low.
However, these are all expected by Chen Sheng, although this rectification of military power, although it did not actually take away the military power of the generals, but it made these generals, from Zhonglang generals and captains, to a lower level of military candidates.
Not only that, but it also made Wu Guang, Lu Ji and others leave in a bad mood, and it is strange that the morale can be high.
Since it was expected, Chen Sheng certainly had a solution. The means of boosting morale is very simple, and that is to give a good future.
In Chen Sheng's heart, before Zhang Xiu's death, he never had the heart of a king. However, Chen Sheng once wanted to design and helped Zhang embroider it.
So, Chen Sheng made a set of plans.
Conquering Runan and opening the road connecting Yuan Shu and Lu Bu was the first half of Chen Sheng's plan. In other words, Chen Sheng still has a half-step plan, and this half-step plan is the real essence.
It is the existence that truly leads to the road to the king.
Chen Sheng wanted to tell Zhang Xiu about this plan, but unfortunately Zhang Xiu had no enterprising heart. Chen Sheng temporarily hid it in his heart, afraid of frightening Zhang Xiu.
Therefore, this plan is only known to Chen Sheng alone. And now is the time to announce this plan and boost morale.
Thinking about it, Chen Sheng took a deep breath, and then asked everyone: "And today's chaos and the annexation of the princes, what do you think Nanyang should do next?" ”
Originally, this was the first time that Chen Sheng had summoned everyone since he ascended the throne, and everyone thought that Chen Sheng wanted to discuss future events with them. Unexpectedly, what Chen Sheng did was to rectify the military power, which made everyone's hearts cold.
And now that Chen Sheng said this sentence again, it seemed that he wanted to discuss the future, which suddenly lifted everyone's hearts.
"Naturally, it is to gather soldiers, start a war with Cao Ying, and by the way, learn from Sun Ce, fight more cities, and become a king."
"Yes, we are fighting Cao Ying while attacking the city."
Everyone offered advice.
Chen Sheng really didn't think much of what these Xiliang fierce people thought. But on the surface, he was silent and said: "Nanyang is weak, and it is already very difficult to defend against Cao Ying. How to start a big war with Cao Ying, or even conquer the city? ”
"Uh."
This made everyone a little speechless and embarrassed. After half a ring, the military waiter said: "We are an alliance with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and we can unite Liu Biao's forces and fight with Cao Ying." ”
"Yes, Liu Biao sits in Jingzhou, with 100,000 armor, and is definitely a great prince at the same height as Cao Ying. If we unite, Cao Ying will be defeated. ”
A military candidate immediately spoke and said with confidence.
"There's some truth to that." Chen Sheng said with a smile when he heard this. But then, Chen Sheng changed his words and said: "It's just that uniting with others is just a matter of relying on people's snorts, and borrowing power is always someone else's, the flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water." It is better to have the forces in your own hands and the strength to come. ”
"General, do you want to annex Liu Biao?" There was a round-faced military officer who somewhat understood Chen Sheng's thoughts, and immediately stammered and asked.
"Why not?" Chen Sheng looked at the round-faced soldier with a smile and asked.
"Isn't this the enemy of Cao Ying and Liu Biao at the same time?" The round-faced soldier shuddered.
Not only the round-faced soldiers, but the rest of the soldiers were also a little pale. It's true that they're Xiliang fierce people, but they're not brainless guys.
Facing enemies on both sides, and they are both the two most powerful forces in the world today, isn't this looking for death?
"Enemies with Cao Ying and Liu Biao at the same time? Although I, Chen Sheng, am proud, but I am not arrogant, how dare I make enemies at the same time? Chen Sheng said with a smile.
"And the general is this?" Seeing that Chen Sheng was quite calm, the round-faced military hou first breathed a sigh of relief, but then wondered.
"Although Cao Ying is strong, he is not without opponents. His opponent is Yuan Shao in the north. There is a huge difference in the power of the two, and Yuan Shao has long had the intention of annexing Cao Ying, so there must be a battle between the two. Either way, this battle is sure to continue for some time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we may not be able to capture Jingzhou according to Nanyang's elite superiority. Chen Sheng took a deep breath, and the words he said were sonorous.
"General, that Liu Biao has 100,000 armor, and Jingzhou is also very rich." A military candidate reminded him that the implication was that it would be difficult for Chen Sheng to annex Jingzhou, even if he had the opportunity.
"Liu Biao is a person who is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, has talents but can't use them, has armor soldiers but no military strategy, and can be said to be a mediocre talent in troubled times. Annexing this person is a breeze. Chen Sheng showed a confident look and said.
"It's easier said than done." The military candidates muttered in their hearts, but Chen Shengzhan revealed the intention of annexing Jingzhou, which made the military candidates full of longing for the future.
Although the military candidates think that Chen Sheng is mostly bragging, he also has a hope, right?
"Are you scared?" Chen Sheng sensed the complex mentality of longing and unbelief in the hearts of the soldiers, and couldn't help but ask deliberately.
"How can we, if we can raise troops to attack Jingzhou, we are all very hot-blooded." The soldiers hurriedly denied it.
"That's good. If you are so simply frightened, how can you continue to conquer the south with me? Chen Sheng pretended to be relaxed.
"The general still has a plan?" The soldiers were a little numb.
"Nature." Chen Sheng nodded very naturally, paused, and said: "Just like Sun Ce of Jiangdong, this person is as brave as the overlord of Western Chu and reborn, but he has a weakness, that is, he loves to kill people and love hunting. Killing someone is tantamount to making a feud with someone, and loving safari is tantamount to giving the Assassin an opportunity. Therefore, Jiangdong Sun Ce, the enemy of the horseman. ”
Of course, Sun Ce is not the enemy of the horseman, Chen Sheng deliberately belittled Sun Ce in order to boost morale and show a bright future.
When the soldiers heard this, their eyes really lit up.
"Next is Yizhou Liu Zhang, the lord of darkness. Although it is located in the country of abundance in Yizhou, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, but it is just a lamb to be slaughtered. It's not hard to get it. Therefore, my goal is to take Jingchu first, and then Yizhou, or Jiangdong for several uses. In this way, the business of the king can be accomplished. In this way, it can be regarded as its own force, and it can fight to the death with Cao Ying. If you can win the battle, then the world will also be at your fingertips. What do you think? ”
In the end, Chen Sheng was confident and radiant.
What kind of ploy is this? Isn't this the Shu Han route? However, Chen Sheng did not stand on his feet, but first swallowed Jingzhou, and then swallowed Yizhou or Jiangdong depending on the situation.
After all, Chen Sheng knew that if nothing happened, Sun Ce would die. In a few years, Sun Quan will not be able to become a climate, and it should not be difficult to seize Jiangdong.
If you can gather the southern forces and elites, compete with Cao Ying, and win the battle, it is also promising.
This is all the plan that Chen Sheng originally wanted to dedicate to Zhang Xiu, the cause of Wang Ba, and the road to the founding of the country. It's a pity that Zhang Xiu's life is thin, and now he can only execute it himself.
