Chapter 167: Xu Sheng of Eastern Wu

A military general with a resolute face followed behind Xue Rengui.

Chu Tian was sure that this was Xu Sheng, the famous general of Eastern Wu.

In addition to Sun Jian, Sun Ce and several major governors in Eastern Wu, Gan Ning, Tai Shici, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Ding Feng, and Xu Sheng were the strongest generals.

A military general from Eastern Wu can doubt his land combat ability, but his water combat ability is beyond doubt.

Although Xu Sheng is a diamond-level general, in Chu Tian's eyes, Xu Sheng is more effective than a king-level general in water warfare.

"I have learned of your intentions, you want to borrow troops to defeat Wu Sangui, please forgive me for refusing."

Xu Sheng didn't expect that before he could speak, Chu Tian refused his request.

Xu Sheng's eyes were gloomy, he thought that Chu Tian, who had a mortal enmity with Wu Sangui, would happily lend troops to avenge him. However, he miscalculated.

"In the battle of Yangdu County, you almost shot my favorite general."

When Chu Tian said this, Hua Mulan, who came over, trembled in her heart. That's what the lord thinks......

In fact, Chu Tian just said it casually, which made Xu Sheng feel guilty. If one party feels guilty during the negotiation, then it is passive.

"But ......"

Chu Tian's voice changed, wanting to capture the past.

He found that he could not recruit the generals of the three countries in the usual way.

The examples of Zang Ba and Sun Guan made Chu Tian understand a truth - since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts.

Xu Sheng, who was a little desperate, seemed to grasp the last straw: "As long as you can avenge the revenge of the deceased, you will be able to make a wish!" ”

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but even if I borrow you 10,000 soldiers and horses, you may not be able to defeat Wu Sangui. He annexed the soldiers and horses of Qi Xiaobai, Chang Xuan, and Ling Feng, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and he was on one side......"

Chu Tian deliberately exaggerated Wu Sangui's strength and continued to put pressure on Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng is also not easy to judge who is better than himself or Wu Sangui.

He and Wu Sangui had a shopping fight in the city, and it was not a head-to-head fight.

Wu Sangui was the general soldier of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, the king of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty, and the special class of Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Wu Sangui at his peak, Xu Sheng could not compete with him on land.

Xu Sheng gritted his teeth: "But I'm not reconciled." ”

"I can personally send troops to help you, but you have to pay the price?"

"At what cost?"

"Forever loyal to me, and shall not betray."

Chu Tiantu is poor.

He had already cornered Xu Sheng, and only Chu Tian could avenge him.

Xu Sheng's face changed, and his heart seemed to be struggling, and finally took a deep breath: "I am willing to be loyal." ”

"Ding! You gain the allegiance of the Diamond Commander Xu Sheng. ”

Finally won the first military commander of the Three Kingdoms period!

Chu Tian was calm on the surface, but he was a little excited in his heart.

This feeling of forcing wild generals to submit is even more addictive than using a recruitment order to obtain a general.

was originally supposed to be a military general of Eastern Wu, but he became the first military general of the Three Kingdoms to be subdued by Chutian.

Chu Tian hurriedly glanced at Xu Sheng's attributes.

……

There are no negative characteristics, and although it is not first-class, it can be said to be a very practical general among second-rate generals.

The generals of the Three Kingdoms period were generally of a very high level, Xu Sheng was close to his peak, and his commander and force were 80, no wonder he could fight with Zhou Yafu in the Yangdu War, and he almost shot Mulan.

For Mulan, Chu Tian will not blame Xu Sheng.

For Xu Sheng at that time, he was just working for his lord, and he would never have thought of such a day.

Xu Sheng's characteristic is that the fewer troops he leads, the more capable the troops will be. Theoretically, with dozens or hundreds of soldiers, Xu Sheng can exert his maximum combat power.

However, it is dangerous to have too few troops, and this trait is a double-edged sword, not that powerful. There are almost no bonuses when there are more soldiers, and it is easy to be wiped out when there are fewer soldiers.

There is no such thing as a perfect general.

Chu Tian couldn't expect a diamond-level martial artist to be perfect.

Xu Sheng's loyalty is only 65 points, apparently because he has not completely surrendered.

If you help Xu Sheng take revenge, his loyalty can be greatly improved.

Sure enough, it was difficult to conquer a military general of the Three Kingdoms period. Xu Sheng's allegiance was only temporary, and once he found out that Chu Tian couldn't help him avenge him, he might go into the wilderness.

"I wonder if the lord can send troops now? The last general is familiar with the road to Ju County, as long as the lord sends more than 10,000 troops, it is enough to defeat Wu Sangui. ”

After Xu Sheng defected to Chutian, he couldn't wait to borrow troops to eliminate Wu Sangui.

Chu Tian said, "No. ”

"Why?"

"I need some time to recuperate. Moreover, Wu Sangui has tens of thousands of troops and a strong city, so it is not easy to destroy it in one battle. Besides, the other lords are eyeing me. Either you don't have troops, or you will win or lose in a war. ”

Chutian was not in a hurry to avenge Xu Sheng, and first brought Xu Sheng under his command to stabilize himself.

"When can I send troops?"

"I promise you that within three months the army will be raised. In the meantime, you take care of your injuries first. I don't think you want to fight Wu Sangui with your wounds and die at Wu Sangui's hands. Then what face will you see your old master? ”

"It's the last general who is in a hurry!"

Xu Sheng is not a reckless general, so he can be persuaded.

Because of Chutian's promise that he could send troops within three months, Xu Sheng's loyalty rose to 69 points. Xu Sheng knew that Chu Tian had several powerful cavalry generals under his command, and he had an advantage when fighting on the Yihe River and Shuhe Plains. If Chu Tian planned to personally conquer Wu Sangui, then it was impossible for Chu Tian's generals not to go on the expedition.

Chu Tian's personal expedition to Wu Sangui had a greater chance of victory than Xu Sheng borrowing troops to fight Wu Sangui.

"Next, you and Sun Liuwan are responsible for commanding the Sailor Battalion, you are the chief general, and Sun Liuwan is the deputy general. All the sailors of our summer city will be handed over to you. From now on, you will be the tiger minister of Xia City. ”

Chu Tian patted Xu Sheng's shoulder earnestly to show his attention.

In fact, there were only 500 sailors in Xia City, and most of them were oarsmen...... As for the ships, there were only ten warships and a few sentinels......

Probably feeling Chu Tian's attention and sincerity, Xu Sheng's loyalty rose to 70 points.

Chu Tian recruited the silver-level military general Sun Liuwan, Sun Liuwan's attributes were far from Xu Sheng's, but in order to appease Sun Liuwan, the first commander of the Xiacheng Water Division Battalion, Chu Tian raised his salary as compensation.

So Xu Sheng became the commander of the poor sailor battalion in Xia City.

"General Xu, please come with me, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with our sailor battalion."

Sun Liuwan stepped down from the position of the main general, knowing that his ability was not as good as the water system generals newly subdued by the lord, so he had to be convinced.

"Wait, someone, go to the stable and get a fine Turkic horse."

Chu Tian accepted the first military general of the Three Kingdoms, and in order to show his generosity, he transferred a war horse that Li Shimin had given him to Xu Sheng, and specially emphasized the word "superior".

Each of the historical generals in Xia Cheng has a high-grade war horse, and since Xu Sheng has taken refuge in him, he is also eligible to get a high-grade war horse.

Soon, a few of his own soldiers brought a high-quality Turkic war horse from the stables of the lord's mansion. This horse is one of a group of war horses gifted by the Western Turks to Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the divine horse is abnormal, the fur is neat, and it is obviously carefully cared for.

One such war horse can't be bought without fifty gold, and there is no place to buy it, because there are no Turkic horses in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Xu Sheng saw a war horse that was almost identical to Xue Rengui's mount, and his eyes showed envy and surprise. He didn't expect Xia Cheng to have a second good horse.

Chu Tian pointed to this high-grade Turkic war horse and said to Xu Sheng: "In the future, this war horse will belong to you, I hope you can take good care of it and make contributions." ”

"This horse, the last general?!"

Xu Sheng hadn't reacted at first, but when he really reacted, he showed an expression of disbelief.

A BMW, Chutian will give it when he says it.

He had just taken refuge and had not yet made any credit for Chu Tian.

"The end will be deserved......"

Xu Sheng wanted to refuse Chu Tian, but this high-grade Turkic war horse was too rare.

If it were in Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou, Xu Sheng might not be so eager, but in Xuzhou, diamond-level war horses are absolutely rare.

"When crusading against Wu Sangui, you can make a contribution. Don't look at the fact that there are only five hundred sailors in our summer city, but the scale of the sailors will continue to expand in the next few years. After occupying Xihai County in the future, our naval fleet will crisscross the four seas and raise the prestige of the Eastern Han Dynasty! ”

Chu Tian talked eloquently, outlining the lofty prospects of the Xia City Sailor for Xu Sheng.

As a monarch, you should try to make the cake as big as possible, and whether you can do it is another story......

At least the current Xu Sheng knew that Chu Tian still attached great importance to the water master.

His attention was all on the Turkic war horse, and he couldn't put it down and stroked the mane of the war horse, but finally lost to instinct: "The last general thanks the lord for the reward, in the future battle, the last general will definitely charge forward and fall into battle for the lord!" ”

Chu Tian nodded, he found that Xu Sheng's loyalty had reached 80 points, it seemed that the generals also had a habitual problem, using weapons and war horses to buy them.

Chu Tian secretly said in his heart, thanks to the war horse rewarded by Li Shimin, he could borrow flowers to offer Buddha and buy people's hearts.

However, Li Shimin, as the Khan of Tian, does not seem to lack Turkic war horses.

Before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin rode six war horses, and called the six horses, named Fist Mao, Shi Huachi, White Hoof, Telle Biao, Qing Hu, and Sa Lu Zi.

That level of war horse is the war horse that Li Shimin really values.

Chu Tian now regards the diamond-level Turkic war horses as treasures, and as for the Zhaoling Six Horses-level BMWs, Chu Tian still doesn't want to.

Xu Sheng got the Turkic war horse and couldn't wait to ride it up immediately.

Chu Tian knew his mood, so he waved his hand and said, "You can go down with Sun Liuwan to inspect the Sailor Battalion." The base of the sailor battalion was in Liangshan Town, which was where the sailors were trained, with a larger dock and a better shipyard. ”

"Yes!"

Xu Sheng led the war horse and left the lord's mansion.

"The army led by Xu Sheng once injured you, you won't care, right?"

After Chu Tian subdued Xu Sheng, he appeased Hua Mulan again. After all, Mulan suffered a small loss when she fought against Xu Sheng, and he couldn't help but consider Mulan's feelings.

Hua Mulan replied: "At that time, each is his master, and the end will not be blamed." ”

Chu Tian swept away the haze of running into a wall with Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

Now he has the courage to conquer the generals of the Three Kingdoms.

"You come with me to the dungeon."

Chu Tian planned to conquer Zang Ba and Sun Guan in one go.

Speaking of which, in history, Xu Sheng, who defected to Eastern Wu, also defeated Zang Ba, who defected to Cao Cao, and killed Zang Ba's generals. Xu Sheng's ability is undoubtedly better than Zang Ba's.

Of course, Chu Tian didn't have to choose one person among Xu Sheng and Zang Ba. for he who is greedy wants them all.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan were locked up in the dungeon of Xia City.

"Big brother, it's not a way for us to continue like this. You are so young, with your ability, even if you are a Taishou, why is it difficult? The alien lord has a lot of talents, and now he has occupied Kaiyang and Yangdu counties, and he may have a great future in the future. He promised us at least one general or a guard, and this kind of treatment was already good. You see that he has good food delivered every day, and there is good wine every other day, which is a thirst for talent. If it were an ordinary dog officer, he would have killed us a long time ago......"

Sun Guan tried his best to persuade Zang Ba to surrender in the dungeon.

Zang Ba surrendered to Chutian, and he had a reason to live.

Facts have proved that it was wrong for Chu Tian to directly persuade Zang Ba at the beginning, and Fang Xuanling persuaded Chu Tian to persuade Sun Guan to surrender, and it was effective to persuade Zang Ba through Sun Guan.

Even if Zang Ba was unwilling to lose to Chu Tian and was nagged by Sun Guan for a month, his determination would inevitably waver.

Just imagine, your good brother has been brainwashing you for a month, you are locked up in the same cell as him, even if you don't want to listen, you can't do it, no matter how strong your will is, you will doubt life.

The current Zang Ba has been persuaded by Sun Guan for the most part.

This is also Fang Xuanling's cleverness.

The iron door of the cell opened, footsteps sounded, and Chu Tian took Xue Rengui to the dungeon to visit the two historical generals who had been captured by him.

Don't want historical generals who you can't recruit, or you will add trouble to yourself in the future.

"What do you two think?"

Chu Tian was in high spirits this time and no longer felt depressed.

This time, Zang Ba finally spoke: "Let the generals who captured me last time duel with me, if I lose, I am willing to surrender." If I prevail, let our brother go. ”

"That's what you said......"

As soon as Chu Tian heard that there was a turnaround, Zang Ba actually wanted to fight with Mulan, Mulan's current force is 91, it is estimated that Zang Ba does not know the gap between them, and is still feeling angry about being captured by a woman.
