Cheng Fang did not wait for the return of Yan Liang and other generals, but rode his horse and galloped in the direction of Plains City, since only by occupying a hundred cities can he start the war Gu, then this Plains City will become his initial city, after all, this city can be described as the starting point of his legendary life!
Plains City belongs to the city under Yuan Shao's jurisdiction, and knowing that Cheng Fang, an existence that can be called the god of war, came here and was responsible for guarding the city, Guo Tu and others were shocked and abandoned the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Looking at the city data, Cheng Fang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this plain city can be described as stormy, after several wars, but under the ups and downs, it has failed to become a real heroic city!
Now that Cheng Fang is here, this is not only the first city under his jurisdiction, but also the first step for him to implement the so-called Pure Land on Earth!
"Where is Xing Chengyu!" Cheng Fang is located in the Taishou Mansion and begins to summon the life guardian star, Cheng Fang!
"The lower official is here!" transformed Xing Cheng Yu from the void, and then stood in front of Cheng Fang, expressing absolute loyalty and absolute surrender!
Cheng Fang nodded and said: "From now on, this place will be exempted from taxes for three years, and civilians will be encouraged to develop the surrounding wasteland, and I will build this place into a real pure land of bliss where the people can live with food, clothing, little support, and old age."
"The lord is wise!"
Cheng Yu can be described as a state-governing talent, Cheng Fang was quite relieved to explain these things to him, and then Cheng Fang promulgated a series of pro-people policies in the name of Taishou, developing commerce, rectifying public security, recruiting soldiers, building city walls, and searching for talents!
Cheng Fang's series of measures can be described as practical, and on the second day of the edict, celebrities such as Yang Chou and Guan Lu came to vote.
Cheng Fang personally received him, naturally enveloped him under his command, and arranged relevant work for him. In this way, on the fifth day that Cheng Fang came to Pingyuan City, this chaotic city was managed by Cheng Fang in an orderly manner, which can be said to be unbroken and not closed at night!
Cheng Fang sent Yang Chou to lead the militia to form a wasteland clearing team to reclaim farmland outside the plain city, and then distribute it to civilians who were living in difficulty, so that they had the capital to live a good life!
One day, Cheng Fang heard that this person in charge of the bank actually knew astronomy and geography, and he was a famous Mr. Yunyou within a radius of 100 miles. Of course, his intelligence is extremely high, and he is a rare military teacher-type talent!
In order to envelop the management, Cheng Fang personally feasted and told him about his Pure Land plan of Bliss!
"The lord has such a benevolent heart, and he is grateful for the grace of the lord for the many civilians in Plains City!"
Hearing Cheng Fang's remarks that the world is full of pure land, Guan Zhen bowed on the spot, and he expressed his willingness to do his best for the Lord and die!
"Good!" Cheng Fang was full of expectations, and then, at Cheng Yu's suggestion, he appointed the manager in charge of business development, giving preferential treatment to the Foryou merchants, so that they could completely take root here and become the fresh blood that drives this city!
To say that Guan Lu is worthy of being a military and teacher-type talent, he has just been appointed and introduced a talented person to Cheng Fang!
This person's name is Wang Cang, and he is one of the seven sons of Jian'an known in later generations! He understood Cheng Fang's plan, and was immediately impressed by Cheng Fang's thoughts like Guan Zhen, and expressed his willingness to surrender to Cheng Fang's command and serve his dogs and horses!
The seven sons of Jian'an are the general name of the seven famous people of the dynasty, they are Wang Cang, Chen Lin, Kong Rong, Xu Gan, Ruan Yu, Ying Ling, and Liu Zhen.
These seven people generally represent the morale of Jian'an in addition to Cao's father and son excellent literary authors, so the seven sons have been widely recognized by later generations, and they have contributed to the development of poetry, songs, prose and so on!
"Good!"
In order to show his attention, he appointed Wang Cang as the master of the plains, and searched for talents with Guan Lu to recruit celebrities!
With the joint efforts of Guan Luo and Wang Cang, they successively recruited Wei You, Lu Xiang and other celebrities to serve Cheng Fang!
Now that the momentum of Plains City is very good, it is just around the corner to become a famous city! But as the saying goes, nothing can be smooth sailing!
On the fifteenth day after Cheng Fang settled in Pingyuan City, it suddenly rained heavily, so that a flash flood broke out, causing thousands of civilians and thousands of acres of fertile land to be fatally hit!
Cheng Fang implemented a temporary plan and sent Wei You and others to lead the army to dig drainage canals to divert mountain floods and drain them, so that these affected people would not face secondary losses!
This rain can be described as extremely large, and the land of Zhongzhou is hidden in some unknown cloud!
"Newspaper~~"
Just when Cheng Fang, the strategists, and generals were discussing the next plan to settle the people, a piece of news completely made Cheng Fang's heart sink to the bottom!
"Lord Qi, General Yan Liang, who was in charge of pursuing Yuan Shao, was ambushed by Yuan Shao's army and suffered heavy losses! Now that General Yan Liang and others have withdrawn to Pingyuan City, please make it clear! ”
"What? Defeated? Cheng Fang's brows suddenly furrowed!
You must know that Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Henai are famous generals in Hebei, plus the two highly intelligent military advisors Tian Feng is frustrated, how can they be defeated? He Yuan Shao really has such strength, this is simply incredible!
Cheng Fang drank and retreated the heralds, and then ordered Guan Lu and others to continue to discuss, while he left the Taishou Mansion alone and found Yan Liang and others in the drizzle!
"If you are a lowly officer, you will be entrusted by the Lord, and your sin deserves death. Please, the Lord surrenders!! ”
Yan Liang's three generals explained that they looked embarrassed, they were covered in injuries, and they looked quite weak under the soaking of the rain!
"It's not your fault for this matter, it's me who underestimated Yuan Shao too much!"
Cheng Fang set up a temporary camp outside the city of Pingyuan, and hired all the doctors in the city to come here to diagnose and treat the injuries of the soldiers, in case they fell ill and died of their injuries!
"What the hell is going on?"
In contrast, the injuries of the two military divisions were relatively minor, and after simple diagnosis and treatment, they were already healed. Cheng Fang invited these two to the Chinese military tent and asked them the reason for the defeat!
"Back to my lord!" Tian Feng said with a look of shame: "We are waiting to hunt down Yuan Shao, and when I see it, I can capture it and dedicate it to the lord, who would have thought that just when we were about to succeed, we suddenly killed a tall military general holding a thunder gun and controlling strange monsters, this person has excellent martial arts, can be called invincible, the three generals joined forces and actually lost to Sanhe under his hands, and finally they were all injured and defeated!" ”
"Is there such a thing?" Cheng Fang listened, his brows couldn't help frowning!
You must know that the strength of Yan Liang's three generals has reached a terrifying number of six hundred, and he can defeat three enemies in an instant, so this person's force must have reached a terrifying point!
"Did you ever know the identity of this person, where did he come from?"
"My subordinates don't know!" Frustrated, his face full of fear for the rest of his life.
"Oh, yes!" Fu Zhu seemed to think of something, and suddenly spoke: "Xia Guan heard that Yuan Shao called him king, and he seems to call himself 'overlord'!" ”
