    On this day, the sky cleared and it was a very sunny day.  Logically speaking, in this kind of weather, there should be many businessmen, travelers, and ordinary people entering the city.  However, because the war had just ended, there were very few people around.  This is a sequelae of the war, and there is really nothing we can do about it.  And this day was the third day since Chen Sheng led his troops to pursue Cao Cao and won a great victory.  In the south of Wancheng, Chen Sheng led Zhou Cang and some of his soldiers to see off Wang Wei and Wenpin.  Originally, Wang Wei and Wenpin were supposed to leave yesterday.  It¡¯s just that at the celebration banquet that night, Wang Wei also drank heavily and was not fully awake the next day, so he was delayed for another day.  "Two generals, take care." Chen Sheng said to Wang Wei sincerely, Wenpin cupped his fists.  Opposite Wang Wei¡¯s spirit was still a little weak, and he had not yet fully recovered from his drunkenness.  However, Wenpin's spirit was very good. Faced with Chen Sheng's overtures, Wenpin remained unmoved and just stayed in the military camp.  This point made Chen Sheng feel a pity, and he also respected Wen Ping even more.  This is a good general.  "General Chen, take care, too." Wenpin and Wang Wei also returned the gift.  By the way, they gave Chen Sheng a serious look, and then the two of them turned around, got on their horses, and led the army away slowly.  This time it was quite pleasant to join forces together and achieve the goal of defeating Cao Cao.  But next time, I'm afraid both sides will be enemies.  Regardless of Wenpin, Wang Wei is a very far-sighted general, and they are all prepared for this.  "These two generals are brave and adept at fighting and abide by their duties. They are truly famous generals in Jingzhou." Zhou Cang sighed and said.  The implication is that he is a formidable enemy.  Even Zhou Cang can see this.  "Do your own business first. It's too early to plan to capture Jingzhou." Chen Sheng said in a personal voice, then got on his horse and led Zhou Cang and others into the city, and went straight into the general's mansion and the hall.  When Chen Sheng returned to the general hall, all civil and military officials were already present.  Jia Xu, Hu Cheer, 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 became excited again. Although they were rare and deserted, they were all elites. Together with Zhao Yun, they were much better than Liu Biao.  After cheering up, Chen Sheng went straight to the first seat and knelt down, while Zhou Cang followed closely behind and finally stood beside Chen Sheng.  "General." After Chen Sheng knelt down and sat down, the civil and military officers all saluted Chen Sheng.  "We are all our own people, so there is no need to be so polite." Chen Sheng said.  When the civil and military officials heard this, they turned a deaf ear to it. The etiquette should not be abolished.  And Chen Sheng just said it casually and didn't care.  Therefore, Chen Sheng soon said: "Wenpin, Wang Wei has left. This means that the alliance between us and Jingzhou has come to an end. Next, we may not fall out soon, but with the strength of our troops in Wancheng  As we grow stronger, the relationship between the two parties may become cold and alienated. You should be prepared. "General, don't worry, we will not slack off," Liao Hua said, raising his fist.  "Exactly, the general's plan to devour Jingzhou. We have never forgotten it and trained elite soldiers day and night for use in the war." Hu Che'er also said seriously from the side.  "Well, that's good." Chen Sheng was very satisfied when he saw that the generals did not slack off because of the temporary victory, and never forgot to attack Jingzhou, and nodded.  "When talking about elite soldiers, we must pay attention to two points." When talking about elite soldiers, Chen Sheng had some ideas and couldn't help but say to the civil and military personnel.  "General, please give me your instructions." Wei Yan and others responded in unison.  "First, the wounded and injured soldiers must be generously compensated and try their best. This is more important than anything else. I leave this to Wen He." Chen Sheng said solemnly, and finally turned his head to look at Jia Xu and said solemnly  explained.  "No." Jia Xu was still the same, not saying much.  But Chen Sheng trusted Jia Xu very much. This counselor did things safely.  "Another point is that Cao's army surrendered. I fought with Cao Hong and surrendered thousands of people. I fought with Cao Ren and surrendered thousands more. Now Cao's army accounts for a very large proportion in the army. I ask you  If you have any difficulty, you can come to me directly." After explaining the first thing, Chen Sheng turned to the generals and said solemnly.  said.  The first thing is to provide compensation to the wounded soldiers.  The second thing is to prevent Cao Jun from surrendering and fleeing.  Only when it comes to military matters can Chen Sheng be so solemn and serious.  "Promise." The generals also agreed loudly, expressing their understanding.    And Chen Sheng is also very relieved, they are all elites, and as long as they are not careless, there will be no problems.  After explaining these two issues, Chen Sheng felt relieved. He discussed the details with the generals and then let them go.  "For me, this can be regarded as turning another page." After the generals left, Chen Sheng stood up and moved to attack. He walked outside the hall door, looked up at the sky, and made a sound of relief.  ??Historically, Zhang Xiu¡¯s power did not have any advantages except for the elite soldiers of Xiliang and the civil and military pair of Jia Xu and Hu Che¡¯er.  Therefore, Chen Sheng chose to lobby Cao Cao and get through safely.  I don't have any ambitions after that. It would be great to have some status and keep concubines.  "But fate played a joke on him. It was just that he failed to lobby Cao Cao, and he was humiliated.  In anger, he actually supported Zhang Xiu to fight Cao Cao.  After a battle and killing Dian Wei, Cao Ang and others, he found that the road ahead was bumpy and full of thorns.  With Zhang Xiu's power, it would be too difficult to fight against Cao Cao.  So, he trained elite soldiers, recruited strong generals, and prepared to fight Cao Cao again.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu was ambushed on the way, injured, and eventually died of illness.  This burden suddenly fell on him.  Fortunately, he had high prestige and quickly integrated his soldiers, and designed to attract Liu Biao's reinforcements, repelling Cao Cao again.  Looking back, I have been working very hard on this journey, and it could be ruined at any time.  Looking back, a cold sweat is inevitable.  But now it¡¯s different.  What happened in history, Cao Cao's second conquest of Wancheng has ended.  Next, Cao Cao should turn around to deal with Lu Bu and Yuan Shao.  In other words, Cao Cao did not have the ability to conquer Wancheng for the third time.  In other words, the time for defense is over and it¡¯s time to attack.  So Chen Sheng felt relieved and said, "It can be considered a new page." After feeling relieved, Chen Sheng walked around casually and relaxed a bit.  It can be said that Chen Sheng's mood at this moment is the most relaxing moment since he traveled to this era.  However, it was only a quarter of an hour.  In the final analysis, Chen Sheng still worked hard, running and running for his own survival and future. He could not truly relax until the moment of Cao Cao's death.  No, after just relaxing for a while, Chen Sheng began to think about the changes in history.  After experiencing the second battle of Wancheng, there is no doubt that Cao Cao will point the finger at Lu Bu.  Liu Bei and Lu Bu, the enemies, will put an end to their feud in this battle of Xuzhou.  Lu Bu died in the battle, Gao Shun and Chen Gong died together, and Zhang Liao and other generals surrendered to Cao Cao.  Lu Bu's power was wiped out.  For this war, Chen Sheng had already laid an ambush.  He persuaded Zhang Xiu that attacking Liu Pi and others in Runan was not just about opening up territory and expanding territory.  It was to contact Yuan Shu and Lu Bu.  Finally, the goal of rescuing Lu Bu was achieved.  There is a saying that goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.  Therefore, it is necessary to rescue Lu Bu.  However, is Chen Sheng's ultimate goal as simple as rescuing Lu Bu?     of course not.  Are you plotting to seize Xuzhou?  Of course not.  Xuzhou was a treasure land during Tao Qian's time, with a household registration of one million. This million household registration is a bit general, and the population is about two to three million.  Wealthy and powerful.  "It's a pity that Cao Cao massacred dozens of people in the city and left it in a very dilapidated state.  After Liu Bei took over, it was still a good business.  As a result, he could not hold on and fought with Lu Bu repeatedly.  The population declined further.  By now, the population is probably only seven to eight million, or even less.  The geographical location of Xuzhou is the Central Plains, the place where the Four Wars took place.  In addition, it is open on all sides, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend.  And it may have to face Cao Cao, Sun Ce and other two forces. Therefore, Xuzhou is of little value.  It's worse than tasteless, and it's a pity to throw away the tasteless ones.  With that energy and military strength, it is the last word to capture Jingzhou.  Jingzhou not only has the danger and solidity of Hanchuan River, but also has the defensive power of Xiangshui River, and has a household registration of one million.  If you swallow it, you will become fat in one bite.  But since Xuzhou has no meaning, why does Chen Sheng have other purposes for Xuzhou besides rescuing Lu Bu, Cao Cao's enemy?     some.  Chen Sheng wants to make friends with Lu Bu.  Chen Sheng originally had no good or bad feelings about Lu Bu.  After all, Lu Bu betrayed Ding Yuan, betrayed Dong Zhuo, and became a slave of the three surnames. He was also fighting for his own ambitions.  But it¡¯s different when you¡¯re the leader of a party.??, Chen Sheng is now wary of Lu Bu.  Therefore, making friends with Lu Bu is not because of Lu Bu.  But the soldiers and horses under Lu Bu's command, generals Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, counselor Chen Gong, and several other capable generals, are all rare talents.  The most important thing is that Lu Bu also has a Bingzhou cavalry under his command. It is not known how many people are left, but it is definitely not less than a thousand.  With this cavalry, the cavalry force can be expanded to fight in the Central Plains.  Therefore, Chen Sheng wanted to make friends with Lu Bu.  And making friends with Lu Bu is of course the best thing to do to save someone's life.  Therefore, Chen Sheng wanted to rescue Lu Bu once.  Why do we talk about rescuing Lu Bu once?  Because according to Chen Sheng's speculation, Cao Cao had two opportunities to attack Xuzhou. Historically, before the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's first attack on Xuzhou was against Lu Bu, and the second time was because Liu Bei killed Che Zhou and occupied Xuzhou again.  , so the second crusade was launched.  Therefore, if Lu Bu is successfully rescued, Cao Cao will most likely launch a second attack on Xuzhou.  The second time, Chen Sheng stopped rescuing.  Historically, Lu Bu was defeated in Xiapi because there was no rescue.  Yuan Shu did not save him, and all the princes in the world did not trust him. He had no choice but to be trapped in Xiapi.  And Chen Sheng believed that since he rescued Lu Bu once, Lu Bu would trust him and lead his elite troops to defect to him when he was trapped in Xiapi.  This is Chen Sheng¡¯s purpose. He doesn¡¯t want Xuzhou, but wants Lu Bu¡¯s troops.  With Lu Bu's military strength, we can strengthen the fight 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, rescuing Lu Bu once will create obstacles for Cao Cao and make it difficult for Cao Cao's power to expand to the southeast.  Chen Sheng thinks it is also necessary.  Anyway, the Wancheng forces will open a new page, a page of attack.  And Chen Sheng¡¯s first goal was not Xuzhou or Jingzhou, but Lu Bu¡¯s elite soldiers, cavalry, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Chen Gong and other generals.  However, how to do this requires some planning.  As mentioned before, the Xuzhou Four Battles area is open and flat. If Cao Cao's army goes south and their cavalry is everywhere, the three Chen Shengs may not be Cao Cao's opponents.  Chen Sheng believes in this very much.  Because, the continuous battles against Cao Cao were just because they defended the city and had Liu Biao as a foreign aid.  Since the three Chen Shengs may not be able to defeat Cao Cao in Xuzhou, how to rescue Lu Bu?  If you don¡¯t plan something, you will really be sorry for your own life.  (To be continued.
