    Treat the symptoms and the root cause.  "You have to be able to turn it into three words, grab food."  If you don¡¯t have it yourself, you¡¯ll naturally grab it.  As for where to grab it?  Chen Sheng thought for a while and said to Zhou Cang next to him and the guards in the hall: "Go and bring the map." "Promise." Zhou Cang made a promise to the guard, turned around and walked out.  Not long after, the two returned again, and this time they walked in carrying a screen.  I saw that this screen was only one foot high and one and a half sheets wide. What was inside was neither a painting nor an article, but a landscape map. On it was Wancheng, as well as the surrounding Xiangyang, Runan, Fancheng, Xinye, Xiangjiang, and Han Dynasty.  Sichuan and other places are marked, but it is a map centered on Wancheng.  After the screen was moved in, it was placed in front of Chen Sheng.  After seeing the map, Chen Sheng stood up and came to the front of the map. He looked left and right. After looking at it for a long time, he smiled a little.  However, Chen Sheng did not make a decision. Instead, he raised his head and shouted to Jia Xu: "Wen He, I intend to harvest grain elsewhere for military use. Where do you think it can be obtained?" Chen Sheng ordered Zhou Cang to carry it.  Jia Xu knew Chen Sheng's intention and had already calculated it, so he smiled and said: "The army is short of food. If you want to take it, you must take it from a rich place. And in the surrounding area, apart from Jingzhou, the only rich place is  Runan." "Wen He means the same as me," Chen Sheng said with a smile.  That¡¯s right, after Chen Sheng¡¯s observation, he came to the conclusion that he should make progress in Runan.  Now around Wancheng, apart from Cao Cao, there is Liu Biao. Cao Cao has neither himself nor food, but Liu Biao is still unable to move. Therefore, the only one Chen Sheng can move is Runan.  ¡°Besides, Runan has a lot of grain.  As mentioned in the previous article, Runan was divided into three parts, one of which was Liu Pi, occupying thirteen cities.  The other is Li Tong, a famous general named after Wenpin in history. He has eight cities and six thousand elite soldiers.  The remaining twenty or thirty cities were occupied by county magistrates.  Because Runan is Yuan Shao's hometown, these twenty or thirty county magistrates all obey Yuan Shao, and each has some elite soldiers.  Yuan Shao was so prestigious that even yellow turban generals such as Liu Pi did not dare to offend him, let alone some small bandits and bandits, so these twenty or thirty cities were always in peace.  Being in peace with each other is equal to prosperity and food.  No matter how bad it is, it is also before the autumn harvest. If we capture these cities, it happens to be the autumn harvest, and we can collect taxes directly from the autumn harvest.  It is the right time to take things by force.  This is a symptomatic treatment.  And with more than 20 cities, there are at least one or two hundred thousand more people. Adding the original people, it should be no problem to raise 400,000.  With 400,000 civilians, we can support 30,000 to 40,000 elite soldiers.  It is also a permanent cure.  A piece of fat, pretty good.  Originally, Chen Sheng¡¯s plan focused on Xuzhou, and he never thought of capturing twenty or thirty cities in Runan. But now that Liu Biao was out of food, Chen Sheng was reminded.  "As long as I capture these cities, no matter how much you, Liu Biao, reduce your aid to me, I can still hold on." Thinking about this, Chen Sheng smiled while stroking his hands.  However, there is also Li Tong who occupies eight cities in Runan. He only has 6,000 elite soldiers and is not very powerful, but he is still a famous general and should not be underestimated.  This time, more troops were used.  "Wen He is going to be settled soon?" Thinking about this, Chen Sheng suddenly felt a little pain in his head. He thought too much and simply stopped thinking about it, so he opened his mouth and asked Jia Xu.  "The general can lead six thousand elite troops to challenge Li Tong. As long as the general Chen Bing is outside, Li Tong will be worried about losing the city and will not interfere more. In this way, the two generals Liu Pi and Gong Du can be ordered to attack Runan.  There are twenty or thirty cities. As long as the cities are obtained, most of the cities in Runan will be under the general's command. The general can take charge of the Runan County Guard." Jia Xu replied calmly.  "Oh, Runan County Sheriff? Not bad." Chen Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He hadn't thought of this yet.  As General Jianzhong, he is temporarily stationed in Wancheng. He does not have the official position of governor or governor. By occupying Runan, he can be called the governor of Runan, which is also an improvement.  Good.  However, Chen Sheng was a little worried about letting Liu Pi and Gong Du attack.  These two guys can defend the city fairly well, but this attack.  Thinking of this, Chen Sheng wondered whether he should send Wei Yan and Liao Hua to attack?  But if these famous generals are dispatched, what will happen to Wancheng's defense?  Let¡¯s not talk about Cao Cao for now. Judging from Liu Biao¡¯s attitude, he is probably eager to drive me out of Wancheng.  Wenpin and Wang Wei cannot be underestimated.  As he thought about it, Chen Sheng felt his forehead hurt again.    There is still a lack of manpower under his command.  To be honest, Chen Sheng's luck is not good. Otherwise, he would not have become Chen Sheng, but would have directly become Yuan Shao. That would be extremely lucky.  However, today Chen Sheng seems to have divine help.  Just when Chen Sheng was worried about the talents of his leading generals Liu Pi and Gong Du, a talented man showed up unannounced.  At this moment, outside the gate of the General's Mansion, there was a person slowly walking towards the gate. This person was not good-looking, not tall, and he did not have any extraordinary demeanor. The only thing that stood out was that he exuded a capable aura.  .  Soon after, this man stood outside the gate.  He first glanced at the General's Mansion and thought to himself, "It's so ruined." But no, Chen Sheng took over the entire power of Zhang Xiu, but gave up the magnificent Jianzhong General's Mansion to his widowed sister-in-law and nephew.  Son Zhang Quan.  The mansion I live in is not outstanding, and is even a little dilapidated.  "It's not that I'm really frugal, I want to do great things, or I just want to deceive the world and steal my reputation." Then, the man said something secretly in his heart.  Immediately, the man's eyes lit up again, and he saw that although the mansion was dilapidated, the guards guarding the door were majestic, high-spirited and mighty. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? "It seems that most of them want to do big things." The man thought to himself again.  Suddenly, this person's expectations for Chen Sheng rose by more than one level.  "Who are you? Why are you stopping here?" The man stood there for a long time and looked back and forth, which made the guard at the gate feel strange and couldn't help but shout.  However, the words were quite polite and did not sound arrogant or domineering.  "It's not bad to run an army." The man said again in his heart.  Thinking about this, the man clasped his fists and saluted the guard, and said with a smile: "I am from this county. My surname is Li and my name is Yan. I admire General Jianzhong Chen and come here to ask for an audience. I also ask the sergeant to report on my behalf." The guard in front of Chen Sheng's gate not only  To be powerful, you have to restrain your aggressiveness. In addition, you also have the task of reporting on your behalf.  Usually people like Li Yan are the ones who make notifications on their behalf.  And such a person may become an important adviser or general under Chen Sheng.  How can we neglect.  Therefore, the guard replied without hesitation: "Wait a moment." After saying this, the guard immediately turned around and entered the mansion.  "The efficiency is also very high." Li Yan praised again when he saw this.  As Li Yan claims to be, he is from this county, that is, Nanyang County.  Ben worked as a minor official in the county and did well, so he was repeatedly transferred by Liu Biao.  It¡¯s a bit of appreciation.  But that's it, Liu Biao is famous for his talent but cannot use it.  Li Yan is really talented, and even after working as a small official for several years, he is no longer patient.  I heard that Chen Sheng was famous in Wancheng, so I came here because of his reputation and planned to join him.  At the same time, Li Yan also brought good news, news that would make Chen Sheng feel very excited.  "I have brought you this news, and I will show you my extraordinary qualities. This General Jianzhong should not treat me as a talented person. I can get rid of the fate of being a minor official under Liu Jingzhou and try to make contributions.  ." Li Yan secretly thought, looking forward to the future.  "General." After accepting Li Yan's request, the guard immediately came to the door of the hall.  He stopped in front of the hall door and saluted into the hall.  At this moment, Chen Sheng was having a headache about who would lead the army.  Hearing this, he said impatiently: "What's the matter?" The general seemed to be in a bad mood.  After hearing Chen Sheng's words, the guard suddenly mourned for Li Yan in his heart.  It's not the right time.  Years passed in his mind, but the guard spoke quickly and replied quickly: "Reporting to the general, there is a man outside the door claiming to be Li Yan from this county asking for an audience." "Li Yan?" Chen Sheng's voice suddenly rose slightly.  At the same time, Chen Sheng's face showed a look of surprise and joy, it turned out to be Li Yan.  Chen Sheng was deeply impressed by this guy.  First of all, this guy is one of the two assistant ministers left by Liu Bei, the other is Zhuge Liang.  Awesome, right?  Even those who hate Liu Bei have to admire Liu Bei's ability to recognize people.  This guy rarely sees the wrong person in his life.  Therefore, Li Yan's talent is beyond doubt.  On the other hand, Li Yan dared to challenge Zhuge Liang, but of course he was completely defeated in the end.  Historically, the evaluation of Li Yan's doing this was not very high. It was said that Li Yan's moral conduct was lacking because he wanted to compete with Zhuge Liang for power, so he challenged Zhuge Liang.  But who can know the truth of history?  You must know that at that time, Zhuge Liang had great power and was a real powerful minister. Li Yan might be a loyal minister, so he was worried when he saw it.So why do you want to challenge Zhuge Liang?  ¡°Anyway, no one knows what history is about.  Therefore, if this virtue is lacking, it can be temporarily put aside.  The most important thing is Li Yan's talent. Liu Bei thinks that this person must be extraordinary if he can assist Liu Chan with Zhuge Liang.  Such people are really rare, and they come in a very timely manner.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????Aren't I short of candidates for the main general to attack twenty or thirty cities in Runan?  Li Yan can definitely take on important tasks. In other words, these twenty or thirty cities in Runan are within easy reach.  Thinking about it, Chen Sheng couldn't wait to see Li Yan immediately.  There was even a scene where Cao Cao met Xu You, barefoot.  However, Chen Sheng was still calm and did not do that.  As far as he knows, Li Yan is still a minor official and has little reputation.  Such sincerity and enthusiasm make people confused.  Thinking about it, Chen Sheng raised his hand and said: "Please come in." "No." The guard thought that Chen Sheng was in a bad mood and Li Yan came at the wrong time, but he didn't expect this to be the result. He was stunned.  But then he reacted, made a promise, turned around and walked out.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
