    "General, what kind of powerful person is this Li Yan?" Chen Sheng's voice was slightly high, and his eyes were full of surprise. They all fell on Zhou Cang and Jia Xu. Although Jia Xu was surprised, he did not speak, but Zhou Cang was.  He asked slightly curiously.  "I have heard a little bit about this man. If you use a metaphor, he is like gold sand buried in the sand." Chen Sheng thought about how to explain it before saying.  "That's it." Zhou Cang's eyes lit up when he heard this.  Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Liao Hua and other brave generals were personally recruited by Chen Sheng.  This made Zhou Cang and others think that Chen Sheng had a good understanding of people.  And now this Li Yan.  He seems to be a talented person.  As for a loyal minister like Zhou Cang, nothing would make him happier than having so many talents under Chen Sheng's command.  "Li Yan?" Although Jia Xu didn't speak, his ears were listening and he remembered this person in his heart.  On the other side, the guard conveyed Chen Sheng¡¯s meaning to Li Yan.  "Finally, my future is decided now." Li Yan was a little excited when he heard that Chen Sheng was willing to see him, then he straightened his clothes a little and walked in with a high head.  Immediately, Li Yan came outside the hall under the leadership of the guards.  "Li Yan, Nanyang, asked to see General Jianzhong." Li Yan asked to see General Jianzhong again outside the hall.  "Come in." Chen Sheng's voice sounded.  "Thank you, General Jianzhong." Li Yan thanked him, then lifted up his clothes and stepped into the hall.  Li Yan was also brave. After entering the hall, he immediately raised his head and glanced at Chen Sheng.  Immediately, I secretly praised it in my heart.  Good mighty.  But no, Chen Sheng is tall and straight, full of heroic spirit, he is really mighty.  "General." After glancing at Chen Sheng, Li Yan bowed down.  "Without courtesy, sit down." Chen Sheng raised his hand and said. In fact, Chen Sheng was also sizing up Li Yan. He ignored Li Yan's unattractive appearance, but paid attention to Li Yan's capable aura.  This guy should be very capable.  Chen Sheng thought in his heart.  "Thank you, general." Li Yan thanked him again, then knelt down and sat on the right side of Chen Sheng, opposite Jia Xu.  "Is this guy a talent?" Zhou Cang glanced at Li Yan curiously, but couldn't tell anything.  "Sir, I came here for a special visit. It must not be as simple as a visit. But what can you teach me?" After sitting down, you can't directly say, "I love you, please be my general."  There has to be a process, so Chen Sheng asked with a smile.  "I heard that Liu Jingzhou's supply of food to the general has been reduced by half, and I have received another great news, so I came here to see the general." Li Yan came well prepared and answered calmly.  "Oh, what's the news?" Chen Sheng was a little surprised when he heard this. He thought that Li Yan just defected here, but it seemed that there was some inside story.  "Cai Mao made a deal with Cao Cao. The deal is fifty thousand shi of grain." Li Yanyu said in surprise.  "Fifty thousand shi of food?" Chen Sheng's eyes suddenly went straight.  Isn't it now the time to be restrained by Liu Biao?  Food is a very scarce thing, and now it is delivered to your door.  Fifty thousand shi of grain is enough to feed an army of 10,000 for a year.  ¡°Moreover, this is Cai Mao¡¯s food, not cut off or cut off.  "Isn't Cai Hao the military advisor of Jingzhou? He actually made a deal with Cao Cao to supply Cao Cao with military rations?" Zhou Cang was shocked when he heard this and blurted out.  Without waiting for Li Yan to answer this question, Chen Sheng sneered and said: "I heard that Cai Mao and Cao Cao were very good friends when they were young. Cai Mao is only interested in profit, and it doesn't matter what he does with Cao Cao. If you give him enough benefits, you can't do anything with Cao Cao."  It¡¯s not surprising that Sun Ce has made friends. ¡°Cao Cao and Liu Biao maintain a superficial relationship, while Sun Ce and Liu Biao have a hatred for killing their father.  Chen Sheng used this metaphor to fully demonstrate Cai Mao's despicable character.  "Suddenly, Zhou Cang was even more surprised. Such a person could actually reach the level of a general in Zhennan and an important minister in Jingzhou. Liu Biao was also stupid.  However, the next moment Zhou Cang also felt happy. Liu Biao used people like this. No wonder the general said that Jingzhou is easy to attack.  "It's exactly what the general said. Cai Mao is nepotistic and only interested in profit, but he can do anything." Li Yan also sneered when he heard this.  Then, Li Yan clasped his fists at Chen Sheng and said, "Cai Mao made a deal with Cao Cao, but he didn't dare to be honest. Therefore, this batch of grain was very secretive. Even if the general attacked him, Cai Mao could only knock out his teeth and put them in his stomach."  Li Tun would never dare to tell Liu Biao about this so-called gift from heaven and ask the general to send troops. "  "When did you pass by Nanyang?" Chen Sheng was also decisive when he heard this and asked directly.  "Probably tomorrow. This batch of grain was so huge that Cai Mao divided it into three large caravans, ostensibly transporting cloth, wine, and other specialties." Li Yan said.  "Okay." Chen Sheng nodded in agreement upon hearing this.  Then, he ordered Zhou Cang to say: "Send the order and order General Liao Hua to send troops to deploy. I want these 50,000 shi of food." "Promise." Zhou Cang agreed and went down to pass the order.  "Sir, this news has solved an urgent need for me." After sending Zhou Cang away, Chen Sheng turned back and said solemnly to Li Yan.  Then, he asked: "I wonder what you want, sir? No matter gold, silver, land or house, as long as it is not excessive." Chen Sheng would think that Li Yan came all the way here and brought such important news.  Is it just to ask for land and housing?  Of course Chen Sheng would not think so.  Chen Sheng still estimated that Li Yan came to defect.  Chen Sheng himself also wanted to accept Li Yan.  But again, everything has a beginning.  Therefore, Chen Sheng deliberately used the phrase "asking for land and asking for houses" to ask Li Yan about his ambitions.  And Li Yan also heard the implication of Chen Sheng's words, and he felt happy.  On the face, he replied solemnly: "Although my family is not rich, it is still a well-to-do family. I have nothing to ask for in terms of gold, silver, land and house. I am very worried about being established in the near future, but still accomplishing nothing. Therefore,  I want to seek a position under the general." "With your great achievements today, it's okay to seek a position. However, I don't have idle people under my command," Chen Sheng said deliberately, and then he made a deliberate move.  After a while, he asked Li Yan: "Sir, you also know that I am currently under the control of Liu Jingzhou. I wonder if you, sir, have any good ideas?" Even though Li Yan had a strategy in mind, after hearing the first half of Chen Sheng's words, he also thought  A moment of nervousness.  But after hearing the second half of Chen Sheng's words, I felt my heart in my stomach again.  Because Li Yan has already thought about this matter and has the answer.  So, Li Yan calmly raised his fist and said, "This is enough to take Yuan Shao's land in Runan." "Hahaha." Chen Sheng laughed.  Sure enough, the heroes saw the same thing. Similarly, since Li Yan could answer the word Runan, he could also officially appoint Li Yan to march into Runan.  Listening to Chen Sheng¡¯s loud laughter, Li Yan suddenly knew that his future was secure.  In my heart, I couldn't help but get excited. The days of being a small official were finally over.  "Can you guess who this gentleman is?" After laughing, Chen Sheng pointed at Jia Xu and asked Li Yandao with a smile.  "If what I expected is correct, Mr. Wen He should be in front." Li Yan solemnly saluted Jia Xu upon hearing this.  Jia Xu is a world-famous counselor and wise man.  Even if Li Yan felt that he was talented, he would not dare to neglect Jia Xu.  "It's polite." Jia Xu returned the gift and said.  "Actually, it's a coincidence that you came here. Just now I was discussing with Wen He how to solve this problem, and we also thought of attacking Runan. But the troops that can be used are the two generals Liu Pi and Gong Du of Runan. This  The two generals are quite brave, but they are less resourceful. But I am worried that it will be difficult for these two generals to win." At this point, Chen Sheng glanced at Li Yan with a smile in his eyes.  And how could Li Yan not sense Chen Sheng¡¯s intentions?  Suddenly, I became excited.  This gives a good position, it is better to be reused.  Just like this time, Chen Sheng clearly wanted to take Runan, but he was missing a general. If he could get this opportunity and make military exploits, then becoming a leading general would be a sure thing.  Li Yan felt very satisfied after becoming a general from a small official.  "Do you have a detailed plan?" Chen Sheng asked with a smile when he saw Li Yan's expression of joy and knew that Li Yan understood what he meant.  "Please allow me to think about it." Li Yan did not agree immediately, but requested.  "Okay." Chen Sheng naturally gave Li Yan time and nodded in agreement.  Soon after, Li Yan thought it through and told Chen Sheng his plan.  The plan is very detailed, from attacking to defending, and how to defend against Cao Cao's general Li Tong.  After hearing this, Chen Sheng felt it was perfect.  So, Chen Shengxiao glanced at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu nodded without any trace.  "After Li Yan finished speaking, he also stared at Chen Sheng closely. When he saw Chen Sheng and Jia Xu looking at each other, he immediately knew that it was coming and became a little nervous again.  Even Li Yan was nervous several times today.  There's no way, it's about the future.  "We've been talking for so long, but I still don't know your name, sir." Chen Sheng asked with a smile.  "Report to the general, the word Zhengfang is below."??Li Yan replied respectfully.  "Significant? There are important details and good words in it." Chen Sheng praised it.  After a while, Chen Sheng said with a smile: "I am planning to gather a thousand elite troops to go to Runan to join Liu Pi and Gong Du in their expedition against Runan, but we are missing a general to lead the army. Is Zheng Fang willing?" "Will you do it?"  A general can do what a dog and a horse can do. "What else could Li Yan say?  He bowed his head and bowed.  "Okay, after I write the order and send guards to lead Zhengfang to General Hu Che'er, he will give a thousand elite soldiers, relevant baggage, and food to Zhengfang." Chen Sheng also achieved his goal, and said with a smile.  "Promise." Li Yan promised.  Immediately, Chen Sheng wrote the warrant, ordered the guards, and took Li Yan down.  In addition, in order to give Li Yan prestige, Chen Sheng sent a letter to Liu Pi, saying that Li Yan was resourceful and should listen to everything.  To put it mildly, Li Yan will be the main attacker this time.  After doing all this, Chen Sheng felt completely refreshed.  We have a candidate to attack Runan. With Runan in hand, Liu Biao won't have to pinch him.  On the other side, Cai Mao's deal with Cao Cao.  Thinking of this, Chen Sheng felt even better.  Cai Mao, Cao Cao, food.  (To be continued.
