    Cai Mao was greedy for Cao Cao's money, so he gathered the Jingzhou nobles with 50,000 shi of grain, hoping to make huge profits from it.  As a result, Li Yan exposed him and Chen Sheng took advantage of the situation to take 50,000 shi of grain.  As a result, Cai Mao almost went bankrupt in order to appease the anger of the nobles.  Finally, General Zhennan¡¯s military advisor and Jingzhou¡¯s chief minister Cai Mao couldn¡¯t help but cursed Chen Sheng for a good death, and all kinds of curses.  However, although the distance between Xiangyang and Wancheng is only a few hundred miles, it is not too far.  But Chen Sheng couldn't hear Cai Mao's curses and curses.  Since you can¡¯t hear it, then it¡¯s just deaf ears.  For Chen Sheng, life is going on, and thanks to Cai Mao's help, he is living a good life now. With 50,000 shi of food, he can become rich and wealthy for a while.  One of the things Chen Sheng did was to increase the rations for the soldiers.  In the past, when Zhang Xiu was here, food was often insufficient, so the rations were just to satisfy the hunger.  Now that Chen Sheng is wealthy and wants to do big things, he naturally needs to increase the amount of training for his soldiers, and at the same time increase their rations, which is also the right thing to do.  And in this way, although the Wancheng soldiers trained hard, they were able to eat well, so their military morale was still rising steadily.  Of course, training and adapting Cao's army to surrender are important matters, but this is an overall important matter. Although Chen Sheng is solemn, there is no current matter for Chen Sheng to pay attention to.  With food in hand, the so-called current matter is naturally to seize more than 20 wealthy counties in Runan and Yuan Shao.  For this matter, Chen Sheng summoned Li Yan almost every day to personally inquire about Li Yan's military training.  The thousand elite soldiers originally ordered to be given to Li Yan were all mobilized from all sides, including Xiliang soldiers, miscellaneous soldiers who were originally rogue bandits, and Cao Jun surrendered.  It needs to be adjusted before you can go to the battlefield.  Li Yan's ability is really good. It only took more than ten days to train elite troops in Wancheng. It was certainly not enough to fight Cao Jun.  However, it should not be a problem to expand the twenty or thirty cities in Runan that are not guarded by famous generals and fight independently.  "Li Yan is indeed not a talented person, but a famous general." On this day, Chen Sheng led Zhou Cang and some of his soldiers out of Wancheng, went to Li Yan's camp to observe Li Yan's military training, and then met with Zhou Cang  Return to Wancheng together.  On the way, Chen Sheng sighed at Zhou Cang beside him.  "Indeed, General Li Yan may not be as brave as Generals Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, but his ability to lead troops is even better." After Zhou Cang thought about what he had just watched Li Yan train, he highly praised him.  said.  "Haha, with this person, Runan will have no worries." Chen Sheng said with a hearty laugh.  Soon after, Chen Sheng and Zhou Cang returned to the General's Mansion. However, there seemed to be something wrong in front of the mansion.  Normally, it is very quiet in front of Chen Sheng's house.  Like Li Yan, there are not many people who want to meet Chen Sheng.  Because although Chen Sheng's reputation is great, it is not as great as Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world.  Although they have power, they are not as powerful as Liu Biao and Yuan Shao.  There are not many people who come to seek refuge on their own.  However, at this moment, it was very lively in front of the General's Mansion.  It's not that many people came to defect.  Instead, in front of the general's mansion, there were many soldiers, chariots and horses.  These soldiers are tall and straight, their eyes are straight, and they all look very mighty.  However, the murderous intent is slightly lacking.  Chen Sheng could tell at a glance that these were not Wancheng's elite soldiers.  And there are many carriages and horses, which seem to be carrying a lot of baggage.  "Go and ask what's going on." Chen Sheng urged Zhou Cang.  "No." Zhou Cang asked, then rode off to ask.  Soon after, he turned back and said with joy on his face: "General, Fang Changshi is back. Moreover, Yuan Emperor Zhong also sent an envoy. It is Emperor Cheng's younger brother, General Yuan Yin of Chariots and Cavalry."  Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor and established the Zhong clan.  Zhou Cang originally wanted to say Yuan Shu, but changed his name to Emperor Zhong.  But Zhou Cang was also a little clever, and no one paid attention to the emperor Yuan Shu. There were many people who called Yuan Shu and Yuan a thief.  But after all, if Chen Sheng wants to have a good relationship with Yuan Shu, the emperor's identity must be recognized.  "The baggage in these carriages should all be gifts. It seems that Emperor Zhong also has a good impression of me." Chen Sheng laughed and said.  "Let's go and see this Yuan Yin." Immediately, Chen Sheng got off his horse, gave the horse to his soldiers, and led Zhou Cang into the general's mansion.  It didn¡¯t take long for Chen Sheng to arrive at the General¡¯s Mansion and enter the hall.  At this moment, three people were kneeling in the hall, one was Fang Gu, one was Jia Xu, and the other was a man in his thirties.?? people.  This man has fair skin, good looks, a three-inch beard, and is more than eight feet long. He is really good-looking.  "General." Seeing Chen Sheng, Zhou Cang came in, Jia Xu, and Fang Gu all bowed to Chen Sheng.  And Fang Gu introduced to the thirty or so people with a smile: "General Yuan, this is our general." "General, this is the Chariot and Cavalry General Yuan Yin under the Zhong family, in order to respond to the general's friendship.  Emperor Zhong specially sent General Yuan to pay a visit to the general." Immediately, Fang Gu introduced Chen Sheng.  "I have met General Jianzhong." In fact, Yuan Yin already knew it when he met Fang Gu and Jia Xu met Chen Sheng.  By the way, I took a quick look at Chen Sheng, and I praised him even more, he is really a mighty general.  After Fang Gu¡¯s introduction, Yuan Yin also saluted.  Although it is said that Yuan Yin is a chariot and cavalry general, he was granted the title by Yuan Shu.  Not to mention that the princes in the world didn't take it seriously, even Yuan Yin himself knew that his weight was too light.  It is simply difficult to compare with Chen Sheng. If you think too highly of yourself, you are just asking for humiliation.  Besides, Chen Sheng is currently very important to his elder brother, the Emperor Yuan Shu.  why?  Because since Yuan Shu became emperor, there has been basically no diplomacy.  Without diplomacy, there is no foreign aid and the country is very lonely.  In addition, Yuan Shu's poor management caused the power of his subordinates to shrink significantly.  At present, there are really not many people who can look up to Yuan Shu as the emperor.  Lu Bu counts as half, but this person is brave and foolhardy, and he is greedy and repetitive. He can only be a friend and can't be called an ally.  Therefore, Yuan Shu is currently very embarrassed, very lonely, and even has no sense of security.  For Yuan Shu, Chen Sheng's friendship was naturally a timely help.  Moreover, Yuan Shao, Chen Sheng, used Guo Tu to plot a divorce.  Chen Sheng beheaded Guo Tu with great decisiveness and justice reflected in his appearance.  Such an image gives people a very reliable and sense of security.  Furthermore, Chen Sheng competed with Cao Cao. Although he was weak and on the defensive, he was able to resist Cao Cao's attacks again and again, causing Cao Cao to lose his troops and generals.  This ability is truly outstanding.  There are many troops, tens of thousands of elite soldiers.  The power is not small, with more than twenty cities, and it spans the counties of Nanyang and Runan.  For allies like Chen Sheng, Yuan Shu could not ask for more.  Not to mention, Chen Sheng took the initiative to make friends with him.  After receiving Fang Gu, and after Fang Gu expressed Chen Sheng's intention to form an alliance, Yuan Shu immediately and decisively dispatched Yuan Yin, bringing twice as much baggage and gifts as Chen Sheng's to Wancheng to pay a visit to Chen Sheng.  Anyway, Yuan Shu caters to Chen Sheng quite a bit.  It is natural for Yuan Yin, a chariot and cavalry general, to salute Chen Sheng first.  Of course, Chen Sheng would be aware of the connection. After all, if he was not completely sure, Chen Sheng would not send Fang Gu as an envoy.  Combined with Yuan Yin's attitude, Chen Sheng had a 100% guess.  He knew that Yuan Shu, an ally, could be said to be nailed to an iron plate.  Since Yuan Shu has become an ally, it will not be a problem for soldiers to enter Xuzhou.  He can get involved in Lu Bu's power.  Thinking of this, Chen Sheng felt a flash of joy in his heart.  However, these did not appear on the surface. After receiving Yuan Yin's salute, Chen Sheng returned the salute with a smile: "I have also seen the chariot and cavalry general." Yuan Yin saluted Chen Sheng first with the etiquette of a lower official, and Chen Sheng did not look down upon it.  Yuan Shu is a bullshit chariot general, but he still calls Yuan Yin the chariot general.  This scene is quite harmonious.  This also made Yuan Yin feel Chen Sheng's sincerity from Chen Sheng's attitude, and he suddenly felt happy.  "It's just a false name. In front of General Jianzhong, I don't dare to call myself a charioteer." Yuan Yin said modestly, then reached into his sleeves and took out a roll of bamboo slips.  "These are some of the emperor's wishes. I would like to ask the general to review them." At this moment, Chen Sheng had already knelt down and sat down, and Zhou Cang stood beside Chen Sheng. Seeing this, Zhou Cang took the bamboo slip and handed it to Chen Sheng.  After hearing what Yuan Yin said, Chen Sheng knew that this was the gift list.  I took it in my hand and took a look, and it turned out to be a gift list.  Soon, Chen Sheng also realized that this gift was more than twice as valuable as the one he gave.  However, there are treasures here, such as big beads and other valuable things, but they have no practical value.  Based on this, Chen Sheng made a guess that Yuan Shu, the emperor, might have nothing left except gold, silver and jewelry.  Weapons, leather armor, bows and arrows, war horses, food and other strategically important things are probably very few.  Otherwise, in troubled times, thatIt is a truly valuable and sincere gift.  However, Chen Sheng had such a guess in his heart, but he would not say it on his face.  After glancing at the list, Chen Sheng put it down, then smiled at Yuan Yin and said, "This gift is quite valuable, and it makes me feel the sincerity of your Majesty." At this point, Chen Sheng paused.  He then solemnly said: "Today, wars are raging, and countless princes have been killed. Your Majesty and I are trying to survive in these troubled times, but people like Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce are aggressive and want to destroy us.  Therefore, I am willing to make an alliance with your Majesty. " Chen Sheng wants to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, not rely on him.  Therefore, he is only called Your Majesty, not Zhongtianzi.  However, even this is enough to make Yuan Yin happy.  "Your Majesty also has this intention and is willing to establish an alliance with General Jianzhong." Yuan Yin said loudly with a happy face.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
