    The alliance between Chen Sheng and Yuan Shu can be said to be a blatant closeness, and the other is eager for an alliance. It can be said that they hit it off.  Then, when Yuan Yin said loudly, "Your Majesty also has this intention and is willing to establish an alliance of lips and teeth with General Jianzhong." The two sides became allies.  "Hahaha, okay, East and West are one family, and we will fight against the powerful Cao Cao together, Wu Sun." Chen Sheng said with a smile when he heard this.  Qiang Cao and Wu Sun are the current enemies of both sides. Since the two sides have become fierce enemies, they should help the other side fight against their respective enemies.  "It should be so." In the current living environment, Yuan Shu is weaker than Chen Sheng, and Sun Ce is more aggressive than Cao Cao.  Therefore, after listening to Chen Sheng's words, Yuan Yin agreed without hesitation.  Afterwards, Chen Sheng discussed some details of the alliance with Yuan Yin. After everything was settled in Wancheng.  Not only was Chen Sheng smiling, Yuan Yin was also beaming with joy, and the atmosphere between the two parties was extremely harmonious.  "Since the alliance has been completed, I will take my leave first." Soon after, Yuan Yin said goodbye.  "Leaving so soon? Don't you live in Wancheng?" Chen Sheng said slightly surprised.  "My Majesty attaches great importance to this alliance and is eager to know the consequences. Therefore, I will not stay here any longer." Yuan Yin said with a slight embarrassment.  This time, they are really hungry.  "That's it." Chen Sheng was a little funny when he heard this, but he nodded with understanding.  Immediately, Yuan Yin left, and Chen Sheng ordered Fang Gu to send Yuan Yin out of the general's mansion.  After the two left, Chen Sheng did not leave immediately.  Instead, he was waiting for Fang Gu to come back. He wanted to know what Huainan Yuan Shu's current strength was.  "Now the two sides are an alliance of lips and teeth, an offensive and defensive alliance. Then I will send troops to rescue Lu Bu and fight against Cao Cao. Then maybe I can win over Yuan Shu's forces. If Yuan Shu is added, then my chance of successful rescue will increase a lot." Chen Sheng's  With wishful thinking in mind.  "Da da da." Not long after, Fang Gu turned back and was about to reply.  Chen Sheng directly waved his hand and said: "Without any further talk, let's talk about the current situation in Huainan?" Fang Gu thought about it for a moment, and then said: "General, the current situation in Huainan is not very good. Yuan Shu is in trouble because he proclaimed himself emperor.  Being besieged by princes from all sides, it was already weak. Now Huainan is facing another disaster. The generals and even the county magistrates have become disloyal, and I am afraid that they will not be able to survive for a few more years. " "Yuan Shu has been weakened to this point.  "Chen Sheng said thoughtfully.  As history records, Yuan Shu has run out of gas.  However, history may be different.  My alliance with Yuan Shu should give Yuan Shu's forces a boost and alleviate the problem of centrifugation. Maybe Yuan Shu can survive for a few more years.  Huainan.  Chen Sheng's eyes were shining with greed. As long as Yuan Shu can hold on for a few years, I will rescue Lu Bu first and seize Jingzhou. I may be able to get my hands on some of the land in Huainan.  At this point, some readers may be confused.  Chen Sheng did not want to take Xuzhou, but wanted to get involved in Huainan.  Isn't this the time when I have lost my watermelon and want to pick up the sesame seeds?  In fact, this is Chen Sheng's consideration not to blindly pursue big profits, but to proceed from reality to obtain benefits that suit his own interests.  This starts with where Huainan is. There are actually four situations in the name of the place in the Han Dynasty.  One is a state, one is a county, and one is a county.  Most people know this.  But a few people may not know that the Han Dynasty also had an administrative unit called the state.  This country is neither a county nor a county. It is composed of several counties, or several counties combined. Moreover, the area where a vassal king nominally rules is called a country.  "Huainan is neither a county nor a country.  Huainan is just a rough name. It is located in the south of Huaihe River, including some places in Jiujiang County and Lujiang County.  This place used to be very prosperous, with a population of one million, and it was the essence of Yangzhou.  But since it was occupied by Yuan Shu, it has plummeted.  It is currently dilapidated and has an insufficient population, not even comparable to Xuzhou.  But the Huainan region has geographical advantages.  This place is located south of the Huaihe River. This is a natural barrier that can prevent the Central Plains cavalry from going south.  And Huainan is very mountainous, making it a very good defensive place.  After all, such a complex terrain can lead to many ambushes or something.  It is very beneficial to the defender.  Compared with Xuzhou, Huainan wins in this place.  If Chen Sheng captures Huainan, the north can guard against Cao's cavalry going south and further expand his power.  It can also prevent Sun Ce from Jiangdong from going north and expand Jiangdong's power.  Moreover, this area is connected to Runan. If it is occupied, it can become a large area of ????power.?Power.  In addition, according to the expansion of power, Chen Sheng will definitely conflict with Sun Ce.  If we occupy Huainan, we can go north to Jiangdong.  If you capture Jingzhou, you can move from east to Jiangdong.  Surrounded on both sides, thus taking advantage.  For Chen Sheng, who has raised his ambition from destroying Cao Cao to establishing a force and creating a career of kingship, this piece of land has a strange strategic significance.  However, this will be a few years later.  At present, it is better to rescue Lu Bu first and then occupy Jingzhou.  Thinking of this, Chen Sheng put aside the matter in Huainan.  However, thinking of this, Chen Sheng felt something strange in his heart.  He laughed at himself: "It's true that people have ulterior motives. As soon as I formed an alliance with Yuan Shu, I was already thinking about Huainan." Isn't it that I'm still not excited about the alliance just now?  ¡°Forget it, if you become a prince, you will have evil intentions.  The heroes occupying the city are all enemies.  Allies have never really existed.  After being weird for a moment, Chen Sheng got rid of the weird feeling.  When the position he is in changes, the person's heart will also change.  All the princes in the world, whether they are allies or enemies, are Chen Sheng's targets for destruction.  Anyway, the alliance between Chen Sheng and Yuan Shu was settled.  After that, it was a process of waiting for Cao Cao to send troops to attack Lu Bu and Chen Sheng to send troops to rescue.  However, among them, the plan to capture twenty or thirty cities in Runan is also being implemented.  On this day, the sky was gradually getting dark.  Chen Sheng had his dinner, prepared to read a book, and then went to bed.  But Zhou Cang told him that Li Yan asked to see him.  "This coach who conquers Runan can't wait any longer." Chen Sheng immediately knew what Li Yan was thinking when he heard this and laughed.  "Let's go to the hall." Chen Sheng waved his hand, put down the book, and headed towards the hall.  "Promise." Zhou Cang promised and followed.  Soon after, the two came to the hall, but Li Yan was no longer there.  At this moment, Li Yan still looked unattractive, but his aura of ability became stronger and stronger. His eyes were full of energy, and he was wearing armor, which made him look a bit more powerful.  It¡¯s quite different from the way it looked when I first recommended myself.  "General." Seeing Chen Sheng come in, Li Yan saluted.  "No courtesy." Chen Sheng waved his hand to indicate no courtesy.  Then he went straight to the top and sat down, and asked with a smile: "What, but I can't wait, I am going to runan." Zhou Cang glanced at Li Yan, followed Chen Sheng up, and stood next to Chen Sheng.  "Reporting back to the general, the general is impatient and wants to make contributions." Regarding Chen Sheng's question, Li Yan was a bachelor and admitted it openly.  The sparkling look in his eyes turned into an aggressive edge.  "What a great assistant minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, Li Yan." Seeing this, Chen Sheng secretly cheered in his heart.  Similarly, there is no reason to attack Li Yan.  So Chen Sheng smiled and said: "Okay, I allow you to lead the troops to Runan tomorrow and join Liu Pi and the other two." "Promise." After seeing Chen Sheng agreeing to go out, Li Yan looked excited and promised loudly.  His body was trembling with excitement, and finally, it was time to unsheath the sword.  "I, Li Yan, want to show the people of Jingzhou that I am not a petty official, but a person capable of doing big things."  Li Yan, who had been looking up to him for many years, finally spoke his voice in his heart.  "Then go down and get ready." Chen Sheng became more confident when he saw Li Yan looking like a hungry wild wolf, eager to eat meat and drink blood immediately. He said with a smile.  "Promise." Li Yan promised again, turned around and walked away.  "Finally we are going to open up Runan. Liu Biao, you want to use food to control me, but there is no chance. And after occupying twenty or thirty cities in Runan, most of Runan is mine, and I can call myself the governor of Runan. This  The title is really good." After Li Yan left, Chen Sheng said with a relaxed and somewhat cold smile.  "Yuan Jian, Ming Fang Gu, and Liao Hua will each lead their own troops and horses. They will assemble in the east of the city tomorrow morning. I will personally lead the army to meet Cao Cao's general, Li Tong." Chen Sheng ordered.  As explained in the previous article, there was another Cao Wei general Li Tong in Runan who occupied eight cities in Runan and had 6,000 elite soldiers. In history, this person was as famous as Wenpin.  Li Yan, Liu Pi, and Gong all have fifteen thousand elite soldiers, and there is no problem in capturing those twenty or thirty cities.  But if Li Tong sneak attacks from behind, I'm afraid he will suffer.  Therefore, to attack Runan, Chen Sheng must go out to attack Li Tong and contain Li Tong.    And Liao Hua and Fang Gu have a total of nine thousand soldiers and horses, which is more than enough.  "Promise." Zhou Cang had known Chen Sheng's plan for a long time, so he calmly agreed and went down to deliver the order.  Just like that, with Chen Sheng's order, most of the troops in Wancheng were mobilized and prepared to go out.  Early the next morning, east of Wancheng.  Three armies were assembled. Wei Yan, Li Yan, and Fang Gu each led their own troops and formed three square formations.  There are many soldiers and flags flying, it is really both killing and mighty.  In front of the general's mansion, Chen Sheng got on his horse, accompanied by Zhou Cang and hundreds of soldiers to guard him, ready to go out.  In front of the gate of the mansion, there were three people, Wei Yan, Jia Xu and Hu Cheer, seeing each other off.  "Wancheng will be left to you three." Chen Sheng raised his fist towards the three of them and said.  "Don't worry, general." Jia Xu, Wei Yan, and Hu Che'er all bowed down and bowed. Jia Xu remained expressionless, while Wei Yan and Hu Che'er's faces were filled with confidence.  Having defeated Cao Cao twice in a row, Cao Cao is now unable to move south.  It makes them very confident.  "Okay." Chen Sheng smiled and drove his horse to the east of the city.  Soon after, Chen Sheng led Fang Gu, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua with nine thousand troops to the city where Li Tong was in Runan.  And Li Yan led a thousand troops to Runan with Liu Pi and Gong Du.  Although they are both in Runan, one is heading north and the other is heading east.  (To be continued.
