    After all, Runan County is adjacent to Nanyang County, so when Chen Sheng sends troops, he does not need to prepare in advance. He can give the order at night and the troops can be sent out the next day.  Therefore, after Chen Sheng led the army out of Wancheng, he quickly reached the boundary of Runan.  And headed towards the city where Li Tong was.  Li Tong occupied eight cities, so he naturally divided them into priorities.  His administrative seat is a place called Lingcheng.  After entering Runan, Chen Sheng ordered to speed up, passed many cities, and quickly arrived at Lingcheng.  "What a big and high city." At the front of the nine thousand elite soldiers, Chen Sheng led Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Fang Gu and others to stand on horseback. Chen Sheng raised his head and glanced at the mausoleum city, and suddenly let out an exclamation.  This is not the first time Chen Sheng has attacked such a small force.  It was just once for Jiang Guang.  However, comparing Li Tong and Jiang Guang, there is really a difference between underground and heaven.  Jiang Guang¡¯s fellow is a Yellow Turban general, and he has a mob under his command, and the city is in a very dilapidated state.  Li Tong is as famous as Wenpin, and his men are all brave and elite soldiers.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  The extraordinary city wall and the extremely majestic gate tower give people a majestic feeling.  In terms of scale, it is probably second only to Wancheng.  ??And the city is entirely yellow, looking new and unusual.  It can be seen that Li Tong took great care of this city and repaired it from time to time.  This is a tall and sturdy city.  On the top of the city gate, a pole was embroidered with the word "Li", and the general's flag fluttering in the wind showed that the owner of the city was Li Tong.  A general of Cao Wei who is as famous as Wenpin in history.  "The general is right. This city is really high and big. As long as we defeat Li Tong and occupy this city, we will not only save the entire Runan County, but also greatly expand our power. At the same time, we will reduce Cao Cao's power.  The power and defense of this city has been greatly increased. "Facing such a city, Liao Hua showed a strong desire to attack. He looked at Lingcheng with gleaming eyes, eager to try.  "Li Tong should not be underestimated. If we attack the city forcefully, we will definitely suffer heavy losses and the gains will not be worth the losses." Chen Sheng gave a solemn warning after hearing this, and then said: "On the contrary, as long as we station outside the city and contain Li Tong, we will  If you can easily gain access to most of the cities in Runan, why not do it? " "That's the truth, but the general is really uncomfortable looking at the general flag with the word "Li" on the city gate, so he changed it to "Chen".  "It's much more pleasing to the eye." Liao Hua said unhappily after hearing this.  Liao Hua has a straightforward nature. After following Chen Sheng for a long time, and as the relationship grows day by day, he has become more natural. He is not as cautious as when he first defected to Chen Sheng.  "There will be such a day." After listening to Liao Hua's speech, Chen Sheng found it a bit funny, but he also respected Liao Hua's ambition, so he said with a smile.  "Yeah." Liao Hua nodded and said.  "Order to set up camp and dispatch spies on a large scale. No matter day or night, we will pay close attention to the movements of the city. If Li Tong dares to act rashly, we will annihilate him." After continuing to observe the mausoleum for a while, Chen Sheng gave the order.  "Promise." Liao Hua and Fang Gu both agreed and went down to set up camp.  Soon after, a large camp covering an area of ??about one mile was built.  It¡¯s a bit small, but the camp is well-equipped with numerous tents, giving it a small but capable atmosphere.  Anyway, in this battle, Chen Sheng was neither careless nor nervous.  That is to say, the reason for not being careless is that Li Tong is strong and should not be underestimated for fear of capsizing in the gutter.  Even though he was not nervous, it was because Chen Sheng knew that as long as Li Tong was contained, the twenty or thirty cities would be within his grasp.  However, there is one thing that Chen Sheng underestimated: his influence.  "Is that Chen Sheng's army? Looking at its military camp, it is really extraordinary." On the opposite side of Lingcheng City, a general in golden armor was looking up at Chen Sheng's camp, showing a solemn expression.  This golden-armored general is about thirty years old. His appearance is unattractive, his upper body is longer than his lower body, and his upper and lower body have strange proportions. However, he is tall and tall, with bright eyes that seem to be polished.  It can be seen that this person is dull on the outside, but there is a shining point like gold on the inside.  This person is none other than General Zhenwei Zhonglang under Cao Cao, who led 6,000 troops to garrison in the northwest of Runan, General Li Tong.  There are also some people around Li Tong, who are all important generals under Li Tong's command or civil servants.  After these people saw Chen Sheng's military camp, most of them were solemn, and a few even showed fear.  After listening to Li Tong's words, everyone nodded heavily and agreed.  Seeing this scene,Tong Tong sighed secretly.  "Chen Sheng of Wancheng, a man of civil and military courage, defeated Cao Gong one after another and became famous all over the world. The prestige of this actually frightened many people under my command. It is really powerful." This is the influence that Chen Sheng does not know.  .  Yes, Chen Sheng knew that Li Tong was a general, as famous as Wenpin.  But he forgot about it. He was also a prince who dominated one side.  The reputation of losing to Cao Cao in a row is enough to scare many people.  In fact, Chen Sheng no longer needs to send spies all around the city to be prepared for Li Tong to send troops.  Li Tong had more than enough to guard the city, but there was no possibility of sending troops.  Except for Li Tong¡¯s generals, they were all more or less afraid of Chen Sheng.  Another point is that Li Tong only had 6,000 troops.  A head-on fight against Chen Sheng would cost at least 10,000 yuan.  If you want to compete for the twenty or thirty cities in Runan, you will have to face Liu Pi and Gongdu in Runan, and you will need at least five to six thousand elite soldiers.  "Anyway, Li Tong has no idea at all about the fight for Runan.  "The twenty or thirty cities in Runan, Yuan Shao's command, have always been rich. After Chen Sheng occupied these cities, he could get rid of Liu Biao's control and further grow and become stronger. The threat increased exponentially, which was extremely important to Cao Gong.  Bad news. But we can't fight for it, so we can only convey the news to Duke Cao and let him find a way to solve it." Finally, Li Tong sighed and said.  "No." The person beside Li Tong immediately responded and went down to deliver the news.  "If you give me 15,000 troops, I can compete with you. But now." After conveying the order, Li Tong felt bad. He looked at Chen Sheng's military camp with great reluctance, eager for a battle.  But unfortunately, there is insufficient strength and there is nothing we can do.  In the end, we can only watch Chen Sheng grow stronger in vain.  In this way, the two sides faced off under the mausoleum for half a month.  This day, the sun is shining brightly.  It's a very comfortable day.  "In Chen Sheng's military camp, although there has been no war for half a month, the soldiers still perform their duties and meticulously carry out the tasks assigned by their superiors, patrolling, or garrisoning the military camp.  The entire Chen Shengjun camp did not relax or slack off.  The guards outside the Chinese army's tent are still the most dense in the army.  From time to time, patrolling soldiers walked through.  Just like now, there are two teams composed of ten soldiers, crossing in front of the Chinese army's tent.  Their steps are steady, their momentum is fierce, and their power is amazing.  "Hahaha." However, soon the soldiers in the two teams all turned their heads, but it was because a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the Chinese army's tent.  The soldiers easily recognized the laughter of their General Jianzhong.  "What happened? Is the war in the southeast over?" the soldiers thought in their hearts, and they were all very happy.  And the soldiers¡¯ guess was not wrong.  In the southeast, the war against the twenty or thirty cities in Runan was over. Under the leadership of Li Yan, after three battles, the twenty or thirty cities were completely occupied in half a month.  During this period, due to Li Yan's excellent ability, our losses were not large.  Even during this process, Li Yan also surrendered many surrendered troops.  At this moment, inside the Chinese army¡¯s tent.  Chen Sheng was laughing and holding a bamboo slip in his hand.  The bamboo slips are the battle report.  It records in detail the course of the war and the prisoners taken in by Li Yan.  In addition, there is a roll of roster placed on the desk in front of Chen Sheng.  This is the roster of those twenty or thirty cities, which includes detailed records of the male and female population, officials, as well as all kinds of luggage and food.  After laughing, Chen Sheng looked at the name again.  As expected before the war, there were more than 100,000 civilians in the 20 or 30 cities in Runan.  Including the city originally occupied, the number of people reached more than 400,000.  Based on the ratio of population to military strength of ten to one, it is no problem to raise 40,000 troops.  Not to mention the food and various luggage obtained from the twenty or thirty cities in Runan.  This battle was indeed fruitful.  "Hahaha." Chen Sheng couldn't help but laughed again, Liu Biao, Cao Cao and the others, don't try to curb my development.  After laughing for a moment, Chen Sheng raised his head and scanned the tent.  At this moment, Chen Sheng was not the only one laughing. There were Fang Gu, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua in the tent.  "Draw up a list, confer Li Yan the title of Zhonglang General, and order him to recruit three thousand men from the surrendered troops to supplement the strength." Chen Sheng ordered to Fang Gu.  This is the consequence of Chen Sheng¡¯s calculation. At present,The strength of the city's forces was 37,000. Li Yanduo increased his strength by 3,000, giving him 4,000 elite troops.  This just makes the entire Wancheng force have 40,000 elite soldiers.  With more than 400,000 people, a ratio of ten to one was formed.  " Then this battle will be perfect. The city and population will be gained, a lot of money, food and equipment will be gained, and the army will be increased.  "Promise." Fang Gu promised, and then he, Liao Hua, and Zhou Cang smiled together, sincerely happy for the increase in power.  "Draw up a formal statement and recommend yourself to the Emperor of Han Dynasty as the governor of Runan County." Immediately, Chen Sheng ordered Fang Gu again.  Chen Sheng is also extremely persistent about the official position of Runan County Governor, which symbolizes the owner of a piece of land.  "Promise." Fang Gu promised again.  "Now that Runan has it, don't worry about Li Tong and retreat." Finally, Chen Sheng gave the order.  "Promise." All the generals agreed.  Soon after, Chen Sheng¡¯s camp began to move out.  "Most of the cities in Runan were finally taken by Chen Sheng." Li Tong, the general of Cao Wei who was respected by Chen Sheng and was as famous as Wenpin, led his troops to the city again when he heard that Chen Sheng was setting out to camp.  Looking at the scene of Chen Sheng breaking camp, Li Tong showed a bit of a wry smile and said.  In this battle, he really was of no use.  Although Chen Sheng went to the Emperor of Han Dynasty to ask for the position of Runan County Governor.  But that was just a formality. After Chen Sheng returned to Wancheng, he immediately claimed to be the governor of Runan County.  Since then, Chen Sheng has been the governor of Runan County, and he has been joined by General Zhong Jian.  He is a great prince who has more than forty cities and is so majestic that no one in the world can look down upon him.  In this battle, although Chen Sheng personally conquered Runan, he restrained Li Tong.  But the appointed general Li Yan was so good that he captured the city without much effort.  Li Tong, who thought it might be a serious threat in advance, made no move.  This process can be described as a breeze.  But for the princes of the world, especially Cao Cao who wanted to curb Chen Sheng's development and Liu Biao who wanted to control Chen Sheng, it was a heavy blow and made them very uncomfortable.  (To be continued.
