Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest!

Yang Hong's strategy was to launch a surprise attack on Chen County with light troops to capture the thieves first and capture the king first.

This plan sounded very feasible, and Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction:"This plan is very good. I wonder which general is willing to lead a light force to raid Chen County?"

I saw a group of generals in the court, take a look I, I looked at you, but no one came forward to take orders.

Although Yang Hong's strategy sounds feasible, these generals under Yuan Shu are not fools.

The state of Chen was only a few hundred miles away from Xudu, and the king of Chen, Liu Chong, was brave and good at fighting. His archery skills were perfect and he had thousands of crossbowmen under his command.

Even if a light force attacks Chen County, is it so easy to win?

Once Chen County cannot be captured immediately, King Chen will mobilize the rest of Chen State's troops and horses to come to the rescue, and he will be trapped in Chen State's territory.

As for Xudu, which is hundreds of miles away, it would only take a few days for Cao Cao to send troops.

What's more, Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, was working in Ruyang, a hundred miles away from Chen County.

In the past few days, the story of how Cao Ang outmaneuvered Zhang Xiu's Jia Xu and defeated Zhang Xiu's thousand pursuers, as well as the story of Cao Ang's sharpshooting and bravery against Tian Feng in Xu Du's court, were also spread to Shouguang. spring.

All the generals under Yuan Shu were somewhat in awe of Cao Ang.

But everyone knows that the master Yuan Shu is narrow-minded, and he claims to be the fourth generation and the third prince, and he has always looked down on Cao Cao.

Therefore, he did not dare to mention how powerful Cao Ang, Cao Cao's son, was in front of Yuan Shu...

But in the hearts of all the generals, they all knew that Cao Ang was brave and resourceful.

In this case, unless you lead a large army to Chen State, you can attack or defend.

Even if it doesn't succeed, if you have enough troops, you can protect yourself and withdraw.

If he leads a surprise attack with only light troops, if things go wrong, his entire army will be annihilated and die in the Chen Kingdom...

Yuan Shu's face suddenly darkened when he saw that no one among the generals in the dynasty took orders, and he was about to scold him.

At this moment, a figure suddenly stood up from the end of the generals and said:"Your Majesty, General Zhang Kai is willing to accept the order! General Zhang has a clever plan in mind. Give me three thousand elite soldiers, which is enough to capture Chen State!"

When Yuan Shu saw someone standing up, he was immediately happy.

Although Zhang Kai is a surrendered general with a dirty record, at this moment when all the generals were silent, Zhang Kai was willing to stand up. Yuan Shu was still very happy:"I wonder what General Zhang has a clever plan?"

In the audience, Zhang Kai took a deep breath. Tone, knowing that if you want to be a surrendered general and seek wealth in Yuan Shu's court, you can do this in one fell swoop.

Zhang Kai was originally a Yellow Turban thief, but was later taken over by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian.

As a general under Tao Qian, he was ordered by Tao Qian to escort Cao Song's family who was passing through Xuzhou. However, Cai took advantage of Cai and killed Cao Song's family, Cao Cao's father, and robbed the Cao family's treasure.

Later, he was afraid of being chased by Cao Cao, so he came to Yuan Shu and presented most of his treasures as a declaration of surrender, asking for Yuan Shu's protection.

Although he has a place to settle down, due to his previous criminal record, he is not favored by other civil and military officials under Yuan Shu, and his status is very low.

Now that he finally had the opportunity to please Yuan Shu and become prominent in Zhong's court, Zhang Kai would not let it go!

So Zhang Kai took a deep breath and said:"This plan needs to be kept secret. The final general can only be told to His Majesty alone."

Yuan Shu's eyes flickered, and he did not trust Zhang Kai, a surrendered general with a criminal record.

But after taking a look at the hall, he saw that his trusted generals Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Ji Ling, Li Feng, etc. were all there. Before going to court, everyone was searched and handed over their weapons. Then he waved and said:"Then please invite Zhang General, come forward."

Zhang Kai stepped forward, whispered into Yuan Shu's ear, and told him his plan.

After hearing this, Yuan Shu's eyes lit up and he laughed loudly and said:"This is a wonderful plan!

General Zhang is indeed an excellent strategist. I will give you three thousand... no, five thousand elite soldiers will be commanded by you.

If you can capture Chen this time, I will remember General Zhang’s first contribution to the country!"

So, Yuan Shu sent General Zhang Kai with five thousand elite troops to prepare for a surprise attack on Chen Guo.……

……

A few days later, Chen County, Chen State.

In the official office, Chen Xiang Luo Jun was processing official documents.

Now that spring plowing is approaching, Luo Jun must be aware of the progress of spring plowing and the conditions of seeds, cattle, farm tools, etc. in the cities under Chen Guo's rule.

If there are any deficiencies, Luo Jun will coordinate and resolve them.

The plan for the year lies in spring, which is the most important season in Chen State.

In particular, Chen Wang Liu Chong and Cao Ang lost 10,000 shi of grain and grass in a bet many days ago, which made Luo Jungu even more motivated to increase this year's production to make up for the loss of 10,000 shi of grain and grass.

At this moment, an official came to report:"To inform the Prime Minister, there are a lot of refugees coming outside the city, about thousands.

They claimed that they could no longer survive in Runan, so they came to ask the Prime Minister to take them in."

Luo Jun Hearing the report, he frowned:"Refugees from Runan?

Aren't Runan under the rule of Yuan Shu? Just after Yuan Shu proclaimed the emperor and established the country, refugees from Runan came?

Previously, Yuan Shu sent someone to borrow food, but I refused. Thousands of refugees have arrived again. This matter is a bit strange. Please find out more about it.……"

The official was a rigorous person, so he gained Luo Jun's trust. He immediately said:"After we found out clearly, after Yuan Shu became emperor, he became more extravagant and consumed money and food quickly.

After borrowing food from Chen State was rejected, Yuan Shu He ordered an additional tax to be levied in Runan.

Now was the time for spring plowing, and the people were already in a lean period except for seeds. Where could there be any surplus food to hand over?

So Yuan Shu sent troops to rob people of their rations and seeds. These people in Runan really could n't live anymore. They heard that the Prime Minister was recruiting refugees and treating the people well, so they all brought their families to join them.

They said that they were the first batch, and there were more people coming later. On the way."

After hearing this, Luo Jun finally dispelled his doubts and felt relieved:"Since he is dragging his family with him, there must be no problem.

Everyone says that Yuan Shu is a dead man in the grave, and he is worthy of his reputation.

It's so great, but he doesn't care about practicing virtuous government and treating the people well.

Instead, he only cares about luxury and enjoyment, and even robs the people of their rations and grains!

Yuan Shu will not be able to survive for long.……"

While Luo Jun despised Yuan Shu, he said to the official:"First, take out a thousand shi of grain from the storehouse, set up a porridge shed outside the city, and let the people fill their stomachs.

Then count the number of refugees, and report it to me after the count. I will arrange them in various cities as appropriate and distribute farm tools and seeds for farming."

While making these arrangements, there was a bright light in Luo Jun's eyes.

Because the arrival of thousands of refugees will temporarily consume some food, but they will become a valuable asset to Chen State.

In the future, I can pay taxes to Chen Guo every year and contribute more food.

And it can also become a source of logistics and military strength for Chen State.

The resettlement of these thousands of refugees is a sign. Presumably the people in Runan who cannot survive under Yuan Shu's rule will come to join him one after another.

Chen Guo's national strength will be greatly improved in the short term!

At that time, we can even form an army with the young men selected from these Runan refugees as vanguards, and lead them back to Runan, seize Yuan Shu's territory, and strengthen the Chen Kingdom!
