It is said that Zhao Chen used a strategy to capture Jucheng, subdue Xiao Jian, and supplement the food and grass needed for the army to march north to Qingzhou.
Fortunately, there were not many direct conflicts, and the casualties of the 10,000-strong army were not serious.
Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao and Chen Dao were busy gathering the soldiers who surrendered in Jucheng, integrating some of them into the army, and sending the wounded to the military camp to the west of the city for treatment.
In the military camp, the infantry trainer was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and more than a thousand injured soldiers were brought in.
Zhao Chen looked a little distressed. A woman could not stay in the house and enjoy the happiness in peace, but she had to suffer all the hardships of the army.
He immediately ordered that all the doctors in Jucheng be called to the military camp to cooperate with Bu Lianshi in the treatment.
So that the trainer can take a breath.
But Lianshi Bu smiled and advised: "If you are kind enough, let some doctors go back. There will be no one to treat the common people when they are sick."
Zhao Chen disagreed for the first time, but arranged a corresponding place where doctors could treat the people in the city near the military camp.
Those injured in Zhao Chen's army all knew Bu Lianshi and treated her with respect.
But the soldiers in Jucheng didn't know each other, and there were rumors in private as to why there was a woman in the military camp.
On this day, Zhao Chen's military camp was handling business, and suddenly there was a lot of noise outside the camp.
The guards outside the camp hurried in and shouted: "Military advisor, something serious has happened."
Zhao Chen replied calmly: "Don't panic when something happens. What's going on?"
The guard didn't even have time to take a breath, and then said: "General Chen and the soldiers recruited from Jucheng started fighting."
Zhao Chen frowned. This matter was appropriate for Yide. Why was Uncle Zhi so impulsive?
He got up and hurried out of the camp.
There was a group of people surrounding the entrance of the military camp. Soldiers from all major camps were watching, and some were shouting and cheering.
When all the soldiers saw Zhao Chen arriving, they all made way for him.
In the middle of the crowd was a man in his twenties, holding a long sword and fighting with Chen Dao. The two of them went back and forth for many rounds.
I saw that the man's steps were light and his skills were strong. The sword in his hand was like a dragon. He shuttled back and forth under Chen Dao's pressure without falling behind at all.
Zhao Chen is very clear about Chen Dao's martial arts. Even if he confronts Zhang Fei, he can still defeat him.
From this point of view, this man's swordsmanship is not inferior to that of Chen Dao, he is a usable warrior, and he may be able to use it if he goes north to Qingzhou.
Zhao Chen suddenly felt excited and shouted loudly: "What kind of weapons do brothers usually use?"
The man didn't show any pretense and immediately shouted: "Big sword!"
Xiao Jian, who had just surrendered, looked panicked, fearing that if Zhao Chen got angry, he would drag the entire Jucheng to be buried with him.
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Okay, bring two horses, take a big sword, and give it to this brother."
The man heard this and laughed loudly: "Okay, let's have a good fight today."
Chen Dao also became interested in an instant. He was just sighing at his opponent's martial righteousness. It's just that he is not good at using swords, so he can't really compete with him. Now that he has the permission of the military advisor, he can let go and compete.
Suddenly, the shouts in the military camp became louder.
The two men mounted their horses, held knives and guns, and glared at each other.
The man struck first, raising his sword high and quickly lowering it.
Chen Dao waved his gun away and stabbed sideways.
The spear followed the handle of the knife and struck the man.
The man was slightly startled, blocked the spear with his backhand, and slashed with the knife.
The two of them fought more and more vigorously. After fifty rounds, the man's sword skills became slightly chaotic, and the surrounding soldiers kept screaming in surprise.
Zhao Chen immediately stopped, called the two of them to him, and asked with great interest: "Who are you?"
Xiao Jian, who was standing by, saw Zhao Chen and thought that Zhao Chen was going to make trouble, so he hurriedly explained: "Wen Xiang just wants to compete with General Chen in martial arts and has no other intention."
Wen Xiang?
When Zhao Chen heard this, he frowned and asked, "Are you Xu Sheng?"
The man was slightly startled and asked, "How does the military advisor know my name?"
Zhao Chen was overjoyed.
Xu Sheng is known as Jiangdong's fiercest man and is extremely brave. He is one of the twelve tiger ministers of Jiangdong. Although he is not a handsome man, he is definitely a reliable warrior, especially in water battles.
Historically, Xu Sheng used less than 200 soldiers to resist the thousands of people led by Huang Zu's son Huang She, and defeated them.
In the year when Cao Cao marched into Ruxukou, Xu Sheng was riding a storm and encountered a storm. His boat landed on the enemy's shore.
Naturally, Zhao Chen cannot let go of such a general.
Zhao Chen originally thought that Xu Sheng had gone to Jiangdong to escape the war, but he didn't expect that he was still in his hometown of Jucheng.
"Any position in the military now?"
"Return to the strategist, Centurion!"
"Okay, starting today, you will follow Chen Dao, serve as a partial general, and follow our army north to Qingzhou. Are you willing?"
Xu Sheng was overjoyed and knelt down on one knee: "Thank you, military advisor!"
Chen Dao was a little confused and wanted to ask Zhao Chen, but Cheng Yu stopped him and explained: "The general and Xu Wenxiang fought for fifty rounds with no outcome, so the military advisor arranged for this person to be under the general's account. He is the military advisor." Respect the general."
"Mr. Zhongde, what do you mean?"
"General, just imagine, the general's status in the army is second only to the military counselor and General Yide. If you can't even win a centurion in the army, how will you convince the people in the future? The military counselor arranged for this person to be under the general's tent, just to make him Everyone in the camp knows that the general's status is unshakable, and it dispels everyone's doubts so that the general can lead the troops smoothly. Furthermore, it also gives confidence to the soldiers in the camp. Anyone who has martial arts will be promoted by the military advisor."
Chen Dao nodded: "Mr. Zhongde's words are so enlightening. Thank you very much, sir."
Zhao Chen returned to the camp happily, thinking about another thing.
There were many outstanding generals and counselors in Langya Kingdom, and Xu Sheng was one of them.
Another more important thing is the Langya Zhuge family. Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun have followed their uncle Zhuge Xuan to Yuzhang. According to historical progress, only Zhuge Jin should be left in Yangdu.
Now that Xu Sheng has been included in the account, Zhuge Jin cannot miss it.
The next day, Zhao Chen led Lu Xun, Zhang Liao and Xiao Jian, leading an army of three thousand, all the way to Yangdu City.
Xiao Jian came forward, and Zhao Chen's three thousand troops came to the city. Yangdu opened the city gate without any resistance.
Yangdu is at the junction of the forces of Xiao Jian and Zang Ba. The two forces often interact with each other. Therefore, civil wars continue in the city, and many people have to leave their homes and flee to other counties.
Those who can stay are either big family members who will not be affected by the war and can even rely on the war to seek family interests; or they are ordinary people who have nothing when they leave their hometown and have no choice but to stay in Yangdu; and a small number of people, He has different feelings for Yang Du and doesn't want to leave.
After entering the city, Zhao Chen asked for directions, went straight to the topic, and walked towards Zhuge's mansion.
Zhuge Jin was taking a nap in his mansion at this time.
Zhao Chen led Lu Xun and Zhang Liao to stand outside the door, waiting quietly for Zhuge Jin to wake up.
After a long time, the sun passed three poles.
Zhuge Jin stood up slowly and was shocked when he heard that Zhao Chen and others had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time, and hurriedly invited everyone in.
Zhao Chen did not beat around the bush and said directly: "I have heard about Mr. Ziyu's name for a long time. I am here today. I would like to invite you to join my lord Liu Xuande and rule the world together."
Zhuge Jin was slightly shocked when he heard this.
He has always been concerned about world affairs. He has heard of Zhao Chen for a long time. But today, when he saw him, he was indeed extraordinary. His words were straightforward and full of confidence. He actually said that he wanted to win the world.
What a strange person.
