241 King Chen set up a list of talented people and sent large troops to attack all directions.

Whether it was a mob or not, Chen Sheng had more than 300,000 uprising men followed him. Next, he needed a large number of talents to help him command these people. However, most of the people around Chen Sheng were poor peasants with little education. Except for the few of them, Song Liu, Wu Chen, Han Guang, Li Liang, and Ge Ying, who were still capable, Chen Sheng had no capable helpers. So Chen Sheng sent people to post notices everywhere to recruit talents from all over the world to serve him.

Shortly after the notice was posted, there was a man named Zhou Wen, a native of Chen County. In the late Warring States Period, he looked at the Japanese in Xiang Yan's army to calculate the good and bad times. He served Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, and in the face of Chen Sheng's inquiry, he claimed that he knew the art of military affairs and could lead troops to attack the enemy for Chen Sheng. When Chen Sheng saw that he looked heroic and looked like a man of extraordinary force, he awarded General Zhou Wen's seal after he became king.

There was also a Wei native Zhang Er who was a regular visitor to Mr. Wuji (Xinling Jun). He once went to Waihuang for a desperate trip to Waihuang. A rich woman in a local family lost her husband. Her father's guest suggested to her: "If you want to find a good husband, follow Zhang Er." So the woman married Zhang Er and gave Zhang Er great support. Zhang Er was able to attract diners from all over the world and become the magistrate of Huang County outside Wei.

After the demise of the Wei State, Zhang Er lived in Waihuang. After Qin destroyed Wei several years, he learned through the intelligence department "Qin Yi" that Zhang Er and his friend Chen Yu were famous scholars in the Wei State. He offered a reward of 300 gold to capture Zhang Er and 500 gold to capture Chen Yu. So Zhang Er and his friend Chen Yu changed their names and fled to Chen land.

When Chen Sheng, the King of Zhang Chu, posted the order to recruit talents in the city, Zhang Er and his friend Chen Yu immediately revealed the list of recruitment and came to Chen Sheng, the King of Zhang Chu, to recommend themselves.

Chen Sheng was a farmer. Although he knew that he needed "intellectuals" like Zhang Er and Chen Yu to help him with government affairs, when he saw Zhang Er and a gentleman like Chen Yu coming to show his talent in front of him, Chen Sheng secretly felt inferior in his heart and had a sense of resistance to Zhang Er and Chen Yu, two famous scholars of the world.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu were so smart. Although Chen Sheng did not say anything dissatisfied with them at all, they still saw from Chen Sheng's expression that Chen Sheng was not very enthusiastic about them, but more of a perfunctory attitude. This discovery greatly hit Zhang Er and Chen Yu's self-esteem. After discussing it quietly in the camp arranged for them by Chen Sheng that night, the two of them finally decided to find another wise leader in the uprising army, rather than continuing to assist Chen Sheng.

In June two months after Chen Sheng became king, Chen Sheng began to summon his subordinates to discuss where the army should attack, rather than continue to station in Chen County to waste food and grass.

Zhou Wen, who has always been responsible for training soldiers, raised objections: "King, most of our soldiers are civilians who have just put down their hoes. If they go everywhere to conquer now, I am worried that they will suffer a great loss on the battlefield."

"Food, grass, food, grass,!!! Our food, grass, can no longer last for more than 300,000 people. If we don't capture a few counties in Qin, all the food and grass we have plundered before will be consumed!" Chen Sheng yelled a few times and rubbed his head, which was a little painful. The feeling of being a king in the past few months was not as comfortable as Chen Sheng expected. All the big and small matters of military and political affairs require his nod and approval. Many things that Chen Sheng had never heard of before need to be a king were handled. Chen Sheng, who originally thought that being a king only needed to be a "seeder", had the idea that being a king was not very happy in his heart for the first time.

Nowadays, food and grass are the reverse scales of the Zhang Chu regime. As long as you touch all the senior executives of the Zhang Chu regime in this area, you will feel that your heart is tight and your breathing is difficult. The only way to solve this problem in a short period of time is to continue to capture the Qin state's counties and counties in various places, seize a large amount of food and grass stored in various counties, complete the "nutrient" delivery of the Zhang Chu regime, and allow the Zhang Chu regime to continue.

"Zhou Wen, I will lead you to attack the west, and it is best to seize the Hangu Pass of Qin and block the hundreds of thousands of northern legions of Qin in Hetao to the west of Hangu Pass." Chen Sheng was not an ignorant person. After becoming the king of Zhang Chu's regime, he also had a certain degree of exploration of the military power of Qin and knew that at this time, 90% of the military forces of Qin were stationed in Hetao in the north and Baiyue in the south.

Chen Sheng knew that if he wanted the Zhang Chu regime to grow into an existence that could resist the Qin State's full counterattack, the most critical point was to first seize the Hangu Pass of Qin State, then annex the various counties and counties in Guandong of Qin State to turn these counties into his own territory, and finally use the opportunity of Qin State's power to separate and annihilate Qin State's power and let the Zhang Chu regime replace Qin State and become the overlord of the world, so that he can also ascend to the throne of the emperor!!

Zhou Wen took the military talisman handed to him by Chen Sheng and silently returned to the train. Although his reason was rejected by Chen Sheng because of food and grass issues, he still believed that dispatching those mobs now would bring great variables to the battlefield. This variable may lead to the failure of a war, may lead to the failure of the entire battle, and may even destroy the entire army! However, Zhou Wen did not dare to continue to make any comments to Chen Sheng, because he was afraid that Chen Sheng would seize his power to lead the army in anger.

"Ge Ying, I know that you made the first contribution when you captured Chen and Qi counties before. You are a rare general of my Zhang Chu. Now the King of Japan specially ordered you to lead 20,000 troops to capture Jiujiang County. Be sure to capture the entire Jiujiang area and seize the food and grass there." Chen Sheng turned around and said to the young general named Ge Ying beside him. Ge Ying Ying took the military talisman handed to him with a loud voice.

"Song Liu, I will give you 50,000 troops. You can take them to capture Nanyang for me! It is a transfer station for the Qin State to total the southern legion. If we seize that big granary, we can not only greatly alleviate the current food and grass problem, but also continue to recruit troops to fight against the Qin army." If we say that the capture of Hangu Pass was to prevent the attack of the Qin army's northern legion, and the capture of Nanyang was to use the food and grass reserved by Nanyang to alleviate the food crisis of the Zhang Chu regime.

Seeing that Chen Sheng divided most of the 300,000 troops into pieces, Zhang Er, who was standing at the end of the queue, could no longer bear it. They had a plan that needed the support of Chen Sheng's troops. If Chen Sheng was allocated and allocated almost all the available troops, when would they have to realize the expected plan?

If you want to know what happens next, you will see that you will not tear down again...
