The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Hearing the sound of gongs and drums outside the city, and the galloping horses, my heart became tense.

Unexpectedly, the enemy did not come to attack the city, but after giving them a warning, they retreated a hundred feet and set up camp to rest.

This operation stunned Kuai Liang. Not only that, but the guards on the city tower were also stunned by Liu Zheng's operation. They didn't know whether to continue to guard here for a while. Still go away like this.

Of course, Kuai Liang would not let them disperse, but let these city defenders continue to stay on the tower in full battle, ready to guard against the attacks of the enemies below the city.

After all, fighting a war is all about scheming, and the difference between reality and fiction may determine the outcome.

Kuai Liang didn't dare to be careless at all.

Kuai Liang's preparations were indeed not completely ineffective. After Liu Zheng's troops set up camp, they continued to move out and started running around the entire Runan City.

As soon as Liu Zheng's men and horses moved, the defenders on the tower began to get nervous, and they immediately stood up for battle.

However, this time, it was obviously just a test. Liu Zheng didn't really want to rely on these cavalry under his command to launch an attack on Runan City.

Kuai Liang was not interested in his words of persuading them to surrender, so Liu Zheng couldn't make them feel better. During the siege, false attacks were still necessary.

The purpose is actually very simple, that is, I don't want Kuai Liang's men to rest in Runan City.

Liu Zheng needs to mobilize their nervousness so that they cannot maintain a good rest state.

Wait until Liu Zheng's reinforcements arrive and really want to launch an attack. It really takes no effort to defeat them.

Then directly capture the Runan City.

Although it seems simple, it really takes a lot of acting skills to make Kuai Liang in this city fall into the trap.

Liu Zheng didn't play in person, he ordered Xu Huang to send soldiers and horses to run around the city in batches as if they were freeing the horses.

After running around, the defenders in the city all became nervous.

They dare not be careless. After all, if they are a little careless, they will not have time to stop them if they really attack the city, so they can only be prepared at all times.

Running a few times a day can make even the most energetic person feel a little sleepy.

Moreover, Liu Zheng didn't intend to end it here, and even sent people to harass them at night, so that they would not have a good rest.

Of course, Liu Zheng didn't need to do these things himself. At this time, Liu Zheng took Liu Chong back to Chen State, intending to take over the soldiers who stayed in Chen State.

Runan is very close to Chen Guo, and Liu Chong, the king of Chen, returned to Chen Guo in person.It didn't take much effort to reach the palace of Chen Guo directly.

Chen Guo is the only place in the nearby states and counties that has not suffered any wars.

When Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang and Runan before, he actually wanted to include all these vassal states near Chen State into his territory.

However, Yuan Shu was always wary of Liu Chong's strength, so he didn't take the initiative to attack Liu Chong.

After all, Liu Chong had gathered 10,000+ people in Chen Guo at that time.These 10,000+ troops are all soldiers and horses that can participate in the war, but only 4 to 10,000 soldiers were actually recruited by Liu Chong, because his identity is different, after all, he is a prince, once he really mobilized ten There are more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, which will definitely arouse the fear of the court, so for his own sake, Liu Chong did not really recruit [-]+ people.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shu never dared to attack Chen Guo.

Later, after Yuan Shu was eliminated, Liu Biao was also afraid of Liu Chong's strength and did not act rashly.

After just a few years, the development of Chen Guo is getting better and better, and it is one of the few peaceful places near Yuzhou.

At this time, Liu Zheng brought Liu Chong here.

Liu Zheng did not express his identity, but let Liu Chong lead a group of people directly into the palace.

At this time, Luo Jun is temporarily controlling the palace.

As the Prime Minister of Chen Guo, Luo Jun is actually equivalent to the position of Chen Jun's prefect.

The Han Dynasty practiced a system of parallel counties and states. The fiefdom of a vassal state was almost as large as a county, and the princes had a high degree of autonomy in the vassal state, but they had no military power, which was generally in the hands of the prime minister.

This left the princes and kings with little strength to rebel.Because they have no ability at all, and the military power is in the hands of the prime minister, and they may use it to rebel.

However, unlike other counties, the relationship between Chen Guo's Prime Minister Luo Jun and Liu Chong is very harmonious, and Liu Chong himself is a powerful figure.

He has a lot of martial arts himself, so he was able to govern Chen Guo well together with Luo Jun.

Hearing that Liu Chong had returned, Luo Jun, the prime minister of the country, was very surprised.

He tried all kinds of hard work but failed to rescue Liu Chong from Liu Zheng's men. He didn't expect Liu Chong to come back by himself.

Under the instructions of his servants, Luo Jun immediately entered the palace and met Liu Chong.

As soon as he saw Luo Jun, Liu Chong spoke to Luo Jun first.

"Guo Xiang, long time no see, I miss you so much!"

During the time Liu Zheng was imprisoned in Wu County, Liu Chong really had a bad time.Although he was not abused by Liu Zheng, he was locked up in the yard alone.It's always worse not having freedom.

For those friends in my family, I must also miss them very much. Now that I finally see Luo Jun, Liu Chong is naturally a little emotional.

"Your Majesty is finally back, but I really want to kill you. I sent many people to rescue you, but they didn't succeed!"

As soon as he saw Liu Chong, Luo Jun began to talk about his hard work, mainly because Luo Jun was also worried that Liu Chong had come back by himself, and he was afraid that Liu Chong would blame him, so he didn't go to rescue him.

Although they have a good relationship, it is better to explain this kind of life-threatening matter clearly.

"Guo Xiang, I'm fine now, I'm back, hurry up and order some wine and meat, I want to have a good meal first!"

Liu Chong didn't think too much about these things, as soon as he came back, he just wanted to have a meal in a familiar place first, and then slowly deal with the things Liu Zheng told him.

Just as Luo Jun was about to agree, he saw Liu Zheng beside Liu Chong.

However, he had never seen Liu Zheng, and at first glance, he did not recognize Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, who is this?"

Although Liu Zheng was not recognized, Liu Zheng and the guards brought by Liu Zheng's side had aroused Luo Jun's suspicion.

"Oh? He, he will be my lord from now on."

Liu Chong is very calm. Now that he has taken refuge in Liu Zheng, he thinks clearly.

"My lord?"

Luo Jun was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed.

Chapter 784 The Worthy Prime Minister Luo Jun

Liu Chong is already the king of Chen.

Liu Chong's lord can only be the emperor.

Naturally, the person in front of him couldn't be the Emperor Han of the imperial court.

Emperor Han of the imperial court is still just a doll.

The only possibility is that the person in front of him is Liu Zheng, who just proclaimed himself emperor not long ago.

After realizing that the person next to Liu Chong is Liu Zheng, it is not difficult for Luo Jun to understand why Liu Chong returned suddenly after thinking about it.

Luo Jun is very smart, although he has already guessed the identity of the person next to Liu Chong, but he did not point it out.

Instead, according to Liu Chong's instructions, in this palace, a table of wine and food was prepared to cleanse Liu Chong.

For this, Liu Zheng did not refuse, and ate and drank with Liu Chong at the palace.

The reason why Liu Zheng is not worried that people like Luo Jun will tamper with the dishes is also because Liu Zheng has already let his Jin Yiwei mix into the palace, and Dian Wei and others are by his side. Try it first.

Liu Zheng thought that Liu Chong and others should not do such a stupid thing.

The wine is over thirty.

There are not many guests in this palace.

Only Luo Jun, Liu Chong and others were left present.

In fact, Liu Zheng also understood that Luo Jun was the biggest obstacle to coming to Chen Guo and subduing those soldiers and horses that originally belonged to Chen Guo.

If Luo Jun doesn't agree, then it will take a lot of effort for Chen Guo's soldiers to be under Liu Zheng's command.

But if Luo Jun also agrees to join Liu Zheng, then basically nothing serious will happen.

With the strength of wine, Liu Zheng began to speak to Luo Jun.

"Mr. Luo Jun, I haven't seen your name for a long time. I have always wanted to visit you, and it is a pleasure to meet you today."

"My lord has given you too much praise, little Luo Jun, how can you fall into the eyes of your lord."

In fact, before coming here, Liu Zheng had already asked Liu Chong about Luo Jun's affairs, and actually had a relatively good understanding of Luo Jun.

Compared with other celebrities of the Three Kingdoms, a person like Luo Jun is not a qualified military adviser, but he is an excellent internal affairs talent.

When Luo Jun was young, he worked as a small official in Kuaiji County. The prefect saw that he was proficient in classics and history, as well as military strategy, so he paid special attention to him and observed him carefully. He believed that Luo Jun's character and ability were exactly what the court asked for. As the best candidate, Luo Jun was recommended to the emperor as "Xiaolian" according to the usual practice.

Luo Jun was summoned to Luoyang, the capital, and at first served as Shang Shulang, directly helping the emperor.Treating people with others is quite popular with some royal relatives.Emperor Hanling agreed to King Chen's request and ordered Luo Shi to go to Chen State to be the country's prime minister.

The Prime Minister of the State is the chief executive, whose rank is equivalent to that of the prefect of the county.When Luo Jun arrived in Chen State, he felt like a fish in water.Work together with Chen Wang to first focus on agricultural production and social security.King Chen valued him very much and praised him as a good prime minister.

When the Yellow Turban Army revolted, the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang and Runan was invincible, and the officials in the counties and counties who were frightened left the city and fled.Farmers everywhere responded.Chen Wang Liu Chong's family has a large number of strong bows and arrows.He recruited a group of warriors to guard Chen County, the capital of Chen State, and took strict precautions against all intersections outside the city.

Since Chen State has no internal response, there can be no chaos, so the social order is more peaceful than other counties. Many people in neighboring counties who suffered from the war, supporting the old and the young, came to Chen State to escape the disaster. There were as many as 10,000+ people.

Luo Jun's job as a state minister is mainly to govern the people. He always puts the direct interests of the people first, and from the perspective of loving the people for the people, while innovating and leading the development of food production, he vigorously rewards childbirth.

After the folk women give birth, regardless of whether they are boys or girls, he will send a generous portion of rice and livestock meat to the mothers to take care of their bodies so that they can better raise their babies, and explain that this is the kindness of King Chen.This made the people of Chen Guo sincerely thank Luo Jun.

When the folks gave birth to babies, no matter they were male or female, they were all named with the character "Luo" for a while, which fully reflected the love and admiration of the people of Chen State for Luo Jun.Luo Junzhi's prefecture is well-equipped, so that King Chen and Liu Chong have a strong backing in military defense operations to defend the security of Chen State.

At that time, the territory of Chen State was not damaged by the war, the society was stable, and the people were willing to obey Luo Jun's government orders.The government and the people live in harmony, the farmers are diligent in production, the weather is beautiful, and the grain harvests are bumper year after year.In other places, natural disasters continued one after another. Only every household in Chen State lived and worked in peace and contentment, with food and clothing.

Neighboring counties and counties were divided into separate regimes, and frequent wars caused the people to live in dire straits.Luo Jun was prepared for danger in times of peace, and cooperated with Liu Chong to do a good job of defense to ensure the safety of the people. The war in the neighboring counties caused the people to flee, because it was close to Chen State, and the victims flooded into the territory of Chen State.Luo Jun gave generously and enthusiastically to the hungry people from outside like he did to the people of Chen country.

He ordered the public warehouses to be opened, and the grain was brought out for distribution.As a result, tens of thousands of refugees who were on the verge of starvation survived.Luo Jun also donated his salary, sewed a large number of clothes, and donated them to the victims of the cold to keep out the cold.

Being able to keep one party safe in this troubled world is enough to demonstrate Luo Jun's ability to govern.

Along the way, when heading to Chen Country, Liu Chong always praised Luo Jun's ability.

He counted all kinds of deeds that Luo Jun did when he was the Prime Minister of Chen Guo, each of which convinced Liu Chong, which is why King Chen Liu Chong trusted and loved the Prime Minister Luo Junhui so much.

Liu Zhengben didn't know much about Luo Jun, because Luo Jun, like Liu Chong, was capable, but was assassinated by assassins sent by Yuan Shu in history.

This assassin is still Zhang Kai, commander of Jinyiwei under Liu Zheng.

Because he died too early in history, he failed to leave a strong mark in history.

Therefore, the reputation of Luo Jun and Liu Chong in the late Han Dynasty was not high enough.

However, just listening to Liu Chong talk about Luo Jun's deeds in recent years is enough for Liu Zheng to have a general understanding of Luo Jun. With these abilities alone, Luo Jun is qualified to be the Prime Minister of a country.

Now it is a little overkill to be the prime minister of a county in this district.

"Mr. Luo Jun, you must have guessed my identity. Since I am in front of smart people, I will not hide my identity. I am Liu Zheng who just proclaimed himself emperor not long ago."

Liu Zheng took the initiative to talk about his identity to Luo Jun.

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, there was no surprise on Luo Jun's face. Obviously, he had already guessed before Liu Zheng opened his mouth, so he was so calm.

"Sure enough, it's Liu Zheng. It seems that I guessed right."

"Mr. Luo Jun, in fact, King Chen has already taken refuge in me now. I wonder if Mr. Luo Jun has the ambition to restore peace to the world?"

What Liu Zheng said was not straightforward, but the intention of soliciting was already obvious.

Chapter 785 Another Famous Official

Liu Zheng hoped that Luo Jun would join him.

Not only because of Luo Jun's support, Liu Zheng was able to quickly get these soldiers and horses here in Chen Guo, but also because of Luo Jun's talent, which is rare.

After all, what Liu Zheng lacks the most is internal affairs talents like Luo Jun.

In fact, it is not scarce. After all, Liu Zheng now has Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others under his command. However, talents like Luo Jun are still needed. The territory under his jurisdiction is too large, and there are many comprehensive considerations.

If Luo Jun can rely on Liu Zheng, but can let Liu Zheng have more choices.

Of course, if Luo Jun doesn't take refuge in him, Liu Zheng has nothing to do.

After all, Liu Zheng is not a bloodthirsty person. If Luo Jun is really not a fellow traveler and does not intend to join Liu Zheng, then Liu Zheng can only give up.

After all, Liu Zheng couldn't bear to kill a celebrity like Luo Jun.

But obviously, a smart person like Luo Jun doesn't reject Liu Zheng that much, especially now that Liu Chong has already taken refuge in Liu Zheng, so Luo Jun naturally has nothing to say.

If there is nothing against Liu Zheng, it is logical to take refuge in Liu Zheng.

"Luo Jun doesn't have any great ambitions, he just wants to protect the well-being of the people in one side."
