A military general with a resolute face followed Xue Rengui.

Chu Tian was sure that this was Xu Sheng, the famous general of Soochow.

In addition to Sun Jian, Sun Ce and several general governors in Soochow, the strongest generals were Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng.

For a general born in Soochow, one can doubt his ability in land warfare, but there is no doubt about his ability in water warfare.

Although Xu Sheng was a diamond-level general, in Chu Tian's eyes, Xu Sheng was more useful than a king-level general in a water battle.

"I have learned of your intention. You want to borrow troops to defeat Wu Sangui. Please forgive me for refusing."

Xu Sheng did not expect that Chu Tian would reject his request before he opened his mouth.

Xu Sheng's eyes were dim. He thought that Chu Tian, ​​who had a mortal enemy with Wu Sangui, would readily lend troops to avenge him. However, he miscalculated.

"In the battle in Yangdu County, you almost shot my beloved general."

When Chu Tian said this, Hua Mulan, who was following him, trembled in her heart. It turned out that this was what the lord thought...

In fact, Chu Tian just said it casually, making Xu Sheng feel guilty. If one party feels guilty during the negotiation, he will be passive.

"but……"

Chu Tian's voice changed and he tried to catch him.

He found that he could not recruit generals from the Three Kingdoms in the conventional way.

The examples of Zang Ba and Sun Guan made Chu Tian understand the truth that since ancient times, deep love cannot be retained, only tricks can win people's hearts.

A somewhat desperate Xu Sheng seemed to be grasping at the last straw: "As long as I can avenge my late master, I wish my liver and brains would be wiped out!"

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but even if I lend you 10,000 troops, you may not be able to defeat Wu Sangui. He annexed the troops of Qi Xiaobai, Chang Xi, and Ling Feng, and he has tens of thousands of troops, and he is dominating one side.

…”

Chu Tian deliberately exaggerated Wu Sangui's strength and continued to put pressure on Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng couldn't decide who was better, Wu Sangui or himself.

He and Wu Sangui had a shopping spree in the city, which was not a head-on confrontation.

Wu Sangui was the commander-in-chief of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, the King of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty, and also had the special unit Guanning Cavalry.

Xu Sheng could not compete with Wu Sangui at his peak on land.

Xu Sheng gritted his teeth: "But I'm not willing to do it."

"I can personally send troops to help you, but you have to pay the price?"

"What price?"

"Always be loyal to me and never betray me."

The picture of Chutian shows the poor dagger.

He has forced Xu Sheng into a desperate situation, and only Chu Tian can avenge him.

Xu Sheng's expression changed uncertainly, and he seemed to be struggling in his heart. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to be loyal."

"Ding! You have obtained the allegiance of the diamond-level general Xu Sheng."

Finally captured the first general from the Three Kingdoms period!

Chu Tian looked calm on the surface, but he was a little excited inside.

This feeling of forcing wild generals to surrender is more addictive than using recruitment orders to obtain generals.

Originally supposed to be a general from Soochow, he became the first general from the Three Kingdoms conquered by Chu Tian.

Chu Tian took a quick glance at Xu Sheng's attributes.

…

There are no negative characteristics. Although he is not a first-rate general, he can be said to be a very practical general among the second-rate generals.

The generals in the Three Kingdoms period were generally very high-level, and Xu Sheng was close to his peak, with a command and force level of 80. No wonder he fought back and forth with Zhou Yafu in Yangdu, and almost shot Hua Mulan.

Chu Tian would not blame Xu Sheng for Hua Mulan.

For Xu Sheng at that time, he was just serving his lord and never imagined that such a day would come to him.

The characteristic of Xu Sheng is that the fewer troops he brings, the better his troops can fight. Theoretically, with dozens or hundreds of soldiers, Xu Sheng can exert his maximum combat power.

However, having too few troops is dangerous. This feature is a double-edged sword and is not that powerful. If there are too many troops, there will be almost no bonus. If there are too few, the whole army will be easily wiped out.

There is no perfect general.

Chutian couldn't expect a diamond-level general to be perfect.

Xu Sheng's loyalty points are only 65 points, obviously because he has not completely surrendered yet.

If you help Xu Sheng get revenge, his loyalty can be greatly improved.

Sure enough, it was difficult to conquer a general from the Three Kingdoms period. Xu Sheng's allegiance was only temporary. Once he found that Chu Tian could not help him avenge him, he might leave the country.

"I wonder if my lord can send troops now? I am familiar with the road leading to Ju County. As long as my lord sends more than ten thousand troops, it will be enough to defeat Wu Sangui."

After Xu Sheng took refuge in Chutian, he couldn't wait to borrow troops to destroy Wu Sangui.

Chu Tian said: "No."

"Why?"

"I still need some time to rest. Furthermore, Wu Sangui has tens of thousands of troops and a fortified city. It is not easy to destroy them in one battle. Furthermore, other lords are eyeing me. Either they can't afford the troops, or they can win in one battle.

burden."

Chu Tian was not in a hurry to avenge Xu Sheng, but first recruited Xu Sheng under his command to stabilize him.

"When can we send troops?"

"I promise you that we will raise troops within three months. During this period, you should recover from your injuries first. I think you are not willing to fight Wu Sangui with your injuries and then die at Wu Sangui's hands. In that case, what do you look like?

Meet your old master?"

"The general is worried!"

Xu Sheng is not a reckless general, so he can listen to advice.

Because Chu Tian promised to send troops within three months, Xu Sheng's loyalty increased to 69 points. Xu Sheng knew that Chu Tian had several powerful cavalry generals under his command, which would give him an advantage when fighting in the Yihe and Shuhe plains. If

Chutian planned to personally conquer Wu Sangui, so it was impossible for Chutian's generals not to go out.

If Chu Tian personally conquered Wu Sangui, he would have a greater chance of winning than if Xu Sheng borrowed troops to defeat Wu Sangui.

"Next, you and Sun Liuwan will be responsible for commanding the naval camp. You will serve as the commander-in-chief and Sun Liuwan will serve as the deputy general. All the naval forces in our Xia City will be handed over to you. From now on, you will be the tiger minister of Xia City."

Chu Tianyu patted Xu Sheng's shoulder sincerely to show his attention.

The total navy in Xia City he mentioned was actually only five hundred, and most of them were oarsmen... As for the ships, there were only ten warships and a few sentry boats...

Probably feeling Chutian's attention and sincerity, Xu Sheng's loyalty rose to 70 points.

Chutian recruited the silver-level general Sun Liuwan. Sun Liuwan's attributes were far different from Xu Sheng's. However, in order to appease Sun Liuwan, the first commander of the Xiacheng Navy Camp, Chutian raised his salary as

compensate.
