Three days passed quickly, and the screen that covered the sky appeared out of thin air again.
"He's here."
Everyone in the world, no matter what they were doing, put down their work and found a comfortable place to look at the rankings.
At this moment, Chu Feng's voice rang out.
"Rank 12 of the Advisor Board, Cheng Yu."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared on the screen.
He was eight feet and three inches tall, with a beautiful beard and slightly white sideburns.
This person was Cheng Yu.
"I didn't expect this old man to actually be on the rankings despite not being willing to be an official.
However, this old man is called Cheng Li. Why is it called Cheng Yu?”
In Dong'e, East County, Yanzhou, Cheng Li, who was in his fifties, looked at himself in the picture. His eyes lit up and revealed a hint of doubt.
" Cheng Yu," Chu Feng continued." His real name is Cheng Li, also known as Zhong De. He's from Dong 'e County, Yanzhou Province. He's from a Humble Class.
In the seventh year of Guanghe, 184, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out. Wang Du, the county magistrate of Dong'e County, responded and burned down the granary of Dong 'e County.
The county magistrate of Dong'e County had abandoned the city and fled. Most of the county soldiers had also fled with their families.
Cheng Li found that after Wang Du obtained an empty city, he didn't defend the city. Instead, he set up camp a few miles west of the city, so he came up with a plan.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene changed.
Cheng Li went to Xue Fang and the others, who were from the big families in the county, and said,"Everyone, although Wang Du has occupied Dong'e County, he has not defended the city.
From this, it could be seen that his goal was not to attack the city, but to seize the opportunity to plunder resources.
This was their path to defeat.
Since they have no intention of defending the city, why can't we return to the city and defend it?
The city walls are tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We also have a large amount of food, enough to hold on for a long time.
As long as the county magistrate was found, everyone would hold on together. After a long time, Wang Du would run out of food and would definitely be defeated.
At that time, we can launch a surprise attack and defeat Wang Du in one fell swoop.”
Xue Fang listened to Cheng Li's plan and deeply agreed.
However, the people and soldiers who fled the city were unwilling to return to the city, nor were they willing to look for the magistrate.
Cheng Li tried to persuade him for a long time but to no avail. He was so angry that he almost stomped his feet and said angrily,"Foolish people cannot conspire together."
Then, he turned around and left. He secretly sent several people to raise the flag on East Mountain.
"When you see the banners, shout that the rebel soldiers have arrived," he told Xue Fang and the others.”
Xue Fang and the others followed the plan. When they saw the flag, they shouted and ran down the mountain to the city.
Seeing this, the soldiers and commoners did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly ran down the mountain.
Not long after, Cheng Li found the county magistrate of Dong'e County and persuaded him to return to the city and defend it.
Not long after, Wang Du led his army to attack the city, but they could not break through for several days.
He did not have much food with him, so he could only retreat.
At this moment, Cheng Li led the county soldiers to open the city gates and charge out, defeating Wang Du's army in one fell swoop and protecting Dong'e County.
Dong'e County's magistrate, soldiers, commoners, and large families were all grateful to Cheng Li.
The Dong'e County Magistrate wanted to recommend Cheng Li as the Dong'e County Magistrate, but Cheng Li declined.
Seeing this, everyone in the world was amazed.
"This Cheng Li's courage and strategy are not bad.”
"This Cheng Li can be ranked 12th, so I don't have too many doubts about his strategy.
I'm just curious. Cheng Li is already in his forties. How long can he live before he can show the ability to surpass Pang Tong and the other strategists?”
In Dongwu Yang, East County, Chen Gong frowned as he looked at Cheng Li.
"Cheng Li of the East? I wonder which dukedom will he assist in the end? I hope it's not Cao Cao."
As long as they didn't assist Cao Cao, they would be able to rope him in and deal with Cao Cao together. This way, he would have more confidence.
However, this person came from a poor family and probably did not have a good impression of the Yanzhou aristocrats.
Thinking of this, he could not help but frown again.
"Find a few men of sacrifice and go to Dong Ah to keep an eye on Cheng Li. Don't alarm him.”
Chen Gong thought for a moment and said to the servant beside him.
"Yes!"
The servant bowed and left.
After the servant left, Chen Gong continued to look up at the scene in the sky.
Chu Feng's voice continued to ring out.
"Three years after Chuping, year 192.
When the Yanzhou governor Liu Dai heard of Cheng Li's name, he wanted to summon Cheng Li to his side to listen to orders.
Not long after, Liu Dai formed an alliance with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan sent Fan Fang to help Liu Dai guard Yanzhou.
Later, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan started a war.
At this time, Yuan Shao's wife lived in Yanzhou.
After Gongsun Zan defeated Yuan Shao's army, he sent someone to ask Liu Dai for Yuan Shao's wife and asked Liu Dai to break off relations with Yuan Shao.
If not, he would withdraw Fan Fanghe's troops stationed in Yanzhou.
Liu Dai was unable to make a decision.
Yanzhou don't drive Wang Yu said, Cheng Li strategy is extraordinary, he may have a way.
Hearing this, Liu Dai quickly called Cheng Li over and asked him for a good plan.”
On the screen, Cheng Yu listened to Liu Dai's story and said,""General, Gongsun Zan is far away in Youzhou, and Yuan Shao is next to Yanzhou. It is not a wise choice to give up near aid and seek far aid.
Moreover, although Gongsun Zan has the upper hand now, in my opinion, he is no match for Yuan Shao. He will definitely be defeated by Yuan Shao in the future.
If the general focused on the immediate gains and losses and did not make long-term plans, he would definitely lose in the future.”
After Liu Dai heard this, he finally made up his mind and refused to hand over Yuan Shao's wife.
Gongsun Zan was furious and ordered Fan Fang to retreat with the army.
However, before Fan Fang could return to Youzhou, Gongsun Zan had already been defeated by Yuan Shao.
Liu Dai admired Cheng Li greatly and requested for Cheng Li to be a Cavalry Commandant, but Cheng Li still rejected him on the grounds that he was unwell.
