Volume 1, Dongyi Tribe 142.Jiang Cheng after being renamed
You can't do anything, it's better to give up decisively, even if you pay more in the early stage, it may not be as good as the impact of misjudgment, give up now, the biggest loss is nothing more than now, but if you continue to go your own way, the loss may be more than that, and it may directly shake the foundation...
In the eyes of the other two countries, Chiyou's character has always been not very scheming, and he is so happy, he likes others to praise his exploits, enterprising, and domineering, such a person with a distinct personality, as long as he can avoid his edge in the early stage, and stay in the middle of a long time, he must be the first to be unbearable, so they were indeed caught off guard at the beginning of Chiyou, but as the war progressed, they have gradually grasped the initiative, after all, the Central Plains is their home field, as long as they are well prepared, Chi You, who is one against the other, cannot have much upper hand, and there are even some places that they have given up strategically on their own initiative.
Luring the enemy deep is also part of the war, and with the accumulation of time, the two countries of the Central Plains gradually occupy the advantages of people and people, so that the time and place are favorable, and all of them are occupied, so they are not afraid of the brave and fierce Chi You Jun, due to the deliberate guidance of public opinion, the reputation of the entire Chi You Jun is getting worse and worse, like a flood of beasts, so that the people of the Central Plains are particularly disgusted, so it caused the current war of Chi You Jun to enter such a stalemate.
For the two countries of the Central Plains, their favorite is such a state, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is for the Chiyou army, after all, they are fighting behind enemy lines, and the supply line of grain and grass is a big problem, maybe it can also drag down the reserves of the Jiuli tribe, it is the biggest good news for them, the enemy is weak, and their own side can be strong, so the whole war has been going on for such a long time, but the real large-scale war has not happened, this is the strategy of the other two countries in the Central Plains, let the Chiyou army wear off its sharpness, It's just that it doesn't fight you, and the fist that makes you exert your strength is like hitting cotton.
Of course, Chi You also knows the other party's strategy, but he can't crack it, at least he doesn't have such a capable person under his command, so he has been stationing his troops and stationed here, after all, if he goes deeper, either the enemy will still have the same strategy, or the enemy will look for an opportunity to launch a counterattack, he has already felt the danger, and the reason why he decided to retreat now is also because he really can't let go of the results he has now, and he is very unwilling.
However, from the time he ordered the cessation of the army to the stationing, it was a bit unexpected by the other two countries, but he didn't expect that the reckless general Chiyou was not useless, he had already taken into account the crisis of the matter, and they didn't think of taking this opportunity to defeat the Chiyou army, but the other party's current troops are too powerful, there are tens of thousands of elites, and if you want to annihilate them in one fell swoop, you need at least several times more troops, to be honest, now the two countries together can't take out so many elite troops, so they can only let the Chiyou army be stationed, And their temporary base camp is in Jiangcheng, the original place of the Jiang tribe, on the bank of the Jiangshui River.
The geographical location here is also relatively superior, although it is not as tall and powerful as the bear city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also a rare Central Plains city, if it is not for Chiyou to suddenly attack, while the Jiang tribe did not react, when the double city gate is not closed, the Chiyou army may not be able to take this city, even if it is a fluke, it must pay a painful price, and now this city has become Chiyou's territory, although it is to retreat, but he is really reluctant to this big city.
Although Jiang Cheng is not in the core of the Central Plains, close to the Eastern Regions, but how to say that it is also in the Central Plains, it is an important passage connecting the Central Plains and the Eastern Regions, it is different from the bear city, although the bear city can also go straight to the Eastern Regions, but there is a fortress on each side of the middle, these two fortresses are like stuck throats, so that the bear tribe and the tribes of the Eastern Regions can not be directly connected, although there may be some private trade in peacetime, but it is also a small fight, not a climate, once the war occurs, it will be tightened immediately, just like now, The two fortresses had been closed for almost a year, so it became the easiest way to get in and out of the Central Plains.
The large army can be withdrawn, here will become a favorable position for the development of the Jiuli tribe in the Central Plains, whether it is to attack the Central Plains in the future, or to prevent the counterattack of the Central Plains, the best starting point for the soldiers here, so Jiang Cheng will cease to exist in the future, the name has been taken, in order to commemorate the merits of Chiyou, this city has been renamed Chiyou City from now on.
Before retreating, Chiyou must deal with these things, and Chiyou City has also undergone a series of renovations, because it may face the continuous impact of the enemy, especially the Jiang tribe, the main city has been lost, they are not willing to suffer this dumb loss, as long as the big tribe retreats, they will immediately find a way to recover the lost territory, and Chiyou City will also become a new war battleground.
And the candidate for the city lord must also be a person that Chiyou trusts very much, regardless of ability or all aspects to be outstanding, Chiyou himself will definitely not be able to stay here, and for the leader of the Thirteen Alliances, he will not trust so much, after all, he will move these people next, then only his brother is left, he thought about it, or chose his fourth brother, Li Wu, with Li Wu, Chiyou City can be insured, and at the same time, for the sake of insurance, Shang Yang will also stay here to help Li Wu jointly govern Chiyou City.
Before the start of the war, there were many people, and the trade was relatively prosperous, but with the opening of the war, it gradually withered here, and the people who did not escape also became the slaves of Chiyou Jun, for them, Chiyou did not think about returning their freedom, after all, it is not a tribe, people's hearts cannot be guessed, in order to prevent riots, they will not be given freedom, these slaves are wealth, he really wants to transport these tens of thousands of slaves back to the Eastern Regions, But it's impossible to think about it, how could the other two countries let them take the people away so easily, they would definitely be blocked, and he had to take the other party off guard when he retreated this time, so he had to take advantage of his unpreparedness and evacuate quickly, so these slaves couldn't be brought.
But Chiyou City is not a pure military fortress, if there are fewer people, it is really a pity, it is also very unfavorable to the future development, under the advice of Shang Yang, Chiyou decided to move a part of the people from the Eastern Regions, although many people are unwilling to leave their hometowns, but as long as they come over, they will reward slaves, under such temptation, I believe that there will be many people willing to come, and then promote some talents, I believe that the entire Chiyou City will develop quickly, and become a strong nail planted in the Central Plains in the Eastern Regions.
Of course, it's too early to think about this, after all, Chiyou City will not be calm now, it has not accepted the challenge of the other two countries, it will not be recognized by the Central Plains, and it is impossible to develop steadily.
Along with Li Wu, there are also 5,000 elite Chiyou Jun, they are all people from the headquarters of the Jiuli tribe, which shows the importance that Chiyou attaches to here, these 5,000 troops are not to say that they have experienced a hundred battles, but they have also experienced great battles, and they are also in the prime of life, and they have become the defenders of the new Chiyou City.
This can be regarded as the only harvest that Chi You can leave on this expedition, and there are a lot of other territories, most of the territory of the entire Jiang tribe is occupied by Chi Youjun, including a small part of the edge of the bear tribe, but those places cannot be defended at all, as long as the army withdraws, it will immediately return to the arms of others, so Chi You can only give up all, although he is unwilling, especially the leader of the Thirteen Alliances, these places were originally assigned to their sphere of influence, and now they can only give up, how can they be willing?
But what if they are unwilling, they can't send their own tribes to defend it, not to say whether it is okay or not, even the counterattack of the two countries in the Central Plains, they can't resist it, seeing that the fat in their hands is flying like this, the war lasts for a year, they have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but they have not gained anything, how can there be less complaints, but they can't say it clearly, the most important thing is that the war is too beautiful, and the gap in fact is too big, in short, the relationship between Chiyou and the leader of the thirteen alliances is a rift, This is also what he has thought of a long time ago, so he will find a way to replace them.
However, it can't be said that they have gained nothing, and the wealth and efforts they have gained are still a lot, although they are not as good as paying, and they are not as good as the original idea, but it is better than nothing, and everyone can only reluctantly accept this fact that has happened, pack up their things, and prepare to retreat together.
The war came quietly, and it was unexpected, as the initiator and the end, Chi You occupied the absolute initiative, and had to admire his transformation and decisive ability to deal with things, which was not seen at all before, so his retreat exceeded the judgment of the other two countries, so he would withdraw easily, and reduce the loss to a minimum, otherwise he would definitely not be allowed to retreat easily, the war would not end so easily, I don't know how much price to pay, in short, the three parties are unwilling, But for the common people in the whirlpool of war, it is the best outcome.
Looking at the gains and losses of the entire war, the three parties are actually not the beneficiaries, because the war is like this, that is, consumption, consumption of manpower, material and financial resources, heritage, overdraft of the future, the worst is the Jiang tribe, the main city was lost, the soldiers and people suffered heavy casualties, tens of thousands of people were reduced to efforts, most of the territory was lost, and they were forced to go away, which directly hit the foundation, and the second big loss was the initiator Jiuli tribe, which spent so much manpower and material resources, and time, and finally only left a Chiyou city, The least losses were the bear tribes, and the war was basically far from their homeland, but there were also many places that suffered and had a great impact, in short, none of the three parties was the winner.
