"Chu Zimou hasn't come back yet? Where the hell did he go? ”

In Dingxiang County, Wei Qing's Han army on the West Road turned back and rested for ten days, but there was no news of Chutian and Cao Cao.

"You can leave."

Wei Qing informed the various princes to leave the Mobei battlefield.

When they returned to Sene, they were no longer able to earn points, and it was of little significance to continue to stay on the Mobei battlefield.

"I hope Chu Zimou won't be wiped out in Mobei, without you, who should the war horses in Longxi be sold to?"

The princes of the Han army on the Western Road led their respective troops back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Chutian, as the largest buyer of the Longxi horse market, bought tens of thousands of fine war horses from Longxi every year, or even tens of thousands. Xu Fengnian didn't want to lack Chutian, a big customer.

Wei Qing watched the princes leave, and then looked at Mobei.

Huo Quai's Eastern Route Army pursued to Hanhai, traveling farther and returning to the division later.

When the first batch of princes returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty, it caused quite a stir in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Lord, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was killed, and the officials of Youzhou welcomed Liu Bei into Youzhou, with Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan as wings, and once again crusaded against Liaodong Taishou Ming Pass!"

"Xuzhou Mu launched a fierce attack on Yanzhou, Jibei and Dongjun, and the momentum was like a bamboo!"

When Yuan Shao returned to Jizhou, the pattern of the Eastern Han Dynasty underwent great changes, and Youzhou and Yanzhou fell into war.

Yuan Shao was taken aback: "Xuzhou Mu Chuzi clearly did not come back, why did Xuzhou suddenly attack Yanzhou?" ”

Whether Xu Yu or frustrated, the reaction at this time was exactly the same as Yuan Shao, they clearly knew that Chutian should still be tossing in Mobei, Xuzhou was in a state of leaderless dragons at the moment, and it was unbelievable to suddenly declare war on Cao Cao's forces.

The judge said: "The subordinates think that someone is using Xuzhou's military power instead of Xuzhou Mu!" ”

"If that's the case, it's not good, Cao Mengde is still in Mobei, and the people he left behind don't know if they can stop the Xuzhou army."

"The lord needs to decide whether to go north to seize Jizhou, or go south to support Cao Cao."

Yuan Shao faced a dilemma and looked at the strategists: "What do you think?" ”

Guo Tu replied: "If Liu Da'er enters Youzhou, Jizhou is unprepared, and if the lord takes advantage of the weakness, he can take down the nine counties of Jizhou in one fell swoop." It will take time for Chu Zimou to unify the Central Plains, and the lord will take Youzhou again, and he can confront Chu Zimou! ”

Tian Feng, the military advisor who stayed behind, has been judging the situation: "Otherwise. Liu Beidong blocked the Ming Pass, for my barrier, we can't be grateful to it, why do we still attack its territory? At this time, Cao Mengde was in danger, if the lord went south to support Cao Mengde, he was grateful to the lord, and the lord could get his soldiers, horses, food, grass, and military generals. Otherwise, Chu Zi will seek to unify the Central Plains, and in order to seize the horse land, he will definitely go north, and there is no need to worry too much. ”

Guo Tu argued: "The lord is the pastor of Jizhou, and there are nine counties in Jizhou, but there are only five counties, and four counties are occupied by Liu Daer. Those four counties are the land that the lord deserves. If Liu Daer really wants to divide Hebei with the lord, since he has obtained the land of Youzhou, he should give up the land of Jizhou, so that the lord can believe in his sincerity. If not, the lord only has five counties, even if he saves Cao Mengde and gets the three counties of Yanzhou, he will eventually be taken advantage of by others. The three counties of Yanzhou are the land of four wars, could it be that the lord wants to be distracted from Hebei and the Central Plains at the same time, and he is tired of running for his life? Hebei is a place to achieve the emperor's industry, please think twice. ”

Whether it is Tian Feng or Guo Tu, what he said is reasonable, so that Yuan Shao is indecisive and it is difficult to judge whether to go north or south.

"Send someone to tell Liu Da'er that since I, Yuan Benchu, am the pastor of Jizhou and he is the pastor of Youzhou, then he should hand over the four counties of Jizhou, otherwise I will go north and attack Youzhou with Mingguan, and take what they need!" If Liu Daer hands over the four counties of Jizhou, I will personally wave my army south to support Yanzhou! ”

Yuan Shao can also be regarded as half a hero, while sending envoys to threaten Liu Bei, while ordering a large army to fight, go north or south at any time, Yuan Shao can piece together an army of 200,000 with five counties.

Officials at all levels in Xuzhou also knew that the princes who participated in the Battle of Mobei had returned, and immediately inquired whether the lord had returned.

Theoretically speaking, any prince who participated in the Battle of Mobei could be killed, and Chutian could also be killed.

"Is there any news from the lord?"

It's cool in summer, and people ask for the first time.

When she heard that Chu Tian was not among the princes who returned, and heard that Chu Tian chose to stay in Mobei to continue to fight against the Xiongnu, her heart sank.

"Xianggong will definitely come back......"

Despite some bad premonitions, she still believed that Chu Tian would not be killed in Mobei.

On the Mobei battlefield, Huo Quai's Northern Route Army returned to Daijun. The princes from all walks of life said goodbye to Huo Quai's illness and returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Greetings to the lord, his subordinates have lived up to expectations and have defended Liaoxi. When the lord comes back, even if Liu Bei comes to attack, he is not afraid. ”

Yao Guangxiao was relieved when he saw Mingguan come back. Liu Bei temporarily compromised with Prince Yan and Gongsun Zhan, and promised Prince Yan and Gongsun Zhan that Youzhou's Right Beiping and Liaoxi were still owned by Prince Yan and Gongsun Zhan, so he reorganized the coalition army and attacked Liaoxi again.

Since Liaodong Taishou Mingguan has returned, it is almost a sure victory.

As soon as Mingguan came back, he said to Yao Guangxiao: "Chu Zimou must have begun to recruit troops on a large scale and prepare to attack the Central Plains. You immediately dispatch a few generals who attacked the Xianbei tribe back, recruit the cavalry of the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, and go all out to capture Youzhou! Chu Zimou is about to own the Central Plains, how can we lag behind! Before Chu Zimou owned the two states of the Central Plains and the two states of Qilu, he had to occupy the four states of Hebei in order to compete with them! ”

Mingguan realized that the crisis was coming, and he had to speed up the speed of entering the customs, otherwise he would be blocked and wandering outside the customs forever, and he would never be able to advance or retreat. He didn't want to be blocked by the Great Wall built in Youzhou, and he would be outside the gate all his life.

Yao Guangxiao was puzzled: "My lord, my subordinates didn't hear that Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou returned to Xuzhou, but someone attacked Yanzhou instead of Chu Zimou." ”

"He hasn't come back yet?!"

Mingguan couldn't believe it.

The princes of the two roads returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty in two batches, but Chu Zimou was nowhere to be found, which has to be said to be a strange thing.

Ming Guan recalled the dead Han army he saw at the foot of Wolf Juxu Mountain, and seemed to have an answer in his heart: "Maybe Chu Zimou is still fighting against the Xiongnu in Mobei." It's just that the main force of the Huns has been destroyed, and there are not many points to get from chasing the Huns. The cost performance is so low, why does he want to stay in Mobei? ”

"The subordinates will recall the generals who attacked the Xianbei tribe in the north, as well as the generals of the Yanqi Guild, to attack Youzhou."

Yao Guangxiao wrote down.

Having a qualified strategist is essential for a faction.

Mingguan stood on the wall of the lonely bamboo city, and the fierce general Chang Yuchun was like a dragon and tiger, looking down on Liu Bei's second coalition army.

Although Liu Bei now has four counties in Jizhou, five counties in Youzhou, Zhuo County, Guangyang, Dai County, Shanggu, and Yuyang, a total of nine counties, but in the eyes of Chang Yuchun, it is not Erer.

Mingguan asked: "Boren, how many soldiers and horses do you need to take Youzhou?" ”

Chang Yuchun courage is flourishing: "100,000 is enough!" ”

"Hahahaha, this time to attack Youzhou, I will give you 100,000 troops! At the same time, 50,000 Wuhuan cavalry and 50,000 Xianbei cavalry were levied to capture Youbeiping County and attack Youzhou. Vested Youzhou, it is easy to take Hebei! ”

"Don't continue to attack Liaoxi, Mingguan has returned, Chang Yuchun has an army of 100,000 to take the world, and Yide is not his opponent!"

Liu Bei's military advisor Chen Xi returned to Zhongshan, and when he heard that Liu Bei was unwilling to fail in the first crusade against Liaoxi, and the second crusade against Liaoxi, he immediately sent someone to inform Liu Bei and ask Liu Bei to return to the division.

Liu Bei has lacked a military advisor until now, and Chen Xi, a stranger, is a first-class strategist, if it weren't for him lobbying Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and secretly befriending the officials of Youzhou, so that Liu Bei's reputation is flourishing in Youzhou, and the officials of Youzhou would not welcome Liu Bei into Youzhou.

Even, the reason why Liu Bei owns the four counties of Jizhou is because Chen Xi is secretly plotting.

At this time, Chen Xi miscalculated. He was worried that Guan Yu would be killed in the Battle of Mobei because of arrogance, so he went together. If he followed Liu Bei to attack Liaoxi, he might not have failed.

Now that Mingguan has returned from Mobei with Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang, and Zu Dashou, the best opportunity to seize western Liaoning has disappeared.

"If you stick to Youzhou and take the Great Wall as the boundary, then fund Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan to guard the border pass. It is difficult to enter the Ming Pass, and you can still try to Jizhou at that time. ”

Faced with a passive situation, Chen Xi could only choose to protect Youzhou and seize Jizhou.

"Military advisor, Yuan Benchu, as the pastor of Jizhou, sent people to ask for the four counties of Jizhou!"

Chen Xi was in a hurry, and was sending an envoy to persuade Liu Bei to return to the division and stick to the border fortress, when he suddenly heard that Yuan Shao, in the capacity of Jizhou Mu, asked Liu Bei, the pastor of Youzhou, for the four counties of Jizhou, and couldn't help but be furious!

The four counties of Jizhou owned by Liu Bei were obtained under his Chen Xi's planning, and they were not borrowed from Jingzhou in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Yuan Shaokong has the name of Jizhou Mu, but the scope of his actual control is less than the nine counties of Jizhou.

"Since Yuan Shao is aggressive, you can contact Huma and destroy Yuan Shao together!"

Chen Xi was angered by Yuan Shao.

How could the territory laid down by strength be taken away by Yuan Shao with the empty title of Jizhou Mu.

"Mingguan comes back, and there is no hope of retaking Liaoxi. It's better for me to wait for the troops, as the pastor of Youzhou, I will give up the right Beiping County to your garrison, and let people be stationed in Yuyang County to provide you with grain, grass and soldiers and horses. ”

Liu Bei received a proposal from the Inhuman military advisor Chen Xi, he had great trust in this Inhuman military advisor, and without the Inhuman military advisor, he might still be under the fence.

So he chose to withdraw the army, and according to the advice of the military advisor, handed over Youbeiping and even Yuyang to Prince Yan and Gongsun Zhan, and resisted Mingguan with the help of the strength of the two princes.

This kind of cooperation is not uncommon, and it can increase Liu Bei's power and generals. Prince Yan and Gongsun Zhan have been at war with Mingguan for a long time, and they are familiar with Mingguan's combat methods, and with them guarding the border, they can delay the progress of Mingguan to seize Youzhou.

This is also a compromise between Liu Bei's forces and Prince Yan and Gongsun Zhan. Liu Bei wants to sit firmly in the position of Youzhou Mu, and he needs to pay a little price.

Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan were also satisfied with Liu Bei's arrangement.

Liu Bei originally had four counties in Jizhou, which was originally superior to them, and Chen Xi, an inhuman military advisor, befriended the Youzhou family for him, so it was difficult for Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan to compete with him for the position of Youzhou pastor. Liu Bei was willing to give up a piece of land to their garrison, and this result was enough to satisfy them.

"Chu Zimou hasn't come back yet, it seems that he is still in Mobei."

In Guanzhong, the second-ranked old Qin in the battle of Mobei came back and became the master of Chang'an, and learned that Chu Zimou, who ranked first, did not return to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and immediately reacted, Chu Zimou was still trapped in Mobei.

"If he gets lost in Mobei, he will never come back, or he will die in battle, and when he enters Kanto in the future, he will have one less powerful opponent."

Most of the princes were naturally overjoyed at the loss of this formidable opponent.

Theoretically, the battlefield of the Battle of Mobei could be closed forever.

If Chu Zimou and Cao Mengde were trapped in the Mobei battlefield, it would have a huge impact on the pattern of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Chu Zimou won't really die in the Battle of Mobei, right?"

In Dongjun, the princes and the general Pang Juan were ordered by Xia Liang to attack a county and urgently take Dongjun. At this time, he learned that the life and death of the Xuzhou Mu were unknown, and he couldn't help but be shaken.

Gongziwen thought for a while, and shook his head again: "Even if Chu Zimou dies in Mobei, that woman still has Chu Zimou's child, she will not let Xuzhou collapse easily, there are Le Yi, Zhou Yafu, Li Xiuning, Xu Rong, Xu Sheng and others, she wants to guard the five counties of Xuzhou, it is as easy as a hand." ”

Gongziwen still can't get up with the idea of betrayal.

"Still no news from the lord?"

Xia Liang learned that Chu Tian had never returned. Now the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty have returned to their respective territories. It is possible that Chutian will be left in Mobei forever!

In the summer, Liang was too worried, and he fainted, and the maids of the lord's mansion were in a hurry, if something happened to the heir of Xuzhou, then Xuzhou would be in chaos.

Senior Physician Li Lan was hired by the Lord's Mansion, and when she woke up in the summer, she advised: "Please Miss Xia must be careful with the fetus, otherwise it will be easy to miscarry." ”

"But ......"

The cool tears of summer do not flow down spontaneously, wet the placket, and the pear blossoms carry tears.

She single-handedly planned the attack on Yanzhou, and called Le Yi, who was good at attacking, to command the original Zhou Yafu's legions, which had captured most of the Jibei Kingdom, and at the same time ordered Gongziwen's military corps and Xu Rong's Xiliang Legion to attack Dongjun, seize the small half of Dongjun, and compress Cao Cao's forces from three counties to two.

went to such great lengths, just wanting to surprise Chu Tian when he came back. But thinking that Chutian might not be able to come back, everything was meaningless.

The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself. Without an audience, no matter how brilliant the performance is, it is just a lonely self-appreciation.

"Even if something happens to the lord, you still have his children, please take care, not only for you, but also for the children. Moreover, the lord may not be able to come back, maybe it will be a while. ”

Li Lan's words restored the hope of survival in the summer.

Even if he wants to die, he must fulfill Chutian's long-cherished wish to unify the Eastern Han Dynasty and raise his children.

"Order Le Yi, Gongziwen, Li Xiuning, Li Guang, and Xu Rong to destroy Cao Cao's forces at any cost! Order Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou counties to expand their troops, and expand their troops by two to three percent! ”

Xia Liang's decision allowed an army of 200,000 to invade Yanzhou and wreak havoc on Cao Cao's territory.

When a woman vents her anger, she is terrible.
