The envoys between the Kwantung princes and Dong Zhuo came and went, and the two sides bargained in order to determine the official positions of each party.

Each Inhuman Lord wanted to obtain the official position of the state priest and become a prince with great power, but Dong Zhuo was not very happy.

There are only thirteen states in the whole world, which is not enough for twenty-five princes to divide up, and Tao Qian, Liu Yu, Liu Yan, Liu Biao and other state pastors were not present.

Is it possible that there should be twenty-nine state pastors in thirteen states?

During this period, a major event happened, Yuan Shu, who had previously been appointed by Dong Zhuo as the pastor of Yuzhou, sent assassins to assassinate Kong Ling, the assassin of Yuzhou, and annexed Kong Ling's soldiers and horses!

The rest of the princes were amazed!

Of the twenty-seven princes, two of the princes died under the Tiger Prison Pass, and one of the princes of Mingguan urgently returned to Liaodong, and now another prince was assassinated by his allies, leaving only the twenty-three princes.

The news of Yuan Shu's assassination of his allies spread, and the princes put pressure on him.

In the face of pressure from his allies, Yuan Shu simply led his troops and horses to leave Hangu Pass and go to occupy Xuchang, which was the assassin of Yuzhou, wanting to digest Yuzhou.

In addition to Han Fu from Jizhou, some of the food of the Kwantung Coalition Army came from Yuan Shu from Nanyang. As a result, now Yuan Shu no longer provides food, and the situation of the Kwantung coalition army is precarious.

Now there are twenty-two princes left.

As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao did the same, ordering Yan Liang and Wen Chou to attack Han Fu at night in Jizhou, beheading Han Fu, claiming that Han Fu was killed by deserters, and then annexing Han Fu's subordinates.

Yuan Shao also announced his retirement from the army and led the Jizhou pastor.

Only twenty-one princes remained.

Without the grain of Jizhou and Yuzhou, the princes of the Nineteenth Route found themselves pitted by a pair of stupid brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu!

Fang Xuanling reported the bad situation to Chu Tian: "If this continues, there will soon be a shortage of food in the army." ”

"It's just that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu didn't make any contributions, but they didn't expect to kill their allies, and once they succeeded, they left immediately. The food provided by Han Fu and Kong Ling was cut off by them, which was really short-sighted. They are so ruthless that any prince with whom they have a grudge will defeat them in the future, and they will never be left alive. ”

Chu Tian learned that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu not only annexed other princes, but also quickly evacuated Luoyang and grabbed territory for fear of retaliation from other princes.

In other words, the current alliance of the Kwantung princes has fallen apart.

Without the princes to provide food nearby, they could not attack Chang'an.

Now all the princes hate Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to the core.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu attacked their allies at a critical moment, and they did not say goodbye, cut off the grain route, and did everything to the end, and the other princes would not let them go in the future.

Dong Zhuo had already promised the princes to canonize the state pastors, generals, and county marquis, but when he learned that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had left, and the rest of the princes had little food, he hardened his attitude again, and was only willing to seal the princes and counties.

"I didn't expect to be pitted by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu."

Chu Tian felt helpless against the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and their attitude of greedily seizing territory would not be a big thing after all.

In the end, the Kwantung princes, represented by Chu Tian, compromised with Dong Zhuo.

Chutian was named the Marquis of Kaiyang County, and the other inhuman princes, the powerful Fengxian Marquis, the weak Fengxiang Marquis, and the Pavilion Marquis.

[Official position]: Marquis of Kaiyang County

[Effect]: The morale of the people in Kaiyang County is not easy to decline; There was a slight increase in the Maison's approval rating; The prestige increased, and the attraction to the historical heroes of the late Han Dynasty increased slightly.

As a knighthood, the county marquis can bring a lot of effect.

At present, Chutian's titles include Tian Khan, Great Sage and Good Teacher, Langya Xiang, General Fubo, and Kaiyang County Hou.

Because Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu lost the opportunity to be promoted to Xuzhou Mu and General Anton, Chu Tian silently wrote down the grievances with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Lujiang Taishou was also angry with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, his official positions on the table were Yangzhou Mu and General Annan, Dong Zhuo was about to agree, but they were all ruined by the Yuan brothers.

There is also Huma, who is on the table and the state pastor and the general of Anxi, and his official position on the table is gone, and he is only a township.

"Don't let me catch Yuan Shu in the future, or I'll execute him."

Lujiang was too shou Tongque and was indignant.

The remaining nineteen princes began to withdraw their troops.

If the army is not withdrawn, the food will be gone, as long as Dong Zhuo sends tens of thousands of cavalry to pursue, the remaining princes of the Nineteenth Route will be defeated.

"You can only conquer Xuzhou by force, and then ask Dong Zhuo for the state pastor and General Anton."

Chu Tian is still coveting the position of Xuzhou Mu.

It was unrealistic to obtain the official position of Xuzhou Mu, so Chutian forcibly controlled Xuzhou, and then asked to be named Xuzhou Mu. By then, the wood has already been completed, and Dong Zhuo can't admit it if he doesn't want to.

Due to the internal strife among the princes and the lack of food, they retreated one after another.

Before pulling out the camp, Chu Tian counted the gains he had gained from participating in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and obtained a total of 70,000 military merits, capturing about 1,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, more than 4,000 Liangzhou soldiers, and 7,000 war horses.

The number of war horses in Xiliang is amazing, and the war horses captured by Chutian are only a part.

In addition, he captured two military generals, Xu Rong and Hua Xiong, and also obtained Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, two famous men of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as well as twenty or thirty civil officials. This was an unexpected bonus.

Chu Tian's losses were also very large, bringing 20,000 people, losing 5,000, leaving 15,000.

"I can finally go back."

Chu Tian was almost stolen, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he almost became a homeless prince.

When Cao Cao was on an expedition to Tao Qian, Yanzhou was attacked by Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, and Cao Cao was almost homeless.

Chu Tian experienced the incident that happened to Cao Cao again and again.

Fortunately, in the summer, Liang and Li Xiuning, Xu Sheng and others held Langya Kingdom, otherwise Chutian would have to start all over again.

After returning to Xia Cheng, Chu Tian will reward them well, such a merit will not be exaggerated even if he is a general and a Taishou in the future.

Chu Tian and his entourage passed through the scorched Luoyang City, cleaned up Luoyang City a little, and worshiped the first emperor.

At the same time, Chu Tian and a group of Inhuman princes sent people to find the whereabouts of the heirloom jade seal. They all knew that the jade seal of the country might be left in Luoyang. Because it is recorded in history that Sun Jian once found the heirloom jade seal in the well in Luoyang.

As a treasure in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the jade seal of the country brought unprecedented bonuses to the territory.

But all the princes were disappointed, and they could not find the heirloom jade seal at all.

Although the battle of Tiger Prison Pass and the burning of Luoyang occurred in this crusade against Dong Zhuo, many changes still occurred, Diao Chan was missing, Xu Rong and Hua Xiong were captured, and Lu Zhi and Cai Yong were obtained by Chutian......

It's good now, the jade seal of the country is gone.

Chu Tian also had the mentality of trying, he really didn't find the heirloom jade seal, and he was not in a hurry.

The princes are still too guarded and want to be the emperor?

Yuan Shu is a negative example of premature emperorization.

The princes from all walks of life returned to Suozao County in Chenliu County and successfully suppressed the momentum of Dong Zhuo's power development.

Dong Zhuo's army, which originally had a tendency to sweep the Eastern Han Dynasty, was suppressed by the coalition forces, just like the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

The gun shoots the first bird.

"Obviously, the plan to ask Dong Zhuo for Xuzhou Mu is about to succeed, but you were cheated by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Brother Chu, Brother Yan, we'll see you in the future. Until next time, maybe I've built a powerful empire in the Western Regions, just like the Western Liao and Mongol empires. ”

Huo An, the lord of the Western Regions Protectorate, said goodbye to Chu Tian and Prince Yan.

"Don't be defeated by the Kushan Empire and the Seljuk Empire, lose the face of our Eastern Han Dynasty, and ask us for help."

"No, I'll drink the Mali Sea!"

Huo An left with the remaining more than a thousand cavalry from the Western Regions, and muttered before leaving: "Why are my Western Regions soldiers always scared and don't understand when they see you, Brother Chu, and don't understand ......?"

Huo An returned to the Western Regions Protectorate.

"Myeongguan should be fighting Choi Jae-seon's army that invaded Liaodong by the Goryeo Kingdom at this time, and the battle must be fierce. Choi Jae-sun is the first lord of Goryeo, and he is resolute, as long as he does not obey his lord, he will be executed. He took the initiative to attack Liaodong and was fully prepared. My territory is in Liaoxi, and if Myeongguan can't stop Goryeo, then my Liaoxi cavalry will take back Liaodong at all costs. ”

The lord of Liaoxi, Prince Yan, has a famous general, Di Qing, who is ready in case Liaodong is captured by the Goryeo Bangzi.

"You believe in Mingguan. I already know his three generals, Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang, and Zu Dashou, none of them are not famous generals. Chang Yuchun has a nickname, 'Chang 100,000', as long as he gives him 100,000 soldiers and horses, he can run rampant in the world, instead of some mediocre talents in martial arts, which is completely a misunderstanding of Chang Yuchun. Mingguan may become your enemy later. ”

Chu Tian reminded Prince Yan that he learned that the third military commander of Mingguan was Chang Yuchun, a famous general second only to Xu Da in the early Ming Dynasty, who had almost no defeat in his life, fought from the south to the north, and captured the capital of Yuan, which can be described as a legendary general!

Knowing that Mingguan has Chang Yuchun as a general, Prince Yan is helpless about this, Di Qing's record is much worse than Chang Yuchun, once he starts a war with Mingguan to compete for Liaodong and Liaoxi, Chang Yuchun will be his biggest enemy: "Not only Mingguan, but also Gongsun Zhan, Wuhuan tribe, Xianbei tribe, and the feared prairie in Liaoxi." ”

"The dreaded savannah?"

It was the first time Chu Tian had heard of this statement.

Prince Yan's expression was solemn: "You should know that the grassland controlled by our Eastern Han District is not a complete grassland, so there must be other nomadic tribes." ”

Prince Yan took his Liaoxi cavalry and used the teleportation array to return to Liaoxi.

"Teacher, Xuande farewell."

Before Liu Bei left with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he also came to say goodbye to Lu Zhi, who was with Chu Tian.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are currently serving as other subordinates under Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's inhuman military advisor Chen Xi took his general, Ashina Sheer, and before returning to Zhongshan with Liu Bei, he whispered to Chu Tian: "The era of division will soon come, and I hope that one day we will not become enemies." ”

"I hope so."

Chutian did not regard Liu Bei, who was located in the north of Jizhou, as an opponent for the time being.

Liu Bei's choice was to develop the Zhongshan Kingdom in the north of Jizhou, and his opponent was extremely powerful. Liaodong Mingguan, Liaoxi Yan Prince and Gongsun Zhan, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao, Wei County Taishou Zhao Long, Taiyuan Taishou Huma.

The fierce battles of the princes in Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou and other Hebei regions will be quite tragic, even more tragic than the fierce battles of the princes in Henan.

Liu Bei faced the princes who had military generals such as Chang Yuchun, Lian Po, Shi Wansui, Di Qing, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, and he might not be able to survive and annex the three states.

So the opponent in the future may not be Liu Bei.

In contrast, Chutian could capture Xuzhou relatively quickly.

As long as it is faster than other princes, then it will occupy the development advantage in the early stage, and it will continue to snowball in the future.

"Tao Qian of Xuzhou has no military generals who can handle it, and there is a Song Jiang in the East China Sea, but Song Jiang is just the leader of a peasant rebel army, and compared with my generals, he has nothing to worry about."

Chu Tian led the main force back to Langya Country this time, and after resting and digesting the reward, the first thing Chu Tian did not let go was Tao Qian.

After the beginning of spring, Tao Qian will be destroyed.

Chu Tian made up his mind in his heart.

"We may become enemies in the future."

Cao Cao took the Xiahou brothers, as well as the military general Dian Wei, who was subdued on the way to defeat Dong Zhuo, and took the initiative to come to say goodbye to Chutian.

One of them is in Yanzhou and the other is in Xuzhou, located in the land of four wars, there is no danger to defend, once the big war, mainly attack.

To be honest, Chu Tian thought that Cao Cao was even more difficult to deal with than Liu Bei and Sun Jian.

Liu Bei's Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the five tiger generals, but they all have fatal shortcomings, as long as they make good use of their shortcomings, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not to be afraid.

Cao Cao has a large number of second- and third-rate generals under his command, Cao Cao can give them bonuses, plus it is difficult to calculate Cao Cao, so Cao Cao's army is difficult to fight.

"Zimou, we shouldn't have any conflicts."

Sun Jian's Changsha County was too far away from Chutian's Xuzhou, so he didn't worry much about a conflict of interest with Chutian.

Chu Tian nodded on the surface, but in his heart he didn't necessarily say. Since ancient times, after the unification of the Central Plains, we have to drink the Yangtze River.

The princes from all walks of life said goodbye to Chu Tian, and Chu Tian was able to get to know more princes. Some people may become strong enemies in the future, such as Cao Cao, and others may become allies.

Chu Tian and the others returned to Xia City with the spoils of war.

"I don't know what kind of scene Xia Cheng and Zimou said about Du Fu's thatched cottage."

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong and other Confucians still have some expectations.

A team of soldiers and horses entered the teleportation array, and they could return to Langya City without paying a price.

In the end, Chu Tian took Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun into the teleportation array.

The scene in front of me changed......

The Liaodong cavalry in the sky charged the Goryeo cavalry, and the general Chang Yuchun took the lead, leading the heavy cavalry to attack the enemy formation, breaking the three phalanxes of the Goryeo Kingdom in a row, and bravely crowning the three armies!

Mingguan took a military division to watch the battle from a high place: "This time, thanks to the military division guarding the house and setting up an ambush in the Qianshan Mountain Range to delay time, I didn't let the Goryeo cavalry besiege the city, otherwise I would almost not be able to come back." ”

The military advisor said: "The lord is wise, leave 10,000 cavalry in advance, so that the minister can calmly delay the enemy." ”

"The lords of the Goryeo Kingdom took the initiative to attack Liaodong, and when I completely unify and stabilize Liaodong, they will know the terrible cavalry of the suzerain. My Guanning Iron Cavalry will soon be able to train a squad......"
