Chu Tian successively attacked five towns in Yangdu County, and handed over all five towns to the Wolf Guild, and the lord of the guild ceded three towns in the northern part of Kaiyang County to Chu Tian as compensation.

When the coalition army marched towards War Spirit Town, Taishan thief Chang Xuan intervened in the war between the two guilds, and ordered Chu Tian to go to War Spirit Town to negotiate.

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

Chutian was not fooled.

But he had to consider the consequences of the intervention of the Tarzan thief forces.

The Taishan thieves are a big force entrenched in Xu, Qing, and Yanzhou, and they have many branches, provoking Chang Xian, and may sabotage Chu Tian's plan to take Kaiyang County first.

And the most important thing is that with the current strength, it may not be able to beat tens of thousands of Tarzan thieves.

Even if Cao Cao faced the Taishan thief, he was mainly appeased.

"Chang Xuan took the initiative to ask us to reconcile with the War Spirit Guild, what do you think?"

Chu Tian informed the lords of the Wolf Guild of this news.

The lords of the Wolf Guild, including the leader Xueyue, did not look very good.

Changyun of Yangdu County stood up, they did not have the strength to confront tens of thousands of Taishan thieves. Behind Chang Xuan, there are also Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other Taishan thief leaders, who respond to every call.

Xue Yue pondered for a while: "It's really not possible, let's stop fighting with them for the time being." After we upgrade to the city and have the ability to confront Chang Xuan, we will then push down the Battle Spirit Guild in one fell swoop. We have taken five of their towns, and they are only twelve left, and their strength is greatly damaged. ”

The other lords also deduced: "We originally had twelve towns, and we got two towns, for a total of fourteen towns. Coupled with Brother Chu, your town, there are at least twenty towns, and you don't have to be afraid of the Battle Spirit Guild at all. ”

Fang Xuanling was still in Xia Town, and Chu Tian had no military advisor's opinion to refer to, so he could only make a decision after consulting with other players, or refer to the opinions of Zhou Yafu and Hua Mulan.

Because the Taishan thieves represented by Chang Xuan intervened in the battle between the two sides, this battle could not continue, and Chutian and they finally agreed to peace talks.

However, Chu Tian did not let go of the War Soul Guild so easily, and asked the War Spirit Guild to recognize the ownership of the five towns that had been conquered by the coalition forces, and also asked the War Spirit Guild to cede three additional towns and pay five thousand taels in compensation.

"Damn, they occupied our five towns and more than ten villages, and they even dared to ask us to cede land and pay compensation!"

Qi Xiaobai still owed Changfeng 5,000 taels of silver in order to ask for reinforcements from Chang Xuan, and now Chu Tian asked for 5,000 taels of silver, which made him thunder.

Chang Xuan was indifferent, Chu Tian's request for the Battle Soul Guild to cede territory had little to do with him.

Qi Xiaobai gave Wu Sangui a look.

Wu Sangui said: "General Changxuan, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. If you let the lords of Kaiyang County have more territory in Yangdu County, they will become a threat to you in the future. ”

Chang Feng was not calm this time: "They really asked for too much, give them another town, a thousand taels of silver, and make them retreat." Otherwise, I will personally lead my troops into their territory. ”

When Qi Xiaobai heard that he still had to pay the price of a town and a thousand taels of silver, his heart ached like a knife.

The War Spirit Guild was cut again and again, losing a total of six towns, and it would be more difficult to rise in the future.

"Chang Feng is greedy and repeated, find an opportunity to kill him in the future, the lord, you can sit on Yangdu County, why bother paying an extra town?"

Wu Sangui took the initiative to persuade Qi Xiaobai to cut the land and pay compensation.

"You mean to kill Chang Xuan?"

"Why not? He is just a rogue, and it is more than enough to divide one county and one county, but he can't succeed in the end. The lord can take his place and accomplish the princely business. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you everything."

Qi Xiaobai no longer underestimated Wu Sangui now, at least Wu Sangui's performance so far was better than the players he recruited, and he also helped him solve the threat brought by Chutian.

Chang Xuan once again demanded a truce from the lord of Kaiyang County as a mediator, in exchange for an additional town ceded by the War Spirit Guild and an indemnity of 1,000 taels of silver.

Chu Tian's request for three towns was originally intended for bargaining, so he agreed to the other party's request for an armistice.

This town was ceded by Chutian to Xueyue, and Xueyue transferred the two villages to Chutian and exchanged territories again.

As for a thousand taels of silver, it was divided among the people, and it was better than nothing.

Chu Tian counted the harvest of this Northern Expedition.

Zhou Yafu conquered four towns and sixteen villages along the way.

The land obtained from the Battle Spirit Guild, through exchanging with Xueyue, Chu Tian obtained three towns and fifteen villages in the northern part of Kaiyang County.

In the spring offensive, Chutian gained seven towns and thirty-one villages.

Chutian's power stretched from the southern part of Kaiyang County to the north.

"With the addition of Lingyan Town, Yunlai Town, Shangbi Town, and Liangshan Town, there are a total of eleven towns."

Chu Tian counted his territory carefully, and before he knew it, the scope of his territory had more than doubled.

If it weren't for Chang Feng to stop Chu Tian's troops, Chu Tian's territory would have added a few more towns.

"Eleven towns can muster a few thousand men and horses."

Chu Tian was still very satisfied with the results of this operation, which basically met his expectations.

At least the financial crisis of Xia Town can be solved by loot as well as an expanded territory.

"Unfortunately, this is the end of our campaign."

Chu Tian knew that his expansion to the north had reached its limit, and marching further north would make Chang Feng feel uneasy.

He could also cross the Yi River and expand to the east of the river, provided that Chutian had a sailor of acceptable size.

Xue Yue took the initiative to shake hands with Chu Tian and say goodbye: "I really appreciate you this time." If we have the opportunity to fight together again in the future. ”

"Which way are you going to expand?"

"I'd consider expanding eastward."

"Me too, but I'm downstream. If possible, hopefully you can help me after this year's harvest. ”

"No problem."

"Really? Don't regret it. ”

Chu Tian didn't elaborate on what it was, he was afraid that if he said it, Xue Yue would be taken as a madman.

Xueyue was in the northern part of Kaiyang County, and he expanded in the southern part of Kaiyang County, and the two forces were enough to form a joint encirclement of Langya City.

"Let's go back to the division."

Chu Tian made a simple agreement with Xue Yue and the lords, and then led his troops back to Xia Town.

The conflict between Kaiyang County and Yangdu County was only a small part of the battlefield of the thousands of counties and counties in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, the lords of various counties began a brutal annexation, the big lord devoured the tiger, and the small lord was defeated and died.

The various lords targeted counties, counties, and prefectures to accumulate strength to fight against the princes of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chu Tian designated the first conquered prince as Zang Ba of Kaiyang County, and some lords were also coveting the princes' territory.

The top 100 lords can already easily recruit thousands of soldiers, and relying on the power of the guild, they can even gather the strength of tens of thousands of people to influence the process of the Eastern Han District.

At the beginning of the war in the north of Kaiyang County, Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Western Liangqiang tribe, hijacked the Liangzhou overseers to engage in Bianzhang, and Liangzhou to engage in the Han Sui rebellion, with 100,000 cavalry, and entered Kou Sanfu, Luoyang was shaken!

The Han court dispatched Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo to Chang'an to prevent the Xiliang rebels from attacking Luoyang.

A large number of lords in Xiliang and Guanzhong began to betray the Han court, supported their own troops, and attacked each other.

Before the Dong Zhuo Rebellion began, the rule of the Han court had gradually collapsed.
