Chapter 185: Chutian and Dolgon (Gagan)
"Good brother, you're finally here!"
Mi Fang spent the rest of her life after the catastrophe, crying and crying, and it was difficult to suppress the excitement in her heart.
He led the remnants of Xuzhou to defeat the generals, surrounded by 200,000 Yellow Turban troops, and the pressure was so great that people could bear it.
Chu Tian grimaced: "Didn't I warn you to send more scout cavalry and investigate all the way?" ”
Mi Fang listened to Chu Tian's reprimand and was greatly ashamed: "I have little experience in leading troops, and the scouts sent by me were shot by the sharpshooters in the Yellow Turban Army, and I was ambushed after all. ”
Chu Tian saw Mi Fang admit his mistake and did not continue to blame, after all, his ability was not on the same level as Dolgon, who was the regent of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Chutian still has to rely on the Mi family's financial resources, so there is no need to hold on to Mi Fang's mistakes.
Mi Fang is not suitable for frontal combat, and it is still possible to exterminate the bandits in the rear.
The most important thing is that Mi Fang is not Chutian's general, and the loss is not Chutian's soldiers and horses, but Tao Qian's soldiers and horses.
Chu Tian comforted Mi Fang, who had been frightened recently, and made Mi Fang grateful to Dade, and Chu Tian saved his life.
"Where is Cao Bao?"
Chutian rescued Mi Fang and 2,000 Xuzhou soldiers, but he did not see Cao Bao, the commander of the Xuzhou army.
Mi Fang's heart palpitated: "That day, my troops with Cao Bao were cut off from the middle by the Yellow Turban Cavalry and lost contact, and he was mostly trapped by the Yellow Turban Army. ”
Chu Tian immediately checked the map with Fang Xuanling, they were not far from Anqiu County.
If Anqiu County can be recovered, then Zhuxian, Dongwu County and Anqiu County can build a triangular defense line, and at the same time connect with the four counties owned by Zhao Gongzi and Kong Rong, and use the seven counties as a stronghold to compress the activity area of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and force the Yellow Turban Army to fight a decisive battle.
"The various departments swept the Yellow Turban Army near Anqiu County and escorted the captured Yellow Turban Army to Langya State. After clearing the Yellow Turban Army in the wilderness, they will try to capture Anqiu County and unite with Beihai. ”
Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling discussed privately, they came to Qingzhou, and capturing the population was the first priority. The capture of the Yellow Turbans is actually weakening the power of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
If the 200,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army recruited by Dolgon in the hills near Anqiu County can move 200,000 people to Langya State, it can enrich Chutian's territory and increase the capital for Xuzhou.
"As for Cao Bao, if he encounters it on the way, he will rescue him. If he can't meet it, then he's better to ask for more blessings. ”
Chu Tian's attitude towards his ally Tao Qian was ambiguous.
Xueyue defended Dongwu County, and Zhuxian County ordered to defend Zhuxian and consolidate the rear, so Chutian could unscrupulously plunder the Yellow Turban Army and population in Anqiu County, and drive them all to Langya State.
Qingzhou has been destroyed a lot by the Yellow Turban Army, and it will take time to rebuild Qingzhou's towns, so it is better to move the population to the relatively stable and well-built Langya country.
Chutian is not short of land and people, otherwise he would not actively encourage childbearing and allow players to marry and register in his territory.
Wei was able to suppress Wu and Shu by virtue of a large population.
Shu has the Hanzhong Plain and the Sichuan Basin, but it has no population.
Wu also went to Yizhou and other places to capture the natives alive to enrich the population of Jiangdong.
If there is no one to farm, there is no food, there is no soldier.
Chu Tian simply set up camp in the hills near Anqiu County and sent several troops to capture the wild Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. At the same time, he explained that if he met a military general named Zhao Yun, he would definitely try to attract him.
Li Guang and Xue Rengui each led a team of cavalry to hunt near Anqiu County, Li Guang was responsible for luring the enemy in front and introducing the Yellow Turban Army into a valley, and then Xue Rengui blocked the mouth of the valley and forced the landing of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops at a time.
Zhou Yafu and Xu Sheng joined forces to set up an ambush to eliminate 2,000 yellow turbans and capture 5,000.
The surrendered Yellow Turban Army was escorted to Zhuxian, and then passed through Ju County, and placed in the plains around the Yihe River and Shuhe River for tuntian.
The Yellow Turban Army in Qiu County quickly realized that something was wrong, they were encircling and suppressing the defeated Xuzhou Army, and at this time a Langya Army came, and instead they were capturing the Yellow Turban Army in a big way.
That is, of the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army in Qiu County, 30,000 or 40,000 have been captured by Chutian and are missing.
This incident caused a huge panic among the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in Jiqiu County.
They found that Chutian's army was like a black hole, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which attacked Chutian, disappeared for no reason.
Dorgon is chasing down the defeated Cao Leopard.
There were more than 30,000 people under Cao Bao's command, and he was defeated all the way, and he turned to battle in the hills, leaving only more than 5,000 people around him.
Dolgon's ghost has been lingering for several days, and if it weren't for the complicated terrain around him, Cao Bao would probably have been killed by Dolgon's cavalry.
Even so, Cao Bao, as the chief general of the Xuzhou Front, was also embarrassed.
"The Yellow Turbans seem to have stopped pursuing!"
Just as Cao Bao was about to continue his escape, he found that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was leaving like a low tide.
Cao Bao is not completely incompetent.
The retreat of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was mostly due to the arrival of reinforcements, otherwise the Yellow Turban Army would not have let go of the opportunity to capture or kill the main general of the Xuzhou Front Army alive.
"Is it Zhao Gongzi and Kong Rong from Beihai Country or Chu Zimou from Langya Country, or Mi Fang?"
Cao Bao couldn't determine which reinforcement it was, so he could only take advantage of the rare opportunity to regroup, and the number of the defeated troops in Xuzhou around him increased to 8,000 one after another.
Compared with the high spirits when he set off from the Xia Pi Kingdom, now there are only remnants of the defeated army under his command, which is not the same.
Dolgon ordered the pursuit of Cao Bao to be stopped, because he had received accurate information, and Zhao Gongzi and Kong Rong of Yingling jointly sent troops to march to Anqiu County, intending to capture Anqiu County and open the passage between the remaining four counties of Beihai Kingdom and Langya Kingdom.
At the same time, Chutian of Langya actively cooperated, approaching Anqiu County from the south and putting pressure on Dolgon.
The current Dolgon is in the middle of the flanking trend of the two Inhuman Lords Zhao Gongzi and Chu Tian, and it may be wiped out at any time.
Chu Tian and Zhao Gongzi can stand out from the many alien lords and climb to the top ten positions in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is no better than mediocre talents who rely on the top of the family.
They are all ruthless people.
Chutian fought all the way from Xiacheng in the south of Langya Kingdom to Beihai Kingdom, and Zhao Gongzi held on to the four counties of Beihai Country under the attack of the locust-like Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which is enough to explain the problem.
Chu Tian's large-scale capture of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the southern part of Anqiu County made Dolgon even more uneasy.
The advantage of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is that there are many people, and it is in the heart of Chu Tianxia, and Chu Tian is specially here to plunder the population.
Once the strong men of the Beihai Kingdom are plundered by Chu Tian, Dolgon's vitality will be greatly damaged.
Without people, it is impossible to implement the tactics of crowds, and it is impossible to establish a kingdom in Qi in the future.
"You lead an army of 100,000 to hold Anqiu County, and recruit another 100,000 Duchang army, 100,000 Xiami army, and 100,000 Jiaodong army to attack Yingling and besiege Wei to rescue Zhao. You can't fight with Zhao Gongzi and Kong Rong in the field, you must wait for the arrival of all kinds of armies, and the 400,000 army will attack together. ”
Dolgon instructed the Yellow Turban commander Guan Hai to go down.
Guan Hai had to obey Dolgon's orders, and Dolgon defeated the 50,000 Xuzhou army led by Cao Bao and Mi Fang, and his prestige among the Yellow Turban Army soared, faintly overshadowing Guan Hai.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which is now under siege and suppression, can only hope to survive under the leadership of Dolgon.
Guan Hai said, "Where are you going?" ”
"I personally commanded an army of 100,000 to meet the army of Langya State, and at the same time ordered Gaomi and Jimo to send 100,000 troops each to attack the counties and Dongwu counties of Langya State, cutting off Chu Zimou's grain route and back road from behind. I don't believe I can't eat him! ”
The war potential of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was exerted to the extreme in the hands of war maniacs like Dolgon.
He can launch 700,000 Yellow Turban troops in a county in Beihai Country, and the soldiers will crush the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers in two ways!
Even the Yellow Turban Army of Jinan was under the command of his generals to defeat Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and confronted the three-county coalition army of Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin.
Dolgon has become the uncrowned king of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou.
At this time, Chu Tian was still speeding up the capture of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and he was a little excited to see the captured Yellow Turban Army being sent to the rear to enrich the counties.
In Chutian's dictionary, the spoils of war include the population.
Mulan's Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry has two war eagles, which can take turns to go out to reconnoitre, plus there are cavalry sent by Chutian on the ground to sentry, and the success rate of Dolgon's sneak attack is extremely low.
This is also why Chu Tian is relieved to let the troops capture the Yellow Turban Army on a large scale, just like catching wild boars.
Mi Fang couldn't understand that Chu Tian was more excited than seeing a woman when he saw thousands of Yellow Turban Army prisoners.
After the capture of nearly 50,000 Yellow Turban troops in Anqiu County, the Yellow Turban Army was terrified of Chu Tian and his army. Compared to the Yellow Turban Army, Chutian's army is more like locusts, and even people are not spared, and the Yellow Turban Army is caught and dragged away like wild boars......
The Yellow Turbans fled, leaving the nearby hills empty.
Cao Bao thus had the opportunity to join Chu Tian.
When he saw Chutian again, Cao Bao no longer had the arrogance he had before.
The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave.
Compared with Chu Tian's record of attacking Dongwu County and defeating Wu Sangui, the record of his army along the way is too embarrassing.
The remnants of Cao Bao and Mi Fang combined were about 10,000 people, and when Chu Tian captured the Yellow Turban Army, he rescued 5,000 Xuzhou soldiers, increasing the size of the Xuzhou Army to 15,000 people.
The 50,000 people of the Xuzhou army set out from Zhuxian County to 15,000 people in Anqiu County, suffered heavy losses and suffered great losses.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes did not have many troops when they first started their troops, and the elite of 30,000 and a half was lost, and even the state assassin would be distressed.
Chutian joined forces with them, about 40,000 people, and continued to advance towards Anqiu County.
During this period, Chutian learned that Liu Dai, the commander of the crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, was defeated by an unknown Yellow Turban Army general and trapped in Dongpingling.
Cao Cao, Chen Liu, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin, the three Taishou of Dongjun, carefully advanced and went to rescue Liu Dai.
During this period, Cao Cao fought with the unnamed Yellow Turban general, and each suffered damage.
Cao Cao's fierce generals were like clouds, but after all, he suffered the loss of too few troops.
Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army of Jinan State that defeated the Qingzhou Thorn History and Yanzhou Thorn History was not low-level.
The battle situation in Qingzhou spread throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Luoyang court was shaken.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army defeated the 50,000 men of Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, the 50,000 men sent by Tao Qian, and the 270,000 crusading army of Xuzhou almost at the same time in the eastern and western battlefields, and there may be only 200,000 left.
For a time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army became even more powerful!
After losing Beihaixiang, Qingzhou Thorn History, Yanzhou Thorn History, and Xuzhou Thorn History, who else in the world can fight against them?
Originally, the Xiliang rebels knocked on Chang'an to alarm the imperial court, and at this time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army had a tendency to sweep through the eastern part of the country, once it was united with the Jizhou Black Mountain Army and the Xihe Baibo Army, I am afraid that it would not be the second Yellow Turban Uprising, and this time the Yellow Turban Uprising was even larger, sweeping the five states.
The imperial court was no longer able to mobilize more soldiers and horses.
In order to suppress the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, the imperial court has dispatched the elite of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, but there are no soldiers to adjust at this time.
The Han army in Guanzhong fought more than the Xiliang rebels, the Han army in Jizhou suppressed the Black Mountain Army, and the Han army in Youzhou crusaded against the rebellious Wuhuan tribe.
Only Yuzhou and Yangzhou may be able to send troops and horses.
As a result, the imperial court had to reactivate the famous general Huang Fu Song, who was impeached by the Ten Standing Servants, and ordered Huang Fu Song to go to Nanyang, Runan, Yingchuan, and Huainan to recruit soldiers and horses to suppress the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. As for whether it is too late, it can only be resigned to fate.
The various lords in Nanyang and Huainan fought each other, occupying the land as the king, and the Han court did not directly control much land, and the foreign emperor Fu Song wanted to recruit a soldier and horse enough to suppress the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid it would not be easy.
Fortunately, Cao Cao defeated the 80,000 Yellow Turban Army by the Yellow River, and Chutian held the counties and recovered Dongwu County, and at the same time captured 50,000 Yellow Turban troops in Anqiu County, and the imperial court was slightly relieved.
Chutian's official position as the prime minister of Langya is finally supported by military exploits, and he will not be discriminated against by people because of bribing the ten permanent servants.
The era of the division of the Eastern Han Dynasty has not yet come, it has been in chaos, and the surrounding civilizations are also peeking at the border of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
If it is placed in ancient times, because of the terrain, various civilizations could not cross the Gobi and the sea to fight.
But not necessarily in "Lords". As long as you occupy a large city in the opponent's civilization area and have enough gold and silver, you can use the teleportation array to continuously send a large army to the opponent's civilization to conquer.
The lords of Goryeo, Dayue, and Donghu were eager to see the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army sweeping across the entire Eastern Han Dynasty in order to profit from it.
In Anqiu County, Beihai, Qingzhou, Chutian led a large army to approach the county seat.
Cao Bao reminded: "Dolgon's cavalry is very terrifying. ”
"He's already lined up ahead."
The scouts sent by Chutian had already engaged Dolgon's scouts, and learned that Dolgon relied on Anqiu County and planned to meet them in Anqiu County.
Chu Tian could not speculate on Dolgon's strength. There are too many Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and it is impossible to judge with the naked eye.
Chu Tian even thought that Dolgon didn't know how many soldiers he had.
In fact, Chu Tian's judgment was correct, and Dolgon could only roughly estimate the strength of the army.
He could already see the army of Chutian that appeared near Anqiu County.
Anqiu County became the focus of contention between the Yellow Turban Army and the officers and soldiers.
If Chu Tian, Cao Bao, and Mi Fang want to join Zhao Gongzi and Kong Rong, they must lay down Anqiu County.
Originally, Chutian's army went to contain the Yellow Turban Army in Jiaodong, Jimo, and Gaomi, and Cao Bao and Mi Fang were responsible for capturing Anqiu County.
As a result, Cao Bao and Mi Fang were almost wiped out, and Chu Tian could only come and attack in person.
After the Yellow Turban Army of Jiaodong, Jimo, and Gaomi is not contained, it may attack Langya State at any time and cut off Chutian's back road, and the situation in Chutian is grim.
If possible, Chu Tian would consider a quick solution.
Dolgon led a team of cavalry to observe Chu Tian's defense, and suddenly felt afraid of Chu Tian, and had the idea of surrendering without a fight.
"Calm down."
Dolgon's heart became more and more uncomfortable in the face of the army personally commanded by Chu Tian.
He regretted it a little, he should have changed his goal with Guan Hai.
Chutian has its own "Heavenly Khan" characteristic, which has a serious suppressive effect on heroes such as Xianbei, Turkic, and Jurchen.
That's why Dolgon had the idea of surrendering for some reason.
But Dolgon, after all, was a hero, and suppressed this thought.
