Chutian decided to leave Li Guang to recruit troops in Taishan County. Considering that Li Guang was not a resourceful general, and his luck was relatively bad, General Chu Tian had just been left behind by Du Ruhui, a military advisor who had not long been there, to assist Li Guang in defending the city.

Li Guang himself is a bow general, and there is a military advisor with an intelligence of more than 90 to help, as long as he does not take the initiative to go out of the city, the defense of the city is quite stable.

"When a strong enemy comes to attack, you only need to clear the wall. Any action must be done with the consent of the military advisor. ”

Chu Tian repeatedly told Li Guang.

Li Guang's luck is poor, and the management of the army is actually not rigorous, compared to Zhou Yafu, it is not very reassuring to use.

Zhou Yafu had no military advisors, and Chu Tian dared to let him go to Dongping Kingdom to drag Cao Cao.

Li Guang is not worthy of a military advisor, and he may be captured by Cao Cao.

Historically, Li Guang was once captured by the Huns because of his rash advance, and he escaped back when the Huns were unprepared.

"Lord, the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry searched for the former Taishan County Taishou in the area of Mount Tai, and successively captured hundreds of fleeing defenders, one of whom was recognized as the famous general Cao Di under the Taishan County Taishou."

Hua Mulan came to report to Chutian about the arrest of Taishan County Taishou.

When Fenggao Fortress was captured, Taishou and his military commander Cao Di abandoned the city and fled. Cao Di was also loyal to his lord, and even if the city was captured, he still followed his lord.

When the Iron Eagle scouts were vigorously searching for the fleeing defenders, Cao Di and hundreds of defenders were unfortunately arrested in distress.

"Cao Di ......"

Chu Tian was very familiar with the name of this general.

Cao Di has only recorded it once in his life, and that is the Battle of the Long Spoon.

There is a famous "Cao Di Polemic" in "Zuo Biography", and Chutian still remembers its content: In the spring of the tenth year, Qi Shi attacked me. Gong general battle, Cao Di, please see. The villagers said: "What is the point of the meat eaters? He said: "Meat eaters are despised, and they can't plan far." ”……

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. This allusion comes from Cao Di.

The capture of this famous general of the Spring and Autumn Lu State was somewhat surprised by Chutian.

"Bring him up to me."

Chutian lacks a group of second- and third-rate famous generals, and Cao Di only has one record in the Spring and Autumn Period, which should not be comparable to Zhou Yafu, Le Yi and others, but it is not weak.

Chu Tian wanted to recruit Cao Di.

Cao Di was brought over, about thirty years old, and he seemed very calm, not panicking about being a prisoner.

"Cao Di, you are commanding the defenders, blocking my troops, and delaying time, can you be guilty?"

"What is the sin of being loyal to the master, defending the city, and blocking the enemy's division?"

Cao Di did not mess up because of Chutian's pressure.

This is a calm general.

Chu Tian likes this type of military generals very much, because such military generals often represent reliability, even if they are not matched with military advisors, they can still be independent.

He threw an olive branch to Cao Di: "It's better to be loyal to me, and you won't lose your position as a general in the future." ”

"I can't obey my fate. Therefore, if the whereabouts of the Lord are unknown, how can he take refuge in the new Lord? ”

Unexpectedly, Cao Di did not surrender and refused Chu Tian's solicitation.

With the current identity of Chutian Xuzhou Mu, coupled with the bright future, there are not many generals who are willing to refuse Chutian. Cao Di is one of the exceptions.

In the face of such a general, it is difficult to force it, which is also what Chu Tian feels tricky. Unless Cao Di's lord is killed or surrenders, Cao Di is likely to surrender.

"You serve as my army for the time being, calm down."

Although Cao Di was still unwilling to surrender, Chu Tian did not intend to let Cao Di go, and took Cao Di with him as one of the soldiers.

This is also Chu Tian's cleverness, whether you are willing to surrender or not, just be useful to me.

The more heroes he came into contact with, Chu Tian had already summed up several sets of methods, and they would always submit to these heroes.

“……”

Cao Di was forcibly appointed by Chu Tian to join the army, and in order to survive, he had to accept the appointment, and this was not up to him.

It's a big deal that you don't have to make suggestions in the future.

Cao Di thought like this, and this was relieved.

He can be in Cao Ying, and his heart is in Han.

"Lord, Yang Ye defeated Yuan Shu in Peiguo, killed and injured Yuan Shu 10,000 people successively, beheaded Yuan Shu's pioneer Qiao Rui, and almost captured Yuan Shu himself!"

When Chu Tian was about to leave Taishan County to support Zang Ba and Sun Guan, he received information from Peiguo Yiren.

"Yuan Shu has more than 100,000 troops, and he was defeated by Yang Ye's 10,000 cavalry?"

When Chu Tian received this news, he couldn't help but be stunned.

That's 100,000 people!

Chu Tian planned to call Yuan Shu Yuan 100,000.

According to Chutian's suggestion to Yang Ye, the Yang owner should focus on defense, strengthen Xiaopei's city defense, and use Yin Li and Mi Fang, who were transferred to Pengcheng, as horns to block Yuan Shu and buy time for Chutian.

The worst-case scenario is that Xiao Pei is captured by Yuan Shu with superior forces, and Yang Ye will retreat to Pengcheng for a second defense. After Pengcheng was lost, he retreated to Xiapi for the third defense.

Even in the worst case, Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling thought it was enough time to delay.

However, Yang Ye took the initiative to attack and severely damaged Yuan Shu's morale, which could delay Yuan Shu more than defending the city.

When Fang Xuanling learned of this, he said: "Yang Yewei shocked Peiguo, with Yuan Shu's character, he must hesitate. The lord can do his best to deal with Zhao Gongzi. As long as Zhao Gongzi is defeated, Yuan Shu is not afraid. ”

"Reasonable."

In Chu Tian's mind, Zhao Gongzi, who had the Eight Banners Cavalry and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, posed a far greater threat than Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Shu's territory was larger, in Chu Tian's eyes, it was like a coalition of rabble put together.

One Yang Ye will kill the enemy's courage!

Yang Ye is also one of the few generals who can be used as soon as he surrenders. Because Yang Ye is in Xiaopei, Chutian has no worries.

"How is Yuan Shao now?"

Thinking that he didn't have to worry about the threat brought by Yuan Shu for the time being, Chu Tian thought of the threat brought by Yuan Shao again.

At present, Yuan Shu's surface territory is larger than Yuan Shao's, but Yuan Shao's real strength is stronger than Yuan Shu's. Yuan Shao and Chutian were separated by the plain county of Qingzhou and the country of Jinan, and he could enter Qingzhou at any time.

If Yuan Shao also joins the melee south of the Yellow River, the situation will be even more complicated.

Chu Tian was equivalent to starting a war with several great princes at the same time.

With the strength of one Xuzhou against the princes of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, most of Chutian's forces were dragged down. When Yuan Shao joins the battlefield, the situation will change unimaginably.

"Chu Zimou, in order to repay the kindness of the national war, I have persuaded Yuan Shao to go north to fight with Liu Bei for the northern Hebei region, you don't have to worry about Yuan Shao entering Qingzhou. Liu Bei is a strong enemy, and I don't know if I can defeat him. If Yuan Shao and I can unify Hebei, we may have the Battle of Guandu in the future. ”

Zhao Long, the Taishou of Wei County, who took refuge in Yuan Shao, explained Yuan Shao's strategic intentions to Chutian, which was regarded as returning Chutian's invitation. Chu Tian exchanged Catherine for Zhao Long during the National War, and Zhao Long reciprocated by persuading Yuan Shao to go north instead of south.

"Is this a return for gratitude? Or was this your original strategic intent? ”

Zhao Long can become the Taishou of Wei County under Yuan Shao, with real power, equivalent to a country within a country, and he is also a shrewd guy. The kindness he owed to Chu Tian was repaid in this painless way.

Yuan Shao's going north is definitely more important than going south. Once Liu Bei is made bigger, the overlord of Hebei will probably have to be replaced.

"If you don't think it's a return for the favor. In the future, if you defeat me in the battle of Guandu, maybe I can make my generals submit to you. ”

Zhao Long briefly talked to Chu Tian for a few words.

For Zhao Long's words, Chu Tianxin had almost five achievements.

Based on the information provided by other players in Jizhou, he knew that Yuan Shao was indeed at war with Liu Bei recently.

"Yuan Shao and Liu Bei? Who would have thought that they would fight ......"

Chu Tian didn't know who would be superior.

Liu Bei has several fierce generals about Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ashina Sheer, and he lacks a military division to make up for the shortcomings. Liu Bei also has the support of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu. Liu Yu has a group of second- and third-rate Youzhou military generals, as well as Youzhou soldiers and horses.

Yuan Shao had generals such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Ju Yi, etc., and also absorbed a group of Jizhou strategists, such as Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, and Judge, and there were other lords to help. The most powerful Inhuman Lord of Yuan Shao's power is none other than Wei County Taishou Zhao Long, and Shi Wansui is no less than the Five Tiger Generals.

"If Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Shi Wansui can match Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Zhang He can match Ashina Sheer, then Yuan Shao is better."

Chu Tian briefly compared the strength of Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, and finally judged that Yuan Shao had the upper hand.

"No...... right"

Chutian still couldn't see the results of the melee in Hebei clearly.

If it is said that south of the Yellow River, Chutian is unique and is attacked by many princes, then north of the Yellow River, there is a battle between several great princes, and anyone can win.

In Jizhou, the most populous state, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei were at war. There are also lords Hu Ma and Lian Po Legion in Bingzhou, Youzhou has Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Liaoxi has Gongsun Zan and Prince Yan, and Liaodong has Mingguan. There may have been other minor princes among these large princes.

In contrast, south of the Yellow River, the melee between Chu Tian, Cao Cao, Zhao Gongzi, Yuan Shu, and Gongziwen seemed to have a more predictable outcome.

"Military division, north of the Yellow River, who can win?"

Chu Tian asked Fang Xuanling for his opinion.

"It's all possible, as far as Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are concerned, it depends on the side of Huma, the lord of Bingzhou."

Fang Xuanling pointed out the key to the victory of Yuan Shao and Liu Bei in the battle that determined the ownership of Hebei.

In Taiyuan, Bingzhou, Huma's Lianpo army will decide whether to stand in Yuan Shao's camp or Liu Bei's camp.

"Maybe Huma will take advantage of the defeat of Yuan Shao and Liu Bei to annex Yuan Shao and Liu Bei at the same time, provided that he wants to unify and merge states."

Chu Tian deduced the situation, there were too many possibilities.

Huma and Zhao Long joined forces, Yuan Shao's camp plus Zhao Long's Shi Wansui Legion and Huma's Lian Po Legion, Liu Bei was mostly unstoppable.

Hu Ma joined forces with Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was helped by Lian Po's army, and it was very likely that he would defeat Yuan Shao.

Huma can also be a bystander, taking advantage of the two princes to fight and encroach on the territory of two people.

"That's it, as long as Yuan Shao doesn't meddle in the affairs south of the Yellow River."

Chu Tian no longer guessed who could get the land of Hebei.

The only thing that is certain is that the princes who dominate Hebei will become the strong enemies of Chutian, and maybe the battle of Guandu will break out between the two sides.

The Eastern Han region was in chaos, full of warring princes, and there were more than ten great princes north of the Yellow River and south of the Yellow River that Chutian was concerned about. This does not include Guanzhong, Xiliang, Shudi, Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other regions that Chutian did not pay much attention to.

"Chu Zimou, I decided to temporarily change the direction of the march. Shouchun is difficult to overcome. Now the lords of Danyang County and Wu County are fighting, and both sides have suffered heavy losses, so I want to cross the Yangtze River south and take Danyang County and Wu County. You carefully defend Gwangneung County. ”

Chutian was not worried that when Yuan Shao went south to Qingzhou, the Lujiang Taishou Tongque, who originally attacked Shouchun, temporarily changed the direction of the march, gave up attacking Shouchun, and took Jiangnan directly.

Tongque had been secretly peeking at the lords of Jiangnan, and at this time, he got the opportunity to immediately change the direction of attack.

Tongque's change of tactics left the lords of Jiujiang County, Chen Qingzhi, and Guo Jia, who supported Yuan Shu, unrestrained.

"Tongque, this is to take Jiangnan!"

Chutian was on guard against the Tongque with the Beifu army, and if the Tongque could obtain the six counties of Jiangdong, the threat would be greater than that of Eastern Wu. The six counties of Jiangdong in "Lord" have a larger population than Xuzhou, as well as the Yangtze River natural insurance.

Tongque and Chu Tian only made a verbal agreement, and the sudden change of attack direction was also in the situation that Chu Tian expected.

"Guangling County has Chen Deng's 30,000 soldiers and horses, even if Jiujiang County has Chen Qingzhi and Guo Jia, the cavalry cannot play a role, and Guangling County can hold it. The most feared attack by Chen Qingzhi and others was not Guangling, but Xiapi. The soldiers and horses of Jiujiang County joined forces with Yuan Shu, and Xiapi, Pengcheng, and Xiaopei were all likely to fall. ”

Chu Tian's plan was forced to change because Tongque suddenly encountered an opportunity to conquer Jiangnan.

At present, Chutian has to be distracted to deal with Zhao Gongzi, Yuan Shu, and Jiujiang County Taishou.

"The lord can use the teleportation array of Taishan County to go to Xiapi and personally deal with the soldiers and horses of Jiujiang County. As for Zhao Gongzi's side, the two generals Hua Mulan and Le Yi can go to support Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun. ”

Fang Xuanling proposed to divide the troops.

This is the first time that a teleportation array has been used.

Teleportation arrays are expensive, but that doesn't mean they can't be used. As long as the cost of the teleportation array is lower than the cost of the long march, it is entirely possible to use the teleportation array to transport troops.

"Le Yi and Hua Mulan, the two of you go to support Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun. Joan of Arc, as well as Zheng Zhilong, we used the teleportation array to go to Xiapi Kingdom, and defeated two soldiers and horses at the same time. ”

Chu Tian was ruthless and decided to consume tens of thousands of taels of silver, arrived in Xiapi Kingdom by surprise, and severely damaged Yuan Shu and the soldiers and horses of Jiujiang County.

No one would have imagined that Chu Tian, who was going all out to deal with Zhao Gongzi, would dare to divide his troops to attack Yuan Shu.

Fang Xuanling reminded: "This battle may require the lord to go into battle in person, and it may be dangerous." ”

"I can't wait."

Chu Tian's own commander attribute is 80, and he also has attributes such as "Blue Wolf White Deer" and "Great Han Army Soul", which is no less than a king-level cavalry commander.

Moreover, no one knew how powerful the cavalry led by Chu Tian was, because Chu Tian almost did not personally lead his troops to charge into battle.

"It is estimated that even Guo Jia and Chen Qingzhi don't know that my cavalry is very strong."

"Order Xia Liang and Li Xiuning to lead the women's army along the Yi River to Xiapi. Even if Chen Qingzhi came in person, he would be killed by me. ”

Chutian did not forget to bring Li Xiuning, who has the characteristics of "Heroine Linchao" (including 7% of the aura of the whole army) and "Princess Zhao's Encouragement" (to boost morale).
