"Xu Sheng and Zheng Zhilong, under the guise of Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, defrauded Jimo City, and the Fubo Army has occupied Jimo, and the two of them led Jimo's troops to attack Jiaodong County!"

"Let them do what they want."

Chu Tian retreated to Zhishuo County in Beihai Kingdom, and when he heard Xu Sheng and Zheng Zhilong's actions, he couldn't help but be surprised by their performance.

Xu Sheng's power in Chutian is considered a second-rate general, and Zheng Zhilong is a first-rate military general at sea, but he is only a second- or third-rate military general on land. The two of them cooperated, and they were able to attack the city on land.

After Zhao Gongzi fled to the Qi State, only a small number of defenders remained in Beihai State and Donglai County, and the Fubo Army was able to pacify the counties.

At present, the Fubo Legion has no other combat goals, so it is not bad to let Xu Sheng and Zheng Zhilong fight in Qingzhou and experience the Fubo Legion.

Chu Tian prepared two things in the Beihai Kingdom. One is to send people to guard the Beihai Kingdom, and to peek at the remaining four counties of Qingzhou at any time. Second, capture Yingling County, which Tai Shici held on, and capture Tai Shici.

After preparing for the two things, Chu Tian could return to Xia City to farm.

Chu Tian just wanted to farm well in Xuzhou, but the restless princes around him came to the door one by one to provoke, and Chu Tian was also helpless about it.

Linzi in Qingzhou has Tiandan defending the city, and wants to capture the city defended by Tiandan, which is protracted.

"The reason why Zhao Gongzi and Tian Qi joined forces was because the lord was aggressive, and they had cold lips and teeth. If the lords stop the offensive, maybe they will strife among themselves. ”

It was not Fang Xuanling who persuaded Chu Tian this time, but Lu Su.

After he knew that Chu Tian was easy to get along with, he began to put forward his own opinions. Although Lu Su is still very immature compared with Fang Xuanling, who has become an old fritter at this time, he is a plastic talent after all.

"That's exactly what I mean. Ordered Le Yi to quickly capture Yingling County and govern the Beihai Kingdom. Fang Xuanling, you are responsible for requisitioning and distributing the township warriors in the counties of Beihai Kingdom, and mobilizing 200,000 township warriors to completely fill up Yingling County. ”

Chu Tian was ruthless.

Tai Shici was unwilling to surrender the city, so he used the crowd tactics commonly used by the Yellow Turban Army to forcibly capture Yingling County.

Tai Shi Ci can't be allowed to become a nail in the nail of the Beihai Kingdom, otherwise the Beihai Kingdom will not be able to stabilize and develop, and it will also drag down the military strength of Chu Tian's main army.

Many counties in Beihai Kingdom have fallen from the wind, and Fang Xuanling forcibly recruited 2-40,000 townships from each county to gather in Yingling County.

The Legion has ordered craftsmen to build hundreds of trebuchets during this time, and use stones to bombard the camp mausoleum every day, destroying fortifications such as arrow towers and city gate towers.

Tai Shi Ci personally defended the city, using a longbow to shoot enemies who tried to get close to the city walls, and the arrows were not missed.

Le Yi observed Yingling City for several days, and basically explored Tai Shici's defense.

When it comes to commanding soldiers and horses and attacking and defending the city, Tai Shici is still a lot worse than Le Yi.

"The lord has issued an order to recruit 200,000 people to come, and ask the general to capture the camp within a month and capture the defending general Tai Shici alive."

Chutian sent Zhao Yun, who was relatively strong, to serve as Le Yi's escort and assist Le Yi in conquering the Yingling.

Le Yi said: "If 200,000 people are in place, within 15 days, you can take this city." As for Tai Shici's life or death, there is no guarantee. ”

In Taishan County, Taishou Li Guang and military advisor Du Ruhui led the temporarily formed Taishan Army to attack Jinan.

The Taishan Legion is not the main legion, but belongs to the establishment of the defensive legion, similar to the Langya Defense Corps of Zang Ba and Sun Guan, and the East China Sea Defense Corps of Mi Fang.

Du Ruhui rectified the original surrender of Taishan County, and temporarily formed the Taishan Army in accordance with Chutian's order. With a total of 40,000 men, it was the largest number of local legions.

The defending legion can be used to aggressively attack, and offense is the best defense.

Li Guang led the Taishan Army to attack Jinan and went straight to Dongpingling, the seat of Jinan State Administration.

The strong assault of the Chutian forces caught Qingzhou Assassin Shi off guard.

He couldn't imagine that the Xuzhou Army was fighting on multiple fronts!

The Xuzhou Legion is like a few greedy pythons, entwining and strangling the Qingzhou Legion.

Qingzhou Thorn Shi sent Tian Dan, the most powerful military general under his command, to successfully block the Xuzhou Legion in Qi State, but the Taishan Army began to attack Jinan State, which made Qingzhou Thorn Shi can't help but have a headache.

"You go to Jinan to support."

Qingzhou Thorn Shi once again dispatched troops from Pingyuan County to support the Jinan State.

He sent almost all the elite soldiers under his command to block Xuzhou Mu's attack.

Qingzhou Thorn Shi and Zhao Gongzi only have four counties left, while Chutian has the strength of eight counties, and the huge gap in territory makes Qingzhou Thorn Shi feel somewhat hopeless.

He can only adopt the same tactics as Zhao Gongzi, clear the wall, and wait for the change.

Sometimes it's a long delay, and no one knows what's going to happen. For example, if Xuzhou Mu Chuzi died of overindulgence, the Xuzhou army's offensive against Qingzhou would naturally collapse.

As soon as Li Guang's Taishan Army entered Jinan, the defenders of Jinan immediately fled to Dongpingling and joined the defenders of Dongpingling.

"Flying General Li Guang attacks the Kingdom of Jinan!"

"Xuzhou Mu Chuzi plotted to capture Beihai Kingdom!"

"Beihai Xiangkong Rong is trying to capture Xuzhou Mu Chuzi alive!"

As the most powerful prince in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xuzhou Mu's actions have attracted the attention of various princes, and all princes are very concerned about the development of Chutian.

Of course, they were not kind-hearted concerns, but they wished that they would get up the next day and that Chutian could disappear out of thin air.

Now Chutian's territory has changed from five counties in Xuzhou to eight counties, and it has become the largest prince south of the Yellow River.

The surrounding princes were suppressed by Chu Tian, and none of them improved.

Zhao Gongzi was beaten to only one Qi State, Qingzhou Assassin Shi Tian Qi's general Tian Ji lost 30,000 elite soldiers, Yuan Shu's soldiers were defeated and vomited blood, Taishan County Taishou fled in the wilderness, Jiujiang County Taishou was killed by his subordinate Hou Jing, and Cao Cao was struggling in pain......

"Wen Ruo, Gongda, now that the situation is not good for me, how to suppress Xuzhou Chu Zimou?"

Cao Cao found Xun Yu and Xun Yu and was worried.

Chu Tian suppressed the surrounding princes, and the only princes who were able to resist were Tianqi and Cao Cao.

Xun You and Xun Yu, even though they were the masterminds and Wang Zuozhicai, were silent in the face of the absolute gap in national strength.

Chutian has eight counties, Gongziwen has two counties, and there are a total of ten counties.

Cao Cao had only three counties.

Xun You, as Wang Zuo, has a huge bonus to the territory, but Chutian also has a Li Kui, who can bring a grain production bonus every year, and has a large number of Wenchen to govern, so the development speed of Xuzhou is only faster than that of Yanzhou.

"Even the two of them can't do anything......"

Cao Cao's throat was dry.

If Xun Yu and Xun Yu both take Chu Zimou, Cao Cao will be unable to support it alone.

The current Cao Cao ostensibly took refuge in Yuan Shao, but in fact he could not obtain Yuan Shao's effective support. The reason is simple, Yuan Shao is trying to expel Liu Bei's forces from Julu County, and he has no time to be distracted and go south.

Unless Yuan Shao eliminated Liu Bei, it would be possible to support Cao Cao.

This is probably the worst Cao Cao in history, when his opponent has eight counties, he only has three counties.

Finally, Xun You, as the mastermind, couldn't stand it anymore: "My subordinates mentioned this matter to a few strangers and asked them for a way to break the situation." Some strangers thought that they could annex Yuan Highway's troops, occupy Yuzhou, and use Yuzhou and Yanzhou as their territory to compete with Chu Zimou. This may be the last chance for the lord. Once Chu Zimou continues to become bigger, there will be no good chance. ”

Cao Cao listened to Xun You's words, and his eyes gradually became brighter.

Yuan Shukong has a huge territory, but he is mediocre, he was beaten by Yang Ye's 10,000 people to the point of being scattered, and he was taught a good lesson by Chutian in Pengcheng, and Cao Cao was dissatisfied with it.

"But, will the Inhumans support me?"

Cao Cao sat on the ground and talked about the general trend with Xun You and Xun Yu.

This may be one of the few opportunities for their power.

Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, the four major states, represent the princes of Chutian, Tian Qi, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu. Among them, Chutian forcibly occupied Taishan County in Yanzhou, Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County in Qingzhou, which is equivalent to occupying 1.5 states.

If Chu Tian's sphere of influence is allowed to exceed two states, Cao Cao has almost no chance of turning the tables.

Xun You analyzed for Cao Cao: "With the reputation of the lord, he responds to all kinds of people in the strangers. Yuan Shu has a group of Inhuman lords with strength and ambition, and when they see that Yuan Shu cannot defeat Chu Zimou, they will definitely be willing to assist the lord to defeat Chu Zimou, and then fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the situation to rise. ”

"I'm not boasting, I'm quite famous among the aliens."

Cao Cao didn't know why he was sought after by a large number of strangers. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the strangers who came to visit Cao Cao every day could break through Cao Cao's threshold.

If it weren't for the rise of a Chu Zimou in Xuzhou, Cao Cao, who had a large number of foreign people, might have unified the four states south of the Yellow River and was preparing to go north to defeat Yuan Shao.

Chu Tian's reputation also made a group of Inhumans take refuge, and the rest of those who were unwilling to take refuge in Chu Tian were all ambitious Inhuman Lords. Or, they are reluctant to be above the top of 10,000 people in their own power.

Xun You said: "That's it. The lord replaced Yuan Highway and became the prince across Yanzhou and Yuzhou, promising the Inhuman lords of Yuzhou to break the earth and seal the marquis and not interfere with their territory, so that the Inhuman lords could serve the lord. Xuzhou Mu Chuzi is powerful, why did the Yiren lord of Yuzhou not take refuge in Chu Zimou, but on Yuan Highway? It's just that they are unwilling to give up their existing power, status, and ambition to compete in the Central Plains. The lord can take advantage of his ambition......"

"The lord and Wen Ruo and Gongda discuss important matters, why don't you call your subordinates? Perhaps, subordinates have the ability to relieve the Lord's troubles. ”

Strategist Cheng Yu interrupted Xun You and Cao Cao's conversation.

After Cao Cao was appointed by the old Qin Yu to report to the Son of Heaven as the assassin of Yanzhou, Cheng Yu officially served Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's talent has been increasing, but Cao Cao's power has been maliciously targeted by Chu Tian, so Cao Cao seems to have not developed.

When Cao Cao saw Cheng Yu coming, and hearing Cheng Yu's tone, it seemed that he could break the deadlock for Cao Cao's forces, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "If Zhongde has a plan, he can say it quickly." ”

Cheng Yu sat precariously: "As Gongda said, Yuzhou should be annexed, and the forces of Yan and Henan should be combined to defeat Chu Zimou, which is the only plan." ”

Xun You's vision was very accurate, Cao Cao thought that Cheng Yu had other countermeasures, but he repeated Xun You's strategy, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"However, the alien lord of Runan County, Yuzhou, said that Tang, sent a doorman, and asked his subordinates to introduce him to the lord, and his words were sincere, and his subordinates thought that they could unite him."

This time, Cheng Yu's words completely moved Cao Cao.

Xun You just proposed a plan, and the alien lord of Yuzhou had already come to the door.

"There are three people to take advantage of. First, Runan Taishou said that Tang, he has military generals and courage. Second, Hou Jing of Shouchun City, he has ambitions. Third, Jiyin County Taishou Gongzi Wen ......"

"Why is there a childe?"

Cao Cao hated Gongzi Wen to the core. If it weren't for Gongziwen, he would have unified Yanzhou and attacked Xuzhou long ago.

Cheng Yu shook his head: "Why is Gongziwen fighting with us?" It is nothing more than to fight for Yanzhou. Now Chu Zimou's power is getting bigger and bigger, but Gongziwen's power has only expanded from one county to two counties. If the lord is defeated by Chu Zimou, Gongziwen's two counties will also become Chu Zimou's pockets. If Gongziwen wants not to be annexed, he can only choose to join forces with us. Please let go of the hatred with Gongziwen, join forces to defeat Chu Zimou, and then divide the victory with Gongziwen. ”

"This is reasonable......

Cao Cao was already a little sick and rushed to the doctor, and wanted to unite with Gongziwen to attack Chutian.

"Send someone to secretly contact Hou Jing and Gongziwen. In addition, please ask the envoys of the Taishou Tang of Runan to come and see me. ”

Cao Cao finally approved Cheng Yu's proposal.

Runan Taishou said that Tang secretly joined forces with Cao Cao, and this matter was relatively secret and unknown.

Yuan Shu has been abandoned, and Yuan Shu has no use value for either Cao Cao or the rising Runan Taishou.

Runan Taishou passed through Cheng Yu and then told Cao Cao to hide the sight of the alien spies that Chu Tian had placed beside Cao Cao.

Chu Tian had not yet noticed that Cao Cao was making his final struggle.

Chutian defeated the princes around Cao Cao in order to eliminate Cao Cao in one fell swoop, drive Cao Cao's army to the Yellow River, and annihilate them completely.

Jiyin County, Dingtao, as a prince who is neither too big nor too small, Gongziwen's situation is quite awkward - he is sandwiched between the forces of Chutian and Cao Cao.

If he could defeat Cao Cao and occupy Yanzhou before Chutian developed, he could become a great prince. But after Chu Tian developed, he still did not improve, and his situation was quite embarrassing.

He received a secret letter from Cao Cao, who wanted to rebel against him and betray his alliance with Chu Tian and join Yuan Shao's camp.

"Cao Cao has three counties, I have two counties, and there are four counties over there in Qingzhou, for a total of nine counties. The other prefectures of Yuzhou and Yanzhou were occupied by various lords...... Cao Cao wants to fight back, does he want to cooperate with Cao Cao? If Chu Zimou is defeated, it is estimated that Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou will have to be reshuffled. The lords of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou should be very eager for the four states to reshuffle, so that anyone can take Chu Zimou's place, because apart from Chu Zimou, no second prince has an absolute advantage......"

Gongziwen took his hand and looked in the direction of Langya Kingdom in Xuzhou, his eyes changed uncertainly.

Cao Cao's proposal to unite with the lords of the three states, defeat Chu Zimou, and reshuffle the cards is undoubtedly tempting for Gongziwen, who wants to chase the Central Plains.
