After capturing Shouchun, Hefei, Dangtu, Zhongli, and Liyang counties, Chutian considered being a candidate for the Taishou of Jiujiang County. It is difficult to fight the world, and it is not easy to govern the world.

A suitable Taishou can make Chu Tian have no worries. For example, Chen Deng defended Guangling, Chutian basically didn't have to worry about the loss of Guangling, and Chen Deng was also good at developing Guangling, making Guangling a granary.

The land of Jiujiang County is richer than that of Guangling County. In the Tuntian area along the Huai River, the grain obtained could finance hundreds of thousands of troops for the crusade against Jiangnan.

Take Jiujiang County, Chutian has nine counties.

Chen Deng recommended Liu Fu to Chu Tian, and Chu Tian had heard of this person. This person should have been Cao Cao's subordinate in history, and was listed by Cao Cao as the assassin of Yanzhou, and single-handedly came to Hefei Kongcheng to carry out tuntian, build water conservancy, and benefit one party, which was praised by the local people.

"In Xiapei, to avoid the war in Liyang County, they wanted to take refuge in Lujiang Taishou Tongque, but they suddenly went south to attack Danyang County, and they didn't have time to take refuge. I also heard that Xuzhou Mu was wise and martial, and sent troops to quell Hou Jing's rebellion, so he specially invited Chen Yuanlong to introduce him. Huainan heavy rain for days, the road is blocked, this is belated, willing to serve the work of Xuzhou herding dogs and horses. ”

Liu Fu is not a mediocre person, he dares to recommend himself, thinking that he has the ability to govern one party.

"Ding! Diamond-level Wenchen Liu Fu is loyal to you. ”

Liu Fu is very direct, good birds choose trees to perch, since he has decided to take refuge, then he will simply be neat and not sell Guanzi.

[Name]: Liu Fu

[Talent]: Diamond-level Wenchen

[Level]: 75

[Loyalty]: 85

[Commander]: 64 [Force]: 49 [Intelligence]: 74 [Politics]: 87 [Charisma]: 85

[Phase]: Calm

[Trait 1]: Tuntian (A-rank trait, +10% grain production in the county)

[Trait 2]: Water Conservancy (A-level trait, the efficiency of water conservancy projects is increased, and the flood damage of the county belongs to -25%)

[Trait 3]: Fortification (A-level trait, the efficiency of building fortifications increases, and the durability of fortifications is +10%)

[Trait 4]: Return to the heart (A-level trait, the morale of the people of the county is not easy to decline, and it is easy for bandits, water bandits, and homeless people to return to obedience)

Chu Tian only glanced at Liu Fu's panel slightly, and didn't expect anything, but Liu Fu actually had four A-level characteristics, which surprised Chu Tian somewhat.

Liu Fu is simply the perfect candidate for Taishou. The ability of tuntian can increase the grain production of Jiujiang County, reduce the frequent floods in the Huainan area, strengthen the defense, and recruit bandits.

"Jiujiang County will be entrusted to Mr."

Chu Tian saw that Liu Fu's loyalty was very high, and decided to appoint Liu Fu as the Taishou of Jiujiang County.

Liu Fu is the kind of Taishou and assassin who can be released as an official, but will not be independent.

"I'm afraid that my talent is limited and I can't do my job."

As soon as Liu Fu met Xuzhou Mu, Xuzhou Mu planned to entrust Jiujiang County to him, and Liu Fu couldn't help but be flattered.

"Huainan has been in war for a long time, and there are wanderers across the mountains and wilderness, Hou Jing is a scourge, the people of Huainan are displaced, and their lives are miserable, which is the critical autumn. God sent Mr. to me, this is to make me reuse Mr. ah. Please don't shirk. ”

Chu Tian was already familiar with dealing with all kinds of talents, and knew that Liu Fu wanted to appease the people, so he used words to impress Liu Fu and work for himself.

Liu Fu was grateful, and wiped his tears with his robe: "Fortunately, the Ming Duke appreciated it, and it was determined that the Ming Duke would appease the people of Huainan and protect the territory and the people." ”

What kind of identity Xuzhou Mu has, he values him so much as a person living in Yangzhou, which makes Liu Fu very moved. Liu Fu's loyalty increased from 85 to 88.

Chu Tian is very satisfied with Liu Fu, a talent who is too guarded.

Chen Deng guards Guangling, Liu Fu guards Jiujiang, and the Huai River area, Chutian can worry about it.

There were no suitable generals in Jiujiang County, so Chutian decided to temporarily leave Xu Sheng to guard Hefei, train soldiers and horses, and form a water division.

Because of the existence of the teleportation array, when the Fubo Legion goes out, Xu Sheng can return to the Fubo Legion, and the generals from other counties can also come to Jiujiang County in time.

Liu Fu guarded Shouchun and carried out Tuntian. Xu Sheng defended Hefei and defended the enemy in the direction of Lujiang and Chaisang.

The Chutian forces lacked the strength of the sailors and the understanding of the Yangtze River basin, so the Huainan area was mainly defensive. Unless the Yangtze River is drunk in the future, Chu Tianfang will consider placing the main force in the Huainan area and turning to the offensive.

Liu Fu is facing Shouchun City, which has been damaged by floods.

He was reused by the Xuzhou pastor, and did his best, organized the people to eliminate the flood, rebuilt the house, and cleaned up the mess left by Chutian.

Chu Tian was able to mobilize the main force and prepare to go to Lujiang County to rob the population.

Chutian gave Liu Fu 20,000 and Xu Sheng 20,000 to form the Jiujiang Defensive Corps, and together with the Guangling Defensive Corps, 70,000 troops were stationed to hold Huainan.

With their troops stationed in Huainan, in the next few years, Chutian can focus on the north and attack Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Mingguan and other northern princes.

The Chutian Legion and the Chen Deng Legion joined Hefei City and joined Yang Ye and Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc was seriously injured, and Chutian went to condole, and was relieved to be sure that Joan of Arc would not die because of serious injuries. Joan of Arc is one of France's most legendary heroes.

Seeing Chu Tian's arrival, Joan of Arc thought of being scolded by Chu Tian for charging into battle in person, and turned her face away, not daring to face Chu Tian.

"You are a freedman, and the legion of servants is a lower slave than a freedman, you just need to treat them as cannon fodder, and you don't have to risk it yourself."

Chu Tian knew that Joan of Arc wanted to make more achievements and returned to France ahead of schedule.

But it was impossible for Chutian to let her go back.

No matter how much credit she makes, it won't be possible.

Joan of Arc still turned her face sideways and hesitated: "I'...... I'll pay attention later. ”

"Li Lan, you take care of her, don't have an accident."

Chutian handed over the job of taking care of Joan of Arc to Li Lan.

"Please rest assured, the vitality of Miss Joan of Arc is very tenacious."

Li Lan worshipped the divine doctor Hua Tuo as his teacher, and is now a senior physician. From a low-level physician to a senior physician, Li Lan is a special talent who has followed Chu Tian since Xia Village, but she usually has no sense of existence.

Chutian's troops and horses attracted the main forces of Hou Jing and Lujiang, so Chen Deng's Guangling defense corps captured Liyang County and other places almost effortlessly.

Regarding Chen Deng's recommendation of Liu Fu, Chutian commended Chen Deng. Recommend talents, and you can also get a part of the credit.

Chutian also commended Yang Ye and Joan of Arc, who had made meritorious contributions to Hefei, so that people could record their military exploits and be promoted in the future.

More than 100,000 troops were assembled in the Hefei area.

So Chutian continued to attack and went to fight Lujiang. To be precise, it is to go to Lujiang to rob the population.

The most important resource in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was not land, but population. Without a population, how to tuntian?

After many wars in Hefei and Shouchun, bandits and bandits were rampant, and the population dropped sharply. On the contrary, Lujiang County has been governed by Lujiang Taishou Tongque, with a large population and the people's hearts are available.

Since Chutian transferred the army to Hefei, he always had to grab a group of people to Jiujiang County, so that he would not lose money.

"Try to attack Shu County, if you can't capture Shu County, then divide your troops and plunder the population of all places."

It is not the first time that Chutian has robbed the population, last time in Qingzhou Beihai Country, Chutian robbed 800,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to return to Langya Country in one go, how can he rob tens of thousands of households to Hefei this time.

Under Chu Tian's instructions, all the generals had already understood the combat objectives. More than 100,000 troops entered Lujiang County, and the people of Lujiang County were panicked!

The Xuzhou army suddenly attacked Lujiang County, alarming all the princes!

Everyone thought that Xuzhou Mu's rebellion against Hou Jing would be stopped, but Xuzhou Mu's ambition seemed to be even greater, and he actually invaded Lujiang County!

Xuzhou Mu already has nine counties, and if Lujiang County is captured, then Xuzhou Mu's territory will have ten counties!

When Lujiang Taishou Tongque attacked Shouchun in Chutian, he had already captured Qu'a County in Wu County, and Liu Jiaozhi, the fierce general of the Beifu Army, beheaded the lord of Qu'a County in the chaotic army.

Tongque originally planned to attack Wuxian (Suzhou), but was shocked to learn that Hefei was occupied by Xuzhou Mu, and the Xuzhou army attacked Lujiang.

"Go back to Lujiang!"

Before conquering Jiangnan, Lujiang was his base, and once Lujiang was lost, Tongque's forces would be dealt a big blow, and he would also lose his last territory in Jiangbei.

Shouchun and Hefei were lost, but Shu County and Anhui County could no longer be lost.

The Beifu Corps quickly returned to the division.

Cao Cao and the princes around Xuzhou, such as the Taishou of Runan, the lord of Peiguo, the lord of Liang, the lord of Chen, and the assassin of Qingzhou, heard that Chutian's army had penetrated deep into Huainan, and at the same time they were ready to move.

As Guo Jia suggested, now is indeed not the time to capture Lujiang. The hearts of the people of Lujiang are available, and once his main army of 100,000 is delayed in Lujiang, Xuzhou will be in danger.

"Give up attacking Shu County, loot the population, and rob as many people as you can!"

Chutian estimated the time for the Beifu Army to return to the division that was too guarded by Lujiang, and he must safely evacuate Lujiang before the Beifu Army returned to the division.

Huan Wen and Zu Ti were defeated in Hefei, knowing that the field battle was not the opponent of Xuzhou's 100,000 army, so they concentrated their main forces to retreat to Shu County, protect the most important city, and wait for their lord to return to the division.

However, the Xuzhou legion did not storm Shucheng as they imagined, but used a part of the force to contain the defenders of Shucheng, and the other legions divided their troops to plunder various places and migrated the population to Hefei.

"As long as you grab more than 20,000 households, you will make money."

Chutian distribution indicators.

Huan Wen and Zu Ti retreated to Shu County, the Xuzhou Army was rampant in Lujiang County, Mi Fang could not fight a tough battle, but his ability to rob the population was first-class, and his East China Sea Defense Corps soon drove 9,000 households to Hefei.

The white-robed army took advantage of the cavalry and penetrated deep into Lujiang County to attack various villages and towns.

"Let's go fight Anhui City!"

Chen Qingzhi's whim.

Xue Rengui knew that the white-robed army was basically cavalry: "The city of Anhui City is strong, can we capture it?" ”

"The soldiers are fast. The main force of Lujiang County was concentrated in Shu County, and Wancheng lacked troops. And Anhui City is located south of the Lujiang River, and the defenders did not expect us to raid for a hundred miles, maybe it would have a miraculous effect. ”

Chen Qingzhi instigated Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun to attack Anhui County and plunder the population of Anhui County.

"You can give it a try."

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun were persuaded, and the white-robed army made a roundabout advance and rushed to Anhui County.

Chu Tianqin led the five schools of the Northern Army and the servant legion, the invincible legion, and the reconnaissance corps to surround Shu County and prevent Huan Wen and Zu Ti from supporting various places.

Mi Fang's East China Sea Defensive Legion, Zang Ba and Sun Guan's Langya Defensive Legion, and Chen Deng's Guangling Defensive Legion were plundering the population everywhere.

Huan Wen and Zu Ti were helpless in the face of the elite army that was watching them outside the city, and before their lord returned.

A fourteen-year-old boy came to the city wall of Shu County.

When Zu Ti saw the young man coming, he said: "Gong Jin, the lord values you, and when I want to stay in Lujiang, I must protect your safety." Xuzhou Mu's army may attack the city at any time, and you must not come to the city wall. ”

Zhou Gongjin pointed to Chutian's camp: "General Zu, the Xuzhou army will not attack the city, otherwise it would not have set up camp like this." They also did not make siege engines. ”

"I didn't expect you to have such insight at such a young age."

Huan Wen looked sideways at Zhou Gong.

Zhou Yu was originally a disciple of the Zhou family in Shu County, Lujiang County, and was valued by the Lujiang Taishou Tongque, and Zu Ti was responsible for taking care of Zhou Yu, and when Zhou Yu grew up, he was immediately promoted and appointed.

The Bronze Sparrow's approach was exactly the same as Chu Tian's. Chu Tian is cultivating Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang, Tongque is cultivating Zhou Yu, and the lord of Longxi is cultivating Ma Chao......

"Xuzhou Mu has become our enemy, and his legion is like a wolf and a tiger. If you can defeat him in the future, you will be famous all over the world. ”

Huan Wen said to the young Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu looked at Chu Tian's camp in a daze: "Is Xuzhou Mu an enemy......

Zu Ti said: "After our lord occupies Jiangdong and Jingzhou, he will definitely attack Huainan and enter the Central Plains, and a war with Xuzhou Mu is inevitable. ”

Chu Tian was stationed outside Shu County, and suddenly there was a chill.

"Why do you seem to be being targeted by someone......"

Chu Tian looked at Shu County.

If it weren't for the Beifu army returning to the division, Chu Tian would not have much time to attack Lujiang, otherwise Chu Tian would really have captured this city.

There are a lot of talents in Lujiang. But after the looting of the copper sparrow of Lujiang Taishou, it is estimated that there are not many generals in the field.

"Mi Fang grabbed 9,000 households."

"Chen Deng plundered 8,000 households."

"Zang overhauled 6,000 households."

"The people's morale in Lujiang County is relatively high, and civilians everywhere know that the army is coming, so they either hold on or hide in the mountains and forests to avoid plunder."

The three-way soldiers and horses sent out by Chutian only looted 23,000 households.

After all, Lujiang County is the basis of Lujiang Taishou's painstaking management.

"Chen Qingzhi, Xue Li, and Zhao Yun led the cavalry to attack Anhui County!"

Chu Tian received another report from the White-robed Army Legion.

The white-robed legions gave up plundering the population from village to village and attacked an important city!

"Chen Qingzhi, they are really bold."

Chu Tian was secretly surprised in his heart, but he did not recall Chen Qingzhi and the others. Since Chen Qingzhi went to attack Anhui County, he must have his considerations.

"The cavalry of Xuzhou!"

In Anhui City, the cavalry of the white-robed army attacked the city, Xue Rengui held the Fang Tian painting halberd, majestic, and the defenders surrendered to the wind.

In the fifth year of the lord's calendar, Lujiang County was sacked by the Xuzhou Mu army, and the city of Anhui was unprepared, and was broken by Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun. A large number of people in Anhui fled the city, and about 30,000 families were driven to Hefei by the white-robed army, including the Qiao Gong family in the area of Wancheng.
