Knock knock!

The war drums are like thunder, and the phalanxes are lined up outside the city of Xiacheng, and the battle flags of the summer city are ringing loudly, and the elite soldiers are wearing strong and sharp.

In March, the ice and snow of Langya Kingdom had melted, and the Yihe River entered the small flood season, and the time for the crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army had come with the princes of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Dongjun, Chenliu, Jibei, and Beihai!

The lineup of this crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is even more exaggerated than the imperial lineup of the crusade against the Xiliang rebels.

The crusade army has 270,000 soldiers and horses, known as a million Han army, and attacks the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army from the east and west!

Qingzhou has become a hunting ground for princes and the Yellow Turban Army!

Xue Rengui followed behind Chu Tian and inspected the Xia Cheng army, the only generals currently stationed in Xia Cheng were Li Guang, Xu Sheng, and Xue Rengui, and the cavalry commander Hua Mulan had been sent by Chu Tian to the north of Langya to block Wu Sangui, who had entered the Kou.

The army in front of Chutian had 14,000 men. The troops that crusaded against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army were not only the 14,000 people in front of them, but also the troops led by Zhou Yafu, Xueyue, Zang Ba and others, who would then join Chutian in Juxian and go north together.

Fang Xuanling wore a cloak and rode a high-quality Turkic war horse.

If other players knew that Chu Tian had given a diamond-level war horse to a civilian official with no force, he would definitely be so angry that he couldn't sleep.

But in Chu Tian's opinion, equipping Fang Xuanling with a good war horse is worth it, at least Fang Xuanling can flee for his life as soon as he is defeated, and the probability of being captured is reduced.

Xia Liang and Li Kui came out with hundreds of officials in Xia Cheng to send them off: "Dolgon and Wu Sangui are not easy to deal with, there are hundreds of thousands, millions of Yellow Turban troops behind them, you must be careful." ”

"If you don't exterminate the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army now, once they are allowed to establish a feudal kingdom that divides a state, the entire Eastern Han District may be swept away by them with crowd tactics."

Chu Tian knew how terrifying the crowd tactics were. Quantitative change will lead to qualitative change, and famous players may not be able to make up for the gap in numbers.

"Where is the 50,000 army of Cao Bao and Mi Fang now?"

"I've arrived in Tancheng."

"Prepare Cao Bao and Mi Fang from attacking Xia City and Langya City."

Chu Tian had to be careful with his allies. The heart of defense is indispensable.

"Rest assured. They need a lot of food to go to Qingzhou, and they need to pass through our territory on the way, so we can take the opportunity to sell military rations to them at a high price, and then buy grain from Taishan County at a low price. You can also make a small profit from Tao Qian. ”

"You......"

Chu Tian was used to it, and it seemed that there were business opportunities everywhere for her.

At least Chutian doesn't have to worry about logistics.

Chu Tian has an achievement of "crusading against the Yellow Turbans", which may be completed on the way to this crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

Fourteen thousand people traveled north along the Yi River, from Xiacheng to Juxian, and then crossed Zhucheng, which was the territory of Beihai State.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is confronting Hua Mulan and Zhuxian County Orders in Zhucheng. Because of Mulan's cavalry invasion, Wu Sangui was unable to capture the counties with all his strength, and the counties were still holding on.

In Tan County, south of Xia City, Cao Bao and Mi Fang led 50,000 Xuzhou troops, and the march was quite slow. The commander-in-chief of the two of them is not high, and commanding 50,000 soldiers and horses is already quite difficult for them, and they can't even bring the bonus of the main general and deputy general to all the Xuzhou soldiers.

After the Taishan thieves were subdued by Chutian, Cao Bao and Mi Fang were already the best generals under Tao Qian.

"I didn't expect that my Mi Fang would also have the day to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!"

Mi Fang is ambitious, he once told Chu Tian that he has the dream of becoming a general, and now he finally has the opportunity to show his skills. For a time, Top Gun.

Although Cao Bao personally commanded more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and only distributed more than 10,000 to Mi Fang, Mi Fang was a little dissatisfied, but this was already the most soldiers and horses he had commanded.

Chen Liujun, Taishou Zhang Miao recruited 15,000 troops, and responded to the order of Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, to go to crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

A burly-looking and powerful fierce general held a double halberd and followed behind Zhang Miao. At the suggestion of his Inhuman disciple, he worshipped this sergeant named Dian Wei as his guard.

Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao was ready to go, and Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals gathered under Cao Cao's command in advance, and Cao Cao's power had been formed.

Although Cao Cao had not yet fully entered the state of being a hero at this time, he still had a little hope for the Eastern Han court, but under the influence of the strangers who followed him, he embarked on the road of separating one side in advance.

The players who followed Cao Cao did not let him support the Han family, this group of players wanted to become the founding heroes of the country and occupy a high position.

The Yiren staff suggested: "If the lord surrenders to the million Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, gets 300,000 of its elite people, and implements the army to farm, then there will be no worries about food in the next ten years." ”

Cao Cao was moved when he heard this: "This is reasonable. Do you think that the Han family can still be prosperous? ”

The strangers shook their heads: "It's difficult." ”

Cao Cao fell silent after hearing this.

Under the leadership of Cao Cao, the 30,000 Dongjun Han army joined Zhang Miao with Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, and Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai in Jibei Kingdom, preparing to attack Jinan State and eliminate the Yellow Turban Army in Jinan State.

Cao Cao and Zhang Miao met and found that there was a fierce general behind Zhang Miao, whose bravery was above the Xiahou brothers, and he couldn't help blurting out: "What a strong man!" ”

Zhang Miao said: "It's just an ordinary sergeant in the army. ”

Cao Cao disagreed, he had an inexplicable sense of closeness to Dian Wei: "This crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, this person is a tiger general in the world, and he will definitely be able to make great contributions." ”

Dian Wei was praised by Cao Cao and also had a good impression of Cao Cao.

The players who took refuge in Cao Cao knew that Dian Wei and Cao Cao were compatible, and they immediately moved their minds.

If Dian Wei could be recruited from Zhang Miao, Cao Cao's power would be even stronger.

"Find a way to kill Zhang Miao."

"Try to sow discord between Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, and it is best to force Cao Cao to annex Zhang Miao's forces and unify Dongjun and Chenliu County, then the world will not be able to compete with us."

"Yes, using Cao Cao to unify the Eastern Han Region was originally the fastest way, and Cao Cao would not be soft at all when dealing with other civilized regions."

Cao Cao's players are already trying their best to help Cao Cao obtain his generals.

This crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is the best opportunity for Cao Cao to subdue Dian Wei.

Although the princes and lords of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou formed an alliance to deal with a common enemy, they guarded and calculated each other internally.

Even Cao Cao, who attached great importance to the alliance army, was sold by the players under his command. Cao Cao was not enough to murder his friend Zhang Miao to obtain Dian Wei, but the players under his command were already plotting to murder Zhang Miao for his sake and get Dian Wei's allegiance.

The Yanzhou army is intrigued, and there is also a gap between the Xuzhou army.

Chu Tian and Tao Qian have contradictions, but they are not obvious. Tao Qian's army was divided into two factions, the family represented by Cao Bao and supported Tao Qian, and the family represented by Mi Fang who intended to support Chutian.

In other words, Chu Tian and Mi Fang couldn't wait to see Cao Bao go to give the head of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

Zhao Gongzi of the Qingzhou Coalition Army supports Kong Rong, but it does not mean that Zhao Gongzi and Kong Rong have no contradictions, Kong Rong has the fierce general Tai Shici under the command of Zhao Gongzi who wants to get very much.

Despite all the contradictions within the 270,000 coalition army, they still entered the Qingzhou territory one after another and began to fight against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

"Leader, the main force of the Langya army is already approaching, and the vanguard is only less than thirty miles away from Zhucheng!"

Wu Sangui, who was stationed in the northern cities of Langya Kingdom, received a report from the scouts of the Yellow Turban cavalry.

"Pull out the camp and withdraw to the North Sea Country."

Wu Sangui clenched his fists, and he was annoyed by a military general named Hua Mulan in Langya Kingdom.

He began to invade the Langya Kingdom in the south in February and besieged Zhucheng, but Hua Mulan led 4,000 light cavalry and forcibly marched 1,200 li in eight days and appeared on the outskirts of Zhucheng, forcing Wu Sangui to attack Zhucheng with all his strength.

Chutian set up two lines of defense, but none of them were used, because Hua Mulan delayed Wu Sangui in the counties north of Ju County, so that Wu Sangui could not enter Kou Chutian's sphere of influence.

During the month-long confrontation, Mulan used the reconnaissance ability of the war eagle and the high-speed mobility of the light cavalry to continuously attack Wu Sangui, who was besieging the city, and Wu Sangui was overwhelmed and lost 2,000 people.

Now that the reinforcements of Chutian, Cao Bao, and Mi Fang are coming, if Wu Sangui does not relieve the siege, then he will be surrounded by the Xuzhou army.

"Lord County Commander, the Yellow Turban Army has withdrawn!"

"Hooray!"

The defenders, players, and villagers of the counties surrounded by Wu Sangui rejoiced, and they held out for more than a month under the offensive of Wu Sangui's 50,000 Yellow Turban Army, and they were never broken through the county seat by Wu Sangui.

Some players sit right on the walls, and for them this month feels like living in hell.

Like a swarm of locusts, the Yellow Turbans attacked the city at any cost, and the defenders and villagers in the city lost 2,000 people in the battle.

After Wu Sangui retreated, Mulan led the cavalry into the city to replenish supplies.

The county commander thanked Mulan with a handful of snot and tears: "Thanks to the Minister of State for sending reinforcements to support, otherwise the counties would not be able to hold it anyway." From now on, the counties are willing to be managed by the Prime Minister. ”

The defenders of the counties did not object to the decision of their county order for the rest of their lives.

If it weren't for the four thousand light cavalry sent by Chutian to attack Wu Sangui, with Wu Sangui's tough attitude, the counties would not have been able to hold out for nearly two months anyway.

As a result, Zhuxian became the eighth county to be incorporated into the Xia Cheng forces after Xihai County.

Of the thirteen counties in Langya State, eight counties have been controlled by Chutian.

Hua Mulan accepted the surrender of the Han army in Zhuxian with a clear conscience.

Many counties in the Eastern Han Dynasty were captured and occupied by the player lords, but a considerable number of counties were in the hands of local officials, and the county orders of the counties were NPC officials appointed by the Han court.

A day later, Chutian's army arrived in Zhuxian one after another and joined Mulan.

At the same time, there were 8,000 people from Zhou Yafu, 5,000 from Zang Ba, 5,000 from Xueyue, plus 4,000 cavalry from Mulan, and 14,000 people from Chutian, a total of 36,000 people.

After the arrival of Chutian, he pacified the county commanders and the Han army of the counties. There were originally 5,000 regular Han troops in Zhuxian, but after Wu Sangui's attack, this Han army basically lost its combat effectiveness, and Chutian did not expect them to attack Qingzhou, so he ordered them to continue to defend Zhuxian and ensure logistics.

"Xueyue, you lead your 5,000 people to ensure the supply line."

Chu Tian had detailed considerations.

This crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is an expedition, and it takes half a month to travel from Xiacheng to Beihai Kingdom, and it will take half a month to enter Beihai Country and reach Jimo, which is occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. This is still on the premise that the road is unimpeded.

If the Yellow Turban Army held the city, Chu Tian's march would be even slower.

Chu Tian liked to sneak attack and cut off the enemy's food routes, and Dolgon also liked such tactics, so Chu Tian had to ensure the safety of the supply line.

So he left Xueyue, Sun Kang, and Wu Dun behind, and Chutian advanced in front, and they divided their troops to occupy dangerous places and transport grain.

Fang Xuanling's strategic plan for Chutian was to fight steadily and steadily, recovering the cities occupied by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army one by one, converging with the Qingzhou Army of Qingzhou Lord Zhao Gongzi and the Qingzhou Army of Beihai Xiangkongrong, and compressing the activity space of the Yellow Turban Army. In the end, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was forced to fight a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers, and the victory was decided in a battle.

Chutian's army waited in Zhuxian for seven days, and the 50,000 Xuzhou troops led by Cao Bao and Mi Fang arrived belatedly and joined Chutian's more than 30,000 people in Zhuxian.

"They're too slow."

Zhou Yafu, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help but complain.

Chu Tian could still accept it.

Cao Bao and Mi Fang are not commanders of the same level as Zhou Yafu, and they are even several levels behind, so they can't ask for more.

"Brother Chu!"

Mi Fang now holds more than 10,000 Xuzhou troops, and is worshiped by Tao Qian as a captain, and he is full of spirit, he finally used the influence of his brother Mi Zhu to make a name for himself.

"Brother Mi worships Duwei, and hopes to work together to help the Han family."

Chu Tian looked at the more than 10,000 Xuzhou troops brought by Mi Fang, mainly low-level troops, with a team of more than 1,000 cavalry and a team of several hundred heavy infantry.

Cao Bao was not very polite to Chutian, and at this time, seeing that Chutian and Mi Fang had a close relationship, he secretly guarded in his heart: "You attack Dongwu and Gaomi County, and we will attack Anqiu and Chang'an County, and merge with Beihai Xiangkong." ”

Regarding Cao Bao's order, Chu Tian didn't want to disobey: "Yes." ”

Cao Bao's plan was to divide the troops into two routes, Chu Tian followed the official road in the northeast direction, and Cao Bao marched along the official road in the northwest direction.

Chu Tian and Cao Bao's combined forces exceeded 80,000, and if they advanced along the same official road, the road would be blocked, which would be disadvantageous.

Cao Bao planned to fuse troops with Zhao Gongzi and Kong to unite the spheres of influence controlled by the Beihai State, and Chutian was regarded by him as a partial division to attract the Yellow Turban Army in Jimo and Donglai County.

Cao Bao more or less had the intention of letting Chutian be besieged by the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

Chu Tian was aware of this, but he would not easily step into the encirclement of the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

With Mulan's war eagle to assist in the reconnaissance, it is difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to ambush him.

Mi Fang, the only one who didn't see Cao Bao's thoughts, said to Chu Tian regretfully: "I still want to fight side by side with you, Brother Chu." ”

Chu Tian said to Mi Fang: "There will definitely be a chance." The Yellow Turban Army is cunning, on the way to attack Anqiu County, remember to send more scouts and be careful in ambush. ”

Mi Fang said confidently: "Don't worry, I will never be ambushed." ”

Chutian, Cao Bao and Mi Fang parted ways in Zhuxian County, and the troops were divided into two ways to recover the cities of Beihai Kingdom.

Chu Tian said to himself: "This group of allies, except for Cao Cao and Zhao Gongzi, is really uneasy. ”
