Chapter 243: The Different Fates of Cao Cao and Chu Tian
"Kill!"
In the Puyang area, Cao Cao's army fell into a bitter battle, and there were soldiers of the Yanzhou coalition army everywhere, and the Yanzhou soldiers who were stubborn and stubborn attacked Cao Cao's army.
There is a team of heavily armored soldiers in the front to charge, wearing three armors, wielding a crossbow of twelve stones, carrying fifty arrows, crowns and swords, which are unstoppable in Cao Cao's phalanx!
Cao Hong's infantry phalanx was attacked by Pang Juan, destroyed like a withering and decaying, and they were all routed backwards.
Wei general Pang Juan personally held a sword to suppress the formation, and a thousand Wei soldiers were invincible!
Wei Wushu, a high-ranking heavy infantryman. Like the heavy cavalry, it is a weapon that determines the outcome of the war!
In order to stabilize the phalanx, Cao Hong led his troops to try to block Wei Wushu.
"All soldiers, no retreat!"
Cao Hong gritted his teeth and faced an unprecedented strong enemy, so he could only fight to the death.
If the phalanx on his side is defeated, Cao Cao's army may lose the fateful battle!
Cao Cao stood on the high ground to command the army, but as a hero, he was intently scanning the battlefield at this time, looking for the flaws of the other party. His palms were sweaty, for he had never fought such a terrible battle.
The Three-Way Army marched to Puyang, Dongjun, and flanked Cao Cao, who was in a worse situation than the Battle of Xuzhou in Chutian.
According to the march route of the Cao coalition army, Cao Cao decided to divide his troops to contain the forces of Baima and Chen Liu, and first break the main force led by Gongzi Wen.
However, Gongziwen has the famous general Pang Juan under his command, as well as the feared Wei Wushu.
Although not the most prestigious Wei Wushu commander Wu Qi, Wei Wushu also exerted strong combat effectiveness under Pang Juan, and it was easy to destroy Cao Hong's camp.
Wei Wu, who had three layers of iron armor, died in Cao Hong's army, which was comparable to a torrent of steel!
"Chu Zimou, I was really miserable by you this time......"
Cao Cao muttered to himself, because Chutian inadvertently proposed an anti-Cao Cao alliance, and as a result, Yanzhou really set off a wave of attacks on Cao Cao.
The Yanzhou coalition army is a little worse than the Xuzhou coalition army, and the famous general Pang Juan is not as good as the famous general Le Yi, but Pang Juan recruited a thousand Wei Wushu, and with a thousand Wei Wushu as a breakthrough point, he broke Cao Hong!
A group of players who supported Cao Cao followed Cao Cao, sweating profusely, and they were even more anxious than Cao Cao.
It was not easy to manage to make Cao Cao rise, but he didn't even become the Yanzhou pastor, and he was about to be defeated by the Yanzhou coalition army?
"I heard that Chu Zimou was almost destroyed by the Xuzhou coalition army, and I laughed at him for his incompetence, and as a result, our situation was even worse......"
"Chu Zimou's opponent is Le Yi, and he can turn the tables, which is already very powerful."
"The big lords of a state really want to join forces, and the troops and resources mobilized are not comparable to those of a county."
Cao Cao's lords fell into despair.
They thought that the Yanzhou coalition army was a rabble, but it turned out that as long as the other side had a few good generals and tacitly cooperated with each other, they would be the army of tigers and wolves!
At least Cao Cao's side was completely overwhelmed by the opponent's crowd tactics.
On the opposite side was 180,000 people, while Cao Cao had only 50,000 men on this battlefield.
In addition to Pang Juan, there are several historical generals on the other side.
Cao Cao's legions were crumbling.
"If you think that you will defeat me Cao Mengde like this, then you are very wrong!"
"Chu Zimou, you also underestimate me Cao Mengde, only if you come in person, you are qualified to be my opponent Cao Mengde!"
Cao Cao looked at the eroded battlefield and sent a small team of cavalry to report the ambush behind the earthen dam in the distance!
Behind the earthen dam was hidden a cavalry of three hundred men.
Although there are only three hundred people, these three hundred people are the elite cavalry recruited by Cao Cao with all his money, and they have powerful destructive power!
"Tiger and leopard ride, follow me to fight and kill the enemy!"
Cao Chun waved his spear and received Cao Cao's order to lead three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry to appear from behind the earthen dam.
The three hundred tigers and leopards first trotted, then began to accelerate, and the horses' hooves flew! The tiger and leopard rider in the big armored vest galloped with all his might, and the ground trembled!
The Yanzhou coalition army was horrified to find a heavy cavalry army behind them, and they were shocked!
The young and vigorous Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry on a rampage, tearing apart the thousands of Yanzhou infantry in the rear who had no time to react, and directly killed the position of Pang Juan's general flag!
Iron hooves trample on the weak light infantry, and the tiger and leopard riders erupt with terrifying destructive power!
"All-out counterattack!"
Cao Cao made people beat drums, blessed the generals with the aura of the whole army, and carried out a Jedi counterattack! Cao Cao's army reinvigorated its army, and the two sides were tugging at each other in the Puyang area, and corpses were everywhere!
Even the Yiren who supported Cao Cao didn't know that Cao Cao still had a 300-person tiger and leopard cavalry under his command, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed in the face of the changed situation.
"When did Cao Cao secretly recruit three hundred tigers and leopards? I don't even know about it. ”
"It's probably because Cao Cao doesn't trust us anymore and is worried that we will leak the news, so he deliberately hid his hand."
"Worthy of the hero, this time we may be able to win!"
"The situation is not clear yet......"
The tiger and leopard cavalry was thrown into the battlefield, and the morale of Cao Cao's army was boosted.
However, Cao Cao's army and the Yanzhou coalition army were still locked in a stalemate and melee.
In order to exert their own impact power as much as possible, the tiger and leopard cavalry did not deliberately engage Wei Wushu, but destroyed the formation of the Yanzhou coalition army by defeating ordinary light infantry.
The Yanzhou coalition army suffered heavy casualties, and Cao Cao's army was no better.
The tiger and leopard rode like an iron plough swept by, and the Yanzhou coalition army suffered a large number of casualties. Dense infantry and crossbowmen pressed on all sides, and the tiger and leopard cavalry, even high-ranking cavalry, were devoured by the enemy one by one.
The number of the other party was too much, and the three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry still seemed weak in the face of the mighty Yanzhou coalition army.
"Are you still powerless? If I had a thousand tigers and leopards to ride, I wouldn't have been able to defeat ......."
Cao Cao saw that Cao Chun's tiger and leopard ride had decreased in speed after his might, and his eyes were a little gloomy.
He and Chu Tian suffered a very similar fate, that is, insufficient troops. In the face of the opponent's crowd tactics commanded by famous generals, Cao Cao's troops became less and less.
"Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin came to support!"
When Cao Cao fell into despair and drew his long sword and prepared to go into battle in person, Bao Xin and Yu Ban led Jibei reinforcements to join the battlefield and turn the tide of the battle!
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
Cao Cao saw Yu Ban's infantry crushing the opponent's flank, and he suddenly became interested in Ban: "The general who commands that army will definitely help me Cao Mengde to achieve great things!" ”
Gongziwen changed color slightly because Yu Ban joined the battlefield, and he had already sent a team of soldiers and horses to intercept Yu Ban, but he didn't expect to be broken through. He underestimated Yu Ban, who was one of the five good generals.
Cao Cao's army received reinforcements and continued to fight fiercely against Gongziwen's army.
The two sides have been fighting for a long time, and they have never been able to distinguish the winner from the loser.
In addition to Pang Juan, Gongziwen's Yanzhou coalition army also had other famous generals, and they joined forces to put pressure on Cao Cao's army with superior forces.
The two sides retreated separately and engaged in a standoff.
Cao Cao also intersected with Yu Ban.
Xuzhou, Xiapi City, just when Cao Cao was anxious to deal with enemy troops from all walks of life, Chutian was very comfortable.
He had already sent Zhou Yafu, Xue Rengui, and Li Guang to lead 5,000 Langya soldiers and 30,000 Xuzhou soldiers to attack Pengchengguo.
The lord of Peng Chengguo was exhausted because of his participation in the coalition army, and Chu Tian thought that the mixed army of 35,000 people was enough to sweep Peng Chengguo, and he did not need to go out in person.
If Zhou Yafu and they can't defeat them, Chu Tian will replenish their troops in the rear, and they can also bulldoze Peng Chengguo with their strength advantage.
Chu Tian finally experienced the benefits of the superiority in troops.
Organize a steady stream of troops and food to be transported to the famous generals on the front line, and those famous generals will capture one city after another for you.
"The Yanzhou coalition army and Cao Cao are not divided into winners and losers, Cao Cao has to divide his troops to deal with it, and he has not yet broken the situation."
Chutian received information on the Yanzhou battlefield.
Cao Cao was miserable by Chu Tiankeng this time, facing 300,000 soldiers and horses, or an offensive in three directions.
It would be good if Cao Cao could concentrate his troops, but at this time, the disadvantage of troops would be even more obvious.
"I'm sorry, I'll farm slowly, Brother Mengde, you can break the game. When you break the game, I'll clean you up. ”
After Chu Tian sent his legions to attack Pengchengguo, he concentrated on rectifying internal affairs.
As long as Xuzhou is managed well, Chutian can harvest a large amount of money and grain every year, which can be used to recruit troops and buy horses, and then use soldiers and horses to conquer more vast lands and continue to farm, forming a virtuous circle.
Chutian summoned all the Wenchen and Taishou to determine the development plan of Xuzhou for the next three years.
Xuzhou has plains, hills, oceans, rivers and other terrains, and the direction of development is also diverse, not just farming.
At present, Chutian controls three teleportation arrays, Langya City, Tancheng City, and Xiapi City.
Each important Wenchen can immediately reach Xiapi City through the teleportation array. The cost of urgently summoning Wenchen from all over the country to come to Xiapi City is still acceptable to Chutian.
The cost of time is also a cost.
Li Kui came directly from Langya to Xiapi City.
Xia Picheng County Ya, full of talents, Fang Xuanling, Li Kui, Xia Liang three veterans of Langya State, Mi Zhu, Chen Qi, Chen Deng, and Tao Qian's other driver engaged in Zhao Yu, a celebrity.
Chu Tian had already tried his best to win over the capable people under Tao Qian's command.
Tao Qian actually has a lot of internal affairs talents, but Tao Qian is not good at using them, but he likes to use Cao Bao, Zhen Rong and others.
Li Kui brought two people from the prison in Xiacheng, one was Dong Zhuo's subordinate Xu Rong, and the other was Wang Lang.
Wang Lang knew in the prison of Xia Cheng that the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian had died of illness, and after a day of silence, he took the initiative to surrender.
Tao Qian died of illness instead of being killed by Chutian, but this slight difference caused the celebrities and families in Xuzhou to have different opinions. They can convince themselves to work for the new Xuzhou pastor.
Wang Lang is no exception.
Wang Lang is also a qualified internal affairs talent, so Chu Tian ordered Li Kui to bring Wang Lang.
"Wang Situ ......"
When Chu Tian saw Wang Lang, he couldn't help blurting out, which surprised everyone.
The current Wang Lang is not old, and he is not Wang Situ.
Even if Wang Lang was called Chu Tian like this, he was confused.
"Wang Jingxing, please take a seat."
Chu Tian hid his embarrassment.
Only Xia Liang, who is also a player, almost laughed out loud, and couldn't help but purse his lips and force a smile. She knew why Chutian directly called Wang Lang Wang Situ.
Prime Minister Zhuge angrily reprimanded Wang Situ, and I am afraid that no one knows the episodes in the romance.
Chu Tian glared at her, and Xia Liang was sitting in danger.
Chu Tian returned his attention to Wang Lang, and he could now see Wang Lang's attributes.
[Name]: Wang Lang (word Jingxing)
[Talent]: Diamond-level Wenchen
[Commander]: 55 [Force]: 35 [Intelligence]: 79 [Politics]: 81 [Charisma]: 75
[Phase]: Calm
[Characteristic 1]: Prison management (A-level characteristic, when trying cases, the efficiency and accuracy of case judgment are improved, and public security and public sentiment are improved)
[Trait 2]: Fame (B-level trait, increase the attraction of families and special talents, and increase the popularity of the people)
Chu Tian didn't expect Wang Lang's ability to be quite good.
Thinking about it carefully, Wang Lang can become Cao Wei Situ, and he can't say it without any ability.
Chutian recruited Wang Lang mainly for the sake of his grandson, and maybe he could let his grandson marry Wang Yuanji in the future, who was a generation of virtuous queens.
"I wonder if the jailer treated Wang Jingxing badly in prison? If so, I will punish them heavily. ”
"No, I didn't. The jailer took care of everything, and everything was fine. ”
Wang Lang didn't know that Chu Tian was beating his unborn Sun Queen Yuanji, and couldn't help but wonder why Chu Tian treated him well.
"That's fine. I have summoned you here today for the sake of the future of Xuzhou. Xuzhou people are outstanding, everyone here is a genius of the world, should better govern Xuzhou, so that Xuzhou becomes a rich place. ”
Xuzhou is at your fingertips, there are only two counties left, Zhou Yafu, Xue Rengui, and Li Guang are crusading against Pengchengguo, and it is only a matter of time before they occupy the entire territory of Pengchengguo.
Chutian had already begun to build Xuzhou, using Xuzhou as a base to build and raise 100,000 main army corps, not including the defensive forces of various counties.
"Governance, farmland, roads, trade, workshops, and the military, Xuzhou all need to be reorganized."
Since Chutian regards Xuzhou as a basic plate, he must manage it according to his own will.
Now the resistance to change is not great, because Chutian defeated the Xuzhou coalition army twice, and his prestige is unprecedented, and he can force some families to make compromises by virtue of his military exploits.
If we do not take advantage of the rare opportunity to define the framework, it will be difficult to change it after everyone gets used to the existing system.
Mi Zhu, Chen Qi, Chen Deng and others couldn't help but be moved, it seemed that Chu Tian was determined to initiate change. They don't know if their interests will be harmed.
"First of all, the rule of officials. In addition to the number of officials I had previously appointed, the Supervision Department was formally established and expanded from 30 to 150 people, of whom 120 belonged to the North Division and 30 to the Southern Division. The North Division will go down to the counties and counties from time to time to inspect, and once it is found that there is corruption or mutiny, it has the right to take them into custody. The Southern Division is responsible for monitoring the Northern Division and preventing abuse of power by the Northern Division. ”
"The Inspectorate is directly accountable to me."
In order to strengthen the centralization of power, Chutian took the lead in establishing a supervision department for surprise inspections, which inspected various counties and counties in his place. After all, as a state pastor, Chu Tian has every opportunity, and it is impossible for him to personally inspect every county and county.
The Inspectorate is his eyes.
Originally, Xia Liang was the supervision history of Langya Kingdom, but now he has been deprived of power by Chutian.
She did not express any objections, because the duties she now held were heavy enough to take care of the affairs of supervising hundreds of officials.
Chu Tian was also able to reclaim the power he had handed over when he was short of manpower.
