"Xu Rong and Xiahou Yuan are in ambush, and more than a thousand cavalry are lost!"

After Le Yi's army captured Licheng, they rested in Licheng, and Yu Banzhu was defeated by Sun Bin and joined Le Yi. The Shensu Legion, which went to cut off the grain route of the Tianji Legion, was frustrated because it was ambushed by Sun Bin and returned.

Le Yi and Le attacked Balika City and won a complete victory, Yu Ban and others wanted to make war exploits, but they were taught a lesson by Sun Bin, with thousands of casualties and disgrace.

The generals thought that the attack on Jinan was a good opportunity to make war achievements and vote for their reputations, and they should have been devastated, but they did not expect that the difficulty of pacifying Jinan would increase dramatically.

"Wait for the lord to come, and then attack Dongpingling."

Le Yi was the commander of the attack on Jinan, considering that Sun Bin was in the active position, the morale of the soldiers had decreased, and Le Yi decided to wait for Chutian to conquer in person. The lord is personally in charge, which is conducive to raising morale.

Chu Tian led the Guards Corps to Licheng, and received a report from the cavalry on the way, and the generals of the forbidden areas covered Le Yi to take the city, but Sun Bin was defeated.

"It is worthy of being Guiguzi's proud protégé, Yu Ban, Xu Rong, Yang Ye and others all suffered under him."

Chu Tian suspected that Sun Bin's intelligence had reached 98 or 99, after all, this was a game, and Sun Bin's ability to play was stronger. At the same time, Sun Bin has the treasure "Sun Bin Art of War", which can provide a certain bonus for the legion.

Compared with the battle of the Great Army in Youzhou, which suffered 100,000 casualties at every turn, the scale of the battle in Jinan was much smaller. However, there are still many people staring at the battlefield of Jinan. The news of the setback of Xuzhoumu's army in Jinan spread, and the strangers and civilians in Xuzhou were in an uproar.

Xuzhou Mu rarely suffers a loss, and he killed Cao Cao in one go, Tian Qi, as an inconspicuous Qingzhou prince, did not expect to make Xuzhou Mu suffer.

Chu Tian didn't think so, Yu Ban Zhu generals were generals, their legions were not yet full, and they lacked elites, plus Sun Bin was already the most intelligent opponent Chu Tian had faced so far, it was normal for them to hit a wall in front of Sun Bin.

"The lord is here!"

The generals entrenched in Licheng knew that Chu Tian was personally conscripted, and they all came to greet him.

Saint Joan of Arc, Hua Mulan, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Mi Fang and other generals rode war horses, and behind them were the tiger and wolf division of the Guards Legion.

Unlike other legions, which only have a few elites, the Guards Legion has the most high-level troops and the strongest combat effectiveness!

"The last general has lost two consecutive battles, please punish the lord!"

Yu Ban knelt down, and was defeated by Sun Bin twice in a row, he was ashamed.

Chu Tian valued him, which made him the commander of the Qingzhou Legion, but his performance in front of Sun Bin did not seem to match the identity of the legion commander.

Chu Tian glanced at Yu Ban's panel.

[Name]: Yu Ban

[Rank]: King-level commander

[Commander]: 90 [Force]: 77 [Intelligence]: 72 [Politics]: 57 [Charisma]: 56

[Phase]: Calm

[Trait 1]: Perseverance (S-level trait, strict army, formation maintenance +20%, troop attack and defense +7%, but soldier satisfaction decreases)

[Trait 2]: Blade (Rank A trait, +10% ATK when in the vanguard)

[Trait 3]: Backward Rejection (A-level trait, when serving as a rear army, the defense of the unit is +10%)

[Special Class]: Qingzhou Soldier (Fourth-Order Light Infantry, up to 40,000)

Yu Ban's panel is okay, and there are Qingzhou soldiers who are suitable for the establishment of a legion, so Chu Tian let Yu Ban serve as the commander of the legion. The five sons have their own abilities, if it weren't for Guan Yu and the flood, Yu Ban would not have been ruined, and the evening would not be guaranteed.

In view of the extremely low probability of encountering famous generals and floods at the same time, coupled with the fact that Yu Ban's Qingzhou Legion served as the vanguard or a rear rejection force and did not serve as the main force, Chu Tian was not very worried about Yu Ban's problem.

In this battle of Jinan, not only did a general be frustrated, but also the Iron Wall Legion, the Invincible Legion, and the Shensu Legion were repulsed. The generals were listless.

Speaking of which, Yu Ban is also an unlucky bastard, and he has not had any achievements so far. He originally only had a Qingzhou army of more than 10,000 people, and after two battles, only 6,000 were left and still had combat effectiveness.

"Sun Bin is good at military strategy, not a crime of war. General Le Yi, have you fought against Sun Bin? ”

Chutian believes that if Le Yi plays, he will not let Sun Bin take advantage of it.

Le Yi shook his head: "We haven't fought yet." ”

"Then you can fight. Yu Ban, you continue to be a pioneer. ”

"The last general?"

Yu Ban thought that Chu Tian would remove him from the position of army commander, but he didn't expect Chu Tian to still make him a pioneer.

If he loses again, then he loses three times in three battles.

"Fang Xuanling serves as your military advisor."

Chutian pushed Fang Xuanling to Yu Ban, and with Fang Xuanling here, the possibility of Yu Xuanling being in the ban will be greatly reduced.

Fang Xuanling was pitted by Chu Tian, so he had to be forced to serve as the military advisor of the Qingzhou Legion.

There is a tacit understanding between Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling, and Chu Tian wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get into a relationship with Xun You. Xun You is more low-key than Fang Xuanling, and he is also a relatively easy person to get along with.

"Tian Qi's army in Jinan is about 60,000, and the defenders of Dongpingling are about 20,000. As long as we annihilate the legions of Sun Bin and others, Tian Qi will have no more reinforcements. ”

Chu Tian had a military advantage in the face of Sun Bin, and the number of high-level troops was even more.

"The Iron Eagle scouts scattered and tracked down the main forces of Tian Ji and Tian Dan's army. Tomorrow, the camp will be officially drawn and marched to Dongpingling. ”

There is a reconnaissance corps, and Sun Bin wants to carry out an ambush in the wild, and the success rate will be greatly reduced.

"At the same time, order Zhou Yafu's defensive army to besiege Linzi and contain Zhao Gongzi."

Chu Tian ordered Zhou Yafu to send troops from Beihai State.

If the establishment of the various legions is now full, it will be easier to attack the Jinan Congress.

"Is Sun Bin very powerful?"

Joan of Arc didn't know about Sun Bin as a person.

Chu Tian said indifferently: "A top strategist, if you lead your troops to fight him alone, most of you will become a prisoner. ”

Joan of Arc snorted, "I'm not so easily captured......

The next day, Chutian urged the Sixth Army to attack Dongpingling on a large scale!

With the arrival of Chutian, the morale of the six legions was greatly boosted.

Yu Ban, Li Dian, and Fang Xuanling led 6,000 foot soldiers as the vanguard, and the black war eagle soared in the air. The various cavalry legions echo each other from afar, and the Leyi Legion and the Guards Legion serve as the main force, mighty!

The Sixth Army, of which there are about 40,000 in the Le Yi Legion, about 30,000 in the Guards Legion, and about 50,000 in Yu Ban, Cao Ren, Yang Ye, and Xu Rong combined, which is equivalent to 60,000 people who dealt with Tian Ji, Sun Bin, and Tian Dan with a main force of 120,000.

In the face of the divine calculation Sun Bin, the tactic used by Chu Tian was very simple, one force to reduce ten meetings.

The two sides are competing not only in resourcefulness, but also in national strength. It is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, and Sun Bin can only use half of his troops to break Chutian's 120,000 main force.

In the past, Chutian was contained, and his local forces were often at a disadvantage, but this time he only used half of the main force, which was already twice as much as Sun Bin and the others.

It is rare to have a military advantage, and Chutian is more cautious, and he must use sufficient troops to fight steadily.

Dongpingling, although Tian Ji and Tian Dan won the battle with Yu Ban and others, they did not achieve the strategic purpose of rescuing Licheng and were forced to retreat. Le Yi's offensive was extremely fierce, and without qualified defenders, small and medium-sized cities would fall in less than three days.

"Military advisor, Xuzhou Mu has arrived, what should we do?"

Hearing that Xuzhou Mu personally supervised the army, Tian Ji, as the main general, was worried. He once fought with the Xuzhou Army in the Battle of Beihai Kingdom, when the Tianji Army suffered heavy losses, and when he heard about the Xuzhou Muqin Expedition, he was already a little afraid. He couldn't wait to ask Sun Bin for help.

Tian Dan left Linzi and came to Jinan to join Tian Ji and Sun Bin, although he was also a famous general, but in the face of the terrible Xuzhou Army, he was not caught: "Dongpingling has been in business for many years, and has experienced the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion, and there are still many city defense equipment in the warehouse. I will defend the fortified city, and even if the opponent's army of 100,000 comes to attack, I can hold it for at least three months. You can attack Licheng, besiege Wei to save Zhao, or attack its grain routes and force it to retreat. ”

Tian Ji believes that Tian Dan's tactics are feasible: "For today's plan, this is the only way." ”

Sun Bin didn't support: "No." The living city can be defended, but the dead city cannot be defended. General Tian Ji and I were less than 20% sure of repelling the Xuzhou Army. If we are defeated, the lord has no reinforcements, all the south of the Yellow River is lost, and General Tiandan defends the lonely city again, what is the point? It is better to prepare ships at the crossing of the Yellow River, and once the battle situation is unfavorable, lead the soldiers to the north, and still be able to retain part of the strength. ”

"Less than 20% sure?"

"Maybe less."

Tian Ji and Tian looked at each other with one face, and it was obvious that even Sun Bin lacked confidence in himself when his troops were only half of the opponent's strength and the number of high-level troops was far inferior to that of the other party.

Unless he can win skillfully in a decisive battle, Sun Bin alone cannot change the contrast between strength and weakness, not to mention that Chu Tian also has a group of strategists under his command, as well as a large number of generals.

Sun Bin had already left behind him, and after the defeat, he fled to the north of the Yellow River.

The next step is just to take the plunge.

Beihai Kingdom, Linzi, the princes Zhao Gongzi only have one county left, the Qi State. The State of Qi at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the State of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are two concepts. In fact, Zhao Gongzi's territory may only have a population of two or three million.

With this population, it is mostly unrealistic to fight with Xuzhou Mu, which has a population of thousands.

At present, there are only two generals left under Zhao Gongzi's command, Dolgon and Xue Wanche.

Tai Shici was captured by Chutian and became the general of Chutian's Tiger Ben Army, and Wu Sangui and Guan Hai were killed.

Dolgon, who served as Zhao Gongzi's general, realized that the crisis was coming. He can't fall into the hands of Xuzhou Mu, because Zhao Yun, the military general under Xuzhou Mu, has an enmity with him. If he was captured by Xuzhou Mu, he would die nine times for life.

Therefore, Dorgon was looking for a way out for himself.

Dolgon was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, except for Zhao Gongzi, there were not no other people who knew him. When the government suppressed the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, Dolgon commanded the Yellow Turban Army in Beihai and sent Ao Bai to Jinan to attack Cao Cao. After the defeat of Aobai, he fled to the north of the Yellow River and took refuge in Mingguan, while Dolgon was besieged in Jimo by Chutian and Zhao Gongzi. Dolgon and Wu Sangui were forced to surrender to Zhao Gongzi.

Now Mingguan sensed that Zhao Gongzi could no longer hold out in Qingzhou, so he sent Fan Wencheng, the Minister of the Interior, with a letter from Aobai, to try to recruit Dolgon and persuade Dolgon to go north.

"Zhao Gongzi has only one county, and all the south of the Yellow River will be owned by Chu Zimou. The general has a grudge against Chu Zi again, and it is unlikely that he will let the general go, so please make up his mind as soon as possible and take refuge in the Ming Lord. ”

"I heard that Liaodong Taishou is still fighting in Youzhou, I don't know how?"

"It's not a secret, it's too long to attack Yuan Shao, and the soldiers and food are not enough, I'm afraid I will have to withdraw the troops soon."

"Liaodong Taishou can't enter Youzhou, what good is it for me to take refuge in Liaodong Taishou?"

"Taishou plans to return to Liaodong in order to pacify the Goryeo Kingdom, as well as some nomadic, fishing and hunting tribes in the north, and then map Youzhou. Once the Goryeo Kingdom is annexed, the population of the lord will be larger, and when the time comes, the troubles will be cleared up, and then enter Youzhou, it will definitely be unstoppable. The lord is not short of cavalry, but there is only a lack of talents like generals. Please do not doubt the sincerity of the lord. The south of the Yellow River has been occupied by Chu Zimou, and where else can the general go except to the north? ”

Fan Wencheng mentioned Aobai's friendship with Dolgon and persuaded Dolgon to leave Qingzhou and go to Liaodong.

"Zhao Gongzi is good to me......"

Dolgon couldn't help but be moved, the only thing that made him jealous was Zhao Gongzi's kindness to him.

"The general's life is about to be lost, why should he care about the past kindness?"

"I can persuade Zhao Gongzi to go to Liaodong together and take refuge in Liaodong Taishou."

"You don't have to. Taishou had sent people to lobby Zhao Gongzi many times, but Zhao Gongzi had no intention of going north and seemed inclined to surrender to Chu Zimou. If you continue to follow Zhao Gongzi, it will only be a dead end. ”

"Zhao Gongzi wants to surrender to Chu Zimou?!"

Fan Wencheng's words moved Dorgon.

Dolgon had a grudge against Zhao Yun, and it was impossible for him to take refuge in Chutian. In order to appease Zhao Yun, even if he didn't kill him, Chu Tian's situation was very dangerous.

If that were the case, Dorgon would have to consider taking refuge with another prince—to save his own life.

"Mingguan is considered a promising hero, no matter what, my relationship with Zhao Gongzi ends here, I led hundreds of Eight Banner cavalry, using the teleportation array of Linzi City to Xiangping City in Liaodong. I hope that the conditions he promised me will be fulfilled one by one. ”

Dolgon knew that he could only survive as much as possible by taking refuge with a prince who was on an equal footing with Chu Zimou. Mingguan is one of the few princes who can conspire with Chu Zi.

After deciding to leave Zhao Gongzi's forces, Dolgon, as a general, easily controlled the teleportation array and left the dangerous Linzi City with hundreds of Eight Banner cavalry.

Dolgon's resignation caused panic among the defenders of Linzi City. Zhou Yafu's army may come from the direction of Beihai Country at any time, but at a critical moment, Dolgon, as a general, fled, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the defenders!

"If I were to capture that ungrateful man alive, I would have him torn apart!"

Xue Wanche couldn't help but be furious when he learned that Dolgon had escaped!

As a military general who followed Zhao Gongzi very early, only he was the most loyal to Zhao Gongzi, and he was furious when he saw the betrayal of other military generals.

"Let him go."

Zhao Gongzi was very happy, and he realized that he was no longer qualified to maintain the status of a prince. The current situation is almost incomprehensible to him and Tian Qi, the two princes of Qingzhou.

"You go and negotiate with Zhou Yafu, if the conditions are right......"
