"What do you think of this song?"

Cai Yong, a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty, stayed in Du Fu's thatched cottage and specially invited Chu Tian to come to Du Fu's thatched cottage to listen to music.

In order to appease this group of celebrities, so as to better subdue Xun Yu, Xun You and other disciples of the family in the future, Chu Tian took the time to come to Du Fu's thatched cottage to talk with the celebrities.

"This song is wonderful, I don't know who wrote it?"

Chu Tian heard the sound of the guqin coming from behind the screen, although he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad because of the incomplete five tones, but as long as he praised the other party, it was always right.

For some reason, the music has a relaxing effect.

Cai Yong replied: "This is the guqin played by the little girl. ”

"I wonder if I have the idea of working in the Bandhouse or the Thatched Cottage......

Chu Tian heard that Cai Yong brought Cai Wenji to Langya Kingdom from the war-torn Chenliu County, so he started Cai Wenji's idea.

What he covets is the bonus that Cai Wenji brings to the territory.

The bonus that a talented woman brings to the territory will undoubtedly be very high.

"This ......"

Cai Yong considered that he was old, and it seemed that he should indeed seek an errand for his daughter. Otherwise, you may be left alone in the future.

"The music workshop may be a bit noisy, and the market is stronger, so it is not bad to work in Du Fu's thatched cottage and devote yourself to the study of literature. In addition, you can also take a temporary position in the music workshop and perform once or twice a month. ”

If Le Fang can play the sign of Cai Wenji, it may be able to attract more business. Scarcity is expensive, and performing one or two shows a month will make Cai Wenji's value higher.

"It depends on the little girl's wishes."

Cai Yong hesitated, thinking that Langya has a female military general, and it is thriving, respecting literati, if he works in Du Fu's thatched cottage, it will not be a disadvantage to his daughter.

The sound of the guqin behind the screen stopped abruptly, and Cai Wenji came out from behind the screen and saluted his father and Chu Tian: "Zhaoji has seen Langya Xiang and General Fubo. The celebrities of the thatched cottage gathered, and Zhao Ji was just afraid that joining the thatched hall would damage the reputation of the thatched cottage. ”

Chu Tian looked at Cai Wenji, she looked quite weak, only about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was not married yet.

"How could it be. In the future, the thatched cottage can be divided into women's pavilions, which are dedicated to women's temporary posts and educate the people. ”

In order to attract special talents, Chutian divided Du Fu's thatched cottage into two parts, the main body is the literati Confucianism represented by Du Fu, Cai Yong, and Lu Zhi, as well as a special women's pavilion, which can train female students.

"Will the grass hall really set up a women's pavilion? If that's the case, Akihime's willingness to work in the grass hall can also make a difference. ”

Cai Wenji snorted lightly, she didn't expect that Chutian would set up a special institution to let talented women play an effect.

Chu Tian thought to himself, it was more than a little effect.

Even if Cai Wenji didn't do anything, as long as she served in the official institution of the Lord of Xia City, then her bonus would have an effect.

Du Fu's thatched cottage is a cultural building directly under the jurisdiction of the lord's mansion, and it is also Chutian's own building, after Cai Wenji had the idea of serving in Du Fu's thatched cottage, Chutian can already see Cai Wenji's panel.

[Name]: Cai Yan

[Talent]: Special Talent (Talented Girl)

[Age]: 15

[Commander]: 10 [Force]: 10 [Intelligence]: 75 [Politics]: 45 [Charisma]: 93

[Favorability]: 52

[Phase]: Unfortunate

[Trait 1]: Unfortunate Talented Woman (S-class exclusive trait, territorial cultural prosperity and influence +13%, easy to gain male sympathy; When playing the music, it can calm the listener)

[Trait 2]: Han Yuefu Poet (A-level trait, Territorial Culture Prosperity and Influence +10%, when the same trait is stacked, the effect decreases)

[Trait 3]: Calligrapher (A-rank trait, when serving as a teacher, the probability of special talents appearing among students increases)

No wonder Chu Tian had a feeling of tranquility when he listened to the music just now, it turned out to be Cai Wenji's own effect.

This is the third unfortunate hero of the Chutian forces, and the first two unfortunate heroes are Li Guang and Du Fu.

Because of Chu Tian's protection of them, the fate of these unlucky characters was changed.

Li Guang made a lot of military exploits, beheaded Xiao Jian, the former Langya Prime Minister, and shot Dong Zhuo's cavalry commander Hu Zhen.

The cottage is named after Du Fu, who is now a celebrity in Langya, with no worries about food and clothing.

Cai Wenji was originally going to marry a short-lived husband, and then was plundered by the Southern Xiongnu, and now Cai Wenji has also entered Du Fu's thatched cottage, and her fate has changed.

Leave Cai Wenji in Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, and Cai Yong, who has nowhere to go, is estimated to stay in Xia Cheng.

"Lord, General Wu Dun, who is stationed in Jiqiu County, sent someone to report urgently, that is, there are cavalry figures of the Xuzhou coalition army outside Qiu County, with about 10,000 people, trying to cut off the grain route between Jiqiu County and Kaiyang County, and maybe sneak attack Xia City and the villages and towns near Xia City!"

Chu Tian was about to brush up on his favorability with Cai Yong and Cai Wenji's father and daughter, so that Cai Yong and Cai Wenji could better serve the Langya Kingdom, and the personal soldiers of the Lord's Mansion came to inform Chu Tian of important information.

"Ten thousand cavalry...... Lord Cai and Little Miss Cai have military affairs in the background, and they will come to visit the cottage when they are free. ”

Chu Tian knew that military affairs were urgent, and he couldn't delay for a moment.

Cai Yong said: "Go ahead." The war is in chaos, but I didn't expect that Langya Country is also fighting, and it is difficult to have peace in the whole world. ”

Cai Wenji gave a humble salute: "May General Fubo defeat the enemy." ”

Chu Tian hurriedly returned to the lord's mansion and immediately spread out the map of Langya Kingdom, judging the route and purpose of the enemy's 10,000 cavalry.

As a member of the army, Fang Xuanling assisted Chutian in making decisions as soon as possible.

"Have Xue Li and Zhao Yun returned?"

"Not yet."

"How many cavalry are there in the city?"

"There are only 600 high-ranking cavalry of Hua Mulan and Li Guang, 2,000 light cavalry, and heavy cavalry troops. In addition, the level of the four thousand light cavalry recruited by using the Xiliang War Horse was not high enough. ”

"The enemy's entry into the country of Koulangya with 10,000 light cavalry must be for quick action, and the heavy cavalry troops are not useful at all. Only by relying on the light cavalry could they be expelled. These 10,000 light cavalry dare to go deep into the enemy's territory, maybe the main generals are Yang Ye and Yang Invincible. ”

Chu Tian thought of the reputation of the Yang family general, and was worried that Yang Wushu was in the opposing camp.

Yang Ye is a famous cavalry general, and he has the advantage of troops, and he often uses 10,000 light cavalry, and Chu Tian feels a headache for Yang Ye.

Yang Ye took the initiative to lead the cavalry to invade Langya State, and the tactics of active defense destroyed Chutian's plan for a decisive battle with the Xuzhou coalition forces in Tancheng.

The defender is more aggressively defensive, which is more difficult to deal with than passive defense.

"I can only send Hua Mulan and Li Guang to lead the light cavalry to expel Yang Ye, and Zhou Yafu can lead the Xiliu Battalion and the Shooting Sound Battalion to meet Hua Mulan and Li Guang. The newly recruited light cavalry also went into battle, and only through the baptism of war could they become elite. ”

There are many generals under Chu Tian's command who can be dispatched, but Huaxiong's heavy cavalry cannot play any role in the face of Yang Ye's light cavalry, because they can't catch up with Yang Ye at all.

Li Xiuning's women's army is one of the hole cards, and Chu Tian does not plan to use it easily.

So Chutian still used a group of veteran-level generals to encircle and expel Yang Ye and the 10,000 light cavalry he led into Langya.

After Xue Li and Zhao Yun returned to Xia City, they immediately went to support Hua Mulan and Li Guang. It's best to capture Yang Ye alive, and if you can't do anything, kill it. ”

Chu Tian considered that Yang Ye was difficult to deal with, so this time he sent all the cavalry to encircle and suppress Yang Ye.

For the Yang generals, Chu Tian had the idea of recruiting, but Yang Ye was a loyal general like Zhao Yun and Gao Shun. I'm afraid that after being captured alive, even Fang Xuanling will be difficult to make him surrender, unless his lord is captured alive.

"Where is the target of Yang Ye's 10,000 light cavalry planned to attack......"

Chu Tian speculated on the map about the direction of Yang Ye's attack.

The places where Yang Ye may attack are Liangshan Town, Xia City, Yunlai Town, and ......

"Lord, there is an enemy ranger in Shangbi Town!"

"What does he want to fight in Shangbi Town?"

Chu Tian was shocked in his heart.

Shangbi Town has gold mines and iron mines, and there are high-end blacksmith shops and military craftsmen's workshops in the town, which continuously provide gold, weapons and armor for Xia Cheng, which is an important place for Xia Cheng.

Although more advanced iron ore and silver ore were later discovered in Yangdu County, Juxian County and other places, the importance of Shangbi Town declined, but Shangbi Town still hoarded a lot of iron tools. If Shangbi Town is broken by Yang Ye, the loss of Langya Kingdom is not small.

"Ordered Mulan, Li Guang, and Zhou Yafu to go to support Shangbi Town...... Wait......"

Chu Tian fell silent, and he suddenly thought that Yang Ye should not be so reckless and forcibly attack Shangbi Town.

Shangbi Town is now a third-level town, and in order to protect the important Shangbi Town, Chutian also set up a stone city wall and more than a dozen wooden arrow towers in Shangbi Town. In addition, the dangerous terrain of Shangbi Town temporarily recruited thousands of miners to defend the city, and it was difficult for cavalry to attack.

Fang Xuanling was in line with Chu Tian's thoughts at this time: "This may be Yang Wudi's plan to lure the enemy, or it may be a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." ”

"It's really tricky to meet first-class generals."

Chu Tian couldn't help but sigh.

Yang Ye has the advantage of troops and takes the initiative everywhere, while Langya Guo is quite passive due to insufficient troops.

Yang Ye dared to actively defend and take the initiative to attack, because he was not afraid of consuming troops, he lost 10,000 cavalry, and he still had 20,000 cavalry.

But Chu Tian only had 10,000 cavalry in his hands, and he couldn't withstand even a big defeat.

Without cavalry, Chutian would not have the certainty of going south to attack Xuzhou.

"If it is to lure the enemy, he may use Shangbi Town as a bait, set up an ambush, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then ambush the troops everywhere. It is also possible to retreat backwards and attract Hua Mulan and Li Guang to Jiqiu County for an ambush. ”

"If it is to divert the tiger from the mountain, he may pretend to attack Shangbi Town, but in fact he will attack other towns."

"There is a third possibility, he may be able to improvise in the first two strategies."

Fang Xuanling considered almost all of Yang Ye's possible actions.

The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and Yang Ye's difficulty is higher than the enemy that Chu Tian faced alone before. In particular, Yang Ye only brought 10,000 light cavalry to come, and if he could fight, he would fight, and if he couldn't fight, he would flee, and it was not easy to encircle and suppress.

However, Yang Ye still ignored one point......

"Mulan has a war eagle, and it is very difficult for Yang Ye to ambush her."

Unless there is a dense forest, it is impossible for 10,000 light cavalry to escape the sight of the war eagles. The information provided by the war eagle is limited, but it can basically determine whether Yang Ye's main force is in the front.

It can be said that Mulan's light cavalry is immune to more than ninety percent of ambushes.

"The only thing to consider is that he used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to sneak attack other villages and towns. Ordered the nearby villages and towns to strengthen their defenses and keep a close eye on the movements of enemy cavalry. ”

After Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling joined forces to deliberate on the details, they reacted quickly.

"General Mulan, the Lord has ordered you and General Li Guang to lead six hundred high-ranking cavalry, two thousand light cavalry, and four thousand recruits to pursue Yang Invincible! Special order, pay attention to Yang Invincible's ambush! ”

"General Zhou Yafu, the lord has an order, you lead 3,000 soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion and 2,000 soldiers of the Shooting Battalion to be responsible for receiving the two generals Hua Mulan and Li Guang!"

Xia Cheng urgently transferred troops, and Hua Mulan and Li Guang led 6,000 cavalry to support Shangbi Town.

Zhou Yafu, who marched slowly, followed closely behind, preventing Hua Mulan and Li Guang's cavalry from being routed by Yang Wu's cavalry.

Whether it is Hua Mulan or Li Guang, the ability to command the cavalry may not be as good as Yang Ye.

In Shangbi Town, tens of thousands of cavalry led by Yang Ye arrived one after another, and the black clouds overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it!

The miners of Shangbi Town temporarily converted into village warriors and came to defend on the city wall built against the mountain.

They looked nervously at the black-pressed cavalry below, and they couldn't help but breathe fast.

The visual effects of tens of thousands of cavalry are extremely shocking, stretching to the end of the line of sight. At the forefront, the "Yang" character general flag announced that the commander of this cavalry was Yang Ye, the cavalry captain of the Xuzhou Allied Army, nicknamed "Yang Invincible"!

"Dismount and attack Shangbi Town, put pressure on Xia Cheng, and force it to reinforce it. This place is suitable for ambush, and you can divide a group of soldiers and horses to ambush the enemy. ”

Yang Ye noticed that Shangbi Town was built on a mountain, and the nearby terrain was complicated, so he asked the deputy general to dismount with 5,000 cavalry, feint to attack Shangbi Town, and personally led troops to ambush reinforcements.

Such a ploy would have been a clever plan, but the five thousand cavalry in ambush had already been detected by the war eagles.

The warhawk swept down and landed on Mulan's shoulder.

"There is an ambush ahead, but the number is unknown."

Mulan can get a brief intel from the war eagle and discover Yang Ye's ambush.

"What about the ambush, let me kill into the enemy formation and shoot Yang Invincible with a big bow, I don't believe that he is really invincible!"

Li Guang is full of pride, because he shot Dong Zhuo's cavalry captain Hu Zhen and shot Lu Bu, and now Li Guang has doubled his confidence, not like an unlucky egg.

“……”

Hua Mulan remembered that Chu Tian mentioned to her that Li Guang was unlucky, and when she needed to take risks, she couldn't let Li Guang take risks himself.

"When Zhou Yafu's reinforcements approach, I will pretend to enter an ambush, and you and General Zhou Yafu will take advantage of the situation to kill, and they will cooperate with each other inside and outside, but they can defeat Yang invincible."

After Mulan has an intelligence advantage, the next deployment is relatively simple.

"I led the archers into the encirclement, relying on the terrain to defend it, and it was easier to hold on."

Li Guang insisted on taking the risk himself, because he had a bow and arrow damage bonus.

"Okay. General Li Guang, please be careful. ”

Hua Mulan saw that Li Guang volunteered and did not compete with him.

When Zhou Yafu's Xiliu battalion striker had already made contact with Mulan, Li Guang swaggered into Yang Ye's ambush with a team of cavalry as bait.
