"Sa Lu Zi, in the future, I will put it in the stable of the palace to raise."

Chu Tian saw that Sa Luzi was shot and injured by Mulan, so he planned to take in the injured Sa Luzi.

Sa Luzi is also one of the six divine horses that followed Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin is also a legendary figure, sweeping the world in his twenties, born in a famous family, with a good wife, a divine horse, and a fierce general, who dominates the world, and can be described as a winner in life.

"You will follow me in the future, and I will be responsible for you."

Chu Tian stroked Sa Lu Zi's fur, unlike the black Absolute Shadow, Sa Lu Zi was a divine horse with purple hair.

"Ding! The SS-level achievement quest 'Six Horses of Zhaoling' is opened, and you can complete the achievement quest by collecting six war horses: Fist Mao, Shi Vachi, White Hoof, Telle Horse, Qing Hu, and Sa Lu Zi. ”

Chu Tian rarely heard the system's reminders.

This time, the achievement task turned out to be to collect six mounts of Tang Taizong.

Chu Tian didn't know where Mingguan got Sa Lu Zi from, but he knew that it was not easy to collect all six divine horses.

Each steed has a special effect and is invaluable.

It's just that Sa Luzi was too unlucky, and was almost shot by the 95-armed Hua Mulan with an armor-piercing arrow made by Mo Ye.

The dignified Tang Taizong's mount, if he died like this, it would be a pity.

As for the reward for the achievement task "Zhaoling Six Horses", Chu Tian didn't know what it would be.

The red-coated cannon was transported back to Summer City.

The power of a Class 10 firearm goes without saying.

However, the shortcomings of the redcoat cannon are also quite obvious, that is, the mobility of the redcoat cannon is too poor.

Next, Chutian plans to go on an expedition to Liucheng to see if there is a chance to completely take Liaodong City.

If Liaodong City can be taken, then the major trouble outside the border will be completely solved, and there is no need to worry about the troubles of Liaodong from now on.

Counting the calamities of Goryeo, Liaodong is not peaceful.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, after Cao Cao pacified Yuan Shao's forces, he followed Guo Jia's advice and went on an expedition to Liaoxi, basically pacifying Wuhuan and the remnants of the Yuan family, so that he had the energy to pacify Xilong and Jingzhou in the south.

Chu Tian was in this position and adopted a strategy similar to Cao Cao's, wanting to pacify Liaoxi.

Guo Jia originally wanted to suggest that Chu Tian take advantage of the victory to pursue, but he had already sensed that Chu Tian originally intended to occupy the entire Liaoxi, so he did not specifically convince Chu Tian.

Chu Tian also asked the generals of the captured Mingguan forces to be brought.

At the end of the battle, a small number of seriously injured soldiers could not escape and were captured by the Xia army.

A martial artist covered in blood was brought to Chu Tian.

This military general is not the brothers Murong Ba and Murong Ke that Chu Tian remembers, but Zhu Neng, a fierce general under Zhu Di of Ming Chengzu.

Zhu Neng didn't seem to be very willing to become a prisoner.

"King Ming has been defeated, and there is only a corner of Liaodong left, and it can't be done. With Zhu Neng's skills, it is enough to go down in history. And not to serve me, to conquer the Quartet, to establish an immortal cause? ”

Chu Tian tried to recruit Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng belongs to the cavalry general of the force type, if Zhu Neng can be subdued, Chu Tian's cavalry lineup will be stronger.

Zhu Neng was silent, but unwilling to surrender.

Chu Tian frowned slightly, the generals of Liaodong had become a group, and it was not easy to recruit these generals who were in a group.

Chutian's subordinates also have a tendency to group together, such as the Women's Legion and the Khitan Legion, but the Liaodong Legion is obviously more united and strong.

The Liaodong Army has a sense of honor established by Mingguan, and even if the army on the opposite side is the Central Plains, it dares to fight head-on, that is to say, Zhu Neng and others have their own pride and will not surrender easily.

Unless Mingguan, which represents the interests of the Liaodong Army, surrenders.

Along with Zhu Neng, there was also the retreating Zu Dashou.

On the way to retreat, Zu Dashou was captured by the Knights of the Round Table.

Zu Dashou, a military general in the late Ming Dynasty, may not be very loyal to Mingguan.

If Chu Tian had put his mind to it, he would have been able to subdue Zu Dashou.

It's just that Zu Dashou doesn't need Chu Tian to spend so much effort to recruit specially.

"Would you like to work for me?"

Chu Tian just asked Zu Dashou.

"I serve King Ming, how can I surrender?"

Zu Dashou did not surrender directly.

"Treat them and put them under house arrest."

Chu Tian imprisoned Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou.

Chu Tian attaches more importance to Zhu Neng's ability, although Zu Dashou has a problem with his loyalty, he is also a famous general.

The most critical generals such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun always follow their cavalry, and it is not easy to capture them alive.

Guzhu City, Sun Chuanting and the defenders finally determined that the Ming army was defeated, because Chu Tian had the captured Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou brought them to the city to show off the strength of the Xia army.

Since Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou were captured alive, and the Xia army had no intention of breaking the siege, it was almost certain that the Ming army had been defeated.

"General, our army has been defeated, and there is no need to defend this city, where should we go?"

The generals and junior colonels of Guzhu City all looked at Sun Chuanting.

By now, less than half of the 100,000 defenders remained.

Houses in the outer city were demolished and razed to the ground.

Sun Chuanting stood on the city wall, looked to the east, and couldn't help but cry.

Liaodong and Liaoxi military generals have their own system, and now they are defeated, which is equivalent to their previous efforts, which is meaningless.

"There are still more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in Guzhu City, and it will not be a problem to defend it for another month or two, if you have the will to die, even if you can defend it for another three months. Just ......"

Sun Chuanting intended to continue to defend the city, but the defenders in the city had no fighting spirit and wanted to surrender.

As the main general, Sun Chuanting is still in a dilemma.

Geng Yi and Cheng Yu continued to put pressure on Sun Chuanting.

In the end, the gate of Guzhu City was still opened, and Geng Yi's Youzhou rode into the city.

The 40,000 Ming troops in the city were demoralized and had no fighting spirit.

Geng Yi's Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry gained a lot of experience because of their participation in the Great Battle of Liaoxi, and they were on their toes at this time, and they were the victorious side.

"Sun Chuanting, serve King Xia."

Geng Yi rode a war horse and came all the way to Sun Chuanting, wanting to recruit Sun Chuanting and let Sun Chuanting serve Chutian.

Sun Chuanting just said calmly: "Impossible. ”

"With your talents, it would be a shame to die like this. Come and protect Sun Chuanting. ”

Geng Yi put Sun Chuanting under house arrest, and waited until the Liaodong forces were completely pacified before recruiting.

Guzhu City, the western fortress of Liaoxi County, was occupied by the Xia army, and only Liucheng in the east, near Liaodong County, remained.

"I didn't expect it to fall short."

Sun Chuanting's face turned pale.

40,000 Ming troops were taken prisoner, and in order to prevent them from defecting, these Ming generals were imprisoned, and after the ordinary soldiers were scattered, they were dispersed to various armies.

Sun Chuanting's special army was the "Qin Army", which was not a Qin soldier during the Warring States Period, but an officer and soldier recruited in the Guanzhong area at the end of the Ming Dynasty to suppress the peasant uprising of Li Zicheng and others.

Sun Chuanting once made Li Zicheng suffer a lot and was almost killed by Sun Chuanting, but the Ming Dynasty had declined at that time, Li Zicheng and others could fail countless times, and Sun Chuanting could only fail once.

When Sun Chuanting failed once, he was defeated and died.

Sun Chuanting is still a second-rate military general, so Mingguan will let him lead an army of 100,000 to defend Guzhu City.

Sun Chuanting did not live up to the expectations of the Ming Pass, but the main force of the Ming army failed, and it was meaningless for Guzhu City to continue to defend it, and at most it could only contain tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Xia army.

For the Xia army occupying the Central Plains, Hebei, Youzhou and other places, it was easy to send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to besiege Guzhu City.

Trimester? Chutian could even be besieged for three years.

Sun Chuanting's Qin army was guarded alone, and these people only obeyed Sun Chuanting's orders and were not stable.

The news of the fall of Guzhu City by the Xia army spread throughout the Han Empire!

The loss of a city in Guzhu City cannot affect the overall situation, what really affects the situation of the Han Empire is the loss of the main force of the Liaodong Army, the Han Empire's northern war, and Chutian's winning side has been ninety.

Lujiang County, Sun Jian was dispatching troops, and he was about to attack Hefei for the third time, and he heard that the Xia army had captured Guzhu City, and the main force of the Ming army was defeated, and his expression was complicated.

Sun Ce had grown to the peak at this time, tall and resolute, and Zhou Yu could be called the second marshal of Jiangdong, he learned that the main force of the Ming army had failed, so he came to persuade Sun Jian to stop preparing to attack Hefei: "Father, the Xia army defeated the king of Ming in western Liaoning, most of the main forces of the king of Ming were defeated, a few generals were captured by the king of Xia, and Liaodong was in chaos. At this time, we led the Jiangdong Army to attack Hefei, and the main force of the Xia Army could arrive in Shouchun at any time. At that time, not to mention that Hefei cannot be captured, in case the prince of Xia arrives in Shouchun, gathers troops, and counterattacks Lujiang County, won't even Lujiang County be lost? ”

Sun Ce's worries are not unreasonable.

Because of the existence of the teleportation array, the Xia army can gather troops quickly from a distance.

The cost of the teleportation array was originally expensive, but in the unification war of the Han Empire, all the princes smashed real money into it regardless of the cost, so the cost of the teleportation array was not a matter at all in the eyes of the red-eyed princes.

Before the financial bankruptcy, as long as the other party is destroyed, then it is worth it.

Sun Jian stared at Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, although your strength and ability to command soldiers and horses have grown, you have to consider factors other than the battlefield, this is a qualified family master." If you want to inherit my position and become the head of the Sun family, you still need to study hard. ”

"The child is puzzled."

"Although King Xia won and King Ming lost most of Liaoxi, King Ming still had the most important Liaodong. The area of Liaodong was originally just a county, and the Ming King conquered the east and the west, and now the land of Liaodong is comparable to the size of Jingzhou. The main force of the Xia army was to pacify Liaodong, and it would inevitably fall into Liaodong in a short period of time, spending a lot of time and money to pacify the Liaodong tribes. King Xia couldn't pull out, so there was no need to worry about King Xia's main force suddenly coming to Shouchun City. ”

"I see......"

"Not only that, my brother-in-law urged me to send troops, and I must give my brother-in-law an explanation."

"Then our secret agreement with Lu Su ......"

"Attacking Hefei, King Xia will only increase the price for us in order to save trouble."

"Hiss......"

For the first time, Sun Ce discovered that his father, Sun Jian, was not just a military general who was only good at leading troops to fight.

Sun Jian can establish his own team, under the command of Wu Wang Tongque, Sun Jian is relatively independent, equivalent to half a state pastor, and also has some means.

"Daddy."

A little girl about four or five years old, carved in pink and jade, pulled Sun Jian's trouser legs.

Because Sun Jian was discussing an extremely secret matter with Sun Ce, he was frightened by Sun Shangxiang who suddenly appeared: "Xiangxiang, why did you sneak in?" ”

A maid came in and reported: "Master, the young lady has beaten a few children around her to tears......

“……”

Sun Jian and Sun Ce glanced at each other, helpless against Sun Shangxiang, who was usually active.

Sun Shangxiang didn't have the expression of doing anything wrong at all, but took it for granted. The children of the surrounding families are also descendants of Sun Jian's generals, and they don't dare to ask the daughter of the head of the family for an explanation.
