"Chu Zimou, worthy of you."

Zhao Long, the Taishou of Wei County in Jizhou, learned that Chutian had begun to unify Xuzhou, and couldn't help but marvel at Chutian's courage.

It takes a lot of courage to fight four counties with one county.

It is not only the famous generals who affect the outcome of the war, but also the national strength.

"No, he governed Langya Country for a period of time, plus many Qingzhou displaced people flowed into Langya Country, as well as people from various states and counties who went to take refuge, his Langya Country is equivalent to 1.5 counties."

Zhao Long speculated on Chutian's strength and believed that the Langya Kingdom was stronger than ordinary counties.

"Chu Zimou starts to act, and our anti-Cao Cao alliance must also speed up the deployment of troops and horses, otherwise it will only cheapen Chu Zimou for nothing."

Because of Chutian's support, Gongzi Wen, the Taishou of Jiyin County, established an anti-Cao Cao Alliance.

He knew Chu Tian's intentions, and Chu Tian wanted to use him to contain Cao Cao.

But Gongziwen was willing to be used.

As long as Cao Cao is defeated and forced to surrender, he will replace Cao Cao as the most powerful prince in Yanzhou, and then compete with Chu Zimou for hegemony.

In Xianyang City, Guanzhong, the lord of Xianyang City, said to a strategist who came to visit: "Wenhe, Chu Zimou has sent troops to attack Taoqian in Xuzhou, and our speed will also be accelerated. ”

Jia Xu was a little surprised: "But General Fubo, who ordered his subordinates to release cold arrows to attack Lu Bu under the Tiger Prison Pass that day?" ”

The old Qin was helpless: "Who else is it?" The other lords finally became Taishou, and now he is moving towards the state pastor, and the rest of the lords can only barely catch up. ”

"You want to surpass him, how do you want me to help you?"

"I want Dong Zhuo to die."

"Dong Zhuo has a group of tiger and wolf generals under his command, even if Dong Zhuo is dead, it will be difficult for you to control them. Especially Lu Bu, who is ambitious, will definitely not be willing to be subordinate. ”

"But I need Lu Bu and the Liangzhou generals to strengthen their strength. At the same time, only by getting Lu Bu can I deal with Wang Tiegun, the military general of the Longxi nobles. ”

"How are you going to subdue and harness them?"

"Stir up the relationship between the Liangzhou Legion and the Bingzhou Legion. Two dogs strive for a bone and a third runs away with it. ”

In the Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Xia City, Lu Zhi, who had not led troops for a while, put on his leather armor again and prepared to follow Chu Tian on the expedition.

Lu Zhi can serve as both a commander and a military advisor.

Chu Tian worshiped him as a military advisor and joined the army with Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling's intelligence is still above Lu Zhi, but Lu Zhi's influence in the eyes of the Eastern Han Dynasty family is too great, so Chutian can only wronged Fang Xuanling. When it comes to real decision-making, Chu Tian will synthesize the opinions of the two people.

Cai Yong and a group of celebrities from the Eastern Han Dynasty came out to see off Lu Zhi: "This trip, is it evil or auspicious?" ”

"I'm all this age, what does it matter if it's bad or bad?"

Lu Zhi's tone was free and easy.

His longevity was not long in coming.

Cai Yong sighed: "We are half-cut into the ground, and the future will indeed be handed over to young people." If Chu Zimou can successfully defeat Xuzhou, it will be Xuzhou Mu in his twenties, which is unimaginable. ”

The news that the Langya country was victorious in the water battle flag and that the main force on land was about to go south came, which made the people of Langya panic.

Won, Xuzhou changed hands.

lost, and the country of Langya changed hands.

The 60,000 troops of the Langya Kingdom dispatched by Chutian are all the elite men of the Langya Kingdom, and once the whole army is destroyed, the Langya Kingdom will not be able to raise another 60,000 troops.

Chutian is gambling on the fortunes of the country.

Eight thousand cavalry assembled outside Xia City, and Xue Rengui and Hua Mulan each led four thousand light cavalry to get ready. Due to the capture of many fine war horses from the Luoyang area, the number of high-level cavalry troops of the Langya Kingdom expanded again, and the Iron Eagle Scout and the Tang Elite Archer now have 500 people each.

The cavalry marched first.

Then there were the infantry and archers of Zhou Yafu and Li Guang.

The Willow Battalion and the Shooting Sound Battalion each had 4,000 people.

Li Guang also had 500 cavalry archers under his command, which they could use to contact friendly forces or interfere with them when necessary.

Lord's Mansion, Chu Tian asked people to pack their bags and prepare to go out with the army. It is necessary for him to be present in any decisive battle, because he has the aura of the whole army - the soul of the Han army.

Even a 3% bonus is extremely necessary, because a small difference can make the difference between victory and defeat.

Outside the lord's mansion, Xia Liang and Li Xiuning were waiting, as well as Zhao Yun's white horse cavalry.

In this decisive battle, Zhao Yun led 1,500 white horse cavalry (including 300 white horse righteous recruits) to serve as the task of the white horse reserve and escort team.

Chu Tian took a team of personal soldiers out of the house, and the personal soldiers brought him two war horses.

Now Chutian has two excellent mounts, a Turkic horse and a Liangzhou horse.

"The task of defending the city is entrusted to you, and your task is no easier than the battle at the front."

Chu Tian ordered Xia Liang and Li Xiuning to go down, and then prepared to turn over and get on the horse.

However, he found that Xia Liang gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and whispered: "Promise me, come back alive......"

Chu Tian was surprised in his heart, and pretended to be confident: "Tao Qian is just a mediocre talent, the 200,000 army is like a plate of scattered sand, in my opinion, it is not to be afraid of being wiped out in the snap of a finger." ”

Chu Tian got on the horse and led the pro-guards and the white horse to go on the expedition.

Xia Liang, Li Xiuning, and a team of women's soldiers stayed in the lord's mansion.

Li Xiuning glanced at Xia Liang and said flatly: "He doesn't seem to see it." ”

Summer is cool but absent-minded: "Xiuning, I have a foreboding ......"

Chu Tian rode a Turkic horse for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "She seems to have applied makeup with her heart today, what's going on......"

Chu Tian was indeed amazed by her just now, but now that the decisive battle was imminent, he had no distractions.

Fang Xuanling personally went to invite Lu Zhi, and he and Lu Zhi were two military advisors, riding two war horses to accompany the army. Fang Xuanling is young, and Lu Zhi is already gray, after all, Lu Zhi is a generation older than Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Lu Zhi has a good impression of Fang Xuanling, because Fang Xuanling is a smart person. Smart people are always willing to deal with smart people.

The two of them seemed to be talking about something, which aroused Chu Tian's curiosity.

"Two military advisors, I don't know what you're talking about?"

"I have a bet with Lord Lu whether Tao Qian's defenders will go out of the city to fight in ten days. Lord Lu thinks no, and I think it will. ”

"If it were me, I would definitely hold the city and thwart the spirit of the besieging party. Then the reinforcements arrived, and then the winner was decided. How could they rush into battle when the morale of the enemy army was at its peak? Xuan Ling, this time you lost. ”

Lu Zhi is confident in himself. In his opinion, although Fang Xuanling is a leader among the younger generation, he is young after all.

"Will we fight in ten days?"

Chu Tian was also a little surprised by Fang Xuanling's judgment.

If Tao Qian and Xiang Yan were smart people, they should have sent the main force outside the city according to what Lu Zhi said, so that the army of Langya State could besiege Tancheng. The defenders of Tancheng knew that there were reinforcements from outside, and they would definitely be able to hold on. Once the army of Langya Kingdom cannot be attacked for a long time, the main force outside the city can easily defeat the army of Langya Kingdom when they fight against the army of Langya Kingdom.

However, Fang Xuanling's inference was contrary to the judgment of Lu Zhi and Chu Tian.

"The reason is very simple, the scouts have just brought back intelligence, and the Xuzhou army has already pulled out of camp and marched to the north, preparing for a decisive battle with us."

Fang Xuanling took out a secret report.

Lu Zhi's eyes widened: "Xuan Ling, you are playing tricks......

Fang Xuanling already knew that the other party was going to fight, and he still had to bet with him, what was this not cheating?

Fang Xuanling smiled slightly: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating. ”

"Why did they decide to fight us if they didn't defend the city well?"

Chu Tian was surprised by the choice of the Xuzhou coalition army.

Unless the opponent is absolutely sure, it will change from a defensive position to an offensive one.

Who gave them the courage to attack Langya again?

"As soon as the news of our heading south broke, they immediately headed north, looking anxious for a decisive battle with us. Even if the grain that Cao Bao was responsible for escorting was burned by us, the food in Tancheng would be enough for them to eat for two months, and they should not be in such a hurry to fight a decisive battle. Therefore, the subordinates thought that they had hole cards and made them think that they could defeat our army. ”

"What hole cards?"

"I don't know."

Fang Xuanling's expression was a little solemn.

You don't have to have high intelligence to guess all the opponent's hole cards.

The reason why the hole cards are hole cards is because they are not known.

"Am I underestimating them?"

Chu Tian closed his eyes and recalled all the information he had collected related to the Xuzhou Coalition Army, there was basically no mistake, he figured out the strength and composition of the Xuzhou Coalition Army, and even counted Tao Qian's special class, the Danyang Army.

"You can only take one step, and look at one step."

Chutian is not omniscient and omnipotent, if the Xuzhou coalition really has hole cards, then it can only see the moves. Chutian also has hole cards in his hand, and the Xuzhou coalition forces may not know.

"Xuzhou Mu Taoqian came to Tancheng in person to boost morale! He may bring elite Danyang soldiers! ”

As soon as Chu Tian led his troops to leave Xiacheng, he learned the news of Tao Qian's personal conquest.

Tao Qian's behavior is also very abnormal...... Just make a decision, make Xue Rengui the vanguard, and go to provoke the Xuzhou coalition army! ”

The 200,000 Xuzhou army is moving north, entering the territory of Langya one after another, they are not as passive as they imagined, but take the initiative to attack!

"Report, Lord Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou came to the front line to supervise the battle!"

The lords of Xuzhou, who joined forces to march, learned that Tao Qian was coming to the front line, and immediately discussed it in private.

"What is that idiot Tao Qian doing here? You're not here to point fingers, are you? ”

"If Tao Qian is a fool, he will not be able to become a pastor in Xuzhou, pacify the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou, and gain the support of the families in Xuzhou. Therefore, Tao Qian still has some ability, but he is not eloquent, and he is too old. When you get older, you get confused. ”

Soon, the lords of Xuzhou understood Tao Qian's purpose.

"Lord Zhou Mu led four thousand Danyang soldiers to help!"

"Four thousand Danyang soldiers!"

The lords of Xuzhou were deeply shocked, it seems that Tao Qian also knew the importance of this battle, in addition to leaving some Danyang soldiers to control Pi and Tancheng, Tao Qian personally led four thousand Danyang soldiers out of battle.

Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are fruitful, good martial arts, noble strength, and the land of elite soldiers!

The lords of Xuzhou saw Tao Qian's chariot and horse, and there was an elite mountain infantry around the chariot and horse. Although the Danyang soldiers are more adept at fighting in mountainous terrain, as a special class, they can exert their powerful combat power even in plain terrain.

"What rank of Danyang soldiers are there?"

"It shouldn't be too high, because it is said that if you become a Danyang Taishou, you can recruit Danyang soldiers. There are also some special heroes who can also recruit Danyang soldiers. Since it is a special class of troops that can be recruited in batches in Danyang County, if it is still more than the fifth order, then it is too much. ”

"With Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers to help, we have a better chance of winning this battle."

The lords of Xuzhou went to meet Xuzhou Mu Taoqian.

Tao Qian was worried, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old.

Wang Lang and Cao Bao, the general of his administration, were captured alive by Chutian after the defeat of the water battle, and 30,000 units of grain were missing, which brought a heavy blow to Tao Qian.

In addition, the ambiguous attitude of the families in Xuzhou made Tao Qian even more anxious.

As a native of Yangzhou, he can gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, partly because he still has a Danyang soldier in his hand, and partly because of the support of the Xuzhou family.

Now the Xuzhou family is vacillating between Tao Qian and Chu Tian, which really makes Tao Qian feel uneasy.

Tao Qian must pacify the Langya Kingdom as soon as possible and use his military exploits to enhance his prestige in order to regain the support of the Xuzhou family.

"Four thousand Danyang soldiers, as a reserve, will be put into the battlefield at a critical time."

This old fox!

The lords of Xuzhou saw that Tao Qian was still unwilling to hand over the command of the Danyang soldiers, and they were helpless about it.

Tao Qian was unwilling to hand over control, but personally commanded the Danyang soldiers to participate in the battle.

The Inhuman lords knew Tao Qian's military level, but they didn't want to point out that Tao Qian was not suitable for leading troops in front of Tao Qian.

The lords of Xuzhou believed that even the Danyang soldiers without the command of a famous general were very powerful, enough to defeat the low-level light infantry.

Moreover, the Xuzhou coalition army had 200,000 troops, which was more than enough to attack Langya.

"This time, we will no longer divide our troops and march together, but concentrate all the main forces and specialize in attacking Xia City."

"Lord Zhou Mu only needs to watch the battle in the rear, and this battle can capture Chu Zimou of Langya Kingdom."

Tao Qian saw that the confidence of the Yiren lord doubled, although he didn't know why, he finally felt a little relieved: "If I can defeat Chu Zimou, I will go to the imperial court, and make the first person to replace Chu Zimou as Langya Xiang, and the rest of the people can be expressed as Guangling Taishou, Peng Chengxiang, or school captain, Du Lieutenant, all have rewards." ”

"Thank you, Lord Governor!"

The Great Lords of Intolet were grateful to Tao Qian on the surface, but in fact, no matter which of them replaced Chu Tian as the new Langya Minister, they would eventually have to fight with Tao Qian.

In other words, a prince like Tao Qian, lacking a core civil and military general, could easily be defeated by the rising Inhuman Lords.

One Chu Zimou fell, and a second Chu Zimou would raise troops to fight for Xuzhou.

"Report! Langya Kingdom fell into battle, and Xue Rengui, the captain, led the cavalry to call for battle! ”

When Tao Qian was discussing the decisive battle with the lords of Xuzhou, Xue Rengui led 4,000 cavalry, and the front of the army had already touched the Xuzhou coalition army!

Tao Qian looked around at everyone: "Which of you has a fierce general, go and take his head to boost the hearts of our army?" ”

Yang Ye originally planned to ask for battle, but was glared back by his lord, Su Xin of Guangling County.

Many lords were silent.

This is Xue Rengui, a fierce general who rushes into the enemy's thousands of troops and horses alone at every turn, who dares to send the general to death?

Even Yang Ye can't do it, unless Yang Zaixing can fight.

Tao Qian saw that there was no Inhuman Lord responding: "Could it be that this Xue Rengui is really so fierce?" ”
