Last time, it was said that Zhang Liao attacked when Zhou Fu Mingjin collected his troops and wiped out 5,000 enemy troops. made his lieutenant general particularly puzzled, and the two were discussing this matter.

"Jun, have you been ignoring Zhou Fu's army when Mingjin withdrew its troops before, just for this day?" the adjutant general asked adoringly.

"Not really!" Zhang Liao said, "Where do I have such a god! It's just that even if we went out of the city before, we didn't have any chance, but we were in danger of being surrounded by Zhou Fu." If we let it go unchecked in this way, the enemy will think that we will not dare to go out of the city, and then a sneak attack will be able to achieve the effect of surprise. In fact, even if Zhou Fu's rear army is not in chaos this time, I will go out of the city to attack them, because our troops are already insufficient, and we must go out to fight and take the opportunity to reduce the pressure of defending the city in the future. ”

"The lieutenant general said with a happy face. After all, anyone would be glad that they were under a wise and brave general, and that would increase their chances of saving their lives.

After Zhou Fu gathered the army and counted it, he found that he had lost more than 5,000 soldiers by Zhang Liao's rush, and he couldn't help but feel very angry. Coupled with the destruction of the Houjun camp and the loss of more than 20,000 soldiers, and now there are only a little more than 70,000 troops under his command, Zhou Fu thought that even Shao Dan's own army of 300,000 still lost troops against Chu Shan, and finally ran back to Chenliu in disgrace, and now he only has 70,000 soldiers left, and these people are not all obeying his orders, can he achieve victory?

Zhou Fu kept thinking, no matter what he thought. I don't have much chance of winning. However, is it necessary for him to continue? Zhou Fu immediately thought of a question in his mind, whether it was time to retreat at this time. There are 30,000 troops in his descendants, and they have always been his own Chinese army, and there are still 27,000 at this time, so the loss is not large. Retreat at this time, as long as the speed is fast enough, there is still a great chance to go back. After thinking about this problem, Zhou Fu did not hesitate, and immediately ordered his subordinates and the rest of the Taishou or their henchmen to come to his camp. Prepare for a meeting.

After all the people arrived. Zhou Fu said, "Tell everyone the news that the rear army camp was destroyed, and it was the cavalry led by Chu Shan himself. There are thousands of people. ”

"Is it possible?" said one of the generals in astonishment.

>> Isn't the mountain confronting Shao Taishou?" One Taishou groaned. Said slowly.

& It was news from a few days ago. Zhou Fu said sarcastically. "Three days ago, Shao Tai's troops defeated Qinghe County and had returned to Chenliu. The only thing left in the four-way army is us and Gongsun Xu!"

The crowd was immediately stunned. Hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated. It's incredible.

Zhou Fu immediately asked everyone to calm down and said, "Summoning everyone here is to discuss whether we should leave or stay and break the net with Chushan Yu?"

>> said one of the generals, "can we win against Chu Shan?"

"Yes!" Zhou Fu said affirmatively, "Actually, I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of a reason to win against Chu Shan." Even if we break through this county seat, then what will happen after that? How many of our troops will be left, 50,000, 30,000? What will we use to defend against Chushan's army at that time? Taking a step back, even if we capture Changshan County, will the army in our hands be able to break through the Northern County? It is the old nest of Chushan, and it is still so difficult to attack a county seat, let alone a northern county! Where to go, I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to regret it when you get it!"

The Taishou and the generals in the big tent were silent. At this time, Zhou Fu said directly, "We formed an alliance to deal with Chu Shan, but now the alliance has existed in name only. The Alliance Leader has returned to Chenliu, what is the point of us here. What's more, don't forget, our enemy is not only Chushan, once you are left here, your lair will be in trouble. ”

Hearing Zhou Fu's words, everyone immediately reacted. Yes, I don't have a grudge against Chushan, and now if I lose too much here, when I return to my own territory, I will be unable to clean up the mess, and maybe my county will be occupied by others. Thinking of this, everyone finally discovered the Yan zhòng nature of the problem, and at this time they all said, "Mrs. Zhou's words are reasonable, we are all looking forward to you!"

Zhou Fu looked at everyone's faces and knew that he might be hated by Shao Dan. But there was no way, so I had to order, & go down, immediately pack your luggage, and prepare to retreat. After speaking, he waved his hand and signaled the meeting to adjourn. After the Taishou and the generals went down, without the slightest hesitation, they immediately packed up as quickly as possible and prepared to evacuate. When Zhou Fu's army was about to evacuate, Chu Shan and Zhang Liao also received the news, but now Zhang Liao also had no time to pursue, besides, if he went out of the city to pursue, he might be hit back and cause chaos, after all, the other party had a full 70,000 troops, and he could only go out of the city to pursue 20,000 soldiers. After Chu Shan learned this information, he was silent for a while, and then decided to join Zhang Liao and let them go. Because Chu Shan knew that once they were all wiped out, they would only be able to cheapen Shao Dan in vain, and a relatively chaotic south would be more in Chu Shan's interests than a unified south. In fact, if the south is unified, it will be detrimental to Chushan. But if the South goes its own way, it will not be good for the people. Only by adopting a compromise strategy, unifying a part, and forming a confrontation between several princes, can it be most in line with the interests of Chushan.

After Chu Shan and Zhang Liao converged, they were also full of emotion, they didn't expect that in just a few months, such a huge change had taken place in Dahan. First of all, Chushan repelled the barbarian army and recovered the three counties, and then the grassland attacked, and the coalition army attacked itself. Fortunately, he quickly solved the grassland problem, and then solved the allied troops with a fight, and now only Gongsun Xu is left alone, I believe that soon after, I will be able to hear the news of Gongsun Xu's withdrawal.

Sure enough, after Chushan and Zhang Liao merged together and rested for a day, Gongsun Xu retreated. Gongsun Xu had to retreat, and now he is the only one left. The loss of troops is no longer able to manage another attack, and it is not possible to annihilate the whole army. So after hearing the news of Zhou Fu's retreat, Gongsun Su decisively retreated. avoided the tragic fate of being caught between Tai Shici and Zhao Yun, and preserved his strength, which has to be said to be Gongsun Xu's luck. After Gongsun Xu withdrew his troops, Chu Shan recalled Tai Shici and Zhao Yun, and together with Zhang Liao, discussed the countermeasures to capture Qinghe County, Guangling County, and Dong County.

"Male, these three counties are now defenseless. I will definitely be able to win it in one fell swoop!" Tai Shi Ci said.

& Don't be impatient. Chu Shan said. "After a series of battles, the soldiers under his command have been miserable, and their combat effectiveness has dropped a lot, if they go to war at this time. Although it was possible to achieve victory. But the casualties among the soldiers were certainly heavy. That's not what I'm going to see. ”

"Gong Ren!" said the generals in unison.

Now, the few counties we have left are in shambles, and I've decided to take a three-month break. Carry out training and return to production, otherwise, the people will suffer in the coming year. Chu Shan said in a deep voice.

After looking at the faces of several generals under him, he knew that they were in a hurry to fight, so he said, "You don't have to worry, there will be many big battles in the future, so don't be in a hurry." After speaking, he said to Dian Wei, "Ziman, you find someone to find Tian Feng, saying that there is something important to discuss in Changshan County!"

After speaking, Chu Shan announced the adjournment of the meeting. In the days that followed, the territory of Chushan was completely restored. Northern County, Wuyuan County, Hedong County and Changshan County are slowly recovering their vitality. Tian Feng came to Changshan County two days later, and after a day of secret discussions with Chu Shan, he immediately left and went to Hedong County to join Gao Shun. Chu Shan didn't make any moves, but returned to the Northern County. Chu Shan's actions made the Taishou and the family members of the Han Dynasty feel relaxed for a while, everyone thought that Chu Shan would retaliate, where did they think that Chu Shan would return to the Northern County like this, and nothing happened.

At this time, the Taishou of several counties bordering Chushan's territory was indeed greatly relieved, and immediately withdrew his heavily guarded army, and began to have fun himself, because they all thought that Chushan would not send troops. So, about three months later, the whole Han was calm. One day in the third month, Chushan's army began to move, and it was a big move. Gao Shun directly sent troops, and the front of the troops was directed at Qinghe County, Zhang Liao attacked Guangling, and Zhao Yun invaded Dongjun. These three counties were defeated and retreated by the army of Chu Shan without the slightest preparation, and they completely occupied these three counties within three days.

Three days later, Chu Shan directly occupied all three counties. At this time, Yongchang County was too guarded by Wei, and the status was very embarrassing. His Yongchang County borders Wuyuan County and Qinghe County, and Shangdang County is indeed to the west. Wei Wei was panicked in his heart, because he was almost surrounded by Chu Mountain, although Shangdang County was not Chu Shan's power, but it was difficult to guarantee that Li Yang would not cater to Chu Mountain and unite with Chu Mountain, and he was afraid that he would not have a bright future. Thinking of this, Wei Wei had no choice but to immediately lead his 5,000 soldiers and horses to the south to defect to Shao Dan in Chenliu County. After Chu Shan knew this news, he smiled slightly, and immediately sent troops to occupy the unguarded Yongchang County, at this time, Chu Shan's territory has developed from a barren northern county to eight counties, and what is even more rare is that these eight counties are all linked, avoiding the battle on all fronts of Chu Mountain, and this Chu Shan has laid a solid foundation for future development.

After achieving his strategic goals, Chu Shan temporarily stopped. But although Chushan did not move, the south was full of military disasters, and after this battle, the Taishou everywhere fully understood that their strength was weak, and they were attacking each other while the allies around them were defenseless, and there was a beacon smoke everywhere, only the territory of the eight counties of Chushan was calm, and the lives of the people did not change much.

After the people of the other counties learned about this situation, many people had already begun to move towards the eight counties under the rule of Chu Shan, and every day many ordinary people entered the rule of Chu Shan. At first, it was hundreds a day, and then it grew to thousands a day, until the princes realized that something was wrong, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people had already entered the territory of Chushan, and there were fewer Wuyuan counties, but the remaining seven counties were indeed a lot. Chu Shan did not refuse these people who came, and after the territory was expanded, he was worried about how to increase the population, and now there were hundreds of thousands of population incomes, and it was too late for Chu Shan to be happy! Although the population under Chu Shan was already quite a lot, the distribution was very uneven, and most of the population was concentrated in the northern counties, and the combined population of the other counties was less than half of the population of the northern counties. The population of each county is only in the hundreds of thousands. Few counties even have a population of just over 100,000, such as Gohara County. In order to enable the people of the northern counties to move to the rest of the counties, Chushan issued a set of decrees, and the people who moved to the other counties and counties could each get five acres of fertile land and be exempt from tax for three years. Immediately after the promulgation of this decree, countless ordinary people set out from the northern counties and entered these counties. Of course, there are still some ordinary people who are reluctant to move and still stay in the northern counties, but the situation has been greatly improved, as long as after a few years of development, the strength of the remaining seven counties will definitely increase rapidly.
