After arranging the work of his subordinates, Chu Shan became very leisurely. But the others were different, Li Daniu, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Tian Feng and Du Haibo were busy preparing for the battle, and they were so busy that they were in a mess. The military generals were ready to dispatch troops, and Wenchen was responsible for the grain and grass in the rear and the scheduling, although he was busy, but he was in an orderly manner, and everything was carried out in accordance with Chu Shan's wishes.

Three days later, the three armies gradually moved away in the three directions of Wuyuan County, Hedong County and Changshan County. Chu Shan looked at the army in the distance, not only sighed, Dahan has twenty-six counties, and he only controls one of them now, although the area of this county is very large, almost as large as the area of two or three counties in the south. If he can take the three surrounding counties smoothly this time, then his territory will be tripled, although there are only four counties in number, but this is almost the largest county in Dahan. Originally, in the north of the Han Dynasty, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and there were often wars in the north, so most of the people fled to the south. Although, in recent decades, the northern counties of Chushan have attracted many displaced people, in general, the surrounding counties are still very sparsely populated.

The progress of the three-way army is very smooth. It was only three days' work before they came to the border with their neighboring counties. There are two flowers, one on each branch. Putting aside the rest, now the army of nearly 200,000 led by Li Daniu and Tai Shici is preparing to march towards Yiliang County, which is connected to Wuyuan County and Northern County. In fact, Wuyuan County leads ten counties: Jiuyuan, Wuyuan, Linwo, Wenguo, Heyin, Wudu, Yiliang, Manbai, Chengyi, Xi'anyang, there are 4,667 people. Yiliang County is a small county town with a population of less than 10,000 and 500 guards. Tai Shici and Li Daniu led an army of nearly 200,000, and the ratio to the common people has reached one to one, and it can be easily taken down, but if you fight hard, the casualties at that time will not be small. So Tai Shi Ci said to Li Da Niu, "General Li, Ci thinks that it is not difficult for us to take Wuyuan County, the main thing is to reduce casualties. On the one hand, there are the casualties of our troops. On the other hand, there are military casualties. I wonder what the general thinks?"

General Shi said very much. Li Daniu said with a smile. "But it's not easy to reduce casualties. Although there were only 200,000 civilians in Gohara County, there were 50,000 troops, and these armies fought against foreigners all year round. It's an elite force. A soldier who wants to surrender without a fight. It's really hard, I don't know what the general can do?"

&Have an immature idea. Tai Shi Ci was slightly embarrassed and said, "It's better for us to divide the troops into two ways." The general led his subordinates to crush the past one county by one with a dignified and upright momentum, and its route was Yiliang, Linwo, Wenguo, Heyin, and Wudu, while Ci led his subordinates to detour to the south, passing through Manbai, Chengyi, and Xi'anyang, and finally met Wuyuan County, as for the last Jiuyuan County, under the premise that almost the entire Wuyuan County was conquered, we joined forces, I am afraid there will be no difficulty. ”

Li Daniu was silent for a while and said, "What the general said is very true. That's it!" After the two finished speaking, they didn't drag their feet, and Tai Shici immediately led his subordinates to run directly to the south. Li Daniu's 100,000 army was left under the city of Yiliang. An army of 100,000 surrounded Yiliang City, and Li Daniu did not immediately start attacking, but sent people to shout and surrender. To Li Daniu's surprise, before he had implemented his plan, Yiliang City opened four gates. The county order came out with the household registration and official seal and surrendered.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Daniu immediately accepted the surrender of the county order, and after leaving five thousand soldiers to guard Yiliang, he immediately passed towards the next goal. There are 30,000 people in Linwo County, but there are 5,000 soldiers stationed there, these soldiers are brave and good at fighting, Li Daniu does not dare to relax in the slightest. So according to the general rules, the tentative siege began. In one day, Li Daniu attacked the city three times, each time leaving behind hundreds of corpses, but the soldiers defending the city suffered few casualties, so he immediately stopped the senseless sacrifice and began to besiege without attacking.

At this time, the county of Wuyuan County was indeed in a panic. Taishou Zou was very anxious. At this time, Zou had already received the news that Yiliang had been broken, and now the army of Chushan was divided into two routes, and all the way had surrounded Linwo County, and now the information for help from Linwo County came in waves, but he only had 20,000 troops under his command. Moving all the way in the direction of Manbai, Chengyi, and Xi'anyang, I am afraid that I have already conquered Manbai at this time, and I am close to Chengyi. Chengyi is a large county with a population of 50,000 and an army of 6,000. But Tai Shici's army had seventy thousand, which was a ratio of one to ten. Zou was no longer hopeful. So he instructed his subordinates to pack up the softness, and while Tai Shici had not cut off the road to the south, he immediately turned around from Xi'an Yang and left Wuyuan County.

The news of Taishou Zou's private departure was not concealed for long, and it spread throughout the entire Wuyuan County the next day, and finally spread throughout the entire Wuyuan County at a very fast speed. At this time, Tai Shi Ci took the opportunity to release the news, saying that as long as he surrendered, all past mistakes would not be investigated, and announced the treatment of the common people under the rule of the northern county of Chushan. With Tai Shici's continuous propaganda, the resistance of the common people became weaker and weaker day by day, and finally on the third day, Chengyi County surrendered. After that, Xi'anyang, Wenguo, Heyin, and Wudu all surrendered to the wind, and the two armies met in Wuyuan County in just ten days. Gohara County is the county seat of Gohara County, with a population of 70,000 and an army of 20,000. However, with the departure of Taishou Zou, it seemed that the army was discouraged, and after Chushan's army approached the city, he immediately opened the door and surrendered. As a result, there was only one Jiuyuan County left in the entire Wuyuan County, which was not under the rule of Chu Shan. Li Daniu and Tai Shici originally thought that Jiuyuan County would be taken down very easily, but they did not expect to encounter fierce resistance. Although the number of troops in Jiuyuan County is not large, there are only more than 10,000 people. However, due to the perennial war with foreign races, its combat effectiveness is very strong. Li Daniu and Tai Shici were careless, and fell for the tactics of the guards and lost nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Then the two put away their contempt and began to fight in earnest. Tai Shici's force was super strong, and he was the first to climb the city wall of Jiuyuan County. As Tai Shi Ci occupied a place on the city wall, Li Da Niu quickly expanded his victory, but it was just a cup of tea. And he took down the whole wall. After breaking through the city gate, the two restrained the army, did not commit any offense against the common people, and sent messengers to surrender to the defenders Zhou Cang and Liao Hua. The two saw that Chushan's army was strictly disciplined and had three chapters of law with the common people, so they surrendered. After Chu Shan learned that Tai Shici and Li Daniu had surrendered Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, he was very happy, because these two were also famous generals in history during the Eastern Han Dynasty, although their abilities were not strong. But that's compared to first-class generals. On talent. The two commanded more than 10,000 troops.

Hedong County leads nine counties of Anyi, Wenxi, Yuan, Fenyang, Dayang, Yishi, Xie, Puban, and Hebei, with 200,000 households and a population of about 1 million. Changshan County is Zhending County, Tong County 8. 150,000 households. It has a population of about 800,000. Hedong and Changshan are much larger than Shigohara. But it is the size of a county under the rule of Chu Shan. The other two armies of Chushan were led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun respectively, each leading 100,000 troops. Although they also encountered very strong resistance in the process, they were under the command of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. Or crack them one by one. In the end, Gao Shun's troops suffered 20,000 casualties, destroyed 100,000 enemy troops, and captured 50,000, while Zhang Liao's troops suffered 35,000 casualties, destroyed 120,000 enemy troops, and captured 80,000. In just one month, the Three Route Army took the three major counties around Northern County, Wuyuan County, Hedong County and Changshan County. Among them, the reason for the large casualties of Zhang Liao's troops was that there was a very powerful general in Changshan County, who had the courage to be invincible, and he had 5,000 elite soldiers under his command, and most of the casualties of Zhang Liao's army were caused by him. In the end, it was Zhang Liao who personally came on the field and captured him, but the general swore not to surrender. Zhang Liao had no choice but to escort him to Yiqu County, Northern County, and hand him over to Chushan for disposal.

After Chu Shan learned the name of this general, he was very excited and personally greeted him ten miles outside Yiqu County. At that time, Chu Shan said, "I don't want to be happy to get Changshan County, only for the general!" So he personally untied General Zhao Yun and entered Yiqu County with him. After that, Chu Shan and Zhao Yun chatted alone for a day, during which Chu Shan finally persuaded Zhao Yun with his three-inch incorruptible tongue. After Zhou Cang and Liao Hua arrived, Chu Shan accepted Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua into the Flood Desolation Realm as usual, and after these three people learned about the magic of Chu Mountain, they did not hesitate to donate their natal essence blood, thus becoming the creatures of the Flood Desolation Realm of Chu Mountain. Of course, Chu Shan's conjoined kung fu was also passed on to the three of them. After that, Chushan recruited troops again and established a new army, with a strength of 100,000, which was handed over to Zhao Yun to command. As for Zhou Cang, he became Tai Shici's lieutenant. Liao Hua became Zhang Liao's lieutenant general.

Although Shun Lì won the territory of three counties, these three counties were not rich, especially Wuyuan County, which has a similar area to the northern county, but the population is less than one-third of the northern county, which shows its poverty. As for Hedong County and Changshan County, although the situation is slightly better, it is not much better. After Chu Shan took over these three counties, he immediately ordered Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Tai Shici to be stationed in the local area, and appointed them as Taishou respectively. Subsequently, some low-level officials of the northern county were dispatched to serve as ordinary officials and county magistrates of the county, and all the policies of the northern county were fully implemented. Of course, there must be some wealthy families who are dissatisfied, but Chu Shan did not take drastic actions, but gave them all gifts out of the country, and gave them a lot of wealth, which was comparable to all the wealth of their family. After there was no obstruction from the landlords and the powerful people, the policy of the three counties could be well implemented.

The territory of the four counties in Chushan's hands is now completely linked, but the northern county is connected to the barbarians, and the Wuyuan county is connected to the grassland peoples in the northwest, and it needs to be heavily guarded. Therefore, although Tai Shici was the Taishou of Wuyuan County, he was in Jiuyuan County with the deputy general Zhou Cang to prevent the invasion of various tribes in the grassland. As for Hedong County and Changshan County, they are connected to other counties of Dahan, and with the ability of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, it is simply foolproof. As for the work of restoring the people's livelihood, it will not be able to achieve it in a short time and a half, if it is necessary to develop to the northern county of Cheng dù, it will take at least decades of effort, but now that everything is on the right track, it only needs time to precipitate, and it will naturally be able to develop to the same prosperity as the northern county, but can Chushan develop quietly? Can the surrounding alien races and the Taishou of other counties of the Han Dynasty give Chushan time to develop? The answer is obvious! (To be continued......
