Chapter 454

After several tugs of war, Wu's army retreated, and the Xuzhou army captured Bowang and controlled the pass leading to Xianghan.

Bowang is the enemy of Funiu Mountain in the north, hidden mountain in the South and Baihe River in the West. If Jingzhou allied forces want to invade the Central Plains, they must pass through Bowang.

The Central Plains army can also pass through bowangpo and enter Nanyang basin to attack Jingxiang.

Chu Tian asked the people to rest in broad hope and explore the enemy's deployment in Wancheng.

Wancheng is no longer Chu Tian's sphere of influence.

Xia Tianliang led a large army from the rear to join Chu Tian.

"When I was in Xuchang, the players in the rear got intelligence and said that Zhang Xun, the general of the Tang Dynasty, had been stationed after the war. Although Zhang Xun is not a particularly powerful commander-in-chief, his ability to defend the city is top-notch. It is said that the Tang Dynasty is likely to garrison Wancheng. "

After summer cool entered Xuchang, he got the intelligence from Xuzhou players and took the intelligence to Chutian camp.

"Zhang Xun? His reputation is not very good... "

Chu Tian remembers this man. In order to defend the city, all the people in the city died. He may be the most ruthless general.

However, unless there is a deep hatred between the players, they should not go to that step. After all, there is only the concept of China between players, as for who unified China, it is not a problem.

Even so, with Zhang Xun's garrison bonus, it is extremely difficult to capture Wancheng.

Wancheng is located in the north of Jingzhou. Yang Shilang will help Shuo Tang defend Wancheng.

"There is also an important intelligence that the reinforcements of Jingzhou army are gathering in Xinye to support Wancheng."

"In this way, we can only give up attacking Wancheng."

Chutian has no ability to attack Jingzhou yet. Once he collides with Jingzhou, he will miss the chance of annexing Hebei.

In Chutian's strategic plan, Hebei has a higher priority than Jingxiang.

There are nearly 200000 people in Wancheng, and tens of thousands from Xinye. Xiangyang, Jiangling and Jiangxia in the rear are still dispatching troops. Wancheng, which has a garrison general, will become a meat grinder, leaving all the main force of Chutian in Wancheng.

Chu Tian gazed at the cool summer: "in your opinion, how should it be?"

"Guarding the summer road of Fangcheng, and then instigating dissension, Jingzhou will fight with Jiangdong and Yizhou. Tongque is about to unify Jiangdong. As long as he can't expand to the north of the river, he can only march into Jingzhou We can also win over Shuo Tang. "

Summer is cool.

She said the "summer road of Fangcheng" is the important pass in and out of Jingxiang in the area of bowangpo.

Fang Xuanling and Xun you nodded slightly after hearing her opinion.

This is probably Chu Tian's view.

To deal with Shuo Tang Dynasty, we should not only use force, but also adopt the policy of gentleness.

Chu Tian needed a garrison general to garrison Bowang, to guard the Xiadao of Fangcheng, and to prevent Jingzhou army from entering the Central Plains.

"Xia Hou Dun and Li Dian can keep a broad view."

Chu Tian sent two generals to guard Bowang, blocking the exit of Jingzhou army, and then sent a senior general to guard Xuchang for support at any time.

"Change Xuchang into the seat of Yingchuan county."

After he made up his mind to withdraw, Chu Tian changed the place of Yingchuan county without authorization, and planned to garrison troops in Xuchang.

The terrain of Xuchang area is flat and suitable for farming. Kongzi, Yuanshu and Shuo Tang used to set up farming there, but now they are all cheaper than Chutian.

The information brought back by the Tieying scouts who went to Wancheng for investigation was almost the same as the intelligence inquired by the players in the rear. Wancheng had complete defensive fortifications. In Xinye, a reinforcement force of about 70000 people gathered, under the command of general wenpin and other generals, prepared to go north to reinforce and turn Wancheng into a Shura.

Tens of thousands of people in Runan County used the transmission array to reach Wancheng and strengthen the city defense.

After confirming that the information was correct, Chutian secretly withdrew from the division and personally led the army and moved to Xuchang.

Yuzhou was basically occupied by Chutian, but people's hearts were not settled. Chutian needed to take charge of Yuzhou and readjust the official structure of Yuzhou.

"Chu zimou retreated!"

Yang Shilang and Shuo Tang of Wancheng were relieved and regretted when they learned that Chu Tian had withdrawn.

If we can fight a big war between Jingzhou and Chutian, we may be able to turn defeat into victory.

"I have been a sergeant in Yuzhou for a year and a half, so I can't forge ahead in the Central Plains."

It is said that the Tang Dynasty counted the troops and suffered heavy losses.

Since Tang Dynasty had been in Runan County for many years and won the hearts of the people, about 50000 people came to join him.

However, Tang Dynasty found one of the most important people missing, that is general Dashu Feng Yi.

Feng Yi was his commander-in-chief next to Guo Ziyi, and he was loyal to Tang Dynasty. If Feng Yi doesn't come to Wancheng, there is only one possibility - death or capture.

It is not only Feng Yi, but also the transmission array of Runan County has failed, which indicates that Pingyu (Zhumadian), the seat of Runan County, is lost. Even if there are still people loyal to the Tang Dynasty, they are also blocked in Runan County, unable to come to Wancheng.

"Feng Yi, Cheng Yaojin and the whole of Yuzhou The loss this time is considerable. " shuo_tang_ '_s_mentality_is_on_the_verge_of_collapse_ ._

He finally occupied Yuzhou and managed Runan County for many years. As a result, Chutian was so cheap.The population and agriculture of Runan County are quite good under the management of the Tang Dynasty, and may be richer than Langya.

"Since Chu zimou retreats, I will return to Xiangyang, and Nanyang County will be handed over to you to defend. This time, I lost a lot

Yang Shilang sighed.

Yang Yanzhao was arrested, and all the legions suffered losses. His losses were so great that he was unable to eat the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, he could only cooperate with Shuo Tang to keep Jingzhou.

"What are you going to do?" he asked? Only Jingzhou, not Chu's opponent. "

"In Xiangyang, Jiangling and Dongting Lake, we set up a farm and practiced the Navy. If possible, unify the south of the Yangtze River, or, when the main force of Chu zimou attacks Hebei, he will enter the Central Plains. "

Yang Shilang began to withdraw.

……

Runan County, Pingyu City, under the city.

When the city gate opened, a group of officials came out and surrendered to the Yanzhou and Xuzhou allied forces.

Not everyone is willing to follow Shuo Tang. After all, those who know the current affairs are the heroes.

Two of them held the official seal of Yuzhou, representing the officials of Yuzhou, to welcome the army into the city.

"Who are you?"

Cao Cao wore a red robe and narrowed his small eyes.

The father and son replied, "Chen Ji and Chen Qun, from Xuxian County, Yingchuan, are the officials of Yuzhou's animal husbandry. Yuzhou's herdsmen have abandoned their guard over Runan, so they are willing to surrender their herdsmen to Yanzhou."

"It turned out to be Chen Ji."

Cao Cao had an impression on this once active scholar in Luoyang.

Chen Ji and Chen Qun's father and son are the figures of Yingchuan family.

Yingchuan, Nanyang and Runan are the most active families in the world.

Chen Ji and Chen Qun's father and son not only gave the official seal of Yuzhou animal husbandry, but also handed over the account books recording the population, money and grain of the counties and counties in Yuzhou.

It is said that the policies of Tang Dynasty, as the Lord of players, are basically the same as those of Chutian, such as the combination of population statistics, Chaju system and imperial examination system

Of course, the winner takes all, saying that all the achievements of Tang farming became the spoils of Chu Tian.

……

In Yecheng, Jizhou, Zhou Yafu's troops were under the city, causing panic among the defenders in the city.

This is the second time Yecheng has been besieged.

It was not others who led the way, but Xu you, a counselor who went south to seek refuge in Chutian.

Xu you tries to persuade the general, but Zhao long has changed his confidants Gao Gu and Han quhu. All the city gates are Zhao Long's people. Xu you can't shake the guard of Yecheng.

Seeing that Zhao long left 30000 soldiers to guard Yecheng and 15000 soldiers to guard Handan, Zhou Yafu changed his tactics.

He brought people in Liyang to harvest the wheat in Yecheng area, and collected some of the wheat planted in Yecheng this year, which made Yecheng fall into a situation of food shortage.

Not only that, Zhou Yafu also moved people from villages and towns near Yecheng to fill liyang's population and strengthen Liyang.

Han captured the tiger, but was not angry, led a team of cavalry out of the city to attack Zhou Yafu's camp.

Zhou Yafu set an ambush to attack Han quhu.

Han chuhu wanted to pig out of Zhou Yafu's general flag and capture Zhou Yafu alive.

However, Chu Tian specially arranged Li Guang as Zhou Yafu's deputy general in order to protect Zhou Yafu and strengthen Zhou Yafu's offensive ability.

Li Guang nearly shot Han quhu with an arrow. After leaving hundreds of cavalry casualties, Han quhu fled back to Yecheng.

Zhou Yafu continued to harvest wheat and migrate population.

According to Du Ruhui's rough statistics, a total of 60000 people and 150000 grain and forage units were captured, enough to meet the needs of 150000 people a year.

In order to ensure the safety of Yecheng, Gao Gu and Han quhu had to stick to Yecheng and dare not to pour out their nests. Like Xu you's judgment, ye city is still uncertain. Once Gao Gu and Han Qiuhu lead the main force out of the city to fight Zhou Yafu, rebellion will probably occur inside Yecheng, so Gao Gu dare not take risks.

Han's capture of the tiger was daring and reckless, but he was subject to Gao Gu.

Gao Gu thinks that Han jiehu is not Zhou Yafu's opponent. He only gives Han qiehu some troops and harasses Zhou Yafu's wheat cutting team.

Zhou Yafu was attacked by Han jiehu and was unable to take away all the wheat, but he had already dealt a big blow to Yecheng.

The harvest of grain and grass is enough for liyang's garrison for a year.

In addition, Du Ruhui organized the civilian husband to dig a canal to lead Qi water into Baigou to raise the water level of Baigou.

Baigou communicates with Yanzhou, Liyang and Yecheng, that is to say, after the water level of Baigou rises, Yanzhou grain carriers can enter Jizhou. After Chutian's main force calmed down Hebei, there was no need to worry about the shortage of food and grass.

This is also in Xu you's plan.

In order to defeat Hu Ma as soon as possible, Zhao long paid a lot of price. He not only compromised Liu Bei and Tian Qi, but also gave up Li Yang and was occupied by Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui made small moves right under his nose, but he was unable to separate troops to defeat Zhou Yafu.Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui were obviously preparing for Chutian to pacify Hebei.

Under the management of the two men, Liyang City became a fortress located in Hebei Province. There were grain carriers constantly entering Baigou to transport soldiers, grain and grass and weapons to Liyang

"Damn it, Zhou Yafu, and Du Ruhui..."

At this time, Zhao long, who entered the state of Changshan to confront Hu Ma, received a report from his confidant Gao Gu. His spies in Chutian forces had received corresponding intelligence. Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui were the two who captured Liyang.

Zhou Yafu played a stable role and wanted to destroy Zhou Yafu and drive him from Hebei to Henan, unless Zhao Long himself led the army south.

Du Ruhui, who has no sense of being, is a difficult character for Zhao long.

There were too many counsellors and ministers under Chu Tian's command, and Du Ruhui didn't have many opportunities to perform in ordinary times, so that many people forgot that Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were the same level of counselors or Wen Chen.

When Du Ruhui had a chance to be on his own, he became a big demon who made Zhao Longtou painful.

A figure who is good at both resourcefulness and internal affairs, together with Zhou Yafu, who is calm and steady, is in Liyang, Hebei Province, and can't catch up with him.

"Let Gao Gu and Han capture the tiger in accordance with the established plan and continue to stick to it. Yecheng is the most important. Some grain and grass lost can also be transported from other counties and counties. "

Zhao Long was upset by Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui, and still focused on defeating Hu ma.

Liu Bei and Tian Qi received the promise of Zhao long to break the land and seal the king. They led some troops to support Zhao long and launched the war of Changshan state with Hu ma.

This is a game between Jizhou and Bingzhou.

Jizhou Zhaolong has the advantage.

Zhao long not only owns most of the land in Jizhou, but also occupies half of Youzhou, with Liu Bei and Tian Qi as their pawns, while Hu Ma only has Bingzhou.

Hu Ma originally took advantage of Zhao long and Yuan Shao to become enemies and captured Jizhou.

However, Zhao Long quickly captured Yuan Shao alive and annexed his followers, which led to Hu Ma's awkward situation.

The army of the state of Huzhou and the army of Huzhou and zhaoma had been combined in the battle of Jizhou and Houma.

"Yuan Shao failed too fast. I'm not an opponent of Zhao long, Liu Bei and Tian Qi..."

Hu Ma was afraid of Zhao Long's army.

He had Li Mu and Lian Po, and he should have annexed Jizhou at once, but Zhao long had Yang Su, the commander-in-chief, who was not inferior to Li Mu and Lian Po.

Yang Su was a ruthless man. After the Sui Dynasty defeated the Chen Dynasty and unified China, he defeated the Turkic Datou Khan and suppressed Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty. He fought from the south to the north, and won every battle.

In addition to Yang Su, Zhao Long also took over the powerful generals of Yuan Shao, such as zhulv Mingyue, Lanling king, Yan Liang, Wenchou, Zhang Ying, Ju Yi, etc., and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wu Han, and ashinasher of Liu Bei, and Tian Ji, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, Gu Yezi, etc. of Tian Qi's Ministry, helped them.

"Taiyuan urgent report, South Hun tribe again mutiny, black mountain army has the tendency to attack Taiyuan!"

When Hu Ma was ready to make a fight and fight Zhao long to the death, the backyard caught fire again!

Hu Ma's face was gloomy. This was the second time that Zhao long used diplomatic tactics to tease him.

The Bingzhou army had to retreat backward, otherwise once Taiyuan was lost, the Bingzhou army would be deeply trapped in Jizhou and homeless.

"The Bingzhou army has retreated!"

"The time has come to pacify the two states."

Zhao Long ordered Liu Bei to the left, Tian Qi to the right, and himself in the middle to attack the Bingzhou army.

The three armies march forward together, and the shaken Bingzhou army is defeated again!

Zhao Long took advantage of the situation to recover the well diameter and attack Bingzhou!

Liu Bei stationed his horse and watched the mighty Jizhou army attack Taiyuan county from the well path. He could not help feeling: "two military divisions, the north is indeed the land of tigers and wolves."

Liu Bei thinks that his talent is not weak, but it seems that he can not take advantage of it in the north where all the heroes coexist.

Chuzimou of Xuzhou put Cao Cao in Dongjun for friction, while Zhao long in the North lost twice to him, even Hu Ma, who owned Li Mu and Lian Po.
