"Zhongde called on the Lord and his colleagues."
Cheng Yu led Yanzhou officials to meet Chu Tian and his party.
In order to attack Jizhou this time, Chutian led a group of civil servants and military generals directly to Puyang, preparing to cross the Yellow River in the north.
Wei Qing, Cao Cao, Le Yi, Chen Qingzhi and other military commanders all wear a sharp, Cape hunting.
Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Yang Ye, Yang yanzhao, Tai Shici and other powerful generals are brave and good at fighting.
Joan of arc, Liang Hongyu and four tigers of the northern army are eager to try.
After giving birth to a child, Hua Mulan followed Chu Tian to fight again. She didn't want to stay in the backyard to stay at home. She preferred to stay on the battlefield.
Hua Mulan, with two Tang swords on her waist, is as sharp as ever. She once again commands the Investigation Corps and follows Chu Tian as she did a few years ago.
Cheng Yu managed Yanzhou for Chutian and comforted aristocratic families and civilians. When he saw his former owner Cao Cao, he just nodded.
Because of the separation of military and political affairs by Chu Tian forces, Cao Cao could not manage both military affairs and internal affairs at the same time unless there was a shortage of talents. He was only responsible for his army of tigers and leopards.
"At the end of the day, Xu Sheng had prepared a good luck grain ship and 300 000 troops' grain and grass for two months. As long as the Lord gave an order, he could transport the grain and grass to Liyang."
Xu Sheng came to Dongjun to collect all the ships and transport the military grain.
The water volume in Baigou was not enough to use large grain carriers. Xu you suggested that Qi water should be introduced to Baigou to raise the water level before passing through. Zhao Long didn't pay attention to Baigou, so Xu Sheng's grain carrier could sail freely in Baigou.
In this expedition against Jizhou, Chutian only had time to gather 300000 troops. In the rear, barracks are recruiting troops, forming Shenji barracks and other arms to supplement the losses of the front line.
"The Qingzhou army, which was forbidden in the Tang Dynasty, was ordered to make preparations for crossing the river and to contain Tianqi in the plain. Only when Sun Bin and Tian Dan leave Pingyuan county can they cross the Yellow River to the north. "
"Let sang Hongyang preside over the rear finance. When recruiting soldiers, I will maintain the normal operation of finance."
When Chu Tian came to Dongjun, he was immediately informed by Yu Jin and sang Hongyang.
In fact, it is not easy to control Sun Bin and Tian Dan with 40000 soldiers of Qingzhou army. Fortunately, there is Yellow River as a barrier.
Chu Tian personally commanded the army and attacked Yecheng.
His personal visit to Jizhou will cause a great disturbance throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Jingzhou army, Jiangdong army and Guanzhong army will be ready to move.
When Cao Cao was fighting Guandu, everyone wanted to turn over Cao Cao from the rear.
Liu Biao did not want to attack Cao Cao secretly, but was obstructed by the rebellion of Jingnan. Sun CE even wanted to surprise Xu Chang, but was assassinated by Xu Gong's doormen. Most counties in Henan Province responded to Yuan Shao.
The generals in Guanzhong expressed their neutrality, neither helping yuan nor Cao.
Zhang Xiu originally wanted to help yuan, but Jia Xu advised him to help Cao.
Chu Tian faced the same situation as Cao Cao in the battle of Guandu. When he was ready to fight Zhao long, the great prince of Hebei Province, some of them were ready to move.
Xu you followed Chu Tian with full confidence. If Chu Tian wants to take Jizhou, he must be put on important position: "if you want to capture Yecheng, you must surround Yecheng and break Handan. Otherwise, Jizhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou reinforcements will gather in Handan and continue to support Yecheng, and the war will be far away."
"Very good. How long will it take to capture Yecheng? "
"To match the garrison, it will be three months at least and one year more."
Xu you's judgment makes Chu Tian frown slightly.
Yecheng is a giant city, the first city to the north of the Yellow River. Its firmness is second only to Chang'an and Xiangyang.
The match is also a guard general. Gao Gu and Han quhu are guarding Yecheng. Yecheng's recruitment speed is not slow and has a certain ability to counterattack.
Xia'anliang has taken over the intelligence agency: "according to the information that Ye Cheng should have obtained, Zhao long has accumulated enough grain and grass in Yecheng for a year. In these months, he has consumed part of the grain and grass, and there should be about eight to nine months' supply of grain and grass. If it's just a besieged city, it won't take a year to capture Yecheng. "
"After eight to nine months of siege, I'm afraid Zhao long has captured Taiyuan."
Facing the iron hedgehog like Yecheng, Chutian is deeply troubled.
The level of Ye City is higher than ordinary city, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In particular, Yecheng was backed by Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, and combined with the power of the three states to resist the army of Chutian.
In each of the three states, there are 150000 troops in each state.
Some of Chu Tian's troops stayed in four prefectures to guard against the enemy in Jiangdong and Jingzhou, so the local troops were at a disadvantage.
However, even so, Chutian still dared to take the initiative to shake Hebei.
The military front of the Mongol Empire has reached the edge of desert south. If Chu Tian does not pacify Hebei as soon as possible, he will be extremely passive when facing the Mongol Empire in the future.
If Chutian had half the states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, even one person could resist the Mongolian Empire.
This war must be won.
"Is it enough to take a city gate?""The success rate of attacking the city gate with the help of internal agents is extremely low. Gao Gu has ordered soldiers to patrol the city."
"The white robed army, as the vanguard, arrived at the city of Yecheng, but all those who came out of Yecheng were captured."
Chu Tian once again used the white robe army as the vanguard.
In the North China Plain, except for a few major rivers and Taihang Mountains, it is almost flat. The white robed army can gallop freely and have no scruples!
The vast majority of the tactics are extremely pale in front of the white robed army.
As a vassal of the Central Plains, Chutian had enough cavalry to fight with the princes of Hebei.
"Take orders
Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, with their white robes in their rolls, have taken the lead in crossing the river!
If it's winter now, even if you don't need a ferry, you can cross the Yellow River on solid ice.
In the battle of Jingkang, Jin Bing chose to go south quickly in the cold winter, and quickly withdraw from the Central Plains after the melting of ice and snow.
It was summer, months away from the winter of the battle of Jingkang.
In the past few months, Chutian's goal was to capture Yecheng and then divide troops to pacify Hebei.
After the battle of Guandu, it took Cao Cao several years to wipe out yuan's influence in the north of the Yellow River.
Chu Tian thinks his speed should be faster than boss Cao, after all, his team is stronger.
The white robed army is full of 30000 people, and a number of soldiers and soldiers were killed in the battle of Yuzhou. At present, there are only more than 20000 cavalry, so there is no time to supplement them.
Twenty thousand cavalry were divided into 20 groups and were transported to the north of the Yellow River with men and horses.
If Chu Tian had not had the foresight to capture Liyang City on the other side, the Jizhou army would have been able to fight half way across the river.
Chen Qingzhi, the God of the white robed army, has been keeping a low profile since he joined the Chutian camp.
Chen Qingzhi is as reliable as Zhou Yafu, but he doesn't have much sense of existence at ordinary times. When he really uses it, Chutian is especially reassured by Chen Qingzhi.
Chen Qingzhi camped on the other side of the river. The next day, more than 20000 cavalry of the white robed army had assembled and marched toward Yecheng.
Twenty thousand white horses, forming a white wave, rolling up dust in the North China Plain!
Xu you followed Chu Tian to cross the river. When he saw the white robed army in uniform silver armour, white robe and white horse, he could not help but be shocked.
He had never seen such a large and orderly cavalry under Yuan Shao.
The momentum of the white robed army is amazing and can play a deterrent role to the enemy!
In addition, there are Xue Rengui and Zhao long. When the enemy meets the white robed army, they will be defeated with one blow!
Under the attack of the white robed army, Tang did not dare to fight in the field.
When Chu Tian came to Liyang City, he saw Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui, who had been kept away by Chu Tian for a long time, but made great contributions to pacifying Hebei.
"It is because of the help of two people that I can stand firm in Hebei. After the pacification of Hebei Province, he will be promoted and granted marquis. "
Chu Tian pacifies them, which makes Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui very excited.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
Chu Tian's treatment of meritorious officials has always been good.
"Four Tigers of the northern army, please lead the five schools of the northern army to assist the Baipao army in attacking Yecheng!"
On behalf of the four tigers of the northern army, MI Fang actively called for war.
Mi Fang accumulated the credit for the national war and pacifying Yuzhou. He was promoted from Zhonglang to general Fu. He wanted to fight in Hebei and climb up again.
"Xing Daorong's injury has not yet recovered. The four tigers of the northern army can't attack easily for the time being."
Chu Tian knew that although Mi Fang's abilities were all deficient, she would fight actively in every battle. The four tigers of the northern army dare to fight.
Influenced by Chu Tian, MI Fang's confidence is high.
Since Mi Fang's debut, there has been no failure. The capture of Jingzhou general Cai he is irresistible
In the gorge of Taihang Mountains, a cavalry quickly passed through the pass of Taihang Mountains, and from Shangdang county to Yecheng city via Maocheng county and Shexian county!
Guan Yu is carrying the green dragon Yanyue sword. His mount is a king level horse produced in Youzhou. He travels 800 times a day!
Behind Guan Yu, 20000 cavalry traveled day and night, abandoning their supplies.
According to Wang Meng's deployment, Chu was not given the opportunity to surround Yecheng, so as to ensure that the grain and grass from all counties in Jizhou were transported to Yecheng, and Yecheng could stick to it.
Otherwise, even Zhang Xun, Tian Dan, Shen Pei, etc. would not be able to defend Yecheng.
At the same time, Wang Meng wanted to gamble. He sent Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Lanling king to attack Yanzhou or Xuzhou troops that might appear outside Yecheng!
"Second brother, if Chu zimou dares to cross the river to Jizhou, I will not stab him with my Zhangba snake spear!"
Zhang Fei holds the reins in one hand and Zhangba snake spear in the other. His body is majestic, similar to Dianwei. Zhang Fei is furious, and he is also a human giant!
"Third brother, the two military divisions advised us to be careful and retreat immediately if it is not favorable. I think the two military advisers are over thinking. I can take the head of the enemy's general from all the armies, not to mention the two of us. "Guan Yu did not even need to hold the reins, but stroked his beautiful beard and beard with his hand. He did not care much about the advice of Wang Meng and Chen Xi.
"The two generals, Xuande and the military division told me again and again. Have you forgotten?"
Seeing that Guan and Zhang were overconfident in their own force, King Lanling took out the words of Liu Bei and Wang Meng to remind Guan Zhang.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei still listen to Liu Bei's words, which makes them calm down a little.
Twenty thousand cavalry broke through Taihang Mountain and drove Ye City directly.
The general of Yecheng is Gao Gu, Han qiehu and the judge. Gao Gu's political value was very high, and he was also a leading talent. He calmed the hearts of Ye City and made them calm down a little.
He was responsible for bringing in Hebei aristocratic families, strengthening the city defense, and making Yecheng an iron wall.
Han jiehu provides military protection. If Chu Tian's insiders want to assassinate Gao Gu and match him, they will be killed by Han Qihu and his Sui cavalry.
Three people cooperate with each other, Yecheng is solid.
Basically, Yecheng has as much grain and grass as he can keep it until when he can.
Different from the local princes, the players will not starve to death for defending the city. When the food is finished, they will surrender.
This is an unwritten tacit understanding between the Eastern Han Dynasty princes.
"My Lord, cavalry, white cavalry!"
The city gate official made a report to the judge in a hurry.
The trial and match were carried out in a hurry to get to the city.
Zhao long has been intimate with the judge for several years. Before Yuan Shao came to Hebei, Zhao Long made friends with him and tried to match him. Now he uses Hebei aristocratic family again. I'm afraid the loyalty of Zhao long to Zhao long must be above Yuan Shao.
Zhao long left him to guard Yecheng and devoted himself to the trial and match. When he heard the speech, he was duty bound.
I saw a white cavalry on the outskirts of Yecheng!
Looking around, the sea is white, silver armor and white robes reflect the sun, and the eyes of the defenders are painful.
Although the white robed army didn't do it on purpose, it was really dazzling. The white robed army is not only crushing in momentum, but also bringing physical damage to the defenders
"This cavalry regiment is really swaggering. It is said that Gongsun Zan of Liaoxi is a white horse general, but now it seems that these powerful generals in the city are the real white horse generals. "
He rubbed his aching eyes and avoided looking directly at the white robe army.
Gao Gu and Han capture the tiger to ascend the city and observe the vanguard forces of Chu Tian.
In the past battles of Chu Tian, the white robe army was the vanguard, and many counties and counties directly fell on the wind.
Unless a strong city, otherwise no one can be in the vast white ocean brought by the visual shock.
"Lord Gao, the last general is willing to lead a cavalry out of the city and break it!"
Seeing that the Baipao army was strong and courageous, Han chuhu took the initiative to fight Gao Gu, who was in charge of the defense of Yecheng.
"No. The enemy's momentum is fierce, and it is obvious that they are prepared. "
Gao Gu stopped Han's dangerous attempt to capture the tiger.
According to his intelligence, the Baipao army is the main cavalry army under Chutian, and the three generals are all outstanding. Han jiehu's leaving the city has only one way to die.
"Garrison barracks and occupy important places, villages and towns nearby."
Chen Qingzhi didn't lead the white robed army to the lower part of Yecheng. He wanted to make preparations for the arrival of the rear army, including but not limited to selecting the camp location of 300000 troops, protecting food channels, occupying important areas, observing the actual situation of the garrison
"Liu Bei's army is going south to support Yecheng. Although we can't get the exact progress, we should prepare for the worst According to my estimation, if he sends a light cavalry, he will be able to resist Yecheng in the near future
Chen Qingzhi thought about it, and repeatedly told Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun to strengthen patrol and widely spread scouts.
As Chen Qingzhi expected, the cavalry of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and King Lanling crossed Taihang Mountain, less than 200 li away from the white robed army!
