Chapter 857： Retreat

A teenager came to the camp outside Liucheng and met with Sun Bin, one of the teachers.

Zhuge Liang worshipped a number of civil servants and generals as teachers, and came to Liucheng to practice.

Sun Bin is also one of Zhuge Liang's teachers.

Sun Bin is now fully qualified to be Zhuge Liang's teacher.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was worth fifteen years old, and only one year remained before the time of the lord’s emergence. He joined the military in advance.

"The city of Liucheng seems extremely strong, and I must have stocked a lot of weapons and food."

Zhuge Liang went into battle for the first time and observed the city walls of Liucheng and found that Liucheng was indeed a fortress built by the Liaodong Army before, and another lone bamboo city.

The defenders of Liucheng were the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, with a tribe of two to three hundred thousand.

"Liucheng is not easy to attack, and the Liaodong army will cut off our army's rations and win the victory."

Sun Bin can see to Zhuge Liang that although Liucheng is not big, it is not easy to attack, so he is quite satisfied.

Zhuge Liang hasn't reached his peak yet, he has some insights.

"Sir, how can I capture Liucheng?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Bin.

"The defeat of the West of Liaoning, the decline of Ming Wang's prestige, the drastic changes in the East of Liaoning, the various ministries are ready to move again, such as..."

Sun Bin also looked at Zhuge Liang, hoping that he could follow his own words.

"If you provoke the relationship between the various tribes and King Ming, then Liaodong will be in chaos, and some tribes that did not agree with our terms will also compromise and surrender."

Zhuge Liang's eyes were bright, which made Sun Bin more satisfied.

"That's right. Sometimes, it might be better to retreat, but the lord hopes to get a teleportation formation here."

Sun Bin also had many considerations.

Chu Tian was in the military account, planning to calm down Liaoxi and Liaodong, and then return to Xiacheng, or turn around to deal with Guanzhong.

Ekaterina said goodbye to Chutian and returned to St. Petersburg.

The Western Continent is not peaceful either, and there are constant battles among civilizations.

"Whenever you are free, bring Peter and Anna to see me."

Chu Tian said this to Ekaterina before Ekaterina left.

Since the birth of his youngest daughter Anna, Chu Tian has not seen her several times.

Chu Tian had no opinion on Ekaterina’s naming of a son and a daughter as Peter and Anna. After all, Ekaterina was in charge of raising her. Chu Tian was just throwing his hands off the shopkeeper, and it was hard to ask Ekaterina to follow suit. Do what you want.

Before he left, Harald had another fight with Dian Wei, and the two of them had blue noses and swollen faces.

Harald can't beat Dianwei under normal circumstances, but Harald enters a violent state and can quickly equalize the gap between the two people, so Dianwei is also uncomfortable.

"If you want to see your daughter, come to St. Petersburg by yourself."

Ekaterina rolled her eyes.

Chu Tian was also considered a big heart, and he didn't even see his little daughter.

Chu Tian was helpless, the battle did not stop, and Chu Tian's avatar lacked skills.

Ekaterina led her troops to leave the camp.

"Master, there is an urgent report in Guanzhong, King Qin is unconscious, and the whole Guanzhong is in chaos!"

When Chu Tian was feeling that he had no time to clone himself, another important news came to him.

Mingguan was suppressed to Liaodong, another powerful enemy, Lao Qin, had another accident.

Last time, Old Qin was seriously ill, and Qin Jun gave up attacking Luoyang City and retreated to Guanzhong.

But this time, Old Qin was unconscious, and Qin Jun was pressured by Wu Qi and Yue Fei, and Guanzhong was in chaos.

Chu Tian keenly realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to annex Guanzhong by himself!

The Guanzhong group of dragons has no leader, so they can take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the affluent Guanzhong area.

"Could this be the so-called luck..."

Chutian suddenly opened up a two-way situation. Whether it annexed Liaodong or Guanzhong, it was a good opportunity.

"Take Liaodong first or Guanzhong first? If Lao Qin wakes up and the situation improves, then he missed the opportunity to annex Guanzhong."

Chu Tian fell into a short decision.

In theory, Guanzhong is more important.

Chu Tian immediately summoned Sun Bin, Xunyou, Zhang Bin, Fang Xuanling, Cao Ku and others.

When the young Zhuge Liang appeared in the military account, Chu Tian was a little surprised.

Unknowingly, the group of children who had runny noses at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty had grown up and were involved in troubled times.

Thinking about it carefully, Chu Tian made a private marriage contract for his son Chu Wu and Sun Jian's daughter Sun Shangxiang.

Chu Tian has also arrived in his year, and it feels quite strange to witness a group of little guys grow up.

"Kong Ming, you are here just right, and join in the decision."

Chu Tian didn't mind letting Zhuge Liang get involved in the military in advance.

Although Zhuge Liang is more adept at internal affairs, he knows a lot about things, it may not be necessary, in order to be able to understand.

"The king got the exact news. King Qin is unconscious, and it is very likely that he will... let go."

As soon as Chu Tian's words fell, the counselors present knew what it meant.

The leader of the Guanzhong Group is unconscious, and there is no better chance to annex Guanzhong.

Now the Chutian forces are in an excellent situation.

"You are summoned to decide whether to concentrate the main force and capture Liaodong City, or to move to Guanzhong and put it down?"

Chu Tian scanned the many counselors present.

Xun You, who has always been low-key, said: "The minister and Guo Fengxiao tried to separate the Wuhuan tribe. If it were not for the outbreak of the Youzhou War and the Liaoxi War, they might have succeeded. The war broke out, and the loose Xianbei tribe’s lips and teeth were cold. Under pressure, Murongke’s Under the call, we will join forces temporarily. At present, King Ming has lost his prestige. If the lord does not press too hard and continue to divorce, perhaps Liaodong will fall into chaos."

"It seems that while you and Feng Xiao are in Youzhou, you have no idea."

Chu Tian was not a mediocre person, he knew Xun You's specific suggestions.

Xun You believed that the attack on Liaodong could be stopped and moved to Guanzhong.

Although the offensive against Liaodong was stopped, divorce could still be used to disturb the pool of Liaodong and weaken the power of Mingguan.

After the Guanzhong is settled, the chaotic Liaodong will be solved, and it will be more labor-saving.

When Xun You and Guo Jia assisted in guarding Youzhou, they were not doing nothing but trying to sow discord.

Sun Bin said: "I and Kong Ming have similar ideas."

"Since you all believe that the attack on Liaodong should be temporarily slowed down at this time, and the Guanzhong should be taken first... But Liucheng must take it and have a teleportation formation, so there will be no need to transport grain and grass to attack Liaodong from all directions."

"The lord can encircle three faults and one, leave a way out for the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, and then rush into the other three directions, forcing the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes to abandon the city and flee. During the siege of Liucheng, they gathered a large army in Guanzhong and can immediately switch to battle. Guanzhong."

"Very good."

Chutian chose to occupy the chaotic Guanzhong between Liaodong City and Guanzhong.

A decisive battle broke out in Liaoxi County and Mingguan, and the losses were not unreasonable. It is estimated that the decisive battle with Lao Qin in the future will also cause considerable losses.

Now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to avoid a decisive battle with Lao Qin and capture Guanzhong at a relatively small price. Chu Tian couldn't ask for it.

"Gongda, you continue to contact the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes and try to surrender them. In the battle of Western Liaoning, our army won a great victory. The Xianbei and Wuhuan people should not dare to make any excessive demands."

Before Chu Tian started the war, he might not have recruited the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, but the conditions put forward by these tribes were difficult for Chu Tian to accept.

What Chu Tian needs is for them to surrender completely, and the nobles to hand over power, and the nobles of various tribes are not willing to hand over power at all.

Only when they are scared, will they agree to Chu Tian's harsh conditions.

In terms of power, Chu Tian generally does not regress easily to avoid endless trouble in the future.

Chu Tian asked Xun You to try to win over some Xianbei people and deal with others.

On the surface, the Xia Army continued to attack Liucheng, but in fact, Chu Tian secretly ordered all soldiers and horses to gather in Hedong County, planning to bypass the majestic Tongguan and conquer Guanzhong.

"Bring the red cannon."

Even though the number of red cannon shells was not large, Chu Tian chose to take the red cannon seized from Mingguan here, and went to deal with the Guan Zhong army, perhaps it could be used.

The last time he fought with Lao Qin, Chu Tian captured Hanoi County and Luoyang City.

During the Chutian conquest of Liaoxi, Wu Qi took almost the entire Hedong County.

Today, Chutian's goal is the entire Guanzhong.

The Mingguan forces have been maimed by Chutian, the threat has diminished, and the various tribes are ready to move. Xia Jun slowed down the pressure on Liaodong. According to the speculations of various advisers, the interior of Liaodong would fall into chaos.

"This time, UU reading , Kong Ming, follow me to Guanzhong."

Chu Tian decided to bring Zhuge Liang to experience.

The siege of Liucheng took time. Chu Tian handed over the task of siege of Liucheng to generals such as Wei Qing, Zhou Yafu, and Cao Cao. Instead of attacking, he left a gate to allow the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry to escape to Liaodong to avoid tragedy. Secondly, once the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry entered Liaodong, the conflict with Mingguan would become more intense.

Fishing in the sea, a large number of Eight Banners Cavalry, Mongolian Cavalry, and Zhao Bianqi were killed.

The battle of Liaoxi was fierce, and the battle of Yuerhai was equally fierce.

A battle broke out between Prince Yan, Huma, Nurhachi, and Wanyan Aguda. After more than 20 days of fighting, both sides lost their troops.

In the end, Nurhachi and Wanyan Aguda learned that the Liaoning-Western War had failed, so they were forced to withdraw from the fishing sea and retreat towards Liaodong.

For a time, Liaodong was also surging, and the remnants of various tribes would flood into Liaodong County. A few towns were ransacked and looted, and order was chaotic. Mingguan was already somewhat unable to suppress the leaders of various tribes.
