Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 361: Xuzhou or Guanzhong? Cao Cao’s painful choice
The latest website: "This army is indeed the army sent by Yuan Shao to support Cao Cao.
Chutian's army swept the entire battlefield, captured thousands of war horses from Jizhou, and captured more than 20,000 people. Through the captives, Chutian obtained more detailed information.
"Lord, capture the enemy general alive!"
Tai Shi Ci brought over a captured general. The military general was afraid of Chu Tian's momentum, and was frightened by the Hu Ben army. He knelt down in front of Chu Tian with a stench.
"Yuan Shao's general?"
Chu Tian rode a war horse and looked at the timid general.
It would be best if Gao Su, the King of Lanling, could be captured alive. Gao Su has decent force and also has special units. But the military general in front of him, who was frightened by the shit, was obviously not the King of Lanling. If he was the King of Lanling, this attitude would be too degrading.
"Who are you?"
"The villain Lu... Lu Kuang, the commander of Duke Yuan..."
"Lu Kuang?"
Chu Tian vaguely thought that there was such a person. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were the subordinates of Yuan Shao's son Yuan Shang. Later, after Yuan Shao's defeat, they joined Cao Cao.
This is also a historical military general.
"Be loyal to me and spare your life!"
Chu Tian wanted to see Lu Kuang's panel, so he planned to spare Lu Kuang's life.
"The villain is willing to surrender, willing to surrender!"
Seeing that he could survive, Lu Kuang immediately surrendered to Chutian.
Chu Tian couldn't help muttering in his heart. It would be nice if all the captured generals could surrender so neatly. However, few true loyal generals would surrender easily like Lu Kuang.
[Name]: Lu Kuang
[Identity]: Yuan Shang's subordinate, later joined Cao Cao
[Rank]: Gold (Infantry)
[Loyalty]: 50
[Commander]: 56 [Force]: 68 [Intelligence]: 23 [Politics]: 22 [Charm]: 21
“…”
Chu Tian recruited and surrendered a general similar to Mi Fang. Lu Kuang's loyalty is very low, and he may defect at any time.
Lu Kuang has value worth utilizing, and Chutian asked him to surrender all the captured Jizhou soldiers.
This group of Jizhou soldiers can act as cannon fodder for the attack on Puyang City.
Lu Kuang took the initiative to ask Chutian: "I wish to be the vanguard and lead troops to attack Puyang City!"
"General Lu is unparalleled in strength, and only Cao Mengde is a mere man. It is not worth General Lu to be the vanguard. Taishi Ci, you lead the Yueqi battalion to clear the way."
Chu Tian appeased Lu Kuang. There is no doubt that after acquiring Mi Fang, Wu Anguo, and Gongsun Ao, Chu Tian got another divine general, and he would soon be able to gather the five tiger generals.
Lü Kuang was terrified and feared Chutian more than his loyalty, so he followed Chutian to attack Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao's 50,000-strong army was almost wiped out south of the Yellow River. King Lanling, one of the three famous generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was defeated, and Zhu Ling and Fengji fled.
When Yuan Shao learned that the 50,000 army he had managed to piece together was annihilated just after crossing the Yellow River, Yuan Shao, who was in the crusade against Zhongshan, was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
50,000 troops, that's 50,000 troops, and they were wiped out like this!
The sphere of influence of Chu Zimou in Xuzhou is like a bottomless pit. No matter how many troops enter the sphere of influence of Chu Zimou, the entire army will be wiped out.
The number of enemy troops eliminated by the Xuzhou Corps was not in the millions, but in the hundreds of thousands.
"The subordinates once said that the lord should gather all the troops and go south to support Cao Mengde. The lord would not listen to the words of the subordinates and attack Jizhou from the north. The subordinates also said that if they are determined to take Jizhou, they will concentrate all their forces and fight quickly. Quick decision, we should not divide our troops to go south. Even if we divide our troops south, we can defend the white horse and make an offensive to threaten Xuzhou animal husbandry. However, Duke Ming will not listen, but he has to believe what Guo Tu said.”
Ju Shou and Tian Feng complained about Yuan Shao.
Guo Tu had a look of fear, and said to Yuan Shao: "Our army is newly defeated. Ju Shou and Tian Feng don't want to worry about how to share the masters.
Ju Shou and Tian Feng were annoyed: "Guo Tu, you're talking nonsense, when will I have any objections?"
"Enough!"
Yuan Shao was provoked by his advisors.
The external defeat, the internal quarrel, gave Yuan Shao a headache.
Chutian has great prestige, and has a group of elders to follow, and also has characteristics such as "Han Wu", "four generations and three princes", "female protagonist approaching the dynasty" and other characteristics to suppress various families, as well as Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and other civil servants Reconciling the contradictions of various families, temporarily without Yuan Shao's troubles.
As long as Chutian keeps winning, the families will shut up.
The defeat of Yuan Shao will intensify the conflict between the factions of the family.
"To run Hebei with all my strength, let Cao Mengde and his generals come to Yecheng to join me. I ask the court to make him the general of Yanzhou Mu and Zhendong. Let him still lead the troops."
Yuan Shao did not dare to continue sending troops to this bottomless pit in Henan, so he decided to write a letter asking Cao Ying to be a guest general, to give up Dongjun and come to Yecheng to conspire together.
"Yuan Shao was defeated? I advised him not to split his troops south to fight against Chu Zimou, but he just didn't listen. Now that's good... If Yuan Shao did his best, he could force Chu Zimou back..."
In Handan, Jizhou, the alien lord Zhao Long, who served as a general under Yuan Shao, heard the person opposite him mentioning that Yuan Shao sent an army of 50,000 troops to Chu Zimou, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The person opposite said: "Yuan Benchu is stubborn, and he is not as good as the lord. The lord can take his place."
Zhao Long poured wine for the man: "Although I have you, just like Liu Bang has Han Xin, but I want to win Yuan Shao's civil servants and generals. Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Ju Yi, Gao Lan, Shen Pei, Gao Su (King of Lanling, three famous generals in Northern Qi), Hu Luguang (marksman, three famous generals in Northern Qi), etc. can be reused. Some of them are loyal and not easy to give in. I need to be more reasonable. The way to enter Jizhou.”
The man said: "Since the lord wants to obtain Yuan Shao's civil servants and generals, then careful planning is required."
"I heard that some of Cao Cao's foreign disciples recruited assassins. It was with the help of the assassins that Cao Cao had the opportunity to capture Yanzhou. If the assassin was recruited to my sect..."
"Could it be that the lord wants to use an assassin to assassinate Yuan Shao?"
"This is a trump card that I have to use... Shen Pei's nephew Shen Rong has been bought by me. Once Yuan Shao and I have won the entire Jizhou, it is time to act. Yuan Shao's peak was also his demise. time."
Zhao Long is very reliant on the subordinates in front of him. This is the emperor-level commander he won after the Battle of Mobei.
Dongjun, Puyang City, Cao Cao, the first hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty, frowned.
He also learned that Yuan Shao's reinforcements were wiped out as soon as they arrived in Henan, and he was even more afraid of Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou. In Cao Cao's eyes, Chu Zimou, who participated in the Battle of Mobei together and suppressed Cao Cao for two consecutive years, is comparable to the Han God of War.
Pang Juan, who lost more and won less, came back again. Guo Jia served as Pang Juan's military advisor again, and surrounded Puyang with Pang Juan, making Puyang's teleportation array invalid.
Guo Jia, who was supposed to be Cao Cao's military adviser, turned to surround Cao Cao, making people suspect that this was deliberately done by Chu Zimou.
"The reinforcements sent by Yuan Benchu were defeated by Chu Zimou's cavalry. He persuaded me to lead the remnants of the army to Yecheng. What do you think?"
Cao Cao hesitated after receiving Yuan Shao's proposal.
If it were the usual Cao Cao, he wouldn't be so indecisive, but this decision will determine his life. Not only Cao Cao, but also the fate of Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and other clan generals.
Will Chu Zimou use him after he surrenders? Will Cao Cao's clan generals be reused? If no one can be reused in Chu Zimou's power, then the Cao family and the Xiahou family can bid farewell to the aristocratic family in the future.
Cao Cao considered not only his own interests, but also the interests of his family.
Xun Yu said: "Yuan Shao's troops are numerous but the laws are not in order, and the civil servants and generals are intriguing and intriguing. As for Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they are nothing but the bravery of their husbands. The only ones worthy of use are Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Zhang He, and Gao Su. But Yuan Shao doesn't know how to use people, so he will definitely be taken advantage of by others. Sooner or later, he will become a prisoner of aliens, so why should the lord take refuge in a dying person?"
Cao Cao asked, "Since Yuan Shao is about to die, who does Wen Ruo think he can go to seek refuge with?"
Xun Yu replied: "The commander of the commander Sili governs Guanzhong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, relying on the emperor to make no ministers, and help the Han family, Yuan Chang (Zhong Yao) has written many times to come, asking Wen Ruo to go to Guanzhong. If the lord intends to help the Han family, perhaps it would be a good choice to go to Guanzhong to join the commander-in-chief of Sili.”
"Help the Han room..."
Facing Xun Yu's proposal, Cao Cao fell into deep thought.
Xun Yu came up with an idea and thought that Cao Cao could go to take refuge with the old Qin, who was in the middle of the pass.
Cao Cao still has some delusions of helping the Han family, but he can't help but hesitate when he thinks of Luoyang, the **** capital that was reduced to ashes in the fire that day.
The prosperous capital of the country was easily burned by a prince. The emperor was first manipulated by Dong Zhuo, and then by Jijie Lao Qin. Did Jijiu Lao Qin really intend to help the Han family? Can the Han Dynasty be defeated by ZTE for the second time?
Xun Yu and other Yingchuan gentry probably still have the idea of revitalizing the Han Dynasty. After all, Yingchuan gentry played an important role in the Eastern Han court, and they did not want to lose their former glory.
Jijiu Lao Qin had a fatal attraction to Xun Yu and this group of scholars under the banner of the Great Han Emperor in Chang'an. Therefore, Cao Cao was not at all surprised that Xun Yu proposed to go to Guanzhong. Perhaps, for Yingchuan scholars, it seems to be more in line with their interests to rely on Jiujiu, who has the emperor, and reuse the Yingchuan and Runan families instead of the Guanzhong family. Apart from Li Si, Jiujiu Lao Qin has no interior minister. If he turns to him, the influence of the Yingchuan and Runan gentry will be even greater, and they will become Jiji Lao Qin's core group.
Zhong Yao was helping Jijiu Lao Qin to recruit nobles from Yingchuan and Runan, and Xun You, Xun Yu and others were affected.
Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou is also an important choice for the nobility, but Chu Zimou's team is dominated by the elders of Langya and Xuzhou aristocratic families. If Yingchuan and Runan families join Chu Zimou's forces, they will definitely become vassals , was overwhelmed by the elders of Langya and the Xuzhou family, and only ranked third in the power of Chu Zimou. This is unacceptable to the Yingchuan and Runan families who once controlled the Han court.
Cao Cao, who is about to surrender, has no right to interfere with the choice of the Xun family in Yingchuan. Once Cao Cao surrendered, he himself was only a subordinate of other princes, and Xun You and Xun Yu would become their ministers.
Most disciples of aristocratic families will give priority to the interests of the aristocratic family, followed by individuals.
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and sighed: "If Wen has the talent of Wang Zuo, no matter where he goes, he will be used highly. It is me, Cao Mengde, who is incompetent and let down Wen Ruo's great talent. Soon, we will no longer be equal to each other. Over the years, you have fought hard, but you have always been trapped in the East Commandery. It's really my Cao Mengde who can't help you..."
Cao Cao said that he was deeply in love, and he couldn't help weeping.
They were born and died for years, only to fall apart.
Everyone burst into tears. For a long time, everyone asked Cao Cao for instructions: "Please make a decision as soon as possible, my lord, I am willing to accompany you."
Cao Cao wiped away his tears with his robes. After years of hard work, it was difficult for him to reveal his true feelings. Go to Chenliu and join us! If Chenliu is also besieged by Chu Zimou in advance, all the generals will go directly to Guanzhong!"
"Listen to your orders!"
All civil servants and generals are ready to go to Guanzhong.
Dongjun's teleportation formation failed because Puyang was besieged, so they could only go to Chenliu. If Chen Liu's teleportation formation also fails, they can only go to Guanzhong on foot.
Cheng Yu, Man Chong and other Yanzhou nobility are hard to say about Cao Cao's decision, and the taste is hard to understand. Different from the nobles in Yingchuan and Runan, they were not very willing to leave this acre of land in Yanzhou.
The Yanzhou nobility, such as Cheng Yu and Man Chong, still chose to act with Cao Cao.
Cao operates as a hero and has his charm.
"You have worked for me for many years, and Meng De has nothing in return. If you are willing to go to Guanzhong with me, you can go. If you want to join Chu Zimou or other princes, you will also go with you, and you will never force it."
Cao Cao gathered another group of foreign disciples who supported him and announced the dismissal of all the disciples.
The current Cao Cao has chosen to give up his status as a prince and become a general of other princes, and he does not have the capital to support many disciples.
The alien disciples looked at each other.
Who would have thought that the first hero in the late Eastern Han Dynasty would be forced to such a point?
Even before the Battle of Guandu broke out, Cao Cao was about to flee.
It's all because of that man.
"Cao Cao is going to escape to Guanzhong?!"
Chu Tian was shocked when he heard the news.
He took Cao too hastily, and Xun Yu's suggestion gave Cao Cao a new idea, causing great trouble to Chu Tian.
As the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chu Tian has been competing with Jiujiu Lao Qin, who is the second lord. Jiujiu Lao Qin is a wily old fox because he is relatively old. He annexes Dong Zhuo's forces~IndoMTL.com~ with strong soldiers and strong horses. If Cao Cao is driven to Jiji Lao Qin, Jiji Lao Qin's strength will be strengthened by at least half, and Chu Tian will be defeated. Not worth the loss.
"Order the army of military soldiers, as well as the major armies, to stop Cao Cao's army at all costs, and capture as many of Cao Cao's civil servants and generals, including Cao Cao himself!"
"In addition to persuade Cao Cao to surrender, he promises to be a guardian and general, and he will never persecute. His father is still in our Xuzhou!"
Chu Tian immediately ordered various troops to encircle and intercept Cao Cao, who fled west, and at the same time, he tried to recruit Cao Cao before Cao Cao escaped to Jiji Lao Qin's territory.
In Guanzhong, Jiujiu Lao Qin received a surrender request drafted by Xun Yu on behalf of Cao Cao, and promised Cao Cao the generals of chariots and cavalry, and senior officials who led Yanzhou shepherds, and threw an olive branch to Cao Cao. Anyway, the emperor is in his hands, even if Cao Cao is made the third Duke and the general.
"Order Meng Tian, Li Xin, Lü Bu and others who attacked Hanoi to go to meet Cao Cao... No, I will go to meet Cao Cao in person! Otherwise, Cao Cao may be intercepted by Chu Zimou!"
Jijiu Lao Qin was overjoyed. When Cao Cao came, wouldn't all his civil servants and generals come to Guanzhong?
