Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 453: Chen Qun and his son
After several tugs, Wu Jie's army retreated, and the Xuzhou army captured Bowang and controlled the pass leading to Xianghan.
Bowang faces Funiu Mountain to the north, Yinshan Mountain to the south, and Baihe River to the west. The Jingzhou coalition forces must pass Bowang if they want to conquer the Central Plains.
The Central Plains army can also pass through Bowangpo, enter the Nanyang Basin, and attack Jingxiang.
Chutian asked everyone to rest in Bowang and inquire about the enemy's deployment in Wancheng.
Wancheng is no longer Chutian's sphere of influence.
Xia Xia Liang led an army from behind to join Chutian.
"When I was in Xuchang, the players in the back got information that Tang got the defender Zhang Xun after the national war. Although Zhang Xun is not a particularly powerful commander, his ability to defend the city is top-notch. It is very likely that Tang will make him guard. Stationed in Wancheng."
After Xia Xia Liang entered Xuchang, he obtained information from Xuzhou players and brought the information to Chutian Camp.
"Zhang Xun? His reputation is not very good..."
Chu Tian remembered this man. In order to defend the city, all the people in the city died. He was probably the most ruthless defender.
However, unless the player princes have a deep hatred between each other, they should not reach that point. After all, there is only the concept of Huaxia among players. As for who unifies Huaxia, it is not a problem.
Even so, with Zhang Xun's defense bonus, it is extremely difficult to capture Wancheng.
Wancheng is located in the northern part of Jingzhou, and Yang Shilang will definitely help Tang to defend Wancheng.
"There is also an important piece of information. The reinforcements of the Jingzhou Army have assembled in Xinye and are ready to support Wancheng."
"As a result, we can only give up attacking Wancheng."
Chutian is not yet capable of attacking Jingzhou, and once it fights with the giant Jingzhou, it will miss the opportunity to annex Hebei.
In Chutian's strategic plan, Hebei has a higher priority than Jingxiang.
Wancheng has assembled nearly 200,000 people, Xinye has tens of thousands more, and Xiangyang, Jiangling, and Jiangxia are still deploying troops in the rear. Wancheng, with its guards, will become a meat grinder, and all Chutian's main force will be handed over to Wancheng. city.
Chu Tian stared at Xia Xia Liang: "From your point of view, how should it be?"
"Defend Fangcheng Xia Dao, and in addition to sow discord, Jingzhou will fight Jiangdong and Yizhou. Tongque is about to unify Jiangdong. As long as he cannot expand to Jiangbei, he can only march to Jingzhou... As for Tang, we You can also draw in."
Xia Xia Liang gave her opinion.
The "Xia Dao of Fangcheng" she mentioned is the area around Bowangpo, which is the key point for entering and leaving Jingxiang.
Fang Xuanling and Xun You nodded slightly after hearing her opinion.
This is probably Chutian's view.
To deal with Shuotang, in addition to using force, it is also possible to use the Huairou policy.
Chutian needs a general to be stationed at Bowang, to guard the Xia Road of Fangcheng, and prevent the Jingzhou army from entering the Central Plains.
"Xiahou Dun and Li Dian can keep their eyes open."
Chu Tian sent two generals to guard Bowang to block the exit of the Jingzhou army, and then sent another general to guard Xuchang, ready to support him at any time.
"Change Xuchang to the seat of Yingchuan County."
After making up the idea of retreating, Chutian changed the administration of Yingchuan County without authorization, and planned to station fields and garrison troops in Xuchang.
The terrain around Xuchang is flat and suitable for planting fields. Kong Ni, Yuan Shu, and Said Tang once settled in this area, but now they are all cheaper in Chutian.
The information brought back by the iron eagle scouts who went to Wancheng for reconnaissance is almost the same as the information inquired by the players behind. Wancheng has complete fortifications, and in Xinye, a reinforcement force of about 70,000 to 80,000 people gathered. Under the command of Ping and other generals, he was ready to go north for reinforcements and turn Wancheng into an Asura field.
Tens of thousands of people in Runan County used the teleportation array to reach Wancheng to reinforce the city's defenses.
After confirming that the news was correct, Chu Tian secretly quit his division, commanded the army in person, and moved to Xuchang.
Yuzhou was basically occupied by Chutian, but people's hearts were not settled. Chutian needed to sit in Yuzhou and readjust the bureaucratic structure of Yuzhou.
"Chu Zimou has retreated!"
Yang Shilang of Wancheng said that Tang was relieved when he learned that Chu Tian had withdrawn, but he couldn't help but feel regret.
If we can fight a battle between Jingzhou and Chutian, we may be able to turn defeat into victory.
"My Yuzhou army has run out of morale, and for a year and a half, I can't make progress in the Central Plains."
Said that Tang counted his troops and suffered heavy losses.
Because it is said that Tang has been operating in Runan County for many years, he is very popular, and about 50,000 people come to him.
However, Tang found that one of the most important characters was missing, that is, Feng Yi, the general of the big tree.
Feng Yi is his commander-in-chief second only to Guo Ziyi, and he is also loyal to Tang. If Feng Yi didn't come to Wancheng, then there was only one possibility—to die in battle or to be captured.
Not only Feng Yi, but the teleportation formation in Runan County has failed, which means that Pingyu (Zhumadian), the government seat of Runan County, has fallen. Even if there are still people who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, they are blocked in Runan County and cannot come to Wancheng.
"Feng Yi, Cheng Yaojin and the entire Yuzhou... This time the loss is quite large."
Said that Tang's mentality was on the verge of collapse.
He finally occupied Yuzhou and worked hard to manage Runan County for many years, but Chutian was so cheap.
The population and agriculture of Runan County are quite good under the management of Tang Dynasty, maybe even richer than Langya Kingdom.
"Since Chu Zimou has retreated, then I will return to Xiangyang, and Nanyang County will be handed over to you to defend. This time, my loss is not small."
Yang Juro also sighed.
Yang Yanzhao was arrested, and all the legions had their soldiers and horses damaged.
At this time, he can only keep Jingzhou by cooperating with Shuotang.
Said Tang asked: "What are you going to do? Only Jingzhou, not Chu Zimou's opponent."
"Put fields in Xiangyang, Jiangling, and Dongting Lake to train navy. If possible, unify the south of the Yangtze River, or, when Chu Zimou's main force attacks Hebei, then enter Tuyuan."
Yojuro begins to retreat.
…
Runan County, Pingyu City, soldiers are approaching the city.
The city gates opened, and a group of officials came out to surrender to the Yanzhou and Xuzhou coalition forces.
Not everyone is willing to follow Shuo Tang, after all, the person who knows the current affairs is Junjie.
Two of the civil servants held the official seal of the Yuzhou shepherd, representing the officials of Yuzhou, and welcomed the army into the city.
"Who are you?"
Cao Cao wore a red robe and narrowed his eyes.
The father and son replied, "Chen Ji and Chen Qun from Xu County, Yingchuan, are officials of Yuzhou shepherds, and Yuzhou shepherds abandoned Runan, so they are willing to surrender to Yanzhou shepherds."
"It turned out to be Chen Ji."
Cao Cao had an impression of this scholar who used to be active in Luoyang.
Chen Ji and Chen Qun and their sons are members of the Yingchuan family.
The most active families in the world are Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Runan.
Chen Ji and Chen Qun and their sons not only presented the official seal of the Yuzhou shepherd, but also handed over the account books that recorded the money and grain of the people in the counties and counties of Yuzhou.
It is said that Tang, as a player lord, implements policies that are basically the same as those of Chutian, such as population statistics, the combination of the inspection system and the imperial examination system...
Of course, the winner takes all, saying that all the achievements of Tang's farming have become Chutian's trophies.
…
In Yecheng, Jizhou, Zhou Yafu's troops approached the city, causing panic among the defenders in the city.
This is the second time Ye City has been besieged.
It was not someone else who led the way, but Xu You, a counselor who went south to join Chutian.
Xu You tried to convince the defenders, but Zhao Long had already replaced Gao Jiong () and Han Zhuhu. All the gates were from Zhao Long, and Xu You could not shake the Ye city defenders.
Zhou Yafu saw that Zhao Long left 30,000 soldiers to guard Yecheng and 15,000 soldiers to guard Handan. They were each other's horns and it was difficult to capture for a while, so he changed his tactics.
He brought civilians from Liyang to harvest the wheat in the Yecheng area, and took away part of the wheat planted in Yecheng this year, leaving Yecheng in a situation of food shortage.
Not only that, Zhou Yafu also relocated the people of the villages and towns near Yecheng to fill the population of Liyang and strengthen Liyang.
When Han Zhanhu saw this, he couldn't help being furious. He led a team of cavalry out of the city to attack Zhou Yafu's camp.
Zhou Yafu set up an ambush to attack Han and capture the tiger.
Han Chahu originally wanted to capture Zhou Yafu alive by attacking Zhou Yafu's flag.
However, Chu Tian specially arranged Li Guang as Zhou Yafu's lieutenant to protect Zhou Yafu and strengthen the offensive capability of Zhou Yafu's army.
Li Guang nearly shot Han Chuanhu with one arrow, but Han Chuanhu fled back to Yecheng after leaving hundreds of cavalry casualties.
Zhou Yafu continued to harvest wheat and migrate people in a hurry.
According to Du Ruhui's rough statistics, a total of 60,000 people and 150,000 units of grain and forage were captured, enough to cover the annual cost of 150,000 people.
In order to ensure that Ye City is safe, Gao Jong and Han Zhanhu can only defend Ye City and dare not leave the nest. Just like Xu You's judgment, Yecheng's heart was undecided. Once Gao Jong and Han Zhanhu led the main force out of the city to fight Zhou Yafu, most of the rebels would occur in Yecheng, so Gao Jong did not dare to take risks.
Han Zhuhu was brave, but he was controlled by Gao Jiong.
Gao Jong believed that Han Zhanhu was not Zhou Yafu's opponent, so he only gave Han Zhanhu part of his troops and kept harassing the team that Zhou Yafu sent to harvest wheat.
Zhou Yafu was attacked by Han Chuhu and couldn't take all the wheat, but he had already dealt a big blow to Yecheng.
The harvested fodder is enough for Li Yang's defenders for a year.
In addition, Du Ruhui organized the people's husbands to dig a canal and introduce Qishui into Baigou while Zhao Long went north to confront Huma and Yecheng was too busy to take care of himself, so that the water level of Baigou rose.
Baigou connects Yanzhou, Liyang, and Yecheng, which means that after the water level of Baigou rises, grain ships from Yanzhou can enter Jizhou. In the future, Chutian's main force will pacify Hebei, and there is basically no need to worry about the shortage of food and grass.
This is also part of Xu You's plan.
In order to defeat Huma as soon as possible, Zhao Long paid a lot of price for himself. Not only did he compromise with Liu Bei and Tian Qi, but he also surrendered Li Yang and was occupied by Zhou Yafu.
Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui were making small moves right under his nose, but he was unable to split up to defeat Zhou Yafu.
Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui were obviously preparing for Chu Tian to settle Hebei.
Under the management of the two men, Liyang City became a fortress in Hebei, and grain ships continued to enter Baigou to transport soldiers, grain and weapons to Liyang...
"Damn, Zhou Yafu, and Du Ruhui..."
At this time, Zhao Long, who entered Changshan and confronted Huma, received a report from his confidant Gao Jiong. His spies in Chutian had obtained corresponding information. Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui were the two who captured Liyang.
Zhou Yafu played a stable role and wanted to severely damage Zhou Yafu and drive him from Hebei to Henan, unless Zhao Long personally led the army south.
Du Ruhui, who has never had a sense of existence, is a difficult character for Zhao Long.
There are too many advisors and ministers under Chu Tian's command, and Du Ruhui doesn't usually have many opportunities to perform, so many people forget that Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling are advisors of the same level, and they are also literary ministers.
When Du Ruhui had the opportunity to be on his own, he became a big devil who gave Zhao Long a headache.
A character who is good at both resourcefulness and internal affairs, paired with the calm Zhou Yafu, he lives in Liyang, Hebei, and cannot be chased away.
"Let Gao Jong and Han Zhanhu continue to defend according to the established plan. Yecheng is the most important, and some food and grass are lost, and they can also be shipped from other counties."
Zhao Long was upset by Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui, and still focused on defeating Huma.
Liu Bei and Tian Qi received the promise of Zhao Long to split the soil and seal the king, and led some troops to support Zhao Long and start the battle of Changshan with Huma.
This is a game between Jizhou and Bingzhou.
Jizhou Zhao Long had the upper hand.
Zhao Long not only owned most of the land in Jizhou, but also occupied half of Youzhou. He had Liu Bei and Tian Qi as minions, and Huma only had Bingzhou.
Hu Ma originally took advantage of Zhao Long and Yuan Shao's rivalry to attack Jizhou.
However, Zhao Long quickly captured Yuan Shao and annexed his followers, resulting in a very embarrassing situation for Huma.
Huma's Bingzhou army invaded Changshan country in Jizhou, Zhao Yun's hometown, and Zhao Long had assembled troops from Jizhou and Youzhou, and had a confrontation with Huma's Bingzhou army in Changshan country.
"Yuan Shao failed too fast, I am not the opponent of Zhao Long, Liu Bei, Tian Qi..."
Huma was timid in the face of Zhao Long's army.
He owns Li Mu and Lian Po, and should have annexed Jizhou in one go, but Zhao Long has Yang Su under his command who is not under Li Mu and Lian Po~IndoMTL.com~ Yang Su is a ruthless man, the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen Dynasty , The marching marshal of the unified China, later defeated the Turkic Datou Khan, suppressed the rebellion of the Han King Yang Liang, fought in the south and the north, won a hundred battles, and entered the prime minister.
In addition to Yang Su, Zhao Long also subdued the Hulu Mingyue, Lanling King, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Ju Yi and other fierce generals under Yuan Shao, as well as Liu Bei's Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wu Han, Ashina Society Er, Tian Qi's generals Tian Ji, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, Guyezi and others helped.
"Taiyuan urgent report, the southern Xiongnu tribe rebelled again, and the Montenegrin army has a tendency to attack Taiyuan!"
Huma was about to give it a shot, and when he fought Zhao Long to the death, the backyard caught fire again!
Huma's face was gloomy. This was the second time Zhao Long used diplomatic tactics to play tricks on him.
The Bingzhou army had to retreat back, otherwise once Taiyuan fell, the Bingzhou army would be trapped in Jizhou and homeless.
"The Bingzhou Army has retreated!"
"The time has come to pacify the state."
Zhao Long ordered Liu Bei to turn to the left, Tian Qi to the right, and himself to the center to attack the Bingzhou army together.
The three-way army marched in unison, and the Bingzhou army, which was shaken by the army, was defeated again!
Zhao Long took advantage of the situation to recover the well and enter Bingzhou!
Liu Bei was stationed on his horse and watched the mighty Jizhou army attack Taiyuan County from the Jingjing Trail. He couldn't help feeling: "Two military advisors, the north is really a land of tigers and wolves."
Liu Bei thinks that his talent is not weak, but in the north where there are many heroes, it seems that he can't take advantage of it.
Chu Zimou of Xuzhou held Cao Cao in Dongjun for friction, while Zhao Long of the north was so powerful that even Huma, who possessed Li Mu and Lian Po, was twice defeated by him.
