Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 473: Jiangdong Tigers and Timely Rain
"The last general Cao Mengde is guilty."
Cao Cao came to ask Chu Tian to apologize, and was quite embarrassed.
In this battle, two people performed outstandingly, one was Boss Cao, who was almost captured by Baibao Xianbei of King Lanling, and the other was Xiahou Yuan, who shot Guan Yu with a cold arrow.
Cao Cao's performance reminded Chu Tian of the Battle of Tongguan, when Cao Cao was defeated by Ma Chao.
It seems that in the future, Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Corps will be equipped with a fierce general.
However, a defeat by Cao Cao is not bad, it can weaken Cao Cao's influence.
"A year's salary will be deducted."
Chu Tian showed punishment and deducted Cao Cao's salary for a year. Now he is the boss.
After losing the battle, he did not demote, but only deducted one year's salary, which is enough to show Chutian's preference for him.
Cao Cao murmured in his heart, if Chu Tian was not going to take Dian Wei, he would not be so embarrassed. Cao Cao was hunted down by King Lanling, but it was too chaotic at the time. In fact, the Tiger and Leopard Army suffered little loss.
"Please ask the lord to ask Hua Tuo, the genius doctor, to help him and save Zihe."
"Zihe was seriously injured while working for me, I should save myself."
When Chu Tian saw Cao Chun who was seriously injured, he couldn't help but admire his courage.
The Cao family is full of talents, whether Cao Cao, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Cao Zhang, they are all famous generals. Just the clan of the Cao clan can form 2-3 legions.
Chu Tian asked Hua Tuo to heal Cao Chun, win over Cao Chun, and indirectly win over Cao Cao.
Because Chu Tian only symbolically punished Cao Cao and healed Cao Chun, Cao Cao's loyalty increased a little.
After disposing of Cao Cao, Chu Tian gave Xiahou Yuan a reward.
It was unexpected that Xiahou Yuan could shoot Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was seriously injured, which was a heavy blow to Liu Bei's army. Every time Liu Bei's army sent troops, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the vanguards. This time, it was estimated that Guan Yu would not dare to fight for a short time, or Liu Bei was worried about letting Guan Yu, whose military strength decreased, to fight, for fear of damaging a general.
"From now on, you are a general, and I look forward to making persistent efforts."
Chutian promoted Xiahou Yuan to be a general, as the price of severely hurting Guan Yu.
Liu Bei loses Guan Yu, and the threat will be reduced accordingly.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Xiahou Yuan surrendered to the Chutian camp, and he was promoted from captain to general, which was considered good in the treatment of surrendered generals.
A few years ago, it was quite rare to have a captain or a captain. Now Chutian's army has a bunch of generals, generals, captains, and even a few generals with miscellaneous numbers.
After Chutian defeated Liu Bei, Fang Xuanling counted the prisoners. There were about 30,000 prisoners in Liu Bei's army, with countless armors and flags, including many good horses from Youzhou.
Chutian announced the class teacher.
Because of the back road left by Wang Meng, Liu Bei was able to safely retreat to Handan and regain his strength.
He lost half of his troops all at once, and Guan Yu was seriously injured. Liu Bei didn't dare to go to support Yecheng for a while, so he had to rest in Handan for a month or two to wait for his morale to recover.
"Chu Zimou's main army fought with us in Zhangshui and Fushui. I hope that Ashina Sheer can burn Chu Zimou's food and grass smoothly along the way."
Liu Bei sighed from time to time.
He entrusted the army to Wang Jinglue, who in his opinion had a great talent, but they were all defeated by Chu Zimou and were almost wiped out by Chu Zimou in Fushui.
If he, Liu Bei, personally directed the battle, would the result be even more tragic?
Liu Bei can probably guess the result in his heart—mostly the entire army will be wiped out, and he, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will not be able to escape.
After the battle with Chutian, Chen Xi, the foreign military adviser, was silent, and he probably didn't think much of Liu Bei's army.
Now Liu Bei's army can only see if Ashina Sher, who went to attack the food and forage, can get military exploits.
Logically speaking, in this battle, Chu Zimou came out in full force, and he had to guard against the Yecheng defenders. There should not be too many soldiers and horses guarding the food and grass.
"General Ashnasher has arrived!"
When the Turkic prince Ashinasheer went to Handan to join Liu Bei, Liu Bei was full of expectations.
But when Liu Bei, Wang Meng, Chen Xi, and Zhang Fei left the camp, what they saw was a **** man.
Ashnasher's armor was torn, dozens of wounds, and a blade on his face. It is a miracle that he came back alive.
Behind Ashnasher, there were cavalry soldiers who brought food and grass for the surprise attack. Only two hundred cavalrymen survived, all of them wounded and scarred.
Liu Bei's scalp was numb and he couldn't imagine the tragic battle Ashina Sheer went through.
Ash Nasheer brought 8,000 cavalry, but only 200 cavalry came back alive!
Liu Bei had never even seen such a tragic loss ratio, a full forty to one!
"The last general was in an ambush. The opponent should use more than 30,000 soldiers and horses to block the last general's retreat with war elephants.
Ash Nasheer trembled as he described the scene. This time the night attack became his shadow instead.
Nearly, the whole army was wiped out.
"Wang Jinglue made a misjudgment and almost harmed the general."
Wang Meng felt guilty about Ashina Sheer and couldn't help but blame himself.
He secretly ordered Ashina Sheer to attack the granary of Chutian military camp, originally he would give it a shot when he was at a disadvantage. However, this time Wang Meng failed.
Xia Xia Liang directly called in a rare war elephant unit to block the exit. As a result, after Ash Nasheer discovered the ambush, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Instead, many war horses were trampled to death by war elephants.
"Mr. Bian Que, please help."
Liu Bei once again turned to the magician who had taken refuge in him for help.
Bian Que also has some admiration for Ashina Sheer, who risked his death to break through the siege: "This general is loyal to his heart and courage, and he is naturally willing to heal his wounds."
With Bian Que healing Ashina Sheer's wounds, Liu Bei can feel at ease, but thinking that both troops and horses have been defeated, he can't help but worry that it cannot be cut off.
Chu Zimou is too strong.
Not only is he strong, his subordinates are also good at fighting, and what's more, his wives and concubines can also fight...
"Alas..."
Liu Bei sighed heavily. At this time, he had a little experience of Cao Cao's crusade by Chu Tian.
Chutian class teacher returned to the camp in Yecheng and continued to prepare for the attack on Yecheng.
It will take some time for Liu Bei to recover his morale and replenish his troops. At least during this period of time, Chutian does not have to worry about Liu Bei coming to harass him.
"Gao Jiong, Shen Pei didn't leave the city to cooperate with the cavalry who attacked the granary?"
"Of course the Yecheng defenders went out of the city to meet them, but they were defeated by Jeanne and rushed back."
"Can the general who attacked the granary be captured alive?"
"You won't blame me when he escaped and only captured 5,000 prisoners alive?"
"Of course not. But...you'll be safe first, this is a military camp."
When Chu Tian returned to the Yecheng camp, Xia Xia Liang rubbed **** him.
Since the third national war, especially the appearance of Ekaterina, who is called indecent by Xia Xia Liang, Xia Xia Liang has tried every means to drain Chutian. She is really not Chutian's opponent, so she will be called Hua Mulan...
"Didn't the enemy be driven away? Or are you thinking about that nasty Ekaterina again?"
“…”
Chu Tian was powerless to refute, so he had to subdue Xia Xia Liang before he could devote himself to attacking Yecheng.
The commander of the siege is Le Yi.
In the face of a giant city that has been in operation for several years and has complete defense facilities, Le Yi may not have the confidence to quickly fall into the city.
This tough battle is a huge challenge for Le Yi.
…
In Yuzhang County, Sun Jian returned to his home in Chaisang with his son Sun Ce.
"My brother-in-law sent me to attack Huainan, and I have to obey. If you die in battle, Quan'er, Yi'er, Kuang'er, Lang'er, and a few other daughters will be taken care of by you."
Sun Jian was very loyal and promised Tongjae to attack Huainan without breaking his promise, so he returned to the mansion and said goodbye to his two wives and concubines.
Nine-year-old Sun Quan followed his mother and said to Sun Jian, "Dad, I also want to go to Hefei."
"Wait a few years for Quan'er, at least as tall as your brother, before he can go out with his father."
Sun Jian rubbed Sun Quan's head dotingly. Now Sun Quan is still a little kid.
However, in Sun Jian's opinion, Sun Ce, the eldest son, is the closest to him, no matter how brave or forceful he is.
"That's right." Sun Jian remembered Tong Que's advice to him, and looked at his daughter who had just been born, "This girl might as well be named Sun Shangxiang, how? This woman and her son are married, and our grandson family can also go out and join each other.”
"Everything is according to Langjun."
"Well, I think this woman has the appearance of a noble person."
The more Sun Jian looked at Sun Shangxiang, the more he believed in the destiny.
Some people are destined to be born with a golden spoon, while others are destined to be mediocre.
Sun Jian believes that Sun Shangxiang is the daughter of destiny and can bring great benefits to the Sun family in Jiangdong.
However, it will take at least sixteen years for Sun Shangxiang to grow up.
Huang Gai came to visit Sun Jian: "My lord, there are two people, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin from Jiujiang, who avoided the chaos and hid in Chaisang. I heard that the lord was recruiting troops and horses and was thirsty for talents, so they came to seek refuge."
Sun Jian was slightly moved: "You can invite them to the house to discuss matters, and I will see if they have real talents."
Sun Jian wants to attack Huainan. He knows that relying only on himself and the four Jiangdong generals, he may not be able to attack Hefei, which has a strong defense. He must recruit more talents to increase the odds of winning.
Not to mention that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were both from Jiujiang and were familiar with the terrain of Huainan.
Soon Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were invited to Sun Jian's mansion to meet with Sun Jian.
Both of them are tiger generals, and Zhou Tai is a fierce general, which makes Sun Jian's eyes shine.
Sun Jian even thought that Zhou Tai's force was still higher than that of the four Jiangdong generals, second only to himself.
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin both fled to Chaisang to avoid the chaos when Hou Jing, the general of the universe, was in chaos in Huainan. Hearing that Sun Jian was recruiting troops and horses here, he lacked a team, so they came to seek refuge.
Sun Jian's forces have not yet grown, so he chose to rely on Sun Jian at this time. Although Sun Jian is less likely to become bigger and stronger, it also means that he can be reused and will soon become a veteran of Sun Jian's forces.
Sun Jian intended to win over the two, so Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin joined Sun Jian.
Jiang Qin mentioned one incident: "A group of water bandits recently appeared in Poyang Lake, claiming to be Liangshanbo, and the leader seems to call himself Jiongyu Songjiang. This person seems to have a few capable people under his command, if the lord can subdue this person for his own use , perhaps attacking Huainan will have a better chance of winning."
"Song Jiang?"
Sun Jian had never heard of this person.
Not surprising though.
Throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a vast territory, there are countless bandits, water bandits, horse bandits, nomadic tribes, Shanyue, and Qiang people, and it is impossible to eliminate all bandits and water bandits in a short period of time.
Even in Chutian's territory, there are many water bandits and bandits. For example, in the Huainan area, there are bandits on every hill.
There is only Langya country in Chutian, so bandits are used to train troops for a long time, and bandits are almost extinct.
With so many water bandits, it is impossible for Sun Jian to know the names of the leaders of the various water bandits.
Zhou Tai has also heard of Song Jiang in time of rain: "He should not be an ordinary water bandit. I heard that three or four years ago, Chu Zimou of Langya State competed with Tao Qian and other alien lords for Xuzhou, and this Song Jiang was the One of the generals of the foreign lord of the East China Sea was later defeated~IndoMTL.com~ disappeared. Now it seems that he fled to Poyang Lake, recruited a few good players, and plundered the people in Poyang Lake, and he was famous for his name. rob the rich and help the poor.”
The information Zhou Tai inquired about was correct.
In the process of Chutian's unification of Xuzhou, Song Jiang caused some trouble for Chutian. However, Chu Tian's thoughts were all on Le Yi and Yang Ye, and he directly ignored Song Jiang in time, so that Chu Tian did not inquire about Song Jiang's whereabouts.
Song Jiang escaped from Xuzhou with his lord. On the way, the lord was killed by the water bandits, but Song Jiang tried to subdue the group of water bandits. He went all the way south, and finally chose Poyang Lake as a stronghold, looting everywhere for a living.
Poyang Lake was not originally the territory of Tongque. There were many lords near Poyang Lake and they attacked each other, thus giving Song Jiang a chance to rise.
Song Jiang recruited more fishermen and villagers to join his bandit army, expanding his army. At the same time, he absorbed the remnants of the surrounding lords and defeated generals. After a few years, he even gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and owned a thousand ships ( including fishing boats).
Sun Jian focused his attention on the lords who pacified Yuzhang County. If it wasn't for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's reminders, he really didn't know about Poyang Lake and Song Jiang.
Song Jiang annexed some of the surrounding lord generals, that is to say, if Song Jiang was subdued, Sun Jian's power could grow.
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were obviously ready to make a contribution before asking to see Sun Jian: "We have already figured out the location of Liang Shanbo. As long as the general intends to conquer this water bandit, the two of us can be pioneers."
Sun Jian thought for a while, and finally decided to go to attack Song Jiang, gather Song Jiang's troops, and then attack Hefei: "The two of you can lead the way, and I will lead 50,000 sailors to attack Liangshanbo."
