Chapter 175 Seeking a Position, Prime Minister of Langya

"The end will successfully complete the task of the main bus generation!"

Hua Mulan led the cavalry out of Guo to meet Chutian, her cheeks were white with cold, she should have been garrisoned at the city wall, worried that Lingcheng would be lost again. It was not until Chutian arrived that she felt a little relieved.

"You lead the cavalry with me to attack Jucheng."

Chu Tian just nodded, he can't reward Mulan more now, he can only record the credit first, and then wait for the promotion of Chu Tian's official position, and then officially canonize Hua Mulan's official position.

Some princes and lords can set up official positions in private to win over their subordinates. Chutian can be called king now, but if the title is not enough, he will be hostile to everyone, and even people's will will decline.

Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor without sufficient strength, and as a result, everyone betrayed his relatives and left.

With his current territory, Chu Tian did not dare to take the risk of the world.

"Sun Guan, you and Sun Kang are temporarily stationed in Lingcheng, and there is nothing to lose."

"Yes!"

Sun Guan and Sun Kang understood that this was Chutian's test for them, and immediately accepted it.

So Chutian was able to personally lead the main force to pacify Jucheng.

Jucheng and the five cities of Linshang, Pinglu, A, and Jimo were one of the "five capitals" of Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Even in the Han Dynasty, it was a large city, so the Langya State ruled Juxian County.

Now that the Prime Minister of Langya, Xiao Jian, has been killed by Li Guang, this is actually a difficult matter.

The status of the Prime Minister of Langya is very high, on the same level as the prefect of the county. There are only five prefectures and states in the entire Xuzhou, that is to say, there are only five state ministers or prefects, and their status is second only to the governor.

Chutian's subordinates killed a prime minister, and he was not ready to explain to the prefect of Xuzhou and the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Despite the chaos in the world, the rebels from Xiliang and the Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou killed many prefects and even prefects, but Chutian did not intend to be a rebel.

So I still have to explain to Tao Qian and the Eastern Han court why Xiao Jian was killed.

At present, there is no good reason for Chutian.

On his way to attack Jucheng, he asked the resourceful Fang Xuanling: "General Li Guang killed the prime minister of Langya, this matter will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of Tao Qian, the prefect of Xuzhou and the court, how can I get rid of the crime?"

"You can hand over General Li Guang to the court."

"No."

Chutian would not hand over Li Guang in order to kill Xiao Jian, who is probably not even a gold-level hero.

Fang Xuanling just made fun of it, and finally made a formal proposal: "The lord can forge a letter and falsely accuse Langya Prime Minister Xiao Jian of colluding with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and committing to Xuzhou in the south. Recently, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has been invincible, and most of it has something to do with Xiao Jian."

"Wonderful."

Chu Tian was very satisfied with Fang Xuanling's strategy.

Langya State is just south of Beihai State. If Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya State, is falsely accused of secretly dealing with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, then Xiao Jian will be punished.

Chutian just needs a plausible excuse. Anyway, Xiao Jian had already been killed by Li Guang, Xiao Jian could not be resurrected and defend Chu Tian, ​​he could only bear the charge of colluding with the Yellow Turbans.

"So, have I done great work?"

Chu Tian pondered for a while, Xiao Jian was the prime minister of Langya, and Chu Tian's official position was Kaiyang County Lieutenant, and Xiao Jian was the boss in the name of Chu Tian. Li Guang killed Xiao Jian, not only did he not have to bear the charge of killing his boss, but he eradicated the scourge for Xuzhou, which was undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone.

Fang Xuanling bowed to Chu Tian: "Exactly, the lord is not only innocent, but can also ask the court for a reward."

"..."

What else could Chutian say, Fang Xuanling looked personable, and as a strategist, he still had a lot of bad water.

Fang Xuanling continued: "My lord can ask the noble families in Xuzhou to prove this,

In order to take credit to the court, he won the post of Prime Minister of Langya. There are three reasons for the Xuzhou family to agree. First, the lord has already occupied the three fertile places of Kaiyang, Yangdu, and Juxian, and conquered all the Taishan thieves. In fact, he has already dominated the Langya country, and the boat is already done. No matter how the court sends other Langya ministers, the lord will be overridden by the lord. "

Fang Xuanling was telling the truth, and she was outspoken in front of Chu Tian.

To put it bluntly, Chutian controls the core area of ​​Langya Kingdom, as if it were a self-contained system. The court airborne a new Prime Minister of Langya, and when he came to Chutian's territory, he still had to look at Chutian's expression. Chutian currently does not have the name of the Prime Minister of Langya, but already has the status of Prime Minister of Langya.

In the turbulent times of the Eastern Han Dynasty, whoever has soldiers and provisions has the right to speak. As the Prime Minister of Langya, Xiao Jian is not as powerful as Zang Ba, who is stationed in Kaiyang, which is evident.

"Secondly, the Xuzhou family is afraid of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans going south and causing damage to Xuzhou. If they want to rely on the lord to defend the northern gate of Xuzhou, they must give the lord a title, right? The lord asks them for the official position of the Prime Minister of Langya, which is not excessive."

"Thirdly, the Xuzhou family doesn't care who rules Xuzhou, but whether it can ensure the interests of their family. The lord secretly made a favor to them, and they helped the lord to obtain the official position of the Prime Minister of Langya, how could they refuse the lord?"

Fang Xuanling's analysis came in, and Chu Tian couldn't help nodding secretly.

He originally planned to use his relationship with Dong Zhuo to secretly contact Dong Zhuo and ask for Lang Ya's position as the country's prime minister. Now it seems that maybe the aristocratic families in Xuzhou can help him achieve this goal.

As for Dong Zhuo, I will see if I can ask Dong Zhuo for the post of general of chariots.

Although he already has titles such as Tian Khan and Taishan Bandit Leader, Chu Tian still wants to hold the post of a general, especially the hussar generals and generals of the Han Dynasty, which sound enough to deter the opponent.

"After the capture of Jucheng, I contacted the Mi family and used the Mi family to connect with other aristocratic families to seek the Prime Minister of Langya."

Chutian still prefers the position of the prime minister (prefect) of Langya.

At the level of prefect and governor, they can already be called princes in the Eastern Han region.

In other words, Chutian could use his status as a prince to join the Kwantung Allied Forces against Dong Zhuo.

Only those lords who were officially canonized as prefects or prefects by the imperial court and possessed a certain strength would be regarded as one of the heroes.

Thinking of the opportunity to become one of the Guandong heroes in the crusade against Dong Zhuo in the future, Chu Tian couldn't help but look forward to the plot of the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Chutian has an understanding of Dong Zhuo's development.

Dong Zhuo in "Lord" is very strong with the support of the lords of Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Bingzhou. Many lords know that Dong Zhuo's plot will start soon, so they try their best to get Dong Zhuo to fish in troubled waters.

The benefits that Dong Zhuo can provide to players are that one is to confer an official position, and the other is that after Dong Zhuo's death, many lords may divide up his territory, troops, and talents.

Chu Tian thought a little too far.

He commanded the troops to the bottom of Jucheng, and was ready to storm Jucheng. But Jucheng's gates were wide open, and a group of players took Xiao Jian's 2,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to surrender.

"That idiot Xiao Jian doesn't know your reputation and seeks his own death. We are willing to give up the dark to the light."

"We have tried our best to persuade Xiao Jian to surrender, but unfortunately..."

As the players who served as Xiao Jian's disciples showed their loyalty, Chu Tian understood that these players persuaded Xiao Jian's generals who stayed in the city to surrender directly to the city.

Chutian accepted their surrender.

If you can take Jucheng without a single shot, Chutian is naturally happy.

He also underestimated his influence in the player base. Chutian's prestige is enough to make ordinary small and medium lords look down on the wind. The real enemies of Chu Tian were a group of powerful lords, or a group of lords who joined forces.

So Chutian brought troops and horses into the city and brought Ju County into his sphere of influence.

Jucheng currently has a population of 300,000.

Regardless of other things, Xiao Jian's governance in Ju County was quite good, and the population did not drop sharply because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It's a pity that he was directly cut by Li Guang.

After occupying Jucheng, Chutian faced another problem. He needed a general to guard Jucheng.

"The population of Ju County is larger than that of Yangdu County, and the grain reserves are abundant, which has not been damaged. Zhou Yafu is stationed in Ju County. As for Yangdu County, Zang Ba will lead his troops to be stationed there."

Chu Tian ordered the reliable Zhou Yafu to move to Ju County.

A very simple truth, the more the population, the more important the city, the more it is necessary to send cronies to guard it. It is enough to send general generals to the secondary cities.

Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou and his stronghold was attacked by Lv Bu. With the help of three important cities, Juancheng, Fanxian and Dong'e, he successfully defeated Lu Bu.

Chutian assigned Zhou Yafu to be in charge of pacifying the other lords in Ju County.

Xiao Jian did not attack the surrounding lords before his death, and there should be more than a dozen small and medium-sized lords in Juxian County that have not surrendered.

Zhou Yafu has suppressed small and medium lords more than once, and he has rich experience in this regard. The small and medium lords who were attacked by Zhou Yafu felt despair.

Their generals were constantly defeated by Zhou Yafu, who fought steadily, and Zhou Yafu had Chutian's support. Now he took thousands of people with him every time he went on expedition, and there was no problem in bullying small and medium lords.

Among Kaiyang, Yangdu, and Juxian, the latter Yangdu County was destroyed by the war, and its population was smaller than that of Kaiyang and Juxian, so Chutian handed over Yangdu County to Zang Ba to guard.

"The last commander will lead his troops to defend Yangdu County? The lord is not worried about the last commander..."

Not long after Zang Ba surrendered to Chutian, Chutian was relieved to hand over the important task of guarding a county to him, which made Zang Ba flattered. You must know that Zang Ba has the most influence among the Taishan thieves. If Zang Ba raises his arms, maybe the military generals who were born in the Taishan thief will be betrayed by Chutian.

"There is no doubt about employing people. You lead 3,000 infantry archers to garrison Yangdu County, to protect the territory and the people, and to eliminate bandits."

Chutian had disbanded all of Zang Ba's Taishan thieves and deployed ordinary infantry archers for him.

The existence of Tarzan thieves will degrade popular sentiment and public order.

Chu Tian re-used Zang Ba, mainly considering that he did not have much tendency to betray after he surrendered to Cao Cao, so he could use it. Furthermore, Chu Tian was really not afraid of Zang Ba's betrayal.

With Chu Tian and Zhou Yafu attacking, Zang Ba's betrayal is only a dead end.

In the eyes of other Taishan thieves, Chu Tian's move greatly reassured them. Since Zang Ba can be reused, so should they.

"I'll leave the matter here to you. I only leave seven thousand soldiers and horses for you, is that enough?"

"Enough."

Zhou Yafu's tone was flat.

After Chutian arranged Zhou Yafu to be in Juxian, he taught him there.

He believed in Zhou Yafu, and even thought that leaving 7,000 people for Zhou Yafu was too much.

In Beiping County, Youzhou, a group of Youzhou cavalry assembled. There were about ten thousand cavalrymen to defeat the Wuhuan cavalry. Hundreds of them rode on white horses and held horned bows, and rushed towards the Wuhuan cavalry. !

"kill!"

The leader of the cavalry commander, holding a spear in his hand, tried his best to assassinate more than a dozen Wuhuan cavalry.

The Wuhuan cavalry was defeated, so they began to retreat.

Gongsun Zan led the cavalry to pursue and attacked the Wuhuan cavalry!

The Wuhuan cavalry retreated all the way, and reached a hill. A group of cavalrymen ambushed in the middle rushed out, attacked the Wuhuan cavalry with Gongsun Zan, and broke it!

A military general with a Qinglong Yanyue Saber rushed in front, and the sword cut off a Wuhuan cavalry with a horse and a horse!

A fierce general with a snake spear in his hand rushed to kill the Wuhuan cavalry, and Ju Li pulled the Wuhuan cavalry off his horse!

Liu Bei, along with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and at the suggestion of the player's military advisor, applied to the court to join Gongsun Zan to crusade against Wuhuan, in order to gain military exploits and obtain excellent war horses.

Youzhou is not short of good war horses, especially the Wuhuan tribe has many good horses.

The snatch of the horses of the Wuhuan tribe was not only without fault, but also meritorious.

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan jointly attacked Wuhuan, Wuhuan withdrew from Youbeiping County and fled to Liaoxi County.

"Xuande, I didn't expect to see you for a long time, you got two fierce generals, and so many... cavalry..."

Gongsun Zan was frightened when he heard Wuhuan's killing, and seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two of Liu Bei's subordinates, were invincible to ten thousand people, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Liu Bei's cavalry commander may not be as good as Gongsun Zan, who often fights with the Wuhuan tribe, but Liu Bei has two good brothers.

In "Lord", a powerful general can play a huge role. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's bonuses to the cavalry allow Liu Bei's army to defeat the Wuhuan cavalry just now.

And Gongsun Zan did not have a capable general, and he was jealous of Liu Bei's fate.

Liu Bei has been followed by many players, and these alien military divisions have made suggestions for Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei's development momentum is very good, and there are thousands of cavalry under his command.

This made Gongsun Zan even more jealous.

Liu Bei said humbly, "It's still Bo Gui's Bai Ma Yi who is invincible, and the Wuhuan tribe fled."

Gongsun Zan invited Liu Bei: "The Wuhuan are far away, but the Wuhuan tribe must be wiped out. Is Xuande willing to go to Western Liaoning with me to encircle and suppress the Wuhuan?"

"This matter..."

Liu Bei looked at a foreign military advisor who was deeply trusted by him.

The foreign military division's judgment on the general situation was accurate, and Liu Bei reused it.

The alien military division shook his head.

Liu Bei understood: "Xuande doesn't know the roads in western Liaoning, and is afraid of dragging down Bogui. Now that the threat of Youbeiping County has been lifted, Xuande should lead his troops back to Anxi County to protect the border and the people."

"It's really a pity. With time, maybe you and I can fight side by side again."

Gongsun Zan did not force Liu Bei to follow him to pursue the Wuhuan tribe. Everyone has aspirations.

Liu Bei led his troops to leave Youbeiping County.

On the way, Liu Bei asked the foreign military advisor, "Why did you stop me from chasing the Wuhuan cavalry? Wouldn't it be better now that we can eradicate the Wuhuan threat for the imperial court and make a contribution to the cause?"

"My lord is wrong. The Wuhuan tribe has not yet declined. If Gongsun Zan led his cavalry into western Liaoning, he would definitely be surrounded by the Wuhuan. With such military exploits, he can ask the court to move the minister of Zhongshan. If he can get help from Changshan Zhao Zilong, You can get twice the result with half the effort. The subordinates have already sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhao Zilong."
