Chapter 310 The Housekeeping Hero of the Qingzhou Governor

"Young Master Zhao and Tian Ji have both been defeated, and only you can defend the state of Qi. Everything is entrusted to Mr.

Pingyuan Xiangtian Qi took the initiative to send a military general to the teleportation array in Pingyuan County, and bowed to the military general.

He had already heard the result of the Battle of Yingling, that Zhao Gongzi and Tian Ji's Qingzhou Army had been defeated, so he had to use his cards.

This military general was originally Tian Qi's retreat. At this time, Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou's army was as fast as the wind, invaded like fire, and had the tendency to sweep the entire Qingzhou.

Pingyuan Xiangtian Qi has been promoted to the prefect of Qingzhou, and he cannot sit back and watch Chutian occupy Qingzhou.

"My lord, please rest assured. As long as there are enough rations, even if Le Yi is there in person, the last general will be able to defend Linzi."

"I just trust Mr.'s ability, so I asked Mr. to accept orders in danger."

This military general arrived at Linzi, the seat of the Qi Kingdom in Qingzhou, through the teleportation array, and brought a large number of defending equipment parts with him.

Gongzi Wen and Tian Ji retreated all the way and saw the fortified Linzi City, which made him feel a little relieved.

Linzi City is a large city, Dorgon and Wu Sangui used crowd tactics to capture the city for Zhao Gongzi. Zhao Gongzi did not expect that Linzi would become his retreat.

He divided his troops and moved the population of villages and towns around Linzi to Linzi, ready to defend Linzi, insisting on the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields, and forcing Chu Zimou to retreat.

This time, he received more generous support from Tian Qi, the newly appointed governor of Qingzhou. Tian Qi sent a general to help him stick to Linzi.

"Which general has the confidence to stop Le Yi's offensive?"

Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but wonder.

The Xuzhou Legion rushed out, and wherever it went, they were all smashed. Unless it was a legendary general, it would be difficult to stop it.

Tian Ji did not have the cooperation of Sun Bin, and his combat effectiveness was not high. He was attacked by the guards of Chutian, Hua Mulan, and Joan of Arc, and he was quickly defeated.

However, Tian Qi, the governor of Qingzhou, was confident that this general could stop the Xuzhou Army.

If the other party is a famous general in the world, why not send him to support him as soon as possible?

Zhao Gongzi thought of this, and was a little dissatisfied with the Qingzhou governor. He said to Tian Ji: "If the Qingzhou governor has a famous general in the world, he should use it as soon as possible, instead of waiting until I am defeated, then send the famous general to come."

Tian Ji said: "This person is a defender, and only a strong city can exert his ability. Even with his help, it can't change the situation of our field defeat. Besides, Yingling is too far from our lord's territory and lacks reinforcements. Even the defenders can't hold on. Only Linzi, which is close to Jinan and Le'an, can get continuous support. As long as there are defenders in Linzi and reinforcements outside, it will be indestructible."

After hearing Tian Ji's analysis, Zhao Gongzi was relieved.

Without reinforcements, no matter how powerful the defenders were, they would be besieged for a year or two, and most of the cities would also fall.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiangyang City was attacked by the Mongolian Empire for many years, and the reason why it did not fall is that the Southern Song Dynasty court continued to send reinforcements to support Xiangyang City and contain the army of the Mongolian Empire. When Xiangyang finally fell for a few months, the reinforcements had been completely defeated by the Mongol Empire and could no longer support Xiangyang.

The prefect of Qingzhou has regarded Linzi as a fortress to block Xuzhou's Chu Zimou troops.

When Zhao Gongzi and Tian Ji entered the city, the generals sent by Tian Qi to support Zhao Gongzi were organizing soldiers and villagers to strengthen the city defense, and made Linzi an iron wall.

At present, Zhao Gongzi is still the lord of Linzi.

He took the initiative to ask the generals sent by the Qingzhou Prefect: "May I ask your name?"

The military general replied, "Tian Dan, general of the Qingzhou provincial governor's department."

Tian Dan!

This time, Zhao Gongzi completely understood why the Qingzhou prefect swore that he could defend Linzi. It turned out that the general he sent was Tian Dan!

During the Warring States Period, Shangqing Le Yi of the State of Yan led the five-nation coalition to attack Qi, broke the Qi army, and then used the Yan army to conquer the seventy cities of the State of Qi. Only the two cities of Jimo and Ju in the State of Qi were defended. Among them, the guardian of Jimo is Tian Dan.

Tian Dan defended the city, but Le Yi failed for several years. Later, King Yan passed away, Tian Dan used the alienation plan to replace the newly appointed King Yan with Le Yi, and then used the Fire Bull Array to defeat the Yan army, kill the generals of Yan, and restore the state of Qi!

If there is Tiandan to defend the city, then Linzi can indeed be as stable as Mount Tai, and there is still a chance to recover Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County.

"No wonder Tian Qi can sit on the three counties of Pingyuan County, Jinan Country, and Le'an Country. It seems that he also has several famous generals under his command."

Zhao Gongzi understood that it was not easy for Tian Qi, the governor of Qingzhou, to own half of Qingzhou.

Zhao Gongzi had Xue Wanche, Taishi Ci, Dorgon, Wu Sangui, and Guanhai under his command, who only occupied half of Qingzhou, and the princes who were able to survive were more or less supported by a group of famous generals.

Since Tian Dan is the main defender of the city, Young Master Zhao doesn't have to worry about being eliminated for the time being, so he goes to Linzi to stock up on food and grass for long-term defense.

Chutian had already led the army into Qi State and went straight to Linzi, where Qi State ruled.

He won Linzi in one fell swoop, and he owned half of Qingzhou.

"The Yellow Turban Army under Guan Hai reported that Guan Hai was killed by Xue Wanche, the commander of Zhao Gongzi's cavalry in the chaotic army."

After Chutian recruited Guan Hai to surrender, Guan Hai, who attacked without authorization, was defeated by Xue Wanche.

"Guan Hai's force is not bad, but after all, he is not the opponent of the fierce general Xue Wanche, whom even Li Shimin praised."

Chutian accidentally killed Guan Hai in battle, thinking that he could gain Guan Hai's allegiance.

Generals die in a hundred battles, and any general may die.

In the Battle of Yingling, Hua Mulan was shot by the bow and crossbow of Tian Ji's army, and she was injured. She was reprimanded by Chu Tian and kept silent.

Not only Mulan, but Joan of Arc, who took the lead in the charge, was also reprimanded.

"Given your impulsive behavior, it's an extra month before you return to France."

Chutian squeezes Joan of Arc's labor force.

Joan of Arc was very aggrieved and did not dare to refute, otherwise Chutian would find an excuse to prolong her return to France.

If not necessary, Chutian does not want this group of generals to take the lead in charging. Now the Xuzhou legionnaires are strong and strong, and they can end the battle by sending soldiers forward.

Le Yi was left in Yingling by Chu Tian to continue besieging Taishi Ci.

The Yingling that Taishi Ci was defending was a thorn in the back. If he did not attack the Yingling, once Zhao Gongzi and Tian Qi joined forces to counterattack, Beihai Kingdom might soon fall.

Chutian personally led 50,000 people to attack Qi.

Going deep into enemy territory is quite dangerous.

Chutian chased and fought fiercely all the way, and two counties in the state of Qi fell to the wind.

There are six counties in Qi State, two of which were occupied by Chutian, which is equivalent to Chutian occupying one-third of Qi State's territory.

Together with Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County, this expedition can at least incorporate the two prefectures of Qingzhou and a part of Qi Kingdom into Chutian's sphere of influence.

The territory of Chutian changed from six prefectures to eight prefectures, one part of Qi state and one part of Pei state.

Chu Tian's ambition is not only that, he wants to capture the entire state of Qi.

The army of 50,000 cavalry-based troops quickly advanced to Linzi, where Qi Guozhi was located, and they could already see the majestic city walls of Linzi and the Qingzhou bowmen deployed on the city walls.

When the Linzi defenders learned that Xuzhou Mu was going to fight in person, they were terrified and immediately closed the city gates and stood firm on the city wall. The archer boarded the arrow tower, Xiang Yong manipulated the bed crossbow, struggled to reel the shaft, and the sharp crossbow arrow aimed at the cavalry below.

The defender Tian Dan, Tian Ji, and Zhao Gongzi personally came to the city wall to observe the majestic Xuzhou army below. Even Tian Dan couldn't help but worry: "Fortunately, the enemy army is mainly cavalry, otherwise Linzi will be in danger."

"Can General Tian be sure to defend this city?"

"Nine times out of ten."

Tian Dan didn't dare to speak to death, after all, the opposite was the most powerful prince in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There was no second prince in the Eastern Han Dynasty who dared to fight against the surrounding princes at the same time. In a short period of time, he moved to the four states, defeated strong enemies one after another, and opened up three and one-third of the territory.

Tian Dan added: "We can deliberately show weakness and arrange for a small number of defeated soldiers with low fighting spirit to stand at the city wall. If Xuzhou Munchman takes the initiative to attack the city, he will definitely be frustrated. Once the enemy's morale is low, our army counterattacks, Xuzhou Muzhu Undoubtedly defeated.”

"I really want to see Chu Zimou attacking Linzi, and then getting frustrated. The last time he was frustrated was in the battle of Xuzhou. It was too smooth sailing."

When Zhao Gongzi rose, he encountered more setbacks than Chutian.

The rise of no prince in the Eastern Han Dynasty was smooth sailing, but no one cared about it.

Tian Ji speculated: "Chu Zimou is young and energetic, and he has won consecutive victories in Qingzhou. His confidence is inflated. He thinks that our soldiers have no fighting spirit and will definitely attack Linzi. We want to complete our efforts in one battle and occupy the entire state of Qi."

Tian Dan also echoed: "Young and frivolous, that's how it is. Arrogant soldiers will be defeated."

Tian Dan deliberately set a trap for Chutian, and ordered the defeated defenders from the Yingling battlefield to defend the city, lured Chutian to attack Linzi, demoralized Chutian, and then counterattacked with the Huo Niu formation.

As long as Chutian is in the game, then the Xuzhou Army will turn victory into defeat.

Zhao Gongzi looked down at the city and said, "Chu Zimou, Tian Qi has already dispatched a hero as his trump card, will you take the initiative to attack Linzi and then smash your head into blood?"

Chutian rode a warhorse to the bottom of the city and looked up at Linzi, with tens of thousands of elite cavalry behind him. He held the power of victory and won all the way, the whole army was indeed a little impetuous from top to bottom. Even Xue Rengui, Hua Mulan and others thought that Qi was within reach.

Not only that, Lu Su, who was younger than Chutian, also advocated attacking.

Fang Xuanling calmed down a little and was still observing the situation.

Chen Qingzhi and Cao Gui declined to comment. The success or failure of Xuzhou Muqi's offensive against the country has little to do with them.

"When Linzi is captured, Qi will be my ninth prefecture, and then I will attack Le'an and Jinan, and bring Qingzhou's land south of the Yellow River into its sphere of influence."

Chutian was hesitating whether to attack Linzi by force.

The Linzi defenders looked tired and had low morale. They should be Qingzhou soldiers who had fled in the Battle of Yingling. As long as a strong attack is launched, it should be easy to capture Linzi.

"My lord, Miss Xia's letter!"

When Chutian planned to attack Linzi by force, Xia Xia Liang, who stayed behind, sent someone to send a letter.

Chu Tian opened the cowhide bag and took out the letter with a hint of fragrance. Inside was Juanxiu's handwriting.

The content of the letter is probably that Xia Liang heard from the back that the Xuzhou Army was advancing vigorously, persuaded Chutian to keep calm, and told Chutian that the defender of Linzi City might be Tian Dan, a famous defensive general in history, please be careful. If you can't capture it, you can temporarily stop the advance and digest the occupied territory.

"Miss Xia knows me too."

After Chutian finished reading, it was as if someone had poured cold water on him. He was eager to unify Qingzhou and quickly calmed down.

If the information is true, Tian Dan sticks to Linzi, which has a large population, and he really can't beat him.

Not only is Chutian unable to capture, even if Le Yi wants to capture Linzi, it is difficult to do so.

"We withdrew our troops, hoarded heavy troops in Juxian County, and defended Beihai Kingdom."

Chu Tian's proposal alarmed all the generals.

Even Joan of Arc couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are we retreating when our morale is high?"

"This is an order."

"Humph……"

Joan of Arc was blocked by Chu Tian's words and muttered in dissatisfaction.

Chutian's order to withdraw troops did not satisfy the generals who were keen to open up new territories, and Lu Su also had some criticisms.

As a military advisor, Fang Xuanling seemed to see something, so he supported Chutian to withdraw his troops and consolidate the already occupied territory.

Fang Xuanling also proposed to move the population of the two counties that the Qi State surrendered to Beihai State to supplement the population of Beihai State, especially the population of Juxian County, where the Beihai State was governed. Stop the Qingzhou forces from counterattacking Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County.

Chutian agreed with Fang Xuanling's suggestion to relocate the population of the two counties of Qi to Beihai Guoju County. At present, Chutian has no shortage of land and population.

Linzi of Qi is in the hands of Zhao Gongzi. These two surrendered counties are difficult to defend. It is better to move the population away and make Zhao Gongzi feel uncomfortable.

Chu Tian patted Fang Xuanling on the shoulder. He seldom showed his closeness to his subordinates using the Inhuman Realm: "Military, I have to thank you for this."

Fang Xuanling was confused. Rao is Fang Xuanling with high intelligence, and I don't know why Chu Tian suddenly praised him.

Chu Tian handed Xia Xia Liang's letter to Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanling was relieved.

Fang Xuanling does not have the perspective of God. He is affected by the surrounding environment and can only make judgments through simple observation, and he cannot know that the other party has changed the guard. There is enough information to make an accurate judgment.

"If this Tian Dan is really a top defender, it is no wonder that Miss Xia would suggest withdrawing the army."

"If I knew that my opponent had Tiandan, I wouldn't have attacked Lazi. But we can't just retreat."

Chu Tian decided to withdraw his troops. In order to express his dissatisfaction, he ordered the soldiers to insult the defenders on the city wall before leaving.

The Linzi defenders did not dare to pursue the Xuzhou Corps, which had a large number of elite cavalry, and could only watch the Xuzhou Corps go away.

Zhao Gongzi also expected Tian Dan to stage a wonderful battle of turning defeat into victory, but Chu Zimou led his troops to slip around the city and even withdrew his troops.

"Chu Zimou is as cunning as a fox."

Tian Dan had already prepared a fire bull formation and a large number of defensive equipment, which was good, Chu Zimou was not fooled at all, and there was no ambiguity when it was time to withdraw.

Tian Ji also sighed: "This time we miscalculated."

The Chutian Army not only insulted the defenders of Linzi, but also rushed the population of the two counties of Qi State to Beihai State without rushing, doing all the bad things. The Linzi defenders were equally powerless, they dared not go out of the city to fight the Xuzhou Army.
