Chapter 313 The Seal

In Jixian, Youzhou, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was worried, and Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, was aggressive, and his troops had already reached Youbeiping County. Although Mingguan defeated his archenemy Gongsun Zan, Mingguan also indirectly became a powerful enemy threatening Youzhou.

If Mingguan was allowed to rule Youzhou, his Youzhou shepherd would be too incompetent.

"Zhongshan Prime Minister Liu Xuande and Chen Xi came to see him."

"welcome."

Soon, Chen Xi, a foreign military adviser who Chutian had met in Liu Bei's forces, came to meet Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou.

"Why did Prime Minister Zhongshan send you here?"

"After the Prime Minister of Zhongshan became King Jing of Zhongshan, he and Youzhou Mu are the same as royal clansmen. Now Youzhou is in trouble, so he was sent here to visit. If Lord Mu needs assistance, Zhongshan Xiang is willing to help Lord Mu of Zhou to defend against powerful enemies. "

"Liu Xuande is newly defeated, and he can't protect himself. How can you help me?"

"Zhongshan's generals are like clouds, and they have experienced hundreds of battles. The reason why they lost to Jizhou Yuan Benchu ​​is because there is no one to help you."

Chen Xi secretly accused Liu Yu of being an ally and did not send troops to help Liu Bei in time, otherwise in the battle of Julu, Liu Bei would not have lost to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's subordinates had the help of alien lords, in contrast, Liu Bei fought alone.

With Liu Bei's current power, it is quite rare to have fought back and forth with Yuan Shao. If Youzhou Mu's army of 100,000 had fought at that time, the outcome would be unknown.

In this regard, Chen Xi was deeply dissatisfied with Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou. His decision affects the pattern of Hebei.

Liu Yu was teased by Chen Xi, and immediately felt ashamed: "Thinking about what happened today is not very wise. It was actually because of the new defeat by Gongsun Zan that he didn't go south to Jizhou."

Chen Xiyou said: "Gongsun Zan is a brave and good general, but Mingguan is the prefect of Eastern Liaoning, and there is an unparalleled general under his command, Chang Yuchun. If the state shepherd cannot even defeat Gongsun Zan, how can you resist when Gongsun Zan is killed by Mingguan? It is better to worship Zhongshan Prime Minister Youzhou Changshi and General Anbei. Once Mingguan attempts to compete for Youzhou, the state shepherd entrusts the army to Zhongshan Prime Minister, and the strength of Youzhou and Zhongshan can be combined with Yuan Shao in the south, and Mingguan can be rejected in the east. This is the best policy. If you combine it, you will be strong, if you divide it, you will be weak, so don’t worry about it.”

"It makes sense."

Considering his lack of military ability, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, appointed Liu Bei as the governor of Youzhou, and listed the court as the general of Anbei.

Liu Bei's sphere of influence covered Youzhou, which caused quite a stir.

The intentions of Liu Bei's forces were too obvious to the aliens.

Liu Bei took refuge in Tao Qian and contributed to Tao Qian, and as a result he became Xuzhou Shepherd. Liu Bei joined Liu Biao and worked for Liu Biao, and he became the shepherd of Jingzhou. Liu Bei defended Liu Zhang against Zhang Lu, so he led Yizhou Shepherd.

This time, the aliens could see that Liu Bei wanted to be the next Youzhou Shepherd.

Liu Bei and Yuan Shao were at a disadvantage in the battle for Jizhou. Yuan Shao and the foreign lord joined forces, and they had a large number of troops. Liu Guanzhang, plus a Turk prince, was not Yuan Shao's opponent and could only change the direction of development to Youzhou.

Many of Liu Yu's followers persuaded Liu Yu to guard against Liu Xuande, but Liu Yu did not obey.

Zhao Long, the prefect of Wei County, heard that Liu Bei was appointed as the governor of Youzhou, and the four counties in the north of Jizhou were connected with Youzhou, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

The counties in southern Hebei panicked, Yuan Shao was even depressed, and he did not eat much for three consecutive days.

Liu Bei controls four prefectures in Jizhou and Liu Yu controls five in Youzhou. Once the two forces are completely merged,

Liu Bei, who had nine counties, could swept away Yuan Shao's forces, which had only five counties.

The strategy of Liu Bei's forces to use the corpse to restore the soul changed the situation in Hebei and gave Liu Bei a chance to catch up with Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou.

Beihai Kingdom, Yingling County, after the large-scale destruction of the army led by Le Yi, the city was basically destroyed, and the city wall collapsed for a section.

The defender Taishi Ci was captured alive by Zhao Yun and Yan Jia, and he was unwilling.

"The lord has an order to send him to Xiacheng. At the same time, his family is also sent to Xiacheng."

Le Yi received an order from Chutian.

Taishi Ci had planned to try to escape on the way, but he heard that his family was captured and transported to Xiacheng.

In Jiaodong County, Xu Sheng and Zheng Zhilong captured the city without wasting much time. The defenders had no fighting spirit, and surrendered to the wind.

"Send Kong Rong and Wu Anguo to Xiacheng."

Xu Sheng received the order and sent a team of soldiers to transport Kong Rong and Wu Anguo to Xiacheng.

Now the defenders of Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County are not only watching the wind, but also scrambling for the first place, Kong Rong has no value to use.

As for the Beihai Peerless Hammer Wu Anguo, it is only suitable for being a lieutenant or a guard, and it is really difficult for him to be alone.

Chu Tian led a group of generals to use the teleportation formation in Juxian County to return to Langya Country, and at the same time mobilized the main army to go south and change the direction of the attack.

The Leyi Offensive Corps and the Fubo Corps were left behind in the two counties of Qingzhou.

The rest of the main force gradually withdrew from Beihai Kingdom and concentrated on dealing with other princes.

Shouchun may be the next target.

"Order Chen Deng to train the Guangling Defense Corps, and if he goes to Shouchun, his defensive corps will attack Jiujiang County along the Yangtze River."

Shouchun belongs to the scope of Yangzhou, occupying Shouchun is equivalent to winning the bridgehead to peep into Yangzhou.

Chutian returned to Xiacheng, temporarily ending the expedition against the Quartet. As for Li Guang and Du Ruhui's Taishan Army to attack Jinan, Chutian let them play freely.

This is a kind of experience for them, and Chutian does not intend to let the Qingzhou governor develop well. Li Guang and Du Ruhui launched a war against Jinan, which will undoubtedly drag the Qingzhou governor into the abyss of war.

The five counties of Xuzhou, which are the basic base of Chutian, do not have the pressure of war.

The three other prefectures of Taishan County, Beihai Kingdom, and Donglai County are still fighting, and they have little impact on Xuzhou.

After the crusade against the Quartet has come to an end, Chutian needs to consider everyone's credit and promote them in order to win people's hearts.

Le Yi participated in the national war, attacked several cities in Taishan County, and broke the Gaomi and Yingling of Beihai Kingdom. After all, Le Yi was not a veteran, but a descended general, who once caused a lot of trouble to the Chutian forces, and such an official position was already a preferential treatment.

Zhou Yafu always held back Cao Cao's main force and did not give Cao Cao any chance to develop. Although he did not appear in front of Chutian recently, his credit was no less than that of other generals who attacked the city and pulled out the village. In addition, when Chu Tian became Xuzhou shepherd, he had already promoted Zhou Yafu to be a general, so Chu Tian went to the court and asked to seal Zhou Yafu as a general.

General Dangkou is more interesting. Zhou Yafu is dealing with Cao Cao, so he regards Cao Cao as a pirate.

Hua Mulan, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun participated in the national war and had the credit for defeating the Yu Jin Army and Tian Ji Army.

Li Guang participated in the national war, crusades Taishan County, marched into Jinan, and moved with the general.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan stick to Zhucheng County, and they worked hard and made great achievements. They were promoted from Duwei to Fenwu Commander and Zhechong Commander. After accumulating credit, they could be generals.

Mi Fang was originally a school captain, but because of his participation in the battle to pacify Guangling County and the battle of Pengcheng, he was promoted to Zhonglang general, not far from the general.

Xia Xia Liang still served as Prime Minister of Langya, and at the same time was appointed as a general, with a status of Ling Ran, the same level as Zhou Yafu and Le Yi among military ministers. Because Li Xiuning was attached to Xia Xia Liang and participated in the National War and the Battle of Pengcheng at the same time, he was moved to the position of General Bi.

Chutian has also made a series of appointments for military generals who have recently taken refuge in, not only considering their abilities, but also their seniority.

Yang Ye defeated Yuan Shu many times in Peiguo, he shocked Peiguo, and was directly promoted from Cavalry Commander to Zhonglang General.

Xu Rong followed Zhou Yafu to deal with Cao Cao, and repeatedly attacked Cao Cao's food route.

Hua Xiong served under Xu Rong during this period and was promoted to captain.

Chen Qingzhi had just pledged his allegiance and had not made any achievements, so he only served as the captain of the cavalry.

As the main general of Fubo Legion, Xu Sheng was barely considered a veteran and was promoted to Zhonglang general. Zheng Zhilong moved to the school captain.

Yin Li and other reserve generals who participated in a series of battles have also been promoted.

What is more special is that there is also Joan of Arc from France in the list of Chutian's promotion.

Joan of Arc participated in the crusade against Mount Tai and the battles of Pengcheng and defeated Tian Ji's army. Chutian appointed him as Colonel Yingyang. Colonel Ying Yang was Mulan's previous official position.

In addition to military officers, Chu Tian also appointed a group of civilian officials.

Zhang Hong was appointed as the chief history of Langya Xiang, Du Ruhui was appointed as the chief history of Mount Tai, and Lu Su was kept by Chu Tian as a secretary and aide to cultivate...

"Captain Ying Yang? What is this?"

Joan of Arc was inexplicably appointed as an official position in the Han Empire. She was a little confused and didn't understand the Eastern official system at all.

Chutian expressed his encouragement: "In the future, I will make more military exploits and strive to become a general as soon as possible."

"I just want to get back as soon as possible..."

"You can go down."

After Chutian informed her of her appointment as Colonel Yingyang, he drove her away, never mentioning the matter of letting her return to France.

Mi Zhu led the fleet to trade in the city of Pinghu in Dongying, but before returning, he was appointed by Chutian as "Dongdu Colonel". This is Chutian's self-appointed miscellaneous captain, who later specialized in trade with Dongying. Mi Zhu was the first captain of Dongdu.

"Send miners with the skills to explore for ore veins to go to Jiaodong area to investigate gold mines. Jiaodong should have rare gold resources."

Chutian seems to have the impression that the Jiaodong Gold Mine has been very famous since the Song Dynasty and can produce a large amount of gold every year. Corresponding to "Lord", that is high-level gold resources.

The tertiary gold mine resources of Langya country are insignificant in front of the Jiaodong gold mine. For Chutian's current forces, the third-level gold ore resources are completely insufficient.

If high-grade gold mines can be found in Donglai County, preferably grade 7 or 8 gold mines, the benefits that Chutian's forces will gain from it will be unimaginable...

"Every county state that discovers special resources should report it immediately, and must not hide it or exploit it privately, otherwise it will be punished."

The Lord's Mansion sent a large number of miners to Donglai County to explore for gold ore veins.

In addition to the Jiaodong Gold Mine, there should be many copper, iron and silver mines in the territory.

The territory of Chutian is not only a valuable mineral vein, but also depends on the sea, rich in sea salt, developed fishery, and can be traded abroad. Even if Chutian is closed to the country, it can basically be self-sufficient.

After the end of the war, Chutian devoted himself to colonizing the fields and replenishing the lost troops for the various legions.

In this battle, each legion suffered a lot of losses. Chutian's five schools of the Northern Army were reduced from 9,000 to 7,000, and Zang Ba's Langya Defense Corps was reduced from 15,000 to 6,000, which is evident.

It is said that it is farmland. Basically, Chutian is just a hands-off shopkeeper. After appointing various prefects and chief historians, they will naturally organize the refugees in the county to reclaim farmland and build water conservancy.

During this period, Taishi Ci, Wu Anguo, and Kong Rong were brought to Xiacheng. Regarding Kong Rong, Chu Tian sent him to Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, and asked Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan and others to educate him well, and no longer give Kong Rong official positions with real power.

After all, Kong Rong was a historical hero. Placing him in Xiacheng would bring a lot of bonuses to Langya Kingdom.

Taishi Ci was reluctant to surrender for the time being. But his mother was captured by the Chutian army, and Chutian was entertained by people. I believed that Taishi Ci would know the current affairs and be a handsome man.

Wu Anguo had a bit of backbone and did not directly surrender to Chutian. Chutian ordered him to be locked up and starved for a few days, and Wu Anguo surrendered obediently.

Not all prisoners, Chutian has the patience and temper to deal with them.

If he has the ability, Chu Tian can use him slowly, but if he is only arrogant and arrogant, Chu Tian does not have such a good attitude.

The surrendered Wu'anguo has a force of 83, and the commander has only a pitiful 55. The characteristic is the "North Sea Hammer" (only for individuals). When using the hammer as a weapon, the bludgeoning damage to the enemy is greatly increased.

Chu Tian casually gave him a position as a captain, temporarily staying in the Fifth School of the Northern Army to serve as a fierce general who charged into battle.

There was only one general in the Fifth School of the Northern Army, Chutian, and Chutian assigned some second- and third-rate generals to the Fifth School of the Northern Army.

The fifth school of the Northern Army has Chu Tian as the main general to provide bonuses. What he needs is a few generals with relatively high military force who cannot be alone. If necessary, they will charge into battle.

After all, as the lord, Chutian has no reason to take risks easily and rush to the front.

Wu Anguo was overjoyed when he heard that he had been incorporated into the Guards Corps. He soon forgot the old master Kong Rong, and expressed his willingness to saddle the horses and horses for Master Mu of Xuzhou.

After promoting his subordinates and then recuperating, Chutian began to spy on the situation around him. Liu Bei's forces suddenly intervened in Youzhou, and Chutian had to be on guard. In the Guanzhong area, the Xiliang Army Corps and the Bingzhou Army Corps merged with each other, and the Guanzhong Army Corps of the old Qin stood on the sidelines...

Harvest season is coming soon. The territory of Chutian is almost to the Yellow River in the north and the Yangtze River in the south. More kinds of crops are planted, from wheat to rice, and the harvesting seasons are also different.

Champaign rice has been sown in Guangling County. As long as it is well developed, the local area can also become a granary, so that Chutian has no worries, but it will take time.

"My lord, there is a locust plague in Pengcheng Kingdom, and Wang Lang, the Prime Minister of Pengcheng, urgently reported to the other counties and counties to support Pengcheng Kingdom's food!"

In the fifth year of the lord's calendar, Chutian returned to Xiacheng for more than a month. When the wheat in various places was ready to be harvested, a natural disaster that might swept the entire Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou quietly came. Chutian has rarely experienced large-scale natural disasters. If it is not handled properly, Xuzhou's military grain reserves will be greatly reduced.
