Chapter 521 Youzhou Gets It
"Zhao Long was killed, how could he be killed..."
Mingguan sat on the throne, and when he heard the news of Zhao Long's death, he still couldn't believe it.
When Zhao Long died, there were only two cheap people, Chu Tian and Liu Bei.
Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou became land without owners, and they were all divided up.
"Provide Li Chengliang and Jin Wushu to quickly capture Youzhou!"
Mingguan can't wait, and can't wait to go to command in person!
Chutian's troops and horses are in Jizhou, and they have not had time to intervene in Youzhou, so Youzhou is a fertile land.
The importance of occupying the sixteen states of Yanyun for the Liaodong forces is self-evident.
Therefore, in the Youzhou war, Mingguan would take the risk to attack Youzhou and rob some of Youzhou's population.
This time, he wants the complete Youzhou!
"Ashi Nasheer, your Turkic cavalry is fast, go north immediately, take Jixian, and take away the gold, silver and weapons of Jixian."
Liu Bei dispatched the fastest Turkic prince, Ashina Sher.
"Zhao Long died in battle, Chu Zimou's army is too fierce..."
Chen Xi couldn't help but be shocked when he learned that Zhao Long was killed.
Zhao Long's death will lead to a series of changes, which will change the pattern of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.
Chen Xi no longer wanted to stay in the north to confront Chutian. If you go to the south and avoid the powerful princes in the north, you may be able to open up a new situation.
The war between the princes in the north was too fierce, with hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, and even the princes could not protect themselves.
After dispatching a team of cavalry, Liu Bei was afraid for a while. If he was also in Fukou, he might also be attacked and killed.
A cavalry force moved south quickly, Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao did not want to waste time attacking the city, and mainly recruited the defenders.
It is not wise to use cavalry to attack a city.
At first, few counties were willing to surrender the city, and Wei Qing had to attack the city in order to supply food.
When the news of Zhao Long's death reached Youzhou,
The officials and guards of Youzhou saw that the situation was not good, so they all surrendered to Wei Qing.
Wei Qing's cavalry entered Guannei from Shanggu County, drove straight in, and arrived at Ji County, the seat of Youzhou.
Jixian officials directly opened the city gate to welcome Wei Qing's cavalry into the city.
The lord has been killed, and they continue to defend Ji County to no avail.
The idea of this group of officials is also very simple, no matter which side forces come to occupy the city, all surrender, and no one will be offended.
Even if the lords were killed, they could still serve as officials and would not suffer.
Wei Qing's cavalry numbered 50,000, and Jixian was simply unable to resist the attack.
"Cavalry, another cavalry is coming!"
Ji County officials exclaimed.
Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao stood on the city wall and found that a cavalry had indeed arrived. This cavalry was under the banner of the Liaodong Army.
Wei Qing had seen the Liaodong Army in the third national war, so he was familiar with the Liaodong Army's battle flag.
"The lord really did not guess wrong. The Liaodong Army also wants to obtain Youzhou. After all, we are one step faster."
Although Wei Qing is an honest person, but seeing the Liaodong Corps repeatedly deflated, his heart is still a little dark.
It is not the first time that Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, has attacked Youzhou. He wants to win Youzhou, but this is the second time Mingguan failed to attack Youzhou.
Li Chengliang and Jin Wushu's 20,000 cavalrymen were below Jixian, looking at the Chilong Banner belonging to the Chutian forces in Jixian, with a heavy heart.
"If I knew earlier, it's enough to divide a small team of cavalry to suppress the Wuhuan tribe. Maybe we can take the lead. Is the rebellion of the Wuhuan tribe also expected by Chu Zimou? Or is it that Chu Zimou deliberately provoked the rebellion of the Wuhuan tribe and deliberately Delaying my progress? He was horrible."
Li Chengliang seriously overestimated Chutian's ability, and even pushed the abnormality of the Wuhuan tribe to Chutian, making Chutian bear the blame.
Jin Wushu's golden sparrow axe pointed at Jixian County: "We have 20,000 cavalry soldiers, and we can capture this city in time while their hearts are undecided."
Li Chengliang was hesitant.
If attacking this city, then this is undoubtedly the best time.
Suddenly, in the south of Ji County, a cavalry came galloping!
The cavalry Liu Bei was preparing to use to capture Youzhou was led by the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer!
The relationship between Liu Bei and Mingguan was quite bad. They once fought for Youzhou. When the Turkic cavalry of Ashinasheer saw Li Chengliang's Liaodong cavalry, the two sides immediately confronted each other.
The two cavalrymen did not like each other, but they suddenly realized that the three princes were all trying to attack Youzhou.
"Jixian County, which had the most accumulated supplies, was snatched away, so we had to settle for the next best thing and attack Zhuo County."
Ashina Sheer was keenly aware that his cavalry was unable to compete with Wei Qing and Li Chengliang for the seat of Youzhou, so he immediately went to fight for Zhuo County.
"What the hell are Liu Bei's forces doing..."
Li Chengliang couldn't help but wonder when he saw that after Zhao Long was killed, Liu Bei's forces were more active than anyone else.
Wei Qing saw that the cavalry sent by Liu Bei had left again, so he opened the city gate and led the mighty cavalry out of the city!
"retreat!"
Only then did Li Chengliang realize that he had poked a hornet's nest. In Ji County, Wei Qing had fifty thousand cavalry! And the combined cavalry of Li Chengliang and Jin Wushu was only 20,000!
If it really hits hard, it will be Li Chengliang who suffers!
"No need to chase."
After Wei Qing scared Li Chengliang away, he stopped Gongsun Ao from pursuing him.
Wei Qing brought low-level light cavalry from Monan, and among Li Chengliang's cavalry, there were Guan Ning iron cavalry, and there seemed to be three hundred iron pagodas.
In the absence of strong generals and heavy cavalry, it is very likely to be beheaded by surprise.
Besides, Wei Qing had to ensure that this important city in Ji County would not be captured by other princes.
"You divide your troops to occupy Shanggu County and Dai County."
Wei Qing sent his good brother Gongsun Ao to conquer the surrounding counties, and personally sat in Ji County.
Li Chengliang and Jin Wushu suffered a loss.
If Wei Qing came after them, they could still set up an ambush and use the impact of the heavy cavalry to suddenly burst out and behead the enemy generals.
However, Wei Qing was very cautious and did not act rashly, just to ensure that Youzhou was successfully captured.
In fact, Youzhou's territory is very vast. The counties and states controlled by Mingguan, such as Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyang, all belong to Youzhou.
Wei Qing occupied Ji County, and then took Shanggu County, Dai County, and Zhuo County. The total number of counties obtained was half of Youzhou.
Mingguan's territory was determined during the Youzhou War. In addition, Mingguan hoarded a large number of troops and horses in these territories. To truly unify Youzhou was equivalent to fighting Mingguan.
Wei Qing knew that Chutian had just ended the battle of Hebei, and a large number of elites were killed and wounded. Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou were not stable. They had no energy to fight Mingguan again. host.
"Zhao Long was actually killed..."
Chu Tian found out that his eldest wife had successfully set up an ambush in Fukouxing, and after killing Zhao Long, he couldn't believe it.
A seemingly formidable enemy collapsed in an instant.
The coach was killed, and the entire force lost its core and was torn apart, occupying Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, becoming a smooth road.
When he first learned about the result, Chu Tian was a little unbelievable.
After all, the death of the coach is a very serious matter, and Zhao Long has no shortage of guards by his side.
It may be that the war was too tragic, Zhao Long dispatched the main generals, so no one could stop Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun's white robes from attacking.
The white robe army is quite terrifying under the addition of the white robe army god Chen Qingzhi.
Zhao Yun is also the kind of fierce general who dares to rush into the enemy's formation, stacking damage through injury, and his own strength will not drop due to injury.
"It seems that in the future it is necessary for every coach to have an escort, otherwise there may be coaches who will be attacked and killed by the enemy's fierce generals."
Chu Tian also learned something from Zhao Long's incident.
If Zhao Long keeps Shi Wansui, who is at the level of the Five Tigers, by his side, and Shi Wansui leads a team of cavalry to block Zhao Yun, who is in a hurry, then he has a high probability of escaping.
Zhao Long's coach, Yang Su, has a very keen sense of danger. After realizing that something was wrong, he immediately fled from the place.
"Zhang He and Ju Yi are generals who are relatively easy to recruit..."
Chutian heard that Zhang He and Ju Yi were captured, and thought that these two people with special arms could be used, and they were not die-hard people.
Needless to say, Zhang He was one of the five good generals.
The five good generals, Chutian has already gathered Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Zhang Liao, and now there is another Zhang He, then only Xu Huang is left, and the five good generals can be gathered.
Ju Yi is arrogant, but he is also a fierce general who helped Yuan Shao defeat Gongsun Zan in history.
It can be said that Ju Yi is the mortal enemy of Gongsun Zan.
Thinking of Gongsun Zan, Chu Tian couldn't help but care about Mo Nan's situation.
The recent developments in the Mongol Empire are disturbing.
The lords of Monan are trying to infiltrate the Mongol Empire by sending scouts.
The Mongolian Empire is also sending scouts to Monan, and the two sides are fighting openly and secretly, and undercurrents are surging.
Chutian has not participated in the war between different civilizations in the main world. The only foreign war was the surprise attack on Jeju Island. Zheng Zhilong's fire attack directly stunned Goryeo's navy hero Yi Sun-sin, and when Yi Sun-sin was too late to prepare for the battle, he captured him.
In the list of captives, there is actually Wuchao wine immortal Chunyu Qiong.
This is a big celebrity.
During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao sent people to attack Wuchao. Chunyu Qiong, who was stationed in Wuchao to guard the grain and forage, was drunk and made a mistake (Romance), which led to Cao Cao's successful attack.
It is estimated that it is the level of a gold-level general, as well as negative characteristics.
Some heroes, although Chu Tian was not present in person, could basically infer their abilities based on their deeds.
As for the heroes of other civilizations, some abilities are special or unknown, so it is more difficult to infer their characteristics.
The opposite Liu Bei's army was still confronting Chutian the day before. The next day, Liu Bei set fire to the camp, and his army left the camp as early as night at the suggestion of Wang Meng.
Even though the Chutian army crossed the river the next day, Liu Bei's army had already retreated to Handan.
Yecheng became an isolated city with no reinforcements.
The guards Gao Jiong, Shen Pei, and Han Zhanhu learned that Zhao Long was killed. At first Shen Pei thought it was Chu Tian's plan and wanted to deceive the city gate, but the captured Zhang He and Ju Yi were taken to the army. When they were below Ye City, they finally determined that their lord Zhao Long had been killed.
"My lord and I have been in friendship for six or seven years, and they will always be of great use to me. Even if the lord dies, I will not betray him. As for the two, make your own choice."
Shen Du stood on the moss wall, ready to die.
The relationship between Zhao Long and him is too deep. Zhao Long's first territory was near Ye City, and he had been with Shen Pei for seven years.
Therefore, when Zhao Long and Yuan Shao broke up, due to personal friendship and sympathy for Zhao Long, the trial partner could serve Zhao Long, but he could not serve for Chu Tian, who was not familiar with him at all and killed Zhao Long.
Some ancient scholars had a mental cleanliness, and courtship was no exception.
Gao Jiong said, "You don't have to rush to seek death. It's better to take the risk to break through and live somewhere else, and then make plans."
Shen Pei shook his head: "The world is big, but there is no place for my Shen Pei."
Gao Jiong said: "No. The world is not the world of Chu Zimou, there are still many places to go. The lord had long expected that Chu Zimou would attack Yecheng, so he moved the relatives of all the people to Handan, so that everyone had no worries and concentrated on fighting. Originally, Handan was also a retreat that the lord left for him. Even if Yecheng fell, Handan could still hold on for a few months. Unfortunately, the lord no longer uses this retreat."
After listening to Gao Jiong's analysis, Shen Pei seemed to be in a desperate situation: "We will leave tonight."
