Chapter 851: Chutian's Decision (Supplementary Night)

"Sun Jian, this guy, can sit on the ground and raise the price, and his daughter wants to become Wu'er's wife."

Before Chutian set off to crusade against Liaodong, he received an emergency from Lu Su.

Sun Jian persevered and besieged Hefei for the third time. The army suppressed the situation and put new conditions on Chutian.

Chutian did not expect that Sun Jian would suddenly raise new conditions.

Sun Jian put his family's interests above the battles among the princes, wanted to preserve the interests of the Sun family, and even more wanted his daughter to become the future prince and concubine.

"Should we agree to Sun Jian's conditions?"

Chu Tian found Xia Liang.

Sun Jian directly controlled at least 200,000 troops, making him a mid-level prince.

Sun Jian attacked Hefei many times, which caused Chutian a lot of trouble.

Now Sun Jian raised the price on the ground and blackmailed Chutian by attacking Hefei City.

"Wu'er is your son. It's too early to confirm his wife now. If you just fooled Sun Jian and regretted it later, then that's another matter."

Xia Liang didn't know whether to agree to Sun Jian's conditions.

This is already a complete political marriage.

What Sun Jian wanted was the interests of the Sun family in Wujun, while Chutian wanted to end the Jiangdong Army's almost endless attacks on Hefei City. Both of them had appeals.

"The higher the status, the more emphasis on commitment."

Chutian knows the importance of honesty.

This is not because Chu Tian is a good person, but because of the need to win people's hearts.

A capricious lord, the loyalty of his subordinates is questionable, and when dealing with other lords, other lords will not have confidence in cooperation.

Huo An, Mu Ke, Zhang Dao and other lords cooperate with Chutian, probably because Chutian rarely breaks promises.

"If you don't want to go back on your word, then you can find a crime and just wipe out the Sun family. If the Sun family is gone, then my lord, you are not breaking your promise."

When Xiao Chuo heard about this, he said very calmly.

"..."

This woman is really ruthless. In order not to violate her promise, the logic of directly destroying other people's entire clan is simply outrageous.

"Sun Jian has dozens of generals and 200,000 to 300,000 troops. It might be good if we can win him over."

Xia Liang weighed it, and now there are very few princes in the Han Empire.

Chutian directly suppressed the princes who were evenly matched with Chutian, and there was no marriage.

After the marriage, the other party is unwilling to surrender, so it will be difficult to start a war.

Eastern-style political marriages often occurred between daimyos in the Eastern Warring States Period. After two daimyos got married, mutual betrayal was not uncommon.

"Promise to Sun Jian for the time being, and there will be a long time in the future, and no one can guarantee what will happen."

In the end, Chutian still couldn't bear Sun Jian's attack on Hefei, so he put it down temporarily.

When the Northern War came to reap the results, Chu Tian didn't want Tongque and Sun Jian to intervene.

The combined power of Tongque and Sun Jian is no worse than that of Mingguan and Lao Qin, and the territory they occupy is also quite large.

In "The Lord", the population of Jiangdong is actually quite large, because the number of players in the south is no less than that in the northern states.

When each player lord establishes a village, the initial NPC population will appear again, resulting in more populations in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Liaodong and other places than expected.

Sun Jian is the breakthrough point of Jiangdong forces.

Although Chu Tian was in the west of Liaoning, he was already thinking about pacifying the southern princes.

After solving the two powerful enemies of Mingguan and Lao Qin, the next target is naturally Tongque, Liu Bei, Yang Su and other princes who opposed Chutian.

"There should be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future..."

Chu Tian looked at Xia Liang, she is a smart person, Sun Jian's daughter Sun Shangxiang, logically speaking, should be played by her.

"Do I look like that kind of person?" Xia Liang seemed to see what Chu Tian was thinking, and glared at Chu Tian, ​​"Wu'er seems a little weak, if his wife is good at force, maybe he can neutralize it."

"so be it."

Because Chutian was worried that history would repeat itself, he transferred Guo Jia to Luoyang, personally led the various legions participating in the Battle of Liaoxi, and pursued the Ming army in the direction of Liaodong.

Hundreds of thousands of troops marched towards Liaodong City after a short rest, and the millions of strong men in the rear were responsible for escorting grain and grass. The grain trucks stretched for hundreds of miles, which was extremely spectacular.

In the middle section of the Liaoxi Corridor, there are few people, and it is basically impossible to obtain supplies from the local area.

Chutian adopted the safest tactics, step by step, and planned to extend the supply line to Liaodong, so he recruited millions of strong men to forcibly open up a supply line.

Such a large sum of money can only be realized by a lord with a large population in the territory.

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard, and the pursuit is the first!"

Khitan military general Yeluxiu volunteered to be the vanguard in the pacification of Liaodong.

The Khitan Army absorbed a group of cavalry from the Pishi Army during the Battle of Western Liaoning.

Probably because Brother Yeluxiu wanted revenge, so he recommended himself.

Mingguan defeated the Khitan tribe in the past, Yelu Abaoji was killed in battle, and there is still a lot of grievances with the Khitan tribe.

"Can."

Since the Khitan generals wanted revenge, Chu Tian didn't mind using them as vanguards.

Hundreds of thousands of Xia troops swept the nearby tribes of Wuhuan and Xianbei, and advanced all the way to Liucheng.

Until now, Chutian has captured Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, and half of Liaoxi County from Mingguan forces.

If you work hard, you can win the entire western Liaoning.

As for Liaodong, Chutian may need more time to fully digest it.

After all, Liaodong is not just a county.

Liaodong County plus Fuyu Kingdom, Goguryeo, and Heilongjiang, the area is already quite large.

This does not include Korea, which has a population of tens of millions.

With the addition of Korea, the area of ​​Liaodong is larger than that of most states, which is unimaginable.

Therefore, the battle with Mingguan will appear to be laborious.

The power of Mingguan is not the size of a county prefect at all, and its size is larger than that of a state shepherd.

This is why Chutian would prefer to compromise with Sun Jian before completely pacifying Liaodong, so as to avoid the Huainan war being too tragic and affect Chutian's pacification of Liaodong.

"Wu'er's matter depends on what the next generation thinks. If Sun Jian's daughter is not good enough, then find a chance to destroy the Sun family."

Unknowingly, Chu Tian had almost the same idea as Xiao Chuo.

After all, the selection of the prince and concubine has a great impact on the luck of the empire.

The fire was raging among the Wuhuan tribe. Monk Wanyan Chen, holding a long knife and riding a majestic war horse, looked up at the billowing black smoke.

Keeping the Wuhuan tribe is a hidden danger after all. Monk Wanyan Chen burned the Wuhuan tribe and migrated the population to the pass. After breaking up, after two or three generations, the Wuhuan tribe will disappear from now on, and no one will mention it.

Monk Wanyan Chen had a knife mark on his cheek, extending from the corner of his eye to his chin, looking particularly ferocious.

In order to defeat the Han Army's Eight Banners and the Red Cannon, Monk Wanyan Chen was permanently injured and his temper became more surly.

Seeing the fire burning, Monk Wanyan Chen was excited instead.

In Hefei City, Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army besieged the city. It seemed that the offensive was fierce, but in fact, the casualties were limited.

"Unsurprisingly, King Xia should agree to my terms. The descendants of our Sun family, how can they be dog girls? It is cheaper for King Xia's son." Sun Jian thought for a while, the whole Han Empire might not be as good as Chutian The family is even more prominent, "Report more losses at that time to show that we have lived up to King Wu's request."

Several military generals who stood firm in Hefei City were also relieved to find that Sun Jian's offensive was loud with thunder and little rain.

Sun Jian obviously did not want to fight to the death with the Hefei defenders, but instead attacked Hefei City symbolically for the third time.

The third offensive and defensive battle in Hefei City seemed too easy compared to the previous two.

"Diplomacy is amazing..."

As the defender of Hefei, Zhang Liao rarely experienced the role of diplomacy in person.

In the past, Sun Jian still had a life-and-death attitude, but now he is very ambiguous, flirting with King Xia's forces.

Outside of the battlefield, there are still many ways to determine the outcome. Negotiation, dissension, birth, old age, sickness and death can all be the conditions for victory.

Seeing that Sun Jian had kept his promise and did not attack the city violently, Lu Su knew that Sun Jian intended to negotiate.

As long as the other party has an appeal, then the negotiation can continue to avoid meaningless fights on the battlefield.

A war eagle circled down and landed on the shoulder of the iron eagle scout stationed in Hefei City.

"My lord Lu Su, my lord is sending an order, and my lord will personally enact it."

Lu Su took the note, and there was only one word on it.

"I didn't expect the lord to agree in the end. Is this a tactic to slow down the army, or does the lord really want to form a good relationship with the Sun family? It's really elusive..."

Lu Su knew what this meant.

Sun Jian may be the most prosperous among the local vassals. He has great power until now, has soldiers and horses, and has left a retreat for the future.

Regardless of whether they ruled across the river, worked for the King of Wu, or unified the Han Empire and became relatives of the emperor, the Sun family of Wu County is a famous family.

This is also in line with Soochow's style of making a fortune quietly.

Lu Su secretly told Sun Jian that Sun Jian continued to besiege Hefei City, causing hundreds of casualties every day, and claimed thousands of casualties.

Wu Wang Tongque thought that Hefei City was not easy to capture, so he finally transferred Sun Jian, who had been inactive, to attack Jiangling, and personally led troops to attack Xiangyang City. Zhou Yu led the navy into Hanshui.

Sun Jian was relieved when he received the transfer order from Tongque.

To besiege the city of Hefei and not be able to attack with all his strength, for Sun Jian, it is actually uneasy.

Tongque sent him to attack Jiangling, and Sun Jian would not show mercy to Song Wang Yang Shilang.

King Song's luck was poor. After the failure of the operation to enter Shu, the Jingzhou Army suffered a lot of losses, and was attacked by the Jiangdong Army, which further weakened.

In the Yunmengze area, Gan Ning defeated Zhou Yu's navy commander Ling Cao through a surprise attack and captured him alive.

Ling Cao was tied up by Gan Ning, and the Jinfan thief laughed at him. Ling Cao blushed and glared at Gan Ning angrily: "Jingnan has been captured by our lord, and Jiangxia has already been captured. Your lord is only left with Nanjun, a county. Even though it is Song King and Jingzhou Mu, what is the difference with Nanjun Taishou?"

After hearing Ling Cao's words, Gan Ning couldn't help but stop holding the wine bowl.

Ling Cao also told the truth that only Nanjun is left in the Song Kingdom.

Although Nanjun has the largest population, it is only a county after all, and it is far inferior to the current King Wu in terms of territory and military strength.

It was only a matter of time before Jingzhou was annexed.

A Jinfan thief who was in charge of patrolling the outer area reported: "Boss, there is a general in the Wu army who claims to be Lu Meng. Please meet him."

"I have never heard of this person. Why is he here?"

"I don't know."

"Bring him here."

"Boss, what if he is an assassin sent by King Wu?"

"In the world, there is no assassin who can hurt me."

Gan Ning was not afraid.

His force is already top-notch.

Soon Lu Meng, dressed in white, arrived and saw Ling Cao, who was tied up with five flowers, and was brought up by the Jin Fan Bandit to show off the Jin Fan Bandit's force to Lu Meng.

"Gan Xingba is worthy of being a tiger general, but your luck is really bad. The sun and the moon are too old, and the life is too long. With your talent, you should find another wise emperor so that you can have a place to display your talent."

"Are you a lobbyist?"

Gan Ning was not a complete reckless man either, as soon as Lü Meng spoke, Gan Ning knew that Lü Meng wanted to persuade him to surrender.

There were clanging sounds of swords being drawn, and the Jinfan thief pulled out his ring-shoudao sword. If Lu Meng was not good enough, he might not be able to leave this place.
