Chapter 185 Chutian and Dorgon(1/2)
"Good brother, you are finally here!"
Mi Fang spent the rest of her life crying and unable to suppress her inner excitement.
He led the remaining defeated troops in Xuzhou and was surrounded by 200,000 Yellow Turban troops. The pressure was so great that no one could bear it.
Chu Tian said with a straight face: "Didn't I tell you to send more scouts and cavalry to explore all the way?"
Mi Fang was greatly ashamed after hearing Chu Tian's rebuke: "I have little experience in leading troops. The scouts I sent were shot dead by the sharpshooters of the Yellow Turban Army, and they were eventually ambushed."
Seeing that Mi Fang admitted his mistake, Chu Tian did not continue to blame him. After all, his ability was not on the same level as Dorgon, who was the regent of the Qing Dynasty.
Chutian still relies on the financial resources of the Mi family, so there is no need to hold on to Mi Fang's mistakes.
Mi Fang is not suitable for frontal combat, but it is still possible to destroy bandits in the rear.
The most important thing is that Mi Fang is not Chu Tian's general, and what he loses is not Chu Tian's troops, but Tao Qian's troops.
Chu Tian comforted Mi Fang, who had been frightened recently, and made Mi Fang feel grateful. Chu Tian saved his life.
"Where is Cao Bao?"
Chutian rescued Mi Fang and two thousand Xuzhou soldiers, but Cao Bao, the commander-in-chief of the Xuzhou army, was missing.
Mi Fang was still frightened: "On that day, Cao Bao and I were cut off in the middle by the Yellow Turban Cavalry and lost contact. He was probably trapped by the Yellow Turban Army."
Chu Tian immediately checked the map with Fang Xuanling. They were not far from Anqiu County.
If Anqiu County can be recaptured, then the counties, Dongwu County and Anqiu County can build a triangle defense line, and at the same time connect with the four counties held by Zhao Gongzi and Kong Rong, and use seven counties as strongholds to compress the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army
area of activity, forcing the Yellow Turban Army to fight decisively.
"The various ministries swept away the Yellow Turban Army near Anqiu County and escorted the captured Yellow Turban Army to Langya Kingdom. After clearing the Yellow Turban Army in the wild, they then tried to capture Anqiu County and join forces with Beihai."
Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling discussed privately that when they came to Qingzhou, capturing the population was the first priority. Capturing the Yellow Turbans would actually weaken the power of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
In the hills near Anqiu County, there are 200,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turban troops recruited by Dorgon. If 200,000 people can be moved to Langya Kingdom, Chutian's territory can be enriched and the capital to compete for Xuzhou can be increased.
"As for Cao Bao, if he encounters him on the way, he will save him. If he cannot encounter him, then he should just ask for his own blessings."
Chu Tian's attitude towards his ally Tao Qian is ambiguous.
Xueyue defended Dongwu County, and the county magistrates defended the counties and consolidated the rear. Therefore, Chutian could unscrupulously plunder the Yellow Turban army and the population in Anqiu County and drive them all to Langya Kingdom.
Qingzhou has been destroyed a lot by the Yellow Turban Army. It will take time to rebuild the towns in Qingzhou. It is better to move the population to Langya Kingdom, which is relatively stable and has complete buildings.
Chutian does not lack land or people, otherwise he would not actively encourage childbirth and allow players to get married and register within his territory.
Wei was able to suppress Wu and Shu because of its large population.
Shu has Hanzhong Plain and Sichuan Basin, but no population.
Wu State also wanted to go to Yizhou and other places to capture natives alive to enrich the population of Jiangdong.
Without people to farm, there would be no food and no soldiers.
Chu Tian simply camped in the hills near Anqiu County and sent several troops to capture the wild Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. At the same time, he told him that if he encountered a general named Zhao Yun, he must try to lure him here.
Li Guang and Xue Rengui each led a group of cavalry and hunted near Anqiu County. Li Guang was responsible for luring the enemy in the front and leading the Yellow Turban Army into a valley. Then Xue Rengui blocked the entrance of the valley and made an emergency landing of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army.
Zhou Yafu and Xu Sheng teamed up to set up an ambush to eliminate 2,000 Yellow Turbans and capture 5,000.
The surrendered Yellow Turban Army was escorted to various counties, and then passed through Ju County, where they were placed in the plains around the Yi River and Shu River for farming.
The Yellow Turban Army in Jiqiu County quickly realized that something was wrong. They were encircling and suppressing the defeated Xuzhou Army. At this time, a Langya Army came and instead captured the Yellow Turban Army in large numbers.
That is to say, of the 200,000 Yellow Turban troops in Qiu County, 30,000 to 40,000 have been captured by Chu Tian and have disappeared.
This incident caused great panic among the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in Jiqiu County.
They found that Chutian's army was like a black hole, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army that attacked Chutian disappeared for no reason.
Dorgon is chasing the defeated Cao Bao.
Cao Bao had more than 30,000 men under his command. They were defeated all the way and fought in the hills, leaving only more than 5,000 men around him.
Dorgon's ghost has been lingering for several days. If it weren't for the complicated terrain around him, Cao Bao would have been killed by Dorgon's cavalry.
Even so, Cao Bao, the commander-in-chief of the Xuzhou Front, was in dire straits.
"The Yellow Turban Army seems to have stopped pursuing!"
Just when Cao Bao was about to continue his escape, he noticed that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was leaving as if the tide was ebbing.
Cao Bao is not completely incompetent.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army retreated mostly because of the arrival of reinforcements, otherwise the Yellow Turban Army would not have missed the opportunity to capture alive or kill the Xuzhou Front Army general.
"Is it Mr. Zhao from Beihai Kingdom, Kong Rong, or Chu Zimou from Langya Kingdom, or is it Mi Fang who is here to help?"
Cao Bao could not determine which reinforcements came from, so he could only take advantage of the rare opportunity to regroup. The number of Xuzhou's defeated troops around him gradually increased to 8,000.
Compared with the high spirits when he set out from Xiapi Kingdom, now he only has a broken army and defeated generals under his command, which is completely different.
Dorgon ordered to stop pursuing Cao Bao because he had received accurate information. Zhao Gongzi and Kong Rong from Yingling jointly sent troops to march to Anqiu County, intending to capture Anqiu County and open up the remaining four counties of Beihai Kingdom and Langya Kingdom.
channel.
At the same time, Chutian of Langya Kingdom actively cooperated and approached Anqiu County from the south to put pressure on Dorgon.
Dorgon is now in the middle of a flanking attack by two alien lords, Mr. Zhao and Chu Tian, and may be wiped out at any time.
Chu Tian and Mr. Zhao can stand out from many foreign lords and climb to the top ten positions in the Eastern Han District, but they are no better than mediocre people who rely on aristocratic families to rise to the top.
They are all cruel people.
Chutian fought all the way from Xiacheng in the south of Langya Kingdom to Beihai Kingdom, while Mr. Zhao stood firm in the four counties of Beihai Kingdom under the offensive of the locust-like Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which is enough to explain the problem.
Chutian captured the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in large numbers in the southern part of Anqiu County, which made Dorgon even more uneasy.
The advantage of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was that they had a large number of people, and they were playing into the hands of Chu Tian, who came specifically to plunder the population.
Once hundreds of thousands of Beihai Kingdom's young men were plundered by Chu Tian, Dorgon would be seriously injured.
Without people, it would be impossible to implement the human sea tactic, and it would also be impossible to establish a kingdom in Qi in the future.
"You lead an army of 100,000 to defend Anqiu County, and recruit another 100,000 Duchang troops, 100,000 Xiami troops, and 100,000 Jiaodong troops to attack Yingling and surround Wei to rescue Zhao. You cannot fight with Zhao Gongzi and Kong Rong in the wild. You must
When the various armies arrive, 400,000 troops will jointly attack."
Dorgon ordered Guan Hai, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army, to go down.
Guan Hai had no choice but to obey Dorgon's orders. Dorgon defeated Cao Bao, and the 50,000 Xuzhou Army led by Mi Fang had a great reputation among the Yellow Turban Army, and there was a faint tendency to overshadow Guan Hai.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which is now under siege, can only hope to survive under the leadership of Dorgon.
Guan Hai said: "Where are you going?"
"I personally commanded an army of 100,000 people to attack the army of Langya Kingdom. At the same time, I ordered Gaomi and Jimo each to send 100,000 troops to attack the counties of Langya Kingdom and Dongwu County, cutting off Chu Zimou's food road and retreat from behind. I don't believe it.
No less than him!"
The war potential of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was brought into full play in the hands of war madmen like Dorgon.
He could mobilize 700,000 Yellow Turban troops in a single county in Beihai Kingdom and divide them into two groups to crush the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers!
Even the Yellow Turban Army of Jinan State was under the command of his generals before they defeated Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and confronted the three-county coalition forces of Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin.
Dorgon has become the uncrowned king of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
At this time, Chutian was still speeding up the capture of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. He was somewhat excited when he saw groups of captured Yellow Turban Army soldiers being sent to the rear to replenish the counties.
In Chutian's dictionary, spoils of war include population.
Hua Mulan's Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry has two war eagles, which can take turns to go out for reconnaissance. In addition, there are cavalry sent by Chutian on the ground to watch, so the success rate of Dorgon's sneak attack is extremely low.
This is why Chu Tian felt free to let all the troops capture the Yellow Turban Army, just like catching wild boars.
Mi Fang couldn't understand that Chu Tian was more excited to see thousands of Yellow Turban Army prisoners than to see women.
After capturing nearly 50,000 Yellow Turbans in Anqiu County, the Yellow Turbans were frightened of Chu Tian and his army. Compared to the Yellow Turbans, Chutian's army was more like locusts, not even sparing anyone, and the Yellow Turbans were like wild boars.
Caught and dragged away…
The Yellow Turban troops fled one after another, and the nearby hills were deserted.
Cao Bao therefore had the opportunity to reunite with Chu Tian.
When he saw Chu Tian again, Cao Bao was no longer as arrogant as before.
How can a defeated general speak bravely?
Compared with Chu Tian's record in conquering Dongwu County and defeating Wu Sangui, the record of his army was too embarrassing.
The remaining soldiers of Cao Bao and Mi Fang combined were about 10,000. When Chu Tian captured the Yellow Turban Army, he rescued 5,000 Xuzhou soldiers, increasing the size of the Xuzhou Army to 15,000.
The Xuzhou Army set out from the counties with 50,000 men and arrived at Anqiu County with 15,000 men. It suffered heavy losses and was severely weakened.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, when the various princes first raised their armies, they had only a small number of troops. Thirty-five thousand elite troops were lost, which made even the governor of the state feel distressed.
Chu Tian joined forces with them, with about 40,000 people, and continued to advance towards Anqiu County.
During this period, Chutian learned that Liu Dai, the Yanzhou governor who was leading the crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, was defeated by an unknown Yellow Turban Army general and was trapped in Dongpingling.
Cao Cao, the governor of Dongjun, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, advanced cautiously and went to rescue Liu Dai.
