In the Beihai Kingdom, under Jimo City, Donglai Governor Zhao Gongzi besieged Dorgon, Wu Sangui, and Guan Hai for a long time. The Qingzhou Army besieged Jimo heavily, built a city wall outside the city, built hundreds of arrow towers, and had soldiers patrolling day and night.

Dorgon repeatedly left the city for sneak attacks, but was repulsed by the defenders outside the city.

Zhao Gongzi took Xue Wanche and Taishi Ci to look at the fortified Jimo: "Chu Zimou has begun to prepare to unify Xuzhou, how can I be content with others? Dorgon and his group are hiding in Jimo, how long will it take to capture the strong city?

?”

A city in Jimo has held him back for half a year, and there is no sign of running out of food. If Chutian unified Xuzhou before he unified Qingzhou, then Qingzhou would be in danger.

Xuzhou's attack direction includes Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou. Once Chutian unifies Xuzhou, it is very likely that he will capture Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

"It's better to recruit them and use them for my use."

Prince Zhao's troops were getting larger and larger, but he was still unable to muster the determination to attack Jimo, so he began to think of persuading him to surrender.

Langya Kingdom, Xia Cheng, and Chutian sent military generals to capture the remaining two or three counties of Langya Kingdom.

There are a total of thirteen counties in Langya Kingdom, and Chutian has not yet completely controlled thirteen counties.

Just when Chu Tian was deciding on the list of military generals for the expedition, Zhao Yun took the initiative to look for Chu Tian.

Although Zhao Yun has repeatedly performed meritorious services for Chu Tian, ​​he has not yet officially decided to join Chu Tian.

Chu Tian was quite surprised that Zhao Yun took the initiative to visit him. After returning to Langya Kingdom, he had many clues and did not deliberately recruit Zhao Yun.

The reason is also very simple. He has used Zhao Yun as his own general. Zhao Yun basically cannot leave Langya Kingdom and has no reason to leave.

He had friendships with generals such as Xue Rengui and Li Guang, and had made many military exploits for the Langya Kingdom. As long as he took refuge in Chutian, he could have an official position, so there was no need to join other princes.

Just like a person is dependent on the inherent environment, then he has no motivation to adapt to the new environment.

"Zilong wants to follow the lord, but he is so angry that he hopes the lord will take him in!"

Sure enough, Zhao Yun took the initiative to demand allegiance.

This is what Chutian wants to achieve in subduing the generals. It is better to use coercion and inducement to make them take the initiative to surrender, so that they will be less likely to defect in the future.

Seeing Zhao Yun's sincere eyes, Chu Tian decided to accept this general.

"Ding! You have obtained the allegiance of the imperial-level historical general Zhao Yun."

"Ding! The SS-level achievement of the achievement system - 'Five Tiger Generals' is opened. Collect the Five Tiger Generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao to get special rewards."

As a popular hero, Zhao Yun has very high attributes.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun's loyalty level is 95 and his favorability level is 85. It is estimated that Chu Tian will not be able to drive him away.

Hua Mulan's loyalty is high and her love grows over time, while Zhao Yun's loyalty rises faster and declines more slowly, because his compatibility is "loyalty".

The achievements of the Five Tiger Generals have also been unlocked, but it is not known how difficult it is to recruit the Five Tiger Generals, especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who are close to Liu Bei.

"You are temporarily serving as a Sima of another department. Hua Mulan will divide some of the light cavalry for you to train. Later, when you recruit white horse followers, you can change the troops."

Chu Tian considered that Zhao Yun had the characteristic of being a vanguard. In the future, he could let Zhao Yun serve as a guard or as a vanguard. No matter what, the vanguard mainly relied on force and bravery.

"The last general takes command!"

Zhao Yun went to the school field to find Hua Mulan to divide his troops and become a light cavalry general.

As for the heavy cavalry general, Chu Tian has decided to appoint Hua Xiong as the general. Currently, Hua Xiong has not surrendered and is imprisoned in the dungeon of Xia City.

Zhao Yun's cavalry must be equipped with pure white horses in order to exert Zhao Yun's characteristic effect "White Horse General". This characteristic is probably similar to Gongsun Zan's.

"Try to buy a batch of white horses, or gather all the white horses to recruit white horse followers for Zhao Yun."

If Chu Tian wanted to buy a pure white war horse, he would probably have to work hard.

He found Xia Liang, who was in charge of finance, and asked her to purchase a batch of pure white war horses from a horse dealer.

"Actually, you don't need to buy a large number of pure white war horses. I have already counted the types, qualities, and even fur colors of the war horses obtained from the battle against Dong Zhuo. Among them, there are 1,213 pure white war horses, and a total of gold-level white horses.

213. As long as you buy 87 white horses from Youzhou, you can gather 300 white horses. Since the white horses are sixth-level cavalry, they should need gold-level white horses, right? In this way, Zhao Yun can command 300 white horses.

Yi Cong, 1,200 low-level white horse light cavalry, then there will be 1,500 light cavalry who are good at riding and shooting."

Xia Liang held the account book and had already imagined Zhao Yun's deployment of troops and horses.

"It would be a shame if you didn't become a lord."

Chu Tian found that she had quickly considered the troop allocation plan for Zhao Yun.

"My subordinates had no choice. The village was annexed from the beginning..."

"If you try to recruit more women's troops for Li Xiuning in Langya Kingdom, your salary can be increased."

Considering that Tao Qian had gathered Xiang Yan, Yang Wudi and other famous generals, Chu Tian had to tap into the potential of his own generals.

Li Xiuning's Detachment of Women can continue to fight, and the recruitment conditions are only limited by the number of soldiers, so Chutian will give priority to recruiting soldiers for it.

During the crusade against Xuzhou, Li Xiuning's Detachment of Women was required to guard the home.

There is no need to worry about the rear, Chu Tiancai dared to let go of his hands and feet to hit Tao Qian, otherwise it would be quite uncomfortable if his hands were tied.

"Then I try to recruit another 3,000 women's troops, for a total of 5,000 women's troops?"

"Five thousand is enough."

Chu Tian thought for a while, five thousand Detachment of Women to guard Xia City, another five thousand low-level troops, and temporarily recruited 10,000 local warriors. Even if the opponent is a first-rate general commanding an army of 100,000 to attack, Xia City will not be shaken within a month or two.

.

"Also, give Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other people houses, and send people to resettle them. It is best to let them live in an adjacent area to enhance the cultural atmosphere of our summer city."

With the reputation of Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, placing them in Xia City was actually a deterrent to the enemy. If Lu Zhi and Cai Yong were killed in the war, it would probably cause quite a stir among the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the enemies would be more likely to

be disturbed.

"yes."

Xia Liang retired and went to recruit troops for Li Xiuning.

Although Li Xiuning is her retainer, Chu Tian has the final say in recruiting troops, and there is no difference between Chu Tian's generals.

Because of Li Xiuning's military exploits, Chutian directly made him a commander of another department, and later asked Dong Zhuo to make him a general or captain.

"This is the intelligence collected by the scouts in Tancheng. Tao Qian can gather 100,000 troops and horses, and the lords of the other four counties can send 100,000 troops to Tancheng and 50,000 troops to Qu County. The commander of Tancheng is Xiang Yan, and the commander of Qu County is Song Jiang.

.”

Fang Xuanling has sent scouts to sneak into Tancheng to gather information.

"Tao Qian lost 30,000 in Beihai Kingdom, and tens of thousands were burned by Miss Xia in our Langya Kingdom. Unexpectedly, he could still gather 100,000 troops. But these should be his last troops."

Chu Tian learned that Tao Qian could continue to send troops, and speculated that Tao Qian's troops were already stretched thin. After all, part of the territory was controlled by strangers, and Xuzhou was not completely in Tao Qian's hands.

When Zhao Yun came out of the lord's mansion, Xue Rengui was already waiting outside: "How is it? My lord will agree to your joining, right?"

Zhao Yun nodded, he was still a little nervous just now.

If Chu Tian had just refused, Zhao Yun would not have known where to go. After all, he had already integrated into the small circle of generals of Langya Kingdom.

It can make the Five Tiger Generals worry about not being accepted, but I am afraid that few lords can do that.

The soldiers from the lord's palace caught up and said: "Generals Xue and Zhao, my lord has ordered you to lead your troops and go and pacify the counties that have not yet been incorporated into the Langya Kingdom but belong to the Langya Kingdom."

"My lord is finally going to completely unify the Langya Kingdom."
