"Even if Yu Wenze is captured, he will not betray me."

Cao Cao stood up with the support of many counselors and generals. He faced a powerful opponent whose territory was five times his own. Jibei Kingdom was occupied by Xuzhou's army, General Yu Jin was captured, and Cao Cao's territory was reduced by one-third.

If it hadn't been for Cao Ren, Cheng Yu and others to defend the city, Cao Cao would have been homeless when he returned to Yanzhou.

"Gongda, Chu Zimou is coming fiercely. An army of 200,000 has invaded Yanzhou. What should we do?"

Cao Cao asked the mastermind Xun You for help. Xun You was Cao Cao's top think tank, and perhaps only Xun You could save him.

Xun You said: "My lord, please immediately contact the governors and governors of Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. Chu Zimou has 200,000 troops in Yanzhou, and the number of troops left in Xuzhou will not exceed 200,000 at most. Most of them are lacking in combat."

Experienced recruits can achieve results.”

"Chu Zimou gave me a dozen women, but secretly took away my Jibei Kingdom. What a good calculation. Now this is the only way!"

Apart from encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, Cao Cao had no other choice in the face of the absolute power gap. Cao Cao even thought that Chu Tian had a premeditated plan, otherwise how could he give him a Huns woman.

Cao Cao's men sent envoys to various states and counties to try to gain the support of other state pastors or governors. If Cao Cao was eliminated, no one could stop Chu Zimou from dominating the Central Plains.

Cao Cao is still fighting a trapped beast.

Chu Tian returned to Xuzhou and learned that 200,000 troops were launching a devastating blitzkrieg against Yanzhou. Le Yi and Zhou Cang led the defensive corps of 40,000 troops from Dongping State, and Li Guang and Du Ruhui led the Taishan defensive corps of 30,000 troops to invade from Taishan County.

In the Yanzhou Jibei Kingdom, Li Xiuning led the Detachment of Women, the Invincible Legion, and 10,000 new recruits, with approximately 20,000 soldiers and horses to provide support. The final result was that the Jibei Kingdom was defeated, and Cao Cao's general, Jin, was captured alive.

On the Dongjun front, Gongziwen, with Pang Juan as the commander-in-chief and Guo Jia as the military advisor, commanded 60,000 Yanzhou troops and horses. Together with Xu Rong's 10,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of reserve troops, they marched to Puyang in an attempt to capture Cao Cao's most important stronghold.

After Le Yi, Zhou Cang, Li Guang, Du Ruhui, Li Xiuning and other generals occupied Jibei Kingdom, they formed a pincer attack on Dongjun with Gongzi Wen, Pang Juan and Xu Rong.

This is probably everything that happened in Xuzhou after Chutian left Xuzhou. Cao Ren, Cheng Yu and other subordinates who were good at defense slightly blocked the offensive of the Xuzhou army for Cao Cao. Otherwise, Cao Cao would be like a tree without roots, water without a source, and water without a source.

Home can be returned.

The generals that Chu Tian took away had made meritorious service in the Battle of Mobei. After the Battle of Yanzhou, it is estimated that the civil servants and generals who have made great achievements in battle will be promoted.

The current situation is that even if Chutian does not want to start a war, it is impossible. From top to bottom, Xuzhou, from top to bottom, has continued to win and the martial arts are prevalent, and all civil servants and generals are eager to start a war.

Chu Tian succeeded Xia Liang in taking charge of Xuzhou's military and war affairs, allowing her to rest and recuperate, because the child might be born in the next two or three months.

It is not that easy to destroy Cao Cao. On the surface, this is a battle between him and Cao Cao. In fact, Chutian is destined to deal with many princes joining forces.

The surrounding princes were unwilling to sit back and watch Cao Cao die, otherwise they would be next.

"Please be careful, Mr. Runan, the prefect of Runan said about Tang Dynasty. I suspect that he not only has Qin Qiong, but also Cheng Yaojin, the lucky general. He deliberately asked Cheng Yaojin to use the horse as a weapon to avoid being easily recognized. He also has

A civil servant, suspected to be Wei Zheng, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was governing Runan for him. Runan was secretly accumulating strength and had strong soldiers and horses, and there might be other generals under pseudonyms."

"In order to prepare for Yuzhou's soldiers and horses, I have transferred the soldiers from the White Robe Corps, the Fifth School of the Northern Army, and the Servant Corps who did not participate in the Battle of Mobei to the Pei State area."

Before Xia Liang gave up his military power, he once again reminded Chu Tian to be on guard against the princes in Yuzhou talking about Tang.

It is said that the Tang Dynasty was a very low-key person, always attached to Yuan Shu, but had a group of civil servants and generals under his command, waiting for opportunities. In the Battle of Pengcheng, it is said that the Tang Dynasty did not participate, but replaced Yuan Shu after his defeat and rapidly expanded his territory.

During the Battle of Mobei, the generals of the Tang Dynasty began to attack Yingchuan County where Yuan Shu was entrenched. Yuan Shu was rebelled by his subordinates. After being defeated many times, he was powerless. He compromised with the Tang Dynasty and handed over most of Yingchuan County. Today's

Speaking of the Tang Dynasty, his power was greater than that of Cao Cao, occupying the four battle areas of the Central Plains.

The more low-key this opponent is, the more terrifying it is. In the past, Yuzhou was torn apart, so the various princes, including Chutian, did not care much. What kind of threat could Yuzhou occupied by Yuan Shu pose? But Tang Jiu's strategy of occupying Magpie Nest was

All the princes were surprised by his patience.

If Chutian's power hadn't expanded too fast, it might have been Tang and Cao Cao who were fighting to the death in the Central Plains.

"I will deal with him carefully, and you can take a good rest."

After Chu Tian succeeded Xia Liang, he allowed her to rest peacefully in the Lord's Mansion and no longer have any contact with internal affairs or conquests.

Chutian returned from the Battle of Mobei with many cavalry generals. These generals are enough to take over the current situation. And the situation is now very good.

The reward for the third epic battle was finally settled at this time because Cao Cao was stranded in Mobei for a long time due to Chu Tian.

Almost at the same time, all the princes who participated in the Battle of Mobei received notices of reward settlement!

"Ding! You have obtained the SSS-level characteristic 'Hanwu' from Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty. Your characteristics are full. Please choose to give up an existing characteristic, or give up the 'Hanwu' characteristic, or give this characteristic to a subordinate.

"

"Ding! You have obtained Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's special unit, the eighth-level heavy cavalry Tiger Army, with a maximum limit of 3,000. You can use the points from this battle to directly redeem it."

"Ding! You have received three random hero recruitment orders. There is a high probability that heroes of king level and above will appear, and there is a high probability that heroes of the Han Dynasty will appear."

"Ding! You have obtained a ninth-level special building—the construction drawing of Taixue."

Chu Tian received five rewards in succession, which were rewards obtained by the princes ranked first.

Han Wu is one of the characteristics of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

[Name]: Hanwu

[Grade]:sss level

[Origin]: The only ones who can level the world and expand borders are Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Characteristics of a monarch/aura of the whole army

[Effect]: Martial style - on the battlefield, all attributes of Han civilization arms +8%, foreign armies are prone to fear (if the opponent has similar characteristics, they will cancel each other out); expand borders - conquer foreign territories and station troops

At this time, the influence rate of Han culture is +20%; Militarism - when wars are too frequent, the rate of decline in popular support is +30%; Talent and strategy - the loyalty of Han Dynasty civil servants, military generals, and disciples of aristocratic families under his command increases, and they are less likely to rebel.

Chu Tian saw that Emperor Wu of Han's characteristic effect was equivalent to the superposition of four characteristics, and one of them was a negative characteristic. But when Chu Tian thought about it carefully, he knew why "Han Wu" was an SSS-level characteristic.

The A-level characteristic "Han Army Soul" can only bring an effect of +3% to all attributes of Han civilization arms, while "Han Wu" is just a halo for the whole army, with an 8% effect!

The effect of "Hanwu" in expanding borders can also speed up the assimilation of foreign races. If you are committed to external expansion and colonizing the occupied lands, "Hanwu" will be a divine attribute.

The third positive characteristic of "Han Wu" is to strengthen the control over the heroes of the Han Dynasty and make them more loyal. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this characteristic was simply perfect... Civil servants like Xun Yu who were loyal to the Han Dynasty probably would not treat Chu Tian

There is no objection because he inherited the characteristics of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

There are also the current loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande...

"Hanwu" is an extremely special characteristic. As an SSS-level characteristic, it actually has negative effects. If you resort to militarism and frequently launch wars, people's moral support will decline rapidly.

However, Chu Tian didn't care much about the negative effects of belligerence.

The effects can cancel each other out. At this time, some civil servants who have "people's hearts are not easy to decline" and "people's hearts are restored faster" play an important role!

In the past, Chu Tian didn't care much about the abilities of these civil servants in domestic affairs, but when Chu Tian wanted to go "military", he really needed a group of civil servants to clean up the mess he had made. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked all directions, but he also had a group of civil servants to deal with the aftermath.

In general, with Li Kui (the characteristic "Ping Bian Fa", the people's support is not easy to decline, and the losses caused by famine are greatly reduced), Fang Xuanling (the characteristic "Zhenguan First Assistant", the people's support is not easy to decline, and the probability of auspicious occurrences is increased), Du Ruhui

(The characteristics of "virtuous prime minister", people's support, and public security are not easy to decline) and other civil servants, the negative effects of the "militancy" characteristics are actually not great.

Of course, without these interior ministers, the dangers brought about by military aggression would be quite great. Chutian still remembered that in the early days of the development of his power, he encountered a big financial crisis. After Chutian took possession of Xuzhou, the financial difficulties were relatively less.

Next is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty’s special unit, the eighth-order heavy cavalry Tiger Army!

The Huben Army, like the Yulin Cavalry, is one of the imperial guards of the Western Han Dynasty. The predecessor of the Huben Army is Qi Menlang, and its status is even higher than that of the Yulin Cavalry. In "Lord", it is a heavy cavalry, and it is also an eighth-level heavy cavalry.

The Yulin Cavalry is a light cavalry.

There are five schools of the Northern Army in Chutian, among which the Tunqi Battalion is also heavy cavalry. Together with the Huben Army, there are two battalions of heavy cavalry in Chutian, namely the Tunqi Camp (affiliated to the fifth school of the Northern Army at the sixth level. In fact,

, because it is a heavy armored unit, it is a seventh-level unit separately), and the Tiger Army (eighth-level cavalry).

In addition to the two battalions of heavy cavalry, there are also two battalions of light cavalry, one infantry battalion, and one archery battalion. For Chu Tian, ​​who takes the route of commanding the cavalry, the role of the infantry battalion and the archery battalion is only to hold down the position.

.The ones that really showed their strength in his hands were the four cavalry battalions, namely the Huben Army, the Tunqi Battalion, the Changshui Battalion, and the Yueqi Battalion, with a total of up to 12,000 cavalry!

12,000 high-level light cavalry and heavy cavalry, coupled with the powerful destructive power brought to the cavalry by the "Cang Lang White Deer" and "Sealing the Wolf to Residence", Chu Tian could hardly imagine how terrifying it would be.

But where to recruit the eighth-level Tiger Ben army...

The highest-level cavalry battalion in Xuzhou is only level seven, while the Huben Army requires an eighth-level cavalry battalion. Not only that, as an eighth-level heavy cavalry, the Huben Army requires an astonishing amount of equipment, horses, and soldiers.

It seems that you can directly use your military exploits to exchange for a group of Emperor Wu’s cavalry...

Chutian still has 110,000 military merits that have not been used.

Battle merit is an indirect reward. Unlike ranking rewards, you can freely choose the rewards you exchange for battle merit, even if you exchange it for an eighth-level cavalry battalion blueprint.

Before using his military exploits, Chutian planned to consume three special recruitment orders obtained in the Battle of Mobei. These three special recruitment orders have a high probability of containing heroes of king level and above, and a high probability of appearing heroes of the Han Dynasty. The high probability means that

uncertain.

He had three chances to recruit Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, or other civil servants and generals from the Han Dynasty, or even civil servants and generals from other dynasties.

"I shouldn't be so unlucky..."

When Chu Tian found out that he had to rely on luck this time, he had to take a gamble, three to be precise. If he was lucky, he might recruit Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Han Xin. If he was not lucky, he might not recruit three unknown generals.

.

Thinking that he was not completely sure of winning Wei Qing and Huo Qubing this time, Chu Tian Shao didn't panic.

However, Chutian already has more opportunities than other princes.

"Ding! You consume a random hero recruitment order, and you gain the allegiance of the platinum-level general Gongsun Ao."

Gongsun Ao?

Isn't this the captain who served under Wei Qing in the Battle of Mobei? This was the same person who informed Chutian that Cao Cao went to see Wei Qing.

Gongsun Ao was not a good general and was often defeated by the Xiongnu. Because he and Wei Qing were sworn friends, Gongsun Ao followed Wei Qing in the melee. It was similar to the relationship between Mi Fang and Chu Tian.

Seeing Gongsun Ao appear in front of him, Chu Tiantian didn't hesitate. A precious random hero recruitment order actually recruited a military commander like Mi Fang.
To be continued...
