Outside Xiaopei City, there were corpses everywhere. Broken weapons, battle flags, armors, and corpses of war horses were piled up everywhere. The Yuzhou army was defeated, and Chu Tian led the army to pursue it. Mi Fang was left behind, and Wu Anguo cleaned up the battlefield.

Of the 130,000-strong Yuzhou Army, at least 40,000 to 50,000 were killed, and another 20,000 to 30,000 Yuzhou soldiers were captured.

The officials and civilians of Xiaopei witnessed the decisive battle between Xuzhou Mu and Yuzhou Mu, and they have not come back to their senses until now.

This battle was extremely fierce. The servant army was almost completely wiped out. Most of the Tunqi battalion was killed and wounded, and the Huben army also suffered casualties. Finally, the Yuzhou army was completely defeated and the results were expanded!

The only ones who did not suffer many casualties were Mi Fang and Wu Anguo who were defending the city.

Mi Fang witnessed the tragic battle and knew that her level was simply not suitable for a decisive battle of that level, so she settled down to be her lieutenant general, sweeping the battlefield and making some achievements.

The battle under Xiaopei City has become fierce. Famous generals like Guo Ziyi and Feng Yi were charged by two heavy cavalry and then defeated. Finally, Wei Qing's light cavalry was thrown in to seal the victory. Both sides had all their trump cards. Mi Fang thought that if she was in Guo Ziyi's position,

, Feng Yi's position, it is estimated that even the Tunqi camp's charge cannot be resisted.

In this battle, the injured generals on Chutian's side included Joan of Arc and Gongsun Ao, not including Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun who were slightly injured by arrows.

It is said that Tang Yuan was far more of a threat than Yuan Shu was.

So after defeating Suo Tang, Chu Tian went to hunt down Suo Tang without stopping, and also defeated Pei Guo.

Pei State belongs to Yuzhou, and Chutian currently only occupies two counties: Pei County and Feng County. The real governance of Pei State is in Xiang County.

If the entire Pei Kingdom is captured, it will be equivalent to Chutian having a bridgehead to attack Runan County.

In Xiang County, the defenders heard that Yuzhou Mu had been defeated, and they were panicked.

When Shuo Tang led his defeated troops and retreated to Xiangxian County, the lord of Xiangxian County closed the city gate tightly and refused to allow Shuo Tang to enter the city.

"The lord of Pei State wants to betray me and surrender to Chu Zimou!"

It is useless to say that Tang faced the betrayal of the Pei lords. After the defeat, his allies and subordinates began to regroup, and he was unable to stop them.

The failure of the battle has a huge impact on the lord's reputation, and the original staunch allies are not so reliable.

"Back to Runan. Chu Zimou's elite division suffered at least 20,000 casualties in Xiaopei. He no longer has the extra troops to annex Runan. It would be better if he chases us to our territory. We only need to cut off his food routes and

If he retreats, his entire army will be wiped out. After all, we have been operating in Runan for several years and the people's support can be used."

It is said that Tang bypassed the betrayal of Xiang County and returned to Runan, like a wounded lion licking his wounds.

Guo Ziyi, Feng Yi, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Chen Dao and other famous generals encountered difficulties in Xiaopei and were disgraced. Although they had many troops, they were not as capable as Xuzhou's elite troops. This defeat was particularly unacceptable.

It is said that the Tang Dynasty lacked the conditions to recruit Xuanjia troops and could only watch the cavalry camp and the tiger and Ben troops galloping.

Chu Tian's cavalry pursued them all the way to Xiang County. The lord of Xiang County heard that Chu Zimou was personally leading the team, so he led the officials of Pei State out of the city to meet him.

The lord of Pei State knelt on the ground and raised his hands in a state seal to express surrender.

Chu Tian rode a tall horse and led the heavy cavalry of the Huben army to surrender. The Huben army's golden armor and iron horses, and the pungent blood on their bodies, made the Pei family and the officials tremble with fear.

Pei State has always been under the jurisdiction of the governor of Yuzhou and the governor of Yuzhou. It first submitted to Kong Niao, then Yuan Shu, and then to the Tang Dynasty. But from now on, it will be under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou pastoral commander.

Chutian accepted the surrender of the lord of Pei State and formally included Pei State into his sphere of influence.

Chutian annexed Dongping and Pei in one go, and Gongziwen surrendered. He was not sure how many counties he already owned. There were at least ten.

The entire Xuzhou also occupies counties in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou. Chutian's power is equivalent to 2-3 states.

The lord of Pei State was equivalent to a governor in the Tang Dynasty. Chutian demoted him to a county magistrate in a remote place to develop backward areas.

"The people of Pei State were unstable, so the white-robed army was left to guard Pei State and resist the Tang Dynasty."

Chu Tian left the white-robed army, which was still intact, to guard Pei.

Except for the White Robe Legion, whose number is still around 20,000, the other legions have suffered heavy losses. The servant legion and the cavalry camp have almost lost their establishment. Hua Mulan's reconnaissance legion has faced Cheng Yaojin's attack alone and currently has less than ten thousand people.

, the number of people in the five schools of the Northern Army was not large, with only a few thousand left.

"Zijing, you stay in Pei State, govern Pei State, recruit 30,000 local young men as soldiers, and work with the white robe army to resist the invading enemies."

Chu Tian took Lu Su with him and after cultivating Lu Su as his confidant, he decided to decentralize Lu Su and let Lu Su learn to be independent.

Lu Su had no big problem in governing a county.

On the contrary, Lu Su was a little unsure: "But Zijing is so young that he may not be able to take on important responsibilities."

"Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth, not to mention that Zijing followed me to pacify Mount Tai, Beihai, and Pei, and went on an expedition to Mobei to gain experience. If Zijing even marched and fought, and was not afraid of life and death, why should he be afraid of governing Pei? I arranged for Zijing to govern Pei.

The country is also a test for Zijing. If the Yuzhou Army invades again, please invite Zijing to join the army and defeat the enemy together with Chen Ziyun and Xue Rengui."

Chutian's full support made Lu Su relax.

Lu Su became the Prime Minister of Pei State at the age of 18, attracting the attention of countless officials of Pei State.

Peiguo is equivalent to a city. The 18-year-old mayor is also a staff officer of the border defense army. This kind of treatment is simply the envy of countless civil servants. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has risen to the top in one step.

Sure enough, the people who usually follow Chu Tian will fill in the gaps as soon as possible when there are vacancies in various counties.

Unlike those smooth disciples from aristocratic families in Xuzhou, Lu Su defected to Chutian early, was influenced by Chutian, and was regarded as a confidant by Chutian. Although Lu Su was also a disciple of the Xuzhou aristocratic family, Lu Su was a little different. He advocated compromise among all parties.

party’s interests.

Chu Tian left Chen Qingzhi behind, Xue Rengui guarded Pei State, and took away Zhao Yun of the White Robe Army.

He wanted to turn around and deal with Cao Cao. Cao Cao had a fierce general Dian Wei under his command. If he did not bring a bodyguard, Chu Tian would always feel a little uneasy.

He ordered the five schools of the Northern Army, the Huben Army, the Servant Army, and the Reconnaissance Army, which were seriously short of staff, to go to the Yanzhou battlefield, led by Wei Qing.

As for Chu Tian, ​​he used the teleportation array to return to Langya State from Xiangxian County, the seat of Pei State. At the same time, he brought the injured Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Zhende, and Gongsun Ao back to Xiacheng to recuperate.

Wei Qing led his army to march from Yuzhou to Yanzhou, which would take some time. Chutian did not need to march with the army. He could completely use the teleportation array to reach Gongziwen's Jiyin County and directly reach the Yanzhou battlefield.

"It's a good time for you to recover. You must recover from your injuries before attacking Cao Cao."

Chutian arranged famous doctors for them.

Among them, Joan of Arc's injuries were the most serious. Her legions were used as cannon fodder by Chu Tian, ​​and as the general herself, she was inevitably injured.

She looked at Chutian with a somewhat gloomy look. Chutian felt the dissatisfaction of Joan of Arc and felt guilty, thinking that he would make up for it later.

Xia Liang met Chu Tian. She noticed that Joan of Arc's expression was gloomy. She asked Chu Tian in a low voice: "Did you push her down?"

"I swear to God, there is absolutely nothing like that."

"Then why does her expression look weird?"

"She probably realized that she couldn't return to France, and that my oppression of her was indeed a bit...excessive..."

Chu Tian naturally knew where the problem with Joan of Arc arose.

"I tried to comfort her. She was injured during this period, so I shouldn't continue to force her to fight."

Xia Liang tries to appease Joan of Arc.

Chu Tian was really not good at dealing with women, so he gave Joan of Arc to Xia Liang for training.

Xia Liang listened to Chu Tian's story about the Battle of Xiaopei again, but Chu Tian deliberately omitted personally leading the Huben Army into the battle.

She was surprised and said: "I thought that the Prime Minister would choose to clear the countryside and fortify the walls to drain the morale of the Yuzhou army, but I didn't expect that he would choose to fight Tang Tang directly under Xiaopei City."

Chu Tian coughed twice: "I just want to defeat Tang Tang as soon as possible and turn around to deal with Cao Cao. Cao Cao has been suppressed by me for two years. It's time to eliminate him. Absolutely, absolutely not for..."

Xia Tian smiled, and it was obvious that the arrogant Chu Tian wanted to return to Xia City to accompany her. Otherwise, he would not have come back in such a hurry after the battle of Xiaopei.

Although Cao Cao was indeed unlucky.

"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. If it's a girl, it's the same to me, but that guy Fang Xuanling is probably going to cause me trouble again."

In a sense, Chu Tian was really afraid that Fang Xuanling would keep finding new harems for him.

…

In Hedong County, Baibo Valley, the Golden Fire Cavalry galloped past. Meng Tian put on heavy armor and went into battle, only showing a pair of sharp eyes. Dozens of peasant soldiers fell under his halberd.

The Golden Fire Cavalry makes the White Wave Army frightened!

Just like the Tiger and Ben troops and the heavy cavalry from the Tunqi Battalion shocked the Yuzhou Army, the ragged Baibo Army was helpless in the face of the Golden Fire Cavalry and faced a one-sided massacre!

Yang Feng and Han Xian were like chickens and dogs in front of the brave generals of the Qin Dynasty!

"How can a weak peasant army be a match for my elite cavalry?"

Meng Tian sneered at fighting with a weak peasant army. With Meng Tian's arrogance, he could only raise his fighting spirit unless the opponent was an elite army.

"I have no power to restrain a chicken!"

Lu Bu fought with Xu Huang, the most powerful general of the Baibo Army. Fang Tian's painted halberd slashed and stabbed fiercely, and the fight was fierce! Xu Huang fought with a mountain ax for dozens of rounds, but gradually became exhausted and was knocked off his horse by Lu Bu!

Although Lu Bu's exclusive weapon was taken away by Xue Rengui, he made a king-level Fang Tian painted halberd as a weapon, which was equally brave and unparalleled.

"My lord has a word, let him live!"

Li Jue stopped Lu Bu who wanted to kill Xu Huang.

"What's the use of keeping such a weak man? Ming Gong has me, Lu Fengxian. He can command the infantry, and I can command the cavalry, so we can conquer the world!"

Although Lu Bu didn't care about Jiujiang Lao Qin's order, he still had to obey.

In order to check and balance Lu Bu, Jiujiu Lao Qin gave Lu Bu less than 10,000 cavalry. Jiujiu Lao Qin had a group of loyal subordinates, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Wu, Li Xin, and Yang Dayan. They held military power. Even if Lu Bu wanted to rebel, he would not

You need to weigh how many troops you have.

Even though Lu Bu could kill hundreds of thousands of people, he still couldn't withstand the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops.
