"Lord, Yuzhou Mu is defeated. This is a good opportunity for us to take back Yuzhou!"

Yang Hong, the chief minister, almost used his hands and feet to come to Yuan Shu's dormitory and informed Yuan Shu about the defeat of the Tang Dynasty.

Since Yuan Shu was accused of betrayal by the Tang Dynasty, only a few counties of Yingchuan County were left. Yuan Shu was defeated by Chu Zimou, and was accused of betrayal by the Tang Dynasty. Yuan Shu was so angry that he couldn't sleep.

He heard that the traitor said that the Tang Dynasty had also been defeated by Chu Zimou. He sat up in shock while he was dying, talking and laughing: "That traitor seized my territory, so he immediately called on all the troops in Yuzhou, with Zhang Xun and Ji Ling as generals, to attack the traitor and said that the Tang Dynasty!"

"

Yuan Shu raised 30,000 soldiers and horses, called on all the old tribes to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and personally led his troops to attack Xu County.

However, there was no governor in Yuzhou to respond to Yuan Shu, and the governors in various places in Yuzhou had been replaced by cronies who spoke of the Tang Dynasty. They would rather seek refuge with Chu Zimou of Xuzhou than respond to Yuan Shu.

"Yuan Gongli is seeking his own death."

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh when he learned that Yuan Shu still wanted to make a comeback.

How can the princes who have survived until now be so easy to mess with?

He had been beaten by the foreign prince Chu Zimou and was about to surrender.

Pang Juan came to Puyang City and fought with Cao Cao many times. Facing many generals and counselors led by Cao Cao, Pang Juan lost more than he won, but with Guo Jia's plan, Pang Juan was not defeated and kept Cao Cao at bay.

Chu Tian defeated Cao Cao's largest reinforcements. Now Cao Cao was no longer facing Chu Tian's partial army, but the main army.

Cao Cao gathered all the civil servants and generals in the city. Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Le Jin, Lu Qian, Xue Ti, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and other civil servants and generals were recruited by Cao Cao. Cao Cao also arrived with Yong Mo.

The military commander Li Ling (the grandson of Li Guang) and other military commanders and strangers were recruited through the recruitment order for the Battle of the North.

Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, and Man Chong were sent by Cao Cao to stop Le Yi's army. The offensive of Le Yi's army was very fierce. Although Le Yi was the only one, Le Yi was able to hold back all the generals of Langya State and was extremely capable.

"Now is the autumn of life and death. Yuzhou Mu was defeated by Xuzhou Mu, and Qingzhou Governor's attack on Mount Tai was in vain. If Yuan Benchu ​​does not go south, I am afraid we will have to rely on Xuzhou Mu."

Cao Cao looked around at the civil servants and generals present. He had realized that it was difficult for him to resist Xuzhou's army. If Yuan Shaoru did not come to rescue him, he would be alone.

Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other counselors remained silent. Unlike the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's territory was not small, and his strength would not be much worse than that of Yuan Shao. But now Cao Cao only has two counties, how can he resist having two states?

Chu Zimou in the land?

Zhang Liao also fell into silence. He received the favor of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo and survived the Battle of Mobei.

The ones who were not reconciled were Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan and other clan generals. They followed Cao Cao and fought hard for several years, but in exchange they surrendered.

When Cao Cao was at his most powerful, he didn't even have half of Yanzhou.

The young and energetic Cao Chun was unwilling to give in: "If we make a last ditch effort, we may not lose! Let me command the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to attack the enemy formation and turn the tide!"

Xun You said: "If the generals fight hard, maybe the morale of the army can be used. If they are defeated, they can retreat to Chenliu and give up Dongjun to Chu Zimou."

Cao Cao came back from the Battle of Mobei and hesitated for quite some time. At this time, when he saw that the mastermind Xun You proposed to abandon Dongjun, he couldn't help but wonder: "Dongjun is my foundation. Is it a good idea to abandon the foundation and chase the weak?"

"East County borders Hebei. If Chu Zimou captures East County, he will directly threaten Yuan Benchu ​​and force Yuan Benchu ​​to join the war. If Chen Liu approaches Yingchuan, the lord can borrow Yingchuan County from Yuzhou Mu and join forces with Tang Dynasty to reach Xia.

When Yuan Benchu ​​comes to the end, the outcome is uncertain."

As the mastermind, Xun You could still find an opportunity for Cao Cao to make a comeback even under such critical conditions.

"Forcibly dragging Yuan Benchu ​​down... This is a very good plan."

Because of Xun You's words, Cao Cao ignited his fighting spirit to fight again.

"Report! Yuan Benchu ​​sent envoy Xu You to come!"

Just when Cao Cao's forces were in trouble, Yuan Shao's forces, who were focused on going north instead of south, finally sent envoys.

"Why should Ah Man be anxious? If Ah Man moves to Yecheng and joins Yuan Benchu, great things can happen. Benchu ​​has captured Changshan Kingdom and is marching into Zhongshan Kingdom. Jizhou can be easily obtained."

He heard his voice before seeing him. Xu You didn't come in, so he called Cao Cao by his nickname.

Cao Cao frowned, he was the governor of Yanzhou after all, Xu You was too disrespectful to him.

…

"It's a big deal. There may be changes in Dongjun's affairs."

Xue Yue, who was in charge of the alien intelligence, came to Xiacheng in person to meet with Chu Tian and inform him about the affairs of Yanzhou East County.

Xue Yue placed a stranger in Cao Cao's forces and learned that Cao Cao wanted to abandon Dongjun and join Shuo Tang to guard Chenliu. She immediately reported to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian tried to recruit Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was not easily recruited. Now Cao Cao was beaten by Chu Tian and became Liu Bei, running around.

"Xun You is indeed a top strategist. He dragged Yuan Shao into the water, and we have one more enemy to deal with."

Chu Tian was shocked when he heard that this was Xun You's advice to Cao Cao.

If it weren't for Xun You, Cao Cao would probably have surrendered.

Xun You may not intend to resist stubbornly, but as a counselor, Xun You worked hard to find a living space for Cao Cao's forces.

Cao Cao has a mastermind who is even more difficult to deal with.

"If Cao Cao is unwilling to surrender, he can only beat him until he surrenders."

Chu Tian was just stunned, but he thought that Cao Cao could not escape very far, as Dongjun was adjacent to Chenliu. Even if Cao Cao retreated to Chenliu, it would only cost him a little more trouble.

Only by letting Cao Cao experience despair will Cao Cao completely surrender.

Chu Tian has always used partial troops to deal with Cao Cao. Once Chu Tian uses the main force, Cao Cao will know what despair is and what terror is.

"Has the investigation of Tang's information been completed?"

"Yes. The Tang Dynasty was deeply hidden, but after the Battle of Xiaopei, its subordinates were shaken, so they could bribe Tang's subordinates to obtain information. In the Battle of Xiaopei, the famous Tang marshal Guo Ziyi was in charge of the Chinese army.

There is General Feng Yi, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai."

Xue Yue used the panicked players as a breakthrough point to successfully obtain information about Tang Dynasty.

"Guo Ziyi and Feng Yi... no wonder I used two heavy cavalry to break through their square formation."

Chu Tian was relieved when he knew about these two people.

Guo Ziyi led the Shuofang Army to participate in the suppression of the Anshi Rebellion and was the deputy marshal of the world's troops and horses at that time, possibly a king-level or emperor-level commander.

Feng Yi was one of the twenty-eight Yuntai generals under Emperor Guangwu. He was good at attacking and defending, and at the same time he was humble and did not compete with other generals for credit. He was at least a king-level commander, and kings of all dynasties selected famous generals, and Feng Yi was selected.

The two were famous generals in the Han and Tang Dynasties, second only to Wei Qing, Le Yi and others. With such commanders, the battle of Xiaopei was a little difficult.

Chu Tian knew almost all the generals who talked about the Tang Dynasty's power.

At least the king-level commanders Guo Ziyi, Feng Yi, Li Daozong, the emperor-level generals Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin (the military force is based on historical facts), Xu Chu, and the king-level generals Chen Dao. As for Liu Pi, Gong Du, He Yi and other Runan Yellow Turbans

Chu Tian directly ignored them. In front of a group of fierce generals of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Liu Pi, Gong Du, He Yi and other Yellow Turban generals could only lead a small group of soldiers and horses to engage in guerrilla warfare.

"It is said that the Tang Dynasty's operations in Runan are airtight, and the popular support in each county is above 90. If you attack Runan, the local people will definitely defend the cities. I am afraid that you will lose troops and generals, and it will be difficult to make progress."

Xue Yue reminded Chu Tian.

Runan County in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to the Langya Kingdom in Chutian. It was painstakingly managed and had a large number of fortifications that could withstand it for a year or two.

"In addition, it is said that the Tang Dynasty was supported by the Yingchuan and Runan families, as well as by Wei Zheng, Chen Qun, Lu Fan and other civil servants and generals."

Xue Yue brought up information that Chu Tian was more interested in.

"To say that the Tang Dynasty could replace Yuan Shu is not unrelated to the fact that it has the support of Yingchuan, Runan and other Yuzhou aristocratic families."

Chu Tian probably understood why Tang's rise was so rapid.

With the support of the aristocratic family, it is said that the rise of the Tang Dynasty was a matter of course.

For their own interests, the Yuzhou aristocratic families supported the local princes in Yuzhou to replace Yuan Shu with Tang Dynasty, which represented the interests of their Yuzhou aristocratic families. The strength and forbearance of the Yuzhou aristocratic families were in line with the requirements of the Yuzhou aristocratic families for the Ming Dynasty.

"You have done a good job. You said that Tang Hu is in Yuzhou and is indeed a strong enemy. Unfortunately, his forbearance also has drawbacks. After all, his development speed is slower than mine. If you give him another two or three years, maybe the trend will be achieved.

, but now he only has one Yuzhou."

Chutian simply compared his strength. After he defeated Cao Cao, he was equivalent to having two complete states, as well as two commanderies in Qingzhou, one commandery in Yangzhou, and one commandery in Yuzhou. It is said that Yuzhou in the Tang Dynasty was no longer complete because of the loss of Pei. Therefore.

It's not difficult to deal with either.

"How is Miss Xia's condition?"

The relationship between Xue Yue and Xia Liang is quite good.

"Everything is fine. You can stay with her."

In order to appease Xia Liang's emotions, Chu Tian tried his best to let her have contact with other people and reduce Xia Liang's uneasiness.

…

In Yingchuan County, Yuan Shu commanded the last 30,000 troops to attack Xu County. He wanted to regain everything he lost.

Yuan Shu called on all the noble families and lords in Yuzhou to raise troops, but until now, no one has dared to come to support Yuan Shu.

Although Tang Dynasty was also defeated in Xiaopei, it was undoubtedly more in line with the interests of the people in Yuzhou than Yuan Shu.

"Those idiots would rather support the traitors talking about the Tang Dynasty than support me. I, Yuan Gongli, am the fourth generation and the third Duke!"

Yuan Shu was left alone and furious.

Never had he suffered such humiliation.

"My lord, it is said that Tang's army is coming!"

Yuan Shu hurriedly led Zhang Xun and other generals to fight.
