In the main world, in Taiyuan City, Bingzhou, Li Mu tried to release the elderly, young, women and children in the city to reduce the pressure on food in the city.

Yang Su, the commander who surrounded Taiyuan City, refused to allow the commander-in-chief, to drive the elderly, young, women and children back to the city.

The food and grass in Taiyuan City have been exhausted.

According to the unwritten rules between players, the war between the two sides will not go to the point of cannibalism. When the food and grass are cut off, either surrender or break through.

Hu Ma went to participate in the war, and Li Mu chose the latter as Hu Ma ordered.

At night, Li Mu led the Taiyuan City defenders to break through, break through Yang Su's encirclement, pass through Yanmen, and flee to the south of the desert.

The next day, Zhao Long's general Yang Su occupied Taiyuan City, cleared out the remnants of Hu Ma's forces in Taiyuan County, and replaced them with their own confidants.

At this point, the power of Huma, the Governor of Bingzhou, was in name only.

Hu Ma participated in the competition for Hebei region many times and had two famous generals in the Warring States Period, but he still lacked strategy and was eliminated by Zhao Long with just one move.

He served as the commander of the pacification of Bingzhou as the first commander of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su, who entered Taiyuan County and his reputation reached its peak.

The powerful general Shi Wansui was driven by Yang Su and served as Yang Su's escort.

"The commander of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan, and many Black Mountain Army generals, asked for a visit!"

"Please come and see me."

Yang Su entered the lord's mansion in Taiyuan City, and the huge amount of wealth accumulated by Hu Ma was owned by him.

Soon, Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain Army with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist, and the Black Mountain Army leaders came to pay a visit to Yang Su.

Zhang Yan is also a powerful general. He has been traversing the Taihang Mountains for many years, but has never been wiped out.

However, under the continuous attacks of Zhao Long and Shi Wansui and Han Qinhu, Zhang Yan was once captured by Shi Wansui and had already been loyal to Zhao Long.

Zhao Long ordered him to take charge of the Heishan Army and jointly attack the counties and counties of Bingzhou.

Behind Zhang Yan is a group of Black Mountain generals with force ranging from 60 to 90. They have all kinds of fancy nicknames, such as Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Feiyan, Zhang Leigong, Li Damu...

These Black Mountain generals did not even dare to breathe in front of the pair of generals Yang Su and Shi Wansui.

Shi Wansui was at the level of the Five Tiger Generals. He captured Zhang Yan alive, which made the Black Mountain Army frightened.

Zhang Yan asked, "Where is the lord?"

"The lord is currently fighting in other places. According to the agreement between the lord and General Zhang, after occupying Bingzhou, General Zhang will be appointed as the prefect of Shangdang County and will never go back on his word. As for other generals, each will have rewards."

After Zhao Long left, Yang Su temporarily took on Zhao Long's role and comforted the Black Mountain Army.

The Heishan Army had a population of 100,000 among the peasant army at the end of the Han Dynasty, and was quite powerful in combat.

Zhang Yan was overjoyed when he saw that Yang Su, the commander left by Zhao Long, had indeed given him the official position of the prefect of Shangdang County as promised.

The other Black Mountain generals also had their own appointments, and their loyalty increased for a while.

"However, if you want to be firmly in the position of prefect, county magistrate, general, and lieutenant, you still need to do one thing."

Yang Su's voice changed, leaving the Black Mountain generals, including Zhang Yan, silent.

Zhang Yan took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter?"

Yang Su said: "Yecheng has been besieged for a long time, and only one or two months, if the food and grass are exhausted, it will fall like Taiyuan City. Therefore, Yecheng must be saved."

Zhang Yan and a group of Black Mountain generals looked at each other. They also knew that Yecheng was plotted by the Yanzhou Mu Chu Zi, and Xuzhou Mu Xia Tianliang was besieged for a long time and was about to be defeated.

If Zhao Long's power perishes, then all their previous efforts will be wasted and the official positions they obtained will be gone.

"Now we have the troops from Youzhou, Bingzhou and Jizhou, which is enough to lift the siege of Yecheng. Now we have 100,000 soldiers from Youzhou, 100,000 soldiers from Bingzhou, 100,000 soldiers from Heishan, and 100,000 soldiers from Jizhou, a total of 400,000 troops from a total of 400,000 troops to rescue Yecheng together with Liu Bei's army. Our army has many soldiers and a general is full of momentum, and we will plan and rescue Yecheng again. Nine out of ten things will be sure to do so. Don't be loyal to you."

Yang Su was arrogant and his tone was firm, as if he could easily break the siege of Yecheng, making the Heishan Army believe in him.

Zhang Yan asked, "I don't know when to send troops?"

"The 400,000 troops gathered in Taiyuan, and waited for the lord to return, and immediately head south, pass through the Fukou Xing, and quickly defeated the enemy troops that attacked Yecheng. As long as you defend Yecheng and consolidate Hebei, Chu Zimou would not be able to capture the land of our three states even if he had thousands of troops."

"Zhang Yan receives the order."

The Black Mountain general went down to rectify his troops.

The troops in Youzhou, Bingzhou, and even Jizhou gathered quickly with Taiyuan City as the center.

As the imperial commander, Yang Su had an amazing ability to dispatch troops and food and grass. He also subdued a group of surrendered generals in Bingzhou and prepared to lift the siege of Yecheng.

If he successfully lifted the siege of Yecheng by the legions south of the Yellow River, then Chu Tian would face the major forces of Youzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou, almost equivalent to Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu.

Xia Tianliang, who was responsible for besieging Yecheng, was under tremendous pressure, and she was also frantically dispatching the legion to Yecheng.

The situation between the two sides is similar to an arms race, competing with who has more troops, more food and grass, and a thicker foundation.

"Pingyuan County, Qinghe Kingdom surrendered violently to its ally Wang."

"Wang Meng's speed is so fast, it seems that Liu Bei had already wanted to annex Tian Qi. There are nine counties and states in Jizhou, and now Liu Bei owns four, and the rest are owned by Zhao Long. The only princes in Hebei are Zhao Long and Liu Bei."

Xia Tianliang did not expect Tian Qi to be killed in the Jingkang Rebellion, and the two counties and states belonging to Tian Qi became homeless.

After realizing that Tian Qi was killed, Xia Tianliang immediately sent people to Pingyuan to win over the local defenders. However, Liu Bei had the intention to annex Tian Qi. The lobbyist Su Qin (the income from Liu Bei's entry into Youzhou) persuaded Tian Dan and surrendered to Liu Bei.

As a representative figure of the Zongheng master, Su Qin has almost no lobbying effect on players, because players are not easily affected by Su Qin's abilities, but NPC is extremely easy to be persuaded by the Zongheng master.

Xia Tianliang was even more afraid of Liu Bei's power.

Liu Bei's perseverance is probably more terrifying than all local princes and players. He sent the straitors to win over the talents of Jizhou early.

Every special talent has its own special role, and Su Qin, the representative of the straitor, is no exception.

"Liu Bei doesn't know how many talents he has attracted in secret. He is really a terrible person. No, just with Liu Bei's ability, he should not be able to do this. It should be Chen Xi, the player behind Liu Bei, who is mainly planning for him. Wang Meng and Su Qin are the executors."

Xia Tianliang infers the internal work of Liu Bei's power based on what has happened recently.

If it is just Liu Bei, a npc prince, then it is not to be afraid. However, there is a player military advisor behind Liu Bei, then his potential is much stronger than that of ordinary local princes. Only then can Liu Bei continue to endure humiliation and start to turn the tables with a county and country, just like he performed in Xinye.

During his tenure as the governor of Youzhou, Liu Bei gathered a group of talents from Youzhou, including heroes from other dynasties recruited by various lords of Youzhou in the early stage, including the rank of the tyrant Su Qin.

Chutian's forces also noticed this.

However, the biggest enemy facing Chutian forces at present is Zhao Long. Zhao Long's threat has overwhelmed Liu Bei who is hiding in the dark.

"Maybe Liu Bei is the biggest beneficiary among the princes of Hebei. Could it be... Mulan, map."

Xia Tianliang suddenly thought of a possibility.

Mulan took the map and spread it on the desk. This map of Thirteen State marks the various forces and military forces, and they are intertwined.

The Chutian forces have conducted investigations on all forces and have the ambition to annex the thirteen states.

"I think I understand Liu Bei's strategic intentions. Only Yi Ren has such crazy ideas."

Xia Tianliang carefully scanned the princes who still existed throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Tian Qi was killed in battle, and the Huma forces were in name only, and fewer and fewer princes in the entire Eastern Han area were found.

Mulan wondered: "Sister Xia, what exactly did Liu Bei want to do?"

"He is waiting for an opportunity. Whether Zhao Long wins or loses, he is a winner. Chen Xi is indeed a qualified military advisor. Not only does he help Liu Bei gain a foothold in the fierce battle for hegemony in Hebei, but his power potential is becoming increasingly huge."

Xia Tianliang has completely seen through Chen Xi and Liu Bei's plans.

Mulan still didn't understand: "Whether you win or lose, you are the winner? Is there such a thing in the world?"

"If Zhao Long wins, Liu Bei can go south to capture Qingzhou. If Zhao Long loses, he will flee to the south. With his current team, it will be easier to make a comeback."

It’s cold in summer that I can’t help but think of Liu Bei in the Xinye period.

In the Battle of Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou, Liu Bei failed and annexed some of the troops in Jingzhou. In the Battle of Red Cliff, Sun Quan won, and Liu Bei occupied part of Jingzhou's territory, but he was still the winner.

Liu Bei has a very strong ability to take advantage of the situation.

This time, Chen Xi probably wanted to make full use of Liu Bei's ability to make a gorgeous comeback.

"Southern? Where will he escape to the south?"

Mulan looked at the map. In the south, there were only four prefectures, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou and Jiaozhou. All of them were already occupied by princes. It was difficult for Liu Bei to intervene.

"Ninety-one is..."

Xia Tianliang was discussing with Mulan, and Li Xiuning came in and reported to Xia Tianliang: "Sir, the troops you recruited have arrived in Yecheng. In addition, there are 100,000 new recruits recruited by various prefectures and counties."

"Um."

"Please see the strategist Xu Ziyuan, claiming that he can take down Yecheng within ten days."

"Xu You? Let him come in and see me."

Soon, Xu You arrived anxiously, with a nervous look on his face.

"Xu Ziyuan, what's the matter?"

Xia Tianliang knew that Xu You was also a strategist with some ability, and was familiar with Hebei, so he had to rely on Xu You to guide Hebei this time.

Xu You said anxiously: "I heard that Taiyuan City has been captured by the Jizhou Army, Zhao Long's army is about to move south, and our army is in danger!"

"I have heard of the fall of Taiyuan City. Does Xu Ziyuan have a plan?"

It seems that the summer is cool and it is not in a hurry.

Xu You said, "I met many aristocratic families in the city. Now Ye City is flooded with floods, and the food and grass are about to end, and people are in panic. As long as I write several books and send people to the city, if I don't leave ten days, there will be people who will be afraid to open the door and present to the city."
