"What's going on with the Qin army withdrawing troops?"

After a day of rest, Chu Tian annexed half of Liaoxi County and prepared to chase after Liaodong.

At this time, news suddenly came from Luoyang that the King of Qin retreated.

The old Qin of the random old man was determined to win Luoyang City, but suddenly retreated secretly, which was a bit difficult to understand.

After an accident occurred in Mingguan, Chu Tian’s other strong enemy, Lao Qin, also had an accident.

According to the reward of the strange spy deployed by Chu Tian in Guanzhong, Lao Qin seemed to be ill.

Lao Qin is older and his health is not as good as Chu Tian and others, so it is normal to get sick.

Do you want to kill powerful opponents like Sima Yi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and others?

At this time, Chu Tian realized that being young was also a good thing.

Some opponents are more difficult to deal with and it is difficult to fight, so you can endure the opponent to death.

This time it was really time to operate. The two powerful opponents suddenly turned over, and Chu Tian faced much less pressure.

"Lord, Zhongxiao Army, seized the Ming army's red-clothed cannon."

After the sky turned white, the incomplete Zhongxiao Army, the Heli Army, returned to the camp and brought back a row of large carriages, which were dragged back with red cannons.

The spoils obtained by Mingguan from the Battle of Songjin, the red-clothed cannons of the Qing army, have now become Chu Tian's spoils.

Because Chu Tian was focused on dealing with the cavalry in Liaodong, he had already neglected the red-clothed cannon.

The red cannons brought back from Mingguan caused considerable losses to the Xia army, but they did not have a decisive effect. What really caused losses to the Xia army was the cavalry legions in Liaodong.

Even so, the destructive power of the red-clothed cannon to morale and formation cannot be underestimated.

Chu Tian and a group of generals who survived the disaster came curiously to observe the red cannon brought back by Zhongxiaojun.

Except for players, ordinary NPC generals do not know much about the red cannon.

Even Chu Tian has never seen such antique-level bronze cannons.

In the era of cold weapons, red-clothed cannons have been weapons that crossed the ages, and they performed well in all sieges or field battles.

"The tiger and leopard cavalry were almost wiped out, and the general was ashamed, so he asked to resign and return home."

Cao Cao resigned with injuries because Xiahou Dun was disabled, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu were depressed and were discouraged.

This battle really shook the foundation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. One out of ten, a large number of veterans and veterans were killed. Even if they were rebuilt in the future, they would be a group of new recruits.

Cao Cao had never fought such a tragic battle.

There were only a few hundred people left in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the Cao family and the Xiahou clan's relatives were not injured.

"An old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their old age and have ambitions. Meng De is in his prime, so how can he retire and return home? Western Liao, Liaodong, and Guanzhong are just a corner of the world, and there is a wider land that can be taken by whip."

Chu Tian appeased Cao Cao, and at the same time he was appeaseing other generals.

The Liaodong Army was bloody and was desperate to fight. After this battle, the generals of the Xia Army were baptized, most of them were seriously injured and realized the cruelty of the battlefield.

If they are not at the right time to appease the morale of the army, then in the next more tragic battle, they may not dare to continue to fight desperately.

"The old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles..."

Cao Cao seemed to have some feelings and would not mention the matter of retiring and returning home for the time being.

"Anyone who has made meritorious service this time will register and register, and all those who should be granted a title of marquis will be granted a title of marquis."

Chu Tian knew it was time to start a large-scale title of marquis.

It is only a matter of time to pacify the north. As long as there is no accident like Mingguan and Lao Qin in the middle, he has enough strength to sweep the entire north.

And at this time, you need to be granted a title to win over the hearts of the people.

The Marquis does not necessarily have power, but they must have status.

For most military generals, they have enough attraction to make them live and die, just like a moth to rush to the flames.

In order to capture the position of the red-clothed cannon, Monk Wanyan Chen was hit by the shotgun of the red-clothed cannon. Although he was lucky enough to die, he was also disabled because of this. The maximum force limit dropped from 96 points to 90 points permanently.

The current commander value of Wanyan Chen is 89 and the martial arts value is 90. He is no longer an emperor-level general, but has fallen to the ranks of king-level generals.

The power of Chutian, Wanyan Chen, was not the first person to decline in force. Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Xiahou Dun all suffered permanent trauma and their strength decreased.

However, the characteristics of Monk Wanyan Chen are still the level of imperial military generals, which are naturally more practical than Hua Xiong and others.

Chu Tian felt somewhat guilty about the disability of Monk Wanyan Chen and his military power decline.

Monk Wanyan Chen followed his order to attack Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde's artillery position guarded by him, and was injured.

Chu Tian’s original intention was to let Monk Wanyan Chen try to plunder the red-clothed cannon. If there were many defenders on the other side, then retreat.

Monk Wanyan Chen was too stupid and loyal, and forced himself to defeat Hong Chengchou and kill Kong Youde. He took the artillery position at the cost of Zhongxiao Army and Heli Hejun.

The Zhongxiao Army and the Heli Hejun did not think that there was anything wrong with the orders of the chief general, but faithfully fulfilled the orders of the chief general.

Chu Tian was also quite moved by the incredible moments of the loyalty of the monk Wanyan Chen and Zhongxiao Army and the Heli Hejun.

"Just be alive, this time I will be granted the title of Marquis of Guannei."

Chu Tian patted Monk Wanyan Chen on the shoulder.

If it weren't for the special props, Chu Tian wouldn't have been able to surrender Monk Wanyan Chen at all. This person is the same as Gao Shun.

Monk Wanyan Chen clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to go through fire and water for the lord, and I will never refuse!"

Chu Tian nodded silently.

Monk Wanyan Chen is really not a polite word. He can sacrifice himself for the lord.

In history, after Monk Wanyan Chen led the Zhongxiao Army and was eventually captured by the Mongols, the Mongolian commander wanted to reuse him, but Monk Wanyan Chen still chose to kill himself.

"Father's title..."

After being seriously injured, Li Guang, who was wrapped in half a rice dumpling, lay on a stretcher. Seeing Chu Tian promised to sign Wanyan Chen as the Marquis of Guannei, he couldn't help but mutter.

Monk Wanyan Chen did not pursue the title of marquis, but was quickly granted the title of marquis, while Li Guang waited for ten years.

"Ahem, General Li Guang killed Duan Piqian, Duan Wenyang and other generals of the Duan Xianbei tribe, and was intimidated by the western Liao Dynasty. He should also be named Marquis of Guannei."

Chu Tian caught a glimpse of Li Guang who was like a mummy. In this battle, Li Guang worked very hard and fought bravely to make up for the losses caused by the previous siege of Duan Xianbei cavalry.

Li Guang assisted Zhou Yafu's army to defeat the Duan Xianbei, one of the three major Xianbei tribes in western Liaoning, and almost destroyed the powerful class of Duan Xianbei. The Duan Xianbei officially withdrew from the stage of "Lord", which was actually a considerable achievement.

The Murong Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei were still jumping up and down because of their more powerful military generals. The relatively weak Duan Xianbei was destroyed by Zhou Yafu and Li Guang.

Once these tribes lose their core characters, they will easily be disintegrated and assimilated.

"Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Lord... Lord... Lord..."

Li Guang, who was wrapped in rice dumplings, heard that he had been granted a title of marquis and had finally stepped into the circle of nobles. He couldn't help but tremble all over excitedly, trying to struggle to thank him, and his movements were a little funny.

The generals who were originally in a heavy mood couldn't help laughing because of Li Guang's behavior.

"You have a good rest and return to Zhou Yafu's subordinates as soon as possible to lead troops."

Chu Tian asked Li Guang to be injured, worried that Li Guang's force would decline permanently like Monk Wanyan Chen.

The red-clothed cannon was too traumatized to Monk Wanyan Chen. It can be seen that although the number of enemies killed by the red-clothed cannon was not large, no one could withstand the bombardment of the red-clothed cannon.

"yes……!"

Li Guang lay back on the stretcher, closed his eyes, showed a peaceful smile, and did not move.

Could it be that this guy passed away because his wish has been fulfilled?

At Chu Tian's instructions, Sun Bin put away his robe and reached out to explore Li Guang's breath, showing a helpless expression.

Li Guang fell asleep just because he was satisfied.

The strange Li Guang frightened Chu Tian. Chu Tian thought that the flying general of the Han Empire would die in this battle.

In fact, it is not difficult to be granted a title in a marquis in troubled times. When you attack other civilized areas in the future, you can be granted titles and ruins.

It was much more difficult to be a marquis during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, because the reign of Emperor Wu of Han was not considered a chaotic era, and wars were not frequent, and the main focus was on striking the Huns.

In real troubled times, there are constant wars every year, and millions of people died in battle. For example, this battle in western Liaoning, there are as many as millions of soldiers and civilians who died in battle between the two sides!

In the future, if the generals make military contributions to other civilized areas, Chu Tian will definitely reward him again. After all, if the generals get the credit and the monarch cannot reward him, they will be dissatisfied and eventually rebel.

Moreover, each reward is higher than the last time.

Not to mention the marquis, even the dukes, princes, and princes are everywhere.

Emperor Taizong of Tang was granted the title of Duke of England, Duke of Liang, King of Hejian, King of Jiangxia, Zhu Yuanzhang was granted the title of Duke of Wei, Duke of E, etc.

All of them are because these generals have made great contributions.

The contributions of the war in the Eastern Han Dynasty were enough to be granted the title of Marquis and Dukes.

If you conquer the main world, wouldn’t you want to be a king?

I'm afraid even if you are a king, it may not be enough.

These are all issues that Chu Tian needs to consider.

In this battle, basically all military generals at the level of the legion commander can be awarded marquis, and the more outstanding generals also have enough military merits to be awarded marquis, such as Li Guang and Wanyan Chen.
