"Salu Zi will be kept in the stables of the royal palace from now on."

Chu Tian saw that Sa Luzi was shot by Mulan, so he planned to take in the injured Sa Luzi.

Saluzi is one of the six divine horses who followed Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin is also a legendary figure. He was defeated in his twenties and was born in a famous family. He had a virtuous wife, a god-like master, a civil servant, and a fierce general. He was a winner in life.

"You will follow me from now on, and I will be responsible for you."

Chu Tian stroked Salu Zi's fur, unlike the black shadow, Salu Zi is a divine horse with purple hair.

"Ding! The SS-level achievement mission "Zhaoling Six Horses" is launched, and six war horses can be completed with fist Mao Shi, Shifa Chi, Baishi Wu, Tele Piao, Qing Zhi, Salu Zi, and six war horses."

Chu Tian rarely heard the system's reminder.

This time, the achievement mission was to collect six mounts of Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Chu Tian didn't know where Mingguan got Salu Zi, but he knew it was not easy to collect six divine horses.

Each magical horse has a special effect and is priceless.

But Salu Zi was so unlucky that she was almost shot and killed by Mulan, who had 95-strong force, with the armor-breaking arrow made by Moye.

It would be a pity if the mount of Emperor Taizong of Tang was killed in such a battle.

As for the reward for achieving the mission "Six Horses of Zhaoling", Chu Tian didn't know what it would be.

The red-clothed cannon was transported back to Xiacheng.

There is no need to say much about the power of the level 10 firearm.

However, the disadvantages of the red-clothed cannon are quite obvious, that is, the power of the red-clothed cannon is too poor.

Next, Chu Tian plans to expedition to Liucheng to see if he has the chance to completely capture Liaodongcheng.

If Liaodong City can be taken over, then the major problems outside the pass will be completely solved, and there is no need to worry about Liaodong's troubles from now on.

Including the disasters of Goryeo, Liaodong is not considered peaceful.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, after Cao Cao pacified Yuan Shao's forces, he followed Guo Jia's advice and went to western Liaoning, basically pacifying the remnants of the Wuhuan and Yuan clans, so he had the energy to pacify Xilong and Jingzhou in the south.

Chu Tian was in this position and adopted a similar strategy to Cao Cao, who wanted to pacify western Liaoning.

Guo Jia originally wanted to suggest Chu Tian to pursue the victory, but he had already realized that Chu Tian had the intention to occupy the entire western Liaoning, so he did not specifically convince Chu Tian.

Chu Tian also asked the captive generals of the Mingguan force.

At the end of the war, a small number of seriously injured generals did not have time to escape and were captured by the Xia army.

A general covered in blood was brought to Chu Tian.

This military general was not Murong Ba and Murong Ke brothers who Chu Tian was thinking about, but Zhu Neng, a powerful general under the command of Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Neng seemed not very willing to become a prisoner.

"The Ming King has been defeated, and only one corner of Liaodong is left, and no success can be achieved. With Zhu Neng's ability, you are worthy of being famous in history. Why not serve me, fight in all directions, and establish an immortal cause?"

Chu Tian tried to surrender Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng is a cavalry general of the military type. If Zhu Neng can be subdued, Chu Tian’s cavalry lineup will be even stronger.

Zhu Neng was silent, but was unwilling to surrender.

Chu Tian frowned slightly. The generals in Liaodong had become a group, and it was quite difficult to recruit these generals who had joined the group.

Chu Tian's subordinates also tend to join forces, such as the Women's Legion and the Khitan Legion, but the Liaodong Legion is obviously more united and strong.

The Liaodong Army had a sense of honor established by Mingguan, and even the army in the Central Plains opposite dared to work head-on. In other words, Zhu Neng and others had their own pride and would not surrender easily.

Unless it represents the interests of the Liaodong Army, the Ming Pass surrender.

The retreating Zu Dashou was also caught with Zhu Neng.

Zu Dashou was captured by the round table knights on his way to retreat.

Zu Dashou, a military general in the late Ming Dynasty, was not necessarily very loyal to Mingguan.

If Chu Tian spent his time, he could conquer Zu Dashou.

However, Zu Dashou didn't need Chu Tian to spend so much effort to recruit specifically.

"Would you like to serve me?"

Chu Tian just asked Zu Dashou.

"I will serve the Ming King, how can I surrender?"

Zu Dashou did not surrender directly either.

"Treat them and then put them under house arrest."

Chu Tian imprisoned Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou.

Chu Tian valued Zhu Neng's ability more. Although Zu Dashou had problems with his loyalty, he was still a famous general after all.

The most critical generals such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun always followed their cavalry, and it was quite difficult to capture them alive.

In Guzhu City, Sun Chuanting and the defenders finally confirmed that the Ming army was defeated because Chu Tian asked someone to bring the captured Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou to the city to show off the force of the Xia army.

Since Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou were both captured alive and the Xia army had no intention of rescuing the siege, it was almost certain that the Ming army had been defeated.

"General, our army has been defeated, and there is no need to defend this city, where should we go?"

The generals and the school in Guzhu City all looked at Sun Chuanting.

Only less than half of the 100,000 defenders are left now.

Houses in the outer city were demolished and razed to the ground.

Sun Chuanting stood on the city wall and looked to the east, bursting into tears.

Liaodong and western Liaoning generals formed their own system. The current defeat in the war is equivalent to previous efforts and is meaningless.

"There are more than 40,000 troops in Guzhu City, so it will not be a problem to guard it for another month or two. If you have a desperate ambition, you can stay for another three months. It's just..."

Sun Chuanting intends to continue defending the city, but the defenders in the city have no fighting spirit and want to surrender.

As the main general, Sun Chuanting was still in a dilemma.

Geng Yan and Liu Ye continued to put pressure on Sun Chuanting.

In the end, the gate of Guzhu City was opened, and Geng Yan's Youzhou cavalry entered the city.

The morale of the 40,000 Ming soldiers in the city was low and had no fighting spirit.

Geng Yan's Youzhou Tuqi gained a lot of experience because he participated in the Liaoxi War. At this time, he was arrogant and they were the winner.

"Sun Chuanting, please serve the King of Xia."

Geng Yan rode a war horse and came all the way to Sun Chuanting, wanting to surrender Sun Chuanting and let Sun Chuanting serve Chu Tian.

Sun Chuanting just said calmly: "Impossible."

"With your talent, it would be a pity if you die like this. Come and protect Sun Chuanting."

Geng Yan also put Sun Chuanting under house arrest and waited until the Liaodong forces were completely pacified before recruiting them.

Guzhu City, the western fortress of Liaoxi County, was occupied by the Xia army, and only Liucheng, which was in the east, was left in the east.

"I didn't expect it to fail."

Sun Chuanting's face was pale.

Forty thousand Ming troops became prisoners. In order to prevent them from rebelling, these Ming generals were detained. After ordinary soldiers were dispersed, they were disbanded and disbanded into the armies.

Sun Chuanting's special army was the "Qin Army". He was not the Qin soldiers during the Warring States Period, but the officers and soldiers recruited in the Guanzhong area in the late Ming Dynasty to suppress the peasant uprisings of Li Zicheng and others.

Sun Chuanting once made Li Zicheng suffer all the hardships and was almost killed by Sun Chuanting. However, the Ming Dynasty had declined after all, and Li Zicheng and others could fail countless times, while Sun Chuanting could only fail once.

When Sun Chuanting failed once, he was defeated and died.

Sun Chuanting was still a second-rate general, so Mingguan asked him to lead an army of 100,000 to defend Guzhu City.

Sun Chuanting did not disappoint Mingguan's expectations, but the main force of the Ming army failed, and it was meaningless to continue to defend Guzhu City. At most, it could only restrain tens of thousands of troops of the Xia army.

For the Xia army that occupied the Central Plains, Hebei, Youzhou and other places, they could easily send tens of thousands of troops to siege Guzhu City.

Three months? Chu Tian can even be besieged for three years.

Sun Chuanting's Qin army was guarded alone, and these people only followed Sun Chuanting's orders and were not stable.

The news of Guzhu City being captured by the Xia army spread throughout the Han Empire!

The loss of Guzhu City cannot affect the overall situation. What really affects the situation in the Han Empire is that the main force of the Liaodong Army is lost. In the battle of the Han Empire in the north, Chu Tian’s chance of winning has reached 90%.

In Lujiang County, Sun Jian was dispatching troops and was about to attack Hefei for the third time. He heard that the Xia army had captured Guzhu City and the main force of the Ming army was defeated, with a complicated expression.

Sun Ce had grown to the peak at this time, tall and strong, and was the second commander of Jiangdong with Zhou Yu. When he learned that the main force of the Ming army had failed, he came to persuade Sun Jian to stop attacking Hefei: "Father, the Xia army defeated the Ming king in Liaoxi. Most of the main force of the Ming king was defeated, and a few generals were captured by the Xia king. In Liaodong, the Liaodong chaos. At this time, we lead the Jiangdong army to attack Hefei, and the main force of the Xia army could arrive in Shouchun at any time. At that time, not to mention that Hefei could not be captured, if the Xia king personally came to Shouchun, gathered troops and counterattacked Lujiang County, wouldn't even Lujiang County be lost?"

Sun Ce’s worries are not without reason.

Because of the existence of the teleportation array, the Xia army can gather troops from a long distance very quickly.

The cost of the teleportation array was not expensive, but in the unified war of the Han Empire, the princes threw real money and silver into it regardless of the cost. Therefore, the cost of the teleportation array was not a problem in the eyes of the red-eyed princes.
