Chapter 359 In the Spring of 6 Years, Chu Zi Plotted Against Me (2)

Latest website: Gong Ziwen obediently handed over the account books of Jiyin County and Shanyang County to Chutian to show that he did not transfer the gold and silver of the two counties privately.

Jiyin County has a population of less than 2 million because Gongzi Wen and Cao Cao have been fighting for years. These populations either died in battle or fled to other counties because of the war.

Shanyang County is similar to Jiyin County, and its population is not as high as that of Jiyin County.

Gong Ziwen is very cooperative, since he chose to rely on Chutian, there is no room for him.

Chutian repaid the princes who took the initiative to take refuge in him, and still appointed Gongziwen as the prefect of Jiyin County, enjoying the treatment of the prefect. As long as Gongziwen has accumulated prestige in the Chutian forces, it will not be a problem to be a prefect in the future.

Gongziwen was the first person to help Chutian actively suppress Cao Cao. Although Gongzi Wen suffered repeated defeats, he caused a lot of trouble to Cao Cao, and the credit for containing Cao Cao was definitely not small.

In order to ensure his loyalty, Gongziwen ceded his general Pang Juan to Chutian, and relieved the relationship with Pang Juan.

The relationship between Pang Juan and Gongziwen is equivalent to the relationship between Li Xiuning and Xia Xia Liang. Xia Xia Liang once wanted to cede Li Xiuning to Chutian, but was rejected by Chutian.

Pang Juan, Chu Tian must bring it over. After all, Gong Ziwen is not someone you can absolutely trust.

Chutian can see Pang Juan's attributes, among which is the heavy infantry "Wei Wuzun" similar to "Yanjia".

【Name】: Pang Juan

[Talent]: Diamond Commander (Infantry)

[Level]: 61

[Identity]: Famous general of Wei State during the Warring States Period, apprentice of Guiguzi

【Loyalty】: 70

[Commander]: 88 (up to 89)

[Army]: 80 (up to 82)

[Intelligence]: 79 (up to 81)

[Politics]: 53 (up to 55)

【Charm】: 30

【Aspect】: Arrogance

[Favorability]: 55

[Feature 1]: Ghost Valley Art of War - Incomplete (S-level characteristic,

Under the tutelage of Guiguzi, he is quite satisfactory, but due to his personality flaws, he has not been able to master it. Allies attack +10%, defense +10%, morale recovery +10%)

[Characteristic 2]: Break the city (A-level feature, when your own troops attack the city, attack power +12%)

[Feature 3]: Underestimate the enemy (negative characteristic, when encountering a counselor with intelligence above 92, it is easy to be tricked, and the probability of being ambushed increases)

[Special Arms]: Wei Wuzu (seventh-order heavy infantry, the upper limit is 10,000)

Pang Juan's attributes are not bad, almost close to the king-level commander, but he has a fatal negative characteristic "underestimating the enemy", when facing top-level advisors and first-class advisors, he will be counted to death.

If Xia Xia Liang hadn't sent Guo Jia to Pang Juan as a military advisor, Pang Juan would have been restrained by Xun You.

No wonder Pang Juan faced Cao Cao, often losing more and winning less...

Gong Ziwen appointed Pang Juan, who had flaws, as the main general, and he could block Cao Cao for such a long time, which shows that his ability is not bad.

In any case, as long as Pang Juan is assigned a qualified military advisor, Pang Juan, who has Wei Wu's pawn, can also be on his own.

Pang Juan's ability is not first-class, but his arms are really powerful, on par with Le Yi's 10,000 Yanjia. Of course, if we really want to fight, Pang Juan is not Le Yi's opponent.

There are only seven ranks of Wei Wuzu, because of their huge number. Pang Juan's 10,000 Wei Wu soldiers are only a part, Wu Qi's Wei Wu soldiers are terrible, but Wu Qi has 50,000 Wei Wu soldiers, 40,000 more than Le Yi's Yan Jia!

Pang Juan joined, so that Chu Tian, ​​who lacked an infantry commander, had another available general.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Jiyin County and Shanyang County?"

After Chutian annexed Gongziwen's forces, he immediately counted the soldiers and horses of Gongziwen's forces.

Gongzi Wen said: "There are only 412 soldiers left in Wei Wu, and there are about 50,000 soldiers and horses, most of them are low-level troops, there are also 2,000 ordinary heavy infantry and 500 heavy cavalry. In addition to 50,000 soldiers and horses, there are also There are 30,000 villagers who help to transport food."

Gong Ziwen is also a ruthless man.

Chutian looked at Gongziwen's population, and when the two counties were added together, there were only 3 million people left, and there were still 50,000 professional soldiers and 30,000 villagers. You must know that professional soldiers are different from rural braves. The more professional soldiers there are, the heavier the burden on the people will be. Gongziwen fought with Cao Cao for several years, and the number of soldiers killed was terrifying.

Even so, Gongziwen still maintains a huge regular army.

If it wasn't for the consumption of Gongziwen and Cao Cao, which gave Chutian a big advantage, Gongziwen could also become a prince.

"Lord!"

Xu Rong and Hua Xiong, two warriors from the Western Liang faction, met with Chu Tian. Dong Zhuo is dead, they are unlikely to betray Chutian, they were sent by Chutian to help Gongziwen to contain Cao Cao, and they have not seen Chutian for a long time.

Chutian was still satisfied with the performance of Xu Rong and Hua Xiong. With the abilities of Xu Rong and Hua Xiong, it was rare to delay Cao Cao, who had experienced many battles.

Cao Cao is no longer the hot-blooded young man who was on the rampage at the beginning. From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the battle for Yanzhou and Mobei, the current Cao Cao has grown up and has become a veritable imperial commander.

As the commander-in-chief who fought the most tough battles, fought the most large army battles, and had a high winning rate in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was actually a formidable opponent. It's just that Cao Cao has been pinned down, and this has not developed.

That is to say, Xu Rong and Hua Xiong are getting more and more difficult to face Cao Cao, and Xu Rongyuan is not the opponent of the peak Cao Cao. If Chu Tian does not intervene in person, Cao Cao is estimated to rise again.

Xu Rong counted the number of people to Chu Tian: "There are only 6,000 light cavalry left in the Xiliang army, and more than 500 people in the Xiliang iron cavalry."

Gongziwen had 50,000 men, while Xu Rong's army of Xiliang had only 6,000 men.

The Fifth School of the Northern Army added a group of new recruits, and the average combat effectiveness decreased, but the number increased to 15,000. Wei Qing recruited 3,000 feathered forest cavalry, and the reconnaissance regiment was supplemented to 10,000. This batch of supplementary recruits directly used the teleportation array to come to the Yanzhou battlefield.

About ten thousand recruits were recruited, consuming tens of thousands of taels of silver. In order to eliminate Cao Cao's forces, tens of thousands of silver were consumed.

There are more than 80,000 troops assembled in Jiyin County.

There were about 40,000 Leyi Corps attacking Dongjun from Jibei Kingdom.

There were more than 120,000 soldiers and horses in total.

With more than 120,000 people attacking Cao Cao's two prefectures and states, there were less than 100,000 people. Chutian was in a partial military superiority. At the same time, there were also village braves summoned by Gongzi Wen to transport food and grass.

Guo Jia was sent here to assist Pang Juan. At this time, he returned to Chutian and replaced Lu Su as the army.

Lu Su can also govern a county, and Guo Jia is a simple counselor.

Chu Tian joined Fang Xuanling, Guo Jia, and Cao Gu to join the army, and used 120,000 troops to destroy Cao Cao as soon as possible.

"Cao Mengde is a famous commander. If he can drive me, I can conquer the world."

Chu Tian praised Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was almost invincible at the end of the Han Dynasty if no commanders from other dynasties had been recruited. Cao Cao was difficult to confront Zhou Yu in the Yangtze River, but in the battle of the large army in the north, Zhou Yu was far inferior to Cao Cao.

"This time, Pang Juan served as the vanguard and advanced to Puyang. The cavalry was divided into two units, and they fought in a roundabout way to quickly defeat Cao Cao. If Xiahou Dun of Juancheng sent troops to attack our grain road, we would send a cavalry back to the division and defeat Xiahou Dun."

After a brief discussion with Fang Xuanling, Guo Jia, and Cao Gu, Chu Tian continued to fight against Cao Cao with Pang Juan's army as the main force.

There were 50,000 troops in Pang Juan's army, and Chutian separated 10,000 cavalrymen and gave them to Wei Qing. Wei Qing's Yulin Corps consisted of 3,000 Yulin Cavalry and 10,000 Yanzhou Light Cavalry. With Wei Qing's bonus, even the ordinary Yanzhou light cavalry can explode into a powerful battle.

Pang Juan's remaining legion, mainly infantry and crossbowmen, formed the third main infantry legion, the Wuzu Legion.

Following Zhou Yafu's defensive corps and Le Yi's offensive corps, Wuzu Corps became another main infantry army, with Wei Wuzu as the core.

"Young Master Zhao, you are in charge of transporting the food."

"Yes."

Zhao Gongzi gave up his status as a lord and took the line of civil servants. He probably knew that Chu Tian didn't want to see him in charge of the army, and becoming a civil servant was already a good way out.

"Chu Zimou has arrived in Yanzhou!"

"Is Chu Zimou finally here?"

Cao Cao's power, people are panicked, the reputation of the princes Chu Zimou is shocking in Yanzhou, and everyone is shaken when they hear the reputation of Chu Zimou.

This may be the most powerful enemy Cao Cao has ever encountered.

Chutian used two emperor-level commanders at one time, one was the imperial-level commander of the infantry department, Le Yi, and the other was the imperial-level commander of the cavalry department, Wei Qing, who attacked from Jibei Kingdom and Jiyin County respectively.

Chutian himself can also be used as an imperial cavalry commander.

Joan of Arc is one of the few imperial heroes in France, Zhao Yun is an imperial general...

Hua Mulan, Pang Juan, Taishi Ci and other generals are not easy to deal with.

"If you lose the battle, you will retreat to Chenliu and join with Yuzhou Mushuotang."

Cao Cao swore his oath again and could only be forced to fight with Chu Zimou to defend Dongjun. When Dongjun fell, Cao Cao was left with Chenliujun.

The most difficult areas in Yanzhou were not Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom, but Dong County and Chenliu. As long as Dongjun and Chenliu are taken down, Yanzhou will announce it.

"Where are the fifty thousand soldiers that Yuan Benchu ​​promised me?"

Cao Cao asked Xu You, who was stranded in Puyang, about Yuan Shao's reinforcements.

Yuan Shao promised to help Cao Cao with 50,000 troops and Cao Cao had the courage to continue fighting.

"Gao Su's 50,000 soldiers have arrived in Baima County."

"Let Gao Su be careful, I suspect that Chu Zimou will use cavalry to intercept Gao Su again."

Cao Cao had seen the power of Chutian's cavalry in the Battle of Mobei, and he had lingering fears about it.

Yuan Shao sent to support Cao Cao this time. Gao Su, King of Lanling, a cavalry general, crossed the Yellow River to support Puyang. At the same time, Yuan Shao sent Feng Ji as a military advisor to assist Gao Su, and at the same time play the role of supervising the army, preventing Gao Su from taking away tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

"Yuan Benchu ​​is about to own the entire Jizhou, but I only have two counties left. It's really fateful."

Cao Cao thought that Yuan Shao's forces were developing well, and he was forced to ask Yuan Shao for reinforcements, and he couldn't help feeling emotional. Cao Cao was once more powerful than Yuan Shao, and eventually became Yuan Shao's younger brother.

In Baima County, Lanling King Gaosu and Yuan Shao's military advisors were ordered to come to reinforce each other, and 50,000 Jizhou soldiers entered Yanzhou.

Gao Su put on a copper mask with a hideous face, covering his face.

Because of his handsome appearance, King Lanling wore a mask every time he entered the battle in order to intimidate the enemy.

"It is said that Chu Zimou is heroic and invincible, but Chu Zimou even a mere Cao Agui can't be eliminated in two years. It is estimated that it is only a false name."

Feng Ji successfully crossed the Yellow River and found that Chu Zimou did not send anyone to stop himself and Gao Su's army in Baima County, so he couldn't help but underestimate the Xuzhou army.

The 50,000 Jizhou Corps marched towards Puyang. Once the 50,000 Jizhou Army and Cao Cao's 30,000 defenders converged, it would be even more difficult to capture Puyang City.

"The Jizhou Corps has already crossed the Yellow River. The commander may be Gao Su, the King of Lanling. The Gaosu Corps has left the white horse and has marched for nearly 20 miles, including about 10,000 cavalry."

Hua Mulan reported to Chu Tian the marching route of the Gao Su Army, and there was a war eagle on her shoulder. The route of the Lanling King's Army has been detected.

"Yuan Shao can be considered to be loyal, but he still sent a support army to support Cao Cao."

Chu Tian was riding on a Dawan horse, looking down at the plains around Baima.

The Yellow River has been diverted many times in history. At this time, Baima and Puyang are south of the Yellow River, crossing the Yellow River, which is the sphere of influence of Hebei Yuan Shao.

Historically, the White Horse was where Guan Yu attacked and killed Yan Liang.

This time, Chutian will fight against Yuan Shao's military general, Lanling Wang Gaosu, and Yuan Shao's military advisor Fengji in Baima.

Fang Xuanling said: "Yuan Shao is indecisive after all. Yuan Shao both attacked northern Hebei and went south to support Cao Cao. As a result, the two forces would only be insufficient, and at most one could only win, and the other would be a disastrous defeat. What's more, both sides will be defeated. If Yuan Shao uses all his troops from Jizhou to go south, I am afraid that the lord will have to temporarily avoid his edge."

"Indeed."

Chutian can not deny.

If Yuan Shao used all his troops from Jizhou to cross the Yellow River in a big way, Chutian would be under great pressure.

It's just that Yuan Shao was greedy and wanted to get northern Hebei, but he was not willing to give up the chess piece of Cao Cao, so he only sent Gao Su and Feng Ji as a partial division.

"The disputes within Yuan Shao are quite serious. The two groups of Jizhou and Yuzhou are fighting, and Zhao Long, what role does he play in Yuan Shao's forces?"

Chu Tian couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of the complicated power struggle within Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's internal civil servants were already running against each other, and there was a powerful alien prince Zhao Long, who was always willing to submit to Yuan Shao.

To say that Zhao Long has no ambition and is willing to drive for Yuan Shao, he would not believe Chu Tian to kill him.

Perhaps Zhao Long was waiting for the moment.

Chu Tian temporarily gave up speculating on Zhao Long's intentions: "No matter what Yuan Shao's power is, if he chooses to come to support Cao Cao, he will destroy him!"

Chu Tian waved his hand, and a large number of cavalry appeared. This time he was going to raid Gao Su, the King of Lanling!

There are three cavalry battalions of the Fifth School of the Northern Army, plus the Huben Army, there are about 10,000 cavalry, mighty, Joan of Arc holding the battle flag, commanding the Yueqi Battalion and Changshui Battalion of the Fifth School of the Northern Army. She glanced at her lord intentionally or unintentionally, as if Chutian no longer regarded her as cannon fodder.

Hua Mulan's reconnaissance corps and Wei Qing's Yulin corps began to detour, and Xu Rong's Xiliang corps marched towards Baima, cutting off the back road.

A large number of elite cavalrymen gathered around the Lanling King Corps, and Chu Tian, ​​the famous general crusher, once again went into battle in person.

A hunt begins.
