"Damn Wu Sangui!"

When Chu Tian led his troops to Yangdu County, black smoke was still billowing from the granary in Yangdu.

Yangdu County was in a mess, many wealthy families and civilians were looted, and shops and houses were burned down.

Because Wu Sangui sent troops to burn, kill and loot, at least 3,000 people in Yangdu County died in vain.

The warehouses in Yangdu County were also looted by Wu Sangui, leaving no gold or silver for Chu Tian.

The granary was burned down. Zhou Yafu organized soldiers to put out the fire and only saved 30% of the grain.

A rage burned in Chu Tian's chest.

He defeated Wu Sangui, but Wu Sangui caused a lot of losses to Chutian.

"If Wu Sangui is caught in the future, he must be killed."

Chu Tian held a grudge against Wu Sangui, and then came to the Lord's Mansion in Yangdu County to occupy the damaged city.

…

Because it was destroyed by Wu Sangui's troops, the data of Yangdu City dropped drastically.

Yangdu City originally had a population of 200,000, but due to war and fleeing, only 110,000 were left. Public security, public support, and the city's efficiency were extremely low.

"It will take at least a year or two for Yangdu City to recover when the people who fled come back."

Fang Xuanling sighed.

"Inquire immediately about Wu Sangui's whereabouts."

Chu Tian ordered the free players of the guild.

After formally occupying Yangdu City, Chutian came forward to appease the people in the city, and public morale and public order were restored.

It is easy to solve the problem of public sentiment and public security, but it will take a long time to recover from the damage Wu Sangui caused to the city.

Occupying the county seat does not mean that he can control the entire county. He also has to divide his troops to pacify each village and town and let them surrender.

It was already very difficult for Chutian to digest just two counties. The area of ​​these two counties was not small, and there were many small and medium-sized lords.

It will take a lot of time and energy to completely annex two counties, implement Xiacheng's governance system in the two counties, reorganize the army, appease the people, and open up farmland.

At present, Chutian's power has reached the limit of expansion. If it continues to expand, the battle line will be stretched, and there will be insufficient troops to control such a huge territory.

As Chutian successively captured Langya City and the two county towns of Yangdu City, the Langya Kingdom became a sensation.

There are only thirteen county towns in the entire Langya Kingdom, and one lord, Chutian, occupied two of them!

"We seem to have failed. We will immediately stop marching towards Xia City."

"Retreat, Chu Zimou has freed up excess troops. He defeated Chang Xi, Wu Dun, and Qi Xiaobai. We are no match for him at all."

The 20,000 coalition troops of the lords of Donghai Kingdom and Xiapi Kingdom were advancing on Xiacheng. They learned that Chutian had already pacified Yangdu County and it would be very dangerous to continue to march towards Xiacheng. So the 20,000 coalition troops began to withdraw from the sphere of influence of Kaiyang County.

The anti-Chutian alliance stopped encircling Chutian and existed in name only.

Chutian also stopped expanding, like a python that needs to digest its prey quietly. This made the nearby lords breathe a sigh of relief.

During the war to occupy the two counties, the territorial prosperity of Mingguan, the lord of Liaodong, once surpassed that of Chutian and became the first in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, as Chutian occupied Yangdu County, Chutian's total territory ranking returned to first place.

Currently, he is the only lord in the Eastern Han Dynasty who controls two counties.

Chutian now has three cities, the large city Langya City, the medium city Yangdu City, and the small city Xia City.

There is also Xueyue Town, which will be upgraded to a small city.

"I didn't expect him to defeat the coalition forces so quickly."

Mingguan was ranked first in the Donghan District for only a few days, and was squeezed out by Chutian. He was quite emotional about this.

The allied force composed of twenty-seven lords from three counties and Taishan bandits was so powerful that it looked like it was going to destroy Chutian in one go. However, under Chutian's rapid offensive, it was defeated one by one.

The most eye-catching ones are Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui's defeat of Changxi's 30,000 Taishan army, Xia Liang's defeat of Wu Dun's 15,000 Taishan army, and the battle between Xu Sheng and Chu Tian in Zhanhun Town.

A series of victories let other lords know that the first lord is worthy of his name, and even the civil servants guarding Xia City can defeat more with less.

In Nanzheng County, Hanzhong, peasant armies all over the mountains and plains were like a tide, attacking the city of Nanzheng one after another.

Hundreds of ladders were hooked up to the city wall, and countless farmers and army ants followed them.

Nanzheng City is the administrative seat of Hanzhong County, which is equivalent to Langya City in Langya Kingdom.

If you capture Nanzheng City, you can dominate Hanzhong.

Facing the endless peasant army, the Hanzhong prefect was besieged for a full month and suffered heavy casualties. Finally, he despaired and escaped from Nanzheng City with the remaining Han troops to Mianyang County.

One hundred thousand peasant troops enter Nanzheng County!

The yellow flags symbolizing the power of the Yellow Turban Army cover the sky!

Although the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was wiped out by the Han court, there were still peasant uprisings in various places, and the foreign lords who obtained the blueprints of the Yellow Turban camp could also call themselves the Yellow Turban Army.

Chu Tian once thought about taking the peasant army route.

But choosing to take the peasant army route means becoming enemies with all the princes.

Therefore, there were definitely not many lords who really had the courage to launch the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Some Liangzhou lords would rather join the Xiliang rebels than become the Yellow Turban Army.

"When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, when the flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will bloom. The fragrance will reach Chang'an, and the whole city will be filled with golden armor!"

Surrounded by the yellow turban chiefs, the lord Zhang Dao entered Nanzheng. When he saw the yellow turbans all over the city, he was immediately filled with pride.

His military strength is enough to give him a chance to sweep the entire Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is the place where Liu Bang flourished, and he could also start his career in Hanzhong.

"The Yellow Turban Army captured the capital of Hanzhong County!"

"The prefect of Hanzhong asked for help from the governor of Yizhou, and the governor of Yizhou sent Sichuan and Shu soldiers to prepare to enter Hanzhong to suppress the Yellow Turban Army!"

"What an eventful year it has been."

First, Chutian powerfully occupied the two counties of Langya Kingdom, and then the Yellow Turban Army swept into Hanzhong, causing chaos in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chutian has not yet completely controlled the two counties.

"Zhou Yafu, you lead a group of troops to attack the villages and towns in Yangdu County that have not yet surrendered."

Chu Tian handed over 5,000 people to Zhou Yafu.

Chang Xi and Qi Xiaobai, the largest forces in Yangdu County, were destroyed by him, and the remaining lords were unable to resist Zhou Yafu's 5,000 men.

Zhou Yafu's performance was stable, and he would not easily win a big victory or lose a big defeat. Therefore, Chu Tian was relieved when Zhou Yafu went on an expedition.

After the battle, Xue Rengui returned to Chutian and became the captain of the personal guard.

He accumulated a lot of experience in this battle and his attributes have improved.

"Bring Zang Ba and Sun Guan here."

Chutian defeated the coalition forces, and the Taishan thieves Chang Xi and Wu Dun were defeated. On the day of the battle between Chutian and Xu Sheng, Chutian also specially brought Chang Xi and Wu Dun to the battlefield to witness Xue Rengui's cavalry breaking the formation.

Style.

Chu Tian believed that Zang Ba and Sun Guan should have realized his strength.

"Now Kaiyang and Yangdu counties have fallen into my hands. If you are willing to surrender, I can forgive you and use you as my general in the future."

Chu Tian believed that Zang Ba and Sun Guan should have at least 70+ commanders who could be used.

After Cao Cao subdued the two, Zang Ba and Sun Guan not only did not betray Cao Cao, but instead helped Cao Cao deal with Yuan Shao and Sun Quan.

They are also one of the few Taishan bandit generals that Chutian plans to use.
