An hour before the end of the Battle of Xuzhou, news came from Xuzhou that the Langya Kingdom's army was about to be defeated, and the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was shocked!

Everyone knows that Chu Zimou and Tao Qian robbed Xuzhou Mu, and Chu Zimou did not hide his ambitions at all, so the princes of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty paid attention to the outcome of the Battle of Xuzhou intentionally or unintentionally.

Therefore, when the news of the defeat of the Langya Kingdom's army came out, Chutian's competitors had mixed emotions.

Mingguan, the governor of Liaodong, has always regarded Chutian as a strong enemy. His ranking in the Eastern Han District has now dropped to fifth place because the population of Liaodong is not as large as that of the pass.

Territorial ranking does not represent military strength. With a large number of cavalry and fierce general Chang Yuchun, Mingguan believed that its military power was second only to Chutian.

He heard that his most powerful opponent had fallen under the fierce attack of 200,000 Xuzhou Allied Forces, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Chu Zimou, I have defeated the lords of the Koryo Kingdom, and I still want to join forces with you to destroy the Koryo Bangzi in the future.

After kidnapping the Korean woman back, I didn't expect that your pursuit of the Central Plains would come to an abrupt end... It is a blessing for us that you fall early, but it may also be a regret. Without a decent opponent, you will be really lonely in the future.

.”

Jiujiang Lao Qin, the lord of Xianyang City in Guanzhong, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the news: "After all, the power of a county cannot compete with the power of a state. If Chu Zimou was more mature, he could take advantage of the conflicts among the lords of various counties.

If we defeat him instead of forcing him to go south, he will not end up like this. I also want to play games with you in the Central Plains in the future. Without a strong opponent in the future, life will be really boring."

When Prince Wen, the prefect of Jiyin in Yanzhou's anti-Cao Cao alliance, heard that Chu Zimou, who was supporting him behind the scenes in his plot against Cao Cao, was defeated, he felt even more mixed. Without the support of Chu Zimou, it would be difficult for him to defeat the cunning Cao Mengde: "You support me in this plot."

Cao Cao, but I haven’t officially taken action yet, but you were defeated by the Xuzhou coalition forces..."

Hu Ma, the lord of Taiyuan County in Bingzhou, learned about Le Yi's appearance in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "I wonder if Le Yi is more powerful or my Lian Po is more powerful? Chu Zimou, I originally wanted to use Lian Po to defeat you, but it's a pity.

Already."

All the princes and great lords with Chu Tian as their potential rivals were more or less relieved when they heard the news of Langya Kingdom's defeat.

Chu Zimou brought huge pressure to all the princes in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The princes who can rise all have abilities and ambitions. No one will make mistakes easily. They will see who can expand faster. If Chu Zimou becomes the first alien state pastor, he only needs to farm in Xuzhou for a few years and save up.

The money and food were enough to support his army, which swept across the area south of the Yellow River and was unstoppable.

Therefore, the destruction of Langya Kingdom was a good thing for most princes.

What they regret is that they lack a formidable opponent in the future.

All the princes just breathed a sigh of relief. An hour later, the latest news came from Xuzhou that the Langya Kingdom's army had turned defeat into victory and defeated the 200,000 Xuzhou coalition forces. The Battle of Xuzhou ended with the Langya Kingdom's tragic victory!

Depend on!

All the lords who were feeling pity just now couldn't help but curse.

Not only did Chu Zimou not fall, but he also became an even more formidable competitor!

In Qu County, Mi Zhu learned that the Langya Kingdom's army commanded by Chu Zimou had won the Battle of Xuzhou. He couldn't help but feel lucky that he had joined the Langya Kingdom's camp in advance!

Judging from the current situation, the defeated Chutian is likely to go south to attack Tancheng and Xiapi, replacing Tao Qian as Xuzhou Mu!

The elites of various lords in Xuzhou suffered heavy losses, and it may be difficult to form a strong coalition to resist the Langya Kingdom army.

"I have already said that we should provide help in times of need."

Mi Fang was very proud of his judgment. His judgment was absolutely accurate!

Mi Zhu seemed to realize something: "Let's go and meet Chu Zimou as soon as possible. I think he will really want our help. He is very weak now."

Mi Fang, who was relatively simple-minded, wondered: "What do you mean?"

Mi Zhu whispered: "He needs troops and money."

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang led the rebel army to leave Qu County and took the initiative to join Chu Tian's army. Mi Zhu also asked people to load boxes of gold and silver onto the carriage. He knew that Chu Tian would definitely need gold and silver. The investment at this time could be

Bring him huge rewards in the future.

He Mi Zhu has nothing else but money.

Because of the victory in the Battle of Xuzhou, Chutian's reputation was so powerful in the East China Sea Kingdom that the rebels and cavalry of brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were running rampant in the East China Sea Kingdom and quickly approached Chu Tian's army!

In Tancheng, Le Yi was stationed here and gained control of the 30,000 garrison defenders of Tan City. Tao Qian entrusted Le Yi to lead 30,000 soldiers to defend Tan City to prevent the Langya army from retaliating.

Le Yi's ability is obvious to all, and only he can stop the Langya Kingdom's troops.

"I didn't expect that they had a support army. That support army seemed to be able to boost the morale of the friendly forces. If I had a better general at that time, or if I could recruit special troops, the Battle of Xuzhou would not have been like this.

"

Le Yi was very upset about the defeat of Song Jiang on the left.

If the left wing hadn't collapsed, the center and right wings might not have collapsed. Don't be afraid of your opponent being strong, but be afraid of your teammates being weak.

"Chu Zimou's army will soon move south, and Tancheng's defenses must be strengthened. The decrease in the number of defenders in the city may be a good thing. The original two months of food can now last more than a year. If we hold on for a year,

There will be many changes happening.”

Le Yi was prepared to stick to Tancheng for a long time.

If Chutian wanted to capture Xiapi and capture Tao Qian, he had to capture Tancheng.

If Le Yi had known that Chu Tian wanted to capture him the most now instead of Tao Qian, he probably wouldn't have defended Tancheng.

On the battlefield south of Liangshan Town, Chutian ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, count the prisoners, and prepare to capture Tancheng in one go.

However, this battle exhausted everyone's physical strength. In order to prevent Le Yi and his troops from returning for a sneak attack, Chu Tian and his party planned to rest in Liangshan Town or Jiqiu County, and then march towards Tancheng after recovering their physical strength the next day.

A decisive battle destroyed the opponent's morale. It would take a long time for the Xuzhou Allied Forces to regroup and restore their morale. And this period of time was enough for Chutian to surround Tancheng.

"The general is incompetent and does not have the physical strength to pursue Yang Ye. Please atone for your sins, my lord!"

Xue Rengui informed Chu Tian that Yang Ye led the cavalry to escape.

"Don't blame yourself. When Yang Wudi led 10,000 Qingqi deep into the Langya Kingdom, we couldn't capture him alive."

Chu Tian knew that Yang Ye's cavalry had not been defeated during the battle, and even destroyed Xue Rengui's two thousand cavalry, which could be said to be a formidable enemy.

Le Yi was not captured alive, because Le Yi personally led the Danyang soldiers and about 20,000 soldiers to fight and retreat, while Zhao Yun and Hua Mulan's cavalry no longer had the physical strength to pursue Le Yi all the way. Not only were the people trapped, but the horses were also exhausted, and a large number of

The horse fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Thinking of Le Yi, Chu Tian gritted his teeth with hatred.

If this kind of commander-in-chief falls into one's hands, the enemy will suffer; if it falls into the enemy's hands, one will suffer.

"Lord Lu Zhi fell to the ground exhausted!"

"Are you okay?"

"It's just a loss of strength, nothing serious."

When Chu Tian learned that Lu Zhi, the hero of this battle, was fine, his heart dropped.

Lu Zhi broke through Song Jiang's phalanx and almost overturned the situation with one person.

Even though he failed to make a comeback later because Le Yi personally arrived to command the right wing, he succeeded in holding Le Yi back and provided an opportunity for the Detachment of Women to break through the enemy's infantry left wing.

Without Lu Zhi and Le Yi personally commanding the left wing, the Detachment of Women would still have no chance.

It can be said that Lu Zhi was one of the heroes of the final comeback.

If Lu Zhi, who was well-known in the Eastern Han District, died in this battle, the aristocratic families in the Eastern Han District would definitely be shocked.

Chutian went to check Lu Zhi's condition in person. Several soldiers were taking care of Lu Zhi.

"Master Lu has made great contributions, and Zimou has nothing to repay. When he returns to Xia City, he will definitely build a mansion for Master Lu, record his military achievements, and let future generations remember him."

Chu Tian was grateful to Lu Zhi, who regarded death as home.

Lu Zhi was not a rotten scholar who was pedantic and annoying, but a great scholar who was upright and talented in military matters.

"Zimou doesn't have to spend a lot of time. Originally, I thought I could do something in troubled times if I came out of the mountain. But this battle also made me know that my physical strength cannot keep up with you young people. From now on, I will still live in seclusion in Langya Kingdom and be a

Idle people are well."

Lu Zhi was also quite emotional.

He found that his physical fitness was far inferior to before, and he became dizzy after leading the troops in a battle.

The hero dies.

"Forget it, when will Mr. Lu feel itchy in the future, he can go out to serve as a military advisor again. I think we will not encounter such a bad situation in the future, and Mr. Lu will need to go into battle personally to charge."

Chu Tian considered that Lu Zhi was old and died shortly after Dong Zhuo's rebellion. There was really no need to drain Lu Zhi of his remaining value in the last few years of his life.

If Lu Zhi fights here to protect the Langya Kingdom, the Lord's Mansion will worship Lu Zhi free of charge.

Chu Tian can still afford to support a hero.

"The general's cavalry only has 1,341 people left..."

Hua Mulan took off her helmet, her hair was shawl, her eyes were bloodshot, and there were blood stains on her face.

She came to report the losses to Chu Tian, ​​her words choked with sobs.

She suddenly wanted to hug Chu Tian and cry, but her lord's identity meant that she did not dare to do so.

"There are only a few thousand people left out of four thousand people..."

Chu Tian【.】can imagine the scene at that time through the tragic loss ratio. Hua Mulan must have led the light cavalry to attack the enemy formation one after another, otherwise it would be difficult to imagine that the light cavalry, which is famous for its flexibility, would suffer such heavy losses.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Chu Tian didn't know how to comfort Hua Mulan.
To be continued...
