Xiapi city in Xuzhou, the governor Tao Qian received an order from the Han court. The Han court supported by Yuan Shao asked all soldiers to go to Luoyang King Qin to prevent Dong Zhuo from entering Beijing.

   Xuzhou governor Tao Qian was one of the princes who prospered all the way. Xuzhou suffered relatively little loss in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Tao Qian's strength did not suffer much. However, not long ago, 50,000 Xuzhou elite soldiers led by Cao Bao and Mi Fang were defeated by Dorgon in an ambush in Beihai Country, and only brought more than 10,000 people back, which made Tao Qian annoyed.

   He brought in Wang Lang, Zhao Yu, and Cao Bao, who were engaged in the governance of China, to discuss how to deal with the dispute between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao and the threat of Chutian in Langya.

   Langya Kingdom is located in the northern part of Xuzhou. After the threat of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou was lifted, Chutian guarding the northern gateway of Xuzhou became Tao Qian's confidant again.

   "Langya Kingdom plundered 800,000 Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou and placed them in Kaiyang and Juxian. If he indulges him, he will probably bring 800,000 Yellow Turbans to the south, coveting the entire Xuzhou. Adults should not be prevented."

   Cao Bao told Tao Qian in detail about the suppression of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, especially the relationship between Mi Fang and Chu Tian, ​​which made Tao Qian frowned.

   "If there is a great chaos today, and the generals under the command of Langya state are extremely brave, even the Yellow Turban army that swept Qingzhou was defeated by him, how should I guard against him?"

   Tao Qian thought that his troops were only used by Mi Fang and Cao Bao. Compared with Chutian's generals, they were not at the same level.

   Chutian could plunder 800,000 Yellow Turbans with less than 50,000 people, but Mi Fang and Cao Bao 50,000 were defeated by Dorgon. Tao Qian is aware of the gap no matter how mediocre.

   There is also Mi's family with an ambiguous attitude.

Cao Bao saw that Tao Qian’s eyebrows were worried, and he probably knew Tao Qian’s defense against Chu Tian, ​​so he said: "I will return from Beihai country in the end, so he is looking for ways to curb the development momentum of Langya country. We have many customers in the Cao family. One of the strangers believed that Chutian, the minister of the kingdom of Langya, would definitely lead an elite division to defeat Dong Zhuo. As long as you do not participate in the Kwantung Allied Forces and concentrate your elite forces, the general will lead your troops into the kingdom of Langya. Go straight to Xiacheng."

   Tao Qian listened to Cao Bao’s opinion and found that it was an unethical conspiracy, so he could not help but hesitate.

   Chutian led an elite division to fight against Dong Zhuo and save the Han Dynasty from the fire and water. If you take this opportunity to attack Langya from the Xiapi Kingdom and the East Sea Kingdom, it may not be too unkind.

   Wang Lang said: "My lord, it is absolutely impossible. The governors and prefects should work together to help the Han Dynasty. The state of Langya is a subordinate of the adults. How can he fight for his own interests?"

   Don't drive Zhao Yu and shook his head.

  Tao Qian dismissed his two subordinates and left Cao Bao alone: ​​"Wang Lang and Zhao Yu are also celebrities, but they don't understand the art of war, and it is useless to discuss with them. You detailed the plan to attack Langya country in detail."

Cao Bao said: "The adults can gradually add soldiers and horses to Tanxian County, so that the number of soldiers and horses in Tanxian County will reach 50,000. If there is a heavy snowfall, the general will lead 50,000 soldiers and horses out of Tan County and force two hundred li to arrive in Xia within three days Below the city, you can break the city in five days!"

  Tao Qian didn't have confidence in Cao Bao: "How can you be the opponent of everyone in Langya? Mi Fang has been in close contact with Chutian, so he can't take a heavy responsibility."

   "The adults can secretly contact the lords of Donghai Kingdom, Pengcheng Kingdom, and Xiapi Kingdom, and jointly divide Langya Kingdom. In the end they will think that they will definitely participate in the action."

   "Let me think about..."

   Tao Qian closed his eyes to rest his mind, Chu Tian secretly contacted the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, which seriously affected his status in Xuzhou.

   Chutian is considering the candidate to attack Dong Zhuo and the candidate to stay in Langya country.

   There are hundreds of prefectures in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Chutian controls a prefecture and is qualified to be called a prince. After the family is big, he can't just leave a small number of people to look after the house as before.

  This time against Dong Zhuo, the system will no longer provide protection to the lord's territory.

There are three defensive areas in Langya Kingdom, located in Kaiyang County in the south, Ju County in the middle, and counties in the north. In other words, Chu Tian must leave at least three guards.

   Xihai County, which is located on the Yellow Sea, is difficult to control due to the remoteness of the road. It also needs a guard stationed there.

"Xu Sheng and Liu Sandao coordinated the defense of Xiacheng, Langya City, Liangshan Town and other southern regions; Xueyue, Sun Kang, and Wu Dun coordinated the defense of central regions such as Juxian, Xueyuecheng, and Yangdu County, Zang Ba and Sun Guan Coordinating defense affairs in the northern regions such as counties and Tobu County. Yin Lishou Xihai County."

   After Chutian possesses the characteristic "Great Virtuous and Good Teacher", Taishan Thief is more loyal to Chutian, and Chutian can rest assured that he can use Taishan Thief as a general to guard the house.

   The most important Xiacheng is handed over to Xu Sheng for defense.

   Although the generals used by Chutian to defend the city are the second-line generals of Langya Nation, as long as they can't defend, they can block the offensive of first-class generals.

   The threat in the south comes from Tao Qian in Xiapi and Tan County.

   Chutian is not very afraid of Tao Qian. Tao Qian lacks famous generals. In fact, he is a powerful vassal in the middle of the world. He gave Xu Sheng more than 10,000 people, enough to defend the southern part of Langya.

  The threat to the north came from the North Sea Kingdom’s Zhao Gongzi and Kong Rong. They had two fierce generals Tai Shici and Xue Wanche, who were more threatened by Chu Tian than Tao Qian.

   However, the main force of Zhao Gongzi was besieging Dorgon, Guan Hai, and Wu Sangui. It is estimated that he would not even be able to participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, once Dorgon is allowed to counterattack, Beihai State will fall again.

   From this point of view, Zhao Gongzi's threat is not big.

   Another threat is the high lords of Taishan County, Donghai County, Xiapi Kingdom, and Pengcheng Kingdom.

   "With only 20,000 people to fight against Dong Zhuo, another 30,000 people defended the city, and at the same time recruited 10,000 Qingzhou Army. After the attack on Dong Zhuo is over, the Qingzhou Army will be disbanded, and the financial burden will not be too heavy."

   Chu Tian was careful, and he still reserved his hand, temporarily selecting elites from 800,000 yellow turban refugees and recruiting 10,000 Qingzhou troops to help defend the city.

   "Master, four hundred horses of light cavalry from Youzhou have arrived, spending a total of 29,121 taels of silver."

"understood."

   Chutian purchased excellent horses to supplement the losses of the high-ranking cavalry, and at the same time expand the scale of the high-ranking cavalry.

   The suppression of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army resulted in dozens of casualties among high-ranking cavalry.

   If the high-ranking cavalry is killed and the horse is still alive, then you need to re-select a suitable source of troops and spend two months recruiting a new Iron Eagle Scout or Datang Archer (Level 10).

   If the horse is killed and the high-ranking cavalry survives, then only a new one needs to be replaced, and the level will not be affected in any way.

   It’s hard to say whether the horse is more important or the cavalry is more important...

   The cavalry can be recruited again if they are gone, but recruits are recruits, not the original veterans.

  Chutian expanded the high-ranking cavalry of Hua Mulan, Xue Rengui, and Li Guang to 300 horses each to perform special tasks, such as roundabouts, hitting the opponent's flanks, cutting off the opponent's food path, and hitting the opponent's morale.

"There are also 150 heavy cavalry horses from Liangzhou to form a heavy cavalry squad. With the existing heavy cavalry, you will have a 300-man heavy cavalry squad. The armor and horse armor of the heavy cavalry are on. It is produced in Bizhen. The armor used by heavy cavalry includes skirts and sleeves. The armor is still used, but the price is several times that of ordinary light cavalry and infantry. The weapon uses horse 槊. The current inventory of horse 槊210 There are also 190 horses in production, and it is expected that they will be all put into storage by December. Of these, 300 will be installed in heavy cavalry squads, and 100 will remain in the warehouse to be used as supplies or to expand the heavy cavalry in the future Scale use."

   "So far, 5,000 ordinary silver-level Tang knives have been produced. The light cavalry is the first to be equipped, followed by the Xiliu Battalion, and the ordinary soldiers again."

"The grade of the oak composite bow is gold grade, and additional materials are needed. It is expensive and only equipped with an archery battalion. Xuzhou archers and Qingzhou archers are equipped with silver grade ordinary composite bows, and city defense archers are equipped with bronze grade single wooden bows. ...".

  The expenditure for each type of equipment is at least a thousand taels of silver.

War horses, horse 槊, Tang swords, cedar composite bows, heavy cavalry armor (cavalry and war horses)...There are also stirrups, reins, shields, military boots, spears, ring knives, arrows, cotton clothes, bedding, tents, iron pot……

   Xia Liang reported to Chu Tian about the preparation of hundreds of strategic materials.

   Chutian is already familiar with all kinds of materials, so it sounds effortless, the only thing that hurts more is the white silver.

   More than half of Langya's fiscal revenue is used for army expansion and military rectification. This is a troubled time. Everything is given priority to the supply of the army to ensure sufficient military virtue. Farming and business are just to get money for the army.

  After the world is peaceful, military expenditure will gradually decrease.

   "Does Zhao Yun mean to be loyal to me lately?"

   "I'm sorry, but I don't see any tendency like this."

   "This time I plan to use favors and invite Zhao Yun to go to Hulao Pass together. Only when he returns to the battlefield, will he have the idea of ​​coming out again."

   Chutian knew that Zhao Yun would be unwilling to be lonely.

   A fierce general at the level of the five tiger generals wanted to disarm and return to the field, but he didn't believe it by killing Chutian. Zhao Yun has been playing for the Shu Han until he is old, and he works hard without complaint. Like Xue Rengui, he is a military commander who can be used for decades.

   "Are you not afraid that Zhao Yun will leave after paying his favor? Or he met Liu Bei, because he got along with Liu Bei, and then was abducted by Liu Bei? At first, Zhao Yun worked under Gongsun Zan, but later turned to Liu Bei."

"That's because Gongsun Zan was killed by Yuan Shao, plus Zhao Yun and Liu Bei had friendship. Up to now, Zhao Yun and Liu Bei have no intersection. If Zhao Yun goes with Liu Bei as soon as they meet, then I have nothing to say... and I There is Xue Rengui over here."

   "Do you think Xue Rengui can keep Zhao Yun?"

"Don't underestimate the life-and-death relationship between the generals. It is not just talking about the death of a scholar for a confidant. Although most people put interests first, there will still be people who pay attention to loyalty. Xue Rengui asked Zhao Yun to participate in the battle against Dong Zhuo. "

   In order to subdue Zhao Yun, Chutian decided to take risks and used his kindness to Zhao Yun to invite him to participate in the battle of Hulaoguan.

   Xue Rengui was called by Chutian. Chutian’s order was very simple. He gave Xue Rengui 5 taels of silver to get Zhao Yun drunk, and Zhao Yun agreed to follow Chutian to participate in the Kwantung Allied Forces.

   Xue Rengui intends to join forces with Zhao Yun to command the cavalry to kill the enemy, so he agreed.

   So Xue Rengui brought a few pots of wine to Zhao Yun...

   "Why are the soldiers and horses in the city mobilized so frequently?"

   Finally, the female military commander who bought an ordinary house in Xiacheng, where the land price remains high, saw soldiers and horses coming in and out of the city from time to time, so she asked someone to inquire.

   "The warlord general Dong Zhuo and Sili Xiaowei Yuan Shao fought in the area of ​​Hanguguan. Sili Xiaowei called on all soldiers and horses to enter Luoyang King Qin. Our lord is expected to send troops soon."

   "The Prime Minister of Langya is going to Luoyang?"

"Probably it is. We Langya state minister is in a righteous manner, to subdue the Taishan thief, suppress the Yellow Turban thief, kill the Yellow Turban army commander Zhang Kai, and the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Liang, throwing his head and sprinkling blood for the court, now the emperor is in trouble, how could he not? go with!"

   "The state of Langya is really a strange man."

   The female military commander heard positive comments about Chu Tian in Xiacheng, and couldn't help but secretly wonder.

   Chutian really hasn’t done anything maddeningly bad. The forces that he attacked were all notorious forces such as the Taishan Thief and the Yellow Turban Army. Moreover, he is the official state minister of Langya. As long as the people under the rule can survive, these people will sing praises to him. In troubled times, people's lives are as cheap as grass, and living is already an extravagant desire.

   Zhao Yun was tried to get drunk by Xue Rengui, and finally agreed to follow Langya's army to participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

  Langya country fierce generals are like clouds, Zhao Yun met Xue Rengui, Li Guang, Xu Sheng and other generals in Xiacheng, and gradually developed friendships, and they have slowly fallen.

   It is undoubtedly the right choice to use the friendship between the generals to keep Zhao Yun behind.

   With Xue Rengui, Li Guang and others, Zhao Yun estimated that it would be difficult to be abducted by Liu Bei.

   When Chutian was preparing for the crusade, other high lords also frequently asked the court to apply for posts as prefects, state ministers, and some even applied for posts as state governors and state ministers.

   Now that Yuan Shao and the Foreigners’ Guild Han League control Luoyang, it is easier to obtain official posts such as prefect, general, and state governor than it was in the time of the Han Ling Emperor.

   In the name of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao made himself a general of chariots, declared Dong Zhuo a traitor, and then canonized officials to win people's hearts.

   Yuan Shu was named the prefect of Nanyang by Yuan Shao, Zhao Long, the lord of Jizhou, was named the prefect of Wei County, and Cao Cao was named the general of Fenwu...

  Lord Mingguan of Eastern Liaoning used the teleportation formation of Xiangping City ~www.wuxiahere.com~ to send 30,000 taels of silver and 700 horses of Liaodong to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao canonized him as the prefect of Liaodong.

   Some lords did what they learned, and also sent Yuan Shao gold, silver and materials to obtain the posts of prefect and state minister.

As for the governor and Zhou Mu, Yuan Shao did not dare to confess it indiscriminately. Basically, no foreigner was made a high official at the rank of governor and Zhou Mu. The Han clan Liu Yu was named Youzhou Mu and Liu Yan was named Yizhou. Mu...

   So a large group of vassals appeared in the Eastern Han District.

   "Yuan Shao went too far."

   Chutian learned that Yuan Shao had sealed the princes, and knew that Yuan Shao wanted to win over all princes with official positions, and asked them to station in Luoyang to resist Dong Zhuo.

   But Yuan Shao went too far, and the number of canonized princes was so large that they went to the hospital in a hurry.

   Chutian was originally the only alien lord who obtained the status of a prince, but now at least five alien lords have obtained official positions on the same level as Chu Tian, ​​which has reduced the status of Chutian’s Langya state.

  Inflation phenomenon is like this.

   When everyone is a prefect or general, the value of the prefect and general decreases.

   Chu Tian was wondering that his Langya state's status had declined, and Yuan Shao's envoy had arrived in Xiacheng.
