An hour before the end of the Battle of Xuzhou, news of the imminent defeat of the army of Langya Kingdom came from Xuzhou, and the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was a sensation!

It is well known that Chu Zimou and Tao Qian robbed Xuzhou shepherds, and Chu Zimou did not hide his ambitions at all, so the princes of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty paid attention to the results of the battle of Xuzhou, intentionally or not.

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

Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, has always regarded Chutian as a strong enemy, and his ranking in the Eastern Han District has now dropped to fifth place, because the population of Liaodong is not as good as that of Guannei.

Territorial rankings do not represent military strength. Mingguan, who had a large number of cavalry and fierce general Chang Yuchun, believed that his military strength was second only to Chutian.

He heard that his most powerful opponent had fallen under the onslaught of the 200,000 Xuzhou coalition forces, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Chu Zimou, I'm here to defeat the lord of the Koryo Kingdom, and I still want to join hands with you to destroy the Koryo stick in the future. I didn't expect your pace of fighting the Central Plains to come to an abrupt end... It is a blessing for us that you fell early, but it may also be a pity. Without a decent opponent, it will be really lonely in the future. ."

Jiujiu Lao Qin, the city lord of Xianyang City in Guanzhong, couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the news: "After all, it is difficult for the power of a county to compete with the power of a state. If Chu Zimou were a little more mature, he would take advantage of the contradictions between the lords of the various counties. If you defeat him instead of forcing him to go south, he won't end up like this. I also want to play with you in the Central Plains in the future. Without a strong opponent in the future, life is really boring."

Jiyin, the prefect of Yanzhou's anti-Cao Cao alliance, heard that Chu Zimou, who supported him to engage in Cao Cao, was defeated, and his mood was even more mixed. Without the support of Chu Zimou, it would be difficult for him to defeat the cunning Cao Mengde: "You supported me to engage in Cao Cao, but I haven't officially started on my side, but you were beaten by the Xuzhou coalition forces..."

Hu Ma, the lord of Taiyuan County in Bingzhou, learned that Le Yi had appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "I don't know if Le Yi's ability is stronger, or my Lian Po's ability is stronger? Chu Zimou, I originally wanted to use Lian Po to defeat you, but it's a pity already."

All the princes and great lords who had Chutian as their potential rivals were more or less relieved when they heard the news of Langya's defeat.

Chu Zimou brought enormous pressure to the various princes in the Eastern Han region.

All the princes who can rise have the ability and ambition, no one will make mistakes easily, they will see who expands faster. If Chu Zimou became the first foreign state shepherd, then as long as he farmed in Xuzhou for a few years, the money he had saved would be enough to support his army to sweep across the area south of the Yellow River, unstoppable.

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

All they regret is the lack of a formidable opponent in the future.

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

Depend on!

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

Not only did Chu Zimou not fall, but he would become an even more terrifying competitor!

In Qu County, Mi Zhu learned that the army of the Langya Kingdom, commanded by Chu Zimou, had won the battle of Xuzhou. He couldn't help but be glad that he joined the Langya Kingdom camp earlier!

Judging from the current situation, the victorious Chutian is likely to go south to attack Tancheng and Xiapi, and replace Tao Qian as Xuzhou shepherd!

The elites of various lords in Xuzhou suffered heavy losses.

I am afraid that it will be difficult to form a powerful coalition to resist the army of Langya Kingdom.

"I've said it a long time ago, it should be helpful."

Mi Fang was very proud of her judgment, his judgment was simply accurate!

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

The relatively simple-minded Mi Fang wondered, "What do you mean?"

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

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang led the rebel army to leave Quxian, and took the initiative to join the army of Chutian. Mi Zhu also ordered boxes of gold and silver to be loaded into the carriage. He knew that now Chutian will definitely need gold and silver. The investment at this time can bring him huge returns in the future.

He Mi Zhu has nothing but money.

Because of the victory of the Battle of Xuzhou, Chutian's reputation was huge in the East China Sea. Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's rebels and horse teams ran rampant in the East China Sea and quickly approached Chutian's army!

Tancheng, where Le Yi was stationed, gained control over the 30,000 defenders of Tancheng. Tao Qian entrusted Le Yi to lead 30,000 soldiers to guard Tancheng and prevent the Langya army from retaliation.

Le Yi's ability is obvious to all, and only he can block the soldiers of Langya Kingdom.

"I didn't expect that they still have a support army, and the support army seems to be able to boost the morale of the friendly army. If I had a better general at that time, or if my special arms could be recruited, the Battle of Xuzhou would not have been the result. "

Le Yi was deeply troubled by the collapse of Song Jiang of the left wing.

If it wasn't for the collapse of the left wing, the central army and the right wing would not necessarily collapse. Not afraid of strong opponents, but afraid of weak teammates.

"Chu Zimou's army will soon go south, and it is necessary to strengthen the defensive fortifications in Tancheng. It may be a good thing that the number of defenders in the city is reduced. The food that used to be two months can now be eaten for more than a year. There are going to be a lot of changes.”

Le Yi is ready to stick to Tancheng for a long time.

If Chutian wanted to attack Tao Qian, the captive of Xiapi, then he had to attack the city of Batan.

If Le Yi knew that it was him, not Tao Qian, that Chutian wanted to capture most now, he would probably not have held Tancheng.

On the battlefield in the southern part of Liangshan Town, Chu Tian ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, count the prisoners, and prepare to take Tancheng in one go.

However, this battle exhausted everyone's physical strength. In order to prevent Le Yi from leading his troops to return for a sneak attack, Chutian and his party prepared to rest in Liangshan Town or Jiqiu County.

A decisive battle destroyed the morale of the opponent, and it would take a long time for the Xuzhou coalition to revive and restore morale. And this period of time was enough for Chutian to surround Tancheng.

"The last general is incompetent and has no physical strength to pursue Yang Ye, please make atonement for your sins!"

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

"Don't blame yourself. Yang Wudi led 10,000 light cavalry deep into Langya Country, and we were unable to capture him alive."

Chu Tian knew that Yang Ye's cavalry had never been defeated during the battle, and he had also eliminated two thousand Xue Rengui's cavalry, which can be said to be a great enemy.

Le Yi was also not captured alive, because Le Yi personally led the Danyang soldiers and about 20,000 soldiers to fight and retreat, and Zhao Yun and Hua Mulan's cavalry had no physical strength to pursue Le Yi all the way. Not only were the people sleepy, but the horses were also starved, and a large number of war horses fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

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

This kind of commander falls into his own hands, and the enemy suffers, and falls into the enemy's hands, and he suffers.

"Master Lu Zhi is exhausted and falls to the ground!"

"Can you be ill?"

"It's just a loss of strength, it's not a big problem."

Chu Tian learned that Lu Zhi, the hero of the battle, was fine, and the stone in his heart fell.

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

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

Without Lu Zhi, Le Yi personally commanded the left wing, and the Women's Army would still have no chance.

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

If Lu Zhi, who was well-known in the Eastern Han Dynasty, died in this battle, then the families in the Eastern Han Dynasty would definitely be a sensation.

Chu Tian personally went to check on Lu Zhi's situation, and several personal soldiers were taking care of Lu Zhi.

"Master Lu has made great achievements, and Zimou has no way of repaying it. When he returns to Xiacheng, he will definitely build a mansion for Master Lu, and record his military achievements for future generations to remember."

Chu Tian is grateful to Lu Zhi, who sees death as home.

Lu Zhi was not a pedantic and disgusting Confucian, but a great Confucian who was upright and capable of military affairs.

"Zimou doesn't have to spend a lot of time. Originally, I thought that I could make a difference in troubled times. But this battle also made me know that my physical strength can't keep up with your young people. In the future, I will still live in seclusion in Langya and be a leader. The idlers are fine."

Lu Zhi was also quite emotional.

He found that his physical fitness was far worse than before, and after leading a battle, he became dizzy.

Heroes are late.

"Forget it, when will Master Lu get itchy in the future, and he can go out to serve as a military advisor. I don't think we will encounter such a bad situation in the future, and Master Lu will need to go into battle in person."

Considering Lu Zhi's old age, Chutian had passed away shortly after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, so there was no need to drain Lu Zhi's residual value in the last few years of his life.

Lu Zhi is here to protect Langya country, and the lord's mansion will worship Lu Zhi free of charge.

A hero, Chutian can still afford it.

"The cavalry of the last general, only 1341 people are left..."

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

She came to report the loss to Chu Tian, ​​and her words were a little choked up.

She suddenly wanted to hug Chu Tian and cry, but the identity of the lord meant that she would not dare to do so.

"Four thousand people, only a thousand people are left..."

Chutian can pass the tragic loss than imagined the picture at that time. It must be Hua Mulan who led the light cavalry to attack the enemy one after another, otherwise it would be hard to imagine that the light cavalry, known for their agility, would suffer such heavy losses.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Chutian didn't know how to comfort Mulan.

He glanced at the gathered generals, and everyone was fighting with blood, more or less wounded.

He saw that there were knife marks on Zang Ba's face, and one of his eyes was bloody.

Probably aware of Chu Tian's sight, Zang Ba said indifferently, "Isn't it the lack of an eye? It's a blessing to survive this time!"

Sun Guan, who was also a thief from Mount Tai, limped and survived several arrows in his body. As a military general, his vitality is much more tenacious than that of Wenchen. In addition, Sun Guan is an extremely tough general, so he survived.

Hua Xiong is even more grinning, his nose is blue and his face is swollen. He is wearing heavy armor of heavy cavalry and has a high defense, but he was hammered by Xuzhou soldiers and suffered heavy injuries.

Zhao Yun and Xue Rengui were injured, and Li Guang was no exception.

The only general who was not injured was Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu, as the backbone of the Langya Kingdom in the battle of Xuzhou, could not put himself in danger.

If any of the fierce generals are killed, they can continue to fight, but once Zhou Yafu is killed, no one can hold the main force of Le Yi's infantry, and there is no suspense in this battle.

Le Yi also wouldn't allow himself to be shot dead, so even after winning, the army of Langya Kingdom would not be able to catch Le Yi.

The importance of the head coach is second only to that of the lord. Sometimes, even the lord is the head coach.

However, Zhou Yafu, who was not injured, was also very uncomfortable now. The continuous command and high pressure exhausted his spirit, and he continued to gently soften his temples to relieve his weakness.

Fang Xuanling roughly counted the losses: "60,000 main force and 11,000 reinforcements were invested in this battle. Only less than 40,000 survived. The cavalry suffered the most losses, and only 4,000 cavalry remained. Xiliang iron cavalry remained Three hundred people..."

In a battle, all the generals were injured, and the force was directly reduced by half. Chutian had never suffered such a big loss.

The thousand Xiliang iron cavalry that Chutian regarded as a treasure, because they were targeted by Le Yi, were besieged by a steady stream of infantry, and there were only three hundred left.

"The armor of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry can be reused, but many Liangzhou horses were killed in battle. It is necessary to purchase the Liangzhou horses used by the heavy cavalry from Liangzhou in order to rebuild the Xiliang Iron Cavalry."

Chu Tian thought that he would have to spend at least 100,000 taels of silver to recruit 700 Xiliang Iron Cavalry again, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

Coupled with other losses, it is equivalent to losing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

"Losses can be made up with loot. Except for the loot on the battlefield, the property of the other four counties is our trophy!"

After Chutian's tragic victory, the first thing to consider is how to make up for the loss.

Because of the losses caused by the war, we must also make up for it in the form of war.

"Contact Mi Zhu and Mi Fang and have them lead their troops to join us."

In addition to relying on plundering loot to obtain supplies, Chutian also resorted to all possible forces, including Mi Zhu and Mi Fang who were looting villages and towns in Guoqu County, Donghai.

The Mi family's financial resources can help Chutian to cheer up quickly.

Without money and food, it takes a lot of time to regain strength.

"Fortunately, no generals were killed... Where are Miss Xia and Li Xiuning?"

Chu Tian counted the heroes this time, but the two who led the lady's army to turn the tide were not there.

Fang Xuanling replied: "They are still taking prisoners. Only by using the prisoners to replenish their troops can the size of the army be restored as soon as possible."

"Collect all the prisoners and take them south to attack Tancheng with the army."

Chu Tian thought that was indeed the case.

The main force of Langya Kingdom and the defenders of Xiacheng were less than 40,000. It was difficult to besiege Tancheng with only this amount of troops. They could only use the prisoners of the Xuzhou coalition forces as cannon fodder to attack Tancheng.

The Women's Army captured about 4,000 or 5,000 prisoners alive and returned to the camp. The two chief officers, Li Xiuning and Xia Xia Liang, were still alive.

Chu Tian personally brought people to greet them: "You have made military exploits in this battle, and I will let people record your credits one by one, and each will be rewarded in the future."

"Lord Lord..."

Xia Xianliang's face was pale, she saw Chu Tian, ​​her lips moved lightly, as if she wanted to say something, but her body shook and she fell to the ground. There are two arrow shafts on the back.
