"How is the state shepherd?"

"My lords, the state shepherd's condition has deteriorated, and he may die soon."

"Langya Prime Minister is besieging Langya City. This is the autumn of life and death. If the state shepherd is no longer unconscious, Xuzhou will change hands!"

A group of officials from an aristocratic Xuzhou family learned that Tao Qian's situation was getting worse day by day, and they were even more worried.

Chen Deng, the captain of Diannong, stopped the confusion: "Everyone, please listen to me. The old man of Yuanlong's family came to Xiapi to discuss important matters with his colleagues."

In Tancheng, the defender Le Yi stood on the city wall, observing the army of Langya Kingdom who was besieging the city but not attacking.

He even hoped that Chutian would attack Tancheng day after day, and then hit his head with blood.

Those who are good at attacking cities are also good at defending cities.

Chu Tian calmed down, encircled the points to fight for reinforcements, and then sent Xue Rengui's troops to pacify the counties in the East China Sea, making Tancheng an isolated city, but Le Yi was passive.

Le Yi sticks to the lonely city and can only see how Yang Ye rescues him.

Chutian's tactics are also very simple, that is, Yang Conspiracy, surrounded by points to help, Yang Ye had to save.

The Xuzhou lords and Yang Ye led the 70,000-strong Xuzhou coalition forces to approach Tancheng and confront the Langya army.

Now there are Langya army, Yang Ye 70,000 reinforcements, and Tancheng 30,000 defenders near Tancheng.

This time, Chutian did not fight with Yang Ye in the field, but waited patiently for the opportunity.

Yang Ye repeatedly sent people to provoke him, but the army of Langya Kingdom remained unmoved.

The lords of Xuzhou did not know why Chu Zimou suddenly became a tortoise, and some lords sent people to send women's clothes to the Langya army camp to provoke Chu Tian to fight and imitate Zhuge Liang's humiliation of Sima Yi.

However, Chu Zimou remained unmoved and continued to avoid without fighting.

The lords of Xuzhou gradually lost their temper.

Chu Zimou uncharacteristically avoided fighting, making them uneasy. They always felt that Chu Zimou was brewing something.

"What the hell is he thinking?"

Yang Ye led a light cavalry in front of the Langya army to provoke,

Trying to spy on the movements of the Langya army.

But he was disappointed, the army of Langya Kingdom has been sticking to it and has no intention of attacking.

"What is Chu Zimou thinking?"

Le Yi was on the city wall, and he could already see the flag of Yang Ye's reinforcements.

According to Le Yi's vision, the army of Langya Kingdom was waiting for Yang Ye's reinforcements to arrive. Once Yang Ye's reinforcements arrive, they will fight head-on, defeat Yang Ye's reinforcements, and then attack the city while Tancheng's morale is low due to the defeat of the reinforcements.

His inference is reasonable and reasonable, and it is also the thinking of a normal person.

But after the Battle of Xuzhou, Chu Zimou changed from a lion with claws and claws to a turtle. Not only did he not attack Tancheng, but even if reinforcements arrived, he had no desire to attack.

The two sides have been facing each other, and food and troops from the rear continue to arrive at the front line, changing the balance of forces between the two sides.

"Chu Zimou is still silent. He thinks that his supply capacity of one and a half counties can exceed that of our three and a half counties?"

"The longer the delay, the better for us. He will regret the tactics he chose."

The lords of Xuzhou gradually calmed down after the earliest unease. They had three and a half county states, while Chu Zimou only had one and a half county states (Langya state plus half Donghai state), and the supply capacity of the two sides was quite different. A protracted war is beneficial to them.

"They must think I want to have a long-term confrontation with them, but I'm just waiting... Waiting for Tao Qian to die..."

Chu Tian observed the army formation on the opposite side.

His goal is very simple, to delay Tao Qian's death.

Information about Xiapi City was continuously passed on to Chu Tian. Tao Qian's health was getting worse and worse, and it was estimated that he would die soon.

Finally, a cavalry soldier came to the battlefield of Tancheng and shouted: "Xuzhou Mu Taoqian died of illness!"

For a time, the three armies shook!

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was defeated in the battle of Xuzhou. He was overly frightened. Coupled with his old age and frailty, he died of a serious illness!

With his young capital, Chutian killed the first prince!

With Tao Qian and without Tao Qian Xuzhou is a completely different Xuzhou, and now Xuzhou has no leader!

"Immediately notify the envoys in Chang'an to represent the court, please seal Xuzhou Mu and General An Dong!"

Chutian had been waiting for the news of Tao Qian's death recently, and had already dispatched an envoy to Chang'an.

There can only be one Xuzhou Mu, he wants to stand in front of everyone and become the next Xuzhou Mu, and at the same time, add General Andong!

Although some are not kind, but Xuzhou, the virtuous live in it.

If Tao Qian was not captured and killed, Tao Qian was lucky.

Fang Xuanling bowed to Chu Tian: "Congratulations, lord, you are going to be in Xuzhou, and move to Xuzhou Mu and General An Dong."

"If Dong Zhuo is interested, he should agree. Make the whole army prepare to destroy Yang Ye's army! We have to wait patiently for a news..."

Chutian suppressed the heat, and he couldn't wait to become the shepherd of Xuzhou, a real official of the frontier. After becoming a Xuzhou shepherd, he will completely calm down the troubled land of Xuzhou. The Xuzhou Alliance against him will not exist either, because all Xuzhou lords will be wiped out by him.

In Tancheng, some people in the defenders received news from Xiapi City, and panic spread all over the city immediately—Xuzhou Mu Taoqian died of illness!

"No... No, Tao Qian died a few years early!"

"The people who organized the coalition died of illness, whose orders should we obey?"

"This time it's over, we're defending a lonely city. Once Tao Qian is dead, the chance of winning is even slimmer."

The guard's face turned pale.

God made a joke with them this time.

They thought it was not yet time for Tao Qian's death, but this time Tao Qian died of illness early because of panic and fear, disrupting the deployment of the coalition forces.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was the core of the Xuzhou coalition. Once he was killed in battle, Xuzhou's aristocratic families were ready to move.

"Everyone must not panic and still follow the plan!"

Le Yi tried to control this group of aliens who were somewhat out of control.

Tancheng was plunged into civil strife because of Tao Qian's death.

Yang Ye's army of 70,000 soon learned of the death of Mu Taoqian in Xuzhou. There was a turmoil, and Yang Ye was almost unable to control the situation.

"After Tao Qian's death, Xiapi is unstable. We should temporarily abandon the confrontation with the army of Langya Kingdom, and immediately return to Xiapi City and take control of Xiapi City."

"Xiapi City accumulates the food and grass needed by the army. If there is an accident in Xiapi City, we will be very passive!"

After hasty discussions, the lords of Xuzhou decided to temporarily withdraw their troops.

They plan to protect Xiapi first, and then rescue Tancheng.

Yang Ye learned that Xiapi would be in turmoil after Tao Qian's death, and agreed with the decision of Xuzhou lords to return to Xiapi. He personally led 10,000 cavalry to the rear.

Yang Ye's retreat was orderly, and he was obviously unwilling to give the Langya army any chance to pursue him.

"Yang Ye's army of 70,000 has retreated. Hua Mulan's iron eagle scouts immediately went to investigate to prevent Yang Ye from deliberately retreating and leading us to ambush. Except for Zhou Yafu, who continued to besiege the city, the rest of the army followed."

Chutian decided to follow Yang Ye and defeat the army of 70,000!

Yang Ye's 70,000-strong army was not elite, but the remnants after the Battle of Xuzhou, and their combat effectiveness was not very high.

"Chu Zimou has sent troops!!"

"Damn, he must have heard the news of Tao Qian's death in Xiapi, so he didn't give us a chance to retreat!"

"Don't worry, Yang Ye will block their pursuit. On the premise that we have Yang Ye's palace, Chu Zimou will not be able to catch up with us so easily."

The lords of Xuzhou were very anxious, but they did not dare to march quickly, otherwise the formation would be chaotic, and the army of Langya Kingdom struggled to chase and kill, and the general trend would be gone.

"Yang Wudi is indeed a troublesome opponent."

Chutian dispatched Xue Rengui to attack the city and pull out the village, along with Zhao Yun, Hua Mulan, and Hua Xiong.

Most of the generals of Langya Kingdom followed behind Yang Ye, waiting for an opportunity.

Only the one-eyed Zang Ba is ferocious, and hates the enemy to the core.

"My lord, Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son joined forces with the family of Xiapi to successfully capture Xiapi City and respond to our army! All the defenders in Xiapi City surrendered and are already owned by the lord!"

After Xuzhou Mu Taoqian died of illness, the second important news came.

Chen Gui and Chen Deng and their son saw that the situation was not good. After Tao Qian died, he immediately dispatched people to control the defending troops of Xiapi City and seize military power.

"The father and son of the Chen family really did not disappoint me, and they will be the prefects in the future. The whole army immediately attacked! It makes people cry, Xiapi has fallen!"

Chutian learned that Chen Gui and Chen Deng occupied Xiapi City, and knew that the time for a decisive victory had come!

At the same time that Chutian got the news, the 70,000 Xuzhou coalition forces who were retreating cautiously also learned that Xiapi City had fallen!

After the death of the original Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, the family resolutely abandoned the allied army and joined the kingdom of Langya, considering that the future of the coalition was uncertain and lacked a great lord capable of ruling a state.

The situation of Yang Ye's 70,000 army was not good because of the fall of Xiapi City. They are caught between Tancheng and Xiapicheng, and they will be wiped out if they are not careful!

"Food, all our military rations are hoarded in Xiapi City, and when Xiapi City falls, we will soon run out of food!"

Realizing that the food might be cut off, the 70,000 coalition army was even more panicked, and many lords were even ready to abandon the army and flee.

The army of the Kingdom of Langya claimed that the city of Xiapi had been lost, and was pressing forward step by step.

Yang Ye tried to contain the spread of fear in the army, but his efforts were to no avail, as morale was already declining rapidly.

"The opposing army is in chaos, and we can attack in an all-round way."

Fang Xuanling observed the panic of the 70,000 allied troops and reminded Chutian that the time was ripe.

"Destroy the enemy and avenge the day!"

Chu Tian pulled out the Tang saber and pointed at Yang Ye's army of 70,000!

"kill!"

At this time, there is no formation at all, and the opponent's army is shaken. As long as the entire line is attacked, with the momentum, it can completely overwhelm the opponent!

Hua Xiong and 300 Xiliang Iron Cavalry launched an attack!

The originally invincible Xiliang Iron Cavalry suffered seventeen casualties in the Battle of Xuzhou. This time, it will be a shame!

Hua Mulan clamped the horse's belly and led the light cavalry to charge!

Zhao Yun's white horse followers and white horse cavalry followed closely behind, hunting in white robes, galloping fast!

Li Xiuning's Detachment of Women, Zang Ba and the infantry led by Sun Guan scrambled for the first place!

The opponent lost the city of Xiapi because of the grain storage, and the army was in chaos. This is an opportunity to gain military exploits!

Hua Mulan and Zhao Yun's cavalry were the fastest, taking advantage of their high morale to break through the cavalry behind Yang Ye's Palace, they were like a broken bamboo!

Yang Ye held a spear and confronted Zhao Yun for the first time.

Zhao Yun's force is very high!

"Soldiers have no morale, how to deal with the enemy."

Yang Ye found that his 10,000 cavalry soldiers were swaying, unwilling to fight, and there was nothing he could do.

He now understands why Chutian has not been able to hold on. It turned out that he was waiting for Xiapi City to fall and the 70,000 coalition forces to retreat in a hurry.

Yang Ye can only do his best to buy time for his lord to escape, so as to fulfill his obligations as a minister!

Huaxiong's Xiliang iron cavalry played a huge role in the flat terrain. The iron cavalry cut through Yang Ye's light cavalry, and two or three hundred light cavalry died along the way under the impact of the Xiliang iron cavalry!

"Can't let their infantry leave, I'll stop Yang Ye!"

Zhao Yun reassured Hua Mulan to hunt down the main force of the Xuzhou army.

Hua Mulan's iron eagle scouts crossed Yang Ye at the rear of the palace, caught up with the Xuzhou army's infantry, and attacked, delaying the Xuzhou army's retreat.

The panicked Xuzhou army trampled over hundreds of soldiers died at the feet of their own people.

The iron eagle scouts were haunted and kept appearing behind them, causing the collapse of the Xuzhou army.

"Chu Zimou is going to kill him!"

I don't know which timid lord shouted, and many lords were so frightened that they took a small number of cavalry to leave the main force and fled alone.

The lords take the lead in fleeing, which will only lead to a wider collapse of the Xuzhou army. Hua Mulan's cavalry chases and kills in the rear, until the Tang Dao rolls in his hand...

The infantry of the Women's Army, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan also caught up and participated in the encirclement and suppression of the last main force of the Xuzhou Army.

The 70,000-strong army was crushed and collapsed, and the whereabouts of the various lords were unknown, either dead or fleeing.

Yang Ye once again used the mobility of the light cavalry to protect his lords from retreating to their territory, Guangling County.

The avalanche-style defeat spread to the Xuzhou army, and the number of enemies that Langya Kingdom actually killed was only more than a thousand, but just as prisoners, Langya Kingdom captured 20,000!

All the main forces of the Xuzhou coalition were defeated, and after losing the city of Xiapi, they were unable to fight again.

The army of Langya Kingdom returned to Tancheng, and took 20,000 prisoners to show off their might under the city, and announced to the defenders in the city that the reinforcements had been broken.

Le Yi found that there were no reinforcements outside, and he couldn't hold it any longer. In other words, it doesn't make much sense to continue to stick to it.

Chang'an City, where the Son of Heaven is located.

The envoys sent by Chutian appeared on the court hall, arrogantly said: "Xuzhou Langya Prime Minister, the fourth and third princes, the generals above, when they are in a hurry, the magic soldiers are swept away, and the attack is easy to break down and destroy the enemy. Yu Tangxue, conquered Guangzong City, and slaughtered thirty-six squares! And the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou are rampant, and Langya's son Xingyi Shi, the teacher of Yi Yellow Turbans, eradicates evil and harm, shocks this dynasty, and travels overseas!"

"At that time, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian hired treacherous evildoers to bring disaster to one side, and the people were deeply harmed. Langya Xiangxing raised soldiers to challenge them, and the soldiers moved like gods, and they were famous in the world. They determined snow and frost to save the people of Xuzhou from water and fire. The people of Xuzhou sang: The world is in chaos and the city is ruined, the mother does not protect her son, the wife loses her husband, and she is able to recover and live in peace. The emperor is especially honored, please serve as Xuzhou Shepherd and General An Dong, educate the people, and protect the safety of one party!"

Dong Zhuo's face twitched, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps when he listened to the envoys sent by Chutian to brag.

But Xuzhou Mu Taoqian is indeed dead. At present, the only one who has the ability to rule Xuzhou is Chu Zimou.

Despite Dong Zhuo's reluctance, he said, "Yes."
