Tens of thousands of Xiangyong were summoned to the base of Yingling City, and under the cover of chariots, they risked being shot by the defenders and filled the moat with dirt and sandbags.

Taishi Ci stayed behind at Yingling, and felt powerless in the face of Chutian's aggressive campaign to serve as cannon fodder. He consumes bows and arrows to shoot Xiangyong, not only can't damage Chutian's main army, but also consumes a lot of arrows.

The moat is gradually being filled, and the meaning of its existence is only to delay for more than ten days.

"Taishi Ci is a fierce general. If he can serve me, Qingxu will be at his fingertips."

When Chutian learned that Taishi Ci was guarding the city, he couldn't wait to get Taishi Ci. No one is too much of a fighter.

"My lord, there is an urgent report from Langya State..."

Hua Mulan brought the letter from Xiacheng to Chutian.

"Hou Jing really launched a rebellion, the bystanders are clear, the authorities are confused."

The letter records Hou Jing's mutiny.

Chutian handed the letter to Chen Qingzhi. Chen Qingzhi took the letter, and when he saw the above-mentioned story on the paper, he couldn't help but get annoyed. His character was calm, and even though he was captured by Chu Tian, ​​he did not panic, but this time he was provoked by Hou Jing.

"Isn't this your plan?"

Chen Qingzhi has a lot of ingenuity, but his ingenuity made him worry too much, and he thought that Chutian was deliberately recruiting him and deliberately designed it.

"As Xuzhou Mu, General Andong, and the fourth and third princes of my ancestors, how could I play these little tricks?" Chu Tian was righteous, "I deeply regret the matter of the Jiujiang Prefect, and I will inform my son as soon as I know it. Cloud you."

Chen Qingzhi carefully looked at Chu Tian, ​​who had a serious expression.

Chutian wanted to recruit Chen Qingzhi, but he was not in a hurry, because he believed that Chen Qingzhi would ask him.

The best way to make a talent loyal is to force the other party to take the initiative to ask for admission.

Chen Qingzhi calmed down again and remained silent.

Chu Tian was still indifferent to Chen Qingzhi's reaction.

He was waiting for Chen Qingzhi to take the initiative to join him.

Besides Chutian, which other nearby princes could lend troops to Chen Qingzhi to defeat Hou Jing?

Yuan Shu's main army suffered heavy losses, and the prefects in various places became more independent, unable to take care of themselves. Tongque, the prefect of Lujiang, is attacking Danyang County. Cao Cao was still struggling.

Only Chu Tian had the strength to pacify the Hou Jing rebellion.

Chen Qingzhi was probably struggling.

Chu Tian waited patiently.

Chutian is like a demon who can lend Chen Qingzhi's power, and the price Chen Qingzhi has to pay is allegiance from now on.

Cao Gui, who was also a prisoner, saw that Chen Qingzhi seemed to want to take refuge in Xuzhou Mu, and he was also struggling. Xu Zhoumu had been with him all the time, and it was impossible for him to return to Taishan Taishou.

Xuzhou Mu is like a black hole, and he will never let go of talents who are caught.

Lu Su reported to Chutian about the preparations for the siege: "There are 30,000 strong men from the Beihai Kingdom, and it is expected that the moat will be completely filled in five days. With the materials collected from the nearby county towns, the military craftsmen can produce double-tip cannons (catapults). ) Sixty, twenty double-bow crossbows, siege towers…”

Now Lu Su has become Chutian's little follower. Different from the image of the old and good man in Romance, Lu Su is actually a powerful figure, who can lead troops to fight, can also make suggestions, and can also serve as a foreign minister, with potential worth cultivating.

【Name】: Lu Su

【Loyalty】: 85

[Feature 3]: Rich (A-level characteristic, the economic development speed of the city where the city is located +5%, and the attractiveness to merchants and squires is greatly improved)

...

Lu Su also involved an important achievement - "the four major governors of Soochow". If he can obtain the attributes of "the four major governors of Soochow", Lu Su's ability will be even more amazing, which is why Chutian wants to cultivate Lu Su.

Moreover, Lu Su was still young, and he trained the younger generation of generals along the way. Five, ten, and twenty years later, they would be loyal old officials.

If Lu Su was placed in some small forces, he might be able to be on his own, but in the Chutian forces, he should not be able to take up the position of the great governor, but join the army, or be a temporary deputy general.

In this expedition to Qingzhou, Chutian intended to cultivate Lu Su and ordered him to assist Le Yi in preparing for the siege.

Jiaozhou Bay, Buqi County, Donglai County, Xu Sheng and Zheng Zhilong occupied this county almost effortlessly. The county magistrate heard that Xuzhou Mu sent Fubo Corps, looked down at the wind, and regarded Xu Sheng and Zheng Zhilong as guests.

The Fubo Legion is all navy soldiers, and their combat capabilities on land will inevitably decline, but their main generals are Xu Sheng and Zheng Zhilong.

Xu Sheng has the characteristics of "courage" (level A, the smaller the number of troops, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the troops), perseverance (level B, the defense power of the troops +12%), and Zheng Zhilong has the characteristics of the king of ships (level S, the attack power of naval divisions +12%) 15%), the two men each led 5,000 navy soldiers ashore, a total of 10,000 people, and their combat effectiveness was not weak.

Xu Sheng's 5,000 people were fourth-order Soochow archers, and Zheng Zhilong's 5,000 people were first-order to third-order ordinary sailors.

"Two adults, there is a soldier entering Buqi County, and the number of people is about 20,000!"

Xu Sheng and Zheng Zhilong were planning to attack Beihai Kingdom from another direction. Beihai Xiang Kong Rong led 20,000 troops to expel the Fubo Army.

"20,000 people, who is the commander?"

"I don't know."

"Are we going to take the initiative to attack this army?"

Zheng Zhilong asked Xu Sheng's opinion.

"The main force of the lord's army is all out, and Zhao Gongzi should not have time to send the main force to expel us. Therefore, I conclude that this army is a partial army and can take the initiative to attack."

Xu Sheng and Zheng Zhilong had a simple discussion, and they could take advantage of the opponent's underestimation of the enemy and make a surprise attack.

A sailor who cannot fight on land is not a good sailor.

So Xu Sheng and Zheng Zhilong led the army out of the city, claiming they were going to loot the nearby villages...

Kong Rong personally led the troops to expel the Fubo Army, and made the Beihai Iron Hammer Wu Anguo as the vanguard.

"The whole army rests."

Kong Rong expected to arrive at Buqi County, so he ordered the entire army to rest and cook.

"If I were to meet those thieves who attacked Beihai Kingdom, I would kill one with a hammer."

Wu Anguo vowed to assure Kong Rong.

"The military general can win the three armies, and he will definitely be able to build extraordinary achievements. I, Kong Wenju, was born. I wanted to raise the army and do something big, but my fate was tragic, and there were only two counties."

As a prince, Kong Rong was arrogant and had to compromise with reality.

He is a literati prince who has been bullied by the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou, Dong Zhuo, and Prince Zhao, and now he has to deal with Xuzhou Mu, it is too difficult for him.

Suddenly, while Kong Rong's army was cooking on the stove, the Fubo army rushed to its camp!

The archers of the Soochow navy fired a salvo of arrows, and the Qingzhou army on the periphery fell like straws swept by the wind!

Wearing iron armor, holding a spear and a shield, Zheng Zhilong led a small team of heavy infantry as the vanguard, attacked Kong Rong's camp, and wanted to kill Kong Rong!

Kong Rong's army of 20,000 was quickly defeated, and there were countless fleeing people.

"Vulnerable."

Zheng Zhilong's force was not high, but he and his infantry were invincible in Kong Rong's army.

Even Xu Sheng, who commanded the archers to support Zheng Zhilong in the rear, was a big surprise. Kong Rong's army was too vulnerable.

"Master, you retreat!"

Wu Anguo held a 50-pound hammer in his hand and covered Kong Rong's escape with a group of personal soldiers.

"Retreat? Where to retreat?"

Kong Rong was at a loss. He suddenly remembered Zhao Gongzi's exhortation to him that if he was defeated, he could retreat to Jimo, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Jimo was an important stronghold of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the past, with perfect fortifications: "Let's retreat to Jimo!"

Under the protection of Wu Anguo, Kong Rong finally got on the horse.

While Kong Rong was being delayed, dozens of heavy infantry led by Zheng Zhilong came to surround Kong Rong.

Zheng Zhilong saw Kong Rong's flag and knew that the opponent must be a big man. If Kong Rong was captured alive, he would be able to make military achievements!

If you want to be promoted to general, you must not only have ability, but also have qualifications and military exploits, which are indispensable.

"You protect the lord and retreat, I will fight!"

Wu Anguo swung his hammer to meet Zheng Zhilong and his heavy infantry.

The 50-pound hammer hit the iron shield, and a fourth-order heavy infantryman retreated more than ten steps and fell heavily to the ground! The iron shield has been dented, and the huge impact force broke the heavy infantry!

"Open the gun formation!"

Zheng Zhilong's force has not yet reached its peak, and he is not the opponent of the arrogant bull Wu Anguo. He commanded the heavy infantry squad to form a dense spear formation and stab at Wu Anguo.

With brute force, Wu Anguo took the initiative to attack forward, breaking many spears with a hammer, so that the heavy infantry squad under Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but retreat.

"It's a good general. If you manage to capture him, you may get more credit..."

Zheng Zhilong commanded the soldiers to surround it, and dozens of spears kept stabbing out, consuming Wu Anguo's physical strength.

Wu Anguo's weapons are heavy and powerful, and they can do decent damage to heavy infantry, but Zheng Zhilong has already considered his weakness.

Once Wu Anguo tried to break out of the siege, Zheng Zhilong would intercept with heavy infantry. After killing a few heavy infantry, Wu Anguo was panting and sweating like a bull.

Dozens of spears surrounded Wu Anguo, who could no longer walk, and Wu Anguo became a prisoner of Zheng Zhilong.

"How can I, Kong Wenju, become a prisoner!"

Kong Rong beat the horse with a whip in an attempt to escape the dangerous battlefield.

A stream of arrows shot and hit Kong Rong's mount. The warhorse was frightened and galloped. Kong Rong's center of gravity was unstable and fell from the horse's back.

Xu Sheng rode a war horse and lifted Kong Rong with one hand: "Are you a general under Zhao Gongzi?"

Originally, Xu Sheng was only commanding the archers in the rear, but Kong Rong's army disintegrated immediately after being attacked, so that Xu Sheng couldn't help himself go into battle and shoot the fleeing Beihai soldiers with bows and arrows. He caught a glimpse of one of the other generals trying to escape, and shot his mount to death.

Kong Rong's ashes: "I'm Kong Wenju of Beihai, put me down quickly."

Xu Sheng heard that the other party was a descendant of Confucius and had a great reputation, so he had to put down Kong Rong: "Xu Sheng from Langya is disrespectful."

In the face of a famous person like Kong Rong, Xu Sheng really didn't dare to kill him easily, otherwise it would bring notoriety to the protagonist.

In history, in order to kill Kong Rong, Cao Cao had to make people accuse Kong Rong of being unfilial and discredited Kong Rong, so he killed him.

Seizing such a person who is temporarily helpless to him, Xu Sheng can only treat him with courtesy.

Killing Kong Rong doesn't matter, because Kong Rong is no threat.

At present, Chutian has the support of Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong and other Confucian scholars who are older than Kong Rong. Kong Rong's influence is not as good as them. Kong Rong's dissatisfaction with Chutian will not affect Chutian's reputation.

After Kong Rong waited for Xu Sheng to put himself down, he cleaned up his robes and did not look down on Xu Sheng very much.

Xu Sheng muttered: "If Zheng Zhilong catches you, you won't be treated so well..."

As a big pirate, Zheng Zhilong would not talk to Kong Rong about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and Zheng Zhilong was not a character in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he would only use his fists to make Kong Rong obedient.

Although Xu Sheng did not dare to kill Kong Rong, which made Chu Tian's reputation worse, he did not intend to let Kong Rong leave. Kong Rong is now his captive.

Kong Rong was imprisoned together with Wu Anguo. He heard that Wu Anguo was captured alive by a small group of heavy infantry soldiers. Knowing that Wu Anguo was not a strong general, he could not help but sigh.

"Why didn't you find an excuse to kill him? There are countless people who died in the chaos."

Zheng Zhilong was somewhat dissatisfied when he saw that Xu Sheng had captured a troublesome character.

What he wanted was a prisoner, not an uncle like Kong Rong.

"Kong Wenju is full of knowledge and fame, so long as he is placed under house arrest in Xiacheng, there is no need to kill him."

As a native of Langyaju County, Xu Sheng respected the Confucian scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which was different from Zheng Zhilong's thinking.

"If he dares to not give me a good face on the road, let's see if I don't insult him."

Sure enough, Zheng Zhilong didn't give Kong Rong face at all.

"We captured Kong Rong and Wu'anguo, and we could disguise themselves as their troops and attack Jimo and nearby cities to share the pressure on the lord's army. In addition, we contacted the lord in time to inform him that Kong Rong and Wu'anguo were captured for us both. , so as to ask the lord for credit, after all, this is the first time our Fubo Legion has made a contribution."

Zheng Zhilong thought about it for a while, and proposed to use a conspiracy to take Jimo and many other cities.

Xu Sheng's eyes lit up: "It is indeed feasible."

So Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng ordered the navy soldiers of Fubo Corps to change into the armor of Kong Rong Corps, and under the banner of Kong Rong, they began to march towards Jimo.

Kong Beihai's reputation is like thunder in Qingzhou, and he can easily swindle many city gates by using him.

"Where are you going?"

Kong Rong and Wu Anguo were taken away by Zheng Zhilong, and they couldn't help but fear.

"Stop talking nonsense, believe it or not, I chopped you up with a knife!"

Zheng Zhilong glared at Kong Rong fiercely, and Kong Rong was silent.

Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng are completely different styles, Zheng Zhilong's style is more ruthless and cunning.
