Chutian was worried that the Langya Congress would fall into a food crisis and stopped the forced landing of the Yellow Turban Army.

Even so, there was still an endless stream of Yellow Turban troops queuing up to attach themselves to Chu Tian every day.

It seems that being welcomed by the Yellow Turban Army is not a good thing...

Among the 600,000 people, most are old, young, women, children, and skinny refugees, and only one-third are young and strong.

The success in suppressing the Yellow Turban Army is generally flawed because there are not many elites with real combat effectiveness among them.

The Qingxu coalition forces marched eastward and surrounded Jimo City.

Once Jimo City is defeated, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army will basically be declared destroyed.

Kong Rong did not expect that he would one day regain Beihai Kingdom, so he personally rode on horseback to persuade the Yellow Turban Army to surrender, hoping to persuade Dorgon with benevolence, righteousness and morality.

However, he received a barrage of arrows in response, and Kong Rong fled.

"There are a group of professional soldiers recruited by Dorgon in Jimo City. He originally planned to use Jimo as a base, select the elite Yellow Turban Army, convert them into professional soldiers, and establish a feudal kingdom. Currently, there are about 15,000 professional soldiers in Jimo. Fortunately, the court advanced

Suppress the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, otherwise once they are allowed to establish a feudal kingdom with 200,000 soldiers, the threat will be greater than the million Yellow Turban Army."

Mr. Zhao introduced the situation in Jimo to Chu Tian. In addition to the 15,000 professional soldiers, there are also 100,000 young Yellow Turban troops in the city. These are the escape routes left by Dorgon. When defeated, they can retreat to Jimo and wait for changes.

.

Chutian observed the fortified Jimo City. Jimo City has a moat and a majestic city wall. In addition, Dorgon deliberately turned this place into a fortress, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Chu Tian even doubted whether he could capture Jimo City if all his troops were exhausted.

The cavalry is basically useless in attacking fortresses, and only infantry and archers can be relied on.

Dorgon was very cunning and hoarded grain and grass in Jimo. At the same time, he expelled the old, young, sick and disabled from Jimo City in advance, leaving only professional soldiers and the young and strong Yellow Turban Army to reduce the consumption of grain and grass.

As long as he has soldiers and food, and uses the military camps in the city to convert the young Yellow Turban soldiers into professional soldiers in batches, he will have 100,000 professional soldiers, and there may not be no chance of a comeback.

Dorgon was even more difficult to deal with than Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui often suffered defeat at the hands of Chu Tian. But Dorgon could only be suppressed by the cooperation of Chu Tian and Mr. Zhao.

"During the Warring States Period, Yan general Le Yi defeated Qi, and Qi general Tian Dan held on to Jimo. Le Yi was unable to capture Jimo for five years. Later, Tian Dan used a divisive plan to force Yan to change generals, and then used the Fire Ox Formation to defeat the Yan army and kill him.

The generals of Yan rode and plundered, and took advantage of the victory to conquer more than seventy cities of Qi."

Facing the majestic Jimo City, Chutian could not afford to attack.

Even if Chu Tian had 100,000 soldiers, he would be defeated and bloody if he attacked Jimo.

"We can only besieged."

Mr. Zhao discussed with Chu Tian and finally decided to focus on siege.

Dorgon was engaged in a battle between trapped beasts, and the Qing-Xu coalition dug trenches outside the city, set up arrow towers and city walls, and surrounded Jimo on three levels and three levels outside.

"I have ordered the rear to recruit more soldiers and warriors to completely strengthen the defenses outside the city. If Dorgon wants to be a tortoise, then I will make sure that he never comes out."

Mr. Zhao successively regained several counties and owned half of the country of Beihai. He could mobilize more local braves and troops.

At this time, Chu Tian had the idea of ​​retreating.

His goal of plundering the population has been achieved. Dorgon was blocked by Prince Zhao in Jimo, so the threat was not great.

Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling predicted that the siege of Jimo might take a year or even several years to end.

Beihai Kingdom is not Chutian's sphere of influence, and the capture of Jimo does not belong to Chutian.

At the same time, Cao Cao defeated the Yellow Turban Army again in Le'an Kingdom.

However, Cao Cao's Dongjun troops suffered heavy casualties under the fierce counterattack of the Yellow Turban Army, and were unable to continue the crusade and announced their withdrawal.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was crippled, with only a little over 100,000 of the 270,000-strong crusade left. The mighty Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was suppressed.

The biggest beneficiaries were the Qingzhou lords who took the opportunity to expand their territory, and Chu Tian and Cao Cao who plundered a large number of people from Qingzhou.

Chu Tian proposed to Mr. Zhao the idea of ​​​​retreating the troops: "Jimo is left to you to besiege. I estimate that it will not be conquered for more than a year and a half."

"I will continue to surround Jimo City until the food supplies run out."

Mr. Zhao has troubles that he cannot tell. Jimo is a nail in the Beihai Kingdom and he has to pull it out.

Chu Tian could just walk away, but he would continue to fight with Dorgon.

Chu Tian officially announced his withdrawal and handed over the hard work of besieging Jimo City to Mr. Zhao.

He didn't want to waste a few years of development in Beihai Country.

On the way back to the army, the leaderless Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army followed the great sage Chu Tian and blocked the official road with great force.
