"My lord, the envoy from Chariot General Yuan Shao wants to see you!"

"Why did Yuan Shao send an envoy?"

Before Chu Tian summoned the envoys sent by Yuan Shao, he asked Fang Xuanling to speculate on Yuan Shao's purpose.

Under the instigation of strangers, Yuan Shao occupied Luoyang, coerced the emperor to command the princes, and made himself a cavalry general. No player in the Eastern Han Dynasty could have imagined that Yuan Shao would have such a strong side, and they were still shocked.

Fang Xuanling put down his brush: "My subordinates heard that Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army has occupied Tongguan, and Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army went south to approach Luoyang. They are attacking Luoyang with Dong Zhuo. Luoyang is in danger. Yuan Shao sent people, fearing that he might not be able to enthrone the lord, to ask the lord to go to Luo for support."

"Ten times out of ten."

As the first lord and the Prime Minister of Langya, Chu Tian has huge influence among the player community. Since Yuan Shao has the support of Yiren, he will definitely mention to Yuan Shao about using Chu Tian's forces to deal with Dong Zhuo.

The only benefit Yuan Shao could give Chu Tian was an official position.

But Chu Tian is already the Prime Minister of Langya, what other official position can Yuan Shao give him?

The prime minister is equivalent to the governor, and above him are the governor and the governor. There is also Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, above Chu Tian. With Chu Tian's prestige, Yuan Shao will not easily appoint him as a frontier official at the governor level.

"Bring him in to see me."

Soon the envoys sent by Yuan Shao arrived at the lord's mansion.

Yuan Shao's envoy bowed with a somewhat arrogant expression: "I am Xu You, whose courtesy name is Ziyuan."

When Chu Tian heard the name of the visitor, he remained calm on the surface, but was shocked inside.

Except for Fang Xuanling, he rarely saw historical counselors. The Xu You in front of him was undoubtedly a historical counselor, and he was one of Yuan Shao's counselors. He had been friends with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao when he was young.

In the Battle of Guandu, Xu You defected to Cao Cao and offered Cao Cao a strategy to burn down the Wuchao where Yuan Shao's army was stationed for food, and helped Cao Cao win the Battle of Guandu. However, he was eventually killed by Cao Cao because of his pride in his merits.

Yuan Shao sent Xu You to Langya Kingdom, but it was not difficult because there were teleportation arrays in Luoyang City and Langya City. Before the fall of Luoyang, Chu Tian did not order the teleportation array to Luoyang to be closed.

Xu You's tone was rather arrogant: "The Langya Kingdom has received the order. In memory of your contribution in suppressing the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, the General Chariot and Cavalry recognizes you as General Fubo. Looking to the Prime Minister of Langya State, General Fubo Chu Zi plans to send troops to Luoyang City as soon as possible.

, crusade against the traitor and traitor Dong Zhuo."

General Fubo?

Chu Tian got a new official position inexplicably.

The most famous Fubo general in history is Ma Yuan, a general during the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Western Han Dynasty. He followed Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu in his campaigns to the east and west, conquering Longqiang in the west, Jiaozhi in the south, and Wuhuan in the north.

Although General Fubo is one of the miscellaneous generals, he is still a general after all!

Now Chutian has another title, General Fubo...

"I accept the order."

For Yuan Shao's kindness, Chu Tian led him, not to mention that this was the reward he should have. He, Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Zhao Gongzi and others suppressed the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

Chu Tian's reward should have been canonized by someone sent by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, but after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao followed suit and gave Chu Tian a favor.

"When does Prime Minister Langya plan to send troops to Luoyang?"

Xu You wanted Chu Tian to promise a specific time for dispatching troops.

"I am ill and it is inconvenient to send troops..."

Chu Tian is not easily bribed by an official position. Chu Tian doesn't care about a mere general position. If you have money, food, soldiers and horses, the court will naturally continue to promote you.

What's more, this official position was Chutian's reward for suppressing the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

Xu You was confused: "What's wrong?"

"When I went north to attack the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou, I was accidentally hit by a stray arrow, making it difficult to fight. The doctor said that if the bones and muscles are injured for a hundred days, I'm afraid we won't be able to send out troops until December."

Chu Tian deliberately pretended to be ill to avoid fighting.

Now in Xiliang, the morale of the Guanzhong Allied Forces is strong and their troops are sharp, and Chu Tian is not ready to help Yuan Shao block Dong Zhuo.

Xu You couldn't tell that Chu Tian was pretending to be ill, and said in a stern tone: "Is it possible that General Fubo doesn't want to help the Han Dynasty?"

"I'll definitely go when I get better. Sir, do you want to stay in our Xia City, or go back to Luoyang?"

Chu Tian was unmoved. He was even thinking about whether to keep Xu Youqiang and then subdue Xu You.

However, Xu You was not a loyal minister. He was arrogant and behaved erratically. If Xu You was appointed as a military advisor, Chu Tian would not feel at ease even when he slept.

After thinking for a while, Chu Tian decided to drive Xu You away and let him go back to harm Yuan Shao.

If Yuan Shao had sent counselors such as Tian Feng and Ju Shou, Chu Tian would not necessarily let him go.

Xu You hit a snag with Chu Tian and left angrily.

Chutian checked the effect of the new official position "General Fubo".

[Name]: General Fubo

[Description]: It means subduing the waves, one of the miscellaneous generals

[Effect]: Troop morale recovery speed +3%, attack power +1%, navy's negative impact from adverse weather -5%.

Formal official positions also come with special bonuses, which Chu Tian was not surprised about.

Lords can appoint themselves to official positions, but self-appointed official positions do not have any bonuses and cannot be compared with official positions conferred by the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, even if you declare yourself a prince, without special bonuses, it actually means little.

Langya State Minister of Chutian is an official official position of the Han Dynasty, and it also has bonuses.

[Name]: Prime Minister of Langya State

[Description]: The highest chief executive of Langya Kingdom

[Effect]: The administrative efficiency of all cities in Langya Kingdom is +5, the economic, agricultural, and cultural development speed is +3%, the attraction to special talents is slightly increased, and the rate of decline in public support and public security is reduced.

Generally speaking, civilian positions can bring bonuses to the territory, while military positions can bring bonuses to the army.

This special bonus cannot be underestimated. The outcome of a war is determined by the influence and superposition of various factors. Chutian will try to get any bonus that can speed up territorial development and increase the combat effectiveness of the army.

There are also bonuses for the formal official positions appointed by Langya Prime Minister, such as Fang Xuanling's long history, Zhou Yafu's lieutenant, and Zang Ba's other department's Sima.

The lower the formal official position, the smaller the bonus will be.

The number of high-level official positions is limited and depends on both ability and merit, which tests the monarch's choice.

Even if Han Xin and Bai Qi are recruited, they must have the support of military merit before they can be made generals. Otherwise, other elders in the force will have objections, their loyalty will be severely reduced, and they may even rebel.

General Fubo has already brought a lot of bonuses, as well as the bonus of naval effect, but unfortunately it has no effect on Chutian for the time being.

Chu Tian suddenly understood why Yuan Shao was so anxious to proclaim himself the Chariot and Cavalry General.

Generals of Chariots and Cavalry are more noble than generals like General Fubo, and their rank is higher than that of Shangqing. They also bring greater bonuses to the army. Yuan Shaozheng and Dong Zhuo were fighting in Guanzhong and Heluo, so he naturally needed the official position of General of Chariots and Cavalry for him.

army bonus.

"It seems that holding the emperor hostage will bring a lot of benefits to the princes. If the emperor falls into my hands, I will make myself a general, and then I will make a general for each general."

However, Chu Tian ignored the negative effects brought by holding the emperor hostage to the princes. The other princes would join forces to counterattack and snatch the emperor.

"My lord, if Yuan Shao is allowed to be defeated by Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo captures Hulao Pass, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the heroes of Guandong to advance westward."

Fang Xuanling interrupted Chu Tian's thoughts and expressed his worries.

"Military advisors don't have to worry. The heroes of Guandong are all in disarray, and Dong Zhuo's power is not much different."

Chu Tian didn't take it seriously.

The heroes of Guandong have their own agendas. In Liangzhou, which supports Dong Zhuo, the lords of Guanzhong may not fully assist Dong Zhuo, and they may even stab Dong Zhuo in the back.

There are too many heroes under Dong Zhuo's command, such as Lu Bu, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Li Jue, Guo Si, Hua Xiong... and Dong Zhuo's territory, with fierce folk customs, and the ability to recruit Xiliang cavalry... These lords in Liangzhou and Guanzhong

There is fat in his eyes.

"Yuan Shao should be able to hold on until December..."

Chu Tian heard that Yuan Shao had recruited two powerful generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Yan Liang personally sat at Hangu Pass to fight against Li Jue and Hua Xiong.

Yan Liang, who was assisted by a stranger's adviser, did not seem to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, and Hangu Pass was safe for the time being.

"My lord, General Xue and Changshan Zhao Zilong want to see you."

Xue Rengui brought Zhao Yun in, and Zhao Yun clasped his fists: "Zhao Zilong is willing to follow Langya Prime Minister to attack Dong Zhuo in return for the kindness of knowing him!"

Chu Tian cast an approving look at Xue Rengui and finally managed to lure Zhao Yun to participate in the battle of Hulao Pass.

Chu Tian thought there would be a notification that Zhao Yun recognized his master, but he was disappointed because there was no notification.

It seems that Zhao Yun is just going to fight with him, not recognizing his master.

The trouble was a little more troublesome. Seeing that he was one of the Five Tiger Generals, Chu Tian remained patient: "You and Xue Rengui will act together. Xue Rengui will lead the 300 Tang Dynasty archers, and you will lead the 300 heavy cavalry."

"As you command!"

Zhao Yun was already eager to give it a try, and his tone was a little excited.

Chu Tian directly handed over the 300 heavy cavalry of Langya Kingdom's ace army to Zhao Yun's command, which showed his trust in Zhao Yun.

The cost of heavy cavalry is no less than that of high-level light cavalry, and it is the decisive force used in decisive battles.

The appearance of heavy cavalry on the battlefield often means that the battle is about to end and the victory or defeat is about to be decided.

Because Zhao Yun had no allegiance, Chu Tian could not see Zhao Yun's attributes, nor could he recruit his exclusive army of white horse followers for Zhao Yun.
