"This legion is indeed the legion sent by Yuan Shao to support Cao Cao. The leader is Gao Su, the deputy generals are Zhu Ling and Lu Kuang, and the military advisor is Feng Ji."

Chutian's army swept the entire battlefield, captured thousands of war horses from Jizhou, and captured more than 20,000 people. Through the capture, Chutian obtained more detailed intelligence.

"Lord, capture the enemy general alive!"

Taishi Ci brought over a captured military general. The general was afraid of Chu Tian's power and was scared out of his wits by the Huben army. He knelt in front of Chu Tian and smelled bad.

"Yuan Shao's general?"

Chu Tian rode his war horse and looked at this timid general.

It would be best if we could capture the King of Lanling Gao Su alive. Gao Su had good military strength and special troops. But the general who was scared to death in front of him was obviously not the King of Lanling. If he were the King of Lanling, this posture would be too much.

Falling identity.

"Who are you?"

"The villain Lu... Lu Kuang is a general of Yuan Gong's ministry..."

"Lu Kuang?"

Chu Tian vaguely thought that there was indeed such a person. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were the generals of Yuan Shao's son Yuan Shang. Later, after Yuan Shao was defeated, he took refuge with Cao Cao.

This is also a historical military commander.

"Be loyal to me and I will spare your life!"

Chu Tian wanted to see Lu Kuang's face, so he planned to spare Lu Kuang's life.

"The villain is willing to surrender, willing to surrender!"

Seeing that he could survive, Lu Kuang immediately surrendered to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian couldn't help but murmur in his heart. It would be great if all the captured generals could surrender so neatly. However, few truly loyal generals would surrender so easily like Lu Kuang.

【Name】: Lu Kuang

[Identity]: Yuan Shang's general, later defected to Cao Cao

[Grade]: Gold level (infantry type)

【Loyalty】:50

[Commander]: 56 [Force]: 68 [Intelligence]: 23 [Politics]: 22 [Charm]: 21

"..."

Chu Tian recruited a general similar to Mi Fang, which is hard to say. Lu Kuang's loyalty is very low and he may rebel at any time.

Lu Kuang had value worth utilizing, so Chu Tian asked him to surrender all the captured Jizhou soldiers.

This group of Jizhou soldiers can serve as cannon fodder for the attack on Puyang City.

Lu Kuang took the initiative to ask Chu Tian: "I would like to be the vanguard and lead the troops to attack Puyang City!"

"General Lu is unparalleled in his power. Cao Mengde is just a mere Cao Mengde. He is not worthy of General Lu being the vanguard. Taishi Ci, you lead the Yueqi battalion to clear the way."

Chu Tian comforted Lu Kuang. There is no doubt that after acquiring Mi Fang, Wu Anguo, and Gongsun Ao, Chu Tian got another divine general, and he would soon be able to gather the Five Tiger Generals.

Lu Kuang was timid and feared Chu Tian more than he was loyal, so he followed Chu Tian to attack Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao's 50,000-strong army was almost completely wiped out south of the Yellow River. King Lanling, one of the three famous generals of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Northern Qi Dynasty, was defeated. Zhu Ling fled in disgrace.

When Yuan Shao learned that the 50,000 legions he had managed to put together were annihilated just after crossing the Yellow River, Yuan Shao, who was on a crusade against the Zhongshan Kingdom, was stunned and could not recover for a long time.

An army of fifty thousand, that was an army of fifty thousand, was destroyed like this!

Chu Zimou's sphere of influence in Xuzhou is like a bottomless pit. No matter how many armies enter Chu Zimou's sphere of influence, they will all be annihilated.

The number of enemy troops destroyed by the Xuzhou Army was not just a million, but also hundreds of thousands.

"My subordinates once said that my lord should gather all his troops and go south to support Cao Mengde. My lord did not listen to his words and attacked Jizhou from the north. My subordinates also said that if he is determined to take Jizhou, he will concentrate all his troops and fight quickly.

We should divide our troops and go south. Even if we divide our troops and go south, we can just guard the white horse and launch an offensive to threaten Xuzhou Mu. But Ming Gong refused to listen and insisted on believing what Guo Tu said."

Ju Shou and Tian Feng had quite a lot of complaints against Yuan Shao.

Guo Tu had a look of fear on his face and said to Yuan Shao: "Today our army has suffered a new defeat. Ju Shou, Tian Feng does not want to share the Lord's worries, but instead engages in internal strife. This is a sign of rebellion."

Jushuo, Tian Feng was angry: "Guo Tu, you are talking nonsense, when will we have any objection?"

"enough!"

Yuan Shao was angered by his counselors.

Externally defeated and internally quarreling, Yuan Shao suffered from headaches.

Chutian has great prestige, and has a group of elders who follow him. He also has the characteristics of "Han Wu", "Four Generations and Three Dukes", "Female Leading the Court" and other characteristics to suppress various aristocratic families, and there are also civil servants such as Zhang Zhao and Lu Su who reconcile various aristocratic families.

The conflict does not worry Yuan Shao for the time being.

As long as Chu Tian keeps winning, the aristocratic families will shut up.

Yuan Shao's defeat will intensify the conflicts between the factions of the family.

"I tried my best to manage Hebei and asked Cao Mengde and his generals to come to Yecheng to join me. I asked the court to make him the Mu of Yanzhou and the General of Zhendong. I still let him command the troops."

Yuan Shao did not dare to continue sending troops to the bottomless pit of Henan, so he decided to write a letter asking Cao Cao to serve as a guest general, abandon Dongjun, and come to Yecheng to discuss major issues.

"Yuan Shao was defeated? I advised him not to divide his troops and go south to fight against Chu Zimou, but he refused to listen. This is good... If Yuan Shao exerts all his strength, he can still force Chu Zimou back..."

In Handan, Jizhou, the foreign lord Zhao Long, who served as a general under Yuan Shao, heard the person opposite mention that Yuan Shao had sent an army of 50,000 to Chu Zimou, and he couldn't help but clapped his hands on the table with emotion.

The person opposite said: "Yuan Benchu ​​is headstrong and self-willed. He is not as good as my lord. My lord can take his place."

Zhao Long poured wine for the man: "Although I want you, just like Liu Bang got Han Xin, I want to win all the civil servants and generals of Yuan Shao. Jusue, Tian Feng, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Ju Yi, Gao Lan, Shen Pei,

Gao Su (King of Lanling, the three famous generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty), Hu Luguang (the sharpshooter, the three famous generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty) and others can all be reused. Some of them are loyal and will not give in easily. I need to enter them in a more reasonable way.

Lord Jizhou."

The man said: "Since the Lord wants to obtain Yuan Shao's civil servants and generals, he needs to plan carefully."

"I heard that someone under Cao Cao's command recruited an assassin. It was through assassins that Cao Cao had the opportunity to seize Yanzhou. If this assassin is recruited into my sect..."

"Could it be that my lord wants to use an assassin to kill Yuan Shao?"

"This is a trump card that was used out of necessity... Shen Rong, Shen Pei's nephew, has been bribed by me. Once Yuan Shao and I capture the entire Jizhou, it will be time to act. Yuan Shao's peak moment is also the moment of his demise."

Zhao Long relied heavily on the subordinates in front of him. This was the emperor-level commander he obtained after the Battle of Mobei.

In Puyang City, Dongjun, Cao Cao, the number one hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was frowning.

He also learned that Yuan Shao's reinforcements were completely wiped out as soon as they arrived in Henan, and he was even more afraid of Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou. In Cao Cao's eyes, Chu Zimou, who participated in the Battle of Mobei and suppressed Cao Cao for two consecutive years, was comparable to the Han God of War.

.

Pang Juan, who suffered more defeats than victory, came back again. Guo Jia once again served as Pang Juan's military advisor, and surrounded Puyang with Pang Juan, disabling Puyang's teleportation array.

Guo Jia, who was supposed to be Cao Cao's military advisor, instead surrounded Cao Cao, which made people doubt that Chu Zimou did it deliberately.

"The reinforcements sent by Yuan Benchu ​​were defeated by Chu Zimou's cavalry. He persuaded me to lead the remaining troops to Yecheng to seek refuge with him. What do you think?"

Cao Cao received Yuan Shao's proposal and hesitated.

If it were Cao Cao in ordinary times, he would not be so indecisive, but this decision will determine his life. Not only Cao Cao, but also the fate of Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and other clan generals.

Will Chu Zimou use him after he surrenders? Will Cao Cao's clan generals be reused? If no one can be reused in Chu Zimou's power, then the Cao family and the Xiahou family can say goodbye to the aristocratic family in the future.

Cao Cao not only considered his own interests, but also the interests of his family.

Xun Yu said: "Although Yuan Shao's soldiers are numerous, his laws are not in order, and although his officials and generals are numerous, they are scheming. As for Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they are just brave men. The only ones worth using are Ju Sue, Tian Feng, Zhang He, and Gao Su, but Yuan Shao is not

If you know how to use people, they will definitely be taken advantage of. Sooner or later, he will become a prisoner of a stranger, so why should my lord take refuge in a dying person."

Cao Cao asked: "Since Yuan Shao is about to die, who does Wen Ruo think he can go to and seek refuge with?"

Xun Yu replied: "Sili Xiaowei governs Guanzhong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. He uses the emperor's orders to disobey ministers and supports the Han Dynasty. Yuan Chang (Zhong Yao) has written many times, asking Wen Ruo to go to Guanzhong. If my lord is interested,

To support the Han Dynasty, perhaps it would be a good choice to go to Guanzhong and seek refuge with Sili Xiaowei."

"Kuang Fu Han Room..."

Facing Xun Yu's proposal, Cao Cao fell into deep thought.

Xun Yu was ingenious and thought that Cao Cao could go and seek refuge with the powerful old Qin in Guanzhong.

Cao Cao still had some delusions of helping the Han Dynasty, but he couldn't help but hesitate when he thought of Luoyang, the sacred capital that was reduced to ashes in the fire that day.

The prosperous country was easily burned down by a prince. The emperor was first controlled by Dong Zhuo and then by Jiujiu Lao Qin. Did Jiujiu Lao Qin really intend to help the Han Dynasty? Can the Han Dynasty be revived a second time?

Xun Yu and other Yingchuan nobles probably had the idea of ​​reviving the Han Dynasty. After all, the Yingchuan nobles played an important role in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they were unwilling to lose their past glory.

Jiujiang Lao Qin, under the banner of the Han emperor in Chang'an, had a fatal attraction for scholars like Xun Yu. Therefore, it is not surprising that Cao Cao proposed Xun Yu's proposal to defect to Guanzhong. Perhaps, for the Yingchuan scholars,

It seems that it is more in their interests to seek refuge with Jiujiang Lao Qin, who has the emperor and favors Yingchuan and the Runan family to replace the Guanzhong family. Apart from Li Si, Jiujiu Lao Qin does not have any internal ministers. If they turn to him, Yingchuan,

The Runan gentry will have greater influence and become the core group of Jiujiao Lao Qin.

Zhong Yao was helping Jiujiu and Lao Qin recruit Yingchuan, and the Runan nobles, Xun You, Xun Yu and others were affected.

Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou is also an important choice for the nobles, but Chu Zimou's team is mainly composed of Langya Kingdom veterans and Xuzhou aristocratic families. If the Yingchuan and Runan aristocratic families join Chu Zimou's power, they will definitely become vassals and be defeated by Langya.

Among the elders of the country, the Xuzhou family was outnumbered, and could only rank third in Chu Zimou's power. This was difficult to accept for the Yingchuan and Runan families who once controlled the Han Dynasty.
