A young man came to the camp outside Liucheng City and met with Sun Bin, one of his teachers.

Zhuge Liang worshipped many civil servants and military generals as teachers and came to Liucheng for training.

Sun Bin was also one of Zhuge Liang's teachers.

Now Sun Bin is fully qualified to serve as Zhuge Liang's teacher.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was fifteen years old, and there was only one year left before the lord's exit, so he participated in the military in advance.

"Liucheng seems to be extremely strong, and I believe it has accumulated a lot of weapons and food."

Zhuge Liang took the battle for the first time and observed the walls of Liucheng. He found that Liucheng is worthy of being a fortress that the Liaodong Army had invested countless constructions before, and another lonely bamboo city.

The defenders of Liucheng were the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people, with 200,000 to 300,000 troops.

"Liucheng is not easy to attack, and he suffered heavy losses in order to attack Liucheng. The Liaodong Army will cut off our army's food supply and turn defeat into victory."

Sun Bin could see that although Liucheng was not big, it was not easy to attack, so he was quite satisfied with Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang has not reached his peak yet and has some knowledge.

"Sir, how can I conquer Liucheng?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Bin.

"After the defeat in western Liaoning, the prestige of the Ming King declined, and the changes in Liaodong changed drastically, and the various troops were ready to move again, like..."

Sun Bin also looked at Zhuge Liang, hoping that he could follow his words.

"If we provoke the relationship between various tribes and the Ming king, then Liaodong will be in chaos, and some tribes that originally disagree with our conditions will also compromise and surrender."

Zhuge Liang's eyes were bright, which made Sun Bin even more satisfied.

"That's true. Sometimes, it may be better to retreat to advance, but the lord hopes to obtain a teleportation array here."

Sun Bin also had many considerations.

Chu Tian planned to pacify western Liao and eastern Liaoning, and then return to Xiacheng, or turn back to Guanzhong.

Caterina said goodbye to Chutian and returned to St. Petersburg.

The Western continent is not calm, and there are constant wars between civilizations.

"When will you have time to bring Peter and Anna to see me."

Chu Tian said to Caterina before Caterina left.

Chu Tian hasn't seen his youngest daughter Anna several times since she was born.

Chu Tian had no objection to Katerina's name of a son and a daughter Peter. Anna had no objection. After all, Katerina was responsible for raising her. Chu Tian was just a hand-off manager, and it was difficult for Katerina to do everything according to her wishes.

Before leaving, Haral had another fight with Dian Wei, and the two of them had a bruised nose and swollen face.

Under normal circumstances, Haral cannot beat Dian Wei, but Haral enters a violent state and can quickly widen the gap between the two, so Dian Wei is not feeling well.

"If you want to see your daughter, come to St. Petersburg by yourself."

Catherine rolled her eyes.

Chu Tian is also very determined and hasn't even met his youngest daughter for a long time.

Chu Tian was helpless, and the battle did not stop, and Chu Tian was unable to do anything.

Caterina led her troops out of the camp.

"Lord, urgent news came from Guanzhong. The King of Qin was unconscious and the whole Guanzhong was in chaos!"

When Chu Tian was feeling that he had no time to clone, another important news came to his hands.

Mingguan was suppressed to Liaodong, and another powerful enemy, Lao Qin, had an accident again.

Last time, Lao Qin was seriously ill, and the Qin army gave up attacking Luoyang City and retreated to Guanzhong.

This time, Lao Qin was unconscious, and the Qin army was under pressure from Wu Qi and Yue Fei, and Guanzhong was in chaos.

Chu Tian was keenly aware that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to annex Guanzhong!

The Guanzhong group of dragons have no heads, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the prosperous Guanzhong area.

"Is this what is called luck..."

Chu Tian suddenly opened up the situation between the two routes, and it was a good opportunity whether it annexed Liaodong or Guanzhong.

"Take Liaodong first, or Guanzhong first? If Lao Qin wakes up and the situation improves, he will miss the opportunity to annex Guanzhong."

Chu Tian fell into a short-term choice.

In theory, Guanzhong is even more important.

Chu Tian immediately summoned Sun Bin, Xun You, Zhang Bin, Fang Xuanling, Cao Gui and others.

When the young Zhuge Liang appeared in the military tent, Chu Tian was a little surprised.

Before we knew it, the group of children who were still running noses in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had grown up and were involved in troubled times.

If you think about it carefully, Chu Tian even made a private engagement for his son Chu Wu and Sun Jian's daughter Sun Shangxiang.

Chu Tian is also in his thirties. It feels quite wonderful to see a group of little guys growing up.

"Kong Ming, you are here just right, let's participate in the decision together."

Chu Tian didn't mind letting Zhuge Liang involve military affairs in advance.

Although Zhuge Liang is better at internal affairs, it is not necessary to know more about things, so that he can become a general and a minister.

"I have received the exact news that the King of Qin is unconscious and is likely to... pass away."

As soon as Chu Tian's words fell, the strategists present knew what this meant.

The leader of the Guanzhong Group was unconscious and there was no better chance to annex Guanzhong than this.

The situation in Chutian's power is very good now.

"Is it to gather you all to decide whether to concentrate the main force, conquer Liaodong City, or to fight against Guanzhong and pacify it?"

Chu Tian glanced at the many advisers present.

Xun You, who has always been low-key, said: "My memory and Guo Fengxiao have tried to alienate the Wuhuan tribe. If it weren't for the Youzhou War and the Liaoxi War broke out, it might have been successful. The war broke out, and the loose Xianbei tribe was cold and was forced to do so. Under the pressure, they temporarily joined forces under the call of Murong Ke. The current Ming King has lost his prestige. If the lord does not force too much and continues to disagree, perhaps Liaodong will fall into chaos."

"It seems that you and Fengxiao had other ideas during your stay in Youzhou."

Chu Tian is not a mediocre person either, he knows Xun You’s specific suggestions.

Xun You believed that the attack on Liaodong could be stopped and the battle against Guanzhong.

Although the attack on Liaodong stopped, a discord can still be used to disrupt the water in Liaodong and weaken the power of the Mingguan.

After the Guanzhong is pacified and the chaotic Liaodong is solved, it will save more effort.

During the period when Xun You and Guo Jia assisted in guarding Youzhou, they did not do anything and had tried to provoke discord.

Sun Bin said: "I and Kong Ming have similar ideas."

"Since you all think that the attack on Liaodong should be temporarily slowed down at this time and first take Guanzhong... But Liucheng must be taken down and has a teleportation array. There is no need to travel thousands of miles to attack Liaodong."

"The lord can surround three palaces and one, leaving a way out for the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, and then attack the other three directions quickly, forcing the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes to abandon the city and flee. During the siege of Liucheng, a large army was gathered in Guanzhong, and you can immediately turn to Guanzhong."

“Very good.”

Chu Tian chose to occupy the chaotic Guanzhong between Liaodong City and Guanzhong.

A decisive battle broke out between Liaoxi County and Mingguan, and the losses were huge. I guess the decisive battle with Lao Qin in the future will probably also cause a considerable loss.

Now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to avoid a decisive battle with Lao Qin and conquer Guanzhong at a smaller price. Chu Tian is reluctant to seek it.

"Gongda, you continue to contact the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes and try to surrender them. In the battle of western Liaoning, our army won a great victory. Xianbei and Wuhuan people should not dare to make any excessive demands."

Before the war started, Chu Tian might not have surrendered to the Xianbei tribes. The many tribes of Wuhuan were just that the conditions proposed by these tribes were difficult for Chu Tian to accept.

What Chu Tian needed was that they would completely surrender, and the nobles of various tribes would not be willing to hand over power.

Only when they are afraid of them will they agree with Chu Tian’s harsh conditions.

In terms of power, Chu Tian generally does not retreat easily to avoid endless troubles in the future.

Chu Tian asked Xun You to try to win over some Xianbei people and deal with another Xianbei people.

The Xia army continued to attack Liucheng on the surface, but in fact, Chu Tian secretly ordered all troops to gather in Hedong County, intending to bypass the majestic Tongguan and conquer Guanzhong.

"Bring the red cannon."

Even though the number of red-clothed cannons was not large, Chu Tian chose to bring the red-clothed cannons seized from Mingguan to deal with the Guanzhong army, perhaps it could be used.

The last time he fought with Lao Qin, Chu Tian captured Hanoi County and Luoyang City.

During Chu Tian's conquest of western Liaoning, Wu Qi almost captured the entire Hedong County.

Nowadays, Chu Tian’s goal is the entire Guanzhong.

The Mingguan power has been crippled by Chu Tian, ​​and the threat has become smaller, and various tribes are ready to move. The Xia army slowed down the pressure on Liaodong. According to the speculations of various advisers, Liaodong will be in chaos.

"This time, Kongming, you follow me to Guanzhong."

Chu Tian decided to bring Zhuge Liang to his training.

It took time to siege Liucheng. Chu Tian handed over the task of siege Liucheng to Wei Qing, Zhou Yafu, Cao Cao and other generals. He surrounded him without attacking him. He also left a special city gate so that the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry could escape to Liaodong. On the one hand, to avoid the fierce siege battle. On the other hand, once the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry entered Liaodong, the conflict with Mingguan would be even more intense.

Fishing sea, a large number of Eight Banners cavalry, Mongolian cavalry, and Zhaobian cavalry were killed in battle.

The battle in western Liaoning was fierce, and the battle in fishing sea was equally fierce.

The prince of Yan, Hu Ma, Nurhaci, and Wanyan Agu broke out. After more than 20 days of battle, both sides suffered losses and lost their troops.

In the end, Nurhaci and Wanyan Aguda learned that the war in western Liaoning had failed, so they were forced to withdraw from the fishing sea and retreat to the east of Liaodong.
