The two fierce generals competed in the camp outside Tancheng. Both sides also used long spears. One was powerful and the other was flexible and fierce. The surrounding soldiers, including Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, Hua Mulan and others, were watching the two fierce generals compete.

Wang Tiegun came to Xuzhou, and when he saw Zhao Yun using a gun, he couldn't help but challenge Zhao Yun.

Although the two people also use spears as weapons, they have different styles. Zhao Yun's marksmanship focuses on flexibility, while Wang Tiegun's marksmanship focuses on strength.

And like Zhao Yun, Wang Tiegun is also a loyal man, swearing to the death not to surrender to the enemy.

This is also the reason why Chutian could not detain Xu Fengnian and Wang Tiegun.

Even if he leaves Wang Tiegun behind, Wang Tiegun will not surrender.

"If Jiujiu Lao Qin knew about our mutual market, he would have trouble sleeping and eating in Xianyang City."

After Xu Fengnian signed a mutual market treaty with Chutian, he also became jealous of Chutian's military generals.

Sure enough, everything is good for others.

"I heard that in Tancheng is the famous general Le Yi, one of the top commanders of the Warring States Period. Le Yi is really unlucky. He has no chance to perform, so he is trapped in Tancheng. Now he is going to be a sheep."

Xu Fengnian was not only jealous of the generals under Chu Tian's command, but also Le Yi who was in Tancheng. Le Yi was guarding Tancheng, surrounded by the army of Langya Kingdom... Whatever Xu Fengnian thought, Le Yi would fall into the clutches of Chu Zimou.

Zhao Yun and Wang Tiegun fought for hundreds of rounds, no winner or loser.

"Wang Tiegun, we should go back."

Xu Fengnian seemed to have a good relationship with Wang Tiegun, and he directly shouted at him Wang Tiegun.

Wang Tiegun stopped and said to Zhao Yun, "We will have a chance to fight again in the future."

Zhao Yun was also panting: "I'm happy to accompany you."

Wang Tiegun followed his lord away from the camp of the Langya army.

"It's possible to stand up Ma Teng, suppress the original aristocratic family in Longxi County, and become a force on its own. Such people are very scary. Fortunately, he is not in Xuzhou."

Chu Tian thought that although the lords of Longxi were only in one county, they were more difficult to deal with than the lords of Xuzhou.

The lord of Longxi can become a local emperor, and he has the determination to compete in the Central Plains, which is enough to see how powerful he is.

"The defenders in the city still have no intention of surrendering?"

Chu Tian asked Fang Xuanling, who was beside him, about dividing the defenders of Tancheng.

Fang Xuanling replied: "Most of them are pinning their hopes on the reinforcements from Xiapi. If the lord can defeat the reinforcements in Xiapi, the determination of the Tancheng defenders will definitely be shaken."

"Contact the Xiapi Chen family as soon as possible."

Chutian was not interested in a long siege.

Being dragged by a city for a year and a half, no one feels bad.

"My lord, General Xue has broken through the two counties of Xiangben and Lanling!"

When Chutian was trapped under Tancheng, Xue Rengui led 10,000 soldiers to attack two counties of Donghai Kingdom.

In the summer, Liang attacked the three counties of Ba, the brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang attacked Xianqu County, and Xue Rengui attacked the two counties of Ba.

In addition to the thirteen counties of Langya, Chutian has nineteen counties.

Moreover, Xue Rengui was still attacking the remaining counties of the East China Sea.

In addition to Tancheng and Xiapi still stubbornly resisting, many counties surrendered, Xue Rengui brought 10,000 recruits, and basically did not lose much.

Defeat the main force of the enemy, whose territory has no troops to organize an effective defense.

Tao Qian even concentrated all the troops of the East China Sea in Tancheng, with only two or three thousand soldiers in each county.

In Xiapi City, the officials of Xuzhou were terrified.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was defeated and fled back to the city. Due to his old age and the fright of the defeat, Tao Qian couldn't even get sick after returning to Xiapi.

Cao Bao was defeated and captured, his family was shaken, and the elderly Tao Qian was under enormous pressure.

"Will the state shepherd..."

"It's hard to say. After all, the state shepherd is very old, and he was frightened by this. It's another matter."

"The Mi family has completely turned to Xiang Xiang Lang Ya. His eyes are really ruthless. I never thought that he could bet on Xiang Xiang Lang Ya."

The officials came out of the palace to visit the sick, worried about their own and their family's future. It doesn't matter who serves as Xuzhou shepherd, what matters is whether the interests of his family can be guaranteed.

Chen Deng, the captain of Diannong, who was under 30, fell into deep thought when he heard the whispers of his colleagues in private.

The Mi family suddenly revolted to support Lang Ya Xiang without saying hello to him, making him a little passive.

"Mi Zhu is not like a person who can easily lose his temper. He must have been instigated by Mi Fang, so he acted rashly. Mi Fang's choice was unexpectedly correct."

Chen Deng was very worried.

A visitor stopped Chen Deng: "Master Yuanlong, our master has entrusted me to see you."

Chen Deng recognized his identity, he was the servant of the Mi family.

"The Mi family eats meat, and my Chen family can only eat soup."

Chen Deng knew the intention of Mi Zhu's arrival.

The Mi family was the first to stand up to support Chutian, so they would have the first credit.

In Xiapicheng, the Xuzhou coalition forces regained their strength, and the 70,000-strong army headed north again under the leadership of Yang Ye to support Le Yi, who was besieged in Tancheng.

Chen Deng stood on the city wall of Xiapi City, watching the army that stretched for more than ten miles heading north.

He said to the servant beside him, "When you come to Huaipu, ask the old man to come to Xiapi to preside over the overall situation."

...

"Tao Qian is seriously ill?"

Chu Tian was sitting upright, facing Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu informed Chutian an important news.

After Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was defeated, he became seriously ill.

Why does Chu Tian feel that he is suspected of bullying the old man...

Tao Qian didn't have many years to live. He was hit many times, and his body couldn't stand it all at once.

Chu Tian couldn't help feeling that his young age was also a kind of capital.

Chu Tian could kill countless opponents with just his own lifespan. If it is also a hero, whoever lives longer, maybe whoever can win...

A long life is all about being able to do whatever you want.

Sima Yi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, relying on their longevity to kill their contemporaries, finally won the world.

For Chutian, this is an opportunity.

"Is the Chen family willing to work for me?"

"Chen Yuanlong has invited the old man of their Chen family to Xiapi City to preside over the overall situation."

"If the father and son of the Chen family help, Xuzhou can be settled."

Chutian learned that Chen Gui and Chen Deng and their sons were willing to come forward to help, so the difficulty of occupying Xuzhou was greatly reduced.

Behind Chen Gui and Chen Deng is not just the Chen family, but most of Xuzhou's aristocratic families.

The families finally started to stand in line.

Chutian, who won the battle of Xuzhou, shook Xuzhou with unprecedented prestige, and the aristocratic families were terrified. Coupled with Tao Qian's critical illness, the aristocratic families had to choose a capable person to serve as the state shepherd to protect their interests.

After all, they need someone to protect their family.

In troubled times, powerful princes can protect them.

"In the event of the death of Lord Zhou Mu, General Fubo can immediately report to the court in Chang'an and ask for the title of Xu Zhou Mu."

"I have made arrangements."

"I have an unkind request below... I don't know if I should say it or not..."

Mi Zhu hesitated.

"If Zizhong has any request, he can speak."

As Chutian's big financier, he generously donated 100,000 taels of silver and tens of thousands of servants to Chutian. A request, Chutian should be able to respond.

Mi Zhu was still a little hesitant: "I have a younger sister who is still in her boudoir and has not yet married. I heard that General Fubo has not yet had a main room. I would like to dedicate it to the general for the sake of Qin and Jin."

"..."

Sure enough, Chutian had already guessed that Mi Zhu would use marriage to transform the Mi family from a merchant family into a political family. I didn't expect it to come, but it really came.

Political marriages and donations are not uncommon. In history, Mi Zhu used two methods to hold a high position in the Shuhan camp. If it wasn't for Madam Mi's whereabouts unknown after being captured by Cao Cao (historical facts), Mi Zhu's status might have been higher.

"What is your sister Nianfang's geometry?"

"Year thirteen."

"Cough cough..." Chu Tian looked strange, "I won't mention this for the time being."

"Could it be that General Fubo thinks it is inappropriate to marry the merchant's sister?"

After Mi Zhu became an aristocratic family in Chutian, his attitude became a little humble, thinking that Chutian thought it was wrong to be a family.

"Zizhong, that's not the case. It's just that the candidates for the main office have been decided, please don't take it offend Zizhong."

Chutian just found a reason to prevaricate Mi Zhu.

"Is there such a thing?" Mi Zhu was also a little surprised and tangled in his heart, "Even if my little sister is a concubine, it is not impossible. After all, General, you have a prominent background."

The identity of the family is too bullying.

Chutian found that Mi Zhu's tone was already very humble.

"We'll talk about it in a few years."

Chutian asked Mi Zhu to let go of the burden. Even with the contribution of Mi Zhu's political donations, he could have a place in Xuzhou in the future.

Political marriage has pros and cons. On the plus side, Chutian can get stronger support from the Mi family. If necessary, the Mi family may even go bankrupt and support him, because they are a "family".

The disadvantage is that the Mi family is equivalent to the "foreign relatives" of the lord, and their nominal status in Xuzhou is higher than that of generals such as Hua Mulan, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun, because the generals are only the "keepers" of the lord in a broad sense.

The wealthy Mi family has become a powerful relative, and the influence is not too big.

In the future, Mi Fang might become a national uncle and a general.

In order to change the topic, Chu Tian said: "When Tancheng and Xiapi are captured, I intend to build a seaport in Quxian, build ships, and set up salt fields for trade. At that time, I will also ask Zizhong to coordinate the interests of many merchants in Quxian. together."

"The places where the population is concentrated are all located in the Central Plains, why should we build ships widely?"

"Zizhong, we have to look at the world. Outside the sea, there are still many lands waiting for us to conquer, there are gold mines, silver mines, farmland, women, and the wealth is a hundred times or a thousand times what you are now. , 10,000 times... Although we haven't even beaten Xuzhou now, we must look at the problem from a long-term perspective..."

Chutian described the grand prospect to Mi Zhu and successfully changed the subject.

Mi Zhu was fascinated by Chutian's description of the world beyond the sea, and patiently listened to Chutian's mention of warriors in the east, camels and pyramids in the desert, and Viking pirate ships sailing in the Baltic Sea...

However, after Mi Zhu left Chutian's camp, he came back to his senses.

Chu Tian gave an ambiguous answer to him about offering his sister, only saying that waiting a few years was just to stabilize him.

Mi Zhu has such a huge family business, and apart from the accumulation of the family, he will not be a mediocre person. He tried to find out what Chu Tian said about the main room, but found that not even the people in Chu Tian's army knew that the lord had a certain main room.

Mi Zhu was helpless in the face of the impeccable Chutian.

If the Mi family can be directly transformed into a political family through marriage, the Mi family can completely break away from the status of businessmen in the future.

Mi Zhu didn't know that, in Chu Tian's eyes, sometimes the merchants reassured him, and after the chaotic world was settled, the aristocratic family was the target of suppression, because the aristocratic family had power.

"The main room of the lord?"

When Hua Mulan heard that Mi Zhu was inquiring about the news, her heart was heavy.

At the same time, there are mixed feelings in the heart and the injured summer cool.

When did the lord have a main room that they didn't even know about?

In order to prevaricate Mi Zhu, Chu Tian did not expect his reputation to be murdered at all. He inexplicably felt that Xia Xia Liang, Hua Mulan, and even Li Xiuning had alienated him a little bit.

In Yanzhou, Dingtao City, the anti-Cao Cao alliance gathered all the troops and horses in this city, ready to attack Puyang.

The anti-Cao Cao alliance was divided into two groups, all the way from Dingtao City in Jiyin County, attacking Puyang from the southeast, and all the way from Chenliu County, attacking Puyang from the southwest.

Similar to the mighty force of the Xuzhou Allied Forces, the Yanzhou Allied Forces are mighty and mighty, known as an army of 500,000!

In fact, it's only 250,000...

Jiyin County, Shanyang County, Dongping Kingdom, Rencheng-Guo coalition army of 180,000, Chenliu County coalition force of 70,000 troops marched head-to-head and agreed to join forces in Puyang.

Prince Wen, the prefect of Jiyin, personally served as the leader of the Cao Cao alliance.

"Alliance leader, Yuan Shao has agreed to send Yan Liang to lead a 50,000-strong army to march on the White Horse, and support us!"

"As expected, the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had a crack during the crusade against Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao didn't want to see Cao Cao develop better than him, so he agreed to help us. With three troops and an army of 300,000, we will definitely win. "

Gongzi Wen learned that Yuan Shao had dispatched Yan Liang and an army of 50,000 to attack Puyang from the west, which was equivalent to Cao Cao facing pressure from three directions.

"Report! Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei, and his general Yu Jin led 30,000 troops to come to help Cao Cao!"

"Liu Dai, the prefect of Yanzhou, has an unclear attitude!"

"I didn't expect Cao Cao to have allies..."

Although Gongziwen was a little surprised, he didn't take it seriously. Liu Dai and Bao Xin were not really great princes.

"The only thing to pay attention to is Yu Jin. In my hands, there are already a thousand Wei Wu soldiers. Although there is a big gap between Pang Juan's Wei Wu soldiers and Wu Qi's Wei Wu soldiers, they are still a high-ranking army. infantry."

"I hope Cao Cao has no tiger and leopard riding at this time."

Gongzi Wen is trying to collect information on Cao Cao, but there is no evidence to prove that Cao Cao already owns a tiger and a leopard.

Tiger and leopard riding, all the world's sharp, or from a hundred people will make up for it!

If Cao Cao already owns a tiger and leopard cavalry, Pang Juan's Wei Wu pawn is not necessarily an opponent of Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry.

"All the troops have been assembled. No matter how powerful Cao Cao is, we must win this battle! Chu Zimou will soon occupy Xuzhou, and I must defeat Cao Cao as soon as possible!"

Gongziwen set up Cao Cao's siege network, in order to strangle Cao Cao.

The three-way army and the 300,000-strong army have assembled, and the daily consumption of food and grass is huge, and a quick decision must be made.
