Chapter 342: The Disappeared Chu Zimou

"Chu Zimou hasn't returned yet? Where did he go?"

In Dingxiang County, Weiqing’s West Road Han Army returned and rested for ten days. There was no news of Chu Tian and Cao Cao.

"You can leave now."

Wei Qing informed the princes to leave the Mobei battlefield.

When they returned to Sené, they were unable to earn points, and it made little sense to stay in the Mobei battlefield.

"I hope that Chu Zimou will not be annihilated in Mobei. Without you, who should Longxi's horse be sold to?"

The princes of the Western Road Han Army led their troops back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. As the largest buyer of Longxi Horse Market, Chutian bought tens of thousands of excellent horses from Longxi every year. Xu Fengnian didn't want to lack Chu Tian, ​​a major customer.

Wei Qing watched the princes leave, and then looked towards Mobei.

Huo Qubing's Eastern Route Army pursued to Hanhai, traveling farther and returning to the division later.

When the first batch of princes returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty, it caused quite a stir in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Lord, Youzhou Mu Liuyu died in battle, Youzhou officials welcomed Liu Bei into Youzhou, with Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan as wings, once again crusade against Mingguan of Liaodong Prefect!"

"Xuzhou Mu launched a fierce attack on the Jibei Kingdom and East County of Yanzhou, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo!"

When Yuan Shao returned to Jizhou, the structure of the Eastern Han Dynasty changed greatly, and Youzhou and Yanzhou were in war.

Yuan Shao was taken aback: "Xuzhou Mu Chuzi has not come back, why would Xuzhou suddenly attack Yanzhou?"

No matter Xu You or Jushou, the reaction at this time was exactly the same as Yuan Shao. They knew that Chu Tian should still be tossing in Mobei, and Xuzhou was in a state of no leader at this moment, and suddenly declared war on Cao Cao's forces, which was incredible.

The interrogation said: "The subordinate thinks that someone is using Xuzhou military power instead of Xuzhou Mu!"

"If this is the case, it would be bad. Cao Mengde is still in Mobei. The people he left behind do not know whether he can stop the Xuzhou army."

"The lord needs to decide whether to go north to capture Jizhou or go south to support Cao Cao."

Facing the dilemma, Yuan Shao looked at the counsellors: "What do you think?"

Guo Tu replied: "When Liu Dal enters Youzhou, Jizhou is unprepared. If the lord takes advantage of the emptiness, he can take down the nine counties of Jizhou in one fell swoop. It will take time for Chu Zi to seek the unification of the Central Plains. The lord can take Youzhou again. Clash with Chu Zimou!"

Tian Feng, the army master who stayed behind, has been reviewing the situation: "Otherwise. Liu Beidong blocked Mingguan and blocked me. I am too grateful for him. Why should I attack his territory? At this time, Cao Mengde is in danger. If the lord goes south to support Cao Mengde, his Everyone is grateful to the lord, and the lord can get all his soldiers, horses, food and grass, civil servants and generals. Otherwise, Chu Zi will seek to unify the Central Plains, and in order to seize the land for producing horses, he will definitely go north without worrying too much."

Guo Tu argued: "The lord is animal husbandry in Jizhou, and there are nine counties in Jizhou, but there are only five counties, and four counties are occupied by Liu Daer. ​​Those four counties are the land that the lord deserves. If Liu Daer really wants to be with the lord To carve up Hebei, since you have obtained the land in Youzhou, you should give up the land in Jizhou, so that the lord can trust his sincerity. If not, the lord has only five counties. Even if you save Cao Mengde and get the three counties of Yanzhou, you will eventually Will be taken advantage of by others. The three counties of Yanzhou are the place of the four battles. Is it because the lord has to be distracted from Hebei and the Central Plains at the same time, and is exhausted? Hebei is a place for the success of the emperor, please think twice."

No matter Tian Feng or Guo Tu, what they said is reasonable, so that Yuan Shao is indecisive and difficult to judge whether to go north or south.

"Send someone to tell Liu Da'er that since I, Yuan Benchu, is Jizhou Mu and he is Youzhou Mu, then he should hand over the four counties of Jizhou, otherwise I will send my troops north to attack Youzhou with Mingguan and get what I need! If Liu Dal surrenders the four counties of Jizhou, I will personally send my troops south to support Yanzhou!"

Yuan Shao can be regarded as half a hero. While sending envoys to threaten Liu Bei, he commanded the army to prepare for war. He could go north or south at any time. With five counties, Yuan Shao could piece together an army of 200,000.

The officials at all levels in Xuzhou also knew that the princes who participated in the Battle of Mobei had returned, and immediately checked whether the lord had returned.

In theory, any prince participating in the Battle of Mobei may be killed, and Chutian may also be killed.

"Is there any news from the lord?"

Summer cool is the first time to ask.

When she heard that Chu Tian was not among the returning princes, and heard that Chu Tian chose to stay in Mobei to continue fighting against the Huns, her heart sank.

"The Xianggong will definitely be back..."

Despite some bad premonitions, she still believed that Chu Tian would not be killed in Mobei.

On the Mobei battlefield, Huo Qubing's North Route Army returned to Dai County. All princes said goodbye to Huo Qubing and returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Respectfully welcome the lord, the subordinates have lived up to expectations and have defended the west of Liaoning. Even if the lord comes back, even if Liu Bei comes to attack, it is not to be afraid."

Yao Guangxiao was relieved to see Mingguan returning. Liu Bei temporarily compromised with Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan and promised Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan that You Beiping and Liaoxi in Youzhou were still owned by Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan. Only then did they re-form the coalition and attack Liaoxi again.

Since Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, has returned, he is almost sure of winning.

As soon as Mingguan came back, he said to Yao Guangxiao: "Chu Zimou must have begun to recruit troops and prepare to attack the Central Plains. You immediately dispatched a few generals who attacked the Xianbei tribe to come back and recruit the cavalry of the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes to capture Youzhou with all your strength! Chu Zimou is about to own the Central Plains, how can I wait to fall behind! Before Chu Zimou owns the two Central Plains and Qilu two states, he must occupy the four states of Hebei in order to compete with it!"

Mingguan realized that the crisis was coming and he had to speed up the entry speed, otherwise he would be blocked forever and wandering outside the customs, always unable to advance or retreat. He didn't want to be blocked by the Great Wall built by Youzhou, he had been outside the gate all his life.

Yao Guangxiao was puzzled: "Master, his subordinates have not heard of Xuzhou Mu Chuzimou returning to Xuzhou, but someone is planning to attack Yanzhou instead of Chuzi."

"He hasn't come back yet?!"

Mingguan is hard to believe.

The princes of the two groups returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty in two groups, but Chu Zimou was missing, which is a strange thing.

Mingguan recalled the dead Han army that he saw at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain, and he seemed to have an answer in his heart: "Maybe Chu Zimou is still fighting the Huns in Mobei. But the main force of the Huns is gone, and the points earned by chasing the Huns are not many. . The price/performance ratio is so low, why would he stay in Mobei?"

"The subordinates recalled the generals who attacked the Xianbei tribe in the north, and the generals of the Yanqi Guild, to attack Youzhou."

Yao Guangxiao wrote down.

Having a qualified adviser is very important to a power.

Mingguan stood on the wall of Guzhu City, and the fierce general Chang Yuchun was like a dragon and a tiger, watching Liu Bei's second coalition army.

Although Liu Bei now owns four counties in Jizhou and five counties in Youzhou, Zhuojun, Guangyang, Daijun, Shanggu, and Yuyang, a total of nine counties, but in Chang Yuchun's eyes, it is nothing.

Mingguan asked, "Boren, how many soldiers and horses are needed to take Youzhou?"

Chang Yuchun is courageous: "One hundred thousand is enough!"

"Hahahaha, I will give you one hundred thousand troops for this crusade against Youzhou! At the same time, 50,000 Wuhuan cavalrymen and 50,000 Xianbei cavalrymen will be enlisted to capture Youbeiping County and attack Youzhou. Since you have Youzhou, it is easy to take Hebei!"

"Don't continue to attack Liaoxi. Mingguan has returned. Chang Yuchun has a hundred thousand troops to gain the world, and Yi De is not his opponent!"

Chen Xi, Liu Bei's military adviser, returned to Zhongshan. He heard that Liu Bei was unwilling to defeat Liaoxi for the first time, and then attacked Liaoxi for the second time. He called out bad news, and immediately sent someone to inform Liu Bei and ask Liu Bei to return to his teacher.

Liu Bei still lacks a military adviser. Chen Xi is a first-class adviser. If he hadn't been for him to persuade Youzhou, shepherd Liu Yu, and secretly make friends with Youzhou officials, so that Liu Bei's reputation would flourish in Youzhou, and also Youzhou officials. Will not welcome Liu Bei into Youzhou.

Moreover, the reason why Liu Bei owns the four counties of Jizhou depends entirely on Chen Xi's secret planning.

At this time Chen Xi miscalculated. He was worried that Guan Yu would be killed in the Battle of Mobei because of his arrogance, so he went together. If he followed Liu Bei to attack Liaoxi, he might not have failed.

Now that Mingguan returns with Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang, and Zu Dashou from Mobei, the best time to seize western Liaoning has disappeared.

"If you stick to Youzhou and use the Great Wall as the boundary, you can subsidize Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan to guard the border. Mingguan is very difficult to enter, and you can still plot Jizhou at that time."

Faced with a passive situation, Chen Xi could only choose to protect Youzhou and seize Jizhou.

"Military strategist, Yuan Benchu, as a Jizhou shepherd, sent people to ask for the four counties of Jizhou!"

Chen Xi had a lot of thoughts and was sending an envoy to persuade Liu Bei to return to his teacher and stick to the frontier fortress. He suddenly heard that Yuan Shao, as Jizhou Mu, asked Liu Bei, Youzhou Mu for the four counties of Jizhou, and couldn't help being furious!

The four counties of Jizhou owned by Liu Bei were acquired under the planning of Chen Xi, and they were not borrowed from Jingzhou in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Yuan Shaokong has the name of Jizhou Mu, but his actual control is not beyond the nine counties of Jizhou.

"Since Yuan Shao is aggressive, you can contact Bingzhou Huma to destroy Yuan Shao!"

Chen Xi was angered by Yuan Shao.

How could Yuan Shao have to leave with the title of Jizhou Mu in the territory laid by his strength.

"When you come back from Mingguan, there is no hope of regaining the west of Liaoning. It's better than waiting for me to stop the soldiers. As Youzhou Mu, I will cede You Beiping County to your garrison, and let you be stationed in Yuyang County to provide you with food, grass and soldiers."

Liu Bei received a proposal from Chen Xi, an alien soldier. He had a great trust in this alien soldier. Without an alien soldier, he might still be under the fence.

So he chose to withdraw his troops and, according to the advice of the military division, handed You Beiping and even Yuyang to Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan, and used the power of the two princes to resist Mingguan.

This type of cooperation is not uncommon, and it can increase Liu Bei's power and generals. Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan fought Mingguan for a long time and were familiar with Mingguan's combat methods. By guarding the frontier fortress, they could delay Mingguan's progress in capturing Youzhou.

This is also a compromise made by Liu Bei's forces to Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan. Liu Bei needs to pay a little price if he wants to secure the position of Youzhou Mu.

Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan were also satisfied with Liu Bei's arrangement.

Liu Bei originally had the four counties of Jizhou, and he had an advantage over them. In addition, Chen Xi, an alien soldier, made friends with the Youzhou family. Therefore, it was difficult for Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan to compete with him for the position of Youzhou Mu. Liu Bei was willing to give up a site for them to garrison, and this result was already enough to satisfy them.

"Chu Zimou hasn't come back, it seems he is still in Mobei."

In Guanzhong, Lao Qin, who ranked second in the Battle of Mobei, came back to take control of Chang'an. He learned that Chu Zimou, who ranked first, had not returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty. He immediately responded that Chu Zimou was still trapped in Mobei.

"If he loses his way in Mobei, he will never come back like this, or he will die, and enter the Kanto in the future, he will lose a strong opponent."

Most princes were naturally overjoyed at the loss of this powerful opponent.

In theory, the battlefield of the Battle of Mobei may be closed forever.

If Chu Zimou and Cao Mengde were trapped in the Mobei battlefield, it would have a huge impact on the structure of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Chu Zimou really died in the Battle of Mobei, right?"

In the eastern county, the prince-prince Wenyu general Pang Juan was ordered by Xia Liang to attack a county and quickly take the eastern county. At this time, he learned that Xuzhou Mu's life and death was unknown, and he couldn't help but waver.

Gongziwen thought for a while, then shook his head: "Even if Chu Zimou died in Mobei, that woman still has Chu Zimou's children, she will not let Xuzhou easily collapse. There are Le Yi, Zhou Yafu, Li Xiuning, Xu Rong, Xu Sheng. Waiting for someone, she wants to guard the five counties of Xuzhou, it's easy to turn her back."

Gongziwen still couldn't think of betrayal.

"Still no news from the lord?"

Xia Liang learned that Chu Tian never came back. Now the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty have returned to their respective territories. Chutian may be left in Mobei forever!

Xia Liang was too worried and fainted. The maids of the Lord's Mansion were in a hurry. If Xuzhou's heirs had an accident, Xuzhou would be in chaos.

Senior physician Li Lan was hired by the lord’s mansion. When Xia Liang wakes up, she advises: "Miss Xia must be careful about the fetus, otherwise it will be easy to abort."

"but……"

Summer cold tears flowed down involuntarily, wet the clothes, pear blossoms with tears.

She single-handedly planned the attack on Yanzhou, and called Le Yi, who was good at attack, to command Zhou Yafu’s army, which had already captured most of Jibei. At the same time, she ordered Gongziwen's army army and Xu Rong's Xiliang army to attack East County and seize the smaller half. Dongjun reduced Cao Cao's power from three counties to two counties.

So much effort I just wanted to surprise Chu Tian when he returned. But thinking that Chu Tian might not come back, everything has no meaning.

A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman for a happy one is content. Without an audience, no matter how brilliant the performance is, it is just lonely admiration.

"Even if the lord is unpredictable, you still have his children, please take care not only for you, but also for the children. Moreover, the lord may not be able to come back, maybe it will only take a while."

Li Lan's words restored Xia Liang's hope of survival.

Even if he were to die, he would have to fulfill Chutian's long-cherished wish to unify the Eastern Han Dynasty and raise the child.

"Order Le Yi, Gongziwen, Li Xiuning, Li Guang, and Xu Rong to destroy Cao Cao's forces at all costs! Let the counties of Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou expand their troops and expand their troops by 20% to 30%!"

Xia Liang's decision made two hundred thousand troops invade Yanzhou and wrecked Cao Cao's territory.

When women vent their anger, they are terrible.
