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

In Dingxiang County, Wei Qing's Western 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 Saine, they could no longer get points, and it was of little significance to continue to stay in the Mobei battlefield.

"I hope Chu Zimou will not be wiped out in Mobei. Without you, who should Longxi's war horses be sold to?"

The princes of the Han army in the West Road led their respective troops back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. As the largest buyer of Longxi Horse City, Chutian bought 10,000, or even tens of thousands of excellent warhorses from Longxi every year. Xu Fengnian didn't want to lack the big customer Chutian.

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

Huo Qubing's East Route Army pursued to Hanhai, the journey was farther, and the time to return to the division was later.

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

"My lord, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was killed in battle. The officials of Youzhou welcomed Liu Bei to take over Youzhou. With Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan as his wings, they once again attacked Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong!"

"Xuzhou Mu launched a fierce attack on Yanzhou Jibei Kingdom and Dongjun, and it is like a broken bamboo!"

Yuan Shao returned to Jizhou, and the pattern of the Eastern Han Dynasty underwent tremendous changes, and Youzhou and Yanzhou fell into war.

Yuan Shao was taken aback: "Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou clearly did not come back, why did Xuzhou suddenly attack Yanzhou?"

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

Shen Pei said: "My subordinates think that someone is using Xuzhou military power in place of Xuzhou Mu!"

"If this is the case, it will be bad. Cao Mengde is still in Mobei, and the people he left behind don't know if they can stop the Xuzhou army."

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

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

Guo Tu replied: "If Liu Da'er enters Youzhou, Jizhou will be unprepared. If the lord takes advantage of the situation, he can take down the Jizhou nine counties in one fell swoop.

It will take time for Chu Zimou to unify the Central Plains. If the lord takes Youzhou again, he can fight against Chu Zimou! "

Tian Feng, the military advisor who stayed behind, has been assessing the situation: "No. Liu Bei is blocking Mingguan in the east, and it is a barrier for me. I can't wait for him to be grateful, why should we attack his territory? At this time, Cao Mengde is in danger. If the lord goes south to support Cao Mengde, he will Everyone from top to bottom is grateful to the lord, and the lord can get all his troops, horses, food, grass, civil servants and generals. Otherwise, Chu Zimou will unify the Central Plains, and in order to seize the horse-producing land, he will definitely go north, and there is no need to worry about it."

Guo Tu argued: "The lord is the shepherd of Jizhou, there are nine counties in Jizhou, but there are only five counties, and four counties are occupied by Liu Da'er. Those four counties are the land that the lord deserves. If Liu Da'er really wants to be with the lord When dividing up Hebei, since you have obtained the land in Youzhou, you should give up the land in Jizhou. In this way, the lord can believe his sincerity. Otherwise, the lord has only five counties, even if you save Cao Mengde and get the three counties in Yanzhou, you will still be in the end. It will be taken advantage of by others. The three counties of Yanzhou are the site of four battles, so does the lord want to be distracted from Hebei and the Central Plains at the same time, and he is exhausted?

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

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

Yuan Shao was also half a hero. While sending messengers to threaten Liu Bei, he ordered a large army to prepare for battle, going north or south at any time. With the five counties, Yuan Shao could piece together an army of 200,000.

Officials at all levels in Xuzhou also knew that the princes who participated in the Battle of Mobei had returned, and immediately asked 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 your lord?"

In summer, it is the first time to ask people to inquire.

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

"My husband will definitely be back..."

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

In the Mobei battlefield, Huo Qubing's Northern Route Army returned to Dai County. The various princes said goodbye to Huo Qubing and returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Congratulations to the lord, the subordinates have lived up to their expectations and have defended Western Liaoning. When the lord comes back, even if Liu Bei comes to attack, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Yao Guangxiao was relieved when he saw Mingguan coming back. Liu Bei temporarily compromised with Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan, and promised Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan that Youbeiping and western Liaoning in Youzhou would still be owned by Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan, so he re-formed a coalition and attacked western Liaoning again.

Since Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, has returned, he is almost certain to win.

As soon as Mingguan came back, he said to Yao Guangxiao: "Chu Zimou must have already started to recruit troops, preparing 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 seize Youzhou with all your strength! Chu Zimou is about to own the Central Plains, how can we be left behind! Before Chu Zimou owns the Central Plains and Qilu, he must occupy the four Hebei provinces in order to compete with them!"

Mingguan realizes that the crisis is coming, and he must speed up his entry, otherwise he will be stuck outside the customs forever, unable to advance or retreat. He didn't want to be blocked by the Great Wall built by Youzhou, and would be outside the gate all his life.

Yao Guangxiao was puzzled: "My lord, my subordinates have not heard that Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou has returned to Xuzhou, but someone has attacked Yanzhou instead of Chu Zimou."

"He hasn't come back yet?!"

Mingguan is hard to believe.

The princes of the two roads were divided into two groups and returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Chu Zimou disappeared, which must be said to be a strange thing.

Mingguan recalled the fallen Han troops he saw at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain, and seemed to have an answer in his heart: "Maybe Chu Zimou is still fighting against the Xiongnu in Mobei. It's just that the main force of the Xiongnu has been destroyed, and there are not many points for chasing the Xiongnu. With such a low price/performance ratio, why would he still stay in Mobei?"

"This subordinate will recall the generals who attacked the Xianbei tribe in the north, as well as the generals of the Yanqi Association, to attack Youzhou."

Yao Guangxiao took note.

Having a qualified advisor is very important for a force.

Mingguan stood on the wall of Lone Bamboo City, and the fierce general Chang Yuchun was like a dragon and tiger, looking down on Liu Bei's second coalition.

Although Liu Bei now owns four counties in Jizhou, five counties in Youzhou, Zhuo, Guangyang, Dai, Shanggu and Yuyang, a total of nine counties, but in Chang Yuchun's eyes, they are nothing.

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

Chang Yuchun has great courage: "100,000 is enough!"

"Hahaha, I will give you 100,000 troops for this crusade against Youzhou! At the same time, I will recruit 50,000 Wuhuan cavalry and 50,000 Xianbei cavalry to capture Youbeiping County and attack Youzhou. Once you have Youzhou, taking Hebei is as easy as the palm of your hand!"

"You can't continue to attack western Liaoning, Mingguan has returned, Chang Yuchun can take over the world with an army of 100,000, and Yide is not his opponent!"

Liu Bei's military advisor, Chen Xi, returned to Zhongshan. He heard that Liu Bei was not reconciled to the failure of his first crusade against western Liaoning and his second crusade against western Liaoning.

Liu Bei still lacks a military advisor, and the Yiren Chen Xi is considered a first-class strategist. If he hadn't persuaded Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, to secretly befriend the officials of Youzhou, Liu Bei's reputation would flourish in Youzhou, and the officials of Youzhou would also Liu Bei will not be welcomed into Youzhou.

Even, the reason why Liu Bei owns the four counties in Jizhou is because of Chen Xi's secret plan.

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

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

"If you stick to Youzhou, take the Great Wall as the boundary, and then help Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan to guard the border. It will be difficult to enter the border in Mingguan, and you can also seek Jizhou at that time."

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

"Counselor, Yuan Benchu, as the shepherd of Jizhou, sent people to claim the four counties of Jizhou!"

Chen Xi was in a hurry, and was sending messengers to persuade Liu Bei to return to his division and stick to the frontier fortress. He suddenly heard that Yuan Shao, as the minister of Jizhou, asked Liu Bei of Youzhou to ask for the four counties of Jizhou, and he couldn't help but be furious!

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

Yuan Shaokong has the title of Jizhou Shepherd, but his actual control is less than the Jizhou nine counties.

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

Chen Xi was provoked by Yuan Shao.

How could Yuan Shao go away with the empty title of a Jizhou shepherd for a territory built with strength.

"Returning from Mingguan, there is no hope of recapturing western Liaoning. It is better for me to stop the army. As the shepherd of Youzhou, I will give you the garrison of Youbeiping County, and have people stationed in Yuyang County to provide you with food, grass and troops."

Liu Bei received a proposal from Chen Xi, a foreign military advisor. He had great trust in this foreign military advisor. Without a foreign military advisor, he might still be under the fence of others.

So he chose to withdraw his army, and according to the counselor's suggestion, he handed over Youbeiping and even Yuyang to Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan, and used the strength of the two princes to resist Mingguan.

This type of cooperation is not uncommon and can increase Liu Bei's power and generals. Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan have been at war with Mingguan for a long time, and they are familiar with the fighting methods of Mingguan. By guarding the frontier fortress, they can delay the progress of Mingguan to seize Youzhou.

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

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

Liu Bei originally had four prefectures in Jizhou, and he had an advantage over them. In addition, Chen Xi, a foreign military adviser, 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 Shepherd. Liu Bei was willing to give up a piece of land for them to garrison troops, and this result was enough to satisfy them.

"Chu Zimou hasn't come back yet. It seems that he is still in Mobei."

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

"If he gets lost in Mobei, he will never come back like this, or if he is killed in battle, he will have one less powerful opponent when he enters Kanto in the future."

Most of the princes were overjoyed to lose this formidable 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 entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Chu Zimou didn't really die in the Battle of Mobei, right?"

In Dongjun, Prince Wen and his general Pang Juan were ordered by Xia Tianliang to attack a county and rush to take Dongjun. At this time, he learned that Xuzhou Mu's life and death were unknown, and he couldn't help shaking.

Gong Ziwen thought for a while, then shook his head: "Even if Chu Zimou was killed 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 Wait, she has to guard the five counties of Xuzhou, which is as easy as the palm of your hand."

Gong Ziwen still couldn't think of betrayal.

"Still no news from the lord?"

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

Xia Xia Liang was so worried that he fainted. The maids of the lord's mansion were in a hurry. If something happened to Xuzhou's heir, Xuzhou would be in chaos.

Senior physician Li Lan was employed by the lord's mansion. Seeing Xia Xia Liang woke up, she advised: "Miss Xia, please be careful with the fetus, otherwise it will be easy to miscarry."

"but……"

Summer's cool tears flowed down involuntarily, wetting the front of the clothes, and the pear blossoms brought tears.

She single-handedly planned the attack on Yanzhou, and called Le Yi, who was good at attacking, to command the original Zhou Yafu's army, which had already captured most of Jibei Kingdom. Dongjun, which compressed Cao Cao's forces from three prefectures to two prefectures.

So much trouble, just want to surprise Chutian when he comes back. But thinking that Chutian might not come back, everything is meaningless.

Men die for those who are confidants, and women are honored for those who please them. Without the audience, no matter how brilliant the performance is, it is just self-admiration.

"Even if something goes wrong with the lord, 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, it may just take a while."

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

Even if he were to die, he had to fulfill Chutian's long-cherished wish of unifying the Eastern Han Dynasty and bring up the children.

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

Xia Xia Liang's decision allowed an army of 200,000 troops to invade Yanzhou and destroy Cao Cao's territory.

When a woman vents her anger, it's scary.
