A teenager arrives at a camp outside Liucheng to meet with Sun Bin, one of his teachers.

Zhuge Liang worshipped a number of Wenchen generals as teachers, and came to Liucheng to experience at this time.

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

The current 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 time of the lord's departure, and he participated in the military in advance.

"Liucheng seems to be extremely strong, and it must have hoarded a lot of weapons and grain and grass in peacetime."

Zhuge Liang went into battle for the first time, observed the city walls of Liucheng, and found that Liucheng was worthy of being a fortress that the Liaodong Army had invested countless times in the past, and another lonely bamboo city.

The defenders of Liucheng were Xianbei and Wuhuan, with two or three hundred thousand troops.

"Liucheng is not easy to attack, and there are heavy losses in order to storm Liucheng, and the Liaodong Army will cut off our army's food route and turn defeat into victory."

Sun Bin was quite satisfied with Zhuge Liang's ability to see that although Liucheng was not big, it was not easy to attack.

Zhuge Liang has not yet reached his peak, and he has already gained some knowledge.

"Sir, how can we capture Liucheng?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Bin.

"Liaoxi was defeated, the prestige of the Ming King declined, Liaodong changed drastically, and the various departments were ready to move again, such as ......"

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

"If we stir up the relationship between the various tribes and the Ming King, then Liaodong will be chaotic, and some tribes that originally did not agree with our conditions will also compromise and surrender."

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

"Exactly. Sometimes, it may be better to retreat as advance, but the lord hopes to get a teleportation array here. ”

Sun Bin also has a lot to consider.

Chutian was in the military tent, planning to pacify Liaoxi and Liaodong, and then return to Xiacheng, or turn back to deal with Guanzhong.

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

On the western continent, it is not calm, and there are constant wars between various civilizations.

"When you're free, bring Peter and Anna to me."

Chu Tian said this to Catherine before she left.

After the birth of his youngest daughter Anna, Chu Tian had not seen him a few times.

Chutian has no opinion on Catherine naming a son and a daughter Peter and Anna, after all, Catherine is responsible for raising her, and Chutian is just throwing her hands in charge, and it is not good to ask Catherine to do everything according to her own will.

Before Harald left, he had another fight with Dian Wei, and the two of them had blue noses and swollen faces.

Harald can't beat Dian Wei under normal circumstances, but Harald enters a berserk state and can quickly close the gap between the two people, so Dian Wei is not comfortable.

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

Catherine rolled her eyes.

Chu Tian is also a big heart, and he hasn't even seen his youngest daughter a few times.

Chu Tian was helpless, the war did not stop, and Chu Tian lacked skills.

Catherine left the camp with her troops.

"Lord, there is an urgent report from Guanzhong, King Qin is unconscious, and the whole Guanzhong is in chaos!"

When Chu Tianzheng felt that he had no time to clone, another important news reached his hands.

Mingguan was suppressed to Liaodong, and another strong 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.

And 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 has no leader, and they can take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the rich Guanzhong region.

"Is this the so-called luck ......?"

Chutian opened up a two-way situation at once, and whether it was annexing Liaodong or Guanzhong, it was a good opportunity.

"Take Liaodong first, or take Guanzhong first? If Lao Qin comes to his senses and the situation improves, then he will miss the opportunity to annex Guanzhong. ”

Chu Tian fell into a short choice.

Theoretically, Guanzhong is more important.

Chutian immediately summoned Sun Bin, Xun You, Zhang Bin, Fang Xuanling, Cao Di and others.

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

Unconsciously, the children who were still running noses at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty had grown up at this time and were involved in troubled times.

Thinking about it carefully, Chu Tian made a marriage contract for his son Chu Wu and Sun Jian's daughter Sun Shangxiang in private.

Chu Tian has also reached the age of establishment, and it feels quite amazing to see a group of little guys grow up.

"Kong Ming, you came just in time, and we will participate in the decision."

Chutian didn't mind letting Zhuge Liang get involved in the military in advance.

Although Zhuge Liang is better at internal affairs, he knows more things, and it is not necessarily impossible to get in and out of the phase.

"This king has received definite news, King Qin is unconscious, and it is very likely that he will ...... Pass away. ”

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

The leader of the Guanzhong group is unconscious, and there is no better chance to annex Guanzhong.

Now that Chutian is in power, the situation is very good.

"Summoning you is to decide whether to concentrate the main force and capture Liaodong City, or transfer to Guanzhong and pacify it?"

Chu Tian glanced at the many strategists present.

Xun You, who has always been low-key, said: "Chen and Guo Fengxiao once tried to separate the Wuhuan tribe, if it weren't for the outbreak of the Youzhou War and the Liaoxi War, they might have succeeded." When the war broke out, the loose Xianbei tribe was forced to join forces under the call of Murong Ke. At present, the king of Ming has lost his prestige, and if the lord does not persecute too tightly and continues to separate, perhaps Liaodong will fall into chaos. ”

"It seems that you and Fengxiao had other ideas during their time in Youzhou."

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

Xun You thought that the attack on Liaodong could be stopped and the battle in Guanzhong could be stopped.

Although the attack on Liaodong was stopped, it was still possible to muddy the waters of Liaodong and weaken the strength of Mingguan by using a discordant strategy.

To be pacified in Guanzhong, and then solve the chaotic Liaodong, it will be more labor-saving.

During the period when Xun You and Guo Jia assisted in guarding Youzhou, they did not do nothing, and they have been trying to sow discord.

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

"Since you all think that you should temporarily slow down the attack on Liaodong at this time, and take Guanzhong first...... But Liucheng must be taken, and with a teleportation array, there will be no need to travel thousands of miles to transport grain and grass to attack Liaodong in the future. ”

"The lord can surround the three queyi, leave a way out for the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, and then rush to attack the other three directions, forcing the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes to abandon the city and flee. During the siege of Liucheng, he gathered a large army in Guanzhong, which could be immediately transferred to Guanzhong. ”

"Very good."

Between Liaodong City and Guanzhong, Chutian chose to occupy the chaotic Guanzhong.

A decisive battle broke out between Liaoxi County and Mingguan, and the losses were not huge, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of losses in the future in a head-on decisive battle with Lao Qin.

Now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to avoid a decisive battle with Lao Qin and capture Guanzhong at a relatively small cost, which Chu Tian could not ask for.

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

Before Chu Tian started the war, he may not have surrendered many tribes of Xianbei and Wuhuan, but the conditions proposed by these tribes were difficult for Chu Tian to accept.

What Chu Tian needed was for them to surrender completely, and the nobles to hand over power, and the nobles of various tribes would not be willing to hand over power at all.

Only by scaring them would they agree to Chu Tian's harsh conditions.

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

Chutian asked Xun You to try to win over some of the Xianbei people and deal with the other part of the Xianbei people.

On the surface, the Xia army continued to attack Liucheng, but in fact, Chutian secretly ordered all kinds of troops and horses to assemble in Hedong County, intending to bypass the majestic Tongguan and conquer Guanzhong.

"Bring the redcoat cannon."

Even though the number of shells of the red-coated cannon was not large, Chu Tian still chose to bring the red-coated cannon captured from Mingguan and go to deal with the Guanzhong army, maybe it could be used.

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

During Chutian's conquest of western Liaoning, Wu Qi took almost the entire Hedong County.

Now, Chu Tian's goal is the entire Guanzhong.

The Mingguan forces have been crippled by Chutian, the threat has become smaller, and various tribes are ready to move. The Xia army slowed down the pressure on Liaodong, and according to the speculation of various strategists, Liaodong would fall into chaos internally.

"This time, Kong Ming, you follow me to Guanzhong."

Chu Tian decided to take Zhuge Liang with him to practice.

The siege of Liucheng took time, Chutian handed over the task of besieging Liucheng to Wei Qing, Zhou Yafu, Cao Cao and other generals, besieged but not attacked, and also left a city gate to let the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry flee to Liaodong, first, to avoid the tragic siege battle, and secondly, once the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry entered Liaodong, the contradiction between the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry and Mingguan would be more intense.

Fishing in the sea, a large number of Eight Banners cavalry, Mongolian cavalry, and Zhao Bian cavalry were killed.

The battle of Liaoxi was tragic, and the battle of Yuerhai was equally tragic.

Prince Yan, Huma, Nurhachi, and Wanyan Agu fought a big battle, and the battle lasted for more than 20 days, and both sides lost their troops.

In the end, Nurhachi and Wanyan Aguta learned of the defeat of the battle in western Liaoning, so they were forced to withdraw from the fishing sea and retreat in the direction of eastern Liao.

For a time, Liaodong was also turbulent, the remnants of various tribes were defeated and poured into Liaodong County, a few towns were sacked by the rout, and the order was chaotic, and Mingguan was already somewhat unable to suppress the leaders of various tribes.
