Xiangyang City. The small bridge is murmuring, the elegant courtyard is a step by step, the quiet path, and the rockery is rockery. It's a different taste. This mansion was originally a place carefully arranged by Cai Mao, and now it is the place where Gao Cheng temporarily lives in Xiangyang.

Gao Cheng put his hands behind his back, walked around the courtyard at will, and said secretly in his heart: "According to the intelligence, Zhou Yu led the army and Cao Cao have been fighting bloody battles for most of the day, and the winner should be determined at this time!"

The combined strength of both sides in this major battle is more than one million, but the huge soldiers and horses will not prolong the battle. As long as the two armies are in close proximity, it will take half a day to determine the victory and defeat.

Originally, there were often six months or several years of major battles in the timeline, except for siege battles, the time consumed by other battles was basically before the big war.

The mobilization of reserve troops and horses, the supply of grain and grass, and the stability of the rear...... Each of these things is an important factor that can affect the outcome of the war. And these things are very trivial. Unless all preparations are made, neither of the two opposing forces dares to act rashly. So correspondingly, the time of the Great War has become very long.

No matter how long the preparation time is, as long as the main forces of the two sides start to fight, the next one will quickly determine the winner and loser.

Suddenly, Gao Cheng stood in place, his eyes looking towards the void in the north, in the void that ordinary people could not see, a majestic force of fate was forming, and among these forces of fate, there was also a power that Gao Cheng was familiar with.

"Dragon's breath?"

Gao Cheng's heart moved slightly, his thoughts raced quickly, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face. I have already thought of the origin of this dragon qi.

"Cao Cao is defeated! This dragon qi is the dragon qi that escapes from him!"

As Emperor Wu of Wei in the original timeline, Cao Cao's power of fate was very strong, and after occupying Yanzhou and annexing most of Yuzhou, the power of fate in his body transformed into the qi of a dragon.

If he can defeat Zhou Yu this time, Jiaolong's qi can be greatly increased, and he can even become a true dragon reserve and be favored by heaven's will.

However, once Cao Cao is defeated in a crucial battle, the dragon qi on his body will also be damaged a lot.

As Gao Cheng expected, soon the embroidered guards, who had been paying attention to the Xinye War, received information that the Yangzhou army had won the final victory in the decisive battle with Cao Cao.

"In this battle, more than 200,000 Cao's troops were defeated, 43,000 people were killed, and 80,000 prisoners were captured! Cao Hong, the general of Cao's army, was beheaded by Zhou Taizhen......

Gao Cheng frowned slightly after seeing the information, although he won this battle, Cao Cao only lost one Cao Hong, and the other generals were almost not damaged, and they still retained some strength.

The more than 600,000 troops in Yangzhou suffered heavy losses from the impact of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and suffered 50,000 or 60,000 casualties in this battle. It reached one-tenth of the army, which can be said to be a pyrrhic victory.

......

"Lord, our army has won a big victory, General Zhou and General Lu each led their troops north, sweeping through various cities in Nanyang County, and the seven counties of Jingzhou have all fallen into the hands of our army!"

After the war, Gao Cheng convened the civil and military affairs to discuss in the main hall, and Xi Zhicai was the first to speak as a military advisor. The tone was uplifting.

"In addition to Nanyang County, we must also set our sights on Yuzhou! At present, Cao's army has returned with heavy losses, and the troops remaining in Yingchuan, Chen, Liang, and Pei are insufficient! Lord, this is a good opportunity! As long as you send a general, you can easily pocket these counties!"

When Xi Zhi said this, he stopped and looked at Gao Cheng with his eyes. Look expectant. If these counties and counties in Yuzhou are taken, it will be equivalent to taking most of the Central Plains. As long as Yuzhou can be consumed, Yangzhou's power can be doubled immediately. Crush the other princes of the world.

I also want to immediately send troops to attack Yuzhou, but now is not an opportunity, our army's soldiers and horses have been lost by nearly one percent, and it has reached the limit, if we send troops to fight again, it will affect the morale of the army!"

Gao Cheng sighed slightly and said, "And Zhou Tai made a big mistake this time, he was beaten with two hundred military sticks, and he changed from a general to a captain. There is no qualification to command the army. Except for Zhou Tai, the other generals were all guarding in Yangzhou and the south of Jingzhou, and they could not go north for a short time. Winning Nanyang is already our limit!"

Xi Zhicai smiled when he heard this, and his eyes fell on the few people around him. Gao Cheng couldn't help but move in his heart when he saw his movements.

In the main hall, in addition to Gao Cheng and Xi Zhicai, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue, who had defected to the Yangzhou Army not long ago, also knelt on both sides of the main hall.

When they heard Xi Zhicai's words, their expressions were different. Among them, Cai Mao's eyes showed a hint of joy, and it seemed that his decision to join Gao Cheng was correct. Although the rules of the Yangzhou army made them, the Xiangyang family suffer a lot of losses, and the land they occupied was forced to spit out a lot.

But these are not worth mentioning in an instant compared to the dragon's skill.

Judging from the current situation, Gao Cheng is very likely to seize the world, and if the Cai family makes great contributions in the process of seizing the world, he will inevitably become a famous family in the world in the future. Reduced centuries of struggle.

"Lord, my subordinates ask for an order, and they are willing to lead the Xiangyang army to attack the counties of Yuzhou!" Cai Mao could also feel Gao Cheng and Xi Zhicai's eyes, his face changed, he stood up suddenly, and said loudly in the middle of the main hall.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun also hurriedly stood up. He has always followed in Cai Mao's footsteps. Support all of Cai Mao's decisions. And Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue next to him changed slightly, Cai Mao led the Xiangyang army to attack Yuzhou, which was ready to die and take refuge in Gao Cheng.

And in the process of attacking the city, the originally huge Xiangyang army will also lose a lot, reducing the taboo of Gao Cheng and other high-level leaders of the Yangzhou army.

Gao Cheng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Since General Cai is so ambitious, how can I stop it?" However, Brother Deqi, although Cao Cao was defeated, the general did not lose too much, and attacking Yuzhou is not as easy as you imagined, you have to be mentally prepared!"

Cai Mao gritted his teeth and said: "Thank you for the lord's guidance, my subordinates have a reluctant request, and I also ask the lord to put General Wen Ping and General Huang Zhong back, I am willing to persuade them to take refuge in the lord, with two people to help, the subordinates are ten percent sure to take Yuzhou!"

Xi Zhicai's face changed when he heard this, and he opened his mouth to prepare to dissuade him. It's just a matter of clerical employment. Huang Zhongke is a peerless general, and he has a deep hatred for the Yangzhou Army in his heart, if he is released and is bent on being the enemy of the Yangzhou Army, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Okay! I agreed to this matter!" Gao Cheng did not hesitate at all, and agreed to Cai Mao's conditions. Huang Zhong and Wen Ping are both talented generals, and it is worth taking a risk.

......

After arranging everything, Gao Cheng left it alone. He is the lord, if he is allowed to do everything, then why does he raise so many subordinates? The most important thing for him is to improve his strength, this time attacking Jingzhou and fighting Cao Cao in a row. triggered the fate of tens of millions of people in Jingzhou and Yuzhou, coupled with the impact of the war between the two armies, so that Gao Cheng got unimaginable points.

"More than 10 million fate points have been credited to the account! Now that I have comprehended the law of the five elements, I can use the remaining two gourd supernatural powers to begin to comprehend the laws of light and darkness and space......"

Inside the quiet room, Gao Cheng took a look at the light curtain transformed by the Gate of Destiny, and then the thoughts in his heart began to flicker.
