CHAPTER XXIV
"What is the purpose of this artifact?" asked Gao Cheng.
Bu Qi thought for a moment before replying: "The grade of this artifact is close to the top, and the power of the Heavenly Mirror is about the same, my lord, in addition to the Emperor Shun chariot and the Great Seal of the Sealing Spirit, there must be other artifacts that have not been shown. If you play against Yuan, you have to be careful!"
There are many inheritance artifacts of the Yuan clan in Runan, except for the most powerful Emperor Shun chariot, which has been ingeniously seized over the years, I don't know how many artifacts I have. Now Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are rising in the south and north respectively. Yuan's heritage is also gradually revealed.
Last time, Gao Cheng took away the Hun Tian Banner from the Yuan family's elders, but the Runan Yuan family didn't react much, Gao Cheng secretly thought to himself in his heart, the reason why the Yuan family didn't react was nothing more than two points, either the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were attacking the city and plundering the land and ignoring the others, or the Yuan family was too rich, and a mere Hun Tian Banner was not taken into their eyes at all.
"Sealing the Great Seal, you can judge its function by listening to the name, the role of this artifact is to seal the soul of a cultivator, so that a strong person who refines can instantly become an ordinary person with no power to restrain the chicken!"
When Bu Qi talked about the Great Seal of the Sealing Spirit, his expression was very solemn. The ability to make a second-order powerhouse instantly turn into an ordinary person is very terrifying, of course, this artifact is not a permanent seal for people, but makes people unable to use any power for a short time.
"Temporarily seal all the power of a cultivator, and there is still such a treasure?" Gao Cheng was shocked. However, he did not show any discoloration on his face.
No matter how strong the Yuan clan's artifact is, it is impossible to surpass the jade seal of the country. As long as he arrives with his troops, if the other party has no other means, he will be forcibly suppressed like Chen Qi.
When this happens, the banquet can no longer be held.
The heads of many small and medium-sized families in Guangling originally wanted to directly propose to take refuge in Yangzhou at the banquet. Before he could open his mouth, he heard the news that the Yangzhou soldiers and horses were defeated by Yuan Shu's army in Ruyin. A different color flashed in everyone's eyes, and they were very silent.
Runan Yuan is the first family in the world. Gao Cheng occupies Yangzhou and Huainan, and can rank among the top three princes in the world. However, in this world, in addition to the princes, there are also extremely powerful families.
A Runan Yuan clan can create two top princes of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and it is conceivable that such a family can make up its mind to be the enemy of Gao Cheng. What kind of blow will Yangzhou suffer.
The heads of these small and medium-sized families were worried that they had just taken refuge in Yangzhou, and Gao Cheng would be defeated by the Yuan family, and then they would become a laughing stock. These people passed a look to each other, ready to wait until Gao Cheng and Yuan Shu decided to win or lose, and then decide whether to take refuge in Yangzhou.
......
Gao Cheng gave an order, and the soldiers and horses stationed near Guangling City quickly assembled. Dong Xi and Jiang Qin commanded the infantry and naval divisions respectively, and one by one the elite in armor boarded the warship.
Buqi was left in Guangling by Gao Cheng and dealt with the military affairs of Guangling County with Lu Su. As for Mi Zhu, who had just come to Guangling, he followed the warship to Shouchun. I'm going to join my second brother and third sister first.
On the Huai River that is rolling eastward, nearly 100 big ships can't see the edge at a glance, 100 big ships go upstream against the current, the speed is slower than when they come, and after nearly ten days, they hurriedly arrived at Shouchun.
At this time, Gao Tai, who was in Shouchun, after getting the news, had urgently trained 50,000 soldiers and horses, and added them to the soldiers and horses under Gao Cheng's command.
"Lord, the embroidered guards have passed on today's military situation!"
In the cabin, Gao Cheng and Xi Zhicai sat on the soft collapse, and Jiang Qin and Dong Xi knelt on both sides.
Zhou Cang stepped forward to report. A few days ago, Wu Anguo, who was stationed in Zhongli's camp, had already gone north to Yingshui and came to Ruyin to join Lu Dai, Zhou Tai, and Chen Wu. Under the full defense of Wu Anguo and Chen Wu, they were defeated and retreated for more than ten miles again, and the camp had already come to the edge of Yingshui and was almost driven into the river.
Now Yuan Shu has generals Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, and Sun Ce, who doesn't know when he belonged to the Yuan family. According to the information from the embroidered guard, these three people are all martial arts generals.
"Zhang Xun and Sun Ce challenged in front of the battle, Chen Wu was defeated by Sun Ce, Wu Anguo rescued Chen Wu, and the morale of our army dropped great......ly" Gao Cheng quickly read today's information, and he couldn't see any expression on his face.
One is the general of Yuan Shu as the emperor, and the other is the little overlord who crisscrosses the Jiangdong!
These two people have a deep hatred with Gao Cheng, among which Zhang Xun's Lujiang Zhang family was destroyed by Gao Cheng a few years ago, and the century-old family business was ruined. This kind of hatred cannot be washed away even if it is poured into all corners of the world.
and Sun Ce, the future Jiangdong overlord. Now there is only one general around him, Sun Ben, his father Sun Jian, Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, all of whom were killed by Gao Cheng.
This is also a hatred that is not shared. It is conceivable how these two people have worked hard to cultivate in order to take revenge and increase their strength in the past two years.
"Who is this Sun Ce? can he defeat Chen Wu?"
Zhang Xun once served in Luoyang and had a good reputation. Xi Zhicai had heard of his fame before. However, Sun Ce's name is unknown, like a person who suddenly jumped out of a stone. According to the intelligence, this person was just twenty years old, and he had actually cultivated to the realm of refining gang. Charging with a spear in hand, as if the overlord was reborn.
"He is Sun Jian's eldest son!" Gao Cheng said with a faint expression.
"Sun Jian's son, isn't he the head of the Sun family of Wu County? he actually took refuge in Yuan Shu!" Xi Zhicai was shocked when he heard this. The Sun family of Wujun is not a first-class family in the world, and its power is not strong, but it is a descendant of the soldier saint Sun Wu.
In the face of Ji Ling, Sun Ce, and Zhang Xun, it was not easy for Wu Anguo and Chen Wuneng to maintain the situation. So after Gao Cheng saw the information, he didn't criticize the two too much.
"The lord, the military advisor, and the three generals of Yuan Shu are all so powerful, and there are artifacts to help them, why don't they directly attack our army's camp?" I can't figure it out!" Jiang Qin asked. Dong Xi also nodded on the side, indicating that he was also a little confused.
Xi Zhicai suppressed the surprise just now, and said: "This should be the strategy of Yan Xiang, the military advisor under Yuan Shu, according to General Gongyi, now that the two generals Lu Dai and Zhou Tai are seriously injured, the enemy can indeed forcibly attack the camp, and even take the opportunity to kill the general of our army!"
"However, in addition to the foot soldiers, half of our army is a naval army, no matter how strong Yuan Shu's army is, there is no warship and it is impossible to catch up with Yingshui, they can achieve a big victory, but they can't win it all! Even if we lose 100,000 troops, our army will not be injured! So the other party left the camp and wanted to wait for the lord to personally lead the army to support. Armageddon with our army!"
