"My lord, the last general has repelled the enemy."

On the grassland of Muzhou, Cheng Lian Pegasus came and reported to Lu Bu excitedly.

Who knew that Lu Bu not only did not show joy when he heard this, but his expression was a little solemn. glanced at Cheng Lian and said solemnly: "Introduce the detailed process of the battle to this general!" ”

Cheng Lian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lu Bu to be interested in this inconspicuous little battle, but he still said neatly: "Lord Qi, the enemy army has a combat corps as the core, supplemented by a large number of temporarily recruited auxiliaries, with a total strength of about 400,000, starting from Longmu City to harass the right flank of our army.

In accordance with the order of the lord, the last general led 500,000 iron cavalry to meet the enemy. Under the superior strength of our army, after two hours of fighting, the enemy army was defeated and completely withdrew to Longmu City. According to the instructions of the lord, his subordinates did not launch an attack on Longmu City. ”

"What about casualties between friend and foe?"

"The cumulative casualties are about 60,000, the enemy has killed 40,000, captured 50,000, and a large number of people have been separated, and less than 250,000 can really escape back to Longmu City."

"It shouldn't be!!"

Hearing the return of the Lian, Lu Bu's brows furrowed even tighter, and he muttered to himself.

"Wen Hou, is there something wrong?"

Liu Fengqi, who was next to him, immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Yuan Tan, Cao Ang and others also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Lu Bu's name as the god of war is not called in vain, while the single combat effectiveness is unique in the world, Lu Bu also has very profound attainments in commanding wars, not to mention Liu Feng and Yuan Tan, even their parents dare not despise them.

"We have been too smooth along the way, from beginning to end, the only battle that can be called resistance is the one that Cheng Lian has just experienced, but this is obviously not the level that the merchant army should have!"

"Wen Hou, are you looking too highly at that merchant? According to the information that the general learned, there were two combat corps originally stationed in Muzhou, one of which was transferred because of the battle of Chenzhou some time ago, and has not yet returned. The remaining battle legions are still very low, and they are at the bottom of the merchant army system. Now that we are attacking from all sides, the Shang Ji forces are overstretched, and they are unable to support Muzhou, isn't this what it should mean? ”

Ma Chao next to him was a little angry, glanced at Lu Bu, and said displeasedly.

"Humph!"

Lu Bu snorted coldly, but he didn't refute it.

Because Ma Chao is right, the transfer of the Shang Army's troops, especially the movement of the combat corps, can be said to be the most concerned issue of the alliance, I don't know how many spies are staring at it, there is only one combat corps in Muzhou, this is the result of joint verification by many forces, it is impossible to make mistakes!

Lu Bu also knew this truth, but the intuition of the God of War still made Lu Bu feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what the problem was.

"Pass the order down, extend the scout reconnaissance distance by another hundred miles, put the outpost eight hundred miles away, report the situation every five minutes, and report any disturbances immediately."

"Yes, my lord!"

Ma Chao next to him pursed his lips silently when he saw this, but he didn't provoke again.

On the one hand, because the two sides are allies now, and Lu Bu is still the commander, even for the purpose of maintaining unity, he is embarrassed to go too far, of course, the most important reason is that he really can't beat Lu Bu.........

After the order was given, the army continued its march.

Two hours later, Zhang Liao, who was next to Lu Bu, suddenly pointed ahead and asked.

"My lord, what do you think it is?"

Lu Bu followed Zhang Liao's expectations, but saw that it was a huge monument. This giant monument is dark all over, the building base alone covers an area of more than 800 acres, the height is nearly 400 zhang, the real sense goes straight to the sky, even if it is separated by hundreds of miles on the vast prairie, it can be seen.

Lu Bu introduced with a complicated expression: "This is the Soul Suppression Monument, which is the Soul Suppression Monument built by Shang Ji after defeating Xianbei with a huge amount of manpower and material resources, which is used to pay tribute to the Chinese warriors who have buried their bones in the grassland over the years. ”

"In the whole Muzhou, Shang Ji built a total of three town soul monuments, this is one of them, when it was completed, it was also invited to come to worship the martyrs of the past dynasties, but I didn't expect to come here again today, it is already a matter of people."

The others all looked at the Soul Suppression Monument with complicated expressions, and even the most arrogant Ma Chao was silent.

Although it was an enemy of Shang Ji, but Shang Ji's exploits even these enemies had to be admired, from the founding of Gaozu to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, during the two Han Dynasty and four hundred years, the grassland has been a major problem in the Central Plains. Even at the peak of the Han Dynasty, it only suppressed the grassland, not to mention conquest, and the birth of Shang Ji not only eliminated the grassland regime, but also organized the grassland people into households, and even turned them into a state.

With such an enemy, the psychological pressure of everyone can be imagined.

"Forget it, since you have arrived, you will pay homage with me again, Wen Yuan, you command the army to continue to advance, and you will come when you go!"

After speaking, Lu Bu didn't care about other reactions, and galloped away.

The others looked at each other, and finally followed.

Half an hour later, after a brief salute, Lu Bu and the others converged with the army and continued to gallop forward.

By the time the army had all passed and gone, night had fallen.

Under the Soul Monument, two figures stood side by side.

"Uncle, that person just now seems to be quite strong."

After a moment of silence, one of them suddenly spoke.

"Well, we've reached the pinnacle of what this world can hold." The other, who looked slightly older, nodded blankly, then fell silent again.

After half an hour, the person who answered just now shook his head and said with some regret: "It's a pity, after so many years of awakening, the opponent of the first battle turned out to be the people of the Great Han. ”

"It's okay, the order from Xiangping's side is just to trap them, control the strength, and there won't be too many people sacrificed."

The middle-aged man nodded imperceptibly, and then said, "Go sick, let's start!" ”

"Good!"

The older one answered, then waved his hand.

A layer of ripples like water waves appeared on the surface of the War Spirit Monument, and then a fully armed general jumped out of the horse, and then a tide of soldiers surged out of the War Spirit Monument, crowding the grassland in just a moment.

The Soul Suppression Monument, its real name should be the Battle Soul Monument, and it was not built by Shang Ji, and the number is not the three that Lu Bu knows.

In fact, this sky-high monument is just a cover-up, and there are thirty-six battle spirit tablets distributed throughout the grassland, and each battle spirit monument contains tens of millions of war spirits, as long as Shang Ji needs it, he can wake up the war spirit at any time in the grassland to help fight.

And the two people who spoke just now are not ordinary people, but Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who are known as the twin masters of the empire!

When Wei Qing and the others summoned the battle spirit inside this battle spirit monument, the six battle spirit tablets hidden around them were activated one after another, and overnight, without Lu Bu and the others being completely unaware, they were surrounded by hundreds of millions of war spirit troops.
