From the moment Ying Shengnan led the Shengnan army into Lang Evil City, the fate of Lang Evil City has been doomed.

Although Sun Chengzong is extraordinary, it is difficult to resist the crushing of Liu Cheng's army after all.

Under Ying Shengnan and Zhou Kui, plus three top generals and four first-class generals, he only lasted three hours before the city gate was breached.

After that, although he continued to hold out for seven hours, in the end he could only be unable to return to the sky, and his 150,000 troops were brutally defeated, and he himself was killed by a hammer.

As soon as Sun Chengzong died, the entire Lang Evil Country fell into the hands of Liu Cheng.

And Lang Evil Country is the gate of Xuzhou, once this gate is opened, it means that Xuzhou is equivalent to Liu Cheng's back garden, and he can invade as much as he wants.

This is a good thing for Liu Cheng, but for Xuzhou, it is a thing that makes them angry and panicked.

No one on Daming's side thought that Liu Cheng would suddenly make a move, let alone that Liu Cheng would be able to directly break through Lang Evil City and take down Lang Evil Country in one day, which directly led to Xuzhou's embarrassing situation.

You must know that although the entire city of Xuzhou has six counties, the population is about 80 million.

With such a region and population base, it seems to be very easy for Xuzhou to raise an army of one or two million, but in reality, it is not so easy.

The fact is that before Da Ming came out, they definitely had no way to recruit troops on a large scale, and at this time, it was only about a year before Da Ming came out.

There is that force that will frantically expand its troops by 2 million within a year, and the real standing army in Xuzhou is actually only 800,000.

And these 800,000 also have to deduct the 150,000 that Qingzhou was destroyed by Liu Cheng before, and the 150,000 that the Lang Evil Country had just been destroyed.

That is to say, at this time, Xuzhou was full of only 500,000 troops, if it was said that the Lang evil country had not fallen before, Daming still had the confidence to fight with Liu Deal, but now that the Lang evil country has fallen, although Daming is angry, but he also knows in his heart that he can't beat people.

Under this circumstance, the entire Ming Dynasty was running frantically, and on the side of the army, all the 500,000 standing troops that could be assembled were assembled, ready to fight Liu Cheng at any time.

At this time, Wenchen was not idle, on the one hand, he was preparing for the logistics of the army, and on the other hand, he began to release the conscription.

At the same time, the Ming side also sent an envoy to seriously condemn Liu Cheng's unrighteous act of sneak attack, and of course, it is more important to make a final effort to see if this matter can be resolved peacefully.

Of course, a peaceful solution is impossible to resolve peacefully, and Liu Cheng has never had this idea.

From the moment he ordered the attack on Xuzhou, it was destined to be a never-ending battle.

However, Liu Cheng's side did not continue to attack immediately, on the one hand, although the battle of Lang Evil City was successful, Liu Cheng's own army also suffered a lot of damage.

Under the first battle, Zhou Kui destroyed 90,000 and captured 60,000, and he himself paid close to 50,000 casualties, which was still a casualty ratio under the situation of a big advantage.

In addition, they had been on the road for a day before, and after this big battle, the Yellow Turban Army was also extremely tired at this time, and it took a certain amount of time to adjust their state.

What's more important is that Liu Cheng also needs a little time to take care of the evil country.

It was almost Zhou Kui who took the Lang Evil Country with his front foot, and Liu Cheng's people arrived with his back foot.

Liu Cheng's people came here at this time for only one purpose, that is, to scrape, crazy scrape.

After all, Liu Cheng didn't have the confidence or plan to occupy Xuzhou at this time, since he didn't plan to occupy it, he naturally did his best to scrape it, and the fight was defeated, Liu Cheng couldn't let himself send troops once in vain.

What Liu Cheng didn't know was that at the same time as he took the Lang Evil Country, Xun Yu in Luoyang also began to be busy.

Luoyang, Cao Mansion, Cao An's bedroom.

In the room at this moment, in addition to Xun Yu, who has barely left in the past month, there is also a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament.

This middle-aged man with an elegant temperament is the helper invited by Xun Yu with a face in the recent period, not only to help him operate Sili and Yuzhou, but also to help him complete the plan and rescue Cao An.

And this middle-aged man is indeed a good helper, Si Li and Yuzhou under his control, it cannot be said that they are thriving, but at least they have done it so that these two states have not had any chaos at all because of Cao An's coma in this month.

However, although this middle-aged man is tying up Xun Yu, he actually doesn't agree with what Xun Yu wants to do.

"Are you really sure you want to do this? Have you ever thought about the cost of doing this? There should be other ways to save him. ”

Watching Xun Yu take out a white crystal, the middle-aged man couldn't help but comfort again.

"Is there another way? What's the solution? I have no choice but to dig up Cao Mengde's martial soul, and now this is the only way I can take now. At this time, Xun Yu was a little crazy, but more determined.

"But this is the question you want to go, but you haven't asked him if he wants to go, once you do it today, the consequences will be terrible, once Liu Cheng knows that you use his father-in-law's martial soul fragments to save Cao An, it is difficult to say what he will do.

Didn't you just see yesterday's news, just because Wang Fugui's martial soul might be in Xuzhou, he directly sent troops to fight Xuzhou.

And ......"

"I know what you want to say, I've thought about it, it's been a month, I've already considered everything I should face, and I've already realized it."

After Xun Yu finished saying this, the middle-aged man was silent for a while and stopped talking, Xun Yu's sentence 'I have already realized it' has already expressed everything he wants to express.

Seeing that the middle-aged man stopped talking, Xun Yu smiled and began to act.

The fist-sized white spar in his hand was placed on the chest of the unconscious Cao An, and then the two walked out of the bedroom.

Not long after Xun Yu and the two walked out of the bedroom, a burst of light lit up in Cao An's bedroom.

At first, the light was soft and dim.

But as time passed, the light began to brighten up little by little, and then turned into a ten-meter-high pillar of light.

At the same time as the pillar of light rose, Cao An, who was in a coma, was also making a violent change, and the biggest change was his thinking attributes.

Before Cao An's martial soul was withdrawn, Cao An's thinking was okay, and his spirit, talent, and commander all reached more than 90.

After the martial soul was withdrawn, the fourth dimension dropped to about 70, and at this time, Cao An's thinking began to soar all the way again.

Although he has not yet seen the apex of the fourth dimension, there is no doubt that Xun Yu successfully used Wang Fugui's martial soul fragment to save Cao An......
