Chapter 1000: Strength Greatly Increased
Cao Cao personally led his army south this time, and the main reason was not Yangzhou, but Jingzhou.
Liu Biao hangs!
The plot of the early stage of the game in the previous life advanced very quickly, and later when Wei Shuwu and Yuan Shao stood side by side, the NPC princes gradually took off the aura of the protagonist and handed over the stage to the player.
In this life, according to the timeline recorded by Jiang Zhuo, Liu Biao's death was advanced. Liu Bei's movements were also very fast, and he quickly took Liu Qi into Xiangyang, and came to a Jingzhou version of the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Cao Cao had to go south quickly, Liu Bei was not the kind of person who had no ambition like Liu Biao, not to mention that there was an alliance between Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. If Liu Bei sticks a knife in his back when he fights with Yuan Shao in the future, then he will be very passive.
This is also the reason why he still had to fight for the risk of losing the front line during the previous Battle of Chibi, and divided his troops to solve Liu Bei first.
Jiang Zhuo also saw the messenger from Liu Bei for the first time, and Liu Bei still had a friendship with him. Now that Cao Cao has issued a letter to fight against the thief, he wants to crusade against Liu Bei, so Liu Bei naturally has to win over his allies and join forces against the enemy.
The envoy was of Iraqi origin, and the purpose of his apparent mission was to mediate the war between Jiang Zhuo and Sun Ce. Of course, this is just a high-sounding excuse, Liu Bei's main purpose is still to unite Jiang Zhuo and Sun Ce against Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao in the north was fighting wits and courage with the Yellow Turban of Montenegro in Montenegro at this time, it was not a war that could end in a short time, but as long as Yuan Shao was there, Cao Cao had to guard against it.
This time, Cao Cao went south, bringing only 100,000 troops, plus an unknown number of scattered players. Such a force is nothing to Liu Bei.
Jingzhou has 100,000 troops and 200,000 sailors, and if the strength of the players is more powerful, Liu Bei's charm is not weaker than Cao Cao's. It's just that Liu Bei hasn't been able to fully control Jingzhou, he can only control Jiangxia and Xiangyang, adding up to a total of more than 50,000 soldiers and horses.
When Cao Cao arrives, Cai Mao will definitely rebel, and then Cao Cao's forces will skyrocket. Moreover, Jingzhou has been peaceful for too long, and when there was chaos in various places, Jingzhou was still very stable, so the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou army was simply spicy.
Jiang Zhuo directly agreed to the Iraqi request for an alliance, but raised his own concern, that is, he was not worried about Sun Ce. Zhang Zhao next to him interjected, saying that if Sun Ce was willing to attack Xuzhou from Guangling County, [Lingyun Palace] could attack Huaxin.
At that time, Liu Bei only needs to deal with the main force brought by Cao Cao, and he doesn't have to worry about being attacked from both sides. After all, if Cao Jun crossed the Yangtze River from Huaxin's side, it would also make Liu Bei very passive.
Liu Bei's reliance is Jingzhou's water surface combat effectiveness, as well as the two natural barriers of the Han River and the Yangtze River. Once Cao Cao was allowed to take a detour and fight head-on, Liu Bei would be even more unsure.
Yi Ji is also a strategist, and he understands that with the current grudge between Jiang Zhuo and Sun Ce, if he forcibly brings everyone together, then something will happen. So he responded and said that he would have a deep talk with Sun Ce and his father-in-law.
Jiang Zhuo finally delayed this time, although the process was a little different, but the result was the same as he wanted. Sun Ce withdrew.
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, is our [Lingyun Palace] a fateful offense, fighting all day long..."Wu Junxuan lay directly on the city wall, and he didn't want the image he had been emphasizing all the time.
"Yes..."Ye Xiaowen and the others also felt a lot of emotion, and Jiang Zhuo was even more so.
When he was first reborn, he just wanted to make money to cure Jiang Yao, but now that the money and experts are in place, and Jiang Yao has also started to treat, he has lost his life purpose. It's only recently that I have recognized my heart, and I want to lay a good foundation and let Leng Rou be the boss.
Leng Rou's family background is not ordinary, and if she doesn't make some achievements, it will not be easy to pass her family's level.
So Jiang Zhuo has been persevering, and he is tired of persevering.
The army of NPCs began to clean up the aftermath, and the players of [Lingyun Palace] rested and finished up. Not to mention anything else, the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army was captured by them more than 40,000 people this time.
Jiang Zhuo spent more than 4,000 gold coins to send them all to Changsha County, and now the auction is still in full swing. When this money is returned to the hands of [Lingyun Palace], then [Lingyun Palace] can kill Hua Xin just by smashing it with money.
After another two days, the whole server became nervous again.
The Battle of Red Cliff is obviously a super war event, and the number of players involved will probably exceed 50 million. Jiang Zhuo now has no official position and has temporarily lost the camp system.
So these 50 million players went to vassal Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Ce. Sun Ce had already agreed to go north to attack Xuzhou, and compared to Jiang Zhuo, his task was easier, and he had no reason to refuse.
After all, Xuzhou is thousands of miles away from the main battlefield, and after Jiang Zhuo finished fighting Huaxin, he is afraid that he will start to face Cao Cao's troops. And Hua Xin is not easy to fight, Sun Ce knows that Tai Shici is powerful.
It's just that the war hasn't started yet, and a piece of news shocked the whole server.
Tai Shi Ci, rebel!
Last time Jiang Zhuo returned Tai Shici's old mother to him, Tai Shici owed Jiang Zhuo a favor. And recently, Tai Shi Ci's old master Kong Rong was cut down by Cao Cao, how could Tai Shi Ci still follow Cao Cao to do things?
Therefore, the legacy of Liu Xuan, which was once coveted by countless people, except for Hua Xin and some of his unknown henchmen, directly defected to Jiang Zhuo. However, Tai Shici was reluctant to do anything to Hua Xin, after all, he still had the intention of being a colleague.
Jiang Zhuo was not reluctant to be too merciful, and sent Gan Ning over to take over the soldiers and horses, and at the same time sent troops out of Linhai to deter Hua Xin in Danyang County.
The connection between Hua Xin and Cao Cao was cut off at once, Jiang Zhuo in the south, Gan Ning in the west, and Sun Ce's forces in the east and north, and they fell into a panic all of a sudden.
Lu Xun took advantage of this opportunity and begged Jiang Zhuo to go back. Jiang Zhuo couldn't resist him, so he could only agree.
The day after Lu Xun quietly returned to Danyang County, there was a mutiny in Huaxin's army. Lu Kang's cronies, who were relatively hidden in the army, launched a rebellion and fought with the soldiers and horses controlled by Hua Xin.
Jiang Zhuo took the opportunity to let Chen Gong lead the army to advance and defeated Hua Xin in one go. Hua Xin fled in panic with only two or three thousand remnants of the army, and the atmosphere in Yangzhou became strange again.
It had only been five days since the alliance between Jiang and Sun and Liu was established, and Cao Cao had just captured Xinye and Fancheng, and confronted Liu Bei on the Han River. Sun Ce had just left Guangling County and started a confrontation with Zang Ba's soldiers and horses, and Jiang Zhuo had already completed his task.
Not only that, Jiang Zhuo obtained a king-level, several civil ministers and general generals almost without a single soldier, and nearly 30,000 troops. Even Lujiang County and Danyang County also fell into the hands of [Lingyun Palace].
