298 The Storm Rises (2-in-1 Chapter)
I don't know if it was because of desire or fear, but the princes of all walks of life acted quickly.
From the moment Dong Zhuo's news was delivered to them, the small actions of the princes from all walks of life had already been put in place.
I have to say that for Lu Haikong, these guys are surprisingly cautious, although they have decided to make a move on Lu Haikong, they did not make a big move at the beginning, but first use small actions to test the way!
As a result, in the next few days, all kinds of troubles found land, sea and air in different forms.
For example, things like detaining caravans to the three states of Si and Youyou with various interfaces, such as cavalry circling outside the territory of land, sea and air.
The temptations at the beginning were quite slight, and the princes of all walks of life didn't even dare to go too far, it was completely the most intimate temptation.
However, although the temptations of the princes from all walks of life were already quite cautious, and all kinds of actions even made enough excuses, and they were ready to withdraw if the land, sea and air were angry.
However, what they didn't expect was that the reaction on the side of Lu Haikong was far more intense than they expected, and as soon as Lu Haikong found out that the various small actions of the princes were immediately suppressed by thunderous means.
And he didn't give any chance to explain to the princes of all walks of life, just like before Luhaikong, even more domineering than before!
Lu Haikong's hand is indeed quite effective, at the beginning of Lu Haikong's thunder means came out, it really scared the princes from all walks of life, after all, the previous Lu Haikong was too powerful and too terrifying, so that as soon as Lu Haikong's thunder means came out, the domineering attitude directly made many princes coaxed, and their hearts retreated.
However, in the end, the princes of all walks of life did not retreat in the real sense, and there was a quick turnaround in this matter.
After all, at this time, the Three Kingdoms were already the Three Kingdoms after the princes fought against Dong, and the princes from all walks of life had grown up, and no matter how poor they were, there were some outstanding strategists under their command.
With the help of those outstanding strategists, the princes from all walks of life soon discovered that the thunder methods of the land, sea and air seemed to be a little thunderous and rainy compared to before, and even a little lack of confidence in it, which seemed to be a complete bluff.
As soon as this one is discovered by the princes, will it be repaid?
Why is Lu, Haikong bluffing at this time? Everyone knows that at this time, the princes of all walks of life are actually a group of wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards, and Lu Haikong is the injured hunter.
The more he bluffs at this time, the more confident he proves that the land, sea and air are more lacking!
And at this moment, the short side of the land and sea air has been seen through, and of course the princes from all walks of life will not be soft, and all kinds of actions are more ferocious.
At the beginning, the small actions of the princes from all walks of life made some excuses, and in the end, they didn't even find any excuses, and directly took a strong move, not only detaining the caravan of the division and the three states, but even occasionally attacking the ore veins and other resource points under the command of the land, sea and air.
And the most radical of them is Dong Zhuo, this guy even directly robbed Lu Haikong of more than a dozen markets and resource points dozens of miles outside Luoyang City.
The rest of the princes are not idle, and these guys are all pressing on the landing sea and air step by step.
Almost everyone planned to take this opportunity to bite Lu Haikong fiercely, or even swallow Lu Haikong directly.
Under the various small actions of the princes of all sides, in just ten days or so, the land, sea and air side could not hold it at all, and the strength he showed at the beginning was completely torn apart, and the fragile side began to be completely revealed.
In this case, Lu Haikong also seemed to know that the situation was already quite unfavorable for him, so this guy had to take other measures at this time.
So, in September 194, a month after Lu Haikong expelled Qin Shi Huang, Lu Haikong 'had to' write to all the princes.
Maybe it's really the end of the road, at this time, in the letter from Lu Haikong to the princes of all walks of life, the tone is unprecedentedly soft, and even in the eyes of the princes of all walks of life, Lu Haikong at this moment still has a little pleading in it.
Seeing the letter from the land, sea and air, many princes laughed.
After all, these guys have been pressed by the land, sea and air for too long, and at this time, seeing the land and sea air suit soft, their hearts are not to mention how comfortable they are.
Of course, these princes didn't dare to be too complacent, after all, in addition to these pitiful emotions in the letter of Lu Haikong, that letter actually hid the soft and hard side of the landing Hai and Air.
Especially the last sentence in Lu Haikong's heart, 'For the sake of the world and the people, you can meet with this king under Luoyang City on October 15!' ’
When he saw this, he made the princes of all walks of life silent for a while!
At first glance, there seems to be no problem with this sentence, but if you look carefully, you will see that Lu Haikong has put a lot of emphasis on the eight words 'for the world and for the people'.
And there is an amazing killing intent in the pen, although Lu Haikong seems to be at the end of the road at this time, but there is still a fear of the princes of Lu, Haikong and Air, so when they saw this letter, almost all the princes began to convene their henchmen to discuss.
Three Kingdoms World, Yanzhou, Cao Cao's Mansion!
Speaking of which, Cao Cao is one of the princes from all walks of life who has performed more specially recently.
On the one hand, Cao Cao is more suspicious by nature, and has been suppressed by land, sea and air for a long time, and Cao Cao's vigilance against Lu Haikong has been invisibly higher than a few grades.
In addition to being cautious and suspicious, there is also a very important reason that in fact, Cao Cao has never been very much in favor of the matter of attacking the land, sea and air.
Cao Cao is a rather contradictory person, on the one hand, he is the self, and being able to say, 'I'd rather bear the world's people than the world's people' is not an ordinary self.
But in addition to himself, Cao Cao actually has blood in his heart.
He was embarrassed, and he was not very willing to make a move on Lu Haikong at this time, after all, from a certain point of view, Lu Haikong also ended up in such a field for the sake of the entire Three Kingdoms World.
Of course, if the two reasons are put together, the latter reason is actually nothing, after all, although Cao Cao does not want to make a move on Lu Haikong, who is now a hero of the people (harmony), he also knows very well that this may be his only chance to turn over.
In the face of this kind of opportunity, Cao Cao can suppress all the enthusiasm and sensibility.
Therefore, Cao Cao's restraint should be the most important thing to be suspicious, he never believed in his heart that Lu Haikong was beaten down by foreign demons, so his actions were quite restrained from beginning to end.
Of course, although he acted restrained, he was not without action, because he knew very well that at this time, it was no longer something he could oppose all the way to make a move against Lu Haikong, and when all the princes showed their fangs to Lu Haikong, Cao Cao only had two choices at this time, one was to shoot at Lu Haikong, and the other was to stand on Lu Haikong's side.
Among these two big choices, Cao Cao finally chose the former, so Lu Haikong did not forget him, and when Lu Haikong wrote letters to all the princes of the world, he also had a copy of Cao Cao.
So when the princes from all walks of life gathered their henchmen with letters from Lu, Haikong, Cao Cao was also doing the same thing!
It's just that compared to the excitement of the princes from all walks of life after getting the letter from Lu Haikong, the atmosphere on Cao Cao's side seemed much more solemn, not only the suspicious Cao Cao felt that this thing was weird, but even the strategists under his command were frowning at this time.
"I believe you have all read it, and everyone has understood the specific situation, tell me your opinion, will we go or not on October 15?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and Chen Qun under his command, and asked in a deep voice.
Cao Cao spoke, and the strategists under him were no longer silent, several people looked up at each other, and finally Cheng Yu took the lead in standing up.
However, Cheng Yu did not answer Cao Cao's question at this time, because in fact, everyone present knew in their hearts that they had no choice from the beginning if they went or not on October 15, and he was talking about another aspect of things at this time.
"Lord, during this period of time, I have been investigating the situation on King Jin's side, especially in the strength of the land, sea and air, and Yu has put a lot of effort into investigating!"
Hearing Cheng Yu talk about this, Cao Cao immediately became energetic, and his tiger eyes flashed and pointed at Cheng Yu: "What have you found!" ”
"Found huge!" When Cheng Yu said this, his face was a little dark, and he continued with a deep groan: "According to the information we have before, there are four front armies under the command of the army, navy and air force, each front army has 250,000 elites, and a total of 1 million standing troops, and his million standing army lost more than 800,000 in that battle, and there are only 100,000 soldiers left under his command!" ”
Cheng Yu seemed to say this, and the people present had no expression, after all, this was the information they had already mastered a long time ago.
At this moment, everyone looked at Cheng Yu waiting for his next step, and Cheng Yu didn't let them wait for a long time!
"If you look at this data alone, King Jin's side is indeed suffering a heavy loss, but in fact, we can and must ignore this data!
We all know very well that in addition to this million standing army under the command of the army, navy and air force, there are also two parts of soldiers and horses under the command, one is the county soldiers who guard the counties, and the other is the most elite soldiers under the command of the army, navy and air force!
Needless to say, the county soldiers under the command of King Jin are quite elite, and they will not even be inferior to our main army, and this part, if King Jin is concentrated, he can at least have hundreds of thousands of troops to use.
Of course, those hundreds of thousands of troops are actually nothing in front of all the princes in the world, but there are also elite legions under the command of King Jin, such as [Iron Blood] [Black Wind] The number of soldiers in these legions is not much, but each legion is a very powerful existence, and if used well, their role is even far more than 100,000 troops, and as far as I know, the elite legions under the command of King Jin do not seem to have suffered any heavy losses! ”
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao's brows suddenly furrowed, but he didn't wrinkle too deeply: "The elite army doesn't have to worry too much about this, in fact, all the princes have also made achievements in this aspect over the years, such as our tiger and leopard cavalry, Liu Bei's white guard, Dong Zhuo's black magic soldiers, etc., even if the elite army of land, sea and air is not wiped out, there is no need to be too jealous." ”
Cheng Yu continued: "That's true, but the real point is not here! The real focus was actually hidden by King Jin! ”
"In fact, these days, King Jin has been showing that the weak spirit of insufficient strength and lack of confidence is very likely to be pretended, in fact, in addition to the county soldiers and elite legions, King Jin also has a layer of strength.
Since a few years ago, King Jin has set up a lot of militia training camps in the two states, and in the past few years, the two states have not said that all the people are soldiers but they really want to mobilize, and the army of millions can be mobilized casually.
While this multimillion-strong army may not be elite, it's not your average rabble.
With millions of troops in hand, coupled with the various top generals under his command, it can be said that although King Jin was created by foreign demons, in fact, his background is still quite terrifying, far from being as weak as he appears.
And in this case, his behavior is obviously a show of weakness, so the question arises, what is the purpose of his show of weakness at this moment? ”
Cheng Yu's call shocked everyone present, and Cao Cao's brows furrowed deeply.
While everyone frowned, Xun Yu, who had been silent, spoke: "There are only two possibilities for showing weakness at this time, one is that he has indeed been hit hard by the extraterritorial demons, and it is even worse than we expected, so he doesn't want to fight."
He wanted to show his background on October 15, to deter the princes, so as to buy time to recuperate! ”
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in Cao Cao's mansion suddenly relaxed.
There is indeed this possibility, compared to the extraterritorial demons faced by Lu Haikong this time, it is too powerful, and it only took four days to destroy the millions of troops of Lu, Haikong and Air, and even Luoyang was about to collapse.
Combined with the intelligence on Dong Zhuo's side, Lu Haikong is very likely to be this plan at this moment.
However, Cao Cao's brows had just loosened for a while, and Xun Yu said again: "And in addition to that possibility, there is also a possibility that the reason why he shows weakness is to gather all the princes in the world together and solve them all at once!" ”
Xun Yu's tone was gentle, but his words were like thunder, directly blowing up everyone present.
In fact, not only Xun Yu's side, but almost at the same time, all the princes in the world also received similar answers.
These two possibilities were placed in front of the princes almost at the same time, but interestingly, everyone unanimously chose to believe in the first.
Because this is the only possibility they can believe in!
