Chapter 31: Decision

There are many factors that determine the strength of a force, such as geography, resources, talents, population, science and technology, and commerce, but it is undeniable that the most direct factor is the ability and courage of the power leader.

Zhuo Ao dared to attack Shuzhong with 30,000 water troops, in this regard, Xue Feiyu did not approve, at most he was just a gambler, and the weakness of the King of Shu as an opponent was also a key factor, Xue Feiyu did not expect that Shuzhong would fall so quickly.

It stands to reason that even if the king of Shu is not enterprising, but the road to Shu is difficult, with such a natural barrier, just to take the army to walk down in Shu, it will take a month of effort, Zhuo Ao sneak attack success, kill the king of Shu, but the entire people in Shu can not be because the king of Shu was killed to Zhuo Ao to bow down to the courtiers, no matter how you look at it, Zhuo Ao is impossible to pocket the entire Shu land in less than two months and still have the strength to attack Chang'an.

He brought a naval army, and he was not good at land warfare, not to mention that the number was only 30,000, and the total number of troops in Shuzhong was at least 200,000, which had to make Xue Feiyu suspect that Zhuo Ao had used means to seize his hands.

Just looking at the detailed information in his hand, Xue Feiyu was silent, unwilling to believe it, but he had to believe that Zhuo Ao had played a miracle in this battle to destroy Shu.

Zhuo Ao's means are actually not complicated, after he captured Chengdu, he had 30,000 Chengdu troops in his hands, which is not difficult to understand, Zhuo Ao was able to successfully capture the degree of surprise, taking advantage of the surprise, and did not leave too much time for the Shu army to react, the king of Shu has been captured, under the same conditions, any outstanding commander or even a general. It's not that hard to do.

But what is amazing is Zhuo Ao's next move. According to the mentality of ordinary people, no one dares to be in such a situation where they are facing enemies on all sides. If these surrenders are not good, if these surrenders turn against each other, it will have a great impact on themselves.

But Zhuo Ao, just used it, and successfully transformed these newly surrendered armies into his own forces, the method actually did not seem difficult in hindsight, first kill or imprison the generals in the original army, and then re-select new generals in the army. These people are often the kind of people who have talents in the past because of various relationships, but they have been squeezed by the descendants of the king of Shu or the big forces in Shu, but they have a good prestige in the army.

In any army, there are actually such people, even under the command of Zhuo Ao or Xue Feiyu, there are also such people.

For various reasons, these people don't have much sense of belonging to the King of Shu. Even faintly hateful, and Zhuo Ao gave them opportunities and status, naturally I was grateful to Zhuo Ao in my heart, and I also supported Zhuo Ao more wholeheartedly. They themselves have a certain influence in the Shu army, and they may know the situation of the Shu army more thoroughly than those generals. They were also quickly transformed into proud cronies.

The most difficult problem of the combat effectiveness and trust of the troops has been solved, and the next thing is naturally to conquer the city. And every time he goes to the next city, Zhuo Ao will leave a part of the 'veterans' behind. And the newly surrendered army was concocted according to the law.

In general, when Zhuo Ao hit Hanzhong, not only the entire area north of Shuzhong was re-washed, and it was labeled with its own, but it also obtained an army of more than 100,000 people, and directly went out of Wuguan, took Chang'an City in one fell swoop, and then transferred to Hangu Pass, until this time, the world did not react.

As one of the five heavenly monarchs of the Heavenly Court, Xue Feiyu is a very proud person, and this pride, after being sent to the human world, even began to develop towards conceit, but at this moment, looking at the information in his hand, after being silent for a long time, he had to sigh secretly in his heart.

Because he knew that if he changed places, he might not be able to do this......

However, after sighing, it was followed by unspeakable troubles, Bashu, Hanzhong, and Chang'an were suddenly taken away by Zhuo Ao, and there were more than 200,000 troops in plain form, which not only broke his sense of superiority all along, but also made him feel that the distance between the emperor and himself was gradually narrowing.

The throne of the world, especially the position of the founding emperor, in the eyes of the high-level of the heavenly court, is a good thing to enhance the strength, as long as you can stay on the throne of the founding emperor for ten years, with the help of the imperial dragon qi, it is enough to help yourself break through the bottleneck and enter a higher realm, which is also the usual means of cultivating masters in the heavenly court.

Who knew that when it was his turn, such a situation would occur, but he did not expect.

"General, what now?" The Fire God looked at Xue Feiyu and said worriedly.

"What should I do?" Xue Feiyu smiled bitterly: "Chang'an and Shuzhong have fallen into his hands, the situation is not good for us, scorching, you take two people to Luoyang, protect the King of Wei, the world is divided into three, Zhuo Ao has already won two, our side, there is no need to continue to divide into two parts, I want to master all the territory as soon as possible, so that it is possible to compete with Zhuo Ao." ”

Zhuo Ao took Chang'an, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, almost surrounded him and the territory of King Wei, in this situation, it is impossible to continue to stand on three legs, and the remaining resources must be integrated, so that it is possible to win a chance in the next world competition.

In this way, the importance of King Wei is highlighted, King Wei has no master around to protect him, Xue Feiyu is very worried, Zhuo Ao will attack this point, even if he does not use spells, King Wei is a mortal, it is too easy to kill him with Zhuo Ao's means.

And on the side of Taishan Mansion, you must be in charge by yourself, otherwise no one can deal with those two peerless commanders.

"Yes, my subordinates will go." The Scorching Fire God who was ordered nodded and quickly left with the other two Fire Gods.

Three days later, the fire fire and the other two fire gods came to Luoyang to meet the king of Wei, and seeing that the king of Wei was safe and sound, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, expressed their intention to the king of Wei, and secretly put forward Xue Feiyu's request for merger.

After smiling and arranging for the two to stay, King Wei sat in his palace, looking at the former palace scene, and sighed leisurely.

"Why is the master sighing?" A middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper stepped forward, helped King Wei change the tea, and looked at King Wei with a concerned face, King Wei at this moment looked as if he had aged more than ten years all of a sudden.

"There are some things you don't understand." Glancing at his housekeeper, King Wei smiled, the housekeeper's name is Xu Hai, and he has only been with him for four years, but King Wei is very relieved of him, as a confidant, because although Xu Hai has only followed him for four years, but as early as more than 20 years ago, the two have already known each other, Xu Hai has saved his life more than once, so for his housekeeper, King Wei is very relieved, but even so, there are some words, which cannot be said, this is not only related to his own net worth, but also related to his own good fortune in the next life, this secret, He is not ready to share it with anyone.

At the beginning, Xue Feiyu was able to persuade King Wei to secretly surrender to him, and what he used was the promise of wealth in the future ten generations, but unfortunately, even so, seeing that the foundation he had worked hard for was about to be handed over, there was still some discomfort in his heart.

Xu Hai bowed slightly and withdrew, this is also a point that King Wei values him, things that should not be asked, never ask more, such a person, if he is put in the officialdom, the future must be good, he is ready to introduce Xu Hai to Xue Feiyu after his abdication, and it can be regarded as the life-saving grace of the year.

Chang'an, the sunset at dusk sprinkled the last ray of gold for the world, the ancient city that has just experienced a war, bathed in the sunset at the moment, with a little depression and dilapidation, as the ancient capital of the six dynasties, it has witnessed the rise and fall of too many dynasties, the wheel of history is always accompanied by wars in the continuous turning, as if the eternal unchanged, the ancient capital of the six dynasties, is the glory of this city, and it is also its sorrow.

The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk, but unfortunately, such a beautiful scenery is only enjoyed by yourself.

Qilang came to the bottom of the city tower, looked at the lonely back on the city tower, and naturally couldn't understand the inexplicable emotions of the emperor in Zhuo Ao's heart at the moment, and walked up directly: "Lord." ”

"Got news?" Zhuo Ao turned his head and looked at Shichiro, the loneliness in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by an unfathomable feeling.

"Well, the people have arrived, and King Wei's mood today doesn't seem to be high." Shichiro nodded.

"If everyone's business is taken away like this, how can emotions be high?" Zhuo Ao sneered and shook his head: "Hero Chi Twilight, no matter how powerful a character is, when he gets old, he will always have a lot of scruples, and he will be more in awe of ghosts and gods." ”

"Won't Heavenly Court break its word?" Shichiro frowned.

"People are doing it, the sky is watching, being a god is not as easy as you think, especially this kind of thing related to the world, people like them, they follow their words, if they can't fulfill their promises, they will have cause and effect." Zhuo Ao smiled: "And some things, to ordinary people, seem unimaginable, but for the Heavenly Court to control the Three Realms, it is not as difficult as everyone imagined. ”

The blood clone is now in the underworld, although the strong people in the underworld are everywhere and it is not easy to develop, but some information Zhuo Ao can still get, at least much more than ordinary people know.

"Inform Shiro that the whole army is ready to fight, and prepare to send troops."

"Yes, lord, don't you have to tell the two marshals, Xu Da and Zhao Yun?" Shichiro wondered.

"They'll have their own judgment, and I don't have to worry about it." Zhuo Ao smiled: "Go and prepare, the time to unify the world has come." ”

"Yes." Hearing this, Shichiro's eyes flashed with excitement, and he turned around and strode away with a bang. (To be continued.) )
