Chapter Seventy-Seven: Layout of Jiangnan
Under Wang Xuan's gaze, several pieces of crimson metal floated out of thin air, levitating above the white fox's head.
The white fox, that is, Xin Shi Niang, took those few pieces of red refining yuan copper and returned to his room leisurely, preparing to sacrifice the flying sword.
Wang Xuan was a little curious, and he also picked up a few pieces of Red Refining Yuan Copper, released his spiritual mind to inspect it, and sure enough, he noticed the difference.
This Red Refining Yuan Copper not only contains extremely abundant spiritual energy, but more importantly, it can absorb people's divine consciousness and drive it with divine consciousness!
However, Wang Xuan now only has the eighth-level immortal Dao cultivation of Qi Cultivation, far from reaching the realm of Qi Refining and Transforming Gods, just manipulating those few pieces of Red Refining Yuan Copper to move a few meters of Yuan, there is a feeling of spiritual exhaustion, and the Red Refining Yuan Copper is also directly planted from mid-air.
"It seems that the two of us should honestly try to break through, and before the cultivation is not broken, don't think about refining the flying sword." Wang Xuan said to Zuo Ci with a wry smile.
He and Zuo Ci each divided a few pieces of red refining yuan copper, and all the remaining mountains and seas were transported to the craftsman's prison and handed over to the craftsmen to make armor and weapons.
Now that the concentration of aura near Wanling City is already considerable, Wang Xuan is ready to popularize martial arts cultivation techniques in the army, and when the time comes, with the armor and weapons forged by the mountains and seas, even if it is not as good as the elite soldiers, it will definitely be much stronger than ordinary soldiers and horses.
However, there is also a problem, that is, there are fewer and fewer alien beasts running over from the mountain and sea world, and they have entered the mountain and sea world again today to sweep again, don't think about having alien beast meat as a cultivation resource in the short term.
Most of the strange beasts within a safe distance of the mountain and sea world were plagued by them, and after a while, the strange beasts from other places came running over, and they were going in to harvest a wave.
Now those soldiers and horses in Danyang County are still honestly gnawing on the remaining grass, and then spitting out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, the speed may be a little slower, but it can be popularized on a large scale, and there is no need to worry about insufficient resources.
It has been more than two months since Wang Xuan returned to Danyang County, and during this time, Dong Zhuo has been rampant and domineering in the Central Plains, annexing Qingzhou and Yizhou, and driving Yuan Shao into Youzhou and Gongcun Station as a companion.
Wang Xuan estimated that in two months at most, Dong Zhuo would make a large-scale southern expedition, and there was not much time left for him.
"Zijing, Wu County and Huiji County have just fallen into our hands, so we must digest them as soon as possible and transform them into our own strength." Wang Xuan said to Lu Su.
Lu Su nodded yes.
During this period of time, not only Dong Zhuo was annexing the Central Plains, but Wang Xuan was not idle. On the one hand, he plundered the population from the Central Plains and recruited displaced people, and on the other hand, he sent reinforcements and completely brought Wu County and Danyang County under his control.
"Lord, today there is a document sent by Yuzhang Taishou, the other party has softened, and Yuzhang County went down without a fight." Lu Su said.
"Oh? And this kind of good thing? Wang Xuan was immediately happy when he heard this: "I was busy going to the mountain and sea world to search for resources today, and I really didn't see the other party's documents, you can show it to me." ”
Lu Su was obviously prepared, and took out a silk letter and handed it to Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan took the silk book and read it carefully, and suddenly understood in his heart.
It stands to reason that Yuzhang County is also a large county, which is larger than Jiangxi Province in later generations, and there are 30,000 soldiers and horses under Yuzhang Taishou, and the strength is not weak.
But it also depends on who it is compared with, Wang Xuan only sent a brigade of partial divisions, more than 1,000 elite soldiers plus more than 10,000 ordinary soldiers, and defeated Wu County and Huiji County in more than two months, which made Yu Zhang Taishou feel terrified, knowing that he would definitely not be able to stop Wang Xuan's soldiers.
In addition, Wang Xuan is the assassin of Yangzhou, and Yuzhang County is also a county under the rule of Yangzhou, so Wang Xuan is nominally the top boss of the other party, so Yuzhang Taishou is also half-pushed, and he is directly ready to hand over Yuzhang County and live under Wang Xuan.
At the end of the silk book, the Yuzhang Taishou also wrote in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "Now Dong Zhuo is harming the world, demons and monsters are rampant in the Central Plains, and the Son of Heaven is in trouble, only the prince can save the people from fire and water and recreate China!" ”
"Good guy, this is starting to slap my ass?" Wang Xuan couldn't laugh or cry.
However, the other party is willing to take the initiative to come to him, saving him some means, which can also save him a lot of time, and when he fights against Dong Zhuo in the future, he will have more self-protection power, and he will naturally not treat the other party badly.
"Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated, far less populated than the Central Plains. We want to fight against Dong Zhuo, and there are still several problems to solve. At this time, Jia Xu also said beside him.
As the mastermind under Wang Xuan, his wisdom and vision are better than Lu Su's. Maybe Zhou Yu can be compared with him in the future, but Zhou Yu is still too young now, a little immature, far inferior to Jia Xu.
"The northerners are good at horses, and the southerners are good at boats. If we want to fight against Dong Zhuo, JAC natural insurance is our only reliance! ”
"Let's talk about the Huai River defense line first, there are still two loopholes now. The eastern part of the Huai River is in the territory of Guangling County in Xuzhou, if we do not take Guangling County into our hands, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will use this as a breakthrough to break the Huai River defense line. ”
"As for the other loophole, it is Jingzhou to the west. Dong Zhuo can completely lay down Jingzhou first, go down the river, and bypass the Huai River natural danger. ”
"As for the natural danger of the Yangtze River, there is no big flaw, but we have sent a large number of sailors to defend the Huai River, and the strength of the sailors in the Yangtze River is naturally a little weaker, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist Dong Zhuo."
Wang Xuan also had a headache, although there was a big loophole in the Huaihe Heavenly Insurance, he couldn't give up.
In this era, half of Yangzhou's population was concentrated between the Huai River and the Yangtze River, if he gave up the Huai River and directly cut half of the population base under his rule, how could he still have the strength to compete with Dong Zhuo?
"Guangling County is easy to say, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian didn't say anything on his face, in fact, he was secretly looking for a way out for himself. Otherwise, we plundered so many people in Xuzhou during this time, and Tao Qian would have turned his face with us a long time ago. After Wang Xuan thought about it, he said: "Pass my order, with Zhou Yu and Sun Ce as generals, lead 500 elite soldiers of the Yue cavalry battalion and 3,000 armor soldiers to capture Guangling County." ”
"As for the flaws in the west, we took advantage of the fact that Dong Zhuo had not yet freed up his hands to march south, wave our troops westward, and defeat Jingzhou!"
Wang Xuan's plan was very simple, that is, to take the Huai River in its entirety, and according to the strategy of the Southern Song Dynasty, take the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River as the dividing line, cut off the southern kingdom, and resist the Central Plains.
"Is there going to be a war? It's so good that my Snake Spear is so hungry and thirsty! Zhang Fei couldn't help but rub his hands.
Last time, Wang Xuan went to participate in the princes' alliance and left Zhang Fei in Danyang County to take care of his family, which made Zhang Fei depressed.
He finally practiced a martial art, and when he was ready to become famous in the world, he naturally didn't want to miss any opportunity.
