Chapter Eighty-Seven: Dong Zhuo's Southern Expedition

In the following time, Wang Xuan personally led the men and horses to encircle and suppress Shanyue.

In the original history, Shanyue caused great trouble to Soochow, and Soochow put a lot of energy into encircling and suppressing Shanyue, so that it missed the best time for expansion.

However, in this time and space, those Shanyue alien races did not have the opportunity to cultivate, and under the encirclement and suppression of Wang Xuan with elite soldiers, they were quickly subdued, moved out of the mountains and forests, organized the households, and honestly farmed and paid taxes from now on.

Wang Xuan also harvested some spirituality because of this, but it was far less than the harvest of killing those Yin soldiers.

Killing a Yin soldier, Wang Xuan can gain 5 points of spirituality. And killing a Shanyue soldier can only harvest 0.1 spirituality.

Even so, Wang Xuan still harvested thousands of spiritual points, spending 600 points of spirituality to strengthen his martial arts cultivation to the sixth layer of true martial arts, and spending another 200 points of spirituality to strengthen his immortal cultivation to the second level of refining gods.

After doing this, he completely consolidated his rule over Yangzhou, and trained 150,000 soldiers and 10,000 cavalry.

As for the elite soldiers, they still have not recovered, and all the elite soldiers in Yangzhou add up to about 4,000.

You must know that before he went west to Jingzhou, all the elite soldiers in Yangzhou added up to 5,000!

Wang Xuan also wanted to delay for a while and train more elite soldiers, but Dong Zhuo didn't give him a chance at all.

He came to the front line to report that Lu Bu had completely defeated Youzhou and Bingzhou, and the two princes of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fled to Mahan with the remnants of the defeated army, which was the stick country of later generations.

The Central Plains has long been occupied by Dong Zhuo, and now after Dong Zhuo gathered Lu Bu's Northern Expedition troops, he combined 830,000 troops, known as a million army, and officially began the southern expedition!

When the news came, the world was in an uproar, and even Yangzhou was panicked.

After all, the army of millions is quite bluffing.

Wang Xuan called his advisers and generals and said to them: "I have already arranged for the fine work in Dong Zhuo's army, and according to the news from the fine work, although the Dong thief claims to be a million army, it is actually only 830,000 people. ”

"Among these 830,000 people, there are also many civilians, and the troops that can really be used to fight are about 400,000 people."

After hearing this information, everyone was relieved.

Yangzhou now has an army of 150,000, and it is necessary to transfer part of the army to suppress the counties, and at most it can take out 100,000 horses to confront Dong Zhuo.

If Dong Zhuo only had 400,000 troops, they would still have a great chance to repel the enemy's attack with the help of the Yangtze River.

"Lord, don't worry, if it is a fight on the Yangtze River, even if Lu Bu comes, I am not afraid!" Little Overlord Sun Ce said with a big grin. This kid's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and now he has also broken through to the eighth layer of body refining, and his strength is strong, so it is inevitable that he will expand a little.

Zhang Fei also said with a disapprehensive face: "Bo Fu, you kid is too much of a chicken thief, I heard that Lu Bu is a landlubber, you actually want to face him on the Yangtze River!" Everyone in the world knows that Lu Bu is brave, but I, Zhang Fei, are not convinced. When Lu Bu comes, I will have a fair duel with him one-on-one on land! ”

Before the western expedition to Jingzhou, Zhang Fei had already broken through to the eighth layer of body refining, and now that three or four months had passed, Zhang Fei naturally would not stop his cultivation. He had already broken through to the tenth layer of body refining, and he was before the bottleneck of the next great realm. If Lu Bu didn't break through, he might really be on par with Lu Bu.

"Why are you all staring at Lu Bu? Don't be too happy, it's not those Dong Zhuo thieves who are really difficult, but the Yin soldiers from another world! Wang Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said, "As far as I know, this time the Black Sky Archmage sent 1,800 Yin soldiers to help Dong Zhuo deal with us!" ”

When it came to Yin Bing, Zhang Fei and Sun Ce both honestly closed their mouths. Because the strength of the Yin soldiers is too strong, they are all old ghosts who have existed in the Liaozhai world for one or two hundred years, and any one of them has a strength comparable to the eighth layer of body refining, not weaker than Sun Ce. Even if it is Zhang Fei, he will deal with three or four Yin soldiers at most, and no matter how much he has, he will not be able to hold it.

What's more, the Yin soldiers have no entity, so naturally there is no weight at all, and they are also walking on the ground on the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River natural danger is not a disadvantage for them at all, but a great advantage.

At this time, it is still those strategists and wise generals who can really give advice to Wang Xuan, and Zhang Fei, a big old man, should go to the side and play in the mud.

"My lord, Dong Zhuo is now marching south, and he will definitely attack Jingzhou first, collect the ships in Jingzhou, recruit Jing's sailors, and then come down the river to attack us. Of course, there will definitely be enemies coming from Xuzhou, directly attacking Jiangdong and threatening Danyang County, and most of the Yin soldiers will be concentrated on this road. Jia Xu said eloquently: "You can send a general to Jiangxia to take advantage of the advantage of the sailor to deal with the enemy, while you personally lead an army to confront the enemy in Xuzhou." ”

When Wang Xuan heard it, isn't this similar to Cao Cao's southern expedition in the original history?

In history, the blue-eyed son and grandson Quan led an army to confront the Cao army in Hefei, while Zhou Yu led the elite troops of Jiangdong to face off against Cao Cao's main force and fought at the mouth of the three rivers in Jiangxia.

"Do you want to let Zhou Yu take command and let him go against Dong Zhuo's army?" A strange thought appeared in Wang Xuan's heart.

Zhou Yu has also been mixed under Wang Xuan for two years, and now he is a sixteen-year-old boy. Because of his cultivation, his brain has been developed to a certain extent, and his current strategy and ability to command troops are no worse than the Battle of Chibi in the original history. He has performed many miraculous feats in previous wars, especially in commanding sailors. The 1,000 Tianhe Elite Soldiers and Sailors trained by Wang Xuan were temporarily handed over to Zhou Yu's command.

However, Wang Xuan instantly dispelled this idea and asked a sixteen-year-old boy to command the battle, even if Wang Xuan was willing, those generals under him would definitely not be convinced.

For example, Zhang Fei, if you ask him to obey the orders of sixteen-year-old Zhou Yu, it is strange that Zhang Fei is willing to agree.

As a king, Wang Xuan still has to try his best to have a bowl of water evenly, reward and punish him, so as not to make other subordinates feel cold.

It's just that......

"In terms of seniority, no one can compare to Zhang Fei. If Zhang Fei is put in charge, it feels cold sooner or later. ”

"That's it, let's take one step at a time."

Jia Xu's speculation soon became a reality, and Dong Zhuo took Lu Bu and other Xiliang generals to lead 300,000 troops to attack Jingzhou. At the same time, Xu Rong led 100,000 Qingzhou soldiers and Xuzhou soldiers to the south, attacked Jiujiang County, and went straight to Danyang County, the center of Wang Xuan's power.
