Chapter 47: Sending Troops
"Recently, Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde have fled Luoyang one after another, and Prime Minister Dong Cheng is worried that there will be changes, which is one of the reasons why he is willing to canonize you as the assassin of Yangzhou." Jia Xu continued.
Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that it would not take long for Cao Cao to make an edict and call on the princes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo in the name of the Son of Heaven.
Dong Zhuo probably also noticed some clues, and at this time, canonizing Wang Xuan as the assassin of Yangzhou was not only a kind of wooing, but also to delay Wang Xuan's actions.
Seeing that the good fat of Yangzhou Nine Counties was in front of him, did Wang Xuan swallow this piece of fat, or did he go to fight Dong Zhuo?
As long as Wang Xuan chooses the former, after he annexes the nine counties of Yangzhou, Dong Zhuo may have defeated the coalition army of the Kwantung princes, swept through the Central Plains, and drank the Yangtze River!
If it really comes to that point, even if Wang Xuan occupies the entire Yangzhou, he will be crushed by Dong Zhuo with the power of most of the world!
He didn't doubt that Dong Zhuo could do this, after all, history had changed, Dong Zhuo had established contact with the ghosts and immortals of another world, and there were qi practitioners under his command, and there might even be demons and monsters to help, and his strength was extraordinary.
Wang Xuan calmed down the shock in his heart, and said with great gratitude: "Wen He's willingness to tell me this is really a great kindness. I have just been named the assassin of Yangzhou by the imperial court, and there is still a lack of a soldier to engage in, I don't know if Wen He is willing to deign to take office? ”
Jia Xu, as Dong Zhuo's subordinate, deliberately told Wang Xuan this, which is very interesting.
Wang Xuan is not stupid, he has long realized that Jia Xu wants to change jobs! didn't need him to dig into the corner, Jia Xu sent it to the door with information himself, and he naturally didn't hesitate to promise an official position.
"Hyoso?" Jia Xu hurriedly bowed down and was happy to take over this official position.
Bing Cao was originally a subordinate official of the state pastor, the main military, and now there is no state pastor in Yangzhou, Wang Xuan, the assassin of the history, also snatched the subordinate officials of the state pastor and used it to recruit Jia Xu, which is definitely a bloody investment.
Even if Jia Xu thought that Wang Xuan would not treat him badly, he never expected that Wang Xuan would use him so much, making him feel flattered.
Jia Xu used to play under Dong Zhuo, but he was not valued by Dong Zhuo, and just asked him to assist Niu Fu. What's more, with Dong Zhuo's relationship with the ghosts and immortals in another world, Dong Zhuo's subordinates have been rampant with demons and monsters, which makes Jia Xu worried, thinking that Dong Zhuo will be harmed by ghosts sooner or later, so he found an errand in advance and left Luoyang.
As for the fact that there are so many princes in the world, why did Jia Xu choose to defect to Wang Xuan?
Jia Xu had already embarked on the path of cultivating immortals and cultivating qi, so he naturally wanted to go further on this path. Looking at the whole world, now in addition to Dong Zhuo's territory, only Wang Xuan has an aura here, guarding the world of mountains and seas to practice, Jia Xu has no other choice but to come to Wang Xuan.
In the next few days, Wang Xuan first sent an order to all counties in Yangzhou, announcing that he was going to take up the post of assassin of Yangzhou, and then crossed the river to the north with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then gathered 20,000 soldiers from Lujiang County, a total of more than 30,000 people, and went straight to Shouchun.
Shouchun County, this is the state seat of Yangzhou, Wang Xuan, as the new Yangzhou assassin, should go there to take office, and he will pass through Huainan County along the way.
If anyone dares to prevent him from going to work, it is disobeying the will of the Son of Heaven and rebelling, and Wang Xuan should lead his troops to attack him.
During this time, he discussed with Jia Xu and Lu Su, and felt that among the nine counties of Yangzhou, they first seized Shouchun and Huainan counties, all of which were in danger of the Huaihe River, and rejected the princes of the Central Plains in the north.
Then cross the Huai River to the north and go to the princes of the Jujube Alliance.
As for the remaining five counties, they were not in a hurry to seize them for the time being, so as not to delay time and not have time to support the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes.
On this expedition, Wang Xuan left Zhang Fei and Xu Chu to guard the cracks in the space, and even the three hundred Xuanjia elite soldiers also stayed.
Lu Su did not follow, but was left in Lujiang County by Wang Xuan, sitting in the rear with Wen Ping, and at the same time guarding against Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Yuan Shu in Nanyang to sneak attack their lair.
The east is also not stable, Wu County and Huiji County are all plastered places, with a large population, strong soldiers and horses, knowing that Wang Xuan will do something to them sooner or later, if they are not willing to take the initiative to give up power, the two sides will have a war sooner or later. In this case, who knows if they will strike first and take risks?
Therefore, Zhou Cang, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai were also sent out by Wang Xuan to guard the eastern border.
Wang Xuan's subordinates had many military generals, and this time he went on the Northern Expedition, he took Jia Xu as the military advisor and worshiped as the mastermind; There are also generals such as Huang Zhong, Zhou Yu, and Sun Ce, which are enough to use when facing ordinary enemies.
If they meet the monks under Dong Zhuo, they are not afraid, and there is a big master like Zuo Ci in the army.
Not only that, but after such a long time, Wang Xuan has been cultivating every day, and his own strength is no longer what it used to be.
He opened the system panel and glanced at it, and the changes were as follows:
Name: Xuan Wang
Physical: 22.7
Soul: 6.5
True Qi: 11.8
Cultivation for the realm: the fifth layer of physical training [martial arts] the third layer of qi training [immortal dao]
Skill: Daomen Physical Training Lv.1
Daomen breathing and breathing method: lv.1
Daomen Concept: Lv.1
Qi Vision: Lv2
Base Casting: Lv.2
Taming the Beast: Lv.2
Energy value: 37
His current martial arts cultivation has reached the fifth level of body refining, his physical strength is more than twenty times that of ordinary adult men, and his speed is nearly ten times faster than that of ordinary adult men, and his stamina, nervous reflexes, and defense have all increased significantly, he is simply a humanoid beast!
What's more, he is still a fellow practitioner of immortal martial arts, and the immortal path has also reached the third level of qi training, and under the blessing of true qi, his strength is close to that of a fierce man at the eighth level of body training, which is not much weaker than Zuo Ci.
Zuo Ci has a deep understanding of this. Zuo Ci originally thought that he was a genius, but since he obtained the method of cultivating immortals, his cultivation has been a long way. But now compared to Wang Xuan, he is simply a younger brother!
It didn't take long for them to enter Huainan County. But wherever they passed, the city was closed, and the local defenders regarded them as enemies.
"Is Huainan Taishou ready to be my enemy? Who gave him the guts? Wang Xuan snorted coldly, and his heart was murderous.
Jia Xu said: "I don't believe that the lord can't guess, this is mostly Yuan Shu playing ghosts." Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang County and wanted to take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou, but was stopped by Liu Biao, so he could only turn his attention to other places. Yuzhou has been ruined by the Yellow Turban bandits, and it is not difficult to take it down, if Yuan Shu occupies Yuzhou, further east are Huainan and Shouchun counties! ”
Whether it is Huainan County or Shouchun County, it is a place of ointment, the land of fish and rice, and Yuan Shu was called the emperor in Shouchun County in the original history. Now in this time and space, Yuan Shu is still fighting the idea of Huainan County and Shouchun County, using the influence of the Yuan family's connections to make Huainan Taishou stubbornly resist to the end, and try to delay Wang Xuan's progress.
