Tongtian River, north bank.

The huge sails of the battleship covered the sky and the sun, countless ships and small ships were clustered around, and tens of thousands of ships were spread out in the waves, spreading for dozens of miles.

On the bank of the river, countless Shu troops boarded the battleship like ants, and a large amount of ordnance and materials were continuously transported to the huge battleship.

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Zilong, facing the strong wind, stood one after the other on the bow of a two-hundred-meter-long dragon roar giant ship, their deep and sharp gaze as if penetrating time and space, looking towards the south shore.

"Wen Xiang, this big flood, I'm afraid it's a little too much. ”

Zhao Zilong's eyes showed a trace of unbearability, and he hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Tens of millions of soldiers in the rebel army died under the flood, and tens of millions of people in the southern and central counties were displaced. ”

Zhuge Liang turned his head and glanced at Zhao Zilong lightly, Zhao Zilong only found that there was a strand of white hair added to Lord Wenxiang's sideburns at this time, and there was a little helplessness in the wise eyes that were originally in the world.

"This flood has destroyed countless living beings, and the original appearance has long been expected, but the original appearance has to be done!"

Zhuge Liang sighed slightly: "If this is not the case, the rebellion in Southern Xinjiang continues, and the number of people who die in this war will not be more than this number!"

"Long-term pain is better than short-term pain, and we can end the war as soon as possible in order to truly bring peace and stability to southern Xinjiang. ”

Zhao Zilong was silent, there is no point in war, right or wrong, it just depends on the position of each person. The people of Southern Xinjiang see Zhuge Wenxianggu as cruel and unreasonable, and Lord Wenxiang doesn't think that I am inferior to hell, and who goes to hell.

For Lord Wen Xiang, he is focusing on the entire Dashu, for the stability of the world of Dashu, it is understandable to do so, if he does not quickly put down the rebel forces, it will only make the entire Shu country continue to be turbulent.

If the war continues, Dawu, as well as Dawei, who has already allied with Dashu, may take advantage of the situation, and then it will not be a matter of casualties among millions of Shu people, and it will even make Dashu, a land of hundreds of millions of miles, fall and hundreds of millions of subjects fall into a bloody storm.

Compared with the whole of Dashu, the governance of the people in the area of the Tongtian River is not so important.

Perhaps, this is the gap between himself and Wenxiang, he is a little soft-hearted.

"General Ma's 300,000 soldiers and horses, we just watched them be wiped out by the Standing Army?"

Zhao Zilong was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Even if the flood destroyed the millions of soldiers and horses of the anti-Shu army, but the price paid by the Shu army was also very great, the huge amount of materials was not counted, just Ma Zhong's 300,000 soldiers and horses bait, it was an unbearable loss, and the anti-Shu army fought fiercely for several years, and the casualties of the Shu army were only millions.

The plastic wind blew Zhuge Liang's cloth robe hunting, and there was no expression on his face at all.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang said lightly: "General Zilong, if you are a rebel, what will you do?"

Zhao Zilong didn't speak, of course he knew what would happen next.

The anti-Shu army suffered such a heavy blow, it will definitely pour all its anger on Ma Zhongbu, and the Shu army will send troops to the rescue, but they will be attacked by the anti-Shu army extremely fiercely, and the anti-Shu army will even use Ma Zhong as a bait to lure the Shu army to rescue.

Zhuge Liang's gaze looked to the south again, as if to say to Zhao Zilong, and as if he was talking to himself: "The Tongtian River offensive is fierce enough, and it is the only way to rescue Ma Zhong!"

Zhao Zilong was silent. Before the Shu army attacked, would the anti-Shu army leave the nail of Ma Zhong?

The various commanders and important generals of the anti-Shu army gathered together again at this time.

The faces of these true overlords of the southern frontier of Dashu were extremely gloomy, and the atmosphere above the hall was extremely solemn.

They all know that this big war, which has lasted for several years, is likely to reach the final stage.

As long as the Shu army's attack is defeated this time, it can at least bring peace to the anti-Shu army for several years or even more than ten years, and it is even possible to reach an agreement with Shu, and the two forces will rule across the river.

No matter how great the potential of Shu is, it is impossible to reorganize such an army in a short period of time.

If the anti-Shu army is defeated, everything will be closed, Zhuge Liang will never let them go, and the best result is to lead his cronies and subordinates to flee overseas.

Yonghong was the first to speak, he looked at Meng Shu, and said in a deep voice: "This time, the Shu army led the water of Nanhua Mountain, washed away our countless fertile fields, destroyed countless ordnance materials, and millions of soldiers died under the flood, and the losses of all armies were extremely heavy. ”

"The Shu army will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to launch a fierce offensive, and Yong hopes that everyone here can truly gather their strength and unite together to get a glimmer of hope in this big war. ”

Meng Huo, the eight-rank god general, faintly became the head of the anti-Shu army, and after Yonghong's words fell, Meng Huo said in a deep voice: "In this flood, the king suffered the most serious losses, millions of stone and rice grains were washed into the Tongtian River, and more than 300,000 warriors lost their lives.

He looked at everyone with a calm gaze: "The Shu army has gathered all its forces and is ready to launch an offensive from Yongzhou and Qizhou. ”

"According to the information obtained by this king, the Shu army has used more than four million troops, and there are countless weapons of all kinds, and this battle must be extremely difficult. I wonder how many troops you can use to contend with it?"

Meng Shu paused for a moment, and then said: "Wang Yan's 800,000 army is approaching the border of southern Xinjiang, my barbarian soldiers and horses, as well as the rear of the Changding army, are fighting with Wang Yan's army, it is difficult to mobilize troops from the rear, and the available soldiers now are only 500,000 elites and 800,000 recruits. ”

Zhang Jiao pondered for a while, and then said: "Our Yellow Turban Army has 36 sides, and the casualties in this flood are also extremely heavy, and now we can only dispatch 1.2 million soldiers and horses at most, but we still have to help you with rice and food. ”

These 1.2 million soldiers and horses, of course, are soldiers of a hundred battles, and they are by no means comparable to the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army that invaded Fenglai County at the beginning.

After fighting with the Shu army for so long, I don't know how many soldiers and horses died in the war, and those who survived have already become veterans of a hundred battles.

The Yellow Turban Army is basically from a bitter background, and in terms of material reserves, it is far inferior to the Southern Barbarian Army with a barbarian base camp, nor is it as good as the Tri-State Coalition Army, which is dominated by wealthy families.

This time suffered from the flood, a large number of Yellow Turban Army materials were destroyed, which was definitely an extremely heavy blow to the Yellow Turban Army, and it was also a loss that Zhang Jiao was a peak soldier with incomparably tenacity.

Yonghong and others successively stated that the three-state coalition army could send a total of 3 million soldiers and horses, and in addition, if it was an emergency conscription, it could also recruit about 2 million new soldiers. But everyone knows that these recruits can only transport supplies or something, and they can't be relied on to go to the battlefield.

Seeing everyone's eyes fall on him, Chu He's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "Although our Changding army was under the flood, the casualties were not too great, but there were also a lot of materials destroyed. ”

"There are not many soldiers and horses under Chu's command, and now there are only 80,000 available soldiers, and another 50,000 soldiers and horses can be mobilized from Tianshui County. ”

Chu He didn't make any trouble with this number, although the Changding Army had a lot of reserve troops, but the plate was also large, and it was already the limit to be able to mobilize 130,000 soldiers and horses, and any more would shake the foundation of Tianshui County.

The soldiers and horses taken out by the major anti-Shu forces add up to more than 5.6 million, which has surpassed the Shu army.

But everyone is clear that this number, the water is estimated to be not small, many are recruits with low combat effectiveness, and there is a lack of integration between the various armies, the quality of soldiers is far from being compared with the Shu army, the gap between armor and ordnance is very large, and in the face of the all-out attack of the Shu army, there is no certainty that it can withstand it.

Meng Shu waited for Chu He to finish speaking, and nodded slightly: "The soldiers and horses under Chu Shuai's command are all elite and strong troops, and their combat power is extremely strong, which plays an extremely important role in our resistance to the Shu army. ”

"However, this time our anti-Shu army has suffered great losses in armor, I wonder if Chu Shuai can support some armor weapons from various armies?"

Zhang Jiao and the others looked at Chu He with different expressions, and no one would despise Chu He because he reported this number.

They are all clear about the combat power of the Changding Army, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can even be compared with their more than one million soldiers and horses, not to mention that there is an incomparably terrifying scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry in the Chu River!

Those who were washed into the Tongtian River by the flood were all front-line troops, of course, they were fully armoured, and their casualties also meant a large number of losses in the anti-Shu army.

If there is not enough armor, or not enough sharp armor, even if the anti-Shu army forcibly recruits a large number of people to the battlefield, it will be difficult to help the overall situation.

Chu He didn't do anything at this juncture, so he nodded and said, "Chu can take out up to 10,000 sets of armor and share them with you." In addition, the more than 200,000 Shu troops in the Hulu Valley are all well-armoured, and how to deal with them, Ben Shuai will not participate in them. ”

Zhang Jiao, the sect leader of the Yellow Turban Army, said fiercely with a gloomy face: "Ma Zhongbu will be handed over to this father!"

Among the people present, the one who hated the Shu army the most was Zhang Jiao.

In the previous life, hundreds of millions of Yellow Turban soldiers and believers were defeated by Lu Zhi and others, Zhang Jiao disappeared, and his two younger brothers were completely destroyed.

In this life, he finally accumulated the strength to fight for the world again, but he couldn't imagine that the accumulation of a long time was destroyed by Zhuge Liang's flood, so how could he grit his teeth without hate!

On Ma Zhong's side, he definitely carried a large amount of supplies, and the armor mounts of more than 200,000 horses alone were an astronomical amount, which could greatly make up for the losses of the Yellow Turban Army.

As long as Ma Zhong has not really fallen into despair, he will never destroy all kinds of materials of the army, and how much materials he can get from Ma Zhong's department at that time depends on the means of everyone.

Yonghong's eyes flashed coldly, and he snorted and said: "Sect Leader Zhang, your appetite is too great! Since Chu Shuai gave up Ma Zhong's troops, Yong felt that it was better to fight together, destroy Ma Zhong's soldiers and horses as soon as possible, and divide the obtained materials equally!"

Zhu Bao, the former minister of Shu and the current commander of the Yuezhou Army, also nodded and said: "The barbarian king and the sect leader Zhang have lost a lot of materials, and the rice and grain of Ma Zhong's department can all be owned by the Yellow Turban Army and the Southern Barbarian Army, but the soldiers and armor are all lacking, and they can't all be obtained by the Yellow Turban Army." ”

Although the armor of the Shu army cannot be compared with the Changding army, it is far superior to the anti-Shu army, especially the Ma Zhongbu In order to attract the Changding army, the equipment is extremely sophisticated, and there are many ironclad iron soldiers, more than 200,000 or 300,000 equipment, which naturally makes Sanzhou reluctant to let go.

Zhang Jiao did not give Gao Ding and Zhu Bao any face: "Under the flood, General Yong's Yizhou Army and General Gao's Yuezhou Army suffered the least losses.

Yonghong and Zhu Bao's faces changed, and they were about to speak, when Meng Shu suddenly snorted heavily: "What time is it now!"

"If you are still intriguing like this, this king might as well go home separately and wait for Zhuge Liang to come to the door to get me and others!"

Gao Ding also nodded and said: "The barbarian king is extremely right! Only if we work together can we have the possibility of fighting the Shu army!"

"Gao thinks that it is too early to discuss the distribution of materials and armor of Ma Zhong's department now, lest Ma Zhong know that his vitality is cut off and self-destruct the materials, Gao thinks that we should annihilate Ma Zhongbu in one fell swoop with the momentum of thunder as soon as possible!"

can become the leader of the anti-Shu army, everyone does not understand the current situation, seeing Gao Ding say this, Zhang Jiao and Yonghong and others did not say much, just snorted.

Chu He suddenly said: "Chu doesn't see it as good as this, if you capture Ma Zhongbu, the rice grain can go to Sect Leader Zhang, the soldiers and armor will be divided into three, the Yellow Turban Army and the Southern Barbarian Army will each get one, and General Yong, you can also get one." ”

"In addition, if you can come up with enough rice and grain, Chu can give up another 20,000 sets of steel armor!"

Chu River is the most special position among the people, the daughter of the Southern Barbarian King, the holy daughter of the Yellow Turban Army, all married Chu He, it can be said that because of the relationship between the Chu River, the Yellow Turban Army, the Southern Barbarian Army and the Changding Army have faintly become a formation, and the Sanzhou Coalition Army is another formation.

No one would ignore Chu He's words.

The strong strength of the Changding Army, the strength of Chu He's own power comparable to the Eight Grades, and the help of the three gods of war under his command, it can be said that if the anti-Shu army is defeated, it is definitely the Changding Army that is most likely to save his life and strength.

If Chang Dingjun feels that the situation is not good, he can even take 100,000 soldiers and horses and relatives to quickly escape overseas and occupy a large island and establish himself as king.

The Standing Army can also quickly move to the land of Panyue Shan, and with the strength of the Standing Army, it is easy to find a foothold between these small countries in the Western Regions.

Chu He, who has a way out, naturally speaks more heavily, if anyone makes Chu He unhappy, people will stop playing, turn around and run, and Yonghong and others will be tragic.

Yonghong pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slightly and said, "Chu Shuai's distribution is also reasonable. ”

He paused slightly: "It's just that Yong has something to understand, and I hope Chu Shuai will clear up his doubts." ”

"General Yong, please speak. Chu He said indifferently.

Yonghong looked at Chu He deeply: "Previously, Chu Shuai said that he could only take out 10,000 sets of steel soldiers, but now he said that as long as we provide enough rice and grain, we can give up another 20,000 steel armor, dare to ask where the steel armor comes from? Chu Shuai's Tianshui County only has a few million Dingkou, why do you need such a huge amount of rice and grain?"
