"General, the Cai family is located in the ancestral land in Jiangxia City, and in the past few days, personnel and materials have been in and out, which is very abnormal!"

In the Jiangxia camp, Hu Che'er flew from afar and said to Zhang Jiyu.

The current Jiangxia battalion is headed by Hua Xiong as the main general and Zhang Ji as the deputy general, who is in charge of the military and political affairs of Jiangxia County.

Both of them were one of the twelve tiger generals under Dong Zhuo.

Among them, Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu is one of the top five masters in the army, and his strength even surpasses that of Huaxiong.

Li Ru had confessed before that he wanted to keep an eye on the Cai family's every move to prevent them from plotting and surrendering.

Since Dong Zhuo's army captured Xiangyang City and entered Jiangxia, the Jiangxia County family led by the Cai family soon surrendered the city.

After the surrender, although Cai Mao still controls nearly half of the Jingzhou naval army, anyone with a discerning eye knows that his military power will soon be lifted.

After Dong Zhuo stabilized the order of the new territory, it was impossible for Cai Mao to continue to be in charge of the navy.

The post of Governor of the Navy has been determined to be held by the newly demoted general.

Because he was afraid that the Cai family's dog would jump over the wall in a hurry and do irrational things, Li Ru ordered the Cai family and other major families in Jingzhou to be comprehensively monitored.

Who would have thought that in the past few days, the Cai family and the Kuai family and other wealthy families in Jingzhou would be so honest and have been holding on, as if they had fallen silent.

Hu Che'er's report made Zhang Ji immediately raise his vigilance; "This is not normal, there must be something greasy in it!"

Zhang Ji is also from a wealthy family in Liangzhou, and of course he knows the virtues of a wealthy family very well.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Zhang Ji still understands this.

"Let's go! Let's go over and see for ourselves. ”

Zhang Ji said to his nephews Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er beside him, took off into the air, came to a hundred zhang in the air, and flew towards the old house of the Cai family in Jiangxia City.

The three of them were all peak masters of the God Refining Realm, their speed was extremely fast, and their bodies only flickered twice, and they arrived in front of the Cai family's old mansion, which covered an area of about 100,000 acres.

This palatial mansion is quite inferior to the Cai family's nest in Xiangyang City, but it is also one of the top mansions in Jingzhou.

"Abnormal! It's so abnormal! ”

Zhang Ji carefully checked the silent mansion in front of him, and immediately found that something was wrong.

This extremely luxurious mansion, although it was shrouded in a four-star superb magic circle, could not be seen from the outside.

But what kind of power is the Cai family?

It's one of the world's top families.

Even if Taoguang is obscure now, it is impossible not to even see the figures coming in and out.

You must know that there is a huge family, and there are countless miscellaneous things, and it is impossible to be so deserted.

"General, last night, this Cai family's old mansion was still very lively."

Hu Che'er said, "But early this morning, it was deserted and there was no one in sight." ”

"However, the soldiers did not see any of them come out, so it must be ......"

He thought of something, and his face changed greatly, "Could it be that the people of the Cai family have quietly left in the teleportation array?" ”

"But if they wanted to leave, they could have done so a long time ago, and they couldn't run away now."

"What's more, Cai Mao proposed a few days ago that she wanted to fully surrender to the lord, but now she ......"

It's no wonder that Hu Che'er's brain is not enough, it's just that the Cai family's behavior is too abnormal.

"You two wait a minute, I'll report to the military advisor right away!"

Zhang Ji frowned slightly, took out a rune treasure-level communication talisman, and entered the abnormal situation here, and then urged his mind to see the teleportation talisman break through the air and leave, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Dong Zhuo's military regulations are extremely strict, and he is not under Wang Qiang.

Once a major event is mistaken, Zhang Ji can't afford the consequences.

Therefore, the current abnormal situation must be reported immediately.

"Whoosh!"

Just after a while, a communication talisman broke through the air and appeared in front of Zhang Ji's eyes, and he hurriedly took it and checked it.

"Xiu'er!"

After a while, Zhang Ji's eyes were cold, and he said to Zhang Xiu on the side, "The military advisor has an order, immediately mobilize the army, break the Cai family's lair of the guardian array, and start a comprehensive cleanup of the entire Jiangxia County family!" ”

After the army rested for a few days, Dong Zhuo finally decided to officially start cleaning up Jingzhou.

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

Zhang Xiu immediately received the order to leave and began to dispatch troops.

At the same time, including Hua Xiong, Hu Zhen, Guo Yan and other Tianjiao generals, they all received military orders from Li Ru.

Jingzhou, which had been silent for a few days, suddenly erupted like a volcano, and there was bloody wind and rain everywhere!

"The Cai family and the Kuai family have all run away?"

"Almost all the family children, personnel and materials, are nowhere to be found?"

"These two wealthy families actually gave up all their foundations in Jingzhou? Together with land and property? ”

However, as the army easily attacked the various strongholds of the Cai family and the Kuai family, they found that they were all empty, and the soldiers were dumbfounded one by one!

Fortunately, except for the Cai family and the Kuai family, the rest of the wealthy families did not have any abnormal situations.

In the next month-long clean-up, except for the Huang family and the Pang family, who fully retreated to their respective secret worlds, the rest of the wealthy families, large and small, all ushered in the catastrophe.

The male of their family was slaughtered, and their wealth, land, and resources were swept away by the wolf-like Dong Zhuo's army!

"Cai family, Kuai family, what happened? Disappeared inexplicably? ”

Li Ru's face was gloomy, and he said very puzzled, "They are in Jingzhou, such a big foundation, don't want it?" ”

"Moreover, our intelligence officers have reported that they have not found any trace of them anywhere!"

Although the harvest of the large-scale cleanup of the wealthy families in Jingzhou was huge, the wealth, personnel, and materials of the four major families were missing, and the losses were extremely great.

"Not only that, but even the millions of elites and tens of millions of private soldiers and dead soldiers of the navy army controlled by the Cai family, and more than billions of people, have disappeared with the Cai family and the Kuai family!"

"With so many personnel and materials, it is impossible to hide them perfectly and not be discovered by the world."

Dong Zhuo's face was not good-looking.

As a generation of heroes, where would he not know the hidden dangers of cutting grass without roots, and the spring breeze blowing again?

Especially in the world of cultivators, where there is karmic karma, this is even more so.

This is also a pattern in the battle between cultivators, if you don't make a move, you will have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Once the feud is made, the other party's nine clans must be destroyed as much as possible, and the other party will not be given any way to live.

It's better to crush the enemy's bones and scatter their souls, which is the normal operation.

"My lord."

Li Ru pondered for a moment and said to Dong Zhuo, "The reason for this situation is that the Cai family and the Kuai family have obtained a cave heaven like a secret small world, and they have temporarily escaped from the world. ”

"Or maybe they reached an agreement with a certain top-level demon beast race and migrated to the monster gathering place."

"Of course, it is also possible that they took the teleportation array and left the Huaxia Kyushu region and hid themselves to develop their heads. Of course, they will only be in the vicinity of Huaxia Kyushu, and it is impossible to go far. ”

"Hey!"

He sighed, "It's too late for us to carry out a major cleanup of Jingzhou, if we clean up every place we capture, the Cai family and the Kuai family, even if they can get rid of some core clansmen, will definitely be left with more than ninety percent of our personnel and financial resources." ”

In this regard, Wang Qiang has done a good job. As soon as he came, he immediately dispatched garrison corps and government personnel to carry out a large-scale cleanup of the local area every time he landed a land. ”

"Even the current Liu Bei is doing this, cleaning up a place when he lays it."

"Otherwise, with the current big advantage of Wang Qiang and Liu Bei, the speed of expansion will not be so slow."

This time, if you want to blame the Cai family, you have to blame the Cai family's actions are too fast and decisive, beyond everyone's imagination.

However, this also made Dong Zhuo and Li Ru learn a lesson and will not make similar mistakes in the future.

Some critical decisions, dragged on, can really cost a lot and leave huge hidden dangers.

"Forget it, don't mention this bullshit."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Wenyou, is the clean-up operation over our occupied area?" ”

"If it's over, the whole army will act again as soon as possible and capture the four counties of Jingnan!"

"Then Liu Bei's advantage over Sun Jian is getting bigger and bigger, we must capture the four counties of Jingnan before he destroys Sun Jian, stabilize the order, and fully restore the people's livelihood."

"Otherwise, not only will we not be able to compete with Wang Qiang in the future, but we may even be swallowed up by Liu Bei, which is a big joke!"

Dong Zhuo is not alarmist.

After recently copying Liu Bei's human sea tactical development model, he deeply knows the development potential of this model.

This is tantamount to an organized, disciplined, planned, and logistically high-profile version of the Yellow Turban Uprising!

If the original Yellow Turban Rebellion and Zhang Jiao's Taiping Sect could do this, the possibility of the Han Dynasty being overthrown is extremely likely!

Therefore, don't look at the fact that Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo's territory is not very big on the surface, but once this high-end version of the Yellow Turban Uprising mode is fully opened, the strength will swell rapidly!

Plundering the manpower and resources of the world's wealthy families, and vigorously opening up the tactics of the sea of people, the potential is far beyond people's imagination.

Of course, the consequences are endless.

In the battle for hegemony among the princes, once Dong Zhuo or Liu Bei wins in the end, there will be a huge backlash, and all kinds of drawbacks will be exposed.

After all, there are so many resources in the world, and as hundreds of millions of cultivators become higher and higher in their cultivation realms, the resources that need to be consumed will inevitably become larger and larger, and the damage to social and environmental resources will be devastating.

Once it is uncontrollable, the troubled times of the people's life will come soon, and they will be entangled in the karma of heaven and earth and suffer from bad luck.

Therefore, don't look at Liu Bei's current strength that can't catch up with Dong Zhuo, but he has done it more thoroughly than Dong Zhuo, and he is a real breaker.

Dong Zhuo can already foresee that in the later stage of the princes' struggle for hegemony, it will be the competition between himself, Liu Bei, and Wang Qiang.

The other princes who are constrained by the large number of wealthy families in their jurisdiction will soon withdraw from the battle for hegemony and be wiped out in the storm of the last days.

"My lord, the clean-up operation in our jurisdiction will be completed in one month."

"We will use the human and material resources plundered from those wealthy families to form another 100 million recruits!"

"With the addition of the 100 million recruits recruited not long ago, our total strength will reach an unprecedented 300 million!"

Li Ru's eyes showed a faint and cold glow, and he said coldly, "When the time comes, replace the old with the new, replace the training with fighting, and through the bloody battle training with Liu Bei, barbarians and other enemies, it will not take a year to have the ability to have a decisive battle with Wang Qiang!" ”

"If Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei can delay Wang Qiang's footsteps to the south for a longer time, we have a great possibility that we will finally win in this round of princes' hegemony!"

"Lord!"

Li Ru seemed to have a plan, looked at Dong Zhuo, and said quietly, "I suggest that we continue to recruit another 200 million troops to supplement the consumption of troops due to bloody battles and training, and strive to train a super-large-scale elite army as soon as possible!" ”

"Ants bite and kill elephants, not to mention elite soldiers who have been trained through bloody battles again and again? In the future, we have to fight a big showdown with Wang Qiang! ”

"I dare to categorize that Wang Qiang will not adopt this development model of exhausting all the resources and fishing."

"His current advantage is too great, and it is impossible to choose this path of development without humanity and consume the war potential for the next hundred years."

It's not that I don't say it, Li Ru, this guy, is a real ruthless person.

In his eyes, in order to realize his great cause, even if more soldiers die, it is worth it.

Coupled with the massive wealth and resources plundered from countless wealthy families, there are prerequisites for the implementation of this plan.

As for the aftermath?

I'm sorry, but after my family has settled the world, I just need to continue to come to the last round of cleanup.

Or when the time comes, order the soldiers of the whole army to launch a large-scale clean-up operation of demon beasts in various places, and they will be able to eliminate more than ninety percent of the soldiers again, so as to repay the massive amount of heaven and earth karma owed by their own families.

Whether it is Dong Zhuo or Li Ru, doing this kind of thing, he will definitely not even blink his eyes.

For them, as long as they can achieve their goals, even if they sacrifice billions of soldiers, so what?

"This ......"

Dong Zhuo also felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, thought about it deeply, and agreed, "Okay, just implement it according to Wenyou's plan!" ”

"Even if Jingzhou's future 100-year potential is overdrawn, as long as we can achieve our final goal, it will be worth it."

"As the old saying goes: one will make ten thousand bones dry. We're going with the flow. ”

"The process is a little bloody, it doesn't matter. The important thing is to be able to defeat Wang Qiang in the end and win the world! ”

"History is written by the victors, as long as we win in the end, we don't want to come, we can come!"

"As long as we can end this round of turmoil, restore the order of Kyushu in China, and build a great empire, no matter how great the sacrifice is, it is worth it!"

Now, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru have decided to completely open up, unscrupulous means, and gain the ability to compete with Wang Qiang as soon as possible.

They put aside all their worries and took the risk.
