Chapter 1209: If you can't beat it, join in
Miserable!
It's miserable!
Liu Bei, who fled from Taihu Lake in embarrassment, found that he had lost thirty percent of the elite soldiers after counting the number of people, and his face was black!
What he was even more afraid of was that Sun Jian, who suddenly increased his combat strength, launched a big counterattack against his family.
"Lord, it's strange......"
Jian Yong thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong, "Then since Sun Jian has such a strong strength, why was he defeated by us before?" ”
"This is a war related to the foundation of the princes of one side, and there is no reason to avoid it at all!"
"Moreover, in the battle just now, Sun Jian only pursued Qianli and stopped the pursuit, which is even more strange."
He couldn't figure it out.
"That's right!"
Cheng Pu touched his head and said with some confusion, "Since Sun Jian has such a powerful hole card, under normal circumstances, he will not let us go so easily." ”
"To put it mildly, a million masters of the God Refining Realm are enough to easily sweep Jiangnan."
"This Sun Jian won't ...... It can't be that the mutation that happened after retreating to the mysterious poisonous dragon island, right? ”
Obviously, not long ago, Sun Jian was like a lost dog, beaten to the ground by his own side, and even the entire Jiangdong was lost, leading millions of remnants of the army to flee into the earthquake.
But in the World War I that just ended, there were earth-shaking changes, and it is strange to say that there is no great secret in it.
The most bizarre thing is that Sun Jian and the millions of soldiers under him have changed their aura greatly, and even their body size is much burlier.
How can such an outrageous situation be normal?
"My lord."
Sun Qian interjected and said, "No matter what, it's a good thing that Sun Jian didn't chase after him." ”
"Maybe he's so powerful now, maybe it's at an unknown price, constrained by the unknown, although we don't know why."
"If anyone else, with his current strength, he would not be so low-key and let the tiger return to the mountain."
As soon as he said this, everyone nodded.
The cultivators of the four-star Refining God Realm are all enlightened and have greatly increased their spiritual intelligence, and it is impossible for them to be stupid.
Obviously, Sun Jian and the millions of soldiers under him must have encountered some changes and constraints, so they would be so worried.
"Lord, no matter what, it's better for us to stay away from this Zhenze area."
Sun Qian then proposed, "It's a pity that our strength has been damaged a lot, and if we want to counterattack Xuzhou, it is basically impossible in the short term." ”
Not long ago, as soon as Sun Jian was defeated, Liu Bei ordered the army to go north, preparing to counterattack Xuzhou and regain his foundation.
It's a pity that in the battle just now, the soldiers were lost and the strength was greatly reduced.
Originally, everyone still thought that Wang Qiang was now an enemy of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and he couldn't divide many soldiers and horses to deal with him.
However, at this critical time, their own elites are badly damaged, and it will take time to recover.
After Liu Bei adopted the tactics of crowd warfare, it was good to have more soldiers and generals, but more than ninety percent of the soldiers were all cultivators in the early and middle stages of the two-star period, the kind of cannon fodder.
Soldiers above the two-star level, including the three-star Qi Refining Realm and the four-star God Refining Realm, are definitely not more than fifteen million.
In the war with Sun Jian so far, as many as half of the elites have been lost.
Now there are less than 10 million elite soldiers, how can they fight with Wang?
What's more, there is also a huge hidden danger of Sun Jian who doesn't know when it will explode, which makes people feel uneasy, not to mention, and they are always frightened.
"Well, the advisor is right."
Liu Bei immediately nodded in agreement, "Although we don't know what Sun Jian is hiding, it's a good thing for us that he is staying in Zhenze." ”
"Pass on my military order, Zhenze will be listed as a military restricted area in the future, and no one is allowed to break in!"
After experiencing the crushing battle just now, Liu Bei was afraid of Sun Jian, where did he dare to stroke his tiger whiskers?
"The action of cleaning up the wealthy families of Jiangdong must be hurried, and no one should be left behind!"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he ordered gloomily, "If we want to recover the lost elite soldiers as soon as possible, we must seize the population and resources of those wealthy families as food." ”
"The real challenge has just begun, and we will not sit still!"
In fact, Liu Bei, who has a powerful natal spiritual treasure, is not very afraid of Sun Jian or even Wang Qiang.
Just like in the encounter that just ended, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many masters of the God Refining Realm under Sun Jian, he would not have fled in a hurry.
If it comes to fighting alone, even the current Sun Jian will not be able to crush him.
After all, in this heaven and earth, a four-star peak cultivator is already a ceiling cultivator.
Now that he had guessed that Sun Jian might be constrained by the rules of heaven and earth, Liu Bei also regained some confidence.
This Zhenze area is too terrible now, after Liu Bei's military order was issued, everyone did not dare to slack off, and the army was arrayed with super high efficiency, and hurriedly began to evacuate.
It's just that in less than a day, this Zhenze area, which is tens of thousands of miles in radius, has returned to calm.
……
Liu Bei is miserable, and Yuan Shu at this time is even more miserable!
After the guerrilla tactics of Yuan Shao's side failed, Wang Qiang's three-way army rested and began the siege of Yuzhou again.
Without a strong enough protective array to protect the city, the towns of Yuzhou were unexpectedly captured by Wang Qiang's army continuously, and the speed of losing the city and land was extremely fast.
The urban offensive and defensive battles can't be beaten, and in the field battles, Yuan Shu is not the opponent of Wang Qiang's side.
He didn't dare to start the field battle mode with Wang Qiang at all.
The fiasco of Cao Cao's alliance with the wealthy family half a year ago has confirmed this with bloody facts.
Hundreds of millions of soldiers were almost wiped out in just a few days.
This is enough to show that Wang Qiang's side is strong in field battles, and it is not comparable to other princes at all.
"What about Zhuge Military Division?"
"Where did he go?"
"Quick! Find it! ”
Just received the information that Lu Bu and Jia Xu's army on the middle road would arrive at the city of Pingyu in Yuzhou three hours later, which frightened Yuan Shu a little distraught.
At this time, the military advisor Zhuge Liang, along with the Zhuge family and the Huang family, suddenly disappeared, making Yuan Shao jump up and down in a hurry!
"Report!"
A herald came late, and said in a panicked report, "The military advisor said yesterday that he was going to Yangzhou Shouchun to inspect the defense work, but it turned out that he disappeared with Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying's father and daughter!" ”
Yuan Shu is not stupid, where can he not guess something.
He was stunned, his eyes were dazed, and then he trembled with anger, and said tremblingly, "Okay...... Good...... What a Zhuge Kongming! ”
"Did you give up?"
Yuan Shu's face turned pale, and he sat on the big wooden chair gloomily, his lips trembling, and his face gradually turned blue.
"Lord!"
At this time, a figure flickered, it was the vigorous and heroic Yang Family Qilin Zi Yang Xiu!
I saw his report in Xingchong, "I just received the news that Cao Cao officially announced a war against Wang Qiang!" The soldiers were divided into three ways to counterattack Gunzhou and Xuzhou! ”
"The army led by Xiahoudun and Xi Zhicai launched a blitzkrieg, broke through Wuxian, and advanced to Xiapi!"
"The main army led by Xun Yu and Cao Cao personally attacked Shanyang County and forced Lu Bu and Jia Xu to divide their troops to block it!"
"The Eastern Route Army led by Xun You and Cao Ren asked us if we wanted to come to support Pingyu City!"
At this critical moment, Cao Cao finally made up his mind and personally went to war with Wang Qiang.
Although this is not what he wants.
But if you sit back and watch Yuan Shu be destroyed, the next prince to face Wang Qiang's troops will definitely be him.
Therefore, whether he wants to or not, he can only passively join the battle.
As soon as the war began, some results were achieved, and it was obvious that Cao Cao's strength had basically recovered, and he had made sufficient preparations.
"Cao Cao joined the war?"
Yuan Shu suddenly came back to life with full blood, his eyes widened, and he confirmed, "Really? ”
"Lord, it's true!"
After receiving the confirmation, Yuan Shu's face recovered, and he got up and rubbed his hands and walked, "That's good!" That's it! ”
Originally, the sudden disappearance of Zhuge Liang and Huang Chengyan's father and daughter hit him hard.
Well, with Cao Cao's joining, not only has the pressure been reduced, but the odds of winning have increased greatly.
He knew that in terms of the number of Tianjiao generals under his command, Cao Cao was the strongest prince besides Wang Qiang.
It's only because of the mistakes of Gunzhou's tactics that it fell to this point.
But in general, the hard power of Cao Cao's side is stronger than that of his Yuan Shu.
Of course, this is a factor that excludes the support of the Saga family's wealthy team.
"Damn Zhuge Liang!"
"Damn Huang Chengyan!"
He thought of something again, and gritted his teeth with hatred and scolded, "Don't you think Lao Tzu is doomed? ”
"Now that Cao Cao is participating in the war, everything is variable!"
"It is still unknown who killed the deer."
The loss of Zhuge Liang, the top Tianjiao who coordinates the overall situation, made Yuan Shu's square inch chaotic.
His own side was defeated repeatedly, his troops were lost, and his eldest son Yuan Yao was also tragically killed, which brought a huge blow to Yuan Shu.
After the failure of his own guerrilla tactics, the panic in his heart was exacerbated.
"Then Zhuge Liang and Huang Chengyan won't lead their Zhuge family and Huang family to join Wang Qiang, right?"
This thought flashed in Yuan Shu's heart, and while panicking, he was angry, "If this is the case, Lao Tzu wishes you a good death!" ”
"Treacherous people will be punished!"
Having said that, Yuan Shu's heart was full of resentment.
There is no doubt that if this is the case, the strength of Wang Qiang's side will increase greatly.
Zhuge Liang is not without ability, but has great ability.
It's just that under Yuan Shu's hands, there is no platform for him to fully exert his strength.
But if it is replaced by an elite soldier under Wang Qiang, commanded by Zhuge Liang, the lethality caused is unimaginable!
……
"Kong Ming, the general trend of the world is like this, there is no need to worry about it anymore."
Just walked out of the teleportation array in Shangcai City in Runan County, Huang Chengyan hurriedly said to Zhuge Liang.
"Father-in-law, I know what is important."
Zhuge Liang is a smart person in the world, and he knows very well that the Huang family and the Zhuge family where his father-in-law is located have spent a lot of money to reach an agreement with Wang Qiang to take refuge, so naturally he will not know the importance.
In order for Wang Qiang to accept the surrender of the Zhuge family and the Huang family, the two of them paid a huge price.
First of all, most of the large amount of fields and forests occupied by the two big families were handed over to cooperate with the rectification of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Then, a large number of clansmen who had previously invested in many parties and separated from each other were all called back.
Obviously, Wang Qiang will not accept the kind of multi-party bet and focus on preserving the family.
Only if he defects to Wang Qiang wholeheartedly, he will reluctantly accept it.
After all, both the previous Huang family and the Zhuge family killed a lot of soldiers in the battle with Wang Qiang's side.
If this is half-hearted, betting on Wang Qiang like other princes, it will definitely not be accepted.
Because their two families had criminal records, they not only had to defect to the whole family, but also paid most of the land and resources before they were reluctantly accepted by Wang Qiang.
Moreover, neither of them will have any privileges in the future, and everything will speak with military merits and contributions.
Whether or not the Zhuge family and the Huang family can be brilliant again depends on their future efforts.
The current two families are no different from ordinary people, and there will be no preferential treatment.
Of course, these harsh conditions are a good thing for Zhuge Liang and Huang Chengyan, father and daughter, who have absolute self-confidence.
With their ability, it is not a problem to receive awards for meritorious service in the future.
"Brother Kong Ming, someone is coming to greet us."
Huang Yueyingcai and hundreds of thousands of clansmen from the two families walked out of the teleportation array, and saw a team of soldiers and officials coming to greet them outside the large teleportation array in the center of the city.
This Shangcai City is a large city that has just been captured by Lu Bu's army, and it is also a temporary former enemy command post.
In view of the particularities of the Zhuge family and the Huang family, of course the Ministry of Military Affairs will not place the two of them in their own core area.
At least not until Kyushu is unified.
The Zhuge family and the Huang family still have a way to go if they want to completely integrate into Wang Qiang's forces.
"Huang Chengyan, Huang Yueying, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin......"
Tai Shi Ci received an order today to be responsible for receiving and placing the two new Jingzhou families, and after checking the core clansmen of these two families, there was no missing, and then he nodded and said, "You come with me, the mansion where you two live is ready." ”
"However, don't worry, we pay the most attention to fairness, and everything in the future will be based on contribution value and military merit value."
"All kinds of benefits are also treated equally. After registering your identity documents, you will soon find out. ”
He said in a businesslike introduction, "It is no exaggeration to say that we have all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures and top-level cultivation resources here, which are completely beyond your imagination, and even all kinds of acquired level treasures will not be lacking." ”
"And these things can be exchanged for military merit and contribution points in exchange for ......"
He explained the general situation of Zhuge Liang and Huang Chengyan's father and daughter again and again.
Looking at their surprised eyes one by one, they were not verbose, and led a pair of soldiers to guide the hundreds of thousands of people from the two families who had just arrived, and walked to the nearby demarcated living area.
In order to take refuge in Wang Qiang, the Huang family and the Zhuge family's own secret small world were all taken away by Wang Qiang, so they reluctantly agreed to release their suspicions and accepted the surrender of the two of them.
It can be said that these two wealthy families have paid a great price.
But it was precisely because they were so sincere that Wang Qiang accepted the refuge of the two of them after thinking about it again and again, and no longer settled old accounts with them.
