Chapter 1218: A Last Resort

Gwangling County.

Zhuge Liang came from Tangyi to meet with Guo Jia.

Nearly a year has passed since the capture of Xuzhou.

For such a long time, Guo Jia, who was in charge of Xuzhou's military affairs, was not just staying and playing.

To restore order and people's livelihood in Xuzhou, the government affairs department headed by Youtian Chou is responsible, and Guo Jia does not need to worry about anything.

The four main battle corps gathered in Xuzhou, and the nearly 20 million soldiers of the garrison corps, of course, will not sit still during the period.

More than half a year ago, after the offensive against Yuan Shu was launched, Guo Jia personally commanded the Zhenhai Regiment, the Xuanwu Legion, and the Qilin Legion, with the cooperation of a large number of garrison corps, taking advantage of the anxiety of Liu Bei and Sun Jian, the army went south, and recently captured Guangling County.

At present, in the Jiangbei region, Sun Jian only has a big city in Jiangdu left, and the rest of the towns have all been lost.

There was no way, not long ago, he chased Sun Jian into Zhenze, and was counterattacked by Sun Jian, who suddenly broke out, Liu Bei's elite army suffered heavy losses, and he couldn't hold the Jiangbei region at all, and was defeated and retreated by the army led by Guo Jiaqin.

Liu Bei, who was unwilling to completely lose the Jiangbei region, is now heavily armed in the Jiangdu City, preparing for a big battle with Guo Jia.

Guo Jia, who did not have an advantage in troops, was a little worried about how to capture Jiangdu City at the lowest cost and capture all of Liu Bei's towns in Jiangbei.

At this time, Zhuge Liang, who had formed the Fourth Route Army, came to meet with Guo Jia to discuss the capture of Jiangdu City after successfully capturing Tangyi City.

This is not making a big fuss, but Liu Bei, who was in a hurry, ordered to gather nearly 100 million soldiers and turned Jiangdu City into a hedgehog-like fortress city.

These nearly 100 million soldiers, although they have a lot of water, more than ninety percent of them are all early stage cultivators of the two-star refining realm who have just entered the path of cultivation.

The elite in Jiangdu City is less than 20 million people.

But Liu Bei's army of nearly 100 million people is mostly cannon fodder who has been completely brainwashed by him, and he really sees death as if he were at home, and he does not lack fighting spirit.

In all dynasties, this kind of army that is not afraid of death has been the most difficult.

Although their cultivation realm is not high, they are like moths fighting a fire and fighting to the death, which is very troublesome.

Therefore, before there was an absolute chance of victory, Guo Jia temporarily ordered the army to rest and recuperate and stopped the offensive.

In the original plan, his own family completely occupied Jiangbei, and the purpose of this round of attacks was completely achieved.

Before Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are destroyed, they will not cross the river and go south.

Therefore, the arrival of Zhuge Liang is undoubtedly a timely rain.

"Kong Ming, long admiration ......"

"Filial piety, ...... each other"

Zhuge Liang met Guo Jia, greeted him for a while, and came to the meeting hall to sit down oppositely.

"Kong Ming, that Liu Bei himself, has a powerful spiritual treasure talisman, and our army has been in contact with him many times, more than one battle."

Guo Jia opened his mouth and said, "In the battle of Guangling County that just ended, fortunately, I entangled him with Zilong, and our army was able to defeat him after breaking the protective array. ”

"But this guy's hole card is very strong, and he used the power of the natal spirit treasure to lead millions of remnants of the army to break through the siege and retreat to Jiangdu City."

Jiangdu City is located 1,500 miles south of Guangling County, which can be said to be close at hand for the army of cultivators, and can be reached in less than a day.

Guo Jia's natal spirit treasure is the Da Luo Jin Immortal-level Dragon Ball obtained after killing Yuan Shao, and there is a secret realm small world in it, which can carry a large amount of military supplies.

He and Zhao Yun joined forces to defeat Liu Bei, and it is conceivable that Liu Bei's combat power is so strong.

However, for Zhuge Liang, who has super bull cards, Liu Bei is like that, and there is no need to worry.

He has absolute confidence and defeats Liu Bei one-on-one.

"Fengxiao, this time the Jiang capital will be battled, then Liu Bei will be handed over to me to deal with."

Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently, "The Tianjiao generals in Liu Bei's army can't be compared with our army, the only thing to worry about is the huge number of cannon fodder army. ”

"But isn't this a creation of our soldiers?"

"As long as this army of nearly 100 million cultivators is completely annihilated, the causal pressure on the backs of our two armies in the past will inevitably be washed away, which will be of great benefit to the future."

He's right.

Liu Bei, this guy, went against the sky and expanded the army of cultivators indefinitely, although he gained enough soldiers in a short period of time, he also committed the taboo of cultivators, and was hated by heaven and earth.

It is estimated that this is also the main reason why everything has not gone well for him recently.

Cultivators who do not have enough merit and luck are like tumors between heaven and earth, and they are the objects to be eliminated by the origin of heaven and earth.

The nearly 100 million Liu Bei army gathered in Jiangdu City sounded terrifying, making the soldiers invincible.

But if the soldiers of their own side wiped out these deeply brainwashed cultivators' cannon fodder in one battle, it would be a huge gain.

"That's just as well."

Zhuge Liang said, of course Guo Jia knew that all he was worried about was the staggering number of enemy troops, which could not be killed.

However, he was originally at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, but now with the support of the Fourth Route Army led by Zhuge Liang, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

What's more, this Zhuge Liang seems to have super hole cards, and he actually has the confidence to deal with Liu Bei in person?

Obviously, for some reason, Wang Qiang and his wife, who knew Zhuge Liang's details, did not publicize his hole cards, and even Guo Jia was not clear.

"Kong Ming, that Liu Bei's hole cards are too strong, the big array we laid out, it's okay to break the formation with a formation, but if you want to trap him, you can't catch it."

"Unless the lord personally takes action, he can do it."

"Hey......"

He sighed and said, "Now the lord's focus is on Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, and in the short term, there is no skill in the body, and it is impossible to come and clean up Liu Bei in person." ”

During this period of time, he has fought with Liu Bei several times, although they all ended in victory, but every time Liu Bei was able to use his natal spirit treasure to break the formation and escape, which made Guo Jia very depressed.

If you want to really trap and kill Liu Bei, you can only cut off Liu Bei's life unless you use the super large array set of powerful formation-type spirit treasure suits.

Obviously, in the current Kyushu of the world, except for the lord who can do this, the other Tianjiao generals can't.

One or two spirit treasures alone, due to the relationship between the cultivation realm, cannot stimulate the real power, only the formation of the spirit treasure set to stimulate the large array itself, can be like Liu Bei, a hidden dragon Tianjiao with a super hole card, form an absolute suppression.

And to be able to meet this requirement, at present, in Huaxia Kyushu, only Wang Qiang.

"We can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, we don't have a hurry, just take our time."

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "The main thing is to destroy Liu Bei's main force, weaken his potential, and expel him to Jiangnan." ”

"When the area north of the Yangtze River is all owned by us, Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei will not be able to make many waves."

Now most of his own energy is on Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.

Compared with the princes who have the full support of the wealthy families and the hundreds of princes on their two roads, whether it is Dong Zhuo or Liu Bei, it is not so important.

"Well, for the defense of the western front in Xuzhou, I have ordered Gao Shun to lead the Xuanwu Legion and tens of millions of garrison soldiers to do a perfect job, don't worry about Cao Cao coming to intervene."

"So, three days later, the scheduled battle in Jiangdu, we won!"

When it comes to strategy and tactics, Guo Jia has to surpass Zhuge Liang.

It's just that Guo Jia is proficient in military strategy and is not as versatile as Zhuge Liang.

The battle plan he had perfected, and the only thing that was short was that there were enough troops.

Now that Zhuge Liang has arrived, this shortcoming has been solved.

The real commander-in-chief of Xuzhou is still dominated by Guo Jia, supplemented by Zhuge Liang.

This is normal.

Zhuge Liang, who has just arrived and just joined, although he has been in charge of the army, his status is far inferior to Guo Jia.

Zhuge Liang also knows this, so he has a very correct attitude, and he will not and dare not oppose the customer.

Despite his high self-esteem, he was a wise man.

Anyway, there's plenty of time to prove yourself in the future.

After talking with the lord Wang Qiang a few times, he knew clearly that the lord had great ambitions, and it was not at all a sealed projectile land that could be restricted.

In the future, there will be endless years and countless opportunities to achieve your ideals.

The two discussed for nearly an hour, and Zhuge Liang got up to say goodbye and leave.

He had to return to Tangyi City as soon as possible, organize his army to the south, and three days later join Guo Jia's division outside Jiangdu City to launch a new round of attacks on Liu Bei.

This time, it was Zhuge Liang who proved himself and made a name for himself, and he was fully psychologically prepared.

Officers and soldiers in the army, the strong are respected.

If you want to integrate into Wang Qiang's forces as soon as possible, it is undoubtedly the best way to defeat Liu Bei in person in front of tens of millions of soldiers.

Zhuge Liang's desire for power is great, and it is still very far away to achieve the ideal in his heart, how can he do it without working hard?

……

At this time, Jiangdu was heavily armed.

At night, the hall is brightly lit.

Liu Bei's face was gloomy, as if a dark cloud was pressing down, which made the atmosphere in the hall almost freeze.

"Lord, during this period of time, the scout report we stayed near Zhenze to observe, that Sun Jian, who was entrenched in Zhenze Poison Dragon Island, did not make any moves."

"It's just that the dense fog formed by the blood-colored evil qi that enveloped Poison Dragon Island is getting thinner and thinner day by day, and it seems to be gradually dissipating."

Jian Yong's face was also very ugly, and he said worriedly, "According to our inference, the disappearance of the dense fog is related to Sun Jian and them. ”

"Nine times out of ten, they are cultivating some kind of magic skill, and the mysterious bloody qi on Poison Dragon Island has been refined and absorbed by them."

Because the current situation shows that Wang Qiang's main energy is on dealing with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, and he is obviously lacking in skills.

Therefore, the top priority facing Liu Bei now is still the hidden Sun Jian.

Although I don't know why Sun Jian, whose strength has skyrocketed, will not move in the poisonous dragon island, this does not mean that Liu Bei can sit back and relax.

Anyway, before the elimination of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, it was impossible for Wang Qiang to cross the river to the south, and the real decisive moment was far from coming.

was personally educated by Sun Jian, but Liu Bei knew very well what was terrible about Sun Jian's remnants of the army who had gained some kind of great opportunity.

To put it mildly, it's not something that humans can stop at all.

If there are any forces in today's world, who can fight with Sun Jian, it is none other than Wang Qiang.

There are fierce tigers in front and hungry wolves in the back, and Liu Bei is restless now.

"My lord, Sun Jian's matter has become a foregone conclusion."

Sun Qian interjected and said, "It's just that his current situation is very puzzling." ”

"Nine times out of ten, Sun Jian was subject to some kind of constraint, so he will no longer retaliate against us after the big change."

"Otherwise, the revenge of killing the son, with Sun Jian's personality, it is impossible to let go."

"If my guess is true, let's ignore that Sun Jian for the time being, can't we provoke it, can't we still hide?"

Although Sun Qian was also panicked, he did not lose his mind and remained very clear.

This is also the normal performance of a qualified strategist Tianjiao.

Compared to those top-level strategists, Sun Qian is not a top-level strategist.

But in Liu Beijun, who lacks talents, he is the first strategist Tianjiao.

His words carry a lot of weight, "Lord ......"

Sun Gan looked at Liu Bei with some worry, paused, and then made up his mind and said, "Now the north of Jiangdu City, Guangling County and Tangyi City have all fallen into the hands of the enemy. ”

"According to the report of the spies, there are tens of millions of elite enemy troops stationed in Natangyi or Guangling County."

"We have recently lost the entire Guangling County, and there is only one Jiangdu City left in Jiangbei, and the chance of victory is very small."

"It's better to ......"

He looked at Liu Bei, whose face was becoming more and more blue and red, and said his suggestion, "In order to preserve the vitality and maintain enough war potential, it is the best choice for our side to take the initiative to abandon Jiangdu and move to Jiangnan." ”

Having said that, this Jiangdu City is already its last stronghold north of the Yangtze River.

If you give it up, it is equivalent to completely giving up the initiative in your future war, and you want to gain a foothold in Jiangbei again, God knows if there will be a chance in the future?

This is not only Liu Bei's reluctance, but even Sun Gan himself is reluctant.

Therefore, making this decision is like a strong man breaking his wrist, which makes people's hearts ache so much that it is difficult to breathe.

"Give up Jiangdu?"

"This is going to completely abandon Jiangbei."

Liu Bei was immediately furious when he heard this, but he also knew that this was the best way to preserve his strength now, and he wanted to scold, but with the deep city government, he forced himself to press it down.

Sun Qian's intentions are good, and it is also the wisest thing to do at present, but Liu Bei just can't swallow this breath.

The awe-inspiring aura in his body made everyone in this huge meeting hall silent, and no one made a sound for half a sound.

God knows how much scheming and price Liu Bei spent in order to seize the Jiangbei region of Xuzhou and Yangzhou before.

Now that Wang Qiang is easily picking peaches, he will be angry in his heart!

Stay the course?

However, it really can't defeat the attacking Wang Qiang's two-way army!

Once the city is broken, the nearly 100 million soldiers gathered in the city will definitely not be one in ten.

What about his Liu Bei's success in running away again? He really can't afford to lose this nearly 100 million army.

In order to realize the tactics of crowd control, the entire Xuzhou and Jiangdong regions, the people who have the potential to awaken and become cultivators have been swept away by him.

At least in a decade or two, the source of talent has been cut off.

Once in the Jiangdu Great Array that is about to open, there are heavy losses, and if you want to recover, you can't do it at all.

"Hey......"

After a long time, Liu Bei sighed and made a decision, "Withdraw." ”

"Otherwise, the soldiers will suffer heavy losses, and our foundation will be finished."

Liu Bei is not stupid, he knows very well that his persistence in Jiangbei is destined to be in vain, of course he will not be so stupid, so that most of his own vitality will be lost in Jiangbei.

Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood.

Liu Bei understands this truth, and he has three flavors.

"Pass the order, let the soldiers empty the entire Jiangdu City as much as possible!"

He said fiercely.

However, in order not to irritate the other party, Liu Bei did not order the burning of the city after the evacuation.
