Chapter 266 The Change of Lao Cao

 "Gongsun Zan wants to support, Zhang Bao and the others can continue to support"

"Although the Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Bao's command is not very powerful, their Yellow Turban warriors are still very lethal."

The news from the dark owl revealed that more than half of the casualties among Yuan Benchu's tens of thousands of troops were caused by the yellow scarf warriors.

To say that this Yellow Turban Warrior is comparable to an infantry tank, it is really terrifying.

If there were no powerful Lian Gang generals to stop them and let them charge, they would probably be the same as those heavy armored cavalry.

After all, they are invulnerable and pain-free, just like robots, so even elite soldiers can hardly cause much damage to them.

Those who can cause damage must have at least the seventh level of cultivation level or above.

A person with this kind of cultivation can become a captain in charge of five thousand soldiers and horses in the army.

He is considered a middle-level officer, and there must not be too many such people.

Even among Su Fan's million-strong army, there are probably only a few thousand at most who have reached the seventh level of training.

This was a team he had selected over the years and spent a lot of materials to cultivate.

The third level of training is easy to cultivate. Ordinary people who join the army and receive training may be able to reach the first or second level of training in a few years.

Of course, this is training from the East China Sea Territory. Other princes do not have such a large amount of training and nutritional supplements.

It is not so easy to break through after the fourth level of training. It requires some talent and constant efforts. As for the seventh level of training, it is even more difficult.

I'm afraid many of them require decades of hard work.

Of course, natural talent does not count. People like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who are even ten years old, have already achieved breakthroughs in refining the power. You have nothing to say about these people.

Su Fan spent a lot of money to cultivate just a few elites.

However, Taiping Dao can quickly create a group of yellow scarf warriors who can compete with five or six levels of strength training just by relying on a few Taoist masters, which shows how terrifying this spell is.

Of course, Su Fan knew that this actually required prerequisites. First of all, the casters must have a high level of cultivation.

Secondly, as a carrier, your body must be strong, especially if you want to reach the fifth or sixth level of strength training. The carrier's previous cultivation level was about two or three levels of strength training.

And once it is used, even if the Yellow Turban Warrior survives, it is considered useless.

Calculated in this way, the cost is not small.

Zhang Bao's million-strong army can only cast spells to release thousands of Yellow Turban warriors at a time, but the shortcomings are still huge.

But no matter what, the Yellow Turban Army in the Taihang Mountains is still a powerful force.

According to the news from An Xiao, the Yellow Turbans in Taihang Mountain are very young and strong, and they seem to be the only remaining forces of the Yellow Turbans, with many elites. After all, Zhang Jiao retained some of the Yellow Turban elites back then.

If it can be armed, the combat power will be improved here.

"With our current supplies, even if we provide them to both parties, there will be no pressure. Moreover, it is also a good thing for the lord to consume Yuan Benchu's military power and his heritage as much as possible."

Of course they want to see the enemy getting weaker and weaker.

From the beginning of the war in the North, Guo Jiaxunyou and others were not optimistic about Gongsun Zan. First of all, Gongsun Zan's character and ability.

It is true that Gongsun Zan was a good hand at leading troops in battles. This was recognized by all the counselors present.

Even the generals like Taishi Ci could not refute that when it came to commanding cavalry in battle, none of them dared to say that they could be more powerful than Gongsun Zan.

However, leading troops to fight is simply leading troops to fight. This is considered an advantage for a general, but not necessarily for a monarch.

A monarch may not need strong military talents, or even weak political talents. It doesn't matter. He only needs to be able to make good use of people.

If you can adjust the internal personnel relations well so that internal talents can exert their respective abilities, then you will be considered a great monarch.

If you also have some talents in internal affairs and military affairs, as well as a bit of broad vision, you can be considered a talented person.

Obviously, Gongsun Zan is not such a person, he can only be regarded as a general.

However, it is difficult for such a general to become a prince.

The ceiling of the general world, the Overlord Xiang Yu, is he not very capable when it comes to leading troops in battles?

He is definitely very strong, but after becoming king, he kept going downhill. This is a lesson learned from the past. Can Gongsun Zan's ability be compared with Xiang Yu?

No one can think that Gongsun Zan is as good as Xiang Yu, and he is not even one-tenth as good as Xiang Yu.

So his failure is doomed.

As for Yuan Shao, another major vassal in the north, comparing him with his great ancestor Liu Bang, let alone their abilities.

In terms of comprehensive ability, Liu Bang must surpass Yuan Shao.

But from the early stage, Liu Bang was not as good as Yuan Shao anyway.

Such a comparison is obviously very clear.

A long time ago, a group of counselors had frankly stated how long Gongsun Zan could last.

They had even made preparations long ago. Gongsun Zan's ability to persist for several years actually had a lot to do with the East China Sea Territory.

Because of business, Gongsun Zan passively developed part of the business after acquiring Youzhou, which gave him more money and food.

Otherwise, with his poor internal affairs, I am afraid that the money and food will be exhausted in the first two years, and before the war horses were traded, the East China Sea Territory also specially sent a batch of armaments.

At that time, there was no real war in the Northland.

It can be said that the East China Sea Territory's support for Gongsun Zan is definitely the greatest, and it continues.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Zan still failed to defeat Yuan Shao.

This also made Su Fan feel helpless. He wanted to change, but he didn't.

But in fact, today's divine men are very different from those in history.

Sun Jian in the south is not dead, and the current emperor is not Liu Xie but Liu Bian.

This must have been his arrival that triggered a turning point in fate.

Of course there is one more change, and that is about Lao Cao.

At the beginning of the sixth year of Chuping, Lao Cao actually led his troops to Luoyang City. Of course, he was not going to rescue the emperor, but following an order.

Regardless of whether Lao Cao has any thoughts of rebellion in his heart, at least for now he is still a loyal minister of the divine Han and is loyal to the divine Han.

As soon as he received the imperial edict, he led his troops to Luoyang City.

In fact, not only Lao Cao, but also the princes from all over the country received the imperial edict, especially Su Fan, who was promoted to a high official position. His official position was directly changed from Yuzhou Mu to Da Si Nong.

What a good guy, he is a Jiuqing. As for his title, he even reaches the level of County Marquis.

The premise is that he wants to go to Luoyang to pay homage to the emperor.

The same is true for others such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others. The Sangong and Jiuqing want them to enter Luoyang anyway.

At first glance, this thing is not a good thing. If you go to Luoyang, isn't it like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?

Except for Lao Cao, everyone else ignored the court and simply ignored each other. Anyway, they all saw the weakness of the Shenhan court and had no worries at all.

Su Fan was actually a little surprised by Lao Cao's choice.
