Chapter 1,156 Capture Jingzhou and expand the army again
Huang Zhong's archery skills were almost the best in the Three Kingdoms. Ling Feng instantly felt locked by a Zhiyang arrow. With a calm expression, he took out the Hunyuan Bow and a golden divine arrow, which were also Zhiyang attributes.
At the moment when the crimson blazing sun arrow turned into a crimson stream of light and struck rapidly, Ling Feng's Zhiyang Divine Arrow suddenly shot out, turning into a stream of light and shooting towards the blazing sun arrow.
The golden and red streams of light collided in the air, and with a bang, the air waves rolled. Immediately, the golden stream of light penetrated the red stream of light, and continued to shoot towards Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong immediately shot another arrow before knocking down the golden arrow.
When Han Xuan saw this scene, his expression changed drastically, because Ling Feng did not possess him with a war spirit just now. Instead, the other party defeated Huang Zhong, who was blessed by a war spirit, with his own strength. This kind of strength was far beyond
His imagination is far inferior to that of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu.
Only Huang Zhong, a top powerhouse who was at the peak of the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, understood Ling Feng's terror even more. He knew that this battle would be defeated, but he was responsible and could not back down, so he was preparing to attack again.
At this time, Han Xuan suddenly said loudly: "Everyone disbanded the battle formation and prepared to surrender!"
Han Xuan's decision to surrender was not accidental. First of all, Brother Cai Mao came to talk to him. Secondly, although Liu Biao had many soldiers, they lacked the elite Taoist soldiers and were no match for him in a fight. Therefore, he decided to use these five million troops as soldiers.
Be your own step forward.
Many soldiers were already demoralized and unwilling to fight because of the successive losses of Jingzhou's four roads. When they heard the surrender, they disbanded their battle formations and laid down their weapons without any resistance.
Huang Zhong felt that the power of the fighting spirit in his body was rapidly disappearing, and he looked up to the sky and sighed.
Ling Feng looked at Han Xuan and smiled: "You won't regret it!"
Immediately, Ling Feng looked at Huang Zhong, who was silent. Ling Feng guessed that it might be because his son Huang Xu was still in Liu Biao's hands and he did not dare to surrender. Therefore, he just sealed his cultivation for the soldiers to watch.
Following Han Xuan's surrender, Ling Feng's military strength increased greatly and he quickly occupied Lingling Road.
When Liu Biao received the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood and lay ill in bed, looking like he was about to die soon. This was a symptom of the backlash of luck. Liu Biao separated himself from Jingzhou and became the leader of one side. He usually relied on the power of luck to practice, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
Everything goes smoothly. But now, with repeated defeats, the power is about to disappear. As the leader of the power, the backlash of luck will lead to various diseases, disasters, and ultimately death.
At this time, Liu Biao knew that he was about to die soon, so he summoned brothers Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Huang Zu and others to give instructions.
He stared at Cai Mao and said: "Degui, after I die, you can hand over Jingzhou's capitulation form to Yizhou on Cong'er's behalf. You are his uncle, take good care of him for me."
Cai Mao nodded in agreement, he still understood this sentiment.
Immediately, Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue and said: "Xidu, if you want to surrender to Cao Cao, you can go yourself."
Cai Mao's expression suddenly changed and he stared at Kuai Yue. If Kuai Yue was allowed to defect to Cao Cao, Ling Feng knew that he would definitely hold a grudge, so it would be better to kill him for meritorious deeds.
Kuai Yue smiled bitterly and said: "Yue Yue also thought that Cao Cao was the master of the Ming Dynasty before, but now, looking at it, Cao Cao is far from Lingzhou Mu's opponent, Yue Yue should stay."
At this time, Ling Feng was preparing to capture Zhangling Road, which was located at South Road, below Nanyang Road, and between Wuling Road and Jiangxia Road. Ling Feng had skipped this area in order to cross the river quietly. Immediately, Ling Feng received
Cai Mao couldn't help but look overjoyed when he received the news. However, he did not relax to prevent Liu Biao from delaying time and playing tricks. In addition, he had to be careful of Sun Ce from Jiangdong.
Three days later, Liu Biao died of illness, and Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Huang Zu surrendered to Ling Feng on behalf of Liu Cong.
And Ling Feng did not treat them badly, leaving positions for each of them. Although they are not the top talents, they are all excellent or above, so they must be reused.
Following Liu Cong's surrender, Huang Zhong and Wenpin also surrendered one after another, as well as Wei Yan, Gan Ning and others.
With the acquisition of Jingzhou, the area of contact with other states has greatly increased. Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shu in Yuzhou will all become the targets he needs to guard against, so it is imperative to expand the army!
First of all, Ling Feng established four Taoist legions with a quota of 100,000 with Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Wenpin. Of course, this is only a rough framework at the moment, and the soldiers are all warrior-level soldiers selected from the Jingzhou Army.
Whether elites can be trained into Taoist soldiers depends on their respective abilities.
Others Han Xuan, Huang Zu, Huo Jun, and Su Fei each also gave them 50,000 Taoist quotas.
In addition, Jumen and Lian Zhen returned. At first, they faked their death and were given the true Yuanli seed by Ling Feng. They arranged to join the army in the south, so they joined the Changsha Dao Army. The two got Ling Feng's true Yuanli seed and soon
He has been promoted to the realm of Grandmaster, and now he has reached the late stage of Grandmaster, and has also reached the position of General Pi.
The progress of their cultivation over the years is naturally far inferior to that of Qisha and others, but they are very familiar with the strength of the barbarians in Changsha Dao. Ling Feng is ready to let the two of them go to quell the barbarians.
The strength of the Southern Barbarians is stronger than Ling Feng expected. There are countless ethnic tribes of various sizes. They are mainly distributed in the three areas of Wuling Road, Lingling Road, and Changsha Road. Among them, the Wuling Barbarians are the strongest and often rebel.
Ling Feng has just unified Yizhou, and the people's hearts are not yet stable. The plan to conquer the Southern Barbarians will have to wait for two years, but the army can be trained now. He asked Ju Men and Lian Zhen to learn the Shura Blood Demon Technique to help them improve their cultivation.
When they reached the Grand Master realm, each of them was given a quota of 100,000 Dao soldiers. They were asked to select warrior-level elites from the Jingzhou soldiers. Ling Feng would give them blood seeds, train them into Shura Blood Guards, and then draw them from among the Shura Blood Guards.
Recruit some elites and serve as officers, and you will soon be able to form a combat force.
In addition to training Taoist soldiers, it is also about conquering wealthy families from all over the country and stabilizing people's hearts.
It will take at least three years to completely digest and master Jingzhou, so the next few years will require rest and recuperation.
At this time, Cao Cao couldn't help but look gloomy when he learned the news that Ling Feng had unified Jingzhou.
Next to him, Xun You said: "My lord, why don't you make Sun Ce the shepherd of Jingzhou and let them fight on the Yangtze River? Moreover, although Ling Feng's troops are strong, the navy relies entirely on the old troops in Jingzhou, so they are definitely not Sun Ce's opponent, but it will give him a big blow."
Loss. If we instigate Yuan Shu to march from Runan and attack Jingzhou, it will definitely make Ling Feng miserable and delay his development. Our army can take the opportunity to seize the Qing and Xu states."
Cao Cao nodded in agreement. The difference between him and Ling Feng now was Taoist soldiers. There was not much difference in quantity, but there was a big difference in quality. He had to find another way to recruit. And all of this takes time and territory, so he must first
Capture Qing and Xu states.
Three days later, Jiangdong.
When Sun Ce received the news that he had been canonized as Jingzhou Mu, he couldn't help but ask Zhou Yu, "Gong Jin, what do you think of the imperial court's canonization?"
Zhou Yu said: "This is obviously Cao Mengde's provocation plan, but Ling Feng has taken Jingzhou and is indeed our future enemy in Jiangdong. At this time, Ling Feng's footing is not stable, so it is time to attack him, otherwise he will be able to gain a foothold.
