On the afternoon of the next day, Ling Feng led his army back to Tanzhou City. At this time, news about Nanyang Road and Hanzhong Road came one after another.
The first was Nanyang Dao. Among the three million troops led by Ji Ling, 200,000 were Taoist soldiers. They were powerful and conquered seven or eight states in succession from the beginning.
Subsequently, Seven Kills, Po Jun led 200,000 Shura Blood Guards arrived, combined with Zhang Lu's 50,000 Dao soldiers and Nanyang Dao's 3 million state and county soldiers, defeated Ji Ling, killed Yuan Shu's general Lei Book, and beheaded him
Nearly half a million, and more than two million prisoners.
In the end, only about 200,000 of the three million troops led by Ji Ling escaped, and more than half of the Taoist soldiers were lost.
After this battle, the Shura Blood Guard absorbed enough blood essence and vitality, and its strength increased again. Ordinary Shura Blood Guards have basically reached the peak of the innate middle stage, and their strength has once again improved to a higher level.
Next was the battle on Hanzhong Road. Hua Xiong only brought two million troops. Everyone thought this was just Dong Zhuo's exploratory attack. However, the real situation was that Hua Xiong brought a flying bear army of 200,000 Dao soldiers.
, the strength is terrifying!
Although the White Tiger Legion and the Vermillion Bird Legion are both Taoist soldiers, with 200,000 soldiers in total, they are not of the same cultivation attribute. The power of the battle souls condensed by the two cannot be superimposed. If they really fight, they will not be 200,000 flying bears at all.
Army's opponent.
Fortunately Tanlang arrived. Although he only brought 100,000 Shura Blood Guards, they included 10,000 Grand Master-level Shura Guards. After the expansion of the Shura Blood Guards, the 90,000 Shura Guards were dispersed into four legions.
However, the 10,000 Shura Guards were not dispersed. For the sake of safety, Ling Feng temporarily transferred the 10,000 Shura Guards to the Greedy Wolf Legion.
The strength of the 10,000 Shura Imperial Guards is several times stronger than the 100,000 Taoist soldiers. Together with the other 90,000 Shura Blood Guards who are above the mid-level innate level, the increase is much greater than that of the 200,000 Flying Bear Army. More
What's more, there are 200,000 Dao soldiers such as White Tiger and Suzaku.
In this battle, Hua Xiong lost miserably. Not only was he injured by the Greedy Wolf Sword and had his arm broken, but nearly half of his Flying Bear Army was also lost. As for the ordinary army, it was completely wiped out.
After this battle, the 90,000 ordinary Shura Blood Guards devoured a lot of blood essence and vitality, and their cultivation basically reached the late Xiantian stage, and the strength of the Shura Imperial Guards also improved slightly.
At this time, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce were all repelled, and Ling Feng could finally breathe a sigh of relief. When it came to fighting, he was not afraid of anyone. However, Jingzhou had just come under his rule, and it had to take a period of time to recuperate and stabilize people's hearts.
, in order to completely control it.
However, although he was not preparing for a war during this period, he still had some plans to make in advance, such as conquering Jiangdong.
Immediately, he summoned Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Yi Ji, Liu Ba, Huang Quan, Zhang Song, Fazhen and other advisers to discuss the matter. He did not directly express his attitude and plan, but asked: "Now Jiangdong Sun Ce is planning for me in Jingzhou
, resulting in the massacre of the people in Changsha Road, I want to raise five million troops to destroy Sun Ce and capture Yangzhou, what do you think?"
Zhang Song said: "Now Sun Ce has lost 200,000 Taoist soldiers, lost his arms, killed tiger generals, and his strength has been greatly reduced. There is nothing to fear and we can attack him!"
However, Huang Quan's expression changed and he advised: "Absolutely not. My lord, our foundation is not stable now. If we rush to capture Jiangdong, there will be many hidden dangers!"
Ling Feng looked at Huang Quangao for a while, but then looked at Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.
Both of them nodded, and Kuai Yue said: "What Gong Heng said is reasonable. The battle in the world does not depend on the victory or defeat at the moment, but on the foundation. Now, the Lord's new move to Jingzhou is the time to accept the hearts of the wealthy families and stabilize the foundation.
Train Taoist soldiers and accumulate strength. Jiangdong is indeed going to be captured, but it will take two or three years."
Ling Feng listened and smiled: "What Yidu said is true, but Jiangdong is rich and the power of the wealthy families cannot be underestimated. If all the major families give their full support, Sun Ce's strength will definitely recover and even become stronger within three years.
Therefore, we must make preparations early. I have two prisoners here, named Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng. They are both fierce generals from Jiangdong. I plan to make Sun Ce pay a certain price to redeem them. What do you think?"
Kuai Yue pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said: "My lord is planning to offer a price that far exceeds the value of these prisoners, which makes Sun Ce unable to agree. As long as we do a little publicity, it will definitely chill the hearts of his soldiers. This is a plan to attack the heart."
, it is indeed feasible. However, the price must be set higher, otherwise even if he endures the pain, Sun Ce will exchange the prisoners back and win people's hearts."
Ling Feng smiled and said: "The price is indeed not low, one hundred thousand bottles of Gu Yuan Dan!"
Everyone present took a breath of cold air. Gu Yuan Dan, as the name suggests, is a type of elixir used by masters who have just advanced to stabilize their true energy. But in this era, there are not many types of elixirs.
Zhong Gu Yuan Dan is also often used to help the most acquired masters to open up mysteries, communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and break through the innate realm. If the cultivator himself has outstanding qualifications, basically only one pill is enough. If the qualifications are poor, three or five pills are enough.
There are nine grains in a bottle of Guyuan Pill, and one hundred thousand bottles of Guyuan Pill can cultivate at least 200,000 Dao soldiers. Not to mention that Sun Ce couldn't get it. Even if he could get it, he would definitely not do such a thing.
At this time, Kuai Liang suddenly said: "After hearing the lord's strategy, an idea appeared in my mind. I wonder if it is feasible?"
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Zi Rou, just speak out!"
Kuai Liang said: "We can send a large army to attack Jiangdong and threaten revenge. Then we can send someone to send a message to Jiangdong. If we want peace talks, Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao must be sent to Jingzhou. Given the nature of the Jiangdong family, they will definitely agree to this.
Even the Han Dynasty has been making peace with the Xiongnu all the year round in order to stabilize the border. If one woman can save the crisis in Jiangdong, how could they not agree? But with Sun Ce's character, they would never agree. Zhou Yu is his right-hand man, brother and sister, Zhou Yu
How could he give his wife away just after his death? This would inevitably cause a rift in the relationship between the two parties."
Ling Feng pondered for a moment and said: "Zirou's plan is indeed a good one, but as a result, Benzhou Mu will also have to bear the reputation of being a licentious woman, which is a mixed blessing. What do you think?"
Everyone glanced at Ling Feng and hesitated to speak, but Fazhen suddenly said: "My lord, you led the Shura Blood Guard and killed millions of enemy troops. Now you are known as a murderous butcher and a hellish Shura!
It’s just a name for lust, so what’s the harm!”
Ling Feng's expression froze slightly. No wonder these guys were hesitant to speak. It turned out that his reputation was so bad. This is because he has too many debts to worry about, and it can't get any worse anyway. Immediately, he coughed and said
