Chapter 510: Triumph

After receiving Shang Ji's order, Zhao Yun and Liu Meng immediately accelerated their march, hurried overnight, and joined Shang Ji at noon the next day!

The arrival of a total of 100,000 troops of the two greatly alleviated the dilemma of the lack of Shang Ji's troops, and Liu Meng brought a big surprise to Shang Ji!

With the arrival of Liu Meng's army, the mood of the Xianbei prisoners of war quickly stabilized, and the resistance of the other six Xianbei middle and lower classes to surrender to the Han people was greatly reduced!

This is by no means as simple as an increase in troops, an increase in deterrence.

Liu Meng's special title of the king of wolves and the special physique of the wolf god battle body have a fatal attraction to the Xianbei people, and the greedy wolf cavalry is born from the special type of wolf cavalry unique to Xianbei, and its predecessor is the highest force of Xianbei.

Liu Meng rode with a greedy wolf, holding the wolf god blade, a symbol of Xianbei royal power, swaggering through the Xianbei tribe. Even if he didn't say a word, the ordinary herdsmen of the six Xianbei tribes fell to their knees very consciously, and the loyalty of the Xianbei nobles who had already surrendered to the Shang Dynasty skyrocketed.

The loyalty of those Xianbei diehards with a loyalty rate of only thirty or forty has increased by leaps and bounds to sixty or seventy, and the surrender faction, which was originally quite loyal, has generally reached about eighty!

After Liu Meng walked around among the 300,000 captives in Xianbei in the east, the resistance of the captured Xianbei soldiers basically dissipated, and even the eyes of the captured Xianbei nobles flashed with strange colors!

Both Shang Ji and Liu Meng underestimated the influence of the Wolf King and the Wolf God War Blade within Xianbei!

If it weren't for the fear of being supported and left behind by eating too much at one time, Shang Ji would now be able to recruit 500,000 servants from the six Xianbei and captured armies with 200,000 elite special troops as the backbone. Then rely on a small number of Xianbei to lead the way, cooperate with Liu Meng's influence, and conquer the entire eastern Xianbei in one fell swoop!

However, after careful consideration, Shang Ji gave up this tempting idea!

Although this can quickly conquer Xianbei, this conquest is only superficial, and Pingzhou is not prepared accordingly, and Shang Ji must rely on Xianbei nobles to rule the grassland. If this mode of changing the soup and not changing the medicine is not good, it will be another Wuhuan, and in the end, he will listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and even stab him in the back at a critical moment.

Moreover, rashly launching such a large-scale war will inevitably seriously affect Pingzhou's three-year plan. At this time, what Pingzhou needed was penance and internal strength, because the war interrupted the good development trend, and the gains outweighed the losses.

In the end, once Shang Ji did this, because of the cold lips and teeth, Kebineng and Budugen would definitely immediately give up the fight and turn to fight together against Shang Ji wholeheartedly.

The scum of Xianbei in the east is not worth mentioning, but Kebineng and Budugen are not easy to mess with, and in an all-out battle with them, Pingzhou's four million troops must attack with all their troops to have any hope of victory.

Now that Pingzhou has just stabilized, once the regular army is all withdrawn, Shang Ji doesn't dare to imagine what chaos will happen in the local area!

Shang Ji, Deng Yan, Liu Yi and other core high-level leaders in Pingzhou have already set a strategic plan, and there will be no all-out war before the completion of the first three-year plan in Pingzhou!

In view of the above reasons, Shang Ji simply gave up the plan to fully occupy Xianbei in the east.

However, in order to make up for his psychological losses, Shang Ji waved his hand and collectively increased the ransom of the calculated Xianbei nobles by one percent!

Their ransom has been calculated, and the overall number is very satisfying to the merchants. If the ransom can be paid in full as expected, the harvest of this wave of extortion will not be less than the battle just now.

Shang Ji has released some cronies of the Xianbei nobles, and asked them to go back with tokens that can prove their identity to deliver the news, so that the "hostage relatives" can quickly prepare a ransom to ransom them!

However, Shang Ji expressed doubts that they would be able to pay the ransom in full, as they may have been very valuable in the tribe, but now they are in a state of captivity. It is not known how much influence and control they still have over the tribe today.

Thinking darkly, maybe those unfilial sons are waiting for their Lao Tzu to "die on the battlefield" in order to inherit wealth and power! The power struggle within Xianbei is bloodier and more brutal than that of Han Di!

However, Shang Ji didn't mind, and if he couldn't collect the ransom, he sold the relatively strong Xianbei nobles to Yan Huang, Yan Huang gave a five-star praise to the last batch of Wuhuan prisoners of war, and I wish Shang Ji would sell a few more batches!

Those who are not capable will be thrown into the engineering camp for labor reform, and they will be used as waste, anyway, these Xianbei prisoners of war are originally a windfall.

After quickly getting everything done, Shang Ji rushed to Pingzhou with the prisoners of war, the spoils of war and the six Xianbei tribes of Toucheng.

Because there was too much drag, the speed of the march plummeted, and it took five days to reach the border of Pingzhou.

The six Xianbei were temporarily placed here, and a large amount of food and other living materials were left behind, Shang Ji left Liu Meng and the greedy wolf rider, and also left 50,000 black armor Xuanbei to protect (guard) the six Xianbei and wait for further processing.

And Shang Ji and Zhao Yun led a huge amount of loot back to Xiangping.

Shang Ji's triumph directly overwhelmed the heat of the world's first martial arts meeting, and the princes in Xiangping City were very face-saving and went out of the city to greet Deng Yan and others in person.

Looking at the dense prisoners of war and the endless cattle, sheep and horses, the princes from all walks of life had different expressions.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others were deeply jealous, and once again raised the threat level of Pingzhou. And Gongsun Zhan and Lu Bu drooled as they looked at Shang Ji's rich booty, and at the same time, they couldn't wait to make a plan to go north to Xianbei!

They were still familiar with Shang Ji, especially Lu Bu, who had been fighting together for several months. Lu Bu also has a relatively clear understanding of the Black Armor Xuanqi.

He admitted that the Black Armor Xuanqi was a little stronger than his Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, but Shang Ji's 100,000 Xuanjia attacked and brought back so many cattle and sheep war horses, he didn't ask for more, as long as Shang Ji had one-third of the harvest, he would be satisfied!

When Lu Bu went to Wuyuan County, he only had 50,000 wolf riders who lacked food and clothing to rely on, and he was even worse than Liu Bei! And he quickly gained a firm foothold by relying on his personal force and unified the military and political power of Wuyuan County!

What's even more shocking is that Chen Gong, an S-level top strategist from Yanzhou, didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he ran thousands of miles to recommend himself in front of Lu Bujun!

The scene of pies falling out of the world can make Lu Bu happy, and he immediately appointed Chen Gong as the chief of Wuyuan County and the Hun Zhonglang General, which can be described as a favor!

And Chen Gong also lived up to Lu Bu's high expectations, assisted Lu Bu in properly governing the five plains, and even intervened in the military and political affairs of the surrounding counties in the name of protecting the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, which greatly enhanced the strength and influence of Lu Bu's army. This time Shang Ji got married, Lu Bu personally came to congratulate him, and the one who was responsible for staying in Wuyuan was Chen Palace!

The arrival of Chen Gong made up for Lu Bu's shortcomings, and caused the strength of Lu Bu's army to expand rapidly.

However, Lu Bu is strong, but he also has something to worry about - there is a serious shortage of finances!

The five plains under the jurisdiction of Lu Bu, like Pingzhou, are barren places where birds don't poop. He is not like Shang Ji, who has He Lian and Qiu Liju selflessly dedicated their family funds to help Shang Ji develop.

And LĂź Bu's eagerness to expand the army further exacerbated the financial difficulties. Before he came, Chen Gong had already helped Lu Bu calculate an account, and according to the current situation, Lu Bujun would be financially bankrupt in less than three months.

This time, Lu Bu came to Pingzhou in person, and he did not mean to borrow some money from Shang Ji to tide over the difficulties temporarily.

Seeing that Shang Ji went out for less than ten days or so today, he brought back so much loot, Lu Bu seemed to see a new way to get rich!

He didn't want to open his mouth to borrow money unless he had to!

Deng Yan has a lot of experience in accepting large quantities of cattle, sheep, war horses and other trophies, and after returning to Xiangping, he doesn't have to worry about Shang Ji at all, Deng Yan will handle this properly, and Shang Ji will wait for his final results report!

After meeting with the princes who came to greet him, he expressed his apologies for leaving suddenly, and then thanked them for going out of the city to greet him, in short, after a false courtesy, Shang Ji returned to Xiangping City.

Everything in Xiangping City is as before, and nothing has changed because of the sudden departure and return of Shang Ji. However, vaguely, Shang Ji seemed to feel that this Xiangping City was more prosperous

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Shang Ji summoned Guo Biao, and he urgently needed to learn more about what had happened in the past few days since he left.

"Lord, everything is normal after you leave, although some of the generals who came to participate in the competition complained a little about the sudden postponement of the conference, but there was no chaos under the appeasement of the other driver, such as the first martial arts conference is going well today, the preliminary round is nearing the end, and it is expected that the day after tomorrow will start the rematch!"

This campaign ended in only ten days, which can be called a miracle speed. However, this time eventually exceeded Shang Ji's seven-day limit.

Shang Ji was also embarrassed to continue to postpone it, and after several high-level officials in Pingzhou discussed it through the communication stone, the world's No. 1 martial arts conference was officially opened in Shang Ji's absence!

The competition is mainly divided into three parts, namely the preliminary round - semi-final - final, and the preliminary round has come to an end.

The so-called preliminary round is actually a further selection of participants, at the beginning of the business intends to recruit talents, the registration conditions are set relatively low, and second-rate generals are eligible to register.

However, the second-rate martial arts will participate in the world's No. 1 martial arts conference in the future, this is not a joke, so the preliminary round is to screen out these candidates who are obviously not qualified!

Liu Yi recruited all the super-first-class generals who were free among the generals to serve as judges of the judging group, and all the contestants whose combat power was below the super-first-class were all excluded.

However, before the defeated generals were lost, they felt the meticulous care from the princes of all sides.

It is not only the Shang Ji and Yan Huang families who pay attention to these contestants, not only the princes, but even many players who are not very strong have joined this talent war.

Money, beauty, power, status, all kinds of conditions are constantly smashed at the unsuccessful generals, and there is a great posture of coaxing college graduates in the decade!
