Chapter 699: Surprise, Shock
Shang Ji looked at the battle report in his hand with emotion, he really didn't expect that the battle around Wancheng would end in this way.
Jia Xu is really ashamed of the name of the poisoner, and he destroyed a king-level city in three or two sentences, although it is not the core royal city of the Han land, but it destroyed a royal city at his fingertips, and this courage made Shang Ji breathtaking.
Originally, Shang Ji also considered whether Lu Bu's strength increased greatly after controlling Wancheng, whether it would suddenly expand and cause the relationship between the two sides to break down, but now it seems that there is no need to worry about this matter.
Although Lu Bu gained a lot this time, with Li Dao by his side, Lu Bu's harvest was limited, so he would not suddenly swell too much.
For Lu Bu, this great drama of the Northern Expedition Xianbei has come to an end, the eastern Xianbei has already surrendered, the essence of the central Xianbei has been buried by Kebineng personally, and the western Xianbei has experienced a series of battles, and it can basically be removed. The strategic objectives of the Northern Expedition to Xianbei were all completed.
He had already sent a good news to Shang Ji, congratulating Shang Ji on killing Kebi and capturing Tou Manchester City, and proposed a plan to withdraw troops in the letter.
Lu Bu can be regarded as an empty country expedition this time, the war has been going on for a few months, there is no army to suppress it, the big families in Wuyuan and other counties are ready to move, all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have begun to show their heads, and there are already signs of chaos in the rear.
If you don't hurry back to the division, it is estimated that there will be a big problem.
Shang Ji didn't stop him, although there was still the problem of Hou Luohou that had not been solved, but it had nothing to do with Lu Bu, and he couldn't help much, so he simply asked him to go back as soon as possible to consolidate himself.
In addition, Shang Ji also roughly delineated the sphere of influence in his reply, with Xianbei in the west to LΓΌ Bu, and Xianbei in the east and central to Pingzhou. As for Ding Yuan and Gongsun Zhan, the two had a tacit understanding and ignored them at the same time.
Of course, this division is only a very general division, and it is up to you whether you can keep it or not.
In fact, Shang Ji quietly left a trail in the division of forces. With Lu Bu's background, it would be good to be able to stabilize himself through this harvest, and if he wanted to form an effective rule over Xianbei in the west, it would be tantamount to a pipe dream.
Coming to harvest from time to time, scraping some land and collecting protection fees is the limit of what Lu Bujun can do. And once Shang Ji completes the task of soul return, he can take advantage of this gap to truly occupy the entire grassland.
At present, the biggest problem for Shang Ji is to catch or kill Tho Luo Hou!
It's been two days, and there are a lot of clues given by players, but there are few who are really reliable, and there are many who try to mix rewards.
After pondering for a while, Shang Ji was about to convene another meeting to discuss with everyone and see if there was any good way to quickly find Hou Luohou, when suddenly a system prompt sounded, which made Shang Ji stunned.
"Ding, congratulations to the player Shang Ji, you have successfully won the war of fortune. According to the actual battle situation, Kebi can die in battle, the main force of Xianbei will be completely wiped out, Kebi can effectively inherit the death, and the system will determine that you have successfully won the complete victory of the National Fortune War, the National Fortune War will end early, and the Xianbei National Fortune will be cleared and will die as a unified regime. β
"Ding, congratulations to the player Shang Ji, you have successfully won the national fortune war, after the system judgment, you and the Pingzhou army you led have played a role in turning the tide in this battle, and you will reap eighty percent of the national fortune!"
"Ding, congratulations to the player Shang Ji, your personal luck has been greatly improved, and the luck of Pingzhou under your rule has been greatly improved!"
"Ding, the whole district of Huaxia District announced that the Xianbei leader Kebi can die, the main force of Xianbei is wiped out, Xianbei has no effective heir, the Xianbei National Fortune War failed, and the National Fortune War ended early. Xianbei as a political entity was completely dissolved, the overall national fortunes of Huaxia District were greatly improved, and all the territories in the Dahan region entered a state of blessing and extension in the next three months.
[Blessing Extended]: In the next three months, all positive state effects such as administrative efficiency, production efficiency, construction efficiency, soldier training efficiency, and cultivation efficiency will be increased by 20%, and the speed of improving people's will, public order, and military morale will increase by 50%. The probability of all natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, plagues, floods, and locust plagues (including possible man-made spell-induced disasters) in the Dahan area will be reduced by 60%, and once disasters occur, the losses will be reduced by 50% on the original basis, and all alien races will not take the initiative to attack during this period. Countries outside the Huaxia Region are at war with the Huaxia District, and the morale of all armies in the Huaxia District will be increased by 20 points, and the overall combat strength will be increased by 10%. β
"Ding, the whole district of Huaxia District has announced, the Xianbei leader Kebi can die.................."
"Ding, the whole district of Huaxia District has announced, the Xianbei leader Kebi can die.................."
"Ding, the Pingzhou regional system announced that because the Pingzhou Mu and the Pingzhou Legion played a mainstay role in the Xianbei National Movement War, the effect of the Pingzhou Fuze Extended State was doubled, and the duration was doubled, that is, large-scale natural disasters were completely eliminated within six months, and the effect of all positive states was increased by 40%, and the speed of improvement of the military and people's hearts was increased by 100%."
"Ding, Pingzhou Regional System Notice, due to the ............ of Pingzhou Pastor and Pingzhou Legion"
"Ding, Pingzhou Regional System Notice, due to the ............ of Pingzhou Pastor and Pingzhou Legion"
"Ding, congratulations to the player Shang Ji, you have won the Xianbei National Fortune War, all attributes (except force) plus one, force increased by one product (currently 99 points of heaven-level lower grade), your luck has been greatly improved, and your special state Heavenly Blessing effect has been increased."
"Ding, congratulations to the player Shang Ji, you have successfully completed the SS-level task [Soul Returns], you have obtained the allegiance of the War Soul Legion, thirty-six Battle Spirit Tablets and three designated military general summoning charms (Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Guang) have been automatically put into your space equipment, please check for yourself!"
A series of system announcements directly stunned Shang Ji, and he stayed for a long time before he reacted.
"National Games...... Is the war of national fortunes over? After being stunned for a while, Shang Ji said to himself in disbelief. Hou Luohou, who gave him a headache, died inexplicably like this? This is how the battle of Xianbei ended?
In fact, Shang Ji was not the only one who was bombarded by the system, and the entire Huaxia District fell into an inexplicable frenzy.
The effect of this blessing covering the entire territory of the Han Dynasty is too strong, so strong that many large forces are a little at a loss.
Now it has been less than half a year since the outbreak of the national war, and all the super-large forces, especially Yanhuang and Yanhuang's subsidiary forces, are in full swing to prepare for war. This is also the reason why Yan Huang only sent the Suiyun Legion to symbolically help in the face of Shang Ji's request for help in the middle and late stages of the Xianbei War, and Yan Huang didn't have time to participate in the war at all!
But the three-month-long state of Fuze directly disrupted the entire preparation plan, and countless plans had to be redone, and Yan Huang's staff officers were now in pain and happy.
Even casual players and life players were overjoyed, all the positive effects were for everyone in Huaxia, including Inhuman, and the 20% effect increase was enough to make many production players cry.
The miserable appearance of the ordinary player group in the beacon fire is not understandable.
Before Shang Ji could finish checking the harvest of this system announcement, Chen Guan hurriedly came with a look of shock on his face.
"Lord, something is wrong!"
"Hahaha, is Bai Shou talking about the matter of Hou Luo Hou conferring the head? You're already aware of this, but you're slowing down! β
Shang Ji said excitedly, the character who had caused a headache for two days was inexplicably solved, Shang Ji was in a good mood, and even joked with Chen Guan.
"No, it's not this, there's something else!" Chen Guan took a breath and waved his hand repeatedly.
Shang Ji frowned, calmed down, and hurriedly asked, "What else happened?" β
"Lord Qiyu, Youzhou Thorn Shi Ding Yuan, he, he's dead!!"
"What?!"
Shang Ji suddenly stood up, his face changed greatly, and he asked urgently, "Is the news accurate?" When was this? How exactly did he die? β
"The news is accurate, this is the news released by the god (system) himself, and everyone in Youzhou knows it, and the time is just now! As for the specific situation, it is not clear for the time being, I have ordered the Thousand Illusions lurking in Ding Yuan's army to investigate, and there must be news soon! β
"I'm in trouble!"
Shang Ji sighed with a gloomy face, and then waved his hand and said, "Pass the order, and in a quarter of an hour, hold an emergency military meeting in the City Lord's Mansion." Bai Shou paid close attention to Ding Yuan's news, and also closely monitored Gongsun Zhan's movements. At the same time, let Qianhuan in the Youzhou area be vigilant, and report any disturbances immediately! β
"Yes, my lord!"
Shang Ji closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about the chain reaction caused by Ding Yuan's accidental death, and couldn't help but have a headache!
Although Pingzhou has officially split from Youzhou, the two are still closely linked. In the two states of Youping, Shang Ji dominated Pingzhou, and Gongsun Zan and Ding Yuan divided Youzhou, and the three-legged situation of Wei, Shu and Wu appeared in Youping in advance.
Shang Ji was naturally the most powerful Wei, while Ding Yuan and Gongsun Zan were Shu and Wu. In the face of Shang Ji, Ding Yuan and Gongsun Zhan were able to unite against Shang Ji, but the two intrigued internally, trying to dominate Youzhou.
In fact, Shang Ji was happy to see this situation come to pass, and he did not plan to go west for the time being. Gongsun Zan and Ding Yuan contain each other, and the situation is in the category of fighting but not breaking, which is very in line with Shang Ji's intentions.
After the national war, Pingzhou developed its internal strength, and then found an opportunity to wave Youzhou and occupy the entire Youzhou in one fell swoop, so that General Zhenbei's "supervising the military affairs of Youping and Pingzhou" lived up to its name.
But Ding Yuan's accidental death directly disrupted Shang Ji's plan, and without Ding Yuan's containment, Gongsun Chan could take down the entire Youzhou without much effort.
The unified Youzhou was a big trouble for Pingzhou, and although it could not threaten the security of Pingzhou itself, it also firmly blocked the road for Shangji's westward development.
If Yuan Shao or Han Fu were smarter and supported Gongsun Zhan, Shang Ji would have to spend a lot of money if he wanted to settle Gongsun Zhan's westward march into the Central Plains.
Moreover, the timing of Ding Yuan's death was very ingenious, the decisive battle between the Pingzhou army and the Xianbei army had just ended, and although Pingzhou won the victory, it was also greatly damaged, and it was impossible to use troops on a large scale in a short period of time. Even if you want to ignore the unspoken rules between the princes, you can't directly intervene by force.
