Chapter 558: Connecting Horizontal and Vertical
Reaching a tacit consensus with Cao Cao, Lu Yao began the next step.
Led by Lan Mantong, Black Tiger Mountain and many other Jiuli Mandao Datong responded, and the Jiuli Mandao lords of the entire territory of Zhuya Prefecture were invited to Xanadu City.
The wedding is over, and the players who came to join in the fun are gone. Liu Bei and Cao Cao also returned separately. Xanadu City followed closely by the Jiuli Barbarian Lords.
For Xanadu City, the lords of each mountain love and hate.
At the beginning, the people from Xanadu City did not refuse, and they wantonly begged for prisoners, so that each mountain made a lot of money and lived a good life. However, it is also because of Xanadu City, the Jiuli Barbarian Pass that once spread all over Zhuya Prefecture has now decreased by at least thirty percent. Those losers were swallowed up by the various mountains, especially the big ones led by the Blue Barbarian Mountain. The southwest to southeast of Zhuya was basically annexed.
The wolf's ambition is obvious.
It is clear that it is to control the raze with razing, and divide and disintegrate the Jiuli barbarians. Who doesn't know that Lan Mantong and many other big mountains have become lackeys of Xanadu City, proper Jiuli barbarian traitors.
However, this time, Lan Mantong and many other big mountains jointly invited each mountain, and the owners of the mountains were reluctant to come. The wolf son of Xanadu City is ambitious, but the benefits are not discounted.
Who wants too many benefits?
In this Jiuli Man Conference, Lu Yao did not come forward, and completely handed it over to Fu Hu and other lords. The message conveyed is also very simple, that is, to tell other owners that there may be a big deal soon, and if you don't hurry up and prepare, you won't have this store if you miss this village. When the time comes, don't say that we don't care about the friendship of our kindred race, we just know that we will be rich, I will tell you.
When the lords learned that a big deal was about to come to the door, they immediately geared up.
The wealth of the paradise city is obvious to all. The previous transactions were also fair and fair, except for the last wave of deals, everything else was okay, a proper good employer.
However, recently, the players in Zhuyazhou are gone, and they have no income, and they sit and eat all day long, and the spokespersons of each mountain have said that they are under great pressure, and they don't even have the heart to play with exquisite porcelain and silk that is more delicate than the skin of beautiful women. There are several more gray hairs, don't believe me.
The owners who participated in the meeting immediately got a price list, Fu Hu said that the paradise city is righteous, friends have come to all kinds of benefits, and enemies have come to all kinds of waist knives, bows and arrows, and vaguely said that you must not make mistakes and do not say anything unexpected.
The lord of each mountain said that our Jiuli Man is also righteous, whoever dares to invade Xanadu City, that is the mortal enemy of the entire Jiuli Man, do not die, do not rob him of the essence, that is sorry for friends, sorry for brothers.
The Jiuliman Conference was held in a grand ceremony and ended in a solemn manner. The lords of the mountains returned with carts and carts of grain and grass with satisfaction. There is a lot of grain in the paradise city, and the grain and grass are cheap.
After listening to Fu Hu's report, the corners of Lu Yao's mouth hooked up an arc.
Even horizontal and vertical.
hooked up with Cao Cao, and then pulled the Jiuli Barbarians onto his own warship, with Cao Cao's strong reinforcement outside, and Jiuli Barbarian Mountains inside, and the Xanadu Sailor in the middle to control the sea power, Zhuya Prefecture was basically stable.
Immediately after Lu Yao, he began to expand his army.
There are already two million sailors, and there is no need to expand the army for the time being, and it is useless to have more. And the army mere 500,000 is still not enough. Aside from the defenders guarding various places, the 100,000 southern barbarians led by the vulture bones, and the 200,000 Xiliang iron cavalry under the newly subjugated Ma Chao, the total of 300,000 mobile troops is still slightly insufficient compared to future wars.
After all, it is a super-large battle on the main map, involving the entire territory of Huaxia District. The 300,000 mobile troops are like a string of copper coins thrown into the sea, and they can be heard. If you count the big variable of the half-immortal, I'm afraid that it won't be enough to hear it.
Lu Yao considered it again and again, and first expanded the scale of the barbarian army led by the vulture bone to 300,000. At present, there are more than 5 million people in the whole territory of Xanadu City, and the dispatch of 200,000 more elite barbarians will not make the Nanban tribes hurt.
Secondly, Ma Dai was separated from Ma Chao's tent and recruited 100,000 cavalry as a supplement. The addition of 100,000 cavalry, although the consumption is not small, but the cavalry is highly mobile and lethal, which is quite suitable for taking the initiative. After all, it is impossible to limit the battlefield to the interior of Zhuya Prefecture.
Anyone who has the conditions will not want the flames of war to spread on someone else's territory.
In this way, the total number of mobile troops in Xanadu City is 600,000, and the total strength of the troops has reached 1 million, including the defenders from all over the country. The total strength of the Second Army reached 3 million.
Lu Yao determined the plan for the expansion of the army, but he was still not satisfied.
The title of rebel is gone, but the time is too short after all, there is a population base of 400 million, and the emergence of talents is far from enough. He hopes to replace Zhao Yun and other top generals and many second- and third-rate celebrities to serve as the main force in the Battle of Chibi.
The more chess pieces in his hand, the more comfortable he can be as a chess player.
Facing three and a half immortals as opponents, the pressure is huge.
On the other hand, the hermit and the thief have reached a consensus.
Xanadu City will serve as a stable rear for everyone, with full support from all parties, stepping up the acquisition of important strategic resources needed by Lu Yao, and then continuously transporting them to Zhuya through Zhen Yan and other chambers of commerce.
Everything seems to be going in a good direction, but that's an extravagant hope.
The first bad news came was that Sun Quan of Eastern Wu succeeded to the throne and became the lord of Eastern Wu, and then at the instigation of Yu Ji, he issued a message, claiming that he wanted to avenge his father and brother and personally ask King Zhuya for an explanation.
I eat sweet potatoes in Yangzhou, and I expressed helplessness in a private message.
Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu proved that Yu Ji was the real murderer to no avail, but was angrily reprimanded by Sun Quan for being bewitched by King Zhuya, ignoring the righteousness of the monarch and ministers and the friendship of friends, and wanted to take refuge in King Zhuya, so the two were beaten into the cold palace, left from the position of the main general, and replaced by newcomers.
followed by a private message from the moonlit stars in Yizhou.
Liu Bei euphemistically expressed regret, claiming that both sides need to be restrained, need to be calm, and do not let the real murderer succeed, and at the same time said that the real murderer was determined, even if it was King Zhuya, Xishu would ask for an explanation for Sun Jian's father and son, who died innocently.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Western Shu, made a high-profile envoy to Eastern Wu and brought condolences from Emperor Xian and Liu Bei. Sun Quan expressed his relief, claiming that his orphans and widows would never give in to the evil forces.
The only good news was that Cao Cao publicly stated that the demon Yu Ji was demonic and deliberately framed the king of Zhuya, and asked Sun Quan not to make mistakes to avoid causing death.
"Cao Cao is trying to make trouble." The hermit sent a private message.
Lu Yao laughed. If you don't take the opportunity to make trouble, it won't be Cao Cao.
Sure enough, Cao Cao's public statement caused Sun Quan to be furious, and he immediately started further talks with Zhuge Liang, who was sent to Eastern Wu. Subsequently, the two sides jointly issued a document, claiming that Cao Cao was a rebel against the country, and he was in collusion with King Zhuya, and he was embarrassed, and the world should discuss it.
Cao Cao then issued a document condemning Sun and Liu for being bewitched by demons and bewitching them, and it was unjust to blatantly start a war regardless of the lives of the people, and at the same time said that he would join forces with King Zhuya to clear the monarch and set things right.
The battle of Chibi is about to break out.
