Chapter 1161: Kuailiang's Poison Plan
In the afternoon of the next day, Ling Feng led his army back to Tanzhou City, and at this time, news from Nanyang Road and Hanzhong Road came one after another.
First of all, Nanyang Dao, 200,000 of the three million army led by Ji Ling were Taoist soldiers, and they were strong, and they conquered seven or eight states one after another at the beginning.
Subsequently, the Seven Kills and Broken Army led 200,000 Shura blood guards to arrive, combined with Zhang Lu's 50,000 Dao soldiers and Nanyang Dao's 3 million state and county soldiers, defeated Ji Ling, beheaded Yuan Shu's general Lei Shu, beheaded nearly 500,000, and captured more than 2 million.
In the end, the three million army led by Ji Ling only escaped back with more than 200,000 people, of which more than half of the Taoist soldiers were lost.
After this battle, the Shura Blood Guard absorbed enough essence and blood vitality, and its strength increased again, and the ordinary Shura Blood Guard basically reached the peak of the middle congenital stage, and its strength was once again raised to a higher level.
The second was the battle of Hanzhong Dao, Hua Xiong only brought two million troops, and everyone thought that this time was just Dong Zhuo's tentative attack. However, the real situation is that Hua Xiong brought 200,000 Dao soldiers-level Flying Bear Army here, and their strength was terrifying!
Although the White Tiger Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion are also at the Dao soldier level, with 200,000 people, they are not a cultivation attribute, and the power of the battle spirit condensed by the two cannot be superimposed, and if they really fight, they are not the opponent of the 200,000 Flying Bear Army at all.
Fortunately, the greedy wolf came. Although he only brought 100,000 Shura blood guards, it included 10,000 grandmaster-level Shura guards. After the expansion of the Shura Blood Guard, the 90,000 Shura guards were dispersed into four legions, but 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 Guards was several times stronger than that of the 100,000 Dao soldiers, plus the other 90,000 Shura Blood Guards above the mid-innate level, the increase was much higher than that of the 200,000 Flying Bear Army. What's more, there are 200,000 Dao soldiers such as White Tiger and Vermilion Bird.
In this battle, Hua Xiong lost very badly, not only was he injured by the greedy wolf knife and broke an arm, but the Flying Bear Army under his command lost nearly half, and as for the ordinary army, it has been wiped out.
After this battle, the 90,000 ordinary Shura Blood Guards devoured a lot of essence and blood vitality, and their cultivation basically reached the late stage of the Innate Stage, and the strength of the Shura Guards also improved slightly.
At this time, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce were all repulsed, and Ling Feng could finally breathe a sigh of relief. When it comes to war, he is not afraid of anyone. However, Jingzhou has only just been brought under his rule, and it must go through a period of recuperation and stabilize people's hearts before it can be completely controlled.
However, although he was not ready for a big war during this time. But there are still some plans to be made in advance, such as the conquest of Jiangdong.
Immediately, he summoned Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Yi Yuan, Liu Ba, Huang Quan, Zhang Song, Fa Zhen and other strategists to discuss the matter. He did not directly state his attitude and plan, but asked: "Now that Sun Ce in Jiangdong is plotting my Jingzhou, causing the people of Changsha Province to be slaughtered, I want to raise five million troops, destroy Sun Ce, and seize Yangzhou, what do you think?"
Zhang Song said: "Now that Sun Ce has lost 200,000 Dao soldiers, he has lost his arms, he has lost his tiger generals, and his strength has been greatly damaged, he is no longer afraid, he can attack him!"
Huang Quan's face changed, and he persuaded: "By all means, the lord's foundation is not stable now, and if he rashly captures Jiangdong, there must be many hidden dangers!"
Ling Feng looked at Huang Quangao a little bit in his heart, but then looked at Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.
Both of them nodded, and Kuai Yue said: "What Gongheng said is reasonable, the battle in the world is not about the victory or defeat of the moment, but about the foundation. Now, the lord of Xinnajingzhou should accept the heart of the wealthy family, stabilize the foundation, train Taoist soldiers, and accumulate strength. Jiangdong really wants to take it, but it will have to be delayed for two or three years. ”
Ling Feng listened to it and said with a smile: "What the different degrees said is very true, but Jiangdong is rich, and the strength of the wealthy family cannot be underestimated, if the major families fully support it, within three years, Sun Ce's strength will inevitably recover, and even become stronger." So, we have to prepare early. I have two captives here, named Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng, both of whom are fierce generals in Jiangdong, and they plan to make Sun Ce pay a certain price to ransom people back, what do you think?"
Kuai Yue pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said: "The lord is planning to offer a price far beyond the value of these captives themselves, so that Sun Ce can't agree, as long as we do a little publicity, it will definitely chill the soldiers under his command." This is a heart-to-heart plan, and it is indeed feasible. However, this price must be set higher, otherwise even if he endures the pain, Sun Ce will exchange the captives back and buy people's hearts. ”
Ling Feng smiled: "The price is indeed not low, 100,000 bottles of Guyuan Dan!"
Everyone present gasped. Gu Yuan Dan, as the name suggests, is an elixir used by a newly advanced Grandmaster powerhouse to stabilize the True Yuan. But in this era, there are not many types of pills, and this kind of Guyuan Dan is also often used to help the acquired supreme masters to open the entrance, communicate the aura of heaven and earth, and break through the innate realm. If the cultivator's own qualifications are outstanding, basically only one pill is enough, and if the qualifications are worse, three or five pills are enough.
There are nine pills in a bottle of Gu Yuan Dan, and 100,000 bottles of Gu Yuan Dan can cultivate at least 200,000 Dao soldiers, not to mention that Sun Ce can't take it out, even if he can take it, this kind of thing will definitely not be done.
At this time, Kuai Liang suddenly said: "Hearing the lord's strategy, an idea also appeared in my heart, I don't know if it is feasible or not?"
Ling Feng smiled: "Zirou can just speak out!"
Kuai Liang said: "We can send a large army into Jiangdong and threaten to retaliate." Then you can send a message to Jiangdong, if you want to negotiate peace, you must send Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao to Jingzhou. With the temperament of the Jiangdong family, I will definitely agree to this matter. Even the Han Dynasty made peace with the Xiongnu all the year round in order to stabilize the border. can save the Jiangdong crisis with a woman, how could they not allow it. But with Sun Ce's character, he would never agree. Zhou Yu is his right-hand man, brother and brother, Zhou Yu has just died, how can he give his wife away? In this way, there will inevitably be a rift in the relationship between the two sides. ”
Ling Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Zirou's plan is indeed good, but in this way, Benzhou Mu also has to bear the reputation of being greedy for flowers and lustful, which can be regarded as a mixed bag." What do you think?"
Everyone glanced at Ling Feng and stopped talking, but Fa Zhen suddenly said: "Lord, you led the Shura Blood Guard, killed millions of enemy troops, and now your reputation is already a murderous butcher, Hell Shura!
Ling Feng's face stiffened slightly, no wonder this group of guys wanted to stop talking, it turned out that their reputation had been so bad. This is a lot of debt, and it can't be bad anyway. Immediately, he coughed and said, "In that case, this matter will be done!"
