Chapter 1166: Ascending to the King of Chu

Lu Su and Zhang Zhao glanced at each other and nodded, at this time, there was nothing to do, even if Sun Quan wanted to fight, the Jiangdong family would not support it. If Sun Quan surrenders, he can also ensure the safety of Ronghua and his family. That's the last thing they can do.

At this time, Sun Quan was not yet an adult, so they went to meet Sun Ce and Sun Quan's mother, Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu said: "Now that I understand the situation, since this is the case, then let's go down!"

She is different from ordinary women, she is extraordinary, and she is extremely rational, and she knows what to do to benefit the Sun family.

Immediately, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhu Heng and other important ministers resigned and left.

Subsequently, Ling Feng integrated Jiaozhou, and led an army of five million to attack Jiangdong, but before the army reached Jiangdong, Sun Quan's surrender table was sent.

Ling Feng was also quite surprised by this, but he did not treat Sun Quan and them badly, and still retained Sun Quan's title of Marquis of Wu, and other important civil and military ministers were not stingy with rewards.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's army was confronting Huang Zhong's army, and suddenly heard the news of Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, and immediately retreated.

Huang Zhong did not pursue easily and continued to sit in Hanzhong.

Not long after, Ling Feng's army of five million entered Jiangdong and began to take over Jiangdong in an all-round way, installing his own people to hold key positions, as for the people of Jiangdong, they are not useless, but they are only key departments such as military power, money and food, and they must seize their own hands. These Jiangdong families only care about their own interests and are capricious. If Cao Cao unifies the Central Plains, these Jiangdong families may have to take refuge in each other. Therefore, the Jiangdong region must strengthen supervision and control to put out the turmoil in the cradle. He was going to mobilize a large number of people from the Blue Dragon Society, the Vermilion Bird Hall, and the Six Gates.

This was followed by the reorganization of the army, this time capturing more than 300,000 Jiangdong soldiers and 200,000 Jiaozhou soldiers. Ling Feng scattered and scattered their establishment, among which the 100,000 wood and 100,000 earth Dao soldiers in Jiaozhou were included in the Blue Dragon Legion and the Qilin Legion respectively, and the other more than 300,000 water and gold Dao soldiers were included in the Xuanwu and White Tiger Legions, and then more than 300,000 Dao soldiers were transferred to the Shura Blood Secret Method, and 90,000 warrior-level elite soldiers were incorporated into the Shura Blood Guard, given blood seeds, transferred to the Shura Blood Secret Method, and formed four new legions, with Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Wen Ping as the commanders of the legion, teaching the complete version of the Shura Blood Recipe, and giving the name Sun, Taiyin, celestial phase, heavenly mansion.

The Shura Blood Guard is the main force of Ling Feng's conquest of the world, and Huang Zhong and the other four can serve as the commander of the Shura Blood Guard, representing that they have passed Ling Feng's test, and they will not be stingy with rewards in the future. But in the same way, the Shura Blood Guard they were in charge of was also completely mastered by Ling Feng because of the blood race, and it was impossible to betray it again.

In addition, because of their transfer, the three of Baihu, Xuanwu, and Suzaku returned to serve as the commanders of the three major legions. In addition, Huang Zu, Han Xuan, Cai Mao and others were also transferred out to serve as observer envoys and other official positions, and were no longer in charge of the army, but they were rewarded with knighthoods.

Through a series of appointments, Ling Feng firmly grasped the military power in his hands. In addition, with the expansion of the scale of Dao soldiers, it has been difficult for the Legion Commander of the Great Grandmaster's peak cultivation to exert the full power of five or six hundred thousand Dao soldiers. Therefore, Ling Feng raised the cultivation of the twelve army commanders, such as the Seven Kills, the Broken Army, the Greedy Wolf, the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, and the Wenpin, to the realm of heaven and man, helping them to condense the primordial spirit.

At this time, Ling Feng had 2.5 million Dao soldiers under his command, 300,000 troops of the Five Elements Legion, a total of 1.5 million, and the Ten Legions of the Shura Blood Guard, a total of 1 million. Ling Feng was stationed in Hanzhong with 300,000 Vermilion Bird Legions, and 300,000 Qinglong Legions were located in Chengdu and could support at any time. The 300,000 White Tiger Legion is located in Wancheng, Nanyang, and the 300,000 Xuanwu Legion is located in Xiangyang, and they can join forces at any time. 500,000 Shura Blood Guards are sitting in Jiangxia, and 500,000 Shura Blood Guards are stationed in Jiangdong, and they can support each other at any time. The last 300,000 Qilin legions sat in Jiaozhou.

With the mobilization of large armies in place, the defense of the four southern states immediately increased greatly, and the people's hearts were stable and their luck was stable.

As for the ordinary army that year, it also made certain adjustments, focusing on breaking up the elite establishment of Jiangdong, and most of them were scattered into the Jingzhou army. Then a large number of Jingzhou troops were mobilized into Jiangdong, and the Yizhou army entered Jiaozhou and Jingzhou.

Subsequently, Ling Feng made a series of personnel appointments, giving the Jiangdong family many official hats and stabilizing the heart of the Jiangdong family.

In this way, even if Sun Quan wanted to rebel, few people followed.

At this time, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others came to the table one after another, asking Ling Feng to enter the king's number. Such as the king of Hanzhong, such a two-character king is just the king of a place, and further is the one-word king, not the so-called prince of later generations, but such as the pure Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants, the Warring States Seven Heroes General King title, that is, the monarch.

Ling Feng excused himself three times before agreeing, and then called him the king of Chu and divided the hundred officials.

This is still thanks to Yuan Shu's claim to be the emperor, which has damaged the remnants of the Han Dynasty, otherwise there are still some twists and turns for him to be the king, but at this time, no one objected.

And the choice of the king is also exquisite, the king of Shu, the king of Wu, the king of Yue, all have certain limitations, only the king of Chu, is once with Liu Bang to compete for the world, although defeated, but the pattern of the king is no longer confined to one place. Moreover, this king name caters to the Jingzhou and Jiangdong families, which helps to condense luck.

However, the antagonism between Chu and Han, and the diehard loyalists of some Han will definitely be more inclined to Cao Cao, but it is inevitable.

Ling Feng sat in Xiangyang and concentrated on cultivating, while Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others concentrated on training the Shura Blood Guard, practicing battle formations, and condensing battle spirits.

And a large number of refiners also began to refine weapons and battle armor above the top grade magic weapon level for the expanded Dao Soldier Legion.

And not long after, the news of Yuan Shu's defeat in Shouchun City came.

Ling Feng immediately ordered Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Wen Ping, and Lian Zhen to lead 500,000 Shura blood guards, as well as an army of 5 million to attack large areas of Yuzhou such as Runan.

Yuan Shu was originally going to return to Runan's lair, but when he heard the news, he had to garrison Lujiang.

At this time, Yuan Shu was defeated, and the contradictions between Cao Cao, Liu Qing, and Lu Bu broke out. Lü Bu was secretly provoked by Cao Cao and led his army to withdraw first, wanting to steal Xuzhou.

However, Liu Qing had already taken precautions, and his cronies were arranged in Xuzhou City, and he killed the traitor Cao Bao to block his sneak attack.

Subsequently, Liu Qing returned to Xuzhou City and broke with Lü Bu.

At this time, Cao Cao sent a large army to attack Xiaopei, where Lü Bu was, and Lü Bu felt that Liu Qing would not save him, so he went out of the city and surrendered.

Then, Cao Cao sent Lü Bu and the general Xiahoudun to lead an army of eight million to attack Xuzhou, all the way to Xuzhou.

Liu Qing had no choice but to ask Ling Feng for help, hoping that Ling Feng would save him once for the sake of his past face.

Without waiting for his message for help to arrive, Ling Feng had already sent five people, Seven Kills, Broken Army, Greedy Wolf, Wuqu, and Jumen, to lead 500,000 Shura Blood Guards, and five million troops to cross the river to rescue Xuzhou.
