Chapter 398: Tsuchiguma
eng. He plans to start counting the spoils immediately."Coach Lu, do we still have a chance" Fatty joked. Anyway, he thought winning or losing didn't really matter; it was just like a trip."Hey, Fatty...Lu Ban, along with Huo Qubing and Zhao Yun, went to study military talismans.
Jia Xu and Lü Cheng were still seated under the sundial.
A pine cone fell onto Jia Xu's head. Jia Xu slowly picked up the pine cone.
He always felt that when Zhuge Liang spoke of the First Emperor and the Seven Stars, he must have been plotting something.
Lu Cheng, who traversed numerous dynasties, was the sealed Moon God.
From the Qin Dynasty onwards, the Hundred Schools of Thought revived, and the Han Dynasty has not yet fallen. The current era's power is extremely strong.
Under the support of Baijia, legendary warriors take the stage to compete, this is a world full of beautiful fantasy.
Zhuge Liang, Ying Zheng.
What were they originally trying to do
"General Lu, no matter what, let's retreat first."
Luoyang has fallen, and Cao Cao has retreated southward, adopting a strategy of feigning retreat to advance. [Qianji City] has quietly withdrawn to the forests near Hanzhong.
The whole earth seemed like a tightly stretched string.
After Liu Bei's forces entered Sichuan, the corruption of the Yizhou Group saw a slight improvement.
Ma Teng has completely broken with Cao Cao.
While Governor Zhou Yu of East River led his naval forces, he faced off against Liu Biao along the river.
Jia Xu's strategy ultimately matched that of Cao Ying's counselors, leaving the situation in a stalemate when the final cards were revealed. Everyone knew that the entire land had fallen into a complete standstill.
The stars are out tonight.
Cao Cao was under the Bronze Sparrow Platform, holding a cup of wine.
"Zhongda, the defeat at Xinye was due to our army's lack of sharpness. I believe we are at a disadvantage. What is your opinion"
"Xinye at most is a draw, Your Lordship has not been defeated." The man standing respectfully beside him bowed, it was Sima Yi.
There were many people in Cao Cao's camp who supported the Han Dynasty, including Xun Yu. Although Sima Yi had a "wolfish" appearance, he was actually very talented and loyal to Cao Cao. So after Cao Cao retreated on all fronts, he put Sima Yi back to work.
"Lu Cheng, Huo Qubing, Lu Bu, which one isn't a legendary general They are a thorn in my side. If I don't take care of them, I won't be able to sleep soundly." Cao Cao placed his wine cup on the table.
"Prime Minister, once the war begins, our army, along with Lü Cheng's Yulin Army, Xiliang Army, and Liu Bei and Liu Zhang's Yizhou Army, will engage in a decisive battle across two states. Simultaneously, a naval battle will erupt on the rivers. The current situation is a powder keg." Sima Yi said.
"Jia Xu is a master manipulator, extremely skilled at using schemes to control people. Even during the time of Li and Guo, his intentions were already suspect. Now that the situation has developed as it has, manipulating Liangzhou and Yizhou is impossible." Cao Cao shook his head.
But it was still discovered too late. I didn't expect that Lu Cheng and Jia Xu had been in Luoyang for several years, doing nothing on the surface, but secretly playing three trump cards behind the scenes.
It's just that I have become two now.
"
“Prime Minister, I have something to say, but I don’t know if it is appropriate,” Sima Yi pondered.
"
"Speak!" Cao Cao waved his hand, motioning for Sima Yi to continue.
"In order to prepare for war, taxes have been increased by 70%, and even Xiliang has reached the unprecedented level of 75% for official fields! If this continues, war will break out within three years."
Cao Cao nodded. The people's tax burden was indeed heavy. When the situation became extremely tense, there would inevitably be a war.
What do you think our chances of winning are
"Zero percent!" Sima Yi declared resolutely.
"Oh" Cao Cao did show some surprise, turning his head to look at Sima Yi.
"I believe that our army, after subduing Liangzhou and Yizhou, and then marching south again, will have a probability of victory exceeding ninety percent. But," Sima Yi said, "this cannot be called winning!"
"Unifying the world, can't that be called winning" Cao Cao frowned. This Sima Yi, isn't he drunk
"Prime Minister, let me tell you a story," Sima Yi declared resolutely. "Historical records state that during the Qin Dynasty, General Lü Cheng went out to sea in search of immortality. On his return journey, he encountered the Moon God invading from beyond the Pass. He led his army to meet the Xiongnu Moon God in the northern deserts. After the war, he disappeared for several hundred years. When Emperor Wu's reign came, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dwindled, and the Xiongnu returned with renewed vigor, attacking on three sides. As the world was facing a crisis, Lü Cheng reappeared."
Cao Cao took a sip of wine.
This is common knowledge. Wei Qing guarded Liangzhou, and the Northern Army of Weiyang was absent. Generals Huo Qubing and Lü Cheng led their troops in a campaign spanning over three thousand miles, fighting from the surface to the depths, from the south of the desert to the north, and even reaching the Yue Shen Temple under the command of the Imperial Guards. They destroyed the core of the Xiongnu faith and, after performing the ceremony of sealing and consecrating their victory, the world was engulfed in a hundred years of war before finally settling down.
What do you want to say
"Lü Cheng was a general of Qin, not Han. Huo Qubing served Emperor Wu, not Emperor Xian. Their actions don't add up. I wonder, is the Moon God gone Is Lü Cheng a disciple of an immortal Is there some connection between them" Sima Yi paused: "Dare I speculate, are there things we don't know about, outside our understanding Is there a larger world"
"Go on!" Cao Cao's expression became serious.
"I can't go on any longer, Your Majesty. Someone else should take over!" Sima Yi suddenly declared loudly.
"Who"
"Riding on the wind, General Lu Cheng personally arrives!"
Lu Cheng was thinking, how could he defeat Cao Cao, end the chaotic world, and get the winning points.
The Seventh Master promised that as long as he could do it, he would give himself a card
As it seems now.
It's very difficult.
Cao Cao was indeed no ordinary man. Even Jia Xu's schemes against him couldn't succeed completely. Under the circumstances, Cao Cao bravely cut off his own arm, decisively abandoning the plan to advance south, and instead ignited war with Jiangdong.
With the preparation for war, the burden on the people throughout the land has become even heavier.
The Western Han Dynasty fell due to the interference of powerful relatives in government and the excessive strength of local powers. Now, everyone is focused on war, exhausting our resources.
After joining Qianjicheng, the Farm Family's decree also fell into Lu Cheng's hands.
Lu Cheng issued the Farming Decree, and on the back of Kun, 【Qianji City】's Lingtian expanded, increasing its yield to be able to produce two Jinling Qi Cards per year.
But Lu Cheng knew this was using up the giant Kun's magical power and precious 【Light Element Energy】. There weren't that many Angel-type cards for the giant Kun to consume!
In other words, 【Qianjicheng】 is also in a state of preparing for war and employing all available military resources.
Finally, Lü Cheng and Jia Xu came to a consensus that this battle truly couldn't be fought!
"General Lu, we should write another letter and send it to Xuchang," Jia Xu had just finished saying.
Hua Xiong then walked in.
"General, Mr. Jia, Cao Cao has arrived! He couldn't find the location of Qianji City, but I captured him!"
Your card 【Hua Xiong】 discovered a card.
"Oh" Lu Cheng turned his head. "Cao Cao is here Who is this person"
"He said his name was Sima Yi"tory. The remaining resources will be destroyed in an instant.Humans will be trapped to death in a planetary prison, forever lacking the resources to venture into the stars."Unexpectedly, our nation's...
