Chapter 1470: The new champion
Although Liu Ji agreed to send troops to help Liu Xiu, the premise was that the Chu army must defend Jiangling. Once the Chu army lost Jiangling, it would have no capital to fight against the Qin army, and Liu Ji could not really fight Qin for Liu Xiu. Hao was stunned.
Therefore, although Cao Shen's decision to withdraw his troops was an unauthorized move, it was completely correct. The Shu army had not withdrawn to Bajun when Liu Ji's withdrawal order came.
In Liu Ji's eyes, he was already interested in Liu Xiu. After all, he sent out 40,000 troops to help, but gained nothing and lost 5,000 soldiers and horses. Liu Xiu's own men were not strong enough and could not defend Jiangling. This was natural. Can't blame him.
Before Cao Shen withdrew his troops, he also said hello to Deng Yu. After all, he was still an ally, so it would be inappropriate not to say hello.
Deng Yu originally wanted to reap the benefits and watch the Shu army and the Qin army lose in a fight, but he did not expect that the Shu army was so cowardly that they came all the way to Jingzhou and ran away after only one battle.
Deng Yu quickly sent envoys from Kuai and Yue to lobby Cao Shen, hoping that Cao Shen would not retreat so quickly, and that it would not be too late to withdraw when the King of Shu's order arrived.
How could Cao Shen, a shrewd man like Cao Shen, not know Deng Yu's plan? He ignored Kuai Yue and ordered the entire army to retreat.
As Cao Shen expected, as soon as the Shu army withdrew, the Qin army came after them.
If Cao Shen hadn't been decisive enough and the Shu army hadn't run fast enough, once they were entangled by the Qin army, they really wouldn't be able to escape as fast as they wanted.
Deng Yu's heart was really dark, and he even plotted against his allies, but this time his plot failed, and Cao Shen did not fall into the trap.
The Shu army ran away, and the Chu army only had 15,000 defeated troops with low morale, as well as Zhijiang County, whose defense was not very strong. Confronting the Qin army was like hitting a stone with an egg.
So Deng Yu decisively led the entire army to withdraw into Jingnan, and at the same time left the entire Zhijiang City in the air, leaving even the old and the weak behind for Yue Fei. This also made Yue Fei grit his teeth but was helpless.
In the duel between Yue Fei and Deng Yu, Yue Fei won in the end. Although the process was not perfect, a win was a win.
[Ding dong, Yue Fei defeated Jiangling three times, and now he finally succeeded. The obsession in his heart is gone. Commander is permanently +1, force is permanently +1, and charm is permanently +1. The current five dimensions of Yue Fei are: commander 101, force 104, intelligence 93, politics 53 , Charm 99;]
Qin Hao was stunned after seeing this prompt. He never expected that a mere Nanjun would bring such a big improvement to Yue Fei. If he had known about it earlier, Qin Hao would not have waited until now.
"The failure to attack Jiangling twice in a row actually made Jiangling become Yue Fei's obsession. This is really..."
Qin Hao didn't know how to describe it, but it was enough to see that the famous general's self-esteem was really strong.
"Now Yue Fei's basic command has reached 101, and his command after activating his skills is 102. When it comes to leading the army in battle, he has no rival in the south.
In addition, Yue Fei's military power has also reached the peak level of a divine general. He may be able to compete with a super general in the future, and he is not afraid of the enemy sending assassins to assassinate him.
With Yue Fei in charge of Jingbei, Jingzhou is absolutely safe. "Qin Hao said to himself with a smile.
"Yue Fei has made great contributions in taking Nanjun, so he must be injured, but his brain is too crazy, and he still opposes me becoming king, so I have to give him a beating."
Looking at the battle report in his hand, Qin Hao pondered for a while and said to himself: "In that case, let the father accept the merits of the son. Just give Yue Fei a one-level promotion, and give Yue Fei's son Yue Yun a three-level promotion.
By the way, in the battle in Nanjun, Yue Yun didn't seem to even have any weapons at his disposal, and his war horses were just two ordinary horses. I'm really sorry for his basic strength of 104.
System, how many magic weapon cards and mount cards do I still have in my hand? "
[The host currently has 11 magic weapon cards and 11 mount cards. 】
"That's it, let's use them all."
These weapon cards and mount cards were all saved by Qin Hao little by little. Most of them came from the rewards from the unified state. Qin Hao had no use keeping them. He couldn't use them all to reward his subordinates.
[Okay, congratulations to the host for getting the magic weapon: Tianlong city-breaking halberd, golden dragon sky-breaking hammer, white caltrop plum blossom spear...
Famous horses: Sa Lu Zi, Teller Piao, Chi Ji, Pirate Li...]
11 magic weapon cards and 11 mount cards directly allowed Qin Hao to obtain 22 important pieces of equipment, which made Qin Hao dazzled.
"Hey, there really are magic weapons like hammers. In that case, let's reward Yue Yun with this Golden Dragon Sky-Splitting Hammer and the famous horse Sa Lu Zi."
Yue Yun was rewarded with one soldier and one cavalry, and Qin Hao still had 20 of them in his hands. Although there were still many people under him who were not ready to go, he was in no hurry to disperse them all immediately. After all, each of these magic soldiers and famous horses was It's so precious. If it can be obtained so easily, wouldn't the price drop?
Therefore, Qin Hao planned to reward them to meritorious generals and those generals whose basic military strength exceeded 100.
At the court meeting the next day, when the news came out that Yue Fei had captured Nanjun, all the officials were immediately excited. Qin Hao also asked Yue Fei to be granted the title of General Zhennan and Marquis of Yiling.
From then on, Yue Fei was finally granted the title of marquis, and he became the fifth person under Qin Hao to be granted the title of marquis after Bai Qi, Wang Meng, Huo Qubing, and Jia Fu.
Although there were many capable people under Qin Hao, there were only a few who had enough merit to be granted the title of marquis. Even Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Li Jing, Zhuge Liang and others were not enough.
The reason why Huo Qubing and Jia Fu could be granted the title of marquis was because one of them led the army out of the fortress and came back alive, and the other killed Emperor Temujin of the Yuan Dynasty. Both of them had made great contributions, and both of them were enough to be granted the title of marquis.
It is worth mentioning that Jia Fu and Huo Qubing were both champions in original history.
There were two champions in this world, namely Qin Hao and Li Shimin.
Qin Hao suspected that if two people were given the title of Champion Marquis, a certain achievement would probably be activated. However, there was only one title of Champion Marquis, so there was some hesitation between the two.
The balance in Qin Hao's heart was slightly tilted towards Jia Fu. After all, Jia Fu was not only a member of his own family but also a super general. Unexpectedly, Jia Fu took the initiative to decline, saying that he no longer wanted to be in the limelight.
Qin Hao knew as soon as he heard that it was Jia Xu's attention. Jia Xu must have thought about protecting Jia Fu, so Jia Fu came to voluntarily resign from the title of Champion Marquis.
Although Qin Hao intended to give the title of Marquis to Jia Fu, Jia Fu didn't want it himself and he couldn't force it, so he gave the title of Marquis to Huo Qubing.
After Huo Qubing was awarded the title of Champion, as expected, he inspired the achievements of 'Champion'. His basic force is permanently +1, his basic charm is permanently +1, and the five dimensions have reached: 100, force 104, intelligence 81, politics 62, and charisma 100;
At this point, Qin Hao has six peak generals: Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Pei Yuanqing, Huo Qubing, Yue Fei, and Yue Yun.
