Following Liu Xu's order, the army that had been dormant for more than three months began to take action again.
Zhou Yu said that Liu Xu can now mobilize an army of tens of millions, but this is not the case, because this time Liu Xu's reading power has increased by almost 5 times, so the total number of troops that Liu Xu can mobilize has reached an astonishing 20 million. People.
And if all the troops are replaced by the most rubbish Qingzhou Army, Liu Xu can even mobilize an army of hundreds of millions. The number of this army is already greater than the total population of Zhou State.
What is even more speechless is that because these armies are all reflection creatures, these armies do not need food or equipment supplies, and their morale is always at full level when fighting without fear of death.
Regardless of whether it is a prince or a general, as long as Liu Xu does not die, there is no possibility of this army collapsing. From an army level, this is indeed an invincible army.
So when such an army began to launch attacks in four surrounding directions at the same time, almost no city could mount a decent resistance.
Although there was a precedent in Gongsun Province, the major caste families did not try to recruit their own troops. At most, they just entangled some hunters together, and then rushed out to counterattack.
The personal strength of these hunters far exceeds that of the individual soldiers. Each hunter actually killed 10 times or even a hundred times more soldiers than himself. But after all, they are not an army, just a group of stragglers. In the end, they can only The army used various methods to turn them into corpses on the ground, and finally fled in confusion.
At the same time, under Liu Xu's order, the armies from all directions did not rush to swallow up the entire province. Instead, they went to the provincial capital in chronological order and then launched an siege. At the same time, Yin Xi also had to follow Liu Xu's request. Go to each provincial capital one after another to help the armies from all sides capture the guardian admirals of each city.
This is because Liu Xu knows very well that the only force in each province that can resist him and pose a threat is the divine guardian admirals. If these divine guardian admirals can be captured, then the problem in these provinces will no longer be Problem.
It was with this idea in mind that the major armies wanted to use Yin Xi's power to capture various divine admirals one after another. However, what they never expected was that the process of capturing the provincial capital by the four armies was actually very smooth. , although they encountered some resistance one after another, but they were all worth mentioning under the huge numerical advantage.
But the guardian admirals who worried Liu Xu the most never appeared from the beginning to the end. They didn't seem to care that their hometown was captured, and the three provincial cities before and after were taken down extremely smoothly.
Naturally, this information was gathered in front of Liu Xu one after another.
"Wenji, what do you think?" Liu Xu threw the 100,000 words of information in his hand directly on the table, and then asked Cai Wenji.
"Master, there must be something fishy here!" Cai Wenji said very simply.
"Actually, it's easy to understand why these divine admirals don't stay in their respective cities. After all, the first one has failed, and there is no reason for them to continue to repeat the previous failed tactics!" Liu Xu said with a smile.
"But Master, based on the intelligence of the entire provincial capital, we will find that although many members of the clan can still be captured in these provincial cities, the core members of each clan have disappeared collectively, and almost no one has been caught. Any direct member of the family. The only one we caught was the one we found among a group of fleeing refugees on the way."
"What's more important is that the lifeblood of these princes is no longer there, and almost all of them were shipped away in advance. In other words, the princes of these cities have never thought about clinging to their own territories. It was a collective escape in advance." Cai Wenji said.
"This is actually not surprising. After all, you have the greatest destiny in the world. For your own safety and the glory of your family, it is understandable to run away!" Liu Xu said.
"It's understandable that it's for one's own life, but it's the opposite if it's for the glory of the family. According to the information we have, the core mission and glory of each clan is to defend their family's territory, and they must never let their provinces Being involved by outsiders, every time there is a conflict between provinces, it is almost always a life-and-death situation. There is almost no situation where the entire family evacuates directly without any resistance!" Cai Wenji said, "But all this happened. Well, then there’s only one explanation I can think of.”
"What explanation?"
"Their superior, the Emperor Zhou, ordered them to retreat, so that they would put down their roots and retreat to other safe places in advance."
"So this means that Emperor Zhou is a good superior who cares about his subordinates?"
"How do I know he doesn't care about it? I only know that Emperor Zhou will never give up. He will never let others take away his leeks. They must have other purposes for doing this." Cai Wenji said, " But what exactly is this purpose, Wen Ji can’t guess?”
"Isn't this simple? Of course, it is so that their respective divine admirals can put down all scruples and worry about the safety of their families, completely put aside their respective foundations, and collectively do something that can end the war and completely destroy Our affairs, such as finding me and killing me, just like what Gongsun Tian did before!"
Liu Xu squinted his eyes and said, in fact, how could Cai Wenji not guess such a simple strategy? I can only say that she is a good flatterer.
In fact, Zhou Yu, Zhang Liang and other counselors had guessed the counterattack plan made by the Great Zhou Kingdom long before the battle began, and then made corresponding countermeasures, that is, Liu Xu should not stay in Zhangjia Town Instead, he went to another small town to stay. At the same time, he lived in seclusion and did not meet any local indigenous people.
As long as Emperor Zhou cannot find Liu Xu's whereabouts, Liu Xu will be absolutely safe.
So at this time, Liu Xu was actually staying in a place called Hejia Town, chatting with Cai Wenji boredly while looking at the various intelligences compiled in his hands.
"Those divine admirals who came to assassinate you are probably going crazy now!" Cai Wenji said cheerfully.
"Yes, but these people must be looking for me like crazy. Maybe there are their spies nearby. By the way, did Gongsun Tian bring him here? I need to ask him something!" Liu Xu said in a deep voice.
"Bring it here, it's in the town's jail!"
"Then bring him here. I want to ask him what methods they use to find people."
Due to various reasons, the address was changed to
