Immediately, Ling Feng went to visit the four top families in Chengzhou. He did not expect to directly regain these four families, as long as he could obtain a certain tacit understanding.
These top aristocratic families have astonishing reputations and connections. If they are forcibly recovered, they will cause backlash and arouse hostility from the entire Shu Road and even Yizhou. He has not unified Yizhou yet, so he will not offend him rashly.
And these top aristocratic families will not offend anyone rashly, nor will they be loyal to anyone rashly, because no matter who is the shepherd of Yizhou, they need their help in governing Yizhou.
Half an hour later, Ling Feng returned to the Prefecture Mufu from the four major families.
At this time, Qisha entered the hall, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, we have searched all over the city and can't find Liu Yan. According to Gao Pei, this man has already brought several confidants, counselors, generals and the most elite Dongzhou soldiers under his command." Round with Zhang Lu."
Ling Feng smiled and said: "It's okay, he can't run away!"
He wanted to kill Liu Yan, but he couldn't do it too early. Many observers did not take action, they just wanted him to be the murderous knife and kill Liu Yan so that they could take over. Even Jia Long and Ren Qi are not of the same mind as him. If they start too early, the various observers may have to attack them, and the position of Zhou Mu may also fall to Jia Long. What he needs to do is to first occupy the Shu Dao and other territories to improve his strength. When he has occupied several territories and has a solid foundation, it is time to kill Liu Yan and regain Yizhou in one fell swoop.
Immediately, Ling Feng led an army to sweep across the Shu states, with great momentum along the way.
Liu Yan did not lead his troops to fight back, but joined forces with Zhang Lu to attack Jia Long and Ren Qi.
Two days later, other observers basically received orders from the state pastor Liu Yan to besiege Ling Feng, but most of them chose to ignore it. The main reason is that Liu Yan offended the Yizhou family, and most of these observers were representatives of the local families. Only a few people were lured by Liu Yan's promised benefits and sent hundreds of thousands of troops to help, but it was of little use.
Another day passed, Jingzhou Administrative Office, Xiangyang City.
Liu Biao summoned Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Yi Ji, Fu Xun, Han Song and other advisers, and said: "Everyone, Liu Yan is now asking me for help in Jingzhou. Do you want to save me or not?"
In fact, he had known about the turmoil in Yizhou for a long time, but turned a blind eye. At this time, the other party wrote a handwritten letter asking for help, and his words were sincere, so he naturally had to respond.
Kuai Yue said: "My lord, Liu Yan and my lord are from the same clan, so it is natural that he should be rescued, but how to rescue him has to be particular. Liu Yan has always been at odds with the adults, and he has aspirations of proclaiming himself emperor, so he cannot be rescued too early. If he takes the opportunity to unite all the forces in Yizhou, he will be a threat to our Jingzhou. But we must save him, otherwise if Ling Feng rises, kills Liu Yan and replaces him, he will also be a threat to our Jingzhou. Best. It is to keep Yizhou in a state of division, so that we can send troops to capture it in the future!"
Yi Ji and others all nodded in agreement. If Liu Biao had not arrived in Jingzhou not long ago and his foundation was not solid, they would have persuaded Liu Biao to take Yizhou.
Liu Biao listened and asked General Wenpin to lead millions of troops to Yizhou for rescue, but the troop dispatch was extremely slow.
The next day, Liu Yan's envoy arrived in Xudu.
Cao Cao, who had just been awarded the title of Taiwei, also received information that Liu Yan was asking for help, so he summoned his close advisers to discuss countermeasures.
Guo Jiadao: "The land of Yizhou is too far away from us, so it is difficult to blend in. However, we can use the name of the imperial court to order the various observers to attack Ling Feng. Liu Yanzhi has great talent and talent, so it is not a concern. And Ling Feng's martial arts and intelligence are superb. , like a fierce tiger, if he is allowed to unify Yizhou, he will definitely be an obstacle to our unification of the world in the future."
Xun You, Cheng Yu and other close advisers also agreed with this point, so Cao Cao wrote to the emperor the next morning, asking the emperor to order various observers to attack Ling Feng, Jia Long and others. However, what they did not expect was that Yuan Shu cited evidence that Liu Yan intended to proclaim himself emperor and firmly supported Ling Feng, but the final result was that the matter was settled.
The reason why Yuan Shu stepped in to support Ling Feng was naturally because Ling Feng gave him a generous gift and told him a truth. If the Han clan clan members Liu Yan and Liu Biao did not die, it would be troublesome for others to claim the throne. Yuan Shu, who had long wanted to be emperor, naturally chose to help Ling Feng, hoping that Liu Yan would be finished soon.
At this time, Ling Feng's army was overwhelming all the way, and many states and counties were surrendering. Within seven days, they captured more than 30 states in Shu Road, and already occupied more than half of the territory in Shu Road. Ling Feng's luck could not increase. few.
In addition, Ling Feng's 100,000 Shura Blood Guards have also made great progress after repeated battles. Among them, 90,000 ordinary Shura Blood Guards have reached the peak of the mid-innate stage. And those thousand Shura guards who are extremely innate have all advanced to the half-step Wuzong level, and the other eight thousand Shura guards who are in the half-step Wuzong realm are also showing signs of breaking through to the master level, but they still need some accumulation. As for the thousand master-level Shura guards, they have also made great progress, and most of them have reached the peak of the early martial arts. The overall combat power of Shura Blood Guard has increased a lot.
At this time, Ling Feng was preparing to occupy the entire Shu Road in one fell swoop, but suddenly received three pieces of information. One was that the Yuexun Road Observation Envoy in the south had raised three million troops to attack the Jianwei Road, and the other was that Jia Long and Ren Qi had defeated the Guanghan Road. He had already retreated to Badao and sent a letter asking for help to Ling Feng. Third, Liu Biao's army has entered Badong Road.
Ling Feng smiled and was not worried. The observation envoy of Yuexun Road obviously saw that Liu Yan's situation had improved, and was ready to change his position and please Liu Yan.
However, he had already sent Qinglong's 100,000 Five Elements Army to garrison Jianwei Road. In addition, there were more than 5 million troops in the states of Jianwei Road, which was enough to withstand the army of Yuexun Road. The opponent's sending troops at this time just gave him an excuse to attack in the future.
There was no need to worry back home. Ling Feng immediately led 90,000 Shura Blood Guards and two million troops to Badao to rescue Jia Long and Ren Qi.
Qisha led 10,000 Shura Blood Guards and more than a million troops to continue attacking the remaining thirty states of Shu. Seven Kills had been promoted to the late stage of Grand Master by Ling Feng at this time. Coupled with the blessing of 10,000 Shura Blood Guards' condensed fighting souls, it was enough to kill the strong men in the middle stage of Heavenly Man. It would not be difficult to wipe out the remaining states and counties in Shu Road.
Two days later, Liu Yan and Zhang Lu raised their troops from Guanghan Road and went south to attack Badao, hoping to kill Jia Long and Ren Qi completely.
At this time, Ling Feng's army had also arrived, and Jia Long and Ren Qi immediately rushed to greet them.
Jia Long clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Lord Ling for coming to the rescue. Jia is deeply grateful. Liu Yan went against the grain and planned the throne. We couldn't bear it anymore and raised troops to rebel, but we were inferior to others. If Lord Ling can kill the traitor Liu Yan, We are willing to treat you as our lord!"
Jia Long's words sounded good, but he was actually a cunning old man. If Ling Feng could kill Liu Yan and Zhang Lu, it would not be difficult to conquer the entire Yizhou. Their surrender was just the icing on the cake. If Ling Feng couldn't kill Liu Yan, then they would just have a cooperative relationship.
Ling Feng didn't take it seriously. This result was already good, so he smiled and said: "Liu Yan conspired to become emperor, and his crime deserves to be punished. Ling will definitely kill this thief!"
