Half a year passed quietly. During this period, Ling Feng married Wu Yi's sister as his wife. In addition, Ye Xianglan finally became pregnant. Ling Batian finally stopped forcing Ling Feng to marry and take concubines all day long. The Yizhou family was also popular among the people. Stablize.
Ling Feng called Lin Ziyan to report on the situation in Jingzhou.
Following Lin Ziyan's narration, Ling Feng realized that Liu Biao's men were indeed full of talents, but the main ones who had to be reused were Cai Mao, Huang Zu, Kuai Liang, the Kuai Yue brothers, Han Xuan and others, while many others were not allowed to be reused.
In terms of generals, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, etc. are all top-notch generals who are above the peak of Grand Master, but they are not allowed to be reused. On the contrary, Wenpin, who is far inferior in strength, is more reused. Most of the civil servants and counselors, such as Yin Ji, Liu Ba, Xiang Lang, and Yin Ji, were not allowed to be reused.
This is also determined by Liu Biao's character. He only focused on governing a place and had no intention of making progress, so he naturally valued culture over military force.
Through intelligence analysis, it was found that Cai Mao, the Kuai brothers and others were not very loyal. Gan Ning, Wei Yan and others had long wanted to change their families. As long as he killed Liu Biao or came to the city with troops, they would naturally offer the city to him.
Immediately, Ling Feng summoned all the generals and counselors under his command, including the nine army commanders including Qisha, Tanlang, Pojun, Wuqu, Qinglong, and Baihu, Wu Yi, Zhang Lu, Jia Long, Ren Qi, Zhao Wei, Huang Quan, Zhang Song, Gao Pei, Yang Huai, Deng Xian, Pang Xi, Lingbao, Fazhen and so on came one after another.
Now, Ling Feng has been in Yizhou for several years, and talents from all the major aristocratic families have begun to join him. Although there are few top talents, there are quite a lot of excellent ones.
Immediately, Ling Feng assigned a task. Qinglong led the 100,000 Qinglong Legion and one million elite troops to guard Chengdu. Baihu and Suzaku led their respective Taoist legions and two million elite troops to station at the border of Hanzhong Road to guard against Dong Zhuo. Xuanwu and Qilin led two legions of Dao soldiers and two million troops to garrison Zoke Road and Yizhou Road to guard against the invasion of Shixie from Jiaozhou and Wuling Road from Jingzhou.
Immediately, Ling Feng personally led 400,000 Shura Blood Guards and an army of 5 million to attack South Road. He was accompanied by generals such as Wu Yi, Zhang Lu, Jia Long, and Ren Qi, as well as counselors such as Huang Quan, Zhang Song, and Fazhen.
The attack of five million troops was so huge that it could not be concealed. Liu Biao learned the news and immediately sent General Wen Pin to lead 100,000 Taoist (third level or above) level Jingzhou soldiers and two million elite soldiers to resist.
However, the strength of Ling Feng's 400,000 Shura Blood Guards was terrifying. It was much stronger than a few years ago. Among them, the 10,000 Shura Guards alone have basically broken through to the Grandmaster realm, and the condensed Blood Dragon War Soul has once again increased the increase in strength several times!
Wenpin used 100,000 state soldiers to gather the fighting spirit, but was defeated by Ling Feng's condensed blood dragon fighting spirit. He was defeated and captured.
In this battle, Ling Feng beheaded more than 500,000 people and captured more than 1.3 million people, but very few escaped.
Immediately, Ling Feng divided his troops into seven groups, with overwhelming force, and captured more than 70 states in the south in seven days.
Liu Biao was frightened and hurriedly withdrew from Xiangyang City in Nanyang to Daowan City in Nanyang.
At this time, Liu Biao lived in Wancheng.
He summoned his confidants Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others to discuss countermeasures.
Kuai Yue said: "My lord, with the strength of Jingzhou's troops, there is no way that we can be Ling Feng's opponent. Why don't we welcome Prime Minister Cao to Jingzhou and work together to repel Ling Feng."
At this time, he had realized that Liu Biao had no future, and he deliberately persuaded Liu Biao to dedicate Jingzhou to the hero Cao Cao as a way to advance.
At this time, Cai Mao said: "If you want to surrender, why not surrender to Ling Feng?"
Kuai Yue said: "Ling Feng was only a martial artist. Even though he was brave, he was prone to killing by nature and was not a wise master. Besides, since ancient times, whoever conquers the Central Plains conquers the world. The remote land of Yizhou cannot become a king's business."
"Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those close by. At this time, the Yizhou army has already attacked. By the time Cao Cao comes to help, I am afraid that we will have become the ghosts under Ling Feng's sword!"
At this time, Cai Mao said. The reason why he fell so firmly towards Ling Feng was naturally because Ling Feng arranged for someone to contact him in advance and promised various conditions, so he couldn't help but be tempted.
Liu Biao's heart was filled with anger. Before he died, the two of them were vying to give their inheritance to others. It was really abominable! However, his ability to pacify Jingzhou in the first place was all due to the power of the Kuai brothers and Cai Mao brothers, which allowed them to take control of the power. At this time, they were too powerful to lose, and even he could not kill them at will.
Immediately, Liu Biao made an excuse and sent the two of them away, thinking about countermeasures in his mind. In the end, he accepted Kuai Yue's strategy, but modified it slightly and turned it into asking Cao Cao for help. He promised to cede Nanyang Road to Cao Cao after he promised to tide over the difficulties. Nanyang Road was the first avenue of the Han Dynasty, with hundreds of states and a population of hundreds of millions. It was an anointed land, and he was not afraid that Cao Cao would not be tempted.
At the same time, he also knew that it would be difficult to resist Ling Feng, so he summoned his generals and led troops to defend the prefectures and counties respectively. They could not leave and delay the attack.
However, his calculation was wrong. Ling Feng personally led the 400,000 Shura Blood Guards to attack, and they were sure to win every battle. The momentum was overwhelming. Seeing that the situation was unstoppable, the governors and governors of various states and counties came out of the city to surrender.
Ling Feng only took seven days to capture Nanyang Road, and Liu Biao fled to Jiangxia Road in panic.
At this time, Ling Feng was preparing to attack Jiangxia Road, but found that Cao Cao had led three million troops to attack Wancheng, so he had to give up the pursuit of Liu Biao temporarily. However, in order to prevent Liu Biao and Cao Cao from attacking Nanyang Road, he sent Qisha and led 100,000 Shura Blood Guards and Zhang Lu to defend the southern states and counties where Nanyang Road was in contact with Jiangxia Road.
Later, Ling Feng gathered his army and fought with Cao Cao on a plain outside Wancheng.
Cao Cao, riding a dragon-scaled horse, stood in front of the army and said loudly: "Lingzhou Mu, it is unethical to raise an army for no reason. As the prime minister, I must stop you. If you retreat this time, I will never pursue you."
A few miles away, Ling Feng looked at Cao Cao and found that his cultivation was even better than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, reaching the middle stage of the realm of heaven and man. He thought to himself, he is indeed one of the three protagonists of the Three Kingdoms!
Immediately, he said coldly: "Is it for no reason that Liu Biao sent Wenpin to plot Yizhou? And you, Cao Cao, kidnapped the emperor and named him the Han Prime Minister, and you are a traitor to the Han! Since you are here, let's fight!"
Then, Ling Feng immediately asked the 300,000 Shura Blood Guards to use the blood dragon battle formation to condense the blood dragon battle soul. The vast energy of the soldiers turned into a bloody aura, gathered in the sky, and condensed into a huge blood dragon fighting spirit, exuding a majestic aura that far exceeded the peak of ordinary heavenly beings.
At this time, the tiger and leopard cavalry, a Taoist-level special unit under Cao Cao, appeared on the scene, with a total of 200,000 tiger and leopard cavalry. This Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has also shone brightly in history. The leader in peacetime is Cao Chun, but in wartime it is directly under the control of Cao Cao.
Immediately, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry began to condense the special fighting spirits of one tiger and one leopard in a battle formation. Immediately, Cao Cao's soul came out of his body and merged with the tiger and leopard fighting spirit. His aura suddenly rose rapidly, reaching the peak of the realm of heaven and human, and it was still improving.
After a while, Cao Cao's skill increased to the peak of the middle-level soul realm. He held the Yitian Sword and suddenly slashed with the sword.
At this time, part of Ling Feng's soul had also been integrated into the Blood Dragon War Soul. Facing the terrifying sword energy, he just controlled the Blood Dragon War Soul, opened his mouth to swallow it, and quickly refined it with Shura Blood Flame.
Cao Cao looked dull and unbelievable: "How is that possible!"
