Although Cao Wei has troubled heroes like Cao Cao and powerful generals like Xu Chudianwei, their background is still a bit poor. For example, Xun You and Guo Jia both have the potential of heavenly realm, but Xun You and Guo Jia are both civil servants.
Their ability to save lives is not bad, but if they go to the battlefield, how can their Confucian and Taoist methods of self-cultivation and self-cultivation stop the fierce military generals who kill countless people.
Minus the civil servants, Cao Cao can only rely on two people on the battlefield. If Gao Aocao breaks through, it will be three.
Zhang Liao, who also entered the martial arts temple, has some potential, but the chance of breaking through to the heaven realm is only slightly higher than that of ordinary earth realm generals. Only by slowly grinding it out in ten or twenty years can he step into this level.
After all, Cao Wei only lasted for more than forty years in history, and it had not yet unified the world, not even as good as the later Northern Wei.
Decades of time simply cannot produce many talents.
And some emerging talents also became ministers of the Western Jin Dynasty during the transition from Wei to Jin. He is not considered one of Cao Wei's own people. The only thing Cao Cao can rely on is his own team.
With these people alone, there was no hope of competing with the famous ministers and generals that had been born in the Eastern Han Dynasty for two hundred years.
The foundation that Wang Jing often talks about is the emergence of civil servants and powerful generals in the process of a dynasty from its birth to its collapse. If a dynasty has a longer national destiny, more famous ministers and generals will be born, and the corresponding foundation will be thicker.
In this case, of course, the unified dynasties in history took the most advantage.
Especially in the Han Dynasty, the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasties combined for 400 years. In such a long time, a large number of talents were born. Among them, there were ten or twenty famous generals in the Martial Temple. Among the ten sages of the Martial Temple, Han Xin was included. Occupied three people.
What is the foundation? This is the foundation!
In Wang Jing's view, it was normal for Cao Wei to be unable to block the Han army's attack. It would be surprising if he could.
"However, Cao Cao still has the Tang army in the north to help contain him, so that he can be defeated without chaos. Unless the Han army mobilizes the troops from Xiangyang, Nanyang and other places and goes all out, they can capture Bianliang and drive Cao Cao to Qingqi!"
Wang Jing reasoned secretly.
Of course Liu Xiu couldn't go all out. If he transferred the generals from Xiangyang, wouldn't he give this north-south strategic point to Daxia? Dahan and Xia Jun have eased the situation, but don't forget that there was a war between the two sides not long ago.
Cao Cao was also very foresight and had already foreseen the threat of the Han army, so he took the risk of two consecutive eastern expeditions, risking his retreat, and wanted to destroy Gao Qi first.
After the fall of Gao Qi, the land of Qing Qi became Cao Wei's rear. Even if Bianliang was captured in the future, Cao Wei could move its capital to Qingzhou or Linzi. Based on the territory of Qi State during the Warring States Period, it would still be a powerful force in the world of China.
Except for the battle between Cao Cao and the Han army.
Wang Jing also paid attention to the situation in Hebei and knew that Xiang Yu was fighting the Murong clan. As for the more detailed situation, the spies did not find out, and Wang Jing himself did not pay much attention to it.
After all, Hebei is too far away from the south, and who wins or loses has little to do with Daxia. He turned his attention to the wedding group sent to Li Tang half a year ago. "Counting the time, it's time for the wedding group to return..."
From the territory of Li Tang to Daxia, it takes at least three or four months to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers. It takes almost half a year to go back and forth. When the wedding group returns, it will be early spring.
Wang Jing's deduction was good.
At this time, the wedding group had indeed set off from Li Tang, crossed the Taihang Mountains, and returned along the way they came. Taihang Mountain stretches thousands of miles from east to west, with dense forests like the sea and steep peaks.
In such dense forests and mountains, there are eight trails from north to south, known as the Eight Trails of Taihang. Large armies cannot pass here, but there is still hope for small-scale horse traders.
However, there are many strange beasts and monsters in the mountains and forests. It is very dangerous for ordinary caravans to pass through here. Every month, 30% to 40% or more of the caravans are attacked and become food for the wild beasts in the mountains and forests.
For ordinary people, every time they pass by, they are walking on the tip of a knife, but even so, there are still many caravan traders who risk their lives to take this road.
Because Hebei was in the middle of a war, Li and Tang were relatively
With stability, Li Tang's caravan can exchange for a large number of precious treasures in Hebei with the much-needed grain, grass and salt.
If you do business once, you can earn ten times the profit. Such benefits can cost many people their lives. "The road out of the mountain is just ahead... Finally out!"
On the road between the mountains, a team of tens of thousands of people were on their way. Thousands of them were caravans organized by Li Tang, as well as a small number of scattered cargo traders encountered on the road.
In front were four thousand well-trained soldiers, protecting dozens of carriages as they moved forward.
Among the team, there are also three powerful generals wearing armor and stomach. This group of people is naturally Daxia's wedding reception group, as well as the thousand elites and emissaries who sent Li Tang's marriage.
The auras of the four thousand elite soldiers and the three generals were connected, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.
And this kind of Qi, the more sensitive the spiritual sense is, the deeper the feeling of monsters and beasts that have premonitions of danger.
When they sensed danger, there were many monsters and beasts in the Taihang Mountains. Except for a few that couldn't bear it, they jumped out and were killed by elite soldiers. All the monsters above the seventh level let go of tens of thousands of people. Blood food.
Many caravans in Li Tang's country also saw the presence of four thousand elites and three generals, so they chose to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Hebei to make a fortune.
"Yeah, we're finally here! We only lost a dozen people on the mountain trail this time. It's much safer than before!" "It's safe to be escorted by three generals. It's a pity that we only have this one chance!"
"Be content. I heard that the two generals of the Xia Kingdom are both invincible warriors on the battlefield. It is said that they fought against General Li Cunxiao for dozens of rounds without losing...it's great to meet such a strong man. Our luck, do you still want a second chance?”
"Huh? I fought against General Li Cunxiao for dozens of rounds without losing? How about comparing with King Zhao?"
"Of course they cannot be the opponents of King Zhao. Although King Zhao has not taken action, one of the generals of the Xia Kingdom is Yuwen Chengdu. Yuwen Chengdu is not the opponent of King Zhao, and the other one cannot stop King Zhao!"
The caravans that choose to set off with the Daxia wedding group basically have some relationship with the aristocratic families in Li Tang. It is these relationships that can get the protection of the bride-sending envoys.
Of course, these caravans did not fail to show that they gave the four thousand elite soldiers a lot of blood-nourishing monster meat when they were on their way.
When they were about to enter the border of Hebei, some people began to relax and chat with each other.
Speaking of which, the fact that the Daxia wedding group entered Taiyuan and welcomed Princess Changle south to Jinling was also a major event in Li Tang.
Anyone who has some information channels has heard some of it.
For example, Pei Ju, the envoy of the Xia Kingdom's wedding group, and Yuwen Chengdu, one of the generals who welcomed the bride, were familiar to many people in Li and Tang Dynasties.
Some people also heard that the two generals of Xia State had discussed and exchanged ideas with several generals in the country.
For example, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin were no match for them. It wasn't until Li Cunxiao took action that he slightly overpowered the opponent.
Li Cunxiao's reputation is now very loud in Li Tang.
After joining Li Tang, Li Cunxiao fought against the Mongolian and Yuan armies in the north. He repeatedly led his cavalry into battle and was invincible. He made countless meritorious deeds. Now he is the Duke of Feihu County in Li Tang and ranks as a duke.
His record and strength have surpassed 80% of the generals in Li Tang, and are only lower than a small number of generals. Among Li Tang's army and among the people, the reputation of Li Cunxiao, a brave and invincible general, spread very quickly.
Especially businessmen traveling south and north often hear his name.
When they heard that the two generals of Xia State could fight against Li Cunxiao, these caravan leaders immediately understood how powerful the other party was. Caravans and bride-to-be wedding groups rolled by.
Soon we reached the pass.
Ran Wei's soldiers were already waiting at the pass to greet them. Ran Wei did not leave too many guards at the pass because the Taihang Mountains could not allow a large army to pass. He only needed to leave a thousand defenders.
The defenders mainly guard against monsters and beasts in the mountains, and also set up checkpoints at the pass to collect tolls. The tolls are not high so as not to affect the commercial routes.
"Master Pei, Ran Weiyou
People are coming! "
The personal guards galloped over and reported to Pei Ju. Pei Ju's eyes moved and he stepped forward to greet him without saying anything. "I, Ran Liang, have met Mr. Pei!"
After Pei Ju stepped forward, a person came over.
After hearing the other party's name, Pei Ju felt a little familiar, his thoughts turned quickly, and he quickly thought of the other party's information.
"Is it him? An acquaintance of His Majesty when he was rising in Jianghuai?" Pei Ju thought to himself.
He was shocked in his heart, but there was no trace of it on his face, with a smile on his face. Ran Liang was an acquaintance of His Majesty, not him, and Pei Ju and Ran Liang had no friendship. Could Pei Ju be allowed to replace Wang Jing and reminisce with him?
The best choice is only if you don't know the other party's identity. Pei Ju smiled and said, "General Ran, I don't know why you are here?"
Ran Liang's eyes swept over the powerful soldiers not far away, as well as the two fierce generals Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Zaixing, and he felt inexplicably emotional in his heart.
In just a few years, the young man who had been surviving in the Jianghuai land and even needed his protection had grown into a dynasty emperor in the Chinese world who was in charge of the fate of hundreds of millions of people.
And he finally went north to find his tribe, and continued to fight under the leadership of the King of Heaven. Now he is just a general of Ran Wei with relatively average strength.
The status of the two sides is as different as heaven and earth.
Whenever he thought about the past, Ran Liang felt that it was a long time ago when he was in Jianghuai, which made him feel sad.
In fact, if Wang Jing disappeared from everyone, he would quickly forget what happened in Jianghuai. The higher Wang Jing's status and strength, the more Ran Liang couldn't let go.
Ran Liang forcibly controlled his emotions, looked away, and said: "I am ordered by the King of Heaven to lead the way for Mr. Pei! I will escort you south as soon as possible..."
Pei Ju's eyes flashed, and he felt a little confused. But he didn't ask immediately.
"I see, that's a problem for General Ran!" Pei Ju stroked his short beard and suddenly laughed. soon.
Under the leadership of Ran Liang, the wedding group changed direction and began to run rapidly south. On the way, Pei Ju kept making insinuations and learned from Ran Liang the reason why the other party was leading the way.
The situation in Hebei is now tense. Xiang Yu has already captured the capital of Yan State and is fighting a decisive battle with Murong.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting in a melee, directly affecting hundreds of miles. A large number of Yan's defeated troops were running around in Hebei.
Ran Min didn't want the Daxia delegation to stay in Hebei for too long to avoid any accidents... After all, the Xia delegation had two top-notch heavenly warriors who could already change the situation in the region.
Ran Min must eliminate such unexpected factors.
After knowing Ran Wei Yifang's thoughts, Pei Ju nodded in understanding and said nothing more. The other party didn't want them to stay longer, and he didn't want to wade in the muddy waters of Hebei.
Pei Ju looked at a cloud car not far away. Inside the car was His Majesty's concubine who had not yet passed through the door. If something goes wrong, then he should not hang out in Daxia Dynasty in the future.
The mission sped up.
call!
When they were about to arrive at Huaxian County, a huge meteor suddenly crossed the sky. The sky suddenly changed color, and a strong wind blew up, rolling up the flag on the cloud car.
This meteor was two or three times larger than the stars that had appeared before, and when the meteor streaked across the sky, a phantom seemed to appear in front of everyone who saw it.
A powerful figure who dismounted his horse to govern the country, mounted his horse to govern the army, and commanded millions of troops across the world. "stop!"
When such a strange scene appeared, Pei Ju immediately ordered to stop, then looked up to the sky, showing a hint of shock. A cloud car in the envoy team quietly lifted the curtain.
A face as beautiful as the clear light of the new moon, surrounded by flowers, trees and piles of snow, was revealed, and her starry eyes were looking into the sky. He seemed to feel the phantom and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
She noticed a serious-looking general not far away who was also looking up at the sky, so she called the maid in a low voice and whispered a few words.
The maid stepped forward.
"General Xue, princess, want to know what happened?"
Known as General Xue
The general is Xue Rengui, Li Tang's Jinwu Guard general, and he is also the emissary sent by Li Tang this time.
Although Li Tang now had the Mongolian Yuan in the north and the Eastern Han Dynasty in the south, with large armies fighting, the Xia Kingdom sent two Tianjing generals to welcome Li Tang's bride. Li Tang's send-off should not be looked down upon.
Therefore, Xue Rengui was ordered by Erfeng to send the princess to Jinling before returning. "This is the strange appearance of the fall of a general from the heavenly realm..."
Xue Rengui replied in a deep voice.
Speaking of which, after the change in the sky, the supreme powerhouses came one after another, and the powerhouses who were originally stuck at the peak of the earth realm continued to break through. There are definitely hundreds of heavenly warriors, civil servants and generals in the world of China.
However, the death of a powerful person in the heavenly realm has not happened in the past six months. Today, the strange phenomenon of Tianjing’s fall finally appeared.
Without thinking too much, Pei Ju and Xue Rengui were able to deduce the identity of the fallen person.
At this time, the strong men in the heavenly realm were fighting each other for their lives. Looking at the direction of the meteor falling, it was in the north... It could only be the two heroes of the Murong clan from the Yan Kingdom.
I just don’t know whether the fallen person is Murong Ke or Murong Chui.
On the vast land, countless corpses were lying on the ground, blood flowing freely, and countless soldiers were fighting hard. In mid-air, the color of the sky and the earth changed, and the wind and clouds gathered.
An extremely domineering man with a black horse on his crotch and an Overlord Gun in his hand just waved the Overlord Gun and blasted a person in mid-air.
In an instant, blood rained into the sky.
