Chapter 1378 The World Situation (2)
"Three Kingdoms Online Game: Princes Struggle for Hegemony ()"
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but feel dizzy. Although he had made some preparations, he did not expect that the current situation would change so much.
He had just lost tens of thousands of cavalry, but foreign enemies suddenly appeared. Although they would not attack immediately, the threat was getting bigger and bigger.
And judging from Guo Jia's attitude, the bad news seems to be far more than that.
Huangfu Chaobo stroked his forehead with one hand, waved the other hand at Guo Jia, and said, "If there is any other news, let me tell you."
"Liaodong Gongsundu has brought his two sons and the cities of Liaodong County to surrender to the dynasty hegemony. Now the dynasty hegemony has become a prince sitting in the three counties of Liaodong, and it is said that he has prepared to send his generals to attack Goguryeo and Sanhan."
"Well, although the news is a bit sudden, it's still not the worst news..." Huangfu Chaobo whispered to himself. Suddenly, he noticed that Guo Jia seemed to have stopped talking.
When I raised my head to look at him, I found that he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Anything else?"
"This matter is too strange... At present, Shadow has only obtained some unimportant information, and the specific process is still unknown."
"Huh?!" After hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo sat up straight and stared at Guo Jiaqi: "What's the matter?"
"Fifteen days ago, all the cities under the rule of General Ye Laixiang, who occupied several counties in Qingxu Prefecture, except the two southernmost cities of Huaipu and Xihai, all the other cities changed their banners overnight and became territories under the rule of Qi State. "
"What? Why is this?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"The news coming back from the shadows is vague, and the specific situation has not been obtained yet. Now Cao Charlie, the governor of Taishan, has been transferred to the governor of Donglai by King Qi, and what is strange is that Cao Charlie's army of tens of thousands was divided into two parts. Entering Huang County, the county seat, more than 10,000 troops were sent to Qingdao City. "
"And Tuberose's army seemed to disappear overnight. A few days later, ten days ago, their tens of thousands of elite troops suddenly appeared in Jingzhou. Tens of thousands of troops with Sword Spirit suddenly appeared under Changsha City, The two coalition forces attacked Changsha with about 100,000 troops. Liu Bei's army was caught off guard and was defeated. "
"The enemy general Guan Yu was unexpectedly killed on the spot by Wei Yan and Yue Xi. Liu Bei's army was severely defeated. Changsha was lost in a few days, and only more than 10,000 remaining soldiers retreated to Guiyang."
"Although I don't know what exactly happened, according to Jia's speculation, Tuberose must have reached some secret agreement with the King of Qi and the King of Wu, but the specific secret agreement is unknown." After speaking, he was satisfied. He shook his head with a solemn face.
…
At this time, another waiter came outside the palace to report that Shi'a was seeking an audience outside the palace.
"Pass!" Upon hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo nodded to a waiter beside him.
Soon, Shi A quickly entered the palace, saluted Huangfu Chaobo, and said: "Your Majesty, the latest war news in Jingzhou has come from Luoyang, and there is also news from the direction of Xuzhou."
With that said, he handed the information in his hand to a waiter beside him, who handed it to Huangfu Chaobo.
After receiving the information from the waiter, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't wait to open it and browsed it quickly.
After looking at what he was doing, Huangfu Chaobo let out a long sigh. Others may not be able to see deeper things from the middle, but Huangfu Chaobo can see that this series of operations are all from Arrangements in the village.
After passing the information in his hand to Guo Jia next to him, Huangfu Chaobo also stood up, walked slowly to the map, looked at the map in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
As Guo Jia expected, Tuberose reached a secret agreement with both Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Several forces have been working on this matter for several months, especially Tuberose, who had been making preparations for this as early as a few months ago. It’s just that only a few core people have known about it all this time.
No word has been heard from the others.
As for Cao Cao, Tuberose reached an agreement with him. Tuberose will hand over all the cities it controls to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will allow Tuberose to take away most of the property in the city, as well as a large number of intermediate and high-level skilled talents and their families.
So in the past few months, Tuberose has been making these preparations. For example, he ordered to select the most qualified people from all the soldiers under his rule and reorganize them into several elite groups. At the same time, he ordered their families to be relocated to Haixi and Huaipu cities for resettlement.
In the eyes of all players, these actions are normal, because players all know that the number of troops should be better than more. Therefore, in the entire game, all lord players have more or less a certain number of elites in their hands. So after this information was sent back to Luoyang, neither Huangfu Chaobo nor the other officials of the Tang Dynasty paid much attention to it.
In terms of skilled talents, Ye Laixiang is also doing the same thing. He has also arranged for all the mid- to high-level talents in all the cities under his rule to be resettled in these two cities. In the eyes of others, the reason why Ye Laixiang is This was done because these two cities were adjacent to Tuberose and its ally Wu State, and should be the safest compared to other cities in Tuberose.
In terms of money, food and materials, Tuberose also successively delivered a lot of money, food and materials to these two cities within a few months.
As for the troops, the 20,000 elite infantrymen have been basically trained. In addition to Xu Sheng's Iron Halberd Camp, Yue Xi's Short Halberd Camp and Cao Bao's Danyang Camp, the special troops of each camp also have 5,000 soldiers. In addition, Ye Lai Xiang has a special army of Qingzhou soldiers. In this way, there are 40,000 elite soldiers.
The secret agreement reached with Sun Quan was that Ye Lai Xiang used the 5,000 war horses of various levels accumulated over the years in exchange for Sun Quan's dispatch of thousands of ships to transport hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people from the two cities to Jingzhou.
This time, Ye Lai Xiang transported 25,000 soldiers and 5,000 craftsmen, as well as tens of thousands of their families to Jingzhou at one time. Their destination was Chanling City under the control of the Sword Spirit. Tens of thousands of Ye Lai Xiang's troops were temporarily arranged in several docks outside Chanling City.
Afterwards, the 20,000 Tuberose troops joined the 30,000 Sword Spirit troops, and the 50,000 elite troops hid during the day and marched at night, bypassing Yiyang City without anyone noticing, and rushed directly to Changsha City.
At this time, there were only 5,000 troops led by Liu Bei, Jian Yong and Bao Long in Changsha City. Under the fierce attack of the 50,000 elite troops of the two coalition forces, Changsha City was in danger for a few days. Liu Bei hurriedly ordered the Guan and Zhang troops in Guiyang to return to the rescue. At the suggestion of Han Song, Guan Yu left Zhang Fei and 10,000 soldiers to defend Guiyang and personally led 10,000 troops to return to the rescue.
Who knew that in the northern part of Xiangnan County, the 30,000 troops of the coalition were ambushed, and the 10,000 troops were wiped out, and even Guan Yu himself was killed on the spot by Wei Yan and Yue Xi.
The news was brought back to Changsha by the soldiers who managed to escape. Liu Bei was extremely sad when he heard the news. He wanted to mobilize all the troops in Changsha to fight a decisive battle with the coalition forces, but was dissuaded by Jian Yong and others. In the end, he had to lead a thousand soldiers to escape south via Liling, while the coalition forces followed him and beat them all the way until they reached the city of Chen County.
