Chapter 1151: Ji Ling VS Guan Yu
Because of Li Feng's unfathomable performance before, Liu Bei and Cao Cao raised 12 points of caution and treated Yuan Shujun absolutely beyond the standard. On Cao Cao's side, in addition to leaving Cao Hong to stay in Luoyang, Xiahou Dun guarded Lu Bu and Diao Chan's army in the north, and the other main generals came out.
Liu Bei's lineup is not bad, only Zhang Fei is left to guard Xuzhou City, and all the rest of the elite soldiers are dispatched.
Objectively speaking, this lineup is really gorgeous, and they are all qualified to directly compete with Shang Ji.
However, both Cao Cao and Liu Bei were somewhat uncertain about this battle.
Neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei is blind. They both have spy units like Qianhuan and Yingyi Miwu. It is not difficult to spy on the news of Shouchun City.
According to information from various sources, Yuan Shu at this time is very difficult to mess with!
In Dazhong's military system, the strongest combat power is naturally the Dazhong Imperial Guard Army directly under the 200,000 Yuan Shu. These people were originally Yuan Shu's pro-army, and their combat effectiveness was quite impressive.
Under normal circumstances, when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, these troops would be transformed into imperial guards, and some of them would be upgraded on the original basis to become exclusive special arms of the state.
As for how much it can be improved, it is closely related to the national destiny.
However, Yuan Shu obviously did not take the usual path. Judging from the appearance, the grand fortune of the Zhong Kingdom at this time even surpassed the heyday of the Han Dynasty. With the blessing of the National Games, the combat effectiveness of the Dazhong Imperial Guard has also improved geometrically, and its combat effectiveness is quite strong.
Under the imperial guards is the Dazhong Protectorate Army.
Because the imperial guards had a strict number limit, and only Yuan Shu could command and dispatch them, and they could not be dispatched unless the emperor of Zhongguo personally drove them, so in essence, the National Guard Army was the real pillar of Dazhong's military system.
Moreover, unlike the Imperial Guard, the National Defense Army can be freely expanded and adapted. As long as there is enough support, it can form as many as you want.
And Yuan Shu was a big local tyrant among the princes before he became emperor, and the amount of reserves of many materials was even inferior to that of Shang Ji. Therefore, the number of the Zhongguo National Defense Army also rapidly expanded in a balloon-blowing manner. According to the information obtained by the spies, the total size of the Dazhong National Defense Army at this time was no less than three million, and it was still expanding rapidly.
Again, it is Dazhong's fierce soldier.
The requirements of Dazhong's soldiers are lower, and the speed of formation is faster. At present, the number of Dazhong's soldiers has exceeded 20 million. It can be said that the main force under Yuan Shu's command is at least the Dazhong's soldiers, and the overall combat power has doubled several times compared to before he became emperor.
In addition to the special army, Yuan Shu also took advantage of the opportunity of the soaring popularity of the people as soon as he became emperor, and recruited troops on a large scale, so that the size of Yuan Shu's army expanded rapidly, and the total number of troops was about to reach 200 million.
Facing such a behemoth, both Liu Bei and Cao Cao are under great pressure.
Seeing that Yuan Shu was getting stronger and stronger, Liu Bei and Cao Cao could no longer hold back. After a brief discussion, Zhang Fei's proposal was adopted, and the two armies did not belong to each other, and attacked Jiujiang and Runan respectively.
Facing the attack of the two armies, Yuan Shu did not show any weakness, and also divided his troops into two groups to meet the enemy directly.
General Zhang Xun of the Zhongguo Army set off from Runan County to lead the troops to face Cao Cao.
Although Zhang Xun's name is not as good as Ji Ling, in Zhongguo's military system, he ranks as a general, and his status is still higher than Ji Ling (general of chariots and riders).
At this time, due to the bonus of luck in Zhongguo, unless the original combat power gap is very large, whoever has a higher official position will be stronger. Therefore, Zhang Xun's combat power at this time is not weaker than the strengthened Ji Ling.
While Zhang Xun led the troops to set off, Ji Ling was not idle, leading the army northward to fight Liu Bei again!
Although Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, did not participate in the battle, Cao, Liu, and Yuan allied themselves, and tens of millions of troops stood beside Liu Biao, how could they really turn a blind eye?
Liu Biao sent out all the best soldiers under his command, and Chen Bing border, although nominally said to protect the border and the people, but the actual situation is clear to everyone.
But secretly, whether it is Yuan Shu, Liu Bei or Cao Cao, they all despise Liu Biao to the extreme. At this time, both sides are either you or me. Liu Biao still wants to continue to be a fool, which is short-sighted.
After this war,
No matter which side wins, it is impossible to continue to keep Liu Biao.
Ever since Ji Ling was named Zhongguo's Chariot General, his strength has greatly improved, and his desire to seek revenge from Liu Bei has become more and more urgent. After obtaining the authorization from Yuan Shu, the vengeful Ji Ling personally acted as the vanguard as the marshal of the Chinese army, and led the 100,000 elite Dazhong National Guard Army to the north at high speed, attacking cities and lands all the way, with overwhelming momentum.
On Liu Bei's side, Mi Fang was sent as the vanguard.
However, Liu Bei hid his hand. On the surface, Mi Fang was the vanguard, but in fact the vanguard was the hidden Guan Yu.
Liu Bei's original intention was to show the enemy his weakness first. At the critical moment, Guan Yu made a sudden move and gave Ji Ling a ruthless move. It would be great if he could kill Guan Yu on the spot!
However, Liu Bei never expected that such a careful arrangement would end up with such a disastrous result!
When the vanguards of the two sides met, new and old hatred added up, and they immediately became one.
Ji Ling even took the lead and rushed to the strongest side, with the goal of going straight to Mi Fang.
Seeing this, Guan Yu applauded secretly in his heart, and quickly instructed Mi Fang to fight to attract Ji Ling's attention. Guan Yu hid in the dark, and when the battle situation became anxious, he suddenly rushed out, trying to keep Ji Ling.
Mi Fang understood, and led her personal guards to greet Ji Ling.
However, both Guan Yu and Mi Fang underestimated Ji Ling. Especially Guan Yu, his impression of Ji Ling was still at the time of the battle against Dong. Although he knew that Ji Ling had strengthened a lot because of Yuan Shu's proclaiming the emperor, he didn't particularly take it to heart.
When Ji Ling saw Mi Fang, she was overjoyed immediately, and immediately killed her.
As soon as Mi Fang and Ji Ling fought, they secretly thought it was bad!
With just one blow, Mi Fang felt a huge force coming from the weapon, and the spear in her hand almost fell out of her hand, the blood in her chest was churning, and her arms were numb and weak.
"General Guan, help!"
Mi Fang was horrified and didn't care about her face, so she shouted at the top of her voice.
"waste!"
Guan Yu cursed secretly, but couldn't keep hiding any longer, so he immediately shouted angrily, and slapped his horse out.
Ji Ling was taken aback by Mi Fang's sudden yelling, and when he saw Guan Yu appearing, a look of ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and he laughed and said, "I didn't expect there to be a big fish here!"
As he said that, Ji Ling swung the three-pointed and two-edged spear and stabbed it three times like lightning. A three-eyed blood hole the size of a copper coin appeared on Mi Fang's chest.
"How dare you, thief!!"
Seeing Ji Ling kill Mi Fang in front of his face, Guan Yu's chest was filled with anger.
Although he has never looked down on Mi Fang, or Guan Yu, except for Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, he looks down on all the civil servants and generals of Liu Bei's army, but after all, he is in the army, and being killed by the enemy in front of his own face is simply against him. provocation!
Guan Yu shouted angrily and charged towards Ji Ling.
