Chapter 1240: Luo Yang Changes Hands

Cao Hong or people in the world only saw that Shang Ji violently attacked the noble families, and thought that all the noble families were the targets of Shang Ji's attack, but they ignored one point. All the wealthy families targeted by Shang Ji have one common feature - occupying a large number of people. land resources!

In feudal times, land was the greatest wealth. But Fenghuo is not a feudal era in the true sense. Although the background of the Fenghuo family is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are extremely prosperous commercial activities.

Before the player entered Fenghuo, a super business family like the Zhen family had already spread their business to every corner of the world. And with the massive influx of players into the Beacon, the commercial trade in Beacon is increasing steadily.

And once the aborigines are not stupid, the children of the aristocratic families who have been educated by elites since childhood are generally smarter than the players. Inspired by the players, many aristocratic families began to change careers, invested heavily in business and trade, and achieved quite brilliant achievements.

The Fu family, Xun family, and Yang family who dared to invest in Luoyang City are among the best, and these people can be regarded as new families.

Although they also occupy a large amount of land, the main source of family wealth is not land, but various commercial trades and high-end manufacturing.

In the whole of China, the most successful commercial trade is Shangji!

With the solid foundation laid by the Zhen family, and a large number of top talents such as the Liu family, Gongshuban, Hephaestus, and Nonghe joining in, the business is engaged in important industries such as wine, equipment, grain, elixirs, war horses, shipping, and fur. Has a strong influence.

These industries also happen to be the most profitable in Beacon.

The new aristocratic families such as the Yang family, the Fu family, and the Xun family are doomed to be restricted by business forces if they want to intervene in these industries.

Compared with the huge commercial interests, land output has become an insignificant part. It is not unacceptable for the Yang family to give up the occupied land resources and fully transform into a new type of business family.

On the contrary, it was blindly resisting to the end, Luoyang City was completely blocked, and all commerce and trade basically stopped, so the interests of the Yang family and others were seriously damaged.

Cao Hong thought that the Yang family and others belonged to aristocratic families, so they had the same interests as Cao, but in fact it was just the opposite!

As for the money they gave Cao Hong after Fu Wan, it was just to paralyze Cao Hong and provide cover for the operation.

In addition to the big families such as the Yang family and the Xun family, there are countless small families in Luoyang City. The influence of these small families is far less than that of the three big families, but there are so many of them, and they are an extremely huge force when combined.

And Luoyang was completely controlled by Diaochan for a time, with Diaochan's cunning tricks, how could it be possible not to arrange hidden tricks in Luoyang City? Even Fu Wan himself didn't know that his good daughter Fu Shou, who was also the Queen Fu in history, had a very close relationship with Diao Chan.

That night, Diao Chan's secret agents joined forces with the Yang, Xun, and Fu families to launch a coup, opening the city gates and letting Diao Chan's army enter the city.

Cao Hong was caught off guard and was defeated by Diao Chan's army, which was cooperating with both inside and outside. In the end, he only led a small number of guards out of the city gate and defected to Cao. The imperial city Luoyang changed hands overnight.

By the way, Xun You of the Xun family is loyal to Cao, but it is a pity that the Xun family does not have the final say on Xun You, and even in order to prevent Xun You from leaking secrets, the Xun family's plan directly excludes Xun You. Poor Xun You is still working hard on the front line of Yanzhou to advise Cao against Shang Ji's attack, but he doesn't know that his family stabbed Cao severely.

After Luo Yang's nail was pulled out, Diao Chan's control area and Shang Ji's control area directly bordered on all sides. Diao Chan's army rectified a little, and then sent troops southward, pointing directly at Yingchuan County!

The three-way army that besieged Cao became a four-way army, and Cao Jun, who had been struggling to support, suddenly had a harder time.

And at this critical juncture, two more pieces of news that were very unfortunate for Cao came out.

In the confrontation between General Xu Zhu of the Cao Army and General Dian Wei of the Shang Ji Army, both of them broke through to the SS rank, and Xu Zhu became the fourth SS general of a non-Shang Ji Army force after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

If it's just that, it's still a good thing for Cao. Although Shang Ji also had Dian Wei break through to the SS level, the ratio of SS level generals between the two sides on the battlefield has changed from 3:4 to 4:5. Relatively speaking, the gap between Cao Fang and Shang Ji in terms of top generals has narrowed .

However, not long after Xu Zhu's breakthrough, there was news from the Wa Kingdom that Liu Yi, a general of the Shangji Army, broke through and was promoted to SS-level general. There was even news that Liu Yi made a breakthrough earlier than Xu Zhu and Dianwei!

If this is the case, forget it, after all, Liu Yi is now in the country of Wa, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to affect the battlefield in the Central Plains in a short time.

However, what made Cao somewhat collapsed was that the battle plan organized by Wa Kingdom with Osaka Castle as the core, called [Empire Glory], ended in failure!

In this battle, Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the three most powerful aboriginal princes of the country, joined hands, and there were more than a dozen other princes, large and small.

The number of aliens from the Wa country area participating in this battle has reached an unprecedented 4 million. It can be said that almost all the combat players from the Wa country area have come!

Players plus aborigines, the Japanese side dispatched hundreds of millions of troops to start a fierce battle around Osaka Castle and the expeditionary force led by Liu Yi.

In this battle, Wang Shu and his Asura Legion showed their fangs, leaving a horrifying impression on the whole world.

At least 100,000 aliens died at the hands of Wang Shu and the Shurawei general with the soul-destroying trait, which means that 100,000 Japanese players died in this battle in a real sense!

When the news came out, the aliens were all panicked, and many aliens from the Japanese country even fled the battlefield directly. Even the Japanese players who continued to fight on the battlefield would run away as soon as they met Shurawei, and later even developed to the point where they immediately collapsed when they met the red armored army, just because of the blood-red armor of all Shurawei.

The player's army collapsed, and the native army did not get there.

Ordinary Tier 4 troops can't raise the will to resist against the heaven-defying murderous aura of the Asura Guards. If they add a bloody sea of ​​​​tooth and other shocking legion skills, except for a few special troops, almost no army can resist it. live.

Moreover, the Shura Legion is not the only ace army in the Japanese Expeditionary Army. Any one of the Lieyang Legion, Xingyao Legion, Legion, Ice Legion, Crazy Sword Legion, Shenwu Legion, and Zhanhu Legion can run rampant in the Wa Kingdom.

With so many ace troops gathered to start a decisive battle with the Waguo District, and Liu Yi, the commander, broke through to the SS level before the battle, how could the Waguo District be undefeated?

The three top vassals of the Wa Kingdom, Oda Nobunaga died in battle, Takeda Shingen was captured, Tokugawa Ieyasu disappeared, and there are more than a dozen other Wa Kingdom daimyos who were killed or captured. It can be said that the essence of the Wa Kingdom has been wiped out!

So far, the failure of the [Glory of the Empire] plan has declared that the Wa Kingdom District has completely lost its frontal resistance to the expeditionary force!

Moreover, after being slaughtered by the Shura Legion, it is difficult for Japanese players to raise the will to resist.

The end of the great battle in Osaka City also indicated that the Expeditionary Corps was finally able to mobilize troops to return to the Central Plains battlefield. This was terrible news for Cao!
