Chapter 703 The Seriously Injured Shang Ji
Seeing the Han army all over Touman City, Priest Quan's mouth turned bitter, and looking at the envoys with complex expressions behind him, Priest Quan knew very well that Xianbei was completely over!
After Shang Ji destroyed Longcheng, he patted his ass and left, which hurt the Xianbei people there. Because the elite guardian army who had returned was taken over by Shang Ji, the last hope of saving Xianbei in Longcheng was officially shattered.
In order to kill the Pingzhou expedition group, almost the entire Xianbei clan around Longcheng mobilized, and all men who could hold weapons went to the battlefield.
Then Shang Ji came down with a plague, and no tribe was spared.
Later, because of a large-scale mutiny, the entire Dragon City Xianbei group had no leader. Under the threat of the plague, all the Xianbei soldiers scattered and fled.
Normal people know that in the event of a large-scale plague outbreak, the most important thing to do is to isolate the epidemic and strictly control the flow of people. However, in the collapsed Dragon City Xianbei, obviously no one could do this, and the epidemic quickly spread to the surrounding tribes as the defeated soldiers scattered and fled.
During the more than a month of the decisive battle between Shang Ji and Ke Bineng, Longcheng Xianbei endured the plague all the time. Moreover, the entire epidemic is still spreading uncontrollably, and a large number of people and animals die tragically under the plague every day.
As the person with the highest status in Longcheng Xianbei, Quan Jiji naturally took over the important task of leading Longcheng Xianbei to fight against the epidemic!
However, Quan Ji, who is short of doctors and medicines and lacks effective countermeasures, can't eliminate the epidemic even if he tries his best.
And the distress letter he sent to Ke Bineng also fell into the sea, and there was no response at all.
Not long ago, Ju Luohou died, and the National Fortune War ended. As the only remaining chief priest in Xianbei, Quan Priest was naturally very sensitive to the National Fortune. Immediately after the national fortune war ended, he felt that the Xianbei national fortune had dissipated quickly. In the blink of an eye, the original majestic national fortune disappeared completely!
As a sacrificial priest, no one knows the serious consequences of clearing the national fortune better than him. Priest Quan simply gave up the needling, and personally led the envoys to the south to surrender their allegiance to Shang Ji.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, dozens of Xianbei nobles headed by Quan Sacrifice walked on their knees and entered the City Lord's Mansion tremblingly. Although they have decided to surrender, no one can guarantee how Shang Ji will treat them, and Shang Ji's sturdy record is enough to frighten them, so that they dare not act rashly.
In fact, they were completely overwhelmed, Xianbei is different from Wuhuan. Whether it is the number or strength, both are different from the essence. It is impossible for Shang Ji to deal with Xianbei in the same way he dealt with Wuhuan.
For the Xianbei nobles who voluntarily surrendered, Shang Ji welcomes them. He has no time, energy, or enough grassroots affairs officers to manage Xianbei's internal affairs.
After ruling Xianbei for a short time, Shang Ji could only rely on the original Xianbei nobles. It seems that it is no different from the powerful dynasties in history. They used tyrannical force to oppress foreign races to submit, and then they were unable to directly rule. They could only rely on some pro-Han foreign races to rule on their behalf.
However, Shang Ji is different from them in that he has the Battle Soul Monument as his support!
Shang Ji enthusiastically accepted the allegiance of Quan Jiji and others, and happily agreed to immediately deploy supplies and military forces to help Longcheng Xianbei control the epidemic.
Then Shang Ji did not discuss with any of the ministers, and ordered the original Central Xianbei and Eastern Xianbei to be divided into three Protectorate, and appointed three military generals who had never heard of it as the protectors of the three protectorate!
Immediately afterwards, before the generals could react from their confusion, Shang Ji announced that he would withdraw his troops from the grassland within half a month. Wan Dajun all withdrew from the grassland.
This explosive news not only caused an uproar within the Pingzhou Army, but even the princes who were always paying attention to the movement of the grassland were taken aback.
Liu Yi, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Liu Meng, Xi Zhicai and others persuaded him one after another, but none of these could change Shang Ji's mind, and the withdrawal plan was being carried out in an orderly manner.
For a time, all kinds of speeches were noisy in the world,
What Pingzhou is militaristic and its finances are on the verge of collapse; the Pingzhou army has suffered heavy losses and is no longer able to continue to control the grasslands. Even Shang Ji was seriously injured in the battle and is now dying. Everyone said that the nose has eyes, just like the real thing.
"Brother, how is the preparation of the food, medicinal materials and other materials transferred to the Longcheng Protectorate?" Shang Ji stretched his waist in the Mansion of Touman City and asked Liu Yi.
Liu Yi smiled helplessly, pointed at Shang Ji and said, "My brother, you are really free and easy in hiding, and let Brother Yu deal with the generals outside. Do you know that even Miss Haoyue came to visit you in person yesterday! "
"Hey, Brother Yu is seriously injured, isn't it healed!" Shang Ji chuckled, not caring about Liu Yi's pointing at all.
"How did everyone react? Didn't there be any big trouble?" After laughing, Shang Ji asked a little worriedly.
"It's okay, the situation can be stabilized for the time being. Brother, you are too risky this time, and it is easy for people with ulterior motives to take advantage of it!"
Liu Yi's face turned serious, and he couldn't help but speak out.
"Hey, isn't there an elder brother who is out here? What can you worry about, Brother Yu?"
"Oh, you!" Liu Yi smiled wryly and shook his head, got up and said, "I'll go and see how the preparations for the withdrawal of troops and the construction of the three Protectorate Mansions are going, so you can rest assured to 'heal your wounds'!"
"Hey, elder brother, go slowly, forgive me for being 'injured' and can't send him away!" Shang Ji spread out on the chair, waving his hands with a smile on his face.
There is no doubt that Shang Ji is feigning illness.
Although the three generals Li Guang, Huo Qubing, and Wei Qing had obtained the 30 pieces of war spirit stele, Shang Ji didn't intend to expose it so bluntly.
Although the War Soul Legion cannot participate in the internal war in the Huaxia region, judging from the current development trend, the outbreak of direct war terror between countries is not out of reach.
As the "old friends" of the Chinese people, the bears in the north will never give up the opportunity to go south for a bite once possible.
If the civil war in China is raging at that time, Mao Xiong sees that the defenses in the north of China are empty, and leads the expeditionary army to the grasslands to expand the territory. Then being overwhelmed by hundreds of millions of battle spirit legions, wouldn't it be a happy scene?
No matter how bad the merchants are, they can pretend to be outnumbered during foreign wars, hide the enemy troops into the grassland, and then use the power of the War Soul Corps to counterattack.
No matter what the situation is, the Battle Soul Legion cannot be easily exposed!
The guardians of the three major guards are naturally not unknown people, but the three generals Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Li Guang. With the permission of the three, their external names were temporarily changed to Wei Teng, Huo Rong, and Li Ding. The thirty-six war spirit monuments are divided into three parts, and each of the three major guard houses is twelve pieces.
The Battle Spirit Stele was only the size of a palm before it was placed, but once it was officially placed, it would expand into a huge black stele tens of feet high in a few seconds. Each war spirit stele contains tens of millions of war spirits, and thirty-six war spirit steles are enough to control the grassland to death!
This is also the reason why Shang Ji only left 100,000 troops in the grassland symbolically. With the army of war spirits, there is no difference between 100,000 troops and 10 million troops. Keep.
Since the Battle Soul Legion cannot be exposed, Shang Ji needs to find a plausible reason for withdrawing troops. Otherwise, leaving only 100,000 troops on the newly conquered grassland and then hastily withdrawing, it doesn't look like Shang Ji's usual style.
Since it is the withdrawal of troops, what more appropriate reason is there than that Shang Ji himself is critically ill? Being critically ill can not only have a reason to withdraw troops, but also reduce the vigilance of the princes towards themselves. In an environment where princes everywhere are deeply involved in the vortex of power and profit, Shang Ji, a Pingzhou Mu who has just conquered the grassland, is particularly glaring.
Whether it is Dong Zhuo or the princes, their vigilance against Shang Ji has risen rapidly. Shang Ji does not intend to make himself a target of public criticism. Therefore, it is a good way to pretend to be sick and let Pingzhou fall into a controllable chaos.
Under Shang Ji's deliberate dissemination, the detailed process of his battle with Ke Bineng was slightly modified and exposed. The only difference between the rumors and the facts is that in the end, Ke Bineng's knife did not disappear inexplicably, but fell on Shang Ji, causing him fatal injuries.
The subsequent recruitment of enemy troops and inspection of the barracks were all deliberate actions under strong support.
At the beginning, the players scoffed at the news. They are all players, how could they be seriously injured and dying? Even if he died, he would just lose some attributes. How could it cause turmoil in Pingzhou?
However, the spread of another gossip gradually made people believe it.
The specific attributes of [Return to One] were revealed by someone with a heart. After being promoted to the top military general, you will turn on Return to One, and you will really die after you die. This has caused an uproar among the player community, and it has also confirmed from the side that Shang Ji may be seriously injured and dying. !
For a while, the entire regime of the princes was overshadowed by Shang Ji's critical illness, and the Pingzhou Army was even more panicked. Facing the visiting generals, Shang Ji only summoned a few of them, accompanied by Liu Yi, and all the others disappeared.
For a while, there was no voice in the entire Pingzhou army questioning the withdrawal of the troops. Everyone wished to fly back to Pingzhou so that Shang Ji could receive treatment and recover as soon as possible.
On the other hand, under Shang Ji's deliberate connivance, some dubious people lurking in Pingzhou also quietly showed their heads. But what they didn't know was that Chen Guan was sullenly controlling Qian Huan to monitor them closely.
This is also the third purpose of Shang Ji's feigning illness - to take the opportunity to clean up the unstable factors in Pingzhou!
After half a year, it will be the national war. The national war merchants will definitely participate. God knows if there will be a fire in the backyard if there is no deterrence for a long time. If it is said that there is no force in Pingzhou that is hostile to Shang Ji, Shang Ji himself would not believe it!
In this case, then take the opportunity to detonate the unstable factors ahead of time and eliminate potential safety hazards!
