Chapter 510 Triumph

After receiving Shang Ji's order, Zhao Yun and Liu Meng immediately accelerated their marching speed, and rushed all night to join forces with Shang Ji at noon the next day!

The arrival of the two men with a total of 100,000 troops greatly eased Shang Ji's plight of insufficient troops, and Liu Meng even brought Shang Ji a big surprise!

With the arrival of Liu Meng's army, the emotions of the Xianbei prisoners of war quickly stabilized, and the resistance of the other six Xianbei middle and lower classes to surrender to the Han people was greatly reduced!

This is by no means as simple as increasing the number of troops and enhancing deterrence.

Liu Meng's special title of "Wolf King" and his special physique of the "Wolf God" are fatal to the Xianbei people, and the Tanlangqi is born out of Xianbei's unique special army wolf cavalry. Its predecessor, the Sirius Cavalry, symbolizes Xianbei supreme force.

Liu Meng led a greedy wolf rider and swaggered through the Xianbei tribe with the wolf god's war blade, a symbol of Xianbei's royal power. Even without saying a word, the ordinary herdsmen of the six tribes of Xianbei knelt down on the ground consciously, and the loyalty of the Xianbei nobles who had surrendered to the merchants skyrocketed.

Those Xianbei diehards whose loyalty was only in the 30s and 40s jumped to 60 or 70, and the surrenders who had high loyalty generally reached around 80!

After Liu Meng wandered around among the 300,000 captives of Xianbei in the east, the resistance of the captured Xianbei soldiers basically dissipated, and even the eyes of the captured Xianbei nobles flashed strange colors!

Both Shang Ji and Liu Meng underestimated the influence of the Wolf King and the Wolf God Battle Blade within Xianbei!

If it weren't for worrying about being overwhelmed and leaving hidden dangers due to eating too much at one time, Shang Ji could now use 200,000 elite special arms as the backbone, and then recruit 500,000 servants from the six Xianbei and captured troops. Then rely on a small number of Xianbei leading parties, cooperate with Liu Meng's influence, and conquer the entire eastern Xianbei in one fell swoop!

However, Shang Ji gave up this tempting idea after serious consideration!

Although doing so can quickly conquer Xianbei, this conquest is only superficial. Pingzhou has not made corresponding preparations. Shangji must rely on Xianbei nobles to rule the grassland. This kind of model of changing the soup without changing the medicine might turn out to be another Wuhuan, who finally listened to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement, and even stabbed him in the back at a critical moment.

Moreover, rashly launching such a large-scale war will inevitably seriously affect Pingzhou's three-year plan. At this time, what Pingzhou needs is hard work on internal strength, because the good development trend was interrupted by the war, so the gain outweighs the gain.

In the end, once Shang Ji did this, Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen would definitely give up the fight immediately because of the cold lips and teeth, and instead fight Shang Ji wholeheartedly.

The scumbags of Xianbei in the east are not worth mentioning, but Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen are not easy to mess with. In a full-scale battle with them, Pingzhou's 4 million troops must attack with the whole army to have any hope of winning.

Now that Pingzhou has just stabilized, once the regular army is all transferred, Shang Ji can't even imagine what the chaos will be like in the local area!

Shang Ji, Deng Yan, Liu Yi and other core executives of Pingzhou have already made a strategic plan, and there will be no all-out war until the first three-year plan of Pingzhou is completed!

In view of the above reasons, Shang Ji simply gave up his plan to fully occupy the eastern Xianbei.

However, in order to make up for his psychological loss, Shang Ji waved his hand and increased the calculated ransoms of the Xianbei nobles by 10% collectively!

Their ransom has been calculated, and Shang Ji is very satisfied with the overall figure. If the ransom can be paid in full as expected, the harvest from this wave of extortion will not be less than that from the previous war.

Shang Ji has already released some cronies of the Xianbei nobles, and asked them to go back with tokens that can prove their identities to pass the news, so that the "hostage relatives" should hurry up and prepare a ransom to redeem them!

However, Shang Ji expressed doubts about whether they could pay the ransom in full. These people may have been rich in the tribe before, but now they are captured after all. How much influence and control they still have over the tribe today is unknown.

Thinking darkly, maybe those unfilial sons are waiting for their father to "die in battle" to inherit wealth and power! The power struggle within Xianbei is bloodier and crueler than Handi!

But Shang Ji doesn't mind either.

If they couldn't get the ransom, they sold the more capable Xianbei nobles to Yanhuang. Yanhuang gave a five-star praise to the Wuhuan prisoners of war last time, and he wished Shangji would sell more batches!

Those who are not capable will be thrown into the engineering camp for labor reform, and they will be used as waste. Anyway, these Xianbei prisoners of war were originally a windfall.

After finishing everything quickly, Shang Ji rushed to Pingzhou with prisoners of war, trophies, and the six surrendered Xianbei.

Because of too much drag, the marching speed plummeted, and it took five full days to reach the border of Pingzhou.

The six Xianbei were temporarily placed here, and at the same time left a large amount of food and other living materials. Shang Ji left Liu Meng and Tanlangqi, and also left 50,000 black armor Xuanqi to protect (watch) (Shou) Six Xianbei, waiting for further processing.

Shang Ji and Zhao Yun returned to Xiangping with a large amount of spoils.

Shang Ji's triumphant return directly overwhelmed the popularity of the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Association, and the princes in Xiangping City went out of the city to greet Deng Yan and others in person.

Looking at the densely packed prisoners of war and the endless cattle, sheep and horses, the princes from all walks of life have different expressions.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, etc. were deeply afraid, and raised the threat level of Pingzhou again. While Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu were drooling at Shang Ji's rich spoils, and at the same time, they couldn't wait to make a plan to go north to Xianbei!

They are quite familiar with Shang Ji, especially Lu Bu. The two armies fought together for several months. Lu Bu also had a relatively clear understanding of the Black Armored Xuanqi.

He admits that the Black Armored Xuanqi is better than his Bingzhou Wolfrider, but Shang Ji's one hundred thousand Xuanjia attacked and brought back so many cattle, sheep and war horses. Satisfy!

When Lu Bu went to Wuyuan County, he had only 50,000 Bingzhou wolf riders who lacked clothing and food to rely on, which was even worse than Liu Bei! But he just relied on his personal force to quickly gain a foothold and unified the military and political power of Wuyuan County!

What's even more astonishing is that Chen Gong, the top S-level strategist from Yanzhou, didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he ran all the way to Bingzhou Lu Bujun to recommend himself!

The scene of the pie falling in the world made Lu Bu so happy that he immediately appointed Chen Gong as the governor of Wuyuan County and the chief official of the Hun Zhonglang, which can be described as the most respected!

And Chen Gong lived up to Lü Bu's high hopes, and assisted Lv Bu to manage Wuyuan properly, and even intervened in the military and political affairs of the surrounding counties in the name of protecting the Xiongnu Zhonglang, which greatly enhanced the strength and influence of Lv Bu's army. This time, Shang Ji's big wedding, Lu Bu personally came to congratulate him, and Chen Gong was responsible for staying in Wuyuan!

The arrival of Chen Gong has made up for Lv Bu's shortcomings, and the strength of Lv Bu's army has rapidly expanded. The current Lv Bu is the most powerful prince among the separatist princes, second only to the Shang Dynasty!

However, Lu Bu is strong and strong, but he also has something to worry about-serious financial shortage!

Like Pingzhou, Wuyuan in Lu Bu's jurisdiction is a barren land. He is not like Shang Ji, He Lian and Qiu Liju have selflessly dedicated their family fortune to help Shang Ji develop.

And Lu Bu was eager to expand the army, which aggravated the financial difficulties. Before coming here, Chen Gong had already done a calculation for Lu Bu. According to the current situation, Lu Bu's army would go bankrupt within three months.

This time Lu Bu came to Pingzhou in person, maybe he didn't mean to ask Shang Ji to borrow some money to tide over the difficulties temporarily.

Seeing that Shang Ji had brought back so many spoils in less than ten days after going out today, Lu Bu seemed to have seen a new way to get rich!

He didn't want to borrow money unless he had to!

Deng Yan has a lot of experience in accepting large quantities of trophies such as cattle, sheep, war horses, etc. After returning to Xiangping, Shang Ji doesn't need to worry about it anymore. Deng Yan will handle it properly, and Shang Ji will wait for his final report !

I met with the princes who came to greet me, expressed my apology for leaving suddenly, and then thanked them for coming out of the city to welcome me. In short, after some false politeness, Shang Ji returned to Xiangping City.

Everything in Xiangping City remained the same, and nothing changed because of Shang Ji's sudden departure and return. But vaguely, Shang Ji seemed to feel that Xiangping City was more prosperous?

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Shang Ji recruited Guo Biao. He urgently needed to find out in detail what had happened in the past few days since he left.

"My lord, everything is normal after you left. Although some generals who came to participate in the competition complained about the sudden postponement of the conference, there was no trouble under Bie Jia's reassurance. Now the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference is going smoothly, and the preliminary competition is approaching. At the end, it is expected that the day after tomorrow will start the rematch!"

It took only ten days before and after this campaign to end, which is extremely fast. However, this time eventually exceeded Shang Ji's seven-day deadline.

Shang Ji was also embarrassed to continue to postpone. After several Pingzhou high-level officials discussed through the communication stone, the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference officially opened without Shang Ji's absence!

The competition is mainly divided into three parts, which are the preliminary round - the rematch - the final. At present, the preliminary round has come to an end.

The so-called preliminary competition is actually a further competition for the contestants. At the beginning, Shangji deliberately recruited talents and set the registration requirements relatively low. Second-rate military generals were eligible to register.

However, the second-rate martial arts will participate in the world's number one martial arts conference, isn't this a joke? So the preliminary round is to screen out these obviously unqualified candidates!

Liu Yi and his team recruited all the super-class generals who were available to serve as the judges of the judging panel, and all contestants whose combat strength was below super-class were all excluded.

But before the defeated generals were lost, they felt the meticulous care from the princes from all sides.

Not only Shangji and Yanhuang's family, but also princes, and even many less powerful player forces have joined the battle for talent in these contestants.

Money, beauties, power, status, all kinds of conditions are constantly thrown at the failed generals, and there is a tendency to loot college graduates in the 1980s and 1990s!
