Chapter 396: Four-Way Battle!
【Sword of the King】 should be the sword forged by Xu Zhao and belonging to the King of Nanzhao, just like the sword of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Emperor's Sword【Red Dragon Sword】!
The King's Sword must be extraordinary. Lin Mu has never obtained it, and does not know its true meaning for the time being, but from some records and sporadic information obtained from Yinglong Longchu, we can understand a little.
Of course, this is the real Emperor's Sword, not the three kinds of "Swords of Will" that Longchu said at the beginning!
It is not as fierce as those handed down from ancient times. Moreover, Xu Zhao, who has the foundation of a county, cannot forge the kind of handed down swords recorded in the classics.
The Emperor's Sword, the Imperial Seal of the Country, and the List of Dragon Ministers of Heaven and Earth, these three sets are important symbols of a country!
The [Chapter of the Kingdom] in Cao Cao's hand should be the book chapter that records the orthodox method of establishing a kingdom!
And the [Imperial Seal of Nanzhao] obtained by Sun Jian should be the magical jade seal that Xu Zhao held in his right hand that day!
【Nan Zhao Imperial Seal】, should be the national seal of Nan Zhao, with the function of promulgating the national laws of Nan Zhao, but now Nan Zhao has been completely destroyed by the princes, this jade seal should not have the national seal.
Unless Sun Jian establishes a new country and uses it as the jade seal of a country, it will play its true role. However, simply speaking, this jade seal should still be considered a defensive prop. The white light curtain it emits is extremely solid. Shi A, who has the cultivation of the heavenly level, tried his best to cut the light curtain, but it was unscathed!
Unfortunately, he was targeted by Xu Zhao and fell into a coma, missing many opportunities.
After sorting out his thoughts a little, Lin Mu smiled bitterly and patted his forehead.
"My lord, this information happened before Dian Wei led the troops away. After Dian Wei's troops left, other things happened during the ten days when the lord was in a coma. Do you need me to tell you now, or do you want to rest for a while and wait until your injuries recover a little?" Yu Jin said with concern.
"No need to do that. I'm a man of steel, can't I bear this little hardship? Why wait for recovery? By then, many important things may be too late!" Lin Mu waved his hand.
Lin Mu turned his eyes away from Yu Jin and looked around. He found that Long Chu, who looked free and easy, was more casual. Zhou Tai, Li Dian, Yu Jin and Cui Wu all stood upright beside the bed, looking like ministers reporting to the monarch.
"You all move a chair and sit over. There's no need to be restrained. Everyone has always been more casual when discussing matters. Why do I feel that you are a little... cautious today?" Lin Mu teased.
However, in his heart, he did feel that the attitudes of these several tiger generals seemed to have changed subtly! Become respectful and cautious!
"Uh, this... OK!" Everyone was slightly startled, and then smiled and responded.
In fact, it was because Lin Mu obtained the Three Dragons' Luck that they became a little restrained.
Then, several generals brought chairs over and surrounded Lin Mu's bed to discuss matters.
"Great! This way, everyone will be less restrained and can speak freely!" Lin Mu raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
Generally speaking, Lin Mu allowed everyone to speak freely, but Lin Mu found that Zhou Tai and Li Dian were both a little taciturn, so Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and asked Yu Jin: "Wen Ze, tell me, what else happened after I fell into a coma!"
In fact, in his heart, Lin Mu had already vaguely guessed what would happen in these days.
"First of all, after the lord fell into a coma and all the treasures were owned by their owners, I will briefly mention the whereabouts of the princes. Dian Wei's troops left the Qinglong Secret Realm directly, while Sun Jian's troops, Wang Lang's troops, and Cao Cao's troops all stayed in Qinglong City! Among them, Sun Jian occupied the East City, Cao Cao occupied the South City, and Wang Lang, after our troops evacuated Qinglong City, directly occupied the West City and the North City!"
"When the situation gradually became tense, our troops resolutely evacuated and returned to Jiuyou Town, which was also considered to be prepared to firmly guard the town to prevent other princes from attacking."
"The three princes in Qinglong City had a heated discussion on the ownership of Qinglong City, Qinglong Island, and even Qinglong Secret Realm! The bad news is that they refused us to participate in the discussion on the grounds that the lord was in a coma!"
"So, at that time, we didn't know the information. However, on the third day after the lord fell into a coma, they invited us to have a fight!" Yu Jin said calmly.
"Fighting?!" Lin Mu raised his eyebrows and said softly.
"Sure enough, these guys won't start a war so easily!" Lin Mu shouted in a low voice.
"Now everyone is a minister of the Han Dynasty Dragon Court, with specific constraints, and they won't fight privately!" Zhou Tai, who had been silent beside him, spoke up and hit the nail on the head.
Lin Mu nodded.
"Since it is a fight between generals, there must be a winner and a loser. However, everyone is a friendly army, so there must be a stake for winning or losing, right? What do they use as a stake?" Lin Mu said softly with a calm face.
A friendly army fighting a general is like a gambling fight, a gambling war!
"That's right, just as the lord thought, the stakes are divided by the victory or defeat of the fight. As for the stakes, they use the treasures, materials, and even captives and territories they have obtained from Qinglong City as stakes!" Yu Jin said with a flash of excitement in his eyes.
Hearing Yu Jin's words, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel excited. Lin Mu had seen such gambling fights in his previous life, but they were all at the player level, and the grade was very low.
Now, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Wang Lang and other big names are gambling and fighting. What kind of fight will it be? !
A blush flashed across Lin Mu's face, but when he thought about missing the gambling fight, he couldn't help but feel discouraged. However, there should be many more gambling fights like this in the future.
After a moment of silence, Lin Mu asked again in a low voice: "How is the gambling fight going?"
"We should have participated, right? How is it, did we win?" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"My lord, do you mind us making decisions on our own?" Li Dian, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted and asked with a hint of doubt.
Lin Mu turned his eyes to Li Dian, and found that he looked a little disappointed at this time, and there was also a sense of discouragement in his words. Did Li Dian lose the gambling fight?
No wonder Li Dian, who is usually good at speaking, didn't say much just now, because he was forbidden to speak! That's it!
"Of course, I'm unconscious. You are all capable generals. You can make decisions based on the situation. I, your lord, believe in you!"
"Mancheng, you won't lose in the gambling fight, right? Hehe, there's no need to do that. Life is full of successes and failures. No one is always the winner!" Lin Mu encouraged with a smile.
"Haha, yes, what you said makes sense, lord. However, Mancheng didn't always lose. He won two games for us!" Yu Jin laughed and patted Li Dian, who was sitting next to him, on the shoulder.
"Oh, come on, tell me the general situation in detail!" Although Lin Mu guessed that the princes would gamble, he was quite interested in the specific process. Unfortunately, he didn't see such a grand occasion. In Lin Mu's mind, this gambling fight must be more exciting than the encirclement and suppression of Xu Zhao!
"On the third day after the lord fell into a coma, the princes invited us to fight. After a day of preparation, Lord Feng Zhong took me, Mancheng, and Gongyi, and led 50,000 elite troops to the huge square in front of the Nanzhao Palace to fight. Youping led the soldiers to guard Jiuyou Town to prevent any accidents. Xuan Gao returned to the Great Wilderness Territory to retreat and break through on the second day after the lord fell into a coma."
"When we got there, the princes began to discuss the issue of bargaining chips." Yu Jin paused here, stared at Lin Mu and asked: "Lord, you don't mind us using the two items you fought hard to snatch from Xu Zhao's arms as bargaining chips?"
"No, I believe you, but it should be other princes who asked you to do this!" Lin Mu smiled and shook his head.
"Yes, it was Sun Jian who asked! If my guess is correct, Sun Jian has learned about the items the lord has obtained from the captive Ling Cao!" Yu Jin nodded.
"Originally, they wanted to use the Territory Stone in Lord Feng Zhong's hand as a plan, but Lord Feng Zhong was worried that the mysterious Territory Stone would be exposed, so he directly refused."
"They probably didn't know that the Territory Stone existed. We later asked the captive Zhang Hong, and he didn't know that this stone existed either." Yu Jin said.
Lin Mu nodded. Lin Mu also knew Zhang Hong, but he didn't know what he looked like.
In the mythological world, if you are not a very famous strategist, you basically don't know much about him. On the one hand, strategists have few opportunities to show up, and on the other hand, everyone prefers historical generals!
Of course, those super strategists, such as Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, and Zhou Yu, have different attitudes. They are like stars and are very popular with everyone!
"My lord, this is a general record of the gambling fight." Yu Jin took out several pieces of paper full of Chinese characters from his marching bag and gently handed them to Lin Mu.
"My lord, you can take a look at the general situation first. If you have any questions, you can ask us." Yu Jin said softly.
"Okay!" Lin Mu took the paper and read it immediately.
