"It seems that Cao Cao has blocked this wave after all!"

Xing Daorong secretly praised himself that Prime Minister Cao was indeed extraordinary, and the four great princes joined forces and were all blocked one by one.

But what he was most concerned about was of course Jiangdong, so he asked:

"Where is Sun Quan and Zhou Yu?"

"Sun Quan led 100,000 troops into Xuzhou, and he had already collected all the land of Xuzhou!"

Liu Ba bowed and said:

"Not only that, a month ago, he defeated the Tibetan barbarians who came to Qingzhou to intercept them and attacked Qingzhou. Later, Cao Hong brought 50,000 people to support the Tibetan barbarians, but he still lost. He has retreated to the defense of Beihai County!"

"oh?"

Xing Daorong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Sun Shiwan to have such a glorious side?

But it is normal. Sun Quan was a person who followed Sun Ce to conquer the world in his youth, and he was somewhat capable.

What's more, as far as he knows, Lu Su was also a military advisor in Sun Quan's army, as well as generals Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong and other powerful generals, how could they be opponents?

Can't beat Zhang Liao or even Tibetan tyrants?

"What's wrong with Shouchun?"

Nodded, Xing Daorong asked with concern.

Two months ago, he had Jiangxia. At that time, Cao Ren's large army began to go to Shouchun to support Zhang Liao. I believe that if Cao Ren had 150,000 troops, Zhang Liao's life would be better, right?

"Lost!"

Liu Ba shook his head and said:

"The Ma Lai reported that Zhou Yu had trained a new elite soldier of thousands of people. Not only were they all known as "warriors" in the army, but they had strong combat power, and like the lord's "Tiangang Axe Guard", they could ignore the skills of the generals!"

"Taishici used the 'Eight-sided Golden Lock', and this elite soldier took the opportunity to wait for the city head, ignoring the burning of the siege, occupying the city wall where the siege ladder was located, and the Jiangdong army was able to rush forward!"

"Cao Ren was stabbed by Taishi Ci, and his vanguard Niu Jin was killed. Zhang Liao was unable to beat his hand. In the end, he had to abandon the city and leave!"

"Now, Zhang Liao and Cao Ren have retreated to Runan. Zhou Yu took advantage of the victory to pursue the army, and the army surrounded Runan City and attacked day and night. Cao's army was in poor condition!"

"ah!"

Xing Daorong opened his mouth wide and looked at Liu Ba and Pang Tong in surprise.

Zhou Yu is so fierce?

"Zichu, what's wrong with Zhou Yu training a thousand elite soldiers?"

He sensitively noticed the problem and asked immediately.

"Zhou Yu also has 'elite' level elite soldiers? I have never heard of it in time and space!"

Xing Daorong thought strangely.

Since he is a "warrior" level, like the "Tiangang Axe Guard", he can ignore the skills of the generals, so he must be an "elite".

But in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there seems to be no such special elite soldiers under Zhou Yu's command?

"It is said that the elite soldier is called the 'Embroidered Blood Guard'!"

Liu Ba said with a serious expression:

"There are more than a thousand people, and they are named after wearing brocade clothes and unparalleled battles and fighting. Each 'Brother Blood Guard' has the strength of a military marquis and a military sage, and is an enemy of a hundred people!"

"It was precisely because of the 'Embroidered Blood Guard' that Zhou Yu took down Shouchun City in one fell swoop. In my opinion, Runan may not last long!"

"Embroidered Blood Guard?"

When Xing Daorong heard this strange name, he murmured to himself.

I have never heard of the new recruits. It should have been developed by Zhou Yu himself, but you can tell that it is very powerful by the name.

"I don't know how powerful the force is, is it more than thirty or forty? If it's more than 40, it's really no worse than my brother's 'Tiangang Axe Guard'!"

Xing Daorong thought to himself.

"Before Zhou Yu's Northern Expedition, there were no such elite troops in the army. It should have been formed soon!"

Pang Tong, who has not spoken for a long time, said:

"Since the changes in the world, the combat power of soldiers has been increasing. In fact, Tong also feels that it is possible to improve more than 'Richs', but it has never been able to get the key points!"

After looking at Pang Tong, Xing Daorong seemed to be thinking.

Indeed, since the changes in the world, the combat power of soldiers has been continuously improved, from the earliest "peasants who picked up weapons" to junior soldiers with force of 5 or above, then "warriors" with force of 10 or above, and "rees" with force of 20 or above.

Then, there will naturally be elite troops with higher force.

In this way, sooner or later, the princes in the world will be able to master further "elite" troops, and their "Tiangang Axe Guard" cannot be called unique!

Yes, at the beginning, the system just said that Brother's personal guard was promoted to a special army, but it was not said that only Brother had a special army.

Xing Daorong understood.

The famous troops in time and space, such as the "Baima Yicong", "Xiliang Iron Cavalry", "Bingzhou Jingqi", "Baili Soldiers", etc., are most likely the "elite" troops of the same level as the "Tiangang Axe Guard".

By the way, Prime Minister Cao’s “Tiger and Leopard Cavalry” must be the same!

Of course, the training of a true "elite" army is difficult.

Gongsun Yan from Liaodong was said to have trained 30,000 "White Horse Yi Cong". I'm afraid most of them are "high-level cavalry". There must be very few "White Horse Yi Cong" at the truly "elite" level.

Even so, it is amazing. The 30,000 "Sharks" level "White Horse Yicong" must be an invincible army on the plain!

No wonder Xiahou Dun can't beat it. Even if Sima Yi gives advice, he will only attack and defend each other and will not gain the upper hand.

After all, military strategy is always based on righteousness, and any tricks can only be an auxiliary. When you have an invincible elite, as long as the main general does not make too much mistakes, the enemy will be helpless!

"It's time for Tiangang Axe Guard to expand further, and there are still a fewer than 1,500 people!"

Xing Daorong, who understood, immediately had the idea of ​​expanding the "Tiangang Axe Guard".

"If my brother's 'Tiangang Axe Guard' is all 'General'-level soldiers with a force of more than 50, no matter what kind of tiger and leopard cavalry, white warriors, etc., it's all a piece of cake!"

Xing Daorong thought to himself.

He was thinking divergently here, but Pang Tong continued to say:

"Previously, inspired by the lord's personal guard "Tiangang Axe Guard", Tong was just a little surprised, but after learning that Zhou Yu had trained the "Embroidered Blood Guard", he was quite inspiring!"

"only……!"

Shaking his head, Pang Tong said helplessly:

"I'm afraid I don't have this time now!"

"oh?"

Hearing Pang Tong say this, Xing Daorong immediately became interested and said:

"Shi Yuan will do it if he has any ideas. Just say whatever he needs!"

If Pang Tong could also understand the "elite" military training techniques like the "Embroidered Blood Guard", he would naturally be happy that he would not have time to do so.

"No hurry!"

Pang Tong bowed and said:

"Military information is urgent, there is no time now, let's talk about it when the battle is over!"

Putting down his hand, Pang Tong looked at Xing Daorong and said:

"Lord, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu both won consecutive victories. In addition to Xuzhou, Qingzhou is probably also expected to fall into Sun Quan's hands. In addition, Yuzhou faces Zhou Yu's powerful offensive, it is unlikely to be guaranteed!"

"Faced with such a great situation, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu will definitely be reluctant to retreat to Jiangdong. In this way, our army has plenty of time to destroy Lu Xun and seize Danyang County and Wu County!"

"Um!"

With his hands touching the thick beard under his jaw, Xing Daorong nodded slowly.

Zhou Yu had long wanted to seize the Central Plains. Now that he has such a good opportunity, how could he give up?

Of course, Jiangdong is Sun Quan's old nest and it is impossible to ignore it, but it is only limited to Lujiang, Danyang and Wujun. The other counties are sparsely populated, so it is not a pity to lose it.

Today's coastal counties are no longer as popular as the original time and space management by the Wu Kingdom for a hundred years. They are really deserted and have no potential.

On the contrary, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other major Central Plains were operated by the court during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It was extremely prosperous and had a large population. Although the area was much smaller than that of Yangzhou, its population was far above Yangzhou.

Even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were many wars in the Central Plains, and today's Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou are not much smaller than Yangzhou!

Especially in Yuzhou, Chuchu estimated that the population was at least five million, which is comparable to the huge Yangzhou area!

The prosperity of Yuzhou can be seen by the declining ghost Yuan Shu as a supporter!

Xuzhou was massacred by Cao Cao three times, with a large population of more than 2 million, while Qingzhou has at least 3 million.

In this way, the population of Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou alone is as high as tens of millions. If it can be managed, wouldn’t it be better than Yangzhou?

Because of this, even though they knew that Xing Daorong sent troops to seize Jiangdong counties and even defeated Cheng Pu's army, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu did not lead their troops back to Jiangdong.

I can't bear to bear it!

"But Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's patience is also limited. If our army destroys the Luxun army in Poyang Lake or captures Danyang County, Zhou Yu will inevitably withdraw his troops and return to aid!"
