Chapter 199: Breaking through the realm and moving the sky [Subscribe]

Cao Cao breathed in and out, and in a trance, he seemed to have entered a special state.

The stars in the sky seemed to be in resonance with him, dropping wisps of light that were drawn in by the dragon of luck.

The core of both civil and military affairs in his sea of ​​consciousness and dantian were shining brightly.

As the time of practice increased, the dragon of luck behind him actually attracted a five-colored halo and merged into the luck.

Cao Cao's breakthrough gradually connected heaven and earth and triggered celestial phenomena.

His power is undergoing a qualitative change.

Outside the tent, Dian Wei was making even louder movements.

His every breath was as loud as thunder, stirring up waves of "storms".

The Cao army's camp seemed to be swept by a strong wind, and many tents were overturned!
Xu Chu glanced at Dian Wei and started breathing as well, competing with Dian Wei for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He breathed in a vibrating manner, and his abdomen expanded and contracted. When it expanded, it was as big as a drum, and when it contracted, the front and back of his belly stuck together, as thin as a piece of paper.

With each breath Xu Chu took in, he absorbed the Qi of heaven and earth, as if swallowing the ocean.

But Dian Wei was faster, as if he had opened a funnel in the void, and a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured into his body.

Cao Cao and the other two practiced breathing exercises together, and at first the Qi energy in the surrounding area of ​​dozens of feet was affected.

And then it continued to spread.

One hundred feet, one hundred and fifty feet, two hundred feet...

They could feel the air currents rising and falling with their breathing even from miles away.

In the sky, the clouds are pressing down.

The thunder roared.

In a blink of an eye, flashes of lightning appeared.

Inside the tent, behind Cao Cao, the dragon of luck soared straight up.

If there is someone who is good at observing qi, he will be able to see a huge pillar of condensed qi rising into the sky.

"Generals Dian and Xu have practiced very deeply!"

Such a big commotion has alarmed many people in the camp.

Jia Xu, Taishi Ci, and a group of generals came out to watch.

"Not only the two captains Dian and Xu, the fluctuations in the tent are equally alarming!" said Taishi Ci.

Inside the tent, it seemed as if someone was swallowing and spitting out lightning.

On the scales of the Dragon of Luck, lines of spell patterns are growing, as if corresponding to the wonders of heaven and earth, and appearing and disappearing with lightning.

[Your general Dian Wei has achieved a breakthrough in training, with a combat power of +0.5, now 94.5 (excluding weapon bonus)]

[You occupy Xuzhou, your popularity increases, and your luck turns into a dragon]

[Your cultural talent +1, 94 (Cultural talent 95 is the peak value. Once you reach the peak value, it can help you knock on the door of mythology)]

The destruction of Xia Pi and the conquest of Xuzhou, as well as the improvements made to himself and Cao's camp, ultimately converged on Cao Cao and helped him break through.

Cao Cao took a breath and slowly opened his eyes.

It felt like, after this breakthrough, he had touched upon another mysterious realm.

Although he had not yet entered it, he was already close to the edge of that secret realm.

Cao Cao checked his body and found that the energy in his body was constantly blending with the heaven and earth, becoming inseparable from them.

The sky will be bright.

Outside the tent, Dian Wei and Cao Cao opened their eyes at the same time.

Xu Chu said sourly on the other side: "You took the excuse of practicing to be lazy for one night and let me be on duty.

Have you broken through the realm of magical power?"

Dian Wei laughed, "Not only did I break through, I also mastered a new magical power. My master said that I would never be able to comprehend this magical power before I was forty, bullshit. From now on, I will be the best halberd wielder in the world, and I will overturn my master and beat him to death on the way."

I tell you, Xu Ersha, next time you tell the governor about my wrongdoings, I will beat you up."

Xu Chu sneered: "Yes, I am the second fool and you are the biggest fool.

I was afraid last night that we were all practicing and no one would be on duty. I didn’t compete with you for the opportunity to break through, but in two or three months at most, I will also be able to break through, and then we can compete with each other.”

"You tried to rob me, but you failed."

Dian Wei was very proud:

"Then we will compete. If you lose, next time I steal a donkey and the governor asks about it, you can take the blame and say that you stole it. How do you think that is?"

While the two funny guys were bickering, Cao Cao walked out of the tent and headed towards Xia Pi City.

Defeated Lu Bu and captured Xia Pi.

Xun You, Guo Jia and others were taking Xia Pi as the center and going to the surrounding counties to take over defense and government affairs.

Lu Bu occupied Xia Pi and was nominally granted the title of Lord of Xuzhou.

However, most of the inherent forces in Xuzhou took a cold-eyed attitude towards him and did not obey Lu Bu's orders.

When Xia Pi was attacked, only Lu Bu's direct subordinates and some of the Xuzhou troops recruited through marriage obeyed his command.

At this time, Xun You and Guo Jia were actively working to convince all parties to surrender to Cao's camp.

Apart from Lu Bu, the most powerful resistance to Cao's army in Xuzhou was put by Langya County in the north, which had been fighting with Cao's army in recent years.

Tao Qian's main force was also there before, so Huang Zhong led Cao's army to attack Langya County alone.

Cao Cao will also lead his troops north to defeat the last resistance in Langya County and completely occupy Xuzhou.

In Langya County, there is another person Cao Cao wants to meet.

Zhuge Liang, how old are you now?

The Zhuge family is in Langya.

Cao Cao only planned to stay in Xia Pi for one more day. When he entered the city, he thought to himself: The timing of breaking Xia Pi is just right, which can help other plans.

For example...Jingzhou.

Xiangyang!

Jizhou visited various parties, hoping to unite to deal with Yanzhou.

Yanzhou is also using the strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones.

Cheng Yu then came to Jingzhou again and asked to see Liu Biao.

Dong Zhao, who paid for himself to work in Cao's camp, went to Hanoi, where he had worked before, to persuade Zhang Yang to surrender.

In the main hall of Jingzhou Prefecture, Cheng Yu was sitting in the guest seat.

Before that, Cao Cao captured Liu Biao’s second son Liu Cong and sent troops to occupy Nanyang.

This time, Liu Biao did not have a good face towards the envoy from Yanzhou, Cheng Yu.

Opposite Cheng Yu sat the envoy of Jizhou, Qian Zhao, a lieutenant under Yuan Shao. Qian Zhao was also a famous scholar of his time.

After Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, he went to join Yuan Shao.

Liu Biao met the two men together. The two sides sat opposite each other and the atmosphere was very tense.

Liu Biao, who sat in the main seat, was wearing a reddish-brown official robe.

Behind him and on the corridor outside the hall, there were soldiers from Jingzhou standing there, with no attempt to conceal their intimidation, as if they were going to drag someone out and execute them if they disagreed.

"Jizhou and Yanzhou are visiting together. What's the matter?"

Just as Cheng Yu was about to speak, Liu Biao waved his hand and said, "Let Jizhou speak first."

Qian Zhao smiled and said, "When Gongsun Zan took advantage of his victory to come south and force Jizhou, everyone in the world saw it and knew that Jizhou was in great danger.

I think the situation in Jingzhou right now is just like that in Jizhou at that time."

"Cao Mengde now controls three states, and his troops are as fierce as tigers and wolves, invading everywhere.

If he takes over Xuzhou again, his ambition will be hard to suppress. How can Jingzhou be safe as a neighbor of him?"

What Qian Zhao said meant that Cao Cao was ambitious. If he was allowed to occupy Xuzhou, he would attack Jingzhou next.

If Liu Biao does not join the war early and attack Yanzhou now, it will be too late to regret it.

Over the past three years, Cao Cao has been fighting wars in the south and the north. Relying on the tomb raiding, the treasures left by the Ten Eunuchs, and the money that Dong Zhuo plundered from all over the world, he became rich and powerful.

Yanzhou allied with local nobles to obtain resource support.

Internally, we implemented military farming and continuously strengthened military preparedness.

In the past three or four years, Yanzhou has gradually gained control of its strategic position. All the prefectures and counties in the surrounding areas regard it as a vicious tiger around them. Who would not be afraid?
Liu Biao's fear of Yanzhou was indeed growing day by day.

Especially when Yanzhou sent troops to control Chang'an, held the emperor hostage, and occupied Nanyang County, Liu Biao regretted very much that he had not made a full-scale attack on Yanzhou earlier.

After Qian Zhao finished speaking, Liu Biao narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Yu, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Cheng Yu said calmly: "Zijing is right."

When he opened his mouth, Liu Biao was stunned.

Cheng Yu actually agreed with Qian Zhao's theory of the Yanzhou threat.

"My governor, with the troops of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, is unstoppable."

Cheng Yu said: "In the past three years, I have been in charge of Yanzhou and have been able to conquer all four directions. Whenever I attacked, I was victorious. Whenever I fought, I was victorious. I was invincible. Everyone in the world has seen this and there is no way to refute it. It is just as Zijing said."

Liu Biao and Qian Zhao both said in their hearts, "Wow, are you here to show off your military might?"

Qian Zhao said in a deep voice: "Yanzhou is ambitious and plunders everywhere, which is also known to everyone."

"Since Yanzhou has the intention of invading, we should stop it as soon as possible."

"Yanzhou is attacking Xuzhou at this time, and Xuzhou's Xiapi is a strong city with thick walls, and its defender Lu Bu is the bravest of his time. When Cao's army is fighting with Xuzhou, isn't it the opportunity for Jingzhou to send troops to defeat Yanzhou?"

Cheng Yu nodded again: "Zijing is right."

"Lü Bu is a hero of his time, and Jingzhou has strong soldiers and horses. If the two heroes join forces and attack Yanzhou, we can wait for the danger and destruction."

What I mean is that if you all attack Yanzhou together, Yanzhou will be in real danger.

But Cheng Yu slowly threw out the bomb, saying: "Although Lu Bu is brave, he is already dead!"

"My governor personally led the army, Xia Pi was captured yesterday, Lü Bu was beheaded, and there is no one like him in the world anymore."

thump—

Qian Zhao seemed to hear his own heartbeat like a war drum.

"What did you say?"

"I said that Xia Pi had been broken, and if Jingzhou deployed troops, we in Yanzhou could immediately return to defend.

What Zijing said is that you want to use Jingzhou to consume Yanzhou, and Jizhou will just sit back and watch the battle between the two states and gain the advantage for nothing. How could Jingzhou fall for your trick? "

"Nonsense! Xia Pi is the strongest city in the world and has been difficult to conquer since ancient times. How can Yanzhou conquer Xia Pi after only half a month of fighting?"

Xia Pi had been captured only one day earlier, and the news had not yet reached Jingzhou.

Neither Liu Biao nor Qian Zhao knew about it.

Cheng Yu confirmed the news through Xunzhu. This was his confidence.

"Xia Pi has been captured, and Lu Bu has been killed."

"He is just talking nonsense to delay the opportunity. The governor cannot trust him."

"Xia Pi has been captured, and Lu Bu has been killed."

Qian Zhao presented facts and made sense.

But no matter what he said, Cheng Yu said calmly: "Xia Pi has been captured, Lu Bu has been killed."

If Yanzhou really occupied Xia Pi.

Jingzhou missed the opportunity to send troops, and nothing Qian Zhao said was of any use.

Cheng Yu added: "Yanzhou and Jingzhou are old friends. My governor repeatedly told me that Jingzhou and Yanzhou are allies."

"The world is in turmoil now. Yanzhou and Jizhou are facing each other from north to south. There will be a war. We will never compete with Jingzhou for profit, otherwise it will be a waste of money for Jizhou!
For now, Jingzhou only needs to sit back and watch until the situation in the world becomes clearer. It can advance or retreat as it pleases. Isn’t that wonderful?
The stability of Jingzhou is as good as Mount Tai, I hope the governor will not doubt it!"

Liu Biao frowned and said, "Can Yanzhou really take only half a month to conquer Xiapi and pacify Xuzhou?"

"This is absolutely true. Would I deceive the governor with such a thing and risk my life?"

Cheng Yu went from being in a disadvantageous situation to taking the initiative in the conversation, and he felt very happy.

You plan everywhere, but you just can't defeat Yanzhou. What's the use?

Qian Zhao didn't say anything else, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Lu Bu was a brave general of the time, and Xia Pi was a strong city with sufficient supplies.

Before the war between the two sides, Jizhou had conducted many simulations and believed that it was impossible for Yanzhou to capture Xia Pi within three months.

Based on this judgment, Jizhou's various plans were fully implemented.

Qian Zhao would never believe that Yanzhou could really capture Xia Pi so quickly.

As soon as he came out of Liu Biao's mansion, he sent someone to Jizhou to inquire about the battle situation in Xuzhou.

The news of not only Qian Zhao but also Xuzhou Xia Pi being captured was discovered and spread by all parties at an astonishing speed.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Wei have just learned about the battle situation in Xia Pi.

Lu Bu only held on for half a month!

Yuan Wei's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" character: "Has Xia Pi really been breached?"
