Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 459: Attacking Jiaozhou, the special skills of the legendary generals

These people are already the top combat forces of Dongwu. Except for Sun Ce, all the generals present are first-rate generals. Sun Ce, Gan Ning, and Zhou Yu are all famous generals. Huang Gai and Cheng Pu have also just been promoted to famous generals. Although there are five famous generals, there is not one who can be a truly legendary general, which is the fatal flaw of their high-end combat power.

And this time, Sun Jian convened this meeting for this matter.

Seeing that all the key personnel in Jiangdong had come to the conference room, Sun Jian coughed twice, which calmed the noisy crowd and started the meeting that would decide the outcome of the entire Jiangdong.

"I'm sure you all know why I called you here this time."

When Sun Jian said this, he deliberately paused, then looked around at the crowd, observing their reactions, looking at them with the attitude of a superior looking down on everyone.

"Now, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are both very powerful, and Jiangdong is in decline. We need to find a way to escape from the gap between them."

Zhou Yu's voice became low. After several blows, he was no longer the cheerful and lively young Zhou Gongjin. Instead, he became mature and no longer looked down on the heroes of the world, nor did he over-exaggerate himself. He became more introverted.

Although Zhou Yu, a Confucian general, is already a famous general, his combat ability is only slightly higher than that of a first-rate general, far from the level of a famous general. However, his characteristic bonus is far beyond that of an ordinary famous general, which is in line with Zhou Yu's positioning as a Confucian general.

Seeing Zhou Yu opening the conversation, everyone present stopped holding back and started offering suggestions.

Everyone had different opinions and argued with each other until Sun Jian coughed again, interrupting the noisy discussion.

"Gongjin, tell me what you think."

As soon as Sun Jian said this, everyone understood that Sun Jian had already made a decision. It just depended on who could come up with the method that Sun Jian had in mind. Zhou Yu frowned slightly and tapped lightly on the chair with his slender finger bones.

"My lord, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are recruiting troops, buying war horses, and casting armor. The situation is serious. We should find a way to break it."

"Is there any way to crack it?"

Sun Jian raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhou Yu with interest, and Zhou Yu continued.

"They both have strong financial resources and can develop over the long term and slowly gather an army, but we in Jiangdong are now poor and have no extra financial resources. In this case, why not change direction?"

"go on."

Sun Jian nodded to Zhou Yu with an expressionless face. Then, Zhou Yu said something that made the entire conference room fall into complete silence.

"Annex Jiaozhou!"

These four short words were so loud that one could hear a pin drop in the entire conference hall. No one present had expected that Zhou Yu would actually say such a thing. They were so shocked that they even forgot to speak and just looked at Zhou Yu in amazement.

Sun Jian still showed no expression, neither sad nor happy, angry nor afraid. Instead, Gan Ning, who was sitting at the head of the generals, suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, the governor is worthy of being the governor. He is a man of great talent and strategy. He is truly a rare talent! I am just a rough guy and don't know what an ally is. I only know that if you rely on mountains, the mountains will be empty, if you rely on trees, the trees will fall, if you rely on people, they will run away. It is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else!"

"But at this time, if we rashly attack Shi Xie, it will probably cause considerable losses. What should we do if Liu Bei or even Cao Cao attacks us?"

Gu Yong had a solemn expression on his face. Ever since the fall of Yuzhang County, he had been forced to resign from his post as the governor of Yuzhang County and came to Wu County to be a staff officer with an empty title but no real power. Upon hearing that Shi Xie was going to rashly attack Jiaozhou, he immediately raised his objection, and his opposition was supported by many people.

"Shi Xie is not a Shanyue tribe member. He cannot be defeated or defeated just by saying so. We should consider this matter carefully."

"What the hell! By the time you finish your long-term planning, Liu Bei and Cao Cao's butcher knives will already be on our necks in Jiangdong!"

"The terrain of Jiaozhou is complicated. In addition, Shi Xie is not weak either, and he has the help of the mysterious Gu girl. If a fight really breaks out, we will probably be dragged into the quagmire and will never be able to escape."

"Bullshit, just fight quickly and decisively. With hundreds of thousands of troops attacking from all directions, I don't believe we can't take down a small Jiaozhou!"

Gan Ning was like a war maniac at this moment. He would confront anyone he met and stood firmly on Zhou Yu's side. Seeing that Zhou Yu, led by the civil officials, and Gan Ning, led by the military generals, all agreed to this file, those who disagreed could only turn their eyes to Sun Jian. Now only if Sun Jian spoke up could this war be avoided.

They argued for a full quarter of an hour, during which Gan Ning went in and out seven times, scolding those people harshly.

Sun Jian did speak up, but to their surprise, he also supported Zhou Yu and Gan Ning.

"Gongjin and Xingba are right. I will never allow anyone to snore beside my bed."

Sun Jian ended the meeting with a brief sentence.

"Draft a letter of surrender and distribute it when we start attacking Jiaozhou. Bofu is the commander of this battle, so if anyone wants to go with us, I have no objection. As long as we can defeat Shi Xie, you can divide the credit among yourselves. If we can't defeat him, I'm sure you all know that we don't even need to do anything, as the two hungry wolves in the north will rush to devour us."

Sun Jian stood up and raised his arms.

"Everyone, the situation is unfavorable. Jiangdong is facing a crisis of life and death. If this fails, Jiangdong will probably have to withdraw from the stage of hegemony. Success or failure depends on this matter!"

After listening to Sun Jian's words, most of the people present were shocked. They knew that the situation was serious, but they did not feel that it had reached a moment of life and death. Only Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, and Sun Ce knew how dangerous the situation they were facing was. If Liu Bei attacked them now, they would be in danger of destruction.

It can be said that their life and death are now in the hands of others.

"Gather the troops today and set out for Jiaozhou! Gongjin, Xingba, the two of you will assist Bofu and accomplish our goal in one battle."

"Yes, sir!" Sun Ce and the other two all stood up, clasped their hands and said to Sun Jian.

Two days later, a total of 300,000 troops from Jiangdong gathered in Nanhai County, preparing to pass through Hepu County from Nanhai County and go directly to Jiaozhi County. After the last battle, almost all of Jiaozhou's troops were deployed in Cangwu County to prevent Gu Rubing's sudden attack, and the rest of the troops were also deployed on the border with the southwestern barbarians.

The only area bordering Sun Jian was the one where Shi Xie did not deploy any troops for defense, which was enough to show Shi Xie's trust in Sun Jian. However, it was also because of this trust that two days later, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Gan Ning, with an army of 300,000, arrived at the city of Jiaozhi County, which stunned Shi Xie.

Shi Xie immediately sent people to negotiate. Although he knew that Sun Jian would not give up with so many people, he still held on to a glimmer of hope.

But when the messenger returned with the news, Shi Xie was completely desperate, because the messenger told Shi Xie the purpose of Sun Ce's visit, which was to make Shi Xie submit to Sun Jian and merge Jiaozhou into Jiangdong. Shi Xie would never agree to such a thing, and Sun Jian also grasped this point, knowing that as a player, Shi Xie would definitely not be willing to be inferior to others.

While sending people to negotiate, Shi Xie also recalled all his soldiers stationed on the border of Cangwu County and Jiaozhi County to prepare for Sun Jian's sudden attack.

It took Sun Ce and his men only one day to kill their way through the entire Jiaozhi County and arrive at Longbian County, the capital of Jiaozhou. Shi Xie was caught off guard, and there was also a certain gap between the troops under Shi Xie and those under Sun Jian.

Nowadays, the soldiers under Sun Jian's command enjoy three bonuses at the same time: Sun Jian's special mission, Sun Ce's heroic characteristics and Zhou Yu's indomitable characteristics. Their combat effectiveness has been improved to a level that is almost the same as that of Gu Rubing's soldiers. Even Cao Cao's characteristic bonuses are not as good as Sun Jian's current ones.

Faced with soldiers of such powerful fighting ability, Shi Xie was unable to resist at all and was defeated step by step, which allowed Sun Jian to reach his capital in just one day.

The four hundred Gu girls were already on the way, but what Shi Xie was really worried about was whether he could hold on until the Gu girls arrived. Therefore, when Sun Ce led his army to attack Longbian City, Shi Xie appeared on the top of the city wall.

"My dear nephew Bofu, why did you come to this?"

Shi Xie stood on the top of the city wall and spoke loudly to Sun Ce who was preparing to attack the city.

But Sun Ce ignored it and still gathered his troops to launch an attack.

During the time when Sun Jian was mobilizing his troops and marching south, Cao Ren and his group had already returned to Xu Du.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sound of Cao Cao's laughter continued to be heard, which was enough to show how happy Cao Cao was.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, in Cao Cao's room, Cao Cao looked at Dian Wei and Cao Zhang in front of him with surprise. Dian Wei's promotion to a legendary general was within Cao Cao's expectations. After all, Cao Cao knew the strength of the Huns. Feeding Dian Wei, who was not far from being a legendary general, was not a problem. What really surprised him was Cao Zhang. He did not expect that his son would be promoted to a famous general in this battle.

In addition to Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan, he also has five famous generals and the legendary general Dian Wei under his command, as well as a dozen first-class generals and top combat power. He is no weaker than Gu Rubing. If the forces under Liu Zhang are added, Cao Cao can now even challenge Gu Rubing.

On the first day Dian Wei and his men returned to Xu Du, Cao Cao withdrew the defenses of the entire city of Xu Du. Now he was finally no longer worried that Gu Rubing would suddenly turn against him and bring Guan Yu to attack Xu Du.

After suppressing his excitement, Cao Cao opened Dian Wei's attribute panel to check the characteristics that Dian Wei gained after being promoted to a legendary general.

[Name: Dian Wei]

[Identity: Captain in front of the tent]

[General level: Legendary general (9/100) (evil point: 1/100)]

【characteristic:……】

[Characteristic effect: ...]

[Skill: Evil Comes (special skill): After Dian Wei was promoted to a legendary general, the power of the ancient evil hidden in his body has been fully awakened, and his all attributes are increased by +1000%. Evil Comes effect: A special skill of a legendary general, which can temporarily summon the ancient evil to possess him and gain a double bonus to his own attack power, which lasts for a quarter of an hour. During use, the initiative of Dian Wei's body is handed over to the ancient evil, and Dian Wei no longer has control over his body. After using it, he will have no debuff, and the cooldown time is twelve hours. The skill gain bonus of Evil Comes will increase with the increase of evil points. ]

……

Looking at the abnormal attribute bonus in front of him, Cao Cao was extremely happy. Not to mention anything else, the basic bonus of this feature was a +1000% increase in all his attributes. How abnormal it was. And this special skill of the legendary general shocked Cao Cao beyond words.

What does it mean to double the attack power? If Dian Wei's Ancient Rage and Endless Fury skills are activated, plus the basic attributes of the legendary generals, and the double attack power of Evil's Rise, it can be said that Dian Wei's attack power will be unprecedented.

Perhaps only after Zhao Yun is promoted to a legendary general and triggers the Desperate Dragon's Fury characteristic at the same time, will his attack power be possible to exceed Dian Wei. However, attack power does not represent combat power. This skill only doubles the attack power, not all attributes. Thinking of this, Cao Cao shook his head slightly, smiled and sighed.

I'm afraid this idea is just wishful thinking. If all attributes can really be doubled, then there's no need to play this game. Guan Yu will not be a match for Dian Wei. As long as Dian Wei is there, Cao Cao will always be invincible. Unfortunately, imagination is just imagination.

However, Dian Wei's extremely high bonus was enough to shock Cao Cao. In this way, Cao Cao would no longer be controlled by Guan Yu and could do things openly, such as the newly rising barbarian leader Meng Huo in southern Yizhou. This was a good place for him to gain experience and help Liu Zhang solve internal troubles, while making Liu Zhang and him more inseparable. It could be said to be a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

If Gu Rubing were here, he would find that Dian Wei's skill effects are very similar to Guan Yu's to a large extent, such as the all-attribute gain of +1000%, and the feature that can increase with special points. This is the case with Guan Yu's Martial Saint points, and also with Dian Wei's Evil Points. These two titles are the evaluations of them by later generations.

Furthermore, their active skills are all about summoning power to descend. One is the power of the Martial Saint, and the other is the power of the ancient evil, which are roughly the same.

If Cao Cao or Gu Rubing saw the legendary general panel of another person now, they would be able to immediately think of some of the problems. However, no one has two legendary generals under their command now, so this will not be discovered in the short term.

After looking at Dian Wei's panel attributes, Cao Cao turned his attention to his son. He couldn't say that he liked his son too much before, it was just an ordinary father-son relationship, because Cao Cao always felt that as a lord, wealth and wisdom were more important than martial arts. But now looking at his son, Cao Cao suddenly felt the heroic spirit of "a tiger father will have a dog son" in his heart.

"Ziwen, a force led by a barbarian tribe has recently appeared in the southern part of Yizhou. Are you interested in going there?"

Cao Cao suddenly asked.
