Fight for hegemony from a desert island

Chapter 522 Entering Qingzhou
In September of the first year of Taiping, an astonishing news spread throughout Dazhou.

Liu Cheng, who had just been appointed King Kang a month ago, took over Qingzhou in a month.

Once this news came out, the whole world was shocked.

And as the details of Liu Cheng's entry into Qingzhou became known, the shock of the people of the world not only did not diminish, but deepened.

Because people discovered that Liu Cheng's entry into Qingzhou this time was not just as simple as destroying the Yellow Turbans. When dealing with the Yellow Turbans, he also had to face the three forces of Tang, Ming and Han.

It was under such circumstances that Liu Cheng not only took down the Yellow Turban with one hand, but also wiped out the 15 troops of Ming Dynasty who marched into Qingzhou with his backhand.

It was precisely because Liu Cheng won the Yellow Turban in the battle at Qinghai Port and wiped out the 15 troops of Ming Dynasty that the Tang army and the Han army would withdraw from Qingzhou within the next two days, station troops on the Qingzhou border, and completely hand over Qingzhou to the Qingzhou border. To Liu Cheng's hands.

With one's own strength against the four most powerful forces in the Ming Dynasty at the same time, the horror of Liu Cheng's strength is amazing.

……

Sili, Luoyang, Cao Mansion.

"In less than a month, Kang Wang won Qingzhou with one enemy and four. This strength can be called terrifying."

Hearing the news that Liu Cheng had entered Qingzhou, Cao An couldn't help but smile.

Liu Cheng's taking over not only attracted the attention of those martial spirit forces, but also created a better development environment for Cao An at this time.

More importantly, with such a powerful ally as Liu Cheng, they will be much more relaxed in the follow-up strategic layout, but Xun Yu, who is next to Cao An, is frowning all the time.

"Wen Ruo? What's wrong? Is there something wrong with King Kang?"

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "No, King Kang's side is not a big problem. The Tang, Han and Ming parties have already made a move, and the Tang and Han armies withdrew quickly after the defeat of the Ming army. From this point of view, they probably have no plans at this time. King Kang died.

Therefore, the current situation on Kang Wang's side can be said to be stable, at least in the absence of variables, no one will act rashly.

After all, judging from the strength shown by Kang Wang, it is not easy to take him down, and with his back to the sea, he can retreat calmly if the situation is not good.

The cost is high and the achievements are small. At present, there should be no more disturbances in Qingzhou.

At least, Qingzhou will be stable until no one does that. "

"Then why are you so sad?"

"My lord, don't you really know what I'm worried about? The time you agreed with them is almost here..."

Before Xun Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao An directly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, it's okay, it's just to give them back what doesn't belong to me, nothing will happen, but you agree Don't neglect the matter of King Kang, since King Kang has taken Qingzhou, you should prepare immediately and send him the things you promised him."

Xun Yu opened his mouth, but in the end he could only nod in agreement, and then went down to send away Wang Fugui's martial soul fragments.

It wasn't until Xun Yu left that Cao An's face collapsed a little. It could be seen that he was not as indifferent to that matter as he had shown.

But despite the fear in his heart, since he had already agreed, Cao An would not go back on his word at this time, let alone show fear in front of Xun Yu.

This was not Cao Anyu's method, but he knew very well that once he showed fear, it would be hard to say what Xun Yu would do.

"In any case, what should be faced will be faced sooner or later."

Whispering softly, Cao An let out a breath, threw out all kinds of complicated thoughts, and continued to calm down and continue to write vigorously.

…………

Xuzhou, Ming Palace!

As an actual participant in the battle of Qingzhou, Daming knew the outcome of the Qingzhou battlefield earlier than anyone else.

Of course, this is not a good experience. After all, they have paid 15 elite soldiers, several first-class generals, and the No.1 general Xu Da of the Ming Dynasty.

But Xu Da was not dead yet, the battle at Qinghai Port was over after Zhang Mancheng arrived, and Xu Da was finally captured by Ying Shengnan during that battle.

Xu Da is still alive, so he gives hope to Daming.

Not long ago, Daming sent someone to contact Liu Cheng, expressing his desire to redeem Xu Da.

It's just that the people from Daming went at the wrong time. When they passed, Liu Cheng had just won Qingzhou, and he didn't have much time to deal with the people from Daming. After being left alone for several days, someone received the people sent by Daming.

It's just that when meeting Daming's envoy, Liu Cheng already knew what the other party was doing.

Don't you want to redeem someone?No problem, as long as you can afford the price.

Liu Cheng put forward several conditions on the spot. Among those conditions, the first few were nothing more than writing money and food, but the last one was very different.

Liu Cheng wanted people directly, and what he wanted was not just ordinary people, but artillery technicians under Daming's command.

The first few requests were easy to talk about, but for the last one, Daming was a little hesitant.

You must know that Daming himself is not as good as their neighbors in terms of background. Although the big Chu in the south of him is worse than them in terms of background, it cannot stand that they have a Western Chu Overlord.

Therefore, Daming can be said to be the weakest force along the coast, almost at the same level as the previous Yellow Turbans.

It is precisely because of this reason that Daming attaches great importance to firearms, and it is even the hope of their rise in firearms.

In this case, Liu Cheng wanted their firearms expert, and they were naturally reluctant to give it.

But if they don't, Xu Da, the No.1 general of Ming Dynasty, will be in his hands again, so it's not appropriate to do nothing like this, so this matter will be more difficult.

For this matter, the Ming Palace discussed for several days, but no result was reached.

But in the end, Emperor Ming, who had been listening for a few days, decided to redeem Xu Da. Of course, at this time, Emperor Ming actually had another plan. Such artillery proves that they have mastered the technology of making artillery or are researching it.

Under such circumstances, Liu Cheng asked them for artillery talents for two purposes. The first one was a technical blockade, so that they could not manufacture artillery in Ming Dynasty, or they wanted to attract their people to invest in artillery research.

No matter which of these two possibilities is, it is an opportunity for Emperor Ming.

If you make good use of it, you might be able to master the art of artillery.

So Emperor Ming finally decided to redeem people, and at the same time that Emperor Ming redeemed people, the two organizations under his command, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, also began to operate...
