Fight for hegemony from a desert island

Chapter 536 Fusion of Martial Soul
Ever since Ying Shengnan led Shengnan's army into Langya City, the fate of Langya City has been sealed.

Although Sun Chengzong is extraordinary, it is difficult to resist the crushing force of Liu Cheng's army.

Under the attack of Ying Shengnan and Zhou Kui, plus three top generals and four first-class generals, he only lasted for three hours before the city gate was breached.

Although he persisted for seven hours afterwards, he could only be powerless in the end. The 15 troops under his command were forcibly defeated, and he himself was killed by the blow of a fool.

Once Sun Chengzong died, the entire Langye Kingdom fell into Liu Cheng's hands.

And Langye Kingdom is the gate of Xuzhou. Once this gate is opened, it means that Xuzhou is tantamount to Liu Cheng's back garden, and he can invade as he wants anytime and anywhere.

This is a good thing for Liu Cheng, but for Xuzhou, it is something that makes them angry and panic.

No one on Daming's side expected that Liu Cheng would make a sudden move, let alone that Liu Cheng could directly break through Langya City and take down Langya Kingdom within a day, which directly led to Xuzhou's embarrassing situation.

You know, although the entire Xuzhou City has six counties and a population of about 8000 million.

With such a geographical and population base, raising an army of 200 million in Xuzhou seems to be a very easy task, but the reality is not so easy.

The truth is, before Daming came out, they definitely had no way to recruit troops on a large scale, and at this time, it was only about a year before Daming came out to be fully recruited.

There is a faction that will madly expand its troops by 200 million within a year, but Xuzhou's real standing army is actually only 80.

And the 80 will be deducted from the 15 that Qingzhou was wiped out by Liu Cheng before, and the 15 that was just wiped out from Langya Kingdom.

That is to say, Xuzhou at this time has only 50 troops at full count. If Langya Kingdom had not fallen before, Daming still had the confidence to deal with Liu, but now that Langya Kingdom has fallen, Da Ming is furious, but I also knew in my heart that I probably couldn't beat them.

Under such circumstances, the entire Ming Dynasty was running wildly. On the army side, all the 50 standing troops could be assembled, ready to fight Liu Cheng at any time.

At this time, the civil servants were not idle either. On the one hand, they prepared for the logistics of the army, and on the other hand, they began to let go of the conscription.

At the same time, Daming also sent envoys to severely condemn Liu Cheng's unjust act of sneak attack. Of course, what is more important is to make a final effort to see if this matter can be resolved peacefully.

Of course, a peaceful settlement is impossible, and Liu Cheng never had such an idea.

Since he ordered the attack on Xuzhou, it was destined to be an endless battle.

However, Liu Cheng did not continue to attack immediately. On the one hand, although Langye City was successfully captured in the battle of Langye City, Liu Cheng's own army also suffered a lot of damage.

In the First World War, Zhou Kui destroyed [-] lands and captured [-] prisoners, and he himself suffered close to [-] casualties.

In addition, they had traveled for a day before, and after this battle, the Yellow Turban Army was extremely tired at this time, and it took a certain amount of time to adjust their state.

More importantly, Liu Cheng also needs some time to conquer Langya Kingdom.

It was almost as if Zhou Kui took down Langya Kingdom on the front foot, and Liu Cheng's men arrived on the back foot.

Liu Cheng's people came here at this time with only one purpose, and that was to get rid of the scratches, madly.

After all, Liu Cheng didn't have the confidence and didn't plan to occupy Xuzhou at this time. Since he didn't plan to occupy Xuzhou, he naturally tried his best to suppress it and beat it down. Liu Cheng couldn't let himself send troops for nothing.

What Liu Cheng didn't know was that at the same time he took down Langya Kingdom, Xun Yu in Luoyang also started to get busy.

Luoyang, Cao Mansion, Cao An's bedroom.

In the room at this moment, apart from Xun Yu who had hardly left in the past month, there was also a middle-aged man with a refined temperament.

This middle-aged man with a refined temperament is the helper that Xun Yu hired out of shame recently, not only to help him operate Sili and Yuzhou, but also to help him complete his plan and rescue Cao An.

And this middle-aged man is indeed a very good helper. Under his management, Sili and Yuzhou can't be said to be prosperous, but at least he has managed to make these two states, in this month. Cao An was in a coma and there was some confusion.

However, although this middle-aged man is binding Xun Yu, he actually doesn't agree with what Xun Yu wants to do.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Have you ever thought about the cost of doing this? There should be other ways to save him."

Seeing Xun Yu take out a white crystal, the middle-aged man couldn't help but comfort him again.

"Is there any other way? What way? I have no other way to dig Cao Mengde's martial spirit. Right now, this is the only way I can go." At this time, Xun Yu was a little crazy, but more is firm.

"But this is the question you want to leave, but you haven't asked him if he wants to leave. Once you do this today, the consequences will be terrible. Once you let Liu Cheng know that you took his adoptive father's martial spirit Shards came to rescue Cao An, it was hard to say what he would do.

Didn't you just read the news yesterday? Just because Wang Fugui's martial spirit might be in Xuzhou, he directly sent troops to attack Xuzhou.

and also……"

"I know what you're going to say. I've thought about it. It's been a month. I've already considered everything I need to face. I've realized it a long time ago."

After Xun Yu finished speaking, the middle-aged man was silent for a while and stopped talking. Xun Yu's sentence "I have awakened a long time ago" has already expressed what he wanted to express.

Seeing that the middle-aged man stopped talking, Xun Yu smiled and started to act.

The fist-sized white spar in his hand was placed on the chest of the unconscious Cao An, and then the two walked out of the bedroom.

Not long after Xun Yu walked out of the bedroom, a burst of light lit up in Cao An's bedroom.

At first, the light was soft and dim.

But as time passed, the light began to brighten up little by little, and then turned into a beam of light ten meters high.

At the same time that the beam of light rose, Cao An, who was in a coma, was also undergoing drastic changes, and the biggest change was his thinking attribute.

Before Cao An's martial soul was taken away, Cao An's thinking was not bad, and his spirit, talent, and command both reached above 90.

After the Wuhun was taken away, Siwei dropped to around 70, and at this time Cao An's thinking began to soar again.

Although I haven't seen the peak of the four dimensions yet, there is no doubt that Xun Yu successfully used Wang Fugui's martial soul fragments to save Cao An...
