Fight for hegemony from a desert island

Chapter 570
In the second year of Taiping, at the end of November.

At the same time as the Tang, Han and Chu Three Kingdoms mobilized troops, a large army gathered on the grasslands outside Bingzhou.

This is the first large-scale military operation since the death of Wang Fugui and the grassland suffered heavy losses in Bingzhou, and the scale of the army dispatched by the grassland this time far exceeds the previous one.

And the most important point is that the army dispatched from the grassland is not only larger than last time, but their army quality is also much stronger than that of two years ago.

The army dispatched on the grassland two years ago was just a temporary motley army, but today's army, which is close to 200 million in number, is completely a whole.

And the most frightening thing is that this army is obviously a mighty army.

With an army of 200 million lined up, there is no need to activate any commander talent at all. This army will naturally have a monstrous military force.

It is also for this reason that Liu Cheng's intelligence network discovered the existence of this army when it was just assembled.

In fact, Liu Cheng was not the only one who discovered this army.

Apart from Liu Cheng's knowledge, Lu Bu, who was guarding Yanmen Pass in Bingzhou, also discovered the existence of this army.

The reason why he was able to discover the existence of this army at the first time was because Lu Bu returned to Bingzhou after the battle where Wang Fugui died in battle. In the following two years, Lu Bu never took a step out of Bingzhou.

He took the army he had inherited from Wang Fugui, who had left for more than half of the time, and the army he had recruited himself in the past two years, and spent two full years training.

Although in the past two years, no matter whether it was Da Zhou in the south or the grasslands in the north, they had no intention of attacking him. His training has never been slack, and more precisely, he has not slack off on the grassland.

He seemed to have a premonition, or rather, he knew from the very beginning that one day he would face an extremely powerful grassland force, and this day was finally coming.

According to the information Lv Bu has, the army on the grassland is already gathering, and within five days at the latest, that 200 million army will approach Yanmen Pass.

This news entered Yanmen Pass, and the whole Yanmen Pass began to operate.

From the military to the people's livelihood, all pre-war preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner. It can be seen that Lu Bu has made quite a lot of preparations in this regard.

While Lu Bu was making pre-war preparations, Liu Cheng was sitting with Lu Qing on Yahai City's side.

"What's going on in this world recently? The Tang, Han, and Chu kingdoms are about to move in Dazhou, and a giant has suddenly appeared on the border of the grassland. It seems that the world is about to go into chaos!"

When Liu Cheng said this, his face was relaxed and there was no sign of nervousness at all.

In fact, Liu Cheng really doesn't need to be nervous, whether it's the Tang, Han and Chu Three Kingdoms, or the Big Mac that popped up all of a sudden, Liu Cheng doesn't even care too much about the appearance of any more powerful and terrifying forces .

Now that he is stable in the rear, there is really a big problem. The big thing is to give up Qingzhou and focus on the development of Korea and the four seas. If these two places can't satisfy Liu Cheng's development, Liu Cheng's big thing is to win a Dongying.

Even adding another Dongpu would not be able to satisfy Liu Cheng's appetite. In the past year, Liu Cheng sent out a lot of exploration teams on the sea.

The exploration of the sea has also achieved certain results. Liu Cheng has more or less discovered places such as Nanyang and Australia. If it is not possible, his territory can be developed to Nanyang and Australia. Affect Liu Cheng's development.

However, this does not mean that Liu Chengcheng can stop paying attention to Da Zhou.

To put it bluntly, Liu Cheng, as an offshore overlord, the most favorable situation for him is naturally to firmly control the situation on the Dazhou side, and the combination of the weak and the strong must not allow a hegemony to emerge in the Dazhou.

On a bigger scale, Liu Cheng still has an enmity with Wang Fugui, the various forces of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, Liu Cheng is naturally very concerned about the current turbulent state of Da Zhou.

Compared with Tang, Han, Chu and the Three Kingdoms joining forces to disrupt the situation, Liu Cheng cared more about the power in the grassland.

The reason is very simple, it is because the force in the grassland is very strong, unexpectedly strong.

According to Lu Qing's analysis based on the existing intelligence, once the grassland launches an attack, it is absolutely impossible for Lu Bu's Bingzhou to hold, and it is very likely that it will be defeated in a very short period of time.

Once Lu Bu's Bingzhou fell, the next force on the grassland would drive straight in. With the current situation of the separatist regime of the Great Zhou, it might not be able to stop that army.

If one is not good, the entire Great Zhou might be wiped out by that force.

And the reason why Liu Cheng thinks that the power in the grassland is so powerful is because Liu Cheng has roughly known the leader of the power in the grassland through Lu Qing's talent, and the development of this power in the past two years.

According to Lu Qing's talent deduction, the power in the grassland was established two years ago.

At the beginning of the establishment, there was only a small tribe, and after that tribe was established and the leader of the tribe raised the banner of Temujin, within three months, dozens of existing tribes outside the Bingzhou grassland All the tribes belonged to his banner, and since then, this prairie dynasty has taken shape.

What's even more astonishing is that after this grassland dynasty took shape, it didn't go south to Dazhou, but started to fight north, and it took three months to take down Liu Cheng's previous fighting nation.

After taking down the fighting nation, this prairie dynasty fought westward all the way.

To what extent did they go west, Lu Qing did not draw a definite conclusion due to the lack of intelligence.

However, at this time, the grassland forces chose to place Bingfeng on the side of Dazhou, so two conjectures can be roughly drawn, either they have completely conquered the west, or they mentioned that the iron plate had to turn around and fight Dazhou. week.

But no matter what the situation is, one thing is certain is that Yanmen Pass is in danger.

Faced with such an existence, it is absolutely impossible for Lu Bu to withstand it.

But one thing that made Liu Cheng very curious was that when Lu Qing deduced and collected information, he discovered that Lu Bu had already started preparing for this battle two years ago.

This is a bit interesting, could it be that Lu Bu knew what he was going to face in the future from the very beginning?
Thinking of this, Liu Cheng's eyes became fascinated. He always felt that there must be some secret between Lu Bu and Wang Fugui. If he didn't have this intuition, Liu Cheng would have killed Lu Bu in the past two years.

"It seems that I should find some time to meet this cheap righteous brother..."
