Chapter 123 Unifying the North, when Zhuge Liang saw the world map!

Ji Hao inherited the military training methods and copied the ideas from modern times, and indeed trained an almost invincible army, but it is not entirely true to say that there is no army in the world that can match it.

In Chinese history, it was not only the powerful army of later generations that could fight to the last man.

Xiang Yu burned his boats and fought to the death, Zhang Liao defeated 100,000 troops with only 800 men, and the enemy troops in the Xianzhen Camp were doomed to die.

And there were many brave men who were killed in the subsequent foreign invasions. We cannot deny everything in the past just because an unprecedentedly strong army has emerged in modern times.

The two are not in opposition, but rather they inherit from each other and are a continuation of the past.

The world's strongest army is not only united in purpose, but also has the strength forged by five thousand years of heritage!
However, under Lu Bu's command, there was a remarkable army, the "Xianzhen Camp".

In the Battle of Xuzhou, Ji Hao's elite Datong Army fought against the Xianzhen Camp. Due to the overwhelming superiority in equipment, they were unable to defeat the enemy in a short period of time. They could only rely on the "lime tactics" and use technology to crush them.

Thus capturing it.

The same is true now.

In the defeat of Jingzhou, Lu Bu's 800,000-strong army was wiped out. Most of them escaped, and a small part was captured and recruited by Zhuge Liang. They experienced repeated surrenders from Liu Bei to Lu Bu to Liu Bei.

But the Xianzhen Camp still followed Lu Bu closely. Although the 3,000 expanded soldiers suffered some losses, there were still 2,800 men.

When they mount a horse, they are heavy cavalry; when they dismount, they are heavy infantry.

It has mobility, strong defensive capabilities, and the ability to charge into formations.

This is Lu Bu’s real family background!
"My suggestion is to expand the Xianzhen Camp, disrupt it and incorporate it into the Shengtian Army. All the old soldiers will be promoted to sergeants. With the old leading the new, we can build a strong army!" Ji Hao said, "Of course, I'll leave it to you to do it. We only look at the results, not the process!"

……

The battle of Xuzhou had a huge impact. The arrogant Lu Bu was defeated, and his strategist showed his vicious side for the first time.

However, the impact on the world situation was not as great as imagined: after the victory, Zhuge Liang did not immediately send troops to the north, but only recaptured Hanzhong.

Afterwards, they connected Jingzhou and Shuchuan into a line and started...building the city wall.

Yes, that's right, build the city wall.

Also the Great Wall.

He was actually imitating Ji Hao's routine and isolating himself with a high wall.

He even took out something like cement and built it with extremely high productivity - this was the foundation of Zhuge Liang and the Huang family behind him.

He just went to pick up a piece of stone from the wall of Yuzhou city and went back to make cement.

It is exactly the same as the "King of Imitation" in later generations.

This is also one of the reasons why Ji Hao has never used firearms in wars and has only used improved kerosene at most: when the Eagle Sauce releases nuclear weapons, it won’t be long before the world has nuclear weapons.

War is not a game of house.

If you can't quickly wipe out everything in a short period of time, then once you take out your advanced equipment, the enemy will follow suit in no time.

This is unpreventable.

Before the spark of "Great Harmony" spreads across the prairie, once the gap is narrowed, the outcome of the war will be unpredictable.

Didn't Xiao Dezi, Xiao Rizi, and Xiao Yingzi all suffer defeats despite having absolute advantages?

Ji Hao doesn't want to repeat the same mistake.

He wanted to save the firearms for the critical moment and decide the outcome in one fell swoop before the enemy had any chance to react!

"In war, what matters is resources, not strategy or the use of troops. When you have enough cards in your hand, the outcome is already decided. On the other hand, the enemy will not have so many weaknesses and may not give you a chance. When the two sides are evenly matched, the outcome is unpredictable!" Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei.

This strange angle shocked Liu Bei.

But he still frowned: "It's just the north, but it's going to be unified!" Zhuge Liang only took Hanzhong and not Sizhou, which led to the Datong army taking full control after Lu Bu surrendered to Ji Hao. Now Sizhou has long become the second Xuzhou.

Thinking of the scene in Xuzhou, to be honest, he was worried deep down.

"If we take Sizhou, the world will be unified!" Zhuge Liang said, "We will counterattack Lu Bu, and Ji Hao will definitely attack Sun Ce. If we can't win quickly, we will be attacked from both sides. If we don't unite with Jiangdong, any of us will have no chance of winning against Ji Hao alone!"

Ma Chao did not quite understand what he said, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had experienced the Battle of Xuzhou, did understand.

"Also, my lord, you can prepare to become emperor!" Zhuge Liang said again.

This shocked Liu Bei.

He glared and asked, "Why do you say that, military advisor?"

No one doesn't want to be the emperor, but to the outside world, Liu Bei never said that and only talked about supporting the Han Dynasty.

Doing the same thing as Liu Xiu.

But just don’t say it.

"Lü Bu is a narrow-minded person. After he loses to you, he will definitely find a way to get back at you. The emperor of Sizhou is his punching bag." Zhuge Liang said, "Since he has just surrendered, he will definitely do something. Ji Hao will not stop him!"

After hearing this, Liu Bei was stunned.

A few days later, news came that Lu Bu deposed Emperor Liu Xie, restored Zhou rituals, and honored Ji Hao as "Son of Heaven."

All the nobles of the Han Dynasty were demoted to commoners.

This was not the most excessive thing. Cao Cao responded to Lu Bu and judged the emperors of the Han Dynasty. He built a symbolic ancestral hall for Emperor Wu and Emperor Guangwu of Han, but dragged out other emperors of previous dynasties and criticized them.

Even Liu Bei's ancestor, King Jing of Zhongshan, was not spared.

As for the reason, it is that the custom of burying royal family members with the dead had a serious impact on the circulation of gold and silver in the Central Plains... This is not false, as most of the gold and silver in the Han Dynasty were indeed taken into the coffins.

Ji Hao had his own means of making a fortune, and with the title of tomb-raiding lieutenant, he had no plans at first.

However, when he delved into the use of modern technology in gold and silver, and discovered that most of the gold and silver were in the Liu family's ancestral tomb, he could only say sorry to Liu Bei and let Cao Cao go back to his old business.

At this point, the dignity of the Han Dynasty was completely gone.

As a result, people's awe of the "Son of Heaven" dropped to the lowest point.

Ji Hao even gave up the title of Son of Heaven.

He refused on the grounds that "the world is not yet settled".

He did establish a country, named it "Ren Ting", proclaimed himself "King of Man", set up a banner to unify the world, and clearly stated that the day he unified the world would be the day he ascended the throne as "Emperor of Man".

The "World Map" was also released.

Shocked the world.

Afterwards, Sun Ce of Eastern Wu responded quickly and passed the throne of King of Wu to his younger brother Sun Quan, and he proclaimed himself "King of the Sea" and led the fleet out to sea to look for the "Japan" and "America" ​​mentioned by Ji Hao.

What he did was something that even Liu Bei couldn't understand.

The queen is a descendant of a certain family, so it is understandable that she should establish her own court. Why are you, Sun Ce, following suit?

The most important thing is that Ji Hao also gave him a formal title.

What the hell are you doing?
Is Jiangdong his ally or Ji Hao's?

"Every action of Ji Hao is really unexpected!" Zhuge Liang said: "I expected the world to be divided into three parts, but, isn't the 'world' you gave me a little too big?"
