Chapter 158 Difficulties
What's wrong with the Royal Guards? Although they are only elite, they have touched the threshold of miracles, so it should be easy for them to defeat a group of newly promoted Royal Guards.
They are the reserve force of the Yulin Guard. They were originally assigned to Guo Hao as a commando team and their strength is terrifyingly strong.
The first talent is all-around talent, the second talent is adaptability.
The route we take is one of basic qualities, in order to serve as a blood bag for the Yulin Guards.
With the blessing of national fortune, they can immediately perform at the average level of the Yulin Guards.
Before the change in the world, they were the top military force second only to the Yulin Guards.
Even the Yulin Guards, without the blessing of national fortune, are only slightly stronger than them.
After defeating the Yellow Turbans last time and touching the threshold of miracles, they melted the two talents into a part of their bodies.
However, there has been no main general to train them in new talents, and they don't look down on other people being main generals, so they can only watch helplessly and train every day to ensure that their strength does not decline.
After all, they were relying on Guo Hao's gift of the sun to touch the threshold. Without the sunshine of the sun for a long time, their strength had not improved much.
However, there is no problem in fighting the Sun Cavalry, especially since the Sun Cavalry’s combat effectiveness drops a level without a horse.
Correspondingly, four to five hundred of their men also lay down. After all, they were without a main general now, and their strength was only at the top elite level. It was still a little difficult for them to confront the Royal Guards head-on.
Although they are both Sun Riders, the difference between standing and lying is obvious at a glance.
In fact, in game terms, it is the difference between level and skill level.
That is, the lying level is high but the skill level is not raised, while the standing level is low but the skill level is already maxed out.
Guo Hao arrived late and rushed to the camp with his bodyguard Lu Bu. Before he arrived at the camp, Lu Bu flew directly over.
According to Lu Bu, all he had to do was relax his mind and quickly find Guo Hao's location, then move over at high speed.
Although Guo Hao didn't understand what it meant to let go of the mind and scan, he understood that Lu Bu had the function of a human radar.
Ever since the essence of heaven and earth has been reviving, Lu Bu's strength has become more and more exaggerated. According to Dian Wei, without the existence of popularity, he would be 190% sure to win against Lu Bu.
Moreover, his chances of winning are decreasing. After all, what does the revival of the essence of heaven and earth have to do with their kind of intensive practice?
He couldn't go out hunting, so he could only practice hard every day to make a living.
Seeing his personal guard lying down, Guo Hao activated his talent without saying a word and started to take sides.
What a joke! Which army is so uncivilized that they let their own guards lie on the ground?
Although the man opposite looks a little familiar, he is not a reasonable person. Helping relatives instead of others is his life creed.
When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. No matter what the reason is, it is wrong to beat your own guards. You can just come to him if you have any problems.
…
Guo Hao fell into silence. He looked at the Sun Knight who stood up and then was quickly knocked down again.
Even the Military Soul couldn't defeat the Sun Knight with his blessing so quickly. His talent can now directly exert the blessing of noon. How could there be a miracle legion like the Yulin Army in Hulao Pass?
"General, look!" Lu Bu reminded in a low voice.
As a martial arts expert, he knew everything and quickly discovered the problem.
Seeing that the standing troops were also radiating the light of the sun, Guo Hao became even more confused. He was not a mentally retarded person, so how could he throw his talent to other people?
Could it be that his talent is a little out of control after being enhanced?
No, he could feel that he had perfect control over his talent.
"Which unit are you from?" Guo Hao, puzzled, asked directly.
"General, the Sun Commando reports to you that the expected number of people is 1,521, and the actual number of people is 1,521!" Bai Shuang ran out and reported loudly.
The members of the Sun Commando Team who were overtaken by Bai Shuang were very angry, so they slowed down a little.
"Sun Commando?" Guo Hao finally found this name from the corner of his memory.
He was a little surprised. He had originally thought that this troop was completely wiped out. At first, he could not take the imperial troops away, and he did not regard this commando team as his own. He did not expect that their strength is so strong now.
Logically speaking, there are only three troops in Hulao Pass that can stably defeat the Sun Cavalry with the same number of troops, namely Xiandeng, Xianzhen and Feixiong. No other army can do it.
The only army that can crush the Sun Cavalry is probably the Yulin Army far away in Beiliang City.
After finding the Sun Commandos from his memory, Guo Hao also understood that it was another case of jealousy between the two troops.
That was the situation between the Yulin Army and the Sun Cavalry at that time. I didn't expect that it would still be the same after they reached Hulao Pass.
"Which unit do you belong to now?" Guo Hao asked with a headache. Not remembering it was one thing, but since they had come to him, there was no way he would let go of this personal guard who had been through life and death with him.
"General, we are under the command of General Xu Rong, and we are currently instructors !" Bai Shuang reported to Guo Hao proudly.
His strength is similar to that of other commandos. Now that he has entered Guo Hao's vision first, it is only natural for him to serve as the commander of the personal guards.
"Someone go tell Xu Rong that you have been transferred to my command. From now on, you are a family."
Guo Hao nodded helplessly. The Sun Commandos were a bit of a waste of talent as instructors for new recruits, and withdrawing them would not cause too much trouble.
"What's your name?" Guo Hao pointed at Bai Shuang.
"General, my name is Bai Shuang!"
"From today on, you are the deputy commander of the Sun Legion. Like Li Yang, you will manage the legion for me on a daily basis." Guo Hao nodded, remembered Bai Shuang's name, and began to give orders.
As for the previous unrest, Guo Hao did not mention a word.
He originally thought that the people behind some troop were itching to challenge his position, but he didn't expect that the enemy was actually me.
After the two armies merged, Guo Hao's personal guard corps was truly formed. It was normal for a corps to have three to four thousand people.
After getting to know the troops better, Guo Hao felt a little confused as he didn't know how to train his talents.
Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi were all playing dead, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get them to Hulao Pass. It was obvious that they were fence-sitters.
He didn't understand. Could it be that the aristocratic family had some amazing means? The troops under his command were all trained by these three big guys. Others didn't understand the combat effectiveness of the five schools of Beigong and the eight schools of Xiyuan, so how could they not understand it?
Apart from other things, Changshuiying and Sheshengying are only battalion-sized, but in fact each is 0.5 armies, which means they have a size of more than 5,000 people.
Their strength is average and at the top level of the elite, and a few of them are imperial guards. So the question is how the coalition forces were able to break through Hulao Pass.
As long as Hulao Pass is not broken, Guo Hao is destined to be invincible.
On the other side, Li Ru returned to Luoyang and went straight to Jia Xu's residence.
He vaguely sensed a little danger, but it was not enough. He needed to get intelligence from Jia Xu to confirm the danger.
"Give me all the information about Mr. Dong!" Li Ru said directly as soon as he entered the door.
"What's the matter?" Jia Xu was a little confused, but he still handed the relevant information to Li Ru.
"Found it! As expected!" Li Ru found the information he wanted after just flipping through it for a while.
"What's wrong?" Jia Xu looked at the information in Li Ru's hand, puzzled.
"Mr. Dong has two sons-in-law, one is me and the other is Niu Fu." Li Ru looked secretly resentful. He didn't expect that even though Dong Zhuo had retired, there were still people making a fuss about him.
"Niu Fu is also the backbone of the Xiliang Army. How could there be a problem with him? Moreover, he is now in Hulao Pass and cannot cause any big waves."
Jia Xu still didn't understand. He didn't know why Li Ru was so concerned about his own future.
"Those old guys like Huangfu Song have been wavering. What do you think is the reason?" Li Ru's face was grim. How could he not be angry when someone even plotted against him?
"It's nothing more than that they think the aristocratic families have a backup plan and there is a possibility that we may fail." Jia Xu waved his hand and didn't take Li Ru's words seriously at all.
Li Ru frowned. Jia Xu was not in a good state. Even after he said so much, Jia Xu still thought he was exaggerating.
"What are you doing?" Jia Xu covered his head and shouted.
Li Ru just sent a mental blast to his head, and he was a beat slow to react and was hit directly.
Li Ru just wiped the blood from his nose, and he was not feeling well either. Jia Xu's unconscious mental counterattack also made him a little overwhelmed.
"How do you feel now?" Li Ru asked.
Jia Xu's face turned pale. "Damn it, the workload has been too intense lately!"
"It seems that the efforts of the aristocratic families are not in vain!" Li Ru nodded. He was a little surprised at the strength of the aristocratic families' infiltration. Even a wise man like Jia Xu began to be dazed. He didn't know how much the aristocratic families had sacrificed.
Jia Xu's face looked extremely ugly. Quantitative change led to qualitative change. Tens of thousands of infiltration activities and a large amount of intelligence processing made him a little overwhelmed.
Jia Xu endured the pain and began to deduce, and found that the problem lay with Dong Zhuo's daughters.
If Hulao Pass is to be breached, there must be problems with the Xiliang Army, Bingzhou Army and Luoyang Army.
As long as the eldest princess is there, there will be no problems with the eight schools in Xiyuan and the five schools in Beigong in Luoyang.
Jia Xu's arrangements in the palace ensured that the eldest princess would never be abducted or instigated to rebel. Even if the eldest princess herself turned against him, there was no way anyone could take her away.
When necessary, Jia Xu even prepared a plan to destroy himself and the enemy together.
It is even less likely that there will be any problems with the Bingzhou army. Ding Yuan is dead. Is it possible that Lu Bu will abandon his family and join the coalition forces to rebel?
The only ones left are the Xiliang Army. Guo Hao is a stranger and cannot die, so the only person who can shake the Xiliang Army is Dong Zhuo.
"It's Mr. Dong's daughter and granddaughter!" Jia Xu said with certainty.
"It must be that these old foxes like Huangfu Song are playing both sides. We will deal with them after this war is over." Li Ru said coldly.
Old foxes like Huangfu Song clearly knew that the aristocratic families would do something weird, but they kept silent about it, and it even endangered his family. Li Ru directly put these people on the blacklist.
"Do you have any information about Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo?" Li Ru asked Jia Xu. He had already guessed the methods used by the aristocratic families, which were nothing more than using poison.
If one wants to control Dong Zhuo, his own daughter or granddaughter is the key, and poison must be used, otherwise the aristocratic family will not be able to control Dong Zhuo.
"I will go back to the palace first. Send people to the palace to strengthen the defense. We must not let go of any possible threat."
Li Ru took the information from Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing and ran away in a hurry. He didn't know what his wife was like now, so how could he not be anxious?
"Seal off the Government Affairs Office, and detain anyone who behaves abnormally."
Jia Xu returned to the Government Affairs Hall and immediately began to seal off the hall. He knew that there must be a traitor among the people recommended by the noble families, and he had to use severe measures in this extraordinary period.
"By the way, the general to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Remember to do it."
Li Ru went and came back, and in his anxiety he almost forgot the important task that Guo Hao had assigned to him.
"Request the appointment of Chen Xi of Yingchuan as prime minister?" Jia Xu was a little jealous. Strictly speaking, he was not even one of the Nine Ministers now, but was acting as the general.
However, Jia Xu's emotions came and went quickly. He knew Chen Xi's talents and was indeed much better than him in governance.
Jia Xu shook his head. It would be easy for him to pass this level, but it would be difficult for others. Whether Chen Xi could convince everyone at that time would depend on Chen Xi's ability.
…
In the allied camp, Yuan Shao once again convened a military meeting. The theme of the meeting was a decisive battle with Guo Hao.
The aristocratic families have already made all the arrangements in the rear, and they will of course have to put a certain amount of pressure on Guo Hao on the front, otherwise, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks will be a joke.
Ju Su arranged his army in another ultimate Xuanxiang military formation. Although it was a death formation, it brought huge benefits to the coalition forces.
This time Yuan Shao was not planning to engage in a small-scale war. After integrating the troops previously, this time he was going to integrate the civil and military officials under the hands of the princes.
"Everyone, the success or failure of the campaign will depend on this one move. I hope you will fight to the death!" Yuan Shao raised his wine glass and said with a smile.
"Yes!" The princes raised their glasses in response, but everyone's expression seemed a little forced.
With the alliances of Yuan Shao's advisers and Yuan Shao himself in a wise and powerful state, the entire coalition is now simply out of Yuan Shao's control.
Unless someone is willing to stand up and sacrifice himself, no one can break Yuan Shao's situation now.
Relying on the selfishness of the princes and the pressure from Guo Hao, Yuan Shao had quietly completed the infiltration of the coalition forces.
Yuan Shao could now even directly capture any of the princes, but he couldn't do so as that would arouse the resentment of the princes, and he didn't want to see a situation where both sides would be destroyed.
In order to deal with Guo Hao, Yuan Shao put all his efforts into it.
Yan Yan, Zhang Ren and other people whose monarchs were not around were forced to join Yuan Shao's army early on. If Yuan Shao had not been concerned about his appearance, he would have started poaching them long ago.
Internal Qi leaving the body is a rare strategic resource. Yuan Shao only has four generals with internal Qi leaving the body. How could he not be envious of other people's generals?
Xue Rengui and Yuwen Chengdu, two peerless generals, now have higher status in the coalition than the players. If it weren't for the recruitment order as a guarantee, a group of players would have turned against them long ago.
To poach military generals and civil officials is to poach their very lifeblood.
Even if Yuan Shao was cautious and did not poach players, the players formed an alliance early on under the influence of reality.
