Chapter 176: The End of the Game 2
Yang Lin walked towards Guo Hao with a pale face, holding the Qionglong Stick. The Sun Riders who were originally surrounding Guo Hao silently stopped Yang Lin and disarmed him.
"Let him come over!" After Guo Hao spoke, the Sun Riders silently made way for Yang Lin, and then watched Yang Lin's every move.
Yang Lin dismounted from his horse, walked up to Guo Hao and saluted.
"I hope the general will show mercy and spare the lives of these soldiers!"
"We are all Han people. It was all the princes who caused the rebellion. As long as we are willing to surrender, we will still be Han people." Guo Hao nodded , very satisfied with Yang Lin's behavior.
If a real fight breaks out, at least thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers will have to be killed to quell the war. They are all future troops, so he is unwilling to kill in vain.
"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life imprisonment." Chen Xi shook his head. Necessary warnings must be given. Otherwise, if everyone rebels, there will be no order in this world.
"Thank you, General!" Yang Lin bowed solemnly to Guo Hao.
Guo Hao sighed. It was finally over. Next, it was time to comprehensively rectify the country.
"We won. Now it all depends on Zichuan's methods!" Guo Hao looked at Chen Xi and said very calmly.
"After this battle, all the noble families in the world surrendered. After we have cleared the country, it will be your turn, Zichuan, to revive our empire."
"That's right. After this battle, it will be difficult for the noble families to unite. It will be easy to split them up."
Chen Xi nodded without refusing. Although he liked to slack off, he always showed seriousness in realizing his dreams.
"We just need to proceed step by step according to the plan. In comparison, how to deal with Yuan Shao and his men is what we should worry about."
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot be escaped. Just send them to labor reform. Put the soldiers and officials of the coalition forces into the labor reform." Guo Hao spoke slowly. Yuan Shao and others were also one of the elites of the empire. He really didn't want to kill them unless it was necessary.
"Give the order to clean up the battlefield. Yuan Shao and his men can't go back. Zhou Yu is in the allied camp. Yuan Shao and his men have no hope." Chen Xi said casually.
"The seven most important ones among the twenty-eight coalition forces are all traitors. The other princes are in bad luck for the rest of their lives." Guo Hao said with a chuckle.
"Then we must thank our great leader Yuan. If it weren't for his great talent and wisdom, how could he have pushed so many people to us?" Chen Xi calmly opened his folding fan. "Also, it's really thanks to Deputy Leader Yuan. If it weren't for him, I don't think it would have been so smooth."
Yang Lin was extremely disappointed as he listened to the conversation between Guo Hao and Chen Xi. He asked what was going on because he had no memory of the existence of Huang Zhong's archer corps.
Even if he had forgotten the information about Huang Zhong's existence, it was impossible for everyone to have forgotten it. Now it seemed that their deputy leader was secretly working behind the scenes.
"Clean up the battlefield and prepare to go to the camp to accept surrender!" Guo Hao led the Feixiong, Xianzhen and Taiyang legions to the coalition camp. Soldiers from other legions stayed behind to guard the prisoners and take care of the wounded. They are all family now, and those who can be saved must be rescued.
Not to mention how easy it was for Guo Hao, the coalition forces were in dire straits.
After Liu Bei and others fled, Yuan Shao also took the remaining princes back to the camp to guard the overall situation.
As a result, before they reached the camp, they were blocked by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
Sun Ce also took the opportunity to have some fun, as there were not many opportunities to lead troops to attack a peerless and powerful general.
He took advantage of the fact that Gao Chong did not have many soldiers under his command and used his superior numbers to bully the weak. In order to protect Yuan Shao, Gao Chong refused to give in and was finally beaten unconscious by Sun Ce.
Sun Ce held Gao Chong in one hand and spoke to Yuan Shao with the other.
"Please come in, Grand Master Yuan!"
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth in hatred. If he still didn't understand what was happening, he was not worthy of being called Yuan Benchu.
"Can you come forward now?"
Yuan Shao looked back at the princes angrily. He didn't expect that besides Liu Bei and his men, there was actually a traitor.
They came here through a shortcut. If someone hadn't tipped them off, there was no way Sun Ce would have been able to catch them. The ambush circle just surrounded them, and they had nowhere to escape.
Yuan Shao, who was originally staring at a group of player princes, looked at the person who stood out, and his eyes changed from surprise to astonishment, and finally to anger.
"Yuan Gonglu! How could it be you? Do you want to destroy the Yuan family?" Yuan Shao roared loudly. He suspected many people, even his childhood playmate Cao Cao, and he was on guard against him. But the only person he was not on guard against was Yuan Shu.
In his heart, even if Yuan Shu was at odds with him, the conflict was between the two brothers, and Yuan Shu would never do anything to harm the Yuan family, but reality slapped him hard in the face.
"Haha, Yuan Benchu, do you think you can represent the Yuan family? I just helped the Yuan family find a better way." Yuan Shu said with a sneer. A mere son of a commoner family really thinks he is the head of the Yuan family. If you want to represent the Yuan family, you, Yuan Benchu, are still far from it.
Yuan Shao's face changed several times. He heard a lot of meanings from Yuan Shu's words. Yuan Shu's behavior was equivalent to the aristocratic families placing bets separately. No matter which side won, the aristocratic families would not lose.
And now that he has lost, it proves that Yuan Shu was right and that Yuan Shu was more suitable to be the head of the Yuan family than him.
"Let's go, everyone. The outcome of the frontal battle is almost decided. Let's go to the camp and wait for the general." Zhou Yu greeted the princes with a smile.
All the players had completely fainted at this time. They really didn't understand what was going on.
In reality, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, and Sun Jian all turned against the alliance, and then even their deputy leader turned against the alliance. It seemed that they were all outsiders for a long time.
To be honest, although there are think tanks in reality to analyze the situation for them, most of their analyses are about the development direction of various regions.
The general argument of the think tank is that the coalition forces will be defeated because Guo Hao's side is in an invincible position, and even if they take a step back, they can imitate Dong Zhuo's approach and move the capital and run away.
But no one has ever analyzed for them why the direction of the battlefield was so confusing, and the million-strong coalition army was so easily defeated.
After this wave of fighting, let alone the direction of development, a group of players even had their hometowns taken away by others.
Just when the princes were blocked by Sun Ce, the front battlefield was almost cleared.
Under Yang Lin's call, the coalition forces collapsed quickly, especially Xu Chu and others who made a big circle and ran back to the command platform.
After Ju Shou and Tian Feng, who were left on the command platform to coordinate the central army, were knocked unconscious, the strength of the alliance soldiers who were originally focused suddenly dropped back to their original level, with double talents directly dropping to single talent, and the difference in combat effectiveness could be said to be like heaven and earth.
The weakening of strength and the cutting off of the general's flag, each of these factors caused the morale of the Allied forces to plummet.
The strength of the alliance army was originally at a slight disadvantage after being amplified. After Ju Su's spiritual talent dissipated, it directly dragged the alliance army into the abyss of destruction.
Even though generals like Yuwen Chengdu and Yan Liang bravely took the lead, they were unable to save the situation, not to mention that Guo Hao had more powerful generals.
With the cooperation of Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and others who came to surrender voluntarily, it was extremely easy to clean up the battlefield.
The unlucky old man Yuwen Chengdu was beaten up by several people and captured. As for Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other famous generals from Hebei, they were unable to withstand the joint attack of several peerless warriors, and none of them could even commit suicide.
"Qi~" Lu Bu curled his lips in disdain. Zhao Yun snatched another general's head from him. This was the third head that Zhao Yun had snatched from him.
Dian Wei and Huang Zhong hid far away. They didn't know why the two men disliked each other, but they didn't want to bring trouble to themselves.
They would never do such a stupid thing as offending a general of the same level as themselves for no reason.
"Hmph, if I don't teach you a lesson, you'll really think I, Zhao Zilong, am easy to bully." Zhao Yun felt happy as he looked at the furious Lu Bu.
A good guy like him was bullied by Lu Bu every day, and finally he couldn't help but teach Lu Bu a lesson.
He still doesn't know why Lu Bu targets him every day, even though he has done nothing wrong.
Even if you, Lu Bu, are invincible in the world, so what? I, Zhao Zilong, am no pushover. If you have the guts, beat me to death.
Although Lu Bu was furious, as a military general, he knew that the battlefield was not a place to mess around.
Lu Bu was determined to teach Zhao Yun a lesson; he had never suffered such humiliation before.
Qu Yi managed to maintain harmony among the generals. After all, he was still the nominal commander-in-chief. Guo Hao had gone to take over the coalition camp, so this kind of thing could only be left to him.
Guo Hao and his group were all cavalry, and with the help of Feixiong to provide acceleration, they quickly arrived at the Allied Forces camp.
Looking at Cao Hong and Chen Dao who were coming to meet them, Guo Hao was very satisfied, as they were both loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.
"Greetings, General!" Cao Hong and Chen Dao bowed immediately after seeing Guo Hao.
"No need to be so polite. You've done a good job this time. I'll recommend you two for credit later!" Guo Hao waved his hand and asked the two to lead the way. He couldn't wait to take over the coalition forces, as he had many large projects that urgently needed labor.
Not to mention the distant ones, even the Zhengguo Canal, Liufu Canal and Baigong Canal in the Chang'an area were in urgent need of development, which required a lot of strong laborers.
The Zhengguo Canal that helped the Qin Dynasty to change the Guanzhong Plain, the Liufu Canal during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu of Han, the Baigong Canal during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han... As long as this series of canals were reopened, billions of fertile fields would be added to the Guanzhong Plain in an instant, which would directly ensure that several large states around Sili would not lack food.
Moreover, the game world determines that the output of these fertile fields will not decline. It is possible that there will be no more food crisis in the world in two or three years.
Although this project would probably require the involvement of several million civilians to be effective, the coalition soldiers were much stronger than the civilians, and one could easily defeat several.
This kind of infrastructure project, which has a huge gap, is really suitable for the current situation.
This kind of project is just right for the coalition soldiers to make up for their crimes and make meritorious contributions. After all, there must be rewards and punishments. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos and governance will only become more difficult.
When these projects are completed, this group of veteran soldiers who have experienced many hardships will be able to serve as the backbone of the Han Dynasty. Wouldn't it be wonderful to expand the army when there is no need to worry about food?
With a population of over one billion, as long as there are more than 10 million regular soldiers, you can kill anyone you want.
By then, let alone the Northern Huns, even Japan and Goryeo will be conquered.
"Let's go and meet our princes!" Guo Hao laughed and brought Chen Xi to the coalition's central camp.
As soon as he entered the tent, Guo Hao saw the princes sitting on both sides like clay sculptures.
"It seems like you all have been waiting for a long time!" Guo Hao sat in the main seat and looked at everyone with a smile.
Yuan Shao had already returned to normal by this time. Knowing that he had failed, he would not become hysterical and furious. In this desperate situation and against the odds, his momentum was even stronger than before.
If we calculate Yuan Shao's numerical value at this moment, he is definitely comparable to any ancient sage, or even better. However, these are meaningless to Guo Hao.
What’s the use even if you, Yuan Shao, are the reincarnation of the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor? The winner is Guo Hao. No matter how wise and great Yuan Shao is at this moment, he cannot change this cruel ending.
"General, what do you want to do with us?" Yuan Shao was too lazy to dwell on what happened before. It was Guo Hao's ability that he was able to instigate Yuan Shu to rebel. It was too late to say anything now.
"Traitors, you deserve death!" Guo Hao said with a smile, and then he changed the subject. "But you are the elite of my Han family after all, and I can't bear to kill you. You should follow me back to Luoyang and wait for your punishment!"
After raising it high and putting it down gently, Guo Hao looked at all the players.
"As for you players, go to Luoyang with Alliance Leader Yuan first. I will arrange for you to go east later. As for why you are going east, I don't think I need to explain more, right?"
"By the way, I will recruit your generals first. This is the price you pay for your defeat."
A group of players nodded. Whatever the boss said was the truth. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. Even if Guo Hao beat them all now, they would have nothing to say.
What's more, everyone understands Guo Hao's arrangements. Apart from the Japanese players who are living a good life in the east, what other enemies could there be?
"Well, the task of escorting the adults to Luoyang is now handed over to you, Yuan Gonglu. Although I am very happy that you made the right choice, the Yuan family still needs to give me an explanation. This is the second time. You won't be so lucky next time."
Yuan Shu bowed to show that he understood clearly, and that he had known all this when he made his choice.
"By the way, tell the other families to think clearly about how to deal with me, and don't ask me to use the army to wake them up."
After Guo Hao arranged the fate of the allied forces in a few words, he looked at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
"Congratulations, Bofu, Gongjin. I will advise the princess to confer titles of nobility upon you two. If it weren't for me, you two would be the youngest marquises."
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were still young at heart, and they couldn't help but smile with joy when they heard Guo Hao's promise.
To become a marquis at a young age, that is the dream of many young people.
A group of princes in the camp looked at Guo Hao. After all, the youngest marquis in the Han Dynasty was Guo Hao.
Not only was he granted a title of nobility at a young age, but he also rose to the rank of general. Basically, the next fifty or sixty years were Guo Hao's world.
If Guo Hao marries the eldest princess and becomes a daughter-in-law of the Han Dynasty, it would be uncertain what the Han Dynasty's surname would be in the future.
