Chapter 757: Prelude to the War

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "It is not impossible to build this floating island ship. There are two most difficult materials, one we already have, and the other has news. After a while, we should be able to set off to the island that Sun Jian mentioned. As for the high-quality materials behind, although it costs a lot to buy, we do not need to buy them all! With the current situation in our territory, one-third of the materials listed above can be found in the territory and their output can meet the construction needs. The most important thing is that we have now entered the Endless Sea. There are still a lot of materials like the fourth and fifth grades on the Endless Sea. We just need to spend some manpower to collect them. Even if the remaining ones need to be purchased, they will not cost much."

Yang Tian knew about these situations and said with a smile: "It was precisely because we had a high possibility to build the floating island ship that I agreed to lend the ship to Sun Jian. You will send a message to Jia Xu later, asking him to draw 100 Sea King giant ships from the waters near the fishing checkpoint and drive them to the vicinity of Jiangxia City. I think it will take less than ten days to reach Jiangxia at the speed of the Sea King giant ship. As for the ships vacant in the fleets over there, they will be supplemented by the newly built ones from Zhenhai City. During this period, nearly 50 Sea King giant ships have been built, so that people can drive these to the Sea King fishing area as soon as possible."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "I understand!"

Yang Tian said at this time: "Fengxiao, in my opinion, after Sun Jian borrowed these hundred giant ships of the Sea King, and with the assistance of Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, the chance of defending the Yangtze River front increased greatly, and the battle between dragons and tigers is probably difficult to predict!"

Guo Jia was a little curious and asked, "Lord, is Zhou Yu really so capable?"

Yang Tian smiled faintly and said, "Zhou Yu does have the talent of conquering the world, and he is probably not inferior to Feng Xiao you."

Guo Jia said: "Since the lord admires Zhou Yu so much, why not take him to the lord's account? I remember that the lord has a scroll of historical general submission in his hand! I believe it should be not difficult to conquer Zhou Yu."

Yang Tian shook his head and said, "I don't plan to use this scroll for the time being. Although he is capable, he is serving Sun Jian. You know, Fengxiao. We have been operating Sun Jian's power for this period of time. If our plan can be successful, it will be the same whether Zhou Yu will accept it or not."

Guo Jiashan smiled and said, "I'm so anxious. The general's submission scroll may be able to achieve greater value elsewhere."

Yang Tian said, "Fengxiao. Go and arrange it first! transfer the ship as soon as possible. Just contact the pigeon! Don't go back to Baiyun City now. If Liu Biao uses a secret move to drag Changsha City into the war. The teleportation array cannot be used, you will not be able to return to Changsha City for a while."

"Yes! Lord!" Guo Jia received the order.

Afterwards, Guo Jia left the room and arranged the ship dispatch matters.

...

Perhaps Yang Tian's crow mouth had an effect. At noon the next day, Yang Tian received a notice from Sun Jian that Changsha City was attacked by unknown enemies and fell into a state of war, and the teleportation array stopped being used. What's even more strange is that Sun Jian sent people to search around Changsha City, but he was unable to find the enemy. Changsha City has never been able to get out of the state of war.

In less than half an hour, Yang Tian got another news that all the small city-level and above cities in Changsha County were attacked and fell into a state of war. The result was just like Changsha City, no one could find the enemy who attacked the city.

Everyone speculated that this was a trick Liu Biao used, the purpose of which was to prevent Changsha County from finding foreign aid and add variables to the war. It was also a psychological tactic, hoping to shock Sun Jian so that he could surrender without fighting.

In fact, this is true, because when Liu Biao heard Yuan Shao, Sun Jian fought with the right general Sunshine when he was conquering Dong Zhuo, and Liu Biao dared not underestimate the strength of Baiyun City. Although he also knew that most of the Baiyun City troops were dragged to the battle at the fishing checkpoint, what if Sun Guang had a nerve wrong and suddenly transferred the army to the army?

Liu Biao was prepared for this because he had a special army under his command.

Generally speaking, it is not possible for a single person to make the system determine that the city is in a state of war. If this is true, the teleportation array will become a decoration. Find hundreds of people to attack the city in turn, and then it will be offline after the battle. It is completely enough to keep a city in a state of war. Moreover, if a boring player attacks the city at will, Yang Tian will probably be annoyed to death.

The system determines whether a city is in a state of war by the enemy attacking the city or the enemy about to attack the city. There are many basis for this judgment, and no one can know it all, but everyone knows one thing, that is, if it poses a threat to the city wall and may break the city wall, the city will definitely be dragged into the state of war.

The army under Liu Biao can achieve this effect.

The name of this army is the city digging team. Its specialty is digging, which can dig out an authentic tunnel underground and directly attack into the city. However, the tunnel dug out is very narrow, and it is okay to rush into sneak attacks, but it is not suitable for large-scale attacks. Otherwise, Liu Biao's army would be invincible and invincible. However, this tunnel has another effect. Once the tunnel is dug out below the city wall, the system will determine that there is a defense loophole in the city wall, and this defense loophole is caused by the enemy. In this way, the city will naturally fall into a state of war. This is also the reason why Sun Jian sent a large number of people but failed to find out the enemy, because the enemy is hidden underground, how can they find it?

Liu Biao's city digging team is not large in size, with a total of about 1,000 people. Since this is a special military, there are restrictions on qualifications. Moreover, this restriction is very high, and the minimum must be level A. However, these more than a thousand people are enough to bring all the cities in Changsha County into a state of war.

Although Liu Biao's goal was achieved, Sun Jian was not too anxious. After all, he had no intention of finding reinforcements except Baiyun City. Now that Baiyun City's army could not be transferred, the paralysis of the teleportation array in the entire Changsha County would have no effect on him.

At this time, accurate news from the front line had already arrived. The troops of Nanyang County and Nanjun had already arrived in Jiangxia County. Ships made by large and small towns along the Yangtze River were also constantly heading towards Jiangxia. Everything pointed to Jiangxia, which would be the main battlefield of the battle between Sun and Liu.

Sun Jian was not idle either. On the one hand, he ordered Sun Ce to speed up the recruitment and training work, and to expand the scale of the army in the shortest time and improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Now, not only are the people with B and C qualifications in the NPC towns in the entire Changsha County recruited as soldiers, but even the players' towns were forced to rank some military quotas. This is also an inevitable thing. Although some lord players are dissatisfied, they are on other people's territory and cannot twist their arms. Those who should be released will still be issued. Fortunately, the prejudice of NPC against players is gradually weakening, and Sun Jian also agrees to the players' recruitment. However, the military rules are clearly written, and if a violation is violated, it will be a mercy.

On the other hand, Sun Jian is also stepping up the arrangement of fortifications along the Yangtze River, and has built hidden stakes underwater at several major landing sites. This is also the most direct and effective way of water defense. At the same time, Sun Jian also ordered the dispatch of elite troops from various counties to Changsha, with the estimated number of troops being around two million.

Yang Tian also roughly estimated that Sun Jian's army had at least five million, and nearly one million were composed of players. These belonged to Sun Jian's direct troops, including the one million players. They all took Sun Jian's food and salary and obeyed Sun Jian's orders.

With three days left before Liu Biao set the time, a system prompt rang out throughout China:

China Announcement: Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, ordered the attack on the Sun Jian forces of Changsha County in three days, and the regional plot mission of Jingzhou will be launched. Players who are willing to participate will choose their camps as soon as possible, and then go to the battlefield by themselves (the plot mission rules are consistent with the Xiliang Rebellion). Special reminder: Please think twice before choosing a camp for Jingzhou players.

Yang Tian was not surprised to hear this announcement. After all, the battle between Sun Jian and Liu Biao was a major event in the Three Kingdoms period. If this was not a plot task, it would be a bit unreasonable. The most important thing is that there are many regional plot tasks launched during this period. After all, the emperor has basically lost control over the local area, and the princes from all over the country are ready to move, and none of them are at peace.

It is precisely because there are many regional plot tasks that have been launched during this period that Yang Tian estimated that there will not be many players who can participate in Jingzhou's plot tasks this time, and at least they will not be as large as the previous rebellion of Xiliang. In this era of competition among many heroes, players generally only participate in the plot tasks of the state and county, and it will be beyond reach if it is too far away.

On the second day of the system announcement, the ships drawn from the fishing checkpoint in Baiyun City arrived near the Jiangxia waters. According to Yang Tian's instructions, these ships were only led by a naval general of the king-class strength, and there were no other personnel on the ship except ordinary sailors. The destination of these ships was not Jiangxia County, but Dongting Lake where they continued to move forward.

If Huang Zu's fleet wants to attack Changsha by water, the simplest way is to set off directly from Jiangxia City and arrive at Dongting Lake. After landing in this way, he can reach the city of Changsha in the shortest time. Of course, Liu Biao is not a fool, so he naturally will not do such a thing as going deeper alone, not to mention that his military strength is now superior, so he will not take such risks. However, even if Liu Biao wants to advance steadily, entering Dongting Lake is inevitable. (To be continued...)
