Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World
Chapter 85 Zhang Jue rises up!
In September 184 AD, the weather was clear and sunny.
After Dong Zhuo took over Lu Zhi's northern army, he was very proud and ready to make a big move. However, he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward rashly, falling into an ambush set by Zhang Jue.
Dong Zhuo was beaten badly and fled. If Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Wei and the other four brothers had not arrived in time, Dong Zhuo would have been killed by Zhang Jiao.
"Thank you all generals for your rescue. I wonder which sect you are from?" Dong Zhuo asked in shock.
Liu Bei bowed and replied:
"I am a commoner!"
"Hmph! I am ashamed to associate with a mere commoner!" Dong Zhuo shouted in a hoarse voice, his face full of disdain, and rode away on his horse.
"This guy is so rude. If it weren't for us brothers, he would have been killed by Zhang Jue's sword long ago." Zhang Fei's eyes were wide open with anger.
"Brother, I'm going to kill that fat pig!" Zhang Fei said, and was about to step forward with his spear.
"Third brother, don't make trouble. Now that our teacher has fallen from power, let's go to our senior brother Gongsun Zan!" Liu Bei hurriedly stopped Zhang Fei.
In this battle, Zhang Jue displayed his extraordinary power and awakened his second unparalleled skill, Heavenly Storm.
Heavenly Stage Storm: When Wushuang is activated, you can summon a storm in the combat area, delaying enemy attacks. Enemy Morale ↓↓↓↓ 150, your own Morale ↑↑↑↑ 100, and enemy HP decreases by 10 points. After reaching 15 points, it cannot decrease further.
Zhang Jue's three generals: Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Niujiao, and Chu Yan. They performed outstandingly on the battlefield and were highly commended by Zhang Jue.
With the Yellow Turbans victorious, Zhang Bao took advantage of the situation to recapture much of the lost territory. He stationed 10 troops at Xiaquyang.
Zhang Jue's master, the Immortal Nanhua, used his unfathomable magic to rescue Zhang Liang from prison in Luoyang. After Zhang Liang returned to Jizhou, he stationed a new army of 10 in Guangzong.
Zhang Jue led an army of 15 to garrison Julu. The troops of the three brothers formed an iron triangle defense line, which greatly boosted the morale of the Yellow Turban Army.
News of Zhang Jue's victory over the Han army spread far and wide. Sun Zhong, defeated in Runan, wept with joy upon hearing the news. He led the remnants of his army and rushed to Guangzong overnight.
"General Sun, we fought poorly. General Tian Gong won't blame us, right?" Zhou Cang asked worriedly.
"No! The great and wise teacher is kind. It is a righteous cause for us to break out of the Han army's encirclement and follow him." Sun Zhong answered confidently.
……
Deyang Hall.
Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, sat on the dragon throne, his face as sullen as water, awe-inspiring without anger. His eyes revealed a kind of majesty and depth, as if he could see through everything.
When he heard the news that Dong Zhuo had been defeated, his brow furrowed slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He slowly raised his head, looked at the ministers in front of him, and asked in a low voice:
"How is this going?"
"Is Dong Zhuo a pig? How can he lead the troops?" Emperor Ling of Han slammed the dragon throne and shouted angrily.
The ministers lowered their heads in fear, not daring to meet Emperor Ling's gaze. At this moment, Zhang Rang stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, calm down! General Dong Zhuo has just taken over the Northern Army and is unfamiliar with the area. It's normal for him to suffer a defeat."
"Yes! Guangzong is Zhang Jue's base, and the Yellow Turban soldiers there are very fanatical. It is understandable that Dong Zhuo underestimated the enemy and was defeated." Zhao Zhong on the side also echoed.
"Is that so? Forget it then."
Emperor Ling of Han snorted coldly. If Dong Zhuo hadn't been clever and secretly arranged for the Ten Eunuchs, he would have been exiled or even beheaded.
A lesson for us! Lu Zhi, who laid siege but failed to attack, was taken back to the capital to await trial, and Zhu Jun, who fought a prolonged battle but failed to win, was also held accountable. The imperial court is also a world of its own, not just fighting and killing, but also the ways of the world.
"Dismiss Dong Zhuo from his post as General of the Central Army and have him return to the capital to await orders!" Emperor Ling of Han said loudly.
"Yes!" the ministers responded in unison.
Emperor Ling of Han remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand for his ministers to leave. He sat alone on the dragon throne, pondering the evolving situation. A flicker of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he had made a decision.
"Zhang Jue, since you dare to challenge my authority, don't blame me for being rude." Emperor Ling of Han muttered to himself, his voice firm and cold.
"Father Rang, issue an edict immediately to Huangfu Song, ordering him to take charge of the northern army and seize the opportunity to attack Zhang Jiao's main force in the north." Emperor Ling of Han said to Zhang Rang.
"Yes!" Zhang Rang accepted the order.
Huangfu Song achieved a series of victories in Changsha and Dongjun. Winning these crucial battles also awakened two unparalleled abilities. His combat power was now unrivaled.
Nanyang.
Emperor Ling of Han followed Zhang Wen's advice and gave up the idea of sending Zhu Jun back. He issued an edict to Zhu Jun, ordering him to attack Zhao Hong immediately.
Sun Jian fought bravely in this battle, being the first to attack and kill Zhao Hong, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang. The panicked Yellow Turbans re-elected Han Zhong as their leader.
"General Han, the enemy's attack momentum is very fierce!" said the Yellow Turban general anxiously.
"Don't worry, the Han army has few troops and is nothing to be afraid of." Han Zhong pretended to be calm.
Zhu Jun wanted to seize Wancheng in one fell swoop, so he ordered Sun Jian to attack the Yellow Turbans in the southwest, while he led 5000 elite troops to attack the Yellow Turbans in the northeast.
At this critical moment, a fierce general, He Man, arrived from among the Yellow Turbans. He led the Yellow Turbans to distract Sun Jian. He and Sun Jian fought for dozens of rounds, with the result being evenly matched.
Seeing that the outer city was difficult to recapture, Han Zhong ordered the entire army to retreat to the inner city.
"Pass the order! The entire army retreats to the inner city!" Han Zhong shouted loudly.
"Yes!" the Yellow Turban Army responded in unison.
Zhu Jun had few troops and was unable to capture the inner city.
"Order: Build a hill of earth on the spot and construct a fortification." Zhu Jun said.
"I obey your command!" The generals took the order and left.
.....
Suo Chao finally got some free time, so he rushed to Beiwu College without stopping to pay a visit to the three highly respected deans.
After arriving at the place, he first met with his two mentors. He described the situation of Monan County in detail and asked the two teachers to recommend talents for him.
"President Zheng! We in Mo'nan County are suffering!" Suo Chao cried with a sad face.
"We are extremely short of talents and counselors in internal affairs. You must recommend some brothers and sisters to me!"
As he spoke, Suo Chao frowned tightly, his eyes full of anxiety, and he paced back and forth while looking at Dean Zheng.
"Oh! Didn't Guoyuan go?" Dean Zheng stroked his beard and responded slowly.
"Teacher, this is far from enough!" Suo Chao stopped, clasped his hands together, and said anxiously,
"I hope the teacher can help me!" Suo Chao's face was full of anticipation.
"Okay, I got it. If there is a suitable one, I will pay attention to it." Dean Zheng nodded slightly.
"Dean, I'm still in need of talented generals who can fight well." Suo Chao's expression became more and more solemn, and he played the role of the acting genius to the extreme.
"Well! Isn't your senior brother in the north? He will help you." Dean Zheng said calmly.
……
At this time, Suo Chao, with the idea of not letting his thieves escape unscathed, eagerly studied Teacher Zheng Xuan's combat power analysis course. This new course detailed the standards of combat power.
Combat power level classification: military strength/intelligence/political values (weapon buffs and combat skill buffs are not included. It can be divided into nine levels.)
Ordinary soldiers/mages: 20-30 fighters
Elite Soldier/Elite Mage: 31-54 Battle Champion
Ordinary heroes: 55-64 warriors
Third-rate heroes: 65-74 generals
Second-rate hero: 75-84 Zhan Zong
First-class hero: 85-94 War King
Top-tier heroes: 95-100 War Emperor
Breakthrough (100-120) God of War
Breakthrough (greater than 120 points): War Emperor
Each level can be divided into four stages: early, middle, late and peak.
The Mage's counterpart is the Mage, the Mage Leader, and the Mage Emperor. Each point of Strength or Mana corresponds to a general's attack and defense. Both are equal to 1 points. One point of Leadership determines the attack and defense capabilities of your subordinates, also giving them 10 points of attack and defense.
This course also introduces the impact of battle formations, encirclements, sieges, and strategies on a soldier's combat effectiveness, such as the ± gains on a soldier's individual attack and defense, speed, morale, physique, and other skill effects.
Suo Chao raised his head slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he thought to himself:
"As expected of the most mysterious academy in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Beiwu Academy has established its own combat system and admissions standards over the years."
Facing warriors of equal strength or mana, Suo Chao's divine skills made him invincible. He hadn't researched the extent of the bonus to attack and defense speed. In actual combat, with his peak War Emperor strength, he could be undefeated against a mid-stage War God and even defeat an early-stage War God.
After bidding farewell to the three deans, Suo Chao returned to the front lines of Mo Nan County with resolute steps. At that time, the northern region was short of troops, and he did not dare to mobilize troops to fight against the Yellow Turbans.
"When the time is right, I will go out to support the old general!" He shook his head helplessly.
