Free Web NovelChapter 205: Fourth-Rank Tiger Talisman, Diabolical Strategy Again
Although Long Chen has only been active for a short time, just a few years, he has never suffered a major defeat and can be considered a general who frequently achieves victory!
Moreover, Long Chen’s strategic wisdom is extraordinary, and he has many talented and capable individuals under his command. If one follows Long Chen, they can engage in battles with great satisfaction.
Lu Bu is gradually realizing his own shortcomings now, which primarily involve a lack of strategies and a tendency towards reckless aggression.
Despite possessing the dominance of Xiang Yu, he lacks the finesse of others.
Seeing Lu Bu hesitate, Long Chen decided to play his trump card.
His eyes instantly became deep and profound as if gazing into a vast sea of smoke, looking towards the north and pointing in that direction, his voice melancholic yet magnetic.
At this moment, Long Chen’s charm value of 100 was fully revealed.
"Fengxian, do you know what my greatest wish in this life is?"
Lu Bu’s expression showed surprise and he asked, "I do not know."
In an instant, Long Chen’s demeanor changed, his voice solemn, "Fengxian, as you are also a Han Chinese, you naturally understand the former glory of our Great Han hundreds of years ago."
"Anyone who invades our Great Han, no matter how far, shall be put to death!"
"However, today, the world is in chaos, with various warlords rising and foreign tribes suddenly showing signs of rebellion, threatening our borders."
"Fengxian, you once fought against foreign tribes on the frontier of Bingzhou, you must know this!"
When he mentioned this, it seemed to touch upon Lu Bu’s sore spot.
He had obtained his official position by fighting against foreign tribes on the frontier of Bingzhou in his early years.
In those battles against foreign tribes, he also deeply understood their ferocity and ruthlessness.
Many of his comrades and loved ones had died in raids by foreign tribes.
Therefore, Lu Bu... harbored deep hatred towards the border tribes.
Now, Long Chen’s words pinpointed Lu Bu’s youthful ambitions—exterminate all foreign tribes and restore our Huaxia!
A few hot tears shimmered in Lu Bu’s eyes as he clasped his fists, "General, what you say is true!"
During the conversation, their addressing of Long Chen had changed.
Being a perceptive individual, Long Chen seized the opportunity and said:
"My ambition is to revive the prosperity of the Great Han Dynasty!"
"Fengxian, would you be willing to help me achieve this ambition?"
At this moment, Lu Bu no longer hesitated, he knelt on one knee and respectfully clasped his fists, "Lord, please accept my obeisance!"
At the same time, the system prompt sounded in his mind again.
"Ding! Lu Bu’s favorability towards you has increased to 80."
"Ding! Conquering the strongest general in the Huaxia server, you have received rewards..."
"Obtained Tiger Talisman [Demon. Vanguard Camp]."
[Demon. Vanguard Camp]: Fourth-tier special troop—Heavy Infantry, blessed with the Devil Lord’s flame, increases all attributes by 20%.
Enhances one soldier from the original Vanguard Camp per day.
Long Chen’s expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen a fourth-tier troop. Previously, the highest I saw was only third-tier troops.
I didn’t expect fourth-tier troops to be so legendary, with the blessing of the Devil’s flame. That looks really imposing!
Long Chen had already begun to imagine himself leading his troops into battle, with the Vanguard Camp glowing with devilish flames behind him.
And the rewards weren’t over yet...
"Received basic resource package, adding 100,000 each of wood, stone, iron ore, and provisions!"
"Received special building blueprint [Barracks. Purple]."
[Barracks. Purple]: Increases troop capacity by +100,000.
Long Chen’s face lit up with joy. This was a great item.
His original barracks were only blue grade, with limited troop capacity.
Now, with the purple-grade barracks, he could increase his army size to 160,000.
That’s not a small number!
This time, gaining Lu Bu came with a whole heap of benefits.
Long Chen quickly helped Lu Bu up, and the two of them spent the night together in camp.
Long Chen seemed to have successfully employed the method of recruiting talents with Lu Bu’s big ears.
Surprisingly, it worked quite well, and Lu Bu’s favorability towards him rose to 83.
The only discomfort was Lu Bu snoring loudly in the middle of the night, his snores sounding like thunder.
The next day, seeing Long Chen with panda eyes, Lu Bu asked with concern:
"Lord, your complexion doesn’t look good. Did I keep you awake last night?"
Long Chen waved his hand repeatedly, "No, not at all..."
During their conversation,
suddenly, a dark figure arrived in a ghostly manner in front of Long Chen.
Seeing the black flying fish uniform, Long Chen knew that the Brocade Guard had made some major discovery.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come to report directly to him.
"Report!"
"Master, there are two armies heading towards Chang’an City. Upon investigation, the enemy forces are Zhang Ji and Fan Chou from the Western Liang Army!"
Upon hearing this, Long Chen did not show any signs of panic. On the contrary, Lu Bu, who was beside him, couldn’t sit still.
There were not only his beloved wives and concubines in Chang’an City, but also a large amount of his wealth!
However, seeing that the lord did not speak, he didn’t say anything either. After all, there were superiors handling such matters.
He only needed to follow Long Chen’s orders, which was much better than having to worry about everything himself as before.
This feeling was quite good...
Long Chen waved his hand to dismiss everyone and summoned Guo Jia to discuss the matter with him.
Guo Jia, with the appearance of a debauchee, held a wine jug and laughed:
"Lord, do you want to completely obtain Emperor Liu Xie?"
Long Chen nodded vigorously. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Certainly thought about it, he traveled a long way to Chang’an, just for this young Liu Xie.
"Well, this matter is simple! Your Excellency just needs to slowly mobilize the army."
"After Zhang Ji and Fan Chou have looted Chang’an empty, then kill those leaders of the noble families, clearing obstacles for Your Excellency."
"By then, even if Your Excellency wants to bring the Emperor back to Yangzhou, there won’t be much opposition."
"But if we use this plan, Your Excellency must be mentally prepared; Duke Wang may die by the chaotic army’s blade."
This...
After hearing Guo Jia’s strategy, he suddenly felt enlightened.
Using the chaos of the Xiliang army to kill those annoying noble families, it’s truly ingenious!
Long Chen couldn’t help but admire Guo Jia’s cunning! This plan is too ruthless.
And the possibility that his father-in-law Wang Yun might die in Chang’an makes Long Chen somewhat uncomfortable.
After all, Wang Yun was once Long Chen’s mentor.
But those who achieve great things do not worry about trivial matters!
Long Chen is not indecisive; immediately, he nods towards Guo Jia.
Seeing Your Excellency so decisive, it’s best to act decisively.
Guo Jia is increasingly appreciative of him.
This is the perfect image of a lord in his mind!
In such turbulent times, only those like Long Chen, akin to the likes of Cao Cao, can unify this vast land.
The determination to sacrifice a few for the sake of millions...
Immediately, Long Chen’s army slowly moves towards Chang’an.
As they march, Guo Jia rides up to Long Chen’s side and whispers a few words.
Long Chen’s eyes shimmer with determination as he nods repeatedly.
If anyone were to observe closely, they would notice that as Long Chen’s army gradually advances, several thousand soldiers seem to have disappeared.
However, with a total of ninety thousand troops, the disappearance of several thousand soldiers goes unnoticed by Li Jue’s scouts, unable to make such a precise count.
They only have a rough estimate.
Seeing Long Chen and Lu Bu turn their armies to retreat towards Chang’an, Li Jue bursts into laughter upon observing from the rear.
His deputy asks him about it.
