Volume 2, Chapter 48, Tug of War
The night is dark.
On the top of Shu Mountain, the sound of the wind is whimpering.
"The astrological signs are blurry, and the future is uncertain." Zhuge Liang gently waved the feather fan, looking at the starry sky with his slightly tired eyes. He watched the astrological signs at night. There seemed to be a layer of mist in front of his eyes, which was still impossible to see through.
"Prime Minister, it's late at night, it's time to rest." Yang Yi put his hands in his cuffs and lowered his head.
"Yang Yi, how long can the blood crystals in stock last?" Zhuge Liang looked back and asked.
"Prime Minister Don't worry. In order to deal with the invasion of the powerful Qin, the blood crystals in stock are enough to consume a million troops for three years." Yang Yi said with a smile.
"Three years... the war of attrition with Qin came earlier than I expected. The next step was a long tug-of-war. I hope Qin could retreat in the face of difficulties." Zhuge Liang sighed to the sky.
According to past experience, the longest record of Qin attacking other countries was one year.
...
The second day after the power of the Bagua Formation was fully opened, Qin State quickly made adjustments. Wang Jian added 200,000 troops to the front line, and Lu Bu led 300,000 soldiers to attack the Bagua Formation day and night.
Next month, 300,000 soldiers retreated and another wave of 300,000 soldiers went into battle. This is the case every month.
However, no one expected that this tug-of-war would not be decided until the end of the year.
Of course, except for a few generals such as Wang Jian who were mentally prepared, no one could have expected that this tug-of-war would last for three years.
Shoot a rabbit running away quickly, shoot a wild boar with thick skin, shoot a sparrow passing through the forest...
Shen Lian constantly honed his archery skills and improved the archers' level in shooting prey, level 1, level 2, level 3...
A year later, Shen Lian became a 40th-level archer, and one arrow was enough to penetrate the scales of the rotten-eating blood-eating vulture, so he began to hunt the rotten-eating blood-eating vulture.
"The scavengers live in the woods with strong swamp smell and have a strong sense of territory. Any attempt to approach their nests will attract groups to attack them."
In response, Shen Lianquan exerted the powerful strength of the three divine levels of actor Gu. He first sneaked into the nest of the thief with a rotten blood-eating vulture and released a large amount of smoke to cover the confusion. Then he converted to the barbarian king. Relying on his super perception ability, he locked the positions of some low-level rotten blood-eating vultures, sneaked into the fire heavy axe and seriously injured it, and finally converted to a archer and shot.
In this way, the archer's divine level will be rapidly improved, and swallowing the blood crystal will allow the Barbarian King to be promoted quickly, killing two birds with one stone.
Two years have passed in a blink of an eye.
"The Barbarian King 150th level, the Thieves 20th level, and the Bowmen 100th level!" After three years of training, Shen Lian grew up rapidly at an astonishing speed.
And when the Barbarian King was promoted to level 150, a great joy happened.
The "Emperor Treasure House" hidden in Shen Lian's eyebrows has been opened again!
The imperial treasure house is an innate treasure with unlimited storage space. It contains the flame knife, the sky-eating sword, the snow spirit sword, a large number of gold and jade bi, and the thorn dead gun!
"The golden jade bi is an important resource for the evolution of the Gu world. I wonder if it is useful to the Gu in the Mang World?" Shen Lian took out the golden jade bi with great expectations and refined and absorbed it. As a result, he only felt that the divine power in his body grew slightly, which was a chance!
Another month passed, and Shen Lian consumed all the gold and jade bis.
The Barbarian King was promoted to level 200 in one go!
"The Flame Sword and the Sky Erosion Sword are deadly top weapons according to the standards of the Ryu Realm. The sword spirit of the Snow Spirit Sword is still sleeping. The Thorn Dead Gun is definitely a catastrophe-level weapon." Shen Lian checked out the trump card in his hand and was more confident in the next battle.
In the past three years, the two armies of Qin have not succeeded all the way, but have not given up.
Chibi and Bai Qi led their troops to continue to attack, and they fought against Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Huang Gai and Lu Su of Wu, each with their victory and defeat, and it was difficult to solve.
In Shushan, Wang Jian's patience seemed endless.
Calm and calm.
The two armies seemed to have the confidence to win and persisted in attacking for three years.
Anyone can see that Qin State was determined to take Shu or Wu this time.
Qin Shihuang, who decided the direction of this tug-of-war, disappeared for three consecutive years.
The Qin State's government affairs were completely handed over to the two prime ministers, Lu Buwei, Li Si, and the left and right. Without the emperor's charge, everything was as stable as Mount Tai.
No one knows where Qin Shihuang went, but everyone knows that when he appears in Shushan or Chibi, it is time to decide the outcome.
Just at the end of the Xia Dynasty, something happened that changed the fate of Shu Kingdom.
It resisted the attack of Qin's army for three consecutive years. The already weak Shu Kingdom could not bear the consumption and asked Wei for help.
The Wei State was also very powerful and decided to send a large number of resources to the Shu State. However, these resources were destroyed and destroyed along the way!
The Qin traitor who was hiding in Shu Kingdom endured for three years in order to defeat Shu Kingdom's life-saving straw.
Shu Kingdom is in a desperate situation.
Zhuge Liang was forced to show his carefully prepared trump card - the King of the Southern Barbarians.
"At night, the Southern Barbarian King led his army to raid the Qin army camps, setting fires everywhere to create chaos. Our army took advantage of the chaos and attacked the Qin army with millions of troops, striving to defeat them in one battle!"
This is not such a clever plan. Zhuge Liang did not want to take the initiative unless he had to. He knew the strength of the Qin army. Even if he retreated from these three million Qin troops, Qin Shihuang would send more Qin soldiers, which would be best if he could guard the Bagua Formation.
