Chapter 267 The Change of Lao Cao
"Gongsun Zan wants to support, Zhang Bao and the others can also continue to support."

"Although the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Bao's command is not strong, their Yellow Turban warriors are still very lethal."

According to the news from the dark owl, more than half of Yuan Benchu's tens of thousands of casualties were caused by those yellow scarf warriors.

To say that this yellow turban warrior is comparable to an infantry tank, it is really quite terrifying.

If there is no powerful Lian Gang Wu to stop them and let them charge up, I am afraid that they will be the same as those heavy armored cavalry.

After all, all of them are invulnerable, and have no pain, just like robots, so it is difficult for even elite soldiers to cause much damage to them.

Those who can cause harm must at least have been trained at the seventh level or above.

A person with such a cultivation level can be placed in the army, and he can be a captain of five thousand soldiers and horses.

He was considered a middle-level military officer, and there must not be too many such people.

Even among Su Fan's army of millions, there are probably no more than a thousand at most.

This is what he has selected over the years and spent a lot of materials to cultivate.

It is very easy to cultivate at the third level of strength training. Ordinary people, after entering the army and receiving training, may be able to reach the first or second level of strength training after a few years.

Of course, this is the training of the East China Sea leader. Other princes do not have such a large amount of training and nutritional supplements.

It is not so easy to break through if you practice strength above the fourth level. It requires some talent and continuous hard work. As for the seventh level, it is even more difficult.

I am afraid that many of them will take decades of hard work.

Of course, natural talent doesn't count. For example, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who are in their twenties, have already broken through the refining process. You have nothing to say about these people.

Su Fan spent a lot of money, but he only cultivated such a small number of elites.

And Taiping Dao can quickly create a group of yellow scarf wrestlers comparable to five or six levels of strength training just by relying on some Taoist masters, which shows how terrible this spell is.

Of course, Su Fan knew that there were prerequisites for this. First of all, the spellcasters must have a high level of cultivation.

Secondly, as a carrier, the body must be strong, especially if you want to reach the fifth or sixth level of strength training. The previous cultivation level of the carrier is about two or three levels of strength training.

And once it is used, even if the Yellow Turban Warrior survives, it is considered useless.

In this way, the cost is not small.

Zhang Bao's army of one million can at most release thousands of yellow scarf fighters at a time, so there are still big flaws.

But no matter what, the Yellow Turban Army in Taihang Mountain is still a force that is not weak.

According to the news of the dark owl, the Yellow Turbans in Taihang Mountain are much younger and stronger, and it seems that they are the only remaining forces of the Yellow Turbans, and there are quite a few elites. After all, Zhang Jiao retained some of the elite Yellow Turbans back then.

If it can be armed, the combat power will be improved here.

"With our current supplies, even if we provide them to both parties, there will be no pressure. It is also a good thing for our lord to consume Yuan Benchu's military strength and his background as much as possible."

The enemy is getting weaker and weaker, of course they are willing to see it.

From the beginning of the Great War in the North, Guo Jia, Xunyou and the others were not optimistic about Gongsun Zan. First of all, Gongsun Zan's character and ability.

It is true that Gongsun Zan is a good player in leading troops to fight, and all the advisers present did not disagree with this point.

Even a group of generals like Tai Shici couldn't refute it. In terms of commanding cavalry in battle, none of Tai Shici and the others dared to say that they were better than Gongsun Zan.

However, leading troops to fight, just leading troops to fight, is regarded as an advantage in the position of general, but not necessarily in the position of monarch.

A monarch may not need to have strong military skills, or even poor political skills, it doesn't matter, as long as he can use good people.

If you can adjust the internal personnel relations well, so that the internal talents can display their respective abilities, then you can be regarded as a great monarch.

If you have some internal affairs and military talents, as well as a little open vision, you can be regarded as a great talent.

Obviously, Gongsun Zan is not such a person, he can only be regarded as a general.

However, it is very difficult for this kind of general to become a prince.

The ceiling of the general world, the overlord Xiang Yu, is he not capable when it comes to leading troops in battle?
Absolutely very strong, but after becoming king, he continued to go downhill. This is a lesson from the past. Can Gongsun Zan's ability compare with Xiang Yu's?

No one can think that Gongsun Zan is comparable to Xiang Yu, even he is not even one-tenth of Xiang Yu.

So his failure was doomed.

And Yuan Shao, another great vassal of the Northland, compared with Gaozu Liu Bang, not to mention the abilities of the two.

In terms of comprehensive ability, Liu Bang must surpass Yuan Shao's.

But from the early stage, Liu Bang is not as good as Yuan Shao in any case.

Such a comparison is obviously very clear.

A long time ago, a group of counselors had confessed how long Gongsun Zan could last.

They had even made preparations long ago. Gongsun Zan's ability to persist for several years actually had a lot to do with the East China Sea Territory.

Because of business, after Gongsun Zan acquired Youzhou, he passively developed part of the business, which increased his money and food.

Otherwise, with his bad internal affairs, I am afraid that the money and food will be empty in the first two years, and before the horses were traded, the East China Sea Territory even sent a batch of armaments on purpose.

At that time, there was no real war in the Northland.

It can be said that the East China Sea Territory's support for Gongsun Zan is definitely the greatest, and it has continued.

It's a pity that in the end, Gongsun Zan still didn't beat Yuan Shao.

This also made Su Fan very helpless. He wanted to change, but he didn't.

But in fact, there is a big difference between today's Shenhan and history.

Sun Jian in the south is not dead, and the current emperor is not Liu Xie but Liu Bian.

This is bound to happen, and it is also his arrival that triggers a turning point in fate.

Of course, there is still a little change, and that is about Lao Cao.

At the beginning of the sixth year of Chuping, Lao Cao actually led his troops to Luoyang City, not to rescue the emperor of course, but to follow orders.

Regardless of whether Lao Cao has the idea of ​​rebellion in his heart, at least for now he is still a loyal minister of Shenhan, and he is loyal to Shenhan.

As soon as he received the imperial edict, he led the troops to Luoyang City in a desperate manner.

In fact, not only Lao Cao, but all the princes from all over the world have received imperial edicts, especially Su Fan, who has been promoted to a noble position, and his official position has been directly changed from Yuzhou pastoralist to grand secretary of agriculture.

The good guy is a Jiuqing, and as for the title, he has reached the top of the county.

The premise is that he will go to Luoyang to worship the emperor.

The same is true for others such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others. The Sangong Jiuqing wants them to enter Luoyang anyway.

One look at this thing, it's not a good thing, going to Luoyang, isn't that a sheep into a tiger's mouth?

Except for Lao Cao, the others ignored the court and ignored the other party. Anyway, they all saw the weakness of the Shenhan court, and they had no scruples at all.

Su Fan was actually a little surprised by Lao Cao's choice.
