Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

"Kill!!!" With Yuan Shao's command, the already overwhelming Yuan army's morale soared, and their offensive became even more frenzied. Sun Jian's remaining troops, having lost their leader, still fought bravely, but under the Yuan army's overwhelming onslaught, their formation gradually crumbled, and casualties increased sharply.

Sun Jian's remaining troops wanted to break through, but they had no chance at all.

On the main battlefield, although Yan Liang and Wen Chou were strong, Sun Ce's burst of power was still terrifying. After repelling the two, he directly swung his spear and hurled it at the Yuan Shao soldiers who were surrounding him. A huge spear light rippled out and killed hundreds of soldiers, clearing a large area.

"I can't delay any longer..." For some reason, Sun Ce sensed a crisis enveloping him. If he continued to entangle himself with it, he would be the one in danger.

He then roared fiercely, and those within dozens of feet around him suddenly felt a sharp pain in their eardrums and dizziness. Even Yan Liang and Wen Chou were no exception.

By the time Yan Liang and Wen Chou realized what was happening, Sun Ce had already vanished...

Yuan Shao, who was in the distance, saw that after Sun Ce roared, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and the others froze in place like statues, their faces ashen.

Yuan Shao hissed in a low voice, "Useless! Useless!!"

Under his watchful gaze, Sun Ce suddenly leaped into the sky, then shot south like an arrow and disappeared.

Even the well-informed Yuan Shao hadn't anticipated this tactic.

Sun Jian couldn't stop them, and Sun Ce couldn't capture them; such a defeat was a waste of such a great opportunity!

Thinking of Tao Qian's defeat and Han Fu's misfortune, Yuan Shao felt a tightness in his chest, and his face turned ashen.

None of his recent plans have yielded good results. It seems his luck has truly run out at this time, and he needs to bide his time and build up his strength.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, suppressing all his negative emotions.

"My lord, we made a mistake, please punish us." Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who had no choice but to let Sun Ce escape, came to Yuan Shao to apologize.

"I will not punish you for now. You will lead your troops to quickly wipe out Sun Jian's remaining forces, and then go and encircle and annihilate the Flying Bear Divine Army and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" Yuan Shao ordered.

"Yes, sir!" The two men rallied and personally charged to the forefront, beginning a frenzied slaughter of Sun Jian's remaining forces.

Sun Jian's remaining troops knew that they had to stay for their lord's safety. They were all prepared to die.

However, regardless of their mindset, Sun Jian's forces were quickly annihilated due to overwhelming superiority in both strength and numbers.

Afterwards, without rest, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led their troops back to the camp to encircle and annihilate the Xiliang cavalry.

At this moment, the Xiliang cavalry was still engaged in fierce fighting with Yuan Shu's troops. Seeing that Yuan Shao's troops had withdrawn and knew that Sun Jian had escaped, they did not continue to fight and began to retreat before Yuan Shao's troops could surround them.

On the other side, the Flying Bear Army did not fight to the death, but withdrew in an orderly manner.

Thus ended the first major internal conflict among the feudal lords of Guandong over the Imperial Seal.

In this great battle, everyone except Liu Bei and Lin Mu was involved to varying degrees.

Tao Qian suffered the greatest loss.

After exchanging pleasantries with Qiao Mao and others, Tao Qian decisively led his remaining troops out of the palace and away from Luoyang, the capital.

Although he lost some troops, Tao Qian was able to leave alive, which was the best possible outcome.

Following Cao Cao, Han Fu, Gongsun Zan, and Sun Jian, another warlord has departed.

While a major battle was raging in the imperial palace, a similar battle was also taking place in the northeastern part of Luoyang, outside the palace.

The protagonist of this great battle was none other than Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, the twentieth vassal state.

And their opponents are the player alliance led by Ji Beiqin, Jiang Chenglong, and Xuan Yuan Changying!
Originally, Zhang Miao followed Qiao Mao and others into Luoyang. He also hoped to enter the palace to seek opportunities and defy fate.

However, when his scouts reported that Jiang Chenglong, Ji Beiqin, and other extraordinary lords had reappeared with their troops and were heading towards Luoyang, he abandoned his idea of ​​going to the palace to seize the opportunity. Instead, he led his troops to ambush in Luoyang to deal with the extraordinary lords, including Ji Beiqin and Jiang Chenglong.

Zhang Miao's calculations were accurate. After Ji Beiqin and his troops entered, they operated in the northeast direction. They were particularly fond of meteorites and did not go to the palace, but only searched for and collected meteorites outside.

Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, Zhang Miao and the other extraordinary individuals' troops dispersed and suddenly launched a fierce attack, beginning a frenzied assault on the extraordinary individuals' troops.

Caught off guard, Ji Beiqin, Jiang Chenglong, and their troops suffered heavy casualties and their formation was thrown into chaos.

Even with a number exceeding two million, they could not withstand the onslaught of Zhang Miao's mere hundreds of thousands of troops. In an instant, cries of agony filled the air, and white light flashed everywhere.

"Can we contact Zhang Ning so we can join forces to deal with Zhang Miao?" Ji Beiqin's face was extremely gloomy as he watched Zhang Miao laughing wildly as he chased after his soldiers.

“She ignored me… but she said before that she wanted to pledge allegiance to Dong Zhuo and use Zhang Chao’s corpse as a pledge of loyalty, so she must have gone to Chang’an.” Jiang Chenglong shook his head and said.

"Could we contact Lin Mu? Lin Mu definitely has the ability to deal with Zhang Miao," Xuan Yuan Changying asked.

“No. He replied that he’s busy in the palace and can’t get away,” Ji Beiqin said, shaking his head.

"Sigh... our development is still too slow. We can't even handle the weakest NPC lords. We can't even hold them off in a head-on confrontation..." Jiang Chenglong sighed softly. "Hmph! Zhang Miao only launched a sneak attack. Our men were armed with shovels and ropes. They never even considered engaging in a direct fight." Ji Beiqin sneered.

"Forget it, let's avoid their sharp edge for now," Xuanyuan Changying said solemnly.

"Yes, let's ignore Zhang Miao for now, getting the meteorite is the most important thing."

The fact that a meteorite can be exchanged for a spot to learn the Zhou Tian Transport Technique speaks volumes about its importance.

"Let's separate them, spread them out even more, that way we'll keep them running around like crazy," Jiang Chenglong suggested.

"it is good."

The three began to disperse, moving to the east, north, and even the south.

After a brief charge, Zhang Miao discovered that the alien troops had scattered and fled, their efficiency reduced by more than ten times. He knew then that the battle was essentially over.

"It's a pity we didn't catch Ji Beiqin, Jiang Chenglong, and Xuan Yuan Changying. Consider yourself lucky." Zhang Miao looked at the empty street and snorted coldly.

Subsequently, he led his troops back in triumph.

However, when he met up with Qiao Mao and others and learned about Tao Qian's situation, a sense of crisis suddenly overwhelmed him.

Tao Qianzhi was several times stronger than him, yet he still ended up in such a state. If he were to fall into the same trap, or be outmaneuvered, his fate would be even more tragic... He might even die!
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao broke out in a cold sweat, and a chill ran down his spine.

Luoyang, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, is no longer a place of dreams, but a place where warlords reap rewards and compete!

"When that time really comes, even the reputation of the Zhang family won't be able to save me," Zhang Miao sighed.

After some deliberation, Zhang Miao decisively bid farewell to Qiao Mao, Liu Dai, and others, and led his troops away from Luoyang.

The feudal lords departed one by one...

Zhang Miao's departure had already caused Qiao Mao and others to feel sentimental. Now that the Imperial Seal of the State had been taken away by Sun Jian, the greatest opportunity was gone. What use would it be if it remained in the palace?

The matter of the dragon vein in Nangong may be an opportunity, but it could also be a battlefield where lives are at stake.

In Qiao Mao's tent, the four feudal lords—Qiao Mao, Liu Dai, Kong Zhou, and Kong Rong—were deep in thought with their heads bowed.

Zhang Miao's departure served as a wake-up call.

Just then, a messenger rushed in, followed by a Heavenly Rank Martial General covered in blood.

"My lord, my lord..." The Heavenly Rank general rushed to Liu Dai's side and cried as soon as he entered.

"What happened?" Liu Dai's heart skipped a beat when he saw the Heavenly Rank Martial General, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

The Heavenly Rank Martial General glanced around, and when he saw Qiao Mao, he trembled, but said nothing.

As if aware of his concerns, Liu Dai pulled the Heavenly Rank general to his feet and then quickly left Qiao Mao's tent.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Mao and the other two frowned and exchanged glances, a sense of unease rising in their hearts.

They had a vague feeling that something significant had probably happened in Liu Dai's army, otherwise Liu Dai's brother-in-law wouldn't have lost his composure like this, nor would he have hesitated to speak in front of everyone.

Kong Zhou stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "This general under Liu Gongshan is usually very composed, but his appearance today suggests that..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but his meaning was already very clear: someone was plotting against Liu Dai and was going to make a move against him!

Kong Rong, being straightforward, couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that their rear has been attacked? Or is there some urgent military situation?"

Qiao Mao's expression was solemn. He glanced outside the tent and slowly said, "The situation in Luoyang is already complicated. Now the lords have different thoughts. If there is really a change in Liu Gongshan, we need to make plans as soon as possible."

At this point, Qiao Mao also began to plan his retreat...

The three fell silent, each lost in thought. The atmosphere inside the tent became somewhat oppressive, with only the occasional sounds of soldiers drilling outside reminding them that they were in this ever-changing capital city.

Meanwhile, Liu Dai helped the Heavenly Rank general back to his own camp and immediately inquired about the reason.

"What? You said that Qiao Mao's deputy general led troops to attack you? They looted some of the grain and burned the rest?!" Liu Dai's expression changed drastically upon hearing the report.

He has been in Luoyang for more than ten days, and the food supplies he brought are almost used up. He is planning to contact the troops outside tomorrow to send some more food supplies.

But now they're saying there's no food left outside...

This is going to kill him! (End of Chapter)
