Chapter 906 Mutations Occur in Wormholes
"Be careful, Your Majesty, there may be danger in the wormhole." Dian Wei said.

"no need to worry."

Xu Ding smiled, walked outside the wormhole, and opened the wormhole himself.

crunch
The iron plate blocking the wormhole was removed little by little.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing out from inside.

Xu Ding took a step back and looked into the wormhole.

I saw the vortex inside, turning in the opposite direction, accompanied by purple lightning in the vortex, cloudy clouds, thunder rolling, like a cannon bombardment.

"How is this going?"

Xu Ding felt strange.

When I was in Wujun last time, the vortex in the wormhole I saw rotated from left to right, but the wormhole I saw this time rotated from right to left.

Moreover, there are thunder and lightning inside.

What happened to the wormhole?
How did it change?

Xu Ding wanted to take a closer look, but Dian Wei stopped Xu Ding: "Your Majesty, there is lightning inside, be careful."

"Purple lightning, have you ever seen it?"

"No, no..." Everyone shook their heads.

They were all surprised by this abnormality.

When the lightning strikes, there is still some fear.

"With so much lightning, it is impossible for the Western Shang Empire to pass through. Could it be that the wormhole has been destroyed? Western Shang Empire, it is impossible to invade again?"

Thinking of this, Xu Ding was very happy.

He didn't want to fight the Western Shang Empire, because it was too hard and too dangerous.

As long as the Western Merchant Empire does not come to China, China will be number one, and it will not be difficult to dominate the world.

But
Xu Ding always felt that it was not that simple.

How could a good wormhole be destroyed?

"Your Majesty, can we try to see how powerful these lightning bolts are?" Lu Su asked beside him.

"How to try?"

"Throw in an animal and you'll see."

"Ah."

Xu Ding said: "Immediately prepare an animal and throw it into the wormhole."

"Yes." Lu Su asked others to do it.

After a while.
A troop of soldiers was herding a herd of goats.

Under Lu Su's signal, one was thrown into the wormhole.

"Meow..." the goat cried out and entered the wormhole.His body was struck by lightning, but strangely, it didn't hurt him, and the goat got smaller and smaller and eventually disappeared.

Huh?
Xu Ding couldn't help being surprised.

Could it be that these lightnings have no attack power?
"Did it disappear? Or was it struck by lightning?" Lu Su didn't even see clearly.

"Throw in another..."

The soldiers prepared seven goats and threw them into the wormhole one after another.

This time everyone can see clearly that the goat was not struck by lightning, but the vortex in the wormhole swallowed the goat.The lightning strikes on it did not cause any damage.

"I understand.."

Xu Ding ordered people to seal the wormhole, and led Wenwu back to the camp behind.

Jia Xu asked: "Your Majesty, did you explain clearly just now?"

Xu Ding said with a smile: "I guess something has changed in this wormhole. Before the Western Shang Empire passed through there, the wormhole rotated forward. Now it rotates in the opposite direction."

How clever Jia Xu is, he can see through everything, and before Xu Ding finished speaking, he said first: "Your Majesty means that the Western Shang Empire can no longer pass. But we can reach the Western Shang Empire through the wormhole." ?”

"Hahaha."

Xu Ding laughed a few times and said, "That's right!"

"When the wormhole rotates forward, it should be what we see now. When it rotates in the opposite direction, there is no lightning. That's what we saw before..."

"God help me too!"

Xu Dingchang sighed: "God is still fair. The opportunity given to the Western Merchants Empire also gave us the opportunity to cross. They couldn't conquer China. Now it's our turn."

It's our turn?

Could it be that Xu Ding still wanted to conquer the Western Merchant Empire?
This is incredible.

"Your Majesty, with the strength of our army, we can't invade the Western Shang Empire, right? You should know that the enemies we fought with before were not their elites. The real elites have not come. If we invade on a large scale, the enemies we encounter The enemies we have arrived are not comparable to the previous army." Lu Su said.

"Why don't I know this?" Xu Ding said, "You don't have to worry. I have no intention of invading the Western Shang Empire for the time being. Because we really don't have the ability to attack. At least when Cao Cao's troops are incorporated, it's not too late to go."

The mutation of the wormhole allowed Xu Ding to take the initiative on the battlefield.

Whether it is advancing or retreating, it can occupy a certain advantage.

I rested in the wormhole in Wujun for a few days.

Xu Ding was bored in his spare time, thinking about the Western Shang Empire.

It suddenly occurred to him that the wormhole rotated in the opposite direction, traveling from China to the Western Shang Empire.Then, can people who travel through the past travel back again?According to the mechanism of the wormhole, it seems impossible.Since this is the case, how did the defenders of Wu County pass that document back to the Western Shang Empire?
Or, did the Western Merchant Empire not receive that document?He fought with us before, and never knew anything about the War of Xia.Just sending troops to Xia regularly?
Thinking of this, Xu Ding felt a chill behind him.

"You must not travel through the past easily, otherwise the past will be easy, but it will be difficult to come back. Unless the wormhole changes the direction of rotation every two years."

This possibility is not impossible.

If Xia's resources are scarce, Xu Ding will consider using two years to conquer the Western Shang Empire.However, before this, you must not move this idea.

this day.

Xu Ding recruited Lu Su, Jia Xu, and other generals.

Everyone sat down.

Xu Ding said: "The purpose of my coming to Wu County is to lure the Western Shang Empire, transport 20 firearms to Wu County, and then snatch them. But unexpectedly, something happened in the wormhole. Now only we can travel through the past , but the enemy cannot pass through. This also means that we have to give up this operation.”

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, I imagine that the wormhole appeared two years ago. Now there is a change. Does this mean that the wormhole will change the direction of rotation every two years? Two years later, the Western Shang Empire will come again?"

Xu Ding said: "Your conjecture is not unreasonable."

"So, we have to make all preparations before that. Even if we can't invade the Western Shang Empire, we can't be invaded by the Western Shang Empire. Don't you think so?"

"Your Majesty is wise..." everyone said.

"Wenhe."

"exist."

Jia Xu got up.

Xu Ding asked: "Should we go back to Xuchang?"

"Yes." Jia Xu said: "We only have two years. Within two years, Liangzhou and Yizhou must be pacified, and Cao Cao's troops must be recruited to form the third and fourth armies. Otherwise, wait for the Western Shang Empire to come next time." When it is time, it is definitely impossible to defend.”

"Ah."

Xu Ding said: "Let's send an order to the teacher. We will return to Xuchang tomorrow."

"Wait a minute." Lu Su stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think that we should take this opportunity to eliminate Cao Cao. We can't take it easy. Cao Cao thought that His Majesty led the army and came to Jiangdong. Yizhou will be fine. We just need to Take General Gan’s warship, go up the river, take the two mouths of the Chuan Gorge, and attack Fucheng, an important town in the east of Yizhou, to open the gate of Yizhou. This does not seem to be difficult to do.”

"If the squadron returns to Xuchang, and then sends troops from Xuchang to attack Hanzhong, it will take a long time. When will Sichuan and Shu be won. It will also lose the opportunity to surprise Cao Cao."

Lu Su's remonstrance is not without reason.

When troops were dispatched from Xuchang a few days ago, the common people thought that the Western Shang Empire had invaded again.

Cao Cao must have thought the same way, so Yizhou must be fine.

If you attack by water, you will surely win.

"Where is Gan Ning now?" Xu Ding asked.

Lu Su replied: "Your Majesty, General Gan Ning is now stationed in Guangling. It is less than two days away from Jianye."

"Okay, send an order immediately to ask him to prepare [-] warships and [-] warships, and go to the Yangtze River outside Jianye City to stand by. We will rush there immediately, and then take a boat to go straight to Fucheng." Xu Ding said.

"promise."

Xu Ding still handed over the defense of Wujun and Jianye to Lu Su.

The rest of the generals from Xuchang all followed Xu Ding to Jianye.

a few days later.

Gan Ning led the navy to come and dock by the Yangtze River.

Xu Ding told him the general situation.

Gan Ning was very excited, and said: "My lord, when we fought the enemy in Jingzhou last time, the last general had already captured the two mouths of the Chuan Gorge, where my two battalions of soldiers were guarding. As long as your majesty gives orders, the last general will let them take it immediately." The important town of Fucheng welcomes His Majesty."

"Is Fucheng not heavily guarded?" Xu Ding asked.

"According to the investigation sent by the last general, although there are [-] defenders in Fucheng, they are not the elite of Cao's army, and the general Xia Houmao who leads the army is really a rich man. As long as our army appears in Fucheng, he will be difficult to resist. .”

In fact.
Gan Ning had long wanted to attack Fucheng, but because Xu Ding didn't have the will, he couldn't do it himself.

Now Xu Ding personally ordered to attack Sichuan and Shu, and Gan Ning should be the vanguard of the attack.

He stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please let the last general attack Fucheng."

"Okay, I allow you to go. However, you are only allowed to win, not to lose. Because this is the first battle we invaded Bashu, I don't want to see defeat. Can you do it?"

"If the last general can't do it, I'd like to come and see you!"

In Gan Ning's eyes, is it difficult to obtain the small city of Fu?
What is Cao Cao's army compared to his navy and the new army formed by Huaxia?
Not to mention that he has an army, even a battalion, he has confidence.

With Xu Ding's consent, Gan Ning prepared a regiment of troops, all equipped with rifles and grenades.Because he was going to carry the first and second armies to Sichuan and Shu, his navy could not go more.

Seven hundred warships and one hundred fighting ships can only carry about three divisions.

These three divisions are the main force to conquer Yizhou, and there must be no shortage.

But the two mouths of Chuanxia are already in the hands of Gan Ning, so the navy is useless.Gan Ning brought a regiment with him only because he wanted to attack Fucheng.

Everything is ready.
Xu Ding took the main force of the three divisions together with Jia Xu and Gan Ning and went up the river to Sichuan and Sichuan.

It's been a long road.

You need to cross Jingzhou and bypass Fancheng to reach Chuanxia.

After that, the soldiers came to Fucheng.

Along the way, Xu Ding stayed in the boat.

Playing chess with Jia Xu every day, talking about the past and present, and the future of China, is also fun.

During the chat, Xu Ding expressed his inner thoughts.

For China to grow stronger, both economic and military construction are indispensable.

Especially the military needs to be further strengthened.

Because in two years, the Western Shang Empire may make a comeback, and it is impossible to resist the Western Shang Empire without building a good military.

And economic construction will directly affect the military, and it cannot be neglected.

Xu Ding predicted that after the elimination of Cao Cao and the acquisition of Sichuan, Shu and Liangzhou, the economies of various regions would be reshuffled.Create new rules and markets.

Help the poor people and realize the prosperity of the whole people.

Only in this way can the country be strong and prosperous, and it will have a chance of winning the war with the Western Shang Empire.

But to help poor people, preferential policies must be given.Such as tax reduction and exemption, distribution of high-quality grain seeds, establishment of banks, allowing loans and other businesses.

In this way, the common people have the capital to do things that strengthen their own economy.

Ten days later, the army arrived at Chuanxiakou.

Xu Ding stepped out of the cabin to look around, and he really saw Gan Ning's navy stationed here.

In terms of scale, there are about two battalions of troops, nearly a thousand people.They are all equipped with the latest weapons, with certain artillery and ammunition.

Although the number is small, it is enough to win against Cao Cao's generals, especially the navy.

Gan Ning ordered the fleet to dock, and the whole army landed.

He wanted to take Fucheng wholeheartedly, but without getting off the boat, he said to Xu Ding: "Your Majesty, you can rest here for two days, and the last general will lead his army to Fucheng. Within two days, there will be a success report. After that, Your Majesty will lead the army to go. "

"General Lao is here."

Xu Ding nodded.

Gan Ning led his army and left.

at this time.

In Mianzhu Pass in the middle of Yizhou, Cao Cao arrived.

As early as a month ago, he set off from Longxi, passed through Ji County, Xiabian, Yinping, and crossed the Qinling Mountains before arriving in Hanzhong.After passing several checkpoints, it can be said that it has gone through hardships before returning to Sichuan and Shu.

An army of 10,000+ defeated Chang'an. If Sima Yi hadn't persuaded him, Cao Cao's mentality would have collapsed.

Now he has returned to Sichuan and Shu, ready to fight again with the whole army.

Sima Yi also assisted with all his heart, suggesting that Cao Cao should conscript again and train a new type of army.

but
Just when Cao Cao was about to do this, a very bad news came, which scared Cao Cao almost to fall.

What news?

Xu Ding is here!

Tens of thousands of troops entered from the two mouths of the Chuan Gorge and were besieging Fucheng. Xia Houmao, the guard of Fucheng, sent a letter to beg for help.

"Fucheng is in a hurry, generals, who wants to lead the army to relieve the siege of Fucheng?" Cao Cao raised his eyes and asked the generals in the hall after reading Xia Houmao's letter asking for help.

"This."

All the generals are you looking at me, I looking at you, dare not make a sound.

If it was before, they would rush to go.

Because Cao Jun is elite and very powerful, no matter who he fights, he has a great chance of winning.But now, after the defeat in Chang'an, Cao Cao has only a few elites under his command. How can a mere local army stop Xu Ding's tiger and wolf army?
If you accept this task, it will be no different from seeking death.

All the generals are not stupid, and they will not fight for it.

"It seems that after experiencing the defeat in Chang'an, you are not willing to go to the front line. Well, let me go to the front line to fight against Xu Ding. I will definitely fight with my life this time. Let's just watch from the sidelines in Mianzhu." Cao Cao was very angry.At this moment of life and death, how sad is it that there is no general to lead the army?
