Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2259 Changping Receives a Second Son, Xiaoliyu and the Three Families Divide the spoils.

The situation of Guo Longcheng of Great Wei can be described as follows: although the data on paper is stronger than that of Yang Jian, it does not mean that he can perform to the full potential of that data.

If the actual strength could be determined by the numbers on paper, then the ancient Song Dynasty on Earth wouldn't have suffered such a miserable fate in foreign wars!
Especially for ancient dynasties like Song, Western Xia, Sui, and Goguryeo, even if the data on paper is high, it is only useful if it can be put into practice.

Ironically, the Great Wei Dynasty, which desperately needed a ruthless ruler to reform the court, had yet to produce such a figure within its royal family.

Guo Longcheng was a good general, but he ended up in a position he shouldn't have been in.

Therefore, the good hand that was painstakingly built up at the beginning has been played out like this.

"Ding, the second balanced player, Tuoba Hong, with Command 94, Martial Prowess 91, Intelligence 91, Politics 101, and Charisma 90."

Implanted identity: Son of Tuoba Changping, a member of the Northern Di tribe.

Accompanying: Yuan Xie, Yuan Cheng, Li Chong, Li Anshi, Li Biao, Mu Liang, Wang Su, Gao Lü, and Song Bian.

After Tuoba Tao, Tuoba Changping has gained another good son.

Compared to the previous emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Hong may not have achieved as much in military prowess as his predecessors, but in terms of civil administration, he was undoubtedly the number one emperor of the Northern Wei.

The Northern Wei dynasty was not so bad because its founder, Tuoba Gui, was incompetent, but because his descendants were too capable.

In terms of military prowess, he was overshadowed by Tuoba Tao, the third emperor, while in terms of civil administration, he was overshadowed by Tuoba Hong, the emperor who promoted Sinicization reforms.

The two most powerful rulers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, one a civil official and the other a military leader, were both planted as his sons, making Tuoba Changping a very lucky man.

The fact that Tuoba Changping had successors one after another made Wang Yu increasingly worried about the north.

Indeed, Tuoba Hong's appearance will not have an immediate and direct impact on the Northern Di, nor will it affect the outcome of the current battle.

After all, the influence of civil administration is not as immediate as that of military prowess; it takes time to develop. Moreover, this process takes at least a year.

However, the ultimate impact will be directly based on the national strength of the entire country.

Ultimately, the struggle between the two forces comes down to the strength of their respective nations.

As long as it doesn't turn into a chaotic court like the Great Wei Dynasty, which dragged down its own dynasty, or a situation like the Song Dynasty in Blue Star's history, where civil officials controlled the military, which also dragged down the army.

Under normal circumstances, in a confrontation between two powers, the one with stronger national strength has the advantage.

"Ding, the third balancer, Liu Zheng, Command 97, Strength 105, Intelligence 80, Politics 62, Charisma 85."

Implanted identity: Member of the Yushi clan, has always been on good terms with Liu Yu, the most valiant of the princes, and is currently following Liu Bang, Liu Bei and Liu Yu in their campaign against the Great Chu.

Accompanying: Shi Bi, Zhang Rongshi, Zhu Guobao, Xie Cheng, Li Ting, Zhang Xi, Dong Jun, Dong Wenbing, Zhang Hongfan, Dong Shiyuan, Dong Shixuan.

Liu Bang now has another formidable general under his command.

In recent years, Liu Bang's development has been smooth sailing. First, Liu Bei conquered a large amount of land in Wu.

Then, when Liu Bang was about to be overwhelmed at the front, Liu Bei promptly led his troops to his aid.

In addition, before this, the Great Xiao launched a southern expedition, and not long after, the Great Li in the south also launched a northern expedition.

With the combined efforts of the three families, in just two years, the Great Chu had been ravaged beyond recognition, with land in various directions forcibly torn away by the three families.

Now, more than half of the land has been divided up by the Xiao, Yu, and Li families.

After all, although the Great Chu had Wang Mufeng, he was too busy to deal with the Xiao, Li, and Yu families simultaneously. In particular, although there were three families on the surface, there was also Xiang Yu, who had re-established his power.

Therefore, the division of Chu into three kingdoms can actually be called the division into four kingdoms, except that Xiang Yu's share of the spoils was significantly less than that of the other three kingdoms.

As the top general of the Great Chu, Wang Mufeng has indeed perfected the art of defense. For the past two years, he has been constantly putting out fires on three fronts.

Wherever he went, he would force the enemy's advance to a standstill, even when facing Da Xiao, Ren Pingsheng was no exception.

After all, such extreme defensive generals, like Meng Gong under Wang Yu, may not be satisfactory in other aspects, but they are extremely strong in defense.

If he is determined to defend it, even Ren Pingsheng won't be able to do much against him.

However, if he stays in one direction for too long, problems will inevitably arise in the other two directions.

After all, whether it was Ren Pingsheng of Daxiao, Chiyou of Dali, or Liu Bang, Liu Bei, and Liu Yu, the three fathers and sons of Dayu, none of them could be confronted for a long time by other generals of Da Chu except Wang Mufeng.

Furthermore, over the years, the Great Chu has lost too many capable generals, such as Yun Yizhi and Lang Mie, who have all died on the battlefield.

In contrast, the Dali Kingdom had a number of powerful generals, including Chi You, Manji, Karashok, and Man Xiaoman, who all participated in this battle.

On the Da Yu side, Luo Xing, Xue Mingyang, Huang Jinbao, Bai Yinbao, Xue Lin, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Yi are not much worse than those on the Da Li side.

In particular, Luo Xing, the son of the former Grand General Luo Chen of the Great Wu, rose to fame in one battle. At just over twenty years old, he displayed strength that even veteran generals could hardly match upon his first appearance.

In the original historical trajectory, he and his cousin Luo Tian were the two most outstanding martial arts geniuses in the Great Wu region, each of them being a peerless hero of their time.

However, he could only compare with Luo Tian in martial arts; in other aspects, he was far inferior.

Moreover, although the two were cousins, they ultimately became strangers, both in the original historical trajectory and in this life.

On the Da Xiao side, Ye Shangjue alone was enough to defeat the remaining Divine General level experts of Da Chu. In addition to Ye Shangjue, there were also a group of experts such as Di Jiang, Ximen Zun, Yuan Tianjue, Xiao Tiance, Long Xiang, Niu Kui, and Su Changqian participating in the battle.

As for Xiang Yu, apart from himself, there were no other skilled warriors left.

However, he alone is enough. Like Ye Shangjue, he can also defeat all the remaining god-level generals of the Great Chu by himself.

With the combined efforts of the four parties, over a period of more than two years, they gradually eroded the Great Chu state.

On Earth, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are naturally mortal enemies, needless to say. In the later stages of their lives, they became mortal enemies.

However, in this alternate world of apocalypse, Liu Bang took great care of him.

It was precisely because of Liu Bang's support that Xiang Yu was able to sit on the dinner table and carve out a piece of flesh from the Chu state.

After all, as these families continued to divide up the land of the Great Chu, they began to border each other.

Chi You's Dali, Liu Bang's Dayu, and Di Zhiling's Daxiao had already begun to border each other, which is why Liu Bang supported Xiang Yu so much at this time.

Essentially, it was just a tactic Liu Bang used to place Xiang Yu between Dayu and Daxiao, and to prepare for future battles against Daxiao by supporting Xiang Yu.

After all, the Great Chu was strong enough in the past to enable the three of them to join forces against it.

However, with nearly half of the Great Chu already divided up by these few families, and without a common enemy, their conflicts of interest are bound to arise.

"Ding, fourth balancer..."
