Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms

"Zijing, another batch of terracotta warriors have been sent from Luoyang. What does this mean?"

Sun Quan paced back and forth anxiously, but Lu Su seemed unusually calm.

"My lord, don't worry. Since Luoyang has sent it to us, we will just accept it!"

"Zi Jing, how can I not be worried? I have inherited the throne of the King of Wu, but I have no achievements to stand on, and I already have a huge debt. Now Luoyang is constantly supporting me. If this continues, I am afraid that I will be ashamed of my father and lose the foundation of Sun Wu!"

Sun Quan was frowning. Giving and reporting were two completely different things. If he could not show his due value, his position as the King of Wu might be taken away from him one day.

The key point is that even if the empire took back his throne, he would have nothing to say, because he himself did not have the merits to support the throne. If this world was not likely to face a second attack from the Qing court at any time, I am afraid that he should be deposed from the position of King of Wu and replaced by someone else.

There is no rule in Xinghan that the throne is hereditary. Since it can be conferred, it can naturally be abolished.

"My lord, don't worry. The empire still needs you right now. Besides, don't forget that the Sun Wu foundation still has the eldest son outside!" Lu Su pointed out the key point with a smile. Sun Quan was silent for a moment, but he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

He almost forgot that he had an older brother, and he alone could not support the throne, but with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, he could still hold the position of King of Wu.

"As long as you pay taxes on time, the position of King Wu will not change."

"My lord, instead of worrying about the future, it is better to focus on what is happening right now!" Lu Su said as he saw Sun Quan relax and pointed to the map in front of him.

"The westward advance and the northern expedition are both going quite smoothly. Our men have also taken over the territory and are integrating and laying out the territory in accordance with the current policies. Are there any other problems?" Sun Quan asked with a little confusion, looking at the map.

Because of the presence of Zhang Liao and others stationed there, the security of their own territory was fully guaranteed, so Sun Quan simply let go and let generals such as Han Dang and Ling Tong lead the troops to expand the territory. During this period of time, they have expanded the territory of nearly an entire state.

Sun Quan naturally chose to hand over part of these resources to the state and cooperate with the state in development. Xinghan provided money to build the factory, provided management and training personnel, while Sun Quan provided the land and labor, and the profits were divided proportionally.

The most important thing is that it saved Sun Quan a lot of trouble. After all, the labor force is easy to train. He could just capture a group of refugees and put them under military control to work. However, it is difficult to train managers and technical personnel, and Sun Quan does not have that many officials.

On the other hand, he also fulfilled the obligations of the king, providing Xinghan with various resources and increasing production.

For Xinghan, these resources were picked up for free, and in addition to dividends and wages, the factory's profits also included actual resources.

Besides, the part that Sun Quan obtained had to be paid as tax, so no matter how you looked at it, they were making a profit, so of course they would accept any offer.

Without spending a single soldier, he directly occupied resources nearly half the size of a state or county, which in itself is the meaning of enfeoffment.

Sun Quan did a good job with this, but he could not withstand the increasing support from Luoyang, which made him more and more nervous. Today he found Lu Su to discuss countermeasures.

He really didn't realize there was anything wrong with their development.

"My lord, Luoyang gave us so much support, not just to show off!" At this point, Lu Su couldn't help but become serious.

Sun Quan did not see the potential crisis, but he saw it in reality.

"My lord, do you know how much support Luoyang has given us so far?" Lu Su asked seriously.

"If we leave Zhang Liao and his men aside, there should be ten fully staffed legions of small construct terracotta warriors, and twenty large construct terracotta warriors. In addition, there are thirty Spider Towers, twenty Flying Pengs... and a batch of crossbow machines and thirty thousand imperial guards sent from Song King Yue Fei."

The more Sun Quan spoke, the more frightened he became. He realized that, taking into account the number of Zhang Liao and his legions, the number of troops stationed in Luoyang might even completely surpass the value of Sun Wu's foundation itself.

"That's the problem! We have gained a lot from the alliance with Ming, but the risks are also rising. Luoyang will not act without a purpose. The more forces they send, the more severe the challenges we will face!"

When Lu Su said this, he couldn't help feeling a little bitter. As the chief steward of Sun Wu, no one knew the value and power of Sun Wu better than him.

"Once the war starts, the enemy's strength will definitely not be weaker than ours, and may even be stronger than us. In a sense, the Qing court is to the Mongols as we are to the Xinghan!" Lu Su looked even more worried when he said this.

"Even if the Qing court cannot win, they will definitely push this war to a protracted stage, and we will inevitably be affected if we are caught in the middle. Moreover, we cannot escape even if we want to."

"Then don't hide!" Before Sun Quan could answer, a vigorous voice sounded from outside the house, and a sunny and handsome man walked in. It was Sun Ce.

"Brother!" Sun Quan was surprised and happy.

"Zhongmou, you have worked hard!" Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan, whose brows were full of fatigue, and couldn't help but say words of comfort.

"It's just for the foundation of Sun Wu!" Sun Quan sighed, and the gloom between his brows dissipated a little.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the battles in the front anymore. Leave it to Gongjin and me. You stay in the rear to coordinate. We brothers will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties by working together."

"You will have to bear the title of King of Wu in the future. You must not fall here!"

"Brother, the throne of King Wu should have been inherited by you..."

Sun Quan couldn't help but be touched when he heard this. The frankness in Sun Ce's words was full of true feelings, without a trace of falsehood.

"Don't say anything more. I am not interested in this. Besides, I have already divided my family, and it is not my turn to inherit the throne of King Wu. Don't belittle yourself. No one is more suitable for the throne of King Wu than you!"

With just a few words, Sun Ce dispelled all the haze in Sun Quan's heart.

"Brother!" Sun Quan could not help but hugged Sun Ce and cried bitterly. From the time when Sun Jian fell to now, he was just a teenager, and it was already his limit to hold on until now.

"Take me to my father's grave!" Sun Ce's eyes were also wet, but he still appeared calm.

"Gongjin, I leave this place to you and Zijing!" After Sun Ce and Sun Quan left, the atmosphere in the hall became more relaxed.

"Zi Jing, it's not easy to be in a position second only to one man and above ten thousand people!" Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Lu Su at this moment was almost exactly the same as he was when he worked hard for the navy before.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Gongjin!" Lu Su couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face. He was very confident in military strategy, but command and dispatch was one of his weaknesses.

Although Zhang Liao was there, he was after all the commander sent by Xinghan to resist the enemy. He was not a man of Sun Wu and had his own things to do.

Since Sun Ce said that he did not want the throne of King of Wu, Zhou Yu would certainly not go against Sun Ce's wishes. With the arrival of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Sun Wu could be said to have completely made up for its shortcomings.

"I will take care of the outside, you take care of the inside, and great things will be accomplished!"

Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at each other and laughed immediately. As long as there was no conflict of interest, counselors could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.

"Please tell me the current problems in detail, Zijing!" Zhou Yu directly asked Lu Su about the current problems faced by the Sun Wu forces.

"We lack elite soldiers!" Lu Su sighed and said bluntly.

"How many double-talented soldiers are there now?" Zhou Yu asked after a pause.

"Less than 70,000, and among them are even Qing soldiers captured during the last war."

The corner of Zhou Yu's mouth twitched. He knew it would be troublesome before he came, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome. Looking at the vast territory of Sun Wu, it turned out that it was actually a castle in the air?

As long as the reinforcements from Xinghan were withdrawn, Sun Wu might not even be able to maintain its own territory, let alone continue to expand outward.

"How many reserve soldiers are there!" Zhou Yu rubbed his brows. It was a big challenge right from the start.

"I can only mobilize 300,000 people for now, and 100,000 of them are soldiers stationed in the fields!" After Lu Su finished speaking, Zhou Yu's headache hurt even more.

"We can only go to Danyang! Are there enough resources?"

"It should be fine!" Lu Su said after thinking for a while.

"I also had thoughts about Danyang before, but the Extreme Danyang was taken to war by Yu Jin. The other Danyang legions may not be stronger than ours!"

Zhou Yu sighed. In this situation, if he wanted to achieve quick success, he could only use the elite troops from Danyang to work together to improve organizational capabilities and quickly improve the organization and coordination of the troops, thereby ascending to dual talents.

However, the soldiers promoted by this method are basically fat and bloated. Once they encounter a truly high-pressure environment, they will be instantly beaten back to their original form.

Moreover, even if the significance of the Danyang soldiers is not in war, even if they are not in a high-pressure environment and can perform normally, they may still be weaker than other double-talented soldiers.

Fortunately, the Danyang troops can be used at close range or at long range, and their cooperation can make up for some of the shortcomings of the insufficient quality of individual soldiers.

It shouldn't be a problem to train a group of soldiers to gain battlefield experience in the upcoming war and leave a group of real dual-talent elites for the future.

However, in this cross-world empire war that goes beyond the level of empire war, dual talents are still not enough.

"Among all the current officers, whose army is the most capable?" Zhou Yu asked after pondering for a moment. The Imperial Guards are the ticket to this kind of war.

Although Sun Ce brought the Jiefan Army back to Sun Wu this time, it was considered an official business, so it was impossible to use the Jiefan Army's military spirit to train Sun Wu's troops. Therefore, if he wanted to train the Royal Guards, he could only select them from the local legions.

"I'm afraid that only General Huang Gai's headquarters has this possibility. In the previous battle, General Huang Gai fought bravely and desperately, and some changes have occurred in his army. Now they should be only one step away from the Imperial Guards."

"What a trouble!" Zhou Yu frowned.

The problems faced by the three families of Cao, Sun and Liu are basically the same. They all lack sufficient high-end combat power and do not have sufficient reserve troops. However, there is no way around it. The time left for them to develop is really too short.

If I had another five years, I would definitely not feel so powerless.

"If we lack sufficient combat power, how about mercenaries? We can use our resources to exchange a batch of terracotta warriors from Luoyang, which will belong to Sun Wu!"

"The Terracotta Warriors are already a big consumer of resources. Even if we empty the Sun Wu family's assets now, it will probably be a drop in the bucket."

Zhou Yu directly rejected Lu Su's proposal. This alternative method of replacing human soldiers was something that only a great empire could afford.

With their productivity, they are not worthy of being a resource-consuming giant like the Terracotta Warriors. In the early stages of their struggle, the most realistic way is to fill the gap with human lives.

"Maybe we'll have to send in the elite soldiers!" Zhou Yu's words surprised Lu Su.

"Gongjin, you haven't seen the battlefield overview. I'm afraid that a legion like the Ruishi will not survive on the battlefield."

Lu Su had clearly witnessed the battle between Zhang Liao and Aobai. If a fragile army was thrown in, it would be dead and would suffer a fatal blow in the first moment.

"There is no other way. The Sharp Warriors are the simplest legion that requires the least time to train. Their lethality is even comparable to that of a legion with three talents. If used properly, they will be a trump card in our hands!"

Zhou Yu said helplessly that they had no other choice but to fight with their lives.

The orthodox path is indeed stable, but it also takes the most time. Moreover, they do not have strategic materials such as muscle-building pills and qi-nourishing pills. If they want to increase their combat effectiveness, they can only take unconventional approaches.

The Sharp Knights are obviously a good legion. If used well, they can not only break up the battle lines, but also greatly increase the kill ratio. If they are lucky, they may be able to achieve a one-for-one exchange with the Imperial Guards or even the three-talented soldiers.

From the perspective of commanding a large army, using elite soldiers to exchange for troops is undoubtedly quite cost-effective.

"Don't worry, I will only train two Sharp Warriors at most. I don't care about the interests involved!"

"It better be so!"

Lu Su was a little worried. After all, Zhou Yu had a history of not taking human lives seriously and even killing his own teammates.

"I will find a way to get the elite troops. Any other problems?" Zhou Yu chose to change the subject. There was nothing that could be done about what happened back then.

"There are still many problems, but the most urgent one is the issue of training soldiers. Apart from that, I have ways to solve them. The two Zhangs are very capable, and having them around saves me a lot of trouble."

"By the way, help me gather the musicians of the Dijiang Legion. They will be needed during training. I also have a music score that they need to familiarize themselves with. It should be useful on the battlefield in the future!" Zhou Yu said to Lu Su.

Lu Su was not surprised. If the song was wrong, Zhou Yu would take it as a sign. Zhou Yu's attainments in music were naturally impeccable. Even if he went to the Dijiang Legion, he could at least be the second in command. However, Zhou Yu's ambition was not music.

Of course, the fact that Zhou Yu was not interested in this did not mean that he would not study the secret art of music. After all, Dijiang had assisted the Military Soul Corps and had already proved the effect of music with practical actions. Naturally, he would not neglect it. He also created a set of music based on his own spiritual secret art that could reduce the enemy's SAN value.
