Chapter 249

"Lord, there is a situation ahead."

"There is a smell of blood!"

After leaving Hefei city, Su Fan and his party continued north. This time he left the Donghai Territory, firstly to come to Hefei to observe Sun Jian's strength.

Observing with his own eyes, Sun Jian's strength indeed could not be underestimated. His troops were not many, only five hundred thousand, but the proportion of elites was quite high.

Especially after experiencing this great battle, although there was a loss of nearly one hundred thousand, the remaining original new recruits also gradually became stronger, so if you really want to say it, Sun Jian's strength did not decrease much.

Taking Hefei city, at least he collected partial supplies. Grain and grass were lacking, but weapons and equipment increased, which could increase the number of elites.

It was just that the gap with the Donghai Territory was still a bit large. The Donghai Territory now had five hundred thousand regular troops. This number did not look like much.

But these five hundred thousand were comparable to elite soldiers, which was different. Coupled with the advantage of equipment, they could be compared to the battle-hardened veterans of the border troops.

In terms of the number of elite troops alone, the Donghai Territory was absolutely in the first rank, even the Luoyang city at this time could not compare to him.

Luoyang city, after Dong Zhuo died, the whole Luoyang fell into a situation of fighting for power. The Xiliang army, the Bingzhou army, and the Imperial Guard became the means for these people to seize power.

Constant fighting.

Because of this era of manifestation, the generals of Xiliang obviously could not bully the ministers in the court as in history.

The hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops, except for Niu Fu and Dong Min who took half of the troops back to Liangzhou, the remaining one or two hundred thousand troops became those under the ministers.

In terms of politics, where were these generals of Xiliang the opponents of these ministers? They were just offered some benefits and were fooled until they could not find north.

Even Lv Bu was like this. He seemed to be named Marquis of Wen and General Anbei, but in reality, he became a thug for the Yang family.

Of course, relying on that terrifying strength, Lv Bu still had great autonomy, and in this world, the status of martial artists, especially the strong, would not be discriminated against by too many people.

At least the major clans would not discriminate too much against Lv Bu's background.

This could be seen from the fact that in order to gain Lv Bu's support, the Yang family directly used the Yang family's influence to give Lv Bu the position of General Anbei.

In history, Wang Yun just gave Lv Bu a miscellaneous general position, General Fenwei, which could not be compared with General Anbei.

This General Anbei was only below the four An-level generals, a high-ranking military officer in the army. The reason for this was precisely Lv Bu's combat power that dominated the world.

Even if Lv Bu wanted to become an independent warlord in the future, as long as he had territory, there would definitely be people willing to defect to him, whether civil or martial.

Because the combat power of someone like Lv Bu in this world could indeed change the direction of many wars, which was different from history.

And the Hongnong Yang clan, having this foreign aid, became the greatest force in Luoyang city, which even the Yuan clan could not compare to.

Coupled with the fact that when Dong Zhuo was there, the blow to the Yuan clan was not small, the power of the court was gradually controlled by the Yang family.

Originally in the central court, the power of the Yang family was stronger than that of the Yuan clan. The Yuan clan and the Yang family, as the top clans in the world, had always been evenly matched.

It was just that chaotic times had come, and the choices of both sides were different.

In the historical plane, the Yuan clan chose to fight for the world. The Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers participated in the struggle. If they won, they might go further, but it was a pity they failed.

It was impossible for the Yuan family to be exterminated, but in history, after the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, although the Yuan clan was still among the clans, it was also the last rank.

And the Yang family still had a portion of power.

The Yang family did not choose to fight for the world, so they preserved their strength. Even if they could not have the influence they had in the Han Dynasty, at least they were much better than the Yuan clan.

In this world, the Yuan family and the Yang family were like history. The Yuan clan chose to fight for the world, while the Yang family did not choose, but always synchronized with the Divine Han in the center.

Now the mutiny in Luoyang, the Yang family got the greatest benefit, pulling in Lv Bu and the Bingzhou army, and getting the support of part of the Imperial Guard. It could be said that the Yang family became the second Dong Zhuo.

Of course, as a top clan, the Yang family naturally would not receive the treatment of Dong Zhuo. At least the Yang family was controlling Luoyang, and the major clans would not boycott the Yang family. Of course, the fighting for power between each other would still exist.

But the Yang family would not be like Dong Zhuo, who would directly carry out bloody suppression of any family. After all, the Yang family was a clan and naturally understood the bottom line of the clans.

However, the Yang family controlled Luoyang, which was different from Dong Zhuo, and Luoyang soon recovered.

With Luoyang's foundation, it was not impossible for Liu to revitalize again. It was not that there were no clans loyal to the Divine Han. They guarded the Divine Han also to guard their own family's interests.

The Yang family was an obvious example. If the world were to be taken by others, then their Yang family could still become the top clan in the world—that was absolutely impossible.

Especially if the Yuan clan were to win the world, the Yang family would definitely become a thorn in their side.

The changes in Luoyang city were transmitted back to the Donghai Territory by the Dark Owls at the first opportunity, and the Donghai Territory also had a very clear understanding of the changes in Luoyang.

However, no matter how Luoyang changed, the impact on Su Fan was actually not very great. The real impact was on the Central Plains and the north.

Especially the Yuan clan, they were inevitably unwilling to see Liu revitalize again. Once the Divine Han revitalized, the consequences for the Yuan clan went without saying.

So the Yuan brothers were the most anxious. Yuan Shao in the north had already integrated the power of Jizhou and sent troops to Youzhou.

Relying on the Yuan clan's foundation and Jizhou's abundant wealth, Yuan Shao pulled up an army of millions in less than a year.

The great battle in the north was even more intense than the great battle in the south.

Su Fan left the Donghai Territory, from south to north, and also wanted to see the geography of the Divine Han world. He also had a certain understanding of the strength of the major warlords of the Divine Han.

Sun Jian and Yuan Shu's army did not have too strong fierce generals, and the strongest strength was only a fierce general at the sixth level of Gang Refining and a literati at the seventh level of Soul Refining.

Of course, there were definitely stronger Soul Refining sorcerers under Yuan Shu, but he was not afraid. With two god-level bodyguards, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, in the future, once they went to the battlefield, these two would also be peerless fierce generals.

There was no need for them to command battles; they just needed to act as vanguard fierce generals charging into the formation.

Besides this, fierce generals like Taishi Ci and Chen Dao were only a tiny bit worse than Xu Chu and Dian Wei.

In the future, they would absolutely not be worse than these people.

It could be said that in terms of fierce generals, Su Fan was absolutely the number one in the world.
