Through countless dynasties, I can summon the heroes of Chinese history.

After the reorganization was completed, Jiang Ce immediately revealed his true colors and ordered 40,000 troops to march out in five routes, each led by himself, Chen Yun, Chang Yuchun, and Mu Yu respectively.

Since the battle two years ago, all eight counties of Laizhou have fallen into the hands of the Eastern Yi. The remaining five counties began to form strong alliances, and the powerful families and clans seized the opportunity to unite with each other.

I just wanted to be a local tyrant.

Laiyang County has quite a few such forces.

However, after Jiang Ce easily defeated Changyang Army, which was arguably the strongest in Laiyang County, many people were terrified. The Laiyang troops surrendered without resistance as they marched on.

Whether it was a city occupied by powerful clans colluding with the government, or a stronghold where various peasant armies carved out their own territory, very few dared to close their city gates and fight to the death in the face of the Laiyang army's advance.

However, some of them were stubborn and, relying on the fact that they owned several cities with high walls and thick fortifications, chose to put up a last-ditch resistance.

However, their fate was also tragic.

If they encountered Chen Yun and his men, it would be fine, but if they ran into Chang Yuchun, it would be a truly miserable experience.

One of these cities was occupied by some mountain bandits.

The leader was a Heavenly-level general, and perhaps he was confident in his strength, which is why he dared to lead the army to resist. However, the result was that Chang Yuchun personally led the charge and broke through the city, killing him amidst the thousands of troops.

After successfully killing the leader of the army, Chang Yuchun immediately carried out a brutal and ruthless massacre as a warning to others.

[Ding-dong, Chang Yuchun's hidden skill 'Bloodlust' has been activated;]

Bloodbath: The blade is stained with blood, weapons clash; thousands of troops are slaughtered, corpses pile up. This skill is more likely to be successfully awakened by generals with a record of killing surrendered soldiers or massacres. The effect of the skill will vary from person to person.

Effect 1: For each time you kill a prisoner or surrendered enemy (minimum number is 5,000), one of your random attributes will be permanently increased by 1. This effect can be activated a maximum of six times in your lifetime, and a single attribute can be activated a maximum of twice.

Effect 2, Killing Intent: After Effect 1 is activated three times, during battle, it can randomly suppress the opponent's strength by 1 to 3 points; after Effect 1 is activated six times, this suppression effect can be doubled.

Effect 3: Every time Effect 1 is activated twice, Chang Yuchun's own martial prowess will increase by one point when fighting the enemy, up to a maximum of three points.

Effect 4: When Effect 1 is successfully activated three or more times, it can deter the enemy and reduce the enemy's leadership value by one point; when Effect 1 is activated six times, it reduces the enemy's leadership value by two points.

(Note: When you are the main general, this effect will be activated first against the enemy's main general.)

Effect 5, Killing Intent Protection: When all Effect 1 is activated, Chang Yuchun will be protected by killing intent, thus gaining half of the Ten Thousand Laws effect, and becoming immune to half of the opponent's negative skill effects.

(Note: If it is an odd number of negative suppressions, then take the smaller one;)

Unexpectedly, Chang Yuchun unleashed his third skill while conquering these mountain bandits and outlaws.

In a sense, this newly unleashed skill is in no way weaker than his previous two skills, and in some respects, it is even more powerful.

Putting everything else aside, just considering the effect, it's equivalent to increasing one of Chang Yuchun's five attributes twice if he's lucky enough.

If this were applied to his command, it would truly be a complete transformation.

Moreover, once this skill is fully unleashed, Chang Yuchun's maximum combat strength can actually reach a terrifying 126 points.

It can be said that even a god-level general would be no more than this.

Of course, besides these, the most important thing is the last effect: as long as Chang Yuchun successfully refreshes the skill six times, he will be able to obtain the Half-Ten Thousand Magic Protection.

Although this half-ten-thousand method can only immunize a small portion of the negative effects when suppressing single-number negative influences and cannot achieve a large-scale effect, it still cannot obscure the power of this effect.

[Ding dong, Chang Yuchun's skill 'Blood Slaughter' effect 1 has been activated for the first time. His base attack power has been permanently increased by 1. Chang Yuchun's current five-dimensional attributes are: Command 99, Attack Power 104 (+1), Intelligence 82, Politics 73, and Charisma 88.]

Chang Yuchun's permanent promotion this time did not reach the most crucial commander level, which is undoubtedly a pity, but it can still be considered as a boost to his martial prowess, allowing him to instantly step into the peak of the Heavenly level.

Moreover, considering there are still five chances, it's not impossible to raise his commander to the gold level.

After Chang Yuchun used all six of his opportunities, not only did his command ability improve, but his own martial prowess also instantly reached an unprecedented level.

Chang Yuchun's massacre served as a powerful deterrent to the surrounding areas. In any city he led his army to attack, the defending troops no longer dared to resist.

As for the cities where powerful families and officials joined forces to defend, they were quite clever. They knew that the tide had turned and that if they continued to resist, they would only be handing over a handle against them.

After all, they knew their own situation. In recent years, because the imperial court had not taken any action against Laizhou, they had all closed themselves off and amassed countless riches.

If they dared to resist, the Laiyang army would label them as rebels, wipe them out, and exterminate their entire families. Even the wealth and provisions they had accumulated over the years would be instantly used to replenish the army's supplies.

Understanding these reasons is why they dared not lead their troops to resist and instead took out a portion of their money to reward the army.

Thus, with Jiang Ce's five-pronged attack, the Laiyang army swept away all the enemies in front of them.

This ingenious tactic of launching attacks from the center and coordinating with those from within and without resulted in Laiyang County being completely incorporated into Jiang Ce's territory in just over a month, becoming his stable domain.
