Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

"Ding, the sixth person to balance is Meng Zhang Divine Lord Dongfang Qinglong (Ying Qing, courtesy name Meng Zhang), commander 92, force 109, intelligence 86, politics 82, charisma 100.

Implanted identity: Confucian disciple, Dharma protector, clan member of a certain dynasty. Currently, due to age factors, he has not yet reached his peak.

Carrying: The White Tiger Supervisor Shenjun of the West (Baihu, also known as Supervisor), the Southern Vermilion Bird Lingguang Shenjun (Zhu Quan, also known as Lingguang), the Northern Xuanwu Zhiming Shenjun (Xuanwu, also known as Zhuiming), Taotie (Tao Tian), Chaos (Chaos), Qiongqi (Qiongqi), and Tao Wu (Tao Wu). "

If nothing else, this wave is probably the group with the highest average quality in this balance.

This breath can be said to balance the eight divine generals.

Moreover, there are eight high-quality generals.

Among the many times of balance, this is the first time.

Among the four gods, there is no distinction between superior and inferior. They are always equal. If Qinglong has reached this level of strength, one can imagine the level of the other three.

And the four evil ones at the back are inferior to the Four Directions Gods in every aspect. However, he is just not as good as the Sifang God. Among the divine generals, he is probably qualified to grab a place!

Moreover, as expected, whether it is the Four Gods or the Four Evils, there is a high probability that they will have combination skills.

"Huainanzi" Military Strategy Training: "The so-called number of days is the green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the red bird in the front, and the Xuanwu in the back. The so-called favorable geographical location means life in the back and death in the front, male on the left and female on the right."

Lingguang is the Taoist name for Suzaku after personifying the four images. In the pre-Qin Dynasty, it was believed that it could lead the souls of the deceased to ascend to heaven. Later generations believed that it could give people immortality.

The theory of prophecy flourished in the Han Dynasty, and its symbolic meanings included collections, Bingding, and etiquette. After the Han Dynasty, Taoism absorbed it as a protector and called it Lingguang Shenjun.

Volume 7 of "Must-use Collection of Taoist Tongjiao" says: "The Southern Suzaku, the leader of all birds, transformed from the elixir hole, with the sound of blue thunder, the strange colors of five colors, and the six sacred images, come to guide me."

Meng Zhang is the Divine Lord Meng Zhang, a divine monarch in Chinese myths and legends. He is one of the four spirits of the sky. He was later gradually personified and given his title.

"Huainanzi Tianwen Xun": "No one is more noble than the Qinglong among the gods, which may be called Tianyi or Taiyin." According to the "Secrets of the Seven-Yuan Ziyan of the Arctic", the Qinglong's title is "Mengzhang Shenjun".

Zhi Ming is the god Zhi Ming, the god in Chinese mythology and legend, and Xuanwu, one of the four spirits in the sky.

"Chu Ci·Yuanyou" notes: "Xuanwu, the name of the northern god". "Historical Records of Tianguan" says: "Beigong Xuanwu is empty and dangerous."

The white tiger is also the god of war and killing. The white tiger has many magical powers such as avoiding evil, warding off disasters, praying for prosperity and punishing evil, promoting good deeds, making wealth, and getting married.

And it is one of the four spirits, and of course it is also made of stars. Among the twenty-eight constellations, there are seven in the west: Kui, Lou, Wei, Ang, Bi, Xi, and Shen.

Therefore, it is the representative of the West, and its white color is because it is the West. The West belongs to gold among the five elements, and its color is white. So it was called the White Tiger not because it was white, but because it came from the Five Elements. Later, because of its personification, everyone called the White Tiger the Supervising God.

"Ding, the seventh person in balance, Sima Yi, has 98 commander, 54 force, 98 intelligence, 98 politics, and 74 charm.

Implanted identity: A descendant of the Dawu Sima family.

Carrying: Sima Lang, Sima Fu, Sima Kui, Sima Xun, Sima Jin, Sima Tong, Sima Min, Sima Fang, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao. "

When many people discuss Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi's military capabilities, they always talk about how Zhuge Liang led the Chinese team to defeat Sima Yi's Brazilian team and could only defend. This statement basically selectively ignores the issue of the authority levels of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

It's not that Sima Yi's military ability is inferior to Zhuge Liang, but that Sima Yi's authority and influence in the Wei army are inferior to Zhuge Liang.

What is Zhuge Liang's status in Shu? In a word, a dictator. Liu Bei gave Zhuge Liang absolute authority. Coupled with Zhuge Liang's unique prestige in the Shu Kingdom, Zhuge Liang could do everything in the Shu Kingdom and had the highest decision-making power in both political and military matters.

Considering that Liu Bei's defeat at Yiling almost severely damaged the military and political system of Shu, it is no exaggeration to say that the political and military system of Shu after 223 was entirely created by Zhuge Liang alone; and Zhuge Liang was the successor of Qilu's military and political thought. Emphasizing the political significance of military power, he built the new generation of Shu's army with a very nationalistic mindset.

In this regard, the contrast with Soochow is very obvious. Soochow's army has a chronological system, and soldiers are loyal to various military hills, and these troops can be inherited like inheritance. This makes Soochow's army a little stupid when going on foreign expeditions, but it is more powerful when facing foreign invasion.

Although the Shu army created by Zhuge Liang is not yet strong in combat effectiveness, their allegiance is to the country. Of course, in the early stage, it is almost equivalent to being loyal to Zhuge Liang. Once they have been polished by combat experience, they can become an army with orders and prohibitions. of powerful troops.

At this point, the comparison between Shu and Wu is a bit like the comparison between the Communist Army and the National Army during the Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The gap in combat effectiveness has also been proven by history.

Zhuge Liang is the de facto dictator of Shu, so he can implement the creation of such a national army without much resistance. In addition, the Shu Kingdom is relatively small, which facilitates unified management.

At the same time, in actual military command, there was no resistance to Zhuge Liang's command of the Shu army. On the one hand, this is due to Zhuge Liang's outstanding talents, and on the other hand, it is also due to Zhuge Liang's status.

And what about Sima Yi? Regardless of how arrogant Sima Yi was in Wei in his later years, when Zhuge Liang was still alive, his status was estimated to be similar to that of Li Yan of Shu, and even lower than Cao Zhen before 231.

Therefore, first of all, he had no say in the training and mobilization of the Wei army. He had to go wherever Cao Rui asked him to go, and he basically had to do whatever Cao Rui asked him to do.

Not to mention the first head-to-head confrontation between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, the Fourth Northern Expedition in 231. Sima Yi was temporarily transferred to the Western Front to oversee the Guanzhong Army because Cao Zhen fell ill.

Refer to Zhao Kuo for the result of changing coaches before the battle. It would be strange not to be beaten by Zhuge Liang.

The clues can also be seen in the history books. Zhang He had no confidence in Sima Yi's tactical arrangements and always spoke against him; two of his subordinates even pointed directly at Sima Yi's nose and scolded him.

And even if the arrogant Wei Yan in Shu had a problem with Zhuge Liang, he was just mocking Zhuge Liang behind his back for being timid. How dare he look good to Zhuge Liang in person?

This is not the ability gap between Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, but the lack of prestige of the stall that Sima Yi just took over in the northwest.

At the Fifth Expedition, the situation was much better, at least no one dared to scold Sima Yi to his face; but Sima Yi still had no authority to train the Guanzhong army to be comparable to Zhuge Liang's army in such a short period of time, so Sima Yi chose to stay behind closed doors. Exit is the appropriate strategy.

Do you think Sima Yi is willing to be a turtle? With martial arts rising, Sima Yi acted decisively and led 10,000 cavalry to surround and annihilate Meng Yan, who was cut off by the water. Such a good situation was defeated by Zhuge Liang's easy construction of a pontoon bridge and archery.

After all, Zhuge Liang served the entire country for the Northern Expedition. From the system to armaments to military political work, they were established over more than ten years. Sima Yi had only been in Guanzhong for two or three years. It was already good if he could handle the logistics work well. Training The results are not comparable to those of Zhuge Liang.

Overall, Zhuge Liang has enough power to build a powerful and continuously operating war machine, but is limited in the maximum amount of resources he can mobilize.

Sima Yi did not have enough authority to establish his own military system, but he was backed by Wei's strong national power.

Therefore, the final result of the war was that Zhuge Liang had the advantage but was not able to gain military merit, and Sima Yi was at a disadvantage but was able to defend the territory against the enemy. This is also the most reasonable result.

For a national dictator-level figure like Zhuge Liang, the proportion of pure military attributes is already quite low.
