God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Sima Yi finally did not reject Xizhong's suggestions and actions.

After all, from a practical point of view, having more soldiers will make things safer when you visit.

Even though he did not have enough strength himself, he went on a visit and with the help of Vologases V, there was no problem with safety.

But in terms of national reputation, it would be a huge loss of face.

Perhaps other countries do not care about this, but the Han Empire cares very much about this.

From the emperor to the common people, everyone recognized this and took it seriously.

The strength of the empire is enough to support their pride and self-confidence. Four hundred years of accumulation and pressure, and the invincible spirit have built an empire with a strong heart.

This is a reality that even a wise man like Sima Yi did not see as a problem.

"I wonder how many troops Mr. Xi is going to send this time?" In order to further understand the other party's background, Sima Yi asked directly.

Xu Shu was actually very interested in the answer to this question, and he looked at Xi Zhong with the same curious eyes.

"If it's just an ordinary troop, it wouldn't be a problem to gather a hundred thousand or so. But you will definitely look down on it, and it doesn't make much sense. So this time we will send out four legions and gather 20,000 people." Xi Zhong, who was familiar with Chang'an's intelligence information, directly revealed a number that Sima Yi could accept.

A number that Sima Yi could accept, but also made him extremely painful.

In Sima Yi's consideration, his own army plus the army in Chang'an, a total number of more than 50,000 people, was enough.

As for why it is this number, it is because he can achieve the most perfect control and command effect when commanding an army of this size.

In other words, when commanding an army of more than 50,000 people, Sima Yi can activate his spiritual talents while commanding the army and exerting its combat effectiveness.

If the number of people continues to increase, you can continue to command the army, but the bonus effect of commanding the army will be significantly reduced.

If combined with Xu Shu's two-way insight effect, commanding more than 100,000 people would not be a problem, but Xu Shu's insight ability was extended based on his spiritual talent.

Although one can see through things without spiritual talent, there is a huge gap in speed and accuracy.

If Sima Yi wants to maintain this talent-based ability, it means that he cannot activate his own talent.

Once the talent is activated, Xu Shu's talent will naturally be blocked, and there will be no command correction for this part of the flaw.

As a pure commander, he will naturally not put all means and hopes in the hands of others, but will control all factors in his own hands.

Therefore, in Sima Yi's view, instead of relying on Xu Shu's flaws to correct them and command the army, it would be better to rely on his own abilities to actually control and operate.

The former can perfectly command an army of 100,000, and the latter can command more than 50,000, giving the proper command bonus to every soldier.

"Four legions? I wonder how much loss you can accept, sir?" Although his liver ached, he was still quite happy in his heart. However, this behavior had a bottom line after all, so Sima Yi naturally had to ask.

"After all, it's to train the army. If it can succeed, it's enough to have a seed..." Xi Zhong said calmly the casualties that Cao Cao's forces could accept. And this casualty cost made even Xu Shu, who pretended to be non-existent, change his expression and waver.

The cost of casualties that can be tolerated is so huge, so the target that the other party is eyeing will naturally not be simple.

This made Sima Yi hesitate. The other party had clearly put forward such a generous bottom line, and it seemed that he was giving it a free hand, but he had no idea what goal the other party was pursuing.

Ordinary elite troops are okay. Even if they don’t know how to train, they can be directly thrown into the battlefield to fight. The ones who survive will definitely be the elites.

But it’s different for the top elites. The intensity of the war and the training of willpower that they experience are not something they can decide at all.

"Although I am very conceited and believe in my abilities, in reality, I may not be able to do it..." Sima Yi finally admitted that he could not do it, at least not when commanding other people's armies.

After all, he is not the commander of those legions, nor is he a direct superior. He cannot understand the conditions of those soldiers, nor can he empathize with them. If he can't even do these things, how can he lead these soldiers to transform and sublimate?

"No, I don't need Zhongda's help in this regard. I just want a chance to go and have a look. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. I just hope Zhongda can help me take a look so that I won't be tricked. That's all..." After understanding what Sima Yi was thinking, Xizhong smiled and shook his head, explaining the reason.

After hearing this reply, Sima Yi finally nodded in agreement.

It's not just because of the other person's answer, but also because of the other person's mentality when speaking, which contains a special kind of determination.

Whether he agrees or not, the other party will go.

In order to avoid behaviors that were against his control and caused trouble for him, Sima Yi had no choice but to accept it.

However, Xu Shu, who was standing by, heard something different from these words.

After looking at Xi Zhong meaningfully, Xu Shu immediately withdrew his gaze.

There is only one possibility for someone to be able to make such a decision and be willing to take a gamble even at the risk of heavy casualties.

Among the legions sent this time, I am afraid that some have already embarked on that path, or in other words, are staying outside the threshold and need a suitable opportunity to complete the transformation.

Among the many armies under Cao Cao's command, only one was able to achieve this level...

"Western Liang Cavalry?" Xu Shu screened in his mind, and the first choice that came to his mind was this world-famous legion, but he then rejected it.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry has a complete advancement route, and this method is needed to complete promotion and transformation.

The journey of this tour is quite long, and the troops are basically composed of cavalry or mounted infantry. There are not many legions under Cao Cao that meet this condition.

Seeing Xu Shu thinking like this, Xi Zhong showed a smile on his face to cover up the entanglement and helplessness in his heart.

If it weren’t for what happened back then, why would things be like this now?
Each family has its own famous troops, but Cao Cao's troops have basically had no presence up to now.

As for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Zhang Xiu, they are indeed famous throughout the world, but that is because they are the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so they are famous throughout the world, not because of their own strength... (End of this chapter)
