Chapter 307 Jiangdong Arsonist

Heavy rain poured down from the dark rain clouds towards Shucheng and surrounding areas.

Heavy rain of this magnitude could paralyze Shucheng’s drainage system in a quarter of an hour at most, causing serious urban flooding.

"Hehe, you're still resisting? Then I'll give you some more ingredients, so you can experience the cold secret technique derived from Zijing's talent."

Chen Xi looked at Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others who were still launching legion attacks in an attempt to break the rain cloud, and started another preparation of his own.

In the rain clouds above Shucheng, a secret ritual constructed by mental power was activated by Chen Xi.

Although the legion attacks of Sun Ce and others would occasionally shatter some of the secret rituals in the rain clouds, how could Chen Xi, a guy who advocates nested military formations, not have considered this possibility?

Sun Ce and his men used their legion to attack in an attempt to break through the clouds and disperse the cold rainstorm, but the result was to no avail.

Because Chen Xi nested multiple cold secret techniques into a large cold secret technique.

Even if Sun Ce and others broke one of the secret techniques, it would not affect the other secret techniques. At most, it would only affect the large-scale cold secret techniques that were nested together.

Although the legion attack of Sun Ce and others can break the rain clouds, Chen Xi is not incapable of redeploying the rain clouds to make up for the broken rain clouds.

Looking at the soldiers shivering in the cold rain, Sun Ce quickly used his inner energy to create a barrier for Zhou Yu and asked Zhou Yu worriedly, "Gongjin, what should we do now?"

Zhou Yu frowned and did not answer Sun Ce's question first. Instead, he looked around at the soldiers who were shivering in the cold rain.

Zhou Yu felt the feedback from his spiritual talent, "They really think highly of our small army. Six people with talents came at once."

"Six!?" Sun Ce originally wanted to hear how Zhou Yu was going to solve the problem of Leng Yu, but he didn't expect to hear such explosive news from Zhou Yu.

"It should be one civil official and five military generals with internal energy leaving their bodies." Zhou Yu said calmly.

As for why Zhou Yu could not detect Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the two awakened ones with monarch talent.

It is probably because Zhou Yu had no conceptual knowledge related to the monarch's talent, and Liu Bei's legion talent was incorporated into the monarch's talent, so it was not detected.

"There are actually five military generals whose internal energy can leave their bodies?" Sun Ce's eyes widened. He did not mention the civil official because Zhou Yu had taken care of him, but he would have to deal with the military generals.

Sun Ce swallowed his saliva. If there were only two or three generals whose internal energy left their bodies, Sun Ce could delay for a while. But if there were five, Sun Ce felt that he would be in danger.

"There are only five warriors whose internal energy has left their bodies. It's not a big problem. When the time comes, we can suppress the cloud energy and dispatch hundreds of elite soldiers to hold them back.

The important thing is the chill contained in the rain. If there is no way to dispel this chill, it will be difficult for the soldiers to fully exert their fighting power. "Zhou Yu said calmly.

Seeing Zhou Yu's calmness, Sun Ce's anxious mood instantly calmed down. As long as Zhou Yu didn't start to get anxious, there was no need to worry. Zhou Yu would definitely have a way to solve the problem at hand.

"Then what should we do?" Sun Ce acted as a perfect listener and asked the question that he and the officers around him wanted to ask most.

"When I was studying the Xuanxiang Formation recently, I came up with an inspiration about water and fire, which can be used in this scene." Zhou Yu said calmly.

Perhaps it was because Zhou Yu's expression was too calm that the officers and soldiers, including Sun Ce, believed that Zhou Yu's research on the Xuanxiang Formation could solve the difficulties they encountered this time.

"What are you waiting for? Get ready quickly. We will all follow your command." Sun Ce said, grabbing Zhou Yu's hand.

The other officers also looked at Zhou Yu with anticipation, believing that Zhou Yu could lead them to victory. Even if it was not victory, it would be a successful breakout.

"Okay." Zhou Yu raised his flag calmly, "All soldiers, listen to my command and stand up!"

Following Zhou Yu's order, Sun Ce's army began to move, and the clouds began to change with the changes in the army's formation.

The effect of the original Xuanxiang Formation, which was originally used to conceal the body shape, was not cancelled, but was integrated into another Xuanxiang Formation.

The misty fog that shrouded Sun Ce's army turned into the color of a fiery cloud. The Xuanxiang formation used the heat transformed from the clouds to dispel all the coldness in the rain.

When the originally cold raindrops fell on the soldiers, they turned into warm water droplets.

"I can only say that he is worthy of being the Jiangdong arsonist Zhou Yu Gongjin. He has actually comprehended the fire method at this time." Chen Xi looked at the burning clouds not far away.

"It seems that Zichuan, your idea of ​​using rain and cold to delay the enemy's actions has failed." Cao Cao, who appeared out of nowhere, said.

"Although the idea of ​​delaying the enemy's mobility has failed, it is not without results." Chen Xi smiled and did not refute Cao Cao.

"Look, didn't we consume a large wave of the enemy's clouds?" Chen Xi said, pointing at the clouds of Sun Ce's army that had shrunk by one third in size.

The fire-attributed Xuanxiang formation that Zhou Yu used today was the one he had just researched. He had not had time to optimize it, and it consumed a lot of cloud energy.

"In this way, the suppression of the enemy's cloud energy will be greatly reduced for the generals." Chen Xi looked behind Cao Cao, where only Dian Wei was left.

"There are only two generals, Sun Bofu and Zhou Youping, in the enemy army. I believe that you generals should be able to win a victory, right?" Chen Xi said to Cao Cao with a smile.

"Of course!" Cao Cao responded to Chen Xi's words without hesitation. He had to respond to Chen Xi's words.

Otherwise... Cao Cao has no idea what kind of slander this ignorant guy Chen Xi will tell Liu Bei.

Having finally regained his original intention as the General of the Western Expedition, Cao Cao did not want to destroy the system that he had preserved with great difficulty because of his momentary talk.

"Then it will be handed over to Cao Gong next." Chen Xi smiled and nodded to Cao Cao. After all, apart from two-thirds of the Qingzhou fleet, Chen Xi really had no other legions.

At this time, Liu Bei's foresight in bringing Cao Cao out can be seen.

Well, the matter of bringing Cao Cao out really had nothing to do with this guy Chen Xi. It was Liu Bei who first proposed it.

Cao Cao's face twisted for a moment. Chen Xi definitely did it on purpose.

"Leave it to me." Cao Cao took Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others off the boat with an expressionless face.

The next section of the journey requires the speed of the cavalry units under Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan to be recharged.

"You still like to scare people." Liu Bei shook his head, speechless at Chen Xi's behavior.

"People like Cao Gong always need to be frightened from time to time, otherwise he will swell up like a porcupine." Chen Xi explained his reasons to Liu Bei. "Forget it, I won't comment any more. Anyway, you must have your reasons for doing things."

Liu Bei thought about it carefully and felt that it would be better not to interfere with Chen Xi. He didn't think he could see through Chen Xi's long-term plan.

Since Chen Xi did this, he must have his reasons. It seems abnormal now, but it’s just that we can’t see what Chen Xi foresaw.

Yang Ji had told them a long time ago that when you don’t understand Chen Xi’s operation, don’t talk nonsense in Chen Xi’s ear. You just think you understand it, but in fact you don’t know what Chen Xi is doing at all.

Before Chen Xi's plan was revealed, no one could see clearly what Chen Xi was doing.

Maybe the Chen Xi you saw was preparing for something, but in fact Chen Xi was preparing for something else.

After hearing what Liu Bei said, the corners of Chen Xi's mouth twitched a few times. What on earth did that guy Yang Ji say to Liu Bei?
It would be fine to just give Liu Bei a heads-up, after all, many of his actions require Liu Bei's cooperation.

However, Yang Ji chose not to leave the plan unfinished. He only told Liu Bei about it and didn't tell anyone else at all, saying that he would let those smart people figure it out on their own.

Only what they discovered themselves could make them truly believe how important Chen Xi's presence is in the internal affairs and logistics.

"By the way, is there really no problem over in Chaohu? The various skilled craftsmen there will be the backbone of our future Donglai Shipyard." Liu Bei directly assigned the craftsmen from the Chaohu Lujia Shipyard to his own command.

After all, they are not a fire brigade that puts out fires. Their trip to Jiangdong to rescue the Lu family requires rescue fees.

Of course, Liu Bei also knew that the Lu family’s files, documents, books, and wealth were all burned in a fire, so the kind-hearted Liu Bei took the various craftsmen in the Chaohu Lu family shipyard as compensation.

"Lord Xuande, you must believe in Ziyi's ability. He will handle everything in Chaohu." Chen Xi expressed his belief in Taishi Ci's ability.

"But, isn't it said that the Jiangxia navy is very strong? Can Ziyi, a land army general, really command the navy?" Liu Bei said with some concern.

It’s not that Liu Bei didn’t believe in Taishi Ci’s ability. If Taishi Ci was on land, Liu Bei would never have any other ideas.

However, Taishi Ci is now leading one third of the Qingzhou fleet, and Liu Bei knows how difficult it is for an army general to be transferred to a naval general.

It is not a simple matter of learning how to swim, how to fight on a ship with ease, and how to operate a ship to become a qualified naval officer.

Liu Bei believed that Taishi Ci, who was recommended by Yang Ji and Chen Xi, had the qualifications to become a naval general.

However, it has only been a short time since Taishi Ci was promoted from an army general to a naval general. Can he really command a fleet on his own?

You know, Yang Ji's original positioning of Taishi Ci was as a marine.

“The Jiangxia navy is indeed very strong, but that is the Jiangxia navy under the command of Zhou Gongjin.

If Zhou Gongjin hadn't been in command, relying on the performance advantages of our warships, it would have been no problem to stop the Jiangxia navy." Chen Xi shook his head.

"As for whether Ziyi can command one-third of the Qingzhou fleet, Lord Xuande should not mention it again. Ziyi's aptitude in naval warfare will allow him to quickly learn all the tactical techniques required for naval warfare." Chen Xi said calmly.

"Wen Xiang, do you think what I said is right?" Chen Xi suddenly asked Xu Sheng, who temporarily led one-third of the Qingzhou fleet.

"Ah?" Xu Sheng was confused. Why were they suddenly asking him? He was just a small follower. You know, when he was in the Danyang tribe of Xuzhou, he was just a military marquis.

Even after Xuzhou became Liu Bei's territory and was transferred to the Qingzhou fleet, he was still just a military marquis.

Even though Liu Bei had selected Chen Xi this time and let him temporarily lead one-third of the Qingzhou fleet, Xu Sheng was still a military marquis in essence.

"Don't be shy, just say what you think." Chen Xi waved his hand, signaling Xu Sheng not to be nervous.

"I think Lord Chen is right." Xu Sheng blushed and said seriously.

Although Xu Sheng felt that if he were to do it himself, he might be able to do better than Taishi Ci.

But Xu Sheng is not a simple reckless man after all, and his character is relatively smooth.

What's more, Xu Sheng didn't think Taishi Ci couldn't do it, he just thought he would do better if he were to do it.

After all, Taishi Ci was born in the north and had never been involved in naval battles before, so it was normal for him to be a little green now.

However, Xu Sheng still recognized Taishi Ci's qualifications. After all, if he could command a fleet, how could he not have some qualifications?

Liu Bei looked at Xu Sheng, who was temporarily promoted by Chen Xi, and said no more.

Maybe this guy is also a talented person in water battles. The talented people are the most unreasonable group of people.

Zhou Yu suddenly looked in a certain direction, and Sun Ce seemed to sense something and looked in the same direction as Zhou Yu.

"Bofu, take your men to stop them, and I will organize the defense line." Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce calmly.

"Okay." Sun Ce didn't say much, and took his personal guards to stop the cavalry troops led by Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.

[Damn it, how did the enemy cavalry run in such muddy conditions? ] Zhou Yu was puzzled.

However, now is not the time to think about these temporarily useless things. The most important thing now is to withdraw the army into Shucheng.

"Gongjin, assist me in using legion attacks to force their cavalry to slow down!" Sun Ce shouted to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu did not answer, but silently mobilized his soldiers and gathered cloud energy to bless Sun Ce.

The remaining cloud energy of Sun Ce's army was directly poured into Sun Ce under Zhou Yu's command.

Sun Ce, dressed in golden armor, was madly displaying his legion talents under the infusion of cloud energy. He needed the help of his soldiers to integrate the cloud energy.

A golden sun rose slowly in the pouring rain, even affecting the dark clouds in the sky, causing them to show signs of dispersing.

"Miaocai, the legion attacks and interrupts Sun Bofu's actions." Xiahou Dun called out to Xiahou Yuan.

On the other side, Sun Ce also noticed the actions of Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.
