The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 358 Li Tiao: General, it’s your turn to take action!
"General, how should we fight this battle?" After saying goodbye to Zhang Yan and the others, Li Tiao dived into the military formation and finally found Yang Ji after spending some effort.

At this time, Yang Ji was fiddling with his own sword. As the sword was swung, rays of sword light were confined around the blade. Under the blessing of Yang Ji's divine will, the sword light even cut through the air, as if it would cut through the space in the next moment.

Li Tiao looked at the sword lights that were restrained around the sword blade and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Just looking at these flying sword lights made his skin feel tingling, as if they were going to cut someone in half.

Li Tiao twisted his neck forcefully, forcing himself not to look at the flying sword lights. If Yang Ji's will was relaxed, he would be cut into several pieces. He had seen huge trees being dismembered by these sword lights.

"How do you fight?" Yang Ji sneered, and sheathed the sword with a clang. The friction between the brass at the sheath and the blade produced sparks.

"Do I need to make a battle plan to fight Ju Yi, when I have an army of 100,000 elite soldiers under my command?" Yang Ji looked at Li Tiao and asked back.

Seeing Yang Ji's extremely arrogant look, Li Tiao was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's no longer necessary."

Since Yang Ji said so, he must have made a battle plan long ago, but just didn't want to tell him. After all, Li Tiao really couldn't understand, so it would be better not to say it, or to tell him that there was no battle plan.

Although Li Tiao took the Thousand Character Classic handed down by Chen Xi and learned a few characters from the literacy teacher in the camp, there are some things that you cannot understand just by learning them. If you are not able to understand them, you will not understand them.

"Is that right? With an army of 100,000 elite soldiers and an unexpected collective will feedback system, do we still need to look at the faces of Ju Yi and Xian Deng? No need at all." Yang Ji was quite satisfied with Li Tiao's attitude.

"Okay, the team has been almost reorganized. Li Tiao, you can lead an army and become a general. If you can come back alive after challenging Yan Liang, it will be a foregone conclusion that you will be the military commander leading a thousand soldiers." Yang Ji painted a big picture for Li Tiao in a very serious manner.

Before Chen Xi recovered Qingzhou, Li Tiao had already gone to Fenggao to beg for food. After two great leaders sacrificed their lives, Li Tiao was able to officially settle down in Fenggao, was allocated land, and even married a wife.

Then one day he met Liu Bei who was wandering on the street of Fenggao. Liu Bei immediately tricked Li Tiao into joining his army and sent him to the Fenggao camp. He let Yu Jin train him several times, and after he completed the officer training, he took him to Licheng to become a military officer under Yang Ji.

Li Tiao, who had just entered the military system, had no merits, so the only position Yang Ji could arrange for Li Tiao was a military marquis. This was because Li Tiao used to be the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. Otherwise, the 500 people under Li Tiao's command would have rebelled long ago and would never have recognized Li Tiao, an airborne military marquis.

Of course, even if Li Tiao was thrown into a group that was not formed by Qingzhou "locals", Li Tiao could rely on his fists to gain the recognition of his subordinates.

In fact, according to Yang Ji's original idea, he wanted to arrange Li Tiao to serve as the corps commander in those armies that did not have a corps commander yet. After all, Li Tiao was, after all, a veteran who could rely on instinct to command thousands of people.

Liu Bei has no shortage of qualified regular soldiers under his command, but he lacks mid- to high-level commanders, that is, officers at the level of military marquises, military secretaries and corps commanders. The military marquises and military secretaries in the middle who can command 1,800 people are the most lacking.

Excluding the soldiers stationed in the garrisons, the total number of troops under Liu Bei's command has exceeded 300,000. Based on the calculation that each army has 5,000 people, Liu Bei needs at least 60 legion commanders and at least 300 military Simas. The remaining military marquises who command 500 people will be even more short-staffed, not to mention the garrison commanders who require a little command ability.

Yang Ji had previously reserved low- and middle-level officers with certain command capabilities, but the military forces under Liu Bei expanded so quickly that Yang Ji had no time to train more reserve officers.

So when Liu Bei had nothing to do, he would wander around Fenggao Camp and other places, in order to find potential middle and low-level officers with certain command capabilities, and then send them to the military academy founded by Huangfu Song for officer training, and then send them to the army to serve as team leaders and garrison chiefs.

As for whether those guys can withstand the heavy iron fist of their own subordinates, that is not a question that Lord Liu Bei should think about. After all, the opportunity has been given to you, and whether you can seize it depends on yourself.

If there is improper command in an individual martial arts duel, or in a group martial arts performance at the hundred-man level, don't blame the military commander for reporting to his lord Liu Bei.

The positions of garrison commander, military marquis and military secretary, which require some command ability, are the most scarce middle and high-level military officers under Liu Bei.

A garrison commander can still rely on bravery to command a hundred men, but when it comes to a military marquis of five hundred men or a military Sima of a thousand men, he no longer has to rely on bravery alone.

Why did Yang Ji come to support the Black Mountain Army? Besides wanting these one million people and to cause trouble for Yuan Shao, he also wanted the generals and leaders of the various units in the Black Mountain Army who could command 1,800 people.

These people had not received any formal military education, but relying on their experience and instincts gained from years of beatings, they had no problem commanding 1,800 people, which was exactly what Liu Bei's Taishan Army urgently needed.

"Military Sima?" Li Tiao's eyes lit up. You know, except for Guan Hai, the highest rank of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban leaders who were still in the army was only a military marquis. If he was the first to become a military Sima commanding a thousand men, he would be the one to show off in front of everyone and get slapped in the face.

After Chen Xi led his troops to recapture Qingzhou, except for the 200,000 elite young men who were specially gathered together, the rest of the generals who did not want to fight anymore basically chose to retire, and they took out a piece of land in various places in Qingzhou and lived a pastoral life.

The reason why they joined the army again was simply because Liu Bei issued a conscription order and they responded to Liu Bei's call.

However, precisely because they were re-enlisting, the generals and leaders who responded to the call-up basically started from the level of team leaders and garrison commanders.

As for the levels of military marquis, military secretary, or even legion commander, they cannot be parachuted in. They have to have certain merits to be able to take up the position.

Even if you want to parachute a military marquis, you will need a letter of recommendation issued by the military academy where Huangfu Song is.

Among the 300,000 troops under Liu Bei's command, a considerable number of military marquises, military Sima and corps commanders had a fake character in front of their titles. This was the so-called happy trouble brought about by the rapid expansion.

"General, don't worry. I will definitely be the military commander." Li Tiao said, patting his chest.

It’s just Yan Liang. Li Tiao still has the confidence that he can come back alive, although because of the collective will feedback system, the cloud suppression in this battle is not serious.

However, the fact that the clouds are thin and the cloud suppression is not severe does not mean that there is no cloud suppression.

Moreover, within Yang Ji's independent belief and will area, it was still unknown how much power Yan Liang's divine will could exert. Yang Ji waved his hand, signaling Li Tiao to get out and receive the 5,000 soldiers assigned to him. He would be a grass-roots general from now on.

"Yes." After Li Tiao saluted Yang Ji, he followed the guidance set up by Yang Ji through the independent belief and will area to find the five thousand people assigned to him.

“Well, it looks like I have to give this guy Li Tiao some help, otherwise it will be hard to block Yan Liang’s blade that’s wrapped with the brilliant divine will.” Looking at Li Tiao’s back as he happily left, Yang Ji said slowly.

The will system's suppression of a warrior's internal energy is not that strong, otherwise Han Xin would not have developed the cloud system in the first place. It was because the will system was unable to suppress Xiang Yu's internal energy.

The strength of the essence and spirit cultivation is also based on the most basic internal energy. The path of essence and spirit, in the final analysis, still needs the support of internal energy.

However, Yang Ji would definitely not tell Li Tiao that the will system has a special suppressive effect on divine cultivation. After all, if the will system cannot suppress the internal energy, can it also suppress the individual will? Do you really think that everyone has Guan Yu's obviously abnormal divine will?

The reason why Yang Ji let Yan Liang go and fight Li Tiao was that he wanted to see to what extent the collective will feedback system could provide feedback to a single person's body and mind.

-

"You are the guy who followed Yang Ji before, right? You don't have internal energy leaving your body?" Yan Liang swept his gun across, forcing Li Tiao to retreat. He glanced Li Tiao up and down, and then asked in surprise.

If Yan Liang remembered Li Tiao's will fluctuations correctly, the guy in front of him was the one he discovered that day because of breaking through the internal energy and leaving the body. But shouldn't the guy who broke through the internal energy and left the body be Yang Ji?
"So that's how it is. It was you who broke through that day, not Yang Ji. But it seems that you didn't succeed, and you actually survived." Yan Liang said to Li Tiao with a grim expression.

"Haha, my general has long been in a state of internal energy leaving his body. If he were here, I wonder if you would still be arrogant?" Li Tiao shook his head, trying to gather his somewhat scattered will.

It can only be said that the divine cultivator's will attack was indeed powerful enough. After Li Tiao exchanged a few moves with Yan Liang, his will was almost shattered by Yan Liang's attack. If it were not for the independent belief and will area covering this area that offset part of Yan Liang's will attack, Li Tiao would have died from Yan Liang's will attack.

Li Tiao was the vanguard this time, and then he met Yan Liang who was also the vanguard. By the way, because of the terrain restrictions here, Yan Liang did not bring Yuan Shao's heavy cavalry corps, but brought an infantry corps, which is why Li Tiao was able to run into Yan Liang.

It is true that Yan Liang's ability to command troops is not good, but Yan Liang has one good point: he is willing to listen to the advice of people he approves of. For example, Ju Yi suggested that when he was commanding the heavy cavalry corps to charge into battle, he only needed to rely on his own military strength to lead the charge, and the rest could be left to his deputy general who had certain command capabilities.

When Yan Liang was fighting with Zhang Yan and his men before, he didn't encounter much strong resistance at all, and even if there was resistance, it was crushed by his force.

Originally, if the Yellow Turban Army wanted to raise the clouds with their organizational strength, they would need at least 100,000 men. However, Zhang Yan miraculously relied on his ability to command troops to raise the clouds with only 20,000 to 30,000 Black Mountain Army.

But, unfortunately, the Black Mountain Army's corps organizational ability was almost non-existent. Even if the clouds rose, the effect of suppressing Yan Liang's internal energy was not very high, so Yan Liang remained at the level of just entering the state of internal energy leaving the body.

After discovering the 5,000 men led by Li Tiao, Yan Liang naturally regarded them as the vulnerable Black Mountain Army corps before.

But who knew that there was actually a Li Tiao hidden among them. If the cloud energy of Li Tiao's army had not been mostly offset by Yang Ji's independent belief and will area, Yan Liang might have been successfully attacked.

"Haha, then let him try with me. You, who has practiced Qi into Gang, are not qualified enough." Yan Liang put away his arrogance. There seemed to be something wrong with the legion led by Li Tiao.

"Haha, you just realize something is wrong now?" After dispelling the drowsiness in his head, Li Tiao also saw the battle situation around him.

Originally, Yan Liang's army should have crushed Li Tiao's army. After all, Yan Liang's army had elite talents and cloud suppression. But what about Li Tiao's army? Apart from having a good will, what else can they show?
However, the situation at the scene was completely different from what Yan Liang had expected, and it was his soldiers who were being beaten.

Indeed, Li Tiao's army had almost no organizational ability, no obvious elite talent, and even had to endure the cloud suppression from Yan Liang's army.

However, the lack of obvious elite talent does not mean that Li Tiao’s army is not strong. This is one of Yang Ji’s three super elite legions in the Black Mountain Army. In terms of quality and willpower, it crushes Yan Liang’s army.

Although Li Tiao's army would be suppressed by the cloud energy of Yan Liang's army, Li Tiao's army basically did not use internal energy and the essence of heaven and earth to fight, but simply relied on their own qualities and will that were one level higher than the opponent and fought hard.

If Yan Liang's army had not been well-equipped and well-organized, and if Yang Ji had not given Li Tiao's army a willpower blow, Li Tiao's army would have already dealt a heavy blow to Yan Liang's army.

However, except for quality and will, even though Yan Liang's army was stronger than Li Tiao's army in every aspect, Yan Liang's army was still suppressed and defeated by Li Tiao's army.

"How is it possible that the physical fitness of your Yellow Turban Army is so high!?" Yan Liang growled. He couldn't believe that the elite troops under his command would be defeated by the rubbish Yellow Turbans in terms of quality.

"What the hell did that guy Yang Ji do?" Yan Liang roared, swung his spear and attacked Li Tiao again. If he killed Li Tiao, the 5,000 people in front of him would collapse on their own. This is the nature of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Do you think I will tell you the secrets of my army?" Li Tiao grinned and rushed forward with a ring-handled sword to fight with Yan Liang.

As for the radiant will that emanated from Yan Liang’s spear?

Ha ha.

Li Tiao didn't believe that Yang Ji would just sit there and watch.
