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

Chapter 379: Decision to Go to War with Gongsun

After hearing the time reported by Ju Yi, Yuan Shao and other civil and military officials were silent. It only took one month to train the 60,000 soldiers selected from the Black Mountain Army into double-talented soldiers. So in Ju Yi's eyes, this speed was only considered good?
However, Yang Ji's attack lasted even shorter than Ju Yi's, which was not unexpected. After all, he was a ruthless man who could defeat Jizhou militarily.

However, it will only take a month at most for Licheng to have an additional 60,000 dual-talented soldiers. Even if they have the weakest dual talent, they are still dual talents. If they face ordinary single-talented legions, they will be able to crush them.

Moreover, these 60,000 double talents were only the newly added double-talented legions in Licheng, and did not include the old double-talented legions under Liu Bei.

Although the combat effectiveness of those old dual-talent legions cannot compare with the orthodox super-elite legions that have reached the standards of both willpower and quality at this stage, they are still stronger than the new dual-talent legions.

Yuan Shao counted the double-talented legions he had, and it was over. It seemed that the number was just as great as the opponent's newly added double-talented legions. It was simply fatal.

It seems that they can only go in the direction of elite troops. Yuan Shao felt a tightness in his chest. They, Jizhou, have always been the ones who overpowered others with military force, but now they have to go the route of elite troops. It's really going against the will of heaven.

After everyone present was silent for a long time, Yuan Shao turned to Ju Yi and asked, "Zhengli, can you train the 60,000 double-talented soldiers under my command into super elites?" Although the super elite and double-talented soldiers belong to the same level of legions, the combat effectiveness of the super elite legion is ultimately much higher than that of the double-talented legion.

After hearing Yuan Shao's question, Ju Yi was silent for a while and roughly estimated the progress of Yuan Shao's double-talented legion in his mind.

"My lord, the quality of the double-talented legion is actually more than enough. What they lack is only their will. If we throw them into the battlefield and fight a few deadly bloody battles, they should be able to become super elite." Ju Yi expressed his thoughts, which was to go to war with Gongsun Zan directly, but not a decisive battle where all efforts were made, but a small battle of relatively low intensity.

The reason why they chose Gongsun Zan to start the war was not only because they wanted to use the battlefield to train their troops, but also because Gongsun Zan was easier to control. After all, if Liu Bei had not been watching from behind, Yuan Shao or Ju Yi would have driven Gongsun Zan to Youbeiping long ago.

If possible, they would like to destroy Gongsun Zan together with the White Horse Volunteers, but unfortunately, with the presence of the White Horse Military Soul, even if Commander Ju Yi goes first, he will still not be able to completely destroy Gongsun Zan and the White Horse Military Soul.

As for Liu Bei, Ju Yi didn't want to provoke him now. Besides the fact that the troops should not be dispersed, there was also the matter of Yang Ji. After all, after the two sides started fighting, who knew whether Yang Ji would suddenly lead an army of 100,000 or even more to directly attack Jizhou.

Currently, the total military strength under Liu Bei's command is higher than that of Yuan Shao. Although he has to allocate one-third of his troops to guard the four directions, if he wants to withdraw 200,000 troops to go to war with Jizhou, Liu Bei can really do it, especially with Chen Xi in charge of logistics.

Although when Chen Xi first implemented reforms in Taishan, almost no one was optimistic about Chen Xi's reforms, and almost everyone was laughing at Chen Xi, but the final result proved that they were the joke, and Chen Xi was the one laughing at them.

At this point, if there is still someone who has not copied the development model formulated by Chen Xi in Taishan, then this guy can be judged as a fool.

Many of the policies implemented in Jizhou were copied from Chen Xi. Although most of these policies have undergone some modifications, at a glance, one can still clearly see the traces of Chen Xi. Even if the civil officials under Yuan Shao wanted to wash them away, they could not.

In addition to these reasons, the existence of Yang Ji is also one of the main reasons why Yuan Shao, Ju Yi and others do not want to provoke Liu Bei too much. After all, if Liu Bei and others are angered, it would be bad if Yang Ji was released directly, and it would not be just ordinary bad.

According to Xun Chen's simulation of the thinking of Liu Bei and Chen Xi, Fenggao did not want to engage in large-scale war with other princes in the past two years. At most, it could send a detachment of 50,000 to 60,000 troops to attack, which was just at the lower limit of the large army command.

A detachment of fifty or sixty thousand was indeed nothing to a great prince like Yuan Shao. After all, a detachment of ten thousand men with double-sky talents was already a strong enough force to influence the local battlefield. Although for some small princes, a detachment of this level was enough to make them consider surrendering.

However, what is more worrying is that the detachment that Fenggao plans to form to participate in the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is basically composed of soldiers with double talents, and is most likely to be commanded by Yang Ji.

However, Fenggao only has this plan now, and whether to form it or not is still under discussion. The greater possibility is to send several powerful legions into the battlefield to ensure that the battlefield situation will not be out of their control. After all, no one knows who will win or lose on the battlefield until the last moment.

Of course, Fenggao might also send its new dual-talented legion into the battlefield to temper their will. After all, there was no reason why those smart people couldn't think of what Ju Yi could think of, but no one had made this suggestion.

"Start a low-intensity battle with Gongsun Zan?" Yuan Shao pondered for a while. In fact, when Ju Yi made this suggestion, he already had a choice in his mind, but he still wanted to ask other people's opinions.

"What do you think?" Yuan Shao asked Shen Pei and others. Although Yuan Shao's ability was not bad, and even with the blessing of his monarch's talent, his ability was even stronger than many people present.

But precisely because he is in this state, Yuan Shao is very clear at this moment that although he is very strong at this moment, he is still a long way from Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Xun Chen, Shen Pei and other people who have awakened their spiritual talents.

"I agree with General Ju's proposal to go to war with Gongsun Zan." Tian Feng stood up and said, not because he had a good relationship with Ju Yi, but because the plan proposed by Ju Yi was the best plan they could think of.

"But, if we go to war with Gongsun Zan directly now, will Licheng get involved? You know, the one stationed in Licheng is Yang Ji." Xun Chen asked with a frown. It's no wonder that he is so cautious, but it is really possible that Yang Ji will lead his troops to the battlefield.

"Don't worry, Yang Ji will not appear in Licheng for a long time." Guo Tu said confidently. Their previous arrangements in Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou finally had some effect. "What do you mean?" Xun Chen said with some doubt. Although he knew that Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others had gone to Yuzhou a few days ago, he didn't know what these two guys were doing in Yuzhou. He guessed that they were sent by their lord Yuan Shao to discuss the situation of Yuan Shu with the Yuan family in Runan.

But whether it was true or not, Xun Chen was not sure. Although he had now entered Yuan Shao's core circle, his beliefs only partially overlapped with Yuan Shao's. So he had joined Yuan Shao's core circle, but was somewhat isolated from the core circle.

If Xun Chen had asked, Yuan Shao would have told him, but Xun Chen himself did not want to ask, nor did he want to get involved in the various conspiracies and intrigues they had come up with. On the one hand, it was troublesome, on the other hand, he did not want to get involved, and on the other hand, he did not have a good relationship with the others.

Shen Pei, Xin Pi and Feng Ji did not show any change in expression, as they obviously knew what Guo Tu and Xin Ping were doing in Yuzhou. However, Tian Feng and Ju Shou, who had just returned from outside, frowned.

"Didn't Zhongzhi and I go to Yuzhou a few days ago? We also visited the noble families in Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Xuzhou. They were very dissatisfied with Liu Xuande." Guo Tu said with a smile.

"So what?" Ju Shou asked with a frown. Even they couldn't do anything to Liu Bei. Could it be that the four families in these four states could do anything to Liu Bei?
Or do the noble families of these four states intend to unite and attack Xuzhou? Don't be ridiculous, even the noble families of Jizhou under the command of Lord Yuan Shao would fight among themselves, let alone the noble families of the four states.

However, if those aristocratic families did not unite, they would not be able to defeat Zhao Yun, the commander of the Xuzhou Army, who controlled 60,000 troops of the Xuzhou Army.

Although the 60,000 Xuzhou Army under Zhao Yun's command were reorganized and expanded after the original Xuzhou Army was disbanded, relying on the 30,000 Danyang elite troops originally commanded by Tao Qian and thousands of elite backbones drawn from the Taishan Army, but how many princes in the world can defeat the 60,000 Danyang elite troops?
Although it is not known how many double-talented Danyang are there among the 60,000 elite Danyang soldiers of Xuzhou, many of the 30,000 elite Danyang soldiers left by Tao Qian have followed Tao Qian in his battles. Even if they are not super elite, they are definitely double-talented.

Facing such a powerful army, they dared to charge. Ju Shou just wanted to say that this was not the way to seek death. If those noble families really thought so, they were really brave. With such a powerful army, even Yuan Shao had to take it seriously. Why did those noble families do that?
"So the two of us found Yuan Gonglu's adopted sons Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin, as well as Liu Jingsheng who was sinking in Jingnan. They are very interested in disrupting the situation in the south of the Yangtze River." Xin Ping continued, his words revealing a hint of excitement and excitement.

Ju Su glanced at Yuan Shao, who was expressionless, and then asked Guo Tu and Xin Ping, "So you have convinced Yuan Gonglu?"

Guo Tu and Xin Ping were silent for a while, and then Guo Tu said: "We don't need to convince Yuan Gonglu, we only need to convince Zhou Gongjin and Liu Jingsheng."

Liu Biao wanted to take back the land of northern Jing from Sun Ce, Zhou Yu wanted to take over Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and Sun Ce didn't want Liu Biao to hide in southern Jing. He was very happy that Liu Biao could send troops to northern Jing, so that he could lead his troops to kill Liu Biao's army and chop off Liu Biao's head openly.

These two families were the most powerful in Jiangnan. Even Liu Biao, who looked the most miserable, could not match the military strength of those Jingzhou families. Although Liu Biao only had 60,000 infantry, there were advantages to having fewer soldiers. At least the logistical pressure would not be so great and it would be easier to control.

Although the Kuai family of Nanjun had become disloyal to Liu Biao, the brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were still loyal to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao relied on these two brothers extremely, or he had to rely on them, as these two were the only capable people left under Liu Biao's command.

"Zhou Gongjin, Sun Bofu, and Liu Jingsheng?" Tian Feng and Ju Su looked at each other and immediately understood Guo Tu and the others' intentions.

"However, Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin will not let Liu Jingsheng take back Jingbei. These two may take Yangzhou, but they may not attack Xuzhou." Xun Chen said slowly. Although he was isolated from the crowd, Xun Chen still had a good understanding of the princes of the world. After all, the spiritual talent of mind simulation was really convenient.

"Haha, this is none of our business. Whether Sun Bofu plans to fight Liu Jingsheng or take over Yangzhou or even Xuzhou, Zhou Gongjin will make arrangements." Guo Tu said with a little fear, and Xin Ping, who was sitting next to Guo Tu, also showed a hint of fear.

[Zhou Gongjin?] Everyone present saw that Guo Tu and Xin Ping were wary of Zhou Yu, and they immediately realized that Zhou Yu was not someone to be trifled with. Perhaps both of them had suffered at Zhou Yu's hands.

Although Guo Tu's main focus is on developing his family and figuring out Yuan Shao's thoughts, his intelligence is not inferior to theirs. It is just that his spiritual vision limits his abilities. Otherwise, even if he is not as good as them, he is not much worse.

As for Xin Ping, he is slightly inferior to his younger brother Xin Pi, and Xin Pi is at the same level as them, so everyone understands.

Although Guo Tu often did nothing and used his intelligence to guess his superiors' thoughts, you had to admit that Guo Tu was really good at talking, otherwise Yuan Shao would not have smiled so often in front of Guo Tu.

"Gong Ze Zhong Zhi, since you two have facilitated the matter of the four states of Yu, Jing, Yang and Xu, the rest of the matters will be left to you." Yuan Shao said to Guo Tu with an expressionless face.

Although Guo Tu is a guy who knows how to please people, Yuan Shao now knows better who he can rely on. Since Guo Tu wants to disrupt the four states of Yu, Jing, Yang and Xu, then let him complete the task. Who knows, maybe Guo Tu can really bring some results.

"Yes! I will definitely drag that guy Yang Ji to Xuzhou!" After hearing Yuan Shao's approval, Guo Tu immediately stood up excitedly and said. Before, Yuan Shao valued Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others the most. Now Guo Tu will finally have a place, and then he will replace Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others.

Guo Tu was thinking in his heart, not knowing that all his thoughts were seen through by Yuan Shao. Even Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others had guessed what this guy was thinking.
