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

Chapter 389: Cao Cao

Yang Ji couldn't see clearly about Zhao Yun's growth. Every time he saw Zhao Yun, he felt that Zhao Yun was stronger than the last time. It was not a one-sided strengthening, but an all-round strengthening.

Although Yang Ji was somewhat unable to see clearly Guan Yu's growth trajectory and could not figure out what Guan Yu's divine will was, Yang Ji had already anticipated Guan Yu's growth. Even when Guan Yu received the big gift package given by Yang Ji in advance, Yang Ji knew what Guan Yu would become in the future.

Yang Ji had no doubt that Guan Yu could reach the top of martial arts, even the Golden Elixir and even the Holy Song. After all, he was the Martial Saint Guan Yu, and the faith in him for thousands of years was not useless.

However, Yang Ji could not see clearly Guan Yu's military achievements. According to common sense, Guan Yu was at best Huangfu Song on the will side. At most, he took half a step further than Huangfu Song and embarked on the path of becoming a military god, but he could not take the other half step completely.

However, that is just Guan Yu in the common sense. The spiritual will and personal beliefs of this world can ultimately change reality. As long as you want and have the power to change reality, the world will respond to your will. That power is called a miracle.

And the Guan Yu in this world truly possesses the power called miracles. Perhaps Guan Yu can really walk his own military path just like he did in martial arts, jump out of the Three Realms and not be in the Five Elements. No one can say for sure.

But Zhao Yun is different. Zhao Yun is really omnipotent. Not the kind of omnipotence like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, but omnipotence in another sense. Not only is he proficient in both civil and military affairs, he also has good moral character. He is also a sunny, cheerful, modest and gentle boy who never ages.

There is no need to say much about his achievements in martial arts. Anyway, Zhao Yun must have a place among the top few warriors in the world. If Zhao Yun's name is not on the list, your list must be a fake list, which was made up by a bumpkin who has never seen the flawless Zhao Yun.

Although Zhao Yun, as a civil official, cannot be compared with the top group of people, he is definitely at the first-rate level below the top. If we only talk about farming, Zhao Yun must be among the top ones.

As a military general, Yang Ji didn't know whether Zhao Yun had crossed the barrier of commanding the large army at this time, but based on Yang Ji's understanding of Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun should have touched that barrier now, and there would be absolutely no problem for him to command 40,000 to 50,000 troops to fight.

Moreover, Zhao Yun's training skills are still very good. It is known that Zhao Yun can now stably train the double-talented Baima Yicong and Ruishi Corps. Perhaps the double-talented Danyang elite can also be trained. After all, the 60,000 Danyang elites in the Xuzhou camp were formed under Zhao Yun's supervision. Yang Ji didn't believe that Zhao Yun didn't have any understanding. That was Zhao Yun, how could he not have any understanding?

As for whether Zhao Yun has mastered other dual-talent training techniques, Yang Ji doesn't know, but Yang Ji believes that he has. As I said, he is Zhao Yun. Do you believe anyone else or Zhao Yun?

There is no need to talk about Zhao Yun’s other skills. All you need to know is that Zhao Yun is an all-round military general who also works as a civil official, although Zhao Yun is almost making the profession of civil official his main profession.

"How can this guy Xuande be so shameless?" Cao Cao couldn't help but curse. He really wanted to report to God that someone was cheating. How could anyone draw two color cards in a row, and several top-level gold cards with the qualifications to transform into color cards?
Unfortunately, reality is sometimes illogical, and only failed authors will look for logic in novels.

Yang Ji glanced at Cao Cao who was talking nonsense, but this time Yang Ji would pretend not to hear it. If he heard Cao Cao say such words again next time, he would make sure Cao Cao would remember what he said forever.

"So, this is the plan. Zhicai will stay with Zilong to help watch out for those people's schemes, and the rest of you will follow me to Guangling. Is there anything else you need to add?" Yang Ji summarized the plan and asked Xi Zhicai and others.

"It's gone, it's gone..." Perhaps frightened by Yang Ji's look just now, Cao Cao hurriedly replied and wiped the sweat from his face.

"I didn't ask you." Yang Ji glanced at Cao Cao again. It seemed that this guy had realized what he had just said. And was the sweat on his face serious? Why was there so much sweat? He didn't seem to have said anything about Cao Cao's speech just now, right?

Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and others looked at Cao Cao, who was sweating profusely, and shook their heads. It seemed that Cao Cao had been living too well under Liu Bei's rule these days, and he could even say such things without thinking. No wonder Chen Xi would target Cao Cao from time to time. If he didn't squeeze Cao Cao from time to time and remind him of his current situation, who knows what Cao Cao would do.

Cao Cao was embarrassed by being squeezed by Yang Ji. He looked at Xi Zhicai and others with some difficulty, signaling with his eyes that they should save him!
"Well, Zi Yu, I have no objection to your arrangement, but can you let me be the vanguard and lead an army to Guangling first?" Cheng Yu stood up and said to Yang Ji with fiery eyes. He had long wanted to be a vanguard.

Yang Ji raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you want to lead the vanguard to Guangling now? At this time when the Qingzhou navy has not arrived, no one will help stop the Jiangxia navy." Because they came in a hurry, the Qingzhou navy on Gan Ning's side did not follow Yang Ji. This is also the main reason why Yang Ji set the time of dispatching troops three days later.

If there was no navy to help resist the Jiangxia navy, it would be almost impossible for Yang Ji to cross the river. If it was a small river, Yang Ji could think of a way, but that was the Yangtze River, although that section was the Jingkou ferry.

When Cheng Yu heard Yang Ji mention the Jiangxia navy under Sun Ce's command, his face darkened. Without the Qingzhou navy to restrain them, he really had no way to deal with the Jiangxia navy.

"At worst, I won't cross the river. Didn't Zhou Yu build a defense line on the north bank? It should be okay for me to destroy those defense lines, right?" Cheng Yu's eyes turned and he found a new target. Zhou Yu didn't just station troops on the south bank, he also built a lot of defense lines on the north bank.

If Zhou Yu had not crossed the Yangtze River to build a defense line on the north bank, Liu Bei and his men would not have directly transferred Yang Ji to Xuzhou. Zhou Yu's act of building a defense line on the north bank was a de facto declaration of war.

"Five thousand people are not enough for you to break the north bank's defense line." Yang Ji shook his head. Although Zhou Yu's camp was on the south bank, because of the presence of the Jiangxia navy, Zhou Yu could reinforce the north bank's defense line at any time.

Cheng Yu gritted his teeth, but had to admit Yang Ji's statement. Because of the existence of Jiangxia navy, he might not be able to break through the north bank defense line with only 5,000 people.

"Then what do you think we should do? Should we send the vanguard?" Cheng Yu said unhappily. The vanguard must be sent, but what to do after sending it out needs to be carefully considered. "Of course we should send it. Not only should we send it, but we should also attack the enemy's defensive line built on the north bank in a big way." Yang Ji didn't pay attention to Cheng Yu's tone, but instead brought up the suggestion Cheng Yu had just mentioned.

"..." Cheng Yu frowned and looked at Yang Ji, not quite understanding what Yang Ji wanted to say. He was the one who just said that the north bank defense line should not be attacked, and now this guy said that he should attack the north bank defense line again. What on earth is he thinking?

"Oh, I forgot just now that the 65,000 soldiers led by Zhou Gongjin are basically Jiangdong infantry recruited and converted from Jiangdong. They are a single-talent legion trained by Zhou Gongjin with the help of hundreds of Danyang elites." Yang Ji said lightly.

As for the Jiangdong infantry, although they were trained by Zhou Yu based on the elite troops of Danyang, apart from the 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers led by Xiang Yu and the Danyang soldiers, which regional troops were there, were there any other infantry or cavalry corps that could be used?

Therefore, Yang Ji felt that as long as Cheng Yu was fast enough and could dismantle the north bank defense line before Zhou Yu led the army to arrive, he could still complete the mission of the vanguard army. After all, the Jiangdong infantry stationed on the north bank defense line also had single talent, and they were Jiangdong infantry with single cooperation talent.

Although Zhou Yu built a defense line on the north bank, his army camp was still on the south bank. After all, building a defense line on the north bank was a de facto declaration of war. However, Zhou Yu knew very well that his troops could not capture Xuzhou. The reason why he stationed troops in Danxi (Zhenjiang) area was just to cooperate with Jizhou's actions in Xuzhou.

It was based on such a simple idea that Zhou Yu set up his camp on the south bank to prevent the Jiangxia navy from being pinned down by the Qingzhou navy and his side from being forced down the Yangtze River by the Xuzhou army. He did not have the ability to fight a desperate battle like the Marquis of Huaiyin.

Although he is now leading a legion with a talent for cooperation, it is converted from the Jiangdong infantry. Although Zhou Yu has not yet specifically realized the big pitfalls of the Jiangdong infantry in land warfare, Zhou Yu's intuition tells him that it is best not to use the Jiangdong infantry to fight this kind of high-intensity positional warfare that requires huge pressure.

Otherwise, you won’t even know how you lost.

"Jiangdong infantry? What's wrong with Jiangdong infantry?" Cheng Yu was a little puzzled when he heard this. This guy Yang Ji also has regional discrimination?

Although Zhou Yu only has 65,000 single-talent legions, even if there are problems with the Jiangdong infantry, they are still regular troops. Under the command of a large legion commander, they can burst out with terrible combat power as a group.

Although Cheng Yu didn't know whether Zhou Yu had broken through the barrier of commanding a large army, Yang Ji also said that Zhou Yu was a talented guy and might have broken through during the battle.

"Don't you know the flaws of Jiangdong's infantry?" Yang Ji was still a little surprised. The Han Dynasty had been around for so many years, didn't anyone notice the flaws of Jiangdong's infantry?
"The flaws of Jiangdong's infantry? What's going on?" Cheng Yu asked with a frown. Even at his age, he had never heard of the flaws of Jiangdong's infantry. Instead, the powerful archers of Jiangdong were well-known.

"What should I say?" Yang Ji had a headache and didn't know how to explain the situation of the Jiangdong infantry to them.

"Forget it, just treat it as a psychological problem of the Jiangdong infantry, that they can't fight a tough battle." Yang Ji shook his head. Although he had better adjectives, it was better not to allow such things as regional discrimination to occur.

"Of course, I'm talking about the Jiangdong infantry, not the Jiangdong archers. The Jiangdong archers are still very powerful. When they have enough arrows, the rain of arrows they shoot can penetrate every hole." Yang Ji added one more point. It is possible to criticize the Jiangdong infantry, but it is not possible to criticize the Jiangdong archers, because the Jiangdong archers are really awesome.

"Psychological problems, can't fight hard battles?" Cheng Yu's head was full of question marks. He could understand not being able to fight hard battles. But what kind of problem is psychological problem?

"In other words, if the Jiangdong infantry are not given the fearless talent, they will just be giving merit to the enemy." Yang Ji explained it again, and Cheng Yu should be able to understand it now.

"Hey, why don't you just say that Jiangdong's infantry can't withstand pressure? Is there any need to use these professional terms that we can't understand?" Cheng Yu complained to Yang Ji.

Although the word psychology was mentioned in the paper published by Taishan Medical College in the academy journal, the two great doctors Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo had not done any research on this, so they just wrote down what they had learned from Chen Xi and Yang Ji and added their own understanding.

How can we expect others to understand a subject that even two great medical masters do not fully understand?

Poor ability to withstand pressure... Yang Ji was silent for a while. It seemed that this word was quite suitable to describe the Jiangdong infantry. Although it could not describe all the defects of the Jiangdong military system except the Danyang soldiers, it was enough to describe some of them.

"Yes, the Jiangdong infantry under Zhou Gongjin's command cannot withstand pressure, so when you lead your troops to attack the north bank defense line, just remember to use some intimidating solidified Xuanxiang or secret techniques, which should be very effective at that time." Yang Ji suggested to Cheng Yu. He also disassembled a lot of Xuanxiang formations and secret techniques from Zhang Fei's legion talents.

"The intimidating solidified Xuan Xiang and secret techniques..." Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and nodded, "Don't worry, I will test their ability to withstand pressure when the time comes." Cheng Yu thought he had figured out why Yang Ji asked him to use the intimidating Xuan Xiang and secret techniques.

Yang Ji opened his mouth. This was not what he meant. "Forget it. As long as you are happy." Yang Ji did not want to talk anymore. Anyway, Cheng Yu would know what he meant by then.

Although Cheng Yu was a little confused, since Yang Ji had agreed, he could just act according to his own ideas when the time came. The final result would be the same anyway.
