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

Chapter 390: Lord Cao, you have been decadent for a long time, it’s time to stand up!

Three days later, in the Xuzhou camp where the army had already assembled, Zhao Yun turned to Yang Ji and asked, "Zi Yu, how far do you plan to fight this battle?"

With Yang Ji's ability, plus 60,000 elite Danyang troops, it is not impossible to break through Zhou Yu's north bank defense line, cross the Yangtze River and attack Yangzhou, or even directly capture Yangzhou except Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, Yuzhang County, or add a Danyang County.

Although Zhou Yu had occupied the entire territory of Yangzhou, he had only occupied it for a short time, so it was impossible for him to replace all the local officials with his own people. Let alone whether Zhou Yu had so many people, even if he did, he could not subdue all the local people in Yangzhou so quickly. It would take time. After all, Yangzhou was so close to Xuzhou, and many people here admired the life in Xuzhou.

But let’s not talk about Jiujiang County and Lujiang County mentioned above. After all, they are the enemy’s base camps that have been operating in Yangzhou for so long. What’s more, they are also connected to Yuzhou and Jingzhou. If Yang Ji wants to take them down, it will not be such an easy task.

As for Yuzhang County, that is the place where Zhou Yu can command the Jiangxia navy and show his prowess. After the last naval battle with Gan Ning, Zhou Yu must have prepared a trump card to deal with the Qingzhou navy this time, otherwise he would not be Zhou Yu.

As for Danyang County, Zhou Yu was determined to capture it, even if he had to fight a big battle with Yang Ji, for the sake of the Danyang soldiers, who were an outlier among the Jiangdong infantry.

If Zhou Yu had not relied on the large number of people on his side, he might not have been able to capture Danyang County. The local governor actually took out a 5,000-man double-talented Danyang elite. Can you believe it? However, this Danyang elite now belongs to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.

It was precisely because of the acquisition of this dual-talented elite Danyang force that Zhou Yu began to truly value Danyang County. However, due to the local living habits, the local county magistrate casually took out a dual-talented army of 5,000 people, which made Zhou Yu unable to ignore.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Danyang soldiers was not particularly outstanding, their ability to coordinate was extremely strong. Zhou Yu had witnessed this as early as when he used hundreds of Danyang veterans to rebuild the Jiangdong infantry.

Although the legions he has trained now are basically all Jiangdong infantry with single talents, and Jiangdong infantry with poor pressure-bearing ability, the difference in combat effectiveness between those with elite talents and those without elite talents is a qualitative change.

At that time, the new recruits will be sent to Danyang County to live for a few months, and then Zhou Yu will be able to obtain a regular soldier who has been instilled with the talent for cooperation. He will then conduct unified training to derive elite talents.

Zhou Yu had a plan in mind. If they could withstand Yang Ji's attack, Sun Wu would have a super camp that could continuously produce single-talent legions. How could Zhou Yu let it go?

Hearing Zhao Yun's question, Yang Ji thought for a moment and said, "The initial plan is to take Danyang County and Wu County first, and then we can fight the rest if we can. If we can't, we will let Zhou Gongjin take over the management. We will take those places back when we are free."

"Danyang County and Wu County are the two targets?" Zhao Yun frowned, and then relaxed. He already knew why Yang Ji was targeting Danyang County and Wu County.

The Danyang Elite are the special regional troops of Danyang County. Although we don’t know which military strategist created the Danyang Elite, even if some stupid Han emperor disbanded other powerful armies, he would not disband the Danyang Elite. This is the special status of the Danyang Elite in the Han Dynasty.

Although Zhou Yu successfully integrated and took over Yuan Shu's forces through some unknown means, it certainly left behind many hidden dangers. Zhou Yu was forced to come to support the internal unrest in Xuzhou, which was one of the manifestations of these hidden dangers.

The Danyang elite produced by Danyang County is one of the key nodes for Zhou Yu to eliminate these hidden dangers. Although the troops under Yuan Shu are now willing to obey the command of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, there are still many hidden hands of many families among them.

Therefore, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce must cultivate their own true troops within a certain period of time. Otherwise, after this period of time, who knows whether those aristocratic families will, for some reason, directly activate the secret forces they have buried in various military and political departments to eliminate Sun Ce's forces or undermine the power of Sun Ce's forces. These methods are what those aristocratic families are very good at.

Therefore, the Danyang elite are very important to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. They are the key to Sun Ce's rapid training of his own troops. Although the single-talented regular soldiers rendered by the Danyang elite are relatively weak among the single-talented regular soldiers of the Han princes.

But with Zhou Yu, things were different. After Zhou Yu's command bonus, the originally weak single-talent legion could not suppress the Yuzhou legion head-on, but it could also compete with it. If Zhou Yu's command could be a little stronger, maybe he could push the Yuzhou legion back.

Therefore, Danyang County is very important to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. It is the key to whether Sun Ce can gain the dominant position in his own forces in the future.

However, Zhou Yu did not have to take over Danyang County. After all, he had already obtained a 5,000-man double-talented Danyang elite from Danyang County, and continued to recruit more Danyang soldiers in Danyang County, or it should be called migration. After all, people are the core key.

Danyang County is not a barracks building in the game, where you only need to invest resources and click to mass produce Danyang elites. It is because of the people living here that Danyang elites are produced. Zhou Yu is very clear about this, so he will try to move the people of Danyang County to other places.

However, Zhou Yu cannot use force in Danyang County, because if he angers the people of Danyang County, they may be able to conjure up hundreds of thousands or even more troops for him. At that time, even a wise man and commander of Zhou Yu's level will be confused, after all, the talent of cooperation is very strong. Who knows, after the men, women, old and young of Danyang County unite, it will leave Zhou Yu with an unforgettable memory.

As for the reason why Yang Ji set his sights on Wujun, it was very simple. Wujun was Sun Ce's hometown. If Yang Ji occupied Wujun, I wonder what Sun Ce's expression would be?
However, Zhao Yun felt that Yang Ji wanted to occupy Wu County because he wanted to occupy it by the way. That's right, he occupied Wu County by the way when he occupied Danyang County.

Although he didn't know why this idea suddenly came to him, Zhao Yun's intuition told him that among Yang Ji's thoughts, the idea of ​​taking over Wujun by the way might be the majority.

"There is no problem in occupying only Danyang County and Wu County. But what you said about letting Zhou Gongjin manage the other four counties of Jiangdong is what you meant?" Zhao Yun sighed and mentioned Yang Ji's last words.

"That's right, it's what you think." Although Yang Ji was a little confused as to why Zhao Yun asked this question, after all, he had already made it very clear, but Yang Ji still answered Zhao Yun's question, after all, he was Zhao Yun.

"You didn't learn this trick of pulling a rabbit out of nothing from that guy Zichuan, did you?" Zhao Yun looked at Yang Ji, and he felt that Yang Ji's behavior this time seemed to have been seen somewhere before. Yang Ji was stunned for a moment. What did you mean by learning this trick of pulling a rabbit out of nothing from that guy Chen Xi? He obviously... "Yes, I learned it from Zichuan." Yang Ji admitted what Zhao Yun said. After all, he was not lying, and he did learn it from Chen Xi.

"Really?" Zhao Yun looked at Yang Ji suspiciously. Now he suddenly felt that Yang Ji did not learn this trick from Chen Xi. After all, there were so many elite people gathered in the Fenggao Government Affairs Office, and there were a few guys who were particularly good at this kind of operation. Chen Xi could only be counted as one of them.

"I've learned a lot from what I've seen and heard. What do you think?" Yang Ji said with a smile. He did learn from Chen Xi, but not just Chen Xi.

Zhao Yun was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Indeed, after spending so much time with that group of people, I always feel that my heart has become much darker."

Yang Ji's eyes lit up, "You have the same feeling, I thought I was the only one who felt this way." Yang Ji acted very happy, as if he was happy to have found Zhao Yun who was also a victim, and perhaps there was a reason for him to share his distress with others.

"That's right. It's because of the influence of those people in the Government Affairs Office that we have become like this." Zhao Yun nodded. Thinking back to the past, he was such a simple warrior. However, after coming into contact with Chen Xi's group, he has changed.

Cao Cao and others who were following nearby watched Yang Ji and Zhao Yun's performance expressionlessly. Perhaps Yang Ji and Zhao Yun were indeed influenced by those people in the Fenggao Government Affairs Office, but to say that it was all due to the influence of those people, they would have reservations about this. They were all people with awakened spiritual talents, so how could they be easily influenced by others?

……

"Wow, Cheng Zhongde, the vanguard, did a pretty good job." Yang Ji said with some satisfaction as he looked at the dilapidated north bank defense line. Although Cheng Yu did not blow up Zhou Yu's north bank defense line, it was good enough to cause heavy damage. After all, when the Qingzhou Navy did not arrive, Zhou Yu could support the north bank defense line at any time.

"Of course, Zhongde's military strategy and force are very strong." Cao Cao said proudly, as if he was the one who broke the north bank's defense line.

"Yes, yes, Cheng Zhongde's military strategy and martial arts are even better than yours, Cao Gong." Yang Ji said speechlessly. What on earth is Cao Cao doing? Is he trying to show off his presence to him? Doesn't he know who he is?

"..."Cao Cao was directly devastated by Yang Ji's words. Although he knew at a glance that Yang Ji's words were just perfunctory, he found that what Yang Ji said seemed to be true.

Although Yang Ji and Chen Xi both said that he had the qualifications to command a large army, and even he himself felt that he was very strong in commanding a large army, the reality was that Cheng Yu was better than him, both in commanding troops and in martial arts.

There is no other reason, it's simply because Cheng Yu has more experience than Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has never properly commanded a major battle until now.

Although Cheng Yu can command fewer troops than Cao Cao, Cheng Yu is not competing with Cao Cao in command. What Cheng Yu and Cao Cao are competing in is the military situation. At the moment, Cao Cao may not be able to stop Cheng Yu from breaking through the front line.

Yang Ji glanced at Cao Cao, then called to the others: "Let's go and see what Mr. Zhongde thinks about the Jiangdong infantry." After all, Cheng Yu is already over fifty years old, so there is nothing wrong with calling him old gentleman.

Xi Zhicai stepped forward and patted Cao Cao on the shoulder, and said: "Perhaps Lord Cao, you should apply to Lord Xuande for permission to go to the front line to fight. Otherwise, with your current military ability, you really cannot defeat Zhongde." Then Xi Zhicai followed Yang Ji's footsteps. He was quite curious about the situation of the Jiangdong infantry.

Cao Cao, who was awakened by Xi Zhicai, looked at Xi Zhicai with a dull look as he caught up with Yang Ji's footsteps. He was his chief counselor (what about Xun Yu? Could he be the chief civil official?), so how could he catch up with Yang Ji's footsteps so easily?

Chen Qun met Cao Cao's gaze and said shyly: "Lord Cao, I think Zhicai is right. You should indeed apply to Lord Xuande for permission to go to the battlefield, otherwise you won't even be able to defeat General Zixiao." Chen Qun, who turned into an upright boy, stabbed Cao Cao in the chest again, and then followed Zhicai's footsteps. He was also very interested in the Jiangdong infantry.

Seeing that Chen Qun had also followed Yang Ji's footsteps, Cao Cao finally discovered something. He put away the dull look on his face and looked at Cao Ren and Le Jin expressionlessly.

"Zixiao, tell me, I really can't beat you?" Cao Cao's eyes were somewhat fierce, as if he would turn into a lone wolf and bite Cao Ren if Cao Ren said something wrong.

"Brother, if your military command ability is still at its current level, you will most likely not be able to stop Wen Qian and I from breaking through the front line." Cao Ren sighed helplessly. Cao Cao had been corrupt for a long time since his capture.

It’s not that there was anything wrong with Cao Cao practicing his martial arts during the time he was captured, it’s just that Cao Cao was spending his time in the wrong place.

Although Cao Cao has good aptitude in martial arts, he has missed the best time. The reason why he can now possess the internal energy to form Qigong is thanks to Yang Ji's secret technique. However, if he wants to break through and let his internal energy leave his body, he can only wait for some opportunities mentioned by Yang Ji.

During the period when Cao Cao was captured by Yang Ji and brought to accompany Liu Bei, except for certain bottom lines, Liu Bei and Chen Xi did not restrict Cao Cao's actions in Fenggao too much.

In other words, as long as Cao Cao did not intend to rebel against Liu Bei, Liu Bei and Chen Xi planned to let Cao Cao return to the battlefield. After all, Cao Cao's military qualifications were really good.

However, Cao Cao's suspicious character made it difficult for him to believe that Liu Bei would let him take charge of the army again. He suspected that Liu Bei's behavior was a bait, so Cao Cao spent his time resuming martial arts, so as not to implicate others because of his own momentary lapse of judgment.
