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

Chapter 404: Your thoughts are not important, what matters is what others think

"Commander-in-chief, do you think Li Wenda can control those new recruits?" Li Yan said worriedly. Although there were many elite backbones in the front camp, the soldiers were basically infantry recruited from Jiangdong. Li Yan was not optimistic about these soldiers. After all, similar situations had happened before.

"That depends on how much pressure those fantasy soldiers can bring." Zhou Yu said calmly. He certainly knew the flaws of Jiangdong's infantry. Even after Danyang's cooperation, Jiangdong's infantry was still the same as before. At most, it was just an elite talent that could cooperate with each other. It didn't have much effect on Jiangdong's infantry unless they could be given a fearless talent.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu does not have the fearless talent. After all, for normal veterans, the battlefield is a place of life and death. They already have a fearless talent. Why do they need to specifically manifest a fearless talent that wastes the talent bar?

Generally speaking, the elite talent of Fearlessness is basically used on mounts to prevent the mounts from being frightened due to certain accidents on the battlefield. The human legion can rely on the various cool operations of the legion commander to soothe their emotions.

Of course, a commander who can soothe the restlessness of the legion is already considered a good general, while the other commanders who cannot calm down seem to have no other options except to join.

Back to the matter of the Jiangdong infantry, although Zhou Yu was unable to train out the elite talent of fearlessness, he believed that Sun Ce could train it. With Sun Ce's courage and character, even if what was trained out was not fearlessness, it would be other elite talents with similar effects.

Looking at Zhou Yu's calm expression, Li Yan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Zhou Yu really has a way to solve the problem of Jiangdong's infantry's cowardice?

"Let's go and see what level of phantom warriors the other side has." Zhou Yu ignored Li Yan's inquiring gaze and still looked indifferent, as if nothing was beyond his expectations.

Li Yan followed Zhou Yu's footsteps unconsciously. Zhou Yu's calm and indifferent look made it easy for people to believe that everything was under his control. Although he knew that many things happening now were out of Zhou Yu's control, Zhou Yu's calm and confident look made it hard for people not to believe in Zhou Yu.

Soon, Li Yan followed Zhou Yu to the front camp and found Li Tong who was commanding the troops to encircle and suppress the enemy's phantom soldiers. Now the phantom soldiers have been compressed into an area. If there are no variables, all of them can be strangled in half an hour.

If those sneak attacking troops were not phantom warriors who were not afraid of death at all, it would take Li Tong less than half an hour to strangle them all.

"General..." Li Tong saluted to Zhou Yu with some shame. He was ordered to stay in the front camp, but he didn't even notice that the enemy had infiltrated the camp. He only realized that the enemy had infiltrated the camp after the enemy began to cause chaos.

"Wenda, don't make things difficult for yourself. This sneak attack is not your fault. It's just that the enemy's methods are too strange. Even if it were me, I wouldn't be able to prevent it in advance." Zhou Yu sighed and waved his hand to tell Li Tong not to blame himself. Who would have thought that the opponent could use such a strange delivery method.

"Yeah." Li Tong was silent for a while, and then nodded. He was not willing to trap himself in it. He was just shocked by the opponent's weird methods. It was too terrifying to be able to send an army to the center of the enemy out of thin air.

After seeing Li Tong nod, Zhou Yu stopped comforting Li Tong. Even if Li Tong was just trying to please him, Zhou Yu believed that Li Tong would get over his self-blame.

Zhou Yu looked at the phantom soldier who was still struggling. This was the first time he saw a phantom soldier. He had only seen related descriptions in books before, but he didn't expect to see it here.

Zhou Yu looked at the phantom soldiers with an inexplicable glimmer in his pupils, intending to see through the underlying structure of the phantom soldiers through some special means. Since the Jiangdong infantry were afraid, then controlling the puppets to fight in the rear was also a good choice.

-

"Tsk, it's really too hasty." Looking at the last phantom soldier disappearing, Yang Ji said a little unhappily that he would definitely add another training on puppet manipulation after returning.

"Are you still not satisfied?" Cheng Yu grinned, thinking that Yang Ji was too greedy. He exchanged five thousand free-of-cost phantom warriors for two thousand casualties of the enemy, and now he wanted something more from the soldiers who had just come into contact with the phantom warriors?

"I'm not dissatisfied. I'm just thinking about whether I should add a training course on puppet manipulation after I go back." Yang Ji shook his head. Gathering the phantom soldiers and then moving them to Zhou Yu's camp was just a whim. It was already good to have a harvest of 2,000. What was there to be dissatisfied about?

"I say, you are not really planning to add puppet manipulation as one of the training subjects, are you?" Cheng Yu was a little impatient. One or two fantasy warrior units would be enough. It would be fine if it was promoted to the entire army. Not everyone could be as proficient in fantasy warriors as Yang Ji. No matter what type of elite talent it was, there was always a degree of compatibility.

Before refining talents, there is no need to worry about the compatibility between individual and elite talents. After all, there is a collective will to support it. As long as the legion structure is not broken and the elite talents are not collapsed, the relevant elite talents can be mastered no matter what.

As for whether it can be smelted, that depends on the compatibility between the individual and the elite talent. After all, smelting talent is the behavior of the individual seeking to control the elite talent. This is the main reason why some people can quickly master the smelting of a talent while others cannot.

"Well, it shouldn't happen. After all, Lord Xuande will reject this proposal." Yang Ji touched the tip of his nose. Although Liu Bei trusted Yang Ji very much, he would still reject this kind of proposal which was obviously nonsense.

Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Cao Cao and others twitched their lips when they heard this. No wonder Liu Bei was responsible for reviewing Yang Ji's military plans. It turned out that this was the reason.

"General, the quivers we brought with us have been emptied, and we only severely damaged one manned warship." Chen Dao walked over and reported to Yang Ji.

"A ship was seriously damaged?" Yang Ji looked at Chen Dao curiously, then turned his head to look at the fleet slowly retreating on the river. Sure enough, he saw a half-sunken warship. Jiang Qin was commanding the soldiers on some warships to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water, and some warships were planning to salvage the sinking warships. They were not like the Qingzhou fleet, which had a complete shipyard behind it to support it, so they did not care about the sinking of a warship.

"It's really worthy of being a veteran naval fleet. The sailors on it are basically elite." Yang Ji sighed. He had already guessed about the gains of the Bai Li soldiers. After all, one of the main combat methods of the navy these days is bows and arrows. The soldiers of the Jiangxia navy must have done a lot of research on how to defend against arrows.

Although Yang Ji had locked the will of the Bai Li soldiers, the power of their arrows was not particularly strong. Even with the added bonus of charging, it was still manageable for the Jiangxia navy's soldiers. After all, the bows in the hands of the Bai Li soldiers were only two-stone bows. How much power could they store even if they charged more?
The reason why Chen Dao was able to severely damage a warship was probably because he concentrated his firepower and specifically attacked a warship. No matter how powerful the skills of those sailors were, they could not deal with several arrows at the same time, right? Although the disturbance of the repulsive field was still effective, facing the Bai Li soldiers with the blessing of will lock, the repulsive corps at the double-talent level could not completely modify the flight trajectory of all arrows. After all, the Bai Li soldiers could act as a double-talented archer corps, not to mention that Jiang Qin only had one repulsive corps, and it was a bit difficult to protect so many warships.

"Okay, take them back to rest. I guess there won't be any big movements in the north and south in the next few days." Yang Ji said to Chen Dao. In the next few days, Zhou Yu needed to appease the morale, and they needed to wait for the arrival of Gan Ning's Qingzhou fleet.

"Yes." Chen Dao responded to Yang Ji, then turned and walked towards the Bai Li soldiers. It was indeed as Yang Ji said, they needed a good rest. All the things they had been doing were very physically demanding.

"Let's go back and discuss the next battle plan." Yang Ji greeted Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and others.

Yang Ji would not underestimate Zhou Yu's ability, even though he knew that his military ability was stronger than Zhou Yu's. However, in addition to military command, Zhou Yu was also a top wise man with awakened spiritual talents. There were only a few people in the entire Han Dynasty who could compete with Zhou Yu in this regard.

To be honest, if it is just a matter of military command, Zhou Yu is no match for Yang Ji. However, war is not only about military command, but also involves many other aspects.

-

"Report, the Navy Chief has arrived at the camp gate and is waiting for the general's pass." A messenger walked into the tent and reported to Yang Ji.

"Oh, Xingba is finally here. I've been waiting for him for so many days. How many people did he bring?" Yang Ji looked at the messenger. How could Gan Ning just stay and hold back the Jiangxia navy? He must have some strange idea and wanted to communicate with Yang Ji.

"General Gan brought about three hundred people." the messenger replied.

"Three hundred people?" Cao Cao and Cheng Yu looked at each other. Last time, Gan Ning led three hundred people to burn Yuan Shao's granary, and extremely boldly rushed into Yuan Shao's camp with three hundred people to kidnap Yuan Shao. Although he failed to kidnap Yuan Shao, he cut off Yuan Shao's flag.

It can be said that Gan Ning was one of the important reasons why Yuan Shao was defeated so badly at Jie Bridge last time. If Gan Ning hadn't burned Yuan Shao's food, who knows how long Yuan Shao would have confronted Yang Ji at Jie Bridge. Yuan Shao was very resilient when facing a disadvantage.

"Three hundred people? Ha, could Gan Xingba be trying to repeat his previous operation?" Yang Ji shook his head and laughed. Gan Ning was not the kind of person who only had one trick up his sleeve. He must have other ideas.

"Let's go and see what surprise our naval chief has brought us." Yang Ji greeted Cao Cao and the others, then took the lead to walk out of the tent and head to the camp gate to see what Gan Ning was trying to do. He actually appeared at the camp gate openly, as if he was afraid that the scouts on the south bank would not discover him.

Cao Cao and his companions followed Yang Ji's footsteps. They were also very curious about Gan Ning's purpose. On what basis could Gan Ning appear openly in the sight of the other side?

-

"Xingba, do we really not need to conceal our presence? The scouts on the other side must have spotted us." Taishi Ci glanced at the bushes in the distance, turned his head and said to Gan Ning.

"No need. It would also be a considerable psychological pressure for the other side to know of our existence." Gan Ning shook his head and said. This was also the main reason why he appeared in front of Yang Ji's camp openly.

They don't have to do much to make the commander on the other side have wild thoughts and put pressure on themselves, which is a good thing.

"Ah?" Taishi Ci was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Gan Ning's purpose of not concealing his whereabouts was this. He thought that Gan Ning had come up with some wonderful idea again.

It’s not Taishi Ci’s fault for thinking too much. The main reason is that Gan Ning’s thinking is simply not something that ordinary people can understand. Who knows whether some of Gan Ning’s abnormal actions will affect himself. Yuan Shao said that he could speak from his own experience.

"Xingba, apart from this, you really have no other ideas?" Yang Ji walked straight to Gan Ning and asked, deeply suspecting that Gan Ning had not told the whole story.

"General, why don't you believe me? I really don't have any other ideas except wanting them to have wild thoughts." Gan Ning bowed to Yang Ji and said helplessly. Why do some people always feel that some magical ideas pop up in their minds every moment?

"You are Gan Xingba who dared to lead a hundred riders to rob the camp. Even if you tell others in person that you have no other ideas, do you think they will believe you?" Yang Ji rolled his eyes. Ever since the incident of a hundred riders robbed the camp, who would dare to look down on this silly-looking guy?

As the next head of the Gan family in Yizhou, who would believe that Gan Ning knows nothing? Is he looking down on the education of children from aristocratic families?
"But I really don't have any other ideas now." Gan Ning spread his hands to indicate that he really had no other ideas. Believe it or not, he really had no other ideas now.

"Now?" Yang Ji understood Gan Ning's subtext. Just because he didn't have any other ideas now didn't mean he wouldn't have any later.

"Okay, if you say there is no truth, then there is no truth. It's fine as long as other people believe it." Yang Ji said indifferently. Gan Ning's wonderful idea could not be used on him anyway.
