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

Chapter 441 The water here is too deep, you can’t control it!
"General Guan knows very well what he is doing." Jia Xu said calmly. Having worked with Guan Yu and others for such a long time, Jia Xu should have understood these people's personalities.

Guo Jia could not deny Jia Xu's judgment, but just looked at Chen Xi, "Zichuan, what about you, what do you think?"

Chen Xi thought for a moment and said, "Second Master will most likely agree to Third Brother's suggestion, but there is a greater probability that they will invite Zi Yu back from the south to take charge. After all, after Shouchun City is captured, there won't be any troublesome guys left among the southern princes. Then we can let Wen Ru and Wen Ze take on the responsibility together."

Given Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's loyalty to Liu Bei, how could they not be a little agitated when they saw Liu Bei's slight disappointment? If they were not responsible for the lives and successes of their officers and Liu Bei, they would not have thought so much.

"What do you mean?" Guo Jia turned his head to look at Jia Xu and said with a little pride. When it comes to familiarity with Guan Yu, except for Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Chen Xi and Yang Ji, he is the best in the entire Liu Bei's rule.

Hearing Chen Xi's words, Jia Xu frowned and thought, if Chen Xi said so, given Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's personalities, it seems that they would really do so.

"If Zi Yu can resolve the issues in the south in a short period of time, catch up with this battle, and take command of the central army, this plan will be feasible to a certain extent." Jia Xu said slowly. He did not trust the abilities of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but trusted Yang Ji's control over the battle situation.

In such a major battle that concerns the future destiny, compared with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who are still in the humanitarian realm, Yang Ji, who has already achieved enlightenment in an alternative way, is more trustworthy.

Given Jia Xu's usual cautious character, he did not agree at the beginning to let Guan Yu be the commander-in-chief. His suggestion was to wait for Yang Ji to resolve the issues in the south, and then have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao after he had time.

However, Chen Xi proposed, Guo Jia and Liu Ye agreed, Li You didn't care, Lu Su and others agreed to proceed cautiously but remained neutral. Finally, Liu Bei made the final decision to let Guan Yu take charge of the overall command, and people like Jia Xu who opposed it had no choice.

Of course, what shook Jia Xu's will was Yang Ji's consent. When the decision was made and conveyed to Yang Ji, Yang Ji did not show any opposition to it. He just calmly signed and sealed his name, agreeing to Liu Bei's arrangement.

Since Yang Ji did not object, it means that Yang Ji believed that Guan Yu’s current military command ability was sufficient to win the decisive battle between Liu and Yuan.

Yang Ji's agreement is the main reason why opponents like Jia Xu remain silent.

Although Guan Yu is not yet a match for Huangfu Song in military command, among the current princes of the Han Dynasty, commanding a large army is actually enough to sweep the world, especially when Liu Bei's basic strength crushes the other princes.

"According to the original plan, Ziyu's only strategic targets are Yuzhou and Jingzhou." Guo Jia paused and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with this war in a short time."

"You also said that Zi Yu has no way of getting away to participate in the decisive battle in the north in a short period of time, so let's use the conventional combat plan and don't use any strange strategies. It's not like we can't win." Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia and said.

Although he often resorted to some crooked methods, who would want to resort to those crooked methods if they could be safe? It was just to save trouble and time.

For a moment, Guo Jia was silent. He actually supported Zhang Fei's suggestion. After all, it could quickly end the decisive battle between Liu and Yuan and then prepare for the war against the Northern Huns.

However, operations like cutting off the enemy's cloud nodes and collapsing the enemy's cloud are really not something that ordinary people can do. These ordinary people refer to those who have already stepped into the threshold of commanding a large army.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and Ju Yi is not an easy person to deal with. Although he is strong in commanding a large army, he is not invincible. He may still be able to be penetrated by generals who are not in command of a large army. If Ju Yi seizes the opportunity, they may be overturned in a few consecutive moves.

It's not that Liu Bei can't afford to lose, but after losing this time, not only will Yuan Shao have a chance to catch his breath, disrupting their previous plans, but it will also affect the subsequent war in the northern border.

"Did you ignore what I just said?" Chen Xi said with some dissatisfaction. These two guys only heard that Yang Ji was going to continue attacking Yuzhou and Jingzhou, but they ignored his words that Li You and Yu Jin could take over this matter.

"What's the matter?" Guo Jia asked with some confusion. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Chen Xi has nothing to do except that Yang Ji will continue to stay in the south to attack Yuzhou and Jingzhou, right?
Although Jia Xu next to him didn't say anything, it could be seen from his eyes that he didn't listen carefully to what Chen Xi said just now.

Chen Xi's forehead showed a "hash mark" and he gritted his teeth and said, "I suggest that Wenru and Wenze take over Ziyu's job and let him come here to command the central army."

Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other. It seemed that Chen Xi's proposal was quite appropriate. After all, Shouchun City had been conquered by Yang Ji. Among the remaining princes in the south who were worth considering, there were only Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Shi Xie of Jiaozhou.

However, these two are the Han princes who need to worry the least. After all, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang is a relative of the Han royal family. By then, he can recapture Yizhou with just a letter of proclamation.

As for Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou, this place is far away from the emperor and is difficult to attack, but there are only a few places in Jiaozhou where people can live. When the time comes, we can just send the Qingzhou fleet over there. Maybe we can even extort a few civil officials from the governor of Jiaozhou.

"Don't be stupid, Zichuan. It's impossible to ask Ziyu to give up the plan to attack the south at this time." Guo Jia sneered and shook his head. It is impossible to let Li You and Yu Jin take over Yang Ji's mission and continue to attack Yuzhou and Jingzhou.

Yang Ji has already been asked to give up his position as the commander-in-chief of the Liu-Yuan decisive battle. Now, Yang Ji is being removed from the position of commander-in-chief of the southern offensive and placed in the central army of the Liu-Yuan decisive battle. What does this mean?
Could it be that Guan Yu should be removed from his position as the commander-in-chief of the decisive battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shikai and Yang Ji should take over? What was the purpose of going around in circles before, and where would Guan Yu's face be saved?

Hearing Guo Jia's sneer, Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then he understood why Guo Jia said he was stupid. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he knew that Yang Ji would not care about these things, others did care.

Moreover, recalling Yang Ji back to the north was also unfair to Yang Ji. He had worked so hard to turn the situation around in the south, but you turned around and picked the fruits that were about to ripen. The total amount of greed was really ugly.

"Forget it, I'll go tell the second master and third brother, so that they won't really go find Zi Yu." Chen Xi said with a wry smile. After waving to Guo Jia and Jia Xu, he planned to leave here to look for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Please." Guo Jia and Jia Xu did not stop Chen Xi and let him go. Although their original idea was not to interfere with this matter and let it develop freely, in this situation, they still let Chen Xi stop it. ...

Although Zhang Fei's suggestion came to nothing, Chen Xi still described the matter in full to Yang Ji in a letter, even though he knew that Yang Ji would not care about such things.

Regarding this matter, Yang Ji just shook his head and put down the letter that Chen Xi had sent. He had already told them what he meant, and he didn't care about these things.

However, since other people care about these things, he won't say much and will just wait and see.

"What did Zichuan's letter say?" Zhuge Liang looked at the letter that Yang Ji put down with some curiosity. Of course, he was curious about what new orders the letter brought.

"Nothing, just told me some interesting things over there and asked us to continue with our plans here." Yang Ji said calmly.

"Interesting things?" Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows. If it was really an interesting story, Chen Xi would not write it in the letter, but would choose to tell it in person. According to Chen Xi, watching other people's reactions is the fun of telling these interesting stories.

"Second Master and Third Brother were very interested in my previous method of cutting off the enemy's cloud energy and wanted to replicate it there. In the end, the matter was left unresolved." Yang Ji shrugged. He did not expect Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to have such thoughts.

Long before he was sure that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were unable to understand the enemy's cloud energy without shaking the enemy's cloud energy foundation, Yang Ji had given up hope that others could replicate this tactic. Now he was just confirming this again.

Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were really bold. However, if it were these two, they should be able to do it. For some reason, Zhuge Liang had an inexplicable trust in these two.

"Why did this matter end up in nothing?" Zhuge Liang asked puzzledly. He also felt that this tactic was very useful. Although this tactic was too risky for others, it was effective.

As long as it can be completed, not to mention capturing the enemy commander, it is still very easy to win a big victory. After all, there is a difference between having or not having the blessing of cloud energy and having elite talents.

"The water here is too deep, they can't control it." Yang Ji said with some regret. If Guan Yu could shake the cloud foundation of Yuan army, he would definitely suggest Guan Yu to use this trick. Unfortunately, Guan Yu can't do it now.

Zhuge Liang deeply agreed with Yang Ji's statement. The water here was indeed too deep and small shrimps like them could not grasp it. Although it was a bit surprising that Zhuge Liang could not grasp the commander of a large army like Guan Yu, after all, the commander of a large army like Guan Yu could be considered a big fish.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. We have rested in Shouchun City for a few days. It's time to set off for Yuzhou." Yang Ji put down his teacup and said to Zhuge Liang.

After conquering Shouchun City, Yang Ji handed over all affairs in the city to Zhuge Liang to deal with, and asked Cao Cao and Cheng Yu to cooperate with Zhuge Liang's actions. He himself led his troops to the Shouchun government office, staring at those aristocratic families, and at the same time integrating the Shouchun defenders who were in chaos due to the aristocratic families in the city.

This time, Yang Ji would select 30,000 soldiers from them to supplement his troops, plus the 10,000 soldiers previously selected from Zhou Yu's army, to make up a total of 100,000 troops, and then enter Yuzhou to join Yu Jin.

"You are in such a hurry, but the affairs in the city have not been sorted out yet?" Zhuge Liang was surprised. He thought that Yang Ji would stay in Shouchun for a long time. After all, after taking Shouchun, there would be no one left among the southern princes who could fight.

"Didn't Yuan Gonglu be invited back from Yuzhou by Sun Bofu? Just leave the task of reorganizing the affairs of Shouchun City to him." Yang Ji said casually. Otherwise, why would he tacitly allow Sun Ce to call Yuan Shu back just for this moment? Presumably, those aristocratic families should be very happy.

"This..." Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, "Lord Yuan will not agree to this, right?" Zhuge Liang doubted whether Yuan Shu would come over and scold Yang Ji if Yang Ji really handed this matter over to Yuan Shu.

"Then leave Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin to him. With the assistance of these two people, if he still doesn't want to take charge of Shouchun affairs, then let Boss Cao stay to handle the affairs in the city." He glanced at Zhuge Liang. This was a great opportunity to gain military merit. He didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be so unenthusiastic.

"Uh..." Zhuge Liang didn't know what to say. Should he say that Yang Ji was bold or confident? It was fine to let Yuan Shu be in charge of the affairs in the city, after all, he was suspected to have reached a secret agreement with them, but what about letting Sun Ce and Zhou Yu stay to assist Yuan Shu?
Can you please not be so reckless? Even calling Li You from Xuzhou would be better than leaving Sun Ce and Zhou Yu behind.

However, it seems that leaving Cao Cao in Shouchun to take charge of affairs is also a good choice. After all, Cao Cao has been showing his talents for so long, it is time to give him some sweet rewards. It is not good to keep people on suspense all the time.

"Or, how about leaving Cao Gong in Shouchun and letting Yuan Gong take Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin back to Fenggao?" Zhuge Liang suggested to Yang Ji, although Zhuge Liang did not know whether Cao Cao wanted to continue fighting with Yang Ji or stay in Shouchun at this time.

However, this is not important. What is important is Yang Ji's order. Yang Ji wants him to stay in Shouchun, so Cao Cao has to stay here to temporarily take charge of Shouchun's affairs until someone from Fenggao comes to take over.

If Yang Ji didn't want Cao Cao to stay in Shouchun, then Cao Cao would have to follow Yang Ji and continue to fight. The choice was not in Cao Cao's hands, but in Yang Ji's hands.

"Let Boss Cao stay in Shouchun to take charge of affairs?" Yang Ji frowned. Although he had just said that he would let Cao Cao stay in Shouchun, that was just a bonus and he didn't really want Cao Cao to stay.

However, now that Zhuge Liang had formally proposed it, Yang Ji had to consider whether it was right to keep Cao Cao in Shouchun.

"Yes, that's right. Lord Cao is quite capable. He is more than capable of dealing with the affairs and people in Shouchun City. There is no need to keep Military Advisor Cheng, General Cao Ren and General Le Jin to assist." Zhuge Liang's eyes flickered.
