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

Chapter 446 The Thoughts of the Trio
Yang Ji waved his hand and asked his men to take away Zhu Zhi, Lu Fan and others who had given up resistance. He had no intention of communicating with them. These matters were the work of civil officials like Chen Xi. He was a reckless military general and did not want to pay attention to these matters.

After having Zhu Zhi, Lu Fan and others taken away, Yang Ji looked at Sun Shangxiang who was still holding onto the corner of his clothes. It can only be said that children's energy is really beyond the imagination of adults. Even though she was frightened into a haggard look by that old man Yu Ji before, she immediately became full of energy after being rescued.

At this time, Sun Shangxiang was staring at the jar in Yang Ji's hand with wide eyes, her eyes full of curiosity and malice. Curiosity was about how Yang Ji put an immortal into the jar, and malice was directed at Yu Ji in the jar. After all, if it weren't for Yu Ji, Sun Shangxiang would still be a young lady in Shouchun City. How could she run to the battlefield at this age?

"Little friend, can you give me what you have in your arms? I can use this to exchange with you?" Yang Ji said to Sun Shangxiang, while tossing the jar sealed with Yu Ji in his hand up and down to show the strength of the seal on the jar.

Sun Shangxiang hugged the package in her arms tightly and shrank her body, but she did not loosen her hand that was holding the corner of Yang Ji's clothes, and her eyes were still fixed on the jar that Yang Ji was tossing up and down in his hand.

Yang Ji caught the jar that fell from the sky and said to Sun Shangxiang with some headache: "Hey, don't play dumb, I know you can understand what I'm saying." He didn't believe that Sun Shangxiang still didn't know what was in her arms, even though Sun Shangxiang was less than ten years old.

However, Sun Shangxiang was unmoved by what Yang Ji said and still held onto the corner of Yang Ji's clothes. Seeing that Yang Ji had no intention of letting her play with the jar that contained Yu Ji, her eyes, which had been bright and lively, dimmed instantly and revealed a tired look.

Then, in front of the astonished eyes of Yang Ji, Cao Cao and others, she closed her eyes, and fell asleep while standing, holding the corner of Yang Ji's clothes, leaving Yang Ji in shock, looking down at Sun Shangxiang who nodded from time to time.

[Well, Boss Cao, you have so many children, you should be good at taking care of them, right?] Yang Ji sent a message to Cao Cao, asking him how to solve the current situation.

"I..." Cao Cao moved his lips but no sound came out. In his heart, he roared to Yang Ji: Do you think I look like someone who can take care of a child?
Although taking care of young cubs is part of human nature, I really have no experience in raising children. Brothers, sisters, and children of the next generation are not taught by me.

Looking at the silent Cao Cao, Yang Ji remembered that Cao De was in charge of the education of the Cao and Xiahou families. Cao Cao did not seem to have any talent in education. As for his relationship with the children at home, Yang Ji did not know. After all, it was someone else's family affair.

However, judging from Cao Cao's current reaction, it shouldn't be a good thing. Otherwise, Cao Cao would have to give some advice to the children at home. Even if he just takes the children back home, he would have to show them how to hold them.

Yang Ji turned his head and glanced at Cheng Yu, the older man with a gloomy face. It was obvious that he was not the type that children would like.

Zhuge Liang? This guy himself is just a child. If he were in the future, he would probably still be in his parents' arms.

Yang Ji thought about it, waved his hand and asked someone to go to the medical camp to find a field nurse. Although Sun Shangxiang looked fine just now, you can't understand a child's body at all. Sometimes there seems to be nothing wrong on the surface, but when you check, oh no -

……

After handing Sun Shangxiang over to the medical staff, Yang Ji found Cao Cao, Yu Jin and others. The largest military force in Yuzhou had been captured, and the only thing left was the banditry caused by the war.

Even though Yang Ji's war was very short, lasting no more than a month at most, banditry is something that will never change no matter how long you fight, especially in these days when we had just experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion. As long as a war breaks out, there will definitely be some bad guys with ideas.

That is to say, when Yuan Shu was in power in Yuzhou, he did not choose to increase taxes, nor did he let his officials increase taxes, and he strictly restricted those officials from exploiting the people. Otherwise, Yang Ji would have to face more than just the current bandit problem.

The people who have no way to make a living will not discuss with you about benevolence, morality, and imperial laws. Those are the things they will only hear when they have a full stomach.

"So, this is the current situation. Who of you wants to stay in Yuzhou to suppress the bandits?" Yang Ji looked at Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, Cheng Yu, Yu Jin and others present.

"I have a question." Pang Tong stood up and asked Yang Ji, "Shouldn't you be the one to handle the elimination of the bandits in Yuzhou? Why do we need to spare one of our men to stay and handle it?"

Pang Tong was rather puzzled by this matter. As mentioned before, the largest group of remnant soldiers in Yuzhou had been eliminated, and the only ones left were some defeated soldiers and local bandits.

According to the orders from Feng Gao and Liu Bei, after taking Yuzhou, Yang Ji needed to stay in Yuzhou to govern the southern states, although Yuzhou did not belong to the southern states.

Although according to the previous strategic plan, Yang Ji will need to continue to move south to Jingzhou to compete with Liu Biao to determine the ownership of Jingzhou, but given Liu Biao's current situation, does Yang Ji really need to take action personally?

"As for the issue of Jingzhou's ownership, you can just find a suitable general to go there. Why do you have to go there in person?" Pang Tong advised Yang Ji. He wanted Yang Ji to stay in Yuzhou, which was closer to the battlefield in Yanzhou. If anything went wrong there, Yang Ji could immediately send troops to Yanzhou to clean up the mess.

Yang Ji frowned as he looked at Pang Tong who kept persuading him to stay in Yuzhou to guard it. Then he looked at the others and found that their eyes, including Zhuge Liang's, were evasive. Now Yang Ji knew why these guys suggested that he stay in Yuzhou to guard it.

They said they were worried about the battle situation in Yanzhou. They were just pretending to be confused. Don’t they really know how strong the military force Chen Xi has deployed in the Yanzhou battlefield is?
Of course they knew about it, and they even wanted to participate in this war. However, with their current status, it seems that they cannot participate deeply in this war. At most, they can only serve as a staff officer during the meeting.

If Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and Yu Jin were to participate in the war with Jizhou, they would not have to worry about having only an honorary title of staff officer. After all, they all had their own battle records and would definitely be assigned a task.

However, it is different for Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong. Even if hundreds of thousands of soldiers will not mind you being young for the sake of a series of young people including Yang Ji, Chen Xi, Guo Jia, etc., how do you demonstrate your abilities?
Even if Yang Ji, Chen Xi and others knew their abilities, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers did not know. Even with the guarantee of Chen Xi, Yang Ji and others, the officers and soldiers would not easily agree with Yang Ji, Chen Xi and others, not to mention whether Yang Ji, Chen Xi and others would guarantee Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong in such matters.

Anyway, Yang Ji knew that he would not guarantee the three of them in a war of this level. He was not questioning their abilities, but their experience. The current situation did not require these three to play. Even the lineup Liu Bei had selected was enough for them to win the war with Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

Moreover, given the intelligence and pride of these people, it is a question whether they want Yang Ji to guarantee them or not.

Therefore, if Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong want to further participate in the war with Yuan Shao, rather than acting as dispensable advisers, they must start with the current war to the south to Jingzhou.

In the military, there is no problem that cannot be solved by military merit. If it cannot be solved, it means that the military merit is not enough.

"Alright." Yang Ji slumped in his chair, "Since you are willing to participate in the upcoming war with Jizhou, I will give you this opportunity.

I will not go to Jingzhou. I will transfer 30,000 troops from the Xuzhou Army Group to you later. If you can handle the affairs of Jingzhou well, I will recommend you to Lord Xuande to participate in the next war. "

Yang Ji continued in a somewhat lazy voice, "If you fail to deal with the situation in Jingzhou, or if something else happens, then the three of you will have to stay in Jingzhou for a long time to help others solve the mess you left behind."

Jingzhou, there are not only local aristocratic forces, but also Liu Biao who is looking forward to making a comeback. This guy is different from Liu Zhang, the mascot, he has a wild heart.

After Yang Ji finished speaking, Cao Cao next to him looked at Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong with a smile, and said, "Liu Biao, don't look at this guy's military strength. Even the 30,000 elite troops that Yang Ji casually transferred can deal with him."

However, if the problem could be solved so easily, Yang Ji would not have thought of making a personal trip to Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong looked at each other and understood what the so-called mess Yang Ji was talking about, but would they really be stopped in their tracks by a Liu Biao?
Now Jingzhou has no elite troops, no military generals, but it has civil officials. In fact, these are not a problem. After all, the importance of military generals begins to decline sharply when the military force reaches a certain scale. What is really important are the officers who can command the troops to fight and the troops that are elite enough.

Even if there is none of these, it is not a particularly important issue. As long as the lord is strong enough, there will be elite civil and military officials. But is Liu Biao very powerful?
Maybe Liu Biao was once very powerful, but what has he become now? Can the successive blows make him regain his spirit? Are his subordinates, who have been corrupted by the Jingchu family for many years, still loyal to him?
"We will live up to your trust!" X3. Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong saluted Yang Ji and assured him with full confidence that they would handle the affairs of Jingzhou well and get the qualification to attend the decisive battle between Liu and Yuan.

"Well, since you are so confident..." Yang Ji thought for a moment, then turned to Guan Hai and said, "Guan Hai, take your troops and follow them south to Jingzhou. If they encounter any tough problems, help them."

"Yes." Guan Hai took Yang Ji's order calmly, then walked and stood behind the trio.

"Greetings, General Guan." The trio hurriedly saluted Guan Hai. They all knew one thing very well: Yang Ji did not send Guan Hai here to help them gain merit.

"Greetings, three young generals." Guan Hai returned the greetings to the three men. Although Yang Ji did not say it explicitly, Guan Hai already knew what he needed to do in the army of the trio.

His duty is to act as an advisor in the army, that is, when the three encounter military problems that cannot be solved, he will give a more appropriate suggestion based on his own military experience.

After seeing the trio chatting with Guan Hai, Yang Ji looked at Cao Cao, "Boss Cao, what are your plans for the future? Will you go south to Jingzhou, stay in Yuzhou, or go north to Yanzhou?"

Cao Cao and Yang Ji have different missions. After conquering Yuzhou, Cao Cao has many options for his future. He can go to Jingzhou with a group of three to deal with Liu Biao's problem, or go to Yanzhou to join the decisive battle between Liu and Yuan, or stay in Yuzhou and guard the surrounding states and counties with Yang Ji.

When Cao Cao heard Yang Ji's question, he was startled and quickly said, "I plan to go north to participate in the decisive battle with Yuan Benchu." He was afraid that if he answered slowly, Yang Ji would leave him behind to govern Yuzhou and the surrounding states and counties.

Moreover, the upcoming decisive battle with Yuan Shao should be the largest battle of the Han Dynasty before the subsequent battle in the northern border. If the entire battle can be fought, a lot of military combat experience should be gained.

Even though the big head will be eaten by Guan Yu, the commander-in-chief, the experience level of a large army commander that Guan Yu needs, and the other dropped experience levels are not within Guan Yu's pickup range. These experiences are also needed by Cao Cao and other non-large army commanders.

PS: Cao Cao, who has not experienced many large-scale battles, should not be able to command a large army, right? Or is Cao Cao also a talented player who starts with commanding a large army?
After hearing Cao Cao's answer, Yang Ji said with some regret: "Well, since you want to participate in this decisive battle, take these people behind you with you."

To be honest, Yang Ji really wanted to keep Cao Cao to help. After all, Fenggao was currently busy with a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and there was basically no way to transfer manpower to preside over the affairs of Yuzhou and surrounding states and counties.

In other words, before the end of the decisive battle between Liu and Yuan, and even for a long time after it, Yang Ji would have to stay here to guard the place.

Yang Ji felt a headache when he thought of those annoying government affairs. It was not that he could not handle them. Although he could not give a general solution like Chen Xi, it was still no problem to give a solution direction.

Thinking of this, Yang Ji could not help but look at the trio of Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, thinking that why not leave one person to help him handle government affairs. After all, these three people have been helping in the Fenggao Government Affairs Office for some time, and they should be able to sort out a specific solution based on the direction he gave.
