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

Chapter 452 Zhuge Liang: Those who point out my mistakes are all good people -

Even though the Qingzhou Fleet is now fighting the Jiangxia Navy like a grandson, if we really talk about their specific strength, the Qingzhou Fleet is actually no match for the Jiangxia Navy.

The navy is different from the army. The infantry can go to the battlefield with a knife, but can the navy do that? No, the navy is a technical branch of the army. If the sailors' technical literacy is not up to a certain level, it is actually the same as sending heads to the enemy.

Although the navy and the navy are slightly different, their essence is the same. They are both forces that fight on the water with the help of ships. Therefore, the Jiangxia navy's new recruit training system can be directly connected to Liu Bei's naval training base.

To be honest, even if Gan Ning worked so hard for a long time, the quality of the Qingzhou Fleet's marines could not be compared with the sailors from the Jiangxia Naval Base. After all, the foundation of the Qingzhou Fleet was the pirates that Gan Ning pulled over from the Yangtze River. They were able to defeat the Jiangxia Navy only by relying on the advantages of their warships and generals.

Of course, a defeat is a defeat. I have no intention of saving face for the Jiangxia navy here. I am just reviewing the naval battle at that time. If Zhou Yu had not been suppressed on land by Yang Ji, the Jiangxia navy might not have lost to the Qingzhou fleet. In this era, the skills and tactics of a fleet commander could really determine the outcome of a battle.

Gan Ning is indeed unique among the naval generals of his time, but Zhou Yu is a naval commander who is even more unique than Gan Ning. Even though Zhou Yu does not have as good skills and tactics as Gan Ning, he has relied on his own qualifications to analyze some of the naval secrets.

The naval base in Jiangxia County must be captured by the trio of Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong. Not just capture it, but capture it completely. This will play a vital role in the future development of the Han Dynasty navy.

After taking over all the counties in Jiangxia County except Xiling City, the trio gathered again under Xiling City to discuss the next battle strategy.

"By the way, when you were sweeping through the surrounding counties, did you see the shadow of a naval warship on the river?" Pang Tong asked Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi with a frown.

He had originally thought that Liao Li would order the remaining naval forces in the naval base to come out and stop them when they crossed the river, but he didn't even see the shadow of a warship, so his original plan was all in vain.

"Maybe he didn't realize the role of the navy in Jiangxia County, and gathered all the soldiers in the base to defend the city." Sima Yi directly stated his judgment. If it comes to judging human nature, he should be the first among the three.

Sometimes, it is impossible to analyze what a person wants to do from a strategic and tactical perspective, but when analyzing from the perspective of human nature, you can get different results.

When Sima Yi led his troops to sweep through the surrounding counties, he collected some of the local people's opinions on the prefect Liao Li, and then constructed a cognitive model, from which he learned that Liao Li might not be so good at military strategy.

Sima Yi's judgment made Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong fall into deep thought. Considering their experiences along the way, Sima Yi's judgment was not impossible.

"But what role can the navy play when it goes ashore? Will it increase the number of soldiers defending the city?" Pang Tong was still a little confused. Even if Liao Li was not very good at military strategy, he should know the essential difference between the navy and the army.

"Apart from this possibility, can you come up with any other reason for him?" Sima Yi looked at Pang Tong. If Pang Tong could give a reason that could convince him, he would reconsider his idea.

When it comes to helping Liao Li think of a new reason, Pang Tong chose to lower his head. He couldn't think of any reason why Liao Li didn't let the remnants of the Jiangxia navy come out to stop their army from crossing the river.

To be honest, if Liao Li really took out the navy to stop them, they really had no good way to fight back, after all, one was on land and the other was on the water.

They are not Yang Ji, who can use some secret techniques to directly construct a solidified cloud road on the river surface. God knows how Yang Ji did it.

Although they all knew the secret technique of building a road made of cloud and gas, they could not afford the cloud and gas required to build a road made of cloud and gas on the river surface for a long time. How Yang Ji managed to build a road made of cloud and gas on the Yangtze River with the cloud and gas reserves of 60,000 troops is still a mystery.

Generally speaking, if the army wants to attack a surface fleet, apart from the corresponding fleet of its own, the only weapon left is the bow and arrow. However, as the bow and arrow is one of the main attack methods of the surface fleet, doesn't the navy itself know how to practice the skills of avoiding the enemy's rain of arrows?

Although the Danyang elites are also good at bows and arrows, they are just good at it, and there is still a certain gap between them and proficiency. The trio is not like Yang Ji who can easily stack up a bunch of innate secret arts that can effectively bless archers.

"There is also a possibility that the sailors in the Jiangxia Naval Base were transferred from infantry. This may explain why he mobilized the sailors in the naval base to the city." Zhuge Liang gave his own thoughts after both of them were silent.

"Okay, even if the assumption you made is true, you still have to think about one problem. Even if the remaining sailors in the base are from the infantry, they can only be recruits who have undergone simple training at most, and then were included in the naval training. They may not even be considered miscellaneous soldiers among the infantry." Pang Tong shook his head. After all, the navy and the army are two different branches of the military. Some combat skills and combat habits cannot be unified, and sometimes they are even contradictory.

"This..." Zhuge Liang didn't know how to explain it. Could it be that after the sailors came ashore, they really couldn't beat the infantry? He knew more about infantry, but not much about sailors, and only knew about warships that had served in the navy.

"And there is another thing. Even if the remaining sailors in the base were transferred from infantry, they are most likely recruits who have just completed their training or have not yet completed their sailor training. Otherwise, how could Zhou Yu not take them with him when he called the Jiangxia navy to participate in the war?" Pang Tong added.

"Although you didn't participate in the decisive battle with Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin, you should have known about the course of that battle." Pang Tong looked at Zhuge Liang, doubting whether Zhuge Liang, who followed Yang Ji, had carefully understood the situation at that time. Zhuge Liang was silent. According to Pang Tong, he should have known all the situations of that battle, including the surface battlefield, but as expected, something unexpected happened. He didn't pay attention to the battlefield on the surface. Gan Ning didn't appear by Yang Ji's side after the battle, so he didn't pay much attention to the situation on the surface battlefield.

Looking back now, he was indeed derelict in his duty. His position in Yang Ji's army was clearly a soldier, but he didn't know much about the situation on the battlefield, even though the part he didn't understand was only the surface battlefield on the local battlefield.

"Judging from your appearance, you probably haven't paid attention to the development of the battlefield situation on the water." Pang Tong knew what Zhuge Liang was like at a glance. After all, even Zhuge Liang's spiritual talent was stimulated by him.

"It seems that it is just as Lord Chen said at the beginning. Kong Ming, you are far less sensitive in military affairs than in domestic affairs. If it were a domestic matter, you would have considered certain things from a global perspective." Sima Yi also said that seeing Zhuge Liang suffer a setback was simply a great pleasure in life.

"Tsk--" Zhuge Liang glanced at Sima Yi and Pang Tong who were gloating over other people's misfortune. These two guys were so childish that they actually squeezed him in this regard.

"Okay, I admit that it was my mistake this time." Zhuge Liang was not the kind of person who would not correct his mistakes. After realizing his mistake, he corrected it on the spot and engraved it in his instinct. If he made this mistake again in the future, he would... put aside his caution and stability for a while.

Prudence and stability are really important to Zhuge Liang. Being able to let go for a while shows that he is determined. If his will is not strong enough, Zhuge Liang might subconsciously pursue caution and stability in his daily actions.

Prudence and calmness are ingrained into Zhuge Liang's bones. It is impossible to change them. Moreover, Zhuge Liang has no intention of changing his character. Is Zhuge Liang still Zhuge Liang if he loses his prudence and calmness?

Changing your work style is one thing, and changing your personality is another. Unless something really happens that forces Zhuge Liang to change his personality, this task is simply impossible to accomplish.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's expression, Pang Tong and Sima Yi secretly said that it was bad. Having worked with Zhuge Liang for so long, how could they not know that Zhuge Liang possessed the unique qualities. Although it was not something like spiritual talent, it could be considered an alternative talent.

Pang Tong couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He and Zhuge Liang were clearly rivals, so why was he now helping Zhuge Liang evolve?
Pang Tong began to urge himself to remember this scene. If he helped Zhuge Liang realize his mistake again in the future, he would punish himself by admitting in front of Zhuge Liang that he was not as good as Zhuge Liang.

"Hiss!" Pang Tong took a breath of cold air. Was this punishment a bit too severe? Should it be changed? Pang Tong secretly pondered whether he should change the way he punished himself.

Sima Yi sighed. Zhuge Liang really didn't give him a chance to catch his breath. His talent was strong enough, and now he has such an alternative talent. It's really enviable. Forget it, let's not talk about these things. The more we talk, the more sad we become.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore, let's discuss how to attack Xiling City." Sima Yi brought the topic back to the matter of attacking Xiling City, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to help but suppress Zhuge Liang with Pang Tong first.

"Yes, let's discuss how to attack Xiling City." Pang Tong immediately nodded and agreed to Sima Yi's proposal. The topic just now was too sad, so let's skip it directly.

"Well, in that case, let's talk about our respective siege plans." Zhuge Liang said with some regret. He still wanted to take advantage of Pang Tong and Sima Yi more in this regard. After all, only your opponent knows best what mistakes you have made.

"My opinion is to shake Liao Gongyuan's will, and then organize troops to attack the city. It's a small Xiling city, and it will be easy to take it down with our military strength if Liao Gongyuan is not the commander." Sima Yi was the first to speak, intending to start by shaking Liao Li's will.

"What can you use to shake Liao Gongyuan's will?" After hearing Sima Yi's proposal, Pang Tong didn't think twice and started to criticize. No matter whether Sima Yi's proposal was feasible or not, he would criticize him first. They were all wise men with awakened spiritual talents, so it was not a difficult matter for them to find a loophole.

Then Sima Yi started fighting with Pang Tong, that is, a quarrel, and by the way, he also dragged Zhuge Liang into it. How could he let Zhuge Liang sit there doing nothing at this time? As a good friend, of course he had to bring his good brother to fight together.

Anyway, the situation at the scene was extremely chaotic. No matter who came up with a plan, he would be criticized from top to bottom by the other two. Even a steady player like Zhuge Liang would jump up and down when he was criticized on the pain point, and would roll up his sleeves to talk reason with Sima Yi and Pang Tong.

However, Sima Yi and Pang Tong were not afraid at all. They acted as if Zhuge Liang was the only one who was proficient in the Six Arts. And because they were older than Zhuge Liang, they were better than Zhuge Liang in this respect. There was no way around it. In terms of physical fitness, before reaching a certain age, whoever is older really has the advantage.

In the end, because no one could convince anyone else, the three could only combine their own plans with those of the other two, eliminating the overlapping parts, and nesting the other non-overlapping parts together, striving to win in one battle. They didn't have much time to waste in a small Xiling City. They were also thinking about finishing the Jingzhou business as soon as possible and then going to Yanzhou to watch the battle.

"Okay, the part of shaking the will and faith of Liao Gongyuan and the defenders in the city will be done by Zhongda, the part of organizing the troops to attack the city will be done by Shiyuan, and the part of integrating the military orders and logistical supplies of various departments will be done by me." Zhuge Liang concluded.

"Tsk, if you weren't the actual leader of this army, I wouldn't give you the responsibility of integrating the military orders of various units." Pang Tong snorted coldly and said sourly, but he didn't intend to oppose Zhuge Liang's arrangement.

After all, when they were competing for the command of this army in front of Yang Ji, they did lose to Zhuge Liang by a hair's breadth. If they want to properly deal with Liu Biao's affairs during this trip to Jingzhou, it seems that only Zhuge Liang's upright and righteous approach is the most suitable.
