Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Lü Meng's abacus beads were very sharp.

Sun Tzu could guess Lü Meng's deeper thoughts without even having to think.

Regardless of the final outcome, he can gain valuable experience here and may be transferred to a post in Luoyang, where he can participate in the expansion of territory, just like Lu Xun.

To put it bluntly, Lü Meng came here to complete his mission and didn't care at all about the future survival of the Yuan family.

Shen Pei also realized this, but there was nothing wrong with Lü Meng's choice. In the end, this matter was Yuan's own business, and since it concerned Yuan's fiefdom, it was naturally up to Yuan to worry about it.

Lu Meng's goal was clear: to complete the mission, defeat the Han army, and then leave.

"It seems I have to talk to Yang Xiu again!"

Shen Pei pondered for a moment without objecting. They were the weaker party and had to rely on Lü Meng's command of the large army, so he acquiesced to Lü Meng's choice.

"No, we cannot place our hopes on others; we must have our own large-scale army under our command... Ju Shou..."

Shen Pei pondered. There was only one person in the Yuan family who could be called a commander of a large army, and that was Ju Shou. In particular, the other party's spiritual talent was a very good auxiliary ability, which could take command and dispatch to another level.

Besides them, Ju Yi is the only one who has any hope, but Ju Yi is obviously better at training and leading troops than at breaking through enemy lines and commanding troops. In terms of breaking through enemy lines and commanding troops, he may not be as good as Zhang Liao.

"I've heard that Zhuge Liang's student, Jiang Wei, is able to approach the time isotope... Perhaps we could try with Deng Ai and Zhong Hui?"

Shen Pei was thinking to himself that after Lü Meng left, they could still use Yang Xiu to bring Awende back and stabilize the front line.

But these are all temporary forces, and they do not belong to the Yuan family. They need their own large army to command.

Even if he's not very mature, his assistance can at least help him keep things in order.

Lu Meng's peace talks will not yield results; at best, they will only be temporary.

Shenpei was well aware of this; the best outcome would be for the Great Han to use them as a whetstone for training.

The worst-case scenario is that the Han forces will fight them to the death, forcing them to abandon their opportunities here and migrate to other worlds.

But this decision was difficult; the sunk costs were simply too high.

Moreover, only by holding off the Great Han can they rely on the support of the Star Han to become stronger.

This opportunity is hard-won; not every prominent family can be selected for support.

If they give up this opportunity and start from scratch, they will undoubtedly face many difficulties, at least in terms of time.

Lu Meng finalized the general strategic plan, while Shen Pei listened silently, constantly calculating how to use the time Lu Meng and Sun Wu were with to strengthen his own army.

The quality of their army is guaranteed; many of them are elite troops left over from the three great barbarian tribes of yesteryear.

The three barbarians initially yearned for Rome because it was the beacon of Western civilization.

Now that Rome has also come under the control of Xinghan, Xinghan has naturally become the beacon of civilization.

The fact that the Yuan family was a legitimate branch of Han Chinese was very attractive to many barbarians.

These barbarians, along with their families, joined the sphere of influence of the Yuan family and other powerful clans.

As a result, the Yuan family managed to acquire a group of soldiers who were of high quality but had very poor organizational skills.

Although organizational strength can be enhanced through epic songs and ballads created by the Dijiang Legion, nothing beats the swift and efficient command of a large army and the hands-on guidance of a military genius.

After all, what the Yuan family lacks most right now is time.

Sun Tzu actually had a quick way to develop combat power.

However, when this solution was presented to Shen Pei, Shen Pei remained silent.

"Are you sure this thing is okay?" Shen Pei recognized what Sun Wu had shown him.

A ritual to honor the dead!

Sun Tzu developed a third version based on Wu Zixu's version and his own version.

Even military geniuses have their own quirks.

Han Xin liked to build large armies, so he developed the Zhonglei Camp, improved the organization of the Three Rivers and Five Schools, and created auxiliary armies.

Bai Qi preferred strategic annihilation, which meant killing-type units that completely crushed the enemy to ashes, and developed legions such as the Crimson Blood Guards and Crimson Blood Cavalry.

Wu Qi preferred elite troops and strong generals, so he continuously adjusted and trained them according to the Wei Wu Zu (Wei Wu Zu) model, creating many high-quality legions. He made significant contributions to the Imperial Guard.

Sun Tzu disliked flashy abilities and preferred command and control. He didn't have high demands on his army and usually helped others.

Yue Fei, Zhuge Liang, and Wang Baobao each had their own biases.

However, based on their individual interests, all the military geniuses have one fixed research project: miracles.

The Miracle Legion is one of the few things they research together. They advance their weapons through their own means, attempting to create a Miracle Legion that embodies their own style.

Especially after Yue Fei's success, all military strategists regarded it as a long-term research topic.

Bai Qi chose the path of killing. He believed that legions like the Crimson Blood Guards and Crimson Blood Cavalry had great potential for development and progress. Killing millions would naturally lead to miracles.

Therefore, Bai Qi focused his main energy on exploring other worlds, which was also the only place where he could wreak havoc.

Wu Qi was working on making internal energy form a powerful force to achieve the three natural talents, and then everyone broke through to the path of internal energy leaving the body, which is the so-called solid foundation.

From the Himalayas, the power of Brahma, extracted from fragments of sacred hymns, was infused into thousands of individuals with internal energy for intensive training.

Sun Tzu, however, was different from them. Especially after learning about the existence of the sacred hymn, Sun Tzu advocated using the sacrificial ceremony of the dead to absorb the fragments of the sacred hymn.

In layman's terms, it means turning soldiers into containers to contain the fragments of the hymn, and then using one's own will to gradually erode the will of the hymn fragments.

Using a human body to harness the power left over from the hymns.

Miracles are the power to oppose the hymn, so why doesn't he just study the hymn instead? After all, the sacrificial offering itself comes from fragments of the hymn.

Sun Tzu previously pursued introspection, which is also the path he discovered that can be safely passed down.

However, in Sun Tzu's view, pursuing miracles requires going to extremes. After all, a miracle army is not something that can be created step by step. Since extremes are required, then some drastic measures should be taken.

This is the 3.0 version of the Ritual of the Corpse-Binding, which is also Sun Tzu's most recent masterpiece.

The Yuan family was his testing ground.

"That's how it is!" Shen Pei explained Sun Wu's plan and scheme to Yuan Tan in detail.

Shen Pei presented Yuan Tan with his analysis of the advantages and disadvantages.

This is why strategists cannot become rulers; they can understand the advantages and disadvantages, but they cannot make the final choice among these options, each with its own merits and demerits.

Especially when such a choice will affect development for countless years to come, even the shrewd and wise among them are unable to make a judgment and can only leave it to others to decide.

At this moment, the only person in the Yuan family who can make a decision is Yuan Tan.

Even with Shen Pei handling everything, the Yuan family still had only one central figure: Yuan Tan. This was especially true after Yuan Tan inherited and absorbed Yuan Shao's monarchical talents.

Yuan Tan stared silently at the proposal before him.

Sun Tzu's proudest work was naturally no ordinary piece; even a layman like Yuan Tan could understand that the "Bin Shi Xiang Li 3.0" was a groundbreaking product.

However, this thing deviates from the existing path, and once a problem arises, there is almost no way to make up for it.

You should know that in reality, the stranger something is, the faster it dies.

Sun Tzu's proposed "Bin Shi Xiang Li 3.0" is clearly such a strange thing.

"If we implement this plan, how much combat power can we have at the fastest?" Yuan Tan unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table.

He was deeply troubled, knowing that the decision he was making was a huge one that would determine their future success, and even their lives.

However, under such immense pressure, Yuan Tan remained remarkably calm, which was one of the few advantages he inherited from Yuan Shao: his personal abilities became even more outstanding under pressure.

"It is estimated that within one to three months, we can create an army of 100,000 talented individuals!" Shen Pei gave a clear answer.

Yuan Tan's silence lasted for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Shen Pei didn't know what Yuan Tan was thinking, but he also remained silent, waiting for Yuan Tan's decision.

Yuan Tan finally made up his mind and made the decision directly: "Provide all support and let Sun Tzu do it!"

Shen Pei was somewhat surprised, but he didn't react in any other way. He simply handed Yuan Tan a list calmly.

The above are a series of requirements and supporting materials put forward by Sun Tzu.

"I understand, I'll have someone do it!"

Since Yuan Tan had already made up his mind, he naturally wouldn't waver in the slightest, and spoke without even blinking.

Having received Yuan Tan's approval, Shen Pei directly applied his own thinking and arrived at the choice that was most advantageous to them.

Sun Wu was somewhat surprised by the requirements put forward by the institute.

"In other words, you want an army whose core is vitality!"

Sun Tzu was indeed surprised; this was not the best choice.

He prefers a kind of indestructible defense or an unbreakable destruction; simple offense and defense are an army's greatest asset.

But vitality is a more subtle point.

Reality isn't a game; increased vitality only makes one more resilient, but it's not necessarily the best choice for an army.

After all, even if someone resists death, it's rare for them to survive when their head is smashed.

Vitality is more about recovery and energy, and it's not suitable for direct combat.

It certainly has an impact on combat, but it neither aligns with the idea of ​​quick results nor meets the requirements of actual combat strength.

"and many more……"

Sun Tzu, being a military genius, looked Shen Pei up and down and suddenly understood.

"You intend to use your spiritual talent to transform the fallen soldiers into power for the subsequent soldiers to absorb."

"Use war to strengthen your fighting power, and use sacrifice to forge a powerful legion?"

Sun Tzu stroked his chin. Shen Pei's idea was interesting, but its feasibility was very high.

This approach implicitly embodies the principles of nature, if it can be made to lean towards vitality.
If that's the case, it really can be done.

Fallen petals are not heartless things; they turn into spring mud to nourish the flowers.

This kind of legion, founded on sacrifice, is not the first. Strictly speaking, the Yellow Turbans were also such a legion. It was the sacrifice of countless people that created the first Yellow Heaven Legion.

Moreover, Rome's Eleven Eagles serve as a model. Perhaps the miracle of the First Yellow Legion is unattainable, but Rome's three-star legacy is a very good example.

If they can create a new three-talent system, it would be a significant support for the Yuan family.

"I understand, I'll revise the plan!"

Sun Wu stroked his chin, his mind constantly sparking with inspiration. He went straight back to his room and secluded himself for three days, where he devised a completely new plan.

Meanwhile, Lü Meng, who was busy preparing for war, paid little attention to the movements of Sun Wu and Shen Pei.

Anyway, Sun Tzu didn't draw on existing combat forces; he was just messing with new recruits, so Lü Meng couldn't interfere with things here.

His mission was simply to win the war; he didn't care about anything else.

Since the first day of the attack, the Great Han has entered a period of high-frequency harassment, with a large number of Phantom Warriors harassing and attacking the city in various ways.

Although most of them were suppressed, hundreds of soldiers fell into a coma again, seemingly still assessing something.

The first batch of soldiers who fell into a coma have begun to regain their mobility one after another. Although they still experience occasional headaches, they have basically recovered their normal mobility.

Instead of returning these men to their original units, Lü Meng directly organized them into a mobile squad to provide logistical support and continue to observe these soldiers.

Lu Meng naturally anticipated the worst-case scenario regarding the methods employed by the Han Dynasty.

He had been worried that the Illusionist system possessed the ability to manipulate, since these soldiers had all collapsed unconscious and were somewhat unusual when they woke up.

This made Lü Meng uneasy. Controlling a healthy soldier required a lot of effort, but controlling an unconscious soldier did not require much effort.

When Lü Meng was studying under Sun Tzu, he put forward this idea.

The opponent can be directly controlled by the illusionary soldiers.

Sun Tzu acknowledged the feasibility of this path.

For Sun Tzu, this operation was not difficult, so after that day, Lü Meng made more detailed arrangements for these unconscious wounded soldiers, ensuring that they could contribute to the city's defense but not gather more intelligence.

“There is indeed an anomaly. These soldiers have a key-like medium hidden in their consciousness, which the other party can directly seize.”

After careful observation and testing, the technician successfully reached a conclusion.

Upon hearing the result, Lü Meng smiled, a hint of understanding on his face.

One thing leads to another; if he doesn't keep his guard up...

The trouble caused by these soldiers' mutiny in the face of battle is far from trivial.

"Can this be resolved?"

"It requires the participation of a legion of willpower to directly remove these willpower nails. Without the possession of a psychic warrior, these keys cannot be opened."

The technicians gave a positive answer, which reassured Lü Meng considerably, giving him room to use his plan. (End of Chapter)
