Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Xu Shu carefully put away the medicine given to him by Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.

Although he didn't know why, he instinctively felt that this thing was dangerous.

Thinking about some rumors he had heard before, Xu Shu decided it was best not to delve too deeply into them.

Anyway, the two doctors' abilities are guaranteed. Since they gave him this thing, it must be useful. He still has that much trust in them.

Now that everything was ready, Xu Shu was ready to make his move.

"Yuanzhi! Look who's here!"

Just as Xu Shu was planning how to launch the attack, he heard shouts outside, and then Zhang Xiu led in a burly man in armor.

"Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, has been ordered to come and assist in the battle!"

Xu Huang greeted Xu Shu with a smile, and the two immediately gave each other a bear hug.

"Gongming, what brings you here!"

Xu Shu and Xu Huang had a good relationship and worked together very well, so Xu Shu was quite pleasantly surprised to see Xu Huang arrive.

"Since Prime Minister Zhuge has appointed generals, I've come directly to help you!" Xu Huang explained with a hearty laugh.

Guo Jia reported the situation to Zhuge Liang, and after realizing that Xu Shu's situation was somewhat troublesome, Zhuge Liang began to make further deployments.

Some officers were transferred from other places to Xu Shu's command, since the threat of the undead scourge was growing.

If it weren't for the need to be wary of Shengge Taiyi, Mu Yi would have wanted to recall the First Yellow Heaven to help.

"You've come at the perfect time!" Xu Shu's spirits lifted; Kongming, this kid, is actually quite capable.

"I need a general to lead the charge!"

Knowing that neither Ju Yi nor Zhang Xiu were suitable for the initial breakthrough, Xu Huang was sent instead. Compared to the Iron Cavalry and the Vanguard, Xu Huang's main force was the most suitable to lead the charge.

"Yuanzhi, I'm afraid I can't accept this mission!"

To Xu Shu's surprise, Xu Huang directly rejected Xu Shu's request.

While Xu Shu was completely bewildered, Xu Huang revealed the truth.

"It's not that I'm afraid to lead the charge, it's that I didn't bring headquarters!"

However, Xu Huang's words completely stunned Xu Shu. Xu Shu hurriedly inquired about the details and learned that Xu Huang had come alone and that the main force was still stationed in the original defense zone.

Xu Shu felt he had to retract his earlier thought. Zhuge Liang was indeed a scoundrel, sending only generals and not legions; what was the difference between that and acting like a rogue?

“However, there’s a legion that’s perfect for leading the charge. Perhaps you could send them?” Xu Huang said somewhat sheepishly.

"Oh?" Xu Shu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and looked at Xu Huang, waiting for him to introduce him.

Xu Huang was quite reliable; Xu Shu was willing to trust the people he recommended.

"He's my son!" Xu Huang scratched his head and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Although it is said that one should not avoid recommending relatives to others, this was the first time he had recommended his own son to someone else, and he felt rather embarrassed.

"Gongming, your son's name is Xu Gai, right?" Xu Shu recalled for a moment and had some impression of Xu Gai.

"Yes, I just graduated from military academy this year. I have mastered the art of internal energy separation and possess legion talent. I am currently leading a tank legion!"

"The chariot legion!" Xu Shu's eyes lit up. This was the legion most suitable for a frontal breakthrough.

They were even more suitable to lead the charge than the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"What is the effect of your legion talent, my dear nephew?" Xu Shu pondered for a moment, and after realizing he had no memory of it, he simply asked directly.

"It's a charge breakthrough that greatly increases the impact force of the charge!" Xu Huang briefly introduced Xu Gai's legion talent.

A legion talent well suited for heavy cavalry and chariots, it greatly increases the charging power of the soldiers, making them invincible in attacking fortified positions.

However, it also has significant limitations; if it fails to gain momentum, it's useless.

"This talent reminds me of an elite talent, which seems more suitable for my nephew?" Xu Shu tilted his head, just hearing this description made him think of an entire legion.

The Ninth Eagle of Rome, the talent framework of the Spanish heavy cavalry legion.

With no initial charge or charge defense, combined with Xu Gai's Legion talent, he is undoubtedly a master at charging and breaking through enemy lines.

"Prime Minister Zhuge refused. The Ninth Eagle Banner involved some internal political factors in Rome, so we had no choice but to settle for the second best and choose the Chariot Legion to take over!"

Xu Huang sighed. He wasn't stupid. When it came to his son's future, he naturally used his merits and qualifications to ask Huang Tianji to arrange a marriage.

Xu Gai and the Ninth Spanish Heavy Cavalry were a perfect match, with a 90% fit.

However, the process ultimately stalled in Zhuge Liang's hands. Zhuge Liang explained the pros and cons to Xu Huang, and in the end, it came down to the word "stability maintenance".

Zhuge Liang knew he had wronged Xu Gai, and was willing to compensate him with a custom-made military formation. Xu Huang ultimately weighed the pros and cons and chose not to confront Zhuge Liang head-on, prioritizing the overall situation.

To be honest, Xu Huang is in the right. Within Xinghan, the most capable rise to the top, and Xu Gai is the most suitable legion commander for the Spanish heavy cavalry.

In reality, however, the eagle banner was too sensitive a topic. Zhuge Liang still advocated that the Romans lead the Romans, and that the resistance to the great integration would be greatly reduced when the next generation of young people who had never seen the glory of Rome grew up.

"Kongming is being a bit too cautious!" Xu Shu said, frowning. He didn't quite agree with Zhuge Liang's approach.

From a practical standpoint, it has indeed maintained stability, but it seems to contradict Xinghan's overall policy direction.

"Very well, if we return victorious this time, I will plead for my nephew."

Xu Shu nodded to Xu Huang and said that after this battle, as long as Xu Gai performs normally, he will go and face off against that bastard Zhuge Liang.

The principle of recommending virtuous people should not be biased towards relatives. Xu Gai's abilities are not in question, so he should not be affected by the political environment.

Xu Shu was promoted from the very beginning of Xinghan's establishment, and he understands best what it means for the capable to rise to the top.

Xu Huang was taken aback, not knowing why Xu Shu had suddenly jumped to this point, but he could still understand whether it was good or bad.

Xu Shu is planning to help Xu Gai secure the position of commander of the Spanish Legion, which is a good thing.

"Then I thank Yuanzhi on behalf of that kid Xu Gai!" Xu Huang said with great surprise, as he was a general who had fought his way up from the front lines.

A well-matched legion is extremely important for a general.

It has an impact not only on future development, but also on one's own life and death on the battlefield.

Xu Huang didn't hope that Xu Gai would bring glory to the family in the future. After all, he had already made the Xu family take off in his generation, and the probability of Xu Gai surpassing him in the future was almost zero.

The merit of following the emperor's lead alone is something Xu Gai could never match. But Xu Huang didn't want his son to die on the battlefield, which is why he was so concerned about this matter.

The difference between the chariot legion and the heavy cavalry legion may not be much, but even a difference of only one percent could determine Xu Gai's future life or death.

Previously, for the sake of the overall situation, Xu Huang chose to back down.

But Xu Shu's remarks made Xu Huang realize that this so-called political problem didn't seem so serious after all.

At least in the eyes of a clever man like Xu Shu, there was something to appeal and discuss, so Xu Huang was about to put in his effort.

Who isn't a veteran? Xu Huang is a true veteran who followed the Emperor from scratch to conquer the world.

Zhuge Liang, who was handling official business in the government office, suddenly sneezed, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

"Is someone trying to cause me trouble?"

Zhuge Liang's intuition told him that something was amiss, but after thinking it over, he couldn't figure out who would cause him trouble.

Many people dislike him, but very few have the ability to cause him trouble.

Xu Shu was making preparations in full swing, and the army was quickly assembled. Apart from the troops left to guard the four directions, Xu Shu concentrated almost all of his elite forces on the surprise attack.

There is only one objective: to decapitate Kel'Thuzad, the commander on the front lines.

Although the enemy did not show themselves, Xu Shu had already learned their location through the movement of the undead army.

This method of determining the location of the enemy commander by directing movement is also a specialty of large-scale army commanders.

Kel'Thuzad was not the commander of the Grand Legion and was completely unaware of this. He thought he was well hidden, but in reality, his location was completely locked by Xu Shu.

Xu Shu even sent his illusionary warriors to test the waters, causing Kel'Thuzad to change positions, which helped Xu Shu to ascertain the enemy's command methods and locations.

After pinpointing the location, the next step was reconnaissance. Xu Shu used his illusionary soldiers to launch attacks in various places, subtly concealing the fact that he was continuously gathering intelligence about the area around Kel'Thuzad.

Perhaps due to the generally low intelligence of the undead army, Kel'Thuzad failed to notice Xu Shu's subtle actions and was instead focused on finding a way to kill him.

Kel'Thuzad wasn't a proper legion commander; he was just a mage who often relied on his subjective ideas and the unique characteristics of the undead army to manage large-scale operations.

They have some strategic vision, but their tactics are a complete mess.

Xu Shu had simulated more than once how the undead army should be used in his hands.

He was confident that with the current configuration of the undead army, he could defeat the Star River army he led, instead of getting stuck in the current stalemate.

Kel'Thuzad's initial surprise attack while the enemy was crossing the river successfully fooled Xu Shu, but in the subsequent battle, Xu Shu, who had almost completely outmaneuvered Kel'Thuzad, immediately realized Kel'Thuzad's true nature.

They directly targeted Kel'Thuzad's wisdom, setting a cognitive trap for him.

As Xu Shu's actions became increasingly bold and decisive, the heroes on the undead army's side could no longer sit still.

Most undead are mindless beings, and most of those who ascend to become heroes are not very intelligent either, but there are still a few who can stand alone.

"Kel'Thuzad, the humans are making a lot of moves. Should we do something?" Sylvanas approached Kel'Thuzad with some concern, as she had a feeling that the humans were plotting something dangerous.

“No need to worry, the Crypt Lords are watching them, and all their movements are under our control!” Kel'Thuzad said leisurely.

"The other side is starting to get impatient; the combined attack of the Heaven and Earth Demons has thrown them into disarray!"

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, the plague is destroying them, we just need to wait and we will win!"

Kel'Thuzad maintained his mage's elegance, dismissing Sylvanas's concerns with disdain, confident that everything was under his control.

Sylvanas sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

As Kel'Thuzad said, they are indeed in an invincible position.

The impregnable defensive line ensured the safety of the Frozen Throne, but it also meant that their undead army would continue to pour in.

No one can escape the shadow of death, and Sylvanas herself was one of those swallowed up by the shadow of the Scourge.

“Alright, I want to take a unit to check out other places, do you agree?” Sylvanas was still a little uneasy, so she decided to take some people out to see what was going on.

"Well, alright. We found something in the east, but there's a small obstacle. You take the troops and take them out."

Kel'Thuzad thought Sylvanas was making a mountain out of a molehill, but he still gave her an army to expand.

After Sylvanas left, Kel'Thuzad turned to the dreadlord who had poked his head out of the void and gave him an order.

"Keep an eye on her. If she betrays you, execute her on the spot!" Kel'Thuzad calmly gave the order.

But after the Dreadlord disappeared, the undead fire in Kel'Thuzad's eye sockets continued to flicker.

"Death will eventually devour you!"

Xu Shu had not expected that there was also discord within the ranks of the dead, and even though they were all hidden beneath the surface, they were enough to determine the course of some events.

"Report! Human harassment forces are attacking again!"

Kel'Thuzad gracefully flipped through the spellbook, reviewing his magical knowledge. After becoming a lich, everything was good, but he also began to forget some things.

"What an annoying fly!"

Kel'Thuzad's face showed a look of disgust. He hated the illusion soldiers, these guys who were no different from elemental elves.

Killing them yields nothing, making them the most hated enemy for the undead, offering absolutely no benefit.

"Send out the gargoyles and drive those things out!"

"Let the harassment forces also strike simultaneously, and teach humanity a lesson!"

Kel'Thuzad devised a plan for counterattack based on experience, but he forgot one thing: experience can only deal with the past, not the future.

After he moved, the number of undead around him decreased.

"Ju Yi, take them all down! Let the Illusion Warriors create chaos, and have the Chariot Legion clear the way!"

Xu Shu seized the opportunity and directly dispatched a large army to attack. The army, hidden in the shadows, launched a surprise attack.

The crypt lord, who had been watching the camp, was stunned. The crypt demons lurking underground had not noticed anything unusual.

Xu Shu knew that someone was underground, so he used clouds to pave a road to cover the sound of the army's advance, and used light and shadow to conceal their movements.

By using the momentum of the illusionary soldiers' attack to lure Kel'Thuzad into a trap, the key is to exploit the time difference.

Before Kel'Thuzad could even realize the problem, the army had already crashed into the undead sky, charging straight towards him. (End of Chapter)
