Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

The traditions inherited from the primitive period of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are quite useful.

The intense, real fighting allowed a group of new recruits to grow extremely quickly.

Especially after the fragments of the Order Hymn researched a setting similar to a safe zone, making it impossible for sparring between recruits to truly kill their opponents, this growth became even more terrifying.

The military system has been able to tolerate this much until now thanks to places like this, which allow them to vent their violence internally.

But these can never compare to real war. Without the tempering of death, recruits can never become true warriors.

When Zhuge Liang came out of the government office, a group of veterans, around fifty or sixty years old, were pruning the trees in front of the government office with swords by the roadside. They all bowed when they saw Zhuge Liang pass by.

"I remember you should have retired by now?" Zhuge Liang glanced at them, his photographic memory making him realize that these veterans should have retired by now.

"The Emperor is merciful and ordered us to be rehired!" The leading veteran sighed. "We originally planned to go to the New World to explore, but the Emperor stopped us and rehired us when he passed by."

"I'm getting old, and my passion has faded. This is the kind of work I can only do now." As he spoke, his sword didn't stop, and he shaved the bushes so smoothly that there wasn't even a burr.

Zhuge Liang's eyes twitched at the sight. If he remembered correctly, the commander in front of him was one of the few remaining veterans of Xinghan, an old soldier who could reliably take down two miracle soldiers in a desperate fight.

"The military is going to conduct a large-scale screening and investigation recently. Are there any of you who want to become instructors?"

Zhuge Liang asked casually, not caring about revealing the information to these people. After all, he was about to issue a decree, and the news would spread in less than a quarter of an hour.

"I'd better not go."

After some thought, the veterans declined Zhuge Liang's invitation. They were now practically retired, and the moment they were persuaded to return, they had lost much of their fighting spirit. Now, guarding the palace gates was their way of contributing.

Moreover, they are all veterans who fought their way in during the early days of the empire. They have already settled down in Luoyang and are working in the government office. They can also go home to enjoy their retirement.

People are ultimately diverse; some hope to die on the battlefield, while others simply wish for peace and safety.

"Alright, you guys continue, I won't bother you anymore!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, said a few words casually, and turned to walk out of the government office.

After talking with the veterans, he realized that he might have been overthinking things.

While there are many hawks in the military who advocate for war, there are also doves among them.

Although the presence of doves in the military is awkward, they are also a key force in applying the brakes. Anything will become significantly distorted once it crosses a certain limit.

Zhuge Liang was always worried about this. He controlled the direction of the Xinghan Empire's progress, so he had to consider everything carefully and insisted that war was for the sake of stability.

But after meeting these veterans, Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that the older generation of Xinghan had basically experienced brutal wars.

No matter how crazy the younger generation is, the older generation has the power to put the brakes on. In this sense, this stage is actually the most suitable for starting a war.

If they wait a few more years, the older generation's power will gradually decline, and they will truly have no chance to stop the new generation from launching extreme wars.

With a clear mind, Zhuge Liang quickly summoned the Tang Dynasty's ambassador stationed in Xinghan.

"We plan to send a million troops to participate in the war against the Heavenly Court. Are you willing to cooperate with our army?"

Zhuge Liang got straight to the point and stated his requirements.

The ambassador was taken aback at first, then overjoyed, and immediately said that he would contact the Tang Dynasty, as they were very willing to cooperate with Xinghan.

Because this was one of his missions in staying in Xinghan, which was to persuade Xinghan to join the war against the Heavenly Court.

The Tang Dynasty needed support; they were truly overwhelmed facing the immense power of the Heavenly Court alone.

If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Court could never be completely unified, the Tang Dynasty might not have been able to last so long.

The fact that Xinghan suddenly wants to get involved is absolutely fantastic news for the Tang Dynasty.

Upon learning this news, the Tang Dynasty immediately packaged up the intelligence they had and sent it to Zhuge Liang.

After reading the intelligence, Zhuge Liang looked at Bai Qi with a strange expression.

"What are your thoughts, Lord Wu'an?"

"I have no particular thoughts. These supernatural things are nothing more than a way to kill someone!" Bai Qi casually left the intelligence report on the table.

This time, the Tang Dynasty's enemies are the Heavenly Court, but to be precise, the Zhou Empire under the Heavenly Court and Kunlun, which is controlled by the Queen Mother of the West.

The one in charge of the command was the reincarnation of the sacred song, known as the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

Bai Qi didn't have much of a feeling about it. Although the Zhou Dynasty was not far from the Spring and Autumn Period, it was still very unfamiliar to him.

"Then how about you, Lord Wu'an, take command?" Zhuge Liang asked Bai Qi with a smile.

"I can't leave here, and not only me, Han Xin and Wu Qi can't leave either!" Bai Qi waved his hand, indicating to Zhuge Liang not to look for them.

"Our research is at a critical stage right now, you should find someone else to take the lead!"

Bai Qi wasn't making excuses; rather, their research had indeed entered a critical phase, and none of them could leave.

"A new modification to the Essence, Qi and Spirit system?" Zhuge Liang was somewhat surprised. He had always regarded this as a project where the three of them were trying to swindle funding. If it weren't for the sporadic outputs that had been generated all along, he would have cut the funding long ago.

I never expected that the three of them would create something so big without making a sound.

Han Xin felt that the cloud system had an upper limit, so he dragged Bai Qi and Wu Qi along and insisted on merging and upgrading the essence, energy and spirit system.

It sounds very unreliable, at least not in Zhuge Liang's eyes. He was a military genius, and he understood the difficulty involved. He didn't expect it to actually produce results.

"We're almost there, we need time!"

Bai Qi waved his hand, saying that he wouldn't have come here if Zhuge Liang hadn't emphasized that there was something important to discuss.

The joint operation with the Tang Dynasty is indeed a major event, but for them at the moment, it is not that important.

Zhuge Liang considered the situation and realized that he couldn't move, Sun Wu was with Yuan Shikai, and Bai Qi, Han Xin, and Wu Qi all had other matters to attend to.

It seems there's only one person left who can be sent out.

"King Wu of Song, are you capable of taking on this command?" Zhuge Liang asked Yue Fei.

"Leave it to me!"

Yue Fei calmly accepted the task. Since conquering the Song Dynasty, he rarely took command personally, leaving most of the time to Han Shizhong.

He himself studied better policies for governing the country, compiled all his knowledge into a military treatise, and placed it in military academies for future generations to study.

In recent years, he has become somewhat lax in military affairs and has rarely had the opportunity to personally take action.

Like Zhuge Liang, neither of them could study military affairs as purely as Han Xin and Bai Qi. In fact, although they were getting older, their military abilities had declined considerably.

But a military genius is still a military genius; even if he's rusty, he's not someone a large-scale army commander can easily fool. The fact that Yue Fei was willing to lead the expedition already guaranteed that there were no issues with his command.

"If you want those legions to accompany you, I will help you coordinate and redeploy them as much as possible."

Zhuge Liang attached great importance to the joint operation with the Tang Dynasty, so he planned to select a group of the most elite troops to participate.

"I'm not picky, but I need an auxiliary military spirit to accompany me!" Yue Fei shook his head. He had the fully-equipped Beiwei Army as a pillar, so he didn't care much about the others.

As a military genius, using military formations to create elite troops was no big deal for Yue Fei. In addition, given the current average level of the regular army, Yue Fei felt there was nothing to complain about.

"The Dijiang Legion, the Imperial Scepter, the Council Guard—which do you want?" Zhuge Liang asked, pulling out the list of auxiliary military spirits.

The three auxiliary military spirit legions have also undergone some minor changes in recent years.

The Dijiang Legion focuses on battlefield buffs; the range is average, the buffs are high, and it can also weaken the enemy.

The Imperial Scepter focuses on legion bonuses and can only raise ten Royal Guards to the third talent level.

The Parliamentary Guard focuses on providing buffs to the entire army, covering a very wide area, but the buff efficiency is generally average.

"The Imperial Scepter!" Yue Fei pondered for a moment and chose the Imperial Scepter.

Zhuge Liang was somewhat surprised, but he didn't say anything. In his eyes, the Imperial Scepter was the least cost-effective military spirit.

On the battlefield of the Imperial War, with clouds, military formations, and various tactics employed, there was no significant difference in strength between the Imperial Guard Legion and the Three Talent Legion; the difference lay more in the relationship of talent counterplay.

But since Yue Fei had spoken, he silently handed the imperial scepter to Yue Fei.

The composition of a regular legion is no different for a war god, since he can reset his talents at any time, as long as the quality of his troops is sufficient.

Only the concepts of military spirit and miracles need further consideration.

"What about miracles?"

"First Yellow Heaven, Feathered Forest Wolf Riders, the rest are up to you!"

With the sharpest blade, the most versatile legion, and the Beiwei Army as the strongest shield, Yue Fei didn't have much need for other legions.

The God of War is an existence capable of creating something from nothing; for them, most things can be omitted.

It might be hard for others to understand, but Zhuge Liang understood very well that this was not arrogance, but rather confidence in his own abilities.

"There are several places where the Miracle Legion needs to be stationed, so the only free space is the Kshatriya Warrior Legion!"

Yue Fei nodded. One more miracle is always a good thing, as it is one of the few battlefield variables that are not under the control of the God of War.

Zhuge Liang mobilized a million troops from various regions for Yue Fei, including many powerful legions. This was comparable to the surprise attack on the Qing court years ago.

Yue Fei took stock of his troops and realized that this was the first time he had fought such a well-funded battle. Not only were his logistics guaranteed, but he also had an air force accompanying him. He was very confident that he could conquer a regional empire.

After obtaining intelligence from the Tang Dynasty and verifying it, Yue Fei's forces embarked on their expedition in a grand procession.

This war between the Tang Dynasty and the Heavenly Court is a war spanning multiple worlds, with three main battlefields. The Tang Dynasty reserved one of them for the Star River.

"Marshal Yue, I, Old Cheng, will follow you in this battle!"

Since it was a joint operation, the Tang Dynasty also left 50,000 men, led by General Cheng Yaojin, who immediately made his stance clear upon arrival.

At least on this battlefield, Yue Fei was the main force, and he only played a supporting role, mostly serving as a reminder of common sense.

Yue Fei was very satisfied with Cheng Yaojin. This kind of smooth-talking officer knew how to behave and wouldn't cause too much trouble.

"General Cheng, I wonder how far the war has progressed?"

Yue Yun asked curiously, "The news they received said that war had already started, but when they arrived, they didn't see any fighting."

"Fighting has already broken out on several other battlefields, and it could erupt here at any moment, especially since the enemy should have noticed that we've withdrawn troops from this area..."

Before Cheng Yaojin could finish speaking, a crisp sound rang out between heaven and earth, and then the stars appeared in broad daylight. A beam of light filled with a wild and untamed aura pierced through the sky, and then transformed into countless threads that spread out in all directions.

Yue Fei instinctively activated the isolation formation, trying to keep these silk threads out.

"Marshal, be careful! These threads contain the bloodline information of Kunlun demons. Once they are integrated into the body, soldiers with weak wills will be controlled by West Kunlun," Cheng Yaojin warned in a timely manner.

What is this?

Lu Bu, skilled and daring, reached out to make contact, and then the bloodline information began to erode Lu Bu, causing his body to visibly mutate.

The majestic voice of the deity appeared directly in Lü Bu's mind, wanting him to return to his primitive state and submit to his rule.

In the next instant, it was shattered by Lu Bu's divine will.

"Greedy Wolf?"

Lu Bu reached out and pulled the silk thread out of his body, sensing the information within with great interest.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Lü Bu swung his halberd and unleashed a powerful horizontal slash at the sky full of silk threads.

A huge hole suddenly appeared in the dense silk threads, and nearly a third of the threads disappeared into the air in an instant.

But even more threads fell upon the soldiers of Xinghan.

Everyone who came into contact with them underwent physical mutations, but almost no one lost control and returned to normal within a few breaths.

"What a domineering show of force!"

Yue Fei gazed at the place beneath the shattered sky, where a large number of demonic beasts and human forces were gathering.

"The Star River Army is indeed magnificent!"

Cheng Yaojin was somewhat surprised. When the Tang Dynasty first encountered this move, it suffered quite a few losses, yet Xinghan only experienced a minor disturbance before the attack was stopped.

This is enough to demonstrate how determined the soldiers of the Xinghan army were this time.

However, Cheng Yaojin did not expect that this was part of the special effect of Yue Fei's military prowess, and that the army led by Yue Fei would be doubly disciplined.

External erosion failed to shake the soldiers' resolve to abide by military discipline, and naturally could not erode or take over their bodies.

Yue Fei absorbed a thread with great interest, and in a daze, he seemed to see himself transform into a golden roc soaring in the sky.

"The Golden-Winged Roc?"

Yue Fei chuckled lightly, then crushed it with his divine will.

"These reincarnations of sacred hymns are far more troublesome than the fragments of sacred hymns!" (End of Chapter)
