Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 980 Mediation and Military Training

The First Yellow Heaven Legion really enjoyed mediating this task.

All the frictions between the various legions were mediated by Huang Tian, ​​the First Emperor.

It is read as "mediation" but written as "beating".

The First Yellow Heaven Legion's mediation method was simple: first, beat both sides up, then drag them back to their respective camps.

After they recover, beat them both up, force them to shake hands and make peace.

This process typically lasts three to seven cycles.

Ultimately, through the mediation of the First Yellow Heaven Legion, the two legions shook hands and made peace.

Although it is obvious that this method of mediation is problematic, the final result is invariably that both parties involved in the mediation are filled with hatred towards the First Yellow Heaven.

However, in terms of the results, many legions developed a subtle bond because they were all beaten by the First Yellow Heaven Legion.

Many legions actually formed a unified alliance to fight against the First Yellow Heaven Legion.

However, as the scale of this alliance grew larger and larger, Huang Tian remained carefree and unrestrained.

"They should be more behaving themselves now!"

After receiving news that both legions had been defeated and wounded, Zhuge Liang nodded and said...

Legions that have been defeated by the First Yellow Heaven Legion either submit to its power or rise up in resistance.

Regardless of the type of defeat, the legions that have been defeated will work hard for a period of time, and the overall combat power of the legion will increase rapidly.

"Let me see, who's still in Luoyang now..."

Zhuge Liang checked the transfer status of various generals.

"Yu Jin... would be suitable!"

Zhuge Liang summoned Yu Jin, and the task was simple: to have Yu Jin help train the two legions.

That kind of enthusiasm for striving for excellence is the best source of motivation and should not be wasted. Choosing a suitable commander to train them can make all the difference.

"May I ask how the Prime Minister trains them?" Yu Jin's expression didn't change much after hearing this. Although it was a temporary job, he really didn't have much to do recently.

Asking Zhuge Liang was also a way of asking him to draw up a path for him.

After all, Zhuge Liang was better than him at training troops.

"Train according to this!" Zhuge Liang took out a stack of lists and handed them to Yu Jin.

"Both of these legions are infantry, so these are the few suggestions we can refer to. Just make some adjustments based on the actual situation!"

"This training method evolved from the Wei Wu Zu, right?" Deng Xian and the others asked after briefly reviewing it. "But it seems to contain not only the Wei Wu Zu, but also the Iron Eagle Warriors, and there are other traces as well..."

"Yes, you're right. This thing is a product of several of our military geniuses who modified the Wei Wuzu (a type of infantry unit) as a template. The core is similar, but you'll need to figure out the other development directions!" Zhuge Liang explained.

If this training program were given to ordinary officers and implemented step by step, the results wouldn't be too bad. After all, it's a version modified by various military geniuses, a clash of ideas between several military geniuses.

The Wei infantry were indeed very strong, but they carried too much of Wu Qi's influence. Ordinary generals wouldn't care about this, but for a military genius like Wu Qi, he would change it if he didn't like it, and in the end, it turned into this monstrous thing, completely unrecognizable.

Even if it is completely unrecognizable, it still possesses immense value.

The core principle is unity of opposites. Ordinary officers can simply choose one and use it, but only a master of training like Yu Jin can grasp the details and make targeted adjustments to make training twice as effective with half the effort.

Not only is it more efficient, but the soldiers trained will also be stronger.

Of course, all these methods will eventually lead to an unavoidable situation: the battle on the battlefield. All training will be transformed into battlefield combat. Success will come if you pass, and failure will only lead to death.

A truly strong army is forged through battle; the more people you kill and the more wars you win, the stronger your soldiers will become.

Incidentally, the version that Zhuge Liang handed to Yu Jin was also a heavily revised version by Zhuge Liang, bearing his strong personal touch.

However, Zhuge Liang's intellectual talents were quite extensive, so he also drew on the strengths of many others.

"The First Yellow Heaven Legion as sparring partners? That saves a lot of trouble!"

Yu Jin began training his troops with great confidence, but as he trained, he realized something was wrong.

The frequency with which Huang Tian appears is a bit too high. The two legions he trains have no time to rest at all. At this rate, let alone training strong soldiers, it would be a miracle if they didn't collapse from exhaustion.

Yu Jin immediately submitted a report requesting more legions to be brought over, and Zhuge Liang readily agreed, placing a large number of legions under Yu Jin's command for unified training.

When Yu Jin looked at his more than 50,000 men, he suddenly realized something was wrong. It seemed that he had been betrayed by Zhuge Liang, and he was even counting money for Zhuge Liang.

I only took on a temporary job, training two legions.
Why are you adding more work to your own workload?

How long will it take to train these 50,000 people?
Although he realized he seemed to have been tricked, Yu Jin could only smile helplessly.

A higher-ranking official can have absolute power over a person. At this point, what else can one do but praise Zhuge Liang's brilliant strategy?

You have to finish the work you've taken on.

"Even if you tell Yu Jin directly, Yu Jin will most likely take over, right?" Guo Jia didn't quite understand the significance of Zhuge Liang's actions.

"Of course!" Zhuge Liang nodded affirmatively.

"Then what's the point of you doing this?" Guo Jia thought Zhuge Liang was messing around.

"Of course, it's to ensure that Yu Jin and those legions truly stand together!" Zhuge Liang chuckled, waving his feather fan.

“Emotions are contagious. If Yu Jin goes with a mission, it will actually hinder his training of troops. Only in this state of grief and indignation can he truly become one with the army!”

"Is this the latest theory developed by your military genius?"

"Are you using Yu Jin as a guinea pig?"

Guo Jia rolled his eyes and slammed a document on Zhuge Liang's desk.

"I can't interfere with Yu Jin's affairs, but you have to tell me why, right? My injuries haven't fully healed yet, and you're sending me to war? Aren't you afraid I'll die out there?"

The document was an order to transfer Guo Jia from his current post and send him to Lu Xun's side to guard the rear.

"Just consider it rehabilitation training. Anyway, it's just working in the rear, which is only a little more troublesome than your current job!" Zhuge Liang said calmly, as if he had expected Guo Jia's reaction.

It was a pity that Guo Jia's brain was rusty, so Zhuge Liang immediately assigned Guo Jia a new task after the martial arts tournament ended.

This will allow Guo Jia's brain to keep functioning, complete his rehabilitation training, and return to a normal state as soon as possible.

As the operation grew larger and larger, how could a wise man of Guo Jia's caliber allow him to sink into depravity and waste his talents?

"Is there no room for negotiation?" Guo Jia made a last-ditch effort.

"Kongming, you have to lend me a hand! My injury hasn't fully healed yet!"

"This transfer order has already been reviewed by the Emperor. You should just go and take care of the logistics!" Zhuge Liang remained completely unmoved.

He knew that Guo Jia was simply used to being lazy and slacking off.

It's like a child about to start school resisting the start of the new semester.

From this perspective, Guo Jia truly returned to simplicity.

Hearing that the Emperor had already reviewed it, Guo Jia gave up his desperate attempt to change things. "I'm taking some men with me!"

"Whatever you want, just make sure you can handle Lu Xun's logistics!"

Zhuge Liang waved his hand, dismissing Guo Jia from his post.

Guo Jia was helpless. He didn't want to lie down at first, but it was just too comfortable once he lay down.

Zhuge Liang was now trying to force him out of bed, but he really didn't want to go.

But the harsh reality is that the world does not change according to individual will.

Guo Jia could only accept his fate.

However, once Guo Jia arrived at the city where Lu Xun was stationed, he finally understood what it meant to be unable to stand up for oneself.

Lu Xun dusted himself off and left, leaving behind a mess.

Given this situation, he could start a rebellion today and start one tomorrow.

Lu Xun used military control to quickly stabilize the situation, but now that the army has withdrawn, if he still wants military control, he can only wait to incite a popular uprising.

Guo Jia had no choice but to use his brain to think of a solution.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ma Liang was also racking his brains.

"Brother, why are you so conflicted?" Ma Su asked curiously.

Ma Liang looked up at Ma Su, wondering why Zhuge Liang had chosen Ma Su to deliver the message.

"Did the Prime Minister send you here to give you any other instructions?" Ma Liang sighed, then asked.

"There was no other explanation; everything that needed to be said should be in the letter!" Ma Su recalled.

"Are you planning to go back, or stay here?" Ma Liang read the letter again, but found nothing of interest.

Zhuge Liang's instructions were mostly about details, most of which he had already considered.

"Of course I'll stay and share your burdens, brother!" Ma Su said confidently.

"In that case, you'll stay by my side as a military advisor for now!"

"Yes!" Ma Su didn't seem to mind.

"Now that a formidable enemy is at the city gates, what are your thoughts?"

Ma Liang also knew that his younger brother had always been intelligent, and had been familiar with military strategy since childhood. He had also undergone military academy training and was a capable person.

Moreover, he felt that Zhuge Liang must have had a deeper meaning in sending Ma Su here, so he wanted to hear Ma Su's advice.

"The enemy is powerful, while our army is weak; therefore, we should focus on defending the city!"

"But if we hold out in a stalemate at Bilge, and a surprise force is ambushed outside the city to launch a surprise attack on the enemy camp, disrupt their morale, and make them wary, then we can rest easy!"

Ma Su had clearly done his homework, and immediately offered Ma Liang a suggestion.

Ma Liang nodded. He actually had the same idea. Du Yu's attack was fierce, and his forces were several times larger than the garrison in Xiangyang.

"In your opinion, who should be sent out of the city?" Ma Liang tentatively asked Ma Su.

"In my opinion, this operation is extremely dangerous and cannot be undertaken by anyone but a great general. Shamoke should be appointed as the general!"

Ma Su's answer surprised Ma Liang, who had originally thought Ma Su would volunteer to go into battle.

He had already figured out how to refuse Ma Su, but unexpectedly Ma Su suggested that Shamoke be sent, which was indeed a reasonable suggestion.

"Brother, do you think I'm going to lead troops?"

Ma Su could guess what Ma Liang was thinking just by looking at his expression. A bitter look appeared on his face. The story of Ma Su being executed with tears in his eyes had spread widely among them. Even when Han Xin and the others were in class, they personally demonstrated the difference between a military genius and an ordinary person.

An ordinary person in Ma Su's position would also fail; it's just a matter of time.

Han Xin and his men were different; they led their troops in a counterattack and routed the enemy in one fell swoop.

The whole process was so elaborate and confusing that Ma Su and his men couldn't understand it. They didn't understand why, when they went up against the enemy, they felt that the enemy's army was invincible.

But when the God of War makes his move, the other side is like a complete idiot.

"Brother, please rest assured, I will not lead the troops!" Ma Su's smile became even more bitter.

Like Zhang Liang, he's good at theoretical strategizing, but when it comes to practical application, he's utterly incompetent.

There are actually quite a few people like this throughout history and across the world.

Ma Su now has a clear understanding of his role: a senior staff officer who helps the army formulate strategies.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. You've grown so much!" Ma Liang was quite surprised.

He knew his younger brother well. He had specifically spoken with Ma Su privately today because he was afraid that Ma Su would make a rash promise in public.

"Come here and see how our army is deployed!"

Ma Liang discussed the matter with Ma Su for a long time and found that Ma Su really didn't have much practical ability.

He himself suggested harassing outside the city, but when it came to asking Ma Su to choose a place to set up camp, his suggestion was full of loopholes.

The proposed locations were incredibly varied, and in many places, Ma Liang could tell at a glance how Ma Su had died.

After verifying the results, Ma Liang decisively abandoned discussing the implementation of the action with Ma Su, as discussing it with Sha Moke would be more meaningful than discussing it with Ma Su.

"Any other ideas?" Ma Liang decisively steered the conversation back to the strategic level, which was Ma Su's forte.

"To repel external threats, we must first pacify the internal situation. There are many spies in the city. Why don't we send some spies to spread false information?" Ma Su pondered for a moment and then proposed another idea.

"By mixing truth and falsehood, we can make the enemy lose trust in our intelligence, thus allowing our military movements to be more concealed!"

"That's a brilliant idea!" Ma Liang thought about it and realized that it would work and wouldn't cause any unrest among the people in the city.

Ma Liang and Ma Su had a long talk and formulated a series of strategic policies, the core of which was to defend the city.

A series of orders were issued, and by the time they reached Du Yu, the amount of intelligence had tripled, including a large amount of dubious information.

"Ma Liang is really full of tricks to try and pass off inferior goods as superior ones. I'm actually quite interested in meeting him!"

Du Yu squinted at the intelligence report in his hand.

Undoubtedly, this piece of information, which was a mixture of truth and falsehood, has caused a great deal of trouble.

Selecting genuine intelligence from among them increased his workload by at least three times.

Seeing that the intelligence reports were becoming increasingly absurd, Du Yu simply threw them away.

The army is ready and in position; it's time to begin the siege.

In any case, they cannot escape the siege phase.

Du Yu was also quite troubled. He had been conducting simulated city defenses, making the city's defenses impregnable, but now he was facing his most prized masterpiece. (End of Chapter)
