Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Sima Yi won a great victory and returned to Xiangyang, thus connecting Jingzhou and Jiangdong into one.

Although he failed to conquer the Bashu region, Sima Yi was still satisfied with the result.

After all, this trip not only damaged the reputation of the Jin Dynasty but also made a name for himself, transforming him from a traitor into someone who might seize the world.

Once this golden plating is done, a large number of speculators will want to take advantage of his success, and he will gain an extra batch of manpower.

Moreover, most of these people came from Jingzhou.

Therefore, Jingzhou was completely undefended.

Sima Yi recaptured Jingzhou effortlessly, and with Du Yu's intelligence, the internal problems in Xiangyang were also swept away.

Sima Yi also had a large number of prisoners at his disposal.

He himself couldn't use these prisoners for the time being, but he could exchange them with others.

"Ten to one? Isn't Zhuge Liang being a bit too unfair?"

After Sima Yi received Zhuge Liang's quote, even though he was usually very composed, he couldn't help but get furious.

Zhuge Liang was willing to exchange one regular soldier for ten prisoners, and even then, they were borrowed and had to be returned after three years.

Sima Yi suppressed his urge to punch Zhuge Liang to death.

Now he's at their mercy, like a fish on a chopping board, and he has no choice but to swallow his pride and accept the deal.

This deal was definitely a loss, but Sima Yi was short-handed at the moment.

The regular soldiers from Xinghan are at least literate and able to write, and Huang Tianji's basic education is top-notch.

The entire upper echelon of Xinghan, including muscle-bound barbarians like Wutugu, are all proficient in reading and writing.

For Sima Yi at this moment, this is the most important thing. As long as these soldiers are deployed to various counties and towns in Jingzhou and Jiangdong, it can be guaranteed that his orders will be carried out.

Then, by transforming productivity, the South can be transformed into a paradise within a few years, thus gaining complete control over the hearts and minds of the people.

"Exchange them, exchange them for 50,000 men!" Sima Yi swallowed his anger and handed the prisoners over to Ma Su to take back.

After sending Ma Su away, Sima Yi turned to another power—Cao Wei.

"How many people do you need!" Sima Yi asked, looking at Cheng Yu in front of him.

He was quite shocked that the other party used living people to refine pills, but the effect of the living people pills was so good that many people secretly colluded with Cheng Yu.

In particular, the Nero region, which extended from Rome, was very willing to exchange prisoners for elixirs with Cheng Yu.

Cao Wei also used this production line to accumulate considerable resources, allowing its entire power to flourish.

After all, as long as there are pillar industries that can continuously support their economy, development will become easier.

Moreover, Cheng Yu and his team have also made changes. Now, the people they use for alchemy are strictly vetted, and those selected are not protected by the laws of Xinghan.

They were mostly barbarians and natives.

In any case, the effects are about the same when it comes to alchemy.

Therefore, this is also one of the items that Huang Tianji observed at the end.

Although Xinghan is developing very rapidly, some of its old customs have been preserved.

For example... barbarians are not considered human.

Therefore, among the various kings who were enfeoffed, elixirs were very popular, especially among Cheng Yu and his ilk.

Sima Yi wanted the elixirs in order to cultivate a group of key personnel.

Zhuge Liang's borrowed resources would always be taken back, so Sima Yi needed to take advantage of having someone to support him and quickly cultivate his own core forces.

"I'll take as many as you have!" Cheng Yu said confidently.

"Of course, we only want barbarians and Hu people!"

Sima Yi frowned; he had to consider Shamoke's idea.

"What about other people?" Sima Yi thought for a moment, wanting to engage in some human trade with Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, then pondered for a while.

"There are four people in your household, I can decide to give you one!"

"make a deal!"

Sima Yi was quite satisfied with the price, since he could make use of waste materials, such as the merchants and undercover agents whose homes he had confiscated and who had been imprisoned.

Sima Yi also knew that most of the people he imprisoned actually still had value to be used if released.

However, he doesn't have that much time to influence people, so he has to make the most of it.

Sima Yi's actions resulted in the loss of at least 100,000 people in the entire south.

However, this also allowed Sima Yi to achieve an unprecedented level of centralized power over the territory he controlled.

No troublemakers, no vagrants, no powerful families...

Sima Yi's will could extend to every village.

This was something that even Xinghan had to rely on Huang Tianji to accomplish back then.

When Zhuge Liang received Sima Yi's 50,000 prisoners, he couldn't stop smiling.

Even if they are new recruits, these soldiers are of great value. With a little training and literacy education, they can be fully integrated into the regular army and become a new regular army.

Three years later, they could resell Sima Yi's work again, making a huge profit.

"Ma Su, take the tiger tally and seal to Yu Jin and ask for five thousand regular troops to send to Sima Yi!"

Zhuge Liang instructed Ma Su that his previous task of having Yu Jin train troops would now come in handy.

"Here!"

Ma Su took the tiger tally and seal, and turned to leave.

"Be careful, don't get hurt!" Zhuge Liang called out to Ma Su, casually instructing him.

Ma Su was puzzled, but he still bowed respectfully and then rode his horse toward the northern suburbs where Yu Jin was.

When they arrived, they could see a battle raging in the distance.

Clouds rose into the sky, accompanied by continuous roars.

Ma Su had just come down from the battlefield when he saw this situation and was greatly shocked. This was the area around Luoyang, how could there be a war going on?

Remembering Zhuge Liang's instructions, Ma Su had a guess in his mind, and he braced himself and spurred his horse forward.

When Ma Su got closer, he saw that the camp's barracks were dilapidated, as if they had been destroyed.

The surrounding area was tidy, but the overall impression was one of dilapidation, as if it had been through countless battles.

Hearing the shouts and cries of battle from within the camp, Ma Su was about to go and see what was happening when, before he could get close, two men suddenly jumped out from both sides, tackled Ma Su off his horse, and then restrained him.

"who!"

The two men moved swiftly, locking Ma Su in place. If Ma Su made the slightest move, he would die instantly.

"I have come to mobilize troops on the orders of Prime Minister Zhuge!" Ma Su shouted immediately, his arm being restrained, causing him to grimace.

Upon hearing Ma Su's words, the two figures paused for a moment, then stopped moving.

When Ma Su produced the tiger tally and seal, the two men clasped their hands in a salute to him.

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

One soldier slipped directly into the tunnel and entered the camp, while another soldier stood straight in front of Ma Su, still staring at him.

"I've long heard that Yu Jin is an expert in training troops, and seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved!" Ma Su, too, had come from the battlefield.

They could easily distinguish the difference between the soldiers in Xiangyang and the soldiers Yu Jin was stationed there.

Their combat prowess is not a topic for discussion, but their organizational skills, operational efficiency, and discipline completely surpass those of the barbarians under Shamoke's command. They might not be able to win in a one-on-one fight, but in a legionary battle, they could absolutely rout Shamoke's forces.

Xinghan's current military system is developing towards large-scale army operations, with little investment in individual and army-level combat.

Yu Jin soon emerged from the camp.

"May I ask what brings you here, Your Excellency?" Yu Jin bowed to Ma Su and then inquired about the purpose of Ma Su's visit.

"I have ordered Prime Minister Zhuge to transfer 5,000 regular soldiers from your command to the border to participate in maintaining stability!" Ma Su said without any pretense.

Yu Jin inspected Ma Su's tiger tally and seal, then immediately clasped his hands in a salute to Ma Su and inquired.

Are there any other requirements, or time constraints?

"There are no other requirements, but naturally the sooner the better!" Ma Su did not understand Yu Jin's meaning.

"What difficulties does General Yu face?"

"This is a long story, please come with me into the camp!" Yu Jin led Ma Su into the camp.

They discovered a fight breaking out inside the camp, with shouts and cries of violence coming from these very people. They were using their numerical advantage to relentlessly charge at a group of people until they were knocked down and could no longer get up.

"What is this?" Ma Su asked, puzzled. He could tell that Yu Jin was very good at managing the army, but what was going on in this chaotic mess?

And why are there so many people fighting against so few people? It seems that the side with fewer people has the advantage.

“This is the difficult part!” Yu Jin sighed, and then explained the whole story to Ma Su.

"I see!" Ma Su exclaimed in sudden realization.

"Is that the First Yellow Heaven Legion?" Ma Su gazed at the battle of the First Yellow Heaven Legion soldiers.

They were indeed exceptionally violent, not only with perfect teamwork but also with explosive individual combat power. Even with the suppression of their strength by the cloud aura, they still demonstrated complete dominance.

"If we have such a strong army, what are those chickens and dogs of the Jin army worth!" Ma Su sighed.

The difference was too great. Seeing Yu Jin's soldiers was already impressive, but seeing Huang Tian, ​​who was utterly crushing Yu Jin's soldiers, made him even more astonished.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will gather the army!"

Yu Jin ordered his men to bring out horns and blow them with a strange rhythm. Soon the battle stopped, and clouds of energy enveloped the fallen soldiers. Then everyone stood in neat rows.

"Such strict discipline!" Just this kind of obedience to orders shows the soldiers' level of competence.

"All personnel are present. Please give the order, General!"

Ma Er strode over to Yu Jin with an air of indifference, as if he didn't recognize anyone.

"Wenze, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly sounding the rallying horn?"

Yu Jin ignored Ma Er and instead dismissed the other soldiers in the camp, leaving behind a legion composed of good men from Xinghan.

"Listen up, all of you! From this day forward, Mr. Ma Su will be your commander. All centurions, come and pay your respects!"

"Mr. Ma Su, please!" Yu Jin gestured for Ma Su to go and get acquainted with the centurion.

After finishing everything, he turned to look at Ma Er and said to him.

"The imperial court has issued an order to mobilize troops; it is not advisable to fight again today," Yu Jin explained simply to Ma Er.

"A war? Where?"

"The Jin Dynasty!" Yu Jin didn't hide anything.

Besides the most powerful legion, Ma Er and his men are theoretically responsible for oversight, so all secrets are made public to them.

Therefore, Ma Er took the initiative to ask, and Yu Jin recounted the matter.

“The Jin Dynasty…” Ma Er smacked his lips.

They would not leave Luoyang without Mu Yi's orders, and beating these soldiers was one of their few pastimes.

"Then I'll take my men back first!"

Ma Er waved his hand, turned around and left. The Jin Dynasty and such were of no interest to Ma Er.

"War..." Yu Jin shook his head; he also wanted to go to war.

Unfortunately, he was not ordered not to leave his post, and he also knew that his superiors valued his ability to train troops more than his combat skills.

The military geniuses are always coming up with new ideas, so training troops is something that can only fall to him.

There are many veteran generals like Yu Jin, but in order to maintain balance within the empire, they can only obediently rest, partly to enjoy their current lives, and partly to give younger generations a stage to shine.

Ma Er suddenly turned back from the front.

He asked Yu Jin with a neurotic expression.

"Do you want to go to war?"

"Of course I want to!" Yu Jin and Ma Er had become quite familiar with each other these days, so he naturally spoke the truth.

"I'll show you a way, but you have to agree to one request!" Ma Er approached Yu Jin with a mysterious look on his face.

"What are your requirements?" Yu Jin looked at Ma Er warily. The face opposite him was somewhat unfamiliar to him, and he instinctively felt wary.

"My request is simple: take the Yellow Heaven's Son battle group with you when you leave!"

Yu Jin frowned, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

He really wants to fight, and it's too frustrating that he doesn't use his skills.

Some people prefer to enjoy their retirement, while Yu Jin wants to stir things up more.

“A few days ago, the Qing army discovered the stronghold of the remnants of the Qing army and they are considering who should go there. Why don’t you volunteer?” Ma Er said slowly to Yu Jin.

Yu Jin frowned and pondered for a moment. This matter didn't sound quite right, but it was still a war. Even if the merit was not great, it was still better than him training troops here.

"I will consider it!" Yu Jin nodded, then planned to go to the government office to see Zhuge Liang.

"Remember what you promised!" Ma Er waved and shouted.

"I can only make requests; whether they will be agreed to or not is not up to me!" Yu Jin rolled his eyes at Ma Er and said.

"That's enough, that's enough, good brother, I'll treat you to drinks tonight!" Ma Er said with a smile, putting his arm around Yu Jin's shoulder.

Finally, we were able to kick the Yellow Heaven's Son battle group away.

A mere big guy like you thinks you can take their spot? Go fight in the war!

If Ma Su hadn't seen him mobilizing troops today, Ma Er would never have imagined such a coordinated effort.

The reason they chose Yu Jin was because they knew his abilities. After so many days of fighting, they were very impressed by Yu Jin's skills in training troops.

After all, they had witnessed firsthand how quickly the new recruits were growing.

If Jin asks to borrow the Yellow Heaven's Son battle group, he might actually agree.

Ma Er was secretly making plans.

There are just too many people in the First Heaven, and even if they take turns accompanying Mu Yi, it would still take a month.

Half of the people regularly come here to train new recruits, and there's a lot of discontent inside. Ma Er is afraid that he'll get beaten up one day, so he's thought of some solutions in advance.

There is only one emperor, but there are two princes. They can at least be considered substitutes and appease the complaints.

However, the Yellow Heaven's Son battle group was getting in the way, so Ma Er decided to leak some information to Yu Jin and then have Yu Jin take them away.

"Hehehe! I'm such a genius!"

Ma Er walked excitedly down the road, then heard a fierce wind coming from behind him. Just as he was about to resist, he was locked up by several people according to their plan.

"You bastards!" Ma Er shouted as he was pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by a group of people.

With routine training cancelled, many people were free to go, and after a quick discussion, they formed a group to beat up Ma Er, the bastard who saw Mu Yi every day. (End of Chapter)
