Chapter 2609 Prove Your Ability

...

However, faced with such a result, Xu Huang, who had been watching from the sidelines and keeping himself out of the situation, had a hint of surprise on his face.

"Is Lord Xu unwilling?" Seeing Xu Huang's expression, Li Yan said with a slightly frown.

There is no other suitable person present. If they are rejected and have to rely on themselves, then when facing such a large army, the casualties they will suffer due to internal discord will not be a small number, and even annihilation of the entire army is not impossible!

As the apparently weaker party, if we can't even achieve unity, then the only way we can survive is to rely on the stupidity of the enemy.

"It's not that I'm unwilling, but the choice you finally made is actually the same as what Sima Zhongda said, so I'm a little surprised..." Xu Huang shook his head, looked at the people present, and spoke calmly.

"Sima Zhongda? When did he say that?" After hearing Sima Yi's message, Sun Quan stood up on the spot and asked in confusion.

"Actually, he had already told me before he left the camp, but he told me..." Xu Huang explained the reason.

During the conversation between Sima Yi and Xu Huang, Sima Yi did not directly appoint Xu Huang as the commander of the rear army, but explained the personalities of the various commanders in the infantry corps and finally came to this conclusion.

"I was a little skeptical at first. After all, the command power has been decentralized, and you are allowed to compete and recommend yourselves. This is a good opportunity for you to bear pressure and train yourself. There is no reason for me to give up, but I never thought..." There was still a trace of regret in Xu Huang's eyes as he looked at everyone.

People who have this ability don't want to bear this pressure, but if there is no such pressure, how can they move forward under it?
As for those who have no ability and talent, they are basically not considered.

It can be said that after hearing this, Li Yan felt a flash of regret in his heart, but then he regained his composure.

No wonder Sima Yi did not give a direct order. So that's the case. If we let us compete with each other, and Xu Huang acts as the certification in the end, he will naturally be able to gain command of this part of the army.

But what's the use of understanding this now? It will only increase regret.

Seeing the looks in everyone's eyes, Xu Huang thought that no one present understood, so he signaled to the soldier next to him, asked the soldier to put down his backpack, took out five orders from it, and then unfolded them one by one.

And these orders were obviously Sima Yi's orders appointing everyone as regional commanders.

Everyone looked at Xu Huang in confusion, and were somewhat bewildered by so many orders.

"Originally, Zhongda only gave me one person's order, but I think his confidence is a little unreliable. After all, you might recommend yourselves, so at my request, prepare your orders as well..." Xu Huang shook his head and directly explained the reason for this matter.

In other words, according to Sima Yi's plan, there were no orders from other people at the beginning, because he did not think that anyone else could get the position of commander, not even by nominating themselves.

It is only because of Xu Huang's caution that there are so many orders.

"In other words, no matter who among us becomes the commander-in-chief, there will be a corresponding order book?" Sun Quan looked at Xu Huang in surprise. He had never thought that it could be played this way.

"I guess so..." Facing Sun Quan's gaze and questioning, Xu Huang shook his head and pointed to the five orders.

Among them are those of Xu Huang, Wei Yan, Li Yan and Lu Meng, and the last one is blank.

As for why Sun Quan was not included, it was because Sima Yi did not think highly of Sun Quan at all and thought that the other party had no chance at all.

However, Xu Huang thought of the other people in the barracks and asked for a blank order document for the sake of safety. Sima Yi did not blame Xu Huang for his cautious and distrustful behavior, but believed that Xu Huang could fulfill his responsibility.

Lu Meng and Li Yan, who also understood the reason after seeing the order, looked at each other and finally gave up the idea of ​​explaining to Sun Quan.

After all, if it really is said that Sun Quan is not among these commanders, who knows what bad things Sun Quan might do.

However, judging from this caution and the results, Li Yan and Lu Meng also realized the difference between Sima Yi and Xu Huang.

"We have been staying in the rear army, and Sima Zhongda has never been here, so these orders..." Some bad possibilities flashed through Lu Meng's mind. After a brief thought, he asked seriously.

"These were all written by Sima Zhongda after Ganasis came..." Although he knew that such a reality was very discouraging, Xu Huang still told the truth.

Upon hearing this, Lu Meng and Li Yan's faces calmed down.

Even Wei Yan, who was always arrogant, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and astonishment when he heard such words.

Because such a result means that Sima Yi had already calculated the outcome of this evening many days in advance.

This obvious situation and reality can better prove the intellectual gap between them.

"Sima Zhongda is truly amazing!" Li Yan, who finally reacted, sighed sincerely.

Although I don’t understand how Sima Yi did it, being able to achieve this level is indeed very powerful, and it also makes people understand the gap between them.

This was also one of Sima Yi's subsequent plans.

It was precisely because he realized the current situation of the coalition forces and their weaknesses that Sima Yi understood that the biggest problem in the entire army was himself.

Without sufficient authority and prestige, it is difficult to command others even if one has the corresponding ability.

If you want to establish authority and prestige and make everyone listen to you, you must first demonstrate abilities that surpass everyone else.

However, ability is something that cannot be seen or touched, but can be felt. Naturally, we need to use some methods to prove the ability from another angle.

And the current one is also a proof of ability.

As for how to make Ganasis follow his plan, it was actually a small matter for Sima Yi.

In the final analysis, it was the camping of the army that was the main reason why he attracted Ganasis.

Only traps and tunnels were placed near the gate of the military camp, and the other walls were all in the shape of a "卜" character. Within the walls, there were basically no other obstacles except the tents where the soldiers rested.

It can be said that compared with the stable military camp stationing method of Parthia, the military camp of the Han Empire.

It's like erecting a row of wooden walls directly on this vast plain, and essentially nothing has changed...
