God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Seeing Huang Xu take back the bank drafts, Fa Zheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the behavior in question was somewhat reluctant, he was the one who made the request, and it's difficult for him to break his word, especially in front of so many acquaintances.

If Huang Xu were to truly suppress this situation, Fa Zheng could then consider how he should live his life for the next few years.

That's not something that can be solved with just one or two jade pendants.

The purchasing power of ten million five-zhu coins is an amount that even Fazheng could not afford in a short period of time.

Although there are plenty of people willing to pay ten million for Fazheng if he just asks, the consequences of doing so are obvious just by thinking about it, so they would rather pay ten million themselves.

Compared to tangible monetary debts, these intangible debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay.

"It seems Xiaozhi has guessed the result as well. In that case, let's go in." Guo Jia looked at Fazheng's appearance and understood Fazheng's deduction and guess, and said casually.

Although he spoke casually, Guo Jia was quite surprised inside.

The fact that the Princess Guard could change his plans and set new goals in such a short time, and accomplish them with such high efficiency, showed that they were even better than he had imagined.

The exceptional quality of the soldiers enabled the Princess Guard to perform many tasks that regular legions could not.

This means that the legion's role is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

If we were to execute this according to the usual practices of a legion, it would be a complete waste of time.

Even though the Princess Guard is a legion with high combat strength, strong defense, and outstanding willpower, it cannot hide its low cost-effectiveness in direct combat.

The excessively long training time and heavy training costs have made it difficult to unleash the full potential of this legion.

The combat methods and strategies that have been revealed so far could be a viable option.

"They can launch attacks from extremely long distances, almost ignoring terrain, regardless of the weather, and maintain strict discipline..." As if understanding Guo Jia's thoughts, Fa Zheng gradually revealed the characteristics of the Princess Guard in this war: a characteristic of non-direct combat.

It can be said that the uniqueness of this battle was entirely forged by the entire legion itself, not only by the abilities of the legion's officers and soldiers, but also by the abilities of the soldiers. Clearly, the princess guard soldiers were excellent in this regard.

“But they are the princess’s guard, not a legion that is good at surprise attacks. If their second talent is the manipulation of light and shadow, the threat they can pose is absolutely top-notch.” Fa Zheng said halfway through his sentence, directly stating that such a thing was unreliable.

"The Princess Guard's talent, in a sense, means that as long as their talent is changed, they can immediately become stronger, even reaching the pinnacle of certain paths." Guo Jia nodded on the spot, agreeing with this statement, but at the same time, he also felt a trace of regret.

Unless the princess guards themselves wish to change someone's talent, it is extremely difficult.

A seemingly excellent willpower-defense type talent, in actual use, is far less effective and distinctive than other talents. "If the talent is changed, they can indeed become stronger, but whether the Princess Guard in that state will still be the Princess Guard is still unknown." Fa Zheng followed the group into the fortress, and couldn't help but sigh as they passed through the tunnel.

Time and life.

Talent is both an inner expectation and an inner constraint; essentially, it's a two-way race.

It is clear that there are some problems with this two-way approach, some of which cannot be resolved in the short term.

The two men's discussion did not affect the subsequent progress and deployment of the army.

Having captured the fortress ahead of time, Guan Yu's army quickly and successfully pushed its battle line to the Wenjia region.

The fortresses along the way showed few signs of battle, indicating that taking them did not require much effort.

It was precisely this situation, which did not require much effort, that made Guan Yu think more highly of the princess's guard.

This unique fighting method and behavior is indeed quite surprising.

By traversing mountains and rivers, circling behind enemy lines, and using everything available to the enemy to launch an attack, they destroyed the fortress with its formidable defenses, thus dismantling the Kushan army's defense system from within. This brought the battlefield into their familiar territory, far from their own planting areas. This was indeed a good thing, a very good thing.

"West of this city lies the Wenjia region. Our army suffered many losses here, all because of the dense network of waterways and convenient river transportation. The enemy could transport food and transfer troops very quickly, making it difficult for our army to gain an advantage in this regard..." Zhang Ren, who had also come to the front, looked at the familiar land in the distance, then glanced at Guan Yu beside him, and calmly began to explain the differences.

Unlike the planting areas of Central and South Asia east of the fortress, the Wenga region here, with its abundant water network and continuous rainfall, has created a completely different combat environment.

“Either we have a naval advantage, which allows us to gain the upper hand or take the initiative in this densely networked river system, thus limiting the enemy’s transportation and transshipment capabilities,” Zhang Ren recalled, explaining the preparations made in the Wenjia region during this period. “Or we can win the hearts and minds of the people in this region, making them rely on us. This way, we can have more intelligence information and mobilize infantry units to limit the enemy’s mobility.”

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu realized the troublesome nature of this place, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

The enemy forces were not only numerous, but also possessed rapid support and transportation capabilities, and even far surpassed them in intelligence systems. These were glaring weaknesses.

Changing these things in a short period of time is not an easy task.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu turned to look at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia, who was being watched, gently shook his head and said calmly, "General Zhang's idea is not unreasonable, and it can be implemented to limit the opponent's advantages first, and then gradually make plans."

Guo Jia wasn't particularly concerned about the advantages of the water network or the local people's support, because he had already devised corresponding strategies for both before his arrival.

What we need to do now, besides further improving these channels, is to wait—wait for the opportunity that has not yet arisen. (End of Chapter)
