The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 524 Legion Level Talent Extension

"Strange, why don't I see any Huns in the camp? Could it be that my previous judgment was wrong, and there are no Huns in the Xianbei ancestral land?" Looking at the Xianbei ancestral land after being ravaged by the strong wind, Zhang Liao scratched his head.

At this moment, a loud shout attracted Zhang Liao's attention, "General, there are corpses of Huns here!"

"Where!?" Zhang Liao hurriedly looked for the source of the sound, and then saw a lump of something that a white horse soldier was pointing at.

"..." Zhang Liao looked at the pieces that had been chopped into pieces that were unrecognizable. Although they no longer resembled human forms, Zhang Liao could still recognize these Huns even if they turned into ashes. That was a mark engraved deep in his soul that he dared not forget.

"So they are scattered throughout the Xianbei Army as the backbone. No wonder the Xianbei Army's reaction speed exceeds the normal Xianbei Army's level.

However, because the Xiongnu here were divided, the Hu people here had little resistance to the Baima Yicong." Zhang Liao made a judgment in his heart.

The two thousand Huns with ordinary double talents gathered together would take a lot of effort even for Zhang Liao's five thousand White Horse Volunteers to wipe them out. After all, the Huns' cavalry was an all-round cavalry, and the Wolf Cavalry was modeled after the Huns' cavalry.

"Look and see how many Huns are here, count their numbers, and if any of them are alive, give them a final blow." Zhang Liao said to his deputy general.

"Yes." The deputy general took the order and arranged to finish off the Huns, and at the same time counted how many Xianbei captives were left in the Xianbei ancestral land.

Zhang Liao did not ask his deputy general whether he could identify the Huns among the pile of dead bodies. After all, the officers and soldiers who came from the northern border areas could basically tell the difference between ordinary Hu people and the Huns.

"I don't know when Fengxian and the others will arrive." Zhang Liao roughly estimated the time it would take for Lu Bu and the others to arrive here.

Only at this time did Zhang Liao feel that the speed of the White Horse was too fast and it was not a good thing. After all, he could not divide his troops and leave some of the White Horse Volunteers here to guard the captives in the Xianbei ancestral land.

Moreover, even if Lu Bu and his men arrived here, it was unlikely that they would stay here to guard the Xianbei captives. After all, they came out to look for the trace of the Xiongnu leader.

Zhang Liao suppressed his urge to go out and search for the Huns. He knew one thing very well. Given the Huns' familiarity with the grassland, as long as they failed to catch up with the fleeing Huns in the first place, it would take a lot of time and energy to catch up with them again.

Moreover, after hearing the report made by his deputy general on the number of Huns in the Xianbei ancestral land, Zhang Liao felt that the anger and hatred in his heart had also dissipated a lot.

"Two thousand people, are you sure you didn't count wrong?" Zhang Liao looked at the deputy general in surprise. He didn't expect that there would be as many as two thousand Huns in the Xianbei ancestral land. He originally thought that there were only a few hundred people.

"General, I have counted three times and it is confirmed that there are two thousand Huns." The deputy general said excitedly, two thousand Huns.

"Are you sure there is no mistake in the number due to the inability to distinguish the broken pieces?" Zhang Liao asked again. Generally speaking, no complete corpse will be left where the white horse's sword flashes.

"I'm sure." The deputy general said firmly. They, the Baima Yicong, killed so many people, how could they not be able to confirm the number of kills afterwards? This was a big matter related to the accumulation of merits.

"Hu——" Zhang Liao took a deep breath and waved his hand to let his deputy general do other things. He needed to sort out his thoughts.

...

"Wenyuan, it's rare that you stay here and wait for us." Lu Bu patted Zhang Liao's shoulder.

"I'm not stupid. I won't go to your door like a fool." Zhang Liao rolled his eyes. If the white horses under his command had solved the problem of their physical reactions not keeping up with their will reactions, he would have followed Gongsun Zan's example and wiped out the Huns on the grassland.

"How many Huns are there here?" Gao Shun asked. The fact that Zhang Liao could stay here and wait for them must have meant that he had gained something here, which alleviated some of Zhang Liao's inner obsession.

"Two thousand!" This number brought a slight smile to Zhang Liao's face.

"Two thousand!?" Gao Shun and Lu Bu looked at each other. Zhang Liao made a fortune this time. He captured two thousand Huns with almost no casualties.

"It was also a fluke this time. If they hadn't been broken up and filled into the Xianbei Legion as the backbone, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this level of gains so easily." Zhang Liao put away the smile on his face, recalling the scene when he tore open the outer defense line of the Xianbei ancestral land and rushed into the Xianbei ancestral land.

It was truly a thrilling experience at that time. If the white horse had not been fast enough, it would have rushed into the camp before the core members of the Xiongnu gathered their troops, and killed those groups that showed signs of gathering with swords. Then, after several consecutive sword-fighting screenings, the Xianbei ancestral land would have been completely captured.

When Gao Shun and Lu Bu heard Zhang Liao say this, they also remembered the performance of the Xianbei soldiers in the previous battle. It can be said that the Xianbei Army was completely different with or without the Huns leading the army.

With the Huns leading the team, the Xianbei Army could at least compete with the Han Army, but if there were no Huns leading the team, it would be just a normal Xianbei Army.

"Gong Zheng, what do you think we should do next? Has the Northern Frontier Guardian Will made any other discoveries?" Lu Bu turned his head and asked Gao Shun.

"First of all, the Guardian Will of the Northern Border cannot help us with battlefield reconnaissance." Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu, speechless. This guy spoke as if he could mobilize the Guardian Will of the Northern Border to do things.

"Secondly, let's go to Langjuxu Mountain and take a look. The Northern Huns may appear there." Gao Shun pointed to the location of Langjuxu Mountain on the map.

"Langjuxu Mountain?" Zhang Liao frowned. "White horses can run there in a short time, but how can wolf riders get there?"

"It's okay. The secret technique at Taishan can connect the wolf rider and the white horse, allowing the wolf rider to have some of the speed of the white horse." Gao Shun said calmly, as if he didn't know how scary what he said was.

"Uh..." Zhang Liao and Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun in surprise. How come they didn't know about this secret technique that could allow the Wolf Cavalry to carry part of the speed of the White Horse?

Even Lu Bu knew one thing: legions with different talents could not borrow strength from each other. The talent structures of the two legions were different, so how could they possibly borrow strength from each other?
"At first, I didn't believe it, but reality forced me to believe it." Gao Shun sighed. He had been a soldier for half his life, but in the end he had not seen as much as he had in the past two years.

"Here, this is the principle of the secret technique that extends the talent. See if you can learn it." Gao Shun took out a scroll of bamboo slips from his arms.

Looking at the bamboo slips tied with straw ropes that Gao Shun took out, Lü Bu and Zhang Liao couldn't help but think of the time when they were still using bamboo slips. Since the white paper from Mount Tai became popular in the Han Dynasty, they rarely saw bamboo slips. "This, could it be the ancient military secrets they dug out from Mount Tai?" Zhang Liao looked at the bamboo slips in Gao Shun's hand and thought that if it was not dug out from Mount Tai, it must have been created by an ancient military predecessor.

"No, this was done by that guy Yang Ji." Gao Shun's words were full of admiration for Yang Ji.

"It's him." Zhang Liao and Lu Bu suddenly realized that if there was really someone who could develop this kind of secret technique, in their impression, it would only be Yang Ji, who they could hear about from the official newspapers from time to time.

"Take a look, this secret technique is still very useful." Gao Shun handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Lu Bu.

When Lü Bu was reading the secret technique, Zhang Liao asked curiously, "Why did he use bamboo slips to record the secret technique?"

"I don't know about that. Maybe there will be some special effect if the secret techniques are engraved on bamboo slips. Anyway, I don't feel anything special." Gao Shun shook his head.

"If I have a chance, I must go and ask him." Zhang Liao decided. He was very interested in why Yang Ji wanted to use bamboo slips to record the secret technique. He wanted to ask Yang Ji whether, as Gao Shun guessed, there would be any special effects from using bamboo slips to record the secret technique.

Listening to Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's words, Lu Bu stretched out his index finger and touched the etching marks on the bamboo slips. There was an inexplicable power contained in it. If the person who touched it was touched with internal energy or mental power, the person who touched it would fall into a trance. Then the secret techniques engraved on the bamboo slips would be introduced into the person's mind, which even contained the person's mood and emotions at the time.

"How is this method of introducing knowledge done?" Lu Bu was very interested in this way of introducing knowledge. He wanted to try whether his martial arts could be introduced into a suitable carrier for people to learn.

"Fengxian, did you discover something?" Gao Shun noticed Lu Bu's abnormality.

"I roughly understand why Yang Ziyu used bamboo slips as a carrier for recording secret techniques." Lu Bu pointed at the etched text on the bamboo slips and said:
"The etched words on the bamboo slips can connect the essence of heaven and earth, forming a special knowledge-introducing secret technique. When the inner energy or mental power is used to touch the bamboo slips, the etched knowledge will be introduced into the mind of the person who touches it according to the path of the inner energy or mental power."

"Ah?" Gao Shun's eyes widened slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "Ever since I got this scroll of bamboo slips, I didn't realize there was such a method."

"Wenyuan, try to channel your internal energy into the bamboo slips." Lu Bu handed the bamboo slips to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao took the bamboo slips with great curiosity, and then he channeled his internal energy according to Lu Bu's instructions, and then a secret technique appeared in his mind.

Feeling the extra secret techniques in his mind and the obvious swelling and pain in his head, Zhang Liao knew that this thing was not something that ordinary people could use.

"This kind of technology should only be used by those who have achieved internal energy leaving the body or awakened spiritual talents." Zhang Liao pressed his temples to relieve the mental pressure brought about by the introduction of knowledge.

Lu Bu did not express any opinion, but just asked Gao Shun to try it as well.

With some doubts, Gao Shun took the bamboo slips from Zhang Liao's hand, then injected internal energy into it, and then received the same treatment as Zhang Liao.

"Huh? This..." Gao Shun was stunned when he saw the cracked bamboo slips. He had not yet had time to feel the secret technique that appeared in his mind.

"It seems that this secret technique of introduction is also limited in the number of times it can be used." Zhang Liao also noticed the cracks on the bamboo slips.

"Gongzheng, how many people have you given this bamboo slip to?" Zhang Liao asked curiously.

"This was given to me by Gongtai. As for whether he has discovered this secret technique, I don't know." Gao Shun carefully put away the bamboo slips.

"Let's ask Gongtai again after we go back." Gao Shun said to Lü Bu and Zhang Liao, "Wenyuan, you ask Bai Ma to find Wei Xu and ask him to send someone to receive the prisoners. We will go to Langjuxu Mountain."

"By the way, Fengxian, do you think you can learn the secret technique that extends your talent?" Gao Shun turned his head to look at Lu Bu. Based on his understanding of Lu Bu's secret techniques, Lu Bu should be able to learn it.

Seeing that Gao Shun would rather go to Lu Bu than ask himself, Zhang Liao's mouth twitched, but he also looked at Lu Bu with expectation. After all, he had seen the secret technique, and it was indeed not something he could learn in a short time.

"Uh..." Facing the expectant gazes of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, Lu Bu touched the pheasant feathers on his head somewhat awkwardly.

"I can definitely learn it, but I can't guarantee whether I can use it." Lu Bu also felt a little frustrated at this time. He really felt that he could not use this secret technique.

When it comes to martial arts, or leading troops to charge, even if Lu Bu wants to pretend to be strong, he will not admit that he can't do it.

However, when it comes to military command and military theory, Lu Bu will still admit that he is not good at it. After all, military affairs are like advanced mathematics. If you know it, you know it, and if you don’t know it, you don’t know it.

"As expected." Gao Shun nodded. When he got this secret technique from Chen Gong, Gao Shun had already anticipated this situation.

"Gong Zheng, can you use this secret technique?" Lu Bu asked with concern.

"With the help of the spirit of the army, I can do a lot of things." Gao Shun nodded calmly and did not think it was shameful that he needed the help of the legion to complete certain techniques.

"Being able to use the military soul to complete these operations is an ability that others want to have but cannot." Zhang Liao smiled bitterly. He couldn't even learn the secret technique that extended his talent just now.

It’s not that you really can’t learn it, but if you want to learn it, it takes a certain amount of time. You can’t learn it like Lu Bu did by just taking a look.

Lu Bu also nodded. Being able to use the military spirit to complete those techniques is indeed a talent that others want but don't have.

"Forget it. I was thinking of letting you two relieve some of the pressure on me." Gao Shun shook his head. "But with the support of Xianzhen, I should be able to maintain the secret technique until the Wolf Mountain."

Next, the three of them went their separate ways to do their own things. Zhang Liao returned with the white horse, Gao Shun continued to clean up the Xianbei ancestral land, and Lu Bu wandered around.
