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

Chapter 532 Taking control of the situation
"No, we don't need to go to Youzhou. Our army will continue to march north from Bingzhou." Chen Xi shook his head. "Someone in Liaodong will take care of it."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao frowned even more tightly, and then glanced around the central military tent. Zhang Fei and Fa Zheng were not there. It seemed that the people Chen Xi mentioned who were going to solve the Liaodong incident were Zhang Fei and Fa Zheng.

"You mean, the main target of the Northern Huns is still Lu Fengxian of Bingzhou?" Cao Cao frowned, and couldn't understand why Chen Xi judged that the Northern Huns would place their main force in Bingzhou.

"Yes, the main target of the Northern Xiongnu's invasion of the south this time is the Hetao area of ​​Bingzhou. The Northern Xiongnu also placed its main force here." Chen Xi paused and continued, "Not only Bingzhou and Youzhou, the Northern Xiongnu also has arrangements in Liangzhou."

"However, for the two armies in Youzhou and Liangzhou, the Northern Huns can only send a legion of 3,000 people as a morale booster. The real main force is still in Bingzhou." Jia Xu marked the Northern Huns' strategic plan on the map.

"The main force of the army from Liaodong County is mainly the coalition forces of foreign races in the Liaodong area. And the main force of the army from Shanggu County is the coalition forces of Wuhuan and Xianbei." Jia Xu added some details to the map.

"Then there is the main force of the Northern Huns in Bingzhou. According to our intelligence, this army is composed of a mixture of the Northern Huns' own army and elite troops selected from various ethnic groups. The number of troops is roughly around 300,000." Jia Xu revealed the big news with an expressionless face.

"Three hundred thousand?!" Yuan Shao screamed. A three hundred thousand-strong army led by the Northern Huns. Even Dou Xian had never encountered so many people before.

"Our army has only about 250,000 soldiers. Facing an army of 300,000 led by the Northern Huns..." Cao Cao looked solemn and wanted to suggest that Liu Bei gather another hundred thousand soldiers.

Although he did not have an accurate guess about the number of troops under Liu Bei's command, it would definitely not be less than 300,000. After all, when he fought a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, the number of regular troops under Liu Bei's command was already close to 400,000.

Jia Xu glanced at Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and continued: "The army of Bingzhou has about 100,000 soldiers from the Northern Xiongnu, and the remaining 200,000 are basically elite soldiers drawn from various ethnic groups.

These elite soldiers drawn from various ethnic groups, under the leadership of the Northern Xiongnu, can roughly fight the Han army with a casualty ratio of three to one."

"Wait, you don't have spies planted in the Northern Huns, do you? Otherwise, how do you know the troop deployment of the Northern Huns?" Shen Pei stared at Jia Xu. If there were no spies, then how did Jia Xu know the troop deployment of the Northern Huns?

"Spies? Those two should be considered our internal supporters, but the contributions of our scouts scattered on the grassland are also due to them." Jia Xu glanced at Liu Bei who was sitting silently. It was because of this man who invited Liu Yu that they were able to obtain the troop deployment of the Northern Huns.

"Is it true?" Shen Pei was shocked. He didn't expect that Jia Xu could even plant an accomplice in the Northern Huns.

"No, who in the Northern Huns coalition did you instigate to rebel?" Shen Pei reacted immediately. Jia Xu was talking about the internal response, not the intelligence personnel planted there.

"They are Su Puyan, the leader of the Wuhuan Subu tribe, and Jian, the king of Buyeo." Jia Xu said calmly. A few months ago, Liu Yu met these two people at the invitation of Liu Bei, and then the two of them waited for a certain time node to arrive with anticipation, and now the time has come.

"These two..." Shen Pei's expression was gloomy. "Among the Hu people who invaded Liaodong, there are also Wuhuan and Fuyu. How do you know that they will definitely obey your orders?"

"If it weren't for these two, Gongsun Bogui would not have been able to rush back to Shanggu from Liaodong." Jia Xu sneered and did not indulge Shen Pei.

"?" Shen Pei now didn't quite understand what Jia Xu said. What did he mean by that if it weren't for those two, Gongsun Zan would not have been able to rush back to Shanggu County from Liaodong?
"Literally, these two led the army to help Gongsun Bogui block the coalition forces of the Three Han and Goguryeo. This allowed Gongsun Bogui to withdraw in time and return to Shanggu with the white horse of Junhun, blocking the southward-moving Xianbei and Wuhuan coalition forces in the north of Jundu Mountain in time." Jia Xu pulled out the relevant documents from the folder:
"Look, this is the intelligence from Youzhou. With the defense of Gongsun's and Zhang Fei's troops, Youzhou did not suffer much damage." Zhang Fei and Fa Zheng, along with Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Pang Tong and several other young men, should have arrived in Liaodong by now.

In Xiangping, Liaodong County, through Gan Ning's fleet, Yang Ji had already deployed 40,000 single-talented garrison soldiers and 10,000 double-talented soldiers here.

"When?" Shen Pei was very surprised when looking at the information handed over by Jia Xu. He didn't even know when Zhang Fei set out on the expedition. He clearly saw these two men when he was in Yecheng.

“When the army in Yecheng had not yet assembled, they had already flown to Xiangping in Liaodong. By now, they should have led their troops to the rear of the coalition forces of the Three Han and Goguryeo, and attacked the coalition forces of the Three Han and Goguryeo from the front and back together with the Subuyan and Buyeo tribes.” Jia Xu said with some admiration.

"Oh, by the way, after the Battle of Jie Bridge, Yang Ziyu arranged 50,000 garrison soldiers in Xiangping, Liaodong. Now they have developed into 40,000 single-talented regular soldiers and 10,000 double-talented elite troops." Jia Xu added a piece of information.

Shen Pei was just about to ask Zhang Fei where the troops came from, but Jia Xu revealed another big news, and Shen Pei was left speechless.

"You guys, have you predicted that this day would come?" Tian Feng frowned. Whether it was instigating Su Puyan and Jian Weiju to rebel, or deploying troops in Liaodong early on, it showed that Liu Bei had long known that the Northern Huns would attack at some point.

"The annexation deep in the grassland had already begun long before the decisive battle between you and me, but you just didn't notice it." Guo Jia sneered. At first, they thought that the movement on the grassland was caused by Yuan Shao's collusion with the Hu people.

Tian Feng was speechless, and so were Yuan Shao and his civil and military officials. They had indeed noticed the movements on the grassland at the beginning, but they did not care about the annexations. After all, they were Hu people. As long as they were not Huns, the Han army would kill them indiscriminately.

Instead, after hearing the noise on the grassland, they came up with the idea of ​​recruiting the Wuhuan, but before they could implement this plan, the Jizhou army was completely captured.

Ju Yi, with white hair, didn't care about these things. He looked around the central army tent and didn't see the figure of Xu Rong.

Realizing that Xu Rong was not there, Ju Yi narrowed his eyes, as if he sensed something, and looked at Huangfu Song. At this time, Huangfu Song was quietly looking at the sand table, and from time to time he placed some small flags on the sand table to represent the situation of both sides.

Looking at Huangfu Song thinking quietly, Ju Yi frowned. Why did he feel that Huangfu Song was just a runner-up this time?
Ju Yi thought for a moment, then turned to Guan Yu and asked, "General Guan, can I ask where you have arranged Xu Rong?"

Guan Yu opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Ju Yi's dazzling white hair. Since Yuan Shao's defeat, Ju Yi's hair had turned white. If it hadn't been for Yuan Shao's consolation and comfort, it would probably not have returned to its half-black and half-white state. "Xu Rong led 50,000 troops to Liangzhou. The Southern Xiongnu, who had received the emperor's edict earlier, have been controlled by the Northern Xiongnu and are sweeping the Qiang people in Liangzhou and heading towards Guanzhong." Guan Yu rarely spoke for a long time.

"You also have this kind of information." Ju Yi looked at Guan Yu in shock. He felt that the Northern Huns' march southward to attack the pass was planned by Liu Bei's people.

"We basically have our people among the foreign tribes surrounding the Han Dynasty." Guan Yu stroked his long beard. The assimilation of the foreign tribes surrounding the Han Dynasty had already begun.

"Are you going to solve the Han Dynasty's border problems at one time?" Ju Yi took a breath of cold air. He didn't expect Liu Bei and his men to be so generous.

"This plan was proposed by Zi Yu, and then Xianhe was responsible for training relevant personnel and implementation." Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Guan Yu, added with a smile.

"Jian Xianhe?" Ju Yi searched his mind but didn't find much information about Jian Yong. He only knew that Jian Yong's main responsibility under Liu Bei was to be an envoy, and he also represented Liu Bei to liaise with the leaders of the hundreds of schools in Taishan Academy. It was said that Jian Yong often fought with those leaders in Taishan Academy.

"Yes, we didn't expect that Xianhe's spiritual talent would be useful in this way." Guo Jia sighed, Jian Yong's spiritual talent strengthened his understanding of language and characters.

When Jian Yong's spiritual talent first awakened, he could only use it on himself. However, as Jian Yong's knowledge of language and writing deepened, suddenly one day, Jian Yong's spiritual talent could be used on people other than himself. Moreover, Jian Yong hardly ever actively developed his spiritual talent. He almost relied on his basic qualities to promote the continued deepening of his spiritual talent.

Then one day, Yang Ji, who learned about the effect of Jian Yong's spiritual talent, asked Jian Yong if he could use his successfully deepened spiritual talent to train those intelligence personnel who were to be sent to foreign tribes. After all, if they wanted to successfully infiltrate foreign tribes, they had to learn the language, not to mention the foreign writing.

Then Jian Yong had one more task. In addition to studying the origin of words and big dictionaries, and fighting with the leaders of hundreds of schools in the academy, Jian Yong opened a language training class.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others also heard the conversation between Ju Yi and Guan Yu, and then looked at the sand table that Huangfu Song had just set up. Sure enough, flags representing the Northern Huns and Xu Rong appeared in the Liangzhou area on the sand table.

"No wonder I don't see Xu Laoer..." Hua Xiong looked at the flag representing Xu Rong on the sand table, wondering whether he should send a message to Xu Rong, asking him to get him a few thousand qualified Qiang cavalry auxiliary soldiers when dealing with the Qiang captives.

"By the way, could that fellow Zi Yu have also deployed a detachment of troops in Guanzhong?" Cao Cao counted the number of troops in Xu Rong's army and found that it was the same as the number led by Zhang Fei in Liaodong.

"No, the 50,000 troops led by Xu Rong were brought from Luoyang." Jia Xu replied. He also brought the 50,000 troops from Luoyang. The purpose of bringing them there was to quickly control the Guanzhong area.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others took one look at Liu Bei who was sitting upright, and couldn't help but complain in their hearts that Liu Bei was really good at making preparations for both scenarios.

"Okay, this meeting is over. Everyone go back and have a good night's rest. We will enter the Taihang Mountains tomorrow." Chen Xi announced the end of the meeting.

However, although Chen Xi announced the end of the meeting, most people did not leave the central military tent to rest, but gathered around the sand table set up by Huangfu Song to deduce the situation.

Liu Bei and Chen Xi walked out of the central army tent, and Liu Bei said to Chen Xi, "I heard that Yizhou is clamoring to send troops to the northern border."

"The only thing left is to make a fuss. After all, it is not an easy task for the Yizhou army to leave Yizhou. What's more, Zi Yu hasn't even repaired the Micang Road yet." Chen Xi shrugged. Even if Liu Zhang made a fuss, he couldn't drive the Yizhou army out of Yizhou.

"How did Zi Yu appease my younger brother?" Liu Bei asked curiously. He knew that Chen Xi and Yang Ji had always been in contact. After all, the communication Xuanxiang developed by Yang Ji was built based on Chen Xi's spiritual talent. Even if there was no large-scale communication Xuanxiang in Yecheng, Chen Xi could use his spiritual talent to let Yang Ji send an illusion projection over.

"How can we appease them? Of course, we can let the furious Yizhou governor vent his anger on the barbarians in Yizhou.

Oh, because Zhang Lu has not been dealt with yet, the governor of Yizhou cannot mobilize troops against the Yizhou barbarians yet, so the governor of Yizhou can only keep harassing Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao, the deputy governors of Yizhou. "Chen Xi said with a smile, Liu Zhang is really a guy that makes people wonder what to say.

"Is that so?" Liu Bei didn't care about Liu Zhang's current situation. After all, given the terrain of Yizhou, the Yizhou army really couldn't leave Yizhou and head north in a short period of time.

"Did Zi Yu say when the Micang Road will be completed?" Liu Bei thought of another question.

"There's probably still half a month left. Now the governor of Yizhou is no longer harassing Zhang Ziqiao, but is going to the construction site to have a fight with Zi Yu." Chen Xi shook his head. It seemed that Liu Zhang's mind had gone completely crazy, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a thing as having a fight with Yang Ji.

"Putting plaster?" Liu Bei pulled his mouth. Is there something wrong with Liu Zhang's brain? If he wants to quickly build the Micang Road, he might as well send more people to the construction site to help. What's the point of doing it by himself?

"I don't know what the situation is with the Governor of Yizhou, and Zi Yu didn't elaborate on this matter." Thinking of the picture projected by Yang Ji, Chen Xi couldn't help laughing. The sight of a fat man trying hard to integrate into the legion and gain the ability to play in the mud was really hilarious.

"How is Zi Yu's operation in Nangui? Is there any progress? Or has he not yet left the area of ​​Baicheng Kingdom?" Liu Bei talked about another thing in a very jumpy manner.

"No, he is now organizing the people of the Baisheng Kingdom to resist the Kushan army. It seems that he wants to obtain a suitable identity in this way." Chen Xi said with a strange look on his face. He didn't expect that Yang Ji would play the trick of the rebels. It was obvious that he could gain a lot of supporters by just creating a wave of gods and Buddhas descending to the world.
