Comprehensive website: From the Classic of Mountains and Seas to ancient times

(I am guilty. I sent the wrong message again! I kneel down to apologize! I was too sleepy yesterday)

Defeated at Maicheng.

This was the darkest moment in Guan Yu's life, even darker than when he was forced to temporarily live in Cao's camp.

What’s even more terrible is that this was the moment when China’s prosperity turned into decline, after the Seven Armies were flooded and their power was greatly awe-inspiring.

Mu Yi felt a headache just hearing these words. He didn't see any of the operating space that Zhuge Liang mentioned.

This is another world without history. You parachuted in with your familiarity with history, used the information gap to bully the local natives, and then completed a Jedi comeback.

This is a tribulation. There are no locals in the projection world.

By then, all the people with names and surnames will be gods, demons, monsters and ghosts dropped from the sky. God knows who will replace whom.

Although Liu Bei could barely guarantee that his men were the original ones, it was really unclear whether these people were enemies or friends.

In this situation of internal and external troubles, it is no longer a mess, it is simply a struggle for survival.

"Don't worry, my friend. Although this problem is difficult, there is a solution. However, the solution still depends on you!"

"I?"

Mu Yi lowered his head and thought about what Zhuge Liang meant.

"Since they were defeated and fled to Maicheng, General Guan has very few soldiers and generals around him, only Guan Ping and a dozen riders are with him..."

"Wu Hou wants me to use the fog as a raft to help General Guan trap the dragon and ascend to heaven?"

"My friend, you have misunderstood. Although the fog is magical, but... a god has borrowed the Compass Cart. With this magical object, no matter how magical the fog is, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape!"

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan to deny Mu Yi's idea.

Mu Yi’s fog was so famous that it was included in the list of targets early on.

With the compass car here, the fog has basically lost most of its effects.

"I hope you can explain it clearly, sir!"

Mu Yi was silent for a moment, still not understanding what Zhuge Liang was up to, so he could only compromise and ask Zhuge Liang for help.

When Zhuge Liang saw Mu Yi gave up thinking, he smiled helplessly.

"As you said, General Guan only has a dozen cavalrymen and Guan Ping. If we start from a soldier, the speed will be too slow. So Guan Ping's identity must be replaced by you. You can also show your strength by then."

The projection did not come out of nothing. The only way they could participate in this tribulation this time was to replace the projection.

In fact, it is equivalent to retaining memories and reincarnating into a certain person.

If you are a soldier, you will start from scratch. Let’s not talk about your status and position for now. The real problem is your strength.

Even if he possessed all the memories of a deity, it would be almost impossible to use these memories to allow a soldier to quickly touch the world barrier.

After all, the upper limit of the world is there. Even if a great god passes it, without those specific materials as a foundation, and forcing things to happen, the final result will only be a hodgepodge.

Maybe it will burn out in one battle.

Therefore, it is best for the alternative projection to have its own foundation, so that even if it is too hasty, there are other ways to remedy it later.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the upper limit of the projection world is demigod, which is the so-called level of internal energy breaking through the realm.

The good news is that Guan Yu is the only one who belongs to this level.

The bad news is that the highest level is just internal energy breaking through the boundary, and the army composed of soldiers can completely use cloud energy to surround and kill and break through the boundary.

When Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng, he had very few soldiers under his command. If they were blocked by the main army, they would be doomed.

However, Guan Ping's level is legendary, which means that his internal energy can leave his body. After being replaced by Mu Yi, it will be no problem for him to ascend to become a demigod who has broken through the boundaries.

If subsequent developments continue to be delayed, Mu Yi will still have the possibility of growth.

If it were a small soldier or something, he would have no choice but to overdraw his future and burn himself in exchange for a momentary breakthrough in his level of ability.

"Even if General Guan and I both break through the realm, we can't fight against the army, right?"

After all, Mu Yi came from a military background and was very familiar with the effects of military clouds.

Before exceeding a limit, the cloud energy can completely suppress all extraordinary and powerful beings.

Breaking the boundary happens to be within the range of being suppressed.

It didn't even take tens of thousands of people, probably just a few thousand would have surrounded and killed them.

"Don't worry, my friend! Just listen to me and I will tell you slowly!"

"We have contacted a group of immortals and gods, and they will also land beside General Guan when the time comes!"

Zhuge Liang began to unravel the mystery.

Mu Yi pondered for a moment. Although the soldiers were used as carriers and could only be used as disposable consumables, it did not seem that it would be difficult to make a burst of power in a short period of time and help Guan Yu break through the formation and escape to Western Shu?
Of course, the prerequisite is that there are not so many enemies who choose the same method to surround and kill Guan Yu.

But no matter what, Guan Yu's chances of escape are ultimately higher.

"Even if we have the natural defenses of Bashu, if we lose Jingzhou, the allied forces of Sun and Cao will launch a massive attack, and I'm afraid we won't be able to recover by then!" Mu Yi was worried.

Overcoming tribulation is difficult at every level.

They have no information gap advantage; their opponents know no less information than they do.

Although the vast majority of immortals and gods remained neutral, those immortals and gods whose personal interests were at stake would never give up.

It is impossible for them to use their entire fortune to compensate Guan Yu for gambling.

Therefore, there will definitely be no shortage of immortals and gods who will descend to act as the death squad, intending to crush Guan Yu to death in the cradle in the first round.

We are all immortal gods, and are all downgraded to the level of demigods. Even the worst and most trashy demigod is still a demigod.

Even a pseudo-emperor like Guan Yu also has the possibility of being killed by the opponent, even if it is very weak, but it still exists.

With this calculation, it seems that the chances of winning are slim.

"Even so, the chance of escaping is only 30%!"

Mu Yi pondered for a moment, considering his own and Guan Yu's combat effectiveness, plus the environment, the probability of forcing his way through was too low.

"It's not about escaping, but moving eastward!" Zhuge Liang showed a confident smile on his face.

"The success rate of returning to Shu is not even 10%, let alone 30%."

"The main roads leading into Shu are occupied by Wu's army. You two cannot break through. Even if you travel light and cross mountains and ridges, you will definitely have no chance of returning to Shu."

"Those people didn't just borrow the compass car. As far as I know, they even borrowed Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's listening skill!"

Zhuge Liang's words were like another heavy blow. Mu Yi felt dizzy. These people were really cruel.

First use the compass to break the fog, and then use the listening aid to lock onto their position. By then, even a bird would not be able to fly back to Shu.

"Going west will only lead to death!"

Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand and summoned a map, which was densely marked with Zhuge Liang's deduced results. With Maicheng as the center, there were countless routes extending out to the surrounding areas.

At this moment, all the routes to the west are dead ends, and none of them can lead to escape. Mu Yi looked at the map carefully. Zhuge Liang had obviously spent a lot of effort on it, but Mu Yi was also a general after all, and he had his own understanding of war.

Going directly west is indeed a dead end.

"My friend, are you planning to go to Xiangyang first, and then take advantage of the situation to retreat back to Shu?"

Before Mu Yi finished speaking, Zhuge Liang directly pointed to Xiangyang.

"Indeed, there is such a plan. Even if Cao Wei and Dongwu have reached an agreement now, they are not one after all. Maybe they can fish in troubled waters to have a glimmer of hope?"

Mu Yi thought about it and felt that it was quite promising.

Aren’t those people who are standing against Guan Yu now fighting for their own interests?

Is it possible that people like Sun Quan and Cao Cao don't have their own little tricks in mind?

What must be mentioned here is that the rules for this substitute are that the original owner must agree.

This time of tribulation is also an opportunity for Sun Quan and Cao Cao.

Especially Cao Cao. After all, being taken advantage of by Sima Yi was something that even Cao Cao could hardly imagine. Sima Yi outlasted three generations of his people.

The feud between Wei and Jin was, to some extent, more serious than that between Guan Yu and the others.

The first thing Cao Cao did after he projected his image over was probably to settle accounts with Sima Yi. Also, there was the matter of the goddess of Luo River. The internal situation of Cao Wei was also a mess, and civil strife and division would happen in a moment.

"There is indeed a glimmer of hope, but Cao Wei and Dongwu will definitely not fight each other before General Guan is captured!"

"Then the chances of winning are even greater. Those who want to kill General Guan to maintain the status quo and those who want to take this opportunity to make changes are not united among the enemies!"

"You overlooked one point. The immortals who wish General Guan dead will not sit idly by!"

"They will attack General Guan from both sides immediately. You will be besieged by hundreds of immortals. Even if you two have extraordinary fighting power, you will still die."

"Then the only thing left is to move east!"

After listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, Mu Yi also accepted the reality.

To the north is Cao Wei's Xiangyang, and to the west is heavily guarded by Wu's army. There seems to be no other way but to move eastward.

"With the help of the four sea dragon tribes, our army will march south along the Han River, pass through Huarong Road, and retreat to Shu from the south!"

Zhuge Liang drew a line along the map and made use of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, an ally that Mu Yi had previously brought in.

Some mountain gods and water gods might obstruct him, but without a large army blocking his way, Guan Yu could teach them a lesson in no time.

As for Sun Quan's fleet, it is a hidden danger, but the survival rate is also slightly higher than going directly west. After all, the Four Seas Dragon Clan is still very secure in the water.

To be honest, this is also what makes Zhuge Liang most excited.

Because of Mu Yi's butterfly effect, Yinglong returned, and the dragon clan of the four seas had a backbone. They immediately began to make great efforts to strengthen the dragon clan, and winning over a new emperor was an investment made by the dragon clan.

Moreover, Guan Yu’s most famous sword, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, is itself related to the dragon clan. By then, every Guan Yu statue will be able to support a dragon. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

The Dragon Tribes of the Four Seas really invested a lot of money. They do not have high-end combat power, but everyone has been suppressed to the level below demigod, so there are many aquatic creatures in the Four Seas.

Just gather together an army of only 50,000 and we will be sure to not lose to any elite troops in the water.

"The four sea dragon tribes... the water tribe army!"

Mu Yi touched his chin. Hearing this, he was actually a little eager to make a move. Zhuge Liang's plan was still based on caution. He intended to concentrate all forces together and then study the script for the Northern Expedition and Eastward Expedition.

However, Mu Yi didn't think it would work. If it could work, Guan Yu would not have failed so many times in the previous attempts.

After all, the opponent also has the script, so it is difficult to crush others in command.

What's more, there are smart people like Sima Yi.

When the time comes, the allied forces of Wei and Wu will attack Shu, which will be really difficult to stop.

This is not history, and natural barriers are not omnipotent.

So when he heard about the water tribe army, he actually had another bold plan.

Guan Yu once said, if he crosses the river, I will cross the river too.

Since we have soldiers and generals, why not launch a surprise attack on Jianye and directly attack the Dongwu’s stronghold?

Even if we take a step back, with the help of the four sea dragon tribes, our chances of escaping from the ocean are greater than escaping from the south. If we cannot win, we can just make a big circle on the sea and return to Shu through Central and South Asia.

But the only problem is that the land combat capability of the aquatic army is... a bit worrying.

After all, it is just a projection world, and the dragon tribes of the four seas cannot draw on the local aquatic tribes to join.

Having said that, the reason for creating a projection world of the big world is to minimize the damage to the power of Kyushu.

If the local forces of Jiuzhou were really dragged into the fight, it would be a civil strife, and the Heavenly Court certainly does not want to see such a scene.

"Do you want to launch a surprise attack on Jianye?" Zhuge Liang asked, waving his feather fan.

The corner of Mu Yi's mouth twitched. He had forgotten that this Zhuge Wuhou was so wise that he might have guessed what he wanted to do just by frowning.

"I'm not a pedantic person. I went to ask several military strategists who are good at this for advice, and they all mentioned this plan!"

Zhuge Liang frowned. To be honest, various military strategists and gods of war had different schools of thought, and it was actually difficult for them to agree with each other's beliefs.

However, Zhuge Liang also knew that it was nonsense to expect Guan Yu and his men to mobilize troops like gods, and that the most suitable strategy was to deploy troops in a sudden manner.

So he went to ask for advice from General Tiance, King of Western Chu, and the first generation champion marquis.

Although the answers obtained were varied, the core point was the same, that is, a surprise attack on Jianye.

He knew Mu Yi's style, which was also based on the military situation, so when he saw Mu Yi hesitating, he already understood.

Although he himself did not approve of this risky move, it was just as Mu Yi thought.

It is just too difficult to win with normal strategies.

The basic foundations of both sides are not on the same level at all, and the gap is so big that even wisdom cannot make up for it.

Moreover, with smart people like Sima Yi as opponents, Zhuge Liang felt a little powerless.

After a moment's silence, Zhuge Liang tapped a corner of the map with his feather fan.

"After General Guan flooded the Seven Armies, bandits from all over the country responded. There are also bandit dens in the Dabie Mountains. General Guan may be able to recruit 10,000 people if he raises his arm!"

Mu Yi stared at the place where Zhuge Liang appeared, thinking about something.

"There are also Wuxi Barbarians...but..."

Zhuge Liang felt a bit overwhelmed looking at the Wuxi Man. To be honest, if it were normal history, the Wuxi Man and Liu Bei had a good relationship. When fighting in Yiling, Ma Liang even persuaded the Wuxi Man to join him in fighting against the Eastern Wu.

However, after the immortals and gods descended, it was difficult to say which immortal god would be in charge among the Wuxi barbarians.

After all, they are the Wuxi barbarians, and the one with the biggest fist is king. Unlike those in the system, even if they have big fists, they will be surrounded and killed if their identities are not right.

There have also been gods and immortals who have gone directly to assassinate Liu Bei and cause chaos.

If multiple forces come down, a fight is inevitable, and it is really uncertain who the final winner will be. (End of this chapter)
