Chapter 388: Talking on paper, Zhao Kuo (Jin)!
"The Bull Demon Clan was actually wiped out by the human race..."
"These Chinese humans are so powerful! What a pity. I thought I could take this opportunity to get some 'sacrifice' ...Bai Yujing..."
Among the troops of the Sakura Kingdom, there was a man who was completely covered in a black robe and seemed to be taller than the people around him.
Looking at the sky and the Throne of Swords in the distance, the expression on his face was full of shock, and inadvertently, there was a hint of gray mist in his eyes that was catastrophizing the creatures.
But, it’s gone in a blink of an eye!
"Well, this person..."
After the battle, among Bai Yujing's army who was cleaning up the battlefield, Bai Qi, who relied on one person to defeat five four-level bull demons, His face looked thoughtfully in a certain direction...
Within the range covered by the "Military Formation Map", all soldiers were under his control.
Not to mention that as a person with the title of "Killing God", he could feel the emotion of "hate" even in the fierce battle before!
...
A few days later.
Bai Yujing, in the temporary city.
"Sir, after the 200,000 refugees this time have been selected by the 'Military Affairs Office', the number of people suitable to serve as soldiers is about 50,000... Now they have been organized and started training..."
Xia Tian is visiting the "military camp" accompanied by Qi Jiguang and Bai Qi.
There are actually 50,000 soldiers among the 200,000 people. This ratio is a bit outrageous.
However, this is actually relatively normal.
In fact, in a sense, the catastrophic creatures are even more ferocious than those "aliens" that cannibalize people.
Because, most alien races are at least afraid of losing both sides with humans, and will act after weighing the strengths of both parties!
But the catastrophic creatures will do anything to "change their lives".
Therefore, the quality of these people who can successfully escape from the hands of the catastrophic creatures will not be too low.
This is also the reason why we were able to resist the attack of the Bull Demon Clan on the battlefield without suffering too many casualties in the end!
"Stand still! Follow my command. If you don't listen, there will be no spiritual rice to eat today..."
For example, Xia Tian saw thousands of people in the military camp. A tall barbarian wearing "mud armor" in the form of clay, holding various forms of bone soldiers in his hands, was "lining up" in a chaotic manner...
"These barbarians have strong bodies, and some Those with strong cultivation can even confront the Bull Demon head-on..."
Each of these thousands of barbarians has achieved more than five transformations!
It can be said that any human lord will be very greedy.
“With such a talent, the Yellow Turban Army is willing to let go?”
Xia Tian was a little surprised.
“It’s because these barbarians have too strong beliefs...”
Mr. Shui Jing, who was accompanying him, said.
The Yellow Turban Army, whose slogan is "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand", belongs to the "Yellow Sky believers".
But these barbarians are believers of the "Great God Houtu". Although they can almost be regarded as "Taoism", they are still in conflict.
“The most important thing is that these barbarians have too much food.”
“One thousand people have to eat the rations of ten thousand ordinary people every day. The key is that they also have to eat the ground. Vegetarian food grown in... In addition, Zhang Jiao himself needed to cure diseases and save people to accumulate merit, and he could not treat these people directly as cannon fodder to fight against the catastrophic creatures... He simply sent them out directly..."
< br>
Mr. Shui Jing said something dumbfounded.
"That's it..."
Xia Tian smiled.
"I have seen it, Lord God Envoy..."
However, these barbarians did not listen to the Yellow Turban Army's orders, but after seeing Xia Tian, they looked excited and had pious expressions.
Just because Xia Tian directly used the characteristics of the "Colorful Dragon Carp" to summon the projection of the "Houtu God Statue" in the White Jade Capital City Pool.
Then he conquered the hearts of these thousand barbarians effortlessly.
“These barbarians have some bad characters, and it is difficult for ordinary people to overwhelm them...I am afraid that we need to find a suitable person to teach them Chinese etiquette and military..."
Qi Jiguang looked at these The barbarian said with a frown.
As a famous "soldier training" person in history, Bai Yujing is in charge of all military training matters, but Qi Jiguang himself is also responsible for the affairs of the Shenji Battalion, commanding it to fight against the catastrophic creatures that are constantly coming.
But I don’t have much energy for the time being to train these barbarians!
Most of the other generals in the territory are busy and cannot get away for the time being.
"Bai Qi was about to recommend someone to the adults..."
At this time, Bai Qi, who was dressed in black armor, suddenly looked at Xia Tian and said.
“Oh, who does Mr. Wu An want to recommend...”
Xia Tian is a little interested.
You must know that as the chief military officer, Bai Qi has the power to directly appoint military personnel below the level of camp leader.
Generally speaking, only those at the military leader level need further consent from Xia Tian. Is he recommending someone to be a "military leader" this time?
"Bai Qi is willing to recommend someone to train these barbarians."
However, Bai Qi's answer still surprised Xia Tian. These barbarians are only one or two thousand people, and they can only be counted as " Camp owner” level!
"This person just came to the city these days, but he has been unwilling to serve as an official. Bai Qi wants to ask the lord to help persuade..."
"Oh? I want to see who he is. ?”
However, Bai Qi’s special recommendation still made Xia Tian interested.
……
“It’s the city lord, come in quickly!”
A large number of refugees gathered in the temporarily built 'Golden Terrace', and the arrival of summer brought a lot of excitement to the faces of the people living here.
After all, three days ago, on that battlefield, above the "Throne of Swords" pulled by the "Six Horses of Zhaoling", the scene of thunder falling like a punishment from heaven, killing the leader of the Bull Demon, made anyone Everyone finds it unforgettable!
"Ma Fuzi, why are you still sitting and why don't you come and greet the Lord of the City soon?"
Only one person did not move.
It was a young man wearing Warring States robes, holding a pen in his hand and writing something on a "silk book". He was so focused that he even ignored the movement around him...
"Well, Ma Fuzi, what do you mean?"
Xia Tian's heart moved and he looked intently.
[Zhao Kuo (Gold)]
[Level] Extraordinary Second Realm
[Talent] Talking on paper (after experiencing a military-related incident, Zhao Kuo can Learn from it through 'writing review', so that you can grow and improve your own characteristics and potential)
[Characteristics] Tiger Father and Dog Son (Zhao Kuo can inherit one of Zhao She's traits, but in a weakened version, the current inherited trait is 'Narrow Road Brave', which can strengthen the fighting will and strength of those around him, making them fearless of death), command Ruoding (On the battlefield, it can make people within a certain range willing to obey orders, and be calm and not negatively affected by mental attacks)
[Skills] "Paper Military Manual·Authentic·Gold"… ...Military (Expert), Cavalry and Archery (Expert)...
[Description] The son of Ma Fujun, a human hero with medium potential!
"It turns out to be Zhao Kuo..."
Xia Tian's face suddenly became clear. Zhao Kuo is the son of Zhao She, a famous general of the Warring States Period. Zhao She, as a person worthy of being included in the "Top Ten Famous Generals of the Warring States Period", was named "Ma Fujun" because of his military exploits. He is also the protagonist of the allusion "The brave man wins when a hero meets a hero"!
Of course, in comparison, Zhao Kuo's own "paper talk" allusions seem to be even more famous.
"Zhao Kuo is actually golden and has medium potential?"
Xia Tian's face was slightly surprised.
After all, Zhao Kuo has always been a negative example. In the eyes of many people, he can do the same thing as himself.
Aren’t they all defeated and killed anyway?
However, when I thought about it later, this didn’t seem strange.
"War on paper" is certainly a negative word, and the Battle of Changping ended with "400,000 people buried alive", achieving the prestigious reputation of "human massacre"!
But at least Zhao Kuo's name has been passed down to later generations and is widely known.
Furthermore, the evaluation of historical figures does not only depend on "popularity", but is also affected by one's own "ability" and "historical merit".
Although, in the eyes of most people, Zhao Kuo is just rhetoric.
In the face of Bai Qi's rash attack, not only was he defeated and killed, but 400,000 Zhao soldiers were buried alive!
Every household in the State of Zhao is made plain.
Zhao Kuo has an unshirkable responsibility!
However, to be honest, the situation at that time might not be much better than that of Zhao Kuo if replaced by another general.
You know, Bai Qi in the Changping Battle can be said to be in the most powerful state, if not for the fact that his opponent at the beginning was also one of the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States Period".
And Lian Po, who is the best at defense, is going back and forth between the two sides as "the strongest spear VS the strongest shield"!
Zhao Guo has probably been pushed aside.
The reason why King Zhao replaced Lian Po was not only influenced by the rumors of the Qin army, but also because the Qin and Zhao armies had been confronting each other for several months. The national power was consumed too much and they needed someone who could attack. The general who resolves the battle.
In addition, in order to transfer Lian Po away, the Qin army deliberately spread rumors that they were afraid of Zhao Kuo.
King Zhao, who was dissatisfied with Lian Po's defensive strategy, sent someone to ask Zhao Kuo whether he could defeat the Qin army.
As the son of the 64th general of the Martial Arts Temple, "Ma Fujun Zhao She", Zhao Kuo usually considers himself familiar with military literature and is young and energetic. Naturally, it is impossible for him to say that he is incompetent!
So he replied: "If the Qin faction becomes white, I have to think about it. Now it is Wang Lu, who is just Lian Po's opponent. If it were me, defeating him would be a piece of cake!"
This is naturally a bit "overestimating one's own capabilities", but it also shows that Zhao Kuo is still very wary of Bai Qi, and is not completely blind and arrogant!
What he didn't know at all was that at the same time that the Zhao army changed commanders, the Qin army on the opposite side also secretly replaced the general he was most worried about, Bai Qi, instead of Wang Lu, whom he "looked down upon"!
For a theoretical military strategist, if even the opponent's commander-in-chief information is wrong, what can be gained is naturally a disastrous defeat.
However, when he led troops to fight for the first time, he was able to persist for two months when the food route was cut off, and the forty-five troops were not in chaos.
Even in the final desperate situation, he personally led the elite troops to break out and fight.
Although he was defeated and killed.
But it’s really not what the keyboard warrior said: “I can do whatever I want”!
At least, you must know that the ancients led troops in battles with a level of complexity far greater than modern warfare. They were able to command more than 400,000 people and persevere without causing chaos when food was cut off. In terms of "running an army", at least Zhao Kuo was absolutely perfect. Qualified!
In particular, his talent attributes are as "growth" as Bai Qi, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang.
Even if you can't do it now, given time, you can definitely become a "top star" in the true sense.
Bai Qi obviously agrees with this.
Otherwise, when Xia Tian thought of finding a suitable person, Bai Qi would not be so generous in recommending him even though he knew that the person had a "deep hatred" for him!
"I've seen Mr. Xia Tian..."
Until everything is written, the silk book is folded carefully and put into his arms.
At this time, Zhao Kuo raised his head belatedly. After seeing Xia Tian, his face was slightly frightened, but his eyes were very calm!
Get up and salute.
“I heard that Zhao State has three treasures, which are the ‘Dai Ma, Hu Dog and Kunshan Jade’...”
Xia Tian spoke.
Dai Ma is a breed of horse bred by the Di people of Dai during the Spring and Autumn Period. This kind of horse is of outstanding quality. Zhao State relied on its "Hufu riding and shooting" to become the overlord of the country.
Hu Dog, also known as Qinglan, is an extremely rare and precious famous dog. It is extremely intelligent and rare in the world...
Needless to say, the jade of Kunshan is the world-famous Hotan. Baoyu.
“My lord, you actually understand the things of my country, Zhao!”
Zhao Kuo had a somewhat proud expression on his face. As a person from the Zhao Kingdom, someone praised his country, and the praise came from a "Lord of Luck City" with an extraordinary status.
Zhao Kuo, naturally he is proud of himself!
“However, in my eyes, the three treasures of Zhao State are not these, but should be the following.”
And Zhao Yun’s next words made Zhao Kuo’s face even more On joy.
“The first is Lin Xiangru. As a scribe himself, he possesses the strategy of a warrior. He returned the perfect jade to Zhao and left a lasting legacy...The second is that Lian Po, as a military general, made great achievements in battle throughout his life and was the supreme minister. , but still knew his mistakes and could correct them, and he shouldered the thorn to plead guilty; thirdly, it was Ma Fujun. When he was a general, he gave all the rewards given by the King of Zhao and the clan to the military officials. On the day of receiving the order, he did not care about family affairs... so Everyone in Zhao is willing to work under him! ”
Zhao Kuo was a little excited when he heard this.
Because, Xia Tian actually placed his father alongside Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, the pair of "general and prime ministers in harmony" Zhao Guo Shuangbi.
Although in Zhao Kuo's heart, his father is worthy of him, but to be praised by a city lord of Destiny City, as a son of a man, he has a bright face.
“As the son of Mr. Ma Fu, you gave up on yourself just because of the failure of a battle... Now, just because Bai Qi is serving in Bai Yujing, you choose to avoid it and do not dare to serve. This is equivalent to even fighting with him. It's because you don't have the courage... Could it be that you don't agree with what your father said, 'When you meet on a narrow road, the brave will win'?
"It's just that I don't want to be with Bai Qi..."
The expression on Zhao Kuo's face was moved, but it was still difficult to accept it.
After all, serving under the enemy he killed and having to obey his orders was really difficult for him, as the son of Zhao She, who had been praised since childhood.
"Oh, is it because of that battle that your confidence and military strategy were destroyed?"
Xia Tian was straightforward and looked at the other party.
"Lord City Lord, Zhao Kuo does not think that he is inferior to anyone else... Well, I am willing to serve as an official in Bai Yujing. I hope that one day, I can compete with Bai Qi..."
Zhao Kuo's brows After picking it up, he couldn't help but say.
In fact, he was willing to come to Bai Yujing instead of staying in the Yellow Turban Army. He also wanted to come to this "overlord force" to make contributions, but he didn't expect that Bai Qi was also in Bai Yujing!
“As long as you don’t violate military orders, it’s possible... Now you can take those barbarians for training first... Wait until you have made meritorious service in this battle, and you will be rewarded based on your merit. If you really win the unparalleled Merit, even if he is ranked as Palace Master like Wu Anjun, it is not impossible!"
Xia Tian decided to draw a "cake" for Zhao Kuo.
Although, this is highly unlikely to happen.
Because, the master of the White Jade Capital must at least be evaluated by Jade White. After all, Zhao Kuo is only a golden hero with medium potential. With his characteristics that need to be accumulated bit by bit, he wants to I'm afraid it won't take too long to become a Jade Heavenly Pride...
"Thank you, Lord City Lord. Kuo, I will do my best!"
Zhao Kuo finally made up his mind, with a look on his face. He said with a somewhat excited expression.
"Sir, there is one more thing I want to know. Who recommended me?"
Finally, Zhao Kuo looked at Xia Tian and asked solemnly.
"It was Palace Master Bai who recommended you, thinking that you have enough ability to take on the position of leader of this barbarian camp..."
Xia Tian left a word and then stood up and left.
"Bai Qi, actually recommended me..."
After knowing that Xia Tian's recognition of himself actually came from Bai Qi.
Zhao Kuo couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart. He stood there and couldn't even speak for a moment!
