Chen Xi could completely understand this. As one of the Four Sages who stood at the pinnacle of military strategy, it was normal for them to have strong self-confidence.
For them, although the Binshi Demon God was powerful, they could see from the Four Saints Bai Qi, who came a little later than Sun Wu, that if they really hardened their hearts, it was only a matter of time before they killed all of these things on the battlefield.
Therefore, the demon god of the Binshi era in Wu Zixu's time was more like research material to the two of them, or the so-called raw material. So the two of them did not consider that they would capsize. By the time they realized that they seemed to be making a mistake, Sun Wu had no time left. Wu Qi was even caught by the nobles of Chu when the King of Chu died, and was taken away with him.
As a result, the two of them left behind a terrifying amount of trouble. However, even with such trouble, they managed to suppress it for many years through their own methods. Therefore, when facing Chen Xi, they were still able to easily explain the situation.
However, what is relatively easy for the Four Sages is quite abstract for Huangfu Song and others, especially since Sun Tzu and Wu Qi really didn't hold back when they did this, so the things they left behind are extremely absurd in terms of their upper limit.
"When that person left, they should have taken the most troublesome part, which is the theoretically existing nine-fold smelting, with them. What was left on the earth was only the seventh or eighth fold. However, due to their condition and the realities of the situation, they couldn't take too much with them. They could only take some of the truly threatening parts." Chen Xi explained the situation when Sun Wu left with a bit of exhaustion. When he ran towards Guixu, he was incredibly eager, clearly not wanting to stay on the earth any longer.
"But the rest are not easy to deal with either. Because of the existence of the Butterfly Transformation lineage talent, the Binshi Demon Gods of Yunmengze are divided into many categories. Although from a military perspective, being too specialized is not entirely a good thing, under controllable conditions, specialization will bring an increase in combat power." Chen Xi looked at Huangfu Song, seemingly with a questioning tone. In fact, Chen Xi knew this best.
Highly specialized things require specialized people to use them, which means more refined branches. The margin for error will decrease, but the specificity will be greatly improved. There are both advantages and disadvantages, but from the perspective of future military development, specialization and specificity should be the right path.
The only drawback is that specialized tools can only be used by specialized people, and highly specialized tools place considerable demands on both the user and the commander.
Considering that Sun Tzu, as the commander, can disregard the issue of leadership under certain conditions and only need to consider the user, and if the user is an entity transformed from a demon god...
"In other words, many demon gods are not actually combat-oriented, but rather functional, right?" Huangfu Song instantly understood what he was about to face.
"What are the most common functions?" Zhou Yu asked with some curiosity.
"It has the property of connecting qi channels, which can transfer life reserves and enhance vision and observation capabilities," Chen Xi said succinctly. Huangfu Song and Guan Yu exchanged a glance upon hearing this; this thing sounded somewhat familiar.
"Isn't this part of the Danyang soldiers' characteristics? No, the Danyang soldiers can transfer power, but the requirements for transferring life are a bit too high." Zhou Yu also spoke with a thoughtful look. They were all considered to be among the top military strategists in human history, so they knew a lot about these things.
“Then you should think about where Danyang’s strange talent came from.” Chen Xi sighed and said, “Maybe it also comes from that line. After all, you know about the location and stuff. It has indeed been there since ancient times.”
"Are you sure you can't concentrate your power?" Guan Yu asked with a hint of caution.
The claim that Danyang is invincible among its peers during the day is no joke. With its 360-degree field of view, cooperative attacks, and other advantages, any legion can only defeat a Danyang of the same level by fighting head-on during the day, and Danyang has a huge advantage in head-on confrontations.
"It shouldn't be possible. In that era, the technology hadn't been developed to that extent. The Demon God had many advantages, but its shortcomings were also very clear. It was suppressed by Sun Quan and Wu Qi for six or seven hundred years. There were big problems with the innovation of talent. It was still using the version of talent from the Spring and Autumn Period. If it were the one that has been innovated now..." Chen Xi said with a somewhat complicated expression.
To be fair, the elite talents of the Spring and Autumn Period were not bad. For example, Jing Yuan's Dream Chaser and No Distance are considered excellent elite talents even in modern times. However, they are only excellent. At present, there are several talents in the archery category with higher potential than Dream Chaser, and some are even stronger in all aspects. As for No Distance, it has basically been replaced by the talents of the Intentional Movement category.
It can only be said that immortals and gods are immortals and gods, but the development of the foundation still relies on the backbone that exists like a tidal wave. The existence of immortals and gods is more about breaking through that layer of window paper.
Therefore, while the Bing Shi Demon God is powerful, it is not invincible. If it were a modern version of the Bing Shi Demon God, it would definitely be a formidable opponent with elite warriors as its core, and its combat power would be purely heaven-defying.
"I won't go this time. I might not be able to adapt to the situation in the south." Huangfu Song gave his answer directly after hearing the news. This wasn't an attempt to shirk responsibility, but rather a reflection of the fact that Huangfu Song's current condition was indeed not suitable for going to the south.
“My condition isn’t good either. If I can stay in Chang’an for a while, I shouldn’t leave. Even with the remaining time, I probably won’t be able to completely resolve things on Yunmeng’s side.” Zhou Yu touched his forehead, analyzed the situation rationally, and gave his answer.
Zhou Yu hasn't completely resolved the issue of his soul and body yet. If he runs off to Yunmengze without the assistance of the Han Empire's will, he might soon separate from his body, resulting in him being carried back.
According to Zhou Yu's estimate, he could only stay away from here for no more than a month, and he didn't think the situation in Yunmeng could be resolved in a month.
"Then I'll have to go myself." Seeing that neither Huangfu Song nor Zhou Yu could go, Guan Yu didn't say anything. After all, this was his elder brother's territory, so he, Guan Yu, would protect it. Besides, Guan Yu knew very well how to fight and where to mobilize troops.
“Hmm, Zichuan, you’re not going to conduct a troop mobilization test, are you? Instead of conducting the troop mobilization test in the five northern states in Jizhou, why don’t we change the location and conduct the troop mobilization test in the five southern states?” Fa Zheng suggested. After all, Chen Xi definitely couldn’t go to Jizhou to conduct the troop mobilization test at this stage, but this matter couldn’t be delayed, so why not test it together in Jingxiang?
"Well, it's not impossible," Chen Xi said after thinking for a moment. He had considered this when he came back before. After all, it was impossible not to verify it. If the mobilization of three million troops was not verified in advance, who knows what kind of problems would arise? So the things that needed to be done still had to be done. It was just that with the chaos in Yunmeng, Chen Xi was somewhat unable to go to Jizhou.
"Jingzhou Governor Liao Li is probably heartbroken," Zhou Yu added from the side.
The plan to mobilize troops from the five northern prefectures to verify this was announced at the Grand Court Assembly, and the governors of the north felt immense pressure. After all, it was a verification involving a million people, which would definitely penetrate into every aspect of the prefectures and counties. Therefore, upon receiving the news, the five northern prefectures immediately increased the intensity of their own counties and counties in order to minimize any mistakes when Chen Xi arrived.
In other words, even though the five northern states have not yet entered a phase of military control, they have already begun to escalate their efforts and have even optimized various aspects of their operations.
Even so, when Chen Xi actually goes to Ji Province to begin the verification, problems will likely still arise in the five northern provinces. After all, the strength of Chen Xi's troops is much higher than that of the current governors of the various provinces.
However, if this were a feint, and the target were Jingzhou and Xiangyang, and the troop deployment was conducted with Jingzhou as the center, then Liao Li, who was basically completely unprepared, would be demonstrating the true situation of a prefecture or county suddenly deploying troops.
As for Chen Xi personally mobilizing troops, regardless of the actual situation, it's definitely not as good as preparing in advance. After all, in the bureaucratic system, those who can get high scores still want to get high scores.
"It's alright, he won't die. I set up several farms for him before, and he was quite happy about it. Now I'm going to his area to conduct troop deployment verification, and he can understand, right?" Chen Xi said with a smile.
Liao Li has indeed done a very good job in the past few years. High-ranking officials should not only be capable but also have morality. They can definitely do their jobs well. Liao Li is very capable and also works in Jiangling with the idea of redemption. Therefore, Jingxiang is thriving because of Liao Li.
This is also why, after the grand court assembly, when Chen Xi distributed benefits to the governors of the fifteen prefectures at a joint meeting, he gave Liao Li and Shi Xie more. This was because the two had indeed done a good job, and in turn, it was perfectly understandable to give Jingzhou a boost.
After all, they received benefits from me, Chen Xi, so it's perfectly reasonable for me, Chen Xi, to come and increase the intensity, right?
Meanwhile, Liao Li, who had received the benefits and was preparing to return to Jingzhou with his men, suddenly felt a chill, as if something bad was about to happen. He looked around suspiciously, but found nothing amiss.
"Prefect Liao, what's wrong with you?" Tao Tong, riding his horse, looked at Liao Li with suspicion and asked curiously.
"I don't know, I just had a feeling that something bad was about to happen." Liao Li looked around a couple of times, but didn't see anything unusual, and said with some doubt.
"This is Chang'an, what could possibly happen?" Tao Tong said with a smile.
"Commander Tao, I thought you went to the Ganges with the Prince of Jin. I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here in Chang'an." Liao Li said, stroking his beard. Tao Tong, as the Commandant of Jiangling, worked for Liao Li. Liao Li quite liked this tough guy.
"There are quite a few people going to the Ganges, and Li Sima from Chang'an said there's some movement in Jingxiang, so he told me not to go to the Ganges yet and to prepare for the future. I specifically asked the Prince of Jin, and he also told me to stay in Jingxiang, saying that since I'm a local, it's good for me to stay there, so I stayed." Tao Tong scratched the back of his head with a simple and honest smile as he spoke.
Tao Tong did indeed ask Liu Bei. Liu Bei thought that with so many strong men under his command, having Tao Tong would make no difference, and having him less would not make any difference either. On the contrary, it would be better to leave a local elite like Tao Tong in Jingxiang, in case they had to face trouble from Yunmeng later, having a local to lead the team would be helpful.
After all, the head coach is a prominent figure in the area, and if something really happens, the locals would be more accepting of having Tao Tong lead the team to carry out the orders.
As for why Li He told Tao Tong this, it's because Li He and Tao Tong are brothers in the same team. When they were in Shanglin Garden, Li He received orders to go to Yunmeng after the New Year. At that time, although Li He didn't know what the order was, his veteran instincts made him realize that if he was to lead the obviously abnormal Super Shield Guards of Shanglin Garden to Yunmeng, then something must have happened in Yunmeng.
Considering that Tao Tong is right next to Yunmeng, and that Tao Tong's physique and qualities fully meet the requirements of the super shield guards of Shanglin Garden, and even exceed them, then Tao Tong should be fully capable of carrying out the orders that the shield guards of Shanglin Garden can carry out.
Moreover, the place happens to be near Tao Tong's hometown, so wouldn't it be very appropriate to leave a local brother there?
Therefore, even though Li He knew nothing, he immediately notified Tao Tongxian not to go to the Ganges. This shows his experience and the keen insight of a veteran.
"I see." Liao Li's heart sank upon hearing this. Although Tao Tong hadn't said anything, since the information came from Li He, its credibility was beyond doubt. It could be assumed that something had gone wrong in Yunmeng.
Liao Li wouldn't say he fully understood the true situation in Yunmeng, but he at least knew that there were countless myths and legends in Yunmengze, and if you really wanted to talk about them, they all had an origin and a foundation. In other words, even mythological fabrications need a basis.
Having served as the governor of Yunmeng for so many years, Liao Li had heard a considerable number of myths and deduced their basic prototypes. He wouldn't dare say they were all correct, but he was probably right about 70-80% accurate. So, Liao Li had little doubt that Yunmeng would run into trouble.
After all, Liao Li knew that humanity had fallen into a cycle of misfortune since the time of the Norse. As a high-ranking official of the Han Dynasty, he couldn't possibly be unaware of such a thing. Therefore, Liao Li had worried about what would happen if the fragments of the ancient gods in Yunmeng were to emerge.
Therefore, hearing this news now feels more like a relief to Liao Li, as if the shoe has finally dropped. He couldn't have been living in constant fear, and now he can finally relax.
“It must be Yunmeng that’s in trouble. It’s probably the fragments of an ancient god that have escaped from there,” Liao Li said calmly. “Tao Tong, you take the guards and go back to Jiangling first. Put Jiangling on full alert. I’ll apply for permission to have the navy in Nanjun mobilized to prepare for defense.”
Liao Li used to be a proper strategist. You can't forget that he understands military affairs and is quite good at them just because he has been in charge of internal affairs for more than ten years. So after confirming that Yunmeng was the source of the problem, Liao Li immediately decided on a defensive counterattack strategy.
Fighting is out of the question. Who knows what the strength of the Divine Man Fragment is? If we can't defeat it, then something terrible will happen. So let's be realistic, prepare our defenses, and let the big shots above handle it. Huangfu Song, Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, etc., aren't they all very suitable candidates?
"Yes, Governor!" Tao Tong knew something was wrong when he saw Liao Li's expression. After all, he had worked with Liao Li for six or seven years and had great respect for Liao Li's abilities and character. As a former soldier, he was naturally willing to obey such a person.
"Go back quickly and organize the able-bodied men who have served in the military in Jiangling." Liao Li waved to Tao Tong, signaling him to go back quickly. Then he turned his horse around and prepared to go to Chang'an to test Chen Xi. If it was really as he estimated, he had to get Chen Xi to mobilize troops as soon as possible.
To reiterate, Liao Li's mindset has remained unchanged over the years. He still faces the people of Jingxiang with a sense of atonement, which is why he immediately went on high alert after receiving only a few unsubstantiated rumors.
Any other bureaucrat aiming for a higher position would never risk questioning Chen Xi, even if they knew he was kind, easy to talk to, and extremely moral. But the bureaucratic system is such a peculiar entity that, as long as they are unsure of the right or wrong of certain matters, they will definitely adopt the attitude of "better to avoid trouble" and play dead until things come to light.
As Tao Tong rode his horse with his guards to Jiangling, unrest had already begun on the outskirts of Yunmeng, and villages in the peripheral areas all received a notification from Zheng Ke.
Although most of the local militia captains did not know Zheng Ke, they recognized the high-ranking official seal in Zheng Ke's possession and immediately began organizing the evacuation after verification.
In no time, people from nearby villages, young and old, carrying all sorts of things, rode in oxcarts, donkey carts, or carried their children on shoulder poles, and, led by the village elders, converged on Jiangling.
To reiterate, the Han Dynasty's reputation has been truly excellent over the years. So when Zheng Ke presented the official seal and ordered the locals to relocate, saying that the area might become a battlefield, the local village chiefs, though hesitant, still organized the evacuation immediately.
As for the unavoidable losses, it was quite painful for these locals who were supporting the elderly and children, but even if everything was gone, it was still much better than decades ago. So, under the organization of the village chief and the militia captain, the villages on the northwestern edge of Yunmengze were quickly evacuated.
