Chapter 160 Legion Talent
It was Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu who shocked the princes of the world. As for Sun Ce, because his legion's talent was awakened too late, there were not many soldiers left under his command, so he did not use it at all.
In this battle, Zhao Yun broke through to the level of a first-class general, and he was able to fight on par with Zhang Fei just after breaking through.
Similarly, his awakened legion talent is also very powerful, causing the soldiers to fall into a state of absolute calm, ignoring all abnormal conditions and improving their reaction speed.
This talent is perfect for cavalry combat. With a little training, you can become a peerless warrior.
As for Zhou Yu, although he didn't understand his abilities, his ability to surpass so many legion talent holders at such a young age must be extraordinary. Looking at his past achievements and his identity as a disciple of Huangfu Song, we know that this must be an extraordinary person.
He is a future famous coach.
In the eyes of all the princes, Yuan Shu's threat level has greatly increased. Cao Cao and Tao Qian, who were initially ready to make a move, were instantly poured cold water on them, extinguishing their thoughts of causing trouble for Yuan Shu.
Of course, this is also one of Yuan Shu's purposes. He does not want these people to jump out and cause trouble when he attacks Yizhou. Although it will not have much impact, it is still very troublesome and will delay Yuan Shu's progress.
There are quite a few land warfare generals under Yuan Shu's command, but they are actually not too many. Huang Zhong, Sun Jian, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, plus the newly acquired Wenpin and Pan Feng, there are only six of them.
Of course, after this battle, there will be three more younger ones, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and Sun Ce.
Although these three young men are still immature, their powerful legionary talents are enough to establish their status as top generals in the future.
Legion talents are actually not that rare. Four generals such as Huang Gai under Sun Jian have also awakened their legion talents. However, these legion talents are not as direct and powerful as those of Sun Jian and others, so these people can only be said to be famous generals.
But compared to the former, it is still quite a bit worse.
Of course, this does not mean that these people's legion talents are not strong, but the environment required is more harsh and their abilities are more special.
For example, Huang Gai's legion talent is to generate flames out of thin air. The flames generated by cloud gas are indeed powerful, but they take too long and are easily interrupted. The opponent cannot stay in place stupidly.
Waiting for you to show off, I would have rushed forward and killed you long ago.
You can't say that he is not strong with this kind of legion talent. At least Huang Gai's contribution in the burning of Chibi is indeed not small. It is estimated that ordinary flames will not be able to burn so many warships quickly.
However, Boss Cao was out of his mind and fell into the opponent's scheme. He mistakenly thought that Huang Gai was here to surrender, and he didn't know the opponent's ability, so he gave the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of him.
The talent of a legion like Huang Gai has too many limitations. It is difficult to exert its power in normal combat. But Sun Jian and others are different. Increasing the strength of the army under his command is real, and it is basically unrestricted. In any battle,
Applicable to all.
Ling Cao's legion talent is to slowly increase the strength of his soldiers as the battle progresses. The more people in your own troops die on the battlefield and the longer the battle lasts, the more bonuses this guy will get.
In other words, this guy is the kind of guy who is useless in the tailwind and can't change the overall situation in the headwind. He seems to be powerful, but in fact he has a pitiful talent. Zhou Yu sent him to the rear just to treat him as an abandoned son, hoping to hold Guan Yu back.
After all, this kind of rogue talent is perfect for abandoning the chariot to protect the commander. Zhou Yu doesn't think Guan Yu can defeat him quickly, so that he will have time to deal with Zhang Fei first, and then turn around to kill Guan Yu.
But unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that Guan Yu's talent was just enough to restrain Ling Cao, and he cut Ling Cao half to pieces with one strike.
After all, Ling Cao's army that had just joined the battle basically didn't have any bonus from the legion's talent, and Guan Yu chopped off one-fifth of the soldiers with one sword and shattered the formation. Ling Cao's soldiers didn't have much time to receive the sacrifices from friendly forces.
With all the strength he had, he was beaten to pieces.
Ling Cao's late-stage lineup just happened to encounter a strong early-stage lineup. It didn't give you time to develop at all, and took you away in one wave.
By the time Zhou Yu reacted, it was already too late. Ling Cao's army was destroyed when it came up, Sun Ce's army was almost destroyed, and Zhou Yu could only choose to fight and retreat at the same time.
The power of the legion's talent is not absolute. As the general's ability increases, the legion's talent will also evolve accordingly.
The most typical example is Cai Mao. After this guy was defeated by Gan Ning head-on without any pressure, he decisively listened to Zhang Liao's advice, scrapped his original legion talent, and started researching his new water control talent.
If one day he really condenses this kind of legion talent, and can also condense the military soul like Gan Ning, even if he borrows external force, I am afraid that the outcome of a fight with Gan Ning may be uncertain. After all, the water control talent
He was a bit too rogue in the water battle.
In the Battle of Yuzhou, Yuan Shu made a lot of money overall. Although he lost tens of thousands of soldiers, this loss was insignificant compared to the growth of his generals.
Yuan Shu, who was wealthy and wealthy, was most in need of soldiers. If he were not afraid of damaging the overall situation, Yuan Shu could easily recruit another 200,000 troops.
After all, Yangzhou's current level of wealth is enough to make the world's princes salivate. In terms of strength, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are basically headed by Yangzhou, Jizhou and Yuzhou.
This battle completely destroyed Yuan Shu's intimidating power. Even Liu Bei now does not dare to provoke Yuan Shu easily.
The ones coming this time are just some young generals. If Yuan Shu is provoked and Huang Zhong and Sun Jian are transferred, Liu Bei will be waiting to run away.
"Lord, we have to change our strategy."
Xi Zhicai said with an ugly expression.
He thought that there was no flaw in this plan, but he did not expect that Zhou Yu's army would be so powerful. In the end, the two sides ended in a draw, which was completely beyond his expectation.
Cao Cao's face was also a little gloomy: "Why are there so many fierce generals under Yuan Gongli's command! Where did this Zhao Yun come from!"
Dian Wei's existence has already made Cao Cao envious, but he can only be a bodyguard, so Cao Cao is only envious, not afraid.
But now Yuan Shu has Zhao Yun under his command, which makes Cao Cao's mentality explode.
Yuan Shu himself has a strong foundation, if there are more good generals, it will be really terrible.
Only then did Xi Zhi understand what Cao Cao meant, frowned and said: "My lord, all this has become a reality. What we need to consider now is how to deal with the relationship with Liu Bei and Yuan Shu in the future."
Cao Cao took a deep breath and calmed down his slightly excited mood: "Zhicai, what do you think?"
"My lord, Yuan Shu cannot be an enemy now, but he must guard against it. Liu Bei must also know this. Therefore, we cannot act rashly now and can only strengthen our troops. When Yuan Shu attacks Yizhou, we must be ahead of Liu Bei and quickly attack
Take Xuzhou."
"The Chen family in Xuzhou has been shaken by Zhong's persuasion, and I believe they will secretly join the lord in the near future. With the help of the Chen family, we can definitely capture Xuzhou before Liu Bei reacts."
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Zhicai, are you sure Yuan Shu will attack Yizhou in a short time?"
Xi Zhicai nodded confidently: "Yuan Shu did not suffer much losses in the battle of Jingzhou. Moreover, shortly after taking Jingzhou, he sent his general Huang Zhong to lead an army of 50,000 troops to garrison Wuling. Next year, Yuan Shu will definitely attack Yizhou.
"
"Zhong has sent people to secretly inform Liu Yan that given the danger of Yizhou, it will take a lot of effort for Yuan Shu to capture it. If we can capture Xuzhou first, we can join forces with Liu Bei to attack Jiangdong before Yuan Shu takes Yizhou.
, forcing Yuan Shu to come forward to defend and abandon Yizhou."
"Once we succeed, Yuan Shu will be held back by us and restricted to the two states of Jingyang. The lord can take the opportunity to capture Qingzhou again, which will be enough to compete with Yuan Shu."
Xi Zhicai's face turned red as he revealed his plans one by one. Of course, this was actually the best ending he had thought of, and the actual implementation might not have been so smooth.
