93. Break through the fog and break through the sky
After a sumptuous dinner in every sense of the word, or a midnight snack, Li Shushi was supposed to host a summit meeting of the three-way army to determine the next course of action.
Just because Jushou looked at Li Shushi many times during the banquet and seemed to have something very important to say, the meeting had to be postponed, and the time that was supposed to be used for the meeting was turned into a meeting for everyone to share their experiences on the day's battle.
In Li Shushi's temporary commander's tent, apart from Li Shushi, there were only four people, Ju Sue and Cheng Yu and Jia Xu who were pulled over by Ju Sue.
"Gong Yu is so mysterious and secretive. Why on earth do we have to discuss it here?"
Although Li Shushi seemed to be complaining, the expression on her face was completely "Speak quickly, tell me quickly, I am very interested". This unabashed attitude made the three Bingzhou Army conspirators
The master couldn't help but want to cover his face again, but Li Shushi's style is not a day or two, and this kind of private situation does not need to be too careful, so Li Shushi's attitude makes Ju Shu a little bit small
Excited, because this further proves the extent of his status in the Bingzhou Army.
Of course, Li Shushi could joke a little before the conversation started, but when Jushou coughed slightly and was about to talk about business, Li Shushi immediately stopped laughing and turned to a more formal attitude of listening.
"My lord, half a month ago, I observed the sky at night, but I saw Taibai going retrograde, invading Ji and Wei. Later, Yinghuo Shouxin saw the top of the sky. This is a sign of great misfortune. I am afraid that a great disaster is coming, so I immediately left from the east.
It was heard that the lord was about to return in triumph, so he thought this sign should reflect Yuan
Shao. Just today, I suddenly felt a warning sign. Although I couldn't see the stars, I secretly calculated that something terrible might happen here. Although the ministers are ignorant and ignorant, they talk about the sky, but the puppets are not human. I'm afraid they have cruel intentions.
It’s as spicy as Xianbei.”
Another one who told him about the celestial phenomena.
This was Li Shushi's first reaction.
But compared to the silent denial of the dead ants, Li Shushi also fell into silence this time, but he did not immediately show his disinterest.
The different status between Jushu and the dead ant is certainly one of the reasons, but it is not the main reason. After all, for Li Shushi, who has a vision for development, he still ignores him even though he knows the future development of a certain dead ant.
Ignoring or not paying attention to it is really a slap in the face of the time traveler, even if it is
Dead Ant's current status can no longer threaten Li Shushi. Even if he really wants to do something to threaten Li Shushi, then Jia Xu and Guo Jia will definitely let him and his family know what is hidden behind the sunshine of the Bingzhou Army.
The power in the darkness is definitely not just spending money and not doing any work.
In fact, what really made Li Shushi start to seriously consider what Ju Shou said was more due to the fact that the three of them became tigers.
It can be said that both Jushou and Sima Yi are the top wise men of this era. Although they have limitations belonging to this era, if they express similar attitudes towards the same thing without personal factors, then it is indeed very important.
It is worthy of Li Shushi’s attention and in-depth study.
And this is the policy that Li Shushi has always adhered to. Anyway, he knows very well how much he weighs, so in areas that he is not good at, it is better to listen to the opinions of experts decisively, especially when the opinions of experts are more trendy.
at the time of unification.
In other words, if all the experts can join forces to deceive him, then it would be better for him not to continue sitting in that dangerous position. The treatment he can get by voluntarily getting out of the way should be better than being kicked out.
And more importantly, Li Shushi vaguely remembered that in the history of another dimension, Ju Shou seemed to be an "astronomer" who also liked to look at the stars. He had also done in-depth research on the subject of the sensibility of heaven and man.
Just because of Yuan Shaona
At this time, he was full of ambition, and his advisers were already in chaos and fighting non-stop. Only then did Ju Shou's series of research results fall into dust. In the end, one of them, Tian Feng, died outside, and the other died in the country, leaving Kong alone.
A lament for the generous men of Yan and Zhao.
Due to such factors, there is no reason why Li Shushi did not attach more importance to Ju Shou's statement than when Sima Yi mentioned it.
Of course, this trust also stems from the solemn expressions Cheng Yu and Jia Xu showed after hearing the news.
Obviously, these two most trusted advisors of Li Shushi also agreed with Ju Shou's words. Then there is no need for Li Shushi to promote Mr. Sai's theory. After all, in this dimension, that gentleman has cried and fainted in the toilet countless times.
inside.
And precisely because of Ju Shou's heavy weight, the following military meeting seemed a lot easier for Li Shushi.
He set the goal of his march and left the rest to his subordinates to discuss.
The only thing that Li Shushi needed to worry about was who to hand over as the head coach of the West Route Army after Xu Rong was assassinated.
But even this issue was not difficult for Li Shushi - even if his initial choice was Taishi Ci or Zhao Yun, everyone recommended Zhang Liao as the acting commander-in-chief before Li Shushi expressed his thoughts.
This situation is not too surprising. After all, Zhang Liao, as the general of Liangzhou, not only has great military exploits, but is also more familiar with the soldiers of the West Route Army. He does not need to be an airdrop cadre like Tai Shici or Zhao Yun.
It also takes time for the place to get familiar with the situation, and many running-in problems arise out of thin air.
Since his subordinates had made a suitable choice for him, Li Shushi naturally followed suit. Anyway, with the encirclement of the three armies, the commanders of the other two armies were no longer as important as before. Li Shushi's staff group already had enough ability to coordinate.
The situation on the entire battlefield, seriously speaking, Ju Shuo and Fazheng are more suitable as commanders of the two armies to carry out this stage of the task. However, in that case, neither Gao Shun nor Zhang Liao, who is just an agent for the time being, will definitely lose face.
It's just going to be ugly.
But maybe that's not necessarily the case. Think about the "two-headed dragon" mode of the Northern Route Army that confused the puppets during the daytime battle. Maybe it's not difficult to be compatible with it, but it's obviously not possible for this kind of thing to happen.
Li Shushi's will was transferred.
All in all, in a relaxed discussion, everyone's tasks were determined, and Li Shushi didn't even need to say anything more.
However, unlike everyone's excited and slightly relaxed mood, Li Shushi noticed that Ju Shou's face was extremely ugly, and Cheng Yu's expression was definitely not related to relaxation. As for the other side.
An insider said that if it wasn’t a huge accident that happened to that
In front of the old fox, Li Shushi rarely saw Jia Xu anxious, or in other words, compared to that kind of panic expression, what impressed Li Shushi most about Jia Xu was that he asked Li Shushi to read the book he wanted to read.
The slightly unscrupulous smile when he made up the "Wordless Heavenly Book" in his own mind.
Of course, how can the things done by scholars be called unruly?
Ahem, since several counselors seemed worried, Li Shushi felt that it was necessary to start making preparations now.
The night really does not belong to humans.
This is Li Shushi's most intuitive evaluation of the progress of the war.
The continuous drizzle suppresses the extended range of the light source to the lowest level, and may even be extinguished if not careful. Without the help of light, humans can only rely on their most primitive instincts to judge the enemy's position and intentions, and also
Only a few people with beast-like intuition and even physical bodies can feel at home in such an environment.
Yes, I didn’t mention anyone else, don’t turn your head, it’s just you, a little bitch.
But what about the local puppets?
Although the continuous rain caused the water droplets to slide down from their heads and bodies, they changed from relatively pure water to filthy muddy water, layer after layer. As time goes by, it may even make you
It creates a feeling of "the puppet is losing weight".
This is of course not an illusion. But even if the clay puppets are really washed away by the heavy rain and their bodies are no longer as hard as before, and you can even hear the sound of gold and stone when they are chopped, they can still become the masters of the battlefield when night falls.
.
Not strong enough?
No problem, as long as your attack cannot hit the bodies of the earth puppets, no matter how sharp the attack is, it will only result in a miss. Then the earth puppets who have escaped the attack will be hit with sharper counterattacks, or even a set of combos.
Take it away without any damage.
The earth puppets are like night elves in the dark night. You have no idea at what time, where, or at what angle they will stab the bronze sword in their hands. And the tip of the sword will come out of your body.
What part does it pass through.
The Doll Corps, which originally won with its neat square formation and strict organizational discipline, completely gave up its original plan when night fell and faced a group of enemies who had no defensive facilities to rely on and even had to take the initiative to attack the defensive positions set up by the Dolls.
The way of fighting is like sparrows all over the sky, gathering or scattering, allowing your subordinates to find the enemy's openings in the chaos.
On the other hand, the Bingzhou Army was in a state of disarray under the attack of the puppets. They could only wave the weapons in their hands in vain, but time and time again they let their all-out blows fall into the air. And the originally proud team
The combat mode has also become ineffective in this situation where the enemy and ourselves are unknown. We can only rely on the remaining light to barely resist the occasional stupid puppets.
Gradually, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who were still fighting in a small group began to gather together and gradually turned into a huge military formation. Relying on the heat from each other's bodies, they felt a small sense of security and dependence.
At the same time, we use this to detect enemies that may be mixed in.
After suffering huge battle losses, the Bingzhou Army, which was originally supposed to be on the offensive, could only turn itself into one giant hedgehog after another, struggling hard in the waves of attacks from the puppets like a raging wave.
The battle seemed to have returned to the state before the "trench warfare", but this time the Bingzhou Army no longer had even the simple wooden walls and high-erected rafters and oars. They could only use their flesh and blood to endure the hardships.
Ku resists the elusive enemy.
But how long can this last? Their physical strength is depleted 30% faster than any arduous and fierce battle, but it feels as if it is three times as much. The huge mental pressure still makes some soldiers suffer from collapse.
hallucination.
And this time the puppets were obviously more fully prepared and realized that it was time to fight, so not only were the dispatched soldiers mixed with a large number of elite puppet soldiers (in Xiaoqiang's words, some soldiers were obviously more difficult to cut)
, and also prepared a large number of civilian troops. The awakening strategy they mastered greatly suppressed Li Shushi's large-scale illusion strategy.
Although the boot that was not thrown down originally has fallen, new questions have arisen.
What were those civilian troops doing before?
If those elite puppet soldiers need to protect the suspected emperor of the puppet army, then the civilian army also needs to protect important people. But it is impossible for them all to stay in the Chinese army and not go out. Is it really appropriate to be an otaku like this?
?
After all, even if Li Shushi treasured the civilian army, he would never be stingy when it was time to use it. Li Shushi could even say bluntly that if the puppets could have cooperated with the civilian army when they attacked Chang'an City, I am afraid that even if they were to merge with the state
If the army can finally hold on, the price it will have to pay will increase exponentially.
However, even though the Tudou Corps attached great importance to Chang'an, they still did not send out those civilian troops. Thinking of the puzzling "supernatural" phenomenon of the enemy's Chinese army, Li Shushi suddenly understood the worries of Ju Sue and Sima Yi.
So although the battle seemed extremely difficult, Li Shushi had no intention of giving up.
Of course, this is also because if Li Shushi chooses to retreat at this time, then the original stalemate may directly evolve into a collapse. Li Shushi does not think that the Bingzhou Army, whose morale is already somewhat low, can do what Tugu did even in the midst of chaos.
Unconditionally implement the last order conveyed to you.
The desire to survive will certainly give humans greater power, but it will also make the situation chaotic due to self-interested thoughts.
The result was that Li Shushi personally brought a plate of delicious and delicious dishes in front of the puppets.
I'm afraid the other party won't like Li Shushi's behavior. Taking the opportunity to cut him into pieces is their only goal.
Since you can't retreat, you can only think about ways to change with all your strength.
As long as the current situation can be reversed, as long as the offensive of the puppets can be slightly suppressed, as long as...
Li Shushi was thinking hard, and the counselors were also thinking hard. Everyone was anxiously looking for the answer.
"My lord, General Fan said he has a way that you can try."
Speaking of Fan Chou, in everyone's impression, he was always a pure military commander no matter where he was. He liked to rush forward in war. In addition to exercising his body and drinking and eating meat, he was active in life.
Creating people. It can be said that reading, elegance, etc. are absolutely insulated from him. He rarely touches thinking, deliberation, research, etc.
But the current situation is urgent, but they can't care about this, not to mention that the ancients even had a saying called "A fool may find something after a thousand worries." Anyway, before the Bingzhou Army elites think of a solution, they might as well listen
Listen to Fan Chou's opinion.
Not to mention looking at the Xiliang Army veteran standing in front of him with a serious look on his face, Li Shushi felt a little more confident. After all, he could make Fan Chou violate military discipline and run in front of Li Shushi in person when the battle was fierce.
Just because he was worried that the order could not fully express his meaning. This intention was enough to make Li Shushi look forward to Fan Chou's proposal.
Unfortunately, Li Shushi didn't know how to evaluate the result.
Fan Chou indeed came up with a solution, or rather it was not a solution, because this so-called "method" was not so much what Fan Chou came up with, but rather came from his personal experience, and that experience happened to be related to today's situation.
The situations are quite similar, so even a person like Fan Chou, who doesn't like to use his brain very much, can relate them.
only……
Li Shushi shook his head and smiled bitterly. He really didn't know how to evaluate Fan Chou's proposal.
Fan Chou's method came from the battle that took place between Dong Zhuo and the coalition forces in Hulao.
That day, due to the tactics of the coalition forces, strong winds, lightning, thunder, dark clouds, and subsequent heavy rain caused the sky and earth to lose their original color, and only darkness remained between the sky and the earth.
The combat effectiveness of the coalition forces is generally not as good as that of Dong Zhuo's army, so the coalition forces use this strategic strategy of changing the weather to change the battlefield environment, so that Dong Zhuo's army has to enter an environment that they are not good at. Of course, the coalition forces are not much better, but in this way
After some exchange, the originally large gap between the two instantly narrowed to a very close level.
Not to mention that the coalition forces also summoned the true form of the holy beast Qinglong, which not only gave the coalition forces a more durable combat effectiveness, but also provided bursts of thunder as auxiliary attacks.
At that time, Dong Zhuojun responded by summoning the holy beast White Tiger, and finally won the war with his more powerful strength.
Yes, Fan Chou's proposal was to hope that Li Shushi could summon the holy beast White Tiger to reverse the situation of the war. The holy beast White Tiger, which also appeared in its true form at that time, not only gave Dong Zhuojun strong resilience, but also made the weapons in their hands sharper.
.
However, what reminded Fan Chou of what Baihu Miao had done back then was not to lose sight of how powerful these powers were, but because those weapons that were added with what was probably the group sharp gold magic, each one of them, turned into a powerful weapon.
A torch is something brighter.
Well, it's just like those glow sticks in Star Wars, ah no, it's a cool laser sword, the lighting effect is great.
"Although it is indeed not a good idea, under the current circumstances, we can only give it a try."
Seeing that Li Shushi seemed a little undecided, Cheng Yu looked a little anxious. After all, the war situation was indeed very pessimistic. If he could no longer be saved from such a predicament, I'm afraid there would be no need for Li Shushi to serve the food himself. All he had to do was to collapse the Bingzhou Army.
Just one more straw is enough.
After looking at Cheng Yu and then at the other counselors around him, Li Shushi hesitated for a while before slowly speaking under the helpless looks of these people.
"Zhongde, it's not that I don't want to accept Fan Xuansui's suggestion, but..."
"But?!" Cheng Yu felt that Li Shushi had never been so hesitant before. This made him, who had cultivated Qi cultivation to a certain level over the years, couldn't help but stamp his feet.
Seeing that Cheng Yu seemed to have misunderstood his thoughts, Li Shushi immediately explained:
"But none of us can support the consumption of such a huge strategy. Not to mention that to achieve that level of effect, we need the true form of the holy beast to come, but where should we go to find the white tiger?
Where is the real body?"
These are indeed very difficult problems that must be solved. (To be continued...)
