Chapter 1098 Candidate List
"The probability of this happening shouldn't even be one percent, right?" Jia Xu rolled his eyes. He really hadn't thought of this. The probability was too small, so small that it shouldn't even be considered.
"It's just a plan. What does it matter whether it succeeds or not?" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Okay, there are still twelve. No matter if they are wrong or too few, they are still a pile!" Chen Xi waved the list in his hand and said with a smile.
"Zhang Liao!" Jia Xu handed over another stack of documents.
"Well, with him, the problem of the Wolf Riders has never been solved, so he plans to lead the elite Wolf Riders to face the Romans directly?"
"Wolf Cavalry on the northern defense line?" Guo Jia was slightly stunned. Logically speaking, the northern defense line should be the least likely to be mobilized.
That's the defense line of an entire coastline, and the personnel are already stretched thin. If it weren't for the White Horse, a fast-moving troop patrolling everywhere, they might not be able to defend it.
Although the Undead Empire has not caused any major troubles over the years, minor frictions have never stopped.
The undead, in particular, do not need to eat or drink, and their ability to adapt to most environments allows them to launch attacks anywhere.
Although each fight was just a minor one, it was an endless harassment for the defenders on the northern defense line.
"The latest news is that the Undead Empire and the Orc Empire have begun a decisive battle. Humans and elves have joined in. They will not have the energy to harass us any more in the short term."
Chen Xi pulled out a document and handed it to Guo Jia.
Although most of the intelligence reaches Guo Jia first, this kind of intelligence marked as special intelligence will be sent to him or the general as soon as possible.
"No wonder!" Guo Jia nodded. "However, if we draw troops from the north, are our forces already stretched to this point?"
"Apart from the guards of each city, village and stronghold, the army of Northern Gui, the army of Southern Gui, and the fleet on the ocean, the infrastructure corps we have built up by civil engineering has a total of nearly 10 million full-time workers. This is not a small number." Chen Xi said with some embarrassment.
"Besides, the noble families will take away a considerable number of civilians and laborers this time, so it would be better not to continue to withdraw manpower from the internal production!"
At this point, Chen Xi sighed helplessly. There were too many things to do, and it could be said that everything needed to be done. However, the army was the most important thing, so he would rather slow down the construction speed to ensure combat effectiveness. It was also a very helpless thing.
Although the population of the Han Dynasty is now large, those mentioned above are still mainly young and strong.
Most of the work can only be done by young and strong people. Apart from those who farm in spring and autumn and work , there are actually very few people who can be mobilized.
He has been trying to minimize the impact as much as possible, but it is still a very troublesome problem.
Jia Xu and his colleagues did not make plans from the overall perspective, but only took on the tasks he had assigned to them, so their grasp of the overall situation was always somewhat inaccurate.
"Zhang Liao didn't mobilize many people, just 10,000 of the most elite wolf riders. He probably wanted to try his luck with the three talents!" Chen Xi rubbed his brows helplessly.
"So, Ju Yi will also go?" Guo Jia placed a pile of documents in the middle of the field with a questioning tone.
"Well, he's going too. He wants to go one step further!" Chen Xi's eyes twitched, and his subconscious complaints actually got him into trouble.
"Ju Yi feels that the current vanguard lacks a supporting army. In many cases, the vanguard cannot be deployed in the war and can only play a supporting role. The most important reason is that the vanguard lacks a backup army."
"That's true!" Jia Xu nodded.
"Xian Deng's real strength should be close-range damage, but due to their size, they are always in a long-range position, which still limits their performance!"
The Golden Armored Warriors have the double-talented Yellow Turbans as reserve soldiers, the Xianzhen has the double-talented Wolf Riders as reserve, the Feixiong has the double-talented Xiliang Iron Cavalry as reserve, and the Yulin can directly draw people from all the double-talented legions, except for Xiandeng and Beiwei, which have no successors.
It doesn't seem special, after all, we are in the same boat.
But the key point is that Ju Yi felt that he was a member of Guo Hao's old team when he was starting out, but now he is in the same situation as Yue Fei, which is simply embarrassing, so he simply asked Guo Hao to go to fight Rome to train new soldiers.
Guo Hao thought about it and agreed. Ju Yi is an old member of the team. It is a good thing that he is willing to make progress. He is in his prime years and there is no need to suppress him.
He directly ordered Yue Fei and Di Qing to take the three super elite troops, Beiwei, Xiandeng and Wubing, to Beigui Mountain Pass to support Cao Cao, and then brought Feixiong and Shentieqi back to the country for rest.
After the Kushans started to play cowardly, the broken mountain pass in Beigui was impossible to break through. The most ridiculous thing was that because of the special area of faith in that place, it actually had the same effect as the city wall after being nurtured.
It is simply a dream to think of opening a mountain. Instead of having the energy to open a mountain, it is better to consider a violent attack.
All Yue Fei had to do was to put pressure on Beigui and prevent their troops from running around.
The key to whether or not Kushan can be conquered still lies in southern Kushan. However, since Arvind is determined to avoid war, Zhuge Liang has no good solution.
As I said, defense is always easier than offense.
And every time he thought of this, Chen Xi would wonder if Zhuge Liang had any Northern Expedition debuff. Every time he was caught in the Northern Expedition, it was difficult to achieve any effect.
Therefore, Chen Xi and Guo Hao decided to send Guo Ziyi to Nangui and Yue Fei to Beigui, and bring Zhuge Liang back to the central government to take charge first.
After all, Yue Fei and Zhuge Liang both carry the debuff of the failed Northern Expedition. Although planting flags seems very metaphysical, it is better not to ignore it.
Anyway, at the moment, the abilities of the three are almost the same, so there won't be any problem even if they are transferred in parallel.
Moreover, for political reasons, now that all the departments have ceased fighting, mobilizing manpower will benefit the country and the people.
In the quagmire of politics, even if Yue Fei and his men did not get involved, their subordinates and those who followed them would spontaneously push them into an embarrassing position.
It is better to mobilize them so that everyone can perform their respective duties and give full play to their respective strengths.
"Sima Yi?" Jia Xu continued to guess people and confidently placed a stack of documents in the middle of the field.
"Well, Sima Zhongda has great potential. I don't think he will lose too much to Kong Ming. Moreover, with the terrain of Beigui, after the extraordinary power is wiped out, Beigui has the advantage. We should find him another place to work hard!" Chen Xi sighed and remembered the message sent back by Xun Yu.
The general meaning is that he is extremely optimistic about Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang being on par with each other, but it is too wasteful to spend it on Beigui.
"If that's the case, then Pang Tong and Xu Shu?" Guo Jia was equally confident, and then placed two piles of documents on the field.
But this time, Chen Xi knocked on the table with the fan in his hand and put the three piles of documents back.
"Without Pang Tong, he plans to develop at sea!" Chen Xi shrugged.
Guo Jia gritted his teeth and considered himself unlucky.
Of course, there will be a price to pay for taking more than he deserves. He can guess two at the same time, and if he is wrong he will have to pay the price, and he will be fined one more.
"Cao Ren!" Jia Xu smiled at Guo Jia, and then pointed out a name again.
"Yes, Cao Cao submitted an application, saying that Cao Ren's abilities cannot be fully utilized there, so he wanted him to go there to improve and train as well!" Chen Xi nodded and said.
Cao Ren was also a very capable general and was considered the best general in the Cao family.
Not only did he have the record of defeating Zhou Yu, but he also had the record of Guan Yu, who had already made a name for himself throughout China after defending the city and repelling the seven flooded armies.
However, when he took the initiative to attack, he was defeated by Wu general Zhu Huan. Although he did not die, his battle ended not long after.
Overall, he is a general with outstanding ability in defending a city, and it is indeed a bit of a waste to put him on Cao Cao's side.
After all, Cao Cao was in a strategic offensive posture, and defense was not his main strategy.
"Ma Chao!" Guo Jia's eyes turned and he thought of a candidate.
Others can endure loneliness and defend the city, but he doesn't believe that Ma Chao, a fool, can endure loneliness.
Moreover, Ma Chao himself has connections with Great Britain, and he can also serve as a bridge between Yuan Shao and Great Britain. He is obviously a good candidate.
"Yes, Ma Chao will go too. He will be responsible for serving as a diplomat. The people in Great Britain are quite familiar with Ma Chao, so we can communicate with each other at that time."
When Chen Xi said this, he showed a knowing smile. There was no way to defeat Rome from afar, but it was still good to make things difficult for Rome.
The Han Dynasty had many types of troops that required special environments.
One of the troops was called Bai Zai, which was created by the Han Dynasty to cause trouble for the Xiongnu in winter. However, it was shelved due to problems with the speed, logistics and other cost-effectiveness of the attack.
But this type of soldier is really strong in certain environments, especially in the winter in Eastern Europe, where it can reach an outrageous level.
In the current environment of Eastern Europe where the temperature is close to minus 30 degrees Celsius, the White Scourge Legion is clearly beyond the scope of the Royal Guards.
The strength of the ice armor naturally formed by the talent can even compete with the top defensive arms, and the ice sword formed by the biting ice, as well as the drastic cooling down, can suppress other legions. There is basically nothing to brag about this one, which is against the three talents. And such a legion does not require high organizational ability.
Chen Xi had even figured out how to use the people of Great Britain to train the White Scourge Legion, and then use the White Scourge Legion to cause trouble for Rome.
Moreover, his level of warfare is terrible. If Huangfu Song goes there, he will only make things more complicated, which will cause great trouble to Rome.
Although nowadays those with three talents are no longer considered super elite, only those who have three talents themselves can be considered super elite.
However, releasing a large number of legions that can fight against three talents in a winter environment would definitely give Rome a headache for a while.
As for using this thing to kill Rome, it’s better to think about it in a dream.
If this thing can really kill Rome, then Chen Xi will just dig a hole and bury himself.
At the level of an empire, you will suffer one or two losses at most, and then you will have a solution. Whether it is a violent solution or a technical solution, there will be a way to deal with it.
If you want to rely on one trick to become everything, forget it. The era of having one trick is long gone. When the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were climbing the technology tree, both sides understood this.
There is no invincible military talent, only invincible legions, so both sides have spontaneously embarked on the path of all-round cavalry, intending to defeat the other side with brute force.
Moreover, the Han Dynasty was very insidious and planned to use strange legions such as the Fantasy Soldiers to make some deals with Great Britain, in exchange for some legions for research.
The legions selected by the Han Dynasty were of average strength, but they were flashy and could definitely teach the Roman army a lesson when they went to the battlefield.
After all, even if it was cracked by the Huns, it was effective at one time and was the best thing to use for the first kill.
Even if there is no way to inflict any serious damage to Rome, there will be no problem in giving Rome a setback.
No matter what, it embodies the hard work of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, Chen Xi had long considered whether or not to give the people of Great Britain the training methods of the Sharp Knights. Compared to those fancy ones, the Sharp Knights were truly an elite corps.
As long as they are trained, they will be able to pose a stable threat to the enemy, and this legion is good at killing heavy infantry, and can restrain ordinary Roman citizen legions to a large extent.
Rome did not care about the casualties of the barbarians, and Chen Xi did not believe that Rome did not care about the casualties of its citizens.
Although the Rui Shi was about to be eliminated in the Han Dynasty due to its cost-effectiveness, for Great Britain, this legion could help them face the threat from Rome.
Anyway, the dead are not our own people, so just do whatever you want!
Chen Xi smiled sinisterly. To be honest, the Han Dynasty had complete countermeasures for the legions they stuffed into Great Britain, and even had countermeasures for the last two versions.
Although the effect is fast, the weakness is also fatal. But sprinkle water, anyway, they are just a supplier. If they reach that point, it is the business of Great Britain and Rome.
These are just side stories. Chen Xi was secretly making a big plan.
Han Xin once said that the highest level of strategy is to make others follow your ideas.
So Chen Xi thought about it , and used his superpowers to train a double-talented army of 200,000 with unified talents.
Shield Guard, an advanced version of Huangfu Song's armored warriors, uses the training method of Wei Wuzu given by Bai Qi, combined with Huangfu Song's armored warriors, and finally creates a krypton gold monster.
Training these shield guards can be said to be extremely cost-effective. With the money for one shield guard, you may be able to train hundreds of sharp warriors.
The money spent on the muscle-building injections developed by the medical school alone might be enough to train a fully armed warrior.
Huangfu Song was so sad that he cried after hearing this. Why were there so many elite soldiers? It was because they were poor.
And now, the saturated training makes Huangfu Song feel like ants are crawling on his body.
The ability of this version of the shield guard is also simple, which is adaptive + heavy armor defense, a simple and crude ability combination, but this is a manifested ability, and a lot of skills and basic abilities are combined between the two manifested talents.
As a result, this version of the shield guard has a very obvious feature: it is very resistant to physical attacks and has amazing endurance.
Although they cannot defeat those super elite troops, they can rely on their own solid defense to directly push forward and block any double-talent legion, and their survivability is almost maximized.
If the Sharp Warriors are consumables, then these Shield Guards are real heirlooms. As long as the commander does not do anything stupid, even if all the Sharp Warriors are killed in a head-on war, these Shield Guards will not suffer too many casualties.
