The two armies fled and chased as fast as they could, and in a short time they came to the edge of a valley.

The fleeing "body poison" army gradually disappeared because of the simple figure of throwing away their armor and abandoning their armor. The Kushan army had to chase along the traces of the march on the road and the scattered weapons and banners of the "body poison" army.

"General, the thief army should have entered the valley!"

Asafa looked at the valley not far away where the traces on the ground stretched all the way, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "The terrain here is steep, there will be no ambushes." ”

Asafa was not incompetent, on the contrary, he fought very bravely, and most rarely, he was relatively calm and cautious, which is why he was named by Sugdi.

"General, this should be the Sugala Valley, and the mountains on both sides are extremely steep and cannot be climbed by manpower. And although this valley is a dead valley, but the internal space is very large, mostly plains and few forests, although there is only one exit, but it is not suitable for ambush. The general under his command said.

"Chase!" After all, the desire for military exploits still prevailed over the inner prudence. Although there was a sense of strangeness in his heart, thinking that he was facing a poison army that had always been straightforward, Asafa still chose to pursue.

A large army drove into the valley, but not long after entering the valley, they didn't even see a single enemy soldier, and they heard a burst of noise from the rear.

"Not good!" Asafa, who has been leading the troops all year round, suddenly changed his face when he heard the voice, and roared angrily: "The rear army will change to the front army, and the formation will be formed!" ”

I don't know when he appeared at the mouth of the valley, Zhou Yu, who led nearly 5,000 soldiers to line up, looked at the Guishan army that was a little panicked in the distance, and smiled slightly, without the slightest intention of taking the opportunity to lead the army to attack. This time, he arranged this bureau not to set up an ambush, nor to destroy this Kushan army, but to test the combat power of this Kushan army without letting anyone slip through the net without completely destroying the other party.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were under the protection of the army, chatting and laughing and looking at the Guishan army in the distance.

"The reaction was very fast, especially the speed of the formation, which was a bit beyond our imagination. I'm afraid that this kind of formation change has been trained by the other party. Zhuge Liang said.

"This formation is too rigidly arranged, I couldn't see clearly because of the cloud qi before, but now I find that the other party's phalanx is really neat." Zhou Yu was a little speechless.

The army in front of him was the simplest phalanx of infantry, and the cloth was extremely neat, one by one, and the distance between the soldiers was almost the same, like a large group of rectangles. The word neatness may sound like a compliment, but in fact, even the simplest phalanx has a certain skill, not neatness.

Generally speaking, the phalanx should be "thin and thick", with a larger number of soldiers in the middle and a denser number of soldiers around, so that it can bluff and secondly, it can improve the shooting rate of soldiers on the battlefield. After all, so many soldiers crowded in the center of the formation, they could only watch dryly, it was a complete waste.

"Kill!"

The generals on both sides were battle-hardened and valiant men, and they all shouted angrily and led their soldiers to rush towards each other.

Zhou Yu, who has the intention to be tempted, also arranged the simplest phalanx, but compared with the other party, it is more "regular", the strikers are hugging but not crowding, tight but not together, the Chinese army is sparse but not scattered, and the soldiers form a small formation in each unit, and there are many clever arrangements in the key parts of the military formation.

Zhuge Liang looked at the seemingly ordinary military formation in front of him, and the feather fan shook lightly: "See the big with the small, and know the small with the small." Just from this small phalanx, it is enough to see the depth of Gong Jin's research on the military array. The same military formation, I am afraid that this formation is a little more powerful, and it is longer than the change formation. ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he was not modest, and said with a smile: "The gap between the combat power of the army is opened up bit by bit like this. The physique, training, experience, and spirit of the non-commissioned officers, the sophistication of weapons and equipment, the perfection of the military formation and the speed of response, and the coordination between the squads. As long as you do these to the extreme, you will naturally be invincible. ”

"It's easier said than done, but it's not that easy to be perfect." Hearing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but think of his own situation and sighed.

As a strategist, unlike Zhou Yu, who took the route of Confucian generals and commanders, and only relied on talent to eat for internal affairs, he took the all-round route of being broad and refined, although he focused on internal affairs, but he never fell behind in strategy and military affairs. Bo and Jing are different, this road is several times more difficult than the latter, after all, people's energy is limited, and if you spend one point here, you will have one point less on the other hand. If you want to take the path of Bo, if you don't have a peerless talent, you will simply die, and you may still have something to achieve, but you will only become a mediocre talent in the end.

Everything is a loss and a gain, and although the Bozhi route is difficult, many people who could have become national warriors died because of this, but once they get through, it is enough to overwhelm the world. Take a look at it, among the three kingdoms, there are only a few people who can barely be regarded as all-rounders, such as Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, Sima Yi, Lu Xun, etc., which of these people is not the pillar of the country, and can basically be called the fortune of a country with the power of one person.

This kind of all-rounder basically firmly occupies the position of the first adviser under the lord, no matter what, there is no need to consult others, just ask them is enough. If you don't decide about internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao about foreign affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide about foreign affairs, if you are these people, it is enough to take care of it directly, and your status is like Zhou Zhijiang Shang and Shang Zhiwen Zhong.

Of course, this kind of strategist also has a disadvantage that his ability is too great, which is easy to arouse the emperor's jealousy, and once there is ambition, it is a great threat to the emperor. Thinking about Sima Yi, you know that once the Son of Heaven is weak, he can directly seize the opportunity to replace him, and even Zhuge Liang, who is almost the perfect incarnation, will not also put Liu Chan almost in the air? How many civil ministers and military generals only know the prime minister but not the Son of Heaven. Those who go to the courtiers take a step, either the Duke of Zhou or Wang Mang. But even if you want to be the Duke of Zhou, you have to see if you and the lord have the same surname, Jiang Shang's ending is not bad, and Xun Yu and Lu Xun's final ending is the majority.

Hearing the melancholy in Zhuge Liang's tone, Zhou Yu's eyes turned slightly sideways: "Be content, how many people in this world are qualified to take this road?" You don't see that Shi Yuan and I originally had expectations, but after recognizing Xun Wenruo and you as a pervert, did you decisively give up? ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's relief, Zhuge Liang also smiled slightly: "Yes, there are a few people in the world who dare to take this road." In the same way, there are few people who can be called handsome. ”

Zhou Yu in front of him, in a sense, is not a person who is knowledgeable and sophisticated in military affairs.

Zhou Yu smiled but did not answer. He is the same as Zhuge Liang, elegant in appearance but arrogant, and he disdains lying in this matter. Although there are many good generals in the world, there are only three who can enter his eyes, and there are only three who are really recognized by him as handsome, except for himself and his teacher Emperor Fu Song, there is only Cao Cao. Even today's Zhang Liao, Guan Yu and others are still not ready to be heard, Zhuge Liang has not yet been involved in the army, let alone the theory of empty knowledge.

Even if Zhuge Liang is so good, Zhou Yu also thinks that he is not inferior to him, that is, in the future, Zhuge Liang will be the head of the civil servants and even the prime minister, and he still has the confidence to become the first person to be the best in the military. Seriously, in the future, Zhuge Liang, an all-rounder, is estimated to be able to barely overwhelm the ministers in internal affairs, and the overall situation may be able to rank at the top, but it will definitely not be his turn to be dominant in terms of intrigue and military affairs.

After all, Da Chu is not Shu Han, there are too many capable people in the courtiers, Zhuge Liang will not be able to get the recognition of these people in the future and become the head of the civil ministers, I am afraid it will not be easy, and it is simply wishful thinking to be in charge of the dynasty like Shu Han in history.
