"Gong Jin, after this battle, you can be said to be famous all over the world!"

Zhang Liao smiled and looked at the dejected young men in front of him.

Guan Zhang's strength has been famous all over the world since the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass. As two of the only four super-first-class generals present at that time, their strength attracted the jealousy of countless princes.

The super-first-class generals themselves represent the world's top power. It is precisely by relying on these two brothers that Liu Bei can be favored by Yuan Shao and have the status of the current princes.

Moreover, Chen Qun and others can look down on Liu Bei, and Guan and Zhang account for at least half of the reasons. Otherwise, relying only on the name of a descendant of the Han family and the performance of humility, how strong would Liu Bei and the other small princes be?

If the false name of the descendants of the Han family gave Liu Bei the opportunity to appear on the stage of the princes, then Guan Zhang is the most important foundation for Liu Bei as a prince. Liu Bei, who was without Guan Zhang, instantly changed from a hidden dragon to a grass snake.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shao and Cao Cao despised Liu Bei when they were fighting for wine and talking about heroes. There are grassroots Han descendants like him everywhere, and there are many people who are stronger than him in all aspects, not to mention clan relatives such as Liu Yu and Liu Biao, even Liu Ye, who is also a grassroots person, is much stronger than him.

And the reason why Cao Cao was able to treat him as a personal figure at that time was entirely for Guan Zhang's sake. Otherwise, a grassroots like Liu Bei will grab a handful.

After that, the breakthrough of Guan Zhang in front of the Tiger Prison Pass successfully made Liu Bei soar into the sky and entered the eyes of some people.

The farce of the princes against Dong was actually only four people who benefited in the end. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao gained the reputation of being a model in the world and the first prince. It has attracted countless people of insight from all over the world and attracted a large number of talents.

Yuan Shu obtained most of Luoyang's wealth and book collection, established Jiangdong Academy, and enriched the treasury of Yangzhou.

Although Cao Cao lost his troops and lost his generals, he won the reputation of loyal ministers of the Han family. attracted countless people like Xun Yu to the Han Dynasty to serve him.

Compared with the first three, Liu Bei gained the least, but he also gained the most.

He only gained the status of a prince, but he successfully entered the eyes of the people of the world from a grassroots that no one knew, and stepped onto the stage of the princes of the world.

As for the other princes, this trip to discuss Dong was just a soy sauce and accompanied the prince to study. They got nothing but a little bit of fame.

Don't look at Liu Bei just stepping onto the stage of the princes, but this is a huge breakthrough. With this status, he is qualified and possible to recruit talents.

In this life, there is no Tao Qian's three orders to Xuzhou, but Liu Bei has risen more smoothly, and basically ascended to the sky in one step.

Although it is only a little more than a year in advance, in this golden age of troubled times, the significance of each year is extremely important.

This year ahead of schedule gave Liu Bei time to recruit soldiers and close the family. There is no need to be like the original, under the oppression of Cao Cao, there is no chance to develop at all.

One step first, step by step, the current Liu Bei is not too far behind, and he already has the foundation for his rise at the beginning of the troubled times, which is no worse than Cao Cao. Cao Cao is now very jealous of Liu Bei.

Zhou Yu and the others are still lost because of the loss of their troops, but they don't know how shocking it is to be able to draw with Guan Zhang in this situation that can be called a disadvantage.

Even Zhang Liao, asking himself, is difficult to guarantee in the same situation.

After all, the deterrent power of a super-first-class military general is not covered! Before Zhang Liao's army awakened the soul of the puppet army, he did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to draw the other party. Every super-first-class military general is about the same as the existence of a pseudo-military soul.

Unexpectedly, the three young generals in front of him were all awakened to the existence of the talent of the legion, and Zhang Liao really felt that he was a little outdated. When did all this perversion appear? Among them, the eldest Zhao Yun is only seventeen years old, and the youngest Zhou Yu is only fifteen.

Of course, Zhang Liao skipped Ling Cao and Yu Ban, who were almost the same age as himself. Although these two people have acceptable abilities and qualifications, they have not yet reached the point where they can be compared with Zhang Liao.

Especially Yu Ban, so far he has not even awakened the talent of the legion, and in Zhang Liao's heart, he is also an ordinary captain.

Although Zhang Liao said this to comfort these young players who had been hit for the first time, it was also inspired by feelings.

"General Wen Yuan said with a smile, this time we are defeated, and I don't know how to face the lord!" Zhou Yu smiled reluctantly.

This time, although he did a very good job in commanding the operation, he still failed. Because he completely underestimated Guan Yu's strength.

Just like Guan Yu's martial arts, Guan Yu's legion combat method is also centered on the initial outbreak, and Zhou Yu, who was caught off guard as soon as he came up.

Ling Cao's army, which thought that he could entangle the other party, was defeated as soon as he came up, and even Ling Cao was almost hacked to death by the other party, almost resulting in a total loss.

Fortunately, in the end, Zhao Yun led the cavalry under his command to save the scene, which was able to block Guan Yu's impact. This dragged the tide of the war on. It's a pity that the army under Zhou Yu is crippled, and the two sides can only end in a draw, but in Zhou Yu's opinion, if you don't win, you lose.

This battle was very frustrating to Zhou Yu, and he found that his personal bravery was so terrifying in such a small battle. The scene of Guan Yu splitting Ling Cao's army with a knife is still vivid in my mind.

This time his command should have been fine, but it still failed. Zhou Yu learned from the pain and finally thought of a solution.

Formation!

The formations in this world are not so simple, not only can they give full play to the combat power of the army, develop their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, but also produce many additional effects when they are practiced to the depths, which is not much worse than the talent of the legion.

The military book given by Huangfu Song to Zhou Yu contains a lot of formations, and there are even many fragments of ancient formations.

After this battle, Zhou Yu's commanding ability has also made a qualitative leap, which is enough to study these profound formations.

This time, Zhou Yu was defeated because he didn't understand Guan Yu's strength, plus he was confident in Ling Cao's ability, thinking that he could withstand Guan Yu's attack in a short time, so he set up a relatively dense fish scale formation suitable for infantry defense.

As a result, he didn't expect to fall into Guan Yu's arms, and the entire army array was shattered in an instant with a single sword, and thousands of soldiers were taken away.

If it were replaced by a more scattered phalanx, I am afraid that the result would not be like this. This kind of loose formation, Guan Yu will not make any waves even if he smashes it with a knife, and the formation will soon condense here, and it would be good to have hundreds of injured soldiers.

No matter how hard Zhou Yu learned from the pain, he was ready to be ashamed. The princes of the world were shocked when they learned of the outcome of this battle, and while raising the threat level of Yuan Shu by another level, they also kept Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun and others firmly in their hearts.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. It's like this confrontation between Zhou Yu and Guan Zhang. If Zhang Fei knew the abilities of Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu in advance, he would definitely beat Sun Ce to death as soon as he came up, and kill Sun Ce first. If Zhou Yu knew Guan Yu's ability in advance, he would definitely not have laid out such an untimely formation.

Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the other party, it is much easier to deal with. Any legion talent has its weaknesses and nemesis, just like Zhang Fei's legion talent, which happened to be restrained by Zhao Yun.

And Guan Yu's legion talent also has obvious advantages and disadvantages, the attack at the beginning is amazing, but the weak state after that is also fatal. If Zhou Yu still had a large army in his hands at that time, he could easily take away the other party.
