93. Break through the fog and break through the sky (I)
After a sumptuous dinner in every sense of the word, or supper, Li Shushi was supposed to preside over a summit meeting of the Three Route Corps to determine the course of action.
It's just that because he looked at Li Shushi many times during the banquet, it seemed that he had something very important to say, so the meeting had to be postponed, and the time that was supposed to be used for the meeting became a meeting to exchange everyone's experience and experience of the daytime battle.
In Li Shushi's temporary marshal account, in addition to Li Shushi, there were only four people who were frustrated, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, who were pulled over by frustration.
"Gonghe is so mysterious, what is it that has to be discussed here?"
Although Li Shushi seemed to be complaining, the expression on her face was completely a look of "hurry up, hurry up and say, I'm super interested", this undisguised attitude made the three masterminds of the Bingzhou Army couldn't help but want to cover their faces again, but Li Shushi's style is not a day or two, and this kind of private occasion really doesn't need to be too careful, so Li Shushi's attitude makes Fu Yu a little excited, because it proves what kind of Cheng Dù his status in the Bingzhou Army has reached.
Of course, Li Shushi could make a little joke before the conversation began, but when he coughed lightly and was about to get down to business, Li Shushi immediately restrained his laughter and turned to a more formal attitude to listen.
"Lord, half a month ago, I was given the night to observe the sky, but I saw Taibai retrograde, violating the Kei and the tail. Later, there was a glow and a guard to see the heavens, which were all signs of great evil. The minister was afraid that a catastrophe was coming, and then it came from the east that the lord was about to return triumphantly, so he thought that this omen should be reflected in Yuan Shao. But today there was a sudden warning in my heart, although I could not see the stars, but I secretly calculated. But I found that something very terrifying may happen here, although the ministers are shallow and talk about celestial phenomena, but the clay puppets are not human, and I am afraid that their minds are no less cruel than Xianhu. ”
Another one who told him about celestial phenomena.
This was Li Shushi's first reaction.
It's just that compared to the silent denial of the dead ants, although Li Shushi also fell into silence this time, he did not immediately show an expression of disinterest.
The difference between the status of the frustrated and the dead ant is certainly one of the reasons. But that's not the main thing. After all, for Li Shushi, who has a vision of development, it is too much to slap the traverser in the face when he knows the future development of a dead ant but still ignores him and does not pay attention to him, even if he can't threaten Li Shushi with the current status of the dead ant, and even if he really wants to do something that threatens Li Shushi, then Jia Xu and Guo Jia will definitely let him and his family know that knowing the power hidden behind the sunshine of the Bingzhou Army is definitely not just spending money and not doing work.
In fact, what really made Li Shushi seriously consider what he said was more due to the fact that the three of them became tigers.
How to say that Fu Zhu and Sima Yi are both the top sages of this era, they certainly have the limitations of this era, but if the two of them express a similar attitude towards the same thing without personal factors. Then it is indeed 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 many catties and taels he has, so in the field he is not good at, it is better to listen to the opinions of experts, especially when the opinions of experts tend to be more unified.
In other words, if all the experts can join forces to deceive him, then it would be better for him not to continue to sit in that dangerous position, and the treatment he can get by automatically getting out of the way is better than being thrown down.
And more importantly. Li Shushi vaguely remembered that in the history of another plane, Fu Zhu also seemed to be an "astronomer" who liked to look at the stars. He also did a very in-depth study on the subject of the sensibility of heaven and man, but because Yuan Shao was full of ambition at that time, and the strategists under his command were already in a mess and fighting non-stop, this made a series of research results of Frustration Teach Mingzhu dust, and finally died outside with Tian Feng. One died in the territory, leaving a lament for Yan Zhao's generous boy.
With such a factor, it is impossible for Li Shushi not to attach different importance to the statement of frustration than Sima Yi mentioned it.
Of course, this trust also comes from the solemn looks that Cheng Yu and Jia Xu showed after hearing the news.
Obviously, these two of Li Shushi's most trusted advisers also recognized Fu Zhu's words. Then there is no need for Li Shushi to promote Mr. Sai's theory, after all, in this plane, that gentleman has cried and fainted in the toilet many times.
And it is precisely because of the heavy weight of frustration that the next military meeting is much simpler for Li Shushi.
He set the goal of marching into the army, and left the rest to his subordinates to discuss.
The only thing that Li Shushi needs to worry about is the question of who the commander of the Western Route Army handed over after Xu Rong was assassinated.
However, even this question was not difficult for Li Shushi - even if his original choice was Tai Shici or Zhao Yun, everyone elected Zhang Liao as the acting commander before Li Shushi expressed his thoughts.
This situation is not too surprising, after all, Zhang Liao, as a general of Liangzhou, not only has the same great achievements, but also is more familiar with the generals of the Western Route Army, and does not have to be completely airdropped cadres like Tai Shici or Zhao Yun, and it takes time to get familiar with the situation when he goes to the place, and there are many more run-in problems out of thin air.
Since his subordinates have made a suitable choice for him, Li Shushi is naturally as good as a stream, anyway, with the formation of the three armies, the commanders of the other two route armies are no longer as important as before, and the staff group on Li Shushi's side has enough ability to coordinate the situation on the entire battlefield.
But maybe it's not necessarily, think about the "two-headed dragon" mode of the Northern Route Army that makes the puppets directly confused in the daytime battle, maybe it's not difficult to be compatible, but this kind of thing obviously can't be diverted by Li Shushi's will.
All in all, in a casual discussion, everyone's task was decided, and Li Shushi didn't even need to say anything more.
Merely. Unlike everyone's excitement and excitement, but a little relaxed, Li Shushi noticed that the face of the frustrated professor was extremely ugly, and Cheng Yu's expression was definitely not related to ease, as for the other insider, if it wasn't for some super big change in front of the old fox. Li Shushi really rarely sees Jia Xu when he is anxious, or compared to that flustered expression, what Li Shushi impressed Jia Xu the most was the slightly undisciplined smile when he asked Li Shushi to read the "Wordless Book of Heaven" that was made up by his own brain.
Of course, how can the affairs of the reader be called undisciplined.
Ahem, since several strategists seemed to be worried, Li Shushi felt that it seemed necessary for him to start making some preparations now.
Night really doesn't belong to humans.
This is Li Shushi's most intuitive evaluation of the progress of the war.
The continuous drizzle suppresses the range of the light source to the lowest level, and even extinguishes it if one is not careful. Without the help of light, human beings can only rely on their most primitive instincts to judge the location and intentions of the enemy, and only a few people with the intuition and even body of a beast can feel like a fish in water in such an environment.
Yes, I didn't say anything about others, you don't have to turn your head, it's you, Xiaoqiang.
But what about the clay puppets?
Of course, the continuous rain caused the water droplets to slide down their heads and bodies, and in the process of turning from pure water to dirty muddy water, layer after layer. Over time, it will even make you feel like a "clay puppet is losing weight".
This is certainly not a delusion. But even if the clay puppets were really washed by the heavy rain, their bodies were no longer as hard as before, and they could even hear the sound of gold and stone when they cut them, but when night fell, they could still become the masters of the battlefield.
Not strong enough?
No problem, as long as your attack can't hit the body of the clay puppets, then no matter how sharp the attack is, you can only reap the result of one Miss. Then it will be hit by the clay puppet who dodged the attack to play a sharper counterattack, and even a set of combos will be taken away directly without damage.
The clay puppets are like the elves of the night in the dark, and you have no idea when, where, and at what angle they will stab the bronze swords in their hands. And where does the tip of that long sword pass through you?
The puppeteer regiment, which originally won with a neat phalanx and strict organization and discipline, fell in the dark of night, and when faced with a group of enemies who had no defensive facilities to rely on, and even had to take the initiative to attack the defensive positions arranged by the puppets, they completely abandoned their original combat methods, just like sparrows all over the sky, gathering or scattering, and allowing their subordinates to find the enemy's gaps in the morning chaos.
On the other hand, the Bingzhou army, under the attack of the clay puppets, looked wolf-bèi, they could only wave the weapons in their hands in vain, but again and again let the swing with all their strength fall into the air, and the original proud squad combat mode has also become powerful in this situation where the enemy and friend are unknown, and they can only rely on the remaining light, barely resisting the occasional stupid clay puppets.
Gradually, the officers and men of the Bingzhou Army, who were still fighting separately for the core, began to gather and gradually turned into a huge military formation, relying on the heat transmitted from each other's bodies, feeling a sense of insignificance and dependence, and at the same time probing the enemies who might be mixed in.
After paying huge battle losses, the Bingzhou army, which was supposed to be on the offensive, could only turn itself into one big hedgehog after another, struggling in the waves of attacks of the clay puppets like raging waves.
The battle seems to have returned to the state before the "trench warfare", only this time the state army no longer even has the rudimentary wooden walls and high erected oars, and they can only use their flesh and blood to resist the elusive enemy.
But how long can this last, their body consumption rate is thirty percent faster than any hard and tragic battle, but it feels as if it is three times as much, and the huge mental pressure still makes some soldiers hallucinate in prostration.
And this time, the clay puppets obviously had more adequate preparations, and they also realized that it was time to fight hard, so not only were there a large number of elite clay puppet soldiers mixed with the soldiers dispatched (in Xiao Qiang's words, some soldiers were obviously cutting harder), but also prepared a large number of civilian troops, and the awakening strategy they mastered greatly suppressed Li Shushi's large-scale illusion strategy.
Although the boot that had not been thrown down had fallen, new questions arose.
What were those civilian forces doing before?
If those elite clay puppet soldiers need the suspected emperor who guards the clay puppet corps, then the civilian army also needs to protect important people. But it's impossible to stay in the Chinese army and not go out, is it really suitable to be an otaku like this?
After all, even if Li Shushi is a treasure of the civilian troops, he will definitely not be stingy when he should use it, and even Li Shushi can say unceremoniously that if the puppets could have the cooperation of the civilian troops when they attacked Chang'an City, I am afraid that even if the state army can finally defend it. The price to be paid will also increase exponentially.
However, it was clear that the puppet army attached so much importance to Chang'an, but still did not send those civilian troops, and then thought of the incomprehensible "supernatural" phenomenon of the enemy's Chinese army, Li Shushi suddenly understood the worries of Fu Zhu and Sima Yi.
So although the battle was 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 major collapse, Li Shushi does not think that the Bingzhou army, whose morale has been somewhat low, can be like a puppet, even if it is in chaos, it can also unconditionally implement the order conveyed to him.
The survival of ** will certainly allow human beings to gain greater strength, but it will also make the situation chaotic because of self-interested thoughts.
The result of that was that Li Shushi personally served a plate of dishes full of color and flavor to the puppets.
I'm afraid that the other party will not praise Li Shushi's behavior. Taking the opportunity to dismantle him into eight pieces and seventeen pieces was their only goal.
Since we can't go back, we can only think about ways to change with all our might.
As long as the current situation can be reversed, as long as the attack of the clay puppets can be suppressed a little, as long as ......
Li Shushi was thinking hard, and the strategists were also thinking about it, and everyone was anxiously looking for answers.
"My lord, General Fan said that he has a way to maybe give it a try."
Speaking of Fan Chou, this person. In everyone's impression, he has always been a pure military general no matter where he is, and he likes to rush forward when he fights. In life, in addition to boiling the body, drinking wine and eating meat, it is to actively create people. It can be said that reading, elegance, or something are absolutely insulated from him. Thinking, considering, researching, etc., he rarely touches on it.
But the current situation is urgent, but I can't take care of these things, not to mention that the ancients still had a saying called "a fool has a thousand worries or a gain". Anyway, before the elite of the state army thinks of a solution, it is better to listen to Fan Chou's opinion.
Not to mention looking at the general of the Xiliang Army who was standing in front of him with a stern face, Li Shushi also slightly increased his confidence in his heart, after all, he was able to make Fan Chou violate military discipline and run in front of Li Shushi in person when the battle was raging, just because he was worried that the herald would not be able to fully express his meaning. This intention is enough to make Li Shushi look forward to Fan Chou's mention of yì a little more.
It's a pity that the result made Li Shushi not know how to evaluate it.
Fan Chou did come up with a way, or a way that was not a way, because this so-called "method" was not so much Fan Chou's idea, but rather his personal experience, and that experience happened to be quite similar to today's situation, so even people like Fan Chou, who don't like to use their brains too much, can think of it.
It's just that......
Li Shushi shook his head and smiled bitterly, he really didn't know how to evaluate Fan Chou's mention.
Fan Chou's method came from the great battle between Dong Zhuo and the coalition forces in the Tiger Prison that year.
On that day, because of the means of the coalition forces, the wind was fierce, lightning and thunder roared, and the black clouds and the subsequent heavy rain caused the heavens and the earth to lose their original color, and the whole heaven and earth were only left in pitch black.
The combat effectiveness of the coalition forces is generally inferior to Dong Zhuojun's, so the coalition forces used this strategic strategy of changing the weather to change the battlefield environment, so that Dong Zhuojun had to enter an environment that they were not good at.
Not to mention that the coalition also summoned the body of the holy beast Qinglong, which not only gave the coalition army a more durable combat effectiveness, but also had bursts of heavenly thunder as an auxiliary attack.
At that time, Dong Zhuojun responded by summoning the holy beast White Tiger, and finally won a slight advantage in this war with his stronger strength.
Yes, Fan Chou's mention was to hope that Li Shushi could summon the Holy Beast White Tiger to turn the tide of the battle - at that time, the Holy Beast White Tiger, who also descended in his true body, not only gave Dong Zhuojun a strong recovery force, but also made the weapons in their hands sharper.
However, what can remind Fan Chou of what White Tiger Meow did back then is not how powerful these powers are, but because those blades that were attached to what were probably group sharp gold magic techniques, one of them was counted as one, and they all became something brighter than torches.
Well, it's like those glow sticks in the Star × Wars, ah no, it's a cool laser sword, and the lighting effect is first-class.
"It's really not a good idea, but in today's situation, I can only try it."
Seeing that Li Shushi seemed to be a little undecided, Cheng Yu looked a little anxious, after all, the battle situation was indeed very unoptimistic, if he couldn't help such a dilemma, I am afraid that Li Shushi would not need to serve the food himself, and if he wanted to make the Bingzhou army collapse, it would only be enough to add another straw.
Looking at Cheng Yu and then at several other strategists around him, Li Shushi hesitated for a while before he slowly spoke under the helpless eyes of these people.
"Zhongde, it's not that I don't want to adopt Fan Xuandi's mention yì, but ......"
"But?!" Cheng Yu felt that Li Shushi seemed to have never hesitated so much, which made him can't help but stomp his feet after all these years of cultivating Qi to a certain level.
Seeing that Cheng Yu seemed to have misunderstood his thoughts, Li Shushi immediately explained:
"But none of us can afford to wear out such a huge strategy. Not to mention that in order to achieve that kind of Cheng dù effect, we still need the true body of the holy beast to descend, but where do we go to find the true body of that white tiger? ”
This is indeed a very difficult problem that has to be solved. (To be continued......)
