Mythical Three Kingdoms

On the other side, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and others who were rushing toward the location estimated by Jia Xu were somewhat anxious. After all, according to Jia Xu’s plan, they had already lost the position of the Northern Huns, relying purely on judgment.

Fortunately, no matter how worried they were, as long as they saw Jia Xu’s calm demeanor, they would more or less feel reassured. Otherwise, whether the entire army could continue to march steadily here would truly be a problem.

”Wen He, how confident are you?” Chen Gong, following Jia Xu all the way, finally couldn’t help but speak up when they were about to enter the estimated ambush range of the two.

”There is still some confidence, since even if Liu Ziyang is unreliable, there are still reliable people,” Jia Xu said calmly, showing no sign of anxiety in his expression.

”I know that even if Liu Ziyang can’t come, Cao Mengde’s Xiahou Yuan can reach the Northern Great Wall. But the problem is, no matter how I analyze the current situation, Zang Xuangao cannot possibly reach the Northern Great Wall, even if he truly is that person!” Chen Gong stared at Jia Xu and said.

”Indeed, he can’t reach the Northern Great Wall,” Jia Xu nodded. ”He will be intercepted forty to fifty miles north of the Yan Great Wall. If truly pursued to the Yan Great Wall, and the Northern Huns continue to attack, then that would be the problem.”

”Even if Zhang Wenyuan can reach there due to our prior instructions, there will definitely be a time discrepancy. I estimate that Zang Xuangao might already have been bitten by the Miscellaneous Hun by now.” Chen Gong’s face instantly darkened.

”Don’t underestimate Xuangao and the others. Haven’t you noticed that the four people I sent out, besides having the appropriate abilities, have all reached a certain critical point?” Jia Xu glanced coldly at Chen Gong and said, ”In desperate situations, every bit of strength has a tremendous effect, and they must hold on for another hour!”

Chen Gong looked at Jia Xu in shock, ”You’re walking on a knife’s edge. If anything goes wrong, you’ll break everyone’s heart this time. Don’t you think you’re too ruthless?”

Jia Xu glanced at Chen Gong, ”Your spiritual talent seems to merely enhance your intelligence, and it’s apparent that even with increased intelligence, you can only use it in strategic aspects. Perhaps in strategic planning, relying on your spiritual talent, you are not weaker than I am, but in everything else, you still lack a lot. Your vision simply can’t match your intelligence.”

Jia Xu’s words left Chen Gong stunned, and then he began to think in silence. Although Jia Xu’s words were harsh, they were indeed true. While his intelligence has increased, his vision has limited his intelligence.

Just as a 110 IQ can maximize one’s vision, even with a 120 IQ, it still adds nothing under such a premise. And obviously, Chen Gong isn’t lacking intelligence now; it’s his vision that’s insufficient to leverage his intelligence.

”If Tanzhi can’t break through to Inner Qi Manifestation this time, he’ll surely die. If Xuangao cannot overcome his inner restraints, he will also be on a dead-end path, the same for Wen Chang. If he can’t calm his mind, the outcome won’t be good,” Jia Xu looked at Chen Gong, his eyes incredibly profound.

Chen Gong looked at Jia Xu and after a long time spoke, ”Maybe my heart is too small, and your heart is too big. If it’s not as you estimated, then you’re doomed.”

”I am not like you. Even if I don’t become a strategist, I am self-sufficient with my other abilities.” Jia Xu looked casually at Chen Gong, ”You simply cannot comprehend my spiritual talent, even if you enhanced your intelligence, it remains so.”

[My spiritual talent is about analyzing the essence of things. Even spiritual talents and Inner Qi Manifestation are the essence of things!] Jia Xu thought silently, his abilities have never been said to be for serving war!

After speaking, Jia Xu nudged his horse’s belly and moved away from Chen Gong’s side. However, after leaving Chen Gong, Jia Xu’s expression revealed a trace of solemnity; he wasn’t as cold and ruthless as he had previously claimed.

If it were during the past in Xiliang, Jia Xu might still have done such things, but having been corroded by the kind of warm and peaceful days now, Jia Xu actually can’t be so ruthless. Of course, compared to others, Jia Xu is still considered ruthless.

At least after using his spiritual talent to conduct precise calculations, Jia Xu is more than seventy percent sure that under the circumstances he anticipated, Zang Ba will break through his inner fetters, and with just this, they will break out of the encirclement.

As for the subsequent dangers, based on Jia Xu’s speculation, whether it is Guan Ping, Wei Yan, or Xu Shu, as long as any one of them can break the current shackles, they can lead five to six hundred people out.

In terms of strategy, whether this is worthwhile or not, sacrificing more than five thousand people as bait to lure tens of thousands of the Miscellaneous Hun’s army to an ambush point has already achieved a strategic goal, not to mention that ensuring the commander-in-chief does not die, with more than half of the main military officers breaking through the current level.

Of course, if Zang Ba cannot lay down his inner restraints, then the possibility of annihilation is basically one, and it is highly likely to release the Miscellaneous Hun already trapped in the cage, it’s fair to say Jia Xu is playing more dangerously than Sheni Pei did at that time.

However, unlike Sheni Pei, Jia Xu’s grasp is much greater, even if things go wrong with Zang Ba, there are still remedial measures.

[Perhaps, unexpectedly, either Zhang Liao arrives first, or Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Xiu arrive first, with Liu Ziyang possibly arriving last. But that’s good too, since this battle is more about momentum, and as for the Northern Huns’ main force, with the current strength, it can’t be solved in a short time.] Jia Xu silently pondered the details; the great battle had not yet begun, but the air was already filled with a grim sense of killing.

[Zichuan over there shouldn’t have any issues, though his forces might also be insufficient; Ma Zheng, although on the agenda, still needs time.] Jia Xu thought while looking far into the sky; the measures he had prepared were numerous.

Meanwhile, Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang were also deliberating this matter, and were equally anxious. After all, even with slightly delayed reactions due to experience, they already understood that the situation was different from Jia Xu’s estimates.

And in a large-scale battle of such magnitude, any mistake could lead to a reversal of the situation, which made it impossible for the two not to be cautious.

”I used the spiritual talent of Master Jia, but many areas remain doubtful. I then activated many spiritual talents, only to confirm that in the words initially spoken by Master Jia, there exists a cover-up, but he is not harming us,” Zhuge Liang said with a hint of distress.

”It seems that even with spiritual talent, because the information we hold is different, we can’t make the same judgment,” Fa Zheng also felt troubled. After all, no one would have thought that Jia Xu’s spiritual talent analysis this time was not about the situation!
