Chapter 116 The No. Strategist of the Three Kingdoms vs. the No. General of the Three Kingdoms!
As he spoke, Zhuge Liang looked calm and composed, as if the now ferocious Lu Bu was just a certain General Lingling whose name could scare people and could be defeated with a snap of a finger.
But is Lu Bu really weak?
Liu Bei, who had fought with him before, knew very well that Lu Bu was not just a talk.
That one person could even suppress the combined strength of Guan and Zhang, and with his keen sense of grasping opportunities on the battlefield, as well as an army of 800,000 men under his command, plus the "Two Generals Dragon and Tiger" and eight strong generals, he was incredibly powerful.
If we really want to say, there is anyone who can surpass him in terms of military generals, it is only Ji Hao who has three peerless generals in the first battalion.
Ji Hao, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong can suppress Lu Bu, Dian Wei and Xu Chu in all aspects.
Apart from this, there is no other force in the world that can match it.
But such a Lu Bu is not worth mentioning in Zhuge Liang's eyes?
For a moment, Liu Bei was a little suspicious. Was the person in front of him just a boaster? Was he like Xing Daorong, who could do nothing but brag?
However, when I think of Zhuge Liang's insights into the world situation and his incisive analysis of Ji Hao.
But I also felt that the person in front of me was definitely not an ordinary person.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Military Advisor, I'll leave the final preparations to you!"
Where can a leader's ability be demonstrated?
It's about knowing people and using them.
If it were someone else, they would never dare to gamble at this time. Even if they fought against Lu Bu again, they would command the battle themselves and would have no regrets if they lost. But Liu Bei dared to delegate power to a young man who had just been recruited at such a critical moment.
Yes, young.
Zhuge Liang was only twenty years old at this time, not much older than Ji Hao's son!
"Liang, I will definitely live up to your mission!"
……
On the other side, the surprise on Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's faces was no less than that of Liu Bei.
Because Ji Hao had been very cautious after hearing the three words "Zhuge Liang". After learning that Liu Bei had delegated power to Zhuge Liang as a military advisor and had full authority to decide everything on the battlefield, he said directly: "Lü Bu is finished!"
The two of them were stunned by what they heard.
Can one person play such a big role?
"I have never seen you, Chengtian, treat someone so cautiously!" said Sun Ce.
Even if it was Xing Daorong, Ji Hao deliberately praised him, it was just a casual courtesy.
In fact, he acted very relaxed when facing Xing Daorong.
After all, it's a parallel import.
But now when talking about Zhuge Liang, Ji Hao acted as if he was facing a powerful enemy, and when Lu Bu had an absolute advantage, he concluded that Lu Bu would definitely lose.
It was really hard for him to understand.
As for Zhou Yu, he had a feeling of being looked down upon - from what Ji Hao said, Zhuge Liang should be a scholar, and it was his wisdom that made Ji Hao so cautious.
But the problem is, his talents are often praised by Ji Hao, so why isn't he afraid at all?
Am I not as good as that unknown Zhuge Liang?
If Ji Hao knew what he was thinking, he would tell him mercilessly: Not only are you inferior to him, but no one in this world is inferior to him.
Other strategists can become top strategists because they are simply the top of their time.
Looking at history, it may not be that strong.
But the top strategist Zhuge Liang in the novel is unprecedented and unparalleled. He is the best in any era and is completely incomparable!
Only Guo Jia, since they have never fought each other, might be able to give it a try.
As for the others, from Zhou Yu to Sima Yi and Pang Tong, who was not suppressed by Zhuge Liang?
“It’s never too cautious.” Ji Hao shook his head and said, “Let’s go and watch the battle! This battle will surely be an epoch-making top-level war that will be recorded in history and passed down for thousands of years!”
Speaking of which, he was also very much looking forward to it.
Looking at the Three Kingdoms, there are too many regrets, Cao Cao's defeat at Chibi, the resentment of Shu Han, the weird luck of Jiangdong's natural enemy, and so on.
Ji Hao had three more regrets. One was that Zhao Yun had never fought against Lu Bu.
He has already realized his dream. The Battle of Xuzhou proved that Lu Bu was absolutely invincible in a one-on-one fight, but it also proved that Zhao Yun's performance in a group battle would be ridiculously strong.
Zhao Zilong cannot defeat Lu Bu, but Lu Bu can never hope to defeat Zhao Zilong.
The second regret is that Guo Jia died too early and did not have a chance to meet Zhuge Liang.
Although he knew in his heart that in this world that was more inclined towards fiction, Guo Jia would most likely be inferior, he still wanted to take a look and he would definitely be able to see it.
If he were to fight Zhuge Liang, he wouldn't do it alone; he's not that stubborn.
Among his advisers, Guo Jia is the most suitable one.
The third regret is the confrontation between civil and military affairs: When Zhuge Liang, the greatest strategist of the Three Kingdoms, faces Lu Bu, the most powerful general of the Three Kingdoms, how will he defeat him?
Yes, that's right, defeat it.
The result is inevitable.
In front of top strategists, personal bravery is not enough.
However, Ji Hao was very curious about how to win and to what extent.
"But if we watch the battle, I'm afraid both of us will be standing in the enemy's position!" said Sun Ce.
Liu Biao was dead, and Liu Bei sent people to reconcile with Jiangdong and formed an alliance.
Ji Hao has always been an ally of Lu Bu. If he watches the battle, he will definitely stand on the side of his ally.
"Isn't it always like this?"
……
Soon, Ji Hao and Sun Ce arrived at the battlefield respectively.
Also watching the battle were Sima Yi, Pang Tong, Huang Chengyan, and Huang Yueying - this one, according to legend, was extremely ugly, and no trace of her could be found, so she was the only one outside Ji Hao's "sss card pool".
Standing behind their father, the two of them rode in a carriage that had no horses pulling it but could move on its own.
Quite eye-catching.
"My lord, you have been looking for Sima Yi for a long time. Do you want me to catch him now?" Zhou Cang asked.
Hearing this, Ji Hao took a look and shook his head.
"Look carefully at his position. He is right at the edge of the two armies, between the civil officials of both sides. If someone from Lu Bu's side comes to catch him, he only needs to take one step to the south, which will surely attract the attention of Zhuge Liang's army. And if someone from Liu Bei's side comes, he only needs to take one step to the north, and Lu Bu's subordinates will also regard him as one of their own!"
I have to say that Sima Yi is indeed a shady old bastard.
The positioning was quite tricky.
As for Pang Tong, he was standing among Lu Bu's civil officials at this time. It was unknown whether he wanted to surrender to Lu Bu but was not taken seriously, or whether he was preparing to trick him like he did to Cao Cao in the original book.
But one thing is for sure, it is really ugly.
She was much uglier than what was shown on TV, which made Ji Hao feel that he and Huang Yueying might be a good match.
The wheat-colored complexion is deceptive.
The ancients’ aesthetic taste was unbiased!
Let’s get back to the topic. Let’s get back to the present.
When the two armies faced each other, when Lu Bu found out that the commander facing him was not Liu Bei, but an unknown and weak scholar, his face turned pale.
First he laughed out loud.
Then he said, "Liu Xuande, I have captured all your generals, so you are desperate to seek help from anyone? Look at his face, it's as pale as a woman. What are you thinking of letting him be the commander-in-chief?"
