The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 607 Put it to death
As Liu Fan's most trusted and relied-upon general, Wu Yi was not only loyal and capable of being a general, but also had wisdom and foresight.

It can be said that he is an all-round second-rate talent.

Compared with Liu Fan, Wu Yi was most aware of his own embarrassing position among the kings.

Even if he trained a corps of soul guards, what would be the use?

Once the war begins, Liu Bei's White Ear Elite Soldiers and Sun Ce's Overlord Iron Cavalry can directly participate in the battle. Which of the two can his military soul legion compare to?
As for guarding Liu Fan.

Now is the start-up stage, not the time to consolidate imperial power after the world is stabilized.

Liu Bei's White Ear Elite Soldiers were initially built with the Imperial Guards as their backbone, but Liu Bei decisively transformed them.

Even if he could also transform it, he would definitely not be stronger than the White Ear Elite Soldiers.

After all, the experience of the White Ear elite soldiers in fighting is beyond his reach.

I have fought against elite cavalry, heavy infantry, large armies, charged through arrays of arrows, and attacked fortified cities...

If he starts from scratch, it will take him forever to catch up.

So this path is simply not feasible.

After all, they are starting a business collectively, and they are not thinking about how to ensure they don’t lose or make a comeback, but how to demonstrate their own value and compete for the cake.

The Military Soul Corps under the command of Liu Bei and Sun Ce, an all-round infantry and a hand-to-hand cavalry, have reached a certain level that is beyond their reach.

Therefore, no matter from which perspective, Zhang Ren's crossbow and elephant soldiers are the best choice.

Differentiated competition!
Liu Fan remained silent.

Li Yan, who was standing beside Liu Fan, was also an expert on military affairs and quickly understood what Wu Yi meant.

Given Liu Fan's current awkward situation, if Zhang Ren's crossbow and elephant soldiers can be formed, it would indeed be the best choice.

"Ziyuan, how confident are you?" Li Yan asked solemnly.

"One percent!" Wu Yi told the truth.

If it were so easy to build a military soul corps, heroes like Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei would not have only one corps.

Their luck can only last for a while.

From this point of view, Liu Fan is actually still a possibility.

After all, he is a vassal king and holds the Chixiao Sword in his hand.

But the key point is that Liu Fan has good luck, but his strength cannot keep up.

If the Chixiao Sword was placed in Liu Bei's hands, he would be able to immediately pull out a legion of military souls.

He is strong enough, and has many talented generals and soldiers under his command. All he needs is an opportunity.

Li Yan sighed softly.

No wonder Liu Fan hesitated.

%!
The risk is too great.

If they fail, the fortune of the Chixiao Sword will be damaged, and they are afraid that they will never have such an opportunity again.

"If we wait until we capture Kushan, and then..." Li Yan realized his problem as soon as he said this.

The Kushan Empire does not belong to them, but to the powerful and wealthy families.

This piece of cake had already been divided by Tian Ze, and they couldn't get a hand of it.

As for taking away the rest, by then the opportunity was gone.

After much calculation, it seems that now is the best time.

Everyone fell silent.

This seems to be a dead end.

To gamble or not to gamble?

Just when everyone was struggling to make a decision, Huang Quan stepped forward.

"Actually, there are two more methods."

"Gong Heng!" Liu Fan exclaimed in surprise when he heard this.

Huang Quan usually does not show off his talents, but in fact he is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. "I have carefully studied the history books and military books of ancient and modern times, and I have some guesses about the creation of the Military Soul Corps."

"One way is the method of Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an in the past. Use killing as a sword to temper the will and body of the soldiers. As long as you experience enough battles and kill enough enemies, you will be able to temper an elite division."

Everyone sighed when they heard this.

Not only Huang Quan knew this method, but they also knew it.

But the question is where can we find so many wars and enemies?
Bai Qi was indeed an example of a late bloomer. He rose from an ordinary soldier to the top of the Warring States Period step by step, and only came to prominence in the Battle of Yique at the age of 38.

But they can't wait!
After all, this method requires going through quite a few battles.

The general direction of the war against the Kushans had already been decided, and it was impossible for Tian Ze, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others to change their plans for him.

"The second method is what Li Ling used in the past!" Huang Quan said with sharp eyes.

Although Li Ling's ending is hard to describe, his bloody battle against the Huns was indeed earth-shattering.

Five thousand infantrymen fought against the main force of more than 80,000 elite cavalry of the Huns on the grassland. They fought and retreated for many days and killed and wounded more than 10,000 enemies. In the end, they were defeated because they ran out of food and arrows.

The value of this battle is indeed not low.

"Gongheng, what do you mean?" Wu Yi frowned as if he had thought of something.

"Only when you are in danger can you survive!" Huang Quan said in a deep voice.

"Only by going through such dangerous battles and desperate situations can there be the possibility of transformation."

Wu Yi's face darkened slightly, and he looked at Huang Quan angrily: "Do you know how dangerous this is? If you are not careful, you will never come back."

There are many methods that Huang Quan mentioned that one can think of, but how many people can actually do it?

Why were the Xiliang soldiers so strong at the beginning of the troubled times?

the reason is simple.

One hundred thousand people fought each other, and in the end only ten thousand were left. These ten thousand were definitely the elite.

In that meat grinder in Xiliang, those who were able to survive were all elite troops.

The soldiers from Xiliang have fought in many difficult battles.

The method Huang Quan mentioned is exactly the same as the training method of Xiliang soldiers.

Push Zhang Ren and this elite force off the cliff. If they can fly up, they will be fledgling eagles. If they die in the fall, that's fine.

In this way, the fortune of the Han Kingdom and the Scarlet Sky Sword was preserved, but the lives of the soldiers were lost.

"Our Han is in an advantageous position, and our national strength is growing day by day. Why has it come to this?" Wu Yi suddenly regretted coming here.

"As you said, Ziyuan, this is our last chance." Huang Quan said lightly.

He is not a cold-blooded person and he also understands the friendship among his comrades in the army.

Soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives, and as those in power, they should indeed make decisions carefully.

But as a strategist, he looks at issues from a longer-term perspective than Wu Yi.

Liu Fan needed a military soul corps, and the appearance of Zhang Ren and this crossbow and elephant soldier was just right at this time.

If it is really as Wu Yi wished and such a military soul corps was created, it would be extremely important to Liu Fan.

The risk you take now will surely pay off tenfold or a hundredfold in the future.

Even though the three kings are now united, Liu Fan and Liu Bei are brothers and have a very close relationship.

But interests move people's hearts, and strength determines everything.

Even if Liu Bei supported Liu Fan, the civil and military officials and powerful families under Liu Bei would not willingly give up their interests.

Only by demonstrating his own value and ability can Liu Fan get his share.

In the current situation, the number of troops is no longer important, because everyone’s situation is similar, and the troops you can mobilize can also be mobilized by others.

No matter how many soldiers there are, only a certain number can be deployed to the battlefield, and the rest can only serve to increase morale and maintain order.

The existence of an elite force is a reflection of strength.
