All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 6 Chu Xiu: This kind of underhandedness can be truly boundless!
The passive skills of the professional templates are, strictly speaking, the personal talents of the "Four Great Ceilings," such as Lu Bu's innate super strength, Zhao Yun's unparalleled courage, and Guan Yu's posthumous resurrection, all of which were showcased in the original work.

Zhuge Liang's ability to "arrange troops and deploy formations" was the same.

Chu Xiu had always thought that skills without levels wouldn't be affected by his talent, but now he realized he was wrong.

His talent has never been about breaking through the limits of level or skill.

Instead, it breaks through the upper limit of "the world".

The same applies to passive skills: if he chooses Lu Bu, his divine power will continue to grow with training, without any fixed limit.

If he chooses Guan Yu, the time it takes for his soul to manifest after death will also break free of constraints.

If one's mental strength is strong enough, immortality is not impossible.

Choosing Zhao Yun allows him to unleash his full potential in dire situations, breaking free from the constraints of human power.

However, things that cannot be added to are not reflected in the data panel; you have to discover them yourself.

The same applies to Zhuge Liang's passive skill "arranging troops".

The ultimate limit under the constraints of the world is simply "commanding like an arm." In the end, it still requires command; various orders must be given to the soldiers for them to carry them out.

This is the upper limit of the dungeon world; even Zhuge Liang, as a template character, cannot break it.

However, Chu Xiu can ignore this upper limit.

It has achieved the goal of "being able to control the troops under one's command" 100%.

"Ten soldiers on the far right, draw your bows, charge five hundred meters, and shoot at the target on the far left!"

He was directing things in his mind.

As a result, without any orders being given, the ten soldiers did as instructed!
He could command remotely, even surpassing modern radio technology. What's even more outrageous is that the execution of his orders could be fed back.

It can almost be said that once Chu Xiu gained command, he became one with the army.

It truly achieved "commanding with ease," and it wasn't just a figure of speech!
"Holy crap, this not only boosts the army's combat power, but also allows them to use a ton of incredibly underhanded tactics!"

For example, he could have ten "strategists" dressed in his clothes to command a large army.

He, however, remained hidden in the shadows.

Without this "marker," who could find him? Even Cao Cao, the master of Cao's camp, would be completely baffled!

"Even with the markings, there's still plenty of room for maneuver!"

Chu Xiu grinned sinisterly and had a specially made "four-wheeled vehicle" over two meters tall built to serve as his personal vehicle.

However, the figures on the seats, adorned with silk turbans and feather fans, are remarkably lifelike.

But he was just a wooden puppet.

As for him, he was hidden in a "steel chamber" inside the four-wheeled vehicle—if someone wanted to behead him during the first round of elimination, he would probably feel very satisfied.

Not only that, he also came up with an even more sinister idea.

For example, sending spies to infiltrate the camps of feudal lords, relaying messages in real time based on orders, and even remotely recruiting and dispatching troops!
However, after testing, he discovered that this control method had a distance limitation.

It's only about 20 kilometers, or forty li.

It's not limited by skills, but by Chu Xiu's mental attributes—roughly, each point of attribute can increase the control distance by 1 kilometer.

This distance is the radius, and it can be controlled from both sides simultaneously.

Currently, the area he can control is a circular region with a diameter of forty kilometers, or eighty li, centered on himself!

"So, Hulao Pass is also under my control?"

Thinking of this, he turned to Cao Cao and said, "Mengde, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. I plan to send a group of spies into Hulao Pass to gather intelligence for our army. This requires a sum of money, about a million coins!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a moment.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Someone, go and inform the tomb raiders to find a 'bucket' near Hulao Pass and borrow some money!"

The people under my command are very efficient.

The next morning, a million coins were delivered to Chu Xiu. That evening, dozens of carefully selected spies were dispatched to various lords' territories, Hulao Pass, and even the imperial capital, Luoyang.

With Chu Xiu's orders, they began constructing a secret base.

He not only wanted to gather intelligence on Hulao Pass, but also to establish an intelligence organization covering the entire Central Plains, laying a vast net with everyone connected to him on a single line.

Used to deal with other players!

"Given the way they contacted me, unless a god descended to earth, no one could possibly guess they were my spies, no matter how hard they racked their brains!" Chu Xiu thought to himself.

"However, what would Zhuge Liang's reaction be if he knew that I had turned his 'troop deployment' into such a grotesque mess?"

……

The three-day protection period has half of the time remaining.

With the efforts of numerous players, chaos erupted on all sides, including the eighteen warlords, Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu, and the imperial court.

A series of events occurred one after another.

For example, Dong Zhuo suddenly sent troops to kill the entire family of Situ Wang Yun, leaving no blood relatives alive except for a maid named Diao Chan.

The commander of Hulao Pass has changed; it is no longer Hua Xiong, but Lü Bu.

In addition, there was his deputy general Zhang Liao and strategist Li Ru.

On Yuan Shao's side, although no bloodshed occurred, they were secretly adjusting their formations, preparing to go to war with others at any time.

Given the mutual distrust, let alone joining forces to attack Hulao Pass, they should be grateful if they don't even start fighting each other.

"The alliance between the three has been agreed upon! From this day forward, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei will fight for me, and Sun Jian will also give his full support, advancing and retreating with me!"

Cao Cao found Chu Xiu and said, "Not only that, I also deliberately created a false impression by sending people to visit Gongsun Zan, Kong Rong, and Tao Qian, so that the Yuan brothers would not be sure how many families they had secretly allied with!"

Because of the existence of players, future grudges can easily be used as a tool for manipulation.

For example, Gongsun Zan died at the hands of Yuan Shao, and Kong Rong died at the hands of Cao Cao, but their future friendships could still make others wary.

If Kong Rong and Tao Qian had known the future, they would very likely have joined forces with Yuan Shao to deal with Cao Cao.

Because Cao Cao was their future enemy, even their mortal enemy!
However, their future relationship with Liu Bei will certainly make Yuan Shao wary, and he will not be able to truly trust them. Not to mention Gongsun Zan's side.

Given the mutual suspicion, Yuan Shao had to think twice before deciding to deal with Cao Cao.

This was exactly the effect Cao Cao wanted.

"However, Liu Bei is very good at winning people's hearts. I'm not worried about his own personal guards, but the troops he recruits with my help will probably become too powerful to control in the future!"

With the three parties forming an alliance, Liu Bei had no soldiers, only generals.

Therefore, Cao Cao and Sun Jian each contributed 500 troops to be led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. In return, Liu Bei had to obey their orders and serve them temporarily within the alliance.

Cao Cao was the leader of the alliance, and Sun Jian was the deputy leader.

Cao Cao was no fool; he was certainly wary of Liu Bei. Therefore, he assigned troops from his own family to lead his own clansmen who were absolutely loyal.

I'm not worried about being kidnapped.

The situation is similar on Sun Jian's side.

However, the gathering of the eighteen lords was not simply a matter of eighteen armies coming together; there were actually quite a few scattered "righteous men" like Liu Bei and his two companions.

They simply didn't directly seek out the feudal lords to form alliances like Liu Bei and his two companions.

Instead, they joined the army and served under the feudal lords, dedicating themselves to the lords they admired!

This was also one of the ways in which the feudal lords developed in the early stages.

After the three parties formed an alliance, Liu Bei used the names of Cao Cao and Sun Jian to gather righteous men, ostensibly to recruit soldiers for the two men, so they couldn't say anything.

With Liu Bei's skill, once a new recruit joins his ranks, how could he not be surnamed Liu?

This made Cao Cao feel like he was aiding the enemy!

“It’s not that he’s too big to handle, but that he’ll become a major threat. Liu Bei is the kind of ambitious and ruthless leader who grows in the wind!” Chu Xiu said, then suddenly smiled and added, “However, I was just wondering how to plant spies in Guo Liang’s camp, and now the opportunity has come!”

The troops Cao Cao provides can only be used by Guo Liang to deal with natives, not to eliminate players.

Because their true "commander" was Cao Cao and his strategist Chu Xiu.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were merely Guo Liang's sworn brothers, not his subordinates. When they fought, they were fighting against the enemy's main general, and they couldn't help him chase down and kill the player.

Therefore, he had to build his own team.

But what if, while the enemy is building their team, Cao Cao's trusted men are planted in to steal kills?

"This won't work for other 'Wuhou' players. The military camp is heavily guarded, making it impossible to transmit orders, let alone control the kills in real time. But I can!"
