The Three Kingdoms Descend: Reincarnation of a Star General, I am the God-like Lü Bu

The atmosphere in the study became more lively due to Zhang Hezong's surrender.

Lu Shenxiao walked to the desk and poured two cups of hot tea.

He pushed one of the cups towards Zhang Hezong.

"Sit down and talk."

Zhang Hezong accepted the teacup with both hands, thanked him, and sat down in the guest seat.

Lu Shenxiao picked up the teacup and gently blew on the steam.

"Logically speaking..."

"Given your age, He Zong."

"He should be among the first batch of awakened players, and Zhang Liao's destiny must be that of an unparalleled general. He should have already broken through the 10,000-martial level and unleashed his domain by now."

Lu Shenxiao's gaze fell on Zhang Hezong's weathered face.

Why?

"Your current combat strength index exceeds the ordinary 9,999 points."

"But it's still stuck in an unexplored area?"

Zhang Hezong gave a wry smile.

He put down his teacup, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"President, you are unaware of this."

"I wasn't among the first players to awaken."

He sighed.

"The first two years of the national destiny game."

"I've always lived and worked in a small country in the south."

"The area is isolated and lacks resources."

Zhang Hezong's fingers gently caressed the rim of the teacup.

"Until last year."

"I finally made it back to the China region and completed the awakening of my destiny."

Upon hearing this explanation...

Lu Shenxiao and Ming Yuexi exchanged a glance and suddenly realized.

They woke up two whole years later than others.

Yet, within just one year, he was able to advance his strength to the level of surpassing the strongest general in Japan.

This talent.

He truly deserves the ancient name of Zhaohu.

"I see."

Lü Shenxiao nodded.

He put down his teacup and changed the subject.

"Let's talk about the current situation."

"The Japanese will surely attack from the sea, and their fleet will likely be at the city gates very soon."

The topic of war came up.

Zhang Hezong's expression immediately turned serious.

"President."

"IMHO."

"Although Xuzhou has developed rapidly, its cultural heritage is still relatively shallow."

Zhang Hezong's brows furrowed tightly.

"This war."

"This is extremely unfair to us."

He extended a finger and tapped it heavily on the table.

"If Xuzhou City is lost, it means the city will fall and everyone will die, and we will be completely eliminated."

"But what if the Tokugawa guild loses?"

Zhang Hezong shook his head.

"They suffered no fundamental losses."

"The castles on the Japanese mainland remain safe and sound."

"Because we don't have a boat."

His eyes revealed a deep sense of helplessness.

"The ocean of the new world is not the same as the one of this world."

"There are enormous deep-sea monsters everywhere there."

"There are also terrifying natural disasters that could erupt at any time."

He looked at Lü Shenxiao, his tone grave.

"There are no rare treasure ships of purple quality or higher."

"Any attempt to cross the ocean is tantamount to suicide."

"so."

Zhang Hezong gave his final summary.

"The Tokugawa guild is invincible."

"They are at a disadvantage and can retreat at any time, while we can only passively take the beating."

This analysis hits the nail on the head.

however.

Lu Shenxiao sat in the main seat.

After listening, his facial expression remained unchanged.

"That's not necessarily true."

Lu Shenxiao chuckled softly.

He leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping idly on the armrest.

"We don't have a boat right now."

"But after a while..."

A meaningful smile appeared on Lü Shenxiao's lips.

"Won't someone just come and deliver it?"

These words were spoken.

The study fell silent for a moment.

Zhang Hezong was stunned.

A hint of surprise flashed in his deep eyes.

Followed by.

The initial shock turned into contemplation.

"President."

"You mean...?"

"Using Japanese ships?!"

Lu Shenxiao nodded in satisfaction at Zhang Hezong's quick reaction.

"You understand me very well."

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the pitch-black night outside.

"Since they've come all this way by boat."

"If you don't accept it..."

"Wouldn't that make our Xuzhou city seem utterly inhospitable?"

Zhang Hezong sat in a chair.

His brain was working frantically.

Countless bold, crazy, and even outlandish tactical plans.

The images kept appearing, colliding, and recombining in his mind.

Seize the ship!

Counterattack!

"If we could really capture their treasure ship..."

"The balance of power has been reversed in an instant!"

"If a general with the strength to break through ten thousand ranks doesn't appear, we might actually be able to capture a city in Japan!"

Lü Shenxiao turned around.

He looked at the general who had just surrendered.

"Those rebels outside the city."

"Complex composition, each fighting its own battle."

Lu Shenxiao's tone became serious.

"You're in charge now."

"Primarily responsible for city defense."

He walked up to Zhang Hezong and patted him on the shoulder.

"At critical moments, we must also assist the main force in the pursuit."

Zhang Hezong knelt on one knee, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"This humble general."

"Yes, sir!"

In the time that follows.

The three sat around the desk and began to carefully analyze the specific tactical details.

During the conversation.

Lu Shenxiao was surprised to discover that Zhang Hezong was not only incredibly skilled in martial arts.

He was also highly skilled in commanding troops and deploying them in battle.

"I have collected several blue and white quality troop formation skill books."

"These military formations, although of low grade and rudimentary in effect."

"But its advantage lies in its simplicity and ease of learning, with extremely low requirements for internal energy."

He displayed the attribute panels one by one.

"The rebel army outside the city, though in high spirits, was ultimately a scattered and disorganized force."

"Forcing them to practice advanced military formations would be counterproductive."

Zhang Hezong paused for a moment, then continued.

"This kind of crude and simple military formation."

"On the contrary, it is most suitable for their current situation."

After listening, Lü Shenxiao nodded in agreement.

"good!"

"I trust He Zong to handle things."

That night.

The candlelight in the study stayed on until dawn.

The three developed detailed contingency plans for all possible emergencies.

As the first rays of dawn appear.

When the rain shines through the window onto the desk.

A series of hurried footsteps broke the morning's tranquility.

boom!

The study door was suddenly pushed open.

A scout rushed in, sweating profusely.

He didn't even bother to bow.

"Report—!"

The scout's voice trembled slightly with extreme tension.

"East China Sea!"

"A large number of Japanese warships have been discovered!"

He swallowed hard and gasped for breath.

"quantity."

"No fewer than fifty!"

"It's less than a hundred li (approximately 50 kilometers) from the sea near Xuzhou City!"

Upon hearing this message...

Lü Shenxiao, Zhang Hezong, and Mingyuexi.

He then stood up.

Lu Shenxiao walked to the window.

He opened the window, welcoming the salty sea breeze of the early morning.

His deep gaze was directed toward the distant East.

Where the sea meets the sky.

A dark shadow, like a dark cloud covering the sky, swept towards Xuzhou City.

Those were enormous warships with menacing designs.

On the sail.

The Tokugawa family's totem fluttered in the sea breeze.

war.

it has started!
