Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"That's right. For me, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who can defeat me 100% for the time being," Jiang Shu said indifferently.

Jiang Shu was being modest. There probably isn't anyone in the entire history who could defeat him with 100% certainty.

After all, who can defeat a military genius with 100% certainty?

Chen Xi's hand trembled slightly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Even Huangfu Hao won't work?"

Holy crap, where did this military genius come from? Even Huangfu Yizhen is confident he can defeat him!

"Huangfu Yizhen, he would only be confident of fighting me if he brought at least all five schools of the Three Rivers region," Jiang Shu said indifferently.

Jiang Shu didn't put himself below others, after all, he was confident. Putting aside Huangfu Song from other worlds, Huangfu Song from the God Three world was just a madman, at most a half-step military god. But when it comes to military strategy, even a slight difference can make a huge difference.

Moreover, Jiang Shu had faced off against other military gods head-on. At that time, Jiang Shu was badly beaten, but in the end, he relied on his own strength to defeat that military god.

In terms of combat experience, Jiang Shu surpasses everyone else in this world.

Chen Xi's eyes lit up. He decided that he had to be on this guy's side. As for why? Duh, just think about how miserable those generals who lived in the same era as the God of War were.

They were almost completely crushed by that war god. If it were a war god like Caesar who relied on experience, they might still have a chance, but what was this one? It was a peak war god from another world who had finished his battles and come to this world.

Is this even playable? Reality is such a terrible game!

"You've sided with Lord Xuande?" Chen Xi asked.

"No, I want to take another look," Jiang Shu said righteously, touching his neck.

Even if he were to join someone else, he would absolutely need an army of his own. This army would have only one requirement: it must be able to defeat any army in the world and send Jiang Shu away.

As long as Jiang Shu can be sent away, he can easily create an army of 100,000 and train them on the move.

He, Jiang Shu, will never be betrayed again.

Jiang Shu and Chen Xi went outside, and then the group continued walking towards Suanzao. Soon they arrived at Suanzao.

Along the way, Liu Bei grew to like Chen Xi and Jiang Shu more and more. One was a scholar, and the other was a warrior. One was proficient in almost everything in terms of literature, and the other was skilled in training troops. With the help of these two, his great cause could be accomplished!

Chen Xi didn't see Liu Bei's hint, but Jiang Shu did. However, he needed to think about it. After all, in his previous life, he and Ji Fengzhou fought together to build an empire, but Ji Fengzhou betrayed him in the end. Liu Bei seems good now, but his future status will be different. Won't things change?

The group arrived at Suanzao. In order to save face for Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan gave Liu Bei two thousand infantry and cavalry, including more than three hundred cavalry.

Horses were a rare commodity at that time, and it was only because Gongsun Zan was in Youzhou that he could be so generous. Most of the other warlords only owned a few horses and kept them hidden away.

Afterwards, the group entered the alliance of feudal lords. Thanks to Chen Xi's plan and Liu Bei's status as a member of the Han imperial family, Liu Bei also gained a position. With this position, everything changed.

Despite Cao Cao's refusal, Yuan Shao successfully became the leader of the alliance, and then appointed Sun Jian as the vanguard, leading his troops out of Sishui Pass.

Chen Xi nudged Jiang Shu and asked, "Can Sun Jian be saved?"

Jiang Shu said, "Sun Jian isn't dead. Besides, even if you save him, he'll still die eventually."

"However, we could test the Xiliang cavalry," Jiang Shu pondered.

Jiang Shu and Liu Bei whispered something to each other.

Liu Bei glanced at Jiang Shu with surprise, but seeing that Chen Xi also supported him, he finally decided to speak with the leader of the alliance and offered to send a thousand soldiers to fight and support Sun Jian.

Yuan Shao glanced at Liu Bei with surprise, but still agreed. It was Liu Bei who proposed it. If he disagreed, he would offend Liu Bei anyway. It's strange, are there people vying for the vanguard these days?

Jiang Shu and Sun Jian, among others, went to Sishui Pass together.

the other side.

Dong Zhuo also learned of the news about the eighteen warlords.

After a beating and scolding, Dong Zhuo coldly said, "These rats from Guandong have led an army of 500,000 to attack our family. I wonder if you have any plan to repel them?"

Lu Bu stepped forward and coldly said, "These rats from Guanzhong are nothing to fear. I am willing to lead 30,000 elite cavalry to crush these rats for my father!"

"Well done, as expected of my son Fengxian!" Dong Zhuo smiled.

"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? This humble general is willing to go and fight the allied forces."

Dong Zhuo ordered, "Hua Xiong, listen to my command and lead 50,000 troops to defend Sishui Pass."

"Xu Rong, listen to my command! Lead 50,000 troops to suppress Hulao Pass, without fail!"

"Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, each lead 50,000 infantry and cavalry to garrison and defend various locations around Luoyang!"

"Li Jue, Guo Si, you two will lead 50,000 infantry and cavalry to guard Hangu Pass. If Han Sui makes any unusual moves, kill him immediately!"

…………

the other side.

Jiang Shu indifferently led a thousand infantry and cavalry to follow Sun Jian to Sishui Pass. Sun Jian had 20,000 elite troops, but was still defeated by Hua Xiong. So he only had a thousand infantry and cavalry. He wanted to defeat the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. He trained his troops while walking, washing away their original talents.

Meanwhile, Sun Jian and his group were also discussing Jiang Shu.

"What use is it if he only brings a thousand infantry and cavalry? He probably won't get much of the credit either," Zu Mao asked doubtfully.

"Moreover, they are training their troops while on the move, and the results are indeed remarkable; they are already showing signs of becoming elite troops," Sun Jian said, frowning.

They racked their brains but couldn't figure out that Jiang Shu, who only brought a thousand elite soldiers, was there to cover for them. After all, Sun Jian wasn't someone who knew nothing about military affairs, and it was impossible for him to suffer a major defeat. Since a major defeat was impossible, then Jiang Shu's thousand elite soldiers were more than enough.

Cheng Pu said, "Should we get him killed?"

Sun Jian remained silent, hesitating. In their eyes, it would be very easy to kill Jiang Shu, who only had a thousand elite soldiers, but should they offend Liu Bei, a member of the Han imperial family?

Although Liu Bei only had two thousand soldiers, he was still considered a warlord.

According to the principle of equal choice among the feudal lords, Liu Bei and Sun Jian were temporarily equals.

Finally, Sun Jian shook his head and said, "No need. He only has a thousand soldiers, but we need to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't cause trouble."

Sun Jian confidently declared, "This time, the title of vanguard and the first to scale the walls will surely be mine, and Hua Xiong's life will also be mine!"

Jiang Shu pondered silently. Sun Jian was a descendant of Sun Tzu, but why did Sun Ce and others never use Sun Tzu's military strategies such as "Bin Shi" in the original work?

Did Sun Tzu's teachings not survive after he was buried alive in the Bin Shi Pit?

Or is it that Sun Jian died too suddenly, without passing on the knowledge to Sun Ce and the others? The latter explanation seems more plausible, since the knowledge of inheritance certainly exists, and it was probably hidden among the Sun family ancestors, which Sun Ce and the others simply couldn't find.
