Chapter 439: The Guilty Huangfu Song
After receiving the reply from Luoyang , Guo Hao was very satisfied. They were worthy of being a think tank and had perfectly solved the decision of going north or east.
Since there is no problem with the Eastern Expedition, all that remains is to watch Huangfu Song's performance.
In fact, Guo Hao was also observing the new army trained by Huangfu Song. The Eight Schools of Xiyuan had been dragging on for who knows how long, but finally there was some progress.
"General, come here, let me show you the legion I have trained!" Huangfu Song boasted about his eight Xiyuan schools to his heart's content. Anyway, each branch of the army had great theoretical potential, and he was not inferior in this respect at all.
In fact, Huangfu Song felt very guilty. His eight schools in Xiyuan were not the same as agreed upon at the beginning, and many of them had sneaked in just to make up the numbers.
"Is there something wrong with your Eight Schools of Xiyuan? Not to mention the shield guard-like soldiers over there, this thing is a sharp soldier, right? Are you trying to fool me like this?"
Guo Hao was not a rookie and had some basic understanding of military corps. He spotted the sharp warriors and shield guards from the so-called Eight Schools of Xiyuan at a glance. Although their appearance had been changed, they were still the original types of soldiers .
"Send a team of Shadow Warriors to show us!" Huangfu Song decisively began to speak with facts.
In Guo Hao's doubtful gaze, Shadow Warrior merged into the nearby shadows like a pool of black shadow.
"This is the new type of soldier I created from the Japanese ninjas and the Yin-Yang family - the Shadow Warriors. It has greatly enhanced the survivability of the Warriors. Now they are the executioners in the shadows!" Huangfu Song immediately began to brag about the new Warriors.
"Yin-Yang School? Do you know any successor of the Yin-Yang School?" Guo Hao looked at Huangfu Song in confusion.
What a joke, he and Chen Xi haven’t found the successor of the Yin-Yang School for so long, why can Huangfu Song find the successor of the Yin-Yang School.
"The Zou family of Luoyang. They are the direct descendants of Zou Yan. They have a lot of Yin-Yang classics." Huangfu Song was even more surprised. Isn't this something everyone knows?
"?" Guo Hao slowly asked a question in his mind, but he figured it out in an instant.
It turned out that because of this misunderstanding, the Zou family probably thought that he and Chen Xi were dissatisfied with them and planned to find a new successor of the Yin-Yang Family to replace them, so they never showed up.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. What are the flaws of this Shadow Warrior?" Guo Hao nodded to show that he understood, and then continued to ask.
The reason why the Sharp Knight is so powerful is because it focuses on burst and attack. Now that the Shadow Sharp Knight has greatly enhanced its survivability, some aspects must be weakened.
It's not that there aren't some all-round arms. The Vanguard is a very comprehensive arm, a hexagonal warrior that excels in all aspects. But it is obvious that currently only the Shadow Warrior with two talents cannot reach the level of the Vanguard.
“Hehehe, hasn’t this just been molded? It still needs subsequent practice and correction. Maybe it will be able to combine all its advantages in the future!” Huangfu Song said with a dry laugh.
There is no way. If you get something, you must lose something. While the Shadow Warrior's survivability is improved, it naturally suffers from the disadvantage of reduced offensive capability.
"The ability to thrust is still there, but the power to charge is gone. Now I can probably only be used as a scout and assassin!" Huangfu Song was a little embarrassed.
If compared with the blank double talents, Shadow Warrior's current strength has actually reached the standard. At this level, his performance on the battlefield will definitely live up to the name of double talents.
After all, this is the pinnacle of training. Further development still requires actual combat on the battlefield.
No matter how much or how well you train, you will eventually have to face the end on the battlefield.
The reason they were able to be trained to have dual talents was partly because these were veterans who had seen blood during the Hulao Pass period, but more so because the essence of heaven and earth had revived, making training much easier than before.
"It's so-so, but it's quite suitable for Di Qing's talent. We can consider training one and sending him to Liangzhou." Guo Hao curled his lips. Huangfu Song boasted a lot, but it was really like that.
The strength of reaching the double talent standard sounds good, but compared with the five schools of Beigong, it is really a world of difference.
Not counting the veterans of the Imperial Guards, just the soldiers with dual talents in the Five Schools of Beigong are definitely much stronger than the Shadow Warriors.
However, as a newly-emerged military force, Guo Hao can barely accept it, and there is still room for improvement.
"Next one, you should train one more and send him to Liangzhou to be led by Di Qing. His talent for the night is very suitable for your type of soldiers. I hope it will have a different effect."
"The next one is the shield guard. My shield guard is not an ordinary shield guard, it is a special product!"
Huangfu Song sighed and said, to be honest, he really didn't want to train like this, but who told him that he couldn't come up with a new one, so he could only accept it.
The government has already pardoned these Yellow Turbans, so how could he still keep chasing them?
"These soldiers must have come from the Yellow Turban warriors. The aura in them really makes people nostalgic!" Guo Hao continued speaking following Huangfu Song's words.
The Yellow Turban Warriors are old rivals. If the Yellow Turban Warriors had not been able to restrain the Sun Cavalry and their numbers were too large, the Sun Cavalry might have been able to achieve a miracle.
"Yes, this is also the only imperial guard among the eight schools in Xiyuan." Huangfu Song also looked helpless. Strictly speaking, these people were all good citizens, and he could not discriminate against them.
"Tell me about it!" Guo Hao became interested. There were not many imperial guards in the Han Dynasty at present.
In total, there are six imperial guards, namely Taiyang, Tunqi, Yueqi, Changshui, Shesheng and Infantry. Except for Taiyang, all the others have been basically dismantled into pieces and stuffed into various new armies to serve as basic officers, which can be regarded as the old leading the new in a sense.
"The first talent is adaptive, and the second talent is fanaticism. Combined with the original talent of the Yellow Turban Warrior, great strength and endurance, this shield guard can now even compete with the infantry battalion."
Huangfu Song had complicated feelings towards this strongman shield guard. To be honest, when the two sides were fighting each other, he had no idea how many Yellow Turban strongmen he had killed. But now, he had actually trained a Yellow Turban strongman himself. This development was simply magical.
But now he understood that since there was an amnesty, it meant an amnesty. There were hundreds of millions of people who participated in the Yellow Turbans. If Zhang Jue had not been killed, who knows what would have happened.
"Can you accept it?" Guo Hao asked curiously. Huangfu Song had advocated killing all these Yellow Turbans at the beginning. If he hadn't pleaded for mercy, some of these Yellow Turbans might have been killed at that time.
"The Yellow Turbans are just some unfortunate people. They had different positions at the beginning. If they were not killed, it would not be enough to shock the world. Now that they are willing to contribute to the Han Dynasty, how can I turn them away!"
Huangfu Song sighed. Everyone had witnessed how chaotic the country was during Liu Hong's reign. Now that the world had changed, there was nothing he couldn't let go of.
