Chapter 677: Selection of the Eastern Expedition Vanguard Commander
"Yue Fei! He now has a Military Soul Legion!" Guo Hao said helplessly as he entered the tent.
"Oh? Beiwei Army?" Chen Xi's eyes lit up. Yue Fei's growth rate was a little beyond his expectations.
The Beiwei Army has been formed, and Yue Fei might be almost finished with his growth period. He might even enter the mature stage after gaining two or three more waves of experience.
In his mature period, Yue Fei must have at least reached the peak of commanding a large army. It should not be a problem for him to defeat an old guy like Huangfu Song. Even if he could not defeat Huangfu Song due to his experience, he could probably fight back.
With Yue Fei's level, it should not be a problem for him to fight against Japan.
"Yes, it's just what you think." Guo Hao nodded to confirm Chen Xi's guess, but the bitterness on his face was indeed lingering.
The direct disappearance of the Xiongnu Empire’s will made him very distressed.
He originally wanted to give it a try. After all, the Northern Huns had been completely destroyed, and he might be able to give birth to one directly.
As a result, before he could figure out how to give birth to it, a new military soul corps had already come online.
The Han Empire had two quotas, two quotas for exterminating the Northern Huns, half was given to the Yellow Turban Empire, and half was given to the Goryeo Sibu Empire.
The Yulin Army, Feixiong Army, Xianzhen Camp, Xiandeng Camp, Jinjia Camp and the current Beiwei Army have successfully formed six military soul legions.
The Xiandeng Camp and the Beiwei Army are both semi-military soul legions. Although they also have the abilities to resist death and quickly replenish troops, they lack the ultimate ability.
And perhaps because of Zhang Jue, the Golden Armor Battalion eventually rose to become a complete military soul corps with ultimate capabilities.
Although Guo Hao was very happy about having one more super legion, he still felt deep malice from it.
That was a targeting that came from the will of the world. Was it a punishment for the failure of the Sun Knight's original attempt to go straight to Miracle?
Otherwise, how could he, the embodiment of the empire's will, fail to create a military soul corps for the Sun Knights when he, the embodiment of the empire's will, personally took action?
Guo Hao was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Since he couldn't count on the Soul Corps, he still hoped that the Sun Knight would go straight to the third talent, or go straight for a miracle.
He estimated that since the Sun Knight was linked to his talent, as long as the power of the sun was strong enough, it would naturally drive the Sun Knight to advance.
He has already chosen his target, which is Japan. As long as he destroys the so-called Amaterasu, his sun power will naturally increase greatly, and by then the strength of the Sun Knights will also increase significantly.
As for the current situation, Yue Fei is the first candidate chosen by Guo Hao for the Eastern Expedition.
Although he is a younger version of Yue Fei and may still have some flaws in commanding and managing the army, training is enough to help Yue Fei make up for his shortcomings.
When the quality of soldiers is high enough, the difficulty in commanding and managing the army is relatively low, and in fact the impact is not that big at all.
In addition, with Huangfu Song in charge of the rear, there will be no problems in the big picture.
Originally, Guo Hao was a little worried about who would be the vanguard general in this landing battle.
After all, judging from the situation in Goryeo, Japan's strength is not particularly weak. Coupled with the ocean factor, it would be difficult for them to send a full-scale army to conquer Japan.
If we take the route of elite troops, neither Hua Xiong, Tang Zhou, nor Gao Shun seem capable of serving as commander-in-chief.
In other words, there was no way to subdue the others, especially Hua Xiong and Gao Shun. The origins of their troops destined them to the point that neither side would bow their heads.
But if there is no unified command, the several Military Soul Corps will be scattered and might end up losing more than they gain.
However, the appearance of Yue Fei made him see things clearly. He was a good fighter and a good commander, and he was also strong enough. He was the best choice for the vanguard corps to open up the bridgehead.
As long as he could gain a foothold, he would directly drive the Hanging Gardens that the Mohists had studied for seven or eight years across the sea.
Gather a large number of troops and directly attack the Japanese in one go.
The problem of the Sky Garden's flight altitude has not been solved yet. Only after a group of Mohist leaders worked day and night to make the Sky Garden achieve a flight altitude as high as three or four floors.
Moreover, at this altitude, it has to land from time to time, which has no practical strategic value at all.
At this height, not to mention siege equipment, even a legion attack could threaten the safety of the Sky Gardens.
Although the Mohists have equipped the Sky Garden with a series of advanced weapons, its own defense capabilities are still worrying. If it really flies into the sky, it is estimated that it will most likely become a target. It cannot survive a war and will definitely sink.
However, although flying high is unrealistic, floating on the sea is not a problem at all. This is one of the reasons why Guo Hao plans to conquer Japan next.
The giant turtle can only carry about ten thousand people at most, but the sky garden is large enough to carry two hundred thousand people.
Add to that the newly developed large ships, and a force of three or four hundred thousand would be more than enough to fight against Japan.
Judging from Goryeo's strength, this number of troops should be enough to gain a foothold in the early and middle stages. After waiting for the arrival of the second wave of reinforcements, they will be able to conquer Japan in one wave.
"General, has the commander of the Eastern Expedition vanguard been decided?" Zhuge Liang asked with a frown.
The conversation between Chen Xi and Guo Hao was a bit incoherent, but the people in the camp were all smart and they analyzed Guo Hao's plan in an instant.
Zhuge Liang found it a little hard to accept this, because he originally thought that he would be the commander of the vanguard of the Eastern Expedition.
After all, his talent is destined, and he can deal with all kinds of emergencies. Landing battle is definitely not an easy job.
Zhuge Liang thought about it and decided that he was the only one who had this ability, and the others could only be deputies at best.
Unless Guo Hao led the army personally, he should be the commander-in-chief no matter how he looked at it.
I didn't expect that a person who suddenly appeared could replace him.
"Yes, it's Yue Pengju. He will be the vanguard commander of the Eastern Expedition, and you will set off as the military advisor!" Guo Hao nodded and replied.
"Yes!" Zhuge Liang replied calmly.
He did not question Guo Hao's decision. After all, Guo Hao was well-known for appointing people based on their merits. He was just curious about when such a talented person emerged among his peers.
Let him be the deputy, which is something Fa Zheng, Sima Yi, Pang Tong and Xu Shu could not do.
But judging from the attitudes of Chen Xi and Guo Hao, Yue Fei, Yue Pengju, is definitely qualified to be his deputy, which aroused Zhuge Liang's competitive spirit.
Although he is not as dominant as Chen Xi, he can definitely be said to be dominating his peers.
Suddenly, a person of the same age who could serve as his deputy appeared , and not only Zhuge Liang, but also Sima Yi and others were aroused to be competitive.
One Zhuge Liang is enough to give them a headache, and now there is another Yue Pengju. How can they still live?
