Chapter 629: Chapter 53: Breaking Army Strategist, Heroes of the World, The Great Talent Returns to Jiangnan_3

"The world is vast, and one of the decisive forces in the world must be an established cavalry army," said Ling Pingyang, holding in his control the five hundred elite Yue Family Heavy Cavalry, which are of top-tier battalion standards."

"Today I have seen that if we were to choose five hundred Tiger Barbarian Cavalry and five hundred Qilin Heavy Cavalry,"

"if they were to clash, I fear the outcome would likely hang between sixty and forty percent."

"However, once their horses are lost, in the lands of Jiangnan, there exists no possibility to replenish them."

"Once they lose those mounts that stand eight feet at the chest, almost dragon-like, able to carry thousands of pounds of weight, clad in hard armor, withstand the sound of arrows and swords and still have the courage to charge, how much of their combat power would this army lose?"

"And though Lord’s infantry of the Qilin Army is strong, without the Heavy Cavalry, they would find themselves in a passive position, constantly entangled, cut off, and maneuvered around by the enemy’s top cavalry, leaving the infantry soldiers extremely exhausted."

"Jiangnan might have the potential to dominate, yet it’s hard to conquer the whole world."

"Lord, you must forsake Jiangnan and head for the Western Regions."

Mr. Po Jun’s finger swept across the map, his gaze still and icy, he smiled and said: "Qibi Li’s Golden Scimitar Cavalry is already formed, the Regent King, that old Wolf King, had his martial prowess ruined, disregarded his own life and forcefully rehearsed, leaving him with little time. He defeated the Dangxiang, yet lacked the time to consume all the flesh."

"Qibi Li is already growing stronger there. Lord, if you go, you will have a cavalry at your disposal, and there’s also Li Zhaowen..."

Li Guanyi listened intently and naturally inquired,

"Who would be most advisable for me to take to the Western Regions?"

Mr. Po Jun smiled and said, "I wonder, Lord, what is your ambition?"

Li Guanyi responded, "Sir, are these all excellent strategies?"

Mr. Po Jun answered, "All excellent."

Li Guanyi replied, "Then I want the best of the best!"

The majestic Lord and the wildly proud strategist sat opposite each other, a candle flickering light between them, a cup of tea in their hands, drunk on their grand aspirations and ambitions.

Mr. Po Jun’s lips curled into a small smile as he burst into hearty laughter, then responded,

"Just bring a general or two!"

"Lord, alone into the Western Regions!"

Mr. Po Jun declared a strategy that all contemporary generals would deem unacceptable.

He was indeed a radical, reckless, and adventurous strategist, spreading his arms with a slight smile, and said: "What need for supplies, logistics, and armies? Lord, think about it carefully."

"That’s the Western Regions, repeatedly changing hands several times within just a few years."

"From Tuyuhun to Dangxiang, from Dangxiang to the Regent King."

"The chaos is extreme!"

"With famous generals, a foundation, a time of turmoil, and a force of Golden Scimitar Cavalry, what you need is simply to personally go there! In such times, it’s most suitable for a hero to rise and gather an entire military force."

"Leading with the Golden Scimitar Cavalry, a famous general like yourself galloping through the Western Regions, using the Thirty-six Tribes of the Western Regions as supplies, making them your army, the whole world shall bask in the great sun’s light."

"As for your current base, it is accumulating power in Jiangnan, waiting for the great changes I mentioned...," Mr. Po Jun’s finger forcefully pointed on the map of the Western Regions. His finger then slid, directly connecting the Western Regions to Jiangnan.

"The Dangxiang and the Holy Mountain in the Western Regions are here. In the winter, the mountains are covered in snow, revered as Holy Mountains. Come spring, the snow melts and flows down these mountains, forming a great river that flows from west to east."

"Seize this power—!"

Mr. Po Jun’s voice was deep; he stood, an elegant strategist walking behind the young lord, bent down from behind, stretched out his hand beside him, pointing at the map on the table, and said: "From here, possessing the plains of Guanzhong and the waterways to transport soldiers and horses, combined with the riches of the plains and the defensive barriers of the Feng River, advancing southwest to various tribes, taking the prestige of the Taiping Duke."

"Thus, the great enterprise can be accomplished!"

"Hereafter, Ying Country would occupy the north of the mountains, the Central Plains."

"And Lord’s power, backed up by Guanzhong, would confront Ying Country on prosperous grounds, occupy the Western Regions and Southwest, travel down the rivers to Jiangnan, and with a top-tier navy transporting troops and logistical needs back and forth along such an extended front, it would be enough to exhaust Chen Country at that time."

"And Chen Country would just be squeezed between Lord and Ying Country."

"This two-part strategy of dividing the world needs no Chen Country."

He sat down, looking at Li Guanyi, and smiled, "I wonder, Lord, do you have the boldness to enter the Western Regions alone, opening borders and extending territories for thousands of miles? By then, with territories spanning thousands of miles under your command, you would no longer need to be wary of Ying Country."

"Such would indeed be the foundation of becoming a [King]."

Li Guanyi replied, "It ought to be so."

"Thank you, sir!"

Mr. Po Jun laughed heartily, "No need." He fell silent for a moment, then frankly asked,

"I just never thought that Lord’s primary strategist had already been decided."

"Who then will be the strategist for the Qilin Army when I return?"

Li Guanyi said, "Mr. Yuan Zhi is my good friend."

"He is the strategist for the Qilin Army."

"He is also my right-hand man."

"But sir..."

The young lord raised his cup, smiling, "Mr. Po Jun is different, sir is not the strategist for the Qilin Army. You were not in the past, nor will you be in the future."

Li Guanyi looked at Po Jun, saying, "You are only Li Guanyi’s strategist, unique through the ages, amid countries as numerous as clouds and strategists as plentiful as rain, and we will have more wise men, army advisors, under our command in the future, each with different armies, having their strategists."

"But from the past to the present, and even to that future where I’m not sure if the world will scorn or fear us, you, sir, are the only strategist belonging solely to Li Guanyi."
