Chapter 2543
The World’s Prodigy
...
However, as they communicated during the march, Wei Yan and Xu Huang got to know Sima Yi better, and their attitudes gradually changed.
To Xu Huang, Sima Yi was undoubtedly a genius in his eyes. Whether in terms of brain thinking or control over the army, he was definitely among the top five in the world among people of the same age.
However, Xu Huang had at least experienced Liu Tong's extremely fast-changing command and combat methods, felt an alternative peak, and witnessed the mature and steady Zhuge Liang, who was fearless in the face of the god of war and even had an outrageous winning rate that was higher than the winning rate on paper.
It can be said that whether it is the pursuit of change, leading by example in the true sense, or advancing in a stable manner, using change to control the enemy and defeating the enemy with change.
Even among the younger generation, Xu Huang had seen this kind of combat method and had even felt its power personally.
As for the methods and cruelty of the older generation, even Xu Huang still feels a lingering fear when he thinks back on them now.
I originally thought that Xu Rong's fighting style was already very brutal, but I didn't expect that when Huangfu Song trained and taught them, it was even more brutal.
If it weren't for his physical fitness that allowed internal energy to leave the body, Xu Huang estimated that he would have to lie down during the training process.
In fact, Xu Huang, who had been in the Baibo Army for a period of time, really fought with Huangfu Song on the battlefield and achieved excellent results. At least compared to other people, it could definitely be called excellent.
Being able to leave alive with more than 40% of the brothers, looking at the world, at least at that time, was enough to be proud of.
Although Huangfu Song did not pursue the troops at that time, it did not cover up this excellent reality.
It can be said that having experienced so many things, Xu Huang is quite knowledgeable.
In addition, Xu Huang's positioning of himself was to come here to help and to cover everyone's retreat when the battle situation was really unfavorable.
With this mentality, Xu Huang was truly looking forward to the future of young people, so he would generally think about the rightness and wrongness of Sima Yi's orders, and would choose to execute them as long as they were not big and fatal mistakes.
Because doing so can also let these young people know the consequences of issuing some wrong orders.
In other words, Xu Huang would not normally resist Sima Yi's orders, although he was not sure what he would do and could only act according to circumstances most of the time.
After all, the lack of intelligence is too serious, and the intelligence obtained is likely to be seriously distorted.
Nine out of ten pieces of intelligence came from Parthia. In this situation, Xu Huang felt that it would be better for him to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.
In comparison, Wei Yan can be said to be completely different.
When he first set out from China, Wei Yan knew the situations he might face after going to Central Asia. It could be said that he could not escape the fate of being commanded.
Even Wei Yan, who was proud by nature, did not resist this.
After all, I have been in Chang'an for some time, and I have been exposed to things like dream rehearsal, and I have been addicted to it for a while.
It can be said that during that period, Wei Yan, who thought he was still a strong man, almost began to doubt his life.
If Wei Yan hadn't seen that even someone like Guan Yu had lost, it would have been difficult for him to get over it.
No matter whether it is commanding the army, responding on the battlefield, or using various strategies and tactics, even if they are unconventional and risky, the final result is still a loss.
Even most of the time, he was the target of complete destruction. Seeing the true height and knowing his own insignificance also made Wei Yan more cautious. It can be said that during the course of Han Xin and Bai Qi's opening, although Wei Yan never won, he basically participated in every opportunity.
Because every time he lost, he could feel his own progress, so Wei Yan didn’t care about losing.
It can be said that among the people participating in this class, which is quite a lot in number, there are basically no winners, and there is not even a tie.
He thought everyone was like this, but after careful understanding, Wei Yan found that Zhuge Liang was incredibly strong.
Because the people they faced were basically Bai Qi or Han Xin's accessories, commonly known as having hands.
But Zhuge Liang was different. Every time Zhuge Liang took time out to participate in dream rehearsals, no matter whether his opponent was Bai Qi or Han Xin, he would choose to take action personally.
The command methods and combat modes displayed by each other even made Wei Yan, who thought he knew a lot, feel that he had broadened his horizons.
The methods of both sides are very powerful, and it is a situation where the eyes can see it, but the brain cannot comprehend it at all.
It was this point that made Wei Yan realize that there are always people better than you. No wonder he was able to command a large army and carry out foreign wars at such a young age.
Then thinking about the fact that the other party was better at internal affairs, which seemed to be stronger than military affairs, Wei Yan could only sigh that the world was so big and full of wonders.
It is precisely because of this understanding, coupled with the fact that we can learn some formation knowledge from Zhuge Liang's practice process.
And Zhuge Liang didn't mind him learning, and even taught him when he had time. In this situation, even though Wei Yan was arrogant by nature, he would still show a bit of respect towards Zhuge Liang.
So after learning some information about Central Asia, since they were all of the same age and Zhuge Liang had been with Sima Yi for so long, he must have a deep understanding of Sima Yi.
Based on this premise, Wei Yan also asked Zhuge Liang about his opinion on Sima Yi, trying to understand Sima Yi in advance.
Wei Yan is not a fool. How could he not be prepared at all when he knew that the other party might be his commander?
Knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. Even for potential future bosses, you must be adequately prepared.
In response to Wei Yan's question, Zhuge Liang, after thinking about it, remembered the melancholy young man whose brain was out of sync with his body, and gave a pretty good evaluation.
"Zhongda is indeed a genius in the world. He is unique in military affairs. He can be considered a friend who is both an enemy and a friend..." Thinking of Sima Yi's obsession, Zhuge Liang felt that he should still satisfy the other party's idea.
When Wei Yan heard this answer, the idea in his mind became very simple.
Anyone who can compete with Zhuge Liang is definitely not someone he can surpass.
Anyone who can be called a friend by a peerless genius is most likely also a very outstanding genius.
This is also the reason why Wei Yan hardly jumped when he first came to Taixifeng.
Because from the very beginning, Sima Yi was placed in a position of strength equal to that of Zhuge Liang, so naturally he would receive a lot more respect.
