I summoned all the famous generals of history in another world.

Chapter 474 The Yellow Turban Camp, Zhu Sheng!

Xu Da, who was personally visited and invited by Zhu Yuanzhang, quickly distinguished himself in the army with his extraordinary talent as a commander.

In the recent clashes between the Yellow Turban Army and the Great Xuan Dynasty, though the number of battles was small, it was enough to demonstrate the Yellow Turban Army's unfathomable strategic vision and art of command.

Even Chang Yuchun, a renowned general under Zhu Yuanzhang who was recognized for both bravery and command, had to admire Xu Da's talent after several exchanges and discussions with him, and was willing to step down as subordinate to him.

In addition, Xie Zijing also recruited three divine generals on her way back – the three brothers Li Hu, Li Yang, and Li Lu.

These three are all top-notch fighters, highly skilled in martial arts, and unparalleled in bravery.

Even with the three of them working together, Zhu Tianpeng could only barely hold his own and could not gain the upper hand.

Their addition undoubtedly injected greater fighting power into Zhu Yuanzhang's army.

"Gentlemen, the Great Xuan army led by Li Yuan is advancing with unstoppable momentum, and our army is in a critical situation."

"However, there is always a way out. We have gained many brave men under our command, and perhaps we can devise a plan to resolve this crisis."

Inside the Yellow Turban Army camp, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke in a deep voice, his brows revealing a solemn expression.

"My lord, my father, I am willing to lead the troops into battle. With my martial skills, I am sure I can crush the enemy's morale."

Upon hearing this, Xie Zijing stepped forward and confidently stated.

Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it exuded a strong sense of confidence.

Although her own bravery is not particularly outrageous, her unique hidden weapon - the Poisonous Horse-Diving Stake - is enough for her to defeat the strong with the weak.

Defeating or even killing many beings whose strength surpasses that of themselves.

The Scorpion Demon's signature move in "Journey to the West" is the Poisonous Sting, a skill derived from her venomous tail that can cause immense damage.

In the story, the Scorpion Demon used this skill not only to injure the Buddha, but also to the point that even the combined forces of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie could not defeat her.

Furthermore, this special move of hers was even able to break through the golden bodies of Sun Wukong and Buddha, demonstrating its powerful toxicity.

After being implanted into the Tianwu Continent, her signature move, the Poisonous Horse-Diving Stake, became her unique hidden weapon – the Poisonous Horse-Diving Stake!

The Poisonous Horse Stake is shaped like an exquisite jade hairpin, about seven inches long, and is carved entirely from rare poisonous jade. Its color is warm and lustrous, yet it conceals a deadly intent.

Its tip is carved into a fine scorpion tail shape, and contains a tiny mechanism that can store and release Xie Zijing's unique deadly poison.

The entire hidden weapon emitted a faint, eerie light. When used, Xie Zijing only needed to press the hidden mechanism lightly, and a drop of crystal-clear yet highly toxic venom would seep from the tip of the poisoned stinger. This venom was enough to penetrate most armor and instantly corrode the enemy's flesh, causing wounds that were difficult to heal.

The most peculiar thing about this hidden weapon is that its venom contains special components that can break through protective energy and even the physical body.

Ordinary beginner or even intermediate war gods with relatively weak internal energy would be no match for Xie Zijing's unique hidden weapon.

It's almost as if they resisted each other without uttering a sound!

"General Zijing is unparalleled in bravery, but the way of war is not just about martial arts prowess."

"I have a plan that may stop the enemy. Although the Great Xuan army is powerful, they have come from afar and must be exhausted."

"We can ambush them at key points and launch a surprise attack when they pass by, catching them completely off guard."

Xu Da, not to be outdone, stroked his long beard and spoke slowly.

"We are willing to be the vanguard, charging into battle, and never retreating!"

The three brothers, Li Hu, Li Yang, and Li Lu, echoed in unison.

The combined voice of the three was like thunder, filled with heroic ambition.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt somewhat relieved.

He gazed at this group of brave men, and a surge of pride welled up within him.

Although this group was new to the job, they quickly rose to prominence and became the backbone of his team.

The presence of each of them gave him more confidence to defeat his powerful enemies.

"Very well! We will follow Tiande's plan and set up an ambush at the key points."

"General Zijing led his troops out to strike, blunting the enemy's momentum. The three brothers, Li Hu, Li Yang, and Li Lu, were the vanguard, charging into battle."

"General Chang and I will then lead a large army to provide support."

"In this battle, we will surely avenge our humiliation and let the Great Xuan army know that the Yellow Turban Army is not a force to be trifled with!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly, his voice booming and exceptionally loud.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with excitement and shouted in unison.

"My lord, please do not act rashly or carelessly!"

Just as everyone was filled with enthusiasm and their oaths were resounding, Zhu Sheng, Zhu Yuanzhang's top strategist, stepped out slowly, holding a feather fan.

His words carried a calm and cautious tone, like a clear stream that extinguished the fervent fire in everyone's hearts.

Zhu Sheng, courtesy name Yunsheng, could be called a strategist if Liu Bowen was a tactician.

Historically, when Zhu Yuanzhang marched into Huizhou Prefecture, he failed to conquer it after a long siege. So he visited Zhu Sheng three times to persuade him to come out of seclusion. After Zhu Sheng came out of seclusion, he presented Zhu Yuanzhang with the nine-character mantra that would become famous in later generations: "Build high walls, store up grain, and delay declaring yourself king."

These nine words helped Zhu Yuanzhang conquer the world, and even Chairman Mao gave them extremely high praise.

The reason why Zhu Sheng is "not very famous" is mainly because he knows when to retire gracefully.

In the second year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Sheng had already foreseen that Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of meritorious officials was only a matter of time, so he declined the rewards and took the initiative to retire to his hometown.

This also made Zhu Sheng one of the few founding heroes who died a natural death.

"Although our morale is high, war cannot be decided by mere enthusiasm."

"Under Li Yuan's command is a fierce general named Li Yuanba. This man is exceptionally skilled in martial arts and has the power to break through a city single-handedly. If our army makes rash moves, and General Zijing is no match for him, once we are defeated, the Da Xuan army will take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and we may be plunged into an abyss of no return. This is a great taboo in military strategy."

Zhu Sheng's gaze was deep as he scanned the surroundings before speaking in a deep voice.

"Are we just going to sit here and wait to die, letting Li Yuanba run rampant?"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers reacted in various ways; some were astonished, some were indignant, and the three brothers, Li Hu, Li Yang, and Li Lu, showed their dissatisfaction and spoke out sternly.

"No, I am not speaking of defeat, but of strategy. As the art of war says: 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.'"

"We must plan before we act in order to remain invincible."

Zhu Sheng shook his head slightly, waved his feather fan gently, and smiled.

"My lord, the situation is urgent. The army of the Great Xuan Dynasty is pressing in. Although our army is in high spirits, we may not be able to fight alone for long."

"Li Yuanba, a general under Li Yuan, is a force to be reckoned with. A hasty attack could lead to unforeseen consequences. As the art of war says, 'The best strategy is to outmaneuver the enemy.' It is better to unite with other forces and devise a plan to resist the enemy."

"Zhang Tianxuan's Qingyi Army in Baizhou is brave and skilled in battle. They have a long-standing friendship with our army. If we can form an alliance with them, we can jointly defend against a major enemy and resolve our predicament."

"I hope my lord will reconsider and prioritize the overall situation."

Zhu Sheng then put away his feather fan, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said in a deep voice.
