"Oh, Fengxiao, tell me about it?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately became interested and wanted to see what Guo Jia's insights were, hoping to gather ideas from everyone.
Guo Jia was known as a genius, and naturally possessed extraordinary talent, so his opinions were still very important.
Nodding, Guo Jia explained, "The combat strength of the many legions of Great Liang has already been proven, and their strength is enough to suppress the current enemy."
Forcibly changing them would only destroy their original combat characteristics, which would be a complete loss.
Your Majesty believes that we can rebuild an army specifically for the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram, while the other legions only need to form a dedicated squad; there is no need to involve them further!
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement; Guo Jia's words made a lot of sense.
A professional legion needs a long period of honing its skills before it can fully unleash its advantages.
The strength of the Great Liang legions today is absolutely earned through fierce battles. Their ability to defeat one enemy after another proves that their path is correct.
Regardless of how much combat power would be improved by forcibly incorporating the concept of the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram, it would definitely throw these legions into chaos for a while.
After all, the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram places strict requirements on the soldiers' execution ability and the coordination between different troop types; it's not something you can learn just by looking at a diagram.
Therefore, doing this is tantamount to destroying our own Great Wall, which is completely unnecessary.
As Guo Jia said, instead of reorganizing several established legions, it would be better to start from scratch and create a dedicated army based on the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram.
oh?
Upon hearing Guo Jia's words, a strange glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. This Guo Jia, the Ghostly Genius; he had even managed to create a special operations team.
To be honest, he never intended to completely transform these legions, after all, the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram is not invincible.
If it were truly invincible, it wouldn't have been able to consistently fail to defeat Cao Wei, instead being suppressed at every turn. While this was partly due to their insufficient military strength, it also demonstrates that the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram was far from a myth.
However, its great reputation is not undeserved; it certainly has the ability to increase its offensive and defensive capabilities several times over. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would not have been able to withstand Cao Wei for so long with Shu Han in such a state.
Although the Great Liang is strong, if it can absorb the essence of the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram, it will surely reach a higher level.
He smiled and nodded, praising, " Fengxiao is right. I'll leave this matter to you to study. Also, share your insights with the major legions."
The Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram is effective in both offense and defense; learning more variations is never a bad thing. As for this Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram army...
His gaze swept over the crowd as he selected a candidate, and he fell into deep thought.
As Guo Jia said, disrupting the existing army would inevitably have a temporary impact on its combat effectiveness, so the only solution would be to rebuild a new one.
"Got it!"
A thought suddenly occurred to him: his father, the current retired emperor Lin Rusong.
The old man had always longed for the battlefield, but he suppressed his inner desires to avoid causing himself trouble.
His subordinates, too, have mostly been sidelined; it's time to give them a chance.
After the destruction of Zhennan, Great Liang will immediately launch its western campaign, and its military strength will likely reach an alarming number.
Many legions will also be involved, which requires a person of sufficient authority to oversee them; otherwise, Ban Chao might not be able to control this group of arrogant and fierce soldiers.
Although Ban Chao is incredibly strong, he doesn't have much seniority in Great Liang, and it will take time for him to gain people's trust.
Therefore, a person of considerable influence is needed to take charge.
The most influential person today is undoubtedly the retired emperor, after all, he is the emperor's father, and who in the All Under Heaven carries more weight than him?
With the old man around, it's enough to suppress these arrogant and unruly soldiers.
This is also a good opportunity to give the old man's meritorious subordinates a way out, so that they won't fall too far behind other legions in the future.
Incidentally, it can also strengthen the Northern Liang system and enhance the foundation of the Great Liang.
After all, the number of people in the system is limited, but the number of ordinary people is infinite, and he cannot possibly separate himself from these people in the future.
The only problem is the old man's health!
If all else fails, I can personally lead the army and show the West what a true Eastern warrior is.
But let's ask the old man first!
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhao Gao and instructed, " Zhao Gao, go and invite the Emperor Emeritus, and also summon Old Master Bai, the Grand Tutor, and Xu Zhong!"
"Did the Emperor summon us?"
Xu Zhong was drinking alone in silence, was stunned when he saw Zhao Gao arrive. He then jumped up and looked at Zhao Gao in disbelief.
What's going on? Has the Emperor finally forgiven himself for his past ignorance?
He disregarded his colleagues beside him and excitedly asked Zhao Gao, "Eunuch Zhao, what does His Majesty want with me? Is he going to reinstate me?"
Oh!
Zhao Gao looked at the excited Xu Zhong, a slight ripple appearing on his cold face, and sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, the Emperor has good news for you this time, General."
However, General, you must cherish this opportunity. These days, the military prowess of Great Liang is rampant; not everyone gets a second chance.
He had heard about what Xu Zhong had done back then. The young man was somewhat blind and failed to see the emperor's power, which was why the emperor disliked him.
Now that the Emperor has summoned him, it is clear that he is giving him a chance, which can be considered an extraordinary act of mercy from the Emperor.
If you still don't know how to cherish something, then you're worse than a dog.
"Thank you for the reminder, Father-in-law!"
Xu Zhong was overjoyed upon hearing this; the Emperor was ultimately magnanimous. Just as Zhao Gao had said, he had to cherish this opportunity.
There are so many talented military generals in Great Liang now that he feels somewhat inferior.
He was once the fiercest general of Northern Liang, but now, under the emperor's command, he is not even as good as Lü Qiling in the harem, which has completely broken his spirit.
Having been idle for so many days, he had become somewhat self-destructive, becoming the third frequent visitor to the fireworks lady after Guo Jia and Xu Chu.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity has finally arrived.
He was overjoyed and turned to his brothers, laughing loudly, "Brothers, our chance has finally come! The Emperor still remembers us!"
"Long live the Emperor!!!" A military officer couldn't help but burst into tears as he cheered towards the palace.
"Great! The Emperor still remembers us. It's finally our turn."
"I thought I'd never have a chance in this lifetime, after all, His Majesty has so many talented people under his command. I never expected that His Majesty would still cherish the past."
These were all young and middle-aged men in the Northern Liang Army system, and compared to the veteran generals, they were still full of ambition.
They thought they would never be able to turn things around, but they never expected that the emperor would still remember them.
Waaaaah!
A group of grown men burst into tears. Finally, the dark clouds had parted and the bright moon was shining through. Our Northern Liang faction finally had a chance to rise again.
Xu Zhong took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Brothers, I'm going to see the Emperor now!"
