If Zhang Mingxuan was still surprised at Darius' ability and sincerely admired Darius as a person a moment ago, now he has already worshiped Darius.

What an excellent general his ancestor was? But Darius said that he and Zhang Wenyuan were old rivals. What does this mean?

First of all, Darius was resurrected by Emperor Sima Yi and given the power to build an army and recruit troops. He was a general with extremely high autonomy. There is no doubt that Darius was once a very trusted confidant of Emperor Sima Yi.

, Otherwise, he will not be entrusted with important tasks, let alone be resurrected.

So, since Darius and Zhang Wenyuan are old rivals, are they "competing for favor"? Both men are generals, so the basis for competing for favor will naturally not be personal beauty, but actual military merit.

According to records in classics, Zhang Wenyuan was the most valiant general under Emperor Sima Yi. The Jin State was able to unify the Shurima continent, and Zhang Wenyuan was responsible for at least three successes.

Even if this record is suspected of being exaggerated, there is no doubt that Zhang Wenyuan was Emperor Sima Yi's capable general and the commander-in-chief of Emperor Sima Yi's army.

Although Darius has not appeared in the classics, considering that he and Zhang Wenyuan were once competitors, even if Darius' ability is not as good as Zhang Wenyuan, it will not be too different.

There is another problem. Emperor Sima Yi resurrected Darius, not Zhang Wenyuan, which in disguise shows that Darius' ability is actually stronger than his ancestors, and he will always come to Darius to "trouble"

"After seeing Darius' ability, he might not be convinced.

"How can I be compared with my ancestors? General, please stop making fun of me."

Zhang Mingxuan thought that the problem Darius mentioned was that his ability as a general was not very good. Naturally, this was incomparable with his ancestors. Putting aside the problem of talent, the experience between the two

The battle can create a huge gap between the two.

No matter how much you learn about military abilities, if they cannot be put into practical use on the battlefield, they will not be your own in the end.

Zhang Mingxuan was embarrassed to tell others that he, a descendant of Zhang Wenyuan and the head of the Zhang family, had only led soldiers for more than ten years and had not actually participated in any war, not even the siege of the imperial capital arranged by Zuoqiu Butcher.

He did not participate.

Because he could not participate, other noble families were putting pressure on their family. Their family tried their best, but they just made a request to leave the royal bloodline, that is, to allow Sivir to leave. In exchange, Zhang

The royal guards managed by the family cannot hinder the plans of the nobles of the family.

It was originally an easy battle, and the bandits could have been cleared out in just a few rounds. However, with the acquiescence of the noble families and the indulgence of the generals, the bandits caused irreparable damage.

And this is exactly the reason the noble family needs. The people rebel, and the Emperor of Jin should abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne.

"We can't compare him now. In the future, we may be able to compare him, but you can't surpass him."

Of course what Darius is talking about is not a military problem. Galen is from a noble family and he is from a civilian family, but their personalities are actually quite compatible. Both of them will choose to protect the weak.

, however, Galen provides protection for the weak, and Darius provides a weapon for the weak to protect themselves.

He did not see in Galen the common problems of some nobles. He is not the kind of noble who does one thing in front of you and does the other back, nor does he have the habit of not stabbing you in the back, but just collecting your body when you die to be a good ally.

Most of the glory and justice advocated by Demacia are reflected in Galen.

As for Zhang Mingxuan, this person looks more like a politician than a general.

It is not difficult for Darius to imagine what choices Zhang Mingxuan and Galen would make when facing a group of refugees.

The most Zhang Mingxuan can do is not kill those refugees. He can be kind and help the refugees, but he will not let the refugees enter the city and affect the city's security and stability. He is a politician, and his first priority is the city and the people where he lives.

And Galen will accept all those refugees without hesitation, regardless of whether there are enemy spies among these refugees. In short, he will protect these refugees like he protects his own relatives and friends.

"...General Liao Zan, I don't have that kind of ability."

Zhang Mingxuan was stunned. He thought Darius was joking. As a general who had never participated in the war seriously, what qualifications did he have to compare with his ancestors?

"This is just for now, you will understand later."

Darius did not make his words too clear. Balliard replaced Sima Yi, but people like Darius did not replace Sima Yi's generals.

The original situation in this world line was that Sima Yi would be resurrected together with his generals. Now that "Sima Yi" is alive, his generals will be resurrected in another form sooner or later.

"...I won't disturb the general's training...Thank you, general, for your consideration."

Zhang Mingxuan doesn't want to stay any longer. Darius values ​​him so much. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't accept it. He knows how much he weighs. People who have never participated in the war can actually face the war.

Whether they can use what they have learned is a very serious question.

When Zhang Mingxuan was training, he commanded the soldiers under his command very smoothly. However, on the battlefield, Zhang Mingxuan's commanding ability may not be reliable.

He has never encountered a situation where friendly forces were rolled back, he has never encountered a situation where his own general's flag was cut down, and he avoided a powerful enemy general, nor has he ever encountered a situation where the enemy's commanding boss commanded his soldiers to trap him to death.

.

In the first two situations, he can still make some guesses and come up with some plans. Whether they will actually be used or not is another matter. In short, he probably knows what he can do.

But in the latter case, had it not been clearly recorded in the classics that Emperor Sima Yi had indeed used this method when he led the army, he would not have believed that anyone could do it.

They were obviously my soldiers and were receiving my command. However, they were unknowingly commanded by the enemy's general. They used their own ordinary soldiers to block the elite soldiers behind them. This is clearly stated in the art of war.

, it takes ten to one to encircle and annihilate. If someone forcefully gives you a one to one encirclement and annihilation, what can you do?

Zhang Mingxuan may have talent, he himself

He also knows that he has talent, but he has never actually controlled an army, never commanded an army of tens of thousands, or even an army of 100,000 to attack the enemy. How can he compare with Zhang Wenyuan?

He felt that since then, he had participated in every battle that the Xinjin Kingdom had to pacify the Shurima continent, and it took more than ten years for the Xinjin Kingdom to unify the Shurima continent, so he could probably be compared with Zhang Wenyuan.

But the actual situation did not allow him to do this. Although he was nominally expelled from the Zhang family, who didn't actually know that it was for Zuoqiu Butcher?

He is now regarded as an important information channel for the nobles of the aristocratic families to understand the new country. He needs to spread some information that is beneficial to the new country, so that the nobles of the noble families feel that the new country is reliable and plan to join or support the new country.

The current era is different from that of 1,800 years ago. 1,800 years ago, slavery was basically still in this land. The so-called aristocrats were actually a group of slave owners, and they themselves did not have much culture and knowledge.

.

Nowadays, which aristocratic family does not have a collection of thousands of books? Some aristocratic families are engaged in business, some aristocratic families are devoted to politics, some aristocratic families are engaged in research, and some aristocratic families are playing politics openly but secretly.

I already have the idea of ​​taking the path of military honors.

You can win over business families, but it is difficult to get them to join you. In order to make their family's business good, these business families are likely to invest in multiple sources, saying that I have paid protection fees, so don't hit me.

The aristocratic families involved in politics sound high-ranking and must be treated with caution, but in fact, these aristocratic families are just a bunch of outsiders. They will support whichever side has the possibility of pacifying the world. If there is any

Several parties may be able to pacify the world. Well, let's separate our families and support those parties together.

It is not easy to win over this kind of aristocratic family now, and it is impossible for them to completely defect to the new country.

Those who do research are Zhang Mingxuan's goal. These families don't care who becomes the emperor or who unifies the world. They just want to do research on their own. Although these researches are likely to cause trouble, no one can say anything if they enjoy it.

.

Zhang Mingxuan needs to show these aristocratic families the strength of the new country, a good research environment, and properly reveal some of the "lost technologies" held by the new country. The entire family of those aristocratic families may have moved here, and those

But they are all talented people who do practical things.

This kind of thing is very troublesome, but there is no way. Except for him, no one else in the current Xinjin Kingdom can do this kind of thing.

Although he was very surprised by the abilities of the people that Balliard found and even considered himself inferior, those people had nothing to do with the noble families on the Shurima continent. He wanted them to contact the noble families and let them

The nobles of the aristocratic families know the capabilities of the new country. Isn't that just wishful thinking?

This is like asking a group of people who have not yet finished learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to study advanced algebra. Even if there is a possibility of success, what about time? Zhang Mingxuan thinks that after these people have stable contact channels with the noble families on the Shurima continent

, the new Jin Kingdom had already brought peace to the world.
