Chapter 1020

As Su Chen's voice fell, everyone exclaimed.

Jia Xu!

Pang Tong!

These two are clearly strategists who are good at calculating; they seem to have no power to truss a chicken, but they can throw the world into chaos with a single word.

Especially for the princes who intend to contend for the world, these top strategists are even more rare.

And these Jia Xu and Pang Tong also each excel in their own field.

One specializes in conspiracies, the other in open schemes; it can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

For a time, the envoys sent by those princes were all busy, writing down information about Pang Tong and Jia Xu on their letters.

South District, 10th Private Room.

A middle-aged man with long ears and broad shoulders showed a sharp light in his eyes and exclaimed: "I have long heard that Jingxiang has many famous scholars; the rumors are indeed true."

"Jia Xu only makes conspiracies, which is not the act of a gentleman; but that Pang Tong, if he could assist my brother, great things can be expected."

A red-faced man said in a deep voice.

"Who cares about Pang Tong or Jia Xu; as long as they can join, it's a good thing; military advisors seem useless, but you really can't do without them."

Another man with a bushy beard said in a muffled voice.

These three are the Liu, Guan, and Zhang brothers who came from the Great Han from thousands of miles away.

Liu Bei nodded in agreement after hearing Zhang Fei's words.

He had been in the army since the Yellow Turban Uprising and had been in the army for several years, with countless military exploits, but he had no place to stand.

The fundamental reason was that there was no capable military advisor under his command to make plans for him.

As for generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both had the courage of ten thousand men and never feared charging on the battlefield.

But contending for the world is not just about fighting and killing.

Sometimes a word of advice from a military advisor is better than dozens of great victories.

Therefore, upon learning that this discussion meeting would announce the Great Han Oddity Ranking, Liu Bei specially brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei here.

Although he is a bit down and out now, he is sure that as long as he gets a top military advisor, he can take off directly.

"Jia Xu is in the capital under Dong Zhuo and specializes in conspiracies, so he is not the first choice."

"But Pang Tong is now in Jizhou; I can try to contact him."

"I just don't know if he will look down on me?"

Liu Bei muttered to himself.

Zhang Fei said loudly and heroically: "Brother, don't worry; if that Pang Tong dares to look down on you, I will personally go and tie him up!"

Liu Bei shook his head helplessly; without a military advisor, it's like this, doing everything with brute force.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said steadily: "Brother, don't be anxious; there are still four people on the Oddity Ranking who haven't been announced; there might be even more powerful military advisors later."

Liu Bei nodded and looked towards the Bai Yu Platform.

He had the heart to contend for the world, so naturally, he wanted the strongest military advisor.

Although Pang Tong is known as invincible in open schemes, he only ranks fifth on the Oddity Ranking; there will surely be stronger people later.

On the Bai Yu Platform.

Su Chen lightly shook his folding fan, listening to the urging of the crowd below, and couldn't help but smile slightly, saying loudly:

"Next, let's comment on two oddities who obtained the lower volume of the Earth Book."

"Fourth place on the Oddity Ranking, Zhou Yu."

"Zhou Yu, courtesy name Gongjin, comes from a wealthy family in Lujiang; his appearance is heroic, his temperament is broad, and he is not only excellent in talent but also proficient in music."

"He has had great ambitions since he was young, is proficient in both civil and military arts, can supervise the battle in one area, and can also settle the world with plans."

"After Zhang Jiao died, the 'Taiping Essentials' were scattered throughout the world; the lower volume of the Earth Book was divided into two parts, and one part was obtained by him."

"Previously, I said that the lower volume of the Earth Book records the art of controlling mountains and rivers, can control the terrain, form an array with one thought, and is miraculously wonderful."

"And the fragment of the lower volume of the Earth Book obtained by Zhou Yu records the various ways of river changes."

"Zhou Yu refined the various secret arts in it, and his mastery of water power has reached the state of mastery; supervising the navy, he is invincible."

"Because Zhou Yu has always been on good terms with Sun Ce, the son of Changsha Chancellor Sun Jian, he is now serving under Sun Jian, participating in military affairs."

"Third place on the Oddity Ranking, Guo Jia."

"This person comes from a poor family in Yingchuan, was famous as a youth, was proficient in the Five Classics, and was apprenticed to the Yingchuan Academy, making many friends."
