Chapter 622: Poisonous Scholar Jia Xu Listed, the World

“Good!”

Everyone in the hall exclaimed with shining eyes.

Although the extraordinary scholars on the Great Han Extraordinary Scholars Ranking were not Jianghu experts, their skills were enough to make any sect or force treat them with respect.

Especially divine physicians like Zhang Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo; even Martial Saints would take the initiative to befriend them.

As martial artists of the Great Han Jianghu, almost no one didn’t know the name of Sai Sai Huatuo.

But many people didn’t know the origin of this name, and only now did they truly understand.

It turned out that the number one divine physician in the Jianghu, Sai Sai Huatuo, was just a loser to Hua Tuo.

Just this one sentence was enough for everyone to imagine how superb Zhang Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo’s medical skills were.

For a time, many people noted these two names in their hearts, waiting to find them after returning.

Medical skills as powerful as Zhang Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo were just a step away from bringing the dead back to life.

At critical moments, this was their life-saving straw.

More people looked toward the White Jade Platform again, filled with eagerness.

Among the six volumes of Heavenly Books, the upper volume of the Human Book recorded medical principles, while the lower volume of the Human Book recorded methods of training troops.

Compared to a famous doctor, an extraordinary scholar proficient in troop training was the talent truly valued by all parties.

Why did the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty shake the world?

It was because the Great Qin had the Golden Fire Cavalry, the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Soldiers, the Iron Eagle Swordsmen, and so on.

Such elites could defeat a hundred on the battlefield; just a few thousand of them could turn the tide of a great battle.

No matter which force obtained the extraordinary scholar who mastered the lower volume of the Human Book, they would become a powerful force that could not be ignored in the future.

……

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen faced the curious gazes of the crowd and, without deliberately keeping them in suspense, said directly:

“Next, I will comment on two extraordinary scholars who obtained the lower volume of the Human Book.”

“Extraordinary Scholars Ranking 8th place: Gao Shun.”

“This person comes from the borderlands of Bingzhou. He joined the army as a youth, and his troop management always prioritized military discipline.”

“After Zhang Zhang Jiao died, the *Taiping Essential Arts* scattered throughout the world. The lower volume of the Human Book was divided into two parts, and one part was obtained by him.”

“Gao Shun studied the troop training secret techniques recorded in the immortal book, selected three thousand infantrymen, and trained them, naming them the ‘Trapping Camp’.”

“This army was formed in three years and was invincible in the border wars, once defeating a twenty-thousand-strong Hu tribe army with only three thousand men.”

“Nowadays, the Trapping Camp still maintains a number of three thousand, but the elites are even better than before; it can be called an invincible infantry branch.”

“But because this troop training method requires secret techniques, the number of troops trained is limited, and it is difficult to reach the scale of ten thousand.”

“As for Gao Shun himself, he originally belonged to the Bingzhou Governor Ding Mongol Yuan’s command. After Ding Mongol Yuan died, he followed Lu Bu to belong to the Grand Tutor Dong Zhuo and was stationed in the capital.”

………………

“Extraordinary Scholars Ranking 7th place: Cao Chun.”

“This person is a descendant of the Cao family of the Great Han gentry. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the whole family served under Cao Cao’s command.”

“After Zhang Zhang Jiao died, the *Taiping Essential Arts* scattered throughout the world. One part of the lower volume of the Human Book was obtained by Gao Shun, and the other part fell into Cao Chun’s hands.”

“Cao Chun used this troop training secret technique to extract three thousand death-row prisoners from prison, and when the training was finally completed, only one thousand remained, naming them the ‘Tiger and Leopard Cavalry’.”

“These Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were all clad in armor, all refined with secret methods, with extremely strong defense, impenetrable by blades, spears, and arrows. They once charged and defeated the thirty-thousand-strong Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.”

“Nowadays, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry still maintains a number of one thousand, and they are invincible in cavalry battles with the same number of troops.”

“But the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Trapping Camp have the same problem: although they are very elite, they are limited by secret techniques and cannot train troops on a large scale, only maintaining a small number of elites.”

“As for Cao Chun himself, he is still serving under the command of Jibei Chancellor Cao Cao.”

As Su Chen’s voice fell, there was another uproar in the hall.

This lower volume of the Human Book was also terrifying.

The upper volume of the Human Book created two peerless divine physicians, Zhang Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, one specializing in internal medicine and one in surgery.

And the lower volume of the Human Book created two troop-training generals, Gao Shun and Cao Chun.

One trained the invincible Trapping Camp for infantry battles, and one trained the invincible Tiger and Leopard Cavalry for cavalry battles.

Just thinking about it made people yearn for it.

And this Human Book was only the weakest of the Heaven, Earth, and Human books.

Thinking this, everyone developed infinite curiosity and looked toward the White Jade Platform, waiting for Su Chen’s subsequent commentary.

……

The sixth private room in the West District.

Prince Fusu said in shock: “Defeating thirty thousand with one thousand? Is there truly such an elite army in the world?”

Ying Zheng also showed a look of interest.

He had always been proud of the strength of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry.

But even the strongest Golden Fire Cavalry of the Great Qin could not defeat thirty thousand troops with only one thousand men.

From this point of view, this one thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could indeed be called the elite of the elite.

Zhang Han, however, was unimpressed and smiled slightly:

“Your Highness Prince Fusu, there is no need to boost others’ morale.”

“The troop training method in the *Taiping Essential Arts* is indeed miraculous, but it can train at most ten thousand or so.”

“My Great Qin’s Golden Fire Cavalry might not be a match with the same number of troops, but just under General Meng’s command, there are more than one hundred thousand Golden Fire Cavalry.”

“Relying on this ten-fold numerical advantage, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is not worth worrying about.”

Prince Fusu thought the same.

Imperial dynasty wars were not child’s play. Even if the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry expanded to ten thousand, they would not become a major climate.

Unless the scale could reach more than one hundred thousand, they would not be qualified to be opponents of the Golden Fire Cavalry.

Thinking this, Prince Fusu was relieved and looked toward the White Jade Platform again.

The Human Book was clearly not the true essence of the *Taiping Essential Arts*.

He really wanted to know what kind of talents the few extraordinary scholars who obtained the Earth Book had.

……

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen sipped fragrant tea, watching the popularity points soar, feeling extremely comfortable.

Until the discussion below gradually stopped, he then continued:

“Next, I will comment on two extraordinary scholars who obtained the upper volume of the Earth Book.”

“Extraordinary Scholars Ranking 6th place: Jia Xu.”

“Jia Xu, courtesy name Wenhe, comes from the Jia clan of Wuwei Commandery. He was wise in his youth and good at judging the situation and the art of self-preservation.”

“But he became obsessed with this path, preferring to be safe for himself rather than burden the world. The schemes he produced were all extremely vicious, and he can be called a peerless poisonous scholar.”

“After Zhang Zhang Jiao died, the *Taiping Essential Arts* scattered throughout the world. The upper volume of the Earth Book was divided into two parts, and one part was obtained by him.”

“Jia Xu only favored the various strange and tricky secret techniques within, all of which he cultivated to perfection. His scheming became deeper and deeper, and his conspiracies were invincible in the current era.”

“Nowadays, he has followed Dong Zhuo into the capital and serves as a staff member under Dong Zhuo.”

“But he never shows his face, so he is rarely known to the world.”

………………

“Extraordinary Scholars Ranking 5th place: Pang Tong.”

“This person comes from the gentry of Jingzhou. Although his appearance is not elegant, he has a lofty heart and the ambition to assist an emperor in achieving hegemony.”

“Like Jia Xu, he was quick-witted in his youth and had unparalleled intelligence. He had the appearance of a phoenix chick, but his way of dealing with the world was completely opposite to Jia Xu’s.”

“Jia Xu was born in a small clan and was well-versed in the art of self-preservation. No matter what method was used to achieve the goal, it was fine; he hid whenever he could.”

“And Pang Tong was born in a large clan and only wanted to make a name for himself in the world. Every scheme he produced was upright and grand, and he was bound to defeat his opponents with a mighty royal army.”

“After Zhang Zhang Jiao died, the *Taiping Essential Arts* scattered throughout the world. One part of the upper volume of the Earth Book was obtained by Jia Xu, and the other part fell into Pang Tong’s hands.”

“Pang Tong studied the immortal book and specialized in the methods of royal and open schemes within it, all of which he practiced diligently; he can be called invincible in open schemes in the current era.”

“But due to various reasons, Pang Tong sought a wise master but was rebuffed everywhere, and he never found a place to entrust his life. He is currently staying under Mongol Yuan Shao in Jizhou.”
