"General, you must not. If someone were to guard Chencang, just a few thousand soldiers would be enough to make our army unable to move.”
At this moment, Wei Yan stood up and stopped him.
"Could it be that Wen Chang doesn't know Liang's intentions? Zhuge Liang did not know that Cao Zhen had sent people to guard Chencang.”Zhuge Liang said calmly.
"Then why does General insist on sending troops to Chencang?”Wei Yan was confused.
"Wei Yan! Do you want the Prime Minister to use your Ziwu Valley strategy to satisfy you?”Yang Yi sneered.
"The plan of the Meridian Valley is already in the past. But what was the purpose of sending troops to Chencang when Cao Zhen was on guard?”Wei Yan didn't get angry, but replied calmly.
"But what is the purpose of sending troops to Chencang when Cao Zhen is on guard?”
As he spoke, Wei Yan looked at Zhuge Liang with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Firstly, Chencang only has a thousand soldiers. With our superior forces, we can take it. Secondly, even if they were attacked, they would be able to retreat. Third, it can make Cao Cao's rebel army dispatch exhausted. If we send troops to Chencang, the east will be empty, and Wu will be able to take advantage of the void to enter.”Zhuge Liang said lightly.
" That being said, there's one thing I'm a little concerned about. Why is the number of troops in the northern expedition this time…"
Jiang Wan asked in confusion. At this moment, Zhao Yun's body swayed a little before she fell straight down.
"Zilong!" Instantly, Zhuge Liang was shocked. Seeing his general fall like this, he couldn't help but panic.
Zhao Yun fell ill before the expedition. Zhuge Liang ordered him to stay in Hanzhong to recuperate and not go out with the army. Although losing Zhao Yun did not affect the dispatch of troops, it had cast a shadow over this expedition. After that, Zhuge Liang's army was stopped by Hao Zhao in Chencang (Fufeng). They continued to attack the city for more than 20 days without any effect. Finally, reinforcements from Wei arrived.
Shu Han Army Camp
"This Hao Zhao is really a powerful character. He lit up the scaling ladder and the charging chariot to attack the city. Hao Zhao used the ignited arrow to burn the scaling ladder and the stone mill to crush the charging chariot. Liang used a hundred-foot well to shoot arrows into the city, and in addition to filling the moat, he planned to directly attack the city, but this Hao Zhao built a wall inside to resist. After Liang dug a tunnel to enter the city, Hao Zhao was able to effectively block the tunnel. This dragged on for more than twenty days, and Liang was really at his wit's end.”Zhuge Liang was extremely helpless now. He had not expected Hao Zhao to be so difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Tian Yang also had a difficult expression on his face. He thought to himself,'Indeed, I really didn't expect such a powerful character. This Hao Zhao's defensive ability even made Hei Guang and the others say that they couldn't take advantage of him. He had heard from Big Brother Boyue that he had met Hao Zhao once when he was suppressing Qu Ying's rebellion. However, from his expression, it seemed like he didn't know that Hao Zhao was such a powerful person.”
"Right now, Fei Yao's reinforcements have arrived. If we continue to drag this out, it will be disadvantageous for us.”
Wu Yi also stood up and said.
"What Zi Yuan said makes sense. We have already exhausted too many troops here. Even if they could defeat Fei Yao, they had no chance of winning against Cao Zhen's team.”Zhuge Liang nodded. He felt bitter in his heart and a trace of unwillingness appeared on his face. He thought to himself," It seems that the Northern Expedition will end here. Although I had expected Cao Zhen to see through and send troops to Chencang, I didn't expect Hao Zhao to stop it alone." However, Cao Zhen, if you really think that this is the end, you are gravely mistaken.”
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Yan and said," Hmm…I'll leave the task of bringing up the rear to Chief Wen. Is that okay?”
"Wei Yan will do his best to stop the pursuit of the rebel soldiers!”Wei Yan immediately replied.
"The rebel army is coming at us menacingly, Wen Chang needs to be careful.”Zhuge Liang instructed carefully.
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing Wei Yan's next task of covering the rear, Yang Yi sneered in his heart," Go to hell. I hope that the enemy general Wang Shuang can smash your head with the Meteor Hammer.”
At this moment, Tian Yang immediately stood up and requested," How about we let Tian Yang assist in this mission, Prime Minister?"”
Tian Yang had his own considerations when he chose to help. Although the Chang Bai Army's strength had been recognized by some people, their status had not reached a certain level. In order to continuously raise the Chang Bai Army's status in the Shu army, Tian Yang could only continue to accumulate battle achievements.
"Oh…it's even better to have Tianyang's help. Liang is more than happy to have it!”As he spoke, Zhuge Liang took out a strange-shaped brocade pouch and handed it to Tian Yang." There is a brocade pouch here. Open it after the retreat. There will be further instructions inside."”
"Yes, sir!" Tian Yang resisted the urge to complain and took the brocade bag. At the same time, he thought to himself,'It seems that the Prime Minister's craftsmanship is not very good. Speaking of which, I remember that the Prime Minister's wife is very clever. Why is the Prime Minister's craftsmanship so ordinary?'”
Yang Yi, on the other hand, looked at Tian Yang with a gloomy expression and thought to herself,'What tricks is this Tian Yang playing? Why would he invite himself to take on such a thankless job?' Could it be that he supported Wei Yan? If that's the case, you're in trouble.”
Chang Bai Army Camp
"I'm truly sorry for making General Wei come to this shabby tent.”Tian Yang said apologetically.
"Don't mind this. Wei Yan is actually very grateful that Tianyang sent troops to help. It's just that the troops are dangerous, and my troops are already used to bringing up the rear, so please retreat when the battle starts.”Wei Yan smiled faintly.
"General Wei, you are wrong. Why did Tianyang send troops to help? We can't just retreat, we have to expand the results of the battle.”At this moment, Ning Sui, who was standing at the side, suddenly spoke.
"And this is?" Wei Yan looked at Ning Sui and frowned. He felt a sense of familiarity from Ning Sui, as if the person standing in front of him was not Ning Sui but Ma Su.
"I am Ning Sui, and I am now the advisor of the Chang Bai Army.”Ning Sui said indifferently.
Hearing the other party's words, Wei Yan frowned slightly and thought, No matter how I look at it, it looks like Youchang. Could it be that Youchang is not dead? Forget it, there was no point in pursuing the matter.”
Thinking of this, Wei Yan shook his head and didn't want to think about it anymore.
"But Tianyang's intentions are indeed as Mister Ning said. Retreating was not enough. If they could take this opportunity to deal a blow to the enemy, the northern expedition would not be fruitless.”Heavenly Sun Mouth. He said with his horn slightly raised.
"Hahahahaha…I like this proposal. If we chop off Wang Shuang's head, Yang Yi will be shocked.”Wei Yan laughed.
Not everyone present liked Wei Yan very much. Although Tianyang's group was very friendly to Wei Yan, the elders of the Chang Bai Army, Ju Fu and Liu Yin, did not like Wei Yan because they had a grudge against him.
"We will always remember the courtesy General Wei gave us in Tianshui.”Goufu snorted coldly.
"Last time, you chased us back, and now you want to cooperate with us. General Wei is really fickle.”Liu Yin was also very unhappy.
"What's going on?" Tian Yang was not clear about the grudge between them and could not help but feel puzzled.
"This is just a small grudge I had with General Gou and General Liu in the past. It's nothing.”Wei Yan waved his hand and said.
"The enemy is right in front of us. If you have any grudges, let's talk about them after the battle.”Tian Yang advised.
"I think we can fight." Black Light, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke," Use the enemy's impetuous mentality to ambush them and then give them a fatal blow. If we can have a better plan, it won't be a problem to defeat the enemy.”
"Hei Guang is right. This is a good opportunity.”Yang Lan echoed Hei Guang's words.
"If our Chang Bai Army is satisfied with our current position, then there is no need to take the risk. However, if you want to enter the core of our army, you have to take risks to achieve success. We can only show our value by doing what others can't.”
Ning Sui slowly analyzed the situation of the Chang Bai Army and made a suggestion that moved Gou Fu and Liu Yin.
"Yes…we've been bullied for a long time.”Liu Yin couldn't help but nod.
"If we don't make any contributions, I'm afraid that the people of Yizhou will look down on us.”Ju Fu also agreed.
"It's decided. We'll listen to General Wei's orders.”Tian Yang decided.
"Although I have a good plan, I think Tianyang should have a better one.”
As he spoke, Wei Yan looked at Tian Yang. He was testing Tian Yang. He wanted to see how Tian Yang's military strategy was.
"This one does have an idea. The matter of Zhou Fang defeating Cao Xiu gave me an inspiration. I'll have to ask big brother Boyue for help on this matter.”As he spoke, Tian Yang looked at Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment before he understood the details of Tianyang's plan.
Dongfang Fengfu, Hei Guang, and Ning Sui also understood.
"I have a rough idea of the general's plan, but the basis of this plan's success is the opposite of Zhou Fang's. We want to take advantage of the enemy's distrust.”Ning Sui couldn't help but praise. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Tianyang's growth in military strategy was truly terrifying. The Prime Minister's judgment of people was truly vicious.
"This plan can only succeed if Boyue carries it out.”Dongfang Fengfu nodded.
"However, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Hong En.”Black Light then looked at the confused Horne.
"Indeed, if Hong En's mo…immortal technique helped, I think this plan would be even more perfect.”
Tian Yang nodded and said.
" Speaking of which..." Suddenly, Yang Lan looked at Hei Guang and said in a low voice," Our contract is still long. If you receive a reward, my reward will be better.”
Hei Guang sneered and said," Yang Lan, did you really join us for the reward? I don't believe you."
"What else? Could it be because of you? " Hahahahaha…" When Yang Lan heard Hei Guang's words, she burst out laughing. However, the guilt in her laughter was even stronger.
Hei Guang merely glanced at Yang Lan and did not say anything.
Just as Tian Yang had thought, Black Light was not someone whose IQ and EQ were completely in inverse proportion. On the contrary, Black Light's IQ and EQ were not low. He knew why Yang Lan was following him like this. Although he did not hate Yang Lan, it did not mean that he would like her. Moreover, as a member of the Executor team, as a subspecies follower who had already signed a contract with the Suppression Force, he could not fall in love with someone casually. This was really dangerous.
Moreover, she would have to leave this world one day. No matter how much he liked someone, this relationship would only end in vain. It was really not worth it.
