On the edge of a cliff on a mountain in the Ji Valley, a young man lowered his head and looked down at the bottom of the mountain.
This young man was tall and straight, delicate and handsome, and his brows were filled with arrogance, giving people a feeling that their eyes would light up.
His surname was Jiang Wei, and his name was Boyue. He was from Jicheng, Tianshui. Jiang Wei lost his father when he was young and lived with his widowed mother. He liked Zheng Xuan's study of Confucian classics and had a wife named Yin Xiang, who was the sister of Yin Shang, the chief clerk of Tianshui Prefecture. He and his wife were very respectful and had a good relationship. Three years after his wife's death, he did not consider remarrying.
According to Tian Yang's observation, Jiang Wei would never marry another man if no one could enter his heart. He would be a rare good man in his world.
"Eight thousand steps, a thousand horses, no matter how you look at it, this number is really too little."
"Yes... I see."
Just as Jiang Wei was muttering to himself, Tian Yang and Yi Shang climbed up the mountain and came to Jiang Wei's side.
"I was wondering where you guys went. Why did you come so late?”Jiang Wei couldn't help but say when he saw the two of them.
"Please, Big Brother Boyue, I have no problem at all, but you have to think about Brother Yi. Brother Yi's health is not good, how can a civil official like him endure your fast pace?”Tian Yang was speechless.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had some ability, he would have lost Jiang Wei.
As for Hei Guang and the others, Tian Yang had them stay at the foot of the mountain. Li Jun seemed to have discovered something, so after obtaining his consent, Tian Yang had asked him to investigate. Perhaps it was the army of Shu Country.
"I'm also a civil official, why am I not in such a sorry state like you, Brother Yin? I usually ask Brother Yin to train more, but you just don't listen. You're late now.”
Jiang Wei's words were not mocking at all. He only hoped that Yi Shang could train well.
"Let's not talk about this first. You dragged us here without saying a word. What are you planning to do? This place is already within the territory of the Shu people.”
Yi Shang's words were right. At first, Tian Yang thought that they were only at Ji Valley. He didn't expect Jiang Wei to bring them directly into the territory of the Shu people. This was really shocking.
"That's right, big brother Boyue, what exactly happened?”Tian Yang could not help but feel puzzled.
"Brother Tianyang, Brother Yin, look down the mountain.”As he spoke, Jiang Wei pointed down the cliff.
" This is!?"
Looking down the cliff, it was really hard to tell what was going on. When he saw it, he was shocked. The bottom of the cliff was actually filled with troops, and there was even a big flag with the word "Zhao".
"You should understand what's going on now.”Jiang Wei said indifferently.
Tian Yang nodded, indicating that he had understood everything. The flag with the word " Zhao " had already indicated who the leader was. However, looking at the number of people, it should be less than ten thousand. Logically speaking, the army attacking Wei should not be so small. With the national strength of Shu Kingdom, it should not be able to bring out less than ten thousand troops.
This meant that this troop was just a small unit. Its purpose was to attract the attention of the Wei Kingdom. The army that the Shu Kingdom used to attack the Wei Kingdom should be somewhere else, and the leader was undoubtedly Zhuge Liang.
However, just because Tian Yang could figure out the problem, it didn't mean that Yi Shang could.
"I don't understand."
This sentence was enough to show that Yi Shang's military talent was limited. He did not understand what this meant.
"Really, Brother Yin, don't you understand?”Tian Yang patted Yin Shang's shoulder." Looking at the mobilization, it should be clear that the Shu people are preparing to invade Wei.”
"Eh?" Yi Shang was shocked. It seemed like the invasion of Wei by Shu was a very rare thing.
"Do I need to be surprised?" Jiang Wei couldn't help but ask,"I've known about this for months."”
Jiang Wei's words surprised Tian Yang. He didn't expect Jiang Wei to have heard about it a few months ago. It seemed that Jiang Wei was very vigilant in times of peace.
However, Tian Yang's surprise didn't last long. He had evaluated Jiang Wei as both brave and resourceful. However, he was sometimes too reckless, which wasn't perfect. However, no one was perfect.
"Information? I've never even heard of it!"
Yi Shang was at a loss. He didn't even know when Jiang Wei had gone to find out the information.
"'Know yourself and know your enemy.'Emperor Wu (Cao Cao) followed Sun Wu's teachings and was invincible. Usually, I would go around asking the merchants about the movements of the Shu people. Finally, I waited for this day.”
"Alright, alright, alright. I know that gathering information is very important, but so what if the Shu people really send troops? The army seems to be heading towards the Winnowing Basket Valley. At least they won't pose any threat to our Tianshui County.”
Yi Shang's intelligence seemed to have yet to come online. He still did not understand the use of this army.
Tian Yang couldn't help but cover his forehead. Brother Yin was good in everything, but his military skills were too ordinary.
But then again, he had no right to criticize him. He came from a world two thousand years later, so knowledge began from the beginning. From the start, he was already on a different level from them. He had cheated his way here, so he really had no right to criticize her.
"Brother Yin…No matter how you look at it, the number of this army can't be more than ten thousand. Do you understand?”Jiang Wei's patience seemed to be very good as he slowly explained to Yi Shang.
"The Shu people are lacking in military strength and can only send such an army?”
Tian Yang sighed helplessly. No matter how weak the Shu Kingdom was, it couldn't possibly be so weak that they could only send out less than ten thousand soldiers.
Moreover, Western Shu was a land of abundance. It had sufficient resources to raise 100,000 elite soldiers. Three years ago, Zhuge Liang had conquered the southern barbarians and had obtained a strong force. After three years of preparation, the national strength of Shu should have reached a certain level. It was impossible for it to become weaker.
"Brother Yi, look at that 'Zhao' flag.”Tian Yang pointed at the flag at the bottom of the cliff and said.
"Zhao?" Yi Shang seemed to have thought of something, and he was startled." Could it be that Zhao Yun who fought his way through the Imperial Emperor's army in Dangyang of the Jing State?!"？”
"That's right." This time, it was Jiang Wei who spoke." This Zhao Yun is indeed one of the most famous generals among the Shu people. His reputation is even known to you and me in Tianshui.”
"Ah, I understand! This was just a Shu team!”
Finally, under the joint 'guidance' of Tian Yang and Jiang Wei, Yi Shang's intelligence finally came online. He immediately understood the role of this army.
"That's right. Zhuge Liang used Zhao Yun to attract the main forces of Great Wei, but in reality, he was planning to attack from a different direction.”Jiang Wei said indifferently.
"But if that's the case, where will the main force go?”Yi Shang asked,
"Leave Qishan and attack Longxi directly!"
"What?!" Yi Shang was shocked by Tian Yang's words." Why Longxi?”
" It's very simple. In the past ten years, there have been countless rebellions in Longxi. Among the territories of Great Wei, Longxi is the weakest. If Zhuge Liang leaves Qishan and takes down the three counties of Longxi, with Zhuge Liang's ability, he can make Longxi completely belong to Shu Han in the fastest speed possible.”
"Furthermore, there are still many prefectures and counties within Longxi that have yet to be appointed as prefects. As long as we take down the three prefectures of Longxi, the entire Longxi will basically be taken over by Shu Han.”Tian Yang said with certainty.
"That's right, what brother Tianyang said is exactly what I was thinking.”Jiang Wei nodded and said.
"According to what Tianyang and Boyue said, shouldn't our Heavenly Water City be in a critical situation?”Yi Shang became excited. At this moment, Tian Yang was a little embarrassed. What do you mean by our Tian Shui? This Tian Shui has nothing to do with me. Moreover, before this, I was planning to give Tian Shui to Zhuge Liang.
"Yes... The enemy's target is definitely our three Longxi counties.”Jiang Wei didn't notice the change in Tian Yang's expression and continued to speak.
"Then Boyue, why are you still in the mood to peep at me?”
"Zhuge Liang's army will only take action after Zhao Yun's team has officially entered Ji Valley. Otherwise, if our main force isn't attracted by Zhao Yun, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?”As Jiang Wei speculated, a dangerous expression appeared on his face, causing Tian Yang and Yi Shang to feel uncomfortable.
"Then Big Brother Boyue, do you already have a plan?”
Judging from Jiang Wei's expression, he must have already formed his own thoughts. Moreover, Tian Yang felt a little uncertain when he saw Jiang Wei's expression. Every time Jiang Wei revealed this expression, it meant that Jiang Wei had some dangerous and crazy thoughts.
"You know me well, brother." Jiang Wei nodded." I was just thinking that if I don't experience it myself, how would I know the abilities of the Shu people? Were the Shu people as brave and good at fighting as the rumors said?”
"Boyue, are you crazy? Including Hei Guang and the others, we only have eleven people. Challenging those tens of thousands of soldiers is simply courting death!”
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to have an easy hunt. With fewer people, we can move freely.”
After saying that, Jiang Wei walked down the mountain. At the same time, he shouted at Tian Yang and the others," Brother Yin, Brother Tian Yang, come over quickly! I still need your help!”
Watching Jiang Wei leave, Yi Shang was at a loss for words.
"What's wrong? Brother Yin?" Tian Yang walked to Yi Shang's side and patted his shoulder as he asked.
"Sigh, in the eyes of outsiders, Boyue is a brave and adventurous person, but I always think that he is risking his life. It has been three years since my sister's death, and Boyue might not have come out of it. I'm a little worried that my sister doesn't want Boyue to be like this.”Yi Shang sighed.
"Don't worry. If Brother Boyue didn't risk his life like this, he wouldn't be Jiang Boyue. As for Sister-in-law's death, I think Brother Boyue will get over it after a long time.”Tian Yang comforted.
"I hope so." Sighing, Yi Shang followed Tian Yang down the mountain.
As for Tian Yang, he turned around and looked at the flag with the word "Zhao". His eyes flickered with a faint light as if he was thinking about something.
