Zhang Fei stared and said, "Didn't you say that as long as we take Fushui Pass and Jiameng Pass, we would have won half the battle? Why are you lying to me now? "
Zhuge Liang said, "My original plan was to take the two passes that were still intact. This way, we would only need to send a few thousand elite soldiers to defend the pass and block the Yuan reinforcements from Hanzhong out of Yizhou. Who would have thought that Yuan Xi would actually be so decisive, demolishing and burning down these two passes! "
Huang Yueying frowned and said, "Normally, a commander would defend the pass to the death. After all, there are mountains and rivers."
Zhuge Liang said, "Although the pass is dangerous, we have the mechanical beasts that you made. Breaking the gate is not difficult. Helplessly, Yuan Xi seemed to have a good understanding of our army, so he decided to tear down the pass and split up. From this, we can see that Yuan Xi was not lucky to have such a big name in the Central Plains. "
Zhang Fei said, "Both sides don't want these two passes. It's not impossible to have a showdown in Xichuan!"
Zhuge Liang shook his head.
Huang Yueying said, "General Zhang, you don't know. Losing these two passes is extremely disadvantageous for us. Because we only have half of Jingzhou as our foundation, these ten thousand soldiers are our last military strength. On the other hand, Yuan's reinforcements will continuously come from Hanzhong to Xichuan. "
Zhuge Liang said, "Including Yongzhou, there are fourteen prefectures in the world. Yuan Xi already has eleven. Our army has half a prefecture's strength to contend with Yuan for Xichuan. If we can't defend the pass … the situation will be dangerous. "
Huang Yueying saw Zhuge Liang frowning and said,
"Husband, don't be discouraged. Sun Ce and Liu are secretly working together. Sun Ce's troops have left Hefei and half of Yuan's forces are in the Central Plains. Currently, Yuan's forces in Yizhou are less than fifty thousand. Our army is not at a disadvantage! Yuan Xi doesn't have any heirs and the time he took over Bingzhou is short. The people's hearts are not loyal yet. As long as we can defeat Yuan Xi and capture him before the reinforcements from Hanzhong arrive, the power of the world will be unknown! "
Zhang Fei said, "Advisor, we should go to Luocheng to save big brother. Otherwise, he will fall into Yuan Xi's trap."
Zhuge Liang said, "Luocheng has Xu Yuanzhi's counsel, defending the city will not be a problem. We don't need to worry. Furthermore, based on the time that had passed, the reinforcements of the Yuan army should be arriving soon. Even though these two passes have been burned down, they're still a natural barrier. Why don't we set up an ambush here and destroy the Yuan Clan's reinforcements first, and then we'll head to Luo City after we've temporarily eliminated our worries. "
Immediately, Zhuge Liang led his troops to set up an ambush behind the mountain ridges on both sides of the ruins of Fushui Pass.
Huang Yueying released a wooden bird mechanical beast to scout the enemy's situation. Zhuge Liang ordered Zhang Fei to lie in ambush while he himself stood in the middle of the army with his sword.
Zhang Fei asked curiously, "Military Advisor, what are you doing?"
Zhuge Liang did not have time to pay attention to him, so it was Huang Yueying who explained, "Our army's attack on the two passes was originally very secretive, but Yuan Xi's reaction was too fast. Husband believes that Yuan Xi's Deep Channel Technique must have a way to spy on our army's real and false movements. Therefore, he used the Praying Puppet Technique to deceive the Heavenly Mystery, so that Yuan Xi has no way to spy on us. "
Zhang Fei's eyes widened as he looked at Zhuge Liang who had disheveled hair.
Outside of Luocheng, Yuan Army Camp.
Bai Xiaowen was in the tent, reading the Taiping Sutra with the Internal Vision Technique. Ge Xuan was sitting quietly beside him.
Suddenly, someone reported, "Milord, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Ma Chao, and Han Meng, the four generals, have followed Milord's orders and burned the mountains and farmlands on the east bank of Fushui Pass. They have chased away the people and are here to report the order."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Good. This way, Liu Bei will have to worry about the city and will not be able to defend it for long. As the saying goes, when he is poor, he will think of changes. When he changes, I will come up with a plan to break it. "
Ge Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Eh?"
Bai Xiaowen asked, "What's wrong, Daoist Leader?"
Ge Xuan said, "I feel that the Yizhou boundary is chaotic and unclear. It seems like there is an expert who has concealed the Heavenly Mystery. I don't know who did it. "
Bai Xiaowen frowned and thought for a while. He took out the Mountain River Geographical Map and searched for traces of Zhang Fei again.
However, this time, he failed. There was no red dot on the Mountain River Geographical Map. It was as if Zhang Fei did not exist in this world.
"It seems like the person who concealed the Heavenly Mystery was Zhuge Liang."
Bai Xiaowen said with certainty, "Zhuge Liang must have deduced the effects of the Mountain River Geographical Map from various clues."
Bai Xiaowen was still very unhappy that Zhuge Liang had sealed his cheat. However, there was nothing he could do. He had not finished reading the Taiping Sutra and had not activated his elemental energy special skill.
[Luckily, I have more than one cheat!] Bai Xiaowen could only comfort himself.
"Do you think Zhuge Liang will come to rescue Liu Bei after concealing the Heavenly Mystery?" Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "It has already been confirmed that Zhuge Liang is in charge of the Jingzhou reinforcements. It is not difficult to guess what he will do next. "
As he spoke, Bai Xiaowen pointed at the Mountain River Geographical Map and said, "Our first batch of twenty thousand reinforcements has already been led by Han Yang (referring to Han Xu) from Hanzhong to Yizhou. If I were Zhuge Liang, I would definitely set up an ambush at the ruins of Jiameng Pass to defeat the reinforcements and create an advantage before coming to Liu Bei's aid. "
Not only Cecilia, but even Li Shuyi did not dare to believe it and asked in the team channel, "Would Zhuge Liang really do that?"
After all, Zhuge Liang's wisdom had already reached the acme of perfection.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "I said it is not difficult to guess because Zhuge Liang has too few cards to play. He only has two choices: to rescue Luocheng as soon as possible or to ambush the Hanzhong reinforcements. Which choice would bring him more benefits? You don't have to ask to know. "
Bai Xiaowen continued.
"When two armies are facing off against each other, when the intelligence of both commanders has reached a certain level, both sides' schemes have already been laid out in the open. The role of wisdom has been infinitely reduced. Everyone is still fighting with brute strength.
"For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Meng Da planned to offer the three counties of Shangyong to Zhuge Liang during his first northern expedition. Zhuge Liang knew that Sima Yi would definitely rush over to defeat Meng Da, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, Sima Yi achieved his strategic goal and became the fuse that led to the failure of the first northern expedition."
After pausing for a moment, Bai Xiaowen continued, "It is the same now. If Zhuge Liang gave up on the ambush and rushed over to rescue Luocheng, our reinforcements would arrive one after another and enter the battlefield in Xichuan. Liu Bei's army would definitely lose. "
Bai Xiaowen released the Raven Messenger and concluded, "You're right.
"I now ask Old Han to guard against the ambush and set up camp at Jiameng Pass to form an alliance with Zhuge Liang. This way, we can easily deal with Liu Bei and prevent Old Han's twenty thousand elite soldiers from being defeated by Zhuge Liang's ambush. In fact, without the Raven Messenger, I can only watch Old Han enter Zhuge Liang's ambush without being able to do anything, just like Zhuge Liang during the first northern expedition. "
In the end, it was the Divine Court's gift that was powerful.
