Chapter 436 This is probably a kind of unity...
"Is there not a qualified general in the city?" Cao Cao looked at Shouchun City in front of him and couldn't help but ask everyone.
It’s all because the Shouchun City defenses in front of them are almost the same as what Yang Ji showed them on the sand table two days ago. In the end, it’s because the internal lines in Shouchun City are too strong and they have obtained the complete plan formulated by Zhang Zhao. City defense planning.
After receiving the information from the insider, Yang Ji stood outside the rules and filled in the missing information, and then showed them the complete city defense map.
To be more extreme, this is the intention of the opponent, or it is the best efforts of Zhang Zhao and others to achieve this. After all, there are quite a few designs in the city defense of Shouchun City to facilitate retreat. Resisting the enemy siege seemed to be placed in the second place.
"It can't be said that there are no qualified generals involved. You can see that the layout of those places is very sophisticated and incompatible with the surrounding defenses. It should be the three veteran generals they transferred back from Jingzhou." Yang Ji clicked. several places, pointing out their eerie sense of being out of place with their surroundings.
"Is there any?" Cao Cao is also a man who knows soldiers. Although he saw a lot of designs that were not helpful in defending the city at a glance, Cao Cao didn't see the places that Yang Ji pointed out. What a special design.
"..." After seeing clearly the layout of the places Yang Ji pointed out, Cao Cao now knew why he ignored those places, because the defensive front layout in these places was too It's more than normal. If you look carefully, you will know that it is arranged by experienced veterans.
Logically speaking, this kind of layout that is incompatible with the surrounding city defenses should be extremely prominent in Cao Cao's eyes, but if Yang Ji hadn't pointed it out, Cao Cao would have ignored these places.
There is nothing surprising about the layout of these places. The only surprising thing is that these layouts are really not surprising. Among the "glamourous bitches" in the surrounding area, they are called innocent.
Why didn't Cao Cao catch a glimpse of these "innocent" arrangements among a bunch of "beautiful bitches" flaunting their beauty? Of course, it's because the person who designed this city defense is very clever. Putting these "innocent" fronts among a bunch of "sexy bitches", there is no outstanding point.
When Yang Ji commanded the army to attack the city, these places must be captured, otherwise he will face pressure from other places.
Although other fronts are unlikely to put too much pressure on the siege troops, the pressure of sieges is already great, plus the pressure that continues to increase. , the siege troops can easily explode themselves.
Cao Cao glanced over just now, and of course he discovered the importance of these places. If they want to take down the city wall, they must take these points.
However, the person who made the city defense plan is clever here. This person knows very well that the various forces in Shouchun City are only unified by him on the surface, and he wants these forces to participate. When it comes to city defense, you must face the fact that the various forces will not defend the city wall.
This is the self-interest of the aristocratic family. They will not give up future interests for current interests. They know very well that defending the city is for current interests, and giving up defending the city is for future interests.
At this time, no one still thinks that the Jiangnan forces that have lost Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can compete with the army commanded by Yang Ji, right, right?
Indeed, with the strong city of Shouchun and the 80,000 soldiers, if all the forces in the city work together, it is indeed possible to defend the city.
However, Yang Ji has more than 60,000 troops. Even though they only brought 60,000 troops this time, it feels like they only have 60,000 troops, and more are just left at home and not brought here. .
Moreover, Yang Ji could have let Shouchun go first, occupied all the territory that originally belonged to Sun Ce, and then came back to attack Shouchun. It is estimated that there would not be a considerable number of people in Shouchun City like now. Thinking about something that has disappeared.
The aristocratic family is a very contradictory existence. When they seize current interests, they will not forget to obtain long-term interests. While they hope that Zhang Zhao and others can defend Shouchun, they are also preparing for the aftermath when the city is broken. Road, should we say they are short-sighted or have a long-term vision?
The current Shouchun city defense plan is formulated by Zhang Zhao. He is also from a noble family. How could he not know what a noble family is?
So, when Zhang Zhao unified various forces in Shouchun City to organize the city defense, he also acquiesced to these aristocratic families to use the conch shell as a dojo in his city defense plan and arrange the so-called escape routes they needed. It was also one of the conditions for the family to allow Zhang Zhao to mobilize their power.
Zhang Zhao took this opportunity to arrange the three returning old generals at several important nodes on the city defense front. He took advantage of the situation and took advantage of many arrangements of the family that were not used for city defense. The city defense design of important nodes was covered up.
It must be said that Zhang Zhao's ingenuity was very clever. He made perfect use of various forces in the city to cover up the really important defense nodes with a curtain that concealed their existence.
If he hadn't met the outsiders at the beginning, it's impossible to say that Zhang Zhao's plan would have been successful. People who don't have enough eyesight may not be able to see what's going on if they don't fight a few more siege battles. design.
I don’t know who gave Zhang Zhao this idea, or did Zhang Zhao come up with it himself? Yang Ji suspected that the group of counselors and civil servants in Shouchun City worked together to come up with it. After all, it was well known that Zhang Zhao was not good at military affairs.
"Can Zhang Zibu come up with this kind of city defense design? I haven't heard that he is very good at military affairs." Cao Cao was a little confused. The city defense design in front of him made him feel a strange harmony. However, it was precisely this strange sense of harmony that made Cao Cao feel that the city defenses in front of him were definitely not made by the same person.
“He definitely didn’t do it by himself. Although they have made a lot of optimizations, from my perspective, the entire defense structure is made up of multiple parts that are messily spliced together. It hasn't formed an organic whole yet," Yang Ji said with a frown. This kind of scattered defense structure was really unpleasant to look at.
"Didn't form an organic whole?" Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, and Zhuge Liang were stunned for a moment, not understanding what Yang Ji was talking about.
From their perspective, although the defense structure in front of them was harmonious and strange, it was indeed a whole. Otherwise, there would be no way to cover up the incompatibility of several important nodes.
However, they also know one thing very well, that is, Yang Ji’s perspective is different from that of ordinary people like them, because he has broken away from the existing rules and begun to build his own field.
Just like the defense structure of Shouchun City in front of them, in the eyes of ordinary people like them, it is of course a complete defense structure. Otherwise, how could the defense line of Cheng Pu and the others be accommodated? But as mentioned before, what is complete in their eyes is sometimes incomplete in Yang Ji's eyes, and vice versa.
Yang Ji glanced at the three people who were a little confused, and explained casually: "In your field, the defense structure in front of you is indeed a very complete defense structure, and there are not many designs that should be included. , even those designs that facilitate retreat have been integrated into the overall structure by the designers.
This is why those three defense nodes with almost no retreat design have been ignored by some of you. The main factor is that these nodes are included in the whole. "However, due to the different intentions of various forces in the city, this defense structure contains too many wrong structures that should not be accommodated, although it can continue to operate. , But, success or failure, as long as you tap this position, this defense system will collapse." Yang Ji waved his hand and projected a sand table, stretched out his finger and tapped a certain node.
Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Zhuge Liang and the others silently looked at the sand table projected by Yang Ji, compared it with the real Shouchun City defense, and found the node pointed by Yang Ji.
However, they could not imagine why the entire defense system of Shouchun City would collapse after destroying this node?
Furthermore, Yang Ji also said just now that the defense system of Shouchun City is composed of multiple parts spliced and nested. How could it be possible that if a certain node is destroyed, the entire system will explode? situation.
By the way, could this also be the enemy's design? After all, one of the benefits of splicing and nesting is this. As long as all the nested structures are not destroyed, the unaffected parts can continue to run.
"What, you don't believe me?" Yang Ji raised his eyebrows, "Forget it, I'll show you how I operate it tomorrow, lest you think I'm joking with you."
After saying this After speaking, Yang Ji walked off the observation deck. He had completely mastered Shouchun City's defense system and no longer needed to observe it.
Originally, he thought that Zhang Zhao and his gang would come up with something good to open his eyes after integrating all the forces in Shouchun City. After all, they were the ones who created the Sun family and the Wu Kingdom in official history. A group of people.
Facts have proved that those people are really capable and have brought out things, but they are not the good things that Yang Ji hoped for. They are too routine and have no new ideas at all, which makes Yang Ji a little disappointed.
Without Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, these people can no longer be united. Although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were still there, these people were not completely united.
[Forget it, let’s finish it early and call it a day. 】As Yang Ji walked, he thought that it was time to end this trip to the south of the Yangtze River.
When he saw the things Sun Ce and Zhou Yu brought out, Yang Ji was a little happy, thinking that since Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had brought them out, the people in Shouchun, the base camp, should get some new ones. Come out with the things, but Yang Ji was disappointed.
Together, these guys are not as enterprising as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but it is not beyond Yang Ji’s expectation. After all, the Jiangnan family is just such a slut. What else can you think of besides separatist rule in Jiangnan?
"Why do I feel that he is a little disappointed?" Cao Cao looked at Yang Ji's sudden departure and said with some uncertainty: "Could he be disappointed with us?" After all, Yang Ji Du pointed out the key points, but they still didn't see the breaking point of Yang Ji's situation.
"No, it can't be. If he was disappointed with us, he would have shown it long ago. At least we have fought with him in several battles." Cheng Yu looked at Zhuge Liang and said.
If Yang Ji hadn't been suppressing them, Cheng Yu and Cao Cao, who acted evil on the surface but were evil at heart, would never have stayed together with Zhuge Liang, who was righteous on the surface and righteous at heart.
"I think he is not disappointed with us, but with those people across from him." Zhuge Liang seemed not to have heard Cheng Yu's strange words. After all, he is a direct descendant of Liu Bei, and there is no need to play tricks with these surrendered generals. son.
However, if these two guys dare to push their limits, Zhuge Liang will not be easy to offend. Apart from the experience brought by time, in what way is Zhuge Liang weaker than them?
Actually, if reality allows it, Zhuge Liang does not want to become colleagues with these two guys. He has a high moral quality and wants to take action when he sees these two evil-minded guys.
Unfortunately, his moral quality is still too high. If it were Fazheng who had a bad temper, he would definitely give Cheng Yu a slap in the face when he heard Cheng Yu say such strange things.
It seems to be very rare for civil servants to fight with each other these days, especially when Li You and Jia Xu are always showing off their Liangzhou characteristics.
"What's so disappointing about the opposite side..." Cheng Yu squinted his eyes. Zhuge Liang was really not simple. He could easily see who Yang Ji was disappointed with. No wonder he could be in this kind of situation. The spiritual talent awakens at an early age.
"There is really nothing to be disappointed with on the other side. Ziyu is disappointed because there are so many people on the other side, but they didn't come up with anything new to please him." Zhuge Liang said lightly. To say that he knew Yang Ji, Cheng Yu and Cao Cao are definitely not as good as him. After all, these two people still refuse to lower their heads and look at the people who live in silence.
After saying that, Zhuge Liang quietly looked at the node Yang Ji pointed out just now, thinking about why Yang Ji said that after destroying this node, the entire defense system of Shouchun City would collapse.
Compared to discussing this matter with Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, Zhuge Liang chose to think about it on his own and then verify his ideas tomorrow.
After seeing Zhuge Liang immersed in thinking and ignoring them, Cheng Yu shrugged at Cao Cao, saying that since they ignored him, he had no reason to take any further action.
Cao Cao glanced at Zhuge Liang and shook his head slightly at Cheng Yu. Since Zhuge Liang didn't accept the move, the matter ended here.
As expected, he is indeed the core of the next generation chosen by Chen Xi. His calmness alone is better than most people older than him.
Why is Liu Daer so lucky? It's not enough to pick up Chen Xi and Yang Ji. Now there's Zhuge Liang. I heard that there are two young people with different characteristics in the Government Affairs Department.
It really makes people... even jealous. Cao Cao sighed. There is no one in the next generation of the Cao family who can compare with the one in front of him.
Maybe some people can awaken their spiritual talents or become inner Qi separated from the body, but in the eyes of some people, these two are just the beginning, and there is still an invisible distance from the true peak.
