Chapter 453 How do you know that I predicted your prediction, prediction, prediction...
After Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong divided the work, they began to act according to the previous plan. Sima Yi and Pang Tong led some soldiers to provoke Liao Li under Xiling City, while Zhuge Liang led the remaining soldiers to find a place to camp.
During this period, I don’t know what Sima Yi said to Liao Li, which made Liao Li angry. However, Liao Li was not stupid enough to jump off the city wall to duel Sima Yi. Instead, he stood on the city wall and exchanged insults with Sima Yi.
It can be seen that although Liao Li's military strategy is a bit rubbish, he can still recognize his own strength. He knows that if he jumps off the city wall to duel with Sima Yi, Sima Yi may directly order him to be arrested.
Although Liao Li is proud of his talent, he is not just a showman, but someone with real talents. The fact that Jiangxia County has been swept away by the trio in the past few days has made Liao Li realize one thing clearly. With his being a member of Jiangxia County It seems that the strength is really no match for the three young people opposite.
That's right, if there weren't people behind the three young people on the opposite side, how could Liao Li have fallen to this point? If there were people behind him, he would definitely defeat the three young people on the opposite side!
Unfortunately, Liao Li's confidence that he had finally re-established was told by Sima Yi that he had broken his guard. At this time, Liao Li was jumping around and scolding Sima Yi.
"Well, let me just say that having only one Xiling city left is Liao Gongyuan's pain point." Sima Yi said to Pang Tong with some pride. It was really refreshing to see Liao Li's arrogant expression turn into anger.
"Yes, yes, having only one Xiling city left is indeed his pain point. The furious Liao Gongyuan is indeed a highlight, but you haven't solved the problem of him not fighting." Pang Tong said helplessly. Although Liao Li was Sima Yi's defense was broken, but his sanity was still clear. Even if his defense was broken, he did not make any unnecessary actions that affected his own safety.
Sima Yi's face froze. After listening to Pang Tong's words, he began to feel that the fact that he said Liao Li broke the defense was not worth mentioning. He just told people to break the defense and did not trick people out of the city. It was simply a failure of words. Combat.
"Okay, let's go back first and make plans tomorrow." Pang Tong greeted Sima Yi. Whether Sima Yi had any effect in telling Liao Li that he broke his defense today cannot be seen now. Anyway, Pang Tong is It is believed that Sima Yi has shaken the will of Liao Li and the army defending the city.
A wise person like Liao Li, who is not a strong-willed person, would be so easily attacked by some words to break his defense, and then lose his mind and rush out to fight with the person who scolded him.
Compared with first-class wise men such as Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, etc., although Liao Li is only a second-class wise man, it does not mean that Liao Li's ability is worse than these people. Even if there is a gap, there will not be a gap.
What really separates them is their vision. Like first-class wise men like Guo Jiaxunyu, their focus is always on the world, rather than the gains and losses of one city or one place.
But the second-class wise men like Liao Li are different. Their focus is on dividing the country and dividing the country, that is, separatizing one side, rather than thinking about unification.
This gap in vision leads to the fact that their abilities are obviously similar, but their performance is completely different. Just like elite talents, one's own ability is the basic quality, and the vision is the talent multiplier. When the talent multiplier is higher, the effect that can be exerted is closer to the limit.
Can you say that Liao Li's current performance is really his limit? No, that's not his limit. If Liao Li really wanted to make the trio fall hard, he shouldn't have concentrated his troops in the city, but should have drawn them out to fight mobile warfare or something else. style of play.
The water network in Jiangxia County is dense. Even if Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong control 30,000 Danyang elites, there is nothing they can do against Liao Li. What's more, there are still some warships in the Jiangxia naval base that Jiang Qin did not take away. If Liao Li If you want to hide and harass the trio, that's not a simple matter.
Moreover, since we already have ships, we don’t need to worry about logistical supplies when fighting guerrilla warfare. We can just load them onto the ship and take them away together, and we can take them wherever we fight. Of course, this is just imagination. It would be great if war was really that simple.
"Damn it, Kong Ming, your camp is pretty good. At least in my opinion, you can't find any obvious loopholes. And isn't this a bit too fast?" Sima Yi was a little agitated after returning to the place where Zhuge Liang camped. He said in surprise that he thought he would need to help Zhuge Liang set up camp after returning to the camp, but he did not expect that Zhuge Liang had already completed setting up camp, and it was quite good.
"One thing to say, although Kong Ming's military ability is not as good as your internal affairs, your camping method is still very good." Pang Tong also praised, then he saw Guan Hai standing next to Zhuge Liang, and said casually He added: "You didn't ask General Guan to help, right?"
Guan Hai quickly stood up to refute the rumors and said: "Pang Shenjun is joking. The camp in front of you was arranged by Zhuge Military Advisor himself. It has nothing to do with me. If it does, it is probably because Zhuge Military Advisor invited me to check this." How is the layout of the camp?" If Pang Tong misunderstood, Guan Haike would not be able to hand over the task to Yang Ji.
"Uh..." Pang Tong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Guan Hai to stand up. He originally just wanted to tease Zhuge Liang, but looking at Guan Hai's serious expression, he felt that now was not the time to be stunned.
"General Guan misunderstood. I'm not accusing Kong Ming of asking you to help set up the camp. It was just a joke between friends." Pang Tong hurriedly explained to Guan Hai.
"Is...is that so?" Guan Hai was a little shocked. Could it be that he has been too sensitive recently, that he can't distinguish between ridicule and the truth?
"Okay." Seeing what Pang Tong said, Guan Hai believed it. After all, these people had no reason to deceive him. What's more, before meeting Zhuge Liang, Guan Hai had been getting along with Pang Tong and Sima Yi for a while. For this The impression between the two of them was pretty good.
"Is General Guan such a serious person?" After seeing Guan Hai leave, Pang Tong turned to Sima Yi and asked. He remembered that when he was fighting with Yu Jin in Yuzhou, Guan Hai was a very easy-to-talk person.
"General Guan has to report to the superiors." Sima Yi said angrily. If Pang Tong misunderstood that he helped Zhuge Liang and caused a conflict between the two, it would be very annoying when he reported to Yang Ji. .
"Uh...oh - I know what's going on." Pang Tong suddenly realized, and Guan Hai hurriedly explained to him. It turned out that he was afraid that he and Zhuge Liang would misunderstand, and he would not be able to report it to his superiors.
"General Guan probably lacks trust in the relationship between us." Pang Tong sighed and said, "Or are we not very obvious?"
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi looked at each other, then looked away in disgust. With their current relationship, it's no wonder Guan Hai doesn't trust their relationship. "I'm going to check if there's anything else that needs to be added in the camp." After Zhuge Liang said that, he left without even looking at Pang Tong, who looked worried.
"I'll go back and think carefully about what words to use to break Liao Gongyuan's defense." Sima Yi followed suit and then left the scene, leaving Pang Tong behind who rolled his eyes wildly.
"I should also think about what siege strategy I should use tomorrow." Pang Tong thought for a while and felt that he had to keep pace with Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi. After all, the three of them were a trio personally appointed by Yang Ji.
The three military advisors and the soldiers had all left, leaving only the soldiers standing guard at the camp gate, silently staring at a large area in front of the camp gate to prevent enemy troops from touching here, and the observers on the watchtower were also watching. In Xiling City, which is not far away, if something happens somewhere, a warning can be issued in time.
Guan Hai, who returned to his tent, was muttering - "Should we remind them that there may be a night attack tonight?
But based on the wisdom shown by the three of them, they should be able to think of this. After all, taking advantage of the enemy's fatigue, direct night attack is also a conventional method to win victory.
Although night attacks are a bit demanding for the troops participating in night attacks, the county guard occupying a county can find some observers who can see things in the night no matter what. After all, there are so many rivers and lakes here, so it should be Can you often eat fish? ”
Guan Hai originally didn't know that eating fish could effectively relieve night blindness, but after following Yang Ji for a long time, he would always get some strange knowledge, and night blindness was just one of them.
The trio, who were busy with their own affairs, had no idea what Guan Hai was struggling with. After all, in their understanding, although Liao Li's military strategy was not very good, his wisdom should not be underestimated. In difficult tactical operations, if you don't have a trader with sufficient level, you can easily get yourself into trouble and fall short of success.
"Forget it, let's be prepared, just in case those three young people really haven't thought about this." Guan Hai sighed. Wasn't he sent here by Yang Ji just to check and fill in the gaps for the trio? Well.
Guan Hai found Zhuge Liang and told him that the opponent might come to attack at night. It was obvious that Zhuge Liang had not considered the possibility that the opponent would take this opportunity to attack at night.
"General Guan, are you sure that the other side will come for a night attack tonight?" Zhuge Liang asked Guan Hai with some embarrassment. He really had not considered that the other side would come for a night attack, or he had thought of this possibility, but he took the initiative on his own Excluding it, after all, everyone is smart, how could they not be able to tell that the opponent predicted the opponent's prediction.
However, Guan Hai came over to remind him that the enemy camp might be attacked at night, which made Zhuge Liang unable to sit still. He did not expect that Liao Li on the opposite side would not follow common sense and choose to attack the enemy camp at night at this time. .
"This...if you ask me, I can't be sure." Guan Hai said speechlessly. What he just said is just his speculation. He is not a wise man and can get the correct answer based on certain traces. , he was able to come to this conclusion because of his intuition and experience gained from fighting for the rest of his life.
Moreover, he has given his own judgment about the enemy's army. As for how to arrange the next step, that is Zhuge Liang's business. Isn't that what military commanders and strategists have to do? What's more, Zhuge Liang now serves as both. The burden is heavier.
To be honest, Guan Hai's impression of Zhuge Liang has declined a bit now. Zhuge Liang's behavior along the way is not like a wise man with pearls of wisdom, nor like a military commander who is prepared for rainy days, but like a fledgling rookie.
Well, it seems that the three people Yang Ji asked him to take care of are indeed newbies. Guan Hai glanced at Zhuge Liang who was in deep thought. Maybe his expectations for the trio were too high. After all, they were the young people recommended by Yang Ji. It would be strange if Guan Hai didn't have any expectations.
However, Guan Hai felt that his expectations for the trio could be lowered a notch. After all, they were teenagers. No matter how wise they were, they could not make up for the experience brought by age. Experience could only Falling in the process of continuous learning.
Guan Hai was reflecting on whether it was too much to compare the trio with people like Yang Ji and Chen Xi. After all, not everyone can achieve such achievements at this age like these two people.
"Come here, tell the two soldiers to come and discuss the matter." After Zhuge Liang thought briefly, he decided to call Sima Yi and Pang Tong to discuss the possibility of a night attack from the other side.
Zhuge Liang's original plan was to let the soldiers rest for a day before attacking the city. After all, they had swept through all the counties in Jiangxia County in the past few days.
But he didn't expect that Guan Hai actually made a judgment that there might be a night attack tonight. In addition, he himself was not sure what Liao Li was thinking, so he could only call Sima Yi and Pang Tong over to discuss it.
Guan Hai stood quietly and watched Zhuge Liang's operations. He shook his head first, and then nodded. He shook his head because Zhuge Liang did not arrange the deployment of defenses at the first time, and nodded because Zhuge Liang knew that when he could not determine the situation, he would go to People came over to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Just when Guan Hai wanted to remind Zhuge Liang to strengthen defense at night, Zhuge Liang began to arrange personnel to strengthen patrols at night. Guan Hai remained silent and lowered his sense of presence. He seemed to have underestimated the young man in front of him just now.
Soon, Sima Yi and Pang Tong came to Zhuge Liang's camp. Zhuge Liang directly told them Guan Hai's judgment without writing.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's story, Sima Yi and Pang Tong were a little stunned. They had no idea that Liao Li would let his soldiers launch a surprise attack on the enemy camp at night when they could not see clearly.
"Should dark clouds cover the moon tonight, or am I blind and unable to see the moonlight shining in the sky?" Pang Tong said as he walked out of the tent to see if it was a silver moon hanging high outside or a dark sky.
