Chapter 454 The more I review the story, the more I feel stupid*
Pang Tong opened the door curtain, and a ray of moonlight sneaked into Zhuge Liang's tent while no one was paying attention. However, only this ray of moonlight would think that no one was paying attention to his behavior. In fact, it was The whole action was watched.
"Holy shit, who blew away the dark clouds outside?" Pang Tong looked at the frost-filled sky and silvery moon hanging high outside, and couldn't help but exclaimed, the sky has changed.
"This guy Liao Li has definitely awakened his spiritual talent, otherwise he wouldn't be able to blow away the dark clouds in the sky." Sima Yi said with a livid face, damn Liao Li, he was actually playing him during the day.
"Quick, organize troops to defend. The opponent chose to blow away the dark clouds at this time, which means that the other side has begun a night attack." Zhuge Liang realized something and immediately ordered to wake up the soldiers who had fallen asleep to prepare them for the upcoming night attack. .
Sima Yi and Pang Tong were also sent out by Zhuge Liang to command the troops to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation and causing heavy losses to their own troops.
However, until dawn arrived, Zhuge Liang, who had been on guard all night, did not wait for the enemy's night attack. In other words, their efforts all night were in vain because they were scaring themselves.
"This is the enemy's tactic to tire us out. We can't scare ourselves. Last night my spiritual talent had already responded, and a wise man with spiritual talent appeared on the opposite side." Pang Tong said with a very bad look on his face.
"But, we did fall into the trap." Zhuge Liang also looked a little unhappy. Because of what happened last night, the siege they originally planned for today had to be suspended.
"Sure enough, those who can awaken their spiritual talents at this time are not easy to deal with." Sima Yi lamented how difficult the opponent Liao Li was.
"Okay, don't worry about this kind of thing there. It's also our fault for our inexperience. We didn't realize that the opponent's purpose was to let us have a bad rest." Sima Yi's mentality was not as angry as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. He felt that The tactical operation made by Liao Li is a good lesson.
"Haha, if our reaction hadn't been more intense, do you think the other side would have retreated without doing anything?" Pang Tong sneered, Liao Li was planning this. If they hadn't ordered the army to take corresponding measures last night, Pang Tong sneered. If they didn't move or react in time, Liao Li would definitely let them taste what it felt like to be successfully attacked at night.
Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Pang Tong completed what happened last night one by one. At the same time, they also clarified the logic of Liao Li's actions last night, which was to bully these young men who had no experience.
Although Liao Li was arrogant and arrogant, he really had something. Just using his mental power to blow away the dark clouds in the sky could make the trio nervous for a whole night. This effort was like nothing.
Moreover, just as Pang Tong said just now, if the trio did not order the troops to respond accordingly, then Liao Li would directly attack Zhuge Liang's military camp and cause heavy losses to Zhuge Liang's side.
And if the trio responded accordingly and the response speed was good, Liao Li would retreat. After all, when Zhuge Liang swept Jiangxia County before, he already knew that his troops were no match for Zhuge Liang's troops. .
Moreover, the trio didn't react last night to use their mental power to engage in a spiritual confrontation with Liao Li. They just foolishly ordered the troops to prepare for a surprise attack. It was so miserable to be bullied.
If Yang Ji were present, he would probably directly use his mental power to charge the opponent's mental power. Anyway, he would first destroy what the opponent wants to do, and then consider how to destroy the opponent's troops as well. Flush once.
Instead of just sitting there stupidly waiting for the enemy to come like the trio, this is not the way to wait and see. The enemy is not stupid, how could he step into the trap after seeing it? What a stupid commander. Making such an order, of course, except for traps that must be stepped on.
It can only be said that this trio lost due to lack of experience, but that's right. After all, Liao Li is so many years older than the trio, and his experience is probably almost gone.
Guan Hai stood quietly and watched the trio discuss the gains and losses of last night, while absorbing what he needed from it. It had to be said that even if the trio was inexperienced, they could still speculate based on their own wisdom. There are many things that they will need to fight for the rest of their lives to realize.
Guan Hai sighed. He admitted that his judgment last night was too arbitrary. The trio just lacked experience. Their abilities were not a problem at all. As for the problem of not acting like a wise man with pearls of wisdom, that was his fault. Guan Hai didn't understand the wise man. After all, his brain was just like that. How could he possibly understand what kind of creature a wise man was?
However, even after acknowledging the abilities of the trio, Guan Hai did not remind them what to do next. After all, the trio had now discussed what to do next, and the content of the discussion was basically in line with Guan Hai's experience.
"Then the next actions will be arranged according to what we just discussed." Zhuge Liang ended the discussion between the three groups, and then said to Guan Hai: "General Guan will be responsible for the patrol and defense for the next two days. .”
"No problem, you guys should have a good rest these two days. I will arrange manpower to carry out the patrol." Guan Hai nodded. In terms of fighting, it is not convenient for Guan Hai to take his subordinates to participate, but he still patrols and defends the camp. No problem.
After sending Guan Hai away, Zhuge Liang said a little tiredly: "We should have asked General Guan last night, otherwise we wouldn't have ended up like this. After all, the most experienced person here is General Guan, and he is still The military advisor Ziyu sent to us ”
Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Pang Tong knew one thing very well. The purpose of Yang Ji sending Guan Hai was not to let them use the fighting power of Guan Hai and his men to win victory, but to serve as military advisors to the three of them. Guan Hai Rich battlefield experience is what the three young people need most.
["What's the use of talking about these things after everything has passed?" Pang Tong habitually choked Zhuge Liang, then sighed and said: "I guess General Guan was already ready to answer our questions at that time, but it's a pity that a few of us No one is enlightened.”
"I'm talking about this to remind everyone not to forget General Guan, an experienced veteran." Zhuge Liang said helplessly. The brothers had been tricked by the opponent because they believed in their own abilities too much. of.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't think that you can preach to the two of us just because you are our boss for the time being. Do you think we still need you to teach us this?" Pang Tong said to Zhuge Liang fiercely. It was really embarrassing. Zhuge Liang actually I dare to teach him.
The corner of Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched. Pang Tong had a hole in his head. He was just reminding them not to forget the existence of Guan Hai, a military advisor, and to ask Guan Hai for advice. This could be defined as preaching by Pang Tong, and it was not Know who is causing trouble. Although Sima Yi did not participate in it, he hid aside and silently watched Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong fight passionately, which eventually led to the three of them breaking up on bad terms. 】——The fictional historian stayed——
……
It was a cloudless night today, so Liao Li did not need to use his mental power to blow away the dark clouds in the sky and let the moonlight illuminate the earth. Yes, he was here again. He came over to see if there was a chance to repeat the operation last night.
[It's a pity that there are no clouds tonight, otherwise the operation last night could be repeated and surprise them. 】Liao Li thought to himself as he looked at the camp clearly visible like a waterfall under the moonlight.
"Whoops!" Just when Liao Li was thinking about how to disturb the troops in the camp, an arrow suddenly shot towards him, and was blocked by his mental barrier.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Before Liao Li could realize how he had exposed his position, more arrows shot towards their hidden position, and immediately there were many soldiers brought by Liao Li. He was shot dead on the spot.
"Retreat!" Liao Li shouted decisively. Liao Li had already been prepared for the situation when the night attack failed and was fished instead.
The reason why he yelled loudly to let the other side know his position was to let his soldiers know that his general was not dead yet. If he didn't let his soldiers know his existence at this late night, it is estimated that this night attack force would be on the spot. It will be gone.
As for the situation where his shouting would reveal his position and attract more arrows to be shot at him, Liao Li didn't care much about it. After all, he had a mental barrier and did not have a strong enough level of archery. It really may not be able to penetrate his mental barrier.
A wise man who can activate the mental barrier is so arrogant in the face of the arrows.
Soon, Liao Li led his troops and ran back to Xiling City. However, this was only because Guan Hai did not send troops to pursue him. Otherwise, Liao Li would not have been able to run back to the city so easily, and hundreds more would have been killed or injured. Only then can people return to the city.
"It's strange. Why does the opponent's defensive style look like a different person tonight?" Liao Li was a little confused. When he had fought with those three young people before, he didn't feel that they were very experienced people.
However, the group of people he met tonight was different. Liao Li was sure that the group of people he met just now were definitely elite, and the general leading them was definitely a veteran who had experienced many battles.
However, Liao Li had a doubt. Since there were veterans present in the camp, why did the defense of the opposite camp last night look like it was directed by a novice?
"Hmph, you are so confident." After figuring out what was going on, Liao Li's anger suddenly emerged. The purpose of Yuzhou sending the trio was actually to save them money. experience, and a veteran was specially assigned as a military consultant for this purpose.
You know, Liu Bei is now preparing for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and as a result, he sent a veteran to serve as a military advisor to the trio. What does this mean? Do you think you can win over Yuan Shao and Jizhou even without using all your strength?
Although I don’t know much about the strength of Yuan Shao’s rule, Yuan Shao still has the support of major aristocratic families. If Liu Bei doesn’t take it seriously with all his strength, he is very likely to be overthrown by Yuan Shao, and Yang Ji has another If you are not in Yanzhou, this possibility is even greater.
Liao Li sighed. The above were just his guesses based on the existing information. As for the specific situation, it was not something that he, a remnant, should consider.
What's more, after Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Shouchun fell, his intelligence system was paralyzed. If he wanted to get intelligence from other areas, he could only get it from businessmen running around.
Because of Liu Bei's special regulations for merchants, almost all merchants in the Han Dynasty would go to Liu Bei's rule to conduct transactions, and then return to their familiar places with their goods to carry out commercial activities. Therefore, those merchants who traveled all over the country knew many other places. After all, you have to communicate with people when running a business, and you can always hear some news from other people's mouths when you go back and forth.
Liao Li could only think of obtaining information from businessmen because of a chance. Otherwise, with his arrogance, how could he have thought of obtaining information through businessmen.
However, merchants are merchants after all. No matter how well-informed they are, the news they know is only news that the local people have known for a long time. Some of it is even false news deliberately released by local princes to confuse other spies.
If Liao Li hadn't been capable enough and had the support of his family, it would have been difficult for him to reconstruct a more realistic situation from the true and false information.
"Since you want to use me as a touchstone, let's give it a try and see if your young people can withstand my test." Liao Li looked back at Zhuge Liang's military camp sternly and snorted. He shook his sleeves and returned to the government office.
"General Guan, how is the situation?" Zhuge Liang quickly stepped forward and asked Guan Hai. As expected, that guy Liao Li came again tonight.
"After I fired a hail of arrows at their hiding position, they chose to retreat." Guan Hai shook his head and said. He did not expect that just a hail of arrows would scare away the opponent.
"Run away?" Pang Tong said in surprise. He didn't expect it to be so simple. "They won't turn back halfway, right?" Pang Tong was worried that Liao Li might turn back halfway. After all, Liao Li's goal was to interfere with their rest. .
"The scouts reported that they have returned to the city. Presumably they will not leave the city tonight." Guan Hai said calmly. Is there anyone who doesn't send scouts to keep an eye on them?
Pang Tong was silent. He was really in a daze last night. He didn't even think of sending scouts to Xiling City to detect Liao Li's movements. After all, Liao Li was leading soldiers and horses, and there must be a lot of movement in and out of the city gate.
