Chapter 120 Taking the initiative to attack
The entire Yu Dynasty meeting hall fell into a heavy atmosphere. Li Dian was killed. This was something that the entire Yu Dynasty could not tolerate.
Before, they were just guessing, guessing that Li Dian was captured or that Li Dian had defected. At that time, they could pretend that nothing happened.
But now the real news has been sent, and almost everyone in the Yu Dynasty knows about it. The seventh-rate military general Li Dian was killed. This is not a small matter in the Yu Dynasty.
If doing nothing is equivalent to compromising to the other party, then how should they explain to these soldiers?
But now they don't know the strength of Damengchao at all. If they attack Damengchao rashly, they will put themselves in danger.
The entire meeting hall was divided into two rows. Generals such as Le Jin strongly suggested that the Yu Dynasty send troops to cross the Yellow River and start a battle with the opponent to avenge Li Dian and give an explanation to the soldiers under his command.
The counselors headed by Li Su suggested that the Yu Dynasty give up the attack on the Dameng Dynasty and focus on developing internal affairs. Only when the force reaches ten thousand people can they fight against the opponent.
The two parties couldn't stop arguing, and they all looked at their lord, Wang Yu.
Wang Yu was also weighing the pros and cons. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Fight!"
"We have three towns on the Yellow River guarding the inland. Even if we fail this time, we can retreat without suffering much losses."
"If we don't fight, not only will the soldiers under our command look down on the Yu Dynasty regime, but even the people under our rule will think that we are weak and can be bullied."
"This matter already involves the issue of face, so... fight!"
Wang Yu was the lord of the Yu Dynasty and had absolute say in the Yu Dynasty. The most important thing was that the counselor Li Su and the general Wenpin were particularly loyal to him.
He had no intention of winning the loyalty of all military generals. As long as he captured the leaders of civil servants and military generals, he could control the voice of the entire Yu Dynasty.
Wang Yu looked at Wenpin and said, "General Wen, this time I plan to let you lead two thousand troops and cross the Yellow River yourself."
Wenpin nodded: "Since the master wants to fight, Wen is bound to do it."
After a pause, he continued: "It's just that my lord has to think carefully about what the fight will look like this time and what results will be achieved."
Wang Yu hummed, looked at Li Su again, and asked, "Mr. Li, what do you think?"
Li Su said: "Since my lord is determined to fight, I believe that this battle is only to test the opponent's strength. General Wen can judge from the situation on the battlefield that once we are evenly matched, our long-range operations will be extremely disadvantageous and we should turn back immediately."

"If General Wen sees that the other party is not as strong as us, then he will take this opportunity to capture the entire Dameng Dynasty and achieve the unification of the north and the south."
Wang Yushen said with approval: "Mr. Li is an old man, so let's follow Mr. Li's wishes. General Wen, everything depends on you this time. You are better at judging the situation on the battlefield than anyone else, so be careful."
Wenpin nodded lightly and said, "It's nothing."
He was very confident in himself. After all, he was a fifth-rate general and could crush almost everything. If he were just a fifth-rate general, he would also have a companion beast - a falcon.
The falcon is not an ordinary eagle. He is twice the size of an ordinary eagle. He has hard quills all over his body. He can attack people and has super defensive capabilities. In addition, his companion beast also has a pair of sharp thorns. The incomparable claws are so powerful that they can pierce through the neck of anyone on the battlefield.
With the blessing of the companion beast, Wenpin's combat effectiveness has been raised to another level. If the opponent is just a fifth-rate general, Wenpin will not be afraid!
Moreover, this river-crossing battle is not really about annihilating the opponent. The main purpose is to test the opponent's reality. If the opponent is really weak, then annex it.
But Wenpin didn't think that the opponent would be so weak. Being able to kill all the three hundred troops brought by Li Dian showed that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated. At least a seventh-rate general or above was in command!
Wenpin took two generals, Cheng Yu and Ma Zhong, and a thousand troops to the Yellow River ferry.
Cheng Yu was the ninth-rate general, Ma Zhong was the eighth-rate general, and the Yu Dynasty had the seventh-rate general Yue Jin and the sixth-rate general Gan Ning in charge, which could almost guarantee the stability of the rear.
"General, be careful all the way and come back soon." "Okay." Wenpin nodded lightly. There was a falcon on his armor. The falcon patrolled with its eyes, looking very sinister.
"Let's go find out some information first."
When Wenpin spoke, the falcon quickly soared away.
……
Dameng Town, meeting hall.
Zhang Zhao believed that there were loopholes in Zhuge Liang's strategy. He said: "The general is sending Le Jin back this time to prevent the other party from guessing our strength."
"But the other side may not send troops to actively fight with us to test our strength."
"The other party has lost a seventh-rate military general. If we don't do anything to deal with it, the other party's face will be lost. I guess they will definitely send troops over."
"It's just that they may not be fighting us to the death. They are most likely trying to test us. Even if they lose, there are still three Yellow River towns behind for strategic defense, so they will definitely send troops to fight this time!"
Zhuge Liang let Lejin go back just to confuse and confuse the enemy army, but when he thought about it, what Zhang Zhao said seemed to make sense.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"If we lose on the battlefield, they will take the opportunity to attack us directly and send more people to attack."
"General, you must prepare early. No matter what, there will definitely be a war next. We cannot make any mistakes in this war."
"Once we lose, the consequences will be disastrous."
After Zhang Zhao reminded him, Zhuge Liang believed that what Zhang Zhao said was reasonable.
Everyone in the entire meeting hall also looked serious.
No one knows who the other side will send this time. You must know that the Yu Dynasty sent spies twice to spy on intelligence, and the spies sent were all seventh-rate generals.
Two seventh-rate military generals were rare existences even in Dameng Town, but the other party could send two of them at will. This was enough to show that the seventh-rate generals were not a treasure in the opponent's camp.
Dameng Town now only has one seventh-rate military general, but the key is a seventh-rate military general who can fight from a distance.
This shows that there is still a certain gap in strength between Dameng Town and the opponent.
If the other side sends troops to test this time, once Dameng Town shows any decline, the other side will definitely pursue the victory. At that time, Dameng Town will be in danger.
Zhuge Liang looked serious and said: "Go and bring General Pan Feng and General Zhong Hui back!"
"General Gongsun, General Yu, please stay vigilant these days and lead more troops to patrol the banks of the Yellow River."
"Once you discover the other side's army, come back immediately and report it. Don't make any arbitrary decisions!"
"Here!"
