The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 436 This is probably a form of solidarity...

"Is there no qualified general in the city?" Cao Cao looked at Shouchun City in front of him and couldn't help asking everyone.

This was because the defense of Shouchun City in front of them had hardly changed from what Yang Ji had shown them on the sand table two days ago. In the end, the inside line of Shouchun City was too powerful, and they had obtained the complete city defense plan that Zhang Zhao had gathered everyone to formulate.

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 put it more extremely, this was intentional on the part of the other side, or being able to do this was already the greatest effort of Zhang Zhao and his people. After all, a considerable part of Shouchun City's defenses were designed to facilitate retreat, and resisting enemy sieges seemed to have been placed second.

“It cannot be said that there are no qualified generals involved. You see, the layout of those places is very sophisticated. It is incompatible with the surrounding defenses. It should be arranged by the three veteran generals they transferred back from Jingzhou.” Yang Ji pointed to a few places, pointing out the weird feeling that they were incompatible with the surrounding environment.

"Is there?" Cao Cao was also a man who knew military affairs. Although he saw many designs that were not helpful for defending the city when he took a quick glance just now, he did not see any special designs in the places pointed out by Yang Ji.

"..." After seeing clearly the arrangements of the places pointed out by Yang Ji, Cao Cao now knew why he had overlooked those places, because the defensive line arrangements in these places were too normal. A closer look would reveal that they were arranged by experienced veterans.

Logically speaking, this arrangement that is incompatible with the surrounding city defenses should have stood out in Cao Cao's eyes, but - if Yang Ji hadn't pointed it out, Cao Cao would really 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 "slutty girls" around them, they are so pure.

Why didn't Cao Cao see these "pure" arrangements among a bunch of "slutty girls"? Of course, it was because the person who designed this city defense was very clever. He put these "pure" fronts among a bunch of "slutty girls" without any prominence.

When Yang Ji was commanding the army to attack the city, these places had to be captured, otherwise he would face pressure from other places.

Although other fronts are unlikely to bring too much pressure to the siege troops, the pressure of siege is already very high. Coupled with the continuous and increasing pressure, the siege troops can easily explode.

Cao Cao just took a quick glance and of course discovered the importance of these places. If they want to take down the city wall, they must take these points.

However, the person who formulated the city defense plan was very smart. He knew very well that the various forces in Shouchun City were only integrated by him on the surface. If he wanted these forces to participate in the city defense, he had to face one fact, that is, the various forces would not defend the city walls to the death.

This is the selfishness of the aristocratic families. They will not give up future interests for current interests. They are very clear that defending the city is for current interests, and giving up defending the city is for future interests.

At this point in time, no one would still think that the Jiangnan forces without Sun Ce and Zhou Yu could contend against the army led by Commander Yang Ji, right? No way, no way?

Indeed, with the strong city of Shouchun and 80,000 soldiers, if all the forces in the city work together, it is indeed possible to defend the city.

But, Yang Ji has more than 60,000 troops. Don't think that he only brought 60,000 troops this time. Most of them are just left at home and not brought here.

Moreover, Yang Ji could have let Shouchun go first, occupied all the territories originally under Sun Ce's rule, and then came back to attack Shouchun. There probably wouldn't be a considerable number of people in Shouchun city who were thinking about some unrealistic things like they are now.

The aristocratic families are a very contradictory existence. While they are seizing current benefits, they will not forget to obtain long-term benefits. On the one hand, they hope that Zhang Zhao and others can defend Shouchun, and on the other hand, they are preparing a retreat when the city is broken. Should we say that they are short-sighted or have a long-term vision?
The current defense planner for Shouchun City is Zhang Zhao, who also comes from a noble family. How could he not know what a noble family is?

Therefore, when Zhang Zhao unified the various forces in Shouchun City to organize the city defense, he also tacitly allowed these aristocratic families to set up a trick in the city defense plan he formulated and arrange the so-called retreat route they needed. This was also one of the conditions for the aristocratic families to allow Zhang Zhao to mobilize their forces.

Zhang Zhao took this opportunity to arrange the three returning old generals to several important nodes in the city defense front. He also took advantage of many arrangements of the aristocratic families that were not used for city defense to conceal the city defense designs of these important nodes.

It has to be said that Zhang Zhao's idea was very clever. He made perfect use of the various forces in the city to cover the truly important defense nodes with a curtain that concealed their presence.

If Zhang Zhao had not met an outsider at the beginning, it is possible that his plan would have succeeded. People with insufficient foresight may not be able to see the various designs involved unless they fight a few more siege battles.

It was unknown who had given Zhang Zhao this idea, or was it Zhang Zhao who had come up with it himself? Yang Ji suspected that it was the result of the joint efforts of the counselors and officials in Shouchun City, 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 good at military affairs." Cao Cao was a little confused. The city defense design in front of him made him feel a strange sense of harmony, but it was precisely this strange sense of harmony that made Cao Cao feel that the city defense in front of him was definitely not designed by the same person.

"It's definitely not something he came up with by himself. Although they have done a lot of optimizations, from my point of view, the entire defense structure is made up of multiple parts randomly spliced ​​together, and it has not yet formed an organic whole." Yang Ji said with a frown. This kind of randomly spliced ​​defense structure is really unpleasant to look at.

"Failed to form an organic whole?" Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and Zhuge Liang were stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Yang Ji was talking about.

From their perspective, although the defense structure in front of them was strangely harmonious, it was indeed a whole, otherwise it would not be possible to conceal the incompatibility of those important nodes.

However, they were also very clear about one thing, that is, Yang Ji's perspective was different from that of ordinary people like them, because he had broken away from the existing rules and started 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 can the defense line of Cheng Pu and the other two 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 confused people and explained casually: "In your field, the defense architecture in front of you is indeed a very complete defense architecture. It has all the necessary designs, and even those designs that facilitate retreat have been integrated into the overall architecture by the designer.

This is also the main reason why the three defense nodes that have almost no retreat design were ignored by you guys, because these nodes were incorporated into the whole." "However, due to the various forces in the city, this defense structure has accommodated too many wrong structures that should not be accommodated. Although it can continue to operate, success or failure is also due to the wind and cloud. As long as you lightly touch this position, this defense system will collapse." Yang Ji waved his hand to project a sand table, stretched out his finger and lightly tapped a node.

Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and Zhuge Liang silently looked at the sand table projected by Yang Ji, compared it with the actual defense of Shouchun City, and found the node that Yang Ji pointed out.

However, they could not imagine why the entire defense system of Shouchun City would collapse after this node was destroyed?
Moreover, as Yang Ji said just now, Shouchun City's defense system is composed of multiple parts spliced ​​together and nested in a structure. How is it possible that if one node is destroyed, the entire system will explode?

By the way, could this also be the enemy's design? After all, one of the advantages of splicing and nesting is this: as long as all the nested structures are not destroyed, the parts that are not affected can continue to operate.

"Why, you don't believe me?" Yang Ji raised his eyebrows. "Forget it, I'll show you how I operate it tomorrow, so you don't think I'm kidding you."

After saying this, Yang Ji walked down from the observation deck. He had fully mastered Shouchun City's defense system and no longer needed to observe it.

Originally, he thought that after Zhang Zhao and his gang integrated various forces in Shouchun City, they would come up with some good things to open his eyes. After all, they were the group of people who founded the Sun Wu Kingdom in official history.

Facts have proved that those people were indeed capable and they produced something, but it was not the good stuff that Yang Ji had hoped for. It was too conventional and had no novelty at all, which made Yang Ji a little disappointed.

Without Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, these people really couldn't unite anymore. Even when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were still there, these people were never completely united.

[Forget it, let's finish the fight early and call it a day.] Yang Ji thought as he walked that it was time to end this trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

Originally, when Yang Ji saw what Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took out, he was a little happy. He thought that since Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had taken out things, the people in the base camp Shouchun should also bring out some new things. However, Yang Ji was disappointed.

It turns out that the ambition of these guys combined is not as great as that of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. However, this was not surprising to Yang Ji. After all, the Jiangnan aristocratic families are like this. I really don't know what else they would think of besides fighting among themselves and dividing Jiangnan.

"Why do I feel that he is a little disappointed?" Cao Cao looked at Yang Ji's back as he suddenly left, and said uncertainly, "Could it be us that he is disappointed in?" After all, Yang Ji had pointed out the key point, but they still didn't see the breaking point where Yang Ji was.

"This can't be. If he was disappointed in us, he would have shown it long ago. After all, we have fought several battles with him." Cheng Yu said to Zhuge Liang.

If Yang Ji hadn't been pressuring them, Cheng Yu and Cao Cao, who appeared to be evil on the outside but were actually evil on the inside, would never have gotten along well with Zhuge Liang, who appeared to be righteous on the outside but was actually righteous on the inside.

"I think the people he is disappointed with are not us, but the people on the opposite side." Zhuge Liang seemed not to hear Cheng Yu's strange words. After all, he was Liu Bei's direct descendant, and there was no need for him to play tricks with these surrendered generals.

However, if these two guys dare to push their luck further, Zhuge Liang will not be so easy to deal with. Apart from the experience gained over the years, how is he, Zhuge Liang, weaker than them?

In fact, if reality allowed, Zhuge Liang didn't want to become colleagues with these two guys. With his high moral character, he wanted to take action when he saw these two dark and evil guys.

Unfortunately, his moral quality is still too high. If it were Fa Zheng, who has a bad temper, he would definitely scold Cheng Yu when he heard Cheng Yu say such weird things.

It seems that fighting among civil officials is very rare these days, especially when Li You and Jia Xu are always showing off the characteristics of Liangzhou.

"What's there to be disappointed about on the other side..." Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes. This Zhuge Liang was really not a simple person. He easily saw who Yang Ji was disappointed with. No wonder he could awaken his spiritual talent at such a young age.

"There is really nothing worth being disappointed about on the other side. Zi Yu was disappointed because there were so many people on the other side, but they didn't come up with anything new to please him." Zhuge Liang said lightly. When it comes to understanding Yang Ji, Cheng Yu and Cao Cao are definitely not as good as him. After all, these two people are still unwilling to lower their heads to look at the people who live quietly.

After saying that, Zhuge Liang quietly looked at the node that Yang Ji had just pointed out, wondering why Yang Ji said that after destroying this node, Shouchun City’s defense system would collapse completely.

Compared to discussing this matter with Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, Zhuge Liang chose to think about it himself and then verify his ideas the next day.

After seeing Zhuge Liang immersed in thinking and ignoring them, Cheng Yu shrugged at Cao Cao, indicating that since others ignored him, he had no reason to take further action.

Cao Cao glanced at Zhuge Liang and shook his head slightly at Cheng Yu. Since Zhuge Liang did not accept the challenge, the matter ended there.

As expected, he is worthy of being the next generation core selected by Chen Xi. His calmness alone surpasses most people who are older than him.

How could Liu Da'er be so lucky? Picking up Chen Xi and Yang Ji was not enough, and now there was Zhuge Liang. I heard that there were two young people with their own characteristics in the Government Affairs Office.

It's really... I can't even feel jealous, Cao Cao sighed. There is no one in the next generation of the Cao family who can compare with the person in front of him.

Perhaps someone can awaken spiritual talents or achieve the state of out-of-body energy, but in the eyes of some people, these two things are just the beginning, and there is still an invisible distance from the true peak.
