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

Chapter 453 How do you know that I predicted your prediction of your prediction of your 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 the foot of Xiling City to provoke Liao Li, while Zhuge Liang led the remaining soldiers to find a place to set up camp.

During this period, it is unknown what Sima Yi said to Liao Li that made Liao Li very angry. However, Liao Li was not stupid enough to jump off the city wall to duel with Sima Yi. Instead, he stood on the city wall and cursed at Sima Yi.

From this we can see that although Liao Li's military strategy was somewhat rubbish, he was still able to recognize his own strength. He knew that if he jumped off the city wall to duel with Sima Yi, Sima Yi might directly order his arrest.

Although Liao Li is arrogant because of his talent, he is not just a show-off, but a real talent. The fact that Jiangxia County was swept by the trio in the past few days has made Liao Li realize one thing, that with the strength of Jiangxia County, it seems that he is no match for the three young men on the opposite side.

That’s right, if the three young men on the opposite side didn’t have someone supporting them, how could Liao Li have fallen to this point? If he had someone supporting him, he would definitely defeat the three young men on the opposite side!
Unfortunately, the confidence that Liao Li had finally rebuilt was shattered by Sima Yi, and he was now jumping up and down and swearing at Sima Yi.

"What do you think? I said that the only Xiling City left is Liao Gongyuan's pain point." Sima Yi said to Pang Tong with some complacency. It was really refreshing to see Liao Li's arrogant expression turn into anger.

"Yes, yes, the fact that there is only one Xiling City left is indeed his pain point, and the furious Liao Gongyuan is indeed a major attraction, but you haven't solved the problem of his refusal to fight." Pang Tong said helplessly. Although Liao Li's defense was broken by Sima Yi, he was still rational. Even though his defense was broken, he did not make any unnecessary moves that would affect his own safety.

Sima Yi's face froze. After hearing what Pang Tong said, he began to feel that his story of Liao Li's defense being broken was not worth mentioning. He only broke the defense but did not trick him out of the city. It was simply a failure in his verbal battle.

"Okay, let's go back first and make plans tomorrow." Pang Tong called to Sima Yi. It was not possible to tell now whether Sima Yi's statement that Liao Li's defense was broken had any effect. Anyway, Pang Tong believed that Sima Yi had already succeeded in shaking the will of Liao Li and the army defending the city.

A wise man like Liao Li is definitely a determined person. How could he be easily broken down by some verbal attacks and then lose his mind and rush out to fight with the person who scolded him?

Compared with the 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 those of the above people. Even if there is a gap, it will not be a huge gap.

What really makes them different is their vision. First-class wise men like Guo Jia and Xun Yu always focus on the world rather than the gains and losses of a city or a place.

But the second-rate wise men like Liao Li were different. Their focus was on dividing the land, that is, to establish their own rule, rather than thinking about great unification.

This difference in vision led to the fact that their abilities were similar, but their performances were very different. Just like elite talents, their own abilities were the basic qualities, and their vision was the talent multiplier. When the talent multiplier was higher, the effect that could be exerted would be closer to the limit.

Can you say that Liao Li's current performance is really his limit? No, that is not his limit. If Liao Li really wants to make the trio fall hard, he should not concentrate his forces in the city, but should pull them out to fight mobile warfare or some other tactics.

Jiangxia County is densely covered with waterways. Even if Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong commanded 30,000 elite Danyang soldiers, they could not do anything to Liao Li. What's more, there were some warships in the Jiangxia naval base that Jiang Qin did not take away. If Liao Li wanted to hide and harass the trio, it would be a simple matter.

Moreover, since they have ships, they don't need to worry about logistics when fighting guerrilla warfare. They can just load the supplies onto the ship and take them wherever they fight. Of course, this is just imagination. It would be great if war was really that simple.

"Damn, Kong Ming, you set up the camp pretty well. At least in my opinion, I can't find any obvious loopholes. And isn't the speed a bit fast?" Sima Yi said with some surprise after returning to where Zhuge Liang had set up camp. He thought he would need to help Zhuge Liang set up camp after returning to the camp, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Liang had already completed the camp, and it was set up quite well.

"To be honest, although your military ability is not as good as your domestic affairs, your camping skills are still very good." Pang Tong also praised, and then saw Guan Hai standing next to Zhuge Liang, and added casually: "Didn't you ask General Guan to help?"

Guan Hai quickly stepped forward to refute the rumor, saying: "General Pang, you are joking. The camps in front of you were arranged by Military Advisor Zhuge himself and his subordinates. It has nothing to do with me. If there is any connection, it is probably that Military Advisor Zhuge invited me to check how the camp is arranged." If Pang Tong misunderstood this, Guan Hai would not be able to hand in 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, you misunderstood. I didn't blame Kong Ming for 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 surprised. Was he too sensitive recently and couldn't even tell the difference between a teasing and the truth?

"Okay." Seeing Pang Tong say this, Guan Hai believed it. After all, these people had no reason to deceive him. What's more, before meeting Zhuge Liang, Guan Hai had spent some time with Pang Tong and Sima Yi, and he had a good impression of these two people.

"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 followed Yu Jin to fight in Yuzhou, Guan Hai was a very easy-going person.

"General Guan needs to report to his superiors." Sima Yi said unhappily. If Pang Tong misunderstood that he was helping Zhuge Liang, it would cause a conflict between the two of them. It would be very troublesome for him to report to Yang Ji then.

"Uh...oh - I know what's going on." Pang Tong suddenly realized. Guan Hai was anxious to explain to him. It turned out that he was afraid that he and Zhuge Liang would have misunderstandings, and he would not be able to report it to his superiors.

"General Guan doesn't trust the relationship between us very much." Pang Tong sighed and said, "Or is it that we are not showing it very clearly?"

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi looked at each other, then looked away in disdain. Given their current relationship, it was no wonder that Guan Hai distrusted their relationship. "I'll go check if there's anything else that needs to be replenished in the camp." Zhuge Liang said and left without even looking at Pang Tong, who was embarrassed.

"I'll go back and think carefully about what words to use to break Liao Gongyuan's defense." Sima Yi also said this, and then left the scene, leaving Pang Tong alone who was rolling his eyes.

"I should also think about what siege tactics to use tomorrow." Pang Tong thought about it 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 military officers had all left, leaving only the soldiers on guard at the camp gate, silently staring at the large area in front of the camp gate to prevent any enemy troops from getting here. There were also observers on the watchtower who were also staring at Xiling City not far away, so that if anything happened there, they could issue a warning in time.

Guan Hai, who had returned to his tent, was muttering: "Should I remind them that there might be a night attack tonight?
But with the wisdom shown by the three of them, they should have thought of this. After all, taking advantage of the enemy's fatigue and launching a direct night attack is also a common way to win.

Although night raids are a bit demanding for the troops involved, a county governor who occupies a county should be able to find some observers who can see at night. After all, there are so many rivers and lakes here, so they should be able to eat fish often, right? "

Guan Hai originally didn't know that eating fish could effectively relieve night blindness, but after following Yang Ji for a long time, he always gained some strange knowledge, night blindness was just one of them.

The three people who were busy with their own things had no idea what Guan Hai was struggling with. After all, in their opinion, although Liao Li's military strategy was not very good, his wisdom should not be underestimated. For a difficult tactical operation like a night attack, if there was no operator with sufficient skills, it would be easy to get themselves trapped and fail.

"Forget it, let's be prepared, just in case those three young men really haven't thought about this." Guan Hai sighed. He was sent here by Yang Ji just to fill in the gaps for the trio.

Guan Hai found Zhuge Liang and told him that the enemy might launch a night attack. Obviously, Zhuge Liang had not considered the possibility that the enemy would take this opportunity to launch a night attack.

"General Guan, are you sure that the enemy will launch a night attack tonight?" Zhuge Liang asked Guan Hai somewhat awkwardly. He really had not considered the possibility that the enemy would launch a night attack. Or rather, he had thought of this possibility, but he took the initiative to rule it out. After all, they were all smart people, so how could they not judge that the enemy had predicted their own prediction?

However, Guan Hai came to remind him that the enemy might launch a night attack, which made Zhuge Liang a little uneasy. He did not expect that Liao Li on the opposite side would play against the rules and choose to attack the enemy camp at this time.

"This... If you ask me, I have no way to be sure." Guan Hai said speechlessly. What he had just said was just his speculation. He was not a wise man who could draw the correct answer based on certain traces. He could come to this conclusion now thanks to his intuition and experience gained from surviving hundreds of battles.

Moreover, he has already given his own judgment about the enemy. As for what to do next, that is Zhuge Liang's business. Aren't these the things that a military commander and a military advisor should do? What's more, Zhuge Liang now holds both positions, and the burden on him is even heavier.

To be honest, Guan Hai's impression of Zhuge Liang has declined a bit now. Zhuge Liang's performance along the way is not like that of a wise man with everything in his hands, nor like a military commander who prepares for a rainy day. Instead, he seems like a rookie who has just started out.

Well, it seems that the three people Yang Ji asked him to look after are indeed newbies. Guan Hai glanced at Zhuge Liang who was in deep thought. Maybe he had too high expectations for the trio. After all, they were young people recommended by Yang Ji. It would be strange if Guan Hai didn't have some expectations.

However, Guan Hai felt that he could lower his expectations for the trio. After all, they were just teenagers. No matter how smart they were, they could not make up for the experience that came with age. Experience was something that could only be lost through 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 the same achievements as these two people at their current age.

"Someone, go and notify the two military officers to come over to discuss the matter." After a brief thought, Zhuge Liang decided to call Sima Yi and Pang Tong over to discuss the possibility of a night attack from the enemy.

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.

However, he did not expect that Guan Hai would actually judge 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 to discuss it.

Guan Hai stood quietly aside and watched Zhuge Liang's operations. He first shook his head and then nodded. He shook his head because Zhuge Liang did not arrange the defense at the first time, and he nodded because Zhuge Liang knew to find someone to discuss how to deal with the matter when he was unable to determine the situation.

Just when Guan Hai was about to remind Zhuge Liang to strengthen the defense at night, Zhuge Liang began to arrange personnel to strengthen the night patrols. Guan Hai remained silent and reduced his 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 tent. Zhuge Liang did not waste time and directly told them Guan Hai's judgment.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's story, Sima Yi and Pang Tong were a little stunned. They never expected that Liao Li would let the soldiers raid the enemy camp at night when it was completely dark.

"Is there supposed to be dark clouds covering the moon tonight, or am I blind and can't see the moonlight shining in the sky?" Pang Tong said as he was about to walk out of the tent to see whether it was the silver moon hanging high in the sky or the dark curtain covering the sky.
