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

Chapter 454 The more I review the situation, the more I feel I was really stupid*
Pang Tong lifted the door curtain, and a ray of moonlight took advantage of the opportunity when no one was paying attention and quietly slipped into Zhuge Liang's tent. However, only this ray of moonlight would think that no one was paying attention to its behavior. In fact, its movements were all seen by everyone.

"Fuck, who blew away the dark clouds outside?" Pang Tong looked at the scenery outside with frost all over the sky and the silver moon hanging high in the sky, and couldn't help but screamed. The weather has changed.

"This guy Liao Li must have awakened his spiritual talent, otherwise he wouldn't be able to blow away the dark clouds in the sky." Sima Yi said with a grim face. Damn Liao Li, he was actually playing tricks on him during the day today.

"Quick, organize the troops for defense. The other side chose to blow away the dark clouds at this time, which means that they have begun a night attack." Zhuge Liang realized something and immediately ordered the soldiers who had already fallen asleep to wake up and let them be on guard against 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 loopholes and causing heavy losses to their own troops.

However, until dawn, Zhuge Liang's party, who had been on guard all night, did not wait for the enemy's night attack, which means that they had wasted the whole night and scared themselves.

"This is the enemy's strategy to tire us out. It's impossible that we are scaring ourselves. My spiritual talent has already responded last night. A wise man with spiritual talent has appeared on the opposite side." Pang Tong said with a very bad look.

"But, we did fall into a trap." Zhuge Liang's face looked a little bad. Because of what happened last night, they were forced to suspend the siege battle originally planned for today.

"Sure enough, those who can awaken their spiritual talents at this point in time are not easy to deal with." Sima Yi lamented how difficult the opposite Liao Li was.

"Okay, let's stop dwelling on this kind of thing. It's also our fault for lack of experience. We didn't realize at that time that the opponent's goal was to prevent us from getting a good 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 was a good lesson.

"Hehe, if our reaction wasn't more intense at that time, do you think the other side would have retreated without doing anything?" Pang Tong sneered. Liao Li was plotting something within a plan. If they had not ordered the army to take corresponding actions last night, or had not reacted 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 discussed what happened last night one after another. At the same time, they also sorted out the logic behind Liao Li's actions last night, which was to bully them because they were young and had no experience.

Although Liao Li is arrogant because of his talent, he really has something. Just by using his mental power to blow away the dark clouds in the sky, he was able to make the trio nervous for the whole night. His effort was almost 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, causing heavy losses to Zhuge Liang's side.

And if the trio had responded accordingly and their reaction speed was good, Liao Li would have retreated. After all, when Zhuge Liang swept across Jiangxia County before, he already knew that his troops were no match for Zhuge Liang's troops.

Moreover, the trio didn't even react last night and use their mental power to fight against Liao Li on a mental level. Instead, they foolishly ordered the troops to be prepared for a surprise attack, and they were bullied so badly.

If Yang Ji was present, he would probably use his own mental power to charge the opponent's mental power directly. Anyway, he would first destroy what the opponent was going to do, and then consider how to charge the opponent's troops as well.

Instead of just staying there stupidly like the trio and waiting for the enemy to come, that's not how you play the game of sitting back and waiting. The enemy is not stupid, how could they see the trap and step into it? Only a stupid commander can give such an order, of course, except for traps that must be stepped into.

All I can say is that this trio lost due to lack of experience. But that's also true, Liao Li is many years older than the trio, and he probably had enough experience a long time ago.

Guan Hai stood quietly by and watched the trio discuss the gains and losses of last night, while absorbing what he needed from it. It must be said that even though the trio lacked experience, they could still infer many things through their own wisdom that they would need to fight a hundred battles to realize.

Guan Hai sighed. He admitted that his judgment last night was too arbitrary. The trio just lacked experience. Ability was not a problem at all. As for the problem of not behaving like a wise man, that was because Guan Hai did not understand wise men. After all, his brain was not like that. How could he possibly understand what kind of creature a wise man was?

However, even though he acknowledged the trio's abilities, Guan Hai did not remind them what to do next. After all, the trio had already discussed what to do next, and the content of the discussion was basically in line with Guan Hai's experience.

"Then let's arrange the next action according to what we just discussed." Zhuge Liang ended the discussion among the three people, and then said to Guan Hai: "The patrol and defense of the next two days will be handed over to General Guan."

"No problem, you guys take a good rest these two days, I will arrange people to carry out the patrol." Guan Hai nodded. As for the battle, it was not convenient for Guan Hai to bring his subordinates to participate, but there was no problem in patrolling and defending the camp.

After seeing Guan Hai off, Zhuge Liang said tiredly, "We should have asked General Guan last night, otherwise it wouldn't have turned out like this. After all, General Guan is the most experienced person here, and he is also the military advisor sent to us by Zi Yu."

Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong all knew one thing very well: the purpose of Yang Ji sending Guan Hai over was not for them to rely on the fighting power of Guan Hai and his subordinates to win victory, but for him to serve as a military adviser to the three of them. Guan Hai's rich battlefield experience was what the three of them needed most.

[“What’s the point of talking about this now that things have already happened?” Pang Tong habitually choked Zhuge Liang, then sighed and said, “I guess General Guan was already prepared to answer our questions at that time, but it’s a pity that none of us were able to figure it out.”

"Speaking of this is to remind everyone not to forget General Guan, the experienced veteran." Zhuge Liang said helplessly. It was because they trusted their abilities too much that they were tricked by the opponent.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't think that just because you are our boss temporarily, you can preach to us. Do you think we still need you to teach us this?" Pang Tong said to Zhuge Liang viciously. It was really troublesome. Zhuge Liang actually dared to come and lecture him.

Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched. Pang Tong was a fool. He was just reminding them not to forget the existence of Guan Hai, the military advisor, and to consult Guan Hai more often. But Pang Tong defined this as preaching. Who was the one who got into trouble? Although Sima Yi did not participate in it, he did not join in. Instead, he hid aside and silently watched Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's passionate fight, which eventually led to the three of them parting unhappily. 】——Fictional historian left——

……

Today is a cloudless night, so Liao Li does 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 is here again. He came to see if there is any chance to repeat last night's operation.

[It's a pity that there are no clouds tonight, otherwise I could repeat what I did last night and give them a surprise.] Looking at the campsite that was clearly visible under the cascading moonlight, Liao Li thought to himself.

"Swish!" 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.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Before Liao Li could react to how his position was exposed, more arrows flew towards their hiding place, and many soldiers brought by Liao Li were shot dead on the spot.

"Retreat!" Liao Li made a prompt decision and shouted loudly. Liao Li had already been prepared for the situation where the night attack failed and he was trapped instead.

The reason why he shouted loudly to let the enemy know his position was to let his soldiers know that he, the commander, was not dead. If he did not let his soldiers know of his existence in the middle of the night, this night attacking army would probably be dispersed on the spot.

As for the fact that his shouting would expose 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 without a strong enough archery skill level, it might not be possible to penetrate his mental barrier.

The wise man who can activate the mental barrier is so arrogant in the face of the arrows.

Soon, Liao Li led his troops back to Xiling City, but 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 at least hundreds of people would have been killed or injured before he could return to the city.

"Strange, why is the opponent's defensive style like a different person tonight?" Liao Li was a little confused. When he confronted the three young men before, he didn't feel that they were very experienced.

However, the group of people he encountered tonight was different. Liao Li was sure that the group of people he had just encountered were definitely elite, and the leading general must be a veteran who had experienced many battles.

However, Liao Li had a question. Since there were veterans in the camp, why did the defense of the opposing camp last night seem like it was commanded by a novice?
"Huh, you guys are so confident." After figuring out what was going on, Liao Li's anger suddenly bubbled up. It turned out that the purpose of Yuzhou sending the trio out was to let them accumulate experience, and for this purpose they even sent a veteran to serve as a military advisor.

You know, Liu Bei was preparing for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, but he sent an old general to serve as a military advisor to the trio. What did this mean? Did he think that he could defeat Yuan Shao and Jizhou even without going all out?
Although he didn't know much about the strength of Yuan Shao's rule, Yuan Shao still had the support of various major families. If Liu Bei didn't give his all and take it seriously, he would most likely be overthrown by Yuan Shao. Moreover, Yang Ji was not in Yanzhou, so this possibility was even greater.

Liao Li sighed. The above information was just his speculation based on the existing information. As for the specific situation, it was not something that he, a remnant party member, should consider.

What's more, after the fall of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Shouchun, his intelligence system had been paralyzed. If he wanted to obtain intelligence from other areas, he could only get it from those merchants running around.

Because of Liu Bei's special regulations for merchants, almost all merchants of the Han Dynasty would go to Liu Bei's rule to trade, and then bring the goods back to their familiar places to carry out business activities. Therefore, those merchants who traveled all over the country knew a lot about what was happening in other places. After all, doing business always requires communicating with people, and you can always hear some news from others.

The reason Liao Li was able to think of obtaining information from businessmen was by chance. Otherwise, with his arrogance, how could he have thought of obtaining intelligence through businessmen?

However, merchants are merchants after all. No matter how well-informed they are, the information they know is only what the local people have already known. Some of the information is even false information deliberately released by local princes to confuse other spies.

If Liao Li was not capable enough and had no family support behind him, it would be difficult for him to restore a more realistic situation from all the true and false information.

"Since you want to use me as a touchstone, then come and give it a try and see if your young people can withstand my test." Liao Li turned around grimly to look at Zhuge Liang's military camp, snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and returned to the government office.

"General Guan, what's the situation?" Zhuge Liang hurried forward and asked Guan Hai. As expected, Liao Li came again tonight.

"After I shot a wave of arrows at their hiding place, they chose to retreat." Guan Hai shook his head. He didn't expect that just a round of arrows could scare the enemy away.

"Run away?" Pang Tong said in surprise. He didn't expect things 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 disturb their rest.

"The scouts reported that they have returned to the city. I guess they won't leave the city tonight." Guan Hai said calmly. Would anyone not send scouts to follow them?

Pang Tong was silent. He was so confused last night that he didn't even think of sending scouts to Xiling City to investigate Liao Li's movements. After all, Liao Li was with troops, and the noise he made in and out of the city gate must be quite loud.
