Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 219
In the battle outside the ancient city, although Liu Yu escaped successfully, he was defeated by Li Tong in the end.If Liu Yu hadn't shot and killed Li Xiong, I'm afraid Li Tongjun's morale would have skyrocketed.And even if Liu Yu shot and killed Li Xiong, Li Tongjun's morale also picked up a lot, which was much better than the previous slump.

But even so, Liu Yu didn't care too much, because he knew that no matter how high the morale of Li Tongjun's army was, it would be impossible to break through the ancient city.It can be said that the ancient city has long been invincible, and unless Liu Yu made a big mistake, Li Tong would not have a chance.

This is where Li Tong was troubled. He swore in front of Cao Ren that he would definitely break through the ancient city, otherwise he would be willing to be punished.But now, in several battles, although he didn't have much loss, he couldn't win the ancient city in one go.

He also thought about asking Cao Ren to increase his troops, and he was not ashamed about this, and he was not afraid of being laughed at by his colleagues.But he didn't do it because he knew it was useless, and Cao Ren probably wouldn't increase his troops.

It wasn't that Cao Ren didn't want to increase his troops, or that he deliberately made things difficult for him. In fact, Zhang Xiu sent troops suddenly and attacked Cao Ren's camp several times.Although it didn't cause much damage, it made Cao Ren vigilant.

Cao Ren also knew that Zhang Xiu was unlikely to fight him desperately, but this was when he had enough troops.If he increases Li Tong's troops and makes the battalion insufficient, Zhang Xiu will definitely attack even more frantically.He knew Zhang Xiu's character, and knew that the other party was like a wolf on the prairie, not so easy to deal with.

This is where Li Tong is troubled. He can neither increase his troops to break through the ancient city, nor retreat, so he just guards outside the ancient city in such an embarrassing manner.

In fact, not only Li Tong was troubled, but Liu Yu was also troubled.Li Tong was distressed that he could not advance or retreat, and Liu Yu was also distressed that he could not advance or retreat.

Since the battle outside the city, there have been several news from Shangcai, which outline the increasingly difficult situation in Shangcai.Naturally, it also made Liu Yu more anxious.

But Liu Yu could only be anxious, and there was nothing he could do.He had long wanted to destroy Li Tong, and then return to aid Shang Cai.But the last battle made him wake up and realize that Li Tong is not so easy to deal with.

Unable to eliminate Li Tong, and unable to lead an army to rescue Shangcai, Liu Yu naturally frowned every day and was distressed.But just yesterday, he suddenly frowned, as if he had come up with some scheme.

It turned out that he was thinking about the rescue in the backyard yesterday, walked back and forth for more than an hour, then slapped his forehead fiercely, and said to himself: "Stupid, I am really stupid. Why do we have to beat Li to rescue Shang Cai?" Tong. I secretly sent a team to rescue Shangcai, so how would Li Tong know? And even if he knew, so what, the ancient city is so well-defended, without a team, Li Tong probably wouldn't be able to attack."

Having figured this out, Liu Yu couldn't help smiling, shaking his eyebrows, and continued: "When I solve Shangcai's crisis, and then lead the army to fight back against Li Tong, maybe I can defeat him. But... I'm afraid , The returning reinforcements were dragged to Shangcai, and then Li Tong learned about it. If that happens, both Shangcai and the ancient city will be in danger!"

Alas, wait a little longer, think about it again, it's really not possible, and I can only do this.

Thinking of the bad things, Liu Yu couldn't help shaking his head in distress, and returned to the previous look of frowning.

Just when Liu Yu was distressed again, Li Tong was receiving someone with a smile on his face.The person he met was nothing but an ordinary literati.

But this ordinary literati has an unusual identity - an aide, Ji Ling's aide!
This aide brought Li Tong the truth about Shangcai, and at the same time brought Ji Ling's "friendship", and even hinted how Li Tong should break through the ancient city.

After hearing this, Li Tong had a happy expression on his face, but after the staff was invited down, the happy expression on his face suddenly turned into a sneer.

"Hehe, this is definitely Ji Ling's trick." Li Tong said with a sneer, thinking about what the staff said just now, "It's a good plan, but Ji Ling did it, or it was done for me, then Never believable."

The aide suggested to Li Tong that Ji Ling was willing to form an alliance with him and defeat Liu Yu together.He also said that Liu Yu must know about Shangcai's situation, and as long as Li Tong acted as if he was retreating, Liu Yu would definitely send troops back to help.At that time, Li Tong can take down the ancient city in one fell swoop.Afterwards, the staff said respectfully that when General Li broke through the ancient city, he must send troops to help.

This strategy is not bad. Even if Liu Yu had insight into Li Tong's false retreat, he would probably send troops to Cai.And at that time, maybe he could really break through the ancient city.However, when he thought that this was Ji Ling's trick, he felt that there must be a conspiracy in it.

After thinking about it, but unable to think of a reason, Li Tong couldn't help hesitating, thinking whether he could implement this plan.But when he thought of Ji Ling's cunning, he decided not to use this trick for the time being, just being so stiff with Liu Yu.

In fact, the reason why Ji Ling advised Li Tong was also because of the matter of Shangcai.This plan is not to help Li Tong capture the ancient city, but to lure Liu Yu so that he can ambush Liu Yu halfway.Then, he pretended to be Liu Yujun and cheated on Shangcai.

Although he didn't know if he could persuade Li Tong, if he could ambush Liu Yu, and even if he could successfully cheat Shang Cai, Ji Ling still thought about the following plan.To be precise, this is a big plan, a big plan that Ji Ling and everyone thought hard about.

It can be seen from this that Ji Ling is indeed a great talent.Of course, his talent wasn't enough to come up with the plan.The main planner of this plan is not him, but a person he asked for advice.That man had no intention of helping Ji Ling, but was persecuted by Ji Ling.

But he said that if Shangcai was captured, Ji Ling planned to continue to pretend to be Liu Yujun and attack Li Tong's camp.Then, fraudulently open or break through the ancient city.

In this way, the whole of Runan will fall into his hands, and he will become a famous general in the world and a great hero under Yuan Shu's subordinates.

How could Ji Ling resist such a temptation?
But this plan involves too much and is not easy to implement.But Ji Ling was unwilling to implement it, so he asked people to contact Li Tong.In fact, Li Tong was not needed for this plan, but Ji Ling chose Li Tong instead.

The two of them have been fighting for several months, and it can be said that they know each other very well.Ji Ling knew that even if he told Li Tong about this plan, Li Tong would not believe him, but he would not be able to come up with his own plan.And he also knew that with Li Tong's cautious temperament, he would definitely be able to hold his breath at first, but he might still choose to use this strategy in the end.

Don't worry, Ji Ling is not worried at all now, but full of confidence.Although his eyes are now on Runan, his heart has already flown to Huainan.He was thinking, when he returns with the victory, he must persuade the lord to accept that great sage.

That great sage is really amazing!
