Chapter 435: Zhuge vs. Zhao Hao

Zhao Hao is already a hundred years old. If it were not for the blessing of force from the realm of land gods, he would never have participated in this battle.

After all, we are old, how long can we live?

If it were left to ordinary people, I'm afraid they would have chosen to live their old lives and not mix with the worldly way of life.

But this old man spent half of his life in the military and half of his life at home. When he is getting old, he still wants to return to the glory.

Just this once is enough.

Even if the Tang Dynasty's 500,000-strong army marched in a hurry, it was impossible to reach the Niutoushan battlefield in a very short time.

Zhao Hao was afraid that those in the Wei State would launch a war against the front line at all costs, so he first led 30,000 cavalry to Niutoushan.

It only took five days to reach the border of Niutoushan.

Zuo Buqun, Wang Yunhe, Ye Xiaochen, and Li Taixuan greeted Zhao Hao's arrival in the rear area early.

Facing this big brother, they still dare not show the slightest disrespect in their hearts.

Also accompanying him was Deng Qi.

Although he is not the Nine Dragons General, he is a military general of the Tang Dynasty after all. As a general of the Tang Dynasty, it is a matter of honor to be able to meet the military god of the Tang Dynasty, even though this military god is already a bit old.

When Zhao Hao approached the Tang military camp, he did not ride a horse, but chose to walk down and enjoy some scenery along the way.

After all, he has never left home since he was ordered by His Majesty to take care of himself at home.

This is a great mental torture for a person.

Seeing the Tang troops lined up in several lines from a distance, Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It's rare that these people still remember me at such a long age.

After Zuo Buqun and others saw Zhao Hao, they quickly came to him and dismounted, and they all bowed and said: "Meet the old general!"

Just these few words already represent their high respect.

Even Deng Qi, who didn't know him very well, followed everyone else's example and bowed deeply.

"It turns out it's you guys. I still remember when I was young, you guys were still little kids, hanging around me all day long. I didn't expect that, in a trance, you are now so old and have the ability to stand on your own.

"

Zhao Hao's qualifications are very old, and those Jiulong generals who were in the same batch with him are basically dead.

Zuo Buqun and others felt a little embarrassed when they heard these words, but they were not angry because in their hearts, nothing this old man said was too much.

"Old General, it's windy here, let's talk about it after we return to camp?" Zuo Buqun made a 'please' gesture.

Zhao Hao nodded and said as he walked: "On the way here, I thought about a few battles between you and the Wei army. The momentum was good at the beginning, but later on, I became more and more irritable. What did I teach you back then?

It seems that you have completely forgotten the truth that a general should be calm."

This sentence was said to Zuo Buqun.

He was a little ashamed, and just when he was about to say something, he heard the senior commenting on the others one by one, "Yun He, you like to use tricks in wars, but plans are never static. Sometimes, plans must be defeated in the face of absolute power.

Worthless."

"General Ye, you just have a hot temper. You don't have much other problems. However, this problem is your fatal point."

"Tai Xuan just came here. He hasn't fought with the Wei army with real swords and guns, but he has just lost a few battles in a daze. Doesn't he feel uncomfortable? It doesn't matter. Now that the old man is here, he will never be in a situation like the one before.

It happened again."

In a few words, he convinced everyone what he said.

In fact, to a large extent, I still rely on my own prestige.

However, he knew very well that the purpose of his coming here was not to be a general, but to be the commander-in-chief, so he had to declare his initiative to them from the beginning.

It seemed that the effect was pretty good, as these juniors did not contradict him verbally.

After the Kowloon generals finished their comments, the old general looked at Deng Qi seriously, and said only one sentence, and pointed out his weaknesses, "More than enough to defend, not enough to make progress. If things go on like this, it will be difficult to achieve great things."

Although this sentence is a bit serious, it is also a symbol that the old general is optimistic about Deng Qi.

Deng Qi was slightly startled, and bowed to the old general with sincerity: "Junior, I understand."

When they first met, they figured out their own weaknesses in fighting. This is a very scary thing.

If I were to have a fight with the old general in front of me, I would probably have no chance of winning.

After all, my impression of him only stayed at the level passed down by common people through word of mouth.

As for him, he has probably already researched himself thoroughly.

"I am very sad about the death of the three generals Kong Ren, Jiang Qianqiu, and Xia Ji, but in a war, no one is immortal. The times are bad, so there is no one to blame. Next, I will lead you to victory."

This sentence actually tells them directly and clearly that we can no longer be scattered like before, we must have a backbone, and this backbone can only be me.

The four Kowloon generals had absolutely no objections to Deng Qi.

They also know the reasons for the defeat in previous wars.

Now that such an old general who is proficient in the art of war is taking the lead, they are actually happy to see it happen.

If we win the battle, we will all enjoy military merit. If we lose the battle, the old general will take the blame.

Anyway, he is so old, and it seems that he will not live for a few more years, so he should not stand in his way.

"By the way, get ready and tell Zhuge Liang of the Wei army that I have an appointment with him to discuss Taoism over tea in front of the two armies."

The old general's voice shocked everyone.

Talking about Taoism with tea?

Zhuge Liang, the prime minister and military advisor of the enemy?

Isn't this a joke?

"What? Do you have any different opinions?" Zhao Hao spoke again.

Everyone looked at each other, and then they all said that they had no unnecessary opinions at all.

Immediately afterwards, the Tang army sent an envoy to tell the Wei army about the incident.

Zhao Changqing and others had doubts and were reluctant to let Zhuge Liang go to the meeting.

But he went anyway.

The two armies each mobilized ten thousand troops and met in an open field.

Zhuge Liang is sitting on a four-wheeled vehicle, while Zhao Hao is leaning on a cane.

The two of them coincidentally did not bring any attendants.

After the meeting, the first thing Zhao Hao said to Zhuge Liang was, "You look very young."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Old General, you are still a precious sword."

Zhao Hao said: "I thought you wouldn't come. After all, after all, I am also a land god. It will be easy to kill you."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Old General, can you believe it? If you attack Liang, you will definitely not survive today."

Zhao Hao squinted his eyes, looked at the land immortal in a golden armor in the distance, and murmured: "Believe."

That person was none other than Zhao Changqing, and he was always watching the meeting between the two.

Once any problem occurs, Zhuge Liang can be killed immediately.

"Is that person the Emperor of Wei?"

Zhao Hao asked.

Zhuge Liang nodded, "Exactly."

"As expected of the emperor of the ages, he is much stronger than our emperor." Zhao Hao could keenly feel that the aura revealed by Zhao Changqing was astonishing.

"Old general, please come here, what do you mean?" Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly, and the clouds were calm and the wind was gentle.

Zhao Hao said: "I just want to see what the man who repeatedly defeated our Tang army looks like."

Zhuge Liang laughed loudly and said, "General, at such an old age, he still has to work hard on state affairs. It really makes people feel distressed!"

Zhao Hao said helplessly: "The country has no good generals, unlike your great Wei Dynasty which has so many talents."

The two have been chatting, but from the conversation, they are testing each other, eager to understand what kind of person the other person is.

Understanding people's hearts and knowing what's going on in war are the first and most essential factors in fighting a war.

Unfortunately, both of them have something to hide.

Today's meeting made each other clearly feel that the other party may be the most powerful enemy in this life.

The impression that this old general had on Zhuge Liang was that he was very secretive.

Even when facing Li Yijun, Zhuge Liang had no such idea.

After the two returned to camp, a soldier asked the old general, "Marshal, why do you insist on arguing with Zhuge Liang?"

When the two met, the people who were under the greatest pressure were not the two of them, but the generals of both sides who were watching from a very distance.

Some people's palms are sweaty.

Because if you are not careful, today will lead to a shocking war.

Zhao Hao heard the voice and said: "I just want to see if this Zhuge Liang has the same style as when I was young. Now it seems that compared to my peak period, he is no less impressive."

His words deeply shocked the surrounding Tang army generals.

No one knows who Zhao Hao is better than them.

Legends about him are still circulating in the Tang Dynasty.

But the old general actually said that Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Wei State, was as generous as him.

How can this not be shocking enough?
