Finally, the demonstration of the chariot came to an end amidst the endless discussions among the people.
Early tomorrow morning, the chariot will drive to the front position - Lu Meng, Zhu Huan and others, who had already set off early, have already begun to perform their respective tasks.
Including Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai also participated in the war.
Facing a common enemy, military generals do not have the same multi-faceted entanglements as civilian officials.
As long as they are given a suitable reason, they will prioritize fighting, so Yi Xiaotian has never disliked these people.
Even if they are against themselves.
——
In the evening, after seeing off the last group of civilians, Yi Xiaotian gave some instructions to the soldiers of the newly established chariot camp.
Sun Quan and Lu Su were watching the whole process.
"Just judging from Mr.'s conversation, it's hard to imagine that he is just a businessman..."
"You still think he is a businessman? Someone who can build a monster like a chariot... The businessman is just his identity in disguise..."
Today, or in other words, starting from a certain point in time, Lu Su's impression of Yi Xiaotian has been continuously improving, and today, this change has reached its peak——
Now Lu Su has no objections to Yi Xiaotian. He can see that Yi Xiaotian really wants to help them win this battle, so there is no problem. They are all teammates in the same trench, so what can he do?
Is it possible to engage in such behavior as fighting among each other?
The example of Zhang Zhao is right in front of us. Lu Su is a person who understands the general situation. This is why, in the eyes of many people, he usually has a very positive image and has friends all over the world.
But Sun Quan showed more resentment.
The shock he experienced today really made him unable to hold his head high in front of Yi Xiaotian.
He even somewhat understood why there were always so many people circling around Yi Xiaotian. He did have that ability...
But this does not mean that Sun Quan can let go of his grudge——
After all, this guy kidnapped his sister!
While Sun Quan sneered at Yi Xiaotian, he looked at the row of chariots with unconcealable longing...
"But...I think now that we have a good chance of winning..."
"Even if Liu Bei has guys like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong around him, they are definitely no match for Yi Xiaotian..."
This is Sun Quan's real feeling.
He didn't think that Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others had the ability to build such a chariot.
What's more, Yi Xiaotian's ability is not just about making tanks...
There's no chance that some guy with strange abilities will pop up next to him...
Just when Sun Quan was muttering, Yi Xiaotian finally finished speaking. Seeing that there was nothing else going on around him, Yi Xiaotian brought Huang Yueying to Sun Quan and Lu Su.
"Why haven't you two returned to the city yet?"
"Are you waiting for me?"
Yi Xiaotian said with a teasing smile.
"Of course I have something to tell you..."
"Then let's go?"
Hearing Sun Quan's somewhat unhappy answer, Yi Xiaotian was not surprised. On the contrary, Yi Xiaotian felt that after today's exchange, Sun Quan would have some changes in his opinion, right?
Yi Xiaotian motioned for everyone to leave, and Sun Quan followed without objection.
——
The sun has set, and this time at night, except for some vendors who are still closing their stalls, there are no other people waiting on the street.
The four of them did not ride in a carriage, but just walked leisurely on the road. Compared with the tense situation outside Wu County, this kind of scene was quite rare.
Finally, Sun Quan spoke. He didn't hide anything, he just turned his head and asked Yi Xiaotian:
"I don't want to hear lies. Can you tell me now, what are your chances of winning?"
Lu Su was shocked by Sun Quan's words... he looked at the two of them with some worry, but... he actually wanted to know the answer to Sun Quan's question.
Yi Xiaotian has been planning this for a long time, this is a fact.
But what was displayed in front of the two of them was this chariot.
In addition, they know almost nothing about Yi Xiaotian's plan, and they don't even know what Yi Xiaotian ultimately wants to achieve...
"If you only want to talk about victory...well..."
Yi Xiaotian still didn't have any surprises. While leading Huang Yueying as if he were his daughter, he rubbed his chin again, and then said a number:
"It depends on how you two define victory. If you just defeat Liu Bei, you have a 100% chance of winning."
There was no ripple in his voice, but the meaning behind his words made Sun Quan choke and couldn't help but cough violently.
On the other hand, Lu Su seemed to be used to Yi Xiaotian often saying such unconventional words, so he didn't react too violently. Of course... he was still surprised.
"Is Liu Bei so vulnerable?"
Sun Quan really didn't expect Yi Xiaotian to say such big words.
After taking into account the nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses that Zhu Ran took away a few days ago, the number of troops that can be guarded near Wu County now is only 30,000.
Zhu Ran did it to delay time for everyone, and also to make Zhuge Liang unable to retreat easily, but even so...even if Zhuge Liang was really dragged to Wu Commandery to fight, in addition to the infantry, the opponent also had a very terrifying navy?
How to solve this?
"As I said before, you two, it is not difficult to defeat Liu Bei. What is difficult is to annihilate Liu Bei's entire army on the land of Jiangdong. Do you understand this truth?"
"Well... it's because Zhuge Liang is here, right? With him here... it's hard to imagine that Liu Bei will be defeated by us until his entire army is annihilated..."
"Zijing, why are you thinking along the lines of this guy's lies?"
Sun Quan felt a little unhappy when he saw Lu Su accepting Yi Xiaotian's words seriously.
"General Sun, the chariot is just one of our trump cards. We can't throw the chariot card away until the critical moment."
"I can only tell you that what I want is to catch up with Liu Bei's trip. Otherwise, if Liu Bei is returned to Jingnan, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again."
"Moreover, you two may not know that our real winner is not the battlefield on Wu County's side, but..."
Yi Xiaotian showed a smile that showed he had everything under control, leaving Lu Su and Sun Quan confused.
However, as he said, facing a powerful enemy like Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang this time, if they cannot defeat them on multiple battlefields at the same time, it is simply a fantasy to completely defeat the opponent.
The fact is that Yi Xiaotian has already arranged the decisive move, and now it is a long period of waiting for the net to be closed.
——
Back to Jianye.
After confirming that the war situation was irreversible, Zhuge Liang finally chose to slow down and prepare to mobilize the navy to attack from both sides and use the greatest strength to destroy Jianye City in one fell swoop.
At the same time, an urgent letter sent from near Le'an also arrived in Zhuge Liang's hands.
