Chapter 1,199 It’s easy to hide from an open gun and hard to defend against a hidden arrow
"General He, how is the battle situation outside the city?"
Fei Zhan and Peng Hu, who hurried from outside the corridor, walked straight into the handsome tent inside Poyang Waiguo.
In fact, it is indeed a bit strange for two Shanyue people to appear in the Jiangdong soldiers' camp.
But just by looking at the non-surprised looks of the soldiers outside the camp, you can tell that they have long been used to it.
No matter what everyone has experienced before, at least now, they are comrades fighting side by side.
"Well, you two are back already? Thank you for your work as scouts. Don't worry about the battle situation outside the city. The density of the enemy's attack on the city is not high. With the 10,000 men in the city, it is more than enough to resist their strong attack."
The person who spoke was He Qi. At the moment, he was wearing military armor and reviewing the military documents sent by the military aircraft.
It would have been difficult for anyone to imagine such a combination half a year ago, right?
After all... Speaking of He Qi, what he is most praised for is that after Sun Ce crossed the river, he led the army to assist Sun Ce and Sun Quan, two generations of rulers. He went on several expeditions and defeated the Shanyue people who gathered in the middle of Jiangdong.
The army that had been dispatched by Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai to annihilate Shanyue near Yi County was He Qi's old army. Their hands were stained with the blood of thousands of Shanyue people, and at this moment, this army was supposed to be the largest of the Shanyue people.
The enemy's guy talked to the two Shanyue leaders in a frontal and majestic manner.
To say it's not surprising would be a lie.
It's just...that's what happened.
The reason is also very simple. Peng Hu and Fei Zhan are willing to cooperate with the Jiangdong people for the sake of Yi Xiaotian.
Not only to accomplish Yi Xiaotian's goal, but also to find a way out for all their remaining Shanyue people.
Others felt that Jiangdong was facing an existential crisis. Once it was defeated by Liu Bei and others, it would fall under Liu Bei's rule in the future.
But for the Shanyue people, their situation is even more difficult than that of ordinary people.
In the past six months, Peng Hu and Fei Zhan have been taking care of Yi Xiaotian, and through making ink and inkstones, the Shanyue people have finally been able to overcome their poverty.
But food and clothing is a problem, and the reality that they are truly discriminated against and prejudiced has not changed at all.
This feeling is especially obvious when communicating with merchants from nearby She County, Yi County, and distant places, whether Xindu or Poyang.
It's okay if the other party doesn't know their identity and just thinks they are a group of nouveau riche from a remote area. But if there is news that they are people from Linli Mountain, anyone will be cautious when dealing with them -
—
Yes, at some point, the identities of Peng Hu, Feizhan and the others had been spread out.
Even if they are recommended by Huang Xiang, many people still have prejudice against them.
All these factors prevent Shanyue people from changing the problem of living in the shadows.
The cooperation with He Qi was a cooperation deliberately arranged by Yi Xiaotian - in order to allow both parties to eliminate their prejudices against each other... to pave a safe road for the Shanyue people to reintegrate into Jiangdong in the future.
——
Of course, these are all things behind the cooperation, and now both parties are facing a huge test.
Pang Tong's siege was predicted by Yi Xiaotian long ago——
In other words, the strategy of inducing Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang to separate their forces was originally part of Yi Xiaotian's plan.
Nearly half a month ago, Yi Xiaotian pointed out what Pang Tong would choose if he divided his forces.
But now, the Jiangdong generals who had doubts about Yi Xiaotian's prediction before are now treating Yi Xiaotian like a god.
It turned out that this was how Yi Xiaotian planned to plot against them half a year in advance?
Many people have this idea in mind. Of course, if Yi Xiaotian himself knew that this group of people viewed him this way, he would probably be a little embarrassed, right?
He did predict the general direction of Jiang Dong and Liu Bei's cooperation again, but he only took it one step at a time.
Success is indispensable for the right time and place, as well as the help of Lu Xun and others - that is, Renhe.
But having said that, Yi Xiaotian has already reminded He Qi, Peng Hu, Feizhan and others that once Pang Tong really comes to attack the city, the most important thing that cannot be underestimated is Pang Tong's determination to come up with strange schemes.
If anyone around Yi Xiaotian could see how cautious Yi Xiaotian was when talking about Pang Tong, they would understand that Yi Xiaotian's attitude towards Pang Tong was to kill whenever possible and never let Pang Tong control the battle situation.
.
The reason is very simple...
It's not that Yi Xiaotian looks down on Zhuge Liang, it's that he is too familiar with Zhuge Liang - if Zhuge Liang knew how Yi Xiaotian thought about their relationship, Zhuge Liang might really vomit blood.
But the fact is that although the two have never really met, they have fought several times, and each time Yi Xiaotian won by a narrow margin. This led to Yi Xiaotian's way of thinking about Zhuge Liang.
It's very accurate.
But Pang Tong is different.
Even Yi Xiaotian was extremely shocked when he learned that Pang Tong had sneaked into Jingnan without anyone noticing.
why?
Because Yi Xiaotian has been in Jiangdong for more than half a year, he has not been idle in Jiangdong and flirting with Lu Lingqi all day long.
Before taking Zhao Yun in, Yi Xiaotian would rely on his skills in making horseshoes every once in a while to collect information about Jiangdong.
But even so, he never got any rumors about Pang Tong.
During the time when Yi Xiaotian stayed in Jiangdong, Pang Tong was like a transparent person, but when Yi Xiaotian left, Pang Tong suddenly appeared again.
This made Yi Xiaotian suspect that Pang Tong might have gotten some information that even he had not noticed.
When asked later about Lu Ji, who had a fairly good relationship with Pang Tong, Lu Ji said...
In fact, Pang Tong stayed in Wu County before leaving...
Lu Ji even talked to Pang Tong about the things he did in Wu County... Pang Tong once showed a strong interest in his experience when he changed his name to Zhantang.
All of this forced Yi Xiaotian to pay attention to Pang Tong, his opponent.
Perhaps so far, Pang Tong is the person who has the best chance of ruining his plan.
It's still the same sentence... Who can walk along the river without getting wet shoes? Yi Xiaotian has been walking smoothly in this half of his life, whether it is luck or chance.
Even if you encounter danger, you can always turn it into a good thing.
But what he is most worried about now is that if he meets someone who has been thinking about him in the dark, he may really be pulled into the abyss in his dream.
Therefore, Yi Xiaotian, who has always been famous for his bold plans, instead sent out Peng Hu, Fei Zhan and others who were considered his cronies when dealing with Pang Tong.
