Chapter 1257 This can't make him turn around, can it?
Chapter 1,257 This can’t make him come back, can it?
"Relax, General Sun. You are the most dazzling person in the world now. Even if the other party dares to threaten you with a crossbow, don't worry... There are soldiers here waiting to protect you... There will be no danger."
"Yi...Yi Xiaotian...let me ask you again...can you guarantee that Zhuge Liang will follow your lead?"
"Haha...can't."
Yi Xiaotian chuckled twice without any intention of hiding it.
As for Sun Quan, who was standing in front of the city gate tower, after hearing this answer, his whole body seemed to be turned to stone, and his heart was completely dead.
"Lord! Lord! The other party has stopped!"
"What?"
Because the scene was still being set up, Yi Xiaotian, Sun Quan and others were hiding behind the city wall at the moment - this was also Yi Xiaotian's request, saying that they had to wait until the best distance before they could set up their formation to greet Zhuge Liang.
But it seems... Yi Xiaotian has indeed grasped some of Zhuge Liang's thoughts.
Obviously they have such a huge military advantage, even... the Piling they want to attack is basically an isolated city, and you can tell if there is an ambush at a glance... But Zhuge Liang is timid.
Because he just knows that...every time like this, Yi Xiaotian turns defeat into victory. Yi Xiaotian is a devil who is very good at exploiting the loopholes in people's hearts. To defeat this person, he must ensure that he does not make any omissions.
So although Zhuge Liang is cowardly, he is justified in being cowardly.
But he may not have thought that this was actually within Yi Xiaotian's expectation - after all, if Zhuge Liang hadn't been cowardly at all, they might have been easily taken away by the other party now.
It can only be said that this is another area where Yi Xiaotian is brave.
Sun Quan lay on the city wall and glanced at the battlefield in the distance. As expected, the opponent's cavalry suddenly stopped for some reason. Not long after, they simply turned around and returned——
The opponent's infantry quickly formed a formation and began to advance steadily and slowly with their shields in hand.
"this……"
Sun Quan looked back at the city wall beside him...
Except for the few soldiers on standby at the city gate tower where he and Yi Xiaotian were, the other sections of the city wall were already empty...
"Are they really that cautious...didn't they see that we no longer have the manpower to defend the city?
Even...even if the field of view is worse, it's not difficult to see, right?"
Sun Quan was mumbling to himself, but Yi Xiaotian ignored him.
The first step of the plan has been completed, now we just wait for Zhuge Liang to get closer...
In Piling City at this moment... nearly six thousand defenders are scattered in the streets and alleys——
Some people were hiding in the warehouses under the outer city wall... Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Zhu Ran and others each led a team and hid in various places, always observing Yi Xiaotian's instructions on the city.
Yes, this is a fatal performance that ties everyone into it. As long as...as long as Zhuge Liang or someone in Liu Bei's army discovers a little bit of their loopholes, this performance will end with Yi Xiaotian and others all...
It ended with the annihilation of the army.
But the reason for arranging such a strategy, apart from the fact that Jiangdong does not have enough troops now, is because Yi Xiaotian not only wants to protect Jiangdong from falling into Liu Bei's hands - he has been emphasizing that Liu Bei must be defeated in one fell swoop in this battle.
Defeat, this is his real purpose.
——
Maybe you have heard of Yi Xiaotian's so-called declarations of not being involved in politics and not including his stance before, and you may feel that Yi Xiaotian's current behavior of helping Jiangdong people resist Liu Bei has already violated his and Youjian Villa's original intention.
But Yi Xiaotian doesn't want to explain these...
He is now more and more willing to admit his naivety in the past, and he is more and more aware of the so-called position of being unable to control himself.
In such a troubled world, running a paradise-like existence like Youjian Villa is definitely not just a matter of shouting slogans——
The so-called power politics also has this principle - only when you have strength, others will really think highly of you and will not regard you as a simple piece of fat.
Has Youjian Villa really changed?
Actually no…
There are more and more companions around Yi Xiaotian, and more and more people are beginning to recognize Youjian Villa and want to join Youjian Villa.
And the more he knew this, and the more he saw the future of Youjian Villa, the more Yi Xiaotian understood - there were some things he had to do, and this... was what would happen to him after he built Youjian Villa.
The burden on one's body.
From beginning to end, he has been working hard for Youjian Villa.
Whether it was disrupting Jiangdong at the beginning, setting up the foundation of Ujian Villa from Jiangdong, later helping Jiangdong quell the rebellion, or now assisting Jiangdong to resist Liu Bei's attack.
Even...the previous actions that were said to be to help Mr. Hao actually made Cao Cao bigger and stronger in the north. The reason was actually for Youjian Villa.
This is contradictory, but not difficult to understand.
The reason why Youjian Villa and Yi Xiaotian were able to gain Cao Cao's trust, and why they were able to gain Sun Quan's trust again after being defeated, was that Youjian Villa and Yi Xiaotian were not on the same side and did not choose to compete for hegemony.
Otherwise... with the mentality of these big shots who want the world for themselves, how can they tolerate people like Yi Xiaotian, whose abilities are not of this era, to be so carefree?
What he is doing now is just paving the way for his future - even...even if he has to fall out with someone among them in the future, there will eventually be a place for them to survive in this world.
Therefore, Yi Xiaotian now has less and less confusion in his heart, and more... just some firm belief in the future path.
Thinking about it this way, why should Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang go against each other? Even if there is no grudge between them, the reason can be imagined.
Looking at the whole world, Yi Xiaotian knew that...Liu Bei alone would not have any place for him...as long as...Zhuge Liang was still alive.
——
"General Sun, it's time."
"ah?
This... so fast?
I...I'm not ready yet?"
Yi Xiaotian did not explain anything to Sun Quan, but suddenly turned his head and spoke to him calmly.
But everyone in Sun Quan was dumbfounded. They had to face such a huge army, and they had to follow the script that Yi Xiaotian had given him before to perform some... some dialogues that seemed easy to see through. This... this
No matter how you think about it, you are sending yourself to death?
How could Sun Quan accept this?
It's just that Yi Xiaotian didn't care about Sun Quan's current mood, and nodded directly to the selected soldiers behind him who were of extremely high quality.
They simply dragged Sun Quan back to the pavilion, and while screaming, mercilessly changed Sun Quan's clothes.
——
Zhuge Liang did not stay on the carriage anymore, but rode a horse himself and walked side by side with Liu Bei.
In silence, he stared at the extremely quiet Piling, but his mind was thinking crazily about Yi Xiaotian's possible response.
But the more he thought about it, and the more he combined it with Yi Xiaotian's current difficult situation, the more confused Zhuge Liang became inside.
