The first thousand two hundred and eighty-eight chapters
Chapter 1288: One for Two
Pang Tong and Wei Yan had been thrown out of the car.
Since Pang Tong deliberately caused trouble just now, neither Lu Meng, Zhu Ran nor the accompanying soldiers have a good look towards Pang Tong.
But Pang Tong didn't care about this anymore.
He knew he was about to be redeemed.
Not only will he be redeemed, but he will also be able to get rid of Zhao Yun, a black sheep - thinking about it makes him feel very comfortable.
Defeat is not a problem. Even if he is beaten to a pulp, Pang Tong still has no worries about having no firewood. Pang Tong's mentality is indeed much more optimistic than Zhuge Liang's fledgling life back then - this is also thanks to the people who have been suppressed in Jiangdong for so many years.
experience.
Failure is never a bad thing in Pang Tong's eyes. The scene he least wants to see is the result of trying for a long time and getting nothing in the end.
Then again...what on earth was Yi Xiaotian muttering to those people?
Pang Tong was a little confused. The situation was clearly at a dead end, so why was Yi Xiaotian still unwilling to let him go in exchange for Zhao Yun?
Even if he is stalling for time, what can he do with this little time?
"Uh...oh..."
But at this moment, a whine came from behind Pang Tong...
Feeling the irregular ups and downs on his back, Pang Tong moved his body, turned around and looked behind him——
"Woo?"
【you're awake?
】
At this moment, Wei Yan opened his eyes with a painful expression, looked around, looked confused, and finally turned his gaze back to Pang Tong:
"Woo...Woo..." [We are...]
Pang Tong nodded, forced a smile from the corner of his mouth, and pursed his lips toward the other side.
Finally, after seeing familiar figures such as Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, Wei Yan was so excited that he wanted to struggle to get up.
As a result, just as he was about to get up, he was kicked to the ground by a Jiangdong soldier on the side——
By chance, this scene was seen by Zhuge Liang from a distance.
The muscles on his face twitched, but he wanted to get angry but couldn't find a place to vent his anger.
Mainly...compared to Wei Yan, Zhao Yun is a bit too honest...
He couldn't find any angle to blame the other party, of course...except for the incident where Yi Xiaotian took the initiative to talk to Zhao Yun just now.
"So...it's a done deal, right?
General Zhao, is there anything else you want to say?"
Zhao Yun drooped his eyebrows as if he didn't hear Zhuge Liang's question.
This made Zhuge Liang a little angry again, but at this time, he didn't want to see Zhao Yun again.
Zhao Yun and Yi Xiaotian are involved. This is undoubtedly the biggest problem in Liu Bei's camp.
Regardless of whether you were related to Yi Xiaotian before or after you defected to Liu Bei, as long as Zhuge Liang is still alive, you can't even think about getting promoted with Liu Bei.
Zhao Yun's behavior was even more of a serious crime - he clearly held the title of general and governor and still had contact with the enemy. If Zhao Yun hadn't been exposed too late and had been trying to remedy the situation, Zhuge Liang would not have wanted to hear any of his excuses.
But...everything is finally coming to an end.
Zhuge Liang turned around and checked with the people next to him. There was not much time left, so he also cast his gaze to the opposite side.
——
"Have you thought clearly? The time has come!"
Zhuge Liang shouted personally, informing Yi Xiaotian not to continue delaying.
And Yi Xiaotian seemed to have just finished his last sentence. Most of the faces of Lu Meng, Zhu Ran, Lu Xun and Sun Quan had some doubts and worries, but...compared with the anger and weakness before, it seemed that
It turns out that some of Yi Xiaotian's explanations played a role in calming the morale of the army.
"Sir...will it really develop as you say?"
"You also said...it depends on...that person's own performance. If he fails, we will never have the chance to surround Liu Bei and the others..."
Lu Xun still expressed his doubts...but because he knew that his ability was not strong enough, he did not swear as much as before and just asked Yi Xiaotian this question.
Lu Meng also echoed beside him: "Sir, this is another big gamble... It's better to do what the Lord said, we set up checkpoints along the way to delay their speed as much as possible, and maybe consume the opponent to a certain extent.
To a certain extent, combined with the county soldiers within the territory, it may also be able to cause considerable damage to the opponent..."
"You're sure..."
Yi Xiaotian murmured in his mouth and glanced at Sun Quan aside... What Lu Meng just said was a safe approach proposed by Sun Quan in this desperate situation.
It is indeed a very solid proposal, especially...especially considering that He Qi is still resting in Poyang. Although he has experienced a great war and has been quite exhausted, if he cooperates with those who pursue them, he may really be able to give Liu Bei some help on the road.
The army attacked head-on.
but…
"I'm only about 50% sure... I rarely leave the decision-making power on this kind of matter to others, but... I trust that kid..."
"The most important thing is that Jiangdong has been severely exhausted in this protracted war... It is as powerful as a tiger in one go... The current army no longer has such follow-up power, and it is really a bad idea to continue to pursue the battle."
"Fifty percent..."
Sun Quan's face was a little stiff... This was the first time he heard Yi Xiaotian's uncertain words.
This shows that it is already quite unrealistic to achieve the most perfect goal - to wipe out Liu Bei's army in one fell swoop.
but…
"Is there a way out?"
"Maybe a few decades from now?"
"That means there is none..."
Sun Quan cursed and said.
However, his appearance also made the atmosphere somewhat relaxed.
"That's all, it seems like I can't defeat you, but Yi Xiaotian... you should know that if your 50% chance of winning goes wrong, we will not be the first to suffer..."
"I have this preparation, so I said...this is the best way for Jiangdong."
Yi Xiaotian's words made Sun Quan feel helpless for a moment... He was helpless. The more he communicated with Yi Xiaotian, the more he discovered that this person's usual bad taste was actually just used to cover up his rather Chicheng inside.
…This man…isn’t bad—at least not as he appears.
Of course...it's still necessary to beat him. If he becomes an enemy with Yi Xiaotian again in the future, Sun Quan thinks that he will never be able to resist hitting Yi Xiaotian's hand.
But that’s all for another day.
——
"Okay, we agree to your request."
Yi Xiaotian replied, still raising his hands to indicate that he was not carrying any dangerous items to prevent Zhuge Liang from being scared again.
"One for two, just loosen the straps on the legs, no one is allowed to come forward, let them go on their own."
Zhuge Liang nodded and stated his next request.
The negotiations between the two parties continued like this, and it seemed that nothing unnecessary happened.
Everything is developing in the direction Zhuge Liang expected.
