I'm afraid no one in this world can answer Yi Xiaotian's question.
His deepest secret is still something that even the people closest to him cannot tell.
Because he is afraid.
I'm afraid that when I say it out loud, it will all come to nothing.
"If this is a dream, please let this dream last a little longer..."
——
The next day, Yi Xiaotian's report arrived as scheduled.
In the tent, everyone listened to Yi Xiaotian explain a series of impacts of the heavy rain, rising water, etc.
And the conclusion that Yi Xiaotian finally came to made everyone's faces look ugly.
"Sir...you are saying that General Cao Ren's army may not come. But if General Cao Ren's army does not come, Guan Yu...won't he face the same situation?"
Lu Xun was extremely shocked. He knew that Yi Xiaotian knew about astronomy and geography, but he didn't know that Yi Xiaotian could see so many details from a simple hydrological report.
This is something Lu Xun still needs to work hard to pursue...
But at the same time, he also had similar questions to most people, that is...if Jiangxia really flooded, wouldn't Guan Yu also encounter the same crisis?
After all... From the beginning, Yi Xiaotian explained that Cao Ren's role was to hold Guan Yu back and leave Liu Bei's army isolated and helpless - the ones who could truly destroy Liu Bei would have to be the troops left in Jiangdong.
Sun Quan would never speak casually in such meetings. He figured out what he should do as a ruler, let the people who are good at doing the things they are good at, and do not doubt the people who are employed. This is what he and Yi Xiaotian
After being together for so long, I understand a truth.
But now...Sun Quan noticed a detail that many people didn't see.
While everyone was talking about it, he stood up quietly, then walked to Yi Xiaotian and whispered to him:
"Yi Xiaotian...do you...do you have any concerns...I feel..."
Yi Xiaotian was a little surprised and turned to look at Sun Quan.
The look in the eyes of this man who is much younger than himself is completely different from the uneasiness he had a few months ago——
"I feel like you're afraid of something..."
"Speak up and everyone will help you."
Sun Quan's eyes were firm and he nodded to Yi Xiaotian.
After being stunned for a moment, Yi Xiaotian smiled helplessly:
"I never thought you could see through my mind now..."
"Everyone!"
After he sighed, his mood improved a little. He turned around and greeted everyone.
Hearing Yi Xiaotian's call, everyone's eyes turned to him, and the chaos immediately returned to calm.
"The thing is just as Boyan said...if it was just a flood, Guan Yu's situation would be even more difficult."
"But I'm worried about much more than that -"
"You may not know that before we arrived in Wancheng, as planned, General Cao Ren would have already sent troops to Jiangxia."
"What I'm worried about...is that General Cao Ren will be restrained by Guan Yu without knowing about the flood, and even...Guan Yu, who is familiar with water, will rely on the power of the water to surround General Cao Ren's army."
"If that's the case..."
hiss--
What Yi Xiaotian said inevitably caused a gasp of air in the tent.
Although...although this is speculation.
But...as the person who had the most encounters with Guan Yu here, Lu Meng's precedent cannot be ignored by anyone.
As expected, after Yi Xiaotian said this, Lu Meng's expression became more serious.
"It's not impossible... If it's Guan Yunchang... on the water... I'm afraid few people can rival him."
When Gan Ning heard this, he was somewhat unconvinced, but seeing the serious expressions on everyone's faces, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.
And to be honest... Cao Ren could fight Guan Yu back and forth in the land battle, which would take a lot of energy, but if the battlefield were really moved to water, and if you ask ten people again, their answer would be that Guan Yu wins.
"Not only that…"
Yi Xiaotian added:
"Based on my understanding of General Cao Ren, he is a very cautious person... Regardless of whether he has come to Jiangxia or not, if he encounters a flood, he will never take risks easily... If Cao Ren and the others do not step into the territory of Jiangxia, the flood may
It will make Guan Yu’s movements more convenient."
"And this will also be an opportunity for Guan Yu——"
"If Guan Yu is clear-headed enough - the situation is reversed... whether to attack or defend, it all depends on his thoughts, maybe he will do something even more detrimental to us."
Yi Xiaotian didn't explain clearly.
But everyone present already understood what he meant.
Just like Lu Meng, he has already calculated it in his mind countless times at this moment - if he were in Guan Yu's position, he would even temporarily give up the opportunity to rescue Liu Bei and take the initiative to attack Cao Ren's weakest point. Anyway, taking advantage of the current, Cao Ren is
It's hard to compete with him.
Yi Xiaotian didn't finish speaking.
He hasn't said yet. According to his observation, this rain will even last for a long time. As long as they haven't made a waterproof bomb, with the blessing of this kind of weather, if they want to break through Wancheng, their current manpower is
Far from enough.
Not to mention...the rain made all their efforts to cut off the Wanhe River in vain.
Everything is developing in a direction that is not conducive to them.
You say...how can everyone not worry?
"Then...then sir, is there really nothing we can do?"
Zhu Ran asked from the side. He was dizzy now and just wanted to know the solution quickly.
You can't... You can't fight for such a long time only to have it all come to nothing in the end, right?
"have."
Yi Xiaotian lived up to expectations and gave this answer.
But Sun Quan still didn't show his face - because he could see that when Yi Xiaotian said these words, his shoulders seemed to become heavier.
"What is it?"
Everyone looked at him expectantly.
Yi Xiaotian calmly said the answer:
"Bomb... to be precise, a waterproof bomb."
——
The meeting ended hastily.
Because even if it doesn't end, there will be no results if a group of people stare in silence.
Sun Quan dismissed everyone, and after sorting things out, he hurried to the tent area where Yi Xiaotian was.
Before he arrived, he saw many familiar faces standing in front of Yi Xiaotian's tent in the distance.
For example, Lu Xun, Pan Zhang, Zhao Yun, and Yi Xiaotian's two beautiful guards, Lu Lingqi and Ma Yunlu.
They all stood quietly outside the door, but judging from their expressions, they were very worried about what was happening in the camp...
"I came...it seems like it's not the right time?"
Sun Quan approached him awkwardly and asked tentatively.
"Ah... No, lord, sir, I have already told you that I will wait for you to come."
Sun Quan didn't expect that Yi Xiaotian knew that he would definitely look for him.
But there was no time to be surprised now. He opened the door curtain and ducked in.
Outside...the sound of rain is still there.
Although it was noon, under the overcast clouds, there was not enough light in the tent, so Yi Xiaotian lit the lamp early.
"Yi Xiaotian..."
"sit down."
Hearing Yi Xiaotian's answer, Sun Quan slowly sat down and looked at him.
