Without Jiang Wan even knowing about it, Liu Beijun had undergone such a dramatic change, which was indeed beyond his expectation.
But this will not affect Jiang Wan's determination to take advantage of Liu Beijun's slackness and defeat him in one fell swoop.
——
On this day, Xun You brought a letter from outside the city written by Zhang He and Ma Chao. He hurried to the palace and saw Jiang Wan who was busy.
"Gong Yan! The two generals Zhang He and Ma Chao asked me to hand it over to you - it may be internal information about Liu Bei's army. You should think about it first, right?"
Jiang Wan didn't say anything more. He immediately took the letter and scanned it.
He quickly learned what Zhang Fei and others did after they withdrew their troops.
"Zou Maling?"
"Is that Wei Yan really that stupid?"
"Huh? What happened?"
As soon as he finished reading, Jiang Wan frowned and said this.
When Xun You heard what Jiang Wan said, he also turned his head to take a look.
As a result, judging from the words in the letter, this Wei Yan... seemed to be outside Liu Bei's military system, a character who could not distinguish between friends and foes at all.
"Zoumaling is so steep that occupying the top of the mountain is tantamount to digging one's own grave and cutting off one's retreat. If I guessed correctly, Wei Yan should have been wandering near Zuomaling to guard against our troops crossing the mountain and attacking their grain roads.
A troop of troops, right?”
Jiang Wan is in the dark and Zhuge Liang is in the light. Zhuge Liang may not know Jiang Wan's existence yet, but Jiang Wan understands Zhuge Liang quite thoroughly.
As a Jingzhou native, Jiang Wan had often heard of Zhuge Liang's name. Although he did not choose to work with Zhuge Liang before leaving Lingling, this did not mean that Jiang Wan would deny Zhuge Liang's talent.
On the contrary, he also believed that Zhuge Liang was one of the top conspirators in the world, except maybe Yi Xiaotian. A person of this level... wouldn't arrange for his men to die, right?
Just as Zhang He did - Zhang He only made a slight encirclement, and Wei Yan almost trapped the entire army to death on the mountain.
And from what Zhang He meant, Wei Yan's losses were quite heavy, and even caused quite a commotion in the army?
"That's right...Zhuge Wolong can't even arrange these well...Then there is only one possibility at the moment, that is, Wei Yan did not act according to their plan. There are definitely people in Liu Bei's army who are dissatisfied with Wei Yan's trip, and
This...this is something we should take advantage of."
"Does General Ma Chao also plan to join the battle from the front and attract Wei Yan's lonely army to go deeper?"
Xun You saw the part about Ma Chao and wondered.
"Well... that should be the intention. Only this can make Wei Yan completely ignore their own arrangement - the bait in the trap must be tempting enough."
Jiang Wan nodded, but Xun You was even more confused:
"But if that's the case, I wonder... could it be that we have to rely on a group of remnant soldiers to defend it?"
"Mr. Xun, don't worry...just read this article——"
Following the direction of Jiang Wan's finger, Xun You's eyes suddenly brightened.
Killing move!
No...it should be said that it is a surprise soldier!
At that moment, they suddenly had a strange soldier, and the appearance of this strange soldier was bound to involve that person's name.
"God... Shenjian Camp? I seemed to have heard Mr. Yi talk about it when I was in Chang'an, but I didn't expect... that it is already of such a scale?"
"Then that's the case!"
Xun You clenched his fists excitedly and looked at Jiang Wan again.
Jiang Wan smiled and nodded:
"Before I came, sir, he said that he would give me a big gift in the middle of the battle. I guess... he was talking about them!"
"If this can be accomplished, our army can dismantle Liu Bei's main combat force in one battle!"
——
Wei Yan didn't know that he had been plotted against him. He had just emerged from the shadows of the past few days, and now Wei Yan had completely forgotten everything he had promised Zhuge Liang before.
In addition, Zhang Fei was the one who took care of him, so all he could think about was revenge and becoming famous in one battle.
Where is Zhang Fei?
Zhang Fei, you said he didn't make a mistake. After all, Wei Yan received the order alone. Zhang Fei really didn't know it well. He only had the Cao army in front of him to defeat the Cao army at Yangping Pass. For this reason, he was certainly willing to accept Wei Yan's kindness.
But at this moment - Chen Dao, Zhao Yun, Huo Jun, and even a group of lieutenants and lieutenants all came to Zhang Fei's tent, intending to force the palace directly and tell him everyone's final decision in the past few days.
The problem is...
It happened that at this time, Cao Jun, whose plan was already in motion, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, and Cao Zhen had already come over with Jiang Wan's orders to attack.
They didn't give Zhang Fei and the others any chance to think or breathe.
"Under heavy pressure, you can force the opponent to make mistakes!"
Jiang Wan said that the key to this battle was to show the main force of Liu Bei's army the fact that Ma Chao and Zhang He, who were supposed to guard Xiabian and Guangshi, also participated in the battle.
Cao's army came with nearly 50,000 troops, and Zhang Fei didn't even have time to put on his clothes.
Carrying the snake spear, he rushed out of the camp first.
Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and others seemed to have a thousand words to say, but their minds went blank.
"What are you still doing? It's Zhang He and Ma Chao's support! At this moment, Cao Jun has definitely let Chen Cangdao go! Go and inform Chang Wen immediately! This is an excellent opportunity!"
"Oh...oh!"
Zhao Yun really didn't turn around for a moment. He really didn't expect that Wei Yan and Zhang Fei's bragging predictions actually completely coincided with the present.
Then...could it be a feasible plan for Wei Yan to go straight to Huanglong?
It's a pity that everyone around Zhao Yun has joined the war one after another, and there is no one to brainstorm with him anymore.
Zhao Yun rode out, led a group of soldiers and horses, and caught up with Wei Yan, who was about to return to the camp to make other preparations.
"Wen Chang! All the main forces of Cao's army are coming! Yide is leading his army to resist, and Ma Chao and Zhang He are also participating in the battle! I'm going to argue..."
"No need to say anything! We have been waiting for this moment!!"
"Zilong, just wait for my good news!"
When Wei Yan heard Zhao Yun's roar, he was stunned for a moment, and then became ecstatic. His previous defeat really made the other party think that his morale was low, and the other party sent out all his troops. Didn't this fall into his plan?
At that moment, Wei Yan almost shouted to the people around him:
"See! Everything this general does makes sense! You all should learn from it!"
However, he also knew that the opportunity was fleeting, so he directly stepped on his horse, rushed towards his tent quickly, ordered his troops and horses, and took advantage of the night to kill towards Zoumaling.
However, all the movements of Wei Yanjun were seen by Zhang He and others who were feinting to attack. As soon as Wei Yanjun took action, Cao Jun pretended to be defeated. It was an act. It must be done completely to give the other side confidence and let the other side fall into it.
Wei Yan has no idea now that he has completely fallen into the trap set by Jiang Wan, Ma Chao, Zhang He and others.
