The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 451 Pang Tong: What would Kong Ming be like when he restrained his cautious character?

The three of them looked up at the clear sky, but found nothing, as if the thunder just now had come out of nowhere.

Zhuge Liang turned his gaze to the eternally flowing river, turned his head and said to Sima Yi thoughtfully: "Could it be that the river has a spirit and does not approve of your oath?" Otherwise, how could a thunder suddenly sound when Sima Yi was about to swear to the river?

"Yes, yes, yes, I think what Kong Ming said is right. Could it be that the river does not agree with your oath?" Pang Tong also nodded frantically. It was a bolt from the blue. Pang Tong had never seen such a scene. Just now, except for Sima Yi swearing to the Yangtze River, they did nothing.

Therefore, the problem must lie with Sima Yi, who just wanted to swear on the Yangtze River. Although we don’t know why, it is right to put the blame on Sima Yi first, otherwise they will be the ones to take the blame.

"Go away, go away. How can you blame me for this? You all saw it. I, Sima Yi, didn't do anything." Sima Yi's face turned pale. He didn't intend to take the blame. Such a bolt from the blue had nothing to do with him. He just swore an oath to the Yangtze River. He didn't do anything against the law.

"Then how do you prove that it was such a coincidence that this bolt from the blue struck just when you wanted to swear to the river? It would be strange if it had nothing to do with you!" Pang Tong directly asked Sima Yi to prove himself.

Sima Yi's mouth twitched. It was impossible to prove himself. Once he started to prove himself, he would fall into the enemy's trap. It would be easy for him to be caught in a dilemma. And if it was really his fault, he would be doomed. So he must not prove himself.

As long as you don't open the lid, you can pretend that nothing has happened and ignore it. Anyway, I know nothing. This is Schrödinger's cat.

Just when Sima Yi was thinking about how to fool around, a messenger suddenly came running from a distance and reported to Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of the trio: "Military advisor, we have encountered an enemy ambush ahead."

"What - the enemy dares to fight back against me!? They are really rebelling against the Tiangang. Call up the soldiers and follow me to wipe them out!" Military officer Sima Yi immediately said to the messenger, while looking at the military advisor Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang also knew that the military situation was urgent, so he did not stop Sima Yi from volunteering. He directly agreed to Sima Yi's application and asked him to send troops to support the front line.

After seeing Zhuge Liang nod, Sima Yi did not waste any time and directly took the messenger to select troops to support the front line. The most important thing now was to support the front line. As for what happened just now, just pretend that nothing happened.

"It's such a coincidence that Liao Gongyuan came, otherwise I would have forced an end to this topic." Military officer Pang Tong said as he watched Sima Yi leave with his troops.

"What I'm more curious about is, is Liao Gongyuan really so confident that he thinks he can defeat the three of us combined?" Zhuge Liang did not mention what Sima Yi had just said, and continued the conversation following Pang Tong's topic. He was not very familiar with the talents in Jingzhou, so he had to ask Pang Tong, a native of Jingzhou.

"Liao Gongyuan is a man with some abilities, but he is arrogant and thinks he is the most talented person in the world. There are very few people in the world who can compare with him." Pang Tong sneered and explained the situation of Liao Li.

Zhuge Liang asked thoughtfully: "If so, how was he convinced by Sun Bofu?" If Liao Li was really as arrogant as Pang Tong said, then how did he fall in love with Sun Ce, a straightforward man?
"What else can I do? Of course he likes this guy Sun Bofu. Otherwise, with his arrogant character, he would not accept Sun Bofu's recruitment." Although Pang Tong was young, he had a detailed understanding of the talents from Jingzhou through the relationship with his uncle Pang Degong.

"It is quite in line with the principle of 'the ruler chooses his ministers, and the ministers also benefit the ruler.'" Zhuge Liang nodded. He still highly advocated the relationship between the ruler and his ministers who shared the same ideals.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Do you want to go to the front and take a look? Since Liao Gongyuan has chosen to take the initiative to send troops, it should be more than just an ambush. There should be other arrangements later." Pang Tong ended the previous topic and invited Zhuge Liang to go to the front line to take a look.

Although he was not clear about Liao Li's military strategy, he knew that Liao Li was very capable and it was impossible for him to only arrange an ambush. If that were the case, Liao Li would be unworthy of his great reputation, and his arrogance would become a joke.

"Let's go." Zhuge Liang agreed with Pang Tong's proposal. He also felt that Liao Li could not have simply set up an ambush and must have other arrangements.

Soon, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong arrived at the place where Liao Li ambushed their troops, and then saw Sima Yi commanding his troops to fight with the enemy troops. Fortunately, their troops were not knocked down by the enemy's ambush, but instead fought better and better under Sima Yi's command. Based on the current situation, they should be able to clear out the ambushed enemy troops soon.

Sure enough, the situation on the battlefield soon developed as Zhuge Liang and his men had imagined. The ambushed enemy troops were completely defeated. Some retreated in an orderly manner under the leadership of their superior military commanders, while others simply fled in all directions without considering the formation at all.

"Do these troops who dare to ambush our army have talent?" Zhuge Liang asked Pang Tong with a frown. Although he himself could determine the level of the enemy army, it was precisely because he was certain that Zhuge Liang wanted to confirm with Pang Tong.

If someone were to ambush the enemy by sending some incompetent troops, that wouldn't be called an ambush; it would be called giving military merit to the enemy.

Pang Tong looked at the fleeing enemy troops, was silent for a moment and said: "The quality of the soldiers barely reaches the level of first-level talents, but the organization of the legion is not enough to manifest elite talents."

"Didn't you just say that Liao Gongyuan is very capable? What's the situation on the battlefield now? Is it possible that Liao Gongyuan is deliberately playing tricks on us and trying to fish for fish?" Zhuge Liang pointed at what was happening on the battlefield and asked Pang Tong. He just told him that Liao Gongyuan was very capable, but this is the result?
"I just said that he has good abilities, but I didn't say that his military abilities are strong." Pang Tong said calmly, suggesting that people should not put the blame on him, as it was Zhuge Liang himself who did not hear clearly what he said.

"..." Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes. He suspected that Pang Tong had recently taken a famous debate course, otherwise he would have said something like this.

"Why are you worrying about this? Since the enemy has already revealed its weakness, now is a good time to charge." Pang Tong suggested directly to Zhuge Liang.

Since it has been confirmed that Liao Li's military ability is not very good, of course, now we should choose to charge directly. As for the backup plan that Liao Li may set up later, it is not important at all. Just charge together and destroy them. "Ah?" Zhuge Liang stared at Pang Tong with wide eyes, and was shocked that Pang Tong would give such a suggestion as charging directly. Although Liao Li's ambush has exposed his military ability, he has other abilities besides military ability. What if he takes out a big treasure for you later?
"It's already this time, don't play it safe. Even if there are enemy deployments behind, at most there will be only one talent in tens of thousands. Do you still expect a Jiangxia County to produce tens of thousands of talents?" Pang Tong said to Zhuge Liang anxiously. If Zhuge Liang delayed for a while longer, the window of opportunity would soon disappear.

Zhuge Liang also knew that the opportunity for battle was fleeting, so he simply compared the gap between himself and Pang Tong in military affairs, saluted Pang Tong decisively, and said: "Then I will go and defeat the enemy on my behalf."

Zhuge Liang was very clear about his advantages. Although he could pursue the enemy himself, compared with Pang Tong and Sima Yi, he was a little too cautious, just as Pang Tong said.

It is not to say that being cautious is a bad thing. In fact, caution is one of the qualities that a famous general should possess. However, sometimes leading troops in battle does not require caution, a quality that may limit one's own performance. An excellent general needs to know clearly when to abandon caution and calmness.

I'm sorry, but caution is almost ingrained in Zhuge Liang's bones. It is almost impossible to ask him to let go of his caution and command the battle in an almost insane manner.

Although now they just needed to forget about Liao Li's possible backup plan and charge directly to crush all the enemy's arrangements, it was still difficult for the cautious Zhuge Liang to change his cautious character, so he asked Pang Tong to complete the charge on his behalf, and he would try to lead the charge himself next time.

Pang Tong was startled and quickly moved half of his body away. He really didn't expect Zhuge Liang to agree to this matter directly. He was originally thinking of some reason to trick Zhuge Liang into agreeing to pursue the ambushed enemy troops and effectively weaken Liao Li's manpower.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang directly gave him an order to crush all the opponent's backup plans. Pang Tong looked at Zhuge Liang in disbelief. He really couldn't believe that this was a military order Zhuge Liang would issue.

"What are you waiting for? Didn't you say that the opportunity for battle is fleeting?" Zhuge Liang looked at the dazed Pang Tong with a slight smile and was shocked - Zhuge Liang, who had been walking on thin ice and cautious all his life, would actually do such a thing!

"I'll go now!" Pang Tong came to his senses and quickly said to Zhuge Liang. Just as Zhuge Liang said, the opportunity for battle is fleeting, and now is not the time to think about these trivial things.

The moment he turned around and left, an idea flashed through Pang Tong's mind - what would the future be like for Zhuge Liang, who was able to restrain his cautious character?
Pang Tong said he couldn't imagine it. The current Zhuge Liang was already suffocating enough. If Zhuge Liang could still evolve, he couldn't imagine what the future would be like.

With some terrifying thoughts, Pang Tong found Sima Yi who was commanding the battle in the front and said a few words to him. Sima Yi looked back at Zhuge Liang, then rushed out directly with Pang Tong and the troops.

The elite troops of Danyang perfectly carried out the orders of Sima Yi and Pang Tong and launched a dragnet-style pursuit of the enemy troops. This pursuit method was not very efficient, but the enemy's ambush troops had been dispersed by Sima Yi. The result was that they caught them all like catching rabbits in the snow.

As for those ambush troops that were retreating in formation under the leadership of senior officers, they were cleared out by a special team of 100 men. It was too much for a group of miscellaneous soldiers who didn't even have elite talents to think they could fight against the Danyang elite who had at least a single talent.

Pang Tong and Sima Yi each led 5,000 men to launch a violent pursuit of the enemy in Jiangxia, crushing many of Liao Li's backup troops on the way. Zhuge Liang led 20,000 men to chase Sima Yi and Pang Tong from a distance.

How could a cautious person like Zhuge Liang completely give up his guard against Liao Li? It is true that he wanted to be a little more cautious, but he did not say that he wanted to abandon it completely.

Because Sima Yi and Pang Tong rushed too fast, Zhuge Liang had to use his spiritual talent to activate Xiahou Yuan's legion talent to speed up the 20,000 soldiers he led.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang's physical fitness has improved a lot, which is enough to support him to use his spiritual talents for a long time. Otherwise, he might not be able to catch up with Sima Yi and Pang Tong's troops with 20,000 people.

By the way, there is one more thing that needs to be explained. When Zhuge Liang uses the legion talents of other generals, it is not like the spiritual talents. His legion talents can only cover more than 200 people at most. To be honest, it is a bit useless.

However, the personnel limit of 200 people is a thing of the past. With the great god Yang Ji around, is it possible that the problem of a mere limit on legion talents cannot be solved?

Well, Yang Ji really couldn't solve this problem. After all, Zhuge Liang's legionary talent was not even as good as his spiritual talent, which was a premature baby, let alone his legionary talent, which was even more deformed.

Therefore, Yang Ji adopted another method to spread the effect of Zhuge Liang's talent, so that more soldiers could be covered by Zhuge Liang's talent. If he couldn't cure the root cause, could he not cure the symptoms?

Since Zhuge Liang's legion talent can only cover two hundred people, Yang Ji came up with a secret technique that can expand the coverage of the legion talent. Although the consumption is indeed a bit high, as long as Zhuge Liang can afford this consumption, Zhuge Liang's legion talent can be used as a normal legion talent.

Zhuge Liang used his spiritual talent and the secret technique of talent diffusion customized by Yang Ji to chase Sima Yi and Pang Tong all the way to Xiling County, the seat of Jiangxia County, where Liao Li was.

To be honest, Zhuge Liang was also quite shocked. Their team of infantrymen actually broke through the densely networked Jiangxia County, which was originally the base camp of the Jiangxia navy.

Although the Jiangxia navy was completely captured by the Qingzhou fleet, a number of naval ships were still left at the base camp.

Moreover, the Jiangxia Naval Base has a complete Han Dynasty naval training system. If Liao Li wants, he can still pull out a brand new naval fleet from here.
