From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 120 Take the initiative to attack
The entire meeting hall of the Yu Dynasty was plunged into a heavy atmosphere. The killing of Li Dian was something that the entire Yu Dynasty could not tolerate.

Before, they were just speculating, speculating that Li Dian was captured, speculating that Li Dian had defected. At that time, they could still pretend that nothing had happened.

But now the real news has been delivered, and almost everyone in the Yu Dynasty knows about this. The seventh-rate general Li Dian was killed. This is not a trivial matter for the Yu Dynasty.

If doing nothing is tantamount to compromising with the other side, how should they explain to their soldiers?
But now they have no idea about the strength of the Dameng Dynasty. If they rashly attack the Dameng Dynasty, they will put themselves in danger.

The entire conference hall was divided into two rows. Generals such as Le Jin strongly suggested that Yu Chao lead his troops across the Yellow River to start a battle with the enemy, avenge Li Dian, and give an explanation to the soldiers under his command.

The counselors led by Li Su suggested that the Yu Dynasty give up attacking the Dameng Dynasty and focus on developing internal affairs. Only when the army has been recruited to the scale of 10,000 people should it engage in battle against the enemy.

The two sides were arguing and turned their eyes to their lord Wang Yu.

Wang Yu was also weighing the pros and cons. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Fight!"

"We have the three towns along the Yellow River guarding the inland. Even if we fail this time, we can retreat and won't suffer too much loss."

"If we don't fight, not only will our soldiers look down on the Yu Dynasty regime, but even the people we rule will think we are weak and can be bullied."

"This matter already involves the issue of face, so... beat him!"

Wang Yu was the lord of the Yu Dynasty and had absolute say in the Yu Dynasty. Most importantly, the strategist Li Su and the general Wen Pin were particularly loyal to him.

He did not intend to win the loyalty of all the military generals. As long as he captured the leaders of the civil officials and military generals, he could control the discourse power of the entire Yu Dynasty.

Wang Yu looked at Wen Pin and said, "General Wen, this time I plan to have you lead 2,000 soldiers and cross the Yellow River in person."

Wen Pin nodded: "Since the Lord wants to fight, I will naturally have no choice but to do it."

After a pause, he continued, "However, my lord, you still need to think carefully about how to fight and what results to achieve this time."

Wang Yu hummed, then looked at Li Su and asked, "Mr. Li, what do you think?"

Li Su said, "Since the lord is determined to fight, I think this battle is only to test the strength of the enemy. General Wen can judge the situation on the battlefield. If we are evenly matched, we will be at a disadvantage in long-range combat and we should turn back immediately."

"If General Wen sees that the other side is not as strong as us, then we can take advantage of this opportunity to take down the entire Dameng Dynasty and achieve the unification of the north and the south."

Wang Yu agreed and said, "Mr. Li is right. So let's do as Mr. Li says. General Wen, this time everything depends on you. You are better than anyone else at judging the battlefield situation. Be careful."

Wen Pin nodded calmly and said, "Nothing."

He was very confident in himself. After all, he was a fifth-rate general and could crush almost everything. If he was just a fifth-rate general, it would be fine. He also had a companion beast - the falcon.

The falcon is not an ordinary eagle. Its physique is twice that of an ordinary eagle, and it has hard feathers all over its body. It can attack people and has super defensive capabilities. In addition, its companion beast has a pair of extremely sharp claws, which are powerful enough to pierce the neck of a person on the battlefield.

With the support of the companion beast, Wen Pin's combat effectiveness is raised to a higher level. If the opponent is just a fifth-rate general, Wen Pin will not be afraid!

Besides, this river crossing operation is not really to annihilate the enemy, but mainly to test the enemy's strength. If the enemy is really weak, then we can annex them.

But Wen Pin did not think that the opponent would be so weak. The fact that they were able to kill all the 300 soldiers brought by Li Dian showed that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated. At the very least, there was a seventh-rate or above military general in command!
Wen Pin brought two generals, Cheng Yu and Ma Zhong, and a thousand soldiers to the Yellow River ferry.

Cheng Yu was a ninth-rate general, Ma Zhong was an eighth-rate general, and Yu Chao had the seventh-rate general Le Jin and the sixth-rate general Gan Ning in charge, which could almost guarantee the stability of the rear.

"General, be careful on your journey and come back soon." "Okay." Wen Pin nodded lightly. There was a falcon on his armor, and the falcon's eyes were patrolling, looking very sinister.

"Let's go get some information first."

As soon as Wen Pin opened his mouth, the falcon flew away quickly.

……

Daming Town, meeting hall.

Zhang Zhao thought there was a loophole in Zhuge Liang's plan, and said, "The general released Le Jin this time to make the enemy unable to guess our strength."

"But the other side may send troops to fight us to test our strength."

"The other side lost a seventh-rate general. If we don't do anything to deal with this, then the other side will lose all their face. I guess they will definitely send troops over."

"But they may not fight us to the death. Most likely they are testing us. Even if they lose, they still have the three towns of the Yellow River for strategic defense. So they will definitely send troops to fight us this time!"

Zhuge Liang let Le Jin go back in order to disrupt and confuse the enemy army, but then he changed his mind and felt that what Zhang Zhao said made sense.

"If we lose on the battlefield, they will take the opportunity to attack us directly and send more people to attack us."

"General, we must prepare early. No matter what, there will definitely be a war next. We cannot afford any mistakes in this war."

"If we lose, the consequences will be disastrous."

After Zhang Zhao's reminder, Zhuge Liang agreed with it and thought what Zhang Zhao said made sense.

The faces of everyone in the conference hall also became serious.

No one knows who the other party will send this time. You have to know that the Yu Dynasty sent spies to spy twice, and the spies sent were all seventh-rate military generals.

Two seventh-rate generals are rare even in Daming Town, but the opponent can send two of them over at will, which is enough to show that seventh-rate generals are not treasures in the opponent's camp.

And now Daming Town only has one seventh-rate general, Yu Jin, and the key is that he is a seventh-rate general who can fight at a long range.

This shows that there is still a certain gap in strength between Daming Town and the other side.

If the other party sends troops to test us this time, once Daming Town shows any signs of decline, the other party will surely take advantage of the situation and pursue us. At that time, Daming Town will be in danger.

Zhuge Liang looked serious and said, "Go and call General Pan Feng and General Zhong Hui back!"

"General Gongsun, General Yu, you must stay alert these days and lead more troops to patrol the banks of the Yellow River."

"Once you discover the enemy's army, report back immediately, don't act on your own!"

"Here!"
