From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 176 Reflection and Regret
After Xiahou Yuan was hacked to death by Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liao's eyes popped out. He knew that Zhuge Liang was brave, but he didn't expect him to be so fierce.

Zhang Liao had fought against Xiahou Yuan before, and he knew that Xiahou Yuan's martial arts was not much worse than his own. Zhang Liao had competed with Zhuge Liang before, and although Zhang Liao was defeated, Zhang Liao had not used his full strength at that time. If he really fought on the battlefield and used all his strength, Zhang Liao believed that he might not lose to Zhuge Liang.

It was not until now that he understood that Zhuge Liang had also held back in the last competition. Now facing Xiahou Yuan, Zhuge Liang did not hold back any tricks and used all his strength in order to kill him. The fighting power he unleashed left Zhang Liao dumbfounded!

After Xiahou Yuan's death, the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty no longer had the courage to fight. Now the only general left was Li Tong. When Li Tong saw Xiahou Yuan died in battle, he took the initiative to surrender with his soldiers. He had long known that the Wu Dynasty was doomed and there was no need to continue working for it.

The only general also surrendered, and the other soldiers had no reason to continue fighting, so they all laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Inside the meeting hall.

Tian Feng glanced at Wu Yingxiong and saw that his lord was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, so he advised: "Don't worry, lord. General Xiahou will definitely return victoriously."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers came hurriedly from outside and said to Wu Yingxiong, "My lord, General Xiahou was killed in the battle, and General Li Tong surrendered with his soldiers."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yingxiong's eyes went dark. He was defeated, completely defeated.

There is no turning back.

His face was pale, he glanced at Tian Feng miserably, and said, "Sir, we are defeated!"

Tian Feng sighed. When Zhuge Jin left the Wu Dynasty, the ending was already determined. Mr. Zhuge gave you so many suggestions and strategies, but you never listened.

Mr. Zhuge's talent may not be matched by Tian Feng and Kuai Yue combined. Even with such a wise counselor assisting you, you turned a deaf ear to his words and would rather listen to a military general than to Mr. Zhuge's advice.

Now that it has come to this, isn't it all my own fault?
Tian Feng looked at Wu Yingxiong, not having to worry about anything else at this moment, and said, "General Xiahou is, after all, just a military commander. It's right to listen to him on matters of marching and fighting, but why doesn't the lord listen to Mr. Zhuge on issues of national development and grand strategy?"

"Mr. Zhuge provided a lot of advice to the lord. If you had listened to Mr. Zhuge, how could you have ended up like this?"

"Isn't this the outcome that the Lord should have thought of long ago?"

"You!" Wu Yingxiong pointed at Tian Feng with an angry look on his face. "I've treated you well, why are you trying to take advantage of your misfortune?"

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "It is precisely because you have treated me well that I want to tell you all this. I hope that you will be able to distinguish right from wrong at any time in the future. Hearing only one side will lead to ignorance, while hearing both sides will lead to enlightenment. You don't even understand these principles yet."

"It is not easy to develop and govern a country. My Lord, you do not have the ability to govern a country at least now. Even if you win this battle by chance, you will still fail the next time."

"My Lord, please do not dream of competing with others for supremacy. At least you do not have the ability to do so now."

Tian Feng's words made Wu Yingxiong feel ashamed and unable to refute. It was obvious that what Tian Feng said was correct and it was indeed his own problem. In the initial stage, the Wu Dynasty was undoubtedly powerful, even far surpassing the Dameng Dynasty.

Even if they later gave up all development and devoted all their energy to developing the military, the Wu Dynasty still had hope. As long as they listened to Zhuge Jin and the military developed to a certain level, as long as they managed the economy carefully, eased conflicts with the people, and did more things to benefit the people, the Wu Dynasty still had a chance to turn the tide.

Unfortunately, there were so many opportunities. If Wu Yingxiong had seized one of them, he would not have ended up in such a miserable defeat so quickly.

"Mr. Tian, ​​you can go now if you want to surrender to the Great Dream Dynasty. If you want to go somewhere else, I still have a thousand personal soldiers who can escort you to safety along the way."

Tian Feng suddenly felt uncomfortable after listening to Wu Yingxiong's words. After thinking for a moment, he said, "My lord, I..."

"I want to find Mr. Zhuge and Mr. Kuai." Wu Yingxiong was a little disappointed. He thought Tian Feng would deal with the next thing with him. He smiled bitterly and waved his hand, saying, "Come on, escort Mr. Tian to escape from the North City!"

"Here!"

Looking at Tian Feng's departing back, Wu Yingxiong put his hands behind his back, slowly walked out of the conference hall, mounted his horse, and walked outside under the escort of a few soldiers.

Outside the meeting hall, they were surrounded by the armies of Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao.

Li Tong was also in the opposing team. Wu Yingxiong saw him but pretended not to see him.

He could have chosen to log off and leave directly without having to endure such a great humiliation, but there were some things he hadn't figured out yet, and he needed to figure them out before he could be content.

"Are you the commander-in-chief of the Great Dream Dynasty?"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "Yes."

"I've heard of a special ..."

Wu Yingxiong still didn't say anything when he heard the word "special NPC". He pondered for a moment and then asked, "At the beginning of the war, we killed your caravan to test your attitude, and you came to the border to kill my soldiers."

"How many soldiers did you have at that time?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Twenty thousand."

Only 20,000... At that time they had more than 30,000 troops, and their economy was developed, and the people in the country were stable. If they had fought at the beginning, they would definitely not have lost.

But at that time they all thought that the Wu Dynasty was so arrogant because of its large number of troops.

Wu Yingxiong asked again: "When we go to attack Chenpi, aren't you afraid that we will take a detour to attack the inner city?"

Zhuge Liang said: "I am afraid, but we are holding on, right?"

"In fact, when you attacked San'an Town, as long as you attacked recklessly and didn't leave so quickly, San'an Town would have been taken down. That time you could have obtained food replenishment, and everything would still have a chance."

“But you gave up.”

Wu Yingxiong blushed, wasn't this the advice Zhuge Jin gave him?
When the food was burned, everyone thought that the food would not last long, so at the suggestion of Xiahou Yuan, the 70,000-strong army fled in a panic.

At that time, Zhuge Jin suggested gathering all the forces to take down San'an Town, but Wu Yingxiong did not listen to him.

Zhuge Liang said: "That time should be our most dangerous time, because I am not sure whether San'an Town can be defended. If San'an is breached, you can continue to attack our inner city. With food replenishment, you can choose more places to attack."

"If that time comes, we won't be able to defend. What a pity... I gave you the chance, but you didn't have the courage!"
