The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 145
Hearing this, the doubts in Changsun Ji's heart disappeared, and he already had a little understanding of why the Yangping defenders did this.

It should be almost the same reason as Zhuge Liang, who was known as the wise and demon in his previous life, used empty plans.It is to use this false situation to make the other party confused and suspicious.

Therefore, the Liang army did not dare to march for a while, so they took the opportunity to delay for some time, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. Although this trick did not last long, but fortunately, the Yangping defenders persisted until the arrival of Changsun Ji's reinforcements.

Although we didn't meet each other, Changsun Ji had a good impression of Yangping's garrison leader as a very cunning man.

Changsun Ji didn't wait long, nor did he encounter the embarrassment he had in Dunqiu.But after a short period of time, there was the sound of horseshoes on the street of the city gate, and a bearded man in armor appeared at the gate of the city from the corner of the street.

Behind him followed some civilian and military generals.

When he reached the gate of the city, the cheeky man got off his horse, walked a few steps outside the city gate, stopped in front of Changsun Ji, bowed his hands to Changsun Ji and said, "Wang Liang, the guard general of Yangping, has seen General Changsun. It rained heavily last night. I thought the general's arrival would be delayed by the rain, and I couldn't come to meet you in time, I hope the general will forgive me."

Changsun Ji got off his horse, bowed his hands to Wang Liang and said, "The general is joking, the military situation is on fire, how dare Ji delay because of a rain."

"General Gao Yi, I admire you. I have prepared residences for all the generals, please, general."

"Please."

Changsun Ji gave way to him and then nodded and walked into the city. In principle, he is a general to suppress the rebellion, and his official position is also higher than this Wang Liang, so it can be said that he went first.

Now Wang Liang asked him to lead the way into the city, not just as a courtesy of the master, but to tell Changsun Ji or the people in the city that Changsun Ji is now taking the lead in matters in the city.

There can only be one leader in a place, and this is not just a rule among wolves.If there were two bosses in the city, it would be okay if there was nothing to do on weekdays, but if it was a battle, the soldiers would be completely confused because of the different commands of the two bosses.

In fact, coming here, what Changsun Ji wants is to grasp the overall situation. If he is the second in command under someone else, then he has to see if the number one can suppress him.

Although it can be seen from the opening of the city gate that Wang Liang has some schemes, Sun Ji doesn't think he will be stronger than himself if he is not long enough.When he came to the city, even if Wang Liang didn't give up his seat, he would let him give up his seat.

However, Wang Liang gave up his position at the beginning, so there was no need for such troubles, and it could be regarded as avoiding hurting the harmony of both parties.

After entering the city, Changsun Ji and Wang Liang rode horses on the road and walked side by side.At this time, the sky had already darkened, and Changsun Ji asked while riding a horse: "General Wang, what is the situation of the Liang Army now, and what do you know about it?"

"Now these food troops are still repairing at the Cang Pavilion across the river, and have not started to cross the river. It may be because of the delay due to the rain. And I opened the city gate again, which made these bandits confused for a while, so now Don't dare to go forward.

But now the rain has stopped, and my plan is just a stopgap measure. There are experts in the Liang army, and it is estimated that they will be seen through in a short time, and they will take action soon. "

Changsun Ji nodded and said, "Has a defense line been built on the other side of the river?"

"No, just sent a few spies to monitor the movements of the Liangjun."

Changsun Ji said "En", and Wang Liangbin's answer was within his expectations. After all, he had set up a suspicious formation on the city side, but if he set up heavy defenses on the riverside, it was obviously a sign of guilt.

Wang Liang opened the gate of the city wide, and the riverside was not fortified. If the Liang army saw through the trick before Changsun Ji arrived, it is estimated that the two defense lines in Yangping would be smashed by the Liang army in an instant.

It's a big gamble, but then again.Since ancient times, the strategy of doubting soldiers has always been the strategy of risking soldiers, which itself is a gamble.

It's not that Changsun Ji asked questions knowingly.Changsun Ji asked him that his real purpose was to see whether this Wang Liang was really capable, or whether it was because of a flash of inspiration.

If he really has the ability, it must be a rule of thumb, and he already knows every detail of the matter. Although it seems extremely dangerous to act from the outside, in his own opinion, he is indeed confident.

But if it's just a flash of inspiration, there must be loopholes everywhere. Once there is a war, it will tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

"We don't know when the Liang army will be able to see through your strategy, but now that the reinforcements have arrived, don't do risky things anymore."

"Tonight, we will build a defensive line by the river overnight to prevent the grain army from attacking." Changsun Ji said to Wang Liang.

"Since Liangjun has not figured it out so far, it must not be too late this night. The sky has turned dark, and the river has risen a lot due to the heavy rain last night. Liangjun will not cross the river at night."

"The general and the soldiers have been exhausted for a day, so why not rest for a night, recharge their energy, and prepare to build a defense line by the river tomorrow." Wang Liang persuaded.

Changsun Ji turned his head to look at Wang Liang, smiled with some ambiguity, and said, "How can there be so many guesses in this world? This world depends on people, and blood is poured down bit by bit, not by thinking."

"Don't General Gao know? Never relax until you have won, because most people will die the night before they lead to success."

"We have to face the enemy army with the worst plan. Only in this way can we win the final victory. If the Liang army crosses the river at night tonight, you know what the consequences will be."

Although Changsun Ji said it with a smile, his tone was full of lessons.

"Yes, what the general said is that the lower officials got carried away and were negligent." After being taught a lesson by Changsun Ji, Wang Liang not only did not get angry, but bowed his head and admitted his mistake in front of everyone.

Changsun Ji didn't say anything more.In fact, he didn't care about Wang Liangbin's inquiry.Because he only knew that even if he didn't talk about it, Wang Liang would send someone to meet the defense line tonight.

The pretentiously stupid answer just now was nothing more than trying to test out what kind of person he was.Do you have real talents and learning, or do you like flattery.

It's just a small road, and the two have already completed a small confrontation.This is not a confrontation, because the two of them didn't know each other before, and some simple understandings were based on rumors or casual inquiries, and the understanding was not very deep. It was just a simple test just now. .
