Chapter 614: Ying Bu’s impatience, is there another hidden meaning behind Hanzhong?

Basically, Gao Yao would be able to receive the news of what was happening in Donghui in the morning in the evening. Similarly, the orders he gave to the front line would also be received in time within one day.

At the same time, Ying Bu and Zhang Liang had already brought the Third Corps to the outside of Hanzhong. Unlike Han Xin who had been hiding, the Third Corps led by Zhang Liang and Ying Bu did not conceal their actions, but instead became more and more public.

When the situation is false, it is real; when the situation is real, it is false. Zhang Liang has mastered this strategy. In the last battle against the imperial army, Zhang Liang was very dissatisfied because his strategy put Li Yi in a dilemma. If there was any accident, he might lose his life.

Later, Zhang Liang had originally told Gao Yao that he wanted to leave, as he felt that he was not worthy of assisting Li Yi. His advice put Gao Yao in danger, and it was Gao Yao who tried to stop him several times before he finally stopped Zhang Liang. This is what happened now.

Gao Yao was not attracted by Zhang Liang's reputation, but by the fact that Zhang Liang's strategy was indeed good. It was just because he encountered the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan who did not play by the rules.

This is just like playing mahjong. The cards are ready, but the opponent just throws the mahjong at you. This is the same trick that Mysterious Yi Xiaochuan played, but he failed in the end. Mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's goal was to kill two birds with one stone.

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was indeed smart enough. After discovering that this was all a trap, he was able to take advantage of the situation and step into it just to kill Gao Yao. Zhang Liang's trick of luring the enemy into a trap was successful to some extent, but it did carry some risks.

"Alas, military advisor, we have been showing off our might every day, and I guess Wang Ben has already stopped taking us seriously. It's a pity that we didn't participate in this battle."

In the central army camp, Ying Bu sighed with a sad face. He had some complaints about this battle. He felt that it was boring for him to lead more than 50,000 people of the Third Legion and put on airs here. He was inevitably a little reluctant in his heart. After all, he was a warlike man and was eager to show his skills on the battlefield.

"Hehe, what's the matter, are you anxious?"

Seeing Ying Bu's anxious look, Zhang Liang smiled slightly, slowly put down the military book in his hand, and teased Ying Bu. Although he and Ying Bu had not been partners for too long, after the battle of the Peacock Kingdom, the two had a certain understanding of each other. It can be said that a relationship of mutual respect had been established between them.

Zhang Liang's wisdom was extraordinary. He could make the enemy surrender overnight just by moving some troops, without even losing a single soldier. This ability to strategize made Ying Bu admire him deeply.

In fact, Ying Bu is not stupid. His fighting power and command ability are all demonstrated in front of Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang sees this. Of course, Ying Bu also has his own shortcomings, that is, he is ambitious, but this ambition was completely crushed by Gao Yao before. However, as he gradually makes achievements, Ying Bu's ambition will naturally begin to grow again.

This is also the reason why Gao Yao put Zhang Liang next to Ying Bu, that is, to use Zhang Liang to watch Ying Bu, and to take the opportunity to warn Ying Bu. Ying Bu's strengths and weaknesses are obvious. He can fight and knows how to fight, which are Ying Bu's strengths, but he is arrogant and ambitious, which are Ying Bu's weaknesses.

It would be a waste to keep Ying Bu with Han Xin or Cao Shen. Gao Yao came up with the idea of ​​using Zhang Liang to discipline Ying Bu.

First, the two were arranged to the same corps, and then the main body of the third corps began to be replaced by surrendered soldiers from the court, so that the other party would not be too ambitious step by step. The fat piece of meat given to the third corps to go to the Peacock Kingdom was to improve the morale of the third corps as a whole, to train soldiers, to increase running-in, and to increase the qualifications of Zhang Liang and Ying Bu.

At the same time, Gao Yao was unscrupulous and told Ying Bu directly that he sent Zhang Liang to monitor Ying Bu and give Ying Bu some help. Not only that, Zhang Liang's unique charm made it easy for Ying Bu to be convinced by him.

"How can I not be anxious?" Ying Bu said excitedly, "In the battle against the Peacock Kingdom, although our Third Legion did make great achievements, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the fighting power of the Peacock Kingdom is simply vulnerable. It is simply a piece of cold potato. The only difference is who is willing to take a bite. In fact, the soldiers of other legions still sneer at our Third Legion. I really can't swallow this!"

At this time, Ying Bu expressed his dissatisfaction and anger without hiding it. And this is indeed an unavoidable fact. The battle of the Peacock Kingdom was originally a battle carefully planned by Gao Yao to stabilize the morale of the Third Legion. After all, this legion, which was mainly composed of the imperial army, urgently needed a victory to stabilize the morale of the army. For Ying Bu, what he longed for was not such an easy victory, but a real tough battle.

"Why are you in such a hurry, Ying Bu? You are quite smart. Think about it. Why did the Prime Minister transfer the entire Third Army Corps here just to defend Hanzhong? With the might of our army, let alone all of them, even if there were only 10,000 troops guarding the city, and Wang Ben was attacking, could he capture a city within a month?"

Zhang Liang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Ying Bu with a smile, as if he was a monkey being teased.

At this moment, Ying Bu felt as if his heart was being eaten by millions of ants, and he was restless. He stared at Zhang Liang with wide eyes, as if trying to find out some clues from his unfathomable smile.

But Zhang Liang's words were like a blow to the head, and Ying Bu was stunned for a moment. His mind began to work rapidly, thinking about the deep meaning of Zhang Liang's words.

"Yes, why did the Prime Minister transfer the entire Third Legion here? Is it really just to defend Hanzhong?" Ying Bu murmured to himself, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and the expression on his face became surprised.

"The military advisor means that the Prime Minister intends to let us..." Ying Bu was so excited that he was a little incoherent. He quickly stood up and walked quickly to Zhang Liang like a fawning servant.

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Liang interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Alas, I didn't say that. Now it's all your guess." Zhang Liang said innocently, and waved his hand to indicate that he had nothing to do with the matter.

Although Zhang Liang acted so calm, Ying Bu had already made up his mind. His face was filled with joy, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
