Chapter 645: There are still people who think the enemy is not strong enough!

In the study, there is a huge military map. Military maps are priceless treasures for any force, and they cannot be hung up for display at will. Even if it is to look at the map, not every general has the qualifications. However, at this moment, Wu Rui didn't care about these. After he rushed into the study, he immediately unfolded the map without saying a word and examined it attentively.

As his eyes slowly moved on the map, Wu Rui's brows furrowed, and his uneasiness grew stronger. The more he looked, the more he felt that this matter was very strange, and there must be a huge mystery hidden in it. When his eyes finally fell on the location of Dongjiao County, his doubts were finally confirmed - Gao Yao's true intentions were revealed!

Gao Yao, relying on the powerful advantage of his navy, actually attempted to go all the way north and directly capture Dongjiao County! This discovery shocked Wu Rui, as he never expected Gao Yao's ambition to be so great.

At this moment, Wu Rui suddenly realized that the so-called large army outside Nanjun City was just a bluff! Where is the real army? This is a complete illusion deliberately created by Gao Yao! His purpose in doing this is nothing more than to attract Han Xin's attention and create favorable conditions for his military operations.

And what about me? I was so stupid to believe all this! Especially Wu Yan's death, which made Wu Rui feel heartbroken. Wu Yan used his life to buy Wu Rui a chance to delay time! But in the end, they still fell completely into Gao Yao's calculations, and not only that, Wu Yan also lost his precious life for this.

When Wu Rui thought of this, he felt as if his heart was cut by a knife, and he was in great pain. Although it was indeed Wu Can who made the mistake, he was his son after all. How could he punish him severely? The real culprit was actually Gao Yao! Thinking of this, Wu Rui's anger was completely ignited. He decided not to sit and wait for death, but to take some actions that were completely unexpected by Gao Yao, Zhang Liang and others.

"Someone come!" Following Wu Rui's roar, the guards at the door immediately rushed in and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty!"

"Immediately! Right now! Pass the message to me! Let the entire army assemble quickly! I will personally lead the army to conquer Gaoyao! I, Wu Rui, swear I will not be a human being if I don't avenge this! This is simply a great humiliation to me, how can I tolerate it!" Wu Rui roared with his hair standing on end, his eyes wide open, and a face full of anger.

"Yes, sir!" The messenger did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. After receiving the order, he rushed away like an arrow to convey Wu Rui's order.

At this time, Wu Rui had reached the limit of his patience. He could no longer endure it. He had been giving in step by step, trying his best to avoid a direct war with Gao Yao, so as not to become the first force to be sacrificed in this war. However, Gao Yao continued to push forward, constantly provoking and bullying Wu Rui, pushing his patience to the limit.

But Wu Rui did not do this just on impulse, he had already made plans in mind. He knew very well that it was not only himself who was anxious this time, but also Wei Bao. Once Wei Bao learned of Gao Yao's actions, he would definitely try his best to stop Han Xin and would never let Gao Yao easily occupy Dongjiao. Because in this way, Gao Yao could attack Wei Bao at any time, which was a situation that Wei Bao absolutely could not tolerate.

Wu Rui could roughly estimate in his mind that even if he sent troops to Donghui County immediately, it would probably be too late. At this time, it was almost impossible to successfully intercept Han Xin. After careful consideration, Wu Rui resolutely decided to adopt a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

On the surface, he would lead his army to support Donghui County with great fanfare, making the enemy mistakenly believe that his target was there. But in fact, his real plan was to send an ambush force to quietly cross the river.

At present, the biggest obstacle between Wu Rui and Gao Yao is the Yangtze River. At this time, the situation is more favorable to Gao Yao, because he has a large number of naval forces, which puts him in a favorable position to attack or defend. Under such circumstances, Wu Rui is naturally in a very passive situation and can only passively take the beating. Once he tries to fight back, Gao Yao can easily retreat to the back of the Yangtze River, leaving Wu Rui helpless.

However, Wu Rui did not intend to sit still and wait for death. Since Gao Yao had used a sleight of hand on him, he decided to give Gao Yao a taste of his own medicine. He secretly sent people to prepare a large number of boats to cross the river. Once he successfully crossed the river, he planned to launch a surprise attack on Wu She's troops to avenge Wu Yan.

At the same time, Gao Yao's letter arrived in Bashu as fast as lightning and fell into the hands of Zhang Liang and Ying Bu. When Ying Bu unfolded the letter and read Gao Yao's order, he was so excited that he seemed to be ignited.

"Hahahaha!" Ying Bu's laughter echoed in the tent. He said excitedly: "The military advisor is really a genius! Everything is just as the military advisor predicted. The prime minister actually uses us as a surprise force!"

Ying Bu strode into the tent, smiling broadly as he shared his joy with Zhang Liang. However, Zhang Liang did not seem particularly surprised by all this, and he smiled slightly, as if all these things were within his expectations.

"I have sent out scouts to closely monitor Wang Ben's every move. As long as he makes any move, we will be able to detect it immediately." Zhang Liang said calmly, "Then it will be the best time for us to send troops."

After hearing this, Ying Bu calmed down a little and nodded in agreement. But he immediately put forward his own opinion: "However, military advisor, I think that even if Wang Ben is still in Hanzhong, we are fully capable of directly attacking it. This should not be a difficult task for our army. Without Wang Ben, this battle will be less interesting."

At this time, Ying Bu's mentality began to become somewhat arrogant again, as if he had forgotten the previous lesson. However, when he accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhang Liang's sharp eyes, his heart tightened, and his original arrogance was instantly suppressed.

Ying Bu was now convinced by Zhang Liang. He knew that Zhang Liang's wisdom and tactics were incomparable to ordinary people. Therefore, facing Zhang Liang's reprimand, he could only listen honestly and did not dare to refute at all.

"You, if the Prime Minister were here, I'm afraid you would suffer again!" Zhang Liang said unhappily, revealing his dissatisfaction with Ying Bu. After all, Ying Bu's arrogant attitude could ruin things at a critical moment.
