The next day.
Xing Daorong brought the wine jar and met E Huan. The two cherished each other and then drank and talked happily.
E Huan promised that as long as Gaoding surrendered to Liu Mang, he would follow the Han to the death and would never have second thoughts.
At the same time, it was revealed that Gai Yongkai was the one who was obstructing all the rebellions.
Although Xing Daorong failed to persuade E Huan to surrender directly, he also brought news to Liu Mang.
"Daorong, good job."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!"
"E Huan will stay with you and be your little brother from now on!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the two of us will protect you to the death!"
Liu Mang waved his hand and then discussed with the generals.
"Gaoding is an interesting person. Seeing that E Huan could not defeat Dao Rong, he led his army to retreat to the south bank of Lushui River."
Pang De said: "Your Majesty, if our army crosses the river directly, it will definitely be hit by half."
"This matter needs long-term consideration. After all, we are not the Jingzhou Navy! If Xingba is here, we will have no worries!"
Liu Mang praised: "In the past year, Lingming has become more and more like a general. No wonder my second uncle often praises you."
Pound was so humble that he didn't even dare to say anything.
"Your Majesty, this matter may not be turning around."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "I watched the sky last night, and there will be heavy fog today!"
"Our army can determine victory or defeat in one battle!"
When the generals were puzzled, Zhang He, who followed Liu Mang into battle, said, "What Master Zhuge said is true! Even you and I didn't expect that the prince would be able to cross the river, let alone that group of barbarians!"
"This battle is the result of Master Zhuge's ability to predict the enemy's advantage!"
Zhang He did not directly integrate into the atmosphere of Shu Han generals. He preferred to be a solitary minister.
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Liu Mang had no choice but to let him go.
"What Jun Yi said is true."
"Let the soldiers bury the pots to make rice and rest early! In the evening we will cross the Lu River and go straight to Gaoding!"
Across the Lushui River.
Gaoding faced off with the Han army, and having Lushui as a barrier gave him a little more confidence to defeat Liu Mang.
"Your Majesty, do we underestimate the Han army too much?"
E Huan reminded: "Yesterday, I had a drink with Xing Daorong in order to explore the reality of the Han army."
"As far as I know, even if he is as strong as Xing Daorong, he cannot even rank among the top twenty in the Han army!"
"To deal with characters like us, none of the Five Tiger Generals are here!"
Gao Ding sneered and said: "Five Tiger Generals? Do we still have few people in Nanzhong who can capture the dragon and subjugate the tiger?"
"Or are you saying, E Huan, that you are deliberately raising the ambitions of others and destroying your own prestige?"
"With the Lu River separating us, can the Han army still have wings and fly over?"
E Huan tried hard to persuade him to no avail, so he had to order soldiers to guard him strictly.
"Did you see it? The Han army buried the pot to make rice. They will not be able to fight again today."
"What's more, the river has become foggy now. Even if the Han army wants to cross the river, they will lose their direction. There is nothing to fear!"
Gao Ding signaled everyone to recharge their batteries and prepare for a battle with the Han army in Lushui tomorrow.
The fog on the river is getting thicker and thicker, and even E Huan has decided that in this kind of weather, forcibly crossing the river is no different from committing suicide.
In the heavy fog, it was difficult to confirm the direction. Moreover, the Han army was not the Soochow navy. They might not be able to gather so many ships in a short period of time.
In addition, E Huan has ordered people to strictly keep watch. If there is any disturbance, he will be notified in time.
E Huan also returned to the camp and fell asleep.
That night.
The Han army has moved quietly. Each of the ten men in their hands holds a Si Nan, which is a smaller version of the compass made by Ma Jun, just to facilitate the soldiers to identify the direction.
Rafts, fishing boats, and any other vessel that could be used to cross the river were all recruited by the Han army.
Liu Mang took this action personally and would never take a step back.
Even if Prince Wang is like this, the other generals will take the lead.
"Everyone, see you on the other side!"
"No one is allowed to make a sound."
"In this battle, we must conquer Yue and capture the Yi King!"
After Liu Mang said that, everyone crossed the river directly.
Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei were in the rear.
Jiang Wei, holding the Yitian Sword, accompanied his mentor.
Zhuge Liang was playing a piece of music at this time, as if he was helping the Han army.
"Teacher, is senior brother's plan too risky?"
Looking at the foggy river surface, Jiang Wei couldn't help but feel worried.
"The Crown Prince is not taking risks, but personally experiencing the battlefield to inspire the generals."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Bo Yue, there are two types of generals in this world."
"An instinctive general who relies on intuition to judge situations and take advantage of them."
"They are either geniuses or have a lot of combat experience. Those who are not geniuses must use a lot of combat experience to enhance their intuition."
"The representative figures are Wenhou Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and General Ma Chao."
"They can all seize the ever-changing fighting opportunities! For example, Baima killed Yanliang, Yanjin killed Wenchou!"
"General Zhang defeated Zhang He at Wakou, and Ma Meng defeated Cao Cao from Tongguan!"
"No one can learn from their experience, it all comes from instinct!"
Jiang Wei listened carefully to his teacher's teachings, which was Zhuge Liang's instructions.
"The other type of generals are just the opposite. They gain the experience of their predecessors through reading military books, thereby strengthening themselves."
"For example, Wei Shi, Lu Boyan, Fa Xiaozhi, including the traitor Cao Cao and others."
When Jiang Wei heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, which of these two types of generals is better and worse?"
Zhuge Liang stopped playing the piano and chuckled: "Generally speaking, instinctive generals are strategic generals before they have read military books in the early stages and accumulated a lot of combat experience."
"After all, ready-made previous experience is of great help to strategic generals, while instinctive generals can only cross the river by feeling the stones in battle."
While Jiang Wei was thinking, Zhuge Liang said calmly: "In the later stages, instinctive generals have gained a lot of on-the-spot experience in actual combat."
"This point is very difficult to obtain for strategic generals who have been in the rear of the army for a long time. After all, being in the rear cannot adapt to the situation, and the biggest feature of war is that the forms are ever-changing!"
"So the instinctive generals in the later stage can use their contingency experience to counter the strategic generals, and the strategic generals can only defeat the instinctive generals by 'calculating all strategies' and calculating all the changes."
Although it was only a few words, Zhuge Liang told Jiang Wei all about the chessboard moves between the two sides on the battlefield.
"Teacher, aren't you the representative of Wu Yi Ce?"
"Haha, man's calculation is not as good as God's! Who can beat God?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and touched Jiang Wei's forehead, "No one can be said to have a perfect plan! I hope that Bo Yue will have a keen sense of battlefield while being familiar with military books!"
"Only in this way can you become an instinctive military commander with strategies, just like your senior brother!"
Zhuge Liang held a feather fan and said with a smile: "The battlefield is changing rapidly. In terms of grasping the opportunity of fighting, a teacher is not as good as a prince."
"Of course, I, the big man, still have Wei Wenchang and Deng Shizai. They are the representatives of the next generation of instinctive and strategic types."
"Wen Chang is good at cunning schemes, Shi Zai is good at ambushes, and Jiang Wei is the one you need to learn from!"
