Sima Yi's plan is proceeding in an orderly manner, and it only takes one opportunity to turn the wild forest upside down.
On the other side, the reinforcements sent by Li Feng before setting off also met Guan Yu early.
When Guan Yu saw the two brothers of the opposite sex whom he was very familiar with, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he actually wanted to compete with Zhang Fei for hegemony.
"Big brother! Third brother!"
"Second brother!" "Second brother!"
The three people hugged each other hard twice in an instant. Seeing this scene, the others were all wondering who these two people were and why their commander was so close to them.
But first of all, Guan Yu has great majesty, and secondly, if he doesn't know the situation clearly, it will be troublesome if he violates any taboos.
Therefore, everyone remained vigilantly silent and wanted to find out the specific context first.
Looking at the two newcomers, one is as tall as a bear, with black fur, dark skin, and a big stubble face that can scare someone to death in the middle of the night.
The eight-foot-long snake spear (fake) carried on the shoulder is even more terrifying. It is not much better than the commander's Qinglong Yanyue Sword, but it just feels like it lacks a sense of charm and momentum.
This is naturally because this weapon is an imitation, and the Zhangba Snake Spear, the actual weapon used by Zhang Fei, has not yet been crafted.
The other had enlarged ears that seemed to cover half of his face, and he exuded a vague aura of benevolence, which made people unconsciously feel familiar.
At the same time, the double swords that this man is equipped with add to his majesty, making him look like the majesty of the lord of a country.
Regardless of what everyone thought, Guan Yu gave a rare laugh and said, "Come on, eldest brother and third brother, let's go in and drink!"
Liu Bei hesitated slightly and said: "Second brother, this army is drinking..."
Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "No problem, the area here has been cleaned up, and there is no one without eyesight. Besides, it's just a few drinks, it doesn't matter."
Zhang Fei's rough voice sounded like a lion's roar: "Hahaha, second brother is really happy this time, but it's just a few drinks and it's not fun. Is there any other way for second brother?"
After Guan Yu pondered for a while, he shook his head and said: "Drinking is already taboo in the army. A few drinks is the limit. When we win the victory and return to the territory, we can have a good drink with my third brother!"
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "In that case, second brother, we have an agreement!"
"Yeah." Guan Yu nodded slightly.
Entering the camp, the three of them drank several drinks, and their faces turned slightly red.
Zhang Fei praised: "The wine in the territory is really refreshing and good! But after a few glasses, I feel a little drunk. I really can't get enough!"
Liu Bei also smiled and said: "This wine is much better than the wine we had at that time. Even those famous wines that were popular for a while are far inferior to it. It is mellow and powerful!"
Guan Yu said with a proud look on his face: "That's natural. This is a fine wine refined with the master's method. At that time, it was worth a thousand dollars!"
The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
After drinking for three minutes and reminiscing about old times, the three of them returned to the topic.
Guan Yu asked: "My lord sent you here, do you have any other instructions?"
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei shook their heads and said, "No, I just want to listen to your arrangements."
Then, Zhang Fei said impatiently: "Second brother, are there any fights now? After these days of leisure, my bones are getting rusty."
Guan Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't worry, you have come at the right time. Sima Military Advisor is planning a big battle. It will definitely give you a good fight!"
"Hahahaha, that's good, that's good!" Zhang Fei was overjoyed and his voice rumbled.
Liu Bei stroked his forehead helplessly and scolded: "Third brother, you should change your irritable temper, otherwise you will suffer big losses at any time."
A hint of cunning flashed across Zhang Fei's big copper bell-like eyes, but it only passed by in a flash and was difficult to detect. He still laughed and said: "Brother, don't worry, there are very few people who can make me, Zhang Yide, suffer!"
Liu Bei shook his head: "You, you, you."
Then, he turned to Guan Yu and asked: "Then what should we do next, Yunchang?"
Guan Yu said mysteriously: "Wait, and plant trees."
"Waiting to plant trees?" Liu Bei and Zhang Fei looked at each other, confused.
"Second brother, can you elaborate?"
Guan Yu smiled and said: "This is still the strategy of Sima Military Advisor. Do you know that we, the eldest brother and the third brother, have a powerful Xuanmu Army in Fenglin Town, but they are unable to use it freely due to many restrictions?"
Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "Is it the Xuanmu Army that the second brother is talking about? But I heard that this army must have Xuanmu Forest. Wait, the second brother is saying..."
Guan Yu laughed and said: "Yes, the tree we want to plant is this black tree!"
"According to Sima Military Advisor's instructions, we need to secretly plant this black wood around Lingyun Valley, so that the entire Lingyun Valley and the surrounding area will form a black wood field. In this way, the black wood army can show its power!"
"But this is just planting a circle outside it. Will it have the corresponding effect?" Liu Bei hesitated.
Guan Yu explained: "Big brother knows one thing but not the other. The Xuanmu Army's combat area is covered by the Xuanmu field, not just in places where Xuanmu is lush."
"As long as the number of black trees planted around it reaches a certain amount, a huge black wood field can be formed to cover the inside and outside."
"Although it does have some impact, as long as the scope is not too exaggerated, it will not affect the strength of the Xuanmu Army's second-ranked soldiers."
"Sima Military Advisor has already surveyed this point. There is enough space outside Lingyun Valley to plant a black wood field covering the entire Lingyun Valley."
Liu Bei nodded slightly: "That's the case, I'm relieved."
Zhang Fei was a little depressed: "Planting trees? It's so boring. Oh, second brother, can't you do other work?"
Guan Yu glanced at him: "There are still options for training. Of course, if the third brother is too lonely, he can also lead the new soldiers to patrol around the perimeter to see if there are any new bandits."
"However, those weak opponents cannot let the third brother have all the fun. It is better to save more strength to cope with the subsequent battle."
Liu Bei also advised: "Yes, third brother. What the second brother said makes sense. Since there is a war, we don't need to be in a hurry."
Zhang Fei said: "Oh, okay, the eldest and second brothers say so, then I can plant trees with peace of mind."
Guan Yu said with a smile: "Third brother, don't underestimate this kind of tree. In order not to attract the attention of the inner circle, you often have to march thousands of miles. It cannot be done without elites."
"If even one of the steps goes wrong, Sima Military Advisor's plan may be ruined."
"So if third brother wants to do this job, he must remember not to be impatient."
"I know, I know. Although I, Zhang Yide, am a rough man, I am not stupid. I know what to do." Zhang Fei laughed.
"That's good." Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other and nodded.
After deciding on the strategy of planting trees and waiting, day after day passed in the blink of an eye.
Until today, Sima Yi finally felt that he was done.
Even in the core area of Lingyun Valley, it is enough to be able to feel the faint spread of the field in 19 years.
As long as this field exists, Maplewood Town is equivalent to an additional 10,000 soldiers, which is a larger number than all other soldiers currently combined.
At the same time, it can definitely be regarded as an absolute force in the inner circle, which can be used as a super trump card for a powerful force to suppress the bottom of the box.
In addition, Sima Yi's arrangement in Lingyun Valley has been basically completed. Many of Gu Changfeng's confidants have been connected by him. As long as he gives an order, they can act according to the plan.
All that's left is the last two steps, poisoning and spreading the news.
Now that we already know who the 25 are, why should we be polite?
The reason why it was not resolved before was because it was afraid that the commotion would be too great and stimulate Xie Feng Ya to immediately launch an attack and destroy Lingyun Valley, whose strength was greatly reduced.
But as long as the movement is smaller, what if Xie Feng Ya doesn't notice it? Kill these rebels quietly!
For example, poison!
It's not like Gu Changfeng and Sima Yi didn't think of this method before, but conditions didn't allow it.
People who can become high-level people in Lingyun Valley, whether they are rebels or not, have absolutely no say in terms of their strength. Not to mention whether ordinary poisons can harm them, they may find out the clues before they even enter.
Moreover, after killing these rebels, Lingyun Valley's apparent strength will be greatly reduced. Let's not talk about civil strife or not, then it will not only be the prying eyes of Xie Feng Cliff, but other powers will also wait and see to get a share of the pie.
Therefore, the poisoning plan was rejected by Gu Changfeng at the first opportunity, but Sima Yi still paid attention.
As long as these rebels can be killed silently, will other things still be a problem?
What do the many Gu Changfeng confidants he has privately contacted do? As long as the rebels are gone, he will soon be able to regain control of the entire Lingyun Valley.
As for without these "backbones", Lingyun Valley's strength will be greatly reduced?
Isn't this bullshit? Lingyun Valley's strength has not diminished, and Sima Yi really doesn't dare to dance with wolves.
The purpose of Maple Forest Town is not to form a single force in the inner circle, but to find an opportunity to open the road to Qiancheng.
Therefore, the first thing is to make the surrounding forces fearful and not dare to act rashly.
What Sima Yi wants to do is to go one step further. Not only must he be afraid, but he must also hold three points of fear. This is the most appropriate thing.
In order to achieve this goal, Xiefengya is the chicken he prepared to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and the forces outside Lingyun Valley and Xiefengya are the monkey.
As for Lingyun Valley, it was Maplewood Town that made the inner circle take a knife in fear!
However, this knife is incomplete, and with the addition of the Xuanmu Army with the blessing of the field, it is the truly sharp blade!
In order to make this sharp blade last as long as possible, it is necessary to hide the secret that the Xuanmu Army can only explode with super strength in the Xuanmu field, otherwise the deterrent effect will be almost nonexistent.
Of course, Sima Yi did not leave any backup options for this.
Maplewood Town's own strength and Lingyun Valley's strength after clearing up the internal troubles are another knife that Sima Yi makes the inner circle fear.
In Sima Yi's plan, there are two battlefields, Lingyun Valley is just one of them, and Xiefeng Cliff is the other.
When Sima Yi used the two or five boys in Lingyun Valley to deliver false news to Xie Feng Ya and let Xie Feng Ya's army invade, he didn't know that his empty nest had been targeted by Maple Forest Town.
In this way, tying down the two top forces in the inner circle at once would be enough to make other forces feel jealous and even fearful.
