After checking it many times and discovering that the content of the ancient book was incomplete, Yu Yi could only accept this reality. In desperation, he opened the video and connected to Kong Ming.
Kong Ming was reading a book. After receiving the video, he stood up and exercised, and said, "I thought you had forgotten me. You haven't sent a video for so long!"
Yu Yi said: "Didn't you send it to me too?"
Kong Ming shook his head and sighed: "Jingzhou is now in a situation of being attacked from two sides. Mrs. Sun has returned to Jiangdong, and there are also cracks in the relationship. I have to find a way to maintain it!"
Yu Yi said: "We put the main contradiction in attacking Xudu, but Sun Quan in Jiangdong is not easy to mess with. He will harass us all the time. Should we adjust our strategy and directly capture Jiangdong and then attack the Central Plains?"
Kong Ming smiled and said, "I didn't think about it that much."
Because of the incompleteness of the ancient book, Yu Yi had been depressed, and said: "Actually, the reason why I can predict the future is because of the ancient book in my hand. During this time, for some reason, the contents of the ancient book began to be incomplete."
After hearing this, Kong Ming understood the reason for Yu Yi's depression and advised: "The so-called cycle of heaven, if you can't predict everything, isn't it going against heaven!"
Yu Yi sighed: "The next thing will be difficult!"
Kong Ming said: "For some reason, I've been feeling a little unwell lately. I'm afraid it's not a good sign!"
Yu Yi said: "Me too, the Snake Sword keeps shaking every night, as if it's reminding me of something!"
Kong Ming said: "No matter what, we must hold on, now is a critical period!"
After the two told each other about the situation, they hung up the video.
After receiving the order, Huang Zhong took his troops to Liu Bei's camp to thank him and then left. Suddenly, a man came in from outside the tent and said: "The old general is very old. I'm afraid it won't be very convenient. Otherwise, I will have nothing to do." Let the talented people go.”
Liu Bei saw that this person was Wei Yan.
Huang Zhong was a little angry and said: "I have already arranged the matter, how dare you come out to help me?"
Wei Yan said: "I know that older people cannot think that their bodies are as healthy as young people. I heard that Lingbao and Deng Xian are famous generals in Shu. They are also young and vigorous. I'm afraid the old generals can't get close to them. , isn’t that delaying the master’s important matter? Now I take the initiative to share the burden, and I have a good intention!”
Huang Zhong was very angry after hearing this and said angrily: "You said I am very old, how about we compare?"
Wei Yan said: "Well, let's have a competition in front of the Lord. Whoever can win can go, how about it?"
Huang Zhong nodded, walked gently to the bottom of the steps, asked someone to bring weapons, and prepared to start the competition.
Liu Bei hurriedly came out to stop him and said: "No! Now I am leading my troops to attack Xichuan, all relying on the abilities of the two of you. If you compete now, you will definitely be injured. That will delay the important matter. Don't compete. No, it doesn’t make any sense.”
At this time, Yu Yi also entered the camp and said with a smile: "Actually, this matter is very simple. If you want to prove your ability, there is no need to compete. Now, aren't Lingbao and Deng Xian deploying two camps? It's just right. You two, one each, will attack with your own troops, and whoever of you can knock down the enemy's camp first will be the winner."
Wei Yan said: "This is very good, but the enemy's camps are at different distances and their troop strength is different. Absolute fairness cannot be guaranteed!"
After hearing this, the two started to quarrel, and they still wanted to test out the difference.
Pang Tong said: "This is actually very simple. Two people draw lots, and whoever they catch will attack!"
Huang Zhong said: "This cannot guarantee fairness. Let's decide who is better, lest General Wei Yan always thinks that I am very old."
Pang Tong was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he still couldn't persuade him.
Yu Yi said: "Since you must compete, it's not impossible. Just use me as a reference. I consider myself to be average in martial arts. Whoever of you can defeat me in the shortest time can choose the target to attack!"
Liu Bei said: "Fourth brother, such a competition will definitely cause harm!"
Yu Yi smiled and said: "It just so happens that I haven't had a good fight in a long time, so I can stretch my muscles!"
So he set up a posture in front of the camp, and Wei Yan came to challenge him first. Yu Yi took out the spider painting halberd, looked at Wei Yan with all his attention, and whispered: "General Wei Yan, show mercy!" After saying that, he attacked and the two of them fought five times. More than ten rounds, no winner or loser.
Wei Yan felt that he had no upper hand, and thought that Huang Zhong might not be able to last fifty rounds in the battle, so he stepped back and said: "The general's martial arts are superb, I really admire him!"
Then Yu Yi and Huang Zhong fought. Huang Zhong looked very old, but his martial arts was superb, which made Yu Yi a little unable to resist.
Wei Yan looked very surprised and regretted his previous carelessness.
After fifty rounds, Huang Zhong also stopped.
As soon as the competition ended, Yu Yi said: "Then according to the results of the competition, Huang Zhong will attack Lingbao Village, and Wei Yan will attack Dengxian Village."
This time, the two of them left quickly with their troops without any hesitation or quarrel.
He didn't expect that Yu Yi's martial arts would improve to this point. Liu Bei was impressed and praised: "The rapid progress of my fourth brother's martial arts is really unexpected."
Yu Yi smiled and nodded, saying: "General Huang Zhong is very simple, but General Wei Yan is more selfish."
Liu Bei said: "Both of them are my right-hand men. This time I attack Xichuan, I have to rely on them. Try to be as balanced as possible."
Pang Tong said: "Although General Yuyi has temporarily stabilized them, the two of them have such personalities that they may quarrel on the road! My lord can bring troops and horses as backup."
In order to ensure the stability of the rear, Liu Bei asked Pang Tong and Yu Yi to guard the city, and he, Liu Feng, and Guan Ping followed with five thousand soldiers and horses.
After Huang Zhong returned to the camp, he ordered the fourth watch to prepare food the next day, and when the fifth watch was over, he would attack when it was dark and take the valley on the left.
Wei Yan had been keeping his thoughts in mind, secretly asking when Huang Zhong would raise his troops, and when he came back to report, he said: "They make food at the fourth watch and raise their troops at the fifth watch!"
Wei Yan was very happy when he found out, so he asked everyone to make food at the second watch, and raised troops at the third watch to go to Deng Xian's stronghold.
The sergeant received the order, ate and drank enough, picked up the bells on his horse, picked up his title, rolled up his flag and put on his armor, and secretly went to rob the camp.
After the third watch, when they were very close to the camp, Wei Yan thought on the horse halfway: "If you go to attack Deng Xian's camp, you will not be able to show your strength at all. It is better to attack Lingbao camp first, and then go after the victory." By attacking Dengxian Village, the credit for both places will be ours."
So he ordered the military advisor to go to the mountain road on the left. The sky was bright and it was not far from the Lingbao camp. He asked the military commander to take a short rest and arrange the golden drums, flags, flags, guns, knives and equipment.
