Mythical Three Kingdoms-Chapter 1491 - 1435: Contact

However, Dong Zhao’s biggest problem is that his judgment is not very good. He can’t directly guide reality with judgment like Guo Jia, nor can he slightly contemplate and choose the best plan among hundreds like Zhong Yao.

Therefore, although Dong Zhao has quite a good spiritual talent, he made a wrong judgment during the Yuan Liu battle and was nearly killed, directly listed as a character to be dealt with by Jia Xu.

"It seems this is indeed the case. Well, I won’t make things difficult for you anymore." Sheni Pei sighed and said, "At least for now, your choices are indeed correct."

"Now the opponent is the Huns. Do you have any good strategies?" Sheni Pei asked Cui Jun and Dong Zhao, but both remained silent.

"Prepare to break through." Seeing their silence, Sheni Pei said, "At this point, I don’t want to make things difficult for you anymore."

Afterward, Sheni Pei waved, indicating that they could leave. At this stage, Sheni Pei had already seen this matter clearly. These two would be important forces to preserve the Yuan Family in the future.

After leaving, Cui Jun sighed. Honestly, he did not expect it to end this way, with Sheni Pei not pursuing the matter.

"Gong Ren, how about following Lord Xuande with me?" Cui Jun asked.

"No, I have no choice." Dong Zhao said with a bitter smile. If he could, he really wanted to pledge to Liu Bei, but unfortunately, doing so would seem accidental but actually die at Jia Wenhe’s hands. For someone adept at self-preservation, life is precious.

Cui Jun looked at Dong Zhao in confusion, but Dong Zhao did not respond. Although his spiritual talent sometimes erred due to his judgment, Dong Zhao, regardless of any mistake this time, opted to keep his distance from Jia Xu, as he didn’t want to die inexplicably.

Zhuge Liang led a part of the Huns’ forces away from Jicheng towards the ambush location he had prepared. He already understood the combat power of the Hun People, which indeed did not lose to the elites of the Han Dynasty, but the Huns’ main force was not abundant.

Thus, some plans had implementation value; hitting the snake at its critical point, population obviously being the Huns’ Achilles’ heel.

Meanwhile, Bingzhou’s army was almost entirely deployed, partly trusting the pressure left by Lyu Bu’s ascendancy to intimidate the Hu People, and partly because, under the current situation, Cao Cao had to secure Bingzhou.

For Chen Gong, who has unlocked spiritual talent, many matters are clear at a glance. For instance, after leaving Bingzhou this time, Chen Gong with unlocked spiritual talent would not have perceived some details, but now having unlocked it, he understands that leaving Bingzhou this time, they might never return.

Although Chen Gong doesn’t know where Liu Bei will dispatch them, the opponent is undoubtedly a strong enemy. With Chen Gong’s intelligence surpassing human limits, Liu Bei’s approach to preserve the vitality of the Central Plains is clear.

Based on this point, with Chen Gong’s current intelligence, he can deduce that Liu Bei’s faction’s goal is not in the Central Plains but with even more distant enemies.

Only an enemy so formidable that the broken Central Plains can’t contend with would cause a high-ambition monarch to be so cautious, because Liu Bei, seemingly powerful, on another aspect may not be so, as strength and weakness are never absolute.

[Who will our opponent be, to make Chen Zichuan so cautiously calculate every step, endeavoring to preserve every ounce of strength--this is indeed exhilarating.] Chen Gong raced his horse, continually analyzing these details in his mind.

[For now, the most important thing is to defeat the Huns. However, based on the current situation among the Hun People, their main force may not be abundant, meaning the force may be many times ours. Nonetheless, if the main force collapses, a complete rout can follow.]

"Huh, what’s that?" Zhang Liao’s vision was exceptionally good, seeing a backward-moving cloud in the sky from afar, shining brilliantly in the morning sun.

Chen Gong raised his head according to the situation, slightly frowned, and then a smile appeared on his face, "It seems the situation is better than we thought. Sheni Zhengnan indeed is not to be underestimated; he actually dared to take such a gamble in this situation. All troops, listen to orders, switch horses for a rapid charge!"

Chen Gong said to Zhang Liao beside him. Although Zhang Liao did not understand, he still conveyed this message to all soldiers. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry did not dismount at all but saw an overall alternation, immediately switching to another horse, swiftly increasing their marching speed.

"What is this?" In the north, Zhuge Liang, after annihilating the enemy army led by the leader of a thousand seeking him, inadvertently raised his head to see the cloud shining brilliantly in the morning sun.

"What are you looking at, Kongming?" Zhang Fei came shrouded in blood to inquire.

"Our opportunity has arrived; unfortunately, the time is a bit tight." Zhuge Liang, whose spiritual talent was activated, looked at the cloud shining brilliantly in the morning sun and said with a smile, "Indeed unexpected, Sheni Zhengnan, even at such times, has such audacity, worthy of being an enemy extremely valued by Master Li and Marquis Chen, indeed remarkable."

Zhang Fei looked at the cloud, completely unable to discern anything different; though the backward movement was unusually strange, just this alone, how could he see what Zhuge Liang was referring to?

Possibly seeing Zhang Fei’s expression, Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Morning glow, don’t go out, evening glow travels a thousand li, General Zhang, you have heard this, haven’t you?"

"That I know, but what’s the matter?" Zhang Fei said with a puzzled expression.

"That morning glow is created, so naturally the purpose isn’t to stay in, but to correspondingly travel a thousand li, meaning urgency for our current situation, and time is naturally not something to say, sunset time." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Speaking of which, he hadn’t thought of using such a means of communication, but when that backward-moving cloud appeared in his view, Zhuge Liang instantly deduced this information.

Jia Xu commanded Fa Zheng to be added as military advisor, taking initiative, and knowing current moments being of utmost importance, Fa Zheng didn’t delay at all, led his troops north swiftly, relying on the astounding speed of White Horse Soldiers, the distance to Jicheng now was just a day’s journey.

"What is that?" Fa Zheng frowned while staring at the cloud moving backward in the eastern sky; he knew this certainly was someone’s method of conveying information, but Fa Zheng innately was not good at guessing riddles, only adept at calculating hearts, seeing that cloud, he couldn’t understand its implication.

"Looks like someone is pushing that cloud." Zhao Yun also noticed at this time.

"Yes, and given such a long distance, the opponent’s spiritual capacity surpasses mine, so very likely it’s Sheni Pei or Kongming, but I completely don’t understand what they mean by doing this." Fa Zheng didn’t hide his shortcomings in front of Zhao Yun; during Mount Tai’s initial construction, they began working together, knowing each other thoroughly now.
