"In this way, your future will be cut off, and the future will belong to others, while you will become the pitiful person who is restricted."
So running fast doesn't make you smart; going far is the real key!
Sima Yi watched the group of people working enthusiastically, feeling completely calm and showing no intention of going to compete.
He knew in his heart that these people were all outstanding talents of the time, the smartest of the smart, and that competing with them would undoubtedly be a waste of energy.
Rather than doing something thankless, it's better to shine quietly and wait until those people have exhausted their potential before you finally get your chance to shine.
Meng Huo was completely bewildered and exclaimed in shock, "Although I don't understand it, it sounds amazing!"
At first glance, it seemed absurd, but upon closer inspection, it made sense, which amazed him. It seemed that his commander was also a low-key and intelligent man.
However, this man has quite a few schemes up his sleeve; no wonder the Emperor wanted him to keep an eye on him.
Just then, he suddenly saw many more lights in the sky, which made his eyes light up. He exclaimed excitedly, "General, is this the flying thing that the Emperor invented?"
He didn't have many dreams in his life, but if he could fly just once, he would die without regrets.
"That's right, this is a hot air balloon!"
Looking at the hot air balloons in the distant sky, Sima Yi's eyes flashed with a glint of shrewdness. He sighed, "With these things in the sky, Zhennan is doomed!"
Zhennan had already suffered heavy losses due to the flood.
In this situation, morale has been almost completely depleted, and once the hot air balloon is precisely positioned, things will be far from over.
When the Great Liang launch a precise and decisive attack, none of these million soldiers and civilians will escape; they will all be left behind at Flying Hero Pass.
However, before that, the strategist will probably let the flood wash away the enemy for a day or two, so that the enemy's fighting strength will be reduced to the minimum, and then it will be like a grandfather beating his grandson.
On the other side, Nan Ke finally escaped to the top of the mountain, panting heavily from exhaustion.
The warhorse only carried him a short distance before it couldn't go any further. He had to tumble and crawl up on his own after that, which nearly killed him.
Being sent to follow him is a way for me to learn more and keep an eye on him, which doesn't disobey the Emperor's orders.
Seeing the raging floodwaters below, his face turned extremely pale.
If a flood of this magnitude were to wash away all of our million soldiers and civilians, along with all our supplies, it would probably be completely wiped out.
His heart was breaking, and he couldn't help but roar, " Lin Yi, you're too cruel! You actually came up with such a vicious method to deal with us, it's utterly insane!"
At this moment, Nan Ke couldn't help but burst into tears!
After the flood passed, although he desperately escaped to the mountains, not all of his million-strong army escaped; he only managed to take a few thousand men with him.
The remaining people didn't have time to leave. Apart from a few who managed to find a safe place, the rest would probably die there.
He was completely lost.
Without this million-strong army, how can Zhennan resist the Great Liang?
Zhennan is going to be gone!
A bitter look flashed in Lu Donghuchen's eyes as he said in a deep voice, " Great Liang has probably blocked the entire Dalang Valley, diverting that torrent to my Flying Hero Pass, which is why it has such terrifying power!"
Flying Hero Pass is called a pass because of its unique terrain, which forms a natural military pass. However, this terrain is undoubtedly the most terrifying thing for floods.
With this wave of flooding, apart from a few people who can escape, everyone else will probably perish in the floodwaters; there is simply nowhere to hide!
"You bastard, my million-strong army, my Zhennan Nation!"
Nan Ke looked utterly defeated, cursing Lin Yi in his heart. If it weren't for Lin Yi targeting Zhennan, Zhennan wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
In this situation, how can I turn things around?
If no solution is found, Zhennan may indeed follow in the footsteps of the Yamata Nation and be directly annexed by the Great Liang.
He said in a deep voice, "What do you think of Zan Rihong?"
There was complete silence around them; no one answered!
"Your Majesty, we don't see any ministers!" his personal guard whispered.
It's gone?
Nan Ke's expression changed slightly. He looked at Lu Donghuchen beside him and frowned, saying, " Huchen, where is Zan Rihong? Could he have been washed away by the water?" This was his chief minister; how could he have disappeared?
Cough cough!
Upon hearing this, Lu Donghuchen's eyes flashed with anger, and he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Zan Rihong slipped away alone when Your Majesty was leaving."
"They slipped away?"
Nan Ke's face turned green upon hearing this. This guy actually slipped away by himself. Could it be that he has some way to escape?
He said angrily, "That bastard, he had a plan but didn't call me, and ran away all by himself."
That's so disloyal! I trusted him so much.
Forehead!
Lu Donghuchen hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Your Majesty, Zan Rihong actually informed me before he left, but I didn't agree."
"What? You know why we can't go together?" Nan Ke's face turned green. What was this subordinate thinking?
Why come up this mountain when there's a clear way to walk? Getting down from here is a problem.
Upon hearing this, Lu Donghuchen smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, Zan Rihong told me that Zhennan was beyond saving, and the most dangerous place now is right beside Your Majesty, which is why he left."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Ke jumped to his feet, looking like an enraged rooster with eyes that seemed ready to devour someone.
His entire expression turned ferocious, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You, Zan Rihong, you really are something! When I return to the palace, I will wipe out your entire family!"
That bastard, that's outright betrayal.
When he was in the most danger, this guy actually chose to leave, which was like stabbing Nan Ke in the already wounded heart.
puff!
Nan Ke spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, completely overwhelmed by the successive blows he had suffered today.
"His Majesty!"
Lu Donghuchen quickly helped him up, and then had a guard fetch a doctor to take a look.
Is His Majesty alright?
"It's nothing serious, just a sudden rush of heat to the heart. He'll be fine after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood," the doctor whispered.
kindness!
Lu Donghuchen breathed a sigh of relief. If the king had died at this moment, it would have only added fuel to the fire.
However, I'm not doing well myself these days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer.
With the floodwaters raging and no food or supplies on the mountain, the fact that so many of us had nothing to eat was the most terrifying thing.
If things go wrong, they might starve to death.
Moreover, there's a million-strong army from the Great Liang lurking outside, ready to pounce at any moment. These are all things I need to worry about.
