Pengcheng, a caravan arrived and was received by Ya's father Fan Zeng.

An old man with gray hair got off the carriage and met Fan Zeng, who was about the same age.

"Sima Yi, I didn't expect you to have the courage to come to Pengcheng in person. Are you not afraid that I will put you under house arrest in Pengcheng and then annex your troops?"

Fan Zeng was leaning on a wooden stick and staring at Sima Yi. The two of them had deep eyes and were equally unfathomable.

General Long Ji was next to Fan Zeng as an escort.

With Long Qi's guard, Fan Zeng was not worried that Sima Yi would assassinate him. Instead, Sima Yi was worried that he would anger Fan Zeng and then be taken down by Long Qi.

Sima Yi looked calm, "I can help you to obtain the Central Plains, but I don't believe you will imprison me in Pengcheng."

Sima Yi's momentum fluctuated in an instant, and he wanted to understand what Fan Zeng was thinking.

This is Sima Yi's spiritual talent "mind reading technique".

"snort!"

The wooden stick in Fan Zeng's hand hit the ground, and a spiritual fluctuation attacked Sima Yi!

Sima Yi's mind hurt, but he forced himself to endure it.

"As long as the rumors are, Yafu can attack people's spirit."

Sima Yi intends to test Fan Zeng's methods.

Fan Zeng was secretly surprised.

His mental attack can severely attack ordinary generals and have considerable effects on first-class generals.

But Sima Yi only had a stinging pain, but there was no other discomfort, which showed that Sima Yi's spirit was quite strong, no less than Fan Zeng.

Sima Yi was also secretly surprised because his mind reading skills were ineffective against Fan Zeng.

Both of them are first-class strategists and they can't do anything to each other.

"Since your Jin State surrenders to our Great Chu, I will naturally treat you with courtesy. If you want to talk about it in detail, how can you obtain the Central Plains?"

Fan Zeng led Sima Yi into the mansion while talking.

"As far as I know, Zhang Hua transferred at least 100,000 troops from the Central Plains and entered Guanzhong. The Central Plains are empty, and this is a good opportunity to obtain the Central Plains."

"You mean, borrow troops from me?"

With Fan Zeng's wisdom, as soon as Sima Yi spoke, Fan Zeng understood what Sima Yi was thinking.

"Yes. With my troops, even if the defense in the Central Plains is empty, it is difficult to attack. What's more, there is an opponent in the Central Plains that I am not willing to face."

"Oh? And someone you don't want to deal with? Who is he?"

"The village man in Zhuge... no, to be precise, it should be Zhuge Kongming."

"Zhuge Kongming..."

Fan Zeng had never heard of this person, probably a counselor in later generations.

However, Fan Zeng has recognized Sima Yi as an opponent of the same level, so the people who are afraid of Sima Yi should also be on the same level as them.

"This person is good at governing the country and strategizing. He is my destined enemy. If your Chu army wants to obtain the Central Plains, this person will be your most powerful opponent."

Sima Yi has a high opinion of Zhuge Liang, his archenemy.

"How many legions do you think you need to use to obtain the Central Plains?"

"The State of Chu must dispatch the four major legions of Fenglin Volcano and do their best to win."

"As for using the four legions of Fenglin Volcano?"

Fan Zeng believed that Sima Yi attached too much importance to the strength of the Xia army.

"If you want to win completely, you won't have enough to use Fenglin Volcano. If you invest less troops, you may lose both sides."

"I see."

Seeing Sima Yi's face was solemn, Fan Zeng knew the logic of Sima Yi.

Sima Yi believes that the more troops you invest, the better, so that you can reduce losses.

"I heard that Ying Bu, the rebel general of our Chu State, will serve under your command. You hand over Ying Bu."

Fan Zeng mentioned Ying Bu, whether it was Long Ji, Zhongli Mei, or Ji Bu, all of them were moved.

Ying Bu was once the first general under Xiang Yu. He followed Xiang Yu to participate in the Battle of Julu and served as a vanguard general, defeating Zhang Han and Wang Li, a famous general in the late Qin Dynasty.

However, after Ying Bu was named King of Jiujiang by Xiang Yu for the contribution of the Battle of Julu, he developed a strange intention, preserved his strength, and obeyed Xiang Yu's orders.

In comparison, Long Qi fought with Han Xin for Xiang Yu and was defeated and died.

The two's loyalty to Xiang Yu is not on the same level.

Sima Yi rejected Fan Zeng: "Ying Bu came to surrender to me. If I hand over Ying Bu, what credibility will I have in the future to govern the subordinates? Please forgive me for refusal."

Fan Zeng stopped and looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he knows that he can't hand over Yingbu.

Ying Bu is a general at the level of the Five Tiger Generals, and is indispensable for Sima Yi, who lacks strong generals.

In addition, because of Fan Zeng's words, handing over a powerful general will undoubtedly affect Sima Yi's prestige.

"court death!"

Long Qi reached out to grab Sima Yi.

Sima Yi still looked calm.

He didn't believe that Fan Zeng would kill him because Sima Yi still had value.

"Long, stop."

Sure enough, Fan Zeng, who was determined to be the world, did not take Ying Bu seriously.

It is true that Ying Bu is a very strong general, but Long Jie and Liu Bang can lead troops to defeat Ying Bu.

There is no need to give up Sima Yi, a friendly army for the sake of Ying Bu.

If it were Xiang Yu, he might not understand the choices, but Fan Zeng's heart is like a mirror.

Long Jie let go of Sima Yi unwillingly.

Sima Yi sorted out his messy clothes: "When he gained the world, he would get rid of Yingbu, and he would still have the value of exploitation."

"You think the same as mine."

Fan Zeng glanced at Sima Yi with appreciation.

If the Chu-Han conflict had occurred, there would have been Zhang Liang and Chen Ping in Liu Bang, and Fan Zeng and Sima Yi in Xiang Yu, and Fan Zeng believed that the Chu army might not have lost.

Fan Zeng said calmly: "Fenglin Volcano, four major legions, can be dispatched at any time."

Sima Yi seemed to be talking to himself: "Zhuge Villageman, this time I borrowed the four major legions of Fenglin Volcano from Western Chu to see how you deal with it."

...

In Yangdi, Zhuge Liang is training five hundred Zhuge crossbow soldiers.

Wars are tight everywhere, Sima Yi is ready to move, and Zhuge Liang is responsible for guarding the Central Plains, with unprecedented pressure.

Huang Yueying escorted five hundred Zhuge crossbows and came to this city to form the Zhuge crossbow camp.

Zhuge crossbow soldiers and ninth-level crossbow soldiers are a huge killing weapon in Zhuge Liang's hand.

"In the Central Plains, the astrological signs are dim and uncertain. If the stars of the Farma appear, there will be war disasters."

Zhuge Liang observed the celestial phenomena at night and had a faint premonition of anxiety.

"It seems that more city defenses must be built."

Huang Yueying, who mastered the Mohist mechanism, decided to upgrade the city defense.

"I'll try it out and deduce the future."

Zhuge Liang's mastery of Qimen Dunjia was far beyond Song Xiance. He not only knew the good and bad luck, but also saw fragments of time and space related to himself in the future.

Although this ability is not perfect, it is already a talent that is against the sky.

Zhuge Liang set up a formation, placed magic weapons, and forced himself to peek at the fragments of the future.

"This is... Fenglin Volcano!"

Zhuge Liang was shocked when he saw the war that was not long after.
