Chapter 267: The Battle of Yiling (One Hundred and Ten)
(Foreword)
Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

They rashly withdrew the archers on the city wall, undoubtedly trying to give us a chance to attack, but if I really suppressed the army, the archers on the city wall returned to their positions, which would undoubtedly bring heavy damage to our army.
I couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Cheng Yin, what are you still hesitating about, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't have the military power in my hands, otherwise I would definitely lead my troops to rush to the enemy formation, which is much better than doing nothing here, don't you want to leave here? This general's name is more precious than the lives of a few of us? Professor Twilight seems to be anxious to get out of this strange array, but it's no wonder. Time has changed since we entered this strange array, and we all have no idea what time the real world is now.
"When the ...... General, that's very ...... It's a very majestic thing, but ...... But don't ...... Bring your own ...... The majesty of the other ...... Putting someone else's life above !! Hu Zaide also said coldly.
"Cheng Yin, he must have his own ideas, don't talk about him like that." Lin Yun defended me.
"That's it, this war is not a matter of doing math problems, it's a big deal to do something wrong, and the war has never been repeated, Cheng Yin, it's not that he doesn't want to take us out of here, but he is so hesitant to take us out of here." Cui Li also said good things for me.
"Aren't we talking about military intelligence? Some disputes are inevitable, but I believe that we all have the same goal, and we will continue to discuss it calmly. Professor Wu did not take sides, but spoke from an impartial standpoint.
"It's not that I don't agree with the attack on Yiling Pass, it's just that we know too little information, although the Wu army has withdrawn all the archers on the city wall, but Lecturer Hu, have you ever calculated the time it will take if all the archers return to the city wall?" I looked at Hu Zaide and asked.
"This ...... This...... How do I ...... How do you know? "Hu Zaide couldn't answer my question.
"Professor Dujiang, I want to ask you, who is the general of this Shu army?" My tone was low.
"Didn't you ask knowingly? Who else is there but you? Are you trying to say that the military power here is in your hands, and you don't need us to dictate here, right? Professor Twilight was clearly unhappy with such a simple question.
"I didn't mean that, but I was no longer in the Shu army's camp a few days ago, and the enemy army must have known that I was not in the army, so why didn't they come with their troops?" I looked at Professor Twilight.
"They are the defenders of Yiling Pass, how could they think of attacking, and who can know if you are really still in the army, of course they don't dare to lead their troops here, isn't this a normal thing?" Without thinking, Professor Twilight blurted out.
"Good!! Since the enemy knows that they can't be sure whether I am still in the army and dare not rush into the army, then why can we believe that Lu Xun in Jiangdong is no longer in Yiling Pass, he just did not appear on the city wall a few days ago, and it can be concluded that he was removed by Sun Quan based on this point, and what is the reason? I said righteously.
Professor Twilight was obviously unable to answer my question.
"Cheng Yin, Lecturer Hu and I are also anxious, I hope you can leave this strange array quickly, it may be that we are not thoughtful, you don't have to be so angry." Professor Twie said.
"That's it, Cheng Yin, good ideas all need sparks to collide, we just express our opinions, and you don't have to care about it." Professor Wu played the round.
"I didn't get angry, I just said what I thought in my heart, and if there is anything wrong, I hope you can point it out and discuss it together." My tone returned to its previous calm.
"That's it, big ...... Let's explore ...... together Exploring ...... Investigate. Although Hu Zaide's tone was still stammering, it became much more relaxed.
"Cheng Yin, do you think that this Dongwu suddenly withdrew the archers defending the city, just to let us attack rashly?" Professor Wu asked.
Actually, I don't know why Soochow removed the archers defending the city, but I know very well that they must have their own plans, and the movable city wall appeared in my mind. Maybe they have other more powerful tricks that they haven't shown. And our rash attack is undoubtedly only a testing stone for them.
"They must have some other more powerful moves, just like the moving city wall before, and there are mechanisms we don't know about, and my rash attack can only be their testing stone." I said.
Everyone's expressions in the military tent were very solemn, the candles were swaying in the air, time did not stop for this, we had to deal with it. Time is of the essence to us. There is a double-edged sword in front of us at this time, and we do need a lot of time to think about the enemy's intentions, but on the other hand, we must unravel this strange array as soon as possible. It was so contradictory that my head started to hurt again.
"Cheng Yin, what's wrong with you?" Professor Wu asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm probably a little tired." My headache this time didn't come up like before. So that means it's time to make up your own minds.
"Since they deliberately want us to attack, why don't we do the opposite, not attack, and wait a little longer?" Cui Li suggested on the side.
"No!! We can't wait for time, but we need to attack Yiling Pass immediately!! My tone was low.
"Attack Yiling Pass immediately? But didn't you say you couldn't attack before? Cui Li looked at me puzzled.
"The way of using soldiers lies in the virtual and the real, the real and the virtual, the virtual and the virtual, the virtual and the real, and the real and the virtual" I looked at Cui Li and said.
Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally had seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).
