Chapter 51: Sophie's Help (Ask for Follow~)
Hearing Li Gui's words, Sophie fell into a brief silence.
After a while, her voice sounded in Li Gui's mind: "Okay, master." β
Then, immediately after, she spoke again: "Then master, do you need me to find a way for you to stop the white clothes from crossing the river?" β
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Li Gui couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't expect that Sophie, the incarnation of the system, would ask him such a sentence after he refused the system's task.
"What is this? Are the current systems so user-friendly? β
Li Gui complained in his heart, and then, he felt that something was not quite right,
"After all, where did this system avatar come from? If she was born in the Blue Star World, then how did she know about crossing the river in white clothes in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? And what is the purpose of her asking me this question? Do you just want to help me change my life? β
Li Gui thought so, thousands of questions piled up in his mind, but he also knew that now was not the time to pursue these questions after all.
Although he had just uttered that bold statement, in fact, Li Gui still couldn't make up his mind about how to help Mr. Kong Ming change his life against the sky.
The best way he could think of was to kill Lu Meng directly to stop his plan to cross the river in white.
However, this method cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said that it is really not suitable for him.
After all, not to mention the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" life soul world where all the military generals have superpowers, even if it is a low-martial world that conforms to the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", with the strength of the third stage of his life soul power, it is impossible to single-handedly kill Lu Meng, who is protected by tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
So, after thinking for a while, Li Gui asked in a low voice, "Sophie, if you have any good ideas, just tell me quickly." β
"Yes, master."
Sophie's voice is still so ancient, no different from Fang Philo's,
"The method I suggest is mainly through the butterfly effect, in the plot of crossing the river in white, find the part where the direct repulsion of cause and effect is the least, but once it is changed, the impact will be the greatest. Then influence it and make it change. β
Hearing this, Li Gui was stunned for a moment, the other party's words were too awkward, and he didn't react a little.
"Uh...... Can you put it simply? Li Gui said.
"To put it simply, it is to do what you can and within a reasonable range, and gradually change the plot." Seeing this, Sophie had no choice but to lower the level of explanation from a university professor to an elementary school teacher.
"What can you do......
Hearing this, Li Gui thought hard for a while, and then, he shook his head helplessly, and said,
"However, the only thing I can think of is to assassinate Lu Meng and delay his crossing of the river in white, this is the only way......"
Hearing Li Gui's words, Sophie vetoed his idea: "I'm sorry, master, I don't think that with your current strength, assassinating Lu Meng will be within your reach." Judging from my analysis, Lu Meng has at least the strength of the sixth stage of the life soul, and you are probably not his opponent, let alone the so many guards around him. β
Hearing this, Li Gui couldn't help but sigh, the other party's statement was actually the same as what he thought in his heart.
"Don't sell it, just help me analyze what I can do."
Sophie's voice was silent for a moment, and then she came again, explaining in a language that Li Gui could understand:
"Lu Meng's white-clothed surprise attack on Jingzhou is indeed a very wonderful surprise attack in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", however, it is not flawless."
His strategy mainly relied on three points:
The first is concealment, using his own deception, Lu Xun takes over, making the enemy mistakenly think that he will not appear here;
The second is suddenness, using the common people as a cover, a sudden attack, a surprise, and a capture of the beacon, so that the information cannot be transmitted to the front line, with concealment, so that Guan Yujun can't think of supporting at all;
The third is to attack the heart, after the first two are achieved, Lu Meng can do nothing to the people and the surrendered soldiers after conquering Jingzhou, so that the low-level soldiers of the Guan Yu army on the front line will lose the belief in fighting. β
"Therefore, if you want to sabotage Lu Meng's plan to cross the river in white clothes, you must start from these three points and interfere within a reasonable range."
Speaking of this, Sophie's voice paused for a moment, waiting for Li Gui's further inquiry.
"Do you want to start from these three points to destroy the plan of crossing the river in white...... It does make sense. β
Li Gui pondered for a moment and replied,
"But with this first bit of concealment, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. After all, judging from the information just now, my current identity should be Lu Meng's surprise attack force.
And this surprise attack force is already in the process of crossing the river. Only now did he pass the news to Guan Yu, telling him that Lu Meng was just cheating, and I was afraid it would be too late. β
After a pause, Li Gui thought for a moment, and then replied:
"As for the third point of attack, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. I remember that in the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lu Meng controlled his subordinates very strictly in order to implement this plan.
If I forcibly sabotage in Jingzhou and sabotage the plan to attack the heart by killing people and setting fires, I am afraid that it will not play any role except for being dragged out by Lu Meng as soon as possible and beheaded. β
"So now it seems that the only thing I can do is to break Lu Meng's second point of suddenness."
Thinking of this, Li Gui smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Do you really want me to rush outside the cabin right now and shout at the defenders in Jingzhou, 'We're here for a sneak attack, you guys get on guard'......"
Sophie heard Li Gui's thoughts, was silent for a moment, and replied:
"Master, I don't recommend you to do this, according to my analysis, I'm afraid there is only a 33.01% chance that your behavior will succeed in attracting the attention of the Jingzhou defenders.
Moreover, even if the defenders of Jingzhou were noticed, there was still only a 12.87% chance of preventing LΓΌ Meng's army from crossing the river in white clothes. β
"Is it only possible that low?" When Li Gui heard this, he asked, "Then what should I do?" β
"Master, do you still remember that in the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", 'about the second watch, the elite soldiers in [Zhoubin] [Zhoulu] came out together, tied down the officers and soldiers on the beacon tower, and with a secret signal, more than 80 ships of elite soldiers got up, and captured all the troops who were about to go to the pier into the boat, and never left a single one.' This paragraph? β
Hearing Sophie's accurate restoration of the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Li Gui was stunned at first, and then, after thinking about the passage mentioned by the other party, he immediately had an idea:
"I see! Your suggestion is to let me cooperate with the sneak attack on the beacon, but during the sneak attack, I took the opportunity to get in the way and let the beacon convey the news in time. In this way, Second Brother Guan can receive the news as soon as possible, return to help or flee back to Shu as soon as possible! β
Hearing this, Sophie's voice came again:
"Yes, master, it is better for you to act when you break away from the larger army than if you warned the defenders of the beacon and were immediately stopped by the other soldiers on board.
As long as you can create a little gap to give the beacon soldiers time to light the beacon, then you can make what I call a small but reasonable change to the plot. β
When Li Gui heard this, he was suddenly overjoyed, he didn't expect that Sophie, the incarnation of the system, would provide him with such a useful method.
This made him more curious about Sophie's origins, and he always felt that this system was a little different from the ones he had seen in the novels of Earth in his previous life.
There was no room for him to think about it at the moment, and he silently ended the conversation with Sophie in his heart, and then walked out of the shadowy part of the cabin and sat back down.
However, in the place where he had just had a secret conversation with Sophie, behind him without him noticing, a figure also quietly walked out and disappeared.
