 Chapter 561 Seeking a Saint

Chapter 560: Seeking a Saint

"What?"

Li Xiuning immediately exclaimed.

 Everyone in the Han army thought that the enemy reinforcements would arrive in four days, but in fact it was only half a day's journey from Hulao Pass.

Lying about military information also had a big impact on the defenders, but Xiang Yu, no, it should be Zhang Liang, deceived everyone, including his own side, in this way that hurt both himself and the enemy, and made Li Shimin carry out the wrong plan. Estimate.

A flash of fierceness flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. Something he thought was impossible happened, which made him feel out of control. This was the feeling he hated most.

Had Li Shimin known that the Han army would arrive in three days, he would have abandoned all worries and attacked the city with all his strength. He would not have given Xiang Yu such a long time to struggle. Of course, it is not too late now.

Looking at Zhang Liang who was still playing the piano on the tower, Li Shimin showed a sneer on his lips and said lightly: "As expected of the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, I almost fell into your scheme, but in the end you still missed a move."

If he didn't know about the fake news, Li Shimin might still fall into Zhang Liang's "empty city strategy", but since he knew everything, how could he still fall into the trap? The intention to delay is already very obvious.

Li Shimin was a decisive man, and he immediately prepared to order an attack on the city, but at this time a veteran shouted: "My prime minister has invited the Han army general to come forward and answer."

Hearing this, Li Xiuning showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully: "Second brother, this must be Zhang Liang's death struggle, we don't need to pay attention to him."

Li Shimin seemed to be interested, and said, "Now that his purpose has been exposed, if I let Zhang Liang make all kinds of calculations, what can he do to me?"

Li Xiuning was stunned for a moment, and then advised: "Second brother, don't worry about long nights and too many dreams."

“Xiu Ning, don’t you think it’s interesting to hear the prime minister of a country forcefully argue?”

Hearing this, Li Xiuning knew that his second brother had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to remind: "In half a day, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive. Second brother, please pay attention to the time."

 “Don’t worry, the second brother knows what’s going on.”

Li Shimin didn’t believe what tricks Zhang Liang could do under such circumstances, so he came to the pass to meet Zhang Liang across the border.

 But after the meeting, the first words Zhang Liang said were beyond Li Shimin's expectation.

“General Li Shimin, you must have received the news that our reinforcements will arrive at Hulao Pass in half a day, right?”

Hearing Zhang Liang's misty voice not far away, Li Shimin frowned and shouted, "Zhang Liang, what do you want to say?"

"What Liang wants to tell the general is that the troops in the pass are no longer strong enough to hold on, so Liangcai devised an empty city strategy here to delay time. Now as long as the general gives an order, Liang can be captured in the next moment."

 “Ding dong, Zhang Liang’s skill ‘Seeking Saints’ is activated.”

“Seeking saints: Those who seek saints are sure to succeed. This is Zhang Liang’s unique skill.

 Effect 1: If there is mental arithmetic but no mind, it can suppress the opponent's intelligence by 1 to 10 points depending on the opponent's intelligence.

 Effect 2: When the opponent has mental arithmetic but not care, your own intelligence will be increased by 1 to 2 points depending on the opponent's intelligence (note: this effect must have higher intelligence than the opponent to activate).

 Effect 3: When serving as a strategist, the general's command will be increased by 1 to 3 points based on the general's command and intelligence.

Effect 4: After sincerely recognizing the Lord, if the Lord can listen to his advice for a long time, there is a certain chance that the Lord's intelligence will be permanently improved, but the improvement will not exceed his own. "

"Ding dong, Li Shimin's intelligence is 98, and his intelligence has been suppressed by 4 points due to the influence of 'Seeking Saints'. Currently, Li Shimin's intelligence has dropped to 94." - "Ding Dong, Li Xiuning's intelligence is 91, and his intelligence has been suppressed by 6 points due to 'Seeking Saints'. Currently, Li Shimin's intelligence has dropped to 94." Intelligence dropped to 85."

 “Ding dong, Yang Jian is smart…”

 …

Qin Hao, who was resting in the camp, quickly ran out of the camp after receiving the prompt.

“Zhang Liang’s skills were not exposed during the decisive battle in Sizhou, but now they are exposed. Is Zhang Liang also in Hulao Pass? What is happening now?”

 Qin Hao didn’t expect that after just leaving for a while, something big happened in Hulao Pass, forcing Zhang Liang to activate the ‘Sage Seeking’ skill, and the ‘Sage Seeking’ skill with four levels of effects was so luxurious.

 Suppress the opponent, improve himself, improve the general, and permanently improve the intelligence of the lord. This skill can make Zhang Liang so powerful that he has no friends.

 “It’s worthy of being a ‘sage seeker’, it’s simply too awesome and too comprehensive.”

 Qin Hao couldn't help but marvel, and then said to himself with bright eyes: "It can actually permanently improve the lord's intelligence. It seems that I have another reason to conquer Zhang Liang."

 When he saw the postscript of Effect 2, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh: "So that's the case. No wonder the 'Mou Sheng' didn't break out during the decisive battle in Sizhou."

The trapped dragon situation was originally the product of Gui Guzi’s mental arithmetic and unintentional calculations, and Gui Guzi’s basic intelligence was higher than Zhang Liang’s, which prevented him from activating the ‘sage seeking’.

Of course, except for Gui Guzi, no one can make Zhang Liang, who has a basic intelligence of 103, even unable to activate the 'Sage Seeking', right?

Zhang Liang’s voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it very clearly, and countless defenders were filled with despair. They were all shocked into a cold sweat by Zhang Liang.

 It’s over, it’s completely over. The defenders thought with great despair.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with surprise. He came here to see Zhang Liang's joke, but he didn't expect Zhang Liang to confess so straightforwardly? .

 Is there any fraud in this? Li Shimin thought to himself, and then recalled everything again. After thinking deeply, he found that there were too many doubts in it.

 First of all, why did Zhang Liang appear in Hulao Pass?

 Zhang Liang is the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. He is more important than the three Xiang Yus. If Zhang Liang is dragged into the water in order to save a Xiang Yu and a prisoner of war, the entire Ming court will be turbulent.

Secondly, why did Zhang Liang personally implement this 'empty city plan full of loopholes'?

 Zhang Liang is known for his resourcefulness and strategizing, and he strives to be flawless in his plans. He almost never makes dangerous moves, but this time the empty city plan has too many flaws. This is not Zhang Liang's style at all!

 Finally, which piece of information you got is true? Which one is false?

 Or is it all fake?

Or it's all true, but Zhang Liang deliberately let himself see it?

Li Shimin suddenly discovered that there were so many doubts in the originally simple situation.

These doubts were so complicated and difficult to clarify that Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a splitting headache.

Li Shimin, who couldn't figure it out, simply stopped thinking about it. He shook his head and shouted: "Zhang Liang, you are so mysterious. Do you really think that this general will not dare to order an attack on the city?"

 “Liang is waiting to have a chat with the general in the Han camp.”

After saying that, Zhang Liang didn’t say much, and sat on the tower with a calm expression and continued to play.
