Zhu Shouen came back at the camp of the Yangcheng City and looked at Zhuge Yu and sneered: "It has been more than half a month in a row, but Li Mu has not appeared again. It seems that Zhuge Dutong miscalculated this time."

Zhuge Yu was not annoyed, looked at the map in front of him and shook his head and sighed: "I have deceived Li Mu, but I have not deceived Jiang Cheng in the end. It seems that if I want to beat him, I can only attack from the front."

"It doesn't matter, spring will come next month, and the time you mentioned will come, but there is one thing you need to be careful." Chen Li shook his head and said.

"What's the matter?" Zhuge Yu asked.

"Yesterday I was wandering outside the Jialing Pass and found that Jiang Cheng ordered people to dig ice and build a dam upstream. Do you think it was because he wanted to accumulate water and attack, just like when a man used the Kunjiang River to defeat the Xia Dynasty." Chen Li asked.

"Storing water to build a dam?" Zhuge Yu glanced at the map, frowned slightly, but soon smiled, shook his head and said, "It's a water attack, but it was discovered so easily. Obviously, Jiang Cheng did not intend to hide it."

"If you want to attack water, how can you not hide it?" Zhu Shouen frowned.

"Because of such a large project, he could not hide it, and his true intention was not to use water attack to deal with our army." Zhuge Yu sighed and said, "He built a dam upstream to store water, but in fact he wanted to force our army to withdraw from the Shuyang City and limit the direction of our army's attack."

Zhu Shouen narrowed his eyes and said, "If he built a dam to store water, if he didn't hide it, our army would have to move the barracks away from the river bank. And the direction of the attack was only one attack from the south. In this way, the time you were determined to occupy would be useless!"

"Not bad!" Zhuge Yu sighed, nodded and smiled: "It seems that Lord Zhu has learned a lot in this army these days."

"Hmph!" Zhu Shouen snorted, and his expression also became gloomy: "What should I do now?"

"Since he is not going to give me the time, it will be useless to wait any longer. I will order the three armies to move to the camp at the foot of Tairi Mountain tomorrow to fight against the hostilities!" Zhuge Yu sighed, and Jiang Cheng finally seized the opportunity!

"It should have been like this long ago!" Zhu Shouen sneered. Since the end result was this, it would be better to lead the army to suppress it early in the morning. He would not have been provoked by Li Mu during this period and was defeated in shame.

Zhuge Yu didn't say anything. On the battlefield, it was important to take the lead. He didn't want Jiang Cheng to take the lead first, but it was not so easy to dispatch a 500,000 army. Jiang Cheng was passively defending and waiting for the effort. It was naturally easier than him to take the lead. It was just for this reason. Zhuge Yu didn't want to explain more to Zhu Shouen.

After all, because he failed to successfully trap Li Mu, he lost a lot of troops because of the previous bait, which made Zhuge Yu lose a lot of prestige in the army. Now he would say the reason at this moment, in the eyes of others, it was just an excuse.

"Go and prepare." Chen Li sighed and asked everyone to leave to prepare. The next morning, the army set out on the camp and headed southwest.

Jiang Cheng naturally got news.

"The governor, as you expected, the Kang Chao army went south and now he was at Tairi Mountain to camp! It was less than a hundred miles away from our army!" Tengfang stepped heavily on Zou Jinshen's tent and said to Jiang Cheng admiringly.

"It seems that there have been some problems within Kang Chaojun due to Li Mu's affairs." Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and smiled.

"How can I see it?"

"It's not the best opportunity to move camp now." Jiang Cheng knocked on the table and said with a smile.

"Then should we send troops while the camp is not stable?" Tengfang smiled.

"The possibility of success is not high." Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled: "And the enemy is large and we are few. You can take advantage of the geographical advantage here. If you attack the enemy camp, the opponent will still have a chance to breathe, but if our army is defeated, the gap will be even greater."

He tried his best to gain the advantage of the territory and spent more effort to build a dam to store water, in order to resolve the dilemma of insufficient manpower. Judging from the opponent's troops, the opponent could not be a fool like Zhu Shouen who was ignorant of soldiers, and it was impossible not to be unprepared for this. Now that the battle has officially started, Jiang Cheng has more things to calculate. He cannot fight a battle that he is not sure of, even if the casualties are equal, he will be considered to be his loss.

"The last one understands." Fujifang sighed.

In the next period of time, the two armies confronted each other, but the offensive and defense changed positions. Zhuge Yu began to send troops to provoke every day, but Jiang Cheng closed the camp and could not leave. If Zhuge Yu chose to attack with force, Jiang Cheng would rely on the camp, crossbows and bows and arrows to move forward together, so that Zhuge Yu would not be able to advance.

Shuangjian fought again and again between this Lingguan and Tairishan, mostly because Zhuge Yu was attacking, but Jiang Cheng would occasionally take advantage of his unpreparedness and send troops to gain some benefits. Both sides also had their own victories and losses, but the situation was in a stalemate.

"Master, now our army seems to have started a war of attrition. We can't afford to fight this war of attrition now!" On this day, another fight passed, Zhao Zihao took Li Mu into the guard tent, looked at Jiang Cheng and smiled bitterly.

If the commander level is similar in this kind of war, if the commander level is similar, then the final battle will be consumed. Although the Dakun Dynasty has newly swallowed the Dakun Dynasty, the whole country is now busy with jokes about the fruits of victory, and there is no time for him to be the one who is the general. Wen Lingzhao commands the six palaces to support Jiang Cheng, but he has to manage people's livelihood and raise logistics for Jiang Cheng, and it is difficult to fight against the Dakang Dynasty. This war of attrition is the least willing to see by the generals. Even if they win, they will win miserably.

"This war is like playing chess." Jiang Cheng fiddled with the chessboard in front of him and said without raising his head: "When chess meets an opponent, the mentality is the way to compete. Whoever is confused first will be short of losing."

"But if this continues, we will not have many chess pieces." Zhao Zihao said with a wry smile. Wen Lingzhao had already heard news. He had thought of all the ways that could be thought of in the six palaces. However, although these six palaces were rich, after all, if they were drawn too hard, it would easily lead to a situation of great losses to the people. On the side of the royal court, now various forces are fighting openly and secretly for new interests. It is good not to cause trouble here. If you want to help there, it is even more nonsense.

"If you can't find a new piece, you can only find a way to limit the other party's piece." Jiang Cheng chased a black piece from the chess cup and fell on the board, and said with a smile.

"You mean... robbing grain?" Li Mu asked.

"Then you can find someone's granary." Zhao Zihao said angrily.

This granary is generally protected by heavy troops, but also with formations. After all, this is not considered attacking the enemy, but only protecting food and grass. Therefore, in general, the granary is protected by formations. In order to prevent Jiang Cheng from breaking the formation, Zhuge Yu deliberately built more than a dozen formations to disrupt his vision. Jiang Cheng could not figure out which granary was the real granary without getting close.
