Chapter 136: Unrivaled Wisdom (Part )

Faced with this sudden attack, Zhuge Liang remained calm, as if he was not at all surprised by the arrival of the intruders.

In fact, these two heroes, who held high positions in both Wu and Shu, had been playing chess against each other for sixteen days. Although they had won and lost alternately, Zhuge Liang knew very well in his heart that the war between Wu and Shu would end today!

So Zhuge Liang looked at the visitor indifferently.

Looking at his former classmate who was also a student of Jixia Academy—the iron-blooded governor Zhou Yu!

As the powerful commander-in-chief of the Wu State, Zhou Yu tried his best to maintain his demeanor and momentum, but when he looked at the silent Zhuge Liang, he couldn't help revealing a hint of disgust in his expression.

Zhou Yu did not like Zhuge Liang, and could even be said to hate him. This was not only because when he was at the Jixia Academy, his performance in all academics was always slightly inferior to Zhuge Liang's, but also because of Zhuge Liang's eyes.

No matter what happened, even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, Zhuge Liang's eyes were always so indifferent and calm, as if he had already seen through all the truths of the world.

Zhou Yu could not tolerate such a look. At least he thought that Zhuge Liang was arrogant and contemptuous, and did not take his wisdom and status as the Grand Commander of Wu seriously at all!
Zhou Yu wanted to defeat Zhuge Liang eagerly and urgently.

This was not only to prove to all the heroes in the King's Continent that Zhou Yu was no worse than Zhuge Liang, and was even more worthy of the title of "unparalleled wisdom" than Zhuge Liang, but also because as time went by, Zhou Yu had already found that he didn't have much time left.
"You look anxious."

Just when Zhou Yu was secretly feeling anxious about something that might happen, Zhuge Liang on the opposite side suddenly spoke first.

"Hehe, shouldn't you be the one who is anxious?" Zhou Yu was stunned, then smiled calmly.

"Kong Ming, your biggest problem is that you overestimate yourself. Even if you are known as the greatest genius in the history of our Jixia, you are too busy to do anything. Facing such a bad situation, you are also powerless! Apart from the various lines of troops, just in terms of the number of heroes, our Wu Kingdom is definitely capable of crushing your Shu Kingdom! Or, do you want to deal with the four of us with the power of one person? Ha, I don't think you are so naive, right? Old classmate, let me tell you a word, pride and prejudice have always dug their own graves, don't be too self-righteous!"

Zhou Yuyi kept talking, looking like a winner.

Zhuge Liang listened calmly but remained silent. However, looking at Zhou Yu's indifferent eyes, a hint of pity appeared inadvertently.

That is a kind of benevolent compassion for the weak with narrow minds.

"Tsk!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth. "You know what? From the beginning, I don't like your self-righteous attitude. Stop pretending to be deep, okay? Do you think I don't know what you are up to?!"

Zhuge Liang still didn't speak.

Zhou Yu sneered, "I know you have been stalling for time. From the beginning of the war till now, you have been waiting for news, right? Have you secretly sent people to Wei to ask for help?"

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly.

"Ha, yes, I had anticipated this." Seeing Zhuge Liang finally moved, Zhou Yu began to get excited: "I have to say, you are indeed worthy of being the recognized genius of our Jixia. You actually anticipated that our Wu Kingdom would take advantage of Shu's emptiness to invade. In fact, you had planned it long ago, right? Dealing with us in the canyon battlefield, delaying time, and then waiting for Wei to attack our Wu Kingdom, forcing us to retreat? That's right, right? Unfortunately, the opponent you met is me, the iron-blooded governor of Wu!"

Zhou Yu's expression turned gloomy. "The world only knows that you, Zhuge Liang, are a genius. Even the Master praised you highly. But the world does not know that I, Zhou Yu, am ten or even a hundred times wiser than you! The people you sent to Wei for help were killed by me along the way. You don't need to delay any longer. Wei will not take advantage of the situation to attack our Wu. And the crystal base of your Shu will surely be destroyed today!"

After Zhou Yu finished speaking sternly, he suddenly raised his right hand. With a crackling sound, a blazing fire suddenly rose from the palm of his right hand. The invisible high temperature burned everything around, causing the grass under Zhou Yu's feet to wither and burn, and the air was invisibly distorted.

"You look anxious."

At this moment, Zhuge Liang spoke again, but he still said the same sentence, and his eyes were still indifferent.

"At this point, do you still think you have a chance of winning?!" Zhou Yu asked coldly, his words coming out stiffly from between his teeth.

Zhou Yu began to feel a little uneasy, because essentially, there was a reason why Zhuge Liang could remain so calm at this critical juncture.

As both of them were top planners, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang knew each other well. The reason for the Wu-Shu war was simply because Liu Bei and Guan Yu could no longer go to the canyon battlefield, and Luna, the Moonlight Lady, who served as an external aid, had to go to Jixia for upgrade matters. The only heroes left in the entire Shu Kingdom who could fight were Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei, so Zhou Yu dared to take advantage of the situation and attack Shu.

This is a fact and there is no need for Zhuge Liang to say more. This is also what Zhou Yu is worried about. Because the longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Wu State. That is why Zhou Yu urgently strengthened the attacks along three routes!
"It doesn't matter. I will seize the high ground of your Shu Kingdom before your heroes come back!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, his face slowly becoming a little ugly. "No, in fact, this is not what you should be afraid of." Zhuge Liang shook his head gently: "All along, your Wu Kingdom's enemies are not just our Shu Kingdom and Wei Kingdom."

"?!" Zhou Yu was confused. What on earth did Zhuge Liang mean? !

Seeing Zhou Yu's bewildered expression, Zhuge Liang asked indifferently, "Is there an island called Fusang across the sea to the southeast of your Wu Kingdom? I heard there is a swordsman there."

For the first time, Zhou Yu showed a panic expression and stared at Zhuge Liang in a daze.

Zhuge Liang continued, "According to my investigation, the Japanese pirates on Fusang Island have been coveting the land and resources of your Wu Kingdom for many years. What would they do if they knew that there is no hero in Wu Kingdom at this time?"

"Zhuge Kongming, could it be you?!" Zhou Yu felt a surge of blood rushing up in his chest, almost reaching his throat.

"I told you that you should not be afraid of us, let alone Wei." Zhuge Liang calmly waved the fan in his hand and said meaningfully, "When I sent people to Wei, I wanted to be on the safe side to prevent Wei from sitting on the sidelines and reaping the benefits. I also considered that you might predict my plan and then kill my messenger, so I sent some other people to Fuso. If nothing unexpected happens, the four people on Fuso Island may already be on their way to attack your Wu State."

Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang in shock, his heart was in turmoil and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

why?
Zhou Yu couldn’t understand, no, it should be said that he couldn’t believe it!
Zhuge Liang not only anticipated that he would take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Shu, and incited Wei to prepare for a counterattack, but also incited Wu's overseas enemies! In order to prevent this situation from happening, in other words, Zhuge Liang had already thought of the hidden danger that the messenger sent to Wei might be intercepted and killed by him!

Under normal circumstances, these plans might not be surprising, but you have to know that all these plans were arranged in advance without any warning, long before the Wu Kingdom invaded the Shu Kingdom!

How far can this man see? Does he have the ability to predict the future?

For the first time in his life, Zhou Yu felt so frustrated and fearful.

He thought he knew Zhuge Liang well, especially after he exposed Zhuge Liang's plan to incite Wei to counterattack. He was even more confident and thought he would win this time. He could defeat Zhuge Liang on the canyon battlefield and prove himself to all the heroes of the continent. However, he didn't expect that he was still one step behind.
Whether it was when he was in the Jixia Academy or now, facing Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu would always be second.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu became so angry that a trace of blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth.

"It's not too late to go back now. Besides, the opponent you really want to defeat is not me, but your own heart." Looking at Zhou Yu with a painful expression, a trace of pity flashed in Zhuge Liang's strange blue eyes.

"Do not!!"

The roar of anger and unwillingness interrupted Zhuge Liang's next words, and a hint of madness slowly appeared on Zhou Yu's ferocious face.

"Zhuge Liang, now that things have come to this, let's make a bet today! Let's see whether those Japanese pirates from Fusang will conquer our Wu Kingdom first, or our Wu Kingdom will destroy your Shu Kingdom first!"

Zhou Yu was unwilling to give in.

He was unwilling to accept that Zhuge Liang would always be ahead of him, and even more unwilling to miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the Kingdom of Shu, but ended up with nothing!
Zhou Yu wanted to gamble.

He staked everything on the fact that he could either destroy Shu in advance and quickly return to Wu to resist the Japanese pirates from Fusang, or Wu would be destroyed and he would die without a burial place! !
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "In fact, you no longer have a chance to gamble with me. If you had fought harder earlier, you might have had a chance. But you thought you had a sure win, but because you were too conceited, you wasted the only chance to destroy Shu. In the final analysis, it is you who is arrogant and prejudiced, not me."

Zhou Yu glared at Zhuge Liang fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him alive: "Do you think you can decide this war by yourself?! What qualifications do you have to make such a conclusion?!"

"Because my people have arrived." Zhuge Liang said calmly.

Just as he finished speaking, a pure white figure suddenly jumped up from the bushes in the middle of the river. In the blink of an eye, the sharp silver-white blade, like a ray of moonlight blooming in the endless darkness, slashed towards Zhou Yu.

"The blood-red moonlight reflects my life, and the time of your death!"
