Chapter 356: Defeat the Wind (2/2)
”Young Master Li's plan indeed isn't bad. However, there are a few lacking areas. It is indeed not a bad idea to place the defensive troops in front. However, what if the wind from the wind valley is too powerful for the defensive troops to block off? I suggest we build a huge 'shield carriage' which the troops will push forward. This will achieve a much better shielding effect!” Another scholar chiped in.
”Good plan!”
”The shield carriage is good, I feel that it is best to build two of these shield carriages to prevent any unexpected changes!”
”Yes, not bad. I think it will work.”
The scholars fought to express their opinions, while the scholar who suggested building the shield carriage carried an arrogant, haughty expression, waiting for Fang Zhengzhi to do as he planned.
When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he didn't agree nor disagree.
Instead, he focused his gaze towards Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu, waiting for them to express their opinions.
Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu naturally saw the gaze which Fang Zhengzhi shot over. They tilted their faces to one side, as if waiting for Fang Zhengzhi to beg them.
Fang Zhengzhi's lips curved into another smile.
He didn't look at Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu again, instead, he rode his horse and slowly trotted towards the direction of the wind valley.
When Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu witnessed this scene, they instantly started to turn anxious.
”Don't tell me this Fang Zhengzhi is really going to make two shield carriages?” Wu Feng looked at Chen Feiyu.
”I think it might be possible!” Chen Feiyu nodded.
”If he did this, we are definitely going to lose this battle.” Wu Feng began to worry. After all, they were ants on the same rope as Fang Zhengzhi.
”We cannot allow him to lose!” Chen Feiyu had also realised this. The expression on his face turned extremely grieved.
He was truly very grieved.
As a person of the Supernatural State, he didn't even have the time to reveal this powers before being taken down by Fang Zhengzhi's ambush. Now, when faced with the wind valley, he prepared to maintain his pride.
Yet in the end…
Fang Zhengzhi actually ignored him.
He had a plan, yet couldn't voice it out. Such grief was indeed uncomfortable. It was just as if he had thought of an extremely good idea, yet, nobody used it. It was indeed worrying!
”Fang Zhengzhi!” Chen Feiyu finally spoke. Anger was clearly evident in his tone. However, other than being angry, it also sounded very helpless.
”Yes?” Fang Zhengzhi hadn't travelled very far. Hence, after hearing Chen Feiyu's shout, he turned his head around and looked at Chen Feiyu with a confused expression.
”I have a strategy for you. However, I have a condition!” Chen Feiyu's words seemed to have been forced out from his gritted teeth.
”Condition? Oh, then, forget it.” Fang Zhengzhi smiled, then turned around and continued to ride towards the wind valley.
”Forget it?!” Chen Feiyu had never thought that his ”goodwill” in taking the initiative to suggest a strategy would be faced with the words ”forget it”.
This was simply even more shameful than being slapped across the face.
Spite!
This was a deep sense of spite, and a utterly unjustifiable form of disregard.
Chen Feiyu was extremely angry. Gazing around at the strange expressions on the surrounding scholars' faces, his expression flushed somewhat red.
”Fang Zhengzhi, building the shield carriage would only decrease the movement speed of the army further. Furthermore, the wind in the wind valley isn't something you can imagine. No shield carriage would be able to block it!” At this moment, Chen Feiyu couldn't be bothered with what those scholars thought anymore, instead, he directly shouted out the flaws of using the shield carriage.
”Oh.” Fang Zhengzhi casually replied.
”Oh? What is the meaning of oh?!” Chen Feiyu really couldn't contain himself anymore.
He had already explained the flaws of the shield carriage, yet, Fang Zhengzhi replied him with an ”oh”. What was the meaning of this? What was the meaning of this!
”Fang Zhengzhi, my request is very simple. I only require that after you cross the wind valley, if you announce that the plan was suggested by me, I will be willing to tell you the method of overcoming the wind valley!” Wu Feng looked at Chen Feiyu's pained expression, smiled lightly, then said to Fang Zhengzhi.
He only knew too well Fang Zhengzhi's shameless personality.
Negotiating terms with a person like Fang Zhengzhi?
This was simply equivalent to placing a blade across Fang Zhengzhi's neck. No matter what, Fang Zhengzhi would never agree. Hence, he used the best possible word to use in this case. Request!
Furthermore, this request was actually an unwarranted request.
Because…
After the army crossed the wind valley, there would definitely be military personnel reporting to their superiors that the plan was suggested by Wu Feng. Hence, in reality, this was only an excuse Wu Feng made for himself.
When Fang Zhengzhi heard Wu Feng's words, he finally stopped again. Then, he turned his horse around and casually rode back slowly.
When Wu Feng saw this, the smile on his face grew wider.
He knew that Fang Zhengzhi would definitely not have a plan to overcome the wind valley. However, Fang Zhengzhi was too shameless, even if he wished to ask, he would still want to do so in an advantageous position.
In his heart, he greatly despised people who were as shameless as Fang Zhengzhi.
However…
He had no other method. He had to help Fang Zhengzhi overcome the wind valley. Furthermore, there was another more important reason behind why he took the initiative to suggest a plan.
That was, he knew very clearly that Chen Feiyu had definitely thought of the same strategy as he did.
If he didn't voice it out, it was equivalent to keeping this strategy in his heart. Hence, when Chen Feiyu's name was announced in the military department, there would be no involvement on his part.
It was very helpless.
However, Wu Feng's emotional state was clearly better than that of Chen Feiyu.
Viewing the problem in another angle, since there was no way to resist this, then, why not just focus on enjoying - Enjoying the feeling of Fang Zhengzhi executing things according to his own plan.
From a certain point of view, it was actually equivalent to overcoming the wind valley himself.
Of course, without that disgraceful ambush in the Thunderous Lion Settlement, Wu Feng felt that his emotional state would be even better.
”Damn this Fang Zhengzhi, damn these Silver Horned Wolves!”
As Wu Feng swore in his heart, Fang Zhengzhi had returned to his original position. However, he didn't look at Wu Feng.
Instead, he turned to Teng Shisheng with a bright smile on his face.
”Teng Shisheng, listen to my orders!” Fang Zhengzhi completely disregarded Wu Feng, and directly spoke to Teng Shisheng.
”Roger!” Teng Shisheng instantly acknowledged.
”Bring twenty Silver Horned Wolves, let's go and defeat the wind valley!”
