"Damn it, he really thinks he's some kind of old turtle!"
Cao Luoshen spat in annoyance; he knew this very well.
Li Tianguo looked at the other side of the sand table with great interest: "Now we'll see how Qin Shengjie responds."
No sooner had the words been spoken than the Shu Kingdom assembled a large army and launched an attack.
This reaction was exactly as expected.
The fundamental difference in national strength between the two sides was too great. If the stalemate continued, it would be tantamount to slow suicide for the weak Shu Kingdom, and its demise would be inevitable.
The only way for the Shu Kingdom to win is through war.
The optimal solution would be to lure the enemy deep into your territory, making them travel a long distance like Cao Luoshen did before, and then take advantage of their home ground to achieve a great victory, thus pressing their advantage and ending the game in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, Sima Bozhong didn't understand.
Although Cao Luoshen gave them a chance, her own strength was too great, so they could only end up losing to each other.
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening.
"Qin Shengjie has had a tough time. He was initially suppressed by Cao Luoshen, and now that he can finally catch his breath, he runs into an old turtle."
"Tsk tsk, it's definitely hellish difficulty!"
Ultimately, behind every character track lies an enormous reward, attracting countless outstanding individuals to compete. To end a track, one must surpass them, which is no easy feat.
Especially in such popular tracks, any track finisher is the strongest of the strong; otherwise, how could they gain the favor of so many top families?
At this time on the field.
Faced with Sima Bozhong's high-pressure defense, Lin Yi took the initiative to launch a northern expedition. His forces were at a huge disadvantage, and he was also fighting a hard-fought battle away from home. The objective conditions were overwhelmingly unfavorable.
However, the result was quite surprising.
Sima Bozhong was defeated at the first encounter and was forced to adopt a scorched-earth policy, suffering repeated defeats.
Ultimately, they managed to hold out only because the enemy's logistics were inadequate and their food supplies could not keep up, forcing them to retreat.
Everyone stared in disbelief: "Is it really that ugly?"
Having gotten used to the battles between Lin Yi and Cao Luoshen, I thought that all duels between masters were like this, and that such high-quality exchanges were expected.
Looking at it now, it's clear they were overthinking things.
Sima Bozhong was able to survive Cao Luoshen's death and quickly take over the court, which makes him a truly strongman.
Now, when compared to Lin Yi's portrayal of Zhuge Liang, the difference in skill is immediately apparent.
Before everyone could react, seeing that Lin Yi's supplies had run out, Sima Bozhong saw an opportunity and finally couldn't hold back any longer, launching his first offensive.
Then they were ambushed, suffering over 30,000 casualties, and were forced to retreat in disarray.
"..."
After a long while, the entire audience burst into laughter.
She finally managed to be outgoing once, but ended up being withdrawn for life.
Cao Luoshen was overjoyed: "That's exactly how you should beat him, let him know just how much you're worth!"
Li Tianguo laughed and said, "Sima Bozhong will probably be traumatized."
This is true.
Sima Bozhong no longer harbored any illusions and from then on implemented a high-pressure defensive strategy, never making any rash moves again.
No matter how Lin Yi tried to launch an attack, his response was always the same: scorched earth, strict defense, and the army would never leave the city.
Simply put, it means implementing the tortoise strategy to the very end.
No matter how the enemy challenged him, even by humiliating him with women's clothing, Sima Bozhong steadfastly defended the city.
Because of this strategy, the Shu Kingdom's several northern expeditions all ended in failure.
There's no way around it; logistics is always the biggest weakness.
Given its national strength, Shu Kingdom truly could not withstand such a protracted war of attrition. Sima Bozhong's old tortoise strategy, though unsightly on the surface, had indeed struck at Shu Kingdom's Achilles' heel.
Sima Bozhong chuckled coldly: "What does it matter if it looks bad as long as we can win? Losing the fruit for the sake of saving face is truly the height of stupidity!"
He wasn't the only one who thought this way; the entire Sima family of Tianjun had always maintained this family tradition.
Among the many powerful families in Tianjun, if you ask which family is the most powerful, a bunch of people can give you a bunch of answers. But if you ask which family is the most shameless, everyone will give the same answer.
Sima family.
That being said, given the Sima family's unremarkable background, it was precisely through this shameless and pragmatic approach that they were able to gain a foothold among second-rate aristocratic families.
Otherwise, even a third-rate family might not have a place in the Sima family.
The atmosphere in the lobby outside the venue grew increasingly somber.
"Damn, could he really have won by such a sneaky trick?"
"When the old tortoise can finish the race, I'll become an old tortoise too."
“Ordinary old tortoises won’t do; you have to have his skill level. This is an unorthodox method. If you’re not from the Sima family, don’t try to learn this.”
Listening to the crowd's discussion, Cao Luoshen remained silent with a dark expression.
Li Tianguo sighed, "What a pity for Qin Shengjie."
This statement resonated with many people.
Human nature admires the strong.
Normally, if an ordinary person were to face off against a second-generation member of a powerful family, even if the vast majority of them were ordinary people, they would still side with the second-generation member of the powerful family.
But compared to Sima Bozhong, Qin Shengjie is undoubtedly more popular.
Not only because he had just ended the Emperor track, but also because the Zhuge Liang he designed was so deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Everyone hopes that Zhuge Liang will win in the end!
Unfortunately, circumstances are beyond our control.
"Going against the will of Heaven is easier said than done."
Li Tianguo sighed.
Cao Luoshen, standing to the side, sneered: "Does Sima Bozhong really think he can win like this? A fool who is trapped in a dead end without realizing it."
Everyone was stunned.
Even if they disliked Sima Bozhong, they had to admit that as long as he stuck to the tortoise strategy, the chance of losing this game was almost zero.
Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Cao Luoshen scoffed and didn't bother to explain.
Li Tianguo quickly realized: "That's right. In the last Emperor Track match, Liu Zhenbang appeared to win, but Qin Shengjie ended the race!"
It was only then that everyone belatedly realized what was happening.
The idea that whoever wins the game will end the race has been ingrained for a long time.
However, judging from the results of the last Emperor Track, this is clearly not entirely the case.
It's not impossible to win the game but lose the track.
Cao Luoshen glanced at the leaderboard of the Powerful Minister track: "Eternal Glory? That guy won in such an ugly way, is he illustrious for eternity or infamous for ten thousand years?"
Everyone looked at each other with strange expressions.
According to this theory, Sima Bozhong's hard work and fuss might very well turn into a complete joke in the end.
Winning the game in the ugliest way, but losing the track in the end.
It's just heartbreaking.
Everyone immediately became excited. For these onlookers, it didn't really matter who would finish the race; the main thing was to have fun.
The happiest thing right now is watching Sima Bozhong suffer misfortune.
