329: Chapter 329 Afraid to See Zhang Liang's Gaze

"That's true!"

Peng Yue frowned and said with difficulty, "If we only build a few, not only will the number of personnel transported be limited... but how will we bring back the seized supplies?"

Both he and the Six-Fingered Black Knight couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Zhang Liang.

"I have already considered the issues you mentioned,"

Zhang Liang said with a smile.

This young man was the Sage of Strategy, whose plans never failed; how could he not have thought of the problems that even the Six-Fingered Black Knight and Peng Yue could foresee?

"We will modify the cargo ships."

"The cargo ships will feature a Mother-and-Son Vessel design."

"Once the mother ship's lower hold is opened, the assault boats can be placed inside."

"When the mother ship is not carrying a son vessel, it is simply a cargo ship that can safely pass through the checkpoints guarded by the Louchuan Soldiers."

"After passing the checkpoint, it will wait on the river."

"After the assault boats sneak past the Louchuan Soldiers' inspection at night, they will be placed in the mother ship's lower hold as son vessels."

"To outsiders, it will look like a civilian cargo ship and won't arouse any suspicion."

"When it's time to pass the next checkpoint, we follow the same procedure: the mother ship passes through normally. At night, under the cover of darkness, the assault boats acting as son vessels sneak past the checkpoint and hide in the mother ship's lower hold once more."

"This, this, this..."

"This works too!"

Upon hearing Zhang Liang's plan, both the Six-Fingered Black Knight and Peng Yue couldn't help but widen their eyes.

No way!

It can even be done like this!

Their eyes were full of shock, stunned by the brilliance of Zhang Liang's plan.

Even if they racked their brains, they would never have thought of such an ingenious method.

It was truly an eye-opening experience for them, as if they were seeing a whole new world.

Simply incredible!

Is he really human?!

How could his mind be so brilliant!

The Six-Fingered Black Knight and Peng Yue couldn't help but glance at each other.

They were all human, so why was Zhang Liang's strategy on such a high level?

Sometimes, they were afraid of Zhang Liang's gaze falling upon them.

They feared that the way Zhang Liang looked at them was the same way they looked at a dog.

"Do you two have any more questions?"

"No, none at all."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight and Peng Yue shook their heads repeatedly.

"Very good, very good."

Zhang Liang smiled.

His right hand gripped a bamboo scroll, which he opened and began to study word by word.

This was the taigongs art of war.

He had obtained this book nearly eleven years ago.

Back then, when Qin Shi Huang was on his eastern tour, he and the Strongman lay in ambush at Bolang Sands, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.

In ancient times, the Son of Heaven used six horses for his carriage while ministers used four, but to be safe, Qin Shi Huang ordered all carriages to use four horses and frequently switched between them to deceive others.

Unable to determine which was the true imperial carriage, Zhang Liang directed the Strongman to smash the most luxurious carriage in the middle with a large boulder.

The occupant was crushed to death, but it was not Qin Shi Huang.

Soldiers swarmed forward, and the Strongman was killed on the spot; Zhang Liang managed to escape by slipping into the reeds amidst the chaos.

Qin Shi Huang was furious and ordered a nationwide manhunt.

Zhang Liang had to hide his identity and flee to Xiapi, waiting for the situation to calm down.

While taking a walk at the head of the Yi Bridge over the Yi River, Zhang Liang encountered an old man wearing a short robe of coarse cloth.

He walked up to Zhang Liang and deliberately let his shoe fall off the bridge.

Then, the old man arrogantly ordered Zhang Liang, "Boy, go down and pick up my shoe for me!"

Zhang Liang was stunned, but he suppressed his dissatisfaction and retrieved it for him against his will.

Afterward, the old man raised his foot and commanded Zhang Liang to put it on for him.

Suppressing his anger, Zhang Liang knelt before him and carefully helped the old man put on the shoe.

Instead of thanking him, the old man laughed heartily and walked away.

Zhang Liang stared blankly for a long time.

After walking a distance, the old man returned to the bridge and praised Zhang Liang, "This youth is worth teaching."

"Meet me at the bridgehead again at dawn five days from now."

Zhang Liang didn't know what he meant, but he respectfully knelt and gave his promise.

Five days later, Zhang Liang obtained the taigongs art of war in his hands.

Since then, he had studied and reflected on it every day; the bamboo scrolls had not left his side for eleven years!
