"Up the city of Shanggu in the west."
Zhu Geliang's face remained cold, watching the campsite that had been burned down to a quarter of its original size. He spoke in a deep voice and asked, "Is this just by coincidence? Especially when the enemy managed to slip through our defenses despite the fact that I came here today and didn't manage to catch them off-guard during the night?"
Liao Hua kept his head down and said nothing, while Wu Yi, feeling rather embarrassed, explained, "Reporting to the General, last night the Wei army sent men to launch surprise night attacks and set fires in both the east and west of the city. We managed to repel them in the east, but due to the wind direction last night, we suffered some loss of tents in the west. However, there were minimal casualties among our soldiers."
Zhu Geliang spoke with no emotion, saying, "The Wei army is trying to steal your morale!"
"Now that I am personally here, and I have also brought you reinforcements. Today is the 19th day, General Wu. How many more days do you have until you can capture Shanggu?"
Zhu Geliang's expression became stern, and Wu Yi's heart began to race. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Please give me ten days, General, and I assure you that I will definitely capture Shanggu within that time!"
"Ten days?" Zhu Geliang looked at Wu Yi and said, "That's too long. I'll give you only five days!"
Having said this, Zhuge Liang started issuing orders on the open ground: "Spread my command and have Zeng Yi from Ji county lead his 5,000 troops to attack Xianqin and Chengji counties. Now that Anzhi is empty, go around Chengji and attack Anzhi!"
"Where are Liao Hua and Zong Yu?"
"Liao Hua and Zong Yu, the two generals, bowed and stepped forward."
Zhu Geliang's face remained expressionless as he assigned tasks, "General Liao, your camp was burned last night. You should feel shame and work harder to capture the city!"
"General Zong, lead your troops to set out in the afternoon and march with me to attack Linwei!"
Both Liao Hua and Zong Yu nodded in agreement, while Wu Yi was sweating profusely at that moment.
There was no other reason; it was simply because the city of Shanggu had been besieged for a long time, and the city of Linwei had been withdrawn again without an attack. Now that Zhuge Liang is leading the troops to attack, although not explicitly stated, Wu Yi is still feeling a bit of shame at this moment.
