Sima Yi returned to Peishui Pass. Under the thirty army's batons, he still staggered a little while walking.
Zhang Chunhua helped him into the tent and then complained: "What on earth is going on? Why do you need to take the blame for Xiahou Dun? It is obvious that you have merit and demerit, so even if you hit him with the military stick, you should hit him."
yes."
Sima Yi murmured, "This military stick hits me, and I feel at ease... Your Majesty feels at ease, and so does the general!"
"I don't understand you." Zhang Chunhua said sadly, "I also...I don't understand your Majesty."
"Haha..." Sima Yi smiled and stood up straight...
Zhang Chunhua exclaimed, "You...are you okay?"
Sima Yi, who was still stumbling just now, is now able to stand here without appearing to be injured at all.
Sima Yi smiled calmly. "If the thirty army sticks are solid, how can we unite the army? How can we fight against Zhuge Kongming... My teacher knows what he is doing. This is just for the generals and those Qiao Pei warriors... Me
...Just cooperate with my mentor and pretend, I’m good at this!”
At this time, Zhang Chunhua felt that her legs were weak...
She took a long breath and said, "True and false, false and true... You have had such a master in your life, and you still don't know how many lies you have to learn to tell and make?"
"Haha..." Sima Yi laughed and said: "The top priority is that Madam goes to pass on my military orders and says that Sima Yi is injured... let the three armies hang up the war exemption card!"
"Originally...the Shu army will not leave Peishui Pass, so why bother to hang up the battle-free card?" Zhang Chunhua asked doubtfully.
"Ha..." Sima Yi was still laughing, "Madam just now told me how many lies I have to tell and make in my life. This time I put up the no-war card. It's just a pretense to make Zhuge Kongming feel at ease when he leaves!"
…
…
Zhuge Liang wonders if Cao Yu's attack on Sima Yi this time is a bitter trick of "one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer"?
But Wei Jun's high-profile exemption from war was true.
Although he was worried that this was also Cao Yu's "treacherous plot", in order to clear the emperor's side, Zhuge Liang weighed it again and decided... to leave the Shu army soldiers in front of Peishui Pass and resolutely return to Chengdu.
Two days later, Zhuge Liang's carriage had arrived in front of the palace gate. Liu Chan personally brought the officials to greet him. Zhuge Liang got out of the car and saluted: "Long live your Majesty..." He coughed twice...
Liu Chan hurriedly supported him and flattered him with a guilty conscience: "My father-in-law is tired from a long journey, so there is no need to be polite. I have held a celebration banquet to welcome my father-in-law!"
Zhuge Liang frowned... "I worked hard and mobilized the troops. Although I won a small victory, I didn't take a step to cultivate the water. I didn't recover the lost land, let alone expand the territory... What achievements can I celebrate?"
As he spoke, he started coughing again...
Liu Chan caressed Zhuge Liang's back with concern.
Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Chan, then at Huang Hao who was clearly feeling guilty behind him, and said seriously, "I have something to say."
A group of people walked into the palace hall...
Several tables of dishes were quickly served in the palace. Under Zhuge Liang's instructions, the other ministers all retired, leaving only Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, and Zhao Yun each taking a seat, while Huang Hao stood behind Liu Chan.
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan with great sadness. Liu Chan felt guilty, "I propose that you raise a glass to celebrate your father-in-law..."
Zhuge Liang remained silent, his expression becoming increasingly sad...
"Xiangfu..." Liu Chan continued to smile and said: "Xiangfu, why don't you... take a look at my homework, I've done all my homework!"
Zhuge Liang finally said, "Is it the girl from the Zhen family who did it for Your Majesty?"
Well…
When this sudden sentence came out, the atmosphere in the entire palace became extremely cold.
Liu Chan didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Huang Hao and asked for help.
Huang Hao hurriedly explained for Liu Chan: "Your Majesty has recognized Sister Zhen, who is also from a well-known family. She has taught your Majesty poetry, calligraphy, chess and painting...I think she was the one the Prime Minister mentioned, right?"
Zhuge Liang asked: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about whether the woman who suddenly appeared next to you was someone who did it deliberately? What is the background of this woman? Is this woman's family involved in Cao Wei? Is this woman sent by Cao Wei to deliberately seduce him?
Where are His Majesty’s spies?”
"Sister Zhen can't be a spy!" Liu Chan had the rare courage to retort.
Zhuge Liang took his time and said, "How do you see that, Your Majesty? In this world, loyalty seems to be traitorous, and hypocrisy seems to be true. After all, I, Zhuge Liang, may not be able to judge people accurately. Your Majesty is still young, how can you dare to be so sure?"
As he spoke, Zhuge Liang handed a bamboo slip from his arms to the guard, and handed it to Liu Chan through the guard's hand.
His voice continued: "I sent someone to investigate. This Zhen Rong is the fourth daughter of the Zhen family. Her eldest sister is the wife of Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, a member of the Bafu of Cao Wei. Her fifth sister is the head of the Wei Dynasty.
Cao Yu was very ambiguous. Such a family had hidden evil intentions. I just ordered the Zhen family to send military supplies and food and grass to test them. Sure enough, they deliberately delayed, and their ambitions were obvious. Zhen Rong saw that the situation was not good, and instigated your majesty to send the officials back to Chengdu.
, it also shows the evil intention of this Zhen family!"
Sharp words and tit-for-tat.
Liu Chan was stunned, but his affection for Sister Zhen still made it impossible for him to associate Sister Zhen with such sharp words as a spy. He looked at Huang Hao, but Huang Hao nodded gently to encourage him.
So, Liu Chan timidly said: "I... I recalled the Prime Minister because I heard that the Prime Minister was seriously ill and coughed up blood repeatedly. Over the years, the Prime Minister has been tired from work and is in poor health. The child... the child cannot bear the hard work of his father. This...
This is also the filial piety taught to me by Sister Zhen, so that my father-in-law can recuperate."
Zhuge Liang was shocked and angry, and stood up suddenly in disbelief. Liu Chan also stood up in fright.
Zhuge Liang stepped forward step by step, with tears in his eyes, and said affectionately: "I have received great kindness from the late emperor and vowed to repay it with death. For five years... I have been thinking about how to fight against Cao Wei and how to fight against Cao Yu in my sleep. I just try my best.
I will be loyal to your majesty, restore the Central Plains, and revitalize the Han Dynasty... I dare to die before you can do it! If I... are thinking about this withered body, why should I fight to the death with Cao Wei? Wouldn't it be wonderful for me to find a place with green mountains and green mountains to rest in my old age?
?”
Liu Chan was so frightened that he leaned against the screen and said solemnly: "Xiangfu, Xiangfu...I...I know I was wrong. Sister Zhen also means well. She just wants me to practice filial piety and let Xiangfu rest. Xiangfu...Sister Zhen is not
Spy, please forgive her and forgive me, right?"
Zhuge Liang bowed and said seriously: "How dare I blame your Majesty? What I'm afraid of is that the foundation of Shu Han will collapse overnight. What I'm afraid of is that Your Majesty is a traitor and a witch."
Liu Chan said in horror: "No, no, no...there are no traitors and no witches."
Zhuge Liang suddenly shouted, "Here comes someone..."
Wei Yan led a group of soldiers and strode inside, his leather boots clicking.
Huang Hao panicked, "Prime Minister Zhuge, what are you going to do? Do you want to force the palace?"
Zhuge Liang looked at Huang Hao and angrily said: "I went on an expedition and entrusted you with your majesty. Instead of correcting your majesty, you instead worshiped women and allowed Cao Wei's spies to roam freely in my Shuhan palace. This is all for your own sake."
After abolishing the great achievements of the Han Dynasty, you...how do you face the late emperor?"
Huang Hao hurriedly defended: "The Prime Minister misunderstood... misunderstood..."
Zhuge Liang ignored him at all and looked at Zhao Yun, "I want to take Huang Hao to prison, torture him severely, and then kill him at a later date. What does General Zilong want?"
Zhao Yun stood up quickly and said, "The Prime Minister is wise. Although Yun is not talented, I am willing to punish this traitor on behalf of the Prime Minister!"
Zhao Yun shouted, "Huang Changshi, I will personally escort you!"
As he spoke, Zhao Yun picked up Huang Hao like a chicken, and walked out of the palace angrily with Huang Hao.
Liu Chan was so scared that he peed...
In the past, Eunuch Huang Hao, who loved him the most, was just... taken away like this.
He...he can't do anything.
Liu Chan stretched out his hand tremblingly, but did not dare to plead with Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang continued, "The harem has its own method of selecting concubines, and the background of the concubines must be repeatedly confirmed... The background of the Zhen family girl is not innocent. Please expel her from Chengdu."
, He will not be allowed to take a single step for the rest of his life!"
Liu Chan hurriedly ran down from his seat. He knelt in front of Zhuge Liang's legs and begged in pain, "My dear father, I... I really know that I was wrong. I beg my dear father to keep her. She... she is just writing and painting with me."
Hua, she...he is not guilty, please ask the prime minister to leave...her to me?"
Zhuge Liang helped Liu Chan up, bursting into tears, "Your Majesty, it's not because of the inhumaneness of my old ministers. Today's great Han Dynasty is in a precarious situation, and its great cause is difficult... The survival of the country depends on your Majesty. The Great Wei Cao Yu is a rare talent that can only be seen in a century. He is skilled in
Attacking the heart and planning, I dare not not check the people around your majesty... Your majesty must not be deceived by villains!"
Speaking...Liu Chan seemed like an aggrieved but helpless child. He...cryed and fainted in Zhuge Liang's arms.
…
…
The bloody setting sun filled the sky and dyed the battlefield in front of Peishui Pass red.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The drums beat like thunder, and countless Wei troops swarmed towards the city wall like a tide, shouting for death and intertwined with screams.
The fighting was particularly fierce.
——"Fight in!"
——"Blood-bathed Peishui Pass!"
——"Kill, kill!"
The eyes of countless Wei soldiers exuded bloodthirsty light, they set up ladders, held up their shields, and frantically attacked this level.
There are countless wells on it...
Today, the surging Wei army covers the sky and the sun!
Sima Yi stood in front of the drum beating platform, looking at the battlefield with bright eyes.
At this moment, he shook his head repeatedly.
It seems that he is a little dissatisfied because of the fierce battle situation...
"Just tell General Huang, General Qu, and General Gongsun, that's about it... you don't have to risk your life to attack the city!"
It is hard to imagine that such a sentence... came from the mouth of Sima Yi, the commander of the Wei army.
Fighting... not to capture Peishui Pass? This...
The ordering soldier hesitated again and again, not knowing how to convey the order.
Sima Yi stroked his beard and said, "Just follow my command and tell them...go quickly..."
Seeing that the messenger was still a little dazed, Sima Yi directly kicked him lightly on the butt.
The whole handsome stage... is like child's play.
On the other hand... Peishui Pass... everyone is resisting.
But because of Zhuge Liang's absence, the dispatch was inevitably stretched... Yang Yi was tired of coping, but a series of military reports kept pouring out like mushrooms after a rain.
"Prime Minister... Prime Minister... when will you come back!" Yang Yi frowned, groaning in pain, almost collapsing.
And as the war situation spreads.
More and more Shu troops discovered that the "Prime Minister Zhuge" who was like a god in their hearts who defeated "Cao Yu" was not at Peishui Pass.
Zhuge Liang left quietly...
In order to prevent his morale from changing, he did not dare to make it public, and only a few core generals knew about it.
But who would have thought that the Wei army, which had been showing off its war-free card yesterday, would suddenly launch a general offensive today.
"Why isn't Prime Minister Zhuge at Peishui Pass?"
"Did Prime Minister Zhuge escape?"
"How could the Prime Minister escape?"
"Then tell me, where is the Prime Minister? Where is the Prime Minister?"
For a time, the entire Shu army was buzzing with discussions about "where is the Prime Minister?", and the originally exciting military morale fell to the bottom at this moment.
After the Wei army's offensive lasted for half a day, they paid their dues and returned.
Although Peishui Pass was defended,...a huge haze has shrouded the dome of Peishui Pass.
Every Shu army's face is full of worries...
They realized that they seemed to be abandoned!
…
…
Zhen Rong left and was expelled from Chengdu forever.
That lovely and considerate Sister Zhen will disappear from Liu Chan's world forever.
Sobbing, I returned to the palace. The drawing board was there, but the person in front of the drawing board had disappeared, and there were messy calligraphy and paintings everywhere.
Liu Chan knelt down and saw a portrait of himself... He still remembered that it was drawn by Sister Zhen for him, just last night... Sister Zhen was busy until late at night, and finally she could no longer lift her arms.
At this moment... a huge sense of powerlessness and sadness swept over him. Liu Chan sat down on the ground, stroked the portrait and cried loudly: "Why? I...I gave him everything, he...why didn't he even give it to Sister Zhen?"
I'm staying! I don't want the Han Dynasty, I don't want my father, I...I just want Sister Zhen, I...I just want to live a comfortable life for a few days, can't I?"
Gan's father didn't know when he had arrived here.
When he saw Liu Chan crying, he advised with choked sobs: "Your Majesty, please keep your voice down, your father-in-law..."
Liu Chan, who collapsed, shouted desperately, "What kind of father-in-law? He wants to be the emperor of Shu Han, I will give it to him, I don't want to do it, I don't want to do it for a day. No one has ever asked me
What do you want? Why do I have such a father and a good husband? I must be allowed to do what they ask me to do. I...I can’t do it!"
Because of the loss of Zhen Rong, Liu Chan's crying became more and more sad...
"Woooo..."
Tears are like broken beads.
call…
But it was Gan's father. He took a long breath, and Liu Chan's current appearance made him realize...the plan was successful, and the opportunity he had been looking for so hard had appeared.
"Adou, do you really want your sister Zhen back?" Gan's father said softly.
Liu Chan nodded repeatedly, "I only want her. Apart from her, I don't want anything else..."
Gan's father asked again: "Even if you are the emperor, why don't you give it up?"
This time, he lowered his voice.
Liu Chan, however, expressed his emotion towards the throne as "throwing it away like dregs"... "Ah Weng, please go and beg your father-in-law for me. I will give him the throne. I will give it to him. I will also follow the example of the emperor of the Han family. He
I accepted the throne after three resignations and three concessions. I also resigned three times and let the Prime Minister give three concessions. I only want Sister Zhen to come back!"
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!" Father Gan quickly covered Liu Chan's mouth and said seriously: "Your Majesty, actually... Aweng has always wanted to say something to you!"
