Chapter 503: The camp is buzzing and the whole city is shocked
Nearly two months have passed since Deng Ai led his army to leave Jiange.
Just some time ago, Zhuge Liang had just sent another 20,000 Han troops to the mountain road to Dingjun Mountain.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Zhuge Liang's behavior of transporting soldiers, horses, food and fodder to Liangzhou was very determined.
But in fact, in Zhuge Liang's mind, he could not guarantee what consequences today's actions would have.
Did Mi Yang turn defeat into victory with the help of these tens of thousands of reinforcements, or was the Han army traced by the Wei army and intercepted on Dingjun Mountain, and finally defeated due to lack of water and food?
Similar worries arose in Zhuge Liang's mind during the Battle of Hanzhong.
The road ahead is uncertain, just like the situation of the big man now. Some things have to be done, but some worries will inevitably arise in the heart.
Thinking of this and looking up at the dark night sky without any light, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh deeply.
There are rumors in the world that he can predict the future through celestial phenomena, but these are just rumors after all.
If he really had this ability, why would he have to wait at the Jiange Pass every day to wait for news?
After Zhuge Liang sighed, Yang Yi came behind Zhuge Liang holding a fur coat. After putting the fur coat on Zhuge Liang's shoulders, Yang Yi advised:
"Prime Minister, it's late and cold at night, please go back and rest early."
With the arrival of the rainy season, the weather in Hanzhong gradually became colder at night, and Yang Yi was very worried about Zhuge Liang's health.
After saying this sentence, Yang Yi seemed to feel that this sentence was not enough to persuade Zhuge Liang, so he added another sentence:
"According to time calculation, even if everything goes well, General Deng Zhonglang should have arrived at Dingjun Mountain not long ago.
How could the news from the frontline come back so quickly?"
After hearing Yang Yi's words, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.
Yes, no matter how much Zi Sheng used his troops like a god, how could he turn things around in just half a month?
Similarly, in such a short period of half a month, even if the Wei army discovered traces of reinforcements, they could not defeat them.
But how could Zhuge Liang not know this with his wisdom?
It’s not that I don’t know, it’s just that I can’t help it because I am worried about the fate of the country.
However, there are still many military matters in the camp that need to be handled by him, so it is not good to waste time outside the camp all the time.
With this in mind, Zhuge Liang walked toward the camp under Yang Yi's lantern.
But before he had gone far, Zhuge Liang heard bursts of hasty footsteps coming from the dark road ahead.
Although he was outside the camp, there were Han troops guarding him all around, so Zhuge Liang would not think that the unseen people in front of him were enemies.
But the rapid footsteps still made Zhuge Liang frown.
Could it be that Cao Hong saw through his dubious tactics and launched a surprise attack at night?
Zhuge Liang's guess was quickly interrupted by a loud call.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister!"
The call sounded very urgent, as if something terrible had happened.
This call came from the dark road ahead. When the call reached Zhuge Liang's ears, a few faint lights also appeared in front of Zhuge Liang.
Under the flickering light, Zhuge Liang could vaguely see who was calling him.
Ma Su!
Although Zhuge Liang saw clearly that Ma Su was not a talented leader, he did not want his planning skills to go to waste, so he made Ma Su the Sima in charge of intelligence collection in his account.
While seeing Ma Su's figure clearly, Zhuge Liang's keen eyes also saw a document that Ma Su was waving in his hand.
After seeing the document, Zhuge Liang immediately knew that it was probably a military report from the front line.
Although he didn't know why it happened so quickly, Zhuge Liang couldn't care less at this moment. He strode forward directly to Ma Su, and then asked him anxiously:
"The battle report from Liangzhou has arrived?
Will our army win or lose?"
Zhuge Liang's urgent tone echoed under the silent night sky.
Facing Zhuge Liang's inquiry, Ma Di only answered the first question: "The battle report from Liangzhou has been delivered."
As for Zhuge Liang's second question, he bowed and presented the battle report in his hand to Zhuge Liang as his answer.
It turned out that after receiving the battle report written by Lu Yi himself, Ma Di immediately came to look for Zhuge Liang and had not read the contents of the battle report.
Looking at the military report that Ma Su handed over with both hands, Zhuge Liang's breathing became rapid.
After taking a deep breath, Zhuge Liang took the battle report in Ma Su's hand, and then opened it and read it with the faint light around him.
When Zhuge Liang was watching the battle report, Ma Su and Yang Yi watched Zhuge Liang intently with bated breath.
The content of this battle report is crucial to the future destiny of the country.
In the eyes of Yang Yi and Ma Su, they could see that as Zhuge Liang's eyes moved, the expression on his face also changed drastically.
When they saw Zhuge Liang's unbelievable look, Yang Yi and Ma Su felt as if their hearts were being grabbed by a pair of big hands, and their breathing became unsmooth.
Zhuge Liang's expression of disbelief lasted for a long time. During this long process, Yang Yi and Ma Su seemed to be suffering the cruelest punishment in the world, with beads of cold sweat constantly breaking out on their heads.
But Zhuge Liang's next reaction saved Yang Yi and Ma Su from this painful torture.
After reading the battle process in the battle report and the final estimate of the huge battle results, Zhuge Liang held the battle report tightly in his hand, then raised his head and laughed.
The wanton laughter instantly resounded throughout the world where Zhuge Liang was.
"General, you are so magnificent!
The big man is so strong!"
Zhuge Liang's sudden laughter surprised Yang Yi and Ma Su, but combined with Zhuge Liang's two sentences, how could Yang Yi and Ma Su not know that the battle report they received was a victory report?
After realizing this, both Ma Su and Yang Yi showed extremely excited expressions on their faces.
After Zhuge Liang handed them the battle report for viewing, the expressions on Yang Yi and Ma Su's faces became extremely exciting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They thought that Mi Yang might have won a victory, but how could this be described as "a victory"?
The Han River was diverted into the enemy's camp, and a hundred thousand enemy troops were turned into fish and shrimps. What an unimaginable victory was this?
What a coveted and exciting victory?
Yang Yi and Ma Su were so excited that they were almost speechless.
It's really Mi Yang's operation that is so amazing.
After a long while, Yang Yi said blankly:
"When the sky is full of anger, the mighty spirit is angry, and it kills them all and abandons the wilderness.
General, is he really a god?"
If he wasn't a god, how could he do something like annihilate the entire enemy army overnight?
Yang Yi's dullness seemed to have infected Ma Su. Ma Su, who was usually sharp-tongued, found it difficult to express any opinions at this moment.
After Zhuge Liang heard Yang Yi's sincere praise of Mi Yang, he smiled and said:
"He is not a god, he is my beloved disciple."
Zhuge Liang's words seemed to dispel Yang Yi's confusion, and also seemed to declare his sovereignty.
But no matter what, the strong sense of pride and joy in Zhuge Liang's words could not be concealed.
After a while, Zhuge Liang told Ma Di: "Tomorrow morning, let the news of the victory be passed on to the three armies."
Although Ma Su was stunned, he still heard Zhuge Liang's order.
He understood the profound meaning of Zhuge Liang's move, so after bowing to Zhuge Liang, he turned and left.
After Ma Su left, Zhuge Liang saw that Yang Yi had not yet woken up from the huge surprise, so he personally took the lantern from Yang Yi's hand.
Zhuge Liang personally picked up the lamp and walked slowly, while Yang Yi followed closely behind him. But before Zhuge Liang took a few steps, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be more light between heaven and earth.
Zhuge Liang noticed the difference and raised his lantern high to shine into the dark sky.
With the help of the light in front of him, Zhuge Liang discovered that there were several more stars in the sky.
And as time goes by, perhaps the dark clouds gradually disperse, and more and more stars are blocked.
By the end, the entire sky was filled with stars.
Even the full moon, which had been hidden all this time, appeared in the sky and spread its light all over the world.
Soon after, the sky and earth where Zhuge Liang was located were illuminated by stars and moon, and there was no need for Zhuge Liang to advance in the dark with a lantern.
Zhuge Liang, who was surrounded by thousands of stars, seemed to have something in his heart, thinking of the east wind outside Jiange more than a month ago.
Somehow, an idea came to Zhuge Liang's mind:
Is this your gift to your teacher?
I use the east wind to give you tens of thousands of elite soldiers to accomplish things, and you give me back a bright star to illuminate my way forward.
Maybe all this was just Zhuge Liang's conjecture, but it didn't stop Zhuge Liang from laughing heartily again.
Even if he seems a little wanton today, so what if he is wanton!
His beloved disciple pulled the big man back from the edge of the cliff!
And after this battle, reviving the Han Dynasty and returning it to the old capital was no longer an idea!
Zhuge Liang's loud laughter caused Yang Yi to look up. When he looked up, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
In his eyes, the sky and the earth are so bright that they confuse people's eyes.
In his eyes, Wolong is showing off his body and showing high spirits.
Seeing this scene, Yang Yi took several deep breaths to calm down:
One person borrows the east wind, and another person guides the starlight. Isn’t this considered a god?
...
The next morning, when the Han army camp learned of the great victory on the front line, they burst into loud cheers.
Under Zhuge Liang's intentional indulgence, many Han soldiers could not suppress the shock and surprise in their hearts. They walked to the open space of the camp one after another, holding up their scabbards and tapping their shields.
"General! General!"
Thousands of violent knocks and thousands of heartfelt shouts turned into the loudest sound in the world at this moment, vibrating in the deep and quiet mountain road.
And as the loud sound got higher and higher, it soon reached the Wei army camp.
Cao Hong, who still didn't know the reason, was awakened from his sleep by the bursts of enthusiastic noise.
After being awakened, Cao Hong immediately thought that the Han army was going to attack the camp. This frightened Cao Hong and jumped up from the couch.
He vowed to defend this passage of life for the general!
But later, Cao Hong learned that the Han army had not made any move to attack the camp, which made Cao Hong angry and puzzled.
If you don't attack, why do you have such high morale?
He even calls him "General"!
Don’t you know that scaring people can scare them to death?
What a bunch of ignorant things.
However, after being angry, Cao Hong quickly calmed down.
Cao Hong knows what kind of big thing Cao Zhen is planning now. Once this big thing is completed, I am afraid that the "Great General" called by these rebellious officials and traitors will be reported to the three armies.
And the end of the "tens of thousands" Han troops confronting him outside the camp will naturally come.
Thinking of this, Cao Hong, who felt that he was not full from sleep, undressed and fell asleep gradually.
Before falling asleep, Cao Hong had an idea in his mind:
There will be a time when you cry.
But what Cao Hong didn't know was that on that day, in the sword pavilion that he could not detect, there was a messenger with a messenger bag on his waist and a red flag on his back. He quickly rode out of the gate and headed towards Chengdu.
Rush in the direction quickly.
This messenger's name is Liu Yin.
Liu Yin is a descendant of the Chengdu gentry in Shu County. He joined the army this year at the call of Yang Hong.
What Liu Yin didn't expect was that he would get such a good job just after joining the army.
Of course, we don’t need to talk about how many people he competed with and how many relationships he spent before getting this good job.
After all, everyone knows that bringing such a great victory back to Chengdu is a great honor.
This kind of honor attracted the sergeants in the army to rush for it.
Liu Yin, who had won this honor, was very careful about the letter bag on his waist during the journey to Chengdu.
If it rains, Liu Yin would rather get a cold shower than get a drop of rain on the letter bag around his waist.
Of course, because of the urgency in his heart, Liu Yin traveled almost day and night along the way. Except for taking a break when changing horses at the inn, Liu Yin hardly slept a wink.
Under Liu Yin's hard work day and night, Liu Yin rode his horse to the outside of Chengdu in just a few days.
After seeing the majestic city not far away, the sleepy Liu Yin suddenly cheered up.
He kept cracking his whip, trying to make the horse go faster.
Under Liu Yin's constant whipping, the painful horse quickly took him outside the moat of Chengdu City.
Seeing that his own messenger had arrived, Lieutenant Jufu, the commander of the city guard, immediately ordered people to open the city gate and lower the drawbridge.
Watching the suspension bridge in front of him gradually being lowered and the city gate slowly opening, Liu Yin became more and more excited.
In excitement, Liu Yin took off the water bag and drank several mouthfuls of water in order to restore the function of his dry and hoarse throat as soon as possible.
Today, he is the spokesperson of the Deer God and wants to announce his achievements to the world!
After the suspension bridge was completely lowered, Liu Yin, who could no longer hold himself back, immediately slapped his horse and rushed towards the city.
As soon as the figure entered the city, loud roars turned into thunder and exploded around Liu Yin.
"Great victory in Liangzhou! More than 100,000 Wei troops were wiped out!"
"Great victory in Liangzhou! More than 100,000 Wei troops were wiped out!"
...
A hoarse roar came from Liu Yin's mouth, and when the judge on the city gate heard this sentence, he who was drinking water spurted out the water in his mouth, splashing all over his body.
.
Not only Jufu behaved like this, but even the people walking along the streets in the city stopped one after another after hearing the news and looked at Liu Yin with extremely shocked expressions.
Even the residents at home on both sides of the street, after hearing the news, put down their work, opened the door as quickly as possible, and rushed out of the house to find the source of the news.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves. This Liu Yin is really a good stone.
