Afterwards, Cao Zhen died, and the duel between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi began.

"Although Cao Zhen died, Sima Yi, who succeeded him as commander of the army, was also a talented general and should not be underestimated at all."

"It's not too much and I don't plan to do nothing. Now is the time to look at Sima Yi's countermeasures based on the facts." Zhuge Liang said.

"Zijun, I order you to lead General Wudangfei to continue the siege of Qishan, and the others will follow me."

"Zhang He is very likely to attack Qishan. You should pay more attention."

"I will definitely block Zhang He's offensive and avenge the street pavilion." Wang Ping said.

'If Liang's calculation is correct, Sima Yi's army will rush over there and be taken care of by us, and we can take advantage of the chaos to harvest tens of thousands of wheat.'

"There is no grain in Longxi and transportation is inconvenient. If the wheat can be cut smoothly, the thieves' grain will be in trouble and it will not last long."

Zhuge Liang said: "This time, Liang believes that he will be able to severely defeat the enemy."

"We were given the upper hand from the very beginning of this battle. Zhuge Liang's marching speed was astonishing. He showed that tens of thousands of generals could be defeated. He would give us all our wheat."

"Then a surprise attack team saw through us, caught us and other real main forces, and beat them hard, causing us to lose more than 3,000 people at once."

"It was my mistake."

"The starting point for us to live up to the great general and defeat Zhuge Liang is very thin."

"Don't worry, this is just a small defeat, it won't hurt my bones."

"The general has a suggestion. I wonder if you are willing to accept it."

"Please say."

"The people of Shu cut the wheat so that we can wait for food shortages. There is no food left in Longxi. When the wheat is scattered, we can't stand for long."

"This is indeed a big problem. When the army thought that the people from Shu came all the way, there would be problems with the supply of food and grass. In fact, the situation for us was even worse."

"After all, this place is not a place where I, the Wei Dynasty, can move freely." Sima Yi said.

"However, there is still a breakthrough point in Zhuge Liang's plan." Guo Zhun said, "That is that we can transport it from Guanzhong."

"But Guanzhong is not convenient for transportation." Sima Yi said doubtfully.

"I usually use my grace to support those people, and they help with transportation."

"Beautiful, as long as I wait for the supply of food and grass to be safe, and then stay in danger, it will be enough to make the Shu people retreat."

"Hmph, the general's tactics are really powerful. We have a group of us sitting here waiting for the big prize. The turtle skill is truly outstanding." Fei Yao said.

"I can't stand it anymore. There are actually people who are lazier than me. General Sima is as fearful of the enemy as a tiger. I'm really impressed."

"It's really ugly. If my father were still alive, he would have led eight hundred warriors straight to Zhuge Liang's main camp." Zhang Hu said.

"If it were my father, it would only take 600 people to defeat Zhuge Liang." Le Lin said.

"Shut up, you two brats. When I, Lao Niu, led 500 people, I had the same name as Zhou Yu. You two dads are so powerful."

"Fart, how can you, a stupid pig, compete with my father?" Zhang Hu said.

"It's so funny. I don't know who was the one who asked Cao Ren for help after being surrounded."

Fei Yao and General Wei were Cao Zhen's past confidants, but it was expected that they would be dissatisfied with him now. The only thing he believed in was Zhang He's attitude.

Cao Zhen, Cao Zhen, over the years my official position has always been higher than yours, and my prestige in the army is not as good as yours. I can only use this opportunity to defeat Zhuge Liang.

Only then can I prove myself.

"Can you guys please be quiet? The original beauty of thinking has been destroyed by your nonsense." Zhang He said.

"Zhang He believes that the general's strategy of holding on and waiting for the enemy to retreat is certainly correct, but it also shakes our national prestige and military morale, and lacks a shocking beauty."

"Although the general used my powder to make a surprise attack before, the battle was defeated because the main force was slow to move. The general's troops were not able to control it as quickly as Xincheng."

"why is that?"

"We were supposed to press forward step by step when Zhuge Liang was retreating and regrouping. Unexpectedly, the general was actually preparing to run in front of the opponent and hide without leaving his station."

"Such a determined turtle-shell fighting method is really not simple."

"You're right." Sima Yi looked expressionless, thinking that if he hadn't been well-educated and heard what he just said, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

With my current ability, I can't beat Zhuge Liang, but in three years it's hard to say that I won't give up so easily.

Hanzhong.

It has been raining for several days recently, and the supply of food and grass may have been delayed. If Zhuge Liang is blamed, it will be troublesome.

Who is Zhuge Liang? He dares to enlighten me. He forgets that I should be on an equal footing with him.

I remember that the late emperor valued my talents and appointed me as a lonely and important minister, but I didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would use his power to exclude himself, and I would end up where I am now.

No, I have to fight back, otherwise I will never have a chance to turn around in my life.

"Dexin, go and inform the Prime Minister that the Army Supply Department is here, and the Emperor has issued an order to return to the court."

'Where is the imperial edict for my subordinates who dare to order the Prime Minister to return to the army?'

"This is a secret code given to me by the Holy One. Do you dare to doubt me?"

It's too bad that the envoy sent to fetch the imperial edict hasn't come back yet, so we have to do this first.

"I don't dare, my subordinate will go get it first."

Li Yan must have falsely conveyed the imperial edict, but I am a soft-spoken person, and nothing I say is of any use. I am as weak as the crystal clear south, and all my ambitions will be destroyed in one day.

"I followed the instructions from General Li Yan and said that it was secretly issued by the Holy Emperor that there were difficulties in the supply of military supplies. Please ask the Prime Minister to return to the city immediately."

"How many people actually ordered the troops to return to the court when the war was going on?" Zhuge Ling said.

"This must be Li Yan's idea. The Prime Minister should ignore this order and continue to attack the Cao thieves."

"The Prime Minister is still a Han official, so if he refuses the imperial edict, doesn't it mean that he is committing rebellion?" Yang Yi said.

"The whole army is ordered to retreat, but Liang has a battle plan to implement, and I don't know who is willing to take on this job."

"Let us, Chang Baijun, take on this job." Lin Xiao said.

This person is Lin Xiao. Judging from his courage, his future development is limitless.

"Please allow me to participate. I have just been promoted to former general but have not accomplished much in this Northern Expedition. I must at least participate in this mission."

"Meng Yan is also willing to join the war."

| "I'm really looking forward to the performance of the three rising stars in our army. The three of them will act like this when the time comes. If the plan is successful, they can get a general from Cao's army."

Zhuge Liang said.

"The Shu people seem to be preparing to retreat. This is a good opportunity to pursue. The whole army is ready to pursue."

"Great, all the soldiers have been bored for a long time."

"I didn't expect that General Oogway would sometimes move."

"The Art of War says, besiege the city and avoid the way out, and the lich will pursue it. Now the Shu people must be prepared to retreat. Please think twice, general."

Zhang He said.

"I remember you were not the main force in the battle before, why has it changed now?" Sima Yi said.

"At that time, the situation on both sides of the head-on confrontation on the battlefield was equal. At this time, we had the numerical advantage and we could naturally win."

"However, now that Zhuge Liang has retreated, we are eager to make meritorious deeds and the Shu people are facing death and seeking survival. The outcome is difficult to predict."

"What's more, the Shu people are good at guarding against pursuit. There is no grass growing on the graves of those people earlier. Are they planning to send people to die?"

"It's just that you said you were going to attack before? I'll give you a chance now," Sima Yi said.

"Now the enemy clearly has a trap on our side. It would be foolish for us to pursue him. If we lose the battle, our morale will be damaged."

Zhang He said.

"If I order General Zhang to lead the army to chase the Shu people, I think General Zhang will not disappoint."

"Since you are a general, you have to obey the orders. This is the beauty of obedience." Zhang He said: "Hahahaha."

"General Zhang, why are you laughing?"

'I just discovered that even my Tianming, it turns out that my blood is used to instill my new general in Wei. If I don't do this, this general will never be able to grow.'

Zhang He said.

I found that my combat skills were far less impressive than Zhang He's, but if I didn't make positive wisdom, I'm afraid no soldiers would obey me in the future.

"Zhang He will entrust Wei's future to you now. It's a pity that he won't be able to see the day when your phoenix spreads its wings."

"According to the report from the blanket in front, the person coming to pursue this time is Zhang He."

'I didn't expect that the prime minister's prey this time would be such a valuable Zhang He.'

"Be careful. Even if we lay the most perfect trap, we still don't know whether we can defeat Zhang He."

"This is the biggest battle I, Yuan Lin, have ever faced. I must kill Zhang He."

"I'm really sorry. Of course I doubted you. Now that you have made so many great contributions, I feel really ashamed."

"It doesn't have to be like this. With the help of two of you, my defeated army will always be strengthened." Lin Xiao said.
