Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, the banks of the Weishui River, and the Wuzhangyuan!
People screamed and horses neighed, smoke curled up from cooking stoves, and towering tents stretched for miles. The strong wind blew by, and the black red dragon flag standing in the camp rustled, giving the entire military camp a murderous atmosphere!
It was past dusk, the setting sun was mostly below the horizon, and stars were already faintly visible in the sky!
At this time, outside the main tent of the Chinese army in the camp, there were forty-nine soldiers wearing soap clothes and holding soap flags, seven in a team, walking around the tent like a seven-star Beidou!
Inside the main tent, the lights are bright. Seven large lamps are placed on the ground to occupy the position of the Big Dipper. On the outside are forty-nine small lamps, showing the appearance of the stars in the sky. In addition, there is an altar surrounded by flowers in the direction of the North Star.
On top of the altar, a small green lotus-shaped lamp was spitting out a weak flame. The flame was as small as a bean, like a candle in the wind, and looked like it might be extinguished at any moment.
An old man with gray beard and slender face, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a sword, stepped on the Tiangang Beidou step, and walked slowly around the altar with his eyes closed.
Although the old man with disheveled hair has a sickly face, when he occasionally opens his eyes, there is a bright light in his eyes, which is almost brighter than the lights in the tent. It can be said that he is so heroic!
This old man in Taoist robes is indeed a very famous figure in history!
He is so wise that he is almost demonic, and his reputation has been passed down for thousands of years. He has been regarded by all dynasties as the embodiment of wisdom and loyalty, and he will be respected by the world forever!
He is none other than Zhuge Kongming, the Marquis of Wu of the Shu Han Dynasty who worked hard and died for himself!
Zhuge Kongming assisted the Shu Han Dynasty, devoted himself to supporting the Han Dynasty, and launched a battle for hegemony with the powerful Cao Wei. He sent troops to Qishan six times in an effort to regain the Central Plains. Unfortunately, Zhuge Kongming met his lifelong rival, the cunning and fox-like Wei Governor Sima Yi!
Zhuge Kongming came out of Qishan on the sixth day, but he did not build an inch of land. In the battle the day before yesterday, I finally lured Sima Yi into an ambush and prepared to burn down the Hulu Valley and defeat him in one battle. Unexpectedly, a heavy rain from the sky finally allowed the old thief Sima Yi to escape with his life!
After accumulated illness, grief and anger, Zhuge Kongming finally fell ill in front of the two armies.
That night, Zhuge Kongming looked at the sky at night and saw that his own general star was faintly visible and its light was dim, so he knew that his life was not long.
Zhuge Kongming was proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and for the great cause of the Shu Han Dynasty, he decided to use the method of using the star to extend his life, changing his fate against the will of heaven and extending his life by one century!
Tonight is already the seventh night of the life renewal of the star. As long as the main light in the tent does not go out, it can be said that the life renewal is successful!
However, the power of God is unpredictable, and even a person as powerful as Zhuge Kongming cannot guarantee that this act of defying heaven and changing one's destiny will be successful!
The night is getting darker and darker. Since tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, I can see the Milky Way all over the sky and the stars are brilliant! The strong wind has stopped all around, the fighting is silent, it can be said that there is silence!
A young general wearing silver armor gently opened the curtain and slipped in quietly. This young general's surname was Jiang, whose given name was Wei and whose courtesy name was Boyue. He was the successor appointed by Zhuge Kongming. He was the only one in the army who could directly enter the main tent without passing through.
Jiang Wei, who was inside the tent, couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw the main light gradually turning on! As long as two more hours pass, when the sky is bright and the main lamp is still on, the star will be successful, and the teacher will be able to live for another century!
But at this moment, there were sudden sounds of fighting outside the camp, and then there was the sound of rapid footsteps.
Zhuge Kongming's expression remained unchanged and he continued to circle the altar, but Jiang Wei's expression tightened and he wanted to step forward and block the entrance to the tent. However, Jiang Wei was worried that he would be caught in the wind when he walked, so he did not dare to move too much. He just slowed down for a moment. The curtain was suddenly opened, and a strong man in iron armor hurried in and clasped his fists and said: "Prime Minister, Wei Jun Attack the camp!"
Jiang Wei was stunned. He saw a breeze brought up by lifting the curtain and extinguished the main light. His face suddenly became ashen, and the veins on his hands were bulging. In anger, he pulled out his sword and was about to kill him and break in. That armored man in the tent!
At this time, Zhuge Kongming sighed softly, abandoned his sword and sighed: "Life and death are determined by fate. This method of Nuan Xing goes against the will of heaven. Even if it fails, it is really God's will. No wonder Wen Chang!"
The armored man who broke into the Chinese army's tent was none other than Wei Yan, the general of the Shu army. At this time, he also realized that he had caused a big disaster, and he quickly fell to the ground to apologize. Jiang Wei on the side also abandoned his sword and cried bitterly, kneeling to the ground.
Zhuge Kongming looked indifferent at this time. He turned back and ordered Wei Yan: "No need to panic, Chief Wen. The Wei army's attack on the camp is just to test the strength of our army. Just lead your army to attack, and the Wei army will retreat!"
Wei Yan hurriedly saluted Zhuge Kongming, ordered his troops and horses to fight outside the camp. After a while, the sound of fighting gradually faded away.
Zhuge Kongming looked at Jiang Wei who was still kneeling on the ground, stretched out his hand to help him up, and sighed: "Bo Yue, I have devoted myself to my master and tried my best to conquer the Central Plains, but God's will is like this, and there is nothing I can do. All the generals in the army Among them, you are the only one who can inherit my mantle! My master has learned all his life and has written twenty-four articles on war, which contain the eight tasks, seven commandments, six fears, and five fears. You need to study hard and pass on my art of war to the world. . In addition, I will give you a picture book, which contains the method of making a repeating crossbow. This crossbow is called Yuanrong. One crossbow can fire ten arrows. As long as it is used properly in the army, it can definitely restrain the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Wei army. Bo I promise that the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty can only be entrusted to you as my teacher!"
Jiang Wei felt extremely sad in his heart. Although he reached out to take the military manual and the crossbow diagram, he was choked with sobs and couldn't say a word.
Zhuge Kongming reached out and patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder, and said with sincerity: "Bo Yue, the natural dangers in the middle of Shu are enough to defeat Cao Wei's millions of troops. However, you must be careful in the Yinping area. Although this place is dangerous, it is afraid of surprise attacks by enemy soldiers. You can always station a battalion on the top of the mountain to guard the key roads! In addition, my master has three tips here. After my master dies, you can open them one by one and follow the plan!"
With tears in his eyes, Jiang Wei nodded solemnly towards Zhuge Kongming. Then Kong Ming waved his hand, and Jiang Wei reluctantly left the tent.
When Jiang Wei just came out of the tent, Zhuge Kongming's expression changed, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then he slumped down and fell to the ground.
It turns out that Nuan Xing's method is a method that defies heaven and changes destiny. Once the spell fails, it will be counterattacked by the vitality of heaven and earth. Zhuge Kongming had previously suppressed his injuries, firstly because he did not want to disturb the morale of the army, and secondly, to prevent Jiang Wei from losing his position! At this time, my mood relaxed a little, but naturally I couldn't hold on anymore.
Zhuge Kongming, who fell to the ground, smiled sadly and murmured to himself: "My lord, generals, Kongming will come to Huangquan to meet you soon! It's a pity that after working hard all his life, we can't realize our dream. This big man's I'm afraid the dragon flag won't be able to be inserted back into the Central Plains..."
More than ten days later, on August 28, 234 AD, Zhuge Kongming, a great wise and wise prime minister, died of illness in the Wuzhangyuan Army. One hundred thousand Shu troops lost their voices in pain. After rolling up their flags, they slowly retreated because of the giant pillar holding up the land of Bashu. It collapsed! !
Jiang Wei endured his grief and opened the three brochures left by Zhuge Kongming one after another, and then acted according to the plans in the brochures...
Let's also say that Sima Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the Shu army retreating, because this just meant that Zhuge Kongming had passed away. So, Sima Yi ordered the three armies to pursue the retreating Shu army. Unexpectedly, when the Wei army was about to catch up with the Shu army, they saw the Shu army's rear troops splitting to both sides, and dozens of generals holding a four-wheeled vehicle came straight towards the Wei army. And there is a person sitting on the four-wheeled vehicle, it is Zhuge Kongming with feather fan and silk scarf!
Sima Yi was shocked and exclaimed: "Zhuge Kongming is still here, I have fallen into his trap again!"
Frightened, Sima Yi turned back on his horse and hurriedly fled back. As a result, the Wei army lost all morale and collapsed without a fight. They were defeated and fled dozens of miles away before gathering the remaining soldiers and returning to camp dejectedly.
In fact, Zhuge Kongming is indeed dead, but among the tricks he left behind, today's plan to suspect the enemy has already been arranged. Jiang Wei acted according to his plan and found someone to pretend to be Kong Ming. He just waved his flag and scared back hundreds of thousands of Wei troops, allowing one hundred thousand Shu troops to retreat safely!
After this battle, there was a proverb among the people: dead Zhuge scares away living Sima!
It can be seen from this that Zhuge Kongming's wisdom is really able to judge yin and yang, and decide between life and death. He is worthy of the name of being so wise that he is almost a demon! !
A few days later, the middle army of the Shu army retreated to the entrance of the plank road, only to encounter Wei Yan leading the rebels to attack and burn the plank road, cutting off the Shu army's retreat. It turned out that after Zhuge Kongming passed away, no one in the Shu army could suppress Wei Yan. This man was arrogant and arrogant and took the opportunity to rebel and wanted to seize the military power of the Shu army in one fell swoop.
It's just that Zhuge Kongming has great skills, and among the tricks he left behind, he has already arranged for Ma Dai to implement a counter-intentional plan, pretending to surrender to Wei Yan's tent, and then in front of the two armies, Ma Dai suddenly used a dragging knife plan to kill Wei Yan with one blow. Put down the civil strife of the Shu army!
At this point, the Shu Han regime finally transitioned smoothly after the death of Zhuge Kongming, ushering in the post-Three Kingdoms era. At this time, Jiang Wei was holding the three unpacked tips in his hand, and the respect for his teacher in his heart had risen to an unparalleled level!
Unfortunately, the successor of the Shu Han Dynasty was incompetent and surrendered to Cao Wei in 263 AD, causing the Shu Han Dynasty to die in only two generations. After the latter's surrender, Jiang Wei remained loyal to the Shu Han and used a divisive plan to instigate General Zhong Hui of Cao Wei to attempt to restore the country. In the end, he was defeated and died. Like his mentor Zhuge Kongming, he left behind a name of loyalty that has been praised throughout the ages!
History is like a rolling river, rushing forward without ever turning back. When the turbulent Three Kingdoms era finally gradually became a thing of the past with the passage of time, the land of China is still moving forward slowly along its inherent historical track!
But no one knows that when Zhuge Kongming, who was so wise and almost demonic, died, there was a ray of loyal soul that would never die, flying straight for nine days, and finally disappearing into a dark space tunnel...
