Wei Yan can be said to be the only remaining veteran of Shu Han except Zhuge Liang.

At the beginning, after Wei Yan defected to Liu Bei in Jingzhou, he followed Liu Bei to attack Shuzhong, so he made many military exploits and was promoted to a miscellaneous general by Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei ascended the throne and became emperor, he handed over Hanzhong, the northern gate of Shuzhong, to Wei Yan to guard.

You must know that Hanzhong has been a military center since ancient times, and it has a pivotal role in Shuzhong, and Wei Yan was appointed by Liu Bei as the Taishou of Hanzhong, which shows that Wei Yan is deeply respected by Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei was alive, he named Wei Yan as the general of Zhenbei and worshiped the Marquis of Tingdu.

And Wei Yan was also loyal to Liu Bei and Shu Han, and never thought of rebelling.

In order to repay the kindness of the first emperor Liu Bei, Wei Yan guarded Hanzhong for fifteen years, but Cao Wei did not dare to attack.

Under Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan was further reused.

As a veteran of the Shu Han Dynasty, Wei Yan has a very strong sense of the Northern Expedition, and at the same time he is a general who leads the troops, and he can be described as like-minded with Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang naturally will not bury Wei Yan, under Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan can be said to have made many achievements.

He was named the general of the expedition to the north by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister Sima, the assassin of Liangzhou, the fake festival, and the Marquis of Zhengnan.

The general of Zhengbei belongs to the four generals, one level higher than the general of the four towns, and Wei Yan's general of Zhengbei has this big character, which is of extraordinary significance.

Further up is the level of hussar generals, chariot generals, and generals, and they are on an equal footing with the prime minister.

It can be described as a very human minister.

Fake festival, but also can dispose of civil and military officials below 2,000 stone at will, first cut and then play, Shu Han except Zhuge Liang, only Wei Yan has the right to fake the festival.

Not to mention, the Marquis of Nanzheng is already the most senior marquis among the marquis, and above that is the prince and noble.

It can be said that under Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan has reached the peak of a military general, and he can't rise any further.

It can be seen that Zhuge Liang actually values Wei Yan very much, not as rumored, Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan are at odds.

When Liu Yu proposed that Yang Yi was likely to fight against Wei Yan, leading to cannibalism, and even Wei Yan's defeat and death, Zhuge Liang's face began to become dignified.

In fact, in Zhuge Liang's heart, if he really dies, the person who replaces him in the Northern Expedition in the future should be Wei Yan.

Because Wei Yanjun is old, he has the talent to lead the army, and he is also loyal to the first emperor.

If you want to prevent the Northern Expedition from coming to an end, you should entrust it to Wei Yan.

Although Jiang Wei also has a strategy, Jiang Wei is a general, and his qualifications are too shallow, so he can't lead the armies at all, and work together to make a northern expedition to the Central Plains.

He also needs to sharpen his skills in the army.

However, although Wei Yan has a strong ability to command troops, his character flaws are also obvious, he is arrogant and can not tolerate others.

And his personality is more extreme, which can be seen from the sneak attack on Meridian Valley he proposed.

Zhuge Liang was afraid that if he handed over the military power to Wei Yan, Shu Han would be careless in Jingzhou again, if this was the case, then he Zhuge Liang would become a sinner of Shu Han.

Zhuge Liang bowed his head and was silent for a long time, and Liu Yu spoke again to persuade:

"Prime Minister, for the sake of today, let's retire from the army."

"If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that it will not be long after you are exhausted, and an infighting is inevitable."

"If we can withdraw to Shuzhong in time, with Prime Minister Tianwei, we will recall Yang Yi and General Wei back to Chaozhong to see the after-effects."

Zhuge Liang slowly raised his head and stared at Liu Yu's gaze, as if he wanted to see through Liu Yu's careful thoughts.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang smiled lightly and said with a smile:

"Dexing, why are you so optimistic about this Northern Expedition?"

Liu Yu was stunned, it was not that he was not optimistic about this Northern Expedition, but as a traverser, he had already known the outcome of this battle.

But thinking about the situation above the Three Kingdoms court at this time, this result is already doomed.

Cao Wei is now Cao Rong's main business, this son who is not loved by Cao Pi, has hardly been taught by Cao Pi for a day, and it is impossible to learn any imperial mental skills.

Since Cao Heng ascended the throne, he quickly stabilized the situation of Cao Wei, appointed the virtuous ministers of the court, stabilized the court, and pacified the frontier.

Although he made a compromise with the ministers of the family, the power of the DPRK and China was still firmly in his own hands.

Cao Rong boldly used Sima Yitun's soldiers to Yongliang to confront Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han Dynasty.

It can be said that he fully supported Sima Yi, which made Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition fail repeatedly, because behind Sima Yi, stood the entire Cao Wei.

And the difference in strength between Shu Han and Cao Wei is still too huge.

In the absence of accidents, the chances of Shu Han being able to capture Cao Wei are slim.

But Cao Wei produced a Cao Ei, a wise and martial emperor, which already stated that the mandate of heaven was in Wei, not Shu Han.

As long as the emperor is not a stupid person, and with the assistance of good ministers, even if Zhuge Liang is tired to death, it is impossible to take Yongliang.

The autumn breeze is the best illustration.

Now, although it seems that Zhuge Liang has gained a little advantage, you must know that Shu Han is dispatched from all over the country, while Cao Wei only mobilized the Yongliang region.

Cao Wei also has the Youzhou Corps, the Huainan Corps and the Jingzhou Corps, so Liu Yu is not optimistic about this Northern Expedition.

Liu Yu saw Zhuge Liang's eyes staring at him without blinking, bowed slightly, and said apologetically:

"Prime Minister, forgive me for being blunt."

"Although my big man has now gained the advantage of the battlefield, the general trend is not my big man now."

"My Han only occupies one state, and each Northern Expedition will consume several years of accumulation to meet the needs of half a year's expedition."

"But the recovery of the Central Plains is not an overnight effort, and half a year is too short after all, which led to the prime minister's repeated northern expeditions, but he could not make contributions."

"Now there are Ming lords in Cao Wei, capable ministers in the court, and the low-level soldiers are even more elite and fierce."

"At this time, if you bend down and defend your points, wait for the sky, secretly accumulate strength, wait for the world to change, and then wave the Northern Expedition, you will definitely be able to make contributions in one fell swoop."

"The thief is not measured, and the king is not partial. If even we are struggling to survive, where will there be people in this world who can remember the great Han? ”

Zhuge Liang's face was not very good-looking, and he felt that Liu Yu really persuaded him to quit the army and recuperate.

As for Liu Yu's statement that the world has changed, in Zhuge Liang's view, it is nonsense at all.

Now Cao Wei's troops are flourishing, dominating the world, and the northern alien races are honestly cleaned up by Cao Wei, and they dare not go south to herd horses.

And Cao Rong is also at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, so far, I can't see any absurd moves.

If Cao Wei is allowed to accumulate power, Shu Han will be destroyed by Cao Wei sooner or later.

Not only that, but the factions within Shu Han itself are also becoming more and more intense, if there is no Northern Expedition, the Shu Han regime will only die out in internal strife.

The only way to transfer internal contradictions is to transform internal contradictions into external contradictions, so this is the reason why Zhuge Liang continued to go on his northern expeditions.

But Zhuge Liang will not understand that the changes that Liu Yu said will not take long to happen.

Cao Ei's performance so far is indeed perfect, with the appearance of a wise man.

But in history, just after Zhuge Liang died of illness, Cao Rong completely let himself go.

recalled Sima Yi and asked him to build a palace for himself in Luoyang, extravagant and extravagant, raising 10,000 people in the harem, and when he saw a beautiful woman on the street, he was directly abducted to the harem.

In the future, there will be more changes in Sima Yi's Luoshui, and Cao Weitianxia will become Sima's overnight, which is the real change in the world.

Now that Cao Wei has not yet reached the time of real decay, it can be said that he is at his peak, and it is really not wise to fight with him at this time.

"The reason why I have repeatedly played the banner of the Han Dynasty and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is to let the people with lofty ideals who still have the Han in their hearts know that the Han is still there and the Han is not dead."

"With them, the hearts of the Han people are there."

"If even we die down, what hope is there for this big man's world?"

Zhuge Liang's tone was rarely aggravated, and there was a rare coldness in his eyes.

Liu Yu was really angry when he saw Zhuge Liang, and understood that he had said a little too much.

But seeing the gray-haired Zhuge Liang in front of him, even if he was already sick, he was still trying his best to restore the Han family, Liu Yu said something slowly.

And it was these words that made Zhuge Liang's face change greatly.
