A contingent of 10,000 people meandered along the way back to the army.

But unlike when they came, this red snake-like team no longer has the feeling of being like a broken bamboo and menacing when they came.

At this moment, they are more like a male lion in the twilight, struggling to breathe and lifeless.

After meeting with Jiang Wei, Liu Yu and Jiang Wei withdrew from the siege of Yongcheng, and then led the army to retreat to the south on the same day.

Liu Yu had just returned from Dujiawu Fort, but he had to run again.

An army of 10,000 went on an expedition, but it was in vain, and the demoralization can be imagined.

However, the morale of the 2,000 soldiers led by Liu Yu was slightly higher, because Liu Yu rewarded the army before leaving, which made the morale of the army rise.

When Jiang Wei came, he led the army to Yongcheng in less than two days, and when he returned to Beiyuan, it took three days to arrive.

Fortunately, halfway through, they received the news that Prime Minister Zhuge had sobered up, which lifted the spirits of Jiang Wei and Liu Yu.

It is undeniable that Zhuge Liang is the spiritual pillar of the Shu Han army.

If Zhuge Liang really didn't say a word and died, I was afraid that the Shu Han army would have a subversive situation in an instant.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang woke up, but according to the messenger, Zhuge Liang's health was very poor and he didn't know how long he could last.

Zhuge Liang did not express any objections to Jiang Wei and Liu Yu's return to the army, and it seemed that Zhuge Liang was already planning to withdraw the army.

As soon as he rushed back to the Shu military camp in the Northern Plains, Liu Yu felt the abnormality of the atmosphere in the camp, like the calm before the storm, very depressing and desolate.

Then, Liu Yu and Jiang Wei were summoned by the heralds and asked them to go to Zhuge Liang's camp to discuss matters.

Don't dare to delay, Liu Yu and Jiang Wei handed over the military power, and then Liu Yu settled the Du family's father and son before striding to the direction of Zhuge Liang's camp.

Outside Zhuge Liang's big tent, a large number of Shu army generals have gathered.

Wang Ping, Liao Hua, Zhang Wei, Ma Zhong, Zhang Yi and others were all there, but they didn't see Wei Yan and Jiang Wei.

However, Jiang Wei should have entered the big tent and was taught by Zhuge Liang face-to-face.

But Wei Yan didn't appear, which is very intriguing.

After Liu Yu arrived outside the tent, he looked very unsociable.

After all, these generals are all old subordinates who follow Zhuge Liang, and Liu Yu is a young man who has just emerged, and he has no common topic with them at all.

And everyone present, the lowest Zhang Wei is also the existence of a miscellaneous general, and it can be said that if you take out any of them, they are all higher than Liu Yu's official position.

Liu Yu was even born as Wei Yan's general, which made the generals stay away.

Because at this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhuge Liang's body is likely to collapse, followed by the dispute between Yang Yi and Wei Yan.

One of them is a general of the expedition to the north, and the other is the prime minister of military affairs, it is difficult to say who loses and who wins, but now Zhuge Liang seems to value Yang Yi more.

Wei Yan has not come back until now, which is proof.

Liu Yu had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to talk to these people, just stood behind these people, quietly waiting for Zhuge Liang's summons.

As time passed, Jiang Wei quickly withdrew from the big tent, and after seeing Liu Yu, he nodded slightly, and then rode out of the camp, as if he was going to prepare something.

Then, more and more generals were summoned by Zhuge Liang into the big tent, and after Jiang Wei left Zhuge Liang's tent.

Liu Yu was the last to be summoned into the camp by Zhuge Liang, and when Liu Yu saw Zhuge Liang again, he couldn't recognize the person in front of him as the handsome and elegant Prime Minister Zhuge before.

I saw the current Zhuge Liang, with a sallow complexion, a withered appearance, white lips, and a white hair overnight, without the same white color as before.

There are all kinds of signs that Zhuge Lian has run out of oil at this time, and he is afraid that it will not be long before he dies.

"Dexing, are you back?"

Hearing the movement, Zhuge Liang's slightly drooping eyelids slowly lifted, and when he saw that it was Liu Yu, a very haggard smile appeared on his face, and Liu Yu's heart trembled.

I remember reading such a question in my previous life, what is the regret of history?

Some people say that it is the autumn wind that makes the hero cry for a long time.

But when this kind of thing happened alive in front of Liu Yu, Liu Yu, an eight-foot man, instantly turned red, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

"Prime Minister, you... I'm so tired!! ”

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and did not dare to raise his head, for fear that the tears in his eyes would be seen by Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang could naturally feel Liu Yu's emotions, but even in the face of death, Zhuge Liang still had a faint smile on his face, and said:

"It really made Dexing right, my uncompetitive body doesn't seem to be able to hold it back."

"The rest will be left to you."

"I summoned you because I had an important matter for you."

Liu Yu didn't want to see Zhuge Liang die like this, shook his head and said in a choked voice:

"Prime Minister, no, you'll be fine."

"Prime Minister, you are proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, there is a method of continuing life, called the method of Seven Stars Prayer, why don't you use this method to prolong your life?"

After Zhuge Liang heard Liu Yu's words, his dim eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:

"Dexing also knows its law?"

"I've heard of one or two."

Of course Liu Yu didn't know, but he just said it in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.

But no matter what, Liu Yu also hoped that Zhuge Liang could give it a try, he really didn't want to see Zhuge Liang die in front of him like this.

"I know this method, but this method is fighting against the sky, going against the sky, I don't know what the will of heaven is?"

"In that case, please use this method to prolong your life as soon as possible."

"I have ordered Boyo to go down and make arrangements, and if it succeeds, I will live an extended life."

Zhuge Liang's face was flat, as if he was talking about someone else's business, which had nothing to do with him.

"When the time comes, you can accompany Boyo outside the tent to protect the Dharma for me."

"No!"

Liu Yu thought to himself, this time he must not let Wei Yan step on the main lamp, and when the time comes, he must let Zhuge Liang succeed in prolonging his life.

But Liu Yu thought about it, if Zhuge Liang succeeded in extending his life, would he still withdraw his troops?

If the Shu army doesn't withdraw, then won't he die?

For a moment, Liu Yu fell into a tangle.

Zhuge Liang's voice sounded in the big tent again, saying:

"If I'm really gone, I hope you can advise the chief and don't be evil."

"When the time comes, I will hand over the military power to Duke Wei, you must stop Wen Chang, don't make him impulsive and harm my Han army of 100,000."

Liu Yu was shocked, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to believe Yang Yi in the end.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, Yang Yi is a civilian official, and he doesn't have Wei Yan's military heart in the army.

If it is handed over to Yang Yi, he can only follow Zhuge Liang's instructions and slowly withdraw to Shuzhong, even if he has any thoughts, a civil official and a long history will not be able to control so many arrogant soldiers.

But Wei Yan is different, as the oldest and most powerful general today, if he obtains military power, once he has a different heart, who else in this Shu Han can control him?

What's more, Wei Yan is bent on the Northern Expedition, if Zhuge Liang dies of illness and Sun Quan retires from the army, he still insists on the Northern Expedition, which is simply a head for Sima Yi.

Wei Yan could not be Sima Yi's opponent, let alone the Cao Yi court behind Sima Yi.

Whatever the reason, Zhuge Liang would not hand over the army to Wei Yan, and Yang Yi was Zhuge Liang's best choice.

And Liu Yu is the glimmer of life left by Zhuge Liang to Wei Yan, if Liu Yu can persuade Wei Yan, then Wei Yan still has a way to live.

If Wei Yan is not persuaded to move, then Wei Yan is looking for his own death, of course, Liu Yu will most likely follow Wei Yan and be killed by Yang Yi.

Thinking about the cause and effect, Liu Yu slowly bowed down and said to Zhuge Liang:

"Obedience."

Seeing Liu Yu so cautious, Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to ask:

"I heard, you brought back a teenager from Yongcheng?"

"Is there anything special about this teenager?"
