Chapter 37: Choice
In the blink of an eye, it was six days.
During this period, although Wei Yan wanted to ask to see Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, he was blocked back.
And on the evening of the sixth day, in Zhuge Liang's big tent, the main light was unusually bright, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei were very happy in their hearts, thinking that praying could be accomplished, and Tianming was on the side of Dahan after all.
Wei Yan has been in a very depressed mood these days.
Originally, he fought Chen Cang well, but he was about to take Chen Cang City and make a great contribution to the Northern Expedition.
You must know that Chencang is a military town.
It not only guards the Chencang crossing that enters Guanzhong from Hanzhong, but also guards the valley mouth of the Weihe River valley.
As long as Chen Cang is taken, then Longxi is equivalent to opening the gate for the Shu army.
Occupying Chencang, the Shu army can attack and retreat, and it can be defended, which is more important than this area of the Northern Plains.
At the beginning, Zhuge Liang's second Northern Expedition was to occupy Chencang City, take Chencang Road, and Shu Han to capture the bridgehead of the next Northern Expedition.
It's a pity that Hao Zhao's iron-headed baby, with 3,000 troops, was stubbornly defended.
But now, the troops in Guanzhong are empty, and Wei Yan's 10,000 elite Shu troops are about to take Chencang City, but they are transferred back by military orders.
Although it is said that Prime Minister Zhuge is unwell, but the Prime Minister's physical discomfort is not a day or two, and even if the Prime Minister really has any problems, isn't there still him Wei Yan?
How can a major national event be abolished because of one person?
Wei Yan felt that the Shu army took Zhuge Liang too seriously, and without Zhuge Liang, he Wei Yan could still lead the Shu army to the Northern Expedition, recover the Central Plains, and restore the Han Dynasty.
It's a pity that the military order is like a mountain, even Wei Yan didn't dare to disobey the military order, so he could only regretfully withdraw to the Beiyuan camp with the Shu army.
But when he returned to the camp, he was told that everyone was not allowed to leave the camp, and it was Zhuge Liang's order.
Wei Yan wanted to ask to see Zhuge Liang, but was repeatedly refused, which made Wei Yan feel angry and had nowhere to vent, and he was bored for the past few days.
Seeing that it has been six or seven days since he came back, Prime Minister Zhuge did not have any military orders, and the 100,000 troops were stationed in the camp in Beiyuan, advancing and not advancing, retreating and not retreating, I don't know what the reason is.
Just when Wei Yan was bored, he suddenly heard the sound of drums outside the camp, which couldn't help but make Wei Yan suspicious.
Just as he was about to leave the camp to see what was going on, he saw the scout returning from outside the camp.
After figuring out the situation, I learned that it was Xiahou Ba, the general of the Wei army, who provoked outside the camp.
Wei Yan climbed the wall and saw Xiahou Ba arrogant and arrogant in front of him, and he was immediately furious.
Immediately, he was about to kill out of the camp and behead Xiahou Ba under his horse.
It's a pity that before he got out of the camp, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the camp.
"The prime minister has an order, and everyone is not allowed to go out of the village to meet the enemy."
"If you want to get out of the village, you must have a warrant from the prime minister."
Wei Yan only felt furious, and was about to kill regardless of it, but was stopped by Wu Yi.
"Don't be impulsive, this is an order from the prime minister, don't make mistakes!"
It turned out that Wu Yi was on duty today.
Wei Yan didn't look down on anyone in the army, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous with Wu Yi.
Because Wu Yi is Liu Chan's uncle, his sister is Mrs. Wu, the empress dowager of Shu Han.
When Wu Yi followed Liu Zhang, he made many military exploits, and after following Liu Bei, he was even more experienced in a hundred battles, and his prestige in the army was not inferior to Wei Yan.
When Wei Yan saw Wu Yi going out in person, he could only endure his anger and rushed towards Zhuge Liang's camp angrily.
This time, Wei Yan made up his mind that no matter who stopped him, he would not be able to see Zhuge Liang today.
Liu Yu has been waiting quietly outside the tent since Zhuge Liang began to pray.
During this period, I also saw a lot of generals and wanted to ask to see Zhuge Liang, but Jiang Wei blocked him.
Jiang Wei was in danger of Zhuge Liang's safety, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless, he had been waiting outside the tent wholeheartedly, and he would also enter the tent from time to time to check the situation.
Of course, Wei Yan has also come to see Zhuge Liang many times, hoping to see Zhuge Liang.
But they were all blocked back by Liu Yu and Jiang Wei, Liu Yu was afraid that after Wei Yan went in, he would extinguish the Seven Star Lantern because of his too big movements.
After all, in the romance, it was Wei Yan who suddenly entered the account and extinguished Zhuge Liang's hope of the Seven Stars.
Now that it has been seven days coming, Liu Yu's spirit is highly nervous, and at the same time, his heart is beginning to be entangled again.
Because in his mind, he could clearly see the countdown of the system's tasks, and there were less than two days to go.
If Zhuge Liang really prayed for success, I am afraid that with Zhuge Liang's character, he would never withdraw his troops so easily, and then he would die.
But if he fails, Liu Yu will feel that he may live in guilt and self-blame for the rest of his life, because there was once an opportunity in front of him, which could save the prime minister who had died with all his might, but he was given up by himself.
The painful torment made Liu Yu obviously haggard in the past two days, and he didn't know what to do right.
And just when Liu Yu was full of thoughts, Wei Yan had already rushed towards Zhuge Liang's big tent.
It just so happened that at this time, Jiang Wei was checking the situation in the tent, and no one outside the tent dared to stop Wei Yan.
When Liu Yu saw this scene, he instantly thought of the scene in the romance, Wei Yanfei stepped into the tent, his steps were very urgent, and he actually stepped on the seven-star lantern, causing the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Wuhou, to die in Wuzhangyuan.
Today is the seventh day, and according to the romance, if Wei Yan goes, Zhuge Liang will definitely die!
Suddenly, Liu Yu fell into a difficult choice in his heart.
To block, or not to block?
If Wei Yan is stopped, Zhuge will die by himself.
If you don't stop Wei Yan, you will live by yourself and the prime minister will die.
For a moment, Liu Yu thought a lot, but in the end, Liu Yu stood up.
It was an accident that he came to this time, if he could exchange for the 12-year life of Prime Minister Zhuge to recreate the Han Dynasty and recast the glory of the Han Dynasty for 400 years, what if he died.
"General Wei, wait!"
Liu Yu didn't hesitate any longer, hurriedly rushed to Wei Yan's side, and stretched out his hand to block Wei Yan's way.
"The general can't be entered into the account, the prime minister has important things to do at this time, and it is inconvenient to see the general, please go back for the time being and come back tomorrow."
"Dexing, even you dare to stop me?"
The anger on Wei Yan's face did not subside, he had just been deflated in front of Wu Yi, and now even his own subordinates dared to stop him.
When did he Wei Yan's status in the army be so low?
"Today I will see the prime minister, and whoever stops me will die!"
Wei Yan was furious, and actually pulled out the head knife in the middle of his waist.
Liu Yu was also nervous at the moment, he had even put life and death out of the way, no matter what, he would definitely stop Wei Yan today.
"Woooo
Liu Yu also pulled out the ring head knife, and said in a firm tone:
"General Wei, don't force me, no matter who you are today, you won't be allowed to enter."
"Otherwise, you will have to fight for your life."
"Hahaha."
Wei Yan didn't expect Liu Yu to really dare to draw a knife at him, so he laughed angrily and said loudly:
"Okay, I haven't seen you for a few days, you're really good at it."
"Just let me see how much your ability has increased, if you unfortunately die under a certain knife, it will be considered your fate."
As he spoke, Wei Yan looked at Liu Yu.
Wei Yan's knife was fierce and powerful, Liu Yu didn't dare to be careless, gathered all his mind, and raised his knife to greet him.
"Sonorous"
Gold and iron intersect, sparks splash everywhere.
Although Liu Yu had already used a lot of strength, he was still split back five steps by Wei Yan.
Wei Yan became famous more than ten years ago, and he was a quasi-first-class fierce general under Liu Bei, and Liu Yu's third-rate kung fu could not be Wei Yan's opponent at all.
Just by strength, Liu Yu is not Wei Yan's opponent, let alone the killing skills that Wei Yan has honed over the battlefield for decades.
If he was on the horse just now, Liu Yu would have been beheaded by Wei Yan in just a moment.
However, foot combat is not like horse fighting, as long as it is not an assassination, if you want to distinguish the winner or loser, it cannot be solved in one round.
"Sonorous!"
Liu Yu was split by Wei Yan and retreated again and again, and the danger was repeated, but Liu Yu just fought to the death.
"The reaction is too slow, the shot is weak, the steps are vain, too weak, too weak!"
Wei Yan continued to mock while chopping his mouth, and sneered:
"Boy, with this little ability, you dare to step forward to stop you, aren't you really afraid of death??"
The last two words were shouted, and Wei Yan directly knocked the ring-head knife in Liu Yu's hand away, and then put a knife on Liu Yu's neck.
"Boy, are you going to stop me now?"
Liu Yu's face was calm, although his mouth was numb, but he still said in a firm tone:
"If General Wei wants to make money, he must step over the corpse of his humble position."
