Chapter 43: The Night Elephant
Late at night, the sky is unusually bright tonight, full of stars, sprinkling a faint starlight, shining on the land of China.
In particular, the Big Dipper is even brighter and abnormally bright, as if the entire starry sky is covered by the light of the Big Dipper.
Liu Yu kept telling Du Yu everything that might happen in the future.
Regardless of Du Pre or Du Shu's surprised expressions, Liu Yu just asked Du Pre to write these down first.
Seeing that Liu Yu was about to talk about the three families, Du Yu finally couldn't help but interrupt:
"Brother Liu, why do I feel like you're in a hurry today?"
"Is there anything you can't say again? Why do you give me the feeling like..."
Du Yu said that this came to an abrupt end, his eyes were weird, and he stopped talking.
On the side, Du Lan suddenly took over the conversation and said directly:
"It's like you're telling what's going on."
Liu Yu was shocked, and at this time he realized that he might have said too much.
But if you think about it, if you don't say it now, then you may not really have a chance to say it again.
Seeing Du Yu and Du Shu's strange eyes, Liu Yu felt that what he should have said was almost done.
Then he shrugged his shoulders and said:
"What nonsense are you guys! I just felt it. β
But the expressions on Du Yu and Du Shu's faces were not believing Liu Yu's sophistry at all, and when Liu Yu saw this, he could only get up and say:
"Okay, it's getting late today, so you can rest first."
"I'm going back early, and I'm going to be there tomorrow."
"Du Pre, everything is entrusted to you, I hope you can fulfill the last wish of the first emperor and recast the glory of the Han Dynasty."
After speaking, Liu Yu was about to get up and leave, but at the moment he turned around, he heard Du Yu's shout:
"Brother Liu!"
Liu Yu turned his head suspiciously, and saw Du Yu said to him seriously:
"Take care."
Liu Yu smiled brightly, although he came to this world for a short time, he was brilliant enough, at least he planted a seed for the Han.
Next, as long as this seed can break through the ground, then Dahan will really have a chance to rise again.
Liu Yu left the camp and calmly faced his fate.
At this time, the countdown in his mind was less than twenty-four hours.
...
Cao Wei in the camp.
also did not rest, as well as Sima Yi and his son.
"What does it mean to restore the stars to the stars, and the seven stars of the Big Dipper are extremely bewitching?"
Sima Yi looked at the night sky from afar and muttered:
"Did I really miscalculate? Zhuge Liang's life should not be extinguished? β
Sima Zhao said on the side:
"Father, isn't that obvious?"
"If Zhuge Liang is really going to die of illness, then how can Wang Ping dare to come out to fight against General Xiahou today?"
"Zhuge Liang must be fine."
Sima Yi didn't think so, before the Weinan War, Sima Yi witnessed with his own eyes that Zhuge Liang had run out of oil.
In addition, a few days ago, Zhuge Liang's star was dim and crumbling, in Sima Yi's view, the star fell today, why is it that after so many days, Zhuge Liang's star is brighter?
And the light was even half a starry sky in the night sky.
Sima Yi turned his head to look at Sima Shi and asked softly:
"What do you think?"
"I have heard that among the techniques of Qimen Dunjia, there is a method called the technique of prayer, which can prolong people's lives for 12 years."
Sima Shi's tone was dull, and he said in a deep voice:
"The sudden contraction of the Shu army a few days ago must be a drastic change in the battalion."
"In addition, my father watched the sky at night, and Zhuge Liang dimmed the stars, so this matter should be on Zhuge Liang."
"Now that Zhuge Liang has revitalized the star, he has changed from yesterday's malaise, I think Zhuge Liang should have used the technique of prayer."
Sima Zhao's eyes widened, and he looked at Sima Shi in disbelief, is there still this kind of magical technique in this world? If this is the case, then won't my father be able to use this technique to prolong his life in the future?
Noticing Sima Zhao's gaze, Sima Yi snorted coldly:
"Don't ask the common people, ask the ghosts and gods."
"Zhuge Liang likes to pretend to be a god and play ghosts, what kind of prayer technique is just a trick of charlatans."
After speaking, Sima Yi flicked his sleeves, turned around and returned to the big tent, leaving a sentence:
"Continue to hold the camp, and no one shall fight."
Sima Zhao was directly dumbfounded, wondering if his father was annoyed and angry because he didn't know how to pray.
Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi's back, and finally muttered:
"Don't ask the common people, ask the ghosts and gods."
"Zhuge Kongming is nothing more than that."
Sima Zhao's eyes widened at the boss, and he looked at Sima Shi in horror.
Zhuge Kongming, but that's it??
When did your brother become so arrogant?
"Big brother, are you wrong?"
"That Zhuge Kongming has just completed the art of prayer and extended his life for 12 years!"
"This kind of unfathomable technique, is it nothing more than that?"
Sima Shi glanced at Sima Zhao and said softly:
"Wait and see."
After speaking, Sima Shi turned around and left with his hands in his hands, feeling that even his steps were much easier.
Only Sima Zhao was left stunned in place, not knowing what his brother meant.
...
"Knock knock!!"
Just four watch days, Liu Yu was already dressed neatly, and he went out of the camp to find Jiang Wei and go to Yongcheng again.
This expedition must be Jiang Wei's chance for the hidden dragon to ascend to heaven.
As long as he takes the empty Yongcheng and lays the most solid foundation for the victory of this Northern Expedition, then he will definitely be vigorously promoted by Zhuge Liang.
I'm afraid that next, Jiang Wei will even become the first person under Wei Yan in the army.
And with the support of Zhuge Liang, even Wei Yan had to be suppressed by Jiang Wei.
Now Zhuge Liang has extended his life for 12 years, and in these 12 years, Zhuge Liang can definitely train Jiang Wei to be his real successor.
The current Jiang Wei is still too immature, and his martial arts strategy is okay, if he talks about marching and fighting, he can already be compared with the veterans who fought on the battlefield.
But Wen Tao was still a step behind, which also led to the later period of the Shu Han Dynasty, because of Jiang Wei's successive expeditions, he didn't know how to cherish the people's power, and he was not very familiar with the operation, which led to the Shu Han becoming poorer and poorer.
In comparison, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and even Jiang Wei's lifelong enemy Deng Ai have made great achievements in the production of grain.
Although Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi have been fighting for many years, those who are familiar with Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi know that wherever these two people go, they will go to Tuntiantun.
Since Sima Yi sat in Yongliang, he opened up Tuntian and resumed production, so that the originally tired Guanzhong gradually regained its vitality.
After a drought in the Central Plains in the future, Sima Yi instead sent five million grains to Luoyang, allowing the Luoyang court to tide over the food crisis.
Except for the coup d'Γ©tat in Sima Yi's old age, I have to admit that Sima Yi is a commander with outstanding strategy.
And Zhuge Liang, for the great cause of the Northern Expedition, personally garrisoned Hanzhong.
It was also in Hanzhong that countless barren fields were reclaimed to encourage military and civilian farming.
Before each Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang would talk about martial arts farming in Hanzhong for a few years, and after accumulating enough grain, he would launch the Northern Expedition.
In this way, we can influence the people of Shu Han as little as possible.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang launched five Northern Expeditions in ten years, but the impact on the people of Shu was extremely small.
In contrast, Jiang Wei didn't know how to produce, and would only blindly attack, causing Shu Han to become poorer and poorer, and finally attacked by Deng Ai and broke through Chengdu.
This is because the people and scholars of Shu Han at that time could no longer stand Jiang Wei's successive northern expeditions, and when Deng Ai appeared outside Chengdu, the outcome was already doomed.
The hearts of the people and the scholars have fallen to Deng Ai, which enabled Deng Ai to achieve the achievement of destroying the country.
However, Jiang Wei can't be blamed for this, after all, Zhuge Liang was busy with government affairs and the Northern Expedition, and his teaching to Jiang Wei was not complete enough.
Liu Yu believes that in the next twelve years, Zhuge Liang will make up for this shortcoming for Jiang Wei, so that Jiang Wei can become Zhuge Liang's qualified successor in the future.
After Liu Yu cleaned up briefly, he strode out of the tent, only to find that Du Yu was already waiting for him outside the tent.
However, to Liu Yu's surprise, Du Shu was also standing behind Du Yu and nodded slightly at him.
"Brother Liu, my father and I will give you a ride, I wish you a smooth journey."
Liu Yu smiled slightly, touched Du Pre's head, which had reached the height of his shoulder, and then took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Du Pre, and said softly:
"If I can't come back this time, I'll give this letter to the prime minister."
"The prime minister will take care of you, and will never bury your and Ling Zun's talents."
"Take care!"
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he no longer had nostalgia, and strode out of the barracks and walked in the direction where Jiang Wei's army was.
Du Zhen clutched the letter in his hand tightly, and finally murmured:
"Brother Liu, come back safely."
