On the road from Yongcheng to Chencang, Liu Yu galloped wildly.

No matter how Zhuge Liang died, it was irretrievable, and all Liu Yu could do was to take care of the present first and save Wei Yan.

Liu Yu remembered that Wei Yan was furious when he learned that Zhuge Liang had died and that Yang Yi had taken over the military power of the Shu army.

completely ignored the military order that broke him, and directly led the army to take a shortcut and ran to the front of the Shu Han army.

Then a fire burned down the plank road of the Baochuan Road, blocking the back road of the 100,000 troops of the Shu army.

Wei Yan's idea is very simple, after Zhuge Liang dies, the position of the first person in the army should be him, not Yang Yi.

Now letting himself accept Yang Yi's command is simply a fool's dream, he wants to seize the command of the Shu army.

The Northern Expedition was the last wish of the first emperor, and it could not be ruined because of one person.

Although Zhuge Liang is dead, he still has himself in the army, and he Wei Yan wants to take Zhuge Liang's place and continue the Northern Expedition.

Now that the situation of the Northern Expedition is very good, how can it just return in vain.

He burned the plank road, hoping to cut off the back road for the Shu army to return, so that these Shu troops could continue to follow his northern expedition to the Central Plains.

It's a pity that Wei Yan couldn't fight Yang Yi after all, and was finally wiped out by the three clans.

The purpose of Liu Yu's trip was to prevent Wei Yan from withdrawing his troops in advance, hoping that Wei Yan could put the army first, sit on the back road of the Shu army, and help the Shu army successfully withdraw to Shuzhong.

As long as he can return to Shuzhong, then with Wei Yan's qualifications, he will naturally go further, even if he can really control the military power of Shu Han in the future, it is unknown.

Since the rainstorm stopped yesterday, Liu Yu sent several scouts to inform Jiang Wei of the withdrawal of the army and the news of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's death, Liu Yu took Chen Cangcheng non-stop, hoping to see Wei Yan on Wei Yan's way back.

After most of the day's travel, Liu Yu finally arrived at Chencang City the next morning.

However, it is a pity that Wei Yan has received the news of Zhuge Liang's death at this time, and has withdrawn to the camp in Beiyuan, and is not under Chen Cangcheng at all.

Helpless, Liu Yu could only find a hidden place and rest for a while.

After all, after a night of galloping, both people and war horses are exhausted and can't rush at all.

Liu Yu could only pray that Wei Yan would not be in a hurry, as long as Wei Yan did not burn the plank road, everything still had a chance to be saved.

...

Gojohara Battalion.

When Wei Yan arrived here, the camp in Wuzhangyuan was already empty.

The 100,000 troops of the Shu army did not wait for Wei Yan to return, nor did they wait for Jiang Wei, so they all withdrew overnight, leaving no baggage at all.

"General, the army has retreated, and Yang Changshi ordered us to break off with Jiang Wei."

Ma Dai has been following Wei Yan for the past few days.

Now back in Wuzhangyuan, Ma Dai had to remind Wei Yangyi of his military order.

"In my opinion, let's not camp here tonight to consolidate our defenses, so as not to attack Sima Yi."

"After the break? What is Yang Yi? It's just a house slave, what qualifications do you have to order so-and-so? ”

Wei Yan looked disdainful and said resentfully:

"Now that the prime minister has passed away, I should replace the prime minister and continue the Northern Expedition."

"For the sake of today's plan, we should go south as soon as possible, take over the military power before the army returns to Hanzhong, and then continue the northern expedition to Guanzhong."

At this moment, Wei Yan has a feeling of giving up on me.

After all, today's Shu Han, he is the oldest in qualifications, has the greatest credit, and is also the person who has followed the emperor for the longest time.

Since Zhuge Liang is dead, it is natural that the military power should be put in his hands.

But Wei Yan didn't know that when Zhuge Liang died, the most important thing was no longer the Northern Expedition, but the struggle for power and profit.

The next thing that the entire Shu Han was going to carry out was a political struggle, not a military struggle.

It's a pity that Wei Yanqing is arrogant, so he naturally doesn't care about any political struggles, he only knows that he is now the top spot in the army, and he should take over the military power, continue the Northern Expedition, and fulfill the last wish of the emperor.

When Ma Dai saw that Wei Yan was going to pull out the camp and return south, he couldn't help but open his mouth, wanting to persuade Wei Yan.

However, in the end, thinking of Yang Yi's small energy, Ma Dai finally didn't say a word, and followed Wei Yan to start marching towards the south.

Wei Yan knew that the matter was urgent, and he must not let the army withdraw to Hanzhong, otherwise it would be difficult to bring it out again.

So, Wei Yan traveled lightly, leaving 7,000 people to stick to the camp.

He personally led 3,000 elites and marched rapidly towards the Bao slope, vowing to rush ahead of Yang Yi and cross the plank road.

Ma Dai just followed behind Wei Yan, looking like he was advancing and retreating together, which made Wei Yan very moved.

...

Wei Ying's side.

After a day of inquiry, Sima Yi finally got the exact news of the Shu army.

Zhuge Liang is really dead.

Le Qi took hundreds of scouts to explore around, and finally found out that the Shu army camp was full of vegetarians.

From the mouths of the people nearby, I learned that the Shu army suddenly cried loudly last night, and I vaguely heard that these Shu soldiers seemed to be crying because it was Prime Minister Zhuge who was crying.

When Le Qi heard the news, he then inquired in many ways, and found out that Shu Han had made another large-scale movement last night, as if a large army had crossed Weishui and headed south.

Le Qi concluded that this must be the scene of the withdrawal of the Shu Han army.

In order to confirm whether the guess was true, Le Qi even led the scouts into the vicinity of the Beiyuan camp, but did not see the Shu army come out to drive away.

At this point, Le Qi finally confirmed that Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, was really a funeral.

When Sima Yi learned the news, he was overjoyed, and immediately set out to raise Cao Wei's 60,000 troops to pursue the Shu army, vowing to avenge the revenge of an arrow and be ashamed of himself.

But at this time, Xin Bi stood up to stop Sima Yi and let Sima Yi calm down.

"Dadudu, if Zhuge Liang cheats to death, what should I do?"

Sima Yi froze slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his mind was spinning wildly, is it Zhuge Liang's trick again?

The generals in the tent all looked at Sima Yi nervously, whether they were chasing or guarding, just waiting for Sima Yi's order.

Even though Sima Yi was defeated before, the generals still maintained absolute trust in Sima Yi.

After a while, Sima Yi took a deep breath in combination with various situations, and then shouted:

"Even if it's Zhuge Liang's trick, I'm not afraid of him."

"If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it, and the generals will obey the order!!"

"The last general (lowly) is here!"

"Zhang Hu, I order you to lead 3,000 cavalry, cooperate with Guo Huai and Sun Li, and take back the Beiyuan camp."

"The last general commands!"

"Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Wei, Le Qi, Sun Li, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, follow me to pursue the Shu army!"

"Yes!"

Sima Yi showed his restrained edge vividly at this moment.

When the interruption continues, but it is chaotic, Sima Yi's control of the timing, there is no one in the world who is unsurpassed.

is decisive, Sima Yi never lacks the courage to make a desperate bet, but he hides too deeply, and it is difficult for others to see it.

The morale of the generals was also raised by Sima Yi's determination at this time.

All of them were radiant and bright-eyed.

Xin Bi on the side also knew that it was useless to say more, so he could only sigh lightly, bow slightly towards Sima Yi, and say:

"I hope that the Governor of the Metropolitan will be victorious."

Sima Yi bowed in return, then turned around abruptly and led the generals to stride out of the tent.

Between walking, the tiger and the tiger are in the wind, the dragon walks and the tiger walks, and the spirit is full.

And this year, Sima Yi was fifty-seven years old.

...

Hurry, hurry, hurry!!

Liu Yu waved his horsewhip frantically, wishing that the war horse could raise two more pairs of wings and take him fly.

Since Chen Cangcheng returned, Liu Yu has been running around for a long time, without stopping for a moment in between, just to intercept Wei Yan.

The war horse under him was already at the end of the crossbow, and the white foam in his mouth kept spitting out.

Fortunately, the Wuzhangyuan camp was already close at hand, and seeing the Shu army flag fluttering above the camp made Liu Yu's heart slowly let go.

There is a flag of the Shu army, which means that there is still a Shu army stationed in the camp, and Wei Yan is also very likely to follow his army and rest in the camp.

When Liu Yu approached the camp, he was told that Wei Yan had set off for more than an hour.

Fortunately, Liu Yu was Wei Yan's subordinate general before, and he was very familiar with Wei Yan's subordinates, so he quickly changed to a war horse, and then took a hundred or so personal guards, and rushed towards the direction of Wei Yan's advance.

I just hope it's still in time!
