Chapter 600 Man Proposes, God Disposes!

"No matter how clever this empty city strategy is, in the final analysis it only reduces the losses of the Shu army, but in this way there is no way to continue the Northern Expedition."

"Fuck, damn Ma Su! A sinner of Shu! Maybe it's because of this man that he directly changed the history of the Three Kingdoms!"

"This is the best opportunity before Shu. I failed to seize it. Cao Wei and Sima Yi came back again."

Thousands of spectators beat their chests and stamped their feet, feeling extremely regretful.

But the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition was still not over. Although Zhuge Liang took the blame for the defeat in this battle, demoted himself to the third level, and was dismissed from the post of Prime Minister, his actual power was not reduced by half. After returning to Hanzhong, he strengthened his troops and gathered food and grass. , prepare for another Northern Expedition!

…

"Zhuge Liang actually has a clear heart. When he was alive, Shu still had a chance. Once he died of illness, everything might really be lost."

"Second departure from Qishan!!"

"Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition!"

The second Northern Expedition was not too long apart from the first Northern Expedition. In the same year, Zhuge Liang led his army again, led his army to attack Qishan, and defeated Cao Zhen, the general of Cao Army. Unfortunately, this battle ended in failure again!

Zhuge Liang took advantage of Lu Xun's defeat of Cao Xiu at Shiting, left Sanguan, surrounded Chencang, and attacked for more than 20 days without breaking through. Then Wei's reinforcements arrived, and because the army had no food, he had no choice but to retreat to Hanzhong.

But this is still not the end!

The following year, 229 AD, Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, and Zhuge Liang left Qishan three times.

He attacked Wudu and Yinping, defeated Wei's reinforcements, occupied these two counties, left troops to defend them, and led his troops back to the army.

The following year, when the Wei army attacked Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang strengthened the defense and deployed additional reinforcements. Due to continuous heavy rains, roads such as Ziwu Valley and Xie Valley were blocked, and the Shu army retreated.

Three times in a row, the Shu army led by Zhuge Liang all ended in failure. Various problems arose during the process, making the audience more and more impatient. However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and a detail can lead to success or failure.

It can only be said that in addition to employing people, Zhuge Liang really tried his best. Qishan fought wits, and even planned to rob Cao Zhen, opened the passage to Qishan, went out of Qishan, and angered Cao Zhen to death with letters!

"Cao Zhen is dead!"

"The Shu army has the best chance!"

"Northern Expedition to the Central Plains!!"

"Only Sima Yi!"

"Compared to Zhou Yu, Sima Yi can truly be regarded as Zhuge Liang's opponent."

…

In the eighth year of the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, in 230 AD, Zhuge Liang went out to Qishan Mountain and defeated the Wei army.

The two sides of Shu and Wei set up a battlefield on the banks of the Weishui River and set up battle formations. The fighting Wei soldiers were defeated one after another. Sima Yi led his army to flee back to the south bank. It was clear that his defeat was obvious. If the battle continues like this, Zhuge Liang might really be able to lead his army in the northern expedition to the Central Plains. Revive the Han Dynasty!

The more critical moments like this, the more nervous the audience becomes.

Sima Yi knew that the Shu army was coming from far away and did not have much rations, so he held on to the danger and refused to fight. But at this critical moment...

Liu Chan is sick! !

And it is the biggest and most serious disease in history that makes the audience's eyes black and they want to strangle him to death! !

Liu Chan listened to the rumors that Zhuge Liang wanted to become emperor sooner or later, and issued an order to withdraw his troops...

"Damn it, Liu Chan! You are committing a crime!"

"Who can kill this Adou?"

"My heart is cold. I am not only sad for Zhuge Liang, but also sad for the Kingdom of Shu. Although Liu Bei has many problems, he is still able to make do as a monarch. This Liu Chan is simply a big beast. Even if a person like this becomes an emperor, There are three Zhuge Liangs, and they probably won’t be able to help him.”

"I finally know how Shu was destroyed. With Adou as emperor, can it survive?"

"It can only be said that the problems with the hereditary system are too great. Even a wise monarch may still appoint a loser as the prince."

"Go to hell! Liu Chan!"

"To be honest, Liu Chan can only be regarded as the trigger for the failure of the Four Expeditions from Qishan. The fundamental reason is that the Shu army is running out of food and grass. Sima Yi is too smart."

The battle line is simply too long.

In ancient wars, food and grass were the top priority. Such large-scale, long-distance wars usually have food and grass problems.

Cao Wei was on the defensive and already had an advantageous location.

When they left Qishan Mountain three times before, it rained continuously and the roads such as Ziwu Valley and Xie Valley were blocked, so the Shu army was forced to retreat.

Occupying time.

And this person and, needless to say, no matter how many objective reasons there are, Liu Chan’s criminal behavior cannot be cleansed!

Throughout the story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are too many "criminal" behaviors, such as Guan Yu letting Cao Cao run away, Ma Di losing his street pavilion, etc., but there has never been a person who has made the audience so disgusted. This person is Adou.

But this guy is still the Lord of Shu!

Of course, this is Liu Chan after being "demonized" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In fact, looking at Liu Chan's life, his concealment skills are definitely beyond the reach of his father Liu Bei. He can be called a wise, foolish, frugal and caring politician. Even if Zhuge Liang served as emperor for 29 years after his death, it would be impossible to do it without considerable wisdom and ability.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang, who is the only one who can be regarded as the protagonist, is highlighted and turned into a "scourge of Shu". There is no need to delve into the story of the romance. Just from the plot shown in the TV series, so many viewers want to pinch it. It’s not unreasonable to kill Liu Chan...

"It feels dangerous..."

"Yes, Zhuge Liang probably won't be able to defeat him, although Zhuge Liang hasn't given up yet."

"Once it was strong, then it was weak, and three times it was exhausted. Zhuge Liang has missed the best opportunity..."

"Cao Wei originally had the right time and place, and after Sima Yi returned to the throne, his victory was even more obvious. Zhuge Liang's victory in several wars was purely a result of changing his destiny against nature and winning by force."

"Lament! Lament!"

Countless viewers laughed bitterly.

In 231 AD, Zhuge Liang led his army five times out of Qishan to start the Northern Expedition, but unfortunately it still ended in failure.

…

Three years later.

The eleventh year of Jianxing.

This year, Zhuge Liang was already very old and his temples were gray. Zhuge Liang once again reported to the Lord of Shu that he would leave Qishan six times!

Before the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang went to Zhaolie Temple to pay homage to his late lord Liu Bei. I vowed to go out to Qishan again this time, work hard and succeed in one fell swoop.

Anyone can see that this will be Zhuge Liang's final Northern Expedition, which will use up all his will.

I am afraid……

"Zhuge Liang will die in this Northern Expedition..."

"According to the rhythm of the plot, it should be like this. Even if you don't die in this Northern Expedition, if this Northern Expedition fails, you will probably die not far away when you come back."

"I hope this time it will be a good result for the Prime Minister... Hey."

Countless viewers sighed.

But in fact, they were vaguely mentally prepared for the failure of the Six Out of Qishan. After all, the truth of history is irreversible.

Both Wei Yan and Jiang Wei are useful talents. Now the only hope of thousands of viewers is that no one will fall ill again in this Northern Expedition and hold Zhuge Liang back. Even if they fail, they will not be defeated. Pity.

But as soon as the battle started, Sima Yi showed the wisdom of Zhuge Liang's lifelong enemy.

Zhuge Liang originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Beiyuan and lure Sima Yi to lead his troops to rescue him. On the other side, the Shu army secretly attacked Weibin, rode a bamboo raft down the river, set fire to the pontoon bridge built by Sima, attacked its rear, and then led an army to seize it. Sima's front camp.

It's a pity that Sima Yi saw through them one by one!

Before Sima Yi appeared, it could be said that no one in the entire Three Kingdoms world could match Zhuge Liang in terms of intelligence and scheming, but the appearance of Sima Yi was a heavy blow to Shu!

Sima Yi followed his plan and set up an ambush to kill more than 10,000 Shu troops. Zhuge Liang had to sigh: "Sima Yi is very cunning and has fortified everything. It is really not easy to defeat him..."

"It seems that our army alone may not be able to win!"

Even Zhuge Liang said such words. It is conceivable that the Shu army is now alone and has no choice but to ask Wu for help to recreate the Battle of Chibi with Liu Sunlian.

After Sun Quan thought about it, he also understood that Cao Wei was now his biggest enemy, so he also launched an army to attack Wei!

This battle should be Zhuge Liang's final will!

Sima Yi gained the upper hand in the battle of Beiyuan, and Zhuge Liang, who was regarded as a god by thousands of spectators, was not to be outdone. He successively implemented tricks and defeated the Wei army, causing the Wei army to once again adopt the strategy it had used many times before against the enemy - shrinking! !

You know, it is very inconvenient for the Shu army to come all the way to provide food and grass. As long as the Wei army is strong enough, they can wait until the day when the Shu army retreats!

But who is Zhuge Liang? Even in this desperate situation, he still built wooden oxen and flowing horses to transport grain and grass!

"Holy crap! The wooden cow and the flowing horse were actually created by Zhuge Liang?"

"I've seen that in a museum before."

"There are also them in books, but they are all used as ancient tools. They don't say who invented them."

"I'll go! An idea that transcends the times..."

"As expected of Zhuge Liang!!"

…

Although thousands of spectators marveled at Zhuge Liang's creativity, the battle situation was still tense.

Sima Yi was shocked when he learned about this thing, but while snatching it, he kept falling into the Shu army's trap. In the end of the confrontation, he returned to the only strategy - turtle!

Zhuge Liang was even prepared for a protracted war and worked with local residents to farm to supplement the army's food supply.

"This is a battle of wits and courage!"

"Although Sima Yi is slightly inferior to Zhuge Liang, the Wei army occupies a favorable location. He knows that as long as he does not fall ill, when the mountains are closed by heavy snow in winter, the Shu army will retreat without a fight."

"Yes, Sima Yi's overall view is very clear."

"Zhuge Liang knows this and wants to win."

"How to gamble?"

There are constant discussions on the Internet, and the emotions contained in them are all worries about these six outings of Qishan.

Zhuge Liang was also deeply worried about this, and even missed the ambitions of his former master Liu Bei. He was filled with emotion. Suddenly, he came up with the plan of Shangguhuo attack, hoping to eliminate Sima Yi in one fell swoop, so as to attack Chang'an and advance into the Central Plains.

This plan is probably the work of Zhuge Liang who came out of Qishan six times...

The last resort! !

…

In the blink of an eye, 75 episodes have been broadcast, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has finally reached its later stage. Based on the 85 episodes of the entire series, there are only 10 episodes left. The more this happens, the more reluctant the audience is to leave.

Although the broadcast time is not very long, the audience follows it day by day, discusses episode by episode, and coupled with the brilliance and depth of Xiazhou's history, it always feels like a long time has passed.

This episode 76 should be the most climactic episode!

Zhuge Liang's final fire attack plan, the confrontation between the Shu army and the Wei army, the peak showdown between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi!

Even before it has been officially broadcast, the attention of this plot has reached its peak, and more importantly, it will not be spoiled!

The reason is very simple. The statement that Zhuge Liang left Qishan six times is not true, it is just a legend. In history, Zhuge Liang had a total of five Northern Expeditions, of which only two sent troops out of Qishan, and the other one was a defensive battle.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi can be said to be lifelong enemies. They faced off several times. However, in real history, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi only had two and a half confrontations in real history. From the historian's point of view, Sima Yi spent the rest of the time fighting each other. Busy with other matters.

But I have to say that the final battle between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be called art!

…

"Come on, Prime Minister!"

"This battle is so crucial!"

"Zhuge Liang's last resort..."

Xiazhou time, as soon as the prime time came, every household turned on the CCTV, looking at the screen with anticipation and nervousness. In the subsequent ratings summary, this episode also had so many broadcasts of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Oh my god, the episode with the highest ratings, followed by the episodes in which Zhuge Liang was angry with Zhou Yu.

All over Kyushu, the TVs in countless households are all on for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

On the other side of the battle, Soochow was defeated, and Sima Yi had no worries at all.

It can be said that the peak battle between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi affects the situation of the entire world!

With so many viewers nervous, the plot begins!

Zhuge Liang saw that Sima Yi was a coward and refused to fight, so he dispersed and built camps. He also secretly ordered Ma Dai to ambush elite soldiers in the "Shangfang Valley", build makeshift shacks, and prepare firewood and other fire starters to wait for Sima Yi!

At the same time, Wei Yan was ordered to attack the stronghold and lured Sima Yi into fighting. In this battle, Wei Yan could only be defeated and led the Wei army to the valley.

If that's the only way, with Sima Yi's clever plan, he will definitely not fall into the trap. After all, there is no cover up. But isn't Zhuge Liang an extraordinary person?

Zhuge Liang once again ordered his men to put wooden cows and stray horses on the mountain road and walk them frequently to create an illusion!

All the viewers who watched the series of arrangements were mesmerized and could only admire the God of Zhuge Liang.

When Sima Yi saw this, he fell into the trap and thought that Shangfang Valley was where the Shu army stored grain. So he pretended to attack Qishan, but actually went straight to Shangfang Valley! !

…

"Fell into a trap!!"

"Hahahaha! Old thief Sima, you must have fallen into the trap! You are still a bit immature in front of the Prime Minister!"

"Not even God can save old thief Sima this time, hahahaha!"

"Zhuge Liang is going to win!"

"Are we really going to win?"

"This is no longer available?"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Sima Yi had really fallen into the trap, countless people were cheering and their hearts were beating fast!

In fact, Lin Qiu had hinted at the several illnesses of the Shu army before, such as Ma Di's willfulness, but this time, Sima Yi actually fell into the trap, and Zhuge Liang, who was thoughtful, went to cut off Sima Yi's Way back.

It can be said that as long as Sima Yi and the main force of the Wei army are annihilated, they advance directly to Chang'an and advance into the Central Plains, the Shu army will no longer be able to stop them! !

Countless spectators clenched their fists, watching the pinnacle of the battle, and at the same time cheering for Zhuge Liang, singing the song of victory!

Sima Yi mobilized all the troops in the village to attack Shangfang Valley unexpectedly, but as soon as he entered the valley, Sima Yi knew it was over!

At the same time, Zhuge Liang saw that the plan was completed, and ordered the Shu army ambushing around to shoot rockets. The rockets entered the valley, and fireworks were everywhere, and the fire was raging!

In the fire, Sima Yi and thousands of Wei troops fled in all directions, but the fire was fierce and there was nowhere to go. It was a truly desperate situation!

Even a figure like Sima Yi could not help but feel despair at this time, thinking that his life was not long.

One wrong move and you lose the whole game!

Countless people outside the screen were waving their arms and cheering. Even if Shu did not win the final victory in the Three Kingdoms period, it was worth it to see Zhuge Liang trap and kill Sima Yi!

But at this moment...

A loud thunder exploded in the sky.

Rumble——

…

This explosion caused the audience to suddenly fall from the excitement to freezing point, and their whole bodies were cold.

There was a thunderbolt, and in the next moment, huge raindrops fell from the sky, and then...

It's pouring rain!

sluggish.

I don’t know how many people in the audience across Kyushu were stunned at this moment!

Looking at the screen again, heavy rain fell from the sky, extinguishing the raging fire in the valley above, and also extinguishing all the Shu troops. The last hope in everyone's hearts!

"What..."

"It rained suddenly?!"

"If you use fire in your life, you will eventually lose it in the rain."

"I can't accept it..."

"Is it difficult to disobey God's will? God once lent Kong Ming an east wind, but now he wants to return a heavy rain..."

"Oh my god! What are you doing!"

At this moment, there is no plot setting where no one scolds the old thief, but everyone is greeting the sky. One can imagine how deep the sense of immersion "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" gives the audience!

In the heavy rain, Sima Yi survived the death situation. While laughing, Zhuge Liang had tears in his eyes and stood silently in the heavy rain. No one knew what Zhuge Liang was thinking at this time...

But seeing this scene, countless people couldn't help but shed tears.

Zhuge Liang, the most exciting character in the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the audience witnessed his life and the decisive will of Liu Qishan, but in the end...

Everyone thought of many consequences, including Liu Chan's illness again, the overwhelming defeat, being defeated by Sima Yi, and all the consequences. But the only thing they didn't expect was that it turned out to be a heavy rain that was irresistible. With these six steps out of Qishan, we have the last hope of marching into the Central Plains!

The old thief is still the same as before, and all storylines are difficult for the audience to predict.

But this result is really hard for everyone to accept!

Seeing Sima Yi escape from the valley entrance, both Zhuge Liang and thousands of spectators knew that this battle...

Defeated.

And it is the last chance that cannot be made up for!

Seeing this situation, Zhuge Liang could only shed tears, looked up at the sky and sighed, and said slowly:

“It’s up to people to plan things, but it’s up to Heaven to make things happen.”

…

There is an old saying in Xiazhou: do your best and obey fate.

The audience has never understood this sentence so well. Obviously everything is perfect, but God's will cannot be violated!

The right time, the right place, the right people, and the right time are the top priorities.
