Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

The idea that Zhuge Liang was not dead took root in Chen Yang's mind. They really couldn't even find the leftovers of Zhuge Liang's clothes.

Even if it was eaten by a beast, the beast would not have such a good appetite to eat all the clothes, even if it was bitten, there would still be traces.

Looking at the disgustingly rotten corpse in front of him, Chen Yang fell into deep thought.

"General, I think there is a high possibility that Kong Ming is not dead." Zhuge Jin was also very firm in his opinion.

"That's not right! That day Zhuge Liang took the initiative to bump into Miss Huang's sword point. We could see clearly that the place where the sword hit was the heart." Wei Yan shook his head and said.

"I can guarantee that Yueying has no problems, then the problem will only be with Zhuge Liang."

Chen Yang pondered for a while, and said affirmatively: "Master Wen, do you think Zhuge Liang is a person who is not afraid of death? Do you think he really has the courage to slam into Yueying's sword on his own initiative?"

Wei Yan didn't know Zhuge Liang well, so he couldn't be sure if he was afraid of death, so he scratched his head for a while and didn't know how to respond.

"I think there is something wrong with that sword."

Zhuge Jin knew her own brothers better than Chen Yang and the others, and continued: "Kong Ming will take the initiative to hit the tip of the sword, maybe he can ensure that the place where he was stabbed is not the heart and will not be fatal, and then create a fake death signs to fool us all."

Chen Yang nodded and said: "Ziyu is right, the problem must be here, come on!"

Cao Lan ran over immediately and stood aside respectfully.

Chen Yang continued: "Search for me in this mountain forest without leaving any traces. I want to make sure whether Zhuge Liang is really dead."

Cao Lan immediately recruited a group of shadow men, together with more than 2000 soldiers, and went into the forest to search.

As for the rest of the corpses, they burned them with a fire, and they went back to the barracks.

It wasn't until late at night that Cao Lan came back, but there was no trace of Zhuge Liang's death, and there was a high probability that he was not dead.

"We found two rows of footprints in the mountain, as well as blood left on the ground."

Cao Lan continued: "Based on the footprints, I judge that it is a man and a woman. The woman's marks are very small and light. The man almost crawled along the way in the first part of the journey. The blood dripped on the crawling marks, and he could stand up in the latter part. , the footprints are chaotic, and it seems to be in a mess, it should be a seriously injured person."

Chen Yang said: "That is to say, Zhuge Liang is probably still alive, and was dug out by a woman and taken away."

Cao Lan nodded and said, "According to the evidence we found, this is exactly the case, but the subordinates don't know the specifics."

"Okay, you go down and rest first."

Chen Yang looked at Cao Lan's back, thinking that Zhuge Liang was also good at calculating.

He deliberately let Huang Yueying stab her chest with a sword, and deliberately avoided the vitals, deceiving everyone by feigning death.

Chen Yang also admired him, he dared to use this method to feign death, even if he had less courage, because the heart would be pierced if he was not careful.

As for the traces of the woman, Xiaoqiu is the only one who will come to rescue Zhuge Liang around Liu Bei, or even Sima Hui.

This woman is still a potential threat to them.

"General!"

Huang Yueying ran in suddenly, and asked tremblingly, "Is Zhuge Liang still alive?"

The news that Zhuge Liang was not dead spread throughout the army at this time, and everyone knew about it. It even sounded a little weird and terrifying.

Huang Yueying asked nervously: "I didn't expect this to happen either. I really wanted to kill him for revenge, but I really don't understand why he didn't die."

Chen Yang didn't mean to blame her and said: "Of course I believe you, I can only say that Zhuge Liang is too cunning."

With his affirmation, Huang Yueying felt relieved, and continued: "I really won't miss him anymore. Does the general still remember my promise? Whether Zhuge Liang is dead or not, I will keep it."

She lowered her head slightly, a little shy, not daring to look at Chen Yang again.

Chen Yang didn't quite remember what that promise was, but seeing her like this, it wasn't hard to guess what it might be.

"You go back to rest first, I will send you back to Xiangyang early tomorrow morning."

Chen Yang didn't continue this topic, and said again: "Tomorrow I will attack Yizhou, if I stay in the barracks, I may not have much time to take care of you."

Huang Yueying nodded slightly.

the next morning.

The first thing Chen Yang did after getting up was to gather the whole army and march westward along the Yangtze River.

When he arrived in Jianping, Chen Yang stayed here for a while, went to see the red gnats, and then sent them back to Lujiang.

Next, Chen Yang and Sun Quan split into two groups. He attacked from the direction of Badong, and Sun Quan attacked from Fucheng.

A few days later, the soldiers and horses of both sides fought outside the city of Jiangzhou, which had already penetrated into the interior of the Kingdom of Shu. The defenders of the Kingdom of Shu could not resist their attack at all.

At the same time, Zitong, Langzhong and other places were all lost, and the army led by Huang Zhong and Guan Yu's father and son was so powerful that Zhou Cang and others had to retreat to Fushui Pass.

Liu Feng had just quelled the domestic turmoil in Shu, and before he could go back to continue to consolidate Adou's rule, he also received news of worries abroad in Shu, so he decisively led his troops to Jiangzhou to fight Chen Yang on the battlefield.

Chen Yang was stationed outside Jiangzhou and was not in a hurry to attack the city.

Although Liu Feng and the others were exhausted, it would not be a problem for him to stick to it for a while and fight Chen Yang to death.

The trapped beast will still fight, and the beast will finally become fierce and bite people.

"General, as long as we separate some people, go south to obtain Jiangyang, and then go north from Jiangyang to join General Huang and the others, there will be only one Shu in Shu, and Shu will be alone and helpless."

Sun Quan looked at the military map in front of him and said.

"General, I can take Jiangyang first, as well as Wuyang, Hanjia and other places in the south of the Shu capital, so as to cut off their retreat in the south."

Lu Xun also suggested: "The southeast and the north are attacking the capital of Shu, and it will be easy to recover Yizhou."

"Since you are confident, let's split up. Please, Zhongmou, go to Jiangyang first."

Chen Yang didn't object. If someone wanted to help him with work, there was no reason to object.

"Of course there is no problem, General, you are polite."

Sun Quan agreed.

Another day later, when Sun Quan left Jiangzhou and went south, Chen Yang also began to make preparations. What he had to do was not to attack Jiangzhou, but to have people persuade him to surrender under the city.

They took advantage of the advantages established by the Qianzhuang in Shu, as well as the internal contradictions in Shu, to persuade the soldiers guarding the city in Jiangzhou to surrender.

Chen Yang first ordered people to shout words such as surrender and not to kill, and then ordered people to use crossbow arrows to shoot the letter of persuasion into the city.

Regardless of whether they can read or not, such a large Jiangzhou will always be seen by one or two literate people.

"Chen Yang, don't confuse people with gossip!"

Seeing that the guarding soldiers were a little tempted, Liu Feng couldn't help but went to the tower and yelled.
