Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

The person who appeared suddenly was Zhuge Liang who was rescued by Xiaoqiu and disappeared for a long time.

He knew that Liu Feng and the others would not be able to hold the capital of Shu and had to abandon the city and flee, so he waited here.

Chen Yang's soldiers and horses were all in the southeast and north, where else could Liu Feng and the others escape?The only way to avoid Chen Yang's pursuit is to go west.

At this moment, Ma Chao and others all looked at Zhuge Liang with wide eyes. How could he be alive? According to the news that came back at the beginning, didn't it say that Zhuge Liang was killed by Chen Yang?

"Prime Minister, you...are you a human or a ghost?" Liao Hua said in panic.

Zhuge Liang laughed: "Do you think, if I were a ghost, would I have the ability to show up at this time?"

It was still broad daylight, and when the sun was fierce, Zhuge Liang appeared swaggeringly like this, and there was still a shadow under the sun, not like a ghost.

In other words, Zhuge Liang is not dead!

They were all stunned. How could Zhuge Liang not be dead yet? Didn't all kinds of news spread all over the place?

It's just that the wound on Zhuge Liang's body has not fully healed, and the bandage is tied, exuding a faint smell of medicine.

All kinds of signs seemed to tell them that Zhuge Liang was really still alive, not dead.

"Prime Minister, are you really still alive?"

Fazheng asked in surprise.

"It's not easy for Chen Yang to kill me. He was lucky enough to survive until now, but he couldn't save His Majesty. Some time ago, I had to recuperate from my injuries and couldn't return to Shudu. When I learned that Jiangzhou and other places were taken by Chen Yang, I would I understand that the capital of Shu will not be able to hold on in the end, so I came here to wait for you."

Zhuge Liang continued: "With our current strength, it is impossible to restore the Kingdom of Shu, and Chen Yang will not give us this opportunity."

If Ma Chao continued to emphasize this sentence, they could refute or even disdain it, but Zhuge Liang also said the same, which basically sentenced Shu to death, and it was difficult to save it.

They all fell silent, not knowing what to say.

"Prime Minister, what shall we do now?"

Liao Hua asked.

"Go to Jin to find Sima Yi!"

Zhuge Liang said directly: "After this time, I'm going to Jin. If you can trust me, you can come with me. If you don't trust me, then feel free."

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang didn't talk too much nonsense with them, turned around and headed north.

"I trust the prime minister!"

Ma Chao originally wanted to seek refuge with Sima Yi, but now he followed Zhuge Liang without thinking.

The others all looked at each other, they had nowhere to go, and could only follow Zhuge Liang, otherwise, they didn't know where they could go, and Chen Yang would definitely hunt them down.

Ma Chao and others followed Zhuge Liang until they reached the outside of the mountains, when they bypassed Shuzhong and were about to enter Hanzhong.

"Kong Ming, where are you going in such a hurry?"

On the road ahead, a familiar figure suddenly appeared, it was Sima Hui.

"Sir, why are you here?"

Zhuge Liang said in surprise.

"Of course I'm waiting for you to show up."

Sima Hui said: "All come with me!"

Although Zhuge Liang couldn't figure out why Sima Hui did so many things, he hesitated for a moment and decided to follow Sima Hui.

The others also hesitated for a long time and looked at each other. First, Zhou Cang and Ma Chao followed Zhuge Liang, then Liu Feng followed, and so did the rest.

They went all the way to the west of Hanzhong, outside a city called Yinping, and came to a deserted village.

"Let me go!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang and others walked in, they heard a shout, and everyone looked inside suspiciously.

"Sir, what happened?"

Zhuge Liang asked first.

"It's nothing, I found a new friend, but I don't listen to discipline, I will introduce you to him later."

Sima Hui walked inward, and finally came to a room where he saw Li Yan sitting here. Seeing him coming, he got up and nodded slightly.

"Let him out!"

Sima Hui said.

Li Yan opened the door of the house, and the man named Liu Yan ran out from inside.

"You caught me, what are you going to do?"

After Liu Yan came out, he pointed at Sima Hui and shouted.

He still wanted to run away, but Li Yan immediately stopped him. In the past few days, this was not the first time he wanted to run away, and he never succeeded.

Zhuge Liang and the others looked at Liu Yan suspiciously, and then at Sima Hui, wondering why he did this.

"I'm giving you a chance to reach the pinnacle of your life. At that time, you will come to thank me instead of being angry at me like you are now."

Sima Hui smiled and said, "Do you know his name?"

Zhuge Liang and the others shook their heads, who knows what this person's name is.

"Liu Yan!" Sima Hui said slowly.

As soon as these two words were uttered, they seemed to understand why Zhuge Liang wanted to catch this person.

-

a few days later.

Yecheng, the imperial city of Jin.

"Your Majesty, it is already certain that Chen Yang broke through the capital of Shu and destroyed the Kingdom of Shu."

Yang Xiu said: "Currently we are the only enemies of Chen Yang, we have to face Chen Yang alone!"

As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi immediately fell into deep thought.

Without Liu Bei delaying Chen Yang, Sima Yi would have lost the ally of Shu.

How terrifying is Chen Yang's strength?

Yang Xiu and others besieged him in Xudu, cut off the food, and could also create a plague, and finally killed him.

No matter who encounters this kind of formidable enemy, he will feel the same as Yang Xiu now.

Sima Yi said: "Dezu, in this world, who else can restrain Chen Yang?"

Yang Xiu smiled wryly and said, "Besides us, I really can't think of anyone else, but there may be places in Jiaozhou and other places, but the distance is too far, and we have no way to contact them."

"I believe that the next step is to resist the Cao family's Northern Expedition with all our strength, and use the barbarians outside the Great Wall to resist Cao's army, and then the manufacturing technology of artillery and other weapons also needs to be improved."

"The firearm was first manufactured by Chen Yang. Their technology must be far superior to ours. If they can't improve, we will have no advantage at all."

With the strength of their Jin country, it is not impossible to compete with the Cao family.

The gap between the Jin State and the Cao family may be the firearms, or the difference between Chen Yang.

"Dezu, you are right!"

Sima Yi nodded solemnly: "Just do it like this, that's right! Please contact Liu Bei's old department. Those who are alive are Chen Yang's enemies and our friends. They can be brought back and reused."

"I understand!"

After Yang Xiu finished speaking, he left the palace.

However, as soon as he returned to his residence, he saw someone in his study.

"It's you!"

Yang Xiu said in surprise.

The person who came was Xiaoqiu.

"Mr. Shui Jing asked me to contact you, maybe I can help you suppress Chen Yang."

Xiao Qiu said lightly.
