The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 421 Zhuge's Escape

Huang Zhong looked at Sima Yi walking in circles in the hall and shook his head repeatedly, secretly sighing in his heart that if someone gave him women's clothing, he would definitely kill them immediately, but Sima Yi happily put on the women's clothing and showed off in front of him.

"Let's go and meet Kong Ming."

Sima Yi invited.

"Zhongda, Zhongda, it's okay for you to wear this dress in front of me, but why do you have to do it in public? It will not be good for the people below to see it!" Huang Zhong hurriedly stopped them.

Sima Yi was a minister in the court and a famous person in the world. If he went out wearing women's clothes, wouldn't he be laughed at by the world? Huang Zhong was also considering Sima Yi.

Sima Yi said nonchalantly: "Old General, you should not only wear it out, but also tell the soldiers below, so that they know how you and I have been humiliated! This will arouse the anger in the hearts of the soldiers. At the same time, you should also tell Zhuge Kongming that his conspiracy will not succeed."

"Okay, I'll go with you." After hearing this, Huang Zhong also wanted to find some women's clothes to wear, but when he thought about his tall and strong figure, he would not look good in women's clothes, so he gave up in the end.

Sure enough, inside Dangyang City, after hearing that Sima Yi was humiliated by the enemy, the soldiers became very angry and clamored to teach Liu Bei's army a lesson.

"Military Advisor, the enemy is shouting outside."

Outside Dangyang City, in Liu Bei's camp, a scout rushed into the camp and reported loudly.

"Could it be that my plan has worked?" Zhuge Liang was overjoyed upon hearing this and could not wait to leave the camp. Guan Yu also hurried over after hearing the news.

The two soon saw a group of people standing outside the Dangyang moat. There were only a few hundred people, but standing in the front was a man wearing bright red women's clothing. He had a handsome face and looked particularly charming.

"Kong Ming, how about I wear this outfit?" Sima Yi opened his hands, turned around in public, and then asked loudly.

Zhuge Liang looked at the charming man in front of him with a gloomy face and anger in his eyes. How dare he do this to Sima Yi?

"Kong Ming, you have run out of tricks!" Sima Yi then shouted loudly: "The Prime Minister has probably entered Chengdu at this moment, and will soon move eastward. Kong Ming, you and Liu Bei don't have much time left."

Zhuge Liang felt even worse after hearing this.

"Sima Yi, evil cannot defeat good. The Qin thieves will never win, and the righteous people of the Han Dynasty will never let him succeed." Zhuge Liang retorted loudly.

"Only you would be so naive. The Prime Minister is benevolent and loves the people. Everyone in the world respects him. Now you have a million elite soldiers under your command. Why should you be afraid of the bandits in the world?" Sima Yi said disdainfully.

He didn't know where Zhuge Liang got his confidence from. Was his vision so bad? Could he not see the overall situation of the world? Once the Cavalry Army seized the land of Bashu, it would only be a matter of time before Liu Bei or Cao Cao would fail.

"Good news, good news. The Prime Minister has captured Yizhou, and Liu Zhang has left the city to surrender."

"The Prime Minister seized Yizhou, and Liu Zhang left the city to surrender."

Cavalrymen came galloping over, cheering loudly, and the entire battlefield fell silent.

"General, military advisor, and prime minister, seize Yizhou, and Liu Zhang will surrender."

The scouts rode straight to Huang Zhong and Sima Yi, delivering the good news.

"Sure?"

"Haha! The world can be settled."

Huang Zhong and Sima Yi both laughed out loud, with smug looks on their faces.

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"How unfair the sky is!"

Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang both had looks of despair on their faces. For Guan Yu and Sima Yi, this was a bolt from the blue. Qin Shou had actually entered Chengdu. Liu Zhang had surrendered. In another month at most, Yizhou would belong to Qin Shou. Then in another month, Qin Shou would lead his army eastward.

In other words, Liu Bei only had two months before he would be attacked from both sides by Qin Shou. "Military Advisor, what should we do now?" Guan Yu asked hurriedly.

"Go back, meet the lord, and prepare to withdraw from Nanjun."

Zhuge Liang quickly calmed down. Fortunately, there were still two months of preparation time, and Liu Bei still had the strength to fight. If he did not prepare in advance, once Qin Shou's army arrived, Liu Bei would be dead.

Seeing the other party's nervous look, Guan Yu knew that something was wrong, so he quickly led his army to retreat towards Nanjun, and at the same time sent someone to invite Liu Bei to cross the river.

"Military Advisor, Liu Zhang has surrendered to the Qin thieves. What should we do?"

Liu Bei had been restless these days. When he heard that Zhuge Liang had returned, he couldn't wait to greet him and asked anxiously.

I just had a few days of good life and then Qin Shou called me. What should I do?
"Don't worry, my lord. Although it is a bit dangerous, it is not unsolvable." Zhuge Liang comforted.

"Okay, okay." After hearing this, Liu Bei felt relieved.

He still believed in Zhuge Liang. After all, everything that happened before his eyes was because of Zhuge Liang. He also believed that Zhuge Liang could definitely solve the current crisis.

"Once Qin Shou leaves Shu, he will definitely move eastward from Zigui. Although Nanjun is good, it is no longer safe. Liang's intention is to give up Nanjun, face Qin Shou across the river, and then join forces with Cao Cao to deal with Qin Shou together."

Zhuge Liang decided to give up Nanjun.

"My lord, you can prepare money and send people to Nanzhong to persuade the Barbarian King Meng Huo to lead his army to invade Yizhou. This will definitely divide Yizhou's troops and even delay the enemy's eastward advance."

"Send another group to Xiliang to persuade the Qiang people to attack Sanfu and force Qin Shou to withdraw his troops."

"If possible, send more people to the north to ask the Xianbei and other foreign tribes to take action, so that Qin Shou will be surrounded by enemies on all sides."

Zhuge Liang's eyes were filled with wisdom, and he calculated all of this very clearly.

Liu Bei nodded repeatedly and said quickly, "Do everything according to the military advisor's instructions."

His ability in marching and fighting could not be compared with Zhuge Liang's at all. But after hearing the other party's strategy, he agreed without hesitation.

"I will go see Cao Cao in person." Zhuge Liang heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I believe Cao Cao will make the right choice."

Liu Bei nodded.

The very next day, Liu Bei arranged for the army to evacuate Nanjun, but Zhuge Liang, under the protection of Zhao Yun, went straight to Jiangdong.

At this moment, the news that Qin Shou had captured Yizhou spread throughout the world in an instant, shocking the world.

Everyone knows that if nothing unexpected happens, it is only a matter of time before the Cavalry Army unifies the world.

In a restaurant in Moling City, two young men were drinking together, one of them was handsome and the other had blue eyes and an extraordinary bearing.

These two people were Zhou Yu and Sun Quan.

"Gongjin, this Moling City has become much more prosperous. Xun Yu is really a talented person."

Sun Quan sighed.

"Cao Cao's life is not easy either!"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said.
