Chapter 119 The big man never died!
Zhuge Cunfu likes to plan three steps before taking one step.

It is possible that he faked his own death and plotted against Cao Wei's army.

However, Sima Yi thought about it and quickly gave up the idea.

Given the current comparison of military strength between the Cao Wei army and the Shu Han army, it would be of no use if Zhuge Liang pretended to be dead.

Cao Cao's overall national strength is stronger than that of Shu Han, and his military strength is naturally stronger than that of Shu Han as well.

Otherwise, Zhuge Liang wouldn't have to make thousands of calculations and plans every time, always trying to rely on strategies to defeat the strong with the weak.

Cao Wei can afford to lose, but Shu Han cannot.

This is the gap.

In the Battle of Shangfang Valley, Cao Wei did suffer some losses, but not much.

Why did Zhuge Liang fake his death now?
Could it be that he wanted to repeat the battle of Shangfang Valley and use fire attack against Cao Wei's army?
Sima Yi thought about the feasibility now, and felt that even if Zhuge Liang faked his death, it would not cause any damage to Cao Wei's army.

Sima Yi thought for a moment and felt that this was a godsend opportunity.

That old bastard Zhuge Liang must be dead.

Even if he didn't die, it would still be in time for Cao Wei to retreat.

Sima Yi immediately gave the order, "Even if that country bumpkin Zhuge is alive, I am not afraid. Demand the troops and stop the Shu Han army."

The others saw that Sima Yi had made the decision and didn't say anything.

After all, what Sima Yi said was not wrong.

Zhuge Liang calculated everything, but could he predict God's will?

During the battle of Shangfang Valley, didn’t the rain that came down from heaven prove that destiny was on Wei’s side?
Under the leadership of Sima Yi, the army of Cao Wei began to intercept the army of Shu Han.

At the beginning, the Shu Han army fought a few battles with the Cao Wei army, but later they simply avoided the enemy's attack.

This made Sima Yi feel suspicious, but also a little bit confirmed.

If Zhuge Liang were still alive, this would definitely be Zhuge Liang's strategy to lure troops.

But Zhuge Liang is already dead.

Sima Yi confirmed that Zhuge Liang was dead.

No matter how well the Shu Han army concealed its situation, Sima Yi deduced that Zhuge Liang's old rival had run out of energy and was now dead.

Therefore, Sima Yi pursued the Shu Han army closely and was determined to keep all of the Shu Han army here.

However, under Sima Yi's deployment of troops, Cao Wei's army finally caught up with Shu Han's army.

"Hahaha! Zhuge Cunfu, you really are dead."

Sima Yi laughed and said, "Without Zhuge Village Man, where else do you want to escape to?"

After hearing Sima Yi's words, the Shu Han army showed a trace of panic.

No matter which plan it was, it was kept secret from ordinary soldiers of Shu Han.

Be real when you are false, and be false when you are real. This is the only way to deceive the old fox Sima Yi.

Hearing Sima Yi's words, the soldiers present naturally panicked.

Sima Yi felt relieved when he saw the appearance of the Shu Han army.

Zhuge Liang's death must be kept secret from these ordinary soldiers.

If Zhuge Liang were alive, he would have come out by now.

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Soldiers of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang is dead, Shu Han is finished, you surrender now, and those who surrender will not be killed."

Sima Yi was very excited. He was about to destroy Shu Han and accomplish an eternal feat by destroying an entire country.

But at this time, Sima Yi had calmed down a little.

The achievement of destroying a country would probably arouse Cao Rui's vigilance.

After all, there is no limit to the credit for destroying a country, and it is most likely to make the ruler fear the consequences.

He had to think of a solution that would satisfy both parties without alerting Cao Rui.

Otherwise, Cao Rui might have taken him away before he died.

Sima Yi was still wondering if there was any way to have the best of both worlds, but he didn't know.

Zhuge Liang has already rehearsed everything about his future into a storyline.

No matter how Sima Yi hid, Cao Rui would still be on guard against him.

After all, no matter how the Three Kingdoms fought among themselves, it was acceptable no matter who was the winner.

But if the power fell into the hands of the Sima family, it would lead to the tragedy of the Five Barbarians Invading China.

Sima Yi was still fantasizing that this battle would keep all of Shu Han's troops here, causing heavy damage to Shu Han.

As for destroying Shu Han, let him think of a way to have the best of both worlds.

But at this moment, Zhuge Liang came out.

He gently waved his feather fan and said, "Old Sima, you are disappointed. I, Zhuge Liang, am not dead yet."

"Damn it, I fell for your fake death trick again."

Sima Yi widened his eyes, confirming that the Zhuge Liang in front of him was not an imposter.

This shouldn't be the case. Even if Zhuge Liang wasn't dead, his physical condition shouldn't be so good.

Sima Yi immediately ordered Cao Wei's army to be alert all around. Zhuge Liang had faked his death, so who knows what other conspiracy he had.

Sima Yi personally believed that there was no possibility for Shu Han to defeat Cao Wei's army now.

But who knows?
Sima Yi's vigilance was soon realized.

Zhuge Liang shouted coldly, "Old thief Sima, you escaped from Shangfang Valley last time. I want to see how you can run away today. This place will be your burial place."

"Hahaha! Zhuge village man, stop being so presumptuous!"

Sima Yi laughed loudly and said, "How can your Shu Han army be a match for my Wei Heavenly Army? Can you repeat the Shangfang Valley incident again?"

Sima Yi was very vigilant about the incident in Shangfang Valley.

So this time even though he chased the Shu Han army, he avoided terrain like Shangfang Valley.

Given the current terrain, even if Zhuge Liang set another fire, he would not be able to surround Cao Wei's army.

When Zhuge Liang heard Sima Yi's words, he was indeed calm.

After joining the Zhutian chat group, Zhuge Liang naturally understood where he stood in the battle of Shangfang Valley.

He did not succumb to fate.

It’s because he doesn’t understand geography and physics.

In terrain like Shangfang Valley, the flames evaporate into water vapor, making it very easy for a descent to occur.

But that won’t happen this time.

Zhuge Liang said calmly, "Well, Sima Yi, if this is your last words, then everything is over."

As Zhuge Liang gave an order, a thunder-like sound rang out around the Cao Wei army.

The horrific explosion directly blew away Cao Wei’s soldiers and horses.

That’s right, this time Zhuge Liang directly got the explosives and blew up the Cao Wei army.

The huge power of the explosion killed countless Cao Wei soldiers in an instant.

Looking at this scene, Zhuge Liang showed no mercy, as a merciful person cannot command an army.

Since we are standing on the opposite side of Shu Han and since we are the enemy, I can only apologize.

After the horrific explosion, most of Cao Wei's soldiers were frightened silly.

"What is this? Is this the power of gods and demons?"

"Does Shu Han have the power of gods and demons? Does that mean Shu Han is the orthodox destiny?"

The horrific explosion directly destroyed the morale of Cao Wei's soldiers, and they even lost the courage to fight against the Shu Han army.

Isn’t this the power of gods and demons?
So what is the power of gods and demons?
The impact of hot weapons on cold weapons is severe.

Just like in modern times, during the Opium War, England’s impact on the Qing Dynasty.

The army of Cao Wei simply did not have the courage to fight against the army of Shu Han.

Moreover, after this wave of explosions, there were broken pieces and corpses everywhere, and they had no ability to fight against Shu Han.

Sima Yi took a breath, and his eyes were dull for a moment.

He kept swallowing, suppressing his nervousness and fear.

At this moment his body was also shaking. It was obvious that the appearance of the explosives had a great impact on him.

He touched his face, which was covered with blood and body parts.

When he finally realized what was happening, he couldn't help but cry out, "Zhao'er, Shi'er!"

Indeed, Sima Yi survived the explosion.

However, his two sons, Sima Zhao and Sima Shi, were killed directly in the explosion.

Sima Zhao watched with his own eyes as Sima Zhao and Sima Shi were reduced to ashes, and his heart was filled with hatred at this time.

He stared at Zhuge Liang viciously and cursed, "Zhuge villager, I want you dead."

Sima Zhao and Sima Shi were the next generation of leaders of the Sima family who were cultivated by Sima Yi with great effort.

Now that he cannot achieve his goal of controlling the Cao Wei regime, he has to rely on Sima Zhao and Sima Shi.

Who would have thought that these two sons, who he had high hopes for, would be killed in the explosion. He saw them being blown to death in front of him with his own eyes.

How could Sima Yi not feel hatred when an old man sends a young man away?

When Zhuge Liang saw Sima Zhao and Sima Shi's bodies being blown to pieces, he felt a sense of relief rising from the depths of his soul.

He said mockingly, "Dead, good death."

This old beast Sima Yi and the group of little beasts he raised have brought such a disaster to the Chinese civilization.

If these two little bastards had not been killed by the explosion, Zhuge Liang would have cut them into pieces. Now that they were killed, it was too easy for them.

Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi and said coldly, "Old bastard, now that these two little bastards are dead, it will be your turn soon. Just follow them on their way."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, not to mention Sima Yi, even the people of Shu Han looked at each other in bewilderment.

What on earth did Sima Yi do to make the prime minister, who was usually calm and composed, actually swear at him?

When Sima Yi heard what Zhuge Liang said, his defense was immediately broken.

He roared grimly, "Zhuge Liang, I, Sima Yi, swear to fight you to the death."

After Sima Yi said this, he looked at Zhuge Liang fiercely, and then ordered the Cao Wei army to retreat quickly without any hesitation.

Now that Shu Han has control of the weapon, if it continues like this without being able to figure it out, the Cao Wei army will surely be completely destroyed.

The key at this moment is to take the remaining troops of Cao Wei and go back as soon as possible to find out what kind of magic weapon Zhuge Liang has.

Sima Yi was not a fool after all, and he quickly figured it out.

This is definitely not the power of gods or demons, but a magical weapon that Zhuge Liang somehow mastered.

It is understandable that Zhuge Liang invented the wooden ox and flowing horse in the past and now he has invented this kind of weapon similar to the divine thunder.

The key now is to quickly figure out what Zhuge Liang’s weapon is and how it was made.

Otherwise, Cao Wei would be in danger.

Sima Yi was filled with hatred, but he had always been the most patient person.

He knew exactly what to do at this time.
So he did not hesitate at all and prepared to retreat with the remaining remnants of Cao Wei.

Sima Yi had a good idea, but he didn't think about how Zhuge Liang would allow them to escape since he had been preparing for so long.

With such a great opportunity right before his eyes, how could Sima Yi escape?

Zhuge Liang said coldly, "Kill Sima Yi for me, Prime Minister. Kill Sima Yi, regardless of his life or death."

If it were in the past, Zhuge Liang would have thought of saving Sima Yi's life if he could.

Try to see if you can convince the other party to work for Shu Han.

Now Zhuge Liang had only one idea, which was to kill Sima Yi, the eternal sinner who had brought disaster to China, as soon as possible.

Now it is Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and behind them are all the members of the Sima family.

The Sima family, the eternal sinners of China, all deserve to be put to death.

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, the soldiers of Shu Han finally reacted.

The main reason was that the soldiers of Shu Han were actually in a trance at this time.

The power of gunpowder was so great that even the Shu Han soldiers who were responsible for burying the explosives were unable to react for a while.

It was not until they heard Zhuge Liang's words that the Shu Han soldiers reacted.

The Shu Han soldiers who had been lying in ambush had cut off all the retreat routes of the Cao Wei army.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Restore the Han Dynasty! Return the old capital!"

"Support the Han Dynasty! Support the Han Dynasty!"

The soldiers of Shu Han all cried out in anger.

This time they clearly saw that the flag of Yanhan was once again flying in the homeland of the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty.

Support the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital.

This time they were so close to their goal.

The soldiers of Cao Wei had already been turned into defeated soldiers by the gunpowder, so how could they stop the now-powerful and aggressive Shu Han army?

In less than ten minutes, the remaining defeated troops of Cao Wei had all begun to flee.

Sima Yi looked at the Cao Wei soldiers fleeing in all directions in embarrassment, feeling great hatred in his heart.

Does this mean that Sima Yi is going to die here now?
Sima Yi knew that at this time, the morale of Cao Wei's remnants and defeated generals had completely disappeared.

It was doomed to be unable to break out with the remnants of Cao Wei's defeated troops.

Sima Yi looked up to the sky with an unprecedented urgency and piety in his eyes.

"Oh my God! Shangfanggu, you helped me Sima Yi once, please help me Sima Yi again."

Sima Yi could only pin his hopes on God.

Unfortunately, no one responded to him.

The general of Shu Han kicked Sima Yi off his horse.

Sima Yi could not help crying and said, "I, Sima Yi, do not accept it! I, Sima Yi, do not accept it! Zhuge village man, I, Sima Yi, do not accept it!"

Unfortunately, just as he finished speaking, his head was chopped off by a knife.

Sima Yi died with unwillingness and despair.

This old man Sima Yi is too long-lived and too tolerant.

It’s better for such an old turtle to die early and be reborn.

After Sima Yi's death, the remaining defeated soldiers knew that there was no hope of escape and chose to surrender directly.

This battle almost completely wiped out Cao Wei's army of hundreds of thousands, and the losses of Shu Han were negligible, so Shu Han won a great victory.

In November 234 AD, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, defeated the army of Cao Wei with his magic weapons. Sima Yi was killed and the army of Cao Wei was almost completely destroyed.

In December 235 AD, Zhuge Liang led the Shu Han army all the way to Chang'an City.

It was also in this month that the Shu Han army launched a fierce attack on the city of Chang'an.

In just three days, gunpowder showed its power again.

In three days, the Shu Han army directly broke through the city of Chang'an and took control of it.

The war only stopped after Zhuge Liang led the Shu Han army to garrison the city of Chang'an.

When the news came out, the world was shocked.

In Chang'an City, all the people of Shu Han were filled with unprecedented excitement at this moment.

One could even say that there was a feeling of sweetness after bitterness, and tears were streaming down one's face.

The Three Kingdoms were in a state of turmoil and the princes were fighting for supremacy.

The people of Shu Han are romantic idealists.

With the dream of rebuilding the Han Dynasty, they worked hard again and again.

Unfortunately, it failed again and again.

Restore the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital.

In just eight short words, we can see how much blood the Shu Han people paid.

General Guan, who was once feared throughout China, died on this road. He was ambushed and killed by the rats of Eastern Wu.

The first emperor Liu Bei, whose virtue was known throughout the world, died. He died in order to avenge General Guan.

In order to return to the old capital and restore the Han Dynasty, they had to endure the blood feud with the rats in Eastern Wu and embark on this path again.

Repeated northern expeditions, repeated attacks, were all for the purpose of rebuilding the Han Dynasty and reviving the Han Dynasty.

This is to tell everyone in the world that the Han Dynasty has never left.

During this era, there were also people in Shu who were working hard to restore the Han Dynasty.

Too many people have fallen on this path.

Failure again and again sometimes makes them begin to doubt whether everything they do is useful.

No one knows and there is no answer.

And now perhaps we have the answer, looking at the city of Chang'an, the former capital of the Han Dynasty.

They had the answer in their hearts.

"Prime Minister, we did it! We did it! We stepped into Chang'an City!"

"Prime Minister, we have done it. We have rebuilt the Han Dynasty and made it great again. The light of the Han Dynasty will eventually shine on the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty again."

Countless people cried bitterly, these were the tears of a group of idealists who saw hope.

Zhuge Liang's tears were also a little wet at this time.

He choked up a bit and said, "Yes, we did it. We finally did it. We lived up to the expectations of the first lord. We recovered Chang'an City."

Restore the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital.

How far is it from Chengdu to Chang'an City?
How far is Emperor Cheng from Luoyang City?

Zhuge Liang didn't know, but he knew he had walked for a lifetime.

Now he finally arrived in Chang'an City.

For decades, he worked day and night and devoted himself to the cause, just to revive the Han Dynasty, inherit the will of the former lord, and rebuild the Han Dynasty.

And now Zhuge Liang finally saw hope.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and told the soldiers present, "Send the message back to Chengdu, and be prepared for Cao Wei's counterattack."

Zhuge Liang quickly calmed down, he knew that retaking Chang'an City was only the first step.

There is also Luoyang City, which is the real imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chang'an was the former capital of the Han Dynasty, and the current capital of the Han Dynasty is Luoyang.

Chang'an was just the beginning, his goal was Luoyang City.

Only by entering Luoyang City and destroying Cao Wei can we truly rebuild the Third Han Empire and fulfill the last wish of the late emperor Liu Bei.

We have indeed occupied Chang'an City, but we still have to defend it.
