The Weihe River has quietly thawed, and spring has gradually warmed up. The sunny days in a row have completely melted the winter snow, but the plains have ushered in an unusually dry climate, which is even a bit chilly.

The circling goshawk overlooked the huge river, and the well-prepared military formations on both sides had emerged. What was even more dazzling was the golden banner that burst into the eyes. Under the banner, a general with a golden helmet appeared resolutely, and this person arrived. He was not a real general, but Cao Rui, the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, who had secretly marched here personally. The two armies on the left and right were Sima Yi and Zhang He. They were lined with swords and spears and heavily armored. They were like a black cloud suddenly pressing on the vast Wei River plain. It seemed that it would take a while for the flapping goshawk to fly to the end of the military formation.

"Shoot it down for me!" Cao Rui said coldly.

The surrounding soldiers immediately raised their hands and shot. After a shower of arrows, the circling goshawk was immediately transformed into a hedgehog and shot down. Even the moment it landed, no one could recognize that it was an eagle.

On the plain five miles away from this military formation, a large flag for the restoration of the Central Plains stood in front of the central army. Under the flag was a man with a feather fan and a turban, but there was a heroic spirit in his eyebrows that scholars did not have, and he seemed to be able to predict the world. The immortal aura of great events, and there is a general standing beside him, who is also very heroic.

"Bo Yue, you have to experience this battle well. Not everyone can see the duel between the truth and Sima Yi." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said slowly.

Jiang Wei immediately bowed his hands and replied: "I will obey the Prime Minister's order."

Zhuge Liang raised his eyes and looked at the right army in the south. Under a mainstay banner swaying in the wind, the three armies were in good order. The rattan armor that had been dyed like gold shone in the sunlight. After Zhuge Liang watched the formation, he felt deeply moved, and then looked at the left army in the north. In front of the left army were three thousand Mingguang armored soldiers, all of whom were holding broadswords. Obviously, these armors were obtained from Li Xian's tribe. Each of the front armies was different. Li Xian's army was flanked by eight thousand fully equipped vine-armored cavalry, while Wei Yan's army was flanked by more than ten thousand Xiqiang light cavalry.

The three armies have already set up their positions, and it seems that they are just waiting for an order to fight for life and death on this huge Wei River Plain.

In Cao Rui's army formation.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea. Why not call out Zhuge Liang and have the old minister scold him in front of the battle line? This will definitely weaken the spirit of his army." Wang Lang said as he immediately raised his hands.

After all, Cao Rui was no better than Cao Zhen, and said: "Wang Situ, this Zhuge Liang has previously fought with the Confucian scholars and never failed. Situ is old and has been blocking Dongwu in Kuaiji for many years. He has never negotiated with the Shu people. Or should he just make suggestions in the battle?"

However, Wang Lang insisted: "Your Majesty, I am already old and have no military duties in Kuaiji every day. Maybe I can make a great contribution to your Majesty today? Please come forward."

Seeing that he couldn't defeat this person, Cao Rui nodded.

Wang Lang immediately accepted the order, rode out of the military formation, and ordered the soldiers to shout loudly: "Wei Situ Wang Lang, please ask Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, to speak in front of the formation!"

Li Xian was suddenly startled, and immediately thought to himself, Damn, you are stupid, and immediately had a black look on his face. Sure enough, Li Xian rode to the front of his army's formation to see with his own eyes what the scolded Wang Lang looked like.

By the time Li Xian arrived in front of the military formation, the two of them had been chattering for a while. Suddenly Wang Lang started to cover his heart and his eyes rolled up. "Good guy, he has high blood pressure and his cerebral blood vessels have ruptured." Just a few words, "Brother, what are you doing?" There was no one to take care of him for a while. Wang Lang spit out a mouthful of blood and suddenly fell off the horse. His limbs struggled a few times. The sergeants around him rushed up to help him up, but he had already lost his breath. It makes sense that if he didn't fall off the horse at this time, he could be saved by resuscitation, but Who had the ability at that time, they could only watch Wang Lang die in front of the battle. This shocked Cao Rui, Sima Yi, and Zhang He, and they quickly had Wang Lang snatched back. .

"This Zhuge Liang is really a monster. He killed my Situ with just a few words?" Cao Rui said helplessly as he looked at Wang Lang's body on the ground.

Just when the three armies were shocked, Zhuge Liang calmly retreated into the formation, stood up suddenly on the four-wheeled vehicle, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of the Han Dynasty! The time has come to revive the Han Dynasty! The usurper and traitor is in front! The three armies charge into the formation!"

"Li Xianbu obeys the order! Prime Minister General orders! The whole army rushes into battle!"

"Wei Yan's troops listen to the order! The Prime Minister has given the order! The entire army rushes into battle!"

The two messenger horses ran north and south separately.

Li Xian witnessed Wang Lang's death and immediately rode back to the formation. After receiving the Prime Minister's order, he immediately raised his gun and shouted loudly: "Xu Zhi listens to the order and forms the formation! Break out!"

Xu Zhi shouted excitedly: "Form up a formation! Follow me and rush over!"

The front of Zhang He's army, who were still in shock just now, had not yet reacted, but they heard the cry of killing from all over the mountains and plains. Ten thousand vine-armored Euphorbia warriors swooped down from the ground and came to kill them immediately.

When Zhang He saw Xu Zhi coming, he looked at the front of the Euphorbia soldiers and sneered at the corner of his mouth. He immediately ordered: "The sword and shield soldiers are in front! The spearmen follow and form a square formation!"

Looking at the enemy troops coming from the front, they immediately formed a square formation effectively. However, the yellow-glossy rattan armor immediately made these soldiers feel uneasy.

"They won't be wearing gold armor, right?"

"Who knows? I heard that golden armor is invulnerable."

Zhang He seemed to have overheard the conversation between the two sergeants at the front, and glared fiercely. The two sergeants immediately did not dare to speak, but honestly held up their shields and held the hilts of their swords.

Let's talk about Xu Zhi, who came charging with the Euphorbia warriors. There was no sense of solemnity and solemnity on his face at all, but an expression eager to fight. This kind of bloodthirsty, even Zhang He secretly felt... Shocked, the two armies engaged, Xu Zhi found Zhang He to fight. In the first ten rounds of the battle, Zhang He also secretly lamented this man's strange strength, but after ten rounds, he turned out to be a veteran on the battlefield, so Zhang He used his strength to fight. He tilted his spear to attack Xu Zhi, but at this moment the giant ax came out of his hand and flew out immediately.

Zhang He sneered: "With your brute strength, you still want to fight your grandfather? Go back and practice for another ten years."

Xu Zhi whined and cursed: "Good guy, you are really powerful. Your grandpa, I will come back to meet you another day." He immediately hit his horse to retrieve his weapon and hid in the formation.

Zhang He also returned to the formation. Due to the battle in front of the formation, the morale of Zhang He's army was greatly boosted. Le Lin immediately ordered the shield soldiers to press forward, and the two armies fought here again.

Only then did Zhang He truly realize the terror of rattan armor. These euphorbia warriors were all covered in face armor. In addition to powerful weapons such as hammers that could injure them, the infantrymen on top of him were all injured. Just like a flock of sheep waiting to be slaughtered, they fell down in rows. It was just that the ones holding shields fell slower. He even wanted to see the soldiers he was talking to just now. Now there was only flesh and blood on the ground. The morale that had been boosted seemed to collapse in an instant. Many sergeants even began to shout: "They know sorcery! They know sorcery! General, run away!" Many sergeants who had fought in the front had begun to flee. Le Lin was also suspicious of this phenomenon. She turned to look at Zhang He. Zhang He didn't say a word at this time. He knew that sending cavalry to directly crush these vine-armored warriors was the best choice at this moment, but Li Xian's cavalry simply couldn't do it. If he moves these cavalry, it is very likely that these cavalry will be scattered by Li Xian's cavalry, and they will be defeated in one battle.

In order to avoid this situation from happening, Zhang He immediately ordered: "The entire army retreats, fighting while retreating, to the bank of the Wei River!"

After Le Lin listened to the order, she ordered the shield soldiers in front and retreated slowly. When they arrived at the bank of the Wei River, Xu Zhi saw Zhang He's infantry retreating. The soldiers continued to pursue.

Li Xian looked at the infantry slowly retreating to the river bank, frowning, and thought to himself, Zhang He is guarding our cavalry. If the infantry retreats to the bank, all his flanking cavalry will be dispatched, and Once our army ordered a charge, they had no choice but to rush into the water. It was so dangerous. Li Xian immediately ordered Xu Zhi to withdraw. Xu Zhi was obviously not satisfied with killing him. He only felt that his hands were itchy and he couldn't bear it. Can lead the Euphorbia back to the original position.

"General, why are you withdrawing your troops? I haven't had enough killing yet!" Xu Zhi said angrily.

Li Xian smiled and said: "General, don't worry, I will definitely let the general kill him tomorrow!"

Seeing that Zhang He's front was completely defeated, after a battle, both sides were victorious. However, Li Xianjun only killed fifteen people. These fifteen people were trampled to death because they did not stop the car and fell down during the charge.

After a day of fierce fighting, Cao Rui was inside Cao Rui's tent at night.

"Zhang He, you are the most powerful general in our army, why did you collapse in one battle?" Cao Rui asked slowly.

Zhang He immediately knelt down with his hands in fear: "Your Majesty, it's not that I am incompetent, but the armor of the soldiers in front of Li Xian is really tricky. No matter how hard my soldiers hit them, they just can't break them. Only a big hammer can break them open. Normally, The sword can't break it at all."

Cao Rui frowned when he heard this: "Is this happening? Why don't General Zhang seize two of them and let me observe them later?"

Zhang He cupped his hands and shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty, Li Xian cleaned the battlefield every time he attacked and retreated. He couldn't find it at all, not even a single fragment was left behind."

Hearing this, Cao Rui's eyes seemed to have a different color: "Is it possible that General Zhang betrayed him for a while because of the friendship between the same sect?"

Zhang He was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a moment. He turned to look at Sima Yi who was standing aside with a calm face. At this moment, he was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He quickly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty! There is absolutely no such thing! There must be someone." People are making slanderous remarks! My loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

Cao Rui then said slowly: "General Zhang has had a hard time fighting today. It's better to go back to his tent and rest first. I'm also tired."

Zhang He looked up again, and he understood that this was not Cao Cao, let alone Cao Pi, but a more difficult emperor who understood the emperor's mind better than anyone else. If he did not live with Zhuge Liang, at least he should be a The hero.

Zhang He had no choice but to raise his hands and said: "Yes, I obey your Majesty's order." Zhang He was about to withdraw slowly, but was stopped by Cao Rui again.

"General Zhang, it's a little cold at night, don't catch a cold." Then a very meaningful look was shot straight at Zhang He.

Zhang He didn't dare to look directly at her, so he had to raise his hands again and said: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty... I... I am deeply grateful..." After saying this, he quickly returned to his tent, only to see Le Lin already waiting in front of the tent.

"Why are you here, nephew?" Zhang He asked.

Le Lin quickly whispered: "General, I captured a spy of Li Xianjun who calls himself Night Owl. After interrogation, he told me where to get such armor."

Zhang He was immediately surprised and said: "Is there such a thing? Come and see me quickly!"

……..

After Zhang He left, Cao Rui gave Sima Yi a meaningful look and said, "Commander Sima knows how to kill people." Then he walked out.

Sima Yi just wanted to say something, but saw Cao Rui walking away, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead...

Wuzhang original military formation.

Li Xian looked up at the sky full of stars and sighed: "Tomorrow should be a great weather."

But I heard a question: "I didn't expect that Han Xing would also observe the stars?"

When Li Xianqing knew that Zhuge Liang had arrived, he held his hands and said, "I met the Prime Minister. He was joking. I don't know how to watch stars. I just watched them out of boredom."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "It's okay, I occasionally look at the original appearance, but every time I look at it, I feel wonderful. Originally, the Ziwei star was extremely dim, and the Lord was in the north. However, when I came from the original appearance to the south and regained the three counties, I couldn't find it." The General Star next to the Ziwei Star I saw was shining brightly, and it immediately moved westward, as if there was an invisible force lifting the Emperor Star, which is really wonderful."

Li Xian cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister is knowledgeable about heaven and earth, and I am extremely worthy of you."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and asked, "Don't Han Xing want to know who that general is?"

Li Xian was also confused and asked: "Prime Minister, please make it clear."

"It's you!" Zhuge Liang said lightly, shaking his feather fan and smiling.

Li Xian was so shocked that he froze on the spot and asked in a blink of an eye: "Prime Minister, why is this general not the prime minister?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The true nature is also among these stars, and the other one is the true star." Zhuge Liang pointed to his own general star, which was also glowing with gorgeous light, but was covered with a layer of yellow light. Dizzy, one left and one right reflected the originally dim crape myrtle star brightly...
