Sun Bin, a wise and heroic generation, died. According to Sun Bin's request, he died under Xi Zhicai's sword. Like veteran Lian Po, Sun Bin is also unable to control his own consciousness. Once he has the desire to leave the Demon Lord, he will become crazy and unable to control himself.
Seeing the all-powerful heroes in history fall in front of him one after another, Qin Yang couldn't help but feel speechless. Even though these heroes have long been buried, they are now just puppets of the demon lord. But that unchanging heroic spirit all moved Qin Yang's heart.
"Every hero has his own pride, and no one wants to be a puppet. Your Majesty, please give them a death so that their heroic spirits can rest in peace."
The seriously injured Gao Shun was rescued, and the Lost Army was disintegrated and destroyed. During the whole process, Sun Bin's words before his death kept echoing in Qin Yang's ears. The heroes he fought with had already perished, so he had no choice but to kill them again and defeat the demon lord. Only then can they truly rest in peace.
"At the same time that the Yellow Turban Army achieved a great victory at San'iao Mountain, on the other hand, on the bank of Luoshui River, good news came back from the Yiyang battlefield. Situ Guojia of the Ming Dynasty led the Silver Armor Army and Huang Tianying to defeat the Yanyun Cavalry of the Demon General Le Yi, and led his army to recapture Luoyang. In the battle of Luoyang, the general Ma Chao broke through the limit, became a strong God of War, and killed Le Yi.
The outcome of this battle was already within Qin Yang's expectation. After reading Guo Jia's battle plan, he was already certain of Guo Jia's victory.
Back then, Qin Yang fought Dong Zhuo on the banks of the Luoshui River. Both sides invested hundreds of thousands of troops, and countless soldiers died in the battle. And the place where the great battle took place. It is near Yiyang and Yongning City. The Yin Qi in this place is extremely heavy, and there are naturally countless skeletons of soldiers killed in battle.
Although Guo Jia lost most of the power of "Dunjia Tianshu Ghost Scroll". But in this perfect burial place, he felt at ease. When Guo Jia cooperated with the Silver Armor Army and Huang Tianying, who was good at fighting. After activating the formation of corpse soldiers. Le Yi's Yanyun Cavalry was doomed to destruction. In this battle, General Ma Chao, the commander of the Silver Armor Army, showed great strength. When fighting against the Demon General Le Yi, he broke through to the powerful God of War. From this moment on, the Ming Empire already had two powerful war gods, and the strength of their generals far exceeded that of the Han Empire.
Since then, the five armies of the Yellow Turban Army have advanced hand in hand, and four armies have achieved victory. Demon Commander Bai Qi's subordinates. The first legion only has one checkpoint left, Hangu Pass. The remaining four yellow scarf armies, under Qin Yang's order, all gathered towards Hangu Pass.
At this time, Liu Bei's army stationed in Wancheng and Cao Cao's army, who pretended to be defeated and retreated without being pursued, all gathered on the banks of the Jishui River under the joint advice of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi. Just as Qin Yang expected, when the Yellow Turban Army and the Bai Qi Demon Army were fighting head-on. The demon general Zhang Han, who has been stationed in Yuzhou, has already begun to take action.
Under Zhang Han's mobilization, the 200,000 demon army was like a broken bamboo, madly attacking the ancient city originally guarded by brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang of Liu Bei's army. Under the control of Ma Yuanyi's troops, Zhang Han's army was also within ten days. Continuously descended the ancient city and Lushan defense lines, and finally stopped at Feishui, with Ma Yuanyi's Yellow Turban Army. And the allied forces of Liu Bei and Cao Cao faced off at Huishui.
In this battle, although Cao Cao and Liu Bei's plans were completely disrupted by Qin Yang's sudden participation in the battle. But after all, the demon army suffered heavy losses. Moreover, Zhang Han's army, which was rushing for reinforcements, was also blocked along the coast of Feishui River. Overall, it can be said to be an unprecedented victory for the human race. This is the situation. Cao Cao and Liu Bei could only hope that Qin Yang could annihilate Bai Qi's First Legion in one go, and they could also take advantage of this opportunity to counterattack in one fell swoop and attack the Demon City where the Demon Lord was.
Late at night, on the bank of Feishui River, there is a coalition camp. Here, the two armies of the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Empire gathered nearly 700,000 troops. The tents alone stretched for dozens of miles, and the momentum was extremely majestic. Even in the middle of the night, the lights in the camp are as bright and dense as the stars in the night sky.
"Brother Zhuge, I asked you to come here late at night. What's the matter?Oh? It turns out that Master Ma is here too, and Sima Yi is polite."
In the open space in front of a camp, Sima Yi, wearing a long robe, approached slowly alone. When he saw Ma Yuanyi standing next to Zhuge Liang with his hands behind his back, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then bowed his hands to the two of them.
When Zhuge Liang and Ma Yuanyi saw Sima Yi coming, they returned the favor with smiles. Ma Yuanyi even said: "Mr. Sima invited me, I have just arrived here."
Sima Yi nodded and smiled, then looked at Zhuge Liang, who was shaking his feather fan and smiling without saying a word, and asked: "Brother Zhuge, besides us, have you invited anyone else?"
Seeing that the two of them had arrived, Zhuge Liang suddenly put away the smile on his face, frowned slightly, and said calmly: "It's enough to have two of them, why should I invite others? Both of you are"It's a matter of talent and wisdom, but there happens to be something undecided. That's why I asked you two to come and help me. Please don't blame me for disturbing me late at night. "
Seeing Zhuge Liang's solemn words, the two of them couldn't help but feel moved in their hearts and looked at each other, wondering what happened to Zhuge Liang today. Among Cao Cao's counselors, Sima Yi had the best relationship with Zhuge Liang, and the two had the most contact. As for the Yellow Turban Army, the current supreme commander here is Ma Yuanyi. Zhuge Liang called the two of them over late at night. There must be something extremely important and related to the three parties.
Ma Yuanyi smiled and said: "Mr. Zhuge, there is no need to be polite. If you have something to do, please speak up."
Zhuge Liang nodded, then seemed to sigh slightly, raised his head, looked up at the night sky and said softly: "I wonder if you two understand the stars?"
Zhuge Liang¡¯s question is obviously aimed at Ma Yuanyi. Before this, Sima Yi had watched the stars at night with Zhuge Liang, but Sima Yi's abilities were far inferior to Zhuge Liang, the holder of the Heavenly Book.
Sure enough, Ma Yuanyi shook his head and said honestly: "I apologize for my lack of talent and knowledge. Although I admire the mysteries of the astrology, I cannot understand it at all. Mr. Zhuge, is there anything wrong with this astrology?"
At this time, Sima Yi also raised his head to look up at the sky and said doubtfully: "Brother Zhuge, forgive me for my blindness. Now the Demon Star is dim. Although my Han Emperor Star is not as dazzling as in the past, there are faint signs of its rise. And the Emperor Star of the Ming Empire is dim. , then the sun is at its peak. I wonder what Brother Zhuge is worried about?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly, after mentioning the stars. Instead of continuing directly, he changed the subject and asked: "I wonder what you two think of the current war?"
Ma Yuanyi said with a smile: "Why did Mr. Zhuge speak so strangely today? Now my Majesty, Emperor Ming, is on the front line of Hangu Pass, winning consecutive battles. And all the great lords of the Han Empire are also preparing their troops. Just waiting for the news of the victory on the front line of Hangu Pass to come, the army here will definitely be Crossing the Feishui River, we directly attack Zhang Han's demon army, take advantage of the situation to regain Yuzhou, and even attack the demon capital. Moreover, I heard that King Wu of Jiangdong is also training his army and horses at this moment. Once he wins, he will send his army across the river to respond to us. . If we talk about the current war, things are naturally getting better."
Sima Yi also nodded. Ma Yuanyi's analysis is exactly the current deployment of Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others. This battle was even more crucial for Cao Cao, who had just lost all the lands in Guanzhong. In order to carve out their own territory. Cao Cao had already risked all his capital, and was only waiting for this desperate counterattack.
Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and said calmly: "What Master Ma said is true, but I always feel a little uneasy. I can't sleep tonight. My heart is pounding. That's why I got up in my clothes and watched the sky at night. It's just this At first glance, it turns out"
"As he spoke, Zhuge Liang raised the feather fan in his hand. Pointing to the night sky, he said, "Can you two see the star that flickers on and off?"
The two of them followed the direction of Zhuge Liang's finger. Look up. Sure enough, I saw a star flickering in and out of the night sky. Hidden among the stars. If Zhuge Liang hadn't pointed it out, they probably wouldn't have paid attention at all.
Ma Yuanyi doesn¡¯t understand astrology and can only see it in a cloudy and foggy way. But after Sima Yi watched for a long time, he suddenly shrank his eyes slightly and said in shock: "Brother Zhuge, could it be that this star is"
Zhuge Liang nodded, picked up Sima Yi's words and said, "Yes, this star is the demon star of troubled times."
"The demon star of troubled times?" Ma Yuanyi looked at the two of them doubtfully. Although he didn't know what the two of them were talking about, he could vaguely feel something on Sima Yi's horrified expression.
"The so-called evil star in troubled times is a strange star phenomenon that appears in the night sky when a dynasty is about to fall. Once this star appears, your dynasty and empire, which has been established for hundreds of years, will also overturn. In this case, , even when the great sage Zhang Jiao raised the army and His Majesty Emperor Ming raised the army, it did not appear. Now, it actually appeared." Sima Yi explained to Ma Yuanyi in a deep voice.
Zhuge Liang also nodded and added: "Previously, the Demon Lord came and the Demon Star of Rebellion appeared in the sky, which caused chaos in the world. Then, His Majesty Emperor Ming proclaimed himself emperor, and another Emperor Star appeared, and the sky was already in chaos. It¡¯s unbearable and elusive. Now that the demon star has appeared in the world, I really don¡¯t know where the world will go in the future"
Seeing that the two of them spoke so solemnly, Ma Yuanyi couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "You two, although I don't understand astrology, but with the help of you two, I know a little bit about it. I don't know what this demon star looks like when it appears in the world. sign?"
Zhuge Liang sighed softly and said: "The Demon Star appears in the world. Although it has no impact on the Demon Star, the Emperor Star will fall with it. This is just like the principle of the five elements in conflict. The Emperor Star is responsible for prosperity and prosperity. If there are two Emperor Stars, it will be even worse. If more Emperor Stars appear, they cannot coexist, and only one can remain. And the Demon Star Lord??, Destruction of the world can destroy all the emperor stars, or be destroyed by the emperor stars. The demon star is an extremely strange star. No matter how many emperor stars exist, as soon as the demon star appears, the emperor star will be destroyed! Until the Emperor Star reappears after the Demon Star"
"The Emperor Star must be destroyed" Ma Yuanyi murmured and repeated Zhuge Liang's words, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. If it is said that the Emperor Star must be destroyed, wouldn't it mean that even the Emperor Star of the Ming Empire
Thinking of this, Ma Yuanyi raised his head and frowned: "Mr. Zhuge, our army is at its peak now. How can there be signs of destruction? Could it be"
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Don't blame me, Master Ma. I also hope that I am wrong. But after repeated calculations and confirming it with the Heavenly Book and Heavenly Scroll, I discovered that this is indeed a demon star."
When Zhuge Liang said the four words "Heavenly Book and Heavenly Scroll", Ma Yuanyi's heart suddenly sank. From Guo Jia and Pang Tong, he already knew the mystery of the six volumes of Dunjia Heavenly Book. The heavenly scrolls reveal the stars and luck, and no one in the world can compare with them. The earth scroll can read the earth's veins, and the human scroll can read people's hearts. These are all unpredictable abilities, since Zhuge Liang said so. I'm afraid that at least regarding the demon star, I can't go wrong. otherwise. Zhuge Liang did not dare to say such words in front of himself and Sima Yi.
"Does Mr. Zhuge mean that this matter cannot be solved?" Ma Yuanyi asked.
"To break the demon star's signs of troubled times, a divine star must come to the world. But this divine star is" This time, it was Sima Yi who spoke. I saw him frowning and looking at Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Brother Sima is right. The divine star is the star that controls light and prosperity. It is opposed to the demon star, but it restrains the demon star. However, this divine star has never appeared in the world for thousands of years, regardless of dynasty. Rise and fall, empires fall, everything has its own destiny. The gods rarely interfere."
"So, a thousand years ago, the divine star appeared in this world?" Ma Yuanyi quickly grasped the key to the problem.
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Yes, thousands of years ago, when King Wu of the Zhou Empire was conquering Zhou, the demon star appeared in the sky and the world was in chaos. At that time, a divine star came to the world to restrain the demon star. However, at that time, the gods and demons in the world met. The era, regardless of gods, demons and monsters, is naturally extremely chaotic, how can it be compared with today's world?"
Sima Yi said: "Brother Zhuge, please don't say this now. Just say it. How should we deal with it now?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "This is also the purpose of why I asked you two to come here. The world is in chaos now. As human ministers, we naturally have to relieve the lord's worries. I would like to ask you two questions here. If under the current situation, the demon army wants to make a comeback. If so, what will you do?"
¡°A comeback?!¡± When the two heard this, they were slightly startled, and then they immediately understood what Zhuge Liang meant. Even though the celestial phenomena have already shown signs of some things, after all, things still need people to do it. Even if a dynasty falls, someone still needs to overthrow it. Under the current situation, the only one who can destroy two Emperor Stars in a row is the Demon Army.
"According to what I know, Bai Qi and Han Xin are not the only combat forces in the Demon Army. In the hands of the Demon Lord, there is at least one extremely powerful legion." Ma Yuanyi said thoughtfully.
"Master Ma, could it be Xiang Yu?" Zhuge Liang asked. As a military strategist, it was natural that he had not heard of Xiang Yu's Third Army.
Ma Yuanyi nodded and said: "Mr. Zhuge is right. Bai Qi's army is about to be destroyed now. Han Xin's army is blocked by our army in the west, and faces the King of Wu's troops in the south who rely on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to defend themselves. There is no need to worry about either of these. The only one we have to worry about is probably Xiang Yu from the third legion."
Zhuge Liang nodded and asked: "If this feather army sends out troops, how should he march?"
"If I were Xiang Yu, there were only two places where I could send troops" Sima Yi analyzed: "First, allege with Han Xin's army, forcefully cross the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, first go to Wu, and then conquer Jingzhou, and then conquer the world. Second, , that is, from Hangu Pass, we joined forces with the Baiqi Army to launch surprise troops and defeated the Yellow Turban Army head-on. Then we went straight to Jingzhou, and the Baiqi Army could go west to sweep Hanzhong and Xichuan."
After listening to Sima Yi¡¯s analysis, Zhuge Liang and Ma Yuanyi both nodded in agreement. Zhuge Liang went a step further and analyzed: "What Brother Sima said is possible, but Brother Sima forgot one thing."
"Oh? Which point?" Sima Yi asked doubtfully.
Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan and said calmly: "It is impossible for Xiang Yu to join forces with Han Xin's army. Even now, the strength of Bai Qi's army has been greatly reduced, while the strength of Han Xin's army is still the same. But Brother Sima has forgotten the long-cherished wish of the two of them in their previous lives. "
"The long-cherished wish of the previous life" Sima Yi thought thoughtfully.
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Yes, in the previous life it was Han Xin who trapped Xiang Yu under Haixia, so thatThe overlord of Western Chu committed suicide in Wujiang River, leaving behind eternal regrets. Although the two are now reborn with the power of the Demon Lord, according to my observation, in addition to being loyal to the Demon Lord, they also retain the memories of their previous lives. Let me ask, how can the arrogant Overlord of Western Chu join forces with his old enemy from his previous life? "
"What Mr. Zhuge means is that the breakthrough point of the Third Army is at Hangu Pass?" Ma Yuanyi asked with a thought in his heart.
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "If my prediction is correct, then it must be this place!"
When Ma Yuanyi heard this, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Now the main force of our Yellow Turban Army is gathering at Hangu Pass. If it doesn't work, I will report this matter to His Majesty Emperor Ming immediately!"
With that said, Ma Yuanyi was about to turn around and leave. However, Zhuge Liang grabbed Ma Yuanyi and said, "Master Ma, walk slowly. Even if you are traveling under the stars and night, it may be too late."
Hearing this, Ma Yuanyi frowned and turned around and said, "What does Mr. Zhuge mean?"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "In my opinion, His Majesty Ming Emperor is safe. We only need to help His Majesty stop the demon army halfway. If Master Ma can trust me, I am willing to go alone with Master Ma and lead the army. I don't know. ,how about?"
"Alone?" Ma Yuanyi took a deep look at Zhuge Liang, and after pondering for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, in that case, then I have Mr. Lao."
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, then turned to Sima Yi and said: "Brother Sima, I'm sorry to bother you about this matter. Presumably, when Xiang Yu's army goes south, Han Xin's army will also launch an attack together. If they can win within ten days, then Sima Brother, please do your best. If you can't, please Brother Sima, please make sure that our army retreats within ten days, so as not to be attacked from both sides and face the danger of destruction. All marching plans are in this bag, please also Brother Sima will act as appropriate."
Sima Yi took the brocade bag, put it in his arms, nodded and said: "Brother Zhuge, don't worry, I'm here, you can just go." (To be continued)
