Lu Li knew that Zhuge Liang's mind was made up, and no matter how much he tried to persuade him, there was nothing he could do.

"Sir, are you willing to come out of seclusion and help me?" Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Li with a mixture of surprise and delight.

Lu Li nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, I don't know if I can do it..."

"Sir, I would be eternally grateful if you would be willing to come out of seclusion and help me!" Zhuge Liang said excitedly.

Lu Li nodded slightly and said, "No need for formalities. What are your plans for this Northern Expedition?"

Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "Sir, in the past ten years, I have launched five Northern Expeditions, and whether from Jingzhou or Yizhou, I have always been burdened by the lack of supplies."

"Even if it's Jingzhou, Eastern Wu will mobilize the entire nation to attack Jingzhou and cut off our supplies!"

Lu Li gave a bitter smile. Zhuge Liang's fate was indeed tragic. Even with Jingzhou in hand, he could not escape the fate of being burdened by the lack of supplies.

“I think that the five Northern Expeditions have instilled a fixed mindset in the Wei state that as long as they hold their cities, you will definitely have to withdraw your troops due to insufficient supplies.”

"We can use the grain and fodder as leverage!"

Zhuge Liang asked, "How can we use provisions as a tool?"

Lu Li whispered a few words in Zhuge Liang's ear, and Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up with excitement.

The two discussed things in the room for a long time before parting ways in the evening.

Five days later, Zhuge Liang mobilized an army of 200,000 and marched north!

Within just three days, he led his army to sweep through the Wei army and killed the Wei general Zhang He.

They won a great victory in this battle.

Sima Yi had already established a foothold in the army, and with Zhang He's death, there were no longer any obstacles in the army.

"General, Zhuge Liang has led his army to capture thirty-six of our cities in succession. The brothers at the front are about to be overwhelmed!"

Sima Yi frowned upon hearing this. Although he knew that the Wei army's defenses were weak, he did not expect them to be so fragile.

"What's going on? Why is Zhuge Liang coming so aggressively this time?" Sima Yi asked.

The adjutant gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said, "According to the scouts, the vanguard this time is Zhao Yun!"

"What?"

Sima Yi exclaimed in shock.

Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong!

At this moment, this name represents invincibility!

"Isn't he guarding Jingzhou? Now that he's gone, aren't you afraid Sun Quan will attack Jingzhou?"

"General, I was unaware, but the vanguard of the Shu army was indeed Zhao Yun!"

Sima Yi gritted his teeth; he never expected Zhao Yun to leave Jingzhou!

"General, Zhao Zilong is brave and skilled in battle; I'm afraid our army cannot withstand him!" the adjutant beside him said worriedly.

In the hearts of these military generals, Zhao Yun was a nightmare.

Only Lü Bu of yesteryear could rival him.

Since Lü Bu's death, no general in the world has been able to rival Zhao Yun.

After a moment of contemplation, Sima Yi said, "Pass on my order to all soldiers to fight back with all their might and wear down the morale of the Shu army."

No matter how many people die, as long as we can hold out until the Shu army loses its morale and can no longer hold out, the Shu army will surely run out of supplies. At that time, Zhuge Liang will naturally retreat.

Sima Yi even hoped that Zhuge Liang would launch a northern expedition from time to time, so that he would have a reason to exist.

Because if it were anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to hold on!

But what Sima Yi didn't expect was that this time, the Shu army fought almost recklessly.

The soldiers on the front lines fought desperately, but the city fell in less than a day.

Zhao Yun used all his skills and took the lead in attacking the city.

When Sima Yi learned of this, he realized that the Shu army was going to fight to the death!

"General, what do we do now?" the adjutant asked anxiously.

Sima Yi's expression shifted between light and dark. He gritted his teeth and finally said in a cold voice, "Send orders to Zhong Hui to intercept them. Also, mobilize cavalry and infantry to reinforce the front. We must stop Zhao Yun and his men from advancing!"

"yes!"

......

front.

Zhao Yun conquered cities and fortresses with overwhelming force.

"Report, General Zhao, a large number of Wei cavalry have been spotted ahead!" The scout rushed over to report.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun replied without hesitation, "Follow me and charge!"

Ten thousand elite troops followed Zhao Yun and charged towards the enemy, instantly clashing with them.

The scene of the battle was extremely chaotic, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, corpses lying on the ground, and blood staining the entire road.

Zhao Yun led his elite cavalry in relentless charges, and the Wei army was utterly unable to stop him.

Half an hour later, ten thousand elite cavalrymen broke through Wei's defensive perimeter.

"Hahaha, that was exhilarating! It was truly exhilarating!" Zhao Yun laughed heartily; this battle was simply too satisfying!

However, he did not forget the task Zhuge Liang had instructed him to carry out and continued to lead the group forward.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Zhao Yun captured nearly 48 cities of Wei, and the Wei army suffered repeated defeats, completely losing the initiative.

Zhao Yun charged recklessly, without any regard for consequences!

Upon seeing this, Sima Yi's expression turned extremely ugly.

His original plan was quite good: wait until the Shu army was exhausted, then send troops to clean up the mess.

But now the situation is completely different. The Shu army shows no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, they fight with increasing ferocity!

This made Sima Yi very uncomfortable, as it did not meet his expectations.

Because Zhao Yun only used 10,000 men to capture 48 of his cities. Is that something a human could do?

"No, this absolutely cannot continue!" Sima Yi roared.

At this moment, Zhao Yun was on horseback, studying the map.

"Uncle-Master, where should we attack next?" Zhao Yun asked Lu Li beside him.

This time, Zhao Yun led troops to conquer the city, along with Lu Li and Dian Wei.

After ten years, Dian Wei finally entered the ranks of junior masters.

The reason why these 10,000 Shu soldiers were so brave was because there were two minor grandmaster-level experts among them!

Lu Li stared at the map, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Attack Chen County!"

"Chenjun?"

Zhao Yun was stunned. Chen Commandery was heavily guarded, and it would be very difficult to take it!

"Uncle-Master, Chen County is heavily guarded; taking it will be very troublesome!"

Lu Li laughed and said, "What we need to do is use bait to penetrate deep into enemy territory alone."

"Only in this way will Sima Yi fall for it!"

Sima Yi was too clever; to lure him into a trap, you needed to offer enough bait.

Once they enter Chen County, they will be surrounded, and only then will Sima Yi make his move.

They surrounded Lu Li and his men, cut off their supply lines, and besieged their stronghold to intercept reinforcements.

"Yes, Uncle-Master, I understand." Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Order all troops to rest well tonight and attack Chen County tomorrow!"

Zhao Yun issued the order.

The next day, in the Wei army camp, Sima Yi sat on the commander's chair with a gloomy expression.

News of the Wei army's heavy losses kept coming in. Even Zhong Hui was unable to resist and almost lost his life.

"What a fine Zhao Yun! What a fine Zhao Yun!" Sima Yi said indignantly.

"Father, Zhao Yun's advance is unstoppable, and the morale of the Shu army is soaring. How can we defend against them?"
