……

Meanwhile, in front of the imperial palace in Chengdu.

The Wei generals Hu Lie and his son surrounded the entire Shu Han palace, with only Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui's personal guards inside struggling to hold them off.

Before Zhong Hui even declared himself emperor or revealed Empress Dowager Guo's will, the news leaked out, and the Wei army immediately surrounded the entire palace overnight.

Even at this point, Zhong Hui's direction had already been breached by the Wei army, and countless Wei soldiers rushed into the palace. Zhong Hui had long lost his composure and was running around in a panic.

At this time, Jiang Wei was alone, along with nearly a hundred Shu Han soldiers, fighting valiantly.

However, outnumbered, Jiang Wei watched as Hu Lie charged towards him and Hu Yuan rushed towards Zhong Hui. He knew that his final move had failed.

"Prime Minister, Jiang Wei is incompetent, he has misled the country and the people, and failed the trust you placed in him. He is short of talent and wisdom, and even in death he wanted to preserve the foundation laid by the late emperor..." At this moment, the old general's face was full of grief and pain.

But now, this last plan has failed!

"My plan failed; it is fate!" he shouted, raising his head, and then drew his sword to commit suicide.

However, a violent burst of light exploded on the city wall of Chengdu. At that moment, the Wei army was stunned. Even the charging general Hu Lie was startled by his horse and fell off, his fate unknown.

Upon seeing the explosion, for some reason, the white-haired Jiang Wei instinctively raised the longsword he had been preparing to use to commit suicide, and roared, "Emperor Guangwu has appeared! A meteorite has fallen from the sky! We, the descendants of the Han Dynasty, have failed Emperor Guangwu's divine protection, but we are willing to fight to the last moment!"

In that instant, the Shu Han remnants, whose morale had already completely collapsed, perhaps triggered the belief that a desperate army is bound to win, suddenly unleashed their most ferocious will to die.

The Wei army, which had initially been in a very favorable position, immediately became hesitant and restrained.

After all, the radiance they had just witnessed and the shouts of "The Emperor Guangwu has arrived" had made them wonder if it was true that Emperor Guangwu was going to punish them, the usurpers of the Han dynasty.

What threw the Wei army into even greater confusion was that General Hu Lie's warhorse had just been startled by the explosion's light, causing General Hu Lie to fall from his horse, his fate unknown.

In that instant, despite the Wei army's advantage, they immediately became hesitant and timid, just as an arrogant army is bound to be defeated.

The nearly one hundred remaining soldiers of Shu Han were already determined to die. They also saw the light of the explosion, and with Jiang Wei's shouts, they believed that it was their grandfather, Emperor Guangwu, watching over them.

Even in death, these unworthy descendants of the Han dynasty will show Emperor Guangwu their final resolve to die!

In this age of feudal superstition and prophetic doctrines, such "miracles" can boost morale far more effectively than a thousand pieces of gold.

It was during this time of resistance by these remnants of the army that Li Ge and his three hundred men charged straight to the palace.

No army could stop them along the way. In front of Li Ge and Yi Lian, who were far more brave than Lu Bu, they just charged forward. Even if they just activated a special effect halfway through the charge, it would startle the enemy and throw them into disarray, thus scattering them directly.

Li Ge didn't even intend to subdue these people; they just charged forward, charging towards the palace.

What Li Ge didn't know was that some of those who were scattered actually joined them after witnessing such a "miraculous" scene.

As a result, the number of people did not decrease but increased. By the time they reached the palace gate, the number had grown from 300 to as many as 800.

At this moment, the Wei army that had been surrounding the palace was greatly alarmed and immediately became chaotic.

But that's not enough, far from enough. What Li Ge needs is the power to turn the tide in an instant.

One's "adoptive father strategy" is invincible in small-scale battles, but in large-scale battles, the "adoptive father strategy" controlled by one person can only play a role in helping to charge forward.

"Valerie, one more shot!" Li Ge said immediately.

Although Valerie was a little dizzy from the previous explosion of the pony, and felt like she was about to vomit from the sprint, she had no choice but to trust Li Ge's judgment and summon the Holy Light Pony again.

The next moment, the Wei army outside the palace could only see the Holy Light Pony descending from the sky and reappearing, exploding above the heads of the Wei army with the oldest and original flashbang!

The light shot into the sky, and the sound and light effects that Li Ge had always disliked for Valerie's Little Pony, which were so uncontrollable, now came into their fullest effect.

At this moment, the balance of power shifts between offense and defense!

The Wei army was thrown into chaos instantly.

Xiao Ye had long since broken away from their group. Li Ge's task for Xiao Ye was to quietly approach anyone with the Wei army insignia, especially those resembling generals.

Therefore, Xiaoye separated from the main group the moment she entered the city.

However, frontal assaults are not Xiaoye's forte, so it's enough to leave this to Lige and Yilian, who have already advanced to the second tier of mages.

The next moment, their ranks charged into the Wei army like blades, and the second explosion had thrown the Wei army into complete chaos. Some dropped their weapons and fled, some cried out "Grandpa Guangwu, spare our lives!" and others, seeing that these people also looked like Wei soldiers, joined Li Ge and his men in killing their comrades...

In that instant, like a sharp knife, Li Ge and Yi Lian cooperated from the left and right, brothers attacking together, how could they be a match for each other, and immediately pierced through the Wei army's lines.

At this moment, Xiao Ye suddenly appeared behind Li Ge, handed the two heads in her hands to Li Ge, and said, "These two were generals of the Wei army, one named Hu Lie and the other named Hu Yuan. I killed them both."

"Okay, you go take care of the exhausted Valerie, and leave the rest to me and Yilian!"

Xiao Ye disappeared into the shadows. Li Ge and Yi Lian exchanged a glance. Yi Lian immediately helped Li Ge clear out the surrounding enemies. Li Ge held up the heads of Hu Lie and Hu Yuan and shouted, "The heads of Wei generals Hu Lie and his son are here. Drop your weapons and surrender to be spared!"

The roar pierced the night, and the Wei soldiers nearby saw that the two heads were indeed their generals. Coupled with the previous miracle of Guangwu's appearance, they were filled with fear and dread, and they abandoned their armor and weapons.

Jiang Wei was stunned when he saw this scene. He had no idea who Li Ge and his group were.

At this moment, Li Ge, who was holding up the head in the crowd, turned his head and looked at the old general. Although he did not recognize Jiang Wei, Li Ge subconsciously thought that he was Jiang Boyue.

He smiled and said, "Old General, do you know Cao Ziyin from Shanyang?"

For a moment, Jiang Wei was stunned, feeling as if he had been transported to another world.

In the distance, the shouts of battle gradually subsided, and dawn was approaching.

Chapter 78 A Swift Strike at Chang'an, Without a Twist

In March of 264 AD, Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui plotted a rebellion to establish their own independent regime and become emperors. However, their plan was leaked, and Hu Yuan and Hu Lie led their armies out in a clamor. Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui fought on both sides, and Jiang Wei killed five or six people with his own hands. Just as he was about to commit suicide, several young generals suddenly appeared, as if Emperor Guangwu had descended to earth. A meteorite struck the city, pacifying Hu Lie and his son. They said, "Old general, do you recognize Cao Ziyin of Shanyang?"

……

In Sichuan, the entire city of Chengdu was plunged into chaos and war.

Although the Wei army surrendered and dared not act rashly after Hu Lie and his son were killed, Zhong Hui died in the chaos of battle. Both Jiang Wei and Li Ge knew that these hundreds of thousands of Wei troops were actually a huge powder keg.

One wrong move and this powder keg could explode.

Now, this powder keg has only been temporarily calmed down by Valerie's two pony explosions and the deaths of Hu Lie and his son.

However, both Li Ge and Jiang Wei knew that if Zhong Hui were alive, he could barely become a patch-up artist, mending and patching to temporarily appease the hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers. But after Zhong Hui died, could Jiang Wei, a general of Shu Han and a newly surrendered general, control these hundreds of thousands of terrifying Wei soldiers?

impossible!

They're only stunned by the two small flashbangs right now. Once they recover in a few days, these Wei soldiers will naturally rebel. As long as a mid-level general raises his arms and gives the order, Li Ge and everyone else will be in deep trouble.

After all, these Wei soldiers were from the Central Plains, and their wives, children, and elderly parents were all in the Central Plains. After the victory in the conquest of Shu, the greatest wish of the 200,000 Wei soldiers was to return to their hometowns in the north and reunite with their families, carrying with them their war merits and rewards.

So now, Jiang Wei has gathered Zhong Hui's former subordinates and, after having his personal guards briefly appease them, hurriedly pulled Li Ge and the others aside to discuss the situation.

For some reason, despite the strange attire of these people, Jiang Wei could not hide the admiration in his eyes when he looked at Li Ge. This white-haired old general was as if he were seeing his former self.

At this moment, Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi, Jiang Bin, Jiang Xian and a few other civil and military officials of Shu Han knelt together, while Li Ge knelt on the other side with difficulty. He did not expect that the kneeling etiquette was still used in this era, which was simply a great hardship.

As for Yi Lian and the others, they were not used to kneeling, so they simply stood and acted as Li Ge's guards.

Li Ge, being very sensible, immediately cupped his hands and said, "My name is Cao Ge, courtesy name Ziyin. I am a wandering knight under the command of the Duke of Shanyang. My ancestors were a branch of the Cao family of Qiao County. However, the young Cao Pi weakened the imperial clan, causing my father's generation to almost starve to death. Fortunately, we received assistance from the Duke of Shanyang and his relative Cao Jie. My father was a minor official in the State of Shanyang. He passed away early in his life. We wandering knights volunteered to maintain order in the State of Shanyang. Later, we followed the army to aid in the conquest of Shu Han. Now, we are following in the footsteps of the Duke of Shanyang and wish to restore the Han Dynasty!"

Li Ge quickly recounted his life story and his purpose.

In short, although my surname is "Cao", I am a man of Liu Xie and I have come to support the Han Dynasty.

At that moment, Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi, and the others were all shocked.

Although their generation had little contact with Liu Xie, the foundation of Shu Han was the imperial uncle status granted to Liu Bei by Liu Xie, as well as Liu Xie's edict in the belt. It can be said that Liu Xie's significance to Shu Han was second only to Liu Bei.

Now, upon hearing that people from Liu Xie's side had come to help restore the Han Dynasty, and that they were even members of the Cao Wei imperial family, although their strength was limited, it still meant that the whole world was turning against the Sima clan. Several civil and military officials of Shu Han wept uncontrollably.

They did not doubt Li Ge, because the momentum of him charging straight into their midst last night, and the miraculous appearance of Guangwu, made them believe in Li Ge's identity.

After all, without their help, they would have been dead long ago. So these wandering knights wouldn't lie to them, otherwise what would they be after?

Furthermore, just by looking at Li Ge and his companions, they realized that even within the academy, their looks were top-notch. In this era, they were simply handsome and dignified.

Although it might seem like judging people by their appearance, this was almost the early Jin Dynasty, an era when people were judged by their appearance.

So these Shu Han generals, who had nothing left to lose, even if it meant deceiving themselves, they had to believe that what Li Ge said was true and risk everything.

When Jiang Wei heard that even now, Liu Xie's people were still willing to help them, the former emperor's ministers, he was deeply grateful. However, he sighed and said, "Because of my misfortune, Prince Liu died tragically in the chaos of war, and the brat Zhong Hui is already dead. We are like a lone boat; if we take one wrong step, we will be doomed forever."

The old general sighed deeply. More than thirty years had passed since Zhuge Liang's death and Jiang Wei's rise to power in Shu Han.

Even if we manage to complete the first step of the plan now, Zhong will die, and all subsequent plans will be ruined.

Jiang Wei still felt very sad at this time. He still couldn't see any hope for the restoration of Shu Han. He even resented his own lack of talent and learning. If the Prime Minister were here, he would definitely be able to restore Shu Han.

The other Shu officials also sighed, unsure of what to do next.

Li Ge took a deep breath and said, "General, I have a plan that can restore the Han Dynasty from darkness to light!"

At that moment, everyone, including Jiang Wei, looked at Li Ge with great surprise, and then at the old and frail Jiang Wei.

“You…” Jiang Wei stretched out his hand, then said excitedly, “Please speak quickly…”

Jiang Wei had already disregarded etiquette and was even rambling incoherently.

"This plan is called Blitzkrieg. We will strike Hanzhong at lightning speed, recapture Hanzhong, and then, from Baoxie Road, strike Chang'an!" Li Ge immediately pointed to the map and said.

Seeing the instant disappointment on their faces, Li Ge smiled and immediately explained, "The so-called blitzkrieg means launching an attack with these hundreds of thousands of Wei troops as quickly as possible. They will naturally be confused once they figure it out, but we will not give them time to figure it out. We will distribute all of Shu Han's money and provisions as rewards and immediately send troops to launch a blitzkrieg against Chang'an! We will catch Sima Zhao off guard!"

However, Jiang Wei's expression still betrayed his disappointment. He could only sigh deeply. At this moment, Zhang Yi said, "Young master, this plan is rather theoretical. Sima Zhao and his army have already blocked Hanzhong and Jiange. Even if we send troops, we will be trapped and die in Jiange, let alone Hanzhong and Chang'an!"

Not only Zhang Yi, but Jiang Wan's eldest son Jiang Bin also said: "Putting aside Sima Zhao's troops stationed at Jiange, His Majesty is still in Luoyang at this time. If we mobilize our troops, wouldn't we be putting His Majesty in danger? Moreover, we cannot control these hundreds of thousands of Wei troops."

Very well, the Shu Han side has raised the question, but Li Ge is not angry at all; instead, the corners of his mouth are turned up.

Yi Lian was already stunned, not to mention Valerie and Xiao Ye at this moment. Valerie even whispered to Xiao Ye, "That kid Li Ge is such a show-off!"

Hidden in the shadows, Xiao Ye listened silently to Li Ge's eloquent speech, a slight smile playing on her lips. This guy was just fooling people again.

Li Ge temporarily ignored these unreliable friends. The translation module automatically converted "Li Ge" to "ziyin", so at most it was just these wandering knights who were indulging in their recklessness.

He immediately pointed to the people behind him and said, "General, these are my companions from when I was a wandering knight. Each of them is an unparalleled master, each with their own unique skills and fighting spirit and patience that amazes everyone!"

Chapter 79 The Revival of Han!

“My brother Yilian has mastered Guiguzi’s art of disguise, allowing him to impersonate others so convincingly that even the person in question cannot tell the difference,” Li Ge said, pointing at Yilian. “If he were to disguise himself exactly like Sima Zhao, could that intimidate the Wei army?”

Yi Lian had a "Me?" expression, but at Li Ge's prompting, she immediately said, "Indeed, I can disguise myself as anyone."

Yi Lian naturally started with plain language, but it doesn't matter now, since they are just wandering knights after all, and speaking plain language is not a big problem for them.

“I have never seen any disguise technique that can make someone look exactly the same,” Jiang Bin said.

Li Ge told this Mr. Jiang to calm down and gave Yi Lian a wink.
