Episode 23

After careful planning, Yang Yi, Chen Gong and others finally determined the final action plan.Since Li Yan controlled a large number of troops, they had to convict him of treason and force him to leave on his own.Wei Yan has been responsible for transporting grain and grass, and will send a surprise army to raid the Wuxiandao camp to annihilate Huang Yu and others in one fell swoop.

Just as the plan was about to be implemented, Liu Ying masked herself and sneaked into Bieyuan's study, trying to obtain important information.However, she alerted the guards when she picked the lock on the box.In desperation, she cleverly poured kerosene on the wooden box, ignited the flames, and then jumped out of the window to escape.Li Yan originally expected to get news from Chen Gong that the dike had burst and grain and grass were flooded, but unexpectedly received the bad news that the study was burned down and the secret letter was burned.Looking at the letters turned to ashes, he realized that he had lost the opportunity to become famous.At this time, Liu Ying disappeared, leaving only the body of a maid. Li Yan immediately ordered a city-wide search and urgently recalled five thousand elites from Jiangzhou.

At the same time, Huang Yu received the signal from Zhulong at the river embankment, but he did not expect that it was the clarion call for the Shu army to attack.Huang Yu, who was attacked from both sides, realized that he had fallen into Chen Gong's trap, but it was too late.Chen Gong pulled out the sword that Zhai Yue left for him and fought Huang Yu to the death.Watching the sword gradually pierce Huang Yu's chest, Chen Gong finally avenged his wife.

On the other hand, Hu Zhong, who thought the plan was about to succeed, was drinking and celebrating with Cheng Fan, but was suddenly captured by Ma Dai and his guards.Ma Dai arrested Hu Zhong on the charge of assisting Li Yan in colluding with Cao Wei and intending to destroy grain and grass.Later, Yang Yi and Ma Dai turned around and returned to Nanzheng, preparing to close the net.At this time, Xunxu dragged his injured leg and struggled to crawl out of the dark cave. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the light of day again.

The panicked Li Yan hurriedly asked about the situation of Dashan Pass after seeing Chen Gong returning.Chen Gong deceived him by saying that the river embankment had been breached and the grain and grass were flooded, trying to make Li Yan believe that the plan had been successful.However, Li Yan told him that Feng Ying and Liu Ying were actually spies of Cao Wei, and that the burned box contained not only secret edicts but also printed documents of various generals.Now Li Yan has no way out.Ma Dai knew that Li Yan's soldiers and horses were powerful and suggested a quick battle, otherwise once he mobilized the elite three battalions, the outcome would be uncertain.Although Yang Yi is unwilling to start a war, he understands that the pressure must be sufficient.

At this time, Li Yan was as hard to make a decision as a headless fly.He neither wanted to give up the situation he had worked so hard to build, nor wanted to bear the reputation of treason.Seeing this, Chen Gong took a strong dose of medicine to remind Li Yan that there was no way out now.He suggested that Li Yan ride out of the city alone and take a detour through the cliff path to Chengdu to meet with His Majesty to express his true intentions, while he would sit in Nanzheng with military talismans to delay him.Faced with Chen Gong's plan, Li Yan burst into tears and finally decided to run away.

After Si Wencao Nei Pei Xu observed the civil war in the city, he learned that Xun Xu was asking him for help.The first thing Xun Xu did after regaining consciousness was to settle the score with Chen Gong.A catastrophe was about to disappear. Yang Yi led his army into Nanzheng and was relieved to see Chen Gong sitting upright. The counterintuitive plan finally succeeded.However, at this time, Xun Xu led Si Wen Cao's soldiers into Bieyuan and vowed to capture Chen Gong.Yang Yi lamented that Chen Gong's soft-heartedness left behind troubles. If the plot was revealed at this time, not only would Feng Ying's sacrifice be in vain, but a large number of people would die as a result.Faced with this situation, Chen Gong proposed his last plan to Yang Yi.
