Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 437 "Fear of Heights"

Xingyuan Mansion Hanzhong Nanzheng.

Wang Zhaoyuan lay on the bed with a downcast face. He already knew his new name: Zhuge Liang with juice.

Wang Zhaoyuan knew in his heart that this new name would be passed down in Shu and even in the Central Plains, and his name, Wang Zhaoyuan, would also "go down in history" because of it.

Look at the belt on the roof beam...

That's when his No.20 was tied up once, and every time he tied it up, he was moved with the will to die.

It is better to hang yourself to death than to live and be humiliated.

But every time he stepped on the stool and put his neck into the belt loop, his legs trembled involuntarily.

He made an excuse for himself... he is afraid of heights, so he is not suitable for hanging!

Wang Zhaoyuan didn't dare to think in the direction of death or not, thinking about the battle in Bashu.

I don't know what happened to the war?
There is Jianmen Pass in the land of Shu, so it should be able to resist the army of the Central Plains, right?
Procrastinating, procrastinating until the food and grass are exhausted, and the Central Plains is fighting on multiple fronts, maybe the army will retreat?
There was a trace of longing in Wang Zhaoyuan's eyes, if the Central Plains really couldn't support it, he would have the hope of living.

After all, he is in control of a huge secret, so it is impossible for Meng Xuanzhe not to save himself.

After the defeat, Ma Renyu wanted to take him to attack Lizhou at first.

But Wang Zhaoyuan was hit hard on the head, and he was in a trance because of the stimulation of the big defeat. Taking him seriously delayed the marching speed, so he was put under house arrest in Xingyuan Mansion.

Therefore, Wang Zhaoyuan, who was in Xingyuan Mansion, didn't know what was happening on the front line, and he didn't even know that Luo Youdu came from the east line.

From his strategic point of view, the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains must be stuck at the sword gate of the natural danger.

The Jianmen Pass cannot be breached by manpower, and the small flaws have been sealed long ago.

Even though the Central Plains soldiers are elite and powerful, they can only look at the pass and sigh when they encounter Jianmen Pass.

While thinking wildly, Wang Zhaoyuan suddenly heard hurried footsteps.

His expression changed, and he hurriedly tore off his belt. He didn't want others to know his inner fragility.

Liu Wensou strode into the house, looked at Wang Zhaoyuan who looked a little flustered, and said with a smile, "Brother Kong Liang, how is it?"

Wang Zhaoyuan knew someone, the newly appointed Xingyuan Mansion Chief Shi.

The newly promoted top leader in Hanzhong came to visit him as soon as he took office, which gave him enough face.

But Wang Zhaoyuan held it in his hands, put on airs, and spoke sarcasticly.

It's the same now, Wang Zhaoyuan said: "As a prisoner, how can I talk about it?"

Liu Wensou didn't take it seriously. If it was a general like Ma Renyu, he would have slapped him long ago.

But literati have the way of literati.

Liu Wensou is a descendant of Liu Zhenghui, one of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty and one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.His great-uncle Liu Chongwang served as prime minister during the Tang Zhaozong period.His father, Liu Yue, served as Taichangqing of the later Tang Dynasty.

Liu Wensou lives in a family of officials, he is thick and upright, with a magnificent bearing.

In the face of Wang Zhaoyuan's sarcastic remarks, he was not angry, but said kindly: "In the affairs of the world, how can you judge a hero by success or failure? Brother Kong Liang's masterpiece, I have read it in Bianjing. Especially for the annotations of "Shangshu", I can't put it down. We have been friends for a long time."

Wang Zhaoyuan's expression softened a little.

This Wang Zhaoyuan was able to break into today's fame from a young lonely and poor boy, and there are certain merits.

His literary skills are extremely solid, and because of this, Meng Chang has reused him and entrusted him with the task of teaching the prince.

Wang Zhaoyuan still put on airs and said: "I have heard of Liu Yongling's name before. It's just that you and I have our own decisions, so we should avoid suspicion."

According to his estimation, it must be that the army of the Central Plains had nothing to do with Jianmenguan, which made Liu Wensou look for opportunities from himself.

Therefore, he has maintained his reputation of loyalty and is up for sale.

If the conditions given by the Central Plains are generous, it is not impossible to help Luo destroy Meng.

It's just that the name of betraying the master has to be won at a high price.

Anyway, Wang Zhaoyuan was not in a hurry, the danger of Jianmen Pass was unparalleled in the world, he didn't believe in Zhong Yuan's strength, so he broke through Jianmen Pass and entered.

Liu Wensou secretly laughed, in fact, he had heard of Wang Zhaoyuan's behavior these days.

To be friendly with him is to get out the bargaining chips in his hand.

Liu Wensou always found it strange that Meng Xuanzhe didn't have any words of criticism when Wang Zhaoyuan lost his teacher and lost his land, which caused Meng Shu to fall into defeat.

Even though Wang Zhaoyuan became the target of public criticism in the temple, Meng Xuanzhe did not say harsh words.

On the contrary, Wang Zhaoyuan was excused from time to time, which is an extremely rare situation.

Liu Wensou said with a calm smile: "It doesn't matter if Meng Shu dies soon, brother Kong Liang doesn't want to die with the Meng family?"

Wang Zhaoyuan's expression changed suddenly, and then he recovered, and said calmly: "Don't lie to me, it's only been a few days? Even if you take Lizhou and face Jianmen Pass, what can you do?"

Liu Wensou shook his head regretfully: "Brother Kong Liang's wishful thinking of selling for a price is a miscalculation. Let's tell the truth like Brother Kong Liang said. From the very beginning, it was a bureau set up by the court. His Majesty sent troops to crusade against the Southern Han Dynasty, just to hide it. Go south The food dispatched by the Ma Army was prepared for the destruction of Shu. When you were defeated, Your Majesty had already broken through the Three Gorges and entered Sichuan from Jingxiang. Now the army is passing through Suizhou and approaching Chengdu."

"As for Gao Dutong, he bypassed Jianmen Pass from Su Xiaodao, and now he is also going to Mianzhu and Chengdu."

"Two armies, more than [-], even if the soldiers encircle Chengdu."

He was obviously exaggerating, but not too exaggerated.

This time the Central Plains sent [-] troops, but the Shu soldiers could not help fighting.

As a result, Luo Youdu and Gao Huaide's soldiers and horses fought more and more, adding up to [-].

Wang Zhaoyuan's eyes were lost.

Liu Wensou said: "Today, I came here to tell brother Kong Liang about the situation of the war. I want you to think about it earlier. Once His Majesty takes Chengdu, you will have no chance to turn around."

Wang Zhaoyuan stepped back and finally sat down on the bed.

Liu Wensou shook his head in disappointment, and stopped talking.

Wang Zhaoyuan stared blankly at his leaving back, his mind was in a mess.

In the evening, the servants brought meals.

The two servants who delivered the food put down the food box and left, and the laughter of "Zhuge Liang with juice" came faintly from outside the house.

Wang Zhaoyuan was startled suddenly, as if his reputation was already stinky enough, why would he be afraid of getting even more stinky?
It's better to change some money and things, hide your name, and go away.

He strode out of the house, and the guarding soldiers immediately became alert.

Wang Zhaoyuan yelled: "I want to see Mr. Liu Wen, I have something important to tell!!"

Facing Liu Wensou, Wang Zhaoyuan explained in detail how Meng Xuanzhe besieged the Huoyan Palace, and how he remonstrated with Meng Chang, intending to force his father to abdicate.

Of course, he concealed the fact that he contributed to the flames, and regarded himself as a cooperating innocent insider, and did not participate in it.

Liu Wensou knew the tricks in it, although he was a little contemptuous in his heart, he didn't care about it.

It's not surprising that it's not surprising in this era that the following restraints are on the top, not to mention Meng Chang's extravagance is well known.

Meng Xuanzhe forced his father to abdicate, which is nothing in this era.

However, under the current situation, knowing the news has a different meaning.

Liu Wensou immediately left Wang Zhaoyuan behind and spread the news of Meng Xuanzhe's father's murder to the front.
