Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 417: More bad news (fourth update)

There was no problem with Zhuge Liang's plan. After the Bingzhou War began, Zhuge Liang stopped paying too much attention.

Huang Hansheng and Lei Tong went to Bingzhou to help in the war under the banner of their lord Liu Bei. On the one hand, they went to wipe out Xianbei, and at the same time, they moved some of the people in Bingzhou and subdued some of Xianbei's troops and forces.

On the other hand, it is to help Liu Bei regain his reputation in the northern land. After all, they will rest and recuperate for a long time in the future.

Fame will bring many unexpected benefits, such as the defection of talents, the praise of the people, and asking for a reward from the court in the future.
With the abilities of Huang Zhong and Lei Tong, they may not be able to achieve ground-breaking achievements, but it is not a big problem to act as a side force on the battlefield of Bingzhou and solve a few Xianbei tribes.

As for Xiutuge and Wuhuan among the Xiongnu, they naturally did not pay attention to them.

In addition, Ma Chao made a surprise attack on Danhan Mountain, so Zhuge Liang also didn't have to worry.

"Although Xianbei Tanshihuai established a royal court in Danhan Mountain back then, Tanshihuai has been dead for many years, and Xianbei is divided into pieces. Danhan Mountain is no longer what it was back then.

Going to Danhan Mountain at this time is far from being compared to the champion's surprise attack on the Huns' royal court, so the danger is not great, and of course, the gains will not be too much. "

Ma Chao didn't care about these rhetoric. What he cared about was that he found two guides who knew the way, and then headed towards Danhan Mountain with the banners of Ma Chao and Liu Bei.

"Today we set up the flag on Danhan Mountain, and tomorrow I will plant Han flags all over the northern border!"

Which general these days doesn't have the dream of sealing a wolf and living in Xu, and Ma Supernatural is no exception.

After handling these matters, Zhuge Liang began to borrow some war horses, cattle and sheep from the Di people in Wudu, and then used Xianyang as the handover, and made several transactions with Yang Fu and other wealthy families who migrated to Chang'an.

He used the exchanged grain, fodder, baggage, etc. to make up for the vacancy in his hands, so that this migration could continue.

Although Yang Fu would not give him armor, bows and crossbows, he was still very generous with food, cold protection, salt and other supplies.

With this hidden trade route, Zhuge Liang was finally able to develop stably and command more and more Di and Qiang Hu people to start a new life in Fufeng.

At this time, more than [-] people have migrated to Fufeng one after another. In addition to some Qiang and Hu Di people under Ma Chao's command at the beginning, there are also more than a dozen tribes, large and small, who were wiped out by him.

Finally, Ma Dai was invited from Wudu.

With more than [-] people, although Fufeng County is still extremely empty, it has gained some popularity, and the appearance of these people has made Zhuge Liang not so anxious about food and grass in two years.

"I heard that the Han River was dug. At this time, Hanzhong, Shangyong, Nanyang and even Jingbei were in chaos. Countless fertile fields were destroyed. Cheng Zhongde was really not afraid of God's punishment."

While governing Fufeng, Zhuge Liang finally got in touch with Chen Zhen and others who Liu Bei sent to look for him.

Although a full two months have passed, there is finally a connection and Zhuge Liang can make some arrangements.

"Now my lord will definitely not be able to send a large number of troops to enter, but I still need some help from my lord Liang."

"I would also like to ask for advice from the military advisor. Before we came here, the lord told us that the military advisor will contribute a lot in this battle, but we will grant whatever you ask for!" When Chen Zhen said this, he couldn't help but take a peek. Zhuge Liang glanced at him and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

However, at this time, Zhuge Liang was looking down at the letter Liu Bei wrote to him and the map beside him, and did not notice this.

"First of all, Liang needs the help of some people who govern the place. Now Longyou is not a big problem. Longyou County, Nan'an County, Anding, Tianshui and even Jincheng County all need virtuous people to govern.

In the future, Fufeng County will be dominated by Qiangdi people, which is even more important.

Liang needs to transfer Shi Tao and Meng Jian to Liangzhou, and at the same time needs General Wei Yan to enter Liangzhou. Of course Hanzhong is not that important now, and there is no need for Wei Yan to guard Hanzhong.We also need some officials."

Zhuge Liang talked for a long time and suddenly found that Chen Zhen didn't respond at all. Then he couldn't help but frown slightly. He looked up again and saw the somewhat dull Chen Zhen.

"Xiaoqi, what's wrong with you?"

"Military advisor." Chen Zhen seemed to be unable to bear some words at this time, but he really didn't know what to say.

"It seems that Xiao Qi has something that he hasn't told Liang yet." Kong Ming looked at Chen Zhen's troubled expression and couldn't help but chuckle, "Let's just say it straight, there are no outsiders here."

"Military advisor, your respect... your lady." Chen Zhen's lips began to tremble slightly, but the way he lowered his head made Zhuge Liang unable to see clearly.

That slightly depressing tone seemed to give Zhuge Liang a bad premonition.

"That's right. Yueying wrote to her before saying that Liang is going to be a father. I don't know if they are okay now."

"Please give me your condolences, military advisor!" Chen Zhen finally bowed to the end, closed his eyes tightly and spoke loudly to Zhuge Liang, "My lord and the traitor Cao were fighting in Hanzhong.

There is not enough food, fodder and military supplies, Badi is mountainous and the roads are difficult, and there is nothing we can do because the road is blocked.

In order not to let the army run out of food, fodder and supplies, the wife forcibly designed Liannu and wooden cows and horses in the official workshop, regardless of her pregnancy, for more than a month.

After these things were done, Madam. The fetus in Madam’s belly was no longer moving! "

After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he, himself and all the messengers behind him bowed to the end and did not dare to move for a long time.

They didn't know what kind of blow this news would be to Zhuge Liang, but they had to say it.

"Is Yueying okay?"

"My wife is fine, it's just the fetus."

"But is there anything else to say? From the look of you, it seems that there is more than just this one thing."

"The military advisor's younger brother Zhuge Hu died in the battle while stationed at Xinxi, as well as his younger brother Zhuge Zhugejun."

"What's wrong, third brother?" Zhuge Liang's voice was still calm, but his tone seemed a bit low.

"Zhuge Lieutenant accompanied the army to attack Runan. It was quite tiring to escort the grain, fodder and equipment. Later, Cao Mengde dug up the Han River and destroyed half of Jingzhou.

Lieutenant Zhuge Luotong was only able to control the water. He had little rest during the month, and rushed between Hanzhong and Jingzhou to make up for the flooding and collapse of the Han River as much as possible.

In the end, he died of illness on the road. "

The second reason why Liu Bei was so eager to find Zhuge Liang was that he didn't know how to face this military adviser.

In a great battle, the one with almost the greatest achievements in the end was almost left alone.
In a luxurious house in Badi, Yizhou, a young scribe wearing a brocade robe also looked at the tortoise shell and money in front of him, and finally let out a sigh.

"In the world, the way of yin and yang transformation is also between gain and loss. What a shame, what a shame."
