Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 112 I, Zhuge Wende, am not a poisonous person!

It is already February in Yangchun in Xiangyang, and the grass is growing and orioles are flying.

The courtyard of the Military Advisor's Mansion is even more like a large garden, with lush branches on the tent tree stand, forming a green tree-lined passage.On the flower shelves against the walls on the left and right sides, there are dozens of pots of flowers and trees of various colors arranged side by side, with shiny green branches and leaves.

Under the ancient locust tree in the courtyard, Zhuge Ming, Zhuge Liang, and Ma Liang were sitting around a small table, talking about Jingzhou's military, horse and government affairs and other matters.

Although it had only been more than a month since he took over Jingzhou, Zhuge Ming issued thirty political orders in a row. The public security in Jingzhou was stable, the people lived in peace, and the business was restored.The clans in Jingzhou gradually surrendered. They had long since given up their intention of surrendering to Cao Cao and supported Liu Bei wholeheartedly.Be united and vigorous.

"Since Cai Mao came to power, Jingzhou's government has been in decline. The people are alienated from morality and live in dire straits. Because of this, I have been living in seclusion and refused to serve as an official."

"It's not until today that Uncle Liu is in charge of Jingzhou and assisted by military advisors. Only then has Jingzhou seen the light of day again and regained its glory!"

Ma Liang lived in Jingzhou for a long time and witnessed the prosperity and decline of Jingzhou for many years. He was filled with emotion and sighed.

"The people are the most important, the country is the second most important thing, and the king is the least important. To rule the world, you must first rule the people. The reason why Cai Mao fell was because he did not know how to care for the people. All the citizens of Jingzhou were willing to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin. Even if there was no one, Uncle Liu Huang, Cai Mao will die sooner or later."

Zhuge Ming poured out the first pot of tea, poured it into another pot, poured it for Zhuge Ming and Ma Liang respectively, and said lightly.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly stood up, bowed his waist, took the tea handed over by Zhuge Ming, and said with a smile: "Putting the cart before the horse, Cai Mao only cared about his fellow clans and bought the hearts of the upper class, and never cared about the life and death of the common people. But in the end, all the clans also He parted ways and abandoned them like grass."

"Isn't this the biggest joke in the world!"

Ma Liang laughed, but suddenly, a trace of sadness floated on his eyebrows.

"If there had been no war in the north, it would only take one year for Jingzhou to reach its former glory. Unfortunately, the Cao thieves seized power and used the name of the emperor to conscript violently and use troops everywhere. Now a million troops are fighting fiercely in Fancheng. I am really worried. Zi Long……"

Zhao Yun went to Fancheng with [-] soldiers and horses, and he had to hold out for fifteen days.Counting now, it has been seventeen days.Three days ago, Meng Huo's troops and horses were transferred from Chibi to Fancheng via waterway, which solved an urgent need.

However, it is still uncertain whether the Nanman soldiers can defeat Cao Cao's 50-strong army.

But everyone knew in their hearts that even though the southern barbarian soldiers were extremely fierce, they were still outnumbered and in danger. If they wanted to win a big victory, they would have to pay a heavy price!

The Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo came out to help him with all his strength. If all his wealth was wiped out, he might not be able to return to the Southern Barbarian land!

Just because the land is uncivilized and uncivilized, all relationships are based on strength!

Meng Huo was able to become close friends with Yang Feng, King Duosi, King Mulu, Tuwu Gu, etc. It was also because Meng Huo was the most powerful. The cave masters of other caves admired his prestige and feared his soldiers and horses!
"I think at this moment, Zilong has followed the plan and performed a wonderful show with Meng Huo!"

Zhuge Ming smiled slightly, took out a letter from his sleeve and put it on the table.

Zhuge Liang became curious, stretched out his hand, touched it in his palm, and opened it to see that it was the copy of the tip bag that was sent to Zhao Yun half a month ago. The date of signing was the date of the Xiangyang Conference fifteen days ago.

Ma Liang saw a look of shock on Kong Ming's face. For some reason, he got up and came behind Zhuge Liang to watch together.

Both of them were shocked and stood there for a long time.

The letter not only predicted that Cao Cao would not be able to go to Fancheng, but would besieged.It was even predicted that on the day Meng Huo arrived, Cao Cao would definitely take the opportunity to launch another attack.

The Southern Barbarian King will win by surprise and win!
It's just the following tips and tricks that are the focus, and it's also the strategy that Zhao Yun is ordered to implement immediately!

Taking advantage of Cao Ying's envoys to lobby for surrender, so and so...

"Brother, Liang has something unclear."

"The Southern Barbarian King's vine-armored soldiers, in the Xiang camp, are surprisingly powerful. If their cunning plot is foiled and their fate hangs in the hands of the enemy, I'm afraid they won't be able to exert their effectiveness."

Zhuge Liang slowly folded the letter neatly, put it into the envelope, and said with a frown.

Zhuge Ming said nothing and signaled Kong Ming to continue speaking.

"The King of the Southern Barbarians traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly to come to his aid. Why didn't my brother let him make great achievements, but instead revealed the lifeblood of the Southern Barbarian soldiers to Cao Cao? This is not conducive to our victory in Jingzhou, and it is also unfair to Meng Huo!"

"If the southern barbarian soldiers suffer losses because of this, how can I feel at ease..."

Ma Liang also nodded, expressing his deep support for Kong Ming's views.

"The King of the Southern Barbarians won the battle and wiped out one hundred thousand of his elites in one battle. Such combat power is unbelievable! If we take advantage of the victory and pursue it, it is not impossible to drive Cao Cao out of Jingzhou."

"Why didn't the military advisor want to make progress, but instead abandoned his martial arts skills and revealed the essence of the Southern Barbarian King to Cao Cao's envoy?"

"If Cao Cao learns of this secret and launches a massive invasion, not only will he be unable to defend Fancheng, but he will also trap Meng Huo's troops in Fancheng."

After Zhuge Ming waited for the two of them to finish speaking, he suddenly turned to look at them: "Do you know who the envoy Cao Cao sent to persuade Meng Huo to surrender and turn against him?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head. His mind was quick and he knew what he knew immediately. What he didn't know, he still didn't know even if he thought hard for three days and nights.

Ma Liang was a little slow and tried to say: "When I was in Jingzhou, I remembered that there was a man named Jiang Qian who used to serve Sun Quan in Jiangdong. He once brought heavy gifts to the southern barbarians as an envoy and visited Meng Huo to make good friends. This person was Zhou Yu's classmate. After his return, he was jealous of Zhou Yu's high-ranking officials and hated Sun Quan's unfair treatment. He left Jiangdong and joined Cao Cao's account. However, he was not allowed to be reused for many years and only became a guest."

"Could it be this person?"

Zhuge Ming nodded: "In Ji Chang's opinion, how does Jiang Gan look like?"

Ma Liang said firmly: "This person is extremely conceited and acts erratically. Although he is talented and learned, his words are exaggerated."

Zhuge Ming laughed loudly, shook his folding fan, reached out and picked a locust leaf from the branch above his head, and said calmly: "Although I used Meng Huo's hand to reveal the secrets of the three southern barbarian armies to Jiang Qian. But according to Jiang Qian, You are so conceited and smart that you will never tell Cao Cao the truth!"

"So the secret that Cao Cao heard is no longer a secret!"

Ma Liang's expression changed, and he bowed down and said, "A military advisor knows people and enemies, and his plans are unpredictable. The world is unpredictable. I bow to you!"

Zhuge Liang seemed to have realized something, and nodded slowly: "Cao Cao is suspicious. No matter whether the information is true or not, my brother's plan will probably make him afraid to attack easily for the time being!"

Zhuge Ming stood up and said, "Cao Cao will retreat from Wancheng soon."

"But why can't the military advisor take advantage of this opportunity to let Meng Huo take the initiative to expand the results of the battle?"

"God-given opportunity, but my brother suddenly hesitated to move forward. Wouldn't it be a waste of the sharpness of Meng Huo's 20 Nanman cavalry?"

"One burst of momentum will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted. When we go to war at this time, our morale is at its peak. It is difficult not to win the battle!"

Although Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang understood Zhuge Ming's plan, they didn't know why they did it.

Zhuge Ming sighed and did not answer them directly. Instead, he walked slowly, took a few steps forward, and looked up at the vast blue sky.

A gust of wind blew up, blowing the streamers of his cloth. Standing in the wind, Zhuge Ming suddenly felt an inexplicable loneliness and desolation.

"The map of Zeguo Jiangshan entering the war, the life of the people is Leqiao Su.

Relying on Junmo's words to seal the affairs of the princes, one will succeed in a thousand bones.

It is rumored that in the first World War a hundred gods were worried, and the strong troops on both sides of the strait had not stopped.

Who knows that the Cangjiang River will always be fine, and there has been a bloody struggle recently. "

Zhuge Ming put the folding fan on his back and suddenly chanted loudly. His voice was sad and sad, which made people moved.

According to Jun Mo's words to seal the marquis' affairs, one general will succeed in ten thousand bones!

It turns out that the military advisor is not obsessed with achievements, but has clearly seen that behind great achievements, there is endless killing and death!

Even in his heart, he was tired of war and looked forward to peace...

"military adviser……"

"Brother..."

Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang looked at each other, each feeling ashamed. Looking at Zhuge Ming who was standing upright, they were speechless and didn't know what to say.

"I'm just grieving, whether it's the soldiers from the north or the soldiers from the southern barbarians in Jingzhou!"

"I don't like killing, I don't like war. But most of the time, war can only be ended with war!"

There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in Zhuge Ming's words.

Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang suddenly realized!

It turns out that the military advisor has always cared about the people and all living beings in his heart.In the battle of Fancheng, we will not fight side by side, and we hope to reduce casualties as much as possible.

This battle was done out of necessity!
Xuchang, in the palace.

At this moment, Emperor Xian Liu Xie only cared about fishing and playing every day, fighting with Empress Fu and the maids in the palace every day, looking like he knew life and death and was enjoying himself.

But in private, life is like a year, sitting on pins and needles!
The life and death of the Han Dynasty is at stake. If we can seize this opportunity to get rid of Cao Cao's control, and then call on the wise people in the world to gather with King Qin, then the Han Dynasty will be prosperous and the Han Dynasty will be prosperous!

Another morning.

Liu Xie had breakfast and sat in the inner palace with Queen Fu. According to the previous agreement, today was the time for the head of state to enter the palace after Fu.

The palace was closed and there was no communication between the inside and outside. It was because Fuwan went to the palace every Monday or Saturday in the name of visiting his daughter, Queen Fu, to get the news.

Today happens to be the eleventh.

Sure enough, not long after, Fu Wan came in a hurry with a food box in his hand. The moment he entered the inner palace, his face finally couldn't suppress a trace of joy.

"Zhang Guozhang, what's going on outside now?"

Liu Xie stood up nervously, took a few hurried steps, reached out to hold Fu Wan's arm, and Queen Fu on the other side hurriedly took the food box from his father's hand.

There was nothing else in the food box, just a few exquisite side dishes made by his mother, Mrs. Fu.In order to avoid embarrassment, Fu Wan also turned the door to deal with the interrogation of the palace gate guards. Every time he entered the palace, he had to bring it with him.As long as the food box is carried, the guards will conduct a cursory inspection before letting it go. But if it is empty-handed, they will search all over the body, legs, crotch, and armpits.

"Your Majesty, things are not bad. If things continue to develop like this, it will be just around the corner!"

Fu Wan did not forget the understanding between monarch and minister, and hurriedly broke away from Liu Xie's hand. Instead, he helped his son-in-law sit on the embroidered couch, and then respectfully performed the courtesy of monarch and minister before saying.

"How about the specific details? Please tell me quickly!"

Liu Xie couldn't suppress his excitement and excitement on his face, and he couldn't wait to say it.He suffered too much contempt and oppression from Cao Cao, and he was struggling to survive every day. In order to get rid of Cao Cao's shackles, he would not hesitate to die together with Cao Cao!

"Father, Your Majesty! I will go out first. You guys talk here."

Empress Fu stood up, carrying the food box, and pretended to go to the kitchen, but in fact she turned around and returned, quietly hiding behind the courtyard pillar to guard her father and Liu Xie.

Cao Cao's eyes were spread in every corner of the capital, and there were many people in the palace. Even the maids and attendants who accompanied him day and night could not be trusted, let alone allowed.

"In the past few days, Xun Yu spread rumors that Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops back to Wancheng to hold Xiliang's key point on the way to Xuchang. He wanted to frighten Ma Chao and make him return to the army."

Fu Wan sat across from Liu Xie and whispered.

Liu Xie's color changed: "Xun Lingjun is very resourceful, which is why Cao Cao ordered him to guard Xuchang. In terms of resourcefulness, Ma Chao is far from his opponent!"

Fu Wan smiled slightly, but was not as nervous as Liu Xie: "Because Ma Chao is simple-minded and young and energetic, he doesn't have so many worries. He originally wanted to attack Xuchang and cut off the retreat of Cao's thieves. Now I hear When Cao Cao's thieves returned to the army and were stationed outside Xuchang, they became more determined to defeat Cao Cao in a battle. They marched steadily and meanderingly. They had already passed Xi'an three days ago, and I'm afraid they will be approaching the city soon!"

Liu Xie was worried, shook his head, frowned and said: "Although Ma Mengqi is as brave as Lu Bu, he does not have Chen Gong to help him. Now that the light troops are coming, I am afraid that if they really confront Cao's thieves in two formations, the West Liang Junma is no match for Cao Cao..."

Fu Wan laughed in a low voice and waved his hand: "Cao Cao has been fighting fiercely with Zhao Yun in Fancheng for several days now, but there is no progress at all. I am afraid that he is unable to advance or retreat. What Ma Chao faces here is not the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of Cao thieves. It's just Xun Yu's thousands of wandering warriors in Xuchang. And there are no generals in Xuchang, how can they hold on!"

"And besides that, there's some good news!"

Liu Xie's eyes lit up, a hint of surprise flashed through him, and he asked in surprise: "What does the state leader mean...?"

"Liu Zhang of Yizhou seems to be making some noise too. Although we don't know whether it's true or not, I'm afraid it will also disturb Xuchang to some extent."

Liu Xie sighed softly, glanced at the palace gate subconsciously, and frowned: "I, Liu Zhang, the uncle of the Emperor of Yizhou, are cowardly by nature. I only want to protect myself and have no ambitions. I'm afraid I won't use troops..."

While the two were talking, Empress Fu suddenly opened the door in panic, came to Liu Xie panting, and said urgently: "The patrol officer of the Prime Minister's Palace has entered the palace. Please finish it as soon as possible, father and majesty." , to avoid trouble.”

Liu Xie's face suddenly changed, and he sighed helplessly: "The captains who patrol the city can walk freely in my palace! What kind of world is this! Thief Cao has bullied me too much! I wish I could die together with this thief. Go to hell!"

Fu Wan hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Sooner or later, Ma Chao will invade Xuchang, and Liu Xuande will also have a great victory in Jingzhou. At that time, Cao's thieves are in trouble and they are besieged on all sides. It's time for your Majesty to take revenge!"

Liu Xie's expression improved slightly, and he sighed and said, "I hope it is as the abbot said. The abbot is also doing a lot of work outside. The more chaotic Xuchang is at the moment, the more likely it is to alienate Cao's thieves, which will be beneficial to Ma Chao and Liu Xuande's use of troops."

After commanding the leader, he said goodbye again: "Your Majesty, you have been waiting so long, don't be anxious, everything is on me. I have spread a lot of rumors in Xuchang, and now Xuchang is like a pot of rotten porridge."

Then he turned to Queen Fu and told Queen Fu: "Take good care of Your Majesty and don't be careless. My family has been favored by the emperor for generations. I was born as a man of the Han Dynasty and died as the ghost of the Han Dynasty."

Queen Fu promised again and again.

After Fu finished his instructions, he hurriedly got up, turned to the back hall, and found a path out of the palace.

……

At Xun Lingjun's residence.

Although it only took more than ten days, Xun Yu had already lost a lot of weight compared to before.

Xun Yu was originally a well-known handsome man, with a very majestic appearance. He was the most outstanding for a while. People all over the world described him as "Xun Ling Liuxiang".

But at this time, Xun Yu was haggard, with a skinny face and a stooped figure. Although he was only in his 40s, his long-term high-load and intensive work had still made him age prematurely, and his hair was as white as snow.

The night is deep, and the early spring night is still slightly cool.

Xun Yu, who was working endlessly on the table, could not help but sweat dripping down his forehead at this moment. Xun Yu was like an old farmer under the scorching sun. He put a towel around his neck, and every once in a while, he would roll up the towel. Wipe a handful of sweat.

Working all night long has made him weak.

"Your Majesty Xun, the Crown Prince Cao Pi has arrived!"

The servant of the mansion came to the door, gently knocked on the door knocker, and whispered.

"Let him in!"

Xun Yu picked up the towel again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then took off the towel and put it on the back of the back chair.

"Junior, I pay my respects to Mr. Xun Ling!"

Not long after, Cao Pi, wearing armor all over his body and holding a sword on his waist, pushed open the door and entered.

He was responsible for the security work of Xuchang city defense, patrolling the city on horseback day and night. He had just returned from the outer city, so he did not have time to go back to his hometown to change clothes, so he came directly to Xun Lingjun's house to resume his orders.

"Your Majesty, what is the situation in Xuchang City today?"

Xun Yu slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on Cao Pi, who was wearing military uniform.There was a hint of fatigue and weariness in his voice.

"It was rumored in the city that Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry traveled day and night and could reach Xuchang in only three days. Liu Zhang of Yizhou also sent Zhang Ren and Yan Yan with 30 Sichuan troops to rush to Xuchang."

Cao Pi's face turned pale. Although he was very strategic and scheming, with Xuchang's weak military strength, trying to divide his troops to resist the combined attack of Ma Chao and Yizhou was tantamount to wishful thinking and had no chance of success.

"The noble families in the city have been secretly moving away. They want to flee to Jizhou to avoid the sharp edge. They have been unable to stop it for the past few days..."

Cao Pi took off his helmet, held it in his palm, and said helplessly.

Xun Yu nodded, then shook his head: "Ma Chao is brave and good at fighting, and the young generals under his subordinates are also aggressive. The news that I spread a few days ago about the Prime Minister's return to the army has no effect at all. Ma Chao has already decided to fight the Prime Minister. Determination."

"As for Liu Zhang of Yizhou. I don't believe he has the courage to send troops to attack Xuchang. Although Yizhou is rich, Liu Zhang is weak. His management has been poor for many years and his soldiers are scattered. Although there are famous generals, Zhang Lu is eyeing him in the north, so he will not He would put his own safety aside in order to respond to Ma Chao!"

Cao Pi scratched his scalp irritably: "What Xun Lingjun said is very reasonable, but the people in the city did not have the wisdom. When they heard the news about Yizhou's soldiers and horses, they believed it to be true. They were already panic-stricken, and now they were even more confused. Now the whole of Xuchang is in chaos! If Ma Chao's soldiers and horses really attack, I'm afraid Xuchang won't even be able to defend it for three days!"

Xun Yu sighed and said helplessly: "The people are stupid and spreading lies, which is even more outrageous. I'm afraid there are only about 2000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou. It's just a bluff!"

"General You, in charge of the troops in the capital, must do a good job in maintaining order. The people can be in chaos, but you and I cannot. The prime minister's great cause cannot be destroyed in the hands of you and me. Anyone who escapes from the city must be severely punished once found. Do Killing once will serve as a warning to hundreds, and small punishments will lead to big warnings. If a trend develops and people rush out of the city to escape, Xuchang will instantly turn into an empty city, making it even harder to guard..."

Xun Yu's men had no soldiers and no generals. At this moment, they were exhausted and could not stand alone.

Cao Pi nodded, looked at Xun Yu's tired look, and said with concern: "All important matters in the imperial court depend on Xun Lingjun alone. I hope you can take good care of your health, serve the imperial court, and share the worries of the prime minister."

Xun Yu frowned, nodded, and waved his hand: "It's getting late, why don't you go down and have a rest."

Cao Pi accepted his promise, paid his respects to Xun Yu, and did not mention it when he returned home.
