Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 130 Xuchang makes waves again
Zhuge Ming did not help Kong Ming up, but turned his back to Kong Ming with his hands behind his back, ignoring him at all.

The dignified Wolong knelt down behind Zhuge Ming and remained silent.

Seeing this, Ma Liang couldn't remain silent. He took two steps forward, walked behind Zhuge Ming, bowed and saluted, and said: "Military advisor, Mr. Kong Ming said it was Xun Yu's plan to alienate people. Now it seems that it is true. This plan, Not only do you want to alienate the relationship between the military advisor and the lord, but you also want to alienate and cut off the relationship between your brothers, which is not a bad thing!"

"Ma Liang is originally an outsider and cannot say much, but the military advisor has the kindness to raise and teach Mr. Wolong. He is also a teacher, a friend, a brother and a father. If Kong Ming has something wrong, he can advise and teach him, but he must not be obsessed with Xun. Yu’s plan separated the two of you in life.”

Zhuge Ming slowly turned around and came to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang knelt down and did not dare to look up at his clan brother.

When he was young, his elder brother Zhuge Ming raised and taught him and his younger brother Zhuge Jun. When his elder brother Zhuge was born, he was also very serious and severely punished every mistake he made.It is precisely because of his brother's strict supervision that he has achieved the achievements and achievements he has today.

But time has passed, and he has grown into Zhuge Wolong, who is famous in China and worshiped by the world, and is the best counselor in the world.And after many years of separation, his brother Zhuge Ming never scolded him like before.

"Kong Ming, I don't blame you, but I want you to know. In the affairs of the world, emotion should not be used at the expense of wisdom. Your ingenuity is unparalleled in the world, but if you are trapped by love, you will appear dull. Friendship is one of them. one."

"Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan and the other three may not necessarily not have true feelings for you. But your intelligence is higher than theirs, which is why he hates you! In the world, there are many people who are angry and others who are laughing. You are better than him, On the surface, he is envious and admirable, but in fact he hopes that you will die soon. If you die, they will be number one!"

Zhuge Liang knelt on the ground, trembling with fear as he listened.He studied since he was a child, and later lived in seclusion in Wollongong, where he worked hard and studied hard. Most of the people he made friends with were simple and friendly people, or close friends. He was aware of the intrigues of time and had few contacts, but he did not expect that human relationships are so sinister.
"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. In the future, you should be more worldly and less pedantic. Otherwise, you will suffer again in the future. By that time, I will not be able to save you!"

Zhuge Ming said kindly and patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder gently.

Seeing the military advisor's gentle attitude and calm expression, Ma Liang knew that the matter was over and hurriedly stepped forward to help Kong Ming up.

"military adviser!"

"Military advisor! Haha!"

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in front of the palace gate, followed by the neighing of two war horses. Liu Bei jumped off his horse and walked in happily, just in time to see the scene in the courtyard.

"This……"

Liu Bei was stunned and pointed at Zhuge Liang who was kneeling on the ground. He blinked and stared at the military advisor Zhuge Ming.

"No big deal, just teach the younger generation a lesson."

Zhuge Ming smiled faintly and motioned to Ma Liang to help Kong Ming up and stand aside.

"What happened? I don't think this is a fight. Military advisor, if something happens to you, just tell me and don't hide it from me."

Liu Bei had been in the world for a long time, and his eyelashes were all empty. When he saw the behavior and expressions of Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang, he knew that something unusual must have happened in the military advisor's house.

The more Zhuge Ming said there was nothing wrong, the more he wanted to ask and find out.

"Lord, this is a letter I recently received. I just read it to the two of them. You should also read it."

Zhuge Ming walked a few steps forward, picked up the letter from Xun Yu from the table, and handed it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was stunned, reached out and took it, gently opened it and started reading from the beginning.

"My lord, this is Cao Cao's thief's plan to alienate people. He saw that the military advisor was governing Jingzhou in an orderly and orderly manner without any chaos. So he wanted to create a barrier between the lord and the military advisor. If the top and bottom are disloyal, Jingzhou will not be stable."

Ma Liang was afraid that Liu Bei would be too preoccupied. When he put down the letter in his hand, he hurriedly stepped forward to take it and explained eagerly.

Zhuge Liang also took a step forward, lightly patted the dust on his clothes, and said with a face full of shame: "It's all my fault at this time. If my lord is to blame, just punish Kong Ming."

Only Zhuge Ming didn't seem to care. He remained as calm as water and stood there quietly, as if he had something else on his mind.

"Military advisor, you have suffered so many injustices in Jingzhou..."

After Liu Bei was silent for a long time, he did not mention the letter again. Instead, he spoke to Zhuge Ming with some sympathy.

"Lord, if Kong Ming hadn't been so gullible, Xun Yu wouldn't have known about these things. Everything is Kong Ming's fault."

Zhuge Liang had unparalleled intelligence in his life, and this was the first time he was taken advantage of. Not only did he feel disappointed, but he was also ashamed. If Zhuge Ming or Liu Bei could reprimand him loudly, he would feel much more at ease.Now that neither of them was harsh on him, he was at a loss as to what to do and felt uneasy.

Zhuge Ming smiled slightly and shook his head slowly, as if he didn't want to discuss this topic with Liu Bei.

He has revenged, forgiven, forgiven and cared about the harm done to him by the Jingzhou clan.But these things are all his own business and have nothing to do with Jingzhou.

"Xun Yu wanted to send our army senior brother to serve in Xudu. He was so popular that it was rare in the world. Cao Cao used the emperor to order the princes. The so-called imperial edict was just a casual one and did not represent the emperor's intention at all."

"If the emperor really wanted to, I'm afraid he wouldn't want Zhuge's military advisor to enter Xuchang and help the tyrants. As long as the military advisor and the lord are in Jingzhou, Cao Cao will be on pins and needles in Xuchang, and he won't dare to do anything to the emperor. But if the lord is defeated and the military advisor enters the capital, I'm afraid Cao Cao's thieves will be unscrupulous. Killing the emperor and usurping rebellion may not be impossible!"

Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang discussed each other, guessing Cao Cao's tricks and intentions.

"Ha ha!"

Liu Bei frowned and pondered slightly, then suddenly laughed loudly.

Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang looked at each other, wondering why their lord was so wild?

"The military advisor and I are aware of the danger. Without the military advisor, I, Liu Bei, would have died in the hands of Cao Cao's thieves when I was in Xinye. I am the military advisor, and the military advisor is me. There is no distinction between the two."

"I treat the military advisor with the same sincerity and will never change. I also believe that the military advisor will not abandon me."

Liu Bei suddenly turned around and walked up to Zhuge Ming. His eyes were shining brightly. He looked straight at Zhuge Ming and said categorically: "I don't have Cao Cao's ability to hold the emperor hostage. I can only treat him with sincerity! The grievances of the military advisor." , I already know everything. I will hand over all the troops and horses in Jingzhou to the hands of the military advisor at this moment. To show my unsuspecting heart!"

While Liu Bei was speaking, he suddenly took out his bag, took out the seal and ribbon from the Prefect's Mansion, and put it in Zhuge Ming's hand. "If I am worthy of assistance, the military advisor can assist me, and we can achieve great things together. If I am ignorant and incompetent and cannot be used in a big way, the military advisor can demote me to the rank and file of the people, and you can take it upon yourself!"

Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang were shocked, standing on one side, dumbfounded!

It should be noted that Liu Bei always had great ambitions and worked hard for half his life to achieve the bleak foundation of the Jingxiang County. Now, in order to stabilize Zhuge's military advisor and show his trust, he did not hesitate to hand over the power of troops and horses! ,

Zhuge Ming laughed, weighed the seal ribbon in his hand, put it into Liu Bei's hand again, and said with a calm smile: "I have no use for it. Please keep it, my lord. If your lord can govern benevolently and love the people, then That's enough. I want nothing more!"

Liu Bei was so excited that he had tears in his eyes: "The military advisor cares about the world and cares about the people. He never forgets his love for the people. How can I dare to forget it every day?"

Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang had a private discussion and said: "The military advisor asked for orders for the people and was appointed as military advisor. If he acts for power, I am afraid he will not be established in Jingzhou."

"One military advisor made fun of Cao Cao's five great advisers. He defeated Jiangdong's civil and military forces in a joke. If it was for utilitarianism, he would no longer be under Cao Cao!"

……

Jiangdong.

In the main hall of Wuhou Palace.

Gu Yong held a scouting report from Jingzhou and went out to say: "My lord, Cao Cao's subordinate Xun Lingjun wrote a letter to Jingzhou a few days ago to lobby Zhuge Wende, hoping to get him to become an official in Beijing and serve the emperor!"

Sun Quan's expression changed, and the document in his hand fell on the table. He stood up, holding the table with both hands, staring at Gu Yong with his eyes open and asked: "What happened next, how did this matter end?"

Gu Yong smiled softly and said warmly: "My lord, there is no need to be nervous. General Zhuge Wende did not reply to the letter to his subordinates, nor did he take any action. It seems that Cao Cao's plan did not work!"

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard with his hand, nodded and said in deep thought: "This plan of the traitor Cao is extremely vicious! It can shake Zhuge's heart. If he yearns for glory, he will not be willing to live in Jingzhou, and will go to Xuchang sooner or later." You can sow discord between Liu Bei and Zhuge. If Liu Bei is suspicious and no longer trusts Zhuge, then Zhuge will not be able to display his talents in Jingzhou. Over time, Zhuge will return to Xuchang sooner or later!"

Sun Quan sighed and shook his head helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. Cao Cao's family has a great business, and there is a fake emperor sitting in the backyard. No matter what, it is the emperor's order to cover the jade seal. Although this move is despicable, it is It is indeed very effective. It is extremely attractive to those who want to become officials. How many talented people in the world are unwilling to serve the imperial court? In this aspect alone, neither Liu Bei nor I can compare with him!"

Lu Su, who was standing by, suddenly turned to look at Gu Yong and asked curiously: "Zhuge Wende is naturally inconvenient to say anything at this time. I wonder how Liu Bei will react and how to appease Zhuge?"

Gu Yong smiled and slowly shook his head with a look of disdain: "Zijing, you know it even if you don't want to. Liu Bei's reaction is still strong!"

"How is it?"

Lu Su and Sun Quan asked in unison, they were more worried about whether Zhuge Wende could sit in Jingzhou!

Just because Zhuge is in Jingzhou, Jingzhou is as safe as Mount Tai. If Zhuge leaves Jingzhou, I am afraid Liu Bei will not be able to secure his seat in the nine counties of Jingzhou, and they will be destroyed by Cao Cao sooner or later.And Zhuge Wende did go to Xudu, and if he took refuge with Cao Cao, there would be no suspense in the world. Everyone could hang themselves and vacate the position for Cao Cao! !
"It is said that Liu Bei took off Jing Xiang's seal and ribbon on the spot and gave it to Zhuge Wende. He wanted to give up the power of commanding the troops and horses in Jingzhou to Zhuge's military advisor."

"Liu Bei also said that if you can assist me, ask your military advisor to assist you. If you are not worthy of the big task, you don't need to assist me. The military advisor can take my place and establish myself as the lord of Jingzhou!"

When this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked!

Sun Quan's face was horrified, sweat soaked through his clothes, and he said in a trembling voice: "I once dissatisfied with Liu Bei and laughed at his low birth and small status. Today, it seems that Liu Bei's talent is ten times better than mine! Although he cannot gallop around and plan the world, he can Being able to employ people without any doubts will calm the hearts of great sages!"

Lu Su couldn't help but nodded, not knowing whether he was happy or sad: "Liu Bei is like the great ancestor Liu Bang!"

"Liu Bang started out as the head of a pavilion and managed it for half his life before he developed and prospered. However, he was able to hand over the commander of the three armies to Han Xin and let him deploy them. Now Liu Bei has spent most of his life to have these troops, and he doesn't even care about it. , he gave it to Zhuge Wende while chatting and laughing! With such employment, Jingzhou will have no worries!"

Zhang Hong applauded and laughed: "If Jingzhou has no worries, then I, Jiangdong, can also have no worries from day to night!"

After a short pause, he continued: "There are people in Jiangdong. I am afraid that I will worry about it day and night and will not be able to sleep peacefully!"

Lu Su was startled, and a wave of worries came to his mind. He couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of Poyang Lake.

Xuchang, with lush foliage and clear skies, is the best scenery of the year.

Ma Chao charged forward with great momentum, but on the way, Cao Cao's light cavalry looted the grain roads, burned the granaries, and almost beheaded Han Sui. Therefore, the Xiliang soldiers were frightened and did not dare to continue southward, so they turned back to Xiliang.

The clans of Xuchang were originally scrambling to escape from Xuchang and go to Jizhou Qingzhou and other places to avoid disaster. Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse. Ma Chao returned his troops, and the prime minister took Xiahou Dun and led two thousand cavalry from Wancheng to Xuchang.

There is no need for government orders, no notices, or even a warrant. As long as Xiahou Dun leads two thousand cavalry and marches through Xuchang City in a majestic manner, it is enough for the clans to be trembling with fear and fear, and dare not go out behind closed doors. .

At this time, everything was going smoothly in Xuchang City.The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the clans continue to return.

In Jizhou in the north, the grain and grass raised by Liu Ye were still continuously transported to Xuchang, and then distributed to various places after being organized and allocated by Xun Yu of Xuchang.

It was late at night, and the lanterns were flickering on and off. There were only a few lights on the whole street that were flickering on and off.

In front of the door of Xun Lingjun's house, there were two angry wind lanterns as tall as one person, emitting red flames, illuminating the entire door like a ball of red brocade.

The two-column chariot and eight-carriage sedan are the chariots and horses of Cao Cao, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.

It was already late at night, why did the Prime Minister come to Xun Lingjun's mansion when he was not in his own mansion?
"Wen Ruo, as the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be invincible in a hundred battles. Cui Zhouping and the others can come to join us, which will be of great help to us in capturing Jingzhou."

In the inner hall, six large butter candles illuminated the entire hall like daylight.Cao Cao sat in front of the table, with teapots, bowls, melons, pears, peaches and other fruits in front of him.

Not far away, Xun Yu bowed his head and stood with his hands down, listening to the Prime Minister's teachings.

"Prime Minister, that may not be the case. It's a good thing that Cui Zhouping and three others can come to vote for me, but we can't expect too much. The three of them are just Zhuge Liang's confidants and friends. They are not familiar with Zhuge Wende, and even here None of the three of them had heard of the existence of Zhuge Wende before."
