Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 138 Prime Minister Cao, give you a big gift

Zhuge Ming frowned slightly and tapped the bone of the autumn water folding fan on the table, making a slight sound. He raised his eyes and looked at the clear sky outside the lobby.

"Could it be that we caught a big fish but lost the loach?"

There was a trace of despair on Guan Yu's face: "I only focused on fighting Zhang Liao, but forgot about Chen Qun. As expected, he was as slippery as a loach. He let Zhang Liao go away from the country to attract my attention, but he escaped by boat on a small road. .”

Zhuge Ming looked at Zhuge Liang, stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and the folding fan wandered around his fingertips, like a docile pet, spinning vertically and horizontally, but never leaving.

"It was my poor planning. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's not your fault either."

"It seems that someone in Cao's camp has seen my plan!"

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and all the civil and military people present exclaimed in unison!

This is the first time I have encountered an opponent since the military advisor came out!
Although Zhang Liao was captured and countless grain and fodder were captured, which was considered a great victory, the only drawback was that he escaped from Chen Qun.

If it were placed on any counselor, it would still be a feat that could be boasted for a lifetime.But in Zhuge Ming's view, even if he achieved 90.00% success, he still failed!
"Brother, is there such a capable person in Cao's camp?"

Zhuge Ming said calmly: "This person did not approve of Chen Qun's entry into Jiangdong, but he kept silent about it. This shows that this person is very deep in the city. However, he gave Chen Qun advice in private and asked Cao Cao to send Xiahou De to use it. The response shows that this person’s relationship with Chen Qun is extraordinary.”

Liu Bei stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "Although Chen Qun is not very intelligent, his emotional intelligence is very good. Not only are the five great counselors on friendly terms with him, but also Xuchang's officials in Beijing, the princes and grandsons, also get along extremely well with him." . If we say that he has the best relationship, except for Jia Xu, the other four are all very good and difficult to distinguish."

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up and he suddenly said: "My lord has been deceived by him again. It shows that this person is indeed an expert in conspiracy and the most poisonous person!"

Liu Bei looked up at Zhuge Liang in surprise: "Who is Mr. Wolong referring to?"

Zhuge Liang stood up, bowed and said: "Among the five great counselors, there is one who is aloof and cold, gloomy and seldom talks. But he is also as wise as the sky. Xun Yu can't do it, and no one can compete with him."

"In the Battle of Wancheng, he assisted the Northwest Spear King. He single-handedly challenged Cao Cao's group of advisers without any fear, beheaded Dian Wei, and killed Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang. Cao Cao fled in embarrassment and lost his soul!"

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes suddenly opened and he looked up at Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming is referring to Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe!!"

Zhuge Ming laughed and said: "After Guo Jia died, besides Xun Yu, who else could be there besides Jia Xu?"

Liu Bei nodded and said with approval: "The military advisor said that. I should have thought it was him. It's just that this person is too low-key and acts extremely gloomy, so people often ignore him."

Ma Liang also said: "The more such a person is, the more dangerous he is. Jia Xu can be regarded as the king of the conspiracy faction. If this person is not eliminated, he will always be a major disaster for our Jingzhou."

Zhuge Ming gently waved the folding fan and said, "That's not necessarily true. The real conspirator is probably still hiding in Xuchang, in the Prince's Mansion, and even Cao Cao has not discovered what he is capable of!"

Everyone was frightened again!

Is there anyone in Cao Cao's camp who is more powerful than Jia Xu?

Prince's Mansion?By Cao Pi's side?
Even Liu Bei, who had lived in Xuchang for a while and had a drink with Cao Cao to discuss heroes, was confused now. He didn't know who else in the world had a conspiracy worse than Jia Xu.And how did Mr. Zhuge, the military advisor, who had lived in Jingzhou for a long time, learn about the conspirators who had hidden themselves so deeply?
Guan Yu was thoughtful and returned to the topic and asked: "Now Zhang Liao is captured and imprisoned in Jiangxia. We don't know the plans of the military advisor and the lord, so we are not escorting him to Xiangyang this time. How to deal with the aftermath at this time, please clarify with the military advisor." "

Liu Bei remembered that when he and Lu Bu were enemies in the past, Zhang Liao was Lu Bu's number one general and the first of the eight great generals.At that time, Liu Bei, who had frequent battles with him, had already admired Zhang Liao's character and martial arts, and he had already wanted to recruit him.

It's a pity that at that time, his status was low and he didn't even have his own territory. He never had the courage to spit out his love to Zhang Liao.Later, Cao Cao pretended to kill Zhang Liao, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu hurriedly interceded. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao borrowed a donkey from the slope and flowers to offer to the Buddha. He took the opportunity to pardon Zhang Liao's death penalty, recruited Zhang Liao into his army, and gradually became one of the best generals under him.

This time, the command of the Hefei Eastern Front was directly handed over to Zhang Liao.

"Military advisor, Zhang Liao is a rare general. If I can get his help, I won't worry about success..."

"The military advisor is very resourceful, why not use tricks to persuade him to surrender? Zhang Liao can surrender to me, which is better than a million soldiers!"

Liu Bei's eyes flickered, with uncontrollable excitement on his face!
Since Cao Cao captured Zhang Liao in the past, he pardoned his death penalty and surrendered him.Can't I just follow the prescription and draw the gourd to get this powerful general again?
Zhuge Ming shook his head slowly, returned to his original seat, gently picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip of fragrant tea: "My lord, you think too much. Zhang Liao was captured by Cao Cao in Xiapi City in the past. As soon as his family came to They are all in Xiapi, and they all fell into the hands of Cao Cao. Secondly, the old master Lu Bu has been executed, and Lu Bu refused to obey him during his lifetime, and had no kindness to him. That's why Zhang Liao surrendered happily."

"But today, all Zhang Liao's family members are in Xuchang. If he surrenders to the lord, his family will never be able to save their lives. What's more, Cao Cao is the best at winning people's hearts, and Zhang Liao is devoted to his service. In a moment, It’s hard to change his perspective.”

After listening to Zhuge Ming's words, Liu Bei suddenly had a look of pain on his face and sighed endlessly.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, looked at Liu Bei and said: "I have a plan that can make my lord win over Zhang Liao, so that he will be at odds with Cao Cao from now on."

Liu Bei suddenly raised his head, his worries turned into joy, and he couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Wolong is extremely smart, and he must have something to teach me. Tell me quickly, what is your clever plan?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Ming with a smile. Zhuge Ming looked down at the tea leaves floating in the bowl with a smile and said nothing.

Zhuge Liang then said: "Lord, as long as you imprison Zhang Liao in Jingzhou and never release him, he sent people to Xuchang to spread rumors that Zhang Liao had surrendered to the lord. He then ordered Zhao Yun of Fancheng to attack decisively and create several great victories for Zhang Liao. head."

"If Cao Cao knew about it, he would be furious. In his rage, he would kill Zhang Liao's parents, wives, children, and children in Xuchang. As long as Zhang Liao gives up his desire to be a child and starts a serious feud with Cao Cao, he will definitely surrender to his lord and charge into battle for you. Kill the traitor Cao."

Liu Bei was originally overjoyed and full of expectations.But after hearing Zhuge Liang's plan, he suddenly changed his color and said: "Mr. Wolong, I asked you to join the military advisor's house and assist the military advisor. I hope you can be like the military advisor, be kind-hearted and care about the people. But now you teach me to kill his parents." I used his son's poisonous tactics. Liu Bei didn't dare to listen to his teachings!"

Zhuge Liang laughed, and Zhuge Ming also smiled slightly and gently picked up the tea bowl.

Ma Liang's eyes were full of admiration: "Before I met my lord, I had heard about my lord's benevolence for a long time. Today, it seems that my lord is kind-hearted and has virtues worthy of heaven and earth. He is truly a benevolent person in ancient and modern times!"

Liu Bei suddenly realized that he just understood that what Zhuge Liang just said was just to test him. He smiled sheepishly, walked up to Zhuge Liang, bowed deeply, and said apologetically: "I didn't know that Mr. Wolong was testing me, and his words were disrespectful just now." , I hope Mr. Wolong will forgive me and don’t take it to heart.”

Zhuge Liang also hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile: "My lord is not the only one who speaks disrespectfully? My lord, please don't blame your subordinates!"

The two held hands and made peace, and the friendship between superiors and subordinates was better than before.

"Military advisor, if Zhang Liao is forced to stay in Jingzhou, his family will be killed by Cao Cao in Xuchang. This is what I don't want to see. However, Wen Yuan is an unparalleled general. If we want to put him back in Xuchang like this, I really don’t want to give in. I wonder if the military advisor has any good ideas?”

Liu Bei frowned and sighed.

His love for Zhang Liao is similar to that of Changshan Zhao Yun in the past.It's a pity that Zhang Liao didn't like him and instead surrendered to Cao Cao, who was rich and powerful, and now they have a hostile relationship.

Zhuge Minglue pondered for a moment, and he had a plan. He stood up and said, "You can give Cao Operation a letter. Ask him if he cares about Wen Yuan's life. If you want Wen Yuan to survive, you can negotiate the terms of redemption." Guan Yu and Liu Bei They asked in unison: "The conditions for redemption? What conditions?"

The rest of the generals also looked at Zhuge Ming and listened carefully, wondering what the master's plan was.

Zhuge Ming slowly turned around, looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, do you understand my intention?"

Kong Ming still didn't hear anything, he lowered his head and thought hard, walking back and forth.When everyone saw that he was deep in thought, they did not dare to disturb him and waited quietly.

"Brother, could this be an opportunity to use the topic to drive a wedge between Cao Cao and his subordinates?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhuge Ming, with a different kind of light shining in his eyes.

"Ha ha!"

Zhuge Ming laughed loudly: "I will entrust you to handle this matter. Write a letter immediately and send it to Cao Cao!"

Wancheng.

It was already the third day since Chen Qun returned, but there was still no news from Zhang Liao.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, civilian and military generals gathered here.The Prime Minister, Cao Cao, could no longer sit still on the high stairs. He was now walking hastily back and forth. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was anxious.

"Prime Minister, I am willing to lead [-] elite troops to attack the Poyang Lake camp first, kill Zhou Yu, and avenge Xiahou De. Then I will send my troops north to attack with the Prime Minister from north to south and destroy Jingzhou!"

In the row of generals, Xiahou Dun finally broke out in this oppressive atmosphere. He stood up sweating profusely, knelt down at the foot of the steps, and said with a cry.

Xiahou De was his nephew. He led troops to meet Chen Qun when he returned, but was killed by Gan Ning. He threw himself into the middle of the river and fed the bastards, leaving no trace of his body.He was filled with grief and anger, so he volunteered to avenge his nephew.

"Brother, don't be impulsive. The Jiangdong navy is invincible in the world. You and I are not good at water. Wen Yuan, who led the navy, has disappeared now. If you go to Jiangdong, you will never come back..."

Xia Houyuan had a gentle temperament and was a little rational. He hurriedly came out and held Xia Houdun's hand, trying to calm him down and stop being impulsive.

"Invincible?"

"Humph!"

Cao Cao's eyes seemed to be bursting with fire. He was so angry that he kicked the desk in front of him down the steps.

"If anything happens to Wenyuan, I will bloodbath Jiangdong and avenge him!"

At this moment, the tent door suddenly opened, Cheng Yu hurried in from outside, came to the foot of the stairs, and whispered: "Prime Minister, there is news about Wenyuan..."

Cao Cao took a quick step and came down from the high steps. His eyes were like nails. He looked at Cheng Yu and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Cheng Yu lowered his head, not daring to look at the Prime Minister, and said in a low voice: "The scouts have reliable information that Wen Yuan encountered Guan Yu's navy in Jiangxia, and the entire army was wiped out. No one was spared. Wen Yuan fought hard to no avail, and was captured after falling into the water. Now he is being held in Jiangxiashui military camp."

"choke!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and pulled out his sword from his waist. His eyes were blood red and his eyes were about to burst.

"Guan Yu! You are an unfaithful and unjust man. I treated you like this before and did not know how to repay my kindness. Today, I have killed my soldiers and my generals! I will kill you, dig out your heart, liver and five internal organs, divide them and eat them!"

While speaking, he pointed in the direction of Xiangyang and cursed angrily: "Liu Bei is a big-eared thief, Zhuge Pifu! Sooner or later I will annex Jingzhou, hang your two corpses on the city tower, and expose them for ten days to let the world know the consequences of disobeying me." !”

The more Cao Cao talked, the angrier he became. He couldn't contain his anger. He swung his sword and wanted to vent his anger.

But he didn't expect that Xiahou Dun, who had kneeled on the ground before leaving work, was still kneeling on the ground without the Prime Minister's permission. He was now kneeling straight, listening to what Cheng Yu and the Prime Minister said.

Suddenly, a sword light suddenly struck in front of him.He is a military commander, adaptable to changes, and can do whatever he wants without making any mistakes.But at this time, he was kneeling there and could not move casually. Moreover, he was blind in one eye, and the other eye was unable to focus, and he had trouble identifying the sword light.

"Whoosh!"

"puff!"

With a muffled sound, Xiahou Dun's bun and a piece of skin on his head were cut off by Cao Cao's sword and fell to the ground.

What followed was a streak of blood.Xiahou Dun's entire face was stained red by the blood stains running down from the top of his head, like a watermelon pattern.

In the blink of an eye, the famous general Xiahou Dun became Pingdinghou...

Xiahou Dun screamed and fell down.Xia Houyuan, who was beside him, hurriedly stepped forward, helped him up, asked Cao Cao for instructions, and then hurriedly dragged him out of the tent to seek treatment from a military doctor.

The other civil and military officials were horrified and wondered what had happened to the prime minister.The Prime Minister once said that he likes to kill people in his dreams. Could it be that today, because of his illness, he would draw his sword and kill people in anger?

Each and every one of them kept silent and bowed their heads in silence for fear of causing harm to themselves.

"Prime Minister!"

Suddenly a man left work, crying loudly.

"Wen Yuan was captured, and I cannot absolve myself of the blame. Xiahou De was killed by Jiangdong in order to rescue Wei Chen. All of this is Wei Chen's fault. May the Prime Minister temporarily suspend his thunderous anger. I will be responsible for all the crimes. Please forgive me." The prime minister will judge the crime of the minister."

"I accept the crime..."

Chen Qun cried loudly, his words were sincere and his voice was sad, which made all the officials feel sad and sympathetic in their hearts.
