Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 192 Ren Yi

Liu Bei twirled his beard and smiled: "Xiahou Dun has been a hero all his life, but he never expected to give birth to such a dandy. I think half of Cao Cao's empire will be destroyed in the hands of this son."

Zhuge Liang continued: "Now Cao Ren leads 50,000 troops and carries 200,000 stones of grain and grass from Wancheng. He travels day and night by water and rushes to Hefei. Based on my schedule, I am afraid that he will be able to arrive in Hefei in less than ten days. As long as he can hold on for ten days. , then you can relax for a while.”

Zhuge Ming frowned slightly, lowered his head and walked back and forth twice.

"What happened to the Eight Formations you studied in detail in Wollongong?"

Zhuge Ming stopped and turned around to stare at Zhuge Liang.

"If we are in the barren mountains and wild ridges, I am confident that with a little arrangement, it will not be difficult to trap 50,000 soldiers and horses for half a day."

Zhuge Liang said without thinking: "But if Cao Ren goes to Hefei, he may take the water route. Setting up formations on the water is not what I am good at. The power of these eight formations will probably be reduced exponentially, making it difficult to stop Cao Rendong." The purpose of progress.”

In his heart, he was also secretly curious as to why Zhuge Ming knew so much about his own study of the Eight Formations in Wollongong?

This is his unique knowledge, and when his brother taught him in the past, he never mentioned it!

Naturally, he would not have thought that Zhuge Ming, who had traveled through time, already knew that Zhuge Liang was good at using the Eight Formations in his previous life, and had used this formation to trap Jiangdong General Lu Xun in Jingzhou!

"It seems that your research on the Eight Formation Diagram is only superficial and not refined. I have another essence here. After you take it back, you can understand its secrets overnight!"

Zhuge Ming took out a paper ball from his sleeve and threw it to Zhuge Liang!

"At dawn tomorrow, you will lead hundreds of riders to go all the way to Jiangxia to contact Guan Yunchang and order him to help you pass in front of Cao Ren by water and arrange eight formations. You must hold Cao Ren back for three days so that you can leave Jiangdong. Enough time!"

Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand to take it, as if he had received an order from a god, he was respectful and had a look of admiration on his face!

"My little brother is so ashamed!"

"I didn't expect that the eight formation diagrams that I have studied so hard and in detail are already familiar to my brother and I don't even bother to use them..."

"only……"

Zhuge Liang wanted to say more, but he hesitated.

"It's just something we have already arranged. Why did I suddenly throw in the towel and make Cao Ren arrive two days late?"

Zhuge Ming put his hands behind his back, gently put his nose to the petals of a flower tree, smelled the faint fragrance, and said lightly.

"That's exactly what I mean, little brother."

Zhuge Liang is extremely intelligent, but in front of his brother Zhuge Ming, he always feels that his intelligence is a few steps behind, so he can't help but be wary when speaking, lest he say something inappropriate and appear too stupid.

This is just like a chess game between masters. Someone who can think about all the changes within ten moves after the move is praised as a chess king. But there are other people who, perhaps in the blink of an eye, have seen all the winning and losing moves, which is already beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition.

Zhuge Ming picked off a petal and gently kneaded it on his fingertips. A faint rouge red color instantly covered his entire fingertips, but the rich fragrance of the petals was even stronger.

"In Cao's camp, although Xu Huang is not as good as Zhang Liao, he is also a careful and cautious person. And according to what you said, it is obvious that Xiahou Mao's behavior is too childish and frivolous. I expect that both Xu Huang and Jiang Ji have treated him No more trust.”

"And I'm afraid that at this time, Jiang Ji, both publicly and privately, wishes that Xiahou Mao would die soon, so he got his wish!"

"Imagine that no matter how perfect Sun Quan, Pang Tong, and Lu Su were in their plans, at most they only deceived a useless person like Xiahou Mao. How could they deceive Xu Huang and Jiang Ji?"

Kong Ming suddenly realized and said in surprise: "The intention of the military master brother is to put Hefei Xu Huang and Jiang Ji in a desperate situation without food. To disturb their minds and impetuous tempers, and then order Xiahou Mao to go back to report the news, so that they can escape Their suspicion!”

Zhuge Ming looked up to the sky and laughed, with approval on his face. During the conversation between them, Liu Bei and Ma Liang were standing by. Although they could not hear a single word, it was as if they were listening to a book from heaven. The more they listened, the more confused and confused they became.

"It's just that there is a sudden change here. I don't know if Pang Tong can understand each other tacitly. If Hefei and we can't be connected, it will not be beautiful..."

Zhuge Liang said with a bit of worry.

"Ha ha!"

Zhuge Ming chuckled and said lightly: "If Pang Tong doesn't even have this kind of resourcefulness, he is not worthy of the name of 'Feng Chu'! Then he deserves to die in Hefei with the Jiangdong generals!"

Zhuge Ming turned around with a smile, caressed his sleeves, and went back to the inner hall.

Kong Ming stood there thoughtfully, and after a long time he nodded slowly, as if he had some realization.

When Ma Liang saw that Zhuge Ming's military advisor had left, he came to Liu Bei, smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have to ask for my life for the people of Jingzhou."

Liu Bei was startled and looked up blankly: "What does Ji Chang mean by asking for orders for the people? As long as it is reasonable, I will never deny it."

Ma Liang held the grain cloth in his hand and said with a smile: "My Lord, do you still remember the promise he made to the people of Jingzhou before he entered Jingzhou?"

"Promise?"

Liu Bei scratched his head gently with his hand, thinking hard, frowning slightly, and suddenly smiled and said: "Three years of tax exemption?"

Ma Liang bowed and said: "Exactly! It was only because of my lord that I entered Jingzhou. Cao's thieves came with a large number of people. The cost of military horses was huge. The people of Jingzhou and the clans of Jingzhou tried their best to help. Not only did they not mention the tax exemption, but even the taxes they donated were compared to Last year, it was 30% more. Now my lord has a lot of food and grass, can you..."

Liu Bei laughed loudly: "Zhuge Military Advisor has prepared such a great gift for me, how can I break the promise of the people of Jingzhou? Tax exemption for three years" I will add two more years! Tax exemption for five years! Within five years, I and the people of Jingzhou will be separated. If you don’t harvest, autumn will never come!”

Ma Liang was overjoyed and bowed again and said, "My lord is so benevolent and righteous. On behalf of the people and clans of Jingzhou, I would like to thank you for your great kindness!"

Liu Bei hurriedly took two steps forward, helped Ma Liang up, and sighed: "It's not my kindness. It's really the military advisor who has thought carefully. Although he didn't say a word, I know that my old oath is always in his mind. That’s why you set up a cunning plan to fulfill your promise for me!”

"If I didn't have Military Advisor Zhuge, how could I have so much food and grass, and how could I repeat what I said before?"

The two of them were grateful for Zhuge Wende's military adviser's careful calculation and were amazed!

"My lord, now that Cao Cao is devoting all his strength to support me in Jingzhou, my lord, why don't you write a letter to say thank you?"

At some point, Zhuge Ming, who had retreated into the inner hall, came out again, stood on the high steps, held the folding fan Qiushui Changtian in his hand, and said lightly.
