Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 74 You once burned down my Xiangyang Academy. Today I will repay you a hundredfold and the Cai family will be removed from history!

In Jiangdong, after Zhou Yu received the news that Liu Bei had taken Guiyang, he immediately returned to the Poyang Lake sluice.

Xuchang, in the residence of Prime Minister Cheng.

Between the beams and pillars.

The carved beams and painted columns, the birds and animals, are lifelike and lifelike.

Cao Cao was wearing a red robe and sitting at the desk.

So much has happened during this time.

It made him extremely irritable.

Now I am taking the emperor with me to command the princes, so that some young people dare not make mistakes.

But there are still people in the world who repeatedly oppose him.

When Cao Cao thought of this, a light flashed in his eyes, and he felt very depressed in his heart. Why could Zhuge always see through his own plans?

And right now!
A scout wearing armor hurriedly walked in from outside the door.

When he came to Cao Cao, his expression became respectful, and he cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister! Liu Bei sent troops to Guiyang to avenge Liu Biao."

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and then became furious.

When the eighteen princes met for an alliance, they realized that Liu Bei should not be underestimated.

Now the power is gradually growing.

To be able to compete with him.

This is really unexpected.

"Hateful! Hateful big-eared thief, Zhuge Pifu!"

Cao Cao's face was livid with anger, and his breathing became rapid.

Now he is unable to send troops to Jingzhou. Even if he sends troops, he can only wait until April to rectify his troops.

And this big-eared thief seemed to have eaten him.

Now send troops directly to Guiyang.

He could only watch but could not take any action.

Wait until April to reorganize the troops and set off again.

It can be said that the day lily is cold.

Four months later!

This big-eared thief has probably occupied nine counties in Jingzhou.

hateful!hateful!It’s really hateful!
Anger exploded in Cao Cao's chest, and he was pacing back and forth because of his anger. There was a light in his eyes as he thought about how to deal with it.

This big-eared thief looks honest and honest on the surface.

Now I can finally see his appearance clearly.

The reason for sending troops to Guiyang at this moment is to occupy more land under the guise of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

The heroes of the world are at war.

If the big-eared thieves occupy all the land in the south.

At that time, I will be in danger.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly and shone with light.

As for the scouts on the side, after reporting the news, they kept their heads down and did not dare to look up to see Cao Cao.

Because he didn't dare to offend the prime minister.

There was a tense situation between the halls.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and wanted to understand the key points of this problem.

The reason why this big-eared thief has always been able to oppose him is that there is a military advisor standing behind him.

How wise you are at this moment!

If this person can be killed.

All these troubles and difficulties will be solved.

Although it sounds simple, it is very difficult to do.

Now that Liu Bei is powerful, if he wants to go in and kill someone.

It's an impractical thing to do.

Cao Cao was filled with rage, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly, waved his hand, and said to the scout beside him: "Go down! You go down first!"

After hearing this, the scout bowed respectfully to Cao Cao and then left.

Sandalwood lingers in the house.

But Cao Cao's thoughts were not here.

Nowadays, there are many disputes among the heroes in the world. If you can't neutralize these forces, then you will also live up to the pride of the man in your heart.

A real man should carry a three-foot sword and conquer the world.

Now the Han Dynasty is in decline.

It's an opportunity that only appears in hundreds of years.

Of course he couldn't let it go.

All kinds of sadness appeared in my heart, and in the end I could only sigh.

……

Inside the military division's mansion.

between halls.

Here stood a few middle-aged men with a pair of civil and military double-stranded crow-green sash, and a pair of eagle-claw leather four-seam dry yellow boots. Their brows and eyes were shining with light, as if they were full of wisdom.

There are five people: Xun You, Chen Qun, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Zhong Yao.

They are important counselors under Cao Cao.

The reason why Cao Cao was able to dominate the north was naturally due to the advice of these people.

But now!

These five people looked at each other with a wry smile on their faces.

Although he claims to be able to rule the world.

But meet the real counselor.

These things seem a bit unsatisfactory.

Jia Xu took a step forward, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "I originally planned to disrupt Jingzhou this time, but I didn't expect..."

When he said this, his face was filled with bitterness.

Jia Xu was known as a poisonous man, and his plans were extremely sinister and vicious, making everyone's hair stand on end.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other people became serious.

They really didn't expect this.

Although he has come up with many tricks over the years, he encountered a truly evil talent.

It was as if they were completely crushed by each other.

Xun You shook his head and sighed: "Zhuge! He is very resourceful. Even if we join forces to attack, the other party will see through their intentions. He is worthy of being the Wolong of the world."

When Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, it was Xun You and Guo Jia who offered him a plan to capture Lu Bu alive.

It can be said that he is one of the famous counselors in the world.

Chen Qun also smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "I thought I could help Cao Ping rule the world by waiting for a good head, but I didn't expect Zhuge to be such a monster and rebel against his army. Now Xuchang is in chaos. It's really It was unexpected, I really didn’t expect it.”

This man was the grandson of Chen Shi, the chief of Taiqiu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the son of Dahonglu Chen Ji. He was from the Chen family of Yingchuan, a famous family.

It can be said that I have seen a lot of things with my father since I was a child.

Later he became Cao Cao's counselor.

He has devised many strategies for Cao Cao over the years and has a very high IQ.

But facing Zhuge's plan, he still shook his head and sighed.

Zhong Yao took a step forward, looked at the people in front of him, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Zhuge's plan is like a sharp sword hanging between the neck, which is frightening."

He was born in the Zhong family of Yingchuan, and his strategy was second to none. Some people even called him Xiao He in later generations. However, facing Zhuge's plan, he still felt powerless in his heart.

Compared with Zhuge, they are like fireflies compared with the bright moon.

It can even be said that they are not on the same level at all.

The five people in the Military Advisor's Mansion shook their heads and sighed for this failure.

This time!
They clearly realized the power of Zhuge's strategy.

If you're not careful.

I'm afraid that the head on the necklace won't be his own by then.

This is a very dangerous thing.

Xiangyang.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Ming climbed high and looked into the distance, each with their own thoughts and moods.

Just when Liu Bei was immersed in the victory that was about to come.

The young man stepped forward quickly, climbed up to Liu Bei's feet, and whispered in a low voice.

"My lord..."

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei pressed down the boy's hand that was covering his mouth and said loudly:
"In the future, you must not whisper anything in front of the military advisor."

Zhuge Ming smiled lightly when he heard this but did not respond.

The boy received the order and immediately spoke:

"My lord, Mr. Sun Qian and Jian Yong are looking for my lord."

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded and backed away from the boy. He turned to look at Zhuge Ming and said:
"Military advisor, be prepared to take the first step."

"It's cold and windy, so the military advisor shouldn't stay too long. Go back early."

Zhuge Ming nodded:
"Thank you sir for your thoughts. I will wait a little longer and then return home."

The two said goodbye, and Liu Bei took a carriage and horse back to the prefect's mansion.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw Sun Qian and Jian Yong waiting outside the gate through the curtains and windows.

A few days ago, Liu Bei sent two people to raise military rations.

Now that we are back, we should have gained something.

The carriage and horse stopped, and the dismounting stone was removed.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei jumped off his chariot and horse in one swift step.

He quickly came to Sun Qian and Jian Yong, held their palms firmly in each hand, and asked eagerly:

"How is the financing going? Is it enough for the soldiers to fight?"

Seeing their lord's concern, Sun Qian and Jian Yong couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts.

The enlightened Lord is like this, and the original choice was not wrong!
Sun Qian and Jian Yong nodded and said happily:

"My lord, we have gained a lot from raising military rations this time."

"This ration is enough for the soldiers to fight for more than a month!"

"If you don't have a battle, you can be rewarded with a season!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was happy.

He squeezed the palms of Sun Qian and Jian Yong hard, and said sincerely:

"Gongyou, Xianhe, although you two didn't kill the enemy on the battlefield! You still contributed a lot!"

"I am so relieved!"

Sun Qian and Jian Yong hurriedly replied:

"Lord, everything we do is to promote Han Dynasty."

"Since we prospered the Han Dynasty, why should we claim credit for it?"

"It's my job to solve the worries of the frontline soldiers!"

Liu Bei nodded repeatedly.

The monarch and his ministers are united, this is something that can be encountered but cannot be desired.

After a moment of sincere affection, Liu Bei brought the two of them into his mansion.

The servants sit down and the maids watch the tea.

After Liu Bei sat down, he couldn't help but whisper:

"I wonder how Yide and the others are doing on the front line?"

Jian Yong put down the tea bowl in his hand and said:
"Don't worry, my lord, the military strategist has a clever plan. I think the city has already been broken by this time."

Liu Bei nodded,

He knew that he would win this battle.

At the moment, it's just that the six richest counties in Jingzhou are about to be acquired, and I can't hide my excitement.

When the atmosphere was harmonious, Sun Qian suddenly stood up.

He opened his mouth and said:
"My lord, in addition to reporting on the situation of raising military rations, the two of us are here to report on one thing."

"In Xiangyang, there is a charred ruin."

"This ruin was destroyed by Cai Mao. It is said that it was originally a school before it was burned down."

"The ruins themselves are nothing special, it's just that I found some old manuscripts among the ruins."

"The handwriting on these old manuscripts is beautiful, the poems are grand, and they are all poems that have never been seen before."

"The two of us thought that before this school was destroyed, there should be some great scholars teaching and educating people here."

"It would be a good thing if we can find talented people to assist our lord."

Liu Bei was very interested when he heard this.

Those who ask great questions must have great talents!

In this troubled world, if we can get help from great talents, it will be a good thing!
If someone can be as talented and knowledgeable as a military advisor, then naturally the more the better!

However, even it is not as good as a military advisor.

It is no small matter that Sun Qian and Jian Yong can be regarded as talented scholars based on their poetry.

Liu Bei waved and asked:

"Gongyou, do you have those poems with you?"

Sun Qian nodded and took out a piece of rice paper from his arms.

The rice paper is dark, like ink dye.

The poems and texts are all in white, and the poems and texts are incomplete and have some defects.

At a glance, it is obvious that the poems on the rice paper were rubbings.

After presenting the rice paper, Sun Qian opened his mouth and explained:

"My lord, the old manuscript is engraved on the stone slab."

"There are many fragments of stone slabs, but I only found this relatively complete rubbing."

Liu Bei nodded, as expected.

He carefully read the poetry on the rubbing:

"Where there is a will, things come true. Even if the cauldron sinks the boat, the hundred and two Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu!"

"If you work hard, God will not let you down. If you work hard and endure hardships, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu!"

Looking at the verses printed on the rice paper, Liu Bei's eyes wandered.

"Good poem! Good poem!"

"The person who wrote this story not only possesses soaring arrogance, but also possesses astonishing forbearance!"

"You can taste the spirit of a man who can bend and stretch between the lines!" "What a pity, I don't know who wrote such a poem!"

Liu Bei sighed, and suddenly, he discovered.

The handwriting on this rubbing is very familiar.

He frowned slightly and looked carefully.

This... this seems to be the handwriting of a military advisor!

military adviser? !
Liu Bei was confused, so he walked quickly to his study and found the letters he had exchanged with his military adviser.

Find the same words in the letters and compare them.

This comparison made Liu Bei gasp in shock!
The handwriting on the rubbing perfectly matches the handwriting of the military advisor!
This shows that the military advisor was once in Xiangyang!

Just now, Sun Qian said that this rubbing was taken from the stone slab in the burned down school.

Doesn't that mean that this school is originally a school for military advisors? !

The military advisor's school was burned down by Cai Mao!
This Cai Mao really deserves to be killed!

"Painful efforts will pay off, and three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu!"

There is clearly resentment and expectation of revenge in the poem "Military Advisor"!

The hard-working person is naturally talking about the military advisor himself!
Try your best...

Gou Jian, the king of Yue, suffered hardships in the prison of King Wu, and finally took revenge and restored his country!
The military strategist wrote about lying on the firewood and tasting courage, comparing himself to Gou Jian.

Could it be said that the military advisor was bullied in Xiangyang?
Three thousand more can swallow Wu.

These three thousand Yuejia may refer to soldiers and horses.

So what does "Wu" refer to?
Is it Cai Mao?

or something else

The military advisor is now gentle in his words and deeds, aware of etiquette and general knowledge.

There was no trace of the layer being bullied at all.

But if you had never been bullied, why would you have written such a poem full of forbearance and grievance?

If you have been wronged, what kind of clear thoughts can you still maintain the gentle and elegant temperament you have today?

Military advisor, military advisor, what have you experienced in your past?
What exactly happened that made you so unfazed by favors and humiliations, and so unfazed by all changes?

Liu Bei was full of curiosity about Zhuge Ming's past...

Xiangyang, Military Advisor's Mansion.

After returning from the high place, Zhuge Ming took off his cold clothes and put on the scribe's robe he usually wore.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun could be defeated overnight, but Cao Cao's army was still a problem.

How to deal with it and how to lay it out requires some thinking.

Take out the maps of Jing and Xiang.

Although this map is flat, in Zhuge Ming's eyes, it contains mountains, ravines, and gurgling streams.

Zhuge Ming simulated all the terrain on the map in his mind.

Where is the appropriate place to design an ambush and where should the defense be deployed.

And where is the battleground for military strategists, the coefficient is in Zhuge Ming's heart.

Just when Zhuge Ming was looking at the map of Kanyu attentively, the book boy trotted over and reported:

"Sir, Duke Xuande is here for a visit. He has already arrived in the study."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Ming immediately stood up to greet him.

However, before leaving the house, Liu Bei had already walked in.

"My lord is coming, why don't you tell me?"

"I came back in such a hurry that I didn't prepare any food or wine at home."

Liu Bei waved his hand, dragged Zhuge Ming's arm into the room, and said with a smile:

"There is no need to pay any formalities or expenses to the military advisor. I am here today because I am worried and want to tell you."

Zhuge Ming knew clearly in his heart that he knew what his lord was worried about.

Now that Jingxiang has been secured, it will still take some time for Cao Cao's army to move south.

The crisis in front of us is Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu occupied Changsha, and Cao Cao used the emperor's name to make Zhou Yu and Sun Quan the governor of Jingzhou and Xiangyang respectively.

The Lord occupies Jingxiang and Jingxiang, so it is reasonable to worry about Jiangdong's invasion.

Zhuge Liang was thinking about this.

Liu Bei watched quietly.

He saw that there seemed to be great tenacity and grievance between the military advisor's brows.

Reminiscent of the poems sent by Sun Qian, Liu Bei became more curious about the past of the military advisor.

However, Liu Bei would not interfere unless the military advisor told him.

Seeing that Zhuge Ming was reluctant to speak, he took the lead and said:
"Military advisor, Zhou Yu now occupies Changsha."

"If we raise troops to invade, what will happen to the three counties of Guiyang, Wuling and Lingling..."

After hearing what Zhuge Ming said, Zhuge Ming smiled lightly.

As expected, it was Jiangdong that the princes were worried about.

Zhuge Ming pointed to the map of Kanyu on the table and said:
"My lord, there is no need to worry. Zhou Yu is unable to escape now. I think Chaisang is in a state of distress."

"Cao Chong's death was blamed on Sun Quan by Cao Cao."

"Now we are sending 56 troops straight south. The purpose is to conquer Jiangdong."

"The Jiangdong nobles are all surrenderers who defend the city."

"It doesn't make any difference whoever becomes the Lord of Jiangdong."

"Right now, all the nobles from Jiangdong are blocking the Wuhou Mansion, trying to persuade Sun Quan to go to Xuchang and become a caged bird."

"When Zhou Yu went to frighten the Jiangdong nobles, how could he still have the time to raise an army to invade?"

Zhuge Ming's words were concise and to the point, and he hit the nail on the head.

What Liu Bei heard was his eyes moving and his eyebrows stretched.

Seeing the military advisor's clear understanding, Liu Bei suddenly realized what he was doing.

That's it!

It was so!
All this is within the military advisor's plan!
How far ahead is the strategist's plan?
Has it been planned since the death of Cao Chong?

Liu Bei shook his head in amazement.

Fortunately, I had the help of a military advisor.

What if the military advisor entered Cao's camp?I can't even imagine the consequences...

……

Guiyang.

In Cai Mao's mansion.

There are dense dougongs under the eaves, and the outer beams and squares are decorated with colorful paintings of Hexi.

As for the upper parts of the doors and windows, they are inlaid with diamond patterns, and the joints are decorated with gilt copper leaves engraved with animals.

It can be said to be extremely luxurious and magnificent.

The people who live here are either rich or noble.

Cai Mao was not in the mood to appreciate the prosperity in the house, but instead felt very irritable.

Come this time.

The letters he sent to other Jingzhou clans asking for help were all rejected.

Cai Mao felt that his life was darker than ever before.

Back then, he helped Liu Biao destroy the Jiangnan clan thieves.

Only then did he have his current status.

But now Liu Biao is dead.

Liu Bei also came to attack him under the guise of revenge for Liu Biao, a member of the Han clan.

This is how to do!
If you want to talk about peace now, there is obviously no chance.

The only option now is to fight to the death.

But if they do this, the strength of the Cai family will not be able to compete with them.

The other side!
Zhang Yun's eyes were shining with light, and his face was full of anxiety.

So much has happened during this time.

Liu Bei actually planned to raise troops to attack them.

Cai Hao looked at Zhang Yun next to him, sighed, and said slowly: "The letter for help I sent to the Jingzhou clan has not been responded to by anyone. I'm afraid the two of us will be doomed."

Hearing this, Zhang Yun had a sad look on his face.

Liu Bei led his troops this time, clearly intending to capture Guiyang.

Now he and Cai Mao can be regarded as people in the same boat.

Even if you go to surrender to Liu Bei now.

I'm afraid the other party won't let me go either.

The sky was foggy and extremely gloomy.

Cai Hao and Zhang Yun were in as bad a mood as the sky.

This time the two of them completely felt the darkness of life.

If you want to break this game.

I'm afraid it's a very difficult thing.

The other party didn't give them a chance to compromise at all, but came directly to force them.

The sound of sighs echoed here.

At the end, Cai Mao returned to his position and felt powerless.

I have defeated many opponents over the years, but I never expected that I would end up like this.

Isolated!

This is an extremely sad thing.

Zhang Yun looked at Cai Mao next to him and said slowly: "Liu Bei is now at the peak of his military power. If we fight against him, I am afraid we will fail in the end."

When Cai Mao heard this, he shook his head and sighed again.

The charm of the past has long since disappeared.

Now he feels like a piece of fish on a chopping board.

Liu Bei's big sword is about to fall on his head.

And right now!
A servant hurried in from outside the door, stood in front of Cai Mao, raised his hands and said, "Sir! There is a letter here."

When Cai Mao heard this, a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

Then he turned to look at Zhang Yun.

The two looked at each other.

The letters sent out during these days seemed to have disappeared into the sea.

No reply was received.

But now there is a letter.

Which family sent this here?
Could it be that he wants to fight against Liu Bei with him?
When Cai Mao thought of this, the sadness on his face dissipated a little, and a touch of joy reappeared. He looked at the servants beside him and said in a deep voice: "Come! Send it to me!"

The servant didn't hesitate at all and handed over the letter directly.

Then left here.

The letter came into Cai Mao's hands, and Zhang Yun next to him also walked over.

Cai Hao smiled and said, "I'm afraid there is no way out. Some nobles in Jingzhou have realized the seriousness of this matter and plan to send troops to help."

"Toki! If we have help from others, even this big-eared thief won't dare to act rashly, and we can preserve the strength of our family."

When Cai Mao said this, a somewhat high-spirited look appeared on his face.

It was as if the sadness just now had disappeared.

But when he opened the letter, he was completely stunned.

The content of this letter does not mean that any family intends to send troops to help them.

But a cold word.

[Once you burned my Xiangyang school and destroyed my farmland. Today I will repay you a hundredfold. The Cai family will be removed from history! 】

Cai Mao frowned when he read the sentence on the letter, and fell into deep thought, recalling everything that had happened.

Xiangyang Academy!

When Cai Hao thought of this, his pupils suddenly shrank and his expression was shocked.

Once, he bullied someone in Xiangyang Academy.

And after leaving, he burned down the school at will.

Cai Hao couldn't help but think of a figure, and then a name appeared in his mind.

The expression on his face became more serious.

Zhuge Ming!
He burned down the Xiangyang Academy and gave Zhuge Ming the derogatory title of Zhuge Eryong.

Cai Mao took a deep breath, his expression was full of shock, and he felt very incredible inside.

How could this mediocre person create such a big trend in the first place?

it turns out!It's him!
Cai Mao understood everything instantly!
After Zhang Yun noticed Cai Mao's change, he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "What happened!"

Cai Mao handed the letter in his hand to Zhang Yun.

After reading it, Zhang Yun's expression changed.

Zhuge Ming has such ability, and at first they gave each other a scornful name of mediocrity.

Now it seems that I have become a clown.

The contrast between them was really difficult for the two of them to accept.

Zhang Yun took a step forward, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Zhuge Ming is not very capable. Is he taking this opportunity to add insult to injury and come here to ridicule him?"

As soon as this word comes out!
Cai Hao, who was still in a crazy state, calmed down instantly.

Correct!
right!It must be so!

If this person really has such great ability.

The school would not have been destroyed by me back then.

Now that a letter suddenly arrived, it was definitely because he saw that he was suddenly in despair, and that was why he was angry with himself.

The person behind this is definitely not him.

Cai Mao looked at Zhang Yun next to him and said, "Zhuge Eryong just saw that I was in a state of despair, so he just wrote a letter to make me angry!"

"Hmph! It is absolutely impossible for a child like this to have such abilities."

When Cai Mao said this, his hands were clasped behind his back, and his expression was completely cold.

He didn't believe that Zhuge Ming had such ability.

Hearing this, Zhang Yun nodded and said, "These people cannot make any big waves. Our biggest enemy at this moment is Liu Bei."

"If it falls into the hands of this person, I'm afraid our end will not be much better."

Cai Hao's expression became serious and he looked into the distance.

Correct!
The biggest opponent now is Liu Bei.

It's better to mobilize troops and horses first.
