Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 83 Letter from Xu Shu and Xuchang!Mr. Zhuge has 36 disciples!All outstanding people!
At the Xuchang Palace, Liu Xie, Ma Teng and others were in a state of panic.

Xiangyang, the prefect's mansion.

Duke Xuande returned from abroad and walked through the alleys.

Along the way, many Xiangyang people stopped and bowed. Unlike other lords, Liu Bei would not let his soldiers drive away the people.

Originally, these Xiangyang people thought that after the death of the former eunuch, the sky in Xiangyang would change drastically.

But after Liu Bei took office, Xiangyang not only did not fall into war.

On the contrary, it was well organized under Liu Bei's governance.

In times of war, being able to create a peaceful and stable place for the people to live is a great blessing.

"Mr. Xuande."

"Mr. Xuande, these are eggs laid at home."

"Mr. Xuande, thanks to you, we can avoid the pain of war!"

"Mr. Xuande..."

Liu Bei's carriage and horses stopped, and the people around him immediately rushed up and surrounded the carriage and horses.

For this new governor, the people were grateful and thankful from the bottom of their hearts.

Liu Bei smiled and accepted the kindness of the people one by one.

But he didn't take any of the gifts given by the people.

"Old woman, I'd rather keep these eggs at home for my children and grandchildren."

"It's the greatest pleasure to see you all smiling."

The old woman holding the eggs couldn't help but burst into tears and cried bitterly.

She nodded repeatedly and said:
"Okay, okay! Even at my age, I can still enjoy my old age in peace, thanks to the prefect!"

Halfway through her words, the old woman couldn't help but sigh. She wiped away her tears and said with sobs:
"I only hate that my second son is far away in Guiyang and is ruled by those two thieves."

"I wonder if mother and son will meet again in the future..."

When Liu Bei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted the old woman on the shoulder, comforting her:

"If it's because of this, then there's no need to worry!"

With that said, Liu Bei stood up straight and said loudly to the people:
"The battle report came from Guiyang. Bei's generals have attacked Guiyang. The city will be broken within three days! The nine counties of Jingzhou have been returned to the six counties!"

"If you have relatives and friends who are far away in Guiyang, from today onwards, they can come and go without any restrictions!"

Hearing this, the people's eyes widened one by one and they couldn't believe their ears!

There have been wars in ancient times, especially in today's troubled times where the feudal princes are divided.

Cities and counties are adjacent to each other, even if they are under the same state capital.

But if it is divided into different princes.

It is extremely difficult for people from those two counties to communicate with each other!
Unless there is an order for trade between the two counties, it is impossible to enter the city gate.

Ordinary people's homes obviously didn't do anything.

But just because of the conquests and separatist regimes among the princes.

What usually was only a few days' journey has become a lifetime's distance.

Six of the nine counties in Jingzhou fell into Liu Bei's hands.

This is equivalent to the fact that within the six counties, people can travel freely!
You can see the people you want to see, and you can say what you want to say clearly in person!

Isn't this the simplest wish of the common people?

The people who came back to their senses all had tears in their eyes.

They knelt down in unison and worshiped devoutly from the bottom of their hearts:

"Thank you, Prefect, for your great kindness!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and kept asking the accompanying boys to help him.

Looking at the expectant faces of the people, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel emotional.

What he wants is the peaceful and happy life he has now.

Jingzhou should be like this, and the world should be like this!
Power and situation change people's hearts.

And what Liu Bei and Xuande Gong have to do is to support the Han Dynasty that is about to collapse!

Let’s once again provide a bright and sunny sky for the people of Li!
After the meeting, he said goodbye to the people, and Liu Bei set off on his journey back to the Governor's Mansion.

After entering the house, change into regular clothes.

He went straight to the study.

On the way back, Liu Bei suddenly remembered.

When he first met with the military advisor, the military advisor had drawn a map!

At that time, Liu Bei was very surprised by this map.

But the military adviser said that there were still errors in the Nakan map and it needed to be redrawn.

Liu Bei felt that it would be a waste to burn it, so he kept it in his hands and treasured it in the high palace.

He vaguely remembered that it was on this Kan map.

The military advisor drew a circle in Jingzhou.

Liu Bei was surprised.

He guessed that today's decision had already been made before the military advisor came out of the mountain, right?

Entering the study, he dismissed the servant.

We rummaged together in the study, and our hair was messy due to the rummaging.

Finally, I found it in a beautiful wooden box above the high pavilion.

Spread out the map and immediately look for the location of Jingzhou on it.

When he saw the big circle outside Jingzhou City Pass, Liu Bei's eyes widened and he was stunned in place!

The military advisor really had a plan in advance!

The land of Jingzhou has long been planned by the military advisor.

Doesn't that mean that from the time the military advisor appeared until now, everything has been proceeding in an orderly manner according to the military advisor's plan?

The strategist works step by step, every plan, every move is correct!

What kind of genius knowledge is this...?

Liu Bei was surprised and happy, and at the same time, there was a chill lingering on his back.

What surprised him was that the talents displayed by the military advisor were far more amazing than Liu Bei expected!

The fear lies in the fact that fortunately he persevered and invited the generals out of the mountain!
Otherwise, if the military advisor falls into Cao Cao's hands.

That is even more powerful!
Today, the one who can take over the land of Jingzhou is not Liu Bei, but Cao Mengde!

I sighed in my heart and shook my head repeatedly.

Zhuge Ming's status in Liu Bei's heart has risen to another level!
"I have a military advisor, if God can help me!"

In the Prefect's Mansion, Liu Bei was more cheerful and heroic than ever before!

At present, five armies are marching directly towards Guiyang, with nine and six counties in Jingzhou in hand, and the remaining three counties are also in the bag.

After only a few days of taking control of Jingzhou, he was able to grasp real power so easily!

All thanks to the military adviser’s ingenious plan!

Now, Liu Bei was so happy that he couldn't help but recall the past.

Think back to the beginning, when we were still in the new wilderness.

He was on tenterhooks day and night, and he had to beware of Cao Ren's attack on the city!
Now, I have become the lord of Jingzhou, with the money and food for the people of nine counties in my hand, I can be called a great prince!

The days in Xinye feel like a world away!
Looking at the Kanyu map placed on the table, Liu Bei smiled and said:

"Military advisors will help me. Based on Jingzhou, we can support the Han Dynasty just around the corner!"

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, Sun Qian is waiting outside the house."

Just as Liu Bei was sighing in his heart, the young tooth guard came outside to report.

Sun Gan?

Liu Bei put away the Kan map on the table and tidied up his appearance.

This is letting people in.

Sun Qian entered the house, took two steps at a time, and went straight to the study with a letter in his hand.

When he saw Liu Bei, he offered him his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, a letter from Xu Shu of Xuchang!"

"Is there a letter from Xu Shu?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but be overjoyed. He wrote the letter and opened the seal.

Above the letter is Xu Shu's unspeakable joy:

"Congratulations, my lord, for taking Jingzhou and securing the position of governor!"

"My lord invites Mr. Zhuge to come out, the big man is in high demand!"

"At the beginning, there were 36 students in Xiangyang Academy! All of them were outstanding! Xu Shu was not talented, so he had to study with his master to be appreciated by his lord!"

"I just regret that Xu Shu is trapped in Cao's camp and can no longer advise the lord!"

Looking at Xu Shu's letter, Liu Bei couldn't help but be shocked.

Xu Shu once studied with his husband?

And he also has 36 disciples? !

Who are these 36 disciples?Where are you again?Who do you work for? !

The sudden news surprised Liu Bei.

He originally thought that military advisors were extremely talented scholars.

But today I found out that the military advisor is just like Sima Hui, a teacher who teaches and solves doubts!
"Set up your mind for the heaven and earth, set up your destiny for the life and the people, follow the sages of the past, and create peace for the world!"

For some reason, what the military advisor once said came to Liu Bei's mind.

At that time, Liu Bei just lamented the grandeur of the military advisor.

Today I really understand.

A military advisor combines knowledge and action!

"Report!"

"Cao Cao pledged his loyalty to Xuchang! He was awarded the title of Five Good Generals and the Eight Tiger Cavalry! A strong morale town."

As the saying goes, where fortune and misfortune lie, and where misfortune rests, good fortune depends.

Liu Bei suddenly attacked and took Guiyang.

Although it is great joy, there are also hidden worries accompanying it.

How could Cao Cao of Xuchang just sit back and let Liu Bei's family dominate?
Liu Bei woke up from his joy.

He frowned lightly, packed up the letter, turned to Sun Qian and said:
"I'm going to see the military advisor. Don't disturb me!"

……

Xiangyang, Military Advisor's Mansion.

Military strategist Zhuge Ming crouched on his desk for a long time, refusing to raise his head.

This sitting lasted a whole day and night.

It's not that Zhuge Mingming's heart is hanging in the mirror and he doesn't feel trapped.

It's because the overall situation in Jingzhou is uncertain, and Cao Cao's army in Xuchang is waiting to move in the north.

Although it is certain that Guiyang will get it.

But if they can't resist Cao Cao's army, then the captured Jingzhou will be just a wedding dress for others.

In the army, Liu Bei can be happy, the generals can be happy, and the soldiers can be happy.

Only he, Zhuge Ming, could not relax.

Simply because he is the chief military advisor and is responsible for important military and political affairs.

What he has to face is Cao Cao's group of counselors, all the counselors in the world.

The enemy is many and we are few.

Even though he has talents and knowledge that he thinks are unmatched in the world, he cannot rely on his talents to be unreliable.

You must not do anything like that to hurt Zhongyong!

The book boy, who was holding a pen holder on the side and resting his chubby little face on the pen holder, suddenly lowered his head.

The little book boy woke up from his sleep and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Looking up, I saw that my husband was still writing furiously at his desk.

The little book boy couldn't help but said in a childish voice:

"Sir, you need to rest."

Zhuge Ming smiled softly when he heard this. He turned to look at the little book boy and said with a smile:

"Why, did you memorize all the disciple rules that you were asked to memorize?"

"I'm going to do a memorization test right now. If you stumble, I'll punish you by missing a meal, okay?"

When the little book boy heard this, he immediately became silent and quickly shook his head and waved his hands.

"We are all the same people but different species. What's behind?"

Zhuge Ming asked, and the little book boy immediately covered his ears, carefully placed the pen holder, and left as if running away.

As soon as he ran out of the study, he saw Duke Xuande visiting.

The little book boy stopped and bowed respectfully.

Then he covered his ears and ran away at a trot.

When Liu Bei saw the little book boy looking like this, he walked into the study and asked with a smile:

"Military advisor, are you blaming the book boy again?"

Zhuge Ming, who was sitting at his desk, heard his lord's voice.

He stood up immediately.

But because he stayed up all night and stood too hard, he was in a trance for a moment.

Seeing this, Liu Bei quickly stepped forward and supported Zhuge Ming's hands.

Looking up, he saw that Zhuge Ming looked haggard, and he complained with distress:

"Military advisor, no matter how complicated the important tasks are, don't delay your rest!"

After saying that, he asked the serving servants:

"The military advisor is working so hard, why don't you let him rest earlier?"

Zhuge Ming waved his hand, shook his head and said:

"My lord, don't blame others. I am determined to work diligently."

The military advisor worked so hard, Liu Bei saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

He sighed and ordered the boy:

"Go to my house quickly, fetch Angelica sinensis, and mix it into medicine for the military advisor."

The boy looked embarrassed when he saw this and whispered:
"Ah? My lord, Mr. Mi worked hard to get that for you. It is extremely precious." Liu Bei raised his brows and scolded:

"Confused! Isn't that what the medicine is for?"

"The military advisor has worked so hard, so what's the point in using just medicine?"

The boy quickly retreated and went back to his house to get some medicine.

The lord treats him as a brother.

Although Zhuge Ming didn't say anything, he took it all into his heart.

He opened his mouth and said sincerely:

"Thank you sir for your kindness."

Liu Bei came here originally because he wanted to talk to the military adviser about Xuchang.

Seeing the military advisor's appearance, he suppressed his words.

There is still some time left for Xuchang to reach Jingzhou, so he will not miss this time.

It's better to let the military advisor rest first.

While Liu Bei was thinking about it, Zhuge Ming also looked at his lord.

He saw that although his lord's eyebrows were relaxed, there were faint signs of frowning.

Zhuge Ming knew clearly that his master obviously had something to ask.

At present, the situation in Jingzhou is stable, and Zhou Yu in Changsha is also under control.

The only one who can make the Lord worry is probably Cao Cao of Xuchang.

Zhuge Ming chuckled and said:
"Master, are you here because of matters related to Xuchang?"

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and asked suspiciously:

"Do you already know the military situation in Xuchang, military advisor?"

Zhuge Ming shook his head:
"I don't know, it's just that there is nothing else that can worry my lord except Xuchang."

Liu Bei nodded, sighed softly and said:
"Hey, I didn't want to say anything, so as not to disturb the military advisor's rest."

"Since we've already talked about it, let's talk about it together."

With that said, Liu Bei told Zhuge Ming all the information sent by the scouts:
"Cao Cao awarded five good generals and eight tiger cavalry in Xuchang, and the morale of the town was great!"

"There are still three counties in Jingzhou that have not yet been decided, and Cao Cao is about to invade again."

"Jingzhou is no better than Jiangdong, and there are not many waterways. Cao Cao's army can use force."

"Although there have been a lot of new soldiers in the army, there is still a big gap compared to Cao Cao's 50-strong army."

"What should I do?"

Liu Bei sighed, feeling that the road ahead was dim.

Zhuge Ming pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said firmly:

"My lord, prepare to fight. Cao Cao will go south soon."

Liu Bei thought he heard wrongly, and turned to look at the military advisor in surprise.

"military adviser……"

I wanted to explain to the military advisor the huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves, and the slim chance of winning when facing the enemy head-on.

However, when I saw Zhuge Ming's firm eyes, I couldn't say the words that came to my lips.

At this moment, Liu Bei was in a daze.

I recall that when I was in Xinye, the military advisor was also so sure.

Looking back on past experiences, the military advisor made every effort and never missed a beat.

Although Jingzhou had not yet been completely conquered, Cao Cao came out again.

But Liu Bei believed it in his heart.

As long as the military advisor is here, there is no need to worry!

A military advisor is his confidence and confidence!

……

Inside Guiyang City
General's Mansion

Cai Mao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot when he heard the sounds of fighting outside the city.

I kept pacing back and forth in the lobby, feeling confused.

"Zhang Yun!"

"It's so hot now, why are you still sitting here!?"

"Get an idea quickly!"

Cai Hao, who was upset, looked at Zhang Yun sitting aside with an expressionless expression on his face, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose.

Zhang Yun's face was ashen, he stretched out five fingers and said: "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, these generals who have ten thousand enemies, led five armies to besiege Guiyang."

"At this time, the outside world cannot borrow any help, so what else can we do?"

As he spoke, Zhang Yun had a wry smile on his cheek.

During this period of time when troops were approaching the city, Zhang Yun, who had not slept for several days, had already developed gray hair on his temples.

"Since we can't fight, let's abandon the city and run away!?"

"Where there is life, there is hope!"

"As long as we can survive, today's revenge will be avenged tomorrow!"

Listening to Cai Mao's words, Zhang Yun's face showed sarcasm for the first time.

He reached out and grabbed a wine flask and said indifferently: "Liu Bei's five-pronged army has surrounded Guiyang into an iron barrel."

"Abandon the city and flee!?"

"Ha ha!"

"Where are you going?"

"I'm afraid that before you leave Guiyang City, your sergeants will cut off our heads and rush to claim credit from Liu Bei."

After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he raised his head and took a big sip of wine.

He stared at the frightened Cai Hao with dull eyes, his expression mostly helpless.

"what!"

Cai Hao frowned and quickly took down the sword hanging on the wall.

He drew his sword out of its sheath, slashed it in the air, and said angrily: "How dare they!?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Zhang Yun just buried his head in drinking. At this time, his will has been depressed to the extreme.

Since Liu Bei took control of Jingzhou, Zhang Yun has suffered many setbacks.

I remember that at the beginning, he assisted the general Cai Mao.

Making suggestions in this three-acre area of ​​Jingzhou can be regarded as prestigious.

But when he really felt the plan of Liu Bei's military adviser behind the scenes, he realized that his so-called strategy was just babbling.

"Guiyang overturned in just a moment."

"If we abandon the city and flee, those soldiers will lose their last line of defense."

"It is better to have your head cut off by one of your own people than to die without a complete body."

"It's better to wait for death, and there is still a chance of survival."

"vitality!?"

Cai Hao stuck the long sword in his hand on the wooden floor and said with a ferocious face: "If the counselor behind Liu Bei is really Zhuge Ming, you and I will definitely die without a burial place!"

"Life? Zhang Yun, tell me where does life come from!?"

Zhang Yun, who was lying casually on the ground, had red eyes and raised his head to take a gulp of wine.

He sighed with emotion: "I regret that I should have been an enemy of that Zhuge villager!"

"Otherwise, today, if we take the initiative to surrender the city, there is still a glimmer of hope."

"But now..."

Listening to Zhang Yun's regret, Cai Hao felt even more angry.

Why didn't he regret it too much! ?
If there was no enmity back then, why would it be like this today?
If I had known this was going to happen, I shouldn't have acted erratically in the first place.

Cai Hao strode forward and snatched the wine bottle from Zhang Yun's hand.

He raised his neck and took a big gulp of wine, and drank all the wine in the pot...
·
Xu Chang
The moon and stars are sparse, and the magpies fly south;
Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion
The candlelight swayed, and the figures looked longingly.

At this time, Cao Cao had finished undressing and washing, and was lying on the couch.

Looking through Liu Bei's strategy for rectifying Jingzhou, I felt mostly melancholy and distressed.

Since the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and completely controlled most of the north.

There are nine states in the world, and Prime Minister Cao alone has six of them.

The strength of the military front is unmatched!
But just when Cao Cao was about to lead his victorious army, go south in one fell swoop and unify the entire world.

But Liu Bei and Liu Xuande appeared in Jingzhou!

Liu Bei, who has good generals in his hands, can only be brave and reckless, and it is not a serious problem.

But now Liu Bei has Zhuge Military Advisor, and even the counselors around him are very afraid of this person.

At this time, Liu Bei's strategy and courage were complete, and it had become a trend.

At this time, if we raise our troops to go south, we may not be sure of victory.

In addition to Jiangdong Sun Quan, if Jingzhou Liu Bei joins forces with him.

Then the war that is coming in the near future will be many times more difficult than the original battle of Guandu with Yuan Shao.

But Cao Cao has decided to go south and want to dominate the world.

That's why I'm so worried about the war in Jingzhou.

As soon as his thoughts were confused, Cao Cao had a headache again.

Whoa!
Cao Cao threw away the bamboo slips in his hand and pressed his temples with both hands, struggling in pain.

"Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister!"

The maids serving on the left and right knelt down in panic.

"go out!"

"Everyone get out!"

"Be alone and be quiet!"

"Well..."

outside the prime minister's mansion
Sikong Huaxin asked for a meeting outside.

"Lord Sikong, the Prime Minister has taken a rest."

The old man, who had slightly white temples but was particularly energetic, narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "Please tell the Prime Minister that I have a plan to solve the Prime Minister's problem."

"But···"

"The Prime Minister will definitely meet me."

"Then please wait a moment Sikong."

Due to the identity of the other party, the sergeant outside the mansion had no choice but to convey the news to the prime minister.

Outside Cao Cao's bedroom

"Prime Minister, Sikong Huaxin pays his respects."

"He said there is a plan that can solve the prime minister's problem."

Bang!

The door of the room was originally closed, and the dimly lit dormitory suddenly became light.

Cao Cao looked so happy that he had no time to put on his shoes and stumbled open the door with his bare feet.

"Where is Sikong now!?"

"Wait outside the house!"

"Quick! Lead me forward to greet you!"

Cao Cao was walking barefoot and saw Sikong Huaxin in the distance.

When Hua Xin saw Cao Cao coming to greet him in person, he had no time to put on his shoes.

He couldn't help but feel a little more in his heart. He was about to bow and salute, but Cao Cao held him back.

Then Cao Cao bowed to Hua Xin respectfully.

Hua Xin was panic-stricken and quickly helped Cao Cao up. He was flattered and said: "Mr. Cao is the prime minister of my Han Dynasty. I am just a subordinate. Why should I be so humble?"

Prime Minister Cao stood up, stroking his palms and laughing happily, and said sincerely: "Sikong is a humble minister of the Han Dynasty. How dare you argue with Sikong about the title?"

Hua Xin said happily: "I know that the Prime Minister is suffering from heart disease, and I am willing to go to Jingzhou on behalf of the Prime Minister to make peace with Jingzhou and Jiangdong and submit to the imperial court to prevent the people from suffering."

Cao Cao looked overjoyed and said with a smile: "Sikong is willing to pay a visit in person, and the important matter that I am confused about can be easily solved!"

With that said, Cao Cao took Hua Xin's hand and entered the mansion together.

In the main hall

Cao Cao and Hua Xin sat facing each other.

Cao Cao naturally had some concerns about Hua Xin's proposal.

However, after meeting Hua Xin, he readily agreed to the matter.

First, Cao Cao needed a lot of time to prepare his army.

Secondly, Prime Minister Cao also had selfish motives.

"Sikong is going to Jingzhou this time. If he can meet Liu Bei's military advisor, can he be persuaded to come to Xuchang?"

"If this person is willing to come to Xuchang, I would like to worship him as the chief military advisor!"

Cao Cao personally poured a cup of tea for Hua Xin and pushed it over.

The latter took it respectfully, shook his head and said seriously: "This may not be easy."

Facing a great talent like Zhuge Ming, if you cannot submit to him, it will be a waste of money.

Although Hua Xin politely declined the offer, Cao Cao still did not give up.

One day, I must recruit this person to my account!
·
next morning
Hua Xin set off from Xuchang to Jiangdong.

The great Han Sikong Huaxin was a great talent.

In his early years, he worshiped Taiwei Chen Qiu as his disciple. He was the same disciple as Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, etc. He was also called Yilong together with Guan Ning and Bingyuan, and Hua Xin was the leader.

During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Ju was born as a filial and honest man and served as a doctor, but resigned due to illness.

He was recruited by the general He Jin and served as Shangshulang and prefect of Yuzhang, which won the hearts of the people.

Hua Xin was originally from Jiangdong, and he did not want to see Jiangdong and Jingzhou fall into war and make the people miserable.

He will definitely do his best during this trip to both places.

However, in addition to convincing Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Hua Xin had one more thing to do when he went south this time.

That is to go to Xiangyang and take a look;
See with your own eyes who the mastermind Liu Bei is, who has such magical powers!
