Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!
Chapter 87 Brothers are united, and their profits break gold!
Chapter 87 Brothers are united, and their profits break gold!
Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Liang appeared in Xiangyang at the same time, causing an uproar!
Guan Yu and many other generals believed in Zhuge Ming but not Kong Ming.
However, the major clans also have speculations.
After all, Zhuge Ming was once demoted to Zhuge Yong, and Zhuge Liang made it clear.
Even though they heard that all kinds of magical strategies came from Zhuge Wende, they still couldn't believe it.
Especially Huang Chengyan, he almost believed that the strategist with a lot of tricks was his sage.
This made him feel happy!
South County.
Inside the Huangfu compound.
Huang Chengyan, whose energy has been sluggish for several months since he appointed his son-in-law Zhuge Liang to assist Liu Bei, has gained a little more luster on his face recently.
If the virtuous son-in-law Kong Ming is in charge of Xiangyang, the Huang family's industry is destined to reach a higher level!
By then, most of the industries in the nine counties of Jingzhou will be in the hands of the Huang family.
In Jingzhou, which originally had four major families working hard, it won't be long before the Huang family becomes the dominant one.
Huang Chengyan looked at the industrial distribution map of Jingzhou in front of him, holding a teacup in one hand and stroking his temples with the other.
The look on his face was overjoyed.
"Kong Ming is dedicated to assisting Uncle Liu Huang. There will be so many industries in the nine counties of Jingzhou in the future, so we must think carefully in advance."
While Huang Chengyan was planning industrial development in his mind, he lowered his head and sipped tea.
Fortunately, Huang Chengyan also has a talented woman, Huang Yueying.
Otherwise, Kong Ming would have no time to take care of the family business, and he would be too old and weak.
It's okay to manage the family for a few more years, but if it lasts for a long time, it's definitely not an option.
Therefore, Huang Chengyan has made up his mind to hand over all the management to his daughter and son-in-law after integrating most of the properties in the nine counties of Jingzhou.
As for myself, I can let it go and retire in peace.
For the Jingzhou clan, it was originally a disaster.
But with the guidance of his precious son-in-law Kong Ming, it has become a step forward for the Huang family.
Even his long-time friend Pang Degong must be more respectful and humble in front of him.
Thinking of this, Huang Chengyan couldn't stop the smile on his face.
Looking at the industrial layout of Jingzhou's nine counties on the map, Huang Chengyan's mood became even better.
What if I use the power of my son-in-law Kong Ming to win over the properties of the nine counties in Jingzhou.
So what would Uncle Liu Huang think?
As Liu Bei's counselor, Kong Ming has a very respected status.
But there are a lot of interests involved, will Uncle Liu really ignore it?
What's more, it remains to be said whether Kong Ming is really Liu Bei's behind-the-scenes adviser.
If it were not Kong Ming, but Zhuge Yong...
"No! It must be my Xianxu. He is the man behind the scenes. Zhuge Mingyong is the puppet he launched to make Zhuge Yong bear the hatred of Cao Cao and the hatred of the Jingzhou clan. This way, the Huang family will not be implicated! Oops, it's still the case. Xianxu is thoughtful."
Not to mention controlling other industries in the nine counties of Jingzhou in one fell swoop, I am afraid that the other clans in Jingzhou will have to follow Cai Mao and become a thorn in Liu Bei's side.
After all, the four major families in Jingzhou were all targeting Liu Bei together.
Especially the turmoil that occurred in Xiangyang City some time ago.
It also pushed the conflict between the four major families in Jingzhou and Liu Bei to a peak.
Although Liu Bei initially chose to burn the letter, he promised not to interfere with the matter.
But there may be some expediency in this.
After Liu Bei finished taking care of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, he could hold Cao Cao's army southward.
I'm afraid we will have to settle accounts by then;
If Kong Ming is really the adviser behind Liu Bei, then everything is easy to say;
But if not...
Huang Chengyan leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes dim.
lost in thought.
Time passes minute by minute, and I don’t know how long it has passed.
Until a warning came from outside the hall.
This brought Huang Chengyan back from his thoughts.
"Sir, Mr. Pang De is here to pay his respects!"
Huang Chengyan, who suddenly came to his senses, subconsciously put away the industrial management map on his desk and stuffed it all into the cabinet.
After some adjustments, he calmly said: "Invite him in."
"It's my lord."
ta ta ta
There was a slight rush of steps outside the hall.
Before he could see him, he heard the joyful voice of Duke Pang De.
"Brother Huang, congratulations!"
"congratulations!"
"Hahaha!"
Mr. Pang Degong strode in with cheerful steps and a smile on his face.
Huang Chengyan, who was sitting on the main seat, also stood up to greet him.
"Brother Pang, what do you mean?"
Because of the changes in the Cai family, Huang Chengyan was already a little more fearful.
At this time, when I saw Mr. Pang De coming to congratulate me, I didn't know where the joy came from for a while.
"Brother Huang, are you trying to pretend to be confused?"
Pang Degong reached out and patted Huang Chengyan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Your good son-in-law, Zhuge Kongming!"
"Ok?"
Huang Chengyan looked at Mr. Pang Degong with sharp eyes and pretended to be puzzled: "Is Kong Ming there?"
"Brother Huang, it seems you really don't know."
"Then let me tell you the great news!"
"Some of the clan members saw with their own eyes that Kong Ming was active in Liu Bei's military advisor's house!"
Huang Chengyan trembled, and the previous haze was swept away: "What!?"
"Exactly!"
Pang Degong smiled broadly and said excitedly: "If we were just guessing before, now it's true!"
"Uncle Liu Huang dispatched his army to attack Guiyang."
"Kong Ming happens to be in Liu Bei's military advisor's house. Doesn't this prove that Kong Ming is strategizing!"
"This time, let's see how Kong Ming can hide!"
"Hahahaha!"
After hearing the news, Huang Chengyan's eyebrows gradually relaxed.
There was a bit of a smile in the corners of his eyes.
Pang Degong nodded and said thankfully: "If it weren't for Kong Ming, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's today would probably be our family's tomorrow."
"I'm just curious, what is Kong Ming hiding?"
"What can't he tell us?"
"The Jingzhou clan is now considered to be on good terms with Uncle Liu Huang, but why doesn't Kong Ming follow the trend and completely bind us to Uncle Liu Huang?"
"Or is it that Kong Ming has other plans for doing this?"
Huang Chengyan frowned, rubbed his temples and said, "Perhaps Kong Ming is not sure of victory when Cao Cao's army goes south."
"If we are tied to Liu Bei too early, Liu Bei will be defeated by then."
"Cao Cao will definitely vigorously purge the Jingzhou clan that has good relations with Liu Bei. At that time, there will be no real retreat."
Pang Degong suddenly realized: "Brother Huang's words woke up the dreamer!"
"No wonder we only supported Liu Bei with money and food, but not with soldiers and horses."
"Kong Ming's plan is so far-reaching that I can't even match it!"
"Brother Huang, I really envy you for having a good son-in-law!"
"If Brother Huang doesn't give up, I, the Pang family, are willing to ride for Brother Huang."
Huang Chengyan stood up and gently patted Pang Degong on the shoulder.
Narrowing his eyes and smiling, he said, "Old man, I'll give you a word here."
"In the future, as long as I, Huang Chengyan, have a mouthful of meat, Brother Pang will have a piece of the pie."
"The entire nine counties of Jingzhou are for you and me only!"
……
Chaisang
In executive room
Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu, sat upright in front of the documents, flipping through the Jiangdong files in front of him.
Since the Jiangdong clan was also powerful, the affairs that Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu, could actually control were extremely limited.
Many situations have to be controlled by the clan, making it difficult to take care of things.
Why did Gu Yong dare to speak out in the Wuhou Palace that day? ?
Without him, it's just because the Gu family is originally from a large family in Jiangdong and controls a large part of Jiangdong's economic lifeline.
Not to mention Sun Quan, even Zhou Yu did not dare to touch Gu Yong easily.
Although Zhang Zhao was a veteran of the two dynasties, he did not have a deep foundation in Jiangdong.
With the character of Governor Zhou Yu, if he wanted to kill Li Wei, he would just kill him.
Snapped!
Sun Quan threw the file in his hand on the document and touched his forehead with one hand.
He frowned, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The Jiangdong clan is deeply rooted, when will it end!"
"We should kill all these clans with one blow!"
In fact, it was common for clans to stand in large numbers during this period.
As the saying goes: a flowing political power, an iron clan.
It's just that among the three current forces, only Cao Cao dares to openly exclude the clan.
The celebrity Kong Rong is an example. Why did Cao Cao kill Kong Rong?
At the beginning of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao was fully preparing for the battle, but Kong Rong preached in Xuchang City that Cao Cao would be defeated.
At that time, such words spread to the military camp and had a great impact on morale.
Later, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, and when he came back, he found a reason to kill Kong Rong.
Tread Tread!Tread Tread!
"Lord!"
Lu Su hurried to the palace.
"Zijing, you came just in time!"
Sun Quan grabbed the file on the side, handed it to Lu Su and said, "This is the financial revenue and expenditure of Jiangdong last season. Take a look at it, Zijing."
"Aren't these clans going too far?"
Lu Su took the file with both hands and lowered his head to read.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head and said, "These clans have been entrenched in Jiangdong for a long time. These..."
These arrogances have become commonplace for Jiangdong.
When Sun Ce was in charge of Jiangdong, he could only acquiesce in allowing the family to control the economy.
Now if Sun Quan wants to make a fuss about this matter, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
Sun Quan also knew in his heart that this matter was closely related, and saw that Lu Su was silent for a long time.
He simply threw the file in his hand aside, raised his head and asked, "Zijing came here in a hurry, what's the matter?"
"Zhuge Kongming appeared in Jingzhou, but Zhuge Kongming said that he was not the instigator of Liu Bei, but that the instigator of Liu Bei was his brother..."
Sun Quan was silent when he heard Lu Su's words.
Eyes moving!
……
The news of the destruction of Guiyang City is like a gust of wind
Soon it swept the entire Jiangdong region.
After getting the news, Zhang Hong rushed to Zhang Zhao's residence as soon as possible.
"The city of Guiyang has been destroyed recently. Duke Zhang may have heard about it."
Zhang Zhao, who was on the bed, shook his head slightly and sighed: "Although I don't know, I also expected it."
"Liu Bei suddenly emerged as an army, and he was assisted by virtuous counselors."
"How can Cai Mao and Zhang Yun compete?"
Zhang Hong nodded in agreement and said: "What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely true, but what is unexpected is that Cai Hao actually ended up being executed."
"Ok?"
A look of shock flashed across Zhang Zhao's eyes.
Slash all over the house!
How much hatred must there be for someone to act like this?
Aren’t Liu Bei and Emperor Liu always known for their benevolence and righteousness?
Why is this so?
Zhang Hong shook his head and said: "Is it possible that Liu Bei's intention to kill everyone in the Cai family was not Liu Bei's intention."
"But Kong Ming!"
"Kong Ming?"
Zhang Zhao grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands and sat up: "Zigang, are you talking about Zhuge Kongming of Wollongong!?"
"Exactly!"
"Someone witnessed with their own eyes that Zhuge Kongming was planning something in Liu Bei's military advisor's house."
"The name Wolong is a household name in Jingzhou. No one doesn't recognize it, and no one can mistake it."
Zhang Zhao nodded slowly, "If it's Kong Ming, that would make sense."
"When the Cai Mao clan chose to kill their leader and seize power, they should have expected to end up like this."
"This can be regarded as their own destruction!"
Zhang Hong nodded and agreed with Zhang Zhao's view.
While the two of them were sighing, the housekeeper of Zhang Mansion came to report outside the house.
"Master, Zhuge Jin is here to visit!"
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong immediately looked at each other, and the latter explained: "Please forgive me, Mr. Zhang. When I learned that the adviser behind Liu Bei was Kong Ming, I thought of asking his brother Zhuge Jin to come and find out."
"I didn't inform Mr. Zhang in advance, so I hope Mr. Zhang will be punished!"
Zhang Zhao narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Now that Zhuge Liang is serving under Liu Bei, his brother Zhuge Jin naturally knows him best."
"Inviting him to come would be a good idea."
With that said, Zhang Zhao turned to look outside the room and said, "Please come here to see Tzuyu!"
"Yes!"
After waiting for a long time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar walked into the house.
I paid homage to the two Jiangdong ministers with no leakage of etiquette.
"Jin, meet Zhang Gong and Zhang Bu!"
Zhang Zhao was ill in bed and could not get up, so Zhang Hong hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhuge Jin.
He smiled and said, "They are all members of our own family, why does Tzuyu need to be so polite."
Zhang Zhao also said with a smile: "Someone is ill and can't get up to greet me. I hope Tzuyu won't be surprised!"
"Please sit down!"
Facing two senior ministers, Zhuge Jin did not dare to trust him.
After some greetings, I cautiously took my seat.
"Does Ziyu know who is the mastermind behind Liu Bei's account?"
Zhang Hong went straight to the point without any hesitation.
Zhuge Jin didn't get the news from Xiangyang, so he naturally didn't understand what Zhang Hong meant.
"What does Zhang Bu mean by this? I hope you can elaborate further."
"Someone recently got news that the person strategizing under Liu Bei's account is none other than your younger brother Zhuge Liang!"
"what!?"
Zhuge Jin's expression froze and he almost sat up from his chair.
After calming down, Zhuge Jin asked puzzledly: "How did you learn about this news?"
"As far as I know, my brother has never served under Liu Bei."
Zhang Zhao, who was lying on the hospital bed, took over the conversation and continued: "Perhaps your brother is hiding it intentionally?"
"After all, Ziyu is planning for Jiangdong now, and Kongming has joined Liu Bei's camp."
"good."
Zhang Hong nodded and explained: "Someone did see Kong Ming in Liu Bei's military advisor's residence."
"There is no doubt about that."
"If he hadn't served in Liu Bei's camp, how could Kong Mingyou have appeared in the Military Advisor's Mansion in Xiangyang?"
After hearing Er Zhang's words, Zhuge Jin's original firmness also wavered.
Did Kong Ming really surrender to Liu Bei?
However, when I wrote to Kong Ming some time ago, he still personally stated that the military advisor under Liu Bei's account was definitely not him.
But now...
Zhuge Jin's face was also full of shock;
He wisely retreated Cao Ren's [-]-strong army and devoured Jingzhou.
These do look like Kong Ming's handiwork, but why should he hide them?
Zhuge Jin stood up and said, "I will write a letter to my brother and ask for the reason."
"If he is really planning under Liu Bei's account, then the two of us can help the Sun and Liu families to have no war."
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong nodded, cupped their hands and said, "That's great!"
Nowadays, Liu Bei is getting stronger and stronger, and he is far from the Xinye Liu Huangshu of the past.
Liu Xuande at this time is a better friend than an enemy!
Especially when Cao Cao's millions of troops are about to move south, if they can form an alliance with Liu Bei.
Then the chance of winning against Cao Cao's army will be better.
·
That night
The moon is as cool as water
Xuchang City
Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion
After discussing the strategy of Jingzhou with Xun Yu and other counselors, we missed dinner time.
At this time, Cao Cao was in his mansion, hosting a banquet with several counselors to have a meal together.
Cao Cao took the lead, accompanied by several military advisors including Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Chen Qun.
While eating, several people talked about the army's march south.
The most difficult thing at the moment is the mastermind behind Liu Bei!
With him around, this battle going south will have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.
But I'm afraid it won't be easier than the battle of Guandu with Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao's military advisers have been planning painstakingly in recent days, all because of this matter.
It is true that Liu Bei is the mastermind behind the scenes, and he is really unpredictable and unpredictable!
You have to be careful again and again!
Halfway through dinner, a scout came to report!
"Prime Minister, there is news from Xiangyang City."
"Zhuge Liang appears in Liu Bei's military advisor's residence!"
"The mastermind behind Liu Bei is not Zhuge Ming, but Zhuge Wolong!"
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes widened: "What!?"
Bang!
The wooden bowl filled with rice in his hand was knocked upside down on the document.
He raised his hands and said angrily: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Such a great talent, why don't you come to serve me, Cao Cao!?"
"You want to work for a mat weaver and shoe seller!?"
"I feel sorry for being alone! I feel sorry for being alone!"
Several counselors present were also shocked.
The mastermind behind Liu Bei's account turned out to be Zhuge Wolong! ?
Although Kong Ming was the biggest suspect at first, Cai Mao's letter later confirmed that it was Zhuge Ming!
Now I got this news again.
It really shocked everyone!
After Yi Tong vented his anger, Cao Cao calmed down a little and swept the rice on the document back into the wooden bowl.
After lowering his head and taking a few mouthfuls, he muttered: "Zhuge Wolong!"
Xun Yu, who was sitting on the side, sighed: "I didn't expect that it was actually Zhuge Wolong!"
"Mr. Shui Jing said that if a sleeping dragon and a phoenix chick can live together, the world will be at peace."
"Liu Bei was able to help the wind rise because he had Zhuge Wolong behind him."
Jia Xu, who was sitting aside, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, raised his hands in a low voice and said, "Lord!"
"This person's plans are far-reaching, and we are far inferior to them!"
"If Zhuge Liang cannot be used by the Lord, he must be killed!"
The other counselors also raised their hands to express their approval.
Cao Cao put down the wooden bowl in his hand and looked up at the starry sky outside the house.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Bei is so virtuous and capable, but he can actually get the help of Shence Zhuge!"
……
February.
Winter is over and spring is blooming.
Although the scenery cannot be said to be pleasant with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the ice and snow accumulated in the winter have all melted away, revealing a spacious plain.
The fish also broke holes in the frozen river water, and the fine ice ballast washed down along the rapid water flow upstream.
Everything shows signs of recovery and vitality.
However, this vitality was the only thing that showed no mercy for the big man.
In Xuchang City, Cao Cao handed in an imperial edict and announced to the world that he wanted his army to go south to attack Liu Bei!
The news spread across the entire land of Kyushu.
All the princes from all sides were waiting and watching, wanting to see who would win between the newly rising lord of Jingzhou and Cao Mengde, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!
News that Cao Cao intended to attack Liu Bei naturally spread to Jingzhou.
……
Xiangyang City, on the stage of worship.
Fifteen shirtless drummers stood one meter apart, holding smashed drumsticks and waiting for orders.
Under the stage of worship, there are pavilions in all directions.
The five good generals were in front, and the deputy generals and generals of the various ministries took their seats gradually according to their military ranks.
Under the pavilion are the school flags of the three armies on the left, center and right, and the seats of the commanders.
Further down, standing in rows, are Liu Bei's 23 troops!
Stand on the general worship platform and look down.
It was dark and overwhelming.
23, if it weren’t for the plains, we wouldn’t be able to stand at all!
There are black characters on a white background, and the military flag embroidered with Tenghu is making a sound.
The "Guan" flag, the "Zhang" flag and the "Yellow" flag fluttered in the wind.
The "Liu" flag is the most dazzling!
The bright white background looks even whiter under the sunlight. .
It seems to indicate that the lord of this military flag will bring clarity to the gloomy world of the Han Dynasty!
Since Liu Bei's uprising, he has never had such a vast number of troops.
The faces of the soldiers holding axes and axes were full of perseverance and determination.
That comes from trust in Liu Bei.
These soldiers firmly believe that by throwing their lives and blood, they can bring a good life to their lord!
Bring peace and peace without war!
Under the stage of worship, among the pavilions in all directions.
Zhang Fei was so excited that he kept rubbing his big hands.
"Second brother, there has never been such a big battle since our uprising!" "I'm so happy!"
"Look at my hands that are trembling!"
"Hey, second brother, what does this feel like?"
Zhang Fei didn't know that he was excited.
It’s no wonder he was excited, because even the calm-minded Guan Erye couldn’t hide his excitement in such a battle.
Guan Yu gently stroked his beard, pressed down Zhang Fei's trembling hand, and said calmly:
"Third brother, be more careful. All the soldiers are watching. Don't embarrass your elder brother."
Although Guan Yu said this, his trembling lips still betrayed his true feelings.
Zhao Yun, who wore a silver helmet and silver armor, couldn't help but feel aroused when he saw his two brothers looking like this.
He looked back at the 23 troops behind him, and then turned to look at the general worship platform above.
At this time, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a little dazed in his heart.
Once upon a time, when he was still following Gongsun Zan, he never had the chance to stand out.
At that time, the Lord, who was still in a state of decline, never thought that he would become so powerful in just a few years!
The strength of his troops is seven times greater than that of Gongsun Zan!
Zhao Yun's dream in this life is to find a wise master who will go through fire and water for him and work together to achieve the same great cause.
But at this moment, the Ming Lord has been obtained and the career has been advanced!
Unconsciously, half of his dream has come true!
And the remaining half is not only Zhao Yun's dream.
It is also the dream of all civil and military personnel in the entire military camp!
The ability to realize all of this is the credit of military advisor Mr. Zhuge.
Without Mr. Zhuge, how could there be a platform for worshiping generals in Jingzhou today?
Without Mr. Zhuge, I am afraid that Xinye would have gone bankrupt!
An army cannot be without commanders, generals, or masters.
However, in Zhao Yun's heart, the most indispensable thing in the army is the military advisor!
It was the military advisor who connected all their generals together and exerted unprecedented power!
Huang Zhong's beard and hair are all white, but he doesn't look old at all.
He looked up at the general worship platform with a smile.
The lord has set up such a large formation today, and he already has a guess as to why.
If it weren't for the military advisor, who else in this army would be worthy of the whole army's attendance?
Looking back at the beginning, the military advisor wrote a letter asking Nanman to surrender.
He also defeated Cao's army in Xinye.
Entering Jingzhou, he thundered his troops and took over the three counties of Guiyang!
One by one, step by step, we created the grand occasion of today's 23-strong army marching together.
Now that Jingzhou has been secured, most of the generals and soldiers in Jingzhou do not know who is the commander-in-chief and chief military advisor of the three armies!
Come to think of it, today, the Lord will publicly worship Mr. Zhuge as his chief military advisor!
The chief military advisor is selected, and the three armies have a leader.
Coupled with Mr. Zhuge's superb strategic talent.
The 23-strong army will surely be able to command like an arm, and fight wherever directed, and the battle will be invincible!
Thinking of this, the smile on Huang Zhong's face became even brighter.
Wei Yan, Wenpin, Chen Dao, Huo Jun, Li Yan and other generals also had their own ideas.
Today's grand scene will never be seen before or after in a vacuum!
Civil servants such as Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue could not conceal their excitement.
Zhuge's position as military advisor is finally settled!
In the eager anticipation of the three armies, Liu Bei walked up to the platform to pay homage to the generals.
He was condescending, overlooking everyone.
At this moment, his heart was racing and he had mixed feelings.
Once upon a time, he and Cao Cao had a drink and discussed heroes.
At that time, Cao Cao asserted that the only heroes in the world are envoys and Cao Er.
Since the incident of the Yidaizhao, there have been many twists and turns.
Fortunately, Mr. Feng helped me, otherwise how could I have built the family business I have today?
When I was in Xinye, how could I have dared to imagine the scene today?
I recall that after my husband followed me, he worked very hard and took care of far more things than his lord!
March, strategy, military provisions, people, and popular support.
As the mastermind, Mr. could have just focused on strategy.
However, my husband did everything himself and devoted himself to the great cause of supporting the Han Dynasty.
Such sincere passion, such outstanding talents,
Liu Bei would even ask himself, what virtues and abilities do I have that I can be assisted by someone like my husband?
And today, this question has an answer.
With the monarch and his subjects united, Liu Bei decided to give Zhuge Ming unconditional trust!
He stood on the platform to worship the generals and spoke passionately:
"Today, all the generals of the army are gathered together to announce something important."
"Since the three brothers Liu Beiju and I started the rebellion, we must have the trust of the fierce generals and follow them loyally. Only then can we have the vast and brave army we have today!"
"However, I, Liu Bei, commanded the three armies and did not achieve even an inch of success."
"From the beginning of the incident to the present, it is all thanks to military advisor Zhuge Wende that we have achieved today's achievements."
"I am ignorant of virtue, like a bird losing its wings, like a fish losing water, like a man losing his arm!"
"Today, I worship Wende as the commander-in-chief of the three armies! He also serves as the chief military advisor of our army! He commands the 23 troops in Jingzhou!"
"Give the general the seal of command, the seal of the military advisor, the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops, and the sword to kill the general!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar...
……
Liu Bei's powerful words resounded throughout the city like an eternal bell.
Everyone on and off the platform, no matter how big or small their official rank was, was stunned and dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears.
Appoint the military division commander as the commander-in-chief of the three armies? !
Commanding 23 troops? !
Grant the governor's seal, the general's seal, the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops, and the general-killing sword?
This...doesn't this put the general and division on an equal footing with the Lord?
The Lord actually trusts and values Zhuge Military Advisor so much? !
On the general stage, even the drummer waiting to beat the drum couldn't believe his ears.
They all turned their heads in disbelief and looked at their lord Liu Bei!
Since ancient times, it is enough for those who have high merits and no title, and are highly regarded as ministers.
But it is rare to see someone like my lord, who has full authority to manage the entire Jingzhou and the army as a reward!
To be able to achieve this for the lord requires more than just establishing a world-shattering achievement!
It is even more important to gain the Lord's full trust.
Even if there is trust, there will never be a master who can do this!
Sentiment, shock, astonishment, and surprise instantly spread throughout Xiangyang City!
The same person who was shocked was the military advisor Zhuge Ming.
He never thought that his lord would give him such a huge reward!
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces!General's seal!Deploy troops and tiger talisman!Cutting sword!
This... this is basically equalizing his status with the lord!
He also enjoys the rights that the lord enjoys!
Liu Bei said:
"Military advisor, please go up to the platform to pay homage to the generals and receive your orders!"
After Liu Bei finished speaking, the fifteen-lei drummer immediately came to his senses.
They beat the red drumsticks in their hands hard.
"Boom--!"
"Boom--!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Two short and one long, the drum sound is melodious and inspiring.
Go on stage and get a seal!
Zhuge Ming stepped forward and walked onto the platform to worship the generals.
He thought that what awaited him would be unprecedented silence.
But what he never expected was.
As soon as he revealed half of his body, he was greeted by cheers that shook the entire Xiangyang City!
"The military is mighty!"
"The military advisor is domineering!"
"With the military advisor in command, we will be invincible!"
23 strong men roared at the top of their lungs, their faces turned red from exerting themselves, and the veins on their necks popped out!
Among Liu Bei's army, the deeds of military advisor Zhuge Ming are widely circulated.
From generals to pawns, there is no one who does not know how to make plans as a military advisor. Their plans can determine the fate of mountains and rivers!
Throughout the ages, when marching and fighting, even if they are battle-hardened soldiers, who is not afraid of death?
However, if you can meet a good general and a good plan.
If we fight a war, the death rate will be greatly reduced!
The more battles you win, the more you win, the rewards will be generous, and you can also make achievements and gain promotions!
Being led by a general like Military Advisor Zhuge, what soldier would be unconvinced?
The cheers and shouts made Zhuge Ming feel a little dazed!
Once upon a time, I studied at Shuijing Villa.
He was demoted to "Mediocre" by Mr. Shui Jing and became a shame to the Zhuge family. He was even expelled from the family!
In Xiangyang, I wanted to build a school to educate children and enlighten the people.
But Cai Mao burned down the school and destroyed the classics!
In Nanyang thatched cottage, one lives for many years, and the years are wasted.
Now, he has been recognized by the 23 troops!
He was sincerely convinced by the 23-strong army!
Zhuge Ming's footsteps became firm and determined!
Standing on the platform to worship the generals, he looked at the many generals in the square pavilions!
The moment Zhuge Ming appeared, all these generals who were sitting stood up.
Zhuge Ming's eyes swept over them one by one.
Every time a general passes by, he will get a nod from them.
Looking at Huang Zhong.
Veteran Huang Zhong's face was filled with a happy smile.
I have wasted years and suffered all kinds of hardships, but now I finally have the joy of suffering.
Mr. Zhuge, you are worth it all!
Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, the veteran is convinced!
……
Looking at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's face was filled with an excited smile.
Mr. Zhuge, from the beginning to the end, I will think that you are not a thing in the pool!
Among all the military strategists in the world, you are undoubtedly the best!
Without military advisors, we would not be here today!
As early as the Battle of Xinye, the general has been sincerely convinced of you, Mr. Zhuge!
Now, all the rewards from the Lord are what you deserve!
If others are dissatisfied, they will be the first to refuse!
Apart from my lord, from now on, Mr. Zhuge, you will be the person that I admire the most!
This silver spear will fight for you and the lord!
……
Looking at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei had a silly smile on his face.
Military Advisor, I, Mr. Zhang, have long regarded you as a brother!
Although at the beginning, I felt that you were boasting a lot, but your ability was not necessarily great.
I was still very angry with you afterwards, thinking that you could neither dance with a gun nor with a stick.
All I do is sit at my desk all day long, delving into some scheming, and can’t wait for the elegant hall!
However, as the lord's family fortune grows, his soldiers and horses become stronger and stronger!
I've also changed my mind about you.
I know how ignorant and childish I used to be.
You don't have the same understanding as me, but you have repeatedly assigned me military exploits!
Military advisor, you are so brotherly!
Although you and I are not sworn brothers, in our hearts, you are our brother!
I feel comfortable giving you the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces!I feel happy too!
Otherwise, if it were anyone else, except the eldest brother, whoever dares to claim it, we would pick him with a spear!
From now on, you say one and I am the same!
……
Looking at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu gently stroked his beautiful beard and smiled calmly.
Military Advisor, I have always seen your hard work along the way.
If we say who among this army is the most dedicated to the Lord, except for you, the military advisor, there is no one else.
Ask yourself, if I had the talent of a military advisor, I would probably be complacent and slack off several times.
However, the military strategist repeatedly made clever plans and accomplished extraordinary feats, but never once did he achieve anything.
After every victory, the military advisor frowned.
Being an enemy of Cao Cao is no less than seeking the skin of a tiger!
There are many counselors in Cao Cao's army, and if they work together, they must have many strategies.
And you fought against Cao Cao's advisers in the clouds and stood in an invincible position. This is a shocking thing for heaven and man!
But I also know that military advisors are walking on thin ice and know that my eldest brother cannot withstand a single failure.
Sleep at three o'clock and get up at five o'clock.
Every time there is a certain rotation of night duty, you can see the bright lights of the military counselor's camp.
I have nothing but respect for you!
Apart from eldest brother, you are the only one who deserves to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies!
……
Although many generals said nothing, they looked at each other and Zhuge Ming knew clearly.
He was recognized by the generals.
Standing on the stage of worship, he had mixed feelings.
There are thousands of words in my heart that I want to express.
But Zhuge Ming always felt that these words were a bit false.
The king and his ministers are united, and my lord trusts me so much, so there is no need to say more!
Thousands of words finally converged into one sentence:
"When Cao Cao goes south, I will defeat Cao Cao! To thank my lord!"
…………
News of Liu Bei's award ceremony in Xiangyang spread to Xuchang...
The news that Zhuge Ming officially came out swept the world.
However, the princes from all sides do not know Zhuge Ming's real name!
I only know that Zhuge's name is Wende!
As for who this Zhuge Wende is, no one knows.
However, besides Zhuge Liang, the man of the Zhuge family who is known as Wolong, who else can outwit Cao Cao many times?
The princes from all sides were shocked by Liu Bei's reward!
No one thought that Liu Bei would be willing to do such a huge thing this time!
What's the difference between being rewarded like this and giving up the foundation you've built to others?
Xuchang, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Looking at the secret message sent from the direction of Xiangyang, Cao Cao frowned and his eyebrows twitched!
He repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the secret letter.
From beeswax, to standards, to special marks that only he can identify.
All of these are in line with the specifications, and every one of them proves that this secret letter is sent by a genuine Xiangyang secret agent!
However, the contents of the secret message were too shocking.
So much so that Cao Cao couldn't believe that these were actually true!
To reward the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and grant him the Taimu Seal, the General Seal, the Tiger Talisman for Trooping Troops, and the General-killing Sword? !
Is Liu Bei crazy? !
With these in hand, if Zhuge hears virtue, he can rebel and establish himself as a prince!
Isn't Liu Bei afraid of this?
Aren't you afraid that Zhuge's desire for virtue and power will seduce him and take away his inheritance?
Cao Cao doesn't believe that there is no one in this world who is unambitious!
I would rather let the world down, than let the world down on me!
Liu Bei's unconditional trust in Zhuge Ming is something that Cao Cao would never be able to achieve in this lifetime!
In his eyes, Liu Bei's move was clearly a huge gamble!
He's gambling on people's hearts!
Bet on Zhuge Wende's people's hearts!
"Why not award it to Zhuge Kongming?!"
"Is it possible that it is Zhuge Wende who has been advising Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang has just come out?"
For a moment, Cao Cao had a splitting headache.
However, in the blink of an eye, a poisonous plan has taken hold!
Okay, you Liu Bei, you are so courageous.
If you hand over your military power today, you will be killed tomorrow.
In this case, there is no need for me to take action. I will just wait for Zhuge Wende to recruit villains and let you kill each other!
By then, I will reap the benefits and swallow Jingzhou without a single blow!
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and sneered.
He ordered around and shouted in a deep voice:
"Soldiers!"
The news that Prime Minister Cao was ordering troops to go on an expedition spread throughout Xuchang instantly.
The whole of Xuchang was in turmoil, and all officials were cautious.
Military division mansion.
Xun You, Chen Qun, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Zhong Yao quickly left the house.
Follow the mighty troops and horses to the outside of the city.
The 56 troops gathered together.
In an instant, dark clouds fell over the city, and the flags were flying!
The fully armed Cao Cao stood on his horse, holding the reins in his hand and a winning smile on his face!
The five military advisors followed closely behind, each with their own thoughts in mind.
After the army, on top of Xuchang City.
The young emperor Liu Xie, accompanied by a group of civil and military officials, watched the prime minister leave the city.
"Prime Minister! The sky is high and the road is far away. I hope I can return it as soon as possible. Victory and victory!"
Emperor Liu Xie read the message loudly.
Although he said this with his mouth, he was cursing in his heart.
An old thief from the Cao family!This time we must lose completely!Lost to the emperor's uncle!Those who lose will lose everything!No hair or nails!
On the top of the city, all the officials in Xuchang City appeared together.
In front of the army, Cao Cao, who was standing on horseback, heard the little emperor shouting.
He glanced back, then sneered on his face.
What was the little emperor thinking? How could he, a scheming old fox, not know?
Behind Cao Cao, the Xiahou brothers looked at each other and chuckled.
No one in the Cao family camp has any respect for this little emperor.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. When I go this time, I will definitely take Uncle Liu Huang's head and give it to you!"
The little emperor was horrified when he heard this.
He was so frightened that he would have fallen to the ground if he had not been supported by his personal supervisor.
Seeing the frightened look on the little emperor's face, Cao Cao smiled contemptuously.
Then he ordered loudly:
"The whole army, move out!"
"Open up!"
"Open up!"
"Open up!"
Military orders were passed from level to level, but the 56-strong army would not move at all, but a movement would be like moving mountains and reclaiming seas!
Vigorous and vigorous!
The soldiers marched in unison, causing the city gates of Xuchang to tremble slightly.
The flags are flying and the army is mighty!
Cars and horses clear the way, food and grass go first!
Under the protection of the Five Tigers and the Eight Tigers, Prime Minister Cao Cao looks down upon all things in the world like a king in the dust!
This time the army goes south, it will be conquered and the battle will be fruitful!
Liu Bei, wait and be killed!
………………
Xiangyang, Military Advisor's Mansion.
After returning from the award ceremony, Zhuge Ming changed into his court clothes and returned to his study.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his clan brother Zhuge Liang who had already woken up.
When brothers meet, they treat each other with respect.
After some salutes, Zhuge Ming smiled and said:
"Brother, what are the habits of living in this house?"
"This place is not as peaceful as sleeping in the clan. If there is anything inappropriate, just mention it and I will ask them to replace it for you."
Facing his brother's concern, Zhuge Liang quickly waved his hand.
He served tea to his brother and said:
"Brother, Liang is not feeling unwell."
"Today's award ceremony, my brother was awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, taking charge of military and political power. He is truly worthy of one person and superior to ten thousand people."
"I have long since determined that my brother is no ordinary person and will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"It really came true today!"
"After today, let's see if there are still people in the family who say you are a 'mediocre'!"
Zhuge Ming was awarded the title of commander-in-chief of the three armies. Zhuge Liang was happy for his brother from the bottom of his heart.
Zhuge Liang knew this when he was still studying with Mr. Shui Jing.
This brother of his is by no means a mediocre person!
It is really undeserved to be awarded the title "Yong".
And because of this "yong" word, how many hardships did you encounter in the future?
Zhuge Liang knew very well that his elder brother's talents and strategies were not weaker than his own.
Even worse!
Today, I finally get to see my brother look proud and elated, cleansed of his dust, and I feel very happy.
When Zhuge Ming heard this, he smiled, waved his hands, and said softly:
"In his position, he will seek his position. I am really flattered that my lord has such trust in me!"
"Now that I have been awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, I will work harder in the future and repay the Lord with fruitful political achievements."
With that said, Zhuge Ming asked:
"Brother, you have reached the official age and have never thought about leaving the mountain?"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan slightly when he heard this, smiled and shook his head.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Brother, as long as you are here, there is no need for me, Zhuge Kongming... I can only be my brother's staff!"
"That's fine, it's up to you."
Seeing that his brother agreed, Zhuge Liang sat down again.
He looked up at his brother, a sly look in his eyes.
Shaking his feather fan gently, Zhuge Liang said:
"Brother, I know what you are thinking about?"
Zhuge Ming also chuckled when he heard this.
There is an inexplicable tacit understanding between two smart people.
He smiled and said:
"In that case, then you and I each write down what we are thinking in our hands and see if they are the same!"
Zhuge Liang nodded, he wrote down, and put his hands on the table.
The two looked at each other and then turned their hands at the same time.
I saw the same two words written on the palms of both sides:
"Jiangdong!"
"Hahaha, the one who knows me is my brother Liang!"
Zhuge Liang also smiled and shook his feather fan.
It was really enjoyable to talk to my brother today.
Brothers are of one heart, and their profits can break gold!
He stood up and said to his brother:
"Brother, let me go to Jiangdong!"
(End of this chapter)
Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Liang appeared in Xiangyang at the same time, causing an uproar!
Guan Yu and many other generals believed in Zhuge Ming but not Kong Ming.
However, the major clans also have speculations.
After all, Zhuge Ming was once demoted to Zhuge Yong, and Zhuge Liang made it clear.
Even though they heard that all kinds of magical strategies came from Zhuge Wende, they still couldn't believe it.
Especially Huang Chengyan, he almost believed that the strategist with a lot of tricks was his sage.
This made him feel happy!
South County.
Inside the Huangfu compound.
Huang Chengyan, whose energy has been sluggish for several months since he appointed his son-in-law Zhuge Liang to assist Liu Bei, has gained a little more luster on his face recently.
If the virtuous son-in-law Kong Ming is in charge of Xiangyang, the Huang family's industry is destined to reach a higher level!
By then, most of the industries in the nine counties of Jingzhou will be in the hands of the Huang family.
In Jingzhou, which originally had four major families working hard, it won't be long before the Huang family becomes the dominant one.
Huang Chengyan looked at the industrial distribution map of Jingzhou in front of him, holding a teacup in one hand and stroking his temples with the other.
The look on his face was overjoyed.
"Kong Ming is dedicated to assisting Uncle Liu Huang. There will be so many industries in the nine counties of Jingzhou in the future, so we must think carefully in advance."
While Huang Chengyan was planning industrial development in his mind, he lowered his head and sipped tea.
Fortunately, Huang Chengyan also has a talented woman, Huang Yueying.
Otherwise, Kong Ming would have no time to take care of the family business, and he would be too old and weak.
It's okay to manage the family for a few more years, but if it lasts for a long time, it's definitely not an option.
Therefore, Huang Chengyan has made up his mind to hand over all the management to his daughter and son-in-law after integrating most of the properties in the nine counties of Jingzhou.
As for myself, I can let it go and retire in peace.
For the Jingzhou clan, it was originally a disaster.
But with the guidance of his precious son-in-law Kong Ming, it has become a step forward for the Huang family.
Even his long-time friend Pang Degong must be more respectful and humble in front of him.
Thinking of this, Huang Chengyan couldn't stop the smile on his face.
Looking at the industrial layout of Jingzhou's nine counties on the map, Huang Chengyan's mood became even better.
What if I use the power of my son-in-law Kong Ming to win over the properties of the nine counties in Jingzhou.
So what would Uncle Liu Huang think?
As Liu Bei's counselor, Kong Ming has a very respected status.
But there are a lot of interests involved, will Uncle Liu really ignore it?
What's more, it remains to be said whether Kong Ming is really Liu Bei's behind-the-scenes adviser.
If it were not Kong Ming, but Zhuge Yong...
"No! It must be my Xianxu. He is the man behind the scenes. Zhuge Mingyong is the puppet he launched to make Zhuge Yong bear the hatred of Cao Cao and the hatred of the Jingzhou clan. This way, the Huang family will not be implicated! Oops, it's still the case. Xianxu is thoughtful."
Not to mention controlling other industries in the nine counties of Jingzhou in one fell swoop, I am afraid that the other clans in Jingzhou will have to follow Cai Mao and become a thorn in Liu Bei's side.
After all, the four major families in Jingzhou were all targeting Liu Bei together.
Especially the turmoil that occurred in Xiangyang City some time ago.
It also pushed the conflict between the four major families in Jingzhou and Liu Bei to a peak.
Although Liu Bei initially chose to burn the letter, he promised not to interfere with the matter.
But there may be some expediency in this.
After Liu Bei finished taking care of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, he could hold Cao Cao's army southward.
I'm afraid we will have to settle accounts by then;
If Kong Ming is really the adviser behind Liu Bei, then everything is easy to say;
But if not...
Huang Chengyan leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes dim.
lost in thought.
Time passes minute by minute, and I don’t know how long it has passed.
Until a warning came from outside the hall.
This brought Huang Chengyan back from his thoughts.
"Sir, Mr. Pang De is here to pay his respects!"
Huang Chengyan, who suddenly came to his senses, subconsciously put away the industrial management map on his desk and stuffed it all into the cabinet.
After some adjustments, he calmly said: "Invite him in."
"It's my lord."
ta ta ta
There was a slight rush of steps outside the hall.
Before he could see him, he heard the joyful voice of Duke Pang De.
"Brother Huang, congratulations!"
"congratulations!"
"Hahaha!"
Mr. Pang Degong strode in with cheerful steps and a smile on his face.
Huang Chengyan, who was sitting on the main seat, also stood up to greet him.
"Brother Pang, what do you mean?"
Because of the changes in the Cai family, Huang Chengyan was already a little more fearful.
At this time, when I saw Mr. Pang De coming to congratulate me, I didn't know where the joy came from for a while.
"Brother Huang, are you trying to pretend to be confused?"
Pang Degong reached out and patted Huang Chengyan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Your good son-in-law, Zhuge Kongming!"
"Ok?"
Huang Chengyan looked at Mr. Pang Degong with sharp eyes and pretended to be puzzled: "Is Kong Ming there?"
"Brother Huang, it seems you really don't know."
"Then let me tell you the great news!"
"Some of the clan members saw with their own eyes that Kong Ming was active in Liu Bei's military advisor's house!"
Huang Chengyan trembled, and the previous haze was swept away: "What!?"
"Exactly!"
Pang Degong smiled broadly and said excitedly: "If we were just guessing before, now it's true!"
"Uncle Liu Huang dispatched his army to attack Guiyang."
"Kong Ming happens to be in Liu Bei's military advisor's house. Doesn't this prove that Kong Ming is strategizing!"
"This time, let's see how Kong Ming can hide!"
"Hahahaha!"
After hearing the news, Huang Chengyan's eyebrows gradually relaxed.
There was a bit of a smile in the corners of his eyes.
Pang Degong nodded and said thankfully: "If it weren't for Kong Ming, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's today would probably be our family's tomorrow."
"I'm just curious, what is Kong Ming hiding?"
"What can't he tell us?"
"The Jingzhou clan is now considered to be on good terms with Uncle Liu Huang, but why doesn't Kong Ming follow the trend and completely bind us to Uncle Liu Huang?"
"Or is it that Kong Ming has other plans for doing this?"
Huang Chengyan frowned, rubbed his temples and said, "Perhaps Kong Ming is not sure of victory when Cao Cao's army goes south."
"If we are tied to Liu Bei too early, Liu Bei will be defeated by then."
"Cao Cao will definitely vigorously purge the Jingzhou clan that has good relations with Liu Bei. At that time, there will be no real retreat."
Pang Degong suddenly realized: "Brother Huang's words woke up the dreamer!"
"No wonder we only supported Liu Bei with money and food, but not with soldiers and horses."
"Kong Ming's plan is so far-reaching that I can't even match it!"
"Brother Huang, I really envy you for having a good son-in-law!"
"If Brother Huang doesn't give up, I, the Pang family, are willing to ride for Brother Huang."
Huang Chengyan stood up and gently patted Pang Degong on the shoulder.
Narrowing his eyes and smiling, he said, "Old man, I'll give you a word here."
"In the future, as long as I, Huang Chengyan, have a mouthful of meat, Brother Pang will have a piece of the pie."
"The entire nine counties of Jingzhou are for you and me only!"
……
Chaisang
In executive room
Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu, sat upright in front of the documents, flipping through the Jiangdong files in front of him.
Since the Jiangdong clan was also powerful, the affairs that Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu, could actually control were extremely limited.
Many situations have to be controlled by the clan, making it difficult to take care of things.
Why did Gu Yong dare to speak out in the Wuhou Palace that day? ?
Without him, it's just because the Gu family is originally from a large family in Jiangdong and controls a large part of Jiangdong's economic lifeline.
Not to mention Sun Quan, even Zhou Yu did not dare to touch Gu Yong easily.
Although Zhang Zhao was a veteran of the two dynasties, he did not have a deep foundation in Jiangdong.
With the character of Governor Zhou Yu, if he wanted to kill Li Wei, he would just kill him.
Snapped!
Sun Quan threw the file in his hand on the document and touched his forehead with one hand.
He frowned, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The Jiangdong clan is deeply rooted, when will it end!"
"We should kill all these clans with one blow!"
In fact, it was common for clans to stand in large numbers during this period.
As the saying goes: a flowing political power, an iron clan.
It's just that among the three current forces, only Cao Cao dares to openly exclude the clan.
The celebrity Kong Rong is an example. Why did Cao Cao kill Kong Rong?
At the beginning of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao was fully preparing for the battle, but Kong Rong preached in Xuchang City that Cao Cao would be defeated.
At that time, such words spread to the military camp and had a great impact on morale.
Later, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, and when he came back, he found a reason to kill Kong Rong.
Tread Tread!Tread Tread!
"Lord!"
Lu Su hurried to the palace.
"Zijing, you came just in time!"
Sun Quan grabbed the file on the side, handed it to Lu Su and said, "This is the financial revenue and expenditure of Jiangdong last season. Take a look at it, Zijing."
"Aren't these clans going too far?"
Lu Su took the file with both hands and lowered his head to read.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head and said, "These clans have been entrenched in Jiangdong for a long time. These..."
These arrogances have become commonplace for Jiangdong.
When Sun Ce was in charge of Jiangdong, he could only acquiesce in allowing the family to control the economy.
Now if Sun Quan wants to make a fuss about this matter, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
Sun Quan also knew in his heart that this matter was closely related, and saw that Lu Su was silent for a long time.
He simply threw the file in his hand aside, raised his head and asked, "Zijing came here in a hurry, what's the matter?"
"Zhuge Kongming appeared in Jingzhou, but Zhuge Kongming said that he was not the instigator of Liu Bei, but that the instigator of Liu Bei was his brother..."
Sun Quan was silent when he heard Lu Su's words.
Eyes moving!
……
The news of the destruction of Guiyang City is like a gust of wind
Soon it swept the entire Jiangdong region.
After getting the news, Zhang Hong rushed to Zhang Zhao's residence as soon as possible.
"The city of Guiyang has been destroyed recently. Duke Zhang may have heard about it."
Zhang Zhao, who was on the bed, shook his head slightly and sighed: "Although I don't know, I also expected it."
"Liu Bei suddenly emerged as an army, and he was assisted by virtuous counselors."
"How can Cai Mao and Zhang Yun compete?"
Zhang Hong nodded in agreement and said: "What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely true, but what is unexpected is that Cai Hao actually ended up being executed."
"Ok?"
A look of shock flashed across Zhang Zhao's eyes.
Slash all over the house!
How much hatred must there be for someone to act like this?
Aren’t Liu Bei and Emperor Liu always known for their benevolence and righteousness?
Why is this so?
Zhang Hong shook his head and said: "Is it possible that Liu Bei's intention to kill everyone in the Cai family was not Liu Bei's intention."
"But Kong Ming!"
"Kong Ming?"
Zhang Zhao grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands and sat up: "Zigang, are you talking about Zhuge Kongming of Wollongong!?"
"Exactly!"
"Someone witnessed with their own eyes that Zhuge Kongming was planning something in Liu Bei's military advisor's house."
"The name Wolong is a household name in Jingzhou. No one doesn't recognize it, and no one can mistake it."
Zhang Zhao nodded slowly, "If it's Kong Ming, that would make sense."
"When the Cai Mao clan chose to kill their leader and seize power, they should have expected to end up like this."
"This can be regarded as their own destruction!"
Zhang Hong nodded and agreed with Zhang Zhao's view.
While the two of them were sighing, the housekeeper of Zhang Mansion came to report outside the house.
"Master, Zhuge Jin is here to visit!"
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong immediately looked at each other, and the latter explained: "Please forgive me, Mr. Zhang. When I learned that the adviser behind Liu Bei was Kong Ming, I thought of asking his brother Zhuge Jin to come and find out."
"I didn't inform Mr. Zhang in advance, so I hope Mr. Zhang will be punished!"
Zhang Zhao narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Now that Zhuge Liang is serving under Liu Bei, his brother Zhuge Jin naturally knows him best."
"Inviting him to come would be a good idea."
With that said, Zhang Zhao turned to look outside the room and said, "Please come here to see Tzuyu!"
"Yes!"
After waiting for a long time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar walked into the house.
I paid homage to the two Jiangdong ministers with no leakage of etiquette.
"Jin, meet Zhang Gong and Zhang Bu!"
Zhang Zhao was ill in bed and could not get up, so Zhang Hong hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhuge Jin.
He smiled and said, "They are all members of our own family, why does Tzuyu need to be so polite."
Zhang Zhao also said with a smile: "Someone is ill and can't get up to greet me. I hope Tzuyu won't be surprised!"
"Please sit down!"
Facing two senior ministers, Zhuge Jin did not dare to trust him.
After some greetings, I cautiously took my seat.
"Does Ziyu know who is the mastermind behind Liu Bei's account?"
Zhang Hong went straight to the point without any hesitation.
Zhuge Jin didn't get the news from Xiangyang, so he naturally didn't understand what Zhang Hong meant.
"What does Zhang Bu mean by this? I hope you can elaborate further."
"Someone recently got news that the person strategizing under Liu Bei's account is none other than your younger brother Zhuge Liang!"
"what!?"
Zhuge Jin's expression froze and he almost sat up from his chair.
After calming down, Zhuge Jin asked puzzledly: "How did you learn about this news?"
"As far as I know, my brother has never served under Liu Bei."
Zhang Zhao, who was lying on the hospital bed, took over the conversation and continued: "Perhaps your brother is hiding it intentionally?"
"After all, Ziyu is planning for Jiangdong now, and Kongming has joined Liu Bei's camp."
"good."
Zhang Hong nodded and explained: "Someone did see Kong Ming in Liu Bei's military advisor's residence."
"There is no doubt about that."
"If he hadn't served in Liu Bei's camp, how could Kong Mingyou have appeared in the Military Advisor's Mansion in Xiangyang?"
After hearing Er Zhang's words, Zhuge Jin's original firmness also wavered.
Did Kong Ming really surrender to Liu Bei?
However, when I wrote to Kong Ming some time ago, he still personally stated that the military advisor under Liu Bei's account was definitely not him.
But now...
Zhuge Jin's face was also full of shock;
He wisely retreated Cao Ren's [-]-strong army and devoured Jingzhou.
These do look like Kong Ming's handiwork, but why should he hide them?
Zhuge Jin stood up and said, "I will write a letter to my brother and ask for the reason."
"If he is really planning under Liu Bei's account, then the two of us can help the Sun and Liu families to have no war."
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong nodded, cupped their hands and said, "That's great!"
Nowadays, Liu Bei is getting stronger and stronger, and he is far from the Xinye Liu Huangshu of the past.
Liu Xuande at this time is a better friend than an enemy!
Especially when Cao Cao's millions of troops are about to move south, if they can form an alliance with Liu Bei.
Then the chance of winning against Cao Cao's army will be better.
·
That night
The moon is as cool as water
Xuchang City
Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion
After discussing the strategy of Jingzhou with Xun Yu and other counselors, we missed dinner time.
At this time, Cao Cao was in his mansion, hosting a banquet with several counselors to have a meal together.
Cao Cao took the lead, accompanied by several military advisors including Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Chen Qun.
While eating, several people talked about the army's march south.
The most difficult thing at the moment is the mastermind behind Liu Bei!
With him around, this battle going south will have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.
But I'm afraid it won't be easier than the battle of Guandu with Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao's military advisers have been planning painstakingly in recent days, all because of this matter.
It is true that Liu Bei is the mastermind behind the scenes, and he is really unpredictable and unpredictable!
You have to be careful again and again!
Halfway through dinner, a scout came to report!
"Prime Minister, there is news from Xiangyang City."
"Zhuge Liang appears in Liu Bei's military advisor's residence!"
"The mastermind behind Liu Bei is not Zhuge Ming, but Zhuge Wolong!"
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes widened: "What!?"
Bang!
The wooden bowl filled with rice in his hand was knocked upside down on the document.
He raised his hands and said angrily: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Such a great talent, why don't you come to serve me, Cao Cao!?"
"You want to work for a mat weaver and shoe seller!?"
"I feel sorry for being alone! I feel sorry for being alone!"
Several counselors present were also shocked.
The mastermind behind Liu Bei's account turned out to be Zhuge Wolong! ?
Although Kong Ming was the biggest suspect at first, Cai Mao's letter later confirmed that it was Zhuge Ming!
Now I got this news again.
It really shocked everyone!
After Yi Tong vented his anger, Cao Cao calmed down a little and swept the rice on the document back into the wooden bowl.
After lowering his head and taking a few mouthfuls, he muttered: "Zhuge Wolong!"
Xun Yu, who was sitting on the side, sighed: "I didn't expect that it was actually Zhuge Wolong!"
"Mr. Shui Jing said that if a sleeping dragon and a phoenix chick can live together, the world will be at peace."
"Liu Bei was able to help the wind rise because he had Zhuge Wolong behind him."
Jia Xu, who was sitting aside, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, raised his hands in a low voice and said, "Lord!"
"This person's plans are far-reaching, and we are far inferior to them!"
"If Zhuge Liang cannot be used by the Lord, he must be killed!"
The other counselors also raised their hands to express their approval.
Cao Cao put down the wooden bowl in his hand and looked up at the starry sky outside the house.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Bei is so virtuous and capable, but he can actually get the help of Shence Zhuge!"
……
February.
Winter is over and spring is blooming.
Although the scenery cannot be said to be pleasant with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the ice and snow accumulated in the winter have all melted away, revealing a spacious plain.
The fish also broke holes in the frozen river water, and the fine ice ballast washed down along the rapid water flow upstream.
Everything shows signs of recovery and vitality.
However, this vitality was the only thing that showed no mercy for the big man.
In Xuchang City, Cao Cao handed in an imperial edict and announced to the world that he wanted his army to go south to attack Liu Bei!
The news spread across the entire land of Kyushu.
All the princes from all sides were waiting and watching, wanting to see who would win between the newly rising lord of Jingzhou and Cao Mengde, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!
News that Cao Cao intended to attack Liu Bei naturally spread to Jingzhou.
……
Xiangyang City, on the stage of worship.
Fifteen shirtless drummers stood one meter apart, holding smashed drumsticks and waiting for orders.
Under the stage of worship, there are pavilions in all directions.
The five good generals were in front, and the deputy generals and generals of the various ministries took their seats gradually according to their military ranks.
Under the pavilion are the school flags of the three armies on the left, center and right, and the seats of the commanders.
Further down, standing in rows, are Liu Bei's 23 troops!
Stand on the general worship platform and look down.
It was dark and overwhelming.
23, if it weren’t for the plains, we wouldn’t be able to stand at all!
There are black characters on a white background, and the military flag embroidered with Tenghu is making a sound.
The "Guan" flag, the "Zhang" flag and the "Yellow" flag fluttered in the wind.
The "Liu" flag is the most dazzling!
The bright white background looks even whiter under the sunlight. .
It seems to indicate that the lord of this military flag will bring clarity to the gloomy world of the Han Dynasty!
Since Liu Bei's uprising, he has never had such a vast number of troops.
The faces of the soldiers holding axes and axes were full of perseverance and determination.
That comes from trust in Liu Bei.
These soldiers firmly believe that by throwing their lives and blood, they can bring a good life to their lord!
Bring peace and peace without war!
Under the stage of worship, among the pavilions in all directions.
Zhang Fei was so excited that he kept rubbing his big hands.
"Second brother, there has never been such a big battle since our uprising!" "I'm so happy!"
"Look at my hands that are trembling!"
"Hey, second brother, what does this feel like?"
Zhang Fei didn't know that he was excited.
It’s no wonder he was excited, because even the calm-minded Guan Erye couldn’t hide his excitement in such a battle.
Guan Yu gently stroked his beard, pressed down Zhang Fei's trembling hand, and said calmly:
"Third brother, be more careful. All the soldiers are watching. Don't embarrass your elder brother."
Although Guan Yu said this, his trembling lips still betrayed his true feelings.
Zhao Yun, who wore a silver helmet and silver armor, couldn't help but feel aroused when he saw his two brothers looking like this.
He looked back at the 23 troops behind him, and then turned to look at the general worship platform above.
At this time, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a little dazed in his heart.
Once upon a time, when he was still following Gongsun Zan, he never had the chance to stand out.
At that time, the Lord, who was still in a state of decline, never thought that he would become so powerful in just a few years!
The strength of his troops is seven times greater than that of Gongsun Zan!
Zhao Yun's dream in this life is to find a wise master who will go through fire and water for him and work together to achieve the same great cause.
But at this moment, the Ming Lord has been obtained and the career has been advanced!
Unconsciously, half of his dream has come true!
And the remaining half is not only Zhao Yun's dream.
It is also the dream of all civil and military personnel in the entire military camp!
The ability to realize all of this is the credit of military advisor Mr. Zhuge.
Without Mr. Zhuge, how could there be a platform for worshiping generals in Jingzhou today?
Without Mr. Zhuge, I am afraid that Xinye would have gone bankrupt!
An army cannot be without commanders, generals, or masters.
However, in Zhao Yun's heart, the most indispensable thing in the army is the military advisor!
It was the military advisor who connected all their generals together and exerted unprecedented power!
Huang Zhong's beard and hair are all white, but he doesn't look old at all.
He looked up at the general worship platform with a smile.
The lord has set up such a large formation today, and he already has a guess as to why.
If it weren't for the military advisor, who else in this army would be worthy of the whole army's attendance?
Looking back at the beginning, the military advisor wrote a letter asking Nanman to surrender.
He also defeated Cao's army in Xinye.
Entering Jingzhou, he thundered his troops and took over the three counties of Guiyang!
One by one, step by step, we created the grand occasion of today's 23-strong army marching together.
Now that Jingzhou has been secured, most of the generals and soldiers in Jingzhou do not know who is the commander-in-chief and chief military advisor of the three armies!
Come to think of it, today, the Lord will publicly worship Mr. Zhuge as his chief military advisor!
The chief military advisor is selected, and the three armies have a leader.
Coupled with Mr. Zhuge's superb strategic talent.
The 23-strong army will surely be able to command like an arm, and fight wherever directed, and the battle will be invincible!
Thinking of this, the smile on Huang Zhong's face became even brighter.
Wei Yan, Wenpin, Chen Dao, Huo Jun, Li Yan and other generals also had their own ideas.
Today's grand scene will never be seen before or after in a vacuum!
Civil servants such as Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue could not conceal their excitement.
Zhuge's position as military advisor is finally settled!
In the eager anticipation of the three armies, Liu Bei walked up to the platform to pay homage to the generals.
He was condescending, overlooking everyone.
At this moment, his heart was racing and he had mixed feelings.
Once upon a time, he and Cao Cao had a drink and discussed heroes.
At that time, Cao Cao asserted that the only heroes in the world are envoys and Cao Er.
Since the incident of the Yidaizhao, there have been many twists and turns.
Fortunately, Mr. Feng helped me, otherwise how could I have built the family business I have today?
When I was in Xinye, how could I have dared to imagine the scene today?
I recall that after my husband followed me, he worked very hard and took care of far more things than his lord!
March, strategy, military provisions, people, and popular support.
As the mastermind, Mr. could have just focused on strategy.
However, my husband did everything himself and devoted himself to the great cause of supporting the Han Dynasty.
Such sincere passion, such outstanding talents,
Liu Bei would even ask himself, what virtues and abilities do I have that I can be assisted by someone like my husband?
And today, this question has an answer.
With the monarch and his subjects united, Liu Bei decided to give Zhuge Ming unconditional trust!
He stood on the platform to worship the generals and spoke passionately:
"Today, all the generals of the army are gathered together to announce something important."
"Since the three brothers Liu Beiju and I started the rebellion, we must have the trust of the fierce generals and follow them loyally. Only then can we have the vast and brave army we have today!"
"However, I, Liu Bei, commanded the three armies and did not achieve even an inch of success."
"From the beginning of the incident to the present, it is all thanks to military advisor Zhuge Wende that we have achieved today's achievements."
"I am ignorant of virtue, like a bird losing its wings, like a fish losing water, like a man losing his arm!"
"Today, I worship Wende as the commander-in-chief of the three armies! He also serves as the chief military advisor of our army! He commands the 23 troops in Jingzhou!"
"Give the general the seal of command, the seal of the military advisor, the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops, and the sword to kill the general!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar...
……
Liu Bei's powerful words resounded throughout the city like an eternal bell.
Everyone on and off the platform, no matter how big or small their official rank was, was stunned and dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears.
Appoint the military division commander as the commander-in-chief of the three armies? !
Commanding 23 troops? !
Grant the governor's seal, the general's seal, the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops, and the general-killing sword?
This...doesn't this put the general and division on an equal footing with the Lord?
The Lord actually trusts and values Zhuge Military Advisor so much? !
On the general stage, even the drummer waiting to beat the drum couldn't believe his ears.
They all turned their heads in disbelief and looked at their lord Liu Bei!
Since ancient times, it is enough for those who have high merits and no title, and are highly regarded as ministers.
But it is rare to see someone like my lord, who has full authority to manage the entire Jingzhou and the army as a reward!
To be able to achieve this for the lord requires more than just establishing a world-shattering achievement!
It is even more important to gain the Lord's full trust.
Even if there is trust, there will never be a master who can do this!
Sentiment, shock, astonishment, and surprise instantly spread throughout Xiangyang City!
The same person who was shocked was the military advisor Zhuge Ming.
He never thought that his lord would give him such a huge reward!
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces!General's seal!Deploy troops and tiger talisman!Cutting sword!
This... this is basically equalizing his status with the lord!
He also enjoys the rights that the lord enjoys!
Liu Bei said:
"Military advisor, please go up to the platform to pay homage to the generals and receive your orders!"
After Liu Bei finished speaking, the fifteen-lei drummer immediately came to his senses.
They beat the red drumsticks in their hands hard.
"Boom--!"
"Boom--!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Two short and one long, the drum sound is melodious and inspiring.
Go on stage and get a seal!
Zhuge Ming stepped forward and walked onto the platform to worship the generals.
He thought that what awaited him would be unprecedented silence.
But what he never expected was.
As soon as he revealed half of his body, he was greeted by cheers that shook the entire Xiangyang City!
"The military is mighty!"
"The military advisor is domineering!"
"With the military advisor in command, we will be invincible!"
23 strong men roared at the top of their lungs, their faces turned red from exerting themselves, and the veins on their necks popped out!
Among Liu Bei's army, the deeds of military advisor Zhuge Ming are widely circulated.
From generals to pawns, there is no one who does not know how to make plans as a military advisor. Their plans can determine the fate of mountains and rivers!
Throughout the ages, when marching and fighting, even if they are battle-hardened soldiers, who is not afraid of death?
However, if you can meet a good general and a good plan.
If we fight a war, the death rate will be greatly reduced!
The more battles you win, the more you win, the rewards will be generous, and you can also make achievements and gain promotions!
Being led by a general like Military Advisor Zhuge, what soldier would be unconvinced?
The cheers and shouts made Zhuge Ming feel a little dazed!
Once upon a time, I studied at Shuijing Villa.
He was demoted to "Mediocre" by Mr. Shui Jing and became a shame to the Zhuge family. He was even expelled from the family!
In Xiangyang, I wanted to build a school to educate children and enlighten the people.
But Cai Mao burned down the school and destroyed the classics!
In Nanyang thatched cottage, one lives for many years, and the years are wasted.
Now, he has been recognized by the 23 troops!
He was sincerely convinced by the 23-strong army!
Zhuge Ming's footsteps became firm and determined!
Standing on the platform to worship the generals, he looked at the many generals in the square pavilions!
The moment Zhuge Ming appeared, all these generals who were sitting stood up.
Zhuge Ming's eyes swept over them one by one.
Every time a general passes by, he will get a nod from them.
Looking at Huang Zhong.
Veteran Huang Zhong's face was filled with a happy smile.
I have wasted years and suffered all kinds of hardships, but now I finally have the joy of suffering.
Mr. Zhuge, you are worth it all!
Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, the veteran is convinced!
……
Looking at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's face was filled with an excited smile.
Mr. Zhuge, from the beginning to the end, I will think that you are not a thing in the pool!
Among all the military strategists in the world, you are undoubtedly the best!
Without military advisors, we would not be here today!
As early as the Battle of Xinye, the general has been sincerely convinced of you, Mr. Zhuge!
Now, all the rewards from the Lord are what you deserve!
If others are dissatisfied, they will be the first to refuse!
Apart from my lord, from now on, Mr. Zhuge, you will be the person that I admire the most!
This silver spear will fight for you and the lord!
……
Looking at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei had a silly smile on his face.
Military Advisor, I, Mr. Zhang, have long regarded you as a brother!
Although at the beginning, I felt that you were boasting a lot, but your ability was not necessarily great.
I was still very angry with you afterwards, thinking that you could neither dance with a gun nor with a stick.
All I do is sit at my desk all day long, delving into some scheming, and can’t wait for the elegant hall!
However, as the lord's family fortune grows, his soldiers and horses become stronger and stronger!
I've also changed my mind about you.
I know how ignorant and childish I used to be.
You don't have the same understanding as me, but you have repeatedly assigned me military exploits!
Military advisor, you are so brotherly!
Although you and I are not sworn brothers, in our hearts, you are our brother!
I feel comfortable giving you the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces!I feel happy too!
Otherwise, if it were anyone else, except the eldest brother, whoever dares to claim it, we would pick him with a spear!
From now on, you say one and I am the same!
……
Looking at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu gently stroked his beautiful beard and smiled calmly.
Military Advisor, I have always seen your hard work along the way.
If we say who among this army is the most dedicated to the Lord, except for you, the military advisor, there is no one else.
Ask yourself, if I had the talent of a military advisor, I would probably be complacent and slack off several times.
However, the military strategist repeatedly made clever plans and accomplished extraordinary feats, but never once did he achieve anything.
After every victory, the military advisor frowned.
Being an enemy of Cao Cao is no less than seeking the skin of a tiger!
There are many counselors in Cao Cao's army, and if they work together, they must have many strategies.
And you fought against Cao Cao's advisers in the clouds and stood in an invincible position. This is a shocking thing for heaven and man!
But I also know that military advisors are walking on thin ice and know that my eldest brother cannot withstand a single failure.
Sleep at three o'clock and get up at five o'clock.
Every time there is a certain rotation of night duty, you can see the bright lights of the military counselor's camp.
I have nothing but respect for you!
Apart from eldest brother, you are the only one who deserves to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies!
……
Although many generals said nothing, they looked at each other and Zhuge Ming knew clearly.
He was recognized by the generals.
Standing on the stage of worship, he had mixed feelings.
There are thousands of words in my heart that I want to express.
But Zhuge Ming always felt that these words were a bit false.
The king and his ministers are united, and my lord trusts me so much, so there is no need to say more!
Thousands of words finally converged into one sentence:
"When Cao Cao goes south, I will defeat Cao Cao! To thank my lord!"
…………
News of Liu Bei's award ceremony in Xiangyang spread to Xuchang...
The news that Zhuge Ming officially came out swept the world.
However, the princes from all sides do not know Zhuge Ming's real name!
I only know that Zhuge's name is Wende!
As for who this Zhuge Wende is, no one knows.
However, besides Zhuge Liang, the man of the Zhuge family who is known as Wolong, who else can outwit Cao Cao many times?
The princes from all sides were shocked by Liu Bei's reward!
No one thought that Liu Bei would be willing to do such a huge thing this time!
What's the difference between being rewarded like this and giving up the foundation you've built to others?
Xuchang, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Looking at the secret message sent from the direction of Xiangyang, Cao Cao frowned and his eyebrows twitched!
He repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the secret letter.
From beeswax, to standards, to special marks that only he can identify.
All of these are in line with the specifications, and every one of them proves that this secret letter is sent by a genuine Xiangyang secret agent!
However, the contents of the secret message were too shocking.
So much so that Cao Cao couldn't believe that these were actually true!
To reward the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and grant him the Taimu Seal, the General Seal, the Tiger Talisman for Trooping Troops, and the General-killing Sword? !
Is Liu Bei crazy? !
With these in hand, if Zhuge hears virtue, he can rebel and establish himself as a prince!
Isn't Liu Bei afraid of this?
Aren't you afraid that Zhuge's desire for virtue and power will seduce him and take away his inheritance?
Cao Cao doesn't believe that there is no one in this world who is unambitious!
I would rather let the world down, than let the world down on me!
Liu Bei's unconditional trust in Zhuge Ming is something that Cao Cao would never be able to achieve in this lifetime!
In his eyes, Liu Bei's move was clearly a huge gamble!
He's gambling on people's hearts!
Bet on Zhuge Wende's people's hearts!
"Why not award it to Zhuge Kongming?!"
"Is it possible that it is Zhuge Wende who has been advising Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang has just come out?"
For a moment, Cao Cao had a splitting headache.
However, in the blink of an eye, a poisonous plan has taken hold!
Okay, you Liu Bei, you are so courageous.
If you hand over your military power today, you will be killed tomorrow.
In this case, there is no need for me to take action. I will just wait for Zhuge Wende to recruit villains and let you kill each other!
By then, I will reap the benefits and swallow Jingzhou without a single blow!
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and sneered.
He ordered around and shouted in a deep voice:
"Soldiers!"
The news that Prime Minister Cao was ordering troops to go on an expedition spread throughout Xuchang instantly.
The whole of Xuchang was in turmoil, and all officials were cautious.
Military division mansion.
Xun You, Chen Qun, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Zhong Yao quickly left the house.
Follow the mighty troops and horses to the outside of the city.
The 56 troops gathered together.
In an instant, dark clouds fell over the city, and the flags were flying!
The fully armed Cao Cao stood on his horse, holding the reins in his hand and a winning smile on his face!
The five military advisors followed closely behind, each with their own thoughts in mind.
After the army, on top of Xuchang City.
The young emperor Liu Xie, accompanied by a group of civil and military officials, watched the prime minister leave the city.
"Prime Minister! The sky is high and the road is far away. I hope I can return it as soon as possible. Victory and victory!"
Emperor Liu Xie read the message loudly.
Although he said this with his mouth, he was cursing in his heart.
An old thief from the Cao family!This time we must lose completely!Lost to the emperor's uncle!Those who lose will lose everything!No hair or nails!
On the top of the city, all the officials in Xuchang City appeared together.
In front of the army, Cao Cao, who was standing on horseback, heard the little emperor shouting.
He glanced back, then sneered on his face.
What was the little emperor thinking? How could he, a scheming old fox, not know?
Behind Cao Cao, the Xiahou brothers looked at each other and chuckled.
No one in the Cao family camp has any respect for this little emperor.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. When I go this time, I will definitely take Uncle Liu Huang's head and give it to you!"
The little emperor was horrified when he heard this.
He was so frightened that he would have fallen to the ground if he had not been supported by his personal supervisor.
Seeing the frightened look on the little emperor's face, Cao Cao smiled contemptuously.
Then he ordered loudly:
"The whole army, move out!"
"Open up!"
"Open up!"
"Open up!"
Military orders were passed from level to level, but the 56-strong army would not move at all, but a movement would be like moving mountains and reclaiming seas!
Vigorous and vigorous!
The soldiers marched in unison, causing the city gates of Xuchang to tremble slightly.
The flags are flying and the army is mighty!
Cars and horses clear the way, food and grass go first!
Under the protection of the Five Tigers and the Eight Tigers, Prime Minister Cao Cao looks down upon all things in the world like a king in the dust!
This time the army goes south, it will be conquered and the battle will be fruitful!
Liu Bei, wait and be killed!
………………
Xiangyang, Military Advisor's Mansion.
After returning from the award ceremony, Zhuge Ming changed into his court clothes and returned to his study.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his clan brother Zhuge Liang who had already woken up.
When brothers meet, they treat each other with respect.
After some salutes, Zhuge Ming smiled and said:
"Brother, what are the habits of living in this house?"
"This place is not as peaceful as sleeping in the clan. If there is anything inappropriate, just mention it and I will ask them to replace it for you."
Facing his brother's concern, Zhuge Liang quickly waved his hand.
He served tea to his brother and said:
"Brother, Liang is not feeling unwell."
"Today's award ceremony, my brother was awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, taking charge of military and political power. He is truly worthy of one person and superior to ten thousand people."
"I have long since determined that my brother is no ordinary person and will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"It really came true today!"
"After today, let's see if there are still people in the family who say you are a 'mediocre'!"
Zhuge Ming was awarded the title of commander-in-chief of the three armies. Zhuge Liang was happy for his brother from the bottom of his heart.
Zhuge Liang knew this when he was still studying with Mr. Shui Jing.
This brother of his is by no means a mediocre person!
It is really undeserved to be awarded the title "Yong".
And because of this "yong" word, how many hardships did you encounter in the future?
Zhuge Liang knew very well that his elder brother's talents and strategies were not weaker than his own.
Even worse!
Today, I finally get to see my brother look proud and elated, cleansed of his dust, and I feel very happy.
When Zhuge Ming heard this, he smiled, waved his hands, and said softly:
"In his position, he will seek his position. I am really flattered that my lord has such trust in me!"
"Now that I have been awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, I will work harder in the future and repay the Lord with fruitful political achievements."
With that said, Zhuge Ming asked:
"Brother, you have reached the official age and have never thought about leaving the mountain?"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan slightly when he heard this, smiled and shook his head.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Brother, as long as you are here, there is no need for me, Zhuge Kongming... I can only be my brother's staff!"
"That's fine, it's up to you."
Seeing that his brother agreed, Zhuge Liang sat down again.
He looked up at his brother, a sly look in his eyes.
Shaking his feather fan gently, Zhuge Liang said:
"Brother, I know what you are thinking about?"
Zhuge Ming also chuckled when he heard this.
There is an inexplicable tacit understanding between two smart people.
He smiled and said:
"In that case, then you and I each write down what we are thinking in our hands and see if they are the same!"
Zhuge Liang nodded, he wrote down, and put his hands on the table.
The two looked at each other and then turned their hands at the same time.
I saw the same two words written on the palms of both sides:
"Jiangdong!"
"Hahaha, the one who knows me is my brother Liang!"
Zhuge Liang also smiled and shook his feather fan.
It was really enjoyable to talk to my brother today.
Brothers are of one heart, and their profits can break gold!
He stood up and said to his brother:
"Brother, let me go to Jiangdong!"
