Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!
Chapter 89 Zhuge Ming’s plan to swallow the sky
Chapter 89 Zhuge Ming’s plan to swallow the sky
Xiangyang, in the Military Advisor's Mansion.
In February, flowers are in full bloom!
Zhuge Liang raised his head and saw Huang Yueying standing outside the military advisor's mansion.
"Yueying, why are you here?"
"So it's really you!"
"You misunderstood. The military advisor is my brother."
After Zhuge Liang explained to Huang Yueying, Huang Yueying was surprised.
"It turns out that the rumor that Zhuge Wende has inspired the world is true!"
"Madam, I still need to go to Jiangdong. I'm here to introduce you to my brother!"
After Zhuge Liang and his wife Huang Yueying paid homage to his brother, they got up and left Xiangyang for Jiangdong!
……
Water Mirror Villa.
Clear springs flow in the villa.
There are many small trees planted here.
As a gust of breeze passed by at dawn, the small tree began to sway.
Among the pavilions.
Sitting here is a middle-aged man with a calm expression but lively eyebrows.
This person is Sima Hui.
Sima Hui was called Mr. Shui Jing.
Proficient in Qimen, art of war, and classics.
He is an elegant person, has extensive knowledge, and has the ability to understand people.
Sima Hui blew into the oncoming wind, and his expression became relaxed.
A gentleman should hide in the mountains and overlook the general situation of the world.
Life here is peaceful and quiet.
It was very comfortable and comfortable for him.
Sima Hui slowly stood up and stretched, then his eyes flashed and he looked into the distance.
And right now!
There was a child in Tsing Yi outside the door.
He jogged all the way to Sima Hui and took out a volume of letters from his arms.
Sima Hui took it over.
This letter records recent major events.
Then Sima Hui waved his hand slowly, asking the child to retreat first, and opened the letter directly.
When he saw the message above, his eyes froze.
So I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The news above is that Zhuge Liang appeared in Xiangyang.
Sima Hui couldn't help but pace back and forth, thinking about the problem.
Zhuge Liang is known as Wolong.
Even if he is his intellectual talent, he is very recognized.
But now the other party appears in Xiangyang.
This shows that Zhuge Liang has something to do with Liu Bei's forces in Jingzhou.
Counselors never leave the mountain.
If he leaves the mountain, he must have chosen the lord.
Is Zhuge Liang planning to assist Liu Bei?
When Sima Hui thought of this, he took a deep breath.
It is indeed Zhuge Liang's plan, and the one who masters the plan is Zhuge Liang.
When this idea appeared in his mind for a moment.
Sima Hui shook his head again, and the look in his eyes became confused.
But!If Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei's mastermind.
Why did Liu Bei hand over the positions of commander-in-chief and chief military advisor to Zhuge Yong?
This doesn't make sense!
……
Wancheng.
Cao Cao was wearing a red robe and riding a tall horse.
He led the army behind him and slowly entered the city.
Wherever he went, many nobles were frightened.
They have never seen such a battle.
As for hundreds of miles away.
It was Fancheng occupied by Liu Bei.
Because Fancheng is located in the south of Jianghan Plain.
It is bordered by the Han River to the north and the Dabie Mountains to the south.
Today there are three pillars in the world.
Fancheng occupies an extremely important geographical location.
Even if it is called a battleground for military strategists, it is not an exaggeration.
Now in Fancheng.
The garrison was fifty thousand.
Moreover, Zhuge Ming has sent Zhao Yun, Wenpin, Wei Yan, Li Yan, Kuai Yue, Huo Jun, and Yi Ji to defend the city.
These people are already famous warriors.
Each of them has the ability to control one side.
The lineup is very luxurious.
The Han River divides into Xiangyang and Fancheng.
If you drive straight in, you will reach Jingzhou after crossing Fancheng.
Fancheng is the gateway to Jingzhou and the place where the four battles took place.
Nowadays, although Cao Cao claims to command an army of millions, he can throw a whip to cut off the river.
But as long as Fancheng is there, the Han River will be difficult to cross.
If Fancheng is lost, the nine counties of Jingzhou will be wide open.
Let anyone take it for themselves!
In a recently built Chinese military tent in Wancheng.
Cao Cao was wearing a red robe and his thick, dark beard made his whole body full of energy.
It makes one look calm and intimidating.
In front of him stood his generals and counselors.
The camp was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Now the army has moved south.
Cao Cao had the power to dominate the world and destroyed Jiangdong and Jingzhou.
Thus unifying the Central Plains.
Cao Cao raised his feet, then glanced at the people in front of him, and said loudly: "Now we have arrived at Wancheng. Fancheng is right in front of us. The land of Jingzhou and Jiangdong are also within easy reach."
As soon as this word comes out!
Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Dun looked excited.
This is the moment they have been waiting for.
If Wancheng can be broken open, it will be a huge achievement.
It has been recorded in the annals of history and has been passed down through the ages.
Thousands of years later, there are still people who can remember the name.
This is a great honor for them.
Zhang Liao took the lead to take a step forward, clasping his hands into fists, and said in a deep voice: "The last general invites you to fight! Attack Fancheng! Make the first contribution to the Prime Minister!"
"The end will fight!"
"The end will fight!"
Cao Ren and Cao Hong also walked out directly.
The generals lined up, their expressions suddenly excited, wanting to take the lead.
Cao Cao saw that the general in front of him was so full of fighting spirit, and nodded with satisfaction.
So he waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! Such momentum! He is indeed a tiger general in our army. He came here to destroy the big-eared thief and Sun Quan."
After hearing Cao Cao's praise, the generals looked more and more excited.
They felt that the blood in their bodies was burning at this moment.
Take the lead, kill the general and capture the flag.
He made great achievements in battle among thousands of troops.
He is destined to achieve extraordinary things in the future.
As for the counselors.
Xun You, Chen Qun, Jia Xu, Zhong Yao and others.
Seeing the excited general in front of them, they couldn't help but frown and look at each other.
If we attack now.
You still have to make some arrangements.
Otherwise, it is very likely that the opponent will be caught off guard.
Xun You's eyes narrowed slightly, twinkling.
Finally decided to take a step forward.
"Prime Minister! Fancheng is a place for a deadly battle. We can surround Fancheng and wait for Liu Bei's army to rescue Fancheng."
As soon as these words came out, the other three people also echoed.
It would be unwise to send troops hastily now!
After Cao Cao heard this, the smile disappeared from his face, and a sinister look flashed in the corner of his eyes.
Now the military is in full swing.
We will not attack Fancheng at this time.
When to attack!
Moreover, this battle is the first battle, so we must show momentum to be unstoppable later on.
Cao Cao glanced at the few people and said coldly: "Fan City is so tall that if there is abundant food and grass, it can last for a year."
"If Fancheng can delay it for a year, can Gu's army hold on for another year?"
As soon as these words came out, Xun You and others looked at each other.
This time we went from the north to the south.
A lot of food and grass were consumed along the way. If the army besieged Fancheng, it might not last more than a year.
Once there is no food in the army.
The army will be morally defeated and surrender without a fight.
This is a rather troublesome thing.
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he did not pay attention to the expressions of several people. Instead, he waved his hand and continued: "Who are the people stationed in Fancheng this time?"
"Zhao Yun, Wenpin, Wei Yan, Li Yan, Kuai Yue, Huo Jun, are from Yi."
Xun You looked at Cao Cao, and the names came out of his mouth one by one.
As these names were spoken, the generals in the Chinese army's tent could not help but frown, their expressions full of solemnity.
For this battle!
They dare not neglect in the slightest.
Because these people are world-famous warriors.
Each one of them is brave and good at fighting, and has the ability that one man can defeat, and no one can defeat him.
If encountered on the battlefield.
It's really a headache.
After hearing this name, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked solemn.
Although he is known as a million-strong army.
But that's just a false claim.
Now he only has 56 troops in his hands.
If you meet these generals.
It’s really extremely difficult to handle.
Zhao Yun, Wenpin, Wei Yan, and Li Yan were all good at fighting.
These four people all have one man who is in charge of the pass, and no one can be brave enough to open it.
The atmosphere in the Chinese army's tent fell into silence.
Just now he was a warrior full of fighting spirit, but now his aura is obviously a bit weaker.
but!
They are still not afraid!
If you want to make unparalleled achievements on the battlefield.
It is necessary to defeat these powerful and famous generals in order to achieve one's own status.
Heroes also grow old.
After a moment.
Cao Cao waved his hand and asked everyone in front of him to retreat.
He wants to be alone.
Time passed quietly.
By night.
Cao Cao came barefoot outside the Chinese army's tent, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and a ray of light rose in his eyes.
The bright white moon shone on his face.
The wind gradually blew over.
The whiskers on his face fluttered.
The night is slightly cool.
Cao Cao also felt a bit cold in his heart.
This Zhuge Liang has planned a huge foundation for Liu Bei!
Just half a year!
This is only half a year old!
If you give him ten years, how powerful will he be!
Cao Cao let out a breath when he thought of this.
Then he slowly turned around and returned to the Chinese army's tent.
……
Xiangyang.
Zhuge Ming walked with his hands behind his back, slowly walking alone in the courtyard in front of the court.
Military advisors like peace and quiet, so Liu Bei deliberately chose a secluded location for the general's palace. Under the courtyard wall, there are potted green plants of various colors. When winter goes to spring, the entire courtyard is like a big garden.
At this moment, Zhuge Ming lowered his head and meditated. The map of Jiuzhou and China was hidden in his mind, and what emerged in his mind at this moment was the geography of the nine counties of Jingzhou.
Cao Cao soon marched south, with an army of 56, thunderous and unstoppable!
If we want to survive this disaster, it will be ten times more severe than taking Jingzhou!
"Brother Zhuge, it's such a good weather today, why are you so happy?"
The day after Ma Liang checked into the Military Advisor's Mansion, he came to report as scheduled.
"Ji Chang, you came just in time!"
Zhuge Ming suddenly looked up and saw a man with white eyebrows and handsome clothes. Although he was dressed simply, he had a good temperament. It was Ma Liang, the great sage of the Ma family.
Mashi Wuchang, white eyebrows are the best!
"Ma Liang, a humble servant, pays homage to Military Advisor Zhuge!"
Ma Liang walked up to Zhuge Ming, straightened his clothes and bowed.
"Ji Chang, you and I have known each other for a long time. Without you, how could I have opened the Xiangyang School and taught classes in the past? It's just an old relationship, and there will be no need to be so polite in the future."
Zhuge Ming smiled faintly and reached out to help Ma Liang up.
"Privately, you and I are as close as brothers, but there is a clear distinction between public and private affairs. Even if I enter the military advisor's office, I am naturally a subordinate of the military advisor. I still need to abide by my duties!"
Ma Liang said seriously, not daring to be careless at all.
"People say that Ma Liang is the most virtuous, and when we meet him today, he is indeed not one to be deceived by me!"
Zhuge Ming nodded and said in admiration.
"Military advisor, when Cao Cao goes south, Nanyang County is the first to bear the brunt. And our Xiangyang County is connected to Nanyang to the north and Nanjun to the south. If Nanyang fails, both Xiangyang and Nanjun will be in danger!"
Ma Liang followed Zhuge Ming and walked into the main hall of the mansion. He pointed at the map of Jingzhou and said with a frown.
"Cao Cao has attacked me before. When he comes this time, he will definitely have new and old grudges. It will be a life-or-death showdown. We should not underestimate him."
Zhuge Ming nodded and stared at the map, seemingly thoughtful.
"Xinye Fancheng is a strategic place that must be fought over by military strategists! The last time Cao Ren led his troops to conquer this place, he suffered a big loss. This time Cao Cao goes south, I'm afraid these two cities will become their key attack targets."
"But for two cities, if there are many soldiers, there is no danger to defend them, and if there are few soldiers, they cannot resist the enemy. I am afraid that it will be difficult to support a single tree, and it will be lost sooner or later!"
Ma Liang stretched out his finger and kept measuring the distance between Jiangxia, Xiangyang, and Nanyang on the map, thinking about how to march troops, how to set up formations, how to rescue, how to evacuate, etc.
Zhuge Ming shook his folding fan and slowly circled the map twice. After watching Ma Liang meditate, he said calmly: "Cao's army is powerful, with strong soldiers and horses, but the soldiers in Jingzhou are all new soldiers, or they have just surrendered, and they are not well trained. . If you try to sharpen its edge, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg. If you hit it, it will break!"
"But I have a countermeasure. When Cao Cao comes, I will make him come back defeated. It will be ten times worse than last time!"
Zhuge Ming's eyes flashed, resolute and full of wisdom.
"However, our situation in Jingzhou is in danger. We only have more than [-] soldiers and horses. If we fight with Cao Cao, both sides will suffer, and there is nothing we can do without it!"
Ma Liang was still worried: "Even if Cao Cao's 56 soldiers and horses were completely wiped out, as long as the general does not die, he can still form such a powerful army in just a few years. But in our land of Jingxiang, with 23 soldiers and horses, it will take many years." It’s all a result of hard work…”
Zhuge Ming smiled faintly: "I regard 56 soldiers and horses as nothing! I used a little strategy to turn them into powder. Not only that, my Jingxiang soldiers and horses were unscathed, and they were able to occupy the city and become stronger!"
Ma Liang suddenly looked up, saw Zhuge Ming's eyes, and immediately felt that the nine counties of Jingxiang were as stable as Mount Tai!
"Oh!"
"With military advisors planning, there is no need to worry..."
……
Xiliang.
The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying.
The setting sun bites the lips of the sunset, and instantly sheds a bright red.
The boundless line between heaven and earth.
A figure gradually emerged.
With his appearance, the vast land seemed to be completely silent.
Between heaven and earth, there was only the sound of galloping horse hooves.
blah blah-
The dark horses galloped freely on the grassland, chasing the wind day after day.
"Drive, drive!"
On horseback, a man wearing brocade armor, his face filled with arrogance and arrogance!
His face is like a crown jade, his eyes are like shooting stars, he has the body of a tiger, the arms of an ape, the belly of a wolf and the waist of a wolf. He holds a spear in his hand and rides a horse.
The armor on his body is made of the finest materials. He has a lion helmet on his head, an animal belt around his waist, silver armor and white robes. He looks like a hero among men.
He is the son of Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang.
The powerful Jin Ma Chao in Xiliang!
Ma Chao rode his horse and raised his whip. Wherever he passed, the wind bent the grass, and snakes and insects hurriedly got out of the way.
A long snake just woke up from the grass and raised its head.
He was mercilessly ground to pulp by the horses' hooves.
At this time, another galloping horse came galloping over.
The person coming was none other than Ma Dai, Ma Chao's cousin.
"Cousin! Cousin!"
Hearing Ma Dai's voice, Ma Chao grabbed the reins and reined in the galloping horse.
"Call-"
After the horse stopped, Ma Dai also came to his side.
Ma Chao saw his hurried expression and asked:
"Cousin, why are you here?"
Ma Dai took out a letter from his arms.
"Cousin!"
"Here is a secret message from Jingzhou!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he frowned.
A secret message from Jingzhou, isn’t that Liu Bei’s territory?
Why is he writing to me at this juncture?
He quickly took the letter and opened it.
The above is simple.
But Ma Chao's fists clenched instantly, and Xin was also clenched into a ball by him!
Ma Chao's eyes were cold, and a killing intent shot up from the sky.
"Cao thief!!!"
He gnashed his teeth as if he wanted to eat Cao Cao alive!
Feeling Ma Chao's terrifying murderous intent, Ma Dai looked shocked.
"Cousin, what happened?"
Ma Chao's face was as cold as frost and he said in a cold voice.
"Let's go back to the prefect's mansion!"
Before he finished speaking, he galloped away on horseback.
Ma Dai felt something bad in his heart.
This was the first time he had seen his cousin so angry.
Could it be that something big happened?
"drive!"
Ma Dai quickly caught the horse's belly with his legs and chased after him.
After the two returned to the prefect's mansion, Ma Chao immediately asked Ma Dai to call the other generals.
But half a stick of incense time.
Ten generals, including Pang De, Ma Dai, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Yang Qiu, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Ma Wan and Cheng Yi, panted into the mansion.
These ten people are the foundation of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
They are also the confidants of Ma Teng and his son who command the Xiliang cavalry!
Under the leadership of Ma Teng and Ma Chao, they guard Xiliang so that no one dares to invade the border!
Originally they were training troops.
After seeing Ma Dai hurried over, he learned that there was something important to discuss.
They all immediately put down what they were doing and rushed over as soon as possible.
"Little Lord!"
Several people saluted together.
Pang De asked respectfully.
"Young Master, why are you coming to us in such a hurry?"
When they entered the house just now, they saw Ma Chao pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, his face extremely anxious.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ma Chao slapped a crumpled letter on the table.
He spoke in a cold voice, his words full of murderous intent.
"This letter is sent from Jingzhou."
"The signature is Zhuge." "That is, the chief military advisor under Liu Bei in Jingzhou."
"He wrote to me, saying that my father had entered Xuchang and was being imprisoned by Cao Cao."
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers present were shaken.
They looked at each other, and they both saw the burning anger in each other's pupils!
Pang De clenched his fists and said angrily.
"What? The bold thief dares to imprison the lord!"
As one of the ten generals of Xiliang.
Pound followed Ma Teng very early.
He accompanied him in countless battles, big and small, and also fought against Dong Zhuo together.
He is very loyal to Ma Teng.
Now that he heard that Ma Teng was imprisoned, Pang De could not wait to go to Xuchang immediately and rescue his lord.
Ma Dai also said coldly.
"The damned thief Cao, who held the emperor hostage to keep the princes silent, and imprisoned his father, deserves to be damned!"
"Cousin, give the order quickly!"
"We are willing to accompany you to kill Xuchang and rescue Congfu!"
As Ma Chao's cousin.
Ma Dai has been taken care of by Ma Teng since he was a child.
He also worked with Ma Chao to teach Ma Teng martial arts.
Over the years, Ma Teng has treated him as his own son and taken great care of him.
He led him to conquer the north and south, and made countless military exploits.
Therefore, Ma Dai's prestige in the Xiliang Army is second only to Ma Teng and Ma Chao and his son.
Ma Dai naturally kept this family affection in his heart.
Now that he heard that Ma Teng was imprisoned, he was no less anxious than his cousin Ma Chao.
Even though he was usually calm and calm, he was now so anxious that he could no longer remain calm.
The other generals also echoed angrily.
"That's right! Young Master! We'll ask for orders to kill Xuchang immediately and rescue the lord!"
"Young Master, without further delay, give the order immediately!"
"Give the order, young master!"
"..."
They were filled with righteous indignation and asked for life one after another.
Ma Chao clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger and worry.
Damn it, Cao Cao dared to imprison his father-in-law!
Life and death are still unknown!
You know, he has admired his handsome father since he was a child and has been working hard to achieve his goals.
In order to be able to surpass his father.
Ma Chao, who already has impressive talent, still works hard every day to practice martial arts.
While others practiced martial arts for one hour, he practiced martial arts for two or three hours!
Others practice equestrian for half a day, but he practices day and night!
The scariest people in the world are not talented people.
But talented people are still working hard!
In this way, Ma Chao finally got closer and closer to Ma Teng!
Just when he thought he was about to stand shoulder to shoulder with his handsome father.
Zhuge wrote a letter telling him that Cao Cao imprisoned his father!
How could Ma Chao endure this!
As the eldest son, he enjoyed almost all of Ma Teng's favor.
He is Ma Teng's proudest son.
At this time, my father was imprisoned!
As the son of man, how can I not save him? !
Ma Chao's eyes were as frosty as he said in a cold voice.
"Everyone!"
"Today, I will raise my troops and attack Xuchang!"
"You are willing to follow me and cut off the head of the thief Cao together and save the handsome father!"
Pang Demadai and others shouted in unison.
"We will obey the young master's orders!"
"Kill Xuchang and rescue the lord!"
"very good!"
Ma Chao looked in the direction of Xuchang, with murderous intent filling the entire prefecture.
"Send the order down!"
"Take stock of our respective units and follow me into Xuchang!"
Handsome father!
wait for me!
Cao thief!
Wash your neck and wait to die!
In the sunset, the Xiliang Prefect's Mansion was dyed red.
The setting sun is like blood.
It was as if his chest was pierced by the soaring murderous intent.
The entire Xiliang, most of the cavalry, received a common order!
That is the fierce military strength!
Kill Xuchang! ! !
……
Jingzhou.
Xiangyang.
The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.
The soldiers in the city are all actively training their troops.
To prepare for the coming Cao Cao army.
For a while, there was a lot of turmoil, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.
A tense and suffocating atmosphere surrounded Xiangyang City.
The people in the city have already gathered enough food to harvest the city for a year.
On the school field, the generals of various ministries are practicing charging, holding, bows and arrows, etc., in order to deal with the attack of Cao Cao's army.
Throughout Xiangyang City, the sounds of children playing and the lively shouting can be seen everywhere on weekdays.
The clatter of pots and pans in the pub, the grunting of drunkards on the street.
The naughty child was scolded by his mother, and the little lover murmured directly.
All of them are gone.
Some are just the sounds of soldiers training.
And the whistling sound of the wind like a ghost crying.
From top to bottom, Xiangyang City was fully prepared.
On the wall, Zhuge Ming was wearing a feather fan and a turban, he was high-spirited and his eyes were full of determination.
The wind blew his hair, completely exposing his angular face to the sunlight.
Cao Cao finally couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to raise troops to attack.
Zhuge Ming's eyes flashed with confidence.
Although since the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao has dominated the northern part of the Central Plains and has an absolute advantage.
He is said to have millions of elite soldiers under his command, capable of defeating any enemy.
There were even five great military advisors in the camp offering advice.
It can be said that it is powerful and its offensive is devastating.
However, Cao Cao's opponent this time.
It's Zhuge Ming!
Zhuge Ming had already thought about how to deal with Cao Cao.
He has been planning for this battle for a long time.
Even when I was just starting out, I was already making preparations.
Going south, Zhuge Kongming has been asked to go to Jiangdong to promote the alliance between Sun and Liu.
Going west, he sent a letter, which made Jin Machao of Xiliang unable to bear it any longer and raised troops to attack Cao.
To the north, the Xiangyang army had already prepared for battle, and its morale was at its peak.
To the east, wherever there are important natural cuts, there are already ambushes from various agencies.
The main battlefield will then be set in Chibi.
All the games and chess pieces have been laid out.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Just wait for the Cao thief to come. When the overall situation is consolidated, he will be unable to take care of the head and the tail, and he will be overwhelmed and come back in vain!
At that time, you can take the opportunity to go north and divide the world into three parts.
And they will also be the biggest beneficiaries.
You can even use this to leapfrog Jiangdong.
The territory and power reached a level only slightly inferior to Cao Cao.
After the three pillars stood up, whether it was Jiangdong or Cao Cao.
No one will be afraid anymore!
Zhuge Ming looked into the distance and saw the upcoming battle of Chibi.
But he is already planning in his heart how to take the road after the three pillars are established.
Now that he has decided to help Liu Bei conquer the world.
Then the world will definitely be in the hands of Shu Han!
at this time.
A sound of footsteps came from behind.
Zhuge Ming knew who the visitor was without even turning around.
"Lord, what do you want from me?"
He folded the fan and shook it gently, the clouds were calm and the wind was gentle.
As if he didn't care at all about the upcoming battle, victory was already certain.
It seemed out of place with the entire atmosphere of Xiangyang City.
The person coming was none other than Liu Bei.
Since Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong.
He was a little uneasy.
Because in Zhuge Ming's strategy, the alliance between Sun and Liu is an extremely important part.
If it fails, the entire plan will be thrown into chaos.
So much so that it had to be redeployed.
Time is of the essence and something may happen.
Although Zhuge Kongming is known as Crouching Dragon.
But they had never witnessed it with their own eyes, and they were somewhat doubtful of his abilities.
As the leader of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was naturally extremely worried.
Liu Bei stood at the top of the city, holding the scarred city wall with both hands, worry on his face.
"Military advisor, do you have any news about Wolong now?"
"He has been going to Jiangdong for some time. I am worried that something will happen."
Zhuge Ming chuckled and shook his head.
"Master, don't worry."
"The crouching dragon and the phoenix chick can conquer the world if they get one, and their fame is not in vain."
"My brother's talent is ten times better than mine."
"This trip to Jiangdong will definitely bring good news."
Thinking back to the time when Zhuge Liang was still young, he had already displayed his talent.
And the ability that Mr. Shui Jing and others are full of praise for.
The power covers three parts of the country, and the famous eight formations.
Zhuge Ming never worried about Zhuge Liang's ability.
For now, it is enough to just wait quietly for Zhuge Liang to send good news.
And heard Zhuge Ming praise Wolong so much.
Liu Bei's heart calmed down a little, but he was also a little stunned.
Ten times as talented?
How can it be? !
Liu Bei shook his head secretly in his heart.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhuge Ming.
On the contrary, he obeyed Zhuge Ming's words.
Zhuge Ming asked him to go east, but he would never go west.
Zhuge Ming pointed to the fire pit in front and said, jump in.
He would not hesitate to lead his soldiers to jump in.
This is Liu Bei's absolute trust in Zhuge Ming.
This trust even exceeds that of himself.
However, Zhuge Ming praised his younger brother Wolong for being ten times more talented.
Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little more suspicious, feeling that there was a lot of exaggeration in it.
Thinking about it carefully, every move Zhuge Ming made was extremely perfect.
Regardless of whether Cao Cao was defeated with less or more, Cao Cao's vitality was severely damaged.
Then, when you are in a desperate situation, you can save the building from falling and pull yourself up from the desperate situation.
To occupy Jingzhou, pacify the clan, and win back the hearts of the people, from top to bottom.
The plan was to defeat Cao Cao and make his emperor and ministers alienated from their moral integrity and unable to go south, which relieved internal and external troubles and gave him a little more breathing space.
He also defeated Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, completely occupied Jingzhou, and supported hundreds of thousands of troops.
Now Zhuge Liang is asked to go to the alliance with Jiangdong, write letters to alienate Xiliang Ma Chao, and ask him to bring trouble to Cao Cao.
Then to the battlefield and Chibi, Cao Cao lost his natural location.
Any step would be enough to shock the world.
He is even the best in the world, and no one can surpass him.
If you don't follow his strategy, even the slightest mistake will be fatal.
Liu Bei believed that there was no other person in the world who could do all this better.
Such a genius actually said that Zhuge Liang was ten times more talented than him?
Then how evil can Zhuge Liang be?
To be honest, Liu Bei actually didn't believe it in his heart.
Zhuge Wolong may indeed be talented.
But without witnessing it with his own eyes, Liu Bei would not feel that he was stronger than Zhuge Ming no matter what.
After all, this journey has led to where we are today.
All are due to Zhuge Ming's own efforts.
Even apart from his position as a lord, he has no other merit in it.
The soldiers also showed great respect to Zhuge Ming.
In this case, Liu Bei would not believe that Zhuge Ming could be weaker than Wolong even if he beat him to death.
but no matter.
Since the military advisors all praised Zhuge Liang, he definitely had real materials.
The two most powerful monsters of the Zhuge clan are under his command.
Why worry about great achievements being difficult to achieve?
The tension in Liu Bei's heart dissipated, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
It seems that I have seen a beautiful blueprint for the future, and it is getting closer and closer to me.
……
On the river, a small boat sent Zhuge into the firewood.
Zhuge Liang, holding a feather fan in his hand, wearing a silk scarf on his head, a cloth robe with a girdle, and green shoes, went straight to Wuhou Palace.
"Second brother! It's you!"
As soon as I arrived not far from the palace gate, I heard someone shouting in the distance while walking towards this side.
"Big brother, little brother Zhuge Liang pays homage to my brother!"
Zhuge Liang followed the sound and saw a man who had just walked out of Wuhou Palace. He was dressed luxuriously and had a ring around his waist. He was high-spirited. It was his eldest brother Zhuge Jin!
Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"Brother is coming to Jiangdong. Why don't you tell me beforehand so that I can send someone to pick you up? You and I haven't seen each other for months, and I miss you too!"
Zhuge Jin was greatly surprised. He did not expect that Zhuge Wolong, who had been living in seclusion in Nanjun, suddenly came to Jiangdong!
"Liang came to Jiangdong to do official business. Although he misses his eldest brother, it is a private matter. Liang does not dare to abandon his official duties for personal reasons. After visiting Wu Hou, he is looking for his eldest brother to reminisce about the past."
Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted again, and spoke slowly.
"Kong Ming, you have been living in seclusion for many years and have no responsibilities. How can you do official work? If you want to surrender to my lord and seek a future, I will introduce you personally. It will be much smoother than if you recommend yourself."
Zhuge Jin was displeased, thinking that his brother was too narrow-minded, and Jingzhou was destroyed and occupied by Liu Bei.He can't stand his ground and wants to seek refuge in Jiangdong, but he doesn't want me to do this to recommend talents!
"I am now serving in Uncle Liu's military advisor's office. Now that I am here in Jiangdong, I am also sent by the emperor's uncle as a military advisor. Liang does not dare to abandon public service for personal reasons!"
"Since my brother is here, please lead me into the palace to pay a visit to your lord."
Zhuge Liang said seriously, without any of the warmth he felt when reminiscing about the past.
"what!"
"You have become Liu Bei's staff, but you are not yet a military advisor. You still need to abide by the military advisor's assignments! Brother, you are Wolong!"
Zhuge Jin was shocked. He didn't expect that Zhuge Wolong, the most famous member of the Zhuge family, would be willing to become Liu Bei's secret servant!
"I will take you to see my lord first. After the official business is over, you and I will have a long talk."
Zhuge Jin was shocked and saw that Zhuge Liang was as calm as a mountain and his expression remained unchanged. He quickly gathered his mind and walked ahead to lead Kong Ming into the palace.
"My lord, my younger brother Zhuge Kongming came here to pay homage to my lord."
After Zhuge Jin saluted, he led Zhuge Liang to Sun Quan, bowed and retreated.
"Oh!"
"Are you Zhuge Kongming?"
Sun Quan, with his curly beard and blue eyes, looked majestic. He turned back to look at Zhuge Liang and asked in surprise.
"Zhuge Liang came here to pay homage to the Marquis of Wu on the orders of Zhuge Wende, our military advisor, and to send greetings to the Marquis of Wu on behalf of our military advisor and my lord."
Kong Ming was not afraid at all when facing Sun Quan, he faced it calmly and calmly.
"Zhuge Wende? Who is he?"
Sun Quan asked blankly.
Although he has been in Jiangdong for a long time, Jiangdong's scouts are all over the world. There are people from Jiangdong in Xuchang, Jingzhou, and even Xiliang and Liaodong.
Sun Quan knew all the information from all over the world.
But this was the first time he had heard of Zhuge Wende.
"Zhuge Wende, my brother is the same! When Liang was young, I inherited his upbringing and teachings."
Zhuge Liang was in awe when he mentioned Zhuge Ming!
"Could he be the Zhuge military advisor who plotted against Jingxiang and defeated Cao's thieves?"
Sun Quan became more and more surprised. Although rumors were spreading, he privately believed that there was no one other than Zhuge Wolong who could help Liu Bei decide Jingzhou!
Until today, we know that all this was not Zhuge Wolong's fault, but Zhuge Wende's strategizing.
"Yes, the recapture of the nine counties of Jingxiang was all done by my brother Zhuge Wende!"
“Including Changsha!”
Zhuge Liang said proudly, calmly.At this moment, in Jingzhou, the army is at its peak and morale is like a rainbow.It is enough to compete with Jiangdong.
He came here to be a guest, strategize, and change his past look that was looked down upon by Jiangdong!
……
When Sun Quan heard this, his color suddenly changed, he stood up and went straight into the back hall.
But Zhuge Liang looked calm and stood there calmly, unmoved at all.
"The prince's expression is different and unusual. Is there something wrong?"
In the back hall, Mrs. Bu, trainer Bu, asked warmly while holding a bowl of tea.
"Zhuge Kongming, you bullied me too much!"
"I will give the order tomorrow. Zhu Gongjin will immediately send troops to attack Changsha first and then Xiangyang!"
Sun Quan was still angry, sat on a chair, slapped the table and said.
"The prince, please calm down. If this is the case, my land east of Jiangdong may be in danger!"
Mrs. Bu hurriedly put the tea bowl on the table and knelt down in front of Sun Quan.
"In the past, Jing once told the princes, and I also listened quietly. Now that Cao's thieves are powerful, our family, Sun and Liu, can only survive this disaster by joining forces to fight against Cao. If the princes and princes' spirits are at odds, they will raise an army to attack Jingzhou is taking advantage of Cao Cao's wishes, I'm afraid Jingzhou Jiangdong will be destroyed by Cao Cao sooner or later!"
Although Mrs. Bu was a female, she was insightful and calm-minded. Sun Quan relied on her very much and loved her very much.
"It was for the alliance between Sun and Liu that Gong Jin gave up the land of Changsha to Liu Da'er. Even the money and food for Changsha's soldiers, horses, and horses were sealed and handed over to them! Unexpectedly, Zhuge Pifu today, instead Insult me one after another!"
Sun Quan was so angry that he broke a corner of the table with a bang, and the tea bowl on the table also rolled to the ground.
"A prince, a little impatience will ruin a big plan! In the past, when Liu Bei was weak, didn't the prince never look at him seriously? What's more, what happened in Changsha is also a fact. Although Kong Ming was disrespectful, he was not fabricated out of thin air..."
"If the prince doesn't want to say anything, you can ask him to come back tomorrow to meet with our Jiangdong ministers and discuss it later."
Mrs. Bu smiled and spoke warmly, and Sun Quan's anger gradually subsided.
"If a man has a good wife, he should not do anything bad! If it weren't for my wife, I would have been so close to causing a catastrophe today and handing over the inheritance of my ancestors to the thief Cao!"
Sun Quan stood up and held Madam Bu's hand tightly, with a grateful look on his face.
"Mr. Kong Ming is still waiting outside. The prince must not lose his etiquette!"
Mrs. Bu bowed and went into the inner hall.
"Mr. Kong Ming, I am slightly ill. I am waiting for you today. Please rest for now and see you here the next morning."
Sun Quan came out and saw Kong Ming looking relaxed and still standing there without moving at all, so he pretended to be apologetic and said with a smile.
"In this case, Liang will leave for the time being and come back to visit the princes the next day."
Kong Ming did not insist on talking too much to avoid giving Sun Quan the illusion of rushing to seek alliance cooperation.So he bowed, bowed and left.
……
The next day.
The wind and sunshine are beautiful, and the land of Jiangdong is even warmer and pleasant.
The two corridors of Wuhou Palace are filled with all kinds of exotic flowers. Walking through them is like walking in a royal garden.
Kong Ming, wearing a feather fan and silk scarf, looked up and entered. Although he was only one person, his momentum was like a rainbow and he showed no fear.
Arriving at the main hall, Jiangdong civil servants were all present.
On the left side, Zhang Zhao is the first, followed by Zhu Ran, Gu Yong, and Kan Ze.
On the right side, Zhang Hong is at the head, followed by Zhuge Jin and Kan Ze. Under Kan Ze, it was originally Lu Ji, but Lu Ji falsely promised to surrender to Cao Cao and was beheaded by Zhou Yu. The person who filled this position at this time was Bu Zhi, Bu Zhi and Bu Zhi. Zha's sister is Sun Quan's beloved concubine Bu Lianshi.
Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others saw Zhuge Liang's leisurely expression and calm steps without any confusion, and they all felt fear in their hearts!
This man is Zhuge Wende’s younger brother! !
(End of this chapter)
Xiangyang, in the Military Advisor's Mansion.
In February, flowers are in full bloom!
Zhuge Liang raised his head and saw Huang Yueying standing outside the military advisor's mansion.
"Yueying, why are you here?"
"So it's really you!"
"You misunderstood. The military advisor is my brother."
After Zhuge Liang explained to Huang Yueying, Huang Yueying was surprised.
"It turns out that the rumor that Zhuge Wende has inspired the world is true!"
"Madam, I still need to go to Jiangdong. I'm here to introduce you to my brother!"
After Zhuge Liang and his wife Huang Yueying paid homage to his brother, they got up and left Xiangyang for Jiangdong!
……
Water Mirror Villa.
Clear springs flow in the villa.
There are many small trees planted here.
As a gust of breeze passed by at dawn, the small tree began to sway.
Among the pavilions.
Sitting here is a middle-aged man with a calm expression but lively eyebrows.
This person is Sima Hui.
Sima Hui was called Mr. Shui Jing.
Proficient in Qimen, art of war, and classics.
He is an elegant person, has extensive knowledge, and has the ability to understand people.
Sima Hui blew into the oncoming wind, and his expression became relaxed.
A gentleman should hide in the mountains and overlook the general situation of the world.
Life here is peaceful and quiet.
It was very comfortable and comfortable for him.
Sima Hui slowly stood up and stretched, then his eyes flashed and he looked into the distance.
And right now!
There was a child in Tsing Yi outside the door.
He jogged all the way to Sima Hui and took out a volume of letters from his arms.
Sima Hui took it over.
This letter records recent major events.
Then Sima Hui waved his hand slowly, asking the child to retreat first, and opened the letter directly.
When he saw the message above, his eyes froze.
So I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The news above is that Zhuge Liang appeared in Xiangyang.
Sima Hui couldn't help but pace back and forth, thinking about the problem.
Zhuge Liang is known as Wolong.
Even if he is his intellectual talent, he is very recognized.
But now the other party appears in Xiangyang.
This shows that Zhuge Liang has something to do with Liu Bei's forces in Jingzhou.
Counselors never leave the mountain.
If he leaves the mountain, he must have chosen the lord.
Is Zhuge Liang planning to assist Liu Bei?
When Sima Hui thought of this, he took a deep breath.
It is indeed Zhuge Liang's plan, and the one who masters the plan is Zhuge Liang.
When this idea appeared in his mind for a moment.
Sima Hui shook his head again, and the look in his eyes became confused.
But!If Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei's mastermind.
Why did Liu Bei hand over the positions of commander-in-chief and chief military advisor to Zhuge Yong?
This doesn't make sense!
……
Wancheng.
Cao Cao was wearing a red robe and riding a tall horse.
He led the army behind him and slowly entered the city.
Wherever he went, many nobles were frightened.
They have never seen such a battle.
As for hundreds of miles away.
It was Fancheng occupied by Liu Bei.
Because Fancheng is located in the south of Jianghan Plain.
It is bordered by the Han River to the north and the Dabie Mountains to the south.
Today there are three pillars in the world.
Fancheng occupies an extremely important geographical location.
Even if it is called a battleground for military strategists, it is not an exaggeration.
Now in Fancheng.
The garrison was fifty thousand.
Moreover, Zhuge Ming has sent Zhao Yun, Wenpin, Wei Yan, Li Yan, Kuai Yue, Huo Jun, and Yi Ji to defend the city.
These people are already famous warriors.
Each of them has the ability to control one side.
The lineup is very luxurious.
The Han River divides into Xiangyang and Fancheng.
If you drive straight in, you will reach Jingzhou after crossing Fancheng.
Fancheng is the gateway to Jingzhou and the place where the four battles took place.
Nowadays, although Cao Cao claims to command an army of millions, he can throw a whip to cut off the river.
But as long as Fancheng is there, the Han River will be difficult to cross.
If Fancheng is lost, the nine counties of Jingzhou will be wide open.
Let anyone take it for themselves!
In a recently built Chinese military tent in Wancheng.
Cao Cao was wearing a red robe and his thick, dark beard made his whole body full of energy.
It makes one look calm and intimidating.
In front of him stood his generals and counselors.
The camp was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Now the army has moved south.
Cao Cao had the power to dominate the world and destroyed Jiangdong and Jingzhou.
Thus unifying the Central Plains.
Cao Cao raised his feet, then glanced at the people in front of him, and said loudly: "Now we have arrived at Wancheng. Fancheng is right in front of us. The land of Jingzhou and Jiangdong are also within easy reach."
As soon as this word comes out!
Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Dun looked excited.
This is the moment they have been waiting for.
If Wancheng can be broken open, it will be a huge achievement.
It has been recorded in the annals of history and has been passed down through the ages.
Thousands of years later, there are still people who can remember the name.
This is a great honor for them.
Zhang Liao took the lead to take a step forward, clasping his hands into fists, and said in a deep voice: "The last general invites you to fight! Attack Fancheng! Make the first contribution to the Prime Minister!"
"The end will fight!"
"The end will fight!"
Cao Ren and Cao Hong also walked out directly.
The generals lined up, their expressions suddenly excited, wanting to take the lead.
Cao Cao saw that the general in front of him was so full of fighting spirit, and nodded with satisfaction.
So he waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! Such momentum! He is indeed a tiger general in our army. He came here to destroy the big-eared thief and Sun Quan."
After hearing Cao Cao's praise, the generals looked more and more excited.
They felt that the blood in their bodies was burning at this moment.
Take the lead, kill the general and capture the flag.
He made great achievements in battle among thousands of troops.
He is destined to achieve extraordinary things in the future.
As for the counselors.
Xun You, Chen Qun, Jia Xu, Zhong Yao and others.
Seeing the excited general in front of them, they couldn't help but frown and look at each other.
If we attack now.
You still have to make some arrangements.
Otherwise, it is very likely that the opponent will be caught off guard.
Xun You's eyes narrowed slightly, twinkling.
Finally decided to take a step forward.
"Prime Minister! Fancheng is a place for a deadly battle. We can surround Fancheng and wait for Liu Bei's army to rescue Fancheng."
As soon as these words came out, the other three people also echoed.
It would be unwise to send troops hastily now!
After Cao Cao heard this, the smile disappeared from his face, and a sinister look flashed in the corner of his eyes.
Now the military is in full swing.
We will not attack Fancheng at this time.
When to attack!
Moreover, this battle is the first battle, so we must show momentum to be unstoppable later on.
Cao Cao glanced at the few people and said coldly: "Fan City is so tall that if there is abundant food and grass, it can last for a year."
"If Fancheng can delay it for a year, can Gu's army hold on for another year?"
As soon as these words came out, Xun You and others looked at each other.
This time we went from the north to the south.
A lot of food and grass were consumed along the way. If the army besieged Fancheng, it might not last more than a year.
Once there is no food in the army.
The army will be morally defeated and surrender without a fight.
This is a rather troublesome thing.
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he did not pay attention to the expressions of several people. Instead, he waved his hand and continued: "Who are the people stationed in Fancheng this time?"
"Zhao Yun, Wenpin, Wei Yan, Li Yan, Kuai Yue, Huo Jun, are from Yi."
Xun You looked at Cao Cao, and the names came out of his mouth one by one.
As these names were spoken, the generals in the Chinese army's tent could not help but frown, their expressions full of solemnity.
For this battle!
They dare not neglect in the slightest.
Because these people are world-famous warriors.
Each one of them is brave and good at fighting, and has the ability that one man can defeat, and no one can defeat him.
If encountered on the battlefield.
It's really a headache.
After hearing this name, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked solemn.
Although he is known as a million-strong army.
But that's just a false claim.
Now he only has 56 troops in his hands.
If you meet these generals.
It’s really extremely difficult to handle.
Zhao Yun, Wenpin, Wei Yan, and Li Yan were all good at fighting.
These four people all have one man who is in charge of the pass, and no one can be brave enough to open it.
The atmosphere in the Chinese army's tent fell into silence.
Just now he was a warrior full of fighting spirit, but now his aura is obviously a bit weaker.
but!
They are still not afraid!
If you want to make unparalleled achievements on the battlefield.
It is necessary to defeat these powerful and famous generals in order to achieve one's own status.
Heroes also grow old.
After a moment.
Cao Cao waved his hand and asked everyone in front of him to retreat.
He wants to be alone.
Time passed quietly.
By night.
Cao Cao came barefoot outside the Chinese army's tent, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and a ray of light rose in his eyes.
The bright white moon shone on his face.
The wind gradually blew over.
The whiskers on his face fluttered.
The night is slightly cool.
Cao Cao also felt a bit cold in his heart.
This Zhuge Liang has planned a huge foundation for Liu Bei!
Just half a year!
This is only half a year old!
If you give him ten years, how powerful will he be!
Cao Cao let out a breath when he thought of this.
Then he slowly turned around and returned to the Chinese army's tent.
……
Xiangyang.
Zhuge Ming walked with his hands behind his back, slowly walking alone in the courtyard in front of the court.
Military advisors like peace and quiet, so Liu Bei deliberately chose a secluded location for the general's palace. Under the courtyard wall, there are potted green plants of various colors. When winter goes to spring, the entire courtyard is like a big garden.
At this moment, Zhuge Ming lowered his head and meditated. The map of Jiuzhou and China was hidden in his mind, and what emerged in his mind at this moment was the geography of the nine counties of Jingzhou.
Cao Cao soon marched south, with an army of 56, thunderous and unstoppable!
If we want to survive this disaster, it will be ten times more severe than taking Jingzhou!
"Brother Zhuge, it's such a good weather today, why are you so happy?"
The day after Ma Liang checked into the Military Advisor's Mansion, he came to report as scheduled.
"Ji Chang, you came just in time!"
Zhuge Ming suddenly looked up and saw a man with white eyebrows and handsome clothes. Although he was dressed simply, he had a good temperament. It was Ma Liang, the great sage of the Ma family.
Mashi Wuchang, white eyebrows are the best!
"Ma Liang, a humble servant, pays homage to Military Advisor Zhuge!"
Ma Liang walked up to Zhuge Ming, straightened his clothes and bowed.
"Ji Chang, you and I have known each other for a long time. Without you, how could I have opened the Xiangyang School and taught classes in the past? It's just an old relationship, and there will be no need to be so polite in the future."
Zhuge Ming smiled faintly and reached out to help Ma Liang up.
"Privately, you and I are as close as brothers, but there is a clear distinction between public and private affairs. Even if I enter the military advisor's office, I am naturally a subordinate of the military advisor. I still need to abide by my duties!"
Ma Liang said seriously, not daring to be careless at all.
"People say that Ma Liang is the most virtuous, and when we meet him today, he is indeed not one to be deceived by me!"
Zhuge Ming nodded and said in admiration.
"Military advisor, when Cao Cao goes south, Nanyang County is the first to bear the brunt. And our Xiangyang County is connected to Nanyang to the north and Nanjun to the south. If Nanyang fails, both Xiangyang and Nanjun will be in danger!"
Ma Liang followed Zhuge Ming and walked into the main hall of the mansion. He pointed at the map of Jingzhou and said with a frown.
"Cao Cao has attacked me before. When he comes this time, he will definitely have new and old grudges. It will be a life-or-death showdown. We should not underestimate him."
Zhuge Ming nodded and stared at the map, seemingly thoughtful.
"Xinye Fancheng is a strategic place that must be fought over by military strategists! The last time Cao Ren led his troops to conquer this place, he suffered a big loss. This time Cao Cao goes south, I'm afraid these two cities will become their key attack targets."
"But for two cities, if there are many soldiers, there is no danger to defend them, and if there are few soldiers, they cannot resist the enemy. I am afraid that it will be difficult to support a single tree, and it will be lost sooner or later!"
Ma Liang stretched out his finger and kept measuring the distance between Jiangxia, Xiangyang, and Nanyang on the map, thinking about how to march troops, how to set up formations, how to rescue, how to evacuate, etc.
Zhuge Ming shook his folding fan and slowly circled the map twice. After watching Ma Liang meditate, he said calmly: "Cao's army is powerful, with strong soldiers and horses, but the soldiers in Jingzhou are all new soldiers, or they have just surrendered, and they are not well trained. . If you try to sharpen its edge, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg. If you hit it, it will break!"
"But I have a countermeasure. When Cao Cao comes, I will make him come back defeated. It will be ten times worse than last time!"
Zhuge Ming's eyes flashed, resolute and full of wisdom.
"However, our situation in Jingzhou is in danger. We only have more than [-] soldiers and horses. If we fight with Cao Cao, both sides will suffer, and there is nothing we can do without it!"
Ma Liang was still worried: "Even if Cao Cao's 56 soldiers and horses were completely wiped out, as long as the general does not die, he can still form such a powerful army in just a few years. But in our land of Jingxiang, with 23 soldiers and horses, it will take many years." It’s all a result of hard work…”
Zhuge Ming smiled faintly: "I regard 56 soldiers and horses as nothing! I used a little strategy to turn them into powder. Not only that, my Jingxiang soldiers and horses were unscathed, and they were able to occupy the city and become stronger!"
Ma Liang suddenly looked up, saw Zhuge Ming's eyes, and immediately felt that the nine counties of Jingxiang were as stable as Mount Tai!
"Oh!"
"With military advisors planning, there is no need to worry..."
……
Xiliang.
The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying.
The setting sun bites the lips of the sunset, and instantly sheds a bright red.
The boundless line between heaven and earth.
A figure gradually emerged.
With his appearance, the vast land seemed to be completely silent.
Between heaven and earth, there was only the sound of galloping horse hooves.
blah blah-
The dark horses galloped freely on the grassland, chasing the wind day after day.
"Drive, drive!"
On horseback, a man wearing brocade armor, his face filled with arrogance and arrogance!
His face is like a crown jade, his eyes are like shooting stars, he has the body of a tiger, the arms of an ape, the belly of a wolf and the waist of a wolf. He holds a spear in his hand and rides a horse.
The armor on his body is made of the finest materials. He has a lion helmet on his head, an animal belt around his waist, silver armor and white robes. He looks like a hero among men.
He is the son of Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang.
The powerful Jin Ma Chao in Xiliang!
Ma Chao rode his horse and raised his whip. Wherever he passed, the wind bent the grass, and snakes and insects hurriedly got out of the way.
A long snake just woke up from the grass and raised its head.
He was mercilessly ground to pulp by the horses' hooves.
At this time, another galloping horse came galloping over.
The person coming was none other than Ma Dai, Ma Chao's cousin.
"Cousin! Cousin!"
Hearing Ma Dai's voice, Ma Chao grabbed the reins and reined in the galloping horse.
"Call-"
After the horse stopped, Ma Dai also came to his side.
Ma Chao saw his hurried expression and asked:
"Cousin, why are you here?"
Ma Dai took out a letter from his arms.
"Cousin!"
"Here is a secret message from Jingzhou!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he frowned.
A secret message from Jingzhou, isn’t that Liu Bei’s territory?
Why is he writing to me at this juncture?
He quickly took the letter and opened it.
The above is simple.
But Ma Chao's fists clenched instantly, and Xin was also clenched into a ball by him!
Ma Chao's eyes were cold, and a killing intent shot up from the sky.
"Cao thief!!!"
He gnashed his teeth as if he wanted to eat Cao Cao alive!
Feeling Ma Chao's terrifying murderous intent, Ma Dai looked shocked.
"Cousin, what happened?"
Ma Chao's face was as cold as frost and he said in a cold voice.
"Let's go back to the prefect's mansion!"
Before he finished speaking, he galloped away on horseback.
Ma Dai felt something bad in his heart.
This was the first time he had seen his cousin so angry.
Could it be that something big happened?
"drive!"
Ma Dai quickly caught the horse's belly with his legs and chased after him.
After the two returned to the prefect's mansion, Ma Chao immediately asked Ma Dai to call the other generals.
But half a stick of incense time.
Ten generals, including Pang De, Ma Dai, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Yang Qiu, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Ma Wan and Cheng Yi, panted into the mansion.
These ten people are the foundation of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
They are also the confidants of Ma Teng and his son who command the Xiliang cavalry!
Under the leadership of Ma Teng and Ma Chao, they guard Xiliang so that no one dares to invade the border!
Originally they were training troops.
After seeing Ma Dai hurried over, he learned that there was something important to discuss.
They all immediately put down what they were doing and rushed over as soon as possible.
"Little Lord!"
Several people saluted together.
Pang De asked respectfully.
"Young Master, why are you coming to us in such a hurry?"
When they entered the house just now, they saw Ma Chao pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, his face extremely anxious.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ma Chao slapped a crumpled letter on the table.
He spoke in a cold voice, his words full of murderous intent.
"This letter is sent from Jingzhou."
"The signature is Zhuge." "That is, the chief military advisor under Liu Bei in Jingzhou."
"He wrote to me, saying that my father had entered Xuchang and was being imprisoned by Cao Cao."
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers present were shaken.
They looked at each other, and they both saw the burning anger in each other's pupils!
Pang De clenched his fists and said angrily.
"What? The bold thief dares to imprison the lord!"
As one of the ten generals of Xiliang.
Pound followed Ma Teng very early.
He accompanied him in countless battles, big and small, and also fought against Dong Zhuo together.
He is very loyal to Ma Teng.
Now that he heard that Ma Teng was imprisoned, Pang De could not wait to go to Xuchang immediately and rescue his lord.
Ma Dai also said coldly.
"The damned thief Cao, who held the emperor hostage to keep the princes silent, and imprisoned his father, deserves to be damned!"
"Cousin, give the order quickly!"
"We are willing to accompany you to kill Xuchang and rescue Congfu!"
As Ma Chao's cousin.
Ma Dai has been taken care of by Ma Teng since he was a child.
He also worked with Ma Chao to teach Ma Teng martial arts.
Over the years, Ma Teng has treated him as his own son and taken great care of him.
He led him to conquer the north and south, and made countless military exploits.
Therefore, Ma Dai's prestige in the Xiliang Army is second only to Ma Teng and Ma Chao and his son.
Ma Dai naturally kept this family affection in his heart.
Now that he heard that Ma Teng was imprisoned, he was no less anxious than his cousin Ma Chao.
Even though he was usually calm and calm, he was now so anxious that he could no longer remain calm.
The other generals also echoed angrily.
"That's right! Young Master! We'll ask for orders to kill Xuchang immediately and rescue the lord!"
"Young Master, without further delay, give the order immediately!"
"Give the order, young master!"
"..."
They were filled with righteous indignation and asked for life one after another.
Ma Chao clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger and worry.
Damn it, Cao Cao dared to imprison his father-in-law!
Life and death are still unknown!
You know, he has admired his handsome father since he was a child and has been working hard to achieve his goals.
In order to be able to surpass his father.
Ma Chao, who already has impressive talent, still works hard every day to practice martial arts.
While others practiced martial arts for one hour, he practiced martial arts for two or three hours!
Others practice equestrian for half a day, but he practices day and night!
The scariest people in the world are not talented people.
But talented people are still working hard!
In this way, Ma Chao finally got closer and closer to Ma Teng!
Just when he thought he was about to stand shoulder to shoulder with his handsome father.
Zhuge wrote a letter telling him that Cao Cao imprisoned his father!
How could Ma Chao endure this!
As the eldest son, he enjoyed almost all of Ma Teng's favor.
He is Ma Teng's proudest son.
At this time, my father was imprisoned!
As the son of man, how can I not save him? !
Ma Chao's eyes were as frosty as he said in a cold voice.
"Everyone!"
"Today, I will raise my troops and attack Xuchang!"
"You are willing to follow me and cut off the head of the thief Cao together and save the handsome father!"
Pang Demadai and others shouted in unison.
"We will obey the young master's orders!"
"Kill Xuchang and rescue the lord!"
"very good!"
Ma Chao looked in the direction of Xuchang, with murderous intent filling the entire prefecture.
"Send the order down!"
"Take stock of our respective units and follow me into Xuchang!"
Handsome father!
wait for me!
Cao thief!
Wash your neck and wait to die!
In the sunset, the Xiliang Prefect's Mansion was dyed red.
The setting sun is like blood.
It was as if his chest was pierced by the soaring murderous intent.
The entire Xiliang, most of the cavalry, received a common order!
That is the fierce military strength!
Kill Xuchang! ! !
……
Jingzhou.
Xiangyang.
The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.
The soldiers in the city are all actively training their troops.
To prepare for the coming Cao Cao army.
For a while, there was a lot of turmoil, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.
A tense and suffocating atmosphere surrounded Xiangyang City.
The people in the city have already gathered enough food to harvest the city for a year.
On the school field, the generals of various ministries are practicing charging, holding, bows and arrows, etc., in order to deal with the attack of Cao Cao's army.
Throughout Xiangyang City, the sounds of children playing and the lively shouting can be seen everywhere on weekdays.
The clatter of pots and pans in the pub, the grunting of drunkards on the street.
The naughty child was scolded by his mother, and the little lover murmured directly.
All of them are gone.
Some are just the sounds of soldiers training.
And the whistling sound of the wind like a ghost crying.
From top to bottom, Xiangyang City was fully prepared.
On the wall, Zhuge Ming was wearing a feather fan and a turban, he was high-spirited and his eyes were full of determination.
The wind blew his hair, completely exposing his angular face to the sunlight.
Cao Cao finally couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to raise troops to attack.
Zhuge Ming's eyes flashed with confidence.
Although since the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao has dominated the northern part of the Central Plains and has an absolute advantage.
He is said to have millions of elite soldiers under his command, capable of defeating any enemy.
There were even five great military advisors in the camp offering advice.
It can be said that it is powerful and its offensive is devastating.
However, Cao Cao's opponent this time.
It's Zhuge Ming!
Zhuge Ming had already thought about how to deal with Cao Cao.
He has been planning for this battle for a long time.
Even when I was just starting out, I was already making preparations.
Going south, Zhuge Kongming has been asked to go to Jiangdong to promote the alliance between Sun and Liu.
Going west, he sent a letter, which made Jin Machao of Xiliang unable to bear it any longer and raised troops to attack Cao.
To the north, the Xiangyang army had already prepared for battle, and its morale was at its peak.
To the east, wherever there are important natural cuts, there are already ambushes from various agencies.
The main battlefield will then be set in Chibi.
All the games and chess pieces have been laid out.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Just wait for the Cao thief to come. When the overall situation is consolidated, he will be unable to take care of the head and the tail, and he will be overwhelmed and come back in vain!
At that time, you can take the opportunity to go north and divide the world into three parts.
And they will also be the biggest beneficiaries.
You can even use this to leapfrog Jiangdong.
The territory and power reached a level only slightly inferior to Cao Cao.
After the three pillars stood up, whether it was Jiangdong or Cao Cao.
No one will be afraid anymore!
Zhuge Ming looked into the distance and saw the upcoming battle of Chibi.
But he is already planning in his heart how to take the road after the three pillars are established.
Now that he has decided to help Liu Bei conquer the world.
Then the world will definitely be in the hands of Shu Han!
at this time.
A sound of footsteps came from behind.
Zhuge Ming knew who the visitor was without even turning around.
"Lord, what do you want from me?"
He folded the fan and shook it gently, the clouds were calm and the wind was gentle.
As if he didn't care at all about the upcoming battle, victory was already certain.
It seemed out of place with the entire atmosphere of Xiangyang City.
The person coming was none other than Liu Bei.
Since Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong.
He was a little uneasy.
Because in Zhuge Ming's strategy, the alliance between Sun and Liu is an extremely important part.
If it fails, the entire plan will be thrown into chaos.
So much so that it had to be redeployed.
Time is of the essence and something may happen.
Although Zhuge Kongming is known as Crouching Dragon.
But they had never witnessed it with their own eyes, and they were somewhat doubtful of his abilities.
As the leader of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was naturally extremely worried.
Liu Bei stood at the top of the city, holding the scarred city wall with both hands, worry on his face.
"Military advisor, do you have any news about Wolong now?"
"He has been going to Jiangdong for some time. I am worried that something will happen."
Zhuge Ming chuckled and shook his head.
"Master, don't worry."
"The crouching dragon and the phoenix chick can conquer the world if they get one, and their fame is not in vain."
"My brother's talent is ten times better than mine."
"This trip to Jiangdong will definitely bring good news."
Thinking back to the time when Zhuge Liang was still young, he had already displayed his talent.
And the ability that Mr. Shui Jing and others are full of praise for.
The power covers three parts of the country, and the famous eight formations.
Zhuge Ming never worried about Zhuge Liang's ability.
For now, it is enough to just wait quietly for Zhuge Liang to send good news.
And heard Zhuge Ming praise Wolong so much.
Liu Bei's heart calmed down a little, but he was also a little stunned.
Ten times as talented?
How can it be? !
Liu Bei shook his head secretly in his heart.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhuge Ming.
On the contrary, he obeyed Zhuge Ming's words.
Zhuge Ming asked him to go east, but he would never go west.
Zhuge Ming pointed to the fire pit in front and said, jump in.
He would not hesitate to lead his soldiers to jump in.
This is Liu Bei's absolute trust in Zhuge Ming.
This trust even exceeds that of himself.
However, Zhuge Ming praised his younger brother Wolong for being ten times more talented.
Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little more suspicious, feeling that there was a lot of exaggeration in it.
Thinking about it carefully, every move Zhuge Ming made was extremely perfect.
Regardless of whether Cao Cao was defeated with less or more, Cao Cao's vitality was severely damaged.
Then, when you are in a desperate situation, you can save the building from falling and pull yourself up from the desperate situation.
To occupy Jingzhou, pacify the clan, and win back the hearts of the people, from top to bottom.
The plan was to defeat Cao Cao and make his emperor and ministers alienated from their moral integrity and unable to go south, which relieved internal and external troubles and gave him a little more breathing space.
He also defeated Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, completely occupied Jingzhou, and supported hundreds of thousands of troops.
Now Zhuge Liang is asked to go to the alliance with Jiangdong, write letters to alienate Xiliang Ma Chao, and ask him to bring trouble to Cao Cao.
Then to the battlefield and Chibi, Cao Cao lost his natural location.
Any step would be enough to shock the world.
He is even the best in the world, and no one can surpass him.
If you don't follow his strategy, even the slightest mistake will be fatal.
Liu Bei believed that there was no other person in the world who could do all this better.
Such a genius actually said that Zhuge Liang was ten times more talented than him?
Then how evil can Zhuge Liang be?
To be honest, Liu Bei actually didn't believe it in his heart.
Zhuge Wolong may indeed be talented.
But without witnessing it with his own eyes, Liu Bei would not feel that he was stronger than Zhuge Ming no matter what.
After all, this journey has led to where we are today.
All are due to Zhuge Ming's own efforts.
Even apart from his position as a lord, he has no other merit in it.
The soldiers also showed great respect to Zhuge Ming.
In this case, Liu Bei would not believe that Zhuge Ming could be weaker than Wolong even if he beat him to death.
but no matter.
Since the military advisors all praised Zhuge Liang, he definitely had real materials.
The two most powerful monsters of the Zhuge clan are under his command.
Why worry about great achievements being difficult to achieve?
The tension in Liu Bei's heart dissipated, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
It seems that I have seen a beautiful blueprint for the future, and it is getting closer and closer to me.
……
On the river, a small boat sent Zhuge into the firewood.
Zhuge Liang, holding a feather fan in his hand, wearing a silk scarf on his head, a cloth robe with a girdle, and green shoes, went straight to Wuhou Palace.
"Second brother! It's you!"
As soon as I arrived not far from the palace gate, I heard someone shouting in the distance while walking towards this side.
"Big brother, little brother Zhuge Liang pays homage to my brother!"
Zhuge Liang followed the sound and saw a man who had just walked out of Wuhou Palace. He was dressed luxuriously and had a ring around his waist. He was high-spirited. It was his eldest brother Zhuge Jin!
Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"Brother is coming to Jiangdong. Why don't you tell me beforehand so that I can send someone to pick you up? You and I haven't seen each other for months, and I miss you too!"
Zhuge Jin was greatly surprised. He did not expect that Zhuge Wolong, who had been living in seclusion in Nanjun, suddenly came to Jiangdong!
"Liang came to Jiangdong to do official business. Although he misses his eldest brother, it is a private matter. Liang does not dare to abandon his official duties for personal reasons. After visiting Wu Hou, he is looking for his eldest brother to reminisce about the past."
Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted again, and spoke slowly.
"Kong Ming, you have been living in seclusion for many years and have no responsibilities. How can you do official work? If you want to surrender to my lord and seek a future, I will introduce you personally. It will be much smoother than if you recommend yourself."
Zhuge Jin was displeased, thinking that his brother was too narrow-minded, and Jingzhou was destroyed and occupied by Liu Bei.He can't stand his ground and wants to seek refuge in Jiangdong, but he doesn't want me to do this to recommend talents!
"I am now serving in Uncle Liu's military advisor's office. Now that I am here in Jiangdong, I am also sent by the emperor's uncle as a military advisor. Liang does not dare to abandon public service for personal reasons!"
"Since my brother is here, please lead me into the palace to pay a visit to your lord."
Zhuge Liang said seriously, without any of the warmth he felt when reminiscing about the past.
"what!"
"You have become Liu Bei's staff, but you are not yet a military advisor. You still need to abide by the military advisor's assignments! Brother, you are Wolong!"
Zhuge Jin was shocked. He didn't expect that Zhuge Wolong, the most famous member of the Zhuge family, would be willing to become Liu Bei's secret servant!
"I will take you to see my lord first. After the official business is over, you and I will have a long talk."
Zhuge Jin was shocked and saw that Zhuge Liang was as calm as a mountain and his expression remained unchanged. He quickly gathered his mind and walked ahead to lead Kong Ming into the palace.
"My lord, my younger brother Zhuge Kongming came here to pay homage to my lord."
After Zhuge Jin saluted, he led Zhuge Liang to Sun Quan, bowed and retreated.
"Oh!"
"Are you Zhuge Kongming?"
Sun Quan, with his curly beard and blue eyes, looked majestic. He turned back to look at Zhuge Liang and asked in surprise.
"Zhuge Liang came here to pay homage to the Marquis of Wu on the orders of Zhuge Wende, our military advisor, and to send greetings to the Marquis of Wu on behalf of our military advisor and my lord."
Kong Ming was not afraid at all when facing Sun Quan, he faced it calmly and calmly.
"Zhuge Wende? Who is he?"
Sun Quan asked blankly.
Although he has been in Jiangdong for a long time, Jiangdong's scouts are all over the world. There are people from Jiangdong in Xuchang, Jingzhou, and even Xiliang and Liaodong.
Sun Quan knew all the information from all over the world.
But this was the first time he had heard of Zhuge Wende.
"Zhuge Wende, my brother is the same! When Liang was young, I inherited his upbringing and teachings."
Zhuge Liang was in awe when he mentioned Zhuge Ming!
"Could he be the Zhuge military advisor who plotted against Jingxiang and defeated Cao's thieves?"
Sun Quan became more and more surprised. Although rumors were spreading, he privately believed that there was no one other than Zhuge Wolong who could help Liu Bei decide Jingzhou!
Until today, we know that all this was not Zhuge Wolong's fault, but Zhuge Wende's strategizing.
"Yes, the recapture of the nine counties of Jingxiang was all done by my brother Zhuge Wende!"
“Including Changsha!”
Zhuge Liang said proudly, calmly.At this moment, in Jingzhou, the army is at its peak and morale is like a rainbow.It is enough to compete with Jiangdong.
He came here to be a guest, strategize, and change his past look that was looked down upon by Jiangdong!
……
When Sun Quan heard this, his color suddenly changed, he stood up and went straight into the back hall.
But Zhuge Liang looked calm and stood there calmly, unmoved at all.
"The prince's expression is different and unusual. Is there something wrong?"
In the back hall, Mrs. Bu, trainer Bu, asked warmly while holding a bowl of tea.
"Zhuge Kongming, you bullied me too much!"
"I will give the order tomorrow. Zhu Gongjin will immediately send troops to attack Changsha first and then Xiangyang!"
Sun Quan was still angry, sat on a chair, slapped the table and said.
"The prince, please calm down. If this is the case, my land east of Jiangdong may be in danger!"
Mrs. Bu hurriedly put the tea bowl on the table and knelt down in front of Sun Quan.
"In the past, Jing once told the princes, and I also listened quietly. Now that Cao's thieves are powerful, our family, Sun and Liu, can only survive this disaster by joining forces to fight against Cao. If the princes and princes' spirits are at odds, they will raise an army to attack Jingzhou is taking advantage of Cao Cao's wishes, I'm afraid Jingzhou Jiangdong will be destroyed by Cao Cao sooner or later!"
Although Mrs. Bu was a female, she was insightful and calm-minded. Sun Quan relied on her very much and loved her very much.
"It was for the alliance between Sun and Liu that Gong Jin gave up the land of Changsha to Liu Da'er. Even the money and food for Changsha's soldiers, horses, and horses were sealed and handed over to them! Unexpectedly, Zhuge Pifu today, instead Insult me one after another!"
Sun Quan was so angry that he broke a corner of the table with a bang, and the tea bowl on the table also rolled to the ground.
"A prince, a little impatience will ruin a big plan! In the past, when Liu Bei was weak, didn't the prince never look at him seriously? What's more, what happened in Changsha is also a fact. Although Kong Ming was disrespectful, he was not fabricated out of thin air..."
"If the prince doesn't want to say anything, you can ask him to come back tomorrow to meet with our Jiangdong ministers and discuss it later."
Mrs. Bu smiled and spoke warmly, and Sun Quan's anger gradually subsided.
"If a man has a good wife, he should not do anything bad! If it weren't for my wife, I would have been so close to causing a catastrophe today and handing over the inheritance of my ancestors to the thief Cao!"
Sun Quan stood up and held Madam Bu's hand tightly, with a grateful look on his face.
"Mr. Kong Ming is still waiting outside. The prince must not lose his etiquette!"
Mrs. Bu bowed and went into the inner hall.
"Mr. Kong Ming, I am slightly ill. I am waiting for you today. Please rest for now and see you here the next morning."
Sun Quan came out and saw Kong Ming looking relaxed and still standing there without moving at all, so he pretended to be apologetic and said with a smile.
"In this case, Liang will leave for the time being and come back to visit the princes the next day."
Kong Ming did not insist on talking too much to avoid giving Sun Quan the illusion of rushing to seek alliance cooperation.So he bowed, bowed and left.
……
The next day.
The wind and sunshine are beautiful, and the land of Jiangdong is even warmer and pleasant.
The two corridors of Wuhou Palace are filled with all kinds of exotic flowers. Walking through them is like walking in a royal garden.
Kong Ming, wearing a feather fan and silk scarf, looked up and entered. Although he was only one person, his momentum was like a rainbow and he showed no fear.
Arriving at the main hall, Jiangdong civil servants were all present.
On the left side, Zhang Zhao is the first, followed by Zhu Ran, Gu Yong, and Kan Ze.
On the right side, Zhang Hong is at the head, followed by Zhuge Jin and Kan Ze. Under Kan Ze, it was originally Lu Ji, but Lu Ji falsely promised to surrender to Cao Cao and was beheaded by Zhou Yu. The person who filled this position at this time was Bu Zhi, Bu Zhi and Bu Zhi. Zha's sister is Sun Quan's beloved concubine Bu Lianshi.
Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others saw Zhuge Liang's leisurely expression and calm steps without any confusion, and they all felt fear in their hearts!
This man is Zhuge Wende’s younger brother! !
