Chapter 322
"This is absolutely impossible!" Huan Fan yelled, and gave him a cold look, "Sima Zhongda himself is superb in martial arts, and the city is densely guarded and fortified everywhere. The dead soldiers you choose will never get close to him! You injured him for a while, as long as he recovers and seizes this opportunity to counterattack violently, how can you survive? How can the great Wei survive for a long time? Let the old man think about it carefully."

Just as Cao Shuang was about to refute, Xia Houxuan said, "Uncle Zhao (Cao Shuang's word is "Zhaobo"), what Uncle Huan said is very true—the last time Zhuge Liang sent such a deadly soldier, didn't they also not hurt Sima Yi at all? We can't do it with this trick!"

"This..." Cao Shuang suddenly became speechless.

Huan Fan didn't seem to pay attention to all of this, he just buried his head and kept walking and thinking, and he didn't know how many circles he walked in the study, Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan, and Huan Chang were all drowsy after waiting. , he suddenly cheered and said: "Yes! Yes! The old man finally came up with a plan!"

"What strategy?" Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan, Huan Chang and others couldn't help asking after their spirits lifted.

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict immediately to forcibly recruit Liaodong Taishou and Le Langgong Gongsun Yuan to Beijing to serve as the Taiwei, and order Youzhou Governor Wuqiu Jian to force his troops to the border. Wu Qiujian is His Majesty's old official of the Eastern Palace. This matter He should do it..." Huan Fan stared at the three of them with wide and bright eyes.

"This... isn't this clearly trying to force Gongsun Yuan back?" Xia Houxuan was startled.

"It is to force him, Gongsun Yuan, to rebel!" Huan Fan's eyes were burning like flames, "I have always understood Sima Zhongda's style of conduct, and he likes to be rigorous, careful, and foolproof. This is his The greatest advantage, but at the same time, this is also his weakness. His overall plan at the moment is already airtight, and it is extremely difficult for us to break it from the inside! Therefore, we just want to find another way, beggar-thy-neighbor, and create external Contradictions, temporarily diverting Sima's overwhelming pressure..."

"This... Doing so will harm me, Great Wei!" Cao Shuang said worryingly.

Huan Fan slowly sat back on his seat, his face was submerged in the reflection of the lamp stand, only his eyes were still shining brightly in the darkness: "Well...Gongsun Yuan was forced to rebel, of course it has something to do with me, Great Wei. It's not good, but it's also bad for the Sima family! Since Sima Yi has regarded Wei as his possession, according to his personality, he will never allow Gongsun Yuan to get involved! After knowing the news of Gongsun Yuan's rebellion, he could only temporarily suppress his ambition to usurp Wei Zili, and took out his hands to go on an expedition to sweep Liaodong... In this way, Dong Zhao, Cui Lin, Gao Rou, Wang Su and others The matter of persuading the Prime Minister of Jiuxi to join the Jin Dynasty must be 'grounded'."

"High! High! High! What a brilliant move to disrupt chaos!" Xia Houxuan understood at this time, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Huan Fan with infinite admiration. It's spicy!

Cao Shuang praised with a smile: "Uncle Huan's action is really extraordinary!"

Huan Fan's expression returned to being as calm as water at this moment, he frowned, and sighed deeply: "Alas...this strategy is not a brilliant move. It treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it is just an expedient measure to delay for a while... ...Where is Gongsun Yuan's opponent to Sima Zhongda? After Sima Yi triumphantly wins over Liaodong's great honor, I'm afraid that will be the real beginning of our Great Wei Kingdom's entry into danger..."

"Anyway, the catastrophe in front of me has finally been resolved." Cao Shuang stood up with ease, and looked at Huan Fan with admiration, "After returning to the palace, Shuang and Taichu (Xia Houxuan's words) I suggest that His Majesty appoint you as General Cheqi and Lieutenant Sili. Uncle Huan, Nephew Yu and others should have come to you for help earlier!"

Huan Fan also patted the dust on the corner of his robe, stood up, with an indifferent expression, and said slowly: "I am afraid that you all thought that the old man has a sharp personality and is not easy to get in touch with, so you treat the old man Keep it at arm’s length, right? Saying these words now is superfluous... This old man was born as a minister of the Great Wei, and died as a ghost of the Great Wei. I am determined to carry the word "loyalty" to the end! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to fulfill the important task he entrusted to me. Can, and strive to achieve success in the end!"

When he said this, both Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan's cheeks felt hot, and the embarrassment between their eyebrows was completely revealed.However, Huan Fan didn't seem to notice their expressions, and continued to speak on his own: "Most of the military power in the world has fallen into the hands of Sima, but fortunately, the power of grain has not attracted their attention... Since the old man really wants to choose a suitable position to assist the imperial court, why not ask His Majesty to let the old man take up the post of chief minister! As long as His Majesty holds the military and civilian granaries of all states and counties in the world, it is equivalent to choking the princes of the four directions. Rice bags and lifeblood! They have no food in their hands, so how can they fight against Sima Yi?"

Zhuge Liang's Legacy
The moon on August 13th is round and big, hanging in the air like a jade plate.The sandy beach by the Wei River is covered with a layer of bright, shallow silver glow, which extends to the end of the night like a white satin.Everything seems to have returned to that autumn night by the Changning River in Jingzhou in the [-]th year of Jian'an.Everything is as clear as a dream emerges.

A brilliant white light danced on the surface of the river, gradually blurring Sima Yi's eyes.Zhuge Liang's majestic back looks even more embossed against the backdrop of the moonlight.At this moment, he is playing the piano slowly with his back to Sima Yi.

The sound of the piano is pure and light, as if it is another kind of moving chapter written with invisible pen and ink.In an instant, Sima Yi seemed to have returned to his youth when he was studying in Linglong Valley. All the grand, subtle, high-spirited, and tactful voices were just born in the dark night, coming to his face with newborn sobriety and innocence, lingering , delicate fragrance tenderly.The fish jumping under the moonlight, the bell ringing in the distant mountains, the flat and wide river, the soft wind blowing through the green mountains, a wild duck hatched out of the grass, and the fox under the rock wall is howling up to the sky... Zhuge Liang's fingers playing the qin are nimble and light, like two white cranes flying with spread wings. The body of the qin is a sea of ​​fragrant flowers, and the seven strings are the fragrance of flowers that keep coming in waves.Although the sound of music and the fragrance of flowers are invisible and colorless, they are both a door that can penetrate into the depths of the soul, where they circle back and forth.Sima Yi relaxed and listened quietly, the door opened slowly, and the sunlight flowed in like water, and the smile of the "her" who was dreaming was gradually drifting closer... A string of coldness slipped down his cheek quietly. , That was his clear tears.

With the sound of "Zheng", the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.Sima Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately returned to the real reality.He couldn't help sighing: "Excellent piano skills! It's really a beautiful sound! I'm afraid Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin's seven-string skill was unmatched in those days, right?"

Zhuge Liang sat quietly on the bamboo mat for a while, then slowly turned around and stared at him, as kind and natural as looking at an old friend who has known each other for many years.Although the two of them had fought twice in Guanzhong, they were usually the soldiers of the two of them, and they would go to and fro in the future. The chances of the two of them to meet in front of the battle were pitifully rare—even if they met, they were just They are just looking at each other from afar across the battlefield, never walking so close today.

He slowly raised the goose feather fan and flapped it, and said leisurely: "Sima Jun, after so many years, you are still as handsome as ever, so gratifying and enviable!" He coughed heavily.

Sima Yi still looked at him quietly, and said softly: "Kong Ming, you should pay more attention to your body!" In that warm voice, there was an inexplicable kindness and concern.

Zhuge Liang waved his hand, suppressed a trace of pain on his face, slowly took out an object from the skirt of his clothes, and held it in his palm.When Sima Yi saw it, his heart skipped a beat.But he saw that it was the tile of the Weiyang Palace of the Western Han Dynasty that he had given him in a wooden boat on Shenbi Lake in Jingzhou more than 20 years ago!The Yinglong decoration on it is still so vivid!He hesitated for a moment, and softly chanted: "The yellow paint is hard to stain the red tiles, and the evil intentions will be exhausted. The windshield brushes the clouds to collect the sunrise, and return my true colors to Yan Han! Kong Ming, the poem you wrote back then, is still recited today." It's still clear and clear into the clouds!"

Zhuge Liang's face was calm, and he said lightly: "Zhongda, you may have forgotten that this tile was given to Yu Liang by yourself back then."

Sima Yi's face froze slightly, and he said slowly: "The general trend of the world, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Kong Ming, you are so eager to invite me here, I'm afraid you won't be talking about this debate again!"

"No, no. This tile of the palace of the Han Dynasty came from the water in the past, and now it is better to send it back to the water! I think that you and I don't need to tie it to the body anymore. It is already He should have been buried together with Dr. Kong and Xun Lingjun back then..." Zhuge Liang said in a calm almost indifferent tone, and with a raised hand, he threw the Weiyang Palace tile into the distance with a bang. In the water of the Wei River that was slowly flowing eastward, there were only a few slight ripples and then disappeared...

When Sima Yi saw him, his heart shook slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhuge Liang turned his face and smiled deeply at him: "These days, Liang has been thinking about the story that happened in Yehe County that you told by the Changning River in the 13th year of Jian'an, and it touched Liang a lot. You are right, the contenders at the turn of the world do not depend on famous utensils, etiquette, or power, but on the support of the people! What the common people need most is not famous utensils, orthodox etiquette, but a A portion of food and clothing, a portion of peace, and a portion of freedom. Liang has been tossing around the people in Yizhou for too long, and it is time to end."

Sima Yi's face fluctuated slightly, he did not expect Zhuge Liang's wisdom and tenacity to say such a thing today!So, he pondered for a while, and sighed softly: "But it's not your Zhuge Kongming's style to sit in a corner without thinking or thinking..."

Zhuge Liang gave a long smile: "During the six Northern Expeditions, Liang has done his best. Liang is self-aware, Zhong Da, you have won!"

This passage was like a string of thunderbolts falling from the sky, and Sima Yi was shocked with a "boom"!He stood there in a daze for a long time, and couldn't believe his ears for a while.Finally, he slowly came to his senses, and the circles of his eyes turned red suddenly: "Kong Ming—you..."

Zhuge Liang avoided his gaze, pointed to the long wooden box beside the bamboo mat, gestured to Liu Nuo and Niu Jin, and said, "You two, open this wooden box!"

When the wooden box was opened, a huge scroll was revealed, with a banner about seven or eight feet wide.

Under Sima Yi's surprised and inexplicable eyes, Zhuge Liang gently ordered: "Pull it away."
