One night can change many things, can also change many people, maybe some people think that they will never change, but the world is impermanent, maybe you will change in one night, just like Cao Mengde now. If he was a monarch, he would have become a tyrant now, and he knew what he was going to do in the future, he would rather go against the will of the world, and he would do it to the end, not afraid of bearing the accusations of history.

The three of them discussed the specific details of the night, and finally, at dawn, Cao Mengde and Sima Yi said goodbye to Zhuge Liang, and the two of them rode horses and disappeared into the morning sun, leaving Zhuge Liang himself still standing at the door, looking at the sky and saying lightly: "I hope everything goes well this time." ”

Shi Fu in mid-air pursed his lips, of course, he pouted his lips and said: "If everything goes well, there will be ghosts, you look like this, you are obviously targeted by fate, you didn't discuss it, my previous life was too sad." ”

The words are divided into two ends, Sima Yi and Cao Mengde traveled day and night, and finally rushed back to the capital of Lu Guo on the seventh day, the civil and military officials saw that Cao Mengde was back, and the hanging heart was finally put down, but the good times did not last long, on the second day of Cao Mengde's return, the civil and military officials received bad news, and the Lu State wanted to pour the strength of a country to fight a decisive battle with the Dragon Kingdom.

The hundred officials rushed to the gate of the palace as soon as they received the news, ready to meet Cao Mengde and ask him to take back his life, but Cao Mengde closed the door and disappeared, and all the officials were blocked out of the palace gate.

Just when everyone was in a mess, a white horse came running from a distance, and Sima Yi rode on the horse to the officials and said: "The lord of the country has an order, don't discuss the court today, and you can go back." ”

A person flashed out of the crowd, walked up to Sima Yima, and asked, "I wonder if Sima Junshi knows the intention of the lord of the country?"

Sima Yi glanced at the person in front of the horse and said, "It turned out to be Guo Sima, how can we guess the intention of the lord of the country?"

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and didn't ask any more, originally the relationship between the two was very good, but today Sima Yi's way of speaking was unusually tough, which made Guo Jia's heart tighten, and he said in his heart, "Is there something wrong?"

When the officials saw that Guo Jia was deflated, it was not easy to gather again, so they had to disperse, and Sima Yi also rode back to his house.

As soon as he arrived at the house, someone behind him asked, "Brother Sima, what happened?"

Sima Yi turned around and saw Guo Jia walking into the mansion, did not answer, but walked straight to him, grabbed him and led him to the meeting hall in the backyard, closed the door and said softly: "Brother Guo, you can come to explain that there are some speculations in your heart, and I won't hide it from you, if the lord continues to carry out a conservative strategy, Lu Guo will have three years of national fortune, and Lu Guo will no longer exist after three years." ”

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Where did you get this news, it's ridiculous." ”

Sima Yi said: "Brother Guo must not believe it, the Wind Country is a lesson from the past, and the only way now is to break the cauldron and fight a battle with the Dragon Kingdom." ”

Guo Jia said: "Isn't that hitting a stone with an egg?"

Sima Yi poured a cup of fragrant tea for Guo Jia and continued: "That's right, it is to hit the stone with an egg, this battle will be lost, but the lord of the country must retreat." ”

Guo Jia smashed the teacup to the ground and said angrily: "Isn't this making the lord of the country the villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "This is also a helpless move, it must be like this to have a glimmer of life in the land country." After finishing speaking, he explained everything before to Guo Jia.

Why did Sima Yi tell Guo Jia, the reason is very simple, Guo Jia is also a powerful person, if Cao Mengde wants to revolt in the future, Guo Jia's wisdom will be necessary, so he told Guo Jia what happened, just hoping that he could understand the deeper intention of this, and then help Cao Mengde make a comeback.

After Guo Jia listened to the whole process, he pondered for a while and asked, "Could this Prime Minister of the Dragon Kingdom be using tricks to force us to comply?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Prime Minister Zhuge is my junior brother, although he is the prime minister of the Dragon Kingdom, he cares about the people, and he doesn't want a sinister villain like Liu Xuande to sit in the country, so his words are credible." ”

Guo Jia lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since Brother Sima believes in him, then I won't go to the lord of the country to give advice, I hope this Zhuge Liang is not miscalculated." ”

Sima Yi nodded and said, "Brother Guo, don't worry, in the future, the lord of the country will revolt, and you will have to rely on you, Brother Guo." ”

Guo Jia waved his hand and said: "It is my Guo Jia's glory to be able to follow the lord of the country to fight, Brother Sima, don't worry." ”

The two chatted for a while, Guo Jia got up to say goodbye, Sima Yi sent him out of the mansion, and everything was calm again.

Half a month later, 800,000 troops were gathered outside the capital of the land country, Cao Mengde stood on the city gate and looked at the soldiers like a tide, his heart was dripping blood, these people were going to die, although he knew it, but he had to do it.

After a moment of silence, Cao Mengde shouted, "Can the soldiers be afraid of life and death?"

A deafening voice came from under the city: "Don't be afraid"

Cao Mengde shouted again: "Soldiers, now is the time of life and death for my land country, I know that you all have families, brothers and sisters, and children and descendants, but you are warriors, and what is the mission of warriors, that is, to protect your family and defend the country, and use our flesh and blood to build an impregnable wall." ”

After being silent for a while, Cao Mengde continued to shout: "If we tolerate it, then more of your family members will be slaughtered by the enemy, then you are still bloody men, then you are still soldiers who defend the country." ”

All the soldiers in the city frowned angrily, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble, this is not fear, this is a monstrous war will, this is the excitement before the battle begins, maybe they won't even have names in history, but they can fight to protect their families and friends, even if future generations will not know who they are, but they will always exist in history.

Cao Mengde stood on the city and looked at the soldiers under the city, although he couldn't see the whole picture, but he remembered all the faces of the soldiers that he could see clearly from the nearest to him, and then he said: " Soldiers, maybe the destination of your trip is Huangquan, maybe you will leave your relatives and friends forever, but what you do will be remembered by the world, and your relatives and friends will also be saved because of your struggle, remember, you will always be the warriors of the land country, you will always be the strongest people in the world, and you will always be my brother Cao Mengde. After speaking, he picked up a wine bowl from the guard beside him and continued: "Soldiers, I Cao Mengde salute you a glass, may you win, if you unfortunately die in battle, then reincarnate and live a new life, my soldiers are not afraid of life and death, only a battle." ”

All the soldiers in the city raised their glasses and shouted an earth-shattering slogan: "Not afraid of life and death, only seek a battle...... Not afraid of life and death, only seeking a battle. ”

Cao Mengde stood on top of the city tower, held up the wine bowl and drank it all, the soldiers under the city followed to drink, and smashed all the bowls after the wine was exhausted, Cao Mengde drank all the bowls, and shouted: "Go!" 800,000 troops set off to punish Liu.

Looking at the Dragon Kingdom, after Liu Xuande got the news that Lu Guo sent troops, he smiled and said: "I thought that this Cao Mengde was a Ming Jun, hmph, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that, and he actually did this joke of hitting a stone with an egg." ”

Zhuge Liang said under the court: "Weichen thinks that Your Majesty, we still have to be careful, although the other party is a battle of trapped beasts, we should not take it lightly." ”

Liu Xuande nodded and said, "What the prime minister said is very true. After speaking, he said to the servants beside him: "Pass my order, recruit Yunchang, Yide, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun to come." "The slave order went down to pass on, and only Liu Xuande and Zhuge Liang were left in the court.

Liu Xuande said: "Prime Minister, if our army sends three million troops, is it not considered a light enemy?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment and said: "Of course it doesn't count, it's enough to crush the enemy army." ”

Liu Xuande smiled and didn't speak again, the two of them were silent, waiting for about two sticks of incense, and the servant entered the court with the four generals.

The four of them knelt down to see Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande waved his hand and said, 'Get up', the four of them stood up, walked behind Zhuge Liang, and waited for Liu Xuande's orders.

Liu Xuande saw that everyone was together and said: "Yun Chang, you lead 600,000 horses to defend the national capital, Yide, you lead 800,000 horses to meet the enemy head-on in the 'Falling Tiger City', Zhao Yun, you and Ma Chao each bring 700,000 horses to outflank from the two wings." The four of them took the order and walked out of the court.

Liu Xuande smiled and said to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, you can see if this arrangement is appropriate." ”

Zhuge Liang also smiled: "Your Majesty has made careful arrangements, it seems that Cao Mengde will inevitably fail this time, and Weichen congratulates Your Majesty in advance to unify the country." ”

Liu Xuande's smile became brighter and brighter, and he continued: "Prime Minister, in fact, there is still one step left, you take 200,000 people to set off in advance, ambush behind Cao Mengde, if he retreats, stop me." ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly and said: "Weichen has the order, let's do it." After speaking, he also left the court.

Liu Xuande, who was above the court, smiled gloomily and ordered the servant: "Go and recruit Wei Yan." ”

After a while, Wei Yan came, and Liu Xuande ordered: "Wei Yan, you take a team of 100 people and go to the capital of Lu Guo overnight, and 'invite' Cao Mengde's family to come over for me." ”

Wei Yan bowed his hand to the order, turned around and went out, without saying a word during the process.

Liu Xuande said softly: "In this way, there is absolutely no possibility of defeat, hahaha." After finishing speaking, he turned a sinister face, gritted his teeth and said: "When they are all finished, it will be yours, Zhuge Liang ......." ”
