The fire in Xinyang City was out of control, and the fire had covered almost the entire Xinyang City. Even so, Ma Chao still did not stop continuing to attack.

"Throw Ben over, burn it, burn it all! Ahaha! Ma Chao was born with violent blood, and when he saw the fire burning the city, he actually laughed excitedly.

Liu Jun obeyed orders, obeyed commands, and constantly did what Ma Chao said.

Xinyang City is afraid that it is going to be finished.

"What can I do to keep Xinyang City?" Xu Huang's heart kept asking himself.

Xu Huang, who was dragging the sick body, already looked a little heroic at the end of the road under the stabbing blow of the fire. Xu Huang knew that Xinyang City was lost, so Liu Jun could drive straight into Ruyin for a long time.

When he couldn't hold on, Xu Huang had no choice but to give up Xinyang City and said loudly: "Withdraw!" Give up Xinyang City! ”

The soldiers of Cao Jun immediately gave up fighting the fire, they were also fed up, and many brothers were engulfed in the fire while fighting the fire, giving away their precious lives in vain.

Xu Huang made the right decision, wasting time here, it was better to keep the living force, retreat to the new city, and continue to hold on. Cao's army directly abandoned Xinyang City and retreated from the area where Xinyang City was not on fire. Because of the blockage of the fire, it was in vain for Liu Jun to want to pursue, unless they risked their lives to step through the fire and chase the past, otherwise, they could only watch Xu Huang and them escape.

But these are indifferent to the generals of Liu Jun. Especially a heartless general like Ma Chao, he waited for the fire to go out.

When the fire was a little smaller, Ma Chao also found that there were no more living Cao Jun in Xinyang City.

Liu Jun bypassed Xinyang City, which had become a white land, and continued to advance.

Why didn't Liu Jun take advantage of Xu Huang's escape and make a detour to pursue him? Zhao Yun made the same suggestion to Huang Zhong at that time, while Pang Tong opposed it. What Pang Tong wanted was for Cao's army to flee to a new city, and what he wanted was for this defeated army to continue to resist.

Pang Tong's meaning is obvious, he just wants these defeated troops to continue to be afraid, so that they think that Liu Jun can destroy Xinyang City, which means that Liu Jun can also destroy other cities. In this way, the next siege battle will be much easier. Some conscientious defenders will choose to surrender the city because of their concern for the survival of the city. As long as this wind blows, then the battle situation in Yuzhou will become much easier.

Huang Zhong decisively followed Pang Tong's advice.

Only then did Zhao Yun know that Pang Tong was powerful, and he could give full play to the advantages that were beneficial to his side, which was the difference between a strategist and a general.

Looking at Zhao Yun's epiphany eyes, Pang Tong's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he raised his head proudly, and couldn't help but put on a posture that he thought was chic and profound. If it weren't for an ugly face, it would really look like a master of the world.

"Shi Yuan, are you sick, do you want to find a Lang Zhong to see." Huang Zhong also thought that there was something wrong with Pang Tong's neck.

A trace of tears flashed silently in the corners of Pang Tong's eyes, and he was about to scold his parents to death, why did he give birth to such an ugly person.

Unlike Pang Tong's self-destructive image, in Runan City, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were standing on the city wall, which attracted a lot of attention.

Both of them are characters with extraordinary grace and extraordinary temperament, and any such a stop will make others feel a strong and profound temperament.

Especially those big girls and little daughters-in-law, they all stood under the city wall, silently looking at the two handsome guys on the city wall. The two handsome faces, coupled with the slender figure, stand together, in the eyes of a woman, like a beautiful picture. If it is seen by the rotten girls of later generations, I don't know how much it will be obscene.

Sima Yi silently said to Zhuge Liang next to him: "I said Kong Ming." You follow me all the way to Runan. At first, it was said that it was the same way, and that was no problem. But they have all arrived in Runan, why haven't they returned to Lujiang for a long time? ”

Zhuge Liang followed Sima Yi all the way, and Sima Yi didn't want Zhuge Liang to follow. But Zhuge Liang said that he was walking on the same road, and Sima Yi couldn't say anything. But when he arrived in Runan, Zhuge Liang seemed to be relying on Runan, eating and drinking with Sima Yi's money, which was called the friendship of the landlord, so that Sima Yi really wanted to beat Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan, touched his mustache casually, and said with a smile: "Zhongda, do you have any secrets that you are afraid of knowing." Isn't it just that if you stay in Runan City for a long time, you will have an opinion! It's not like a gentleman's doing. Besides, it doesn't get in your way. Why should you do that? ”

"Military affairs are important, you are the commander of a group of soldiers and horses, and I am also kind enough to remind you, so as not to delay the military aircraft and miss His Majesty's major affairs." Sima Yi is really a little convinced of Zhuge Liang's cheekiness.

"I won't delay the military plane, and I will make arrangements for it a long time ago." Zhuge Liang said confidently.

Pretend! What a fucking pretend!

Zhuge Liang pretended to be used to it, and his every move revealed his compulsion. I don't know if others can't get used to it. Of course, I can't get used to seeing a small number of people, and I don't know how many people like Zhuge Liang to pretend to be forced. No, just look at the women downstairs in the city. Faced with such a situation, Zhuge Liang involuntarily stroked his hair, causing more autumn spinach.

It's really troublesome to be handsome.

"Zhongda, such a beautiful day, why don't you and I talk about wine here? Isn't it beautiful? Zhuge Liang looked at the scenery of Runan City and couldn't help but be interested.

"Kong Ming, you're not kidding, are you?" Sima Yi almost didn't fall off the city wall, in such a situation, Zhuge Liang still has the leisure to drink and talk about it?

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Zhongda won't even have this little time, Zhongda is very idle in Xiaguan, so there is this proposal, if Zhongda feels that he is wrong in Xia, then it is another matter." ”

The corners of Sima Yi's mouth twitched, he had never seen Zhuge Liang so shameless.

But Sima Yi's mind suddenly flashed with a spiritual light, things must be reversed, Zhuge Liang said so much nonsense, it seems that there is something important to talk to him privately.

"Since Kong Ming is interested, he is naturally accompanied by him. When someone comes to prepare wine and food, the official wants to talk with Zhuge Junshi. Sima Yi immediately gave orders to his subordinates.

Zhuge Liang smiled, it seemed that Sima Yi had finally figured it out. I have done so many things, how worried I am that Sima Yi has not understood, how difficult it is.

Sima Yi's men immediately prepared tables and chairs for wine and food in the city gate tower, and Sima Yi stretched out his hand to invite Zhuge Liang to sit at the table.

"You all go down, don't disturb me and Zhuge Junshi's interest." Sima Yi said quietly.

The subordinates all went down one after another, in Runan, Sima Yi is the boss, who dares not to listen to his words.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi took their seats, and the two drank a glass of wine.

As soon as Zhuge Liang drank the wine in the glass, he immediately exclaimed: "Luo Bingquan! It's good wine. The Sima family is really wealthy, Zhongda, you can usually drink such fine wine, which is really enviable. ”

"Kong Ming, don't sell it, if you have something to say, just say it, why do you make so many twists and turns? Isn't it enough for you to tease me? "Sima Yi didn't want to be teased by Zhuge Liang.

"Where is it, Zhongda, you misunderstood." Zhuge Liang continued to pretend.

"Okay, since there's nothing to do, you can eat and drink more, and after eating and drinking, you can go back to Lujiang." If it weren't for the need to maintain the image of a literati, Sima Yi would have wanted to scold.

Zhuge Liang smiled and drank an extra glass of wine, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Zhongda thinks about Yuzhou?" How's that going about Shouchun? ”

Finally got to the point, Sima Yi was finally in a better mood, and said: "Cao Cao can't resist our army, and it is a sure thing that Yuzhou will return to the rule of the imperial court. ”

"What about Shouchun?" Zhuge Liang said meaningfully.

Sima Yi's eyes narrowed and said, "You mean Liu Xie?" ”

Sima Yi directly called Liu Xie's name, which shows that in his heart, Liu Xie has no status at all.

"Yes, yes." Zhuge Liang nodded and continued: "Your Majesty has issued an order to ensure that Liu Xiezhi is thorough. In my opinion, this matter is really troublesome. ”

In Zhuge Liang's heart, after breaking Shouchun, Liu Xie should not continue to live, because if Liu Xie does not die for a day, it will bury hidden dangers for the Shenwu Imperial Court.

"Your Majesty and Liu Xie have a deep brotherly relationship, and it is reasonable to have this will." Sima Yi didn't know what Zhuge Liang meant, and he didn't want Liu Xie to live.

Zhuge Liang said directly to the point: "Zhongda, Liu Xie is the emperor before His Majesty. There are quite a few objections to the theory of reunification in the world. Before Cao Mengde seized Yuzhou, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and His Majesty proclaimed himself emperor in order to protect himself. Now if Shouchun breaks through, there will be no two days on this day, and there will be no two masters for the people, if Your Majesty refuses to hurt Liu Xie, there will be a great hidden danger to my court. As everyone knows, there are two-minded people in the world, such as carp crossing the river, and I don't know which day the world will be in turmoil again. I really don't want to see the devastation of life happen. ”

"As a minister, I inherit the mandate of heaven. Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, and we can only do what we are told. Just be yourself. Sima Yi was very cautious, he didn't dare to take Zhuge Liang's words casually.

"Don't you want to set things right?" Zhuge Liang asked tentatively.

"How easy is it to say?" Sima Yi said softly. "Kong Ming, do you have any crooked ideas?"

"Zhongda is really discerning. I heard that Zhongda's brother Sima Boda was in Shouchun. Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"You won't let my Sima family carry this black cauldron." Sima Yi's face darkened, Zhuge Liang, this guy is really not a good thing.

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "Zhongda, you misunderstood. In the following, I heard that Sima's family was full of loyalty. I was deceived by the adulterer before and did something against my heart. Now he has repented and tried to return to justice. Having said so much in the following, Zhongda should know what he means. ”

"In the middle of Shouchun, even if my brother has a heart, he can't do it." Sima Yi didn't want to die of talking.

Zhuge Liang reminded: "It is natural for Brother Ling's small position to be out of his reach, so it is naturally normal. However, in Shouchun City, the former Luoyang Gonggong Princes are still there, why didn't Zhongda let Brother Ling move around? ”

Got it! Sima Yi now understands. Isn't it just for Sima Lang to instigate other old bureaucrats who want to betray Liu Xie, in this case, it has nothing to do with Liu Jun's side at all. As for whether Sima's family will be discovered, Sima Yi is a hundred reassuring. Sima Lang's ability is not much different from himself, destroying corpses and destroying traces, killing people and destroying people, of course he knows how to do it.

"Hearing Kong Ming's words, it is like an initiation. In the next brother, he has long had the heart to return to justice. Now that Wang Shi will arrive in Shouchun in a few days, it is the best time. I will repair a book, let my brother move around for a moment or two, and contribute to Wang Shi's victory over Shouchun. Sima Yi said.

"If this is the case, it is the luck of the world, the happiness of the country, and the luck of the people." Zhuge Liang said a lot of beautiful words.

"Kong Ming, you and I are both understanding people, so you don't need to say such useless words." Sima Yi didn't like Zhuge Liang's beautiful words. "This matter must be kept secret, if His Majesty knows about it, the Sima family will be in danger. But then again, my Sima family takes the risk, and you Zhuge Liang has nothing to do, this matter still needs to be considered. ”

Zhuge Liang's smile stopped, his full calculation was actually seen through by Sima Yi, which was a little embarrassing.

Originally, Zhuge Liang planned to let Sima Yi's family take risks and hide behind his back to be a good person. Moreover, Sima Yi will also have a handle in his own hands in the future, which will play a vital role in the future government. It's a pity that Sima Yi is not stupid, and he thought of it all at once.

"Looks like I'm right. Zhuge Villager's guy is very cunning. Sima Yi said secretly in his heart.

"Zhong Da can rest assured, how can I, Zhuge Kongming, be alone. The army of more than 100,000 in Lujiang is Brother Ling's help. You and I joined forces together, just to break through Shouchun. Zhuge Liang could only put himself in.

"In this way, there is a lot to be done. If my brother achieves meritorious deeds, then my Sima family should remember Kong Ming's kindness. Sima Yi immediately agreed to Zhuge Liang, everyone will say beautiful things, Sima Yi is also a clever person.

In fact, if it weren't for Sima Yi's brother, who was quite trusted by Cao Cao in Shouchun, he could do something that others couldn't do. Zhuge Liang would not have come to talk to Sima Yi so much.

"Liu Xie must die!" Zhuge Liang started from the overall situation and knew that Liu Xie must be made to disappear.

And Liu Yu takes into account brotherhood and is soft-hearted, and they, as courtiers, naturally share their worries for the Lord.

Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang drank a cup again, to be able to clear the hidden dangers for His Majesty today, and to be able to take himself out and keep himself and his family safe, is what a wise man should do. As for those who do it themselves, who will care if they live or die. They can only bear Liu Yu's anger.

I just don't know, among Shouchun, who will be such a fool?
