Chapter 772: Berning was left in Xinye City
"But I don't know what Kong Ming's bet is?"
Man Zhong asked at this time, he didn't know what kind of bet Zhuge Liang had made.
And Zhuge Liang smiled, "Berning, if Liang guesses the content of your lord's heart, then how about asking you to stay in Xinye for another day?" Liang has something to ask, I don't know how? ”
Listen to it with a full favor, stay for another day, and ask for advice? He said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming wants to know what Lu Dao is, but I will never say anything about our army!" ”
In Manzhong's opinion, what Zhuge Liang can ask himself is probably his own intelligence. So he also had some concerns, in case Zhuge Liang was talking with a bet and letting himself tell him some things about himself.
In fact, Man Chong hadn't found out yet, he himself had already stepped into Zhuge Liang's trap, but unfortunately he didn't react yet. He didn't feel that he was already thinking about the aftermath of failure, but he didn't think about what would happen if he won.
And after Zhuge Liang listened to Manzhong's words, he shook his head with a smile and shook his head, Manzhong didn't know, of course he wouldn't mean that, how could it be. So he said: "Where did Bonin think of this, Liang Ke had no such intention!" ”
Man Zhong nodded, and listened to Zhuge Liang continue: "If the content in your lord's heart is really the same as what Berning said, then Liang will promise Berning to do what he can, unless Kaecheng surrenders, there is no problem with the rest!" ”
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, he thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, everything is according to what Kong Ming said!" ”
In the idea of full favor, this is actually an opportunity anyway, so I can't miss it. It's just that he still doesn't know Zhuge Liang and his person, since Zhuge Liang bets with him, it means that he has absolute certainty. Or he wouldn't. Zhuge Liang is indeed a more cautious person, only less than full of pets-
After listening to Manzhong's words, Zhuge Liang nodded, then picked up Cao Cao's handwritten letter and handed it to him, "Since Berning has agreed, then open the letter and take a look!" ”
After a little hesitation, Man Pet took the letter from his lord. For him, of course, the letter should be opened by Zhuge Liang. But it depends on the meaning of the person. In order to avoid suspicion, it is directly to let yourself be disassembled. So since he is like this, he is naturally the one who deserves it. As for his father-in-law's previous words, even if he knows the Tao, he must be able to understand himself. Besides. I didn't say anything about this to Zhuge Liang, and it was strange that my lord could know the Tao. So......
After accepting the letter from his lord. He just took it apart and looked at it. After reading it, he said in his heart, it's over, he lost his bet. Isn't the content of his lord's letter the same as what Zhuge Liang said? First, I said two sentences. It's nothing more than persuasion, but it's really not a few words. Then his lord turned his pen and wrote directly, if you Zhuge Kongming don't belong to our army. is still ready to resist stubbornly in Shinno, so let's have a good fight.
Then there were a lot of words written about fighting Zhuge Liang, and it was clear that he must capture him alive to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
After reading his lord's letter, he understood. Feeling that his lord did not have much confidence to persuade Zhuge Liang, it was not so much to persuade him to surrender, but to give Zhuge Liang a war letter. Yes, the content of the letter, except for the fact that there is no war letter, the rest of the words basically say that there is going to be a war.
So at this time, he completely understood. Understand what, he knows that his lord has suffered such a big loss in Queweipo, if Zhuge Liang really defects to his lord, then everything is easy to say, and his lord will indeed not care about the previous one, after all, it is each his master, nothing, it is normal.
But if he doesn't join him, then his lord will definitely not give him a good face. In the eyes of his father-in-law, he himself is more able to use talents than Liu Bei. And Liu Bei basically doesn't have much power, but what about himself, he is the overlord of several states. Especially now, Yuan Shao, the overlord of the four northern states, has died, and his lord and Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi have become the most powerful princes in the world.
Therefore, in addition to being the uncle of the Han Emperor and a relative of the Han family, his lord thinks that he is better than Liu Xuande. However, he has such subordinates, and his lord also loves talents. But if Zhuge Liang didn't have the intention of defecting to his side, then his lord would be more unwilling in his heart. At this time, he was more concerned about how to win, how to capture Zhuge Liang alive, and even how to kill him. After all, if you can't use the talents for your own side, your own lord will not let them live. ——
Man Zhong handed the letter to Zhuge Liang again, and he smiled bitterly twice at the same time, and said with admiration: "Gao, Gao, Kong Ming, I admire, admire!" ”
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Berning is too famous, Berning don't forget the previous promise!" ”
Man Zhong sighed directly when he heard this, "Alas, Kong Ming, dare to ask if you have long been able to determine the content of my family master's letter?" ”
Zhuge Liang didn't say much about this, just shook the feather fan and smiled. However, in the eyes of Man Chong, Zhuge Liang was silent, which actually meant that he acquiesced, but he just didn't want to say more.
"I didn't lose unjustly, I didn't lose unjustly!"
At this time, he understood that he shouldn't be gambling with Zhuge Liang, others gambling with themselves, that is a big certainty, but what about himself, it is just a fluke psychology. So if you don't lose, who loses, so if you don't lose unjustly, you really don't lose unjustly.
"Ha Lu Ha! As long as Berning doesn't forget what he said before, the so-called 'gentleman's word'! ”
"It's hard to chase a horse!"
Man Zhong is still a relatively good-looking person, and people like him really attach great importance to their reputation. Therefore, even when they made a bet with Zhuge Liang before, except for him being Zhuge Liang, the two of them knew this. But full of favors is still disdainful of repentance. That's the kind of thing he can't do—
Cao Cao's heart was a little uneasy, it stands to reason that he sent Man Zhong to Xinye, even if this thing didn't work out, anyway, he really didn't expect him too much. But even so, the people should have come back early, but it was already this time, and the people who were full of favors still didn't come back from Xinye. So even Cao Cao was a little uneasy in his heart at this time.
Of course. Cao Cao didn't think that Zhuge Liang would put Man Zhong under house arrest, or even kill him. Cao Cao would never believe this, after all, in his opinion, the greater the ability, the more pride he has. So what ordinary people might do. They just don't necessarily have to do it. What's more, in Cao Cao's eyes. Like Zhuge Liang. A scribe, who is definitely a person who cherishes his wings very much and values his reputation very much, so ......
So like that kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall, he doesn't think Zhuge Liang will go back and do it. But after all this time, he didn't know what to do. Why did the full pet never come back? So this is the reason why Cao Cao's heart is not calm, he always feels that something is not quite right, but he can't remember anything. After all, sometimes, a lot of things. It was all fleeting, so it wasn't something Cao Cao could grasp.
But for this matter, Cao Cao didn't think about it. Because since he couldn't think clearly, he didn't feel very calm in his heart, so he didn't think about it. But he suddenly thought that he had two major strategists with the army, so it was better to ask them to ask, maybe they didn't know anything. After all, he is a man with short wisdom, although Cao Cao thinks that he also has some strategies, but to be honest, he has never dared to hold it up, nor does he dare to underestimate the world. It's just that sometimes I still underestimate the enemy, but I can't help this-
He instructed the soldiers outside the big tent to invite Xun You and Cheng Yu, saying that he had something important to discuss.
After a while, the two of them entered the big tent in turn. To tell the truth, the two of them really don't know what to do, and Man Pet has already left the camp, went to Xinye, and lobbied Zhuge Liang. After all, Cao Cao is the lord, he can't do everything and talk to his subordinates, how is this possible. As the lord, there are times when he can discuss with his subordinates, which is good. How can it be that you have to talk to your subordinates about everything, it seems that there is really no such lord.
After the two entered the big tent, they hurriedly saluted their lords, and then Cao Cao asked them to sit down, and then said to the two of them: "Gongda, Zhongde, don't tell you, I asked Bo Ning to go to Xinye City to persuade Zhuge Kongming before, but several hours have passed, but he still hasn't returned, I don't know what you think?" ”
What the? When the two of them heard this, they had to be surprised, after all, Man Pet went to Xinye, and he hadn't come back for several hours, so there was really something wrong with this matter. The character of the full of favors, what kind of person he is, both of them understand. Now in this matter, his lord asked him to go to Xinye to persuade Zhuge Liang, but he didn't come back at this time, which is indeed a little abnormal.
Because according to generally speaking, no matter whether it is successful or not, if it is successful, then if he is not ready to go back to the camp, he has to send someone to talk about it, but ...... If it fails, that's not to mention, the full pet should come back. But now there is no news, it's been so long, it's no wonder that his lord is looking for the two of them to talk about it. I have to say that this thing is indeed a bit strange, yes, that's how it feels-
"This, my lord, Man Boning, has been going to Xinye for many hours, but now there is no news, it can be seen that something has changed!"
This was said by Xun You, and at this time, he could say whatever he thought anyway, and there was nothing that could not be said at all. In Xun You's opinion, Man Chong is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of the way, if he doesn't succeed in persuading Zhuge Liang, he will definitely come back immediately, and if he succeeds, if he doesn't plan to come back tonight, how can he let people say it. As for saying that he is ready to persuade his people tomorrow? This is unlikely, after all, Zhuge Liang and his people, if they are not persuaded for a day, then how many days are useless. ——
In fact, Cao Cao also thought so, he thought that there was no news from Man Pet for so long, that is, there was something wrong in Xinye City, so that Man Pet could not pass on the news. But no matter what it was, he didn't know what it was, so he said: "What Gongda said is even, then you see, I will send a soldier to ask how it is?" ”
When Xun You heard this, he nodded, "It's so good, the lord is doing this, it should be the best policy!"
And Cheng Yu next to him also smiled, "The lord is like this, and his subordinates also agree!" ”
The so-called is without further ado, Cao Cao hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go to Xinye City to inquire, and the soldiers took the order and left.
It didn't take long for the soldier to return to the big tent, "Lord, Xinye Zhuge Liang sent someone to inform Xinye Chengtou that Mr. Berning lost the bet, so he stayed in Xinye tonight and couldn't return!" And Mr. Berning has to stay in Xinye for another day before he can leave! ”
When Cao Cao heard it, what is this? It's a loss that I'm so worried, but the result is because Man Chong and Zhuge Liang made a bet, and then lost, he had to stay for another day, and then he could come back, this, this, he didn't know what to say.
Cao Cao waved his hand impatiently at the soldiers, "I know the way, go down!" ”
"No!"
Cao Cao Xin said that this was the case, and at this time he said to Xun You and Cheng Yu, "I see, it seems that I am still too worried!" ”
However, Xun You and Cheng Yu obviously don't think so, but they have their own opinions. So they knew that it was time to speak. (To be continued......)
