"I see, I thought my uncle was deliberately teasing my nephew." Ma Kang suddenly realized.

"You are now a concubine of the Persian State in the West Sea, so you must have come to Liangzhou with a purpose, right?" Wang Hu looked at Ma Kang with a smile.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from my uncle, but this is His Majesty's secret decree, and my nephew can't confess it to my uncle, and I hope my uncle will forgive me." Ma Kang also said with a smile.

"The stinky boy has also learned to hide some of the city! If you come to Tianshui today, don't leave first, accompany your uncle to have a drink, don't get drunk or disperse! Wang Hu raised his glass and said heroically.

"Okay, my nephew will accompany my uncle today without getting drunk!" Ma Kang also raised his glass.

Outside the city of Chengdu.

The Han army has been besieging the city for many days, and Deng Ai has always closed the door without fighting, which makes the Han army have no way to start, because under the control of the Son of Heaven, the Han army does not dare to forcibly attack the city of Chengdu.

Even the Han army sacrificed the captured Deng Zhong to threaten Deng Ai, threatening to cut down Deng Zhong's sacrificial flag, but Deng Ai did not enter the oil and salt, and saw Deng Zhong who was tied up by five flowers from a distance, and almost fainted with grief at the head of the city, and then simply stopped looking, and let the Han army hold Deng Zhong under the city to wantonly scold, Deng Ai did not appear again in the city.

In the tent of the Han military camp at the east gate of Chengdu City, Jiang Wei suddenly urgently summoned the generals of the four city gates to discuss matters in the east camp, and everyone did not dare to delay, and hurried over from their respective camps.

"This is an urgent report sent by Chen She, the guard of Jiangyou City, you all take a look." Jiang Wei took out a parchment roll from his arms and handed it out.

Zhuge Xu, who was closest to Jiang Wei, took the parchment roll, spread it out and quickly skimmed it, his face became very ugly.

Soon the parchment scroll reached the other generals, and everyone read it, and there was a pessimistic atmosphere in the big tent.

"You have all seen that General Chen She sent someone to find out that Jia Chong led 20,000 Wei Western troops to Shudi, and the road was unimpeded, and they would be able to reach Jiangyou City in a few days, what countermeasures do you have?" Jiang Wei looked around at everyone in the account and asked.

For a long time, no one answered.

At this time, Liu Yao is most worried, Chen She is his most trusted and capable subordinate, Jiangyou City is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and there are less than 4,000 people left, Jia Chong's 20,000 Wei Western Army will definitely not be able to stop them, thinking of this, Liu Yao is already worried.

Seeing that everyone in the account was buried in contemplation, and no one stood up, Liu Yao couldn't bear it anymore.

"General, now we can only transfer troops to support General Chen She, otherwise once Jiangyou City is breached, our army will suffer from the enemy and lose everything." Liu Yao stood up and suggested, his intuition told him that this suggestion was not feasible, but he still wanted to try.

"How many reinforcements should I send? It is meaningless to send less, and if there are too many to send Chengdu, the city of Chengdu will not be besieged, and the strength of our Han army is already clumsy, in case Chengdu is insufficient to be surrounded by Deng Ai, it is still necessary to suffer the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and then think of other ways. Jiang Wei categorically rejected Liu Yao's suggestion.

Liu Yao was not surprised, there were so many generals in the Han army, no one would not think of sending reinforcements, since no one proposed it, it was definitely not feasible.

Until the evening, no one could come up with a countermeasure, and Jiang Wei was helpless, so he had to let the generals return to the camp again.

After Liu Yao came to the camp in Chengdu, he often lived in the Luo Xianjun camp at the north gate of Chengdu City, first, the north gate was garrisoned by barbarians, and Liu Yao would not feel pressure in front of Luo Xian, and secondly, Meng Yining was also in the camp at the north gate, and Liu Yao could run to her camp three or five times a day.

Returning to Beiying in the evening, Liu Yao had nothing to do, because he was upset about the Wei reinforcements, so he ran to Meng Yining's camp again.

"Yo? Your Highness is here again, is this our sister Yining's boudoir as your home? Moon Shadow stood outside the camp and looked at Liu Yao vigilantly.

"Miss Yining is knowledgeable, isn't it that I have encountered a problem and come to consult her again, please let Miss Moon Shadow give way!" Liu Yao said with a wry smile, every time she saw the moon shadow blocking here, it would take a lot of effort, which made Liu Yao have a headache.

"I don't think Your Highness is here to ask for advice, is it? Your Highness is still going back and forth, it's getting late, and it's time for our Yining girl to rest. Moon Shadow knew Liu Yao's thoughts and deliberately teased him.

"Huh? Zhang Zun, are you here? Liu Yao turned his head and shouted outside the camp.

"Huh? Zhang Zun? Moon Shadow hurriedly trotted towards the place where Liu Yao was looking, and looked around, but didn't see a single figure.

Liu Yao took advantage of the moon shadow's inattention and quickly ran into Meng Yining's tent.

"Heh, this little trick, forget it, let you in." Moon Shadow looked out of the empty tent door and muttered to herself.

At the beginning, when Liu Yao came to Meng Yining, Moon Shadow was still very tough to stop Liu Yao from coming, and then she didn't really block it anymore, but it was just for show, the boudoir of the girl who was not out of the pavilion was not for people to enter casually, but they Nanzhong people were not so particular, and Meng Yining was still Liu Yao's fiancée.

"Yining, haven't you rested yet?" Liu Yao walked straight over, and the two often got along with each other in the days of the Chengdu camp, and they were also familiar with each other, and the title no longer seemed so raw.

Meng Yining had just made tea, and sat at the table while sipping tea while reading the book of soldiers.

Liu Yao was not polite, as if she regarded this place as her home, and sat in front of Meng Yining generously.

"Your Highness seems to have come a little late today." Meng Yining put down the military book and looked at Liu Yao with a pair of eyebrows.

"The general asked me to go to Dongying to discuss matters, and I came back a little late." Liu Yao replied.

Seeing that Meng Yining had just put the military book on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This is? Twenty-four chapters of Wuhou's Book of War? Liu Yao picked up this military book and looked at the cover, after such a long run-in, he also knew the words of this era.

"This was given to me by the master when he left Nanzhong, and the master usually treats it as a treasure and doesn't show it to anyone." Meng Yining took back the military book from Liu Yao's hand, although Liu Yao was not an outsider in the strict sense, but she did not dare to disobey her master's explanation.

"What's your master's name? I asked him, but he didn't tell me. At this time, Liu Yao became more and more interested in the old man in the hermitage.

"I don't know, master, he never mentions his past, I only know that his surname is Zhuge again, probably Nanzhong in the year when the prime minister died of illness." Meng Yining poured Liu Yao a cup of tea and patiently answered his question.

"Compound surname Zhuge ? Maybe there is still some relationship with the prime minister. Liu Yao guessed disappreciatively.

"Master, he is very knowledgeable, maybe he can't tell." Meng Yining picked up the cup, took a sip of tea gently, and agreed.

"But he's a far cry from Cheng!" Liu Yao suddenly remembered the tips that the old man in the Jiecao Nunnery gave him.

"You see, this is the bag he gave me, the above said to use the hearts of the people of Shu to the Han, alas, I was happy for a while when I opened the bag, and now I don't understand what your master means." Liu Yao took out the bag, opened it and handed it to Meng Yining.

"The master may have a deep meaning." Meng Yining took the bag and glanced at it, but she didn't understand the master's intentions.

"Now I'm really in trouble, today at the general's place, the generals are helpless, they can only come to you to ask for a cup of tea to soothe and soothe their mood, maybe they can think of a way to solve it." Liu Yao frowned, picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.

"That's not how tea is drunk, tell me, what problems did you encounter?" Meng Yining saw Liu Yao drink all the tea in one go, and said with a smile.

"Jia Chong came from Xiliang with 20,000 troops, and he is almost in Jiangyou City, Chen She only has less than 4,000 people, where can he stop it, the general's troops here are already clumsy, and there is no spare strength to support Chen She, and the situation that is finally recoverable is about to erosive." Liu Yao grumbled worriedly.

"From Liangzhou to Shuzhong, there are many Han counties along the way, why didn't they block the Wei army?" Meng Yining asked with some confusion.

"Those county guards have received His Majesty's surrender, Jia Chong's army is menacing, they don't know the situation in Shu yet, who dares to make a bird to stop Jia Chong, not every Hanchen is like a general." Liu Yao shook her head helplessly.

"Your Highness, don't be too discouraged, there will definitely be a way to deal with it." Meng Yining couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so she had to comfort Liu Yao.

"Well, I hope so!" Liu Yao sighed.

The two of them quietly drank tea from Nanzhong, relatively silent, Meng Yining kept thinking until he saw the bag that Liu Yao had just opened on the table.

"Your Highness, do you think the officials of those counties are willing to be the Taishou of the Wei State or the Taishou of the Han Dynasty?" Meng Yining's clear eyes looked at Liu Yao.

"Of course, it is the Taishou who continue to be the Han Dynasty, they have now descended to the Wei State, and they can retain their official positions for a while, and after the Wei State pacifies Shuzhong, the position of the Taishou will definitely be replaced by the Wei people, those officials naturally know the pros and cons, but they don't know if the situation can be recovered, and no one wants to come forward." Liu Yao replied lightly, he still understands the psychology of these officials.

"What if there is an edict from His Majesty?" Meng Yining asked again.

"With His Majesty's edict, of course they will abide by it, but Your Majesty is now in the hands of the Wei army, how can you get the edict?" Liu Yao didn't know why Meng Yining suddenly asked this, and she faintly felt in her heart that she seemed to have thought of an idea.

"Does Your Highness remember the princes who would ally against Dong before the Tiger Prison Pass in the past?" Meng Yining showed a sweet smile reservedly.

Liu Yao was stunned for an instant, looking at Meng Yining blankly, not knowing whether he was fascinated by her smile or thinking about her question.

"I see, do you want me to follow Cao Mengde's edict to gather the princes?" Liu Yao suddenly brightened.

"Exactly." Meng Yining replied.

"I'll go back and write the edict, Yining, you've really done me a great favor." Liu Yao got up and kissed Meng Yining's forehead gently, turned around and left in overjoy.

Only Meng Yining was left sitting there in a daze, her face flushed.

"This man, he's always like that." Meng Yining sighed faintly, he was a little helpless about Liu Yao, every time he encountered something serious, he would always forget about himself.
