A shrewd man in a strong suit came to Zhuge Liang's mansion in the evening and asked to see Lord Thorn Shi. "New Pen Fun Δ Pavilion . Zhuge Liang saw the visitor's post, and hurriedly asked his family to arrange to meet him in the study.

Zhuge Liang saw the person coming, and said with a smile: "Brother Fan Zhuang easily doesn't wait for my door, there must be something important when he comes." ”

The person named Fan Zhuang, the leader of Mingwei placed by Shi A in Yizhou, saluted Zhuge Liang and said: "Lord Shi A's rules are extremely strict, and Lord Shi is busy with official business, and the younger brother does not dare to disturb him. It's just that Pang Xi is constantly moving, secretly organizing people to enter Chengdu, and so far, there are about thousands. ”

Zhuge Liang also has his own intelligence system, and when it comes to the ability to collect intelligence, it is definitely not as good as the Mingwei system that has existed for nearly 20 years. Thank you Brother Fan Zhuang for reminding me, and I still want to trouble your people, pay close attention to Pang Xi's movements, and find out where his people are located. In my guess, Pang Xi has been in Yizhou for many years, and I am afraid that there will be more people. Let's wait and see what happens, wait until it's almost full, and then deliver a thunderbolt blow. ”

Fan Zhuang said: "Okay, I will ask the brothers to increase their strength in this regard." The big family over there in Shu County, I don't know what to do with it? ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "As long as Pang Xi's men are caught, are you afraid that they won't be able to provide for the head of the family behind the scenes?" As long as the evidence is in hand, these self-defeating families, Liang has already chosen a good place for them. ”

Fan Zhuang said with a smile: "The choice of the adults must be wonderful." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "In this place, if they don't work for a day, they won't have a day's food." These scholars have been living comfortably for too long, ignorant of the value of material resources, and do not care for the sufferings of the people. ”

Fan Zhuang said: "The adults are worried about Zhou Xiang, if there is nothing else to do, the younger brother will leave." ”

After sending Fan Zhuang away, Zhuge Liang returned to the backyard, Huang Yueying greeted him and said with a smile: "Look at your appearance, you have a lot of worries, what is the big deal?" ”

Zhuge sighed and said: "The emperor governs the world, benefits the people, and deprives some people of their interests. ”

Huang Yueying laughed, "This little thing, does it make my husband embarrassed?" ”

"It's not to be embarrassed, it's just to sigh for these people. The emperor did not go too far, and the islands, the Western Regions, and the grasslands were vast, and the emperor issued an edict to encourage the big families to buy land there and hire people to farm. These people, very short-sighted, only look at this place under their own eyelids. ”

"At the turn of the new and old policies, these things are inevitable. The emperor governs, as long as the people of the world support it, the big family will not be able to make much waves. ”

"Yes, let's not talk about that. I don't know how the crossbow was developed? The emperor wanted to use troops outside the territory, and heard that the cavalry of Kangju and Kushan were strong, and crossbow arrows were the only way to restrain the cavalry. ”

"It's still under development, but it's a small trick in the middle, and I have been thinking about it for many days, but I can't figure it out."

"Don't worry, don't overthink it, it will affect your body."

Huang Yueying sighed and touched her little belly, she has been married for so long, her stomach has not moved at all, and the eldest brother Zhuge Jin has been writing constantly, suggesting that Zhuge Liang take a concubine, Zhuge Liang has taken care of his own feelings and has not allowed it. Speaking of which, his husband is really a good man who values love and righteousness, but he is too careful, and everything must be bowed to, didn't the emperor's brother say that he must learn to delegate power and wave the enthusiasm of his subordinates, but he is born with a character that is difficult to change for a while.

Huang Yueying said leisurely: "The concubine is fine, it's just that we have been married for so long and we don't have children yet, I'm afraid that my husband won't look good, so it's better for you to listen to the eldest brother and take a concubine, right?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Look at you, here again, we are still young, and the child's affairs are not in a hurry." The eldest brother wrote a few days ago saying that my sister-in-law is happy again, what I mean, if it is a boy, I will tell the eldest brother, how about passing it on to us? ”

Zhuge Liang in history, at the age of 47, he had a son Zhuge Zhan, and the first son was the son of Zhuge Jin, named Zhuge Qiao, the word Songbai. Only since she had her son Zhuge Zhan, Huang Yueying had many happy events and gave birth to a son and a daughter.

Huang Yueying watched women of the same age tease their children, her heart was warm, and when she heard Zhuge Liang's words, she applauded and said: "Okay, okay, if the eldest brother agrees, we will name the child Pan'er, what do you think?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "I know that you love children, and the eldest brother will never allow it." ”

Pang Xi began to arrange in full swing, and 66 people continued to come to Chengdu. In the huge city of Chengdu, it is not a problem for Pang Xi to arrange thousands of people with 8,000 people, but who will lead it? That's a problem. Pang Xi remembered that most of the generals in Yizhou in the past were obedient, and only one Zhang Ren was still there, but I heard that Zhang Ren and the crown prince Liu Zhen had a very close relationship, what was the attitude of this person to the ground? Pang Xi couldn't make up his mind, and he had also communicated with many old Yizhou generals on the side, and these people all reported the thick thighs of his grandmother, so he forgot the old hatred and ignored himself. Peng Yi is also a restless master, but he speaks openly, so it's better to draw a line with him. Pang Xi thought about it for a while, and now sadly, his subordinates were not available, so he decided to go to Zhang Ren to find out.

Pang Xi sent people to watch outside the door of Zhang Ren's Mansion to see if the crown prince Liu Zhen was also there, and after getting accurate information, Pang Xi slowly came to Zhang Ren's Mansion.

Zhang Ren's body has been a little blessed recently, Liu Zhen often brings wine and meat to visit, Zhang Ren's big deal is to compete with Liu Zhen in the school field in the house, and the amount of activity is naturally small. When Zhang Ren heard Pang Xi's visit, his brows furrowed, he hadn't interacted with him much on weekdays, what were you doing here?

Zhang Ren exchanged pleasantries with Pang Xi, then sat quietly without saying a word. Pang Xi couldn't hold it back, and said: "General Zhang closed the door to thank the guests, Taoguang is obscure, so idle." ”

Zhang Ren said secretly, aren't you a guest? Lao Tzu is just an outdated general, the so-called phoenix that has landed is not as good as a chicken, who will step on my threshold, except for Liu Zhen's kid. "The huge people laughed, and it was quite pleasant for a certain person to read a book at home and play with flowers and plants."

Pang Xi continued: "Since Liu Jiyu, there are many Shu people who don't think about their old masters, but the general is still as strong as jade and does not fall into the old vows. ”

Zhang Ren said: "To be fair, Liu Jiyu governs Sichuan, which is better with the new emperor?" ”

Pang Xideng choked, this Zhang Ren seemed to have criticized the old master Liu Zhang's approach. Zhuge Liang was appointed by the Han Emperor Yizhou since the history of the thorn, rest with the people, let the people benefit, Shu brocade as a Yizhou specialty, exported to the territory, for the people who plant mulberry and silkworms did bring a lot of income. Zhang Ren just doesn't go out of the house, and with Liu Zhen, the ear of God, he doesn't necessarily know less about the outside world than himself.

Pang Xi smashed his mouth, sighed and said: "After all, Liu Jiyu has been running Yizhou for two generations, and the old master is still there, so doesn't the general care?" ”

Zhang Ren saw that Pang Xi showed his purpose, and said lightly: "I have been friends with my little friend Liu Zhen for many days, and then I understand that no matter who governs Shuzhong, as long as the people say it is good, it is really good." As for some of the moths who started by exploiting the people, they are unwilling to be deprived of their interests, and they are somewhat resentful, which is understandable. ”

Pang Xi was choked again, knowing that it would be useless to continue, so he changed the topic and said: "Recently, I heard that the Qiang people in western Sichuan are about to move, and they have raised the banner of revenge for Liu Jiyu. After all, Liu Jiyu's father and son have been friends with the Qiang people for many years, and the Qiang people are upright and do not forget their roots, so they started the army. Yizhou is initially stable, and it seems that it is going to be chaotic again. ”

Zhang Ren laughed and said: "How many Qiang people are gathered?" The grasshopper shakes the tree, and it is not self-sufficient. ”

Pang Xi said: "If Yizhou responds, Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan, and Liu Zhen will not be able to make it." ”

"Haha.., the huge people are too overestimating the Qiang people and the internal response. Not to mention Zhuge Liang's incomparable resourcefulness, it is my little friend Liu Zhen, who is also a clear observer. Liu Zhen once said that a few bed bugs will not be able to jump for a few days. ”

Pang Xi came down with a cold sweat on his back, what does Zhang Ren mean by this? Did they perceive my intentions? Pang Xi smiled embarrassedly: "General Zhang doesn't go out of the mansion, and he admires Yizhou like a palm print." There is still something important to do, so I will leave first. ”

Zhang Ren said lightly: "Huge people walk slowly. The overall situation of Yizhou has been decided, and recklessly using swords and soldiers will only lead to fire. ”

Pang Xi walked out of Zhang Ren's mansion quickly, his back was already soaked with cold sweat, and he sat in the car, thinking about what was wrong with him. Zhang Ren's words seem to be very clear about his behavior. The people I sent out to contact are all cronies around me for many years, so there should be no problem? Could it be that some great clan has betrayed me?

Pang Xi returned to the mansion and didn't dare to think about it anymore, now that the arrow is ready to fly, most of the manpower has come, and if he waits any longer, Pang Xi really can't imagine what the result will be. There is no general, so he has to use his own soldiers as the leading big brother.

Pang Xi chose to move at dawn three days later, and sent all the soldiers in the palace out, leaving only a few rangers who were kind enough to get acquainted with as his own protection.

Zhandui took people and dressed Zhang Jia as his own clansman, and came to Chengdu smoothly to meet Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang heard that the leader of the Qiang tribe was visiting, and hurriedly met him.

Zhandui said to Zhuge Liang with a Qiang etiquette: "Lord Zhuge , can you let your servants avoid speaking?" ”

Zhuge Liang waved his hand, saw the congren leaving, and said with a smile: "Zhandutou people, although you and I have never met, but we have been friends for a long time, did the head man send young men to Wudang Feijun?" ”

Zhandui said: "No, no, no. Your subordinate Pang Xi sent a man named Zhang Jia to our territory to persuade us to send troops to help Pang Xi rebel. Since Lord Zhuge took office in Yizhou, he has been friendly with my clan everywhere, how can I be an ungrateful person. ”

Zhuge Liang laughed, took Zhandui's hand and said, "Han nationality, Qiang nationality, brothers." The head of the pile is well aware of the righteousness, and Liang has thanked him here. As a Han Chinese, Pang Xi does not want to protect the country and the people, but he wants to do unkind acts, but fortunately, the head man came to reveal the maze for me. ”

Zhandui said: "The person has been delivered, Lord Zhuge , don't leave it at that." ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "What are these words? It is rare for people to come to Chengdu, Liang has not yet finished the friendship of the landlord, this is about to leave, do you look down on me as a brother? ”

Zhandui didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be so enthusiastic, touched his scalp and said, "Okay, since the adults think they are brothers, my eldest brother will bother you for a few days." ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "This is a good brother, the eldest brother will go to the post house to rest first, and when I finish my business, I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the eldest brother at night." ”

Pang Xi didn't sleep all night, looking at the leaky pot nervously, as time passed, the moment of movement finally came.
