Zhuyang Pass, Wen Ping is like a great enemy.

At noon, there was a team of more than 1,000 elite horsemen who drove into the left of Zhuyang City. This army came from the direction of Wancheng, and it was by no means a Jingzhou soldier, and Wen Ping suspected that this might be the vanguard of Cao's army.

It's just that there is one thing that Wen Ping doesn't understand.

The text sent by Yuan Shao is now flying all over the sky, Cao Cao is not busy fighting with Yuan Shao, sending a team of soldiers and horses to Jingxiang, is it possible, Cao Cao still thinks that no one is pulling his hind legs?

Wen Ping sent Pegasus to summon Xiangyang, and strictly guarded Zhuyang Pass.

Off the wall, Wen Ping paced back and forth, in a dilemma.

In fact, if an enemy army is coming, he only needs to defend Zhuyang Pass.

However, the 1,000 elite horsemen with unknown friends and foes entered Chuyang, which made it difficult for Wen to be hired.

Who doesn't know whose industry is in Chuyang?

Wenpin doesn't care about the face of the Huang family, but now Weiyang is already the industry of the Zhuge family, and he still owes Zhuge Kongming the grace of saving his life!

Wen Ping wanted to send troops to exterminate the 1,000 "thief army", but he was worried that he would fall for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he hesitated for a while.

God knows, behind these thousand "enemy troops", will there be tens of thousands of troops lurking!

"Report, General, the horse is back." A lieutenant hurriedly ran to Wen Ping's side and said.

"Hmm." Wen Ping stood at the head of the head: "What news can you find?" ”

At this time, the sentry also returned.

"General Yu, within a radius of thirty miles from Zhuyang Pass, our sentinels have all been checked, and there are no enemy troops anywhere else except for Chuyang."

"Oh? No enemy troops? Wen Ping was a little puzzled.

At the same time, Wenpin is also a little relieved.

Since there is no large army of enemy troops, this 1,000 "thief army" that has entered Weiyang, he can always eat it with confidence, right?

In this way, it can be regarded as a slight repayment of Mr. Kong Ming's life-saving grace.

Wen Ping was about to return to the general's mansion and summon the soldiers to send troops, when another lieutenant came to report.

"General Yu, there is a person from outside the south gate, claiming to be Zhuge Kongming, to meet the general."

Hearing this, Wen Ping was curious and very happy.

"Hurry up and open the city gate, please Mr. Kong Ming enter the city!" Wen Ping was pleasantly surprised.

At this time, he didn't care about the nearby Chuyang, and there was a fine cavalry of more than 1,000 people.

Anyway, with those 1,000 men and horses, it is definitely impossible to take the opportunity to take Zhuyang Pass!

……

In the city of Zhuyang, in the general's mansion.

"Mr. is deeply honored to come to Zhuyang!"

Wenpin courteously welcomed Zhuge Liang into the general's mansion.

"Sir is here, but for the 1,000 thieves who suddenly entered the city?"

After the two sides sat down to serve tea, Wen Ping asked directly.

In Wenpin's thoughts, in the Zhuangzi of the Zhuge family in Weiyang, he had just entered a thief army, and Mr. Kong Ming came to Zhuyang Pass, I am afraid that he wanted to ask Wenpin to send troops to exterminate the group of thieves on the Zhuangzi of Weiyang, right?

This is also in line with his intentions.

"Sir, don't worry, I will send troops to exterminate that gang of thieves."

Wen Ping said, and prepared to ask his own soldiers to summon the generals under his command to raise troops.

"General, slow!" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and stopped Wen Ping from summoning the generals to send troops.

Under Wen Ping's incomprehensible gaze, Zhuge Liang smiled: "Liang came to Zhuyang this time, it is indeed for the thousand elite horses in Zhuyang. However, he didn't want the general to send troops to destroy them, but he wanted to borrow a way for them. ”

"Borrow?" Wen Ping was even more puzzled.

Zhuge Kongming shook the feather fan and nodded: "Yes, it's just borrowing the way." ”

If Liu Bei wants to take Hanzhong, he must first enter the territory of Hanzhong. And Xiangyang is close to the left, or the entire Nanyang County, only Zhuyang Pass, which is the main road in and out of Hanzhong. Of course, Hanshui is a waterway, so there is no need to say more.

Therefore, Liu Beijun borrowed the road to build Yangguan, which is a must.

Wen Ping arched his hand: "Please also ask Mr. to solve your doubts!" ”

If you want to say that Zhuge Liang himself enters and exits Zhuyang Pass, it is completely fine. On weekdays, Zhuyang Pass is not forbidden to travel for business. However, Zhuge Liang is involved with the 1,000 thief army in Chuyang, what does this mean?

Wen Ping did not suspect that Zhuge Liang wanted to seize Zhuyang Pass. With Zhuge Liang's intelligence and relationship with the lord Liu Jingzhou, if Zhuge Liang is out of Jingxiang, how can he be sent away by just one Zhuyang Pass?

Zhuge Liang didn't answer immediately, but said: "General Wen knows that Liang has already gone out of the mountain!" ”

Wen Ping stood up in surprise and congratulated: "Mr. is finally out of the mountain?" ”

"Congratulations, sir!"

Then, Wen Ping asked again: "I don't know what official position the lord has granted to Mr.?" ”

In Wenpin's mind, since Zhuge Kongming is out of the mountain, he must be under the account of the lord Liu Jingzhou. Moreover, with the kinship between Zhuge Kongming and Liu Jingzhou, it is inevitable that he will be awarded a heavy responsibility.

"Could it be that the 1,000 elite riders in Chuyang are what the main bus did for Mr. Kong Ming?"

"The lord wants to seize Hanzhong?"

At this time, Wen Ping's heart couldn't help but become a little lively.

……

Zhuge Liang shook his head and explained: "It's not Liu Jingzhou, it's the imperial uncle Liu Bei!" ”

Not the lord?

But Liu Bei?

Wen Ping's heart that had just warmed up seemed to be poured with cold water in an instant.

Just now, Wen Ping was still thinking that if the lord sent Zhuge Kongming to lead the army into Hanzhong, maybe he Wen Ping could follow and do something. Who knew that in this moment, it was not the arrangement of the lord, but Zhuge Kongming came for Liu Bei.

"Mr. Kong Ming came out of the mountain, and it was Liu Bei who was chosen?" Wen Ping couldn't believe it.

Zhuge Liang also saw Wen Ping's incredulity, so he said: "The world is now a big dispute, the Han world is in danger, and it is inevitable to show the mountain." ”

"It is said that when I Zhuge Kongming went out of the mountain, the best choice was naturally Liu Jingzhou. After all, Liu Jingzhou is my uncle-in-law. However, Liang had already seen through Liu Jingzhou's shortcomings, so he abandoned Liu Jingzhou with talent and assisted Uncle Liu Huang. ”

"Liu Jingzhou is close to the sixtieth year now, how old is his life?"

"The two sons under his knees, do you think General Wen himself can assist?"

"Now, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north are about to have a decisive battle, no matter who wins or loses in this battle, the victorious side will dominate the north, and it will also turn its troops, or point to Jiangdong, or look at Jingxiang."

"At that time, Liu Jingzhou was even more dying, or had already collapsed."

"In this way, Jing Xiang will sooner or later fall into the hands of the northern overlord!"

"This is the situation in Jingxiang in the future."

"General Wen thinks that since I, Zhuge Kongming, have seen this, will I still accompany Jing Xiang as a second minister?"

The so-called second minister is a subordinate.

Not to mention that Zhuge Liang is unwilling to be a second minister, even if he is hired, I am afraid that he is not willing to be a second minister, right?

……

Zhuge Liang's explanation, although it solved Wen Ping's doubts, but at this time, Wen Ping was even more worried.

Jing Xiang's future, Wen Ping really didn't think about it, but now listening to Zhuge Kongming's analysis, Wen Ping feels that this is really the case: the lord is dying, and the two young sons are incompetent, so the future Jing Xiang will really be wanted.

Wen Ping is a loyal minister, how can he not worry about his father-in-law?

At this time, Wen Ping forgot the purpose of Zhuge Kongming's purpose of building Yangguan.
