The autumn hunting army was solemn all the way and guarded Liu Bei to the palace of Hanzhong.

Liu Bei immediately gave dinner, animal meat, fur and a large sum of money, food, and cloth, everyone had a share, and the soldiers present were all elated, and they only felt that this trip was worthwhile.

Liu Bei also praised Wei Rong, who had gained the most from this hunting, and gave him a set of finely forged armor. Wei Rong felt so glorious that he couldn't wait to change it on the spot and show off his might.

After dinner, the army dispersed. Jiang Wei was about to return to the station with the Yulin Guard Brigade north. Suddenly, a rider came by, looked around, and kept asking, "Dare to ask which one is Jiang Wei and Jiang Zuocheng?" Strategist, please! ”

Jiang Weixin said: "I was looking for him, and I came at the right time!" Then he resigned from the Yulin Guards and rode away.

When I saw Zhuge Liang again, it was in the office of the Great Sima Mansion.

It was already dark, but the office of the Great Sima Mansion was still brightly lit, and the officials and officials on duty in various departments were still busy doing things, and there were people coming in and out, a busy scene.

Jiang Wei followed the herald through the courtyard and came to Zhuge Liang's duty room. But I saw that next to Zhuge Liang, who was dressed in official clothes and was writing at the desk, there was a scribe who was about thirty years old. The scribe had a delicate face, and when he looked closely, there were a pair of white eyebrows on top of his eyes.

"Could it be that this person is the Ma Liang Ma Ji Chang mentioned by Guan Xing?"

Jiang Wei didn't have time to think about it, bowed down and bowed: "The last general, Jiang Wei, see the military advisor." ”

Zhuge Liang looked up and showed a smile: "Boyo is here, there is no need to be polite." He stretched out his hand and pointed to his side, and said, "This is Jingzhou engaged in Ma Liang Ma Jichang." ”

"Sure enough, it's him!"

Ma Liang is a famous man with a good reputation, Jiang Wei didn't dare to hold it up, he was busy clasping his fists and giving salutes, and he already had a little understanding of Zhuge Liang's purpose in inviting him to come this time.

After taking his seat, Zhuge Liang restrained his smile, stared at Jiang Wei, and said in a deep voice: "What Boyo said that day, I am deeply worried. It's just that there is still one thing that I don't understand, so please elaborate on one or two. You have never been to Jingzhou, how do you judge the war in Jingzhou? ”

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wei replied: "The last general thinks that Jingzhou is to Eastern Wu, just like Hanzhong is to my Han, they are all places where the throat is rushed, and if you don't hold it in your hand for a day, you won't be able to rest in peace for a day; Moreover, the former general is a proud hero, and he has never sold Wu Hou's account, and the two sides will inevitably have some dirty; In addition, the last general also heard that Wu Hou's sister, Mrs. Sun, had returned to the east, and he was afraid that the matter of that day's judgment would be about to happen in the elbow. Also ask the military advisor and the horse to engage in the clear inspection! ”

Ma Liang's face was worried, and he said, "Jiang Zuocheng is right. In fact, as early as when Jun Hou flooded the Seventh Army and captured 30,000 Wei soldiers, Liang Ben always advised that he should retreat. This time, Liang was ordered by Jun Hou to return to Shu to report the good news, thinking that it must be a daily noise, which made Jun Hou impatient, so he sent it away. ”

Jiang Weixin said: "Ma Liang is the head of the civil officials in Jingzhou, and it is indispensable to assist Guan Yu in the dispatch of military resources. There is no need to send him to the matter of spreading the message, and some of them are clerical assistants who can be demolished. Guan Yu must have been red-eyed, and he couldn't listen to the advice of the contrary. Finally, he also sent Guan Xing to escort him all the way, so he also took care of Ma Liang's face. ”

Zhuge Liang sighed: "It's really the Hanzhong War, and a month ago, there was no grain in Yizhou, and it couldn't support the army to go out." If this is not the case, I will persuade the lord to send a steady general to Jingzhou to help. I don't want to be embarrassed by the teaching season, but I'm not. ”

Ma Liang hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

Jiang Wei suddenly realized: "No wonder the lord only sent a messenger to investigate, it turned out that the battle of Hanzhong wiped out Yizhou's family." Although this year is a bumper harvest, I don't know when the autumn grain will be put into storage. ”

Zhuge Liang turned to Jiang Wei again and said, "This afternoon, Shang Shuling sent someone to send an urgent message, saying that the lord had appointed Boyo to comfort Jingzhou. If our previous worries are true, I wonder what Boyo thinks about this trip to Jingzhou? ”

It's time to ask how to deal with it!

When Jiang Wei heard this, his eyes lit up. For more than a month, he has been thinking about this matter, and he has already prepared a draft, and now he is in high spirits and said:

"The last general thinks that if Dongwu has no intention of sneak attack, then the last general is worried about the sky. In the past, the general's ability, against Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, although it is difficult to say that he will win, he will not worry about self-preservation. In this way, it is enough for the last general to honestly express his condolences.

If the Eastern Wu intends to betray the alliance, it should also be divided into two situations: if it has not yet made a difficulty, the last general should lead 300 forest guards to be stationed in Jiangling City. If he wants to carry out a sneak attack, there will not be many soldiers. The last general has 300 elites in his hands, and he is waiting for work, and he will be able to support the former general's support.

However, the last general thinks that if you don't win anything, you will lose first. It should have been half a month since Ma Cheng left Jingzhou, and when the end of the year arrives, it will be at least half a month later. In the worst-case scenario, if the Eastern Wu sneak attack succeeds within this month, the former general will be in a position of loss of ground......"

He looked up and saw that both of them were listening intently, and immediately gritted his teeth and said:

"If the matter has come to this, the last general should gather Shangyong, Fangling and other military horses, assist the former general to fight out of the siege, garrison Wuxian and Zigui area, and wait for the army of Shuzhong to come to help!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes burned, and he continued to ask: "Then what about the cities of Jingzhou Nanjun and Lingling Land?" ”

Jiang Wei thought about it, and finally shook his head and said: "The last general knows that Jingzhou is a springboard for military divisions to capture the Central Plains, and it is very important. But with the ability of the last general, he could only think of how to rescue the former general, and carefully guard the Shu Pass to wait for reinforcements. As for the rest, there is nothing I can do. ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and his face suddenly showed a look of approval, and said: "If you want to think about its benefits, you must think about its harm, and if you want to think about its success, you must think about its failure." Berjo is cautious, and it is rare to be able to be honest. In this way, I can entrust this task to you. Just try your words with your ears, don't be surprised. ”

Jiang Wei was in great spirits and was about to speak, but Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said: "If Dongwu really betrays the alliance, the two countries have their own means, and it is definitely not a matter of one general and one city. Don't worry about the rest, just let it go. But if there is a change, you have to send the news back as soon as possible. ”

Jiang Wei was busy agreeing.

"When are you going to go?"

Jiang Wei hugged his fists and said: "I was about to report to the military division, and the last general thought that the soldiers were fast, and the faster the better." It's just that this is a reward for military funds, a consolation document, and a lot of trouble for the military advisor. ”

At this moment, a young official in his thirties came in at the door, bowed down and said, "Qi Qi military division, the materials needed to comfort Jingzhou are all ready now." 500 catties of gold, 2,000 catties of silver, 2,000 horses of silk, 100 jars of fine wine, and 1,000 sets of newly forged swords and armor are now being sent to the arsenal in the east of the city. The 500 soldiers and servants who were escorted have all been assembled. ”

Zhuge Liang bowed his head and said: "Hard work." ”

Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment. His request had just been put forward, and Zhuge Liang had already sent someone to prepare everything in advance, could it be that this person really had the foresight of the future?

Ma Liang said with a smile: "Jiang Zuocheng, don't worry, you see that the people here have worked hard overnight, so why?" After receiving the fast horse message from Shang Shuling in the afternoon, the military advisor immediately began to prepare for the reward of military funds, and now it is finally all in place. ”

Zhuge Liang pointed to a bamboo slip on the case again, and said: "As for the paperwork, I just wrote it." I am now going to meet my lord and ask him to sign immediately. ”

He paused, and then said: "In addition, I also asked Bo Yao to make a hard trip and return to the camp overnight to select three hundred accompanying Yu Linlang." I'll meet at the east gate tomorrow, and when the settlement is complete, you can set off. ”

Zhuge Liang's efficiency is really unparalleled in the world. No wonder during the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei could fight in Hanzhong for two years, and basically didn't have to go home. This god teammate is indeed well-deserved

Jiang Wei was inexplicably excited, and got up to thank him deeply.

After leaving the Great Sima Mansion, there was still an hour before the city gate was closed, and Jiang Wei returned home on a horseback and said goodbye to his family and others in person. The family only heard that the war in Jingzhou was going well, but they did not suspect him.

After packing his luggage and about to leave, he found a brocade loom under Ma Jun's corridor, and he was very curious. Seeing this, Ma Jun hurriedly explained.

It turned out that Jiang's mother was diligent and thrifty, and she had the habit of weaving cloth in her former residence in Tianshui on weekdays. After two months of peace in Shuzhong, he couldn't be idle anymore and bought a brocade loom to get back to his old business.

It's just that she used to weave linen, and now she wants to catch up with the trend of weaving Shu brocade, the raw material process of the two is completely different, and the complexity of operating the loom is also very different.

Seeing this, Ma Jun started to study. Everything has a law, and he thought that when he first learned how to operate the loom, he would be able to teach the old lady by hand. So he carried the machine to his house.

Jiang Wei shook his head and smiled, and walked out of the house. He galloped hundreds of paces and came to a stop under a wall.

This is the wall of the Right General's Mansion, and Zhang Xingcai lives in it. This wall is no more than a foot high, and with his current martial arts, he can go up with a light vertical.

Jiang Wei stretched out his hand to the placket, and the silk cloth filled with "Will Enter the Wine" was still hidden close to his body, faintly carrying body temperature.

It's just that the door is like the sea, the courtyard is deep, and when you look up, you don't know where the Yiren Fang is.

A cool breeze blew, carrying a hint of early winter.

Jiang Wei suddenly patted his cheek, and said in his heart: "Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei, the monarch is in danger, at this time of life and death, do you still have the heart to consider such a child's affection?" She's a righteous woman, so she should understand my troubles......"

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, gathered his good mind, and immediately clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and galloped towards the northern camp.

"Jun Hou, Tianshui Jiang Bo is here!"
