Jiang Wei saw the opportunity and recounted his worries about the Jingxiang war. Seeing Zhuge Liang listening, Jiang Wei added:

"At present, the Xiangfan war, the former general is in full swing, but Cao Cao is in the light and Sun Quan is in the dark, but in fact, there are many crises. Once there is a change, Jingxiang to Shuzhong, thousands of miles away, will inevitably be unable to respond.

If Soochow does not move, everything will naturally be fine. If... If there is a change, the lord and even the people who are in love with each other, in order to avenge the blood hatred, will devote all the strength of the whole country to crusade against Eastern Wu. At that time, the current good situation may change.

Wei Zizhi is a newly attached person, and military affairs should not be ignored, but since ancient times, the moon has been profitable, and the extremes of things must be opposed, and the military advisors must not ignore it. ”

After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he got up and threw himself to the ground.

His words gave Zhuge Liang two wake-up calls. First, Sun Quan has bad intentions, and the war in Xiangfan may change. Second, if there is a change, with Liu Bei's character, he will inevitably march eastward under anger. This is undoubtedly contrary to the strategic intentions of Zhuge Liangdong and Sun Quan to reject Cao Cao in the north. A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there will be a mistake, and I believe that with Zhuge Liang's talent, he will be able to understand his painstaking efforts.

Zhuge Liang's face was as pale as water, he shook the feather fan lightly, pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Except for Shang Shuling and me, have you ever said these words to others?" ”

"No, I didn't."

Zhuge Liang slowly bowed his head, and said: "Since I know about this matter, I should advise the lord one or two." However, Mi Zifang is the lord's wife and brother after all, and these words can be said in your mouth and into my ears, and I will not mention them again in the future. ”

Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

Zhuge Liang's meaning is very clear, Mi Fang and his brother Mi Zhu's family are rich in the East China Sea, as early as when the lord Liu Bei led Xuzhou, they went to his account, asked for money to give money, asked people to give people, and even married his sister to the lord Liu Bei as his wife, and followed him all the way to the present, and he was the confidant of the lord who was extremely close to him.

And Jiang Wei is just a general who has just been attached to Cao Wei, and openly suspecting the henchmen of the lord is tantamount to provoking contradictions between the monarch and the minister. Everyone has the heart of Zhizi to be suspicious of his neighbor, if this is known to the lord Liu Bei, there will be a gap in his heart, and he will put himself in an embarrassing situation.

The matter was stopped.

Jiang Wei knew that Zhuge Liang didn't let him get involved too much, and it was also out of protection for himself. Hurriedly clenched his fists to show gratitude.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang also expressed caution on this matter, Jiang Wei's heart was relieved.

It is now the middle of autumn and September, Guan Yu's army is in full swing, and in history, he was defeated and died in mid-December in winter, and there are still two months to go.

Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng can persuade Liu Bei to send troops to defend Eastern Wu as soon as possible, which is the best. If nothing can be done, the battle of Yiling will not be allowed to happen, and it will consume the vitality of Shu Han for ten years. This is the bottom line in his heart.

Of course, he has regrets in his heart. No matter how natural geniuses Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng are, they don't know this period of history better than they have crossed by themselves. If his position is a little higher and his relationship with Liu Bei is a little closer, he may not be able to turn decay into magic.

Jiang Wei left with this relaxed and apprehensive mood. He knew that in his current position, that was all he could do.

Walking to the street and seeing the bustling flow of people, Jiang Wei let go of his worries and slowly exhaled. His life in Shu Han has just begun, and there is still a large family to take care of. Isn't the most important thing for people to be down-to-earth?

The rest, but do their best, listen to the destiny of heaven.

******

Zhuge Liang sat on his knees for a long time, thinking of Jiang Wei's words from time to time, and felt anxious for no reason.

After thinking for a long time, he got up and took out a one-foot-square sandalwood box from the bookshelf. Because it had not been used for a long time, the box was covered with a thin layer of dust. He blew a breath, and the dust flew away.

He placed the box on the table, washed his hands and face, burned incense and kowtowed, and slowly opened it. I saw that it contained three old tortoise shells and a handful of dried yarrow.

Turtle Ce divination, this is the ancient method deduced and handed down to this day when King Wen of Zhou was detained.

Zhuge Liang silently recited in his heart: "The husband is sure to set the number, the burning turtle is observing, the Zhou Gongbu is three turtles, and the martial king has miasma." Zhao should be honest inside, and people at the time clearly see it outside, but it can not be said that the two are combined! Today's disciples are confused, and they also ask Taihao and King Wen to explain them for me. ”

His eyes were slightly closed, and he said something in his mouth, and suddenly grabbed a tortoise shell, threw it into the air, and before the tortoise shell landed, he grabbed the remaining tortoise shells one by one and threw them into the air one by one.

With several successive "clicks", three turtle shells fell on the case.

Zhuge Liang opened his eyes and saw that the three turtle shells were all facing the sky on their backs, and they stopped on the case steadily.

According to the ancient law, the three painting hexagrams are stacked in pairs, which is the acquired gossip. The first deduction is the change of yin and yang of the three main positions.

The turtle's back is facing the sun, which is for the yang, and the three turtle shells in front of him are all facing the sky on the back, which is the main position of the yang, and the yangyao is in its proper position, which is for the trigram.

"Yi Qian" said: At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the six times were completed, and the six dragons were taken to control the sky. This hexagram means that everything in heaven and earth can come according to the will of the Lord, and it is the hexagram of the auspicious people who have their own heavenly appearances.

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He gathered the turtle shell and began to calculate the change of the three guest positions.

I saw that after three "snaps", the three turtle shells also turned their backs to the sky and fell on the case.

His face finally changed.

The guest position is improper, which means that the guest position has a tough attitude, which is a potential factor that is unfavorable to the main position. The two hexagrams overlap each other, which is the sign of Kanglong's remorse.

On the ninth, Kang Long has regrets. The nine of the yao, at the end of the whole hexagram, can not rise, and the profit cannot last long.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Zhuge Liang's head: "Could it be that Guan Yunchang's Northern Expedition is really extremely dangerous?" ”

His shoulders shook slightly, and he inadvertently knocked the teacup to the ground, but he didn't know it, he just focused on taking out the yarrow and began to calculate and verify.

It all happened to be seen by a woman outside the door. This woman is in her thirties, dressed simply, with good eyes, and looks very smart, it is Zhuge Liang's wife, Huang Yueying.

The couple had always liked to be quiet, and there were only a few old servants and boys in the huge mansion, and many things in the house needed to be done by the two masters themselves. Just now, she saw that the guests had dispersed, so she held the freshly boiled red date lotus seed soup on the stove and sent it to her husband, and happened to see the scene of fortune telling.

Huang Yueying knew that her husband was a Confucian disciple, and although her husband was proficient in the way of turtle divination, he was not superstitious. In her impression, the two have been married so far, and the husband has only counted three trigrams in total.

The first hexagram is counted on the eve of Liu Yuanjun's three visits to the thatched house. On that day, it was calculated as a hexagram. Upper six: Darkness, Cheng Youyu, no blame.

She has been by her husband Zhuge Liang for a long time, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, she is also quite familiar with the Book of Changes. The meaning of this hexagram is: after thinking about it repeatedly at night, even if things are successful, there may be changes.

In fact, regarding whether to follow Liu Yuanjun, the hexagram did not tell her husband a clear answer. But in the end, he followed Liu Zhijun without hesitation. Huang Yueying knows that it is only because her husband has the righteousness of the world in his heart and is full of ambition. Regardless of the hexagram, he already had the answer in his heart.

The second hexagram is counted on Cao Cao's southern expedition, the eve of the husband's envoy to Eastern Wu. That hexagram is a hexagram. Sixty-fourth: The ratio of the outside, Zhenji. The meaning of that hexagram is: alliance with foreign countries and goodwill, chastity and auspiciousness. Sure enough, the husband promoted the alliance between Liu and Sun, and a fire in Chibi burned Cao Cao to the north, and Liu made Jun have a place in the world.

Huang Yueying also knew that even if the hexagram calculated that day was the next hexagram, her husband would still be duty-bound and generously go to Wu. Just because he is such a man who will not repent even if he dies as long as he believes in the truth.

Huang Yueying also knows that her husband Zhuge Liang is wise, and he is not keen on divination, but every time he divination, it is when the situation will change.

The husband's fortune telling is not so much about the future as it is about using external objects to soothe the anxiety and doubts in the heart.

Today there is a third fortune telling.

She quietly approached, gently put the lotus seed soup aside, and looked sideways, only to see the yarrow on the case arranged vertically and horizontally, showing that Kang Long had regrets.

"Isn't there a change in the general trend of the world?"
