A few days ago, Zhuge Liang received an urgent report from Cao Zhen to lead his troops south. At the last moment, he first hid his plan in the bag, and sent Zhao Tong to reply alone, suggesting that Ma Chao and Jiang Wei would plan and trick Cao Zhen into retiring from the army with self-defilement.

However, he was cautious, and it was impossible to pin all his hopes on the enemy's self-retreat, so as soon as he sent Zhao Tong away, he immediately summoned Wei Yan and Guan Ping, and ordered him to raise more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and be prepared to rush north to support once the debate and battle began.

The development of Hanzhong is in the ascendant, and the Wudu strategy is in full swing, which finally came to the situation, and poured countless efforts into the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang will not be easily destroyed by Cao Wei.

After explaining the government affairs at hand, he himself, under the escort of dozens of elite Chinese troops, took a flat boat to Luoyang, came to inquire about the latest news, and made a detailed assessment of the effect of the field by the way.

When Zhuge Liang was in charge of Shuzhong in the past, he had a lot of experience in internal affairs, and he once wrote "Cheap Sixteen Strategies", which included an article "Examination of the Law", which said:

“…… The government of dethronement is said to move the good and dethrone the evil. The Lord of the Ming Dynasty is above, the heart is clear in the sky, the good and the evil are perceived, and the four seas are widespread, and the ministers of the small country are not left behind, and the people are the people, and the virtuous and virtuous are retreated, and the good and the good are retreated, and the good and the country are receiving, and the sages are gathered, so the good is persuaded to dethrone the evil, and Chen Zhi is to blame......"

Discerning everything and making the best use of people has always been an important foundation for the country to maintain political clarity.

Now the Wudu and Yinping are raising swordsmen, and Jiang Weizheng is supervising the generals of the Western Expedition for him as a supervisor.

But at the same time, he adhered to the principle of not leaving the law far away and not avoiding relatives, and also paid close attention to Jiang Weizhi's behavior - this is also the responsibility entrusted to him by the imperial court and the king of Hanzhong.

Outsiders say that he knows astronomy, geography, the art of war, and the insights, all of which are perfect, but he is the most clear about the secrets - without him, he can only observe more, think more, and study more.

He didn't inform anyone about this micro-service trip, only General Gao Xiang was by his side, and several experienced soldiers were cruising outside, far away to protect, and it was difficult for people to contact their relationship.

The Qiang and Han people in the city are mixed, and he is dressed like this, and passers-by only treat him as an ordinary merchant, and let him wander around and ask.

In the early morning, the field was already full of people, and a large number of Qiang people with left hair led sheep to the left, cattle to the right, and even some people carried herbs, running quickly on the spacious and clean streets.

The sound of buying and selling, shouting, and bargaining are all connected, and everyone's face is full of joy and hope.

In Zhuge Liang's impression, the Qiang people are free and unruly, and the more people gathered, the easier it is to cause chaos.

But along the way, he saw that the Qiang people along the way were well-behaved, and they didn't exceed the rules at all, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

In a hurry, he grabbed a rough Qiang man and asked a few questions about the cattle and horse market.

The Qiang man was a little impatient, but Zhuge Liang's attitude was kind and kind, and his smile was like the warm sun of three winters, which could dissolve all the barriers and preparations, so he couldn't help but stop and answer carefully. Unexpectedly, after chatting a few words, I suddenly felt like a spring breeze, and more and more smiles gradually piled up on my face.

When the conversation was a little provoked, Zhuge Liang's words suddenly turned around, and he asked about the security and public conditions in the city. The Qiang and Han are all prepared with no heart, and immediately know everything, say everything, and have the appearance of talking very happily.

******

After a long time of parading, he visited several pedestrians and merchants in a row, and Zhuge Liang finally had a good impression of the "orderly and vibrant in chaos" in the field.

Behind him, Gao Xiang followed closely and sighed sincerely: "When I came, on the way, the last general thought that the Wudu Qiang people were poor, what oil and water could there be?" Although the scale of this farm is not large, the imperial court can harvest hundreds of ploughing cattle and nearly a thousand war horses at a very low price every year, and the Qiang people also use this to find a way to survive and not rebel. This trip started from scratch, and Jiang Yu is really a capable person! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled, and said in his heart, Jiang Wei has a splendid belly, not to mention these skills? I was about to reply.

Suddenly, around the corner of a row of houses, a group of brightly armored guards flashed. The leader is a Qiang general, I saw that he was strong, with a beard, looking at the fierce gods, at this time he resisted a big knife on his shoulder, pointed at Zhuge Liang and Gao Xiang, and reprimanded angrily:

"Someone in the city reported that you two were sneaky and looking around for news. Ben will suspect that you are a spy sent by Cao Wei, and you will not be arrested obediently? Come on, take them down on the spot! ”

As soon as he gave an order, more than a dozen soldiers behind him were divided into two columns, and they stepped forward with a brush, surrounding the two of them tightly, and they were about to be captured.

"Presumptuous—"

How could the guards of the Chinese army, who were disguised and accompanied to protect Zhuge Liang, allow them to be so presumptuous? After a loud shout, he quickly copied out his personal collection of weapons and outflanked the patrol guards with lightning speed.

The patrol guards were startled and turned around and raised their swords to each other.

For a while, the two sides were tense and the atmosphere was very tense.

Gao Xiang was finally a person who crawled through the battlefield, seeing this situation, he knew that his identity was difficult to keep secret, so he stepped forward to block Zhuge Liang, and shouted with his sword:

"I am the king of Hanzhong, and Gao Xiang is also. In front of the military advisor, you are rude, and quickly call the guards here to come and see! ”

The Qiang general was furious and said, "What a stinker! You still can't do it, and you dare to resist arrest? Hmph, there is a kind, let Lao Tzu see how many pounds you have! ”

With that, he held the long knife horizontally and pressed forward step by step.

At this time, Zhuge Liang pushed Gao Xiang away, smiled at Qiang Jiang and said, "You are Yue Ji, right?" The big knife that Boyo gave you, can you still use it? ”

General Qiang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, how does he know my identity? That's it, he still knows that my broadsword was given by General Jiang? Could it be ...... Is it really not a spy?

With this contemplation, his footsteps involuntarily slowed down, and the murderous aura in his body disappeared invisibly.

In fact, Zhuge Liang was close to the battle situation in Wudu, and paid close attention to the leaders of the Qiang Di who surrendered. Yue Ji was the lord of Luoyang City, and Jiang Wei described it in the battle report; He also read the official document and never forgot it, and when Jiang Wei used the long knife that day, he also reported and explained the reason.

Therefore, with just one glance, he could confirm the identity of the Qiang general in front of him.

Before Shi Yueji came back to his senses, Zhuge Liang was already fluttering, slowly paced to him, and said with a smile:

"We have not seen me, so it is okay if you do not know me. In this case, you lead the way, and I will follow you to the office...... Where should Fei Wenwei be? He should know who I am. ”

At this time, getting closer, Yue Ji finally saw the true appearance of this so-called "military advisor" in Lushan.

But seeing that this person has a long body and a clear appearance, every move is not just right, that is, the clothes are swinging, and there is also a hidden way of nature, which is plain and intriguing, but there is no trace of disgust.

"Good...... Please come with me......" Yue Ji was confused, and the ghost made a god use the word "please". By the time he could react, the man had shaken the feather fan and walked a few steps away.

"Phew, but you haven't cleared the suspicion yet!" Yue Ji snorted coldly, pointed to the guard behind him, and shouted, "Keep up!" Don't get away with this person! ”

The guards quickly caught up, and the soldiers with blades surrounded them tightly.

Zhuge Liang only smiled, and walked around idly with his hands as before.

Looking at this scene, this group of guards patrolling the city did not look like they were watching the suspects, but more like they were guarding the officials.
