Zhuge Liang Mansion in Luoyang City

Luoyang City has not been lively these days, Chengdu Liu Chan learned that Luoyang was restored, Longyan Dayue, ordered to reward the three armies with wine and meat, vigorously rewarded the generals, and ordered the secretary of state to formally discuss the relocation of the capital. After receiving the order, all the generals were busy putting up lanterns to celebrate, and the prime minister's mansion was immersed in joy.

On this day and night, Zhuge Liang was sitting alone at the desk, looking at the map on the table, and he didn't even notice that Jiang Wei entered the door to play the report.

Jiang Wei reported several times at the door, seeing that Zhuge Liang did not answer, he approached with doubts, and saw that Zhuge Liang was staring at the map, his face was heavy, and he said casually: "What is the prime minister thinking?" ”

Zhuge Liang raised up at this time, and when he saw that it was Jiang Wei, his sad face stretched slightly, and he smiled and beckoned Jiang Wei to take a seat. Dao said: "I lost my mind for a while when I looked at the picture, and I didn't pay attention to Boyo coming in, which was rude." ”

Jiang Weizuo replied: "It's okay, it's okay, the prime minister has every opportunity, strategizing, in just a few months, our army has won great victories one after another, and the recovery of the Central Plains is just around the corner." But I just looked at the prime minister's sad face, and it seemed that something was difficult. Although Wei is not talented, he is willing to share one or two worries for the prime minister. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and smiled: "Boyo is loyal and diligent, with your help, you will get twice the result with half the effort." Come, this is a map of the surroundings of Luoyang, and you can see what the mystery is. ”

Jiang Wei came over, looked at the map for a long time, and praised: "The humane Luoyang rivers and mountains are arched, and the shape is better than the world, and now I know that what I said is true." Luoyang lives in the middle of the world, blocks the valley in the west, according to the tiger prison in the east, leans on the mountain in the north, faces Yique in the south, and has countless fertile fields in the Yiluo Plain, the waterway is developed, and the transportation is convenient. Tens of thousands of my troops are gathered here, retreating can hold on to the danger, enter can control the world remotely, and wait for the opportunity to attack the Quartet. The situation is very good, I don't know what the prime minister is worried about? ”

"Boyo was well versed in geography and had a mastery of the art of war. However, as a general, we must not only know the time and geography, but also have a long-term vision and prevent problems before they happen. The ears on the map of those who see today are the image of the surface, and the people I am worried about are the hidden crises outside the map. Zhuge Liang said with a solemn face.

Jiang Wei was puzzled and said, "Forgive Wei for being ignorant, please teach me the prime minister." ”

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, and said: "As Boyo said, Luoyang is a place of dangerous defense and dragons and tigers. However, the sage cloud, the solid country does not take the risk of mountains and rivers.

Although I have captured Luoyang today, there are many passes in Luoyang, and although they can be defended, they are difficult to preserve. If the enemy army is attacking from many ways, and our army has not yet been gathered, how can we resist it? Once the pass is broken into, the Central Plains is a flat river, and the soldiers can invade the city within a few days, which is a risk.

At the beginning of this year, Luoyang, the people's hearts are newly attached, the army consumes a huge amount of money and food, and it still needs to be connected to the Guanzhong, and the foundation is unstable, which is the second risk.

Our army has won consecutive battles for several months, not because the Wei army is not elite, but because it is centrifugal up and down, and I have used clever tricks. Wei still has a large number of soldiers and generals, and the money and food in the city are several times that of mine. However, our generals are happy because of this, saying that there is no one in Wei State, and the arrogant soldiers are light on the enemy. Now it has gone deep into the Central Plains, if the Wei State chooses another virtuous and commander-in-chief army to fight a decisive battle with our plain, the outcome is unknown, and this is the three dangers.

The recovery of the Central Plains is not a day's work, and it needs to be done steadily and steadily, step by step. When I first entered Luoyang today, I have these three risks, how can I not worry? ”

When Jiang Wei heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The prime minister's thoughts are far-reaching, and Wei's knowledge is shallow, and he has benefited a lot today." ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly helped Jiang Wei to get up, and said: "Boyo is very resourceful, and he will be above me if he concentrates on his achievements." By the way, you just came in, but something happened? ”

Jiang Wei got up and hurriedly took out the letter from his arms: "Exactly, I just received a report from the Tiger Prison guard, the stakes are very high, I dare not delay, I met the prime minister late at night." ”

Zhuge Liang took the perusal reading, suddenly frowned, sat down slowly, raised his head and said, "Someone!" The three armies were ordered to return to the camp immediately and reorganize the troops and horses. Let the generals gather in the government tomorrow morning to discuss the account. In addition, he sent people to Sichuan to inform His Majesty, delay the relocation of the capital, and send additional troops and horses to help. ”

Jiang Wei was shocked and asked, "Why is the prime minister so urgent?" ”

Zhuge Liang sighed: "Lord Cao Rui of Wei...... I went to Luoyang. ”
