In the second year of Han Zhangwu, Liu Bei fought with the Xianbei and Xiongnu coalition forces in Wuzhangyuan, double ten days. {UC eBook, first. The Qiang tribe suddenly came out from behind, occupied Xianyang, and approached Chang'an, inevitably suffering from the enemy, Liu Bei retreated to Chang'an, and then, the Sanhu army besieged Chang'an City.

Inside Chang'an City.

"Shiyuan, you mean to send someone to Chengdu to rescue?" Zhang Fei asked.

Pang Tong nodded: "That's right, there are still 100,000 troops and hundreds of generals in Shu, and Kong Ming is resourceful, as long as Kong Ming leads the troops in person and attacks the Hu people on both sides with us, we will definitely be able to win." ”

"Shi Yuan, it's just that now that the Hu army is besieging Chang'an City, how can you send people to Chengdu for help?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Three generals, Hu is besieging the city, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to kill it, but General Zilong must be able to!"

"Shiyuan, no, this is too dangerous!"

"Three generals, tomorrow you can take a soldier to kill from the west gate, pretend to break through and attract the attention of the Hu people, and General Zilong will kill from the south gate, take advantage of the situation to break through, with General Zilong's martial arts, you will definitely be able to fight your way out of the encirclement."

……

On the second day, Zhang Feibing came out of the West Gate, pretending to break through, and was intercepted by the Hu army, and Zhao Yun took this opportunity to kill from the South Gate, successfully broke out of the siege, and went to Chengdu to find rescue.

……

One day. In the blink of an eye. The soldiers and horses of Sanhudi have been besieging Chang'an City for nearly a month.

January comes. The Hu people had carried out several tentative sieges of the city. But none of them worked out. The walls of Chang'an City are tall and strong. The city is rich in baggage. Millions of arrows. In addition, the Shu army was numerous. As a result, the Hu people attacked the city several times. Except for leaving some corpses. Not much was achieved.

Successive sieges were unfavorable. As a result, the Hu people temporarily stopped the progress of the city and began to besiege the city.

Now the Hu people have besieged the west, south and east of Chang'an. Leave the north face. However, to the north of Chang'an City is Weishui. Even if the Shu army broke through from the north. It will also be blocked by Weishui.

The Qians and the Huns are feuding. At that time, the Qians were slaves of the Huns, and the Huns abused the tribesmen a lot. The clansmen suffered at the hands of the Huns. Later, when the tribesmen got rid of the Huns. He also killed a lot of Huns. In order to avoid a fight between the Qiang and the Huns, it is now time to set up camp in the camp. The Xianbei people deliberately separated the camps of the Qianzu and the Huns. The Rang and Huns were on either side. And the Xianbei people's land camp is in the middle.

But even so, the Huns were still not at ease with the Xianbei people, and Liu Bao still sent people to monitor the clansmen's camp day and night, for fear that the clansmen would make any small moves.

"King Zuoxian, I've found out!" One of Liu Bao's generals ran in to see that Liu Bao's face was full of grief and indignation.

"What's the news?" Liu Bao hurriedly asked.

"King, those clansmen were burned by Ma Chao in Liangzhou before, and the grain and grass of the clansmen were not enough to support Yongzhou, but the people of the Qiang tribe caught a lot of civilians, and they relied on eating human flesh to survive to Yongzhou along the way."

"Nonsense! What's new about what you're talking about, I already knew! ”

It is no secret that the Xiongnu people used human flesh as military food to support Yongzhou, and the Huns were so concerned about the situation of the Qian, so they had already inquired clearly that the Qianmen had to survive to Yongzhou by eating human flesh.

"King Zuo Xian, that's not all! Among the people arrested by the clansmen, there are not only Han people, but also Xianbei people, Qiang people, people and our Huns! The general said.

"What do you say, there are also us Huns?"

"King Zuo Xian is not wrong, you see this is this knot that I found in the pile of bones poured out by the clansmen near Xianyang, and it was made by our Huns."

Liu Bao took the knot, and took a closer look, it was indeed a unique knotting method of the Huns.

"Yes, this kind of knot is indeed something that only we Huns can tie...... But with a knot......"

"King Zuo Xian, this is not the only one, I have a lot of them here! These were found in the piles of bones! And I found these things too.

The general said, and took out a large handful of knots from his arms, all of which are unique knotting methods of the Huns, and the other hand of the general, holding several small ornaments carved from animal bones, judging from the style and carving techniques, Liu Bao immediately judged that these small ornaments are the works of the Xianbei people.

At this time, Liu Bao had already believed what the general said, and the clansmen really captured a lot of Huns as military rations.

A strong sense of anger rose from Liu Bao's heart, Liu Bao's eyes widened angrily, and he said viciously: "This group of damned slaves, they should have killed them all in the first place......"

"King Zuoxian, let's immediately order all the soldiers and horses to kill the past and avenge the clansmen!"

"Wait!" Liu Bao suddenly shouted to stop the general, and then said: "Now that the strength of the Qianren is not less than ours, it may be difficult to win if you kill it like this." ”

"So what are we going to do? You can't let your people die in vain! ”

"Hmph, of course I won't let my people die in vain! Don't forget, people have also caught a lot of Xianbei people, and if you want to turn your face with others, we can't do it alone, so naturally we want to

Despicable, I'm going to find Kebineng now. ”

……

Xianbei Ke can be a big camp.

"King Zuo Xian, what you said is true? Shi Yong, that guy really dares to arrest us Xianbei people! Kebineng asked in surprise.

"Shan Yu, how could I, Liu Bao, deceive you! And I still have evidence, you look at these. Liu Bao said, taking out the trinkets carved from animal bones, and then continued: "These are the ones that my people found from the pile of bones thrown by the Xianbei people near Xianyang. ”

"These are indeed my Xianbei people's belongings!" Kobinen gasped.

When Liu Bao first came, Kebineng first thought that Liu Bao deliberately fabricated it in order to deal with the clansmen, but seeing these handicrafts unique to the Xianbei people, Kebineng had to believe that those clansmen really ate a lot of Xianbei people.

Kebineng took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said: "King Zuoxian, this matter is very important, I think it would be better to investigate it in detail, and this matter is related to my Xianbei clan, I still need to discuss it with Bu Dugen." ”

……

Chengdu.

Adou finally returned to Chengdu from Zhongzhong, and when Adou arrived in Chengdu, he learned that Zhuge Liang had also rushed back to Chengdu from Hanzhong, and it had been three days since he arrived.

"Why are you here?" When Adou saw Zhuge Liang, he immediately asked.

Zhu Liang gently shook the feather fan in his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry about Hanzhong, I have already sent Li Yan and Li Zhengfang to guard Hanzhong and coordinate the overall situation. On the contrary, it was the Hu people who entered the customs, and His Majesty was trapped in Chang'an City, which was the most important thing, and Liang also rushed back for this matter. ”

Adou saw the shallow smile on Zhuge Liang's face, and knew in his heart that this old fox must have thought of a way, so Adou opened his mouth and asked, "The prime minister must have a countermeasure in his heart." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded, and then suddenly changed the topic and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have done a good job in this southern expedition." Nanban has always been a big disaster in my Shu land, although the imperial court has conquered Nanban several times, and each time it can achieve results, but this is always to oppress people, not for long, so after the army goes, the Nanban people rebelled. The conquest of the Nanban, when the heart is the first, so that the Nanban is convinced, is the way to long-term peace and stability. ”

Zhuge Liang said, a trace of seriousness suddenly appeared on his face, and then continued: "His Royal Highness the Prince, fighting the world is different from ruling the world. At that time, the Qin people were good at war, and the first emperor was heroic, and in ten years, he ruled the world, subdued the Quartet, and stopped the chaos of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but the Great Qin died twice. In the past, Gaozu established the country, the country was poor and the people were poor, and they were defeated by the Xiongnu in a row, but the Han Dynasty has continued to this day. Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know why? ”

Adou also understood at this time that Zhuge Liang was teaching himself the truth of governing the country, so Adou hurriedly said: "Please give the prime minister advice." ”

"The pre-Qin practiced the way of the Legalists. The way of Legalism is the way of troubled times, so the pre-Qin dynasty became stronger from the Shang monarch's change of law. However, Qin's laws are strict, although it is the way to strengthen the country and the army, it is not the way to govern! ”

"Then may I ask the Prime Minister, what is the way to rule?" Adou hurriedly asked.

"The way of the Great Rule? Hehehe......" Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed, and then shook his head helplessly: "I don't know what is the way to rule." ”

"The prime minister doesn't know?"

Zhuge Liang frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "If I have to say, I think a country, the people are rich and healthy, the government is harmonious, and foreign enemies do not invade; On weekdays, the people are fed and clothed; In a year of great disaster, there is food to provide disaster relief. It should be the way to rule. ”

Adou nodded, but Zhuge Liang continued with a straight face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to underestimate these, from ancient times to the present, no super has been able to do this." ”

"Isn't Yao Shun okay?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head again: "After all, Yao Shun is just a legend, the time is long, what happened to Yao Shun's time, you and I have never seen it, it can only be regarded as an illusory thing, and it should not be true." ”

"Thank you Prime Minister for your advice."

"I can't talk about advice, by the way, His Royal Highness the Prince, didn't you just ask me if I had any way to deal with the Hu people? I have a few things here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take a look at them first. Zhuge Liang said, shouting outside: "Bring it up." ”

Two chamberlains walked in carrying a small case, on which there were naturally objects, but they were covered by a brocade cloth, and they did not know what was inside.

"Prime Minister, what is this?" Adou asked.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will see when you open it."

Adou stepped forward and lifted the brocade cloth, and what caught Adou's eye was a very strange crossbow, there were no arrows on the crossbow, and next to the crossbow, there was an arrow box.

Seeing this crossbow, Adou's mind flashed, could it be the rumored "Zhuge crossbow"!

After a busy day, I will go home tomorrow and take another day on the train.
