"The rebels wantonly plundered, there was no military discipline, and it was contrary to the people's aspirations, so they reduced 10,000 people, so that it was only 20,000, and our army recruited 20,000 recruits after a year of strict training and drills, coupled with the existing 3,000 men and horses in Chengdu, a total of 23,000 people, enough!" Kong Ming waved his feather fan.

At this point, Deng Zhi didn't know how to persuade him, there were only more than 20,000 people in the Pingnan Rebellion, Deng Zhi only felt a little unbelievable, but even so, it still did not affect his trust in Kong Ming, he could blindly think that 20,000 people in Kong Ming's hands would be able to quell the Nanzhong Rebellion, not because of anything else, just because Kong Ming was enough.

While speaking, a small guy walked in respectfully with his head down, and said to Kong Ming, who was at the top: "Prime Minister, General Zhaowen is here!" ”

Hearing this, Kong Ming was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted and said, "Where is the person at this time?" ”

"Waiting in the lobby!"

After listening, Kong Ming's face changed, and he scolded angrily: "Nonsense, it's not been a day or two to follow Liang, how can you still be so ignorant of the rules, and let General Zhaowen wait!" ”

With that, Kong Ming and Deng Zhi hurriedly walked towards the lobby.

In the lobby, an old man is leaning on a hollow cane, looking around at everything around him.

"Don't blame the machine, don't blame the machine! The people below are ignorant and neglect the machine, which is really Liang's fault! ”

Before the person arrived, the sound arrived first, and then I saw Kong Ming walking quickly, and saw the old man clasping his fists and worshipping.

The old man is General Shu Zhaowen, Yi nationality, Yi Jibo, now he is over sixty years old, and the second half of his life is completely dedicated to the great cause of the first emperor Xinghan, as the so-called no merit and hard work, for this kind of old minister, even if the official position is lower than Kong Ming, Kong Ming does not dare to slack off, after all, this is about etiquette, righteousness and shame, how can Kong Ming, who has read the scriptures, not know what to say.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, it's the old man who came to visit suddenly, and it seems reckless!" Yi waved his hand again and again.

"Uncle Ji, please take a seat, Ah San, don't hurry up and watch the tea!"

"I have heard that the prime minister is honest, but now I see that there are no noble and luxurious things in the prime minister's mansion, all of them are simple and simple things, but they are not unambiguous in the room, which is not simple!"

"Ji Bo praised it, now that the great cause has not been accomplished, how can Liang have the face to enjoy it!"

Hearing this, Yi Yuan laughed loudly: "If all the ministers in my Shu are like the prime minister, why worry about the great cause!" ”

"Calculate carefully, since we entered Shu with the first emperor, to this day, this is the first time that the old man has come to visit the prime minister, don't blame the prime minister!"

"Hugh is going to say so!" Kong Ming raised his hand.

"As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you can't go to the Three Treasures Palace, but the old man actually has something to discuss with the prime minister this time."

Kong Ming said: "Uncle Ji, please speak!" ”

"This is what His Majesty handed over to the old decay today, I don't know what the Prime Minister thinks." Placing a document in front of Kong Ming's case, Yi Ji then spoke.

A trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and between that, Kong Ming picked up the paperwork and flipped through it, and then saw that his eyes were wrinkled, and he immediately asked, "Is this what Your Majesty meant?" ”

"Naturally!"

After pondering for a moment, Kong Ming said: "Since Your Majesty wants to recruit soldiers, let me order it to be executed!" ”

"Then ......," Yi Ji wanted to say and stopped.

Since the New Deal, Iraqis have been in charge of population reform, and have also become population leaders, undertaking a series of matters such as household registration.

And now that he has received the conscription of His Majesty and the Prime Minister, he can't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he came here to discuss.

"There is no need to be embarrassed, since Your Majesty wants to recruit troops, let them be recruited, fortunately, there are only two thousand, and coordination and coordination will be available." Kong Ming said a little unconcerned.

"In that case, then the old decay will arrange it first!"

At this time, far away in Jiangdong, Jianye, Wu Wanggong.

Sun Quan, who had a heroic face and an extraordinary momentum, was looking at a secret report intently.

After a few moments, he handed it to a scholar-like person.

"Bo Yan, I really let you say that Shu actually repelled Cao Wei, Nanban and other armies, and now is implementing a new policy to restore national strength."

The scholar is now the governor of Eastern Wu, Lu Xun, in fact, he already knew what Sun Quan said before, although Lu Xun had some guesses about this result, but he was not convinced, and he never expected that Shu would win, which made him have to pay more attention to Zhuge Liang.

Lu Xun bowed to Sun Quan and said: "Now that Shu has repelled the Wei coalition army, Wei is busy with internal stability in the short term, and will not send troops easily, and Shu has passed the most difficult period." ”

"Don't they still have the South Central problem? Now Yonghong, Zhu Bao is still in the south and looking north, and it will take a while for Shu to be stable. Sun Quan said.

"The king, Yonghong, Zhu Bao and others are difficult to achieve great things, now Shu has survived the crisis and repelled Wei, but this does not affect the current national strength of Wei, Wei is still stronger than Wu Shu, and the king should unite with it to fight against Cao Wei!"

"As for Yonghong, Zhu Bao and his ilk can't bring substantial benefits to the king, it's better to give up to gain the favor of Shu." Lu Xun said.

In fact, at this time, Yonghong and Zhu Bao had surrendered to Wu, but due to the fact that geographical conditions did not allow it, they could not be connected for a while, because of this, Shu did not recognize Yonghong and Zhu Bao's identity as Wu on the one hand, and on the other hand, actively prepared to recover the land occupied by the rebels.

"Uncle Yan, the two of them are now lonely, and they oppose them not paying attention to them, not providing them with shelter, if it spreads, wouldn't it hurt the hearts of others to come down."

Hearing this, Lu Xun defended: "The king's words are wrong, Yonghong and Zhu Bao saw the great momentum of Shu when Liu Bei was there, first descended to Shu, and then saw that Liu Bei's soldiers were defeated and seriously ill, so they secretly hid their thoughts, as soon as Liu Bei went, he immediately jumped out to rebel, such a treacherous villain is far from worthy of the king's care." ”

"But ......"

Seeing that Sun Quan was a little hesitant, Lu Xun said again: "King, there is a Shu country between our army and Yonghong and Zhu Bao, and it is difficult for the two parties to take care of each other, and it is difficult to transmit information, so it is not worth the king's labor at all." ”

"But then again, Bo Yan, how did you guess that the Shu State would win, especially the offensive of the Wei State, just when everyone was not optimistic that the Shu State could win, you thought that the Shu State would win."

"There is no other reason, just because Zhuge Liang is a person who is good at creating miracles, in the past, the Metropolitan Governor and his miracles were created on the edge of the Red Cliff, at that time, many people were not optimistic that we could win Cao Cao, only Zhou Yu and this Zhuge Kongming were convinced that they could win, so the minister also secretly guessed that he could also create miracles this time!"

"The king has never remembered that the governor of Lusu once said, if I want to survive forever, I must unite the weak and fight against the strong. When Liu Qiang and Cao were weak, they joined Cao to fight against Liu! In this way, I can be invincible! ”
