Chapter 926: Matchmaker

Liu Bei's body was shocked, and he looked at Yang Fu suspiciously.

After talking for a long time, Yang Fu's strategy is equivalent to not saying anything, you have no way out, and you sneak attack a hammer.

Yang Fu smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this section of Weishui from Shangbang to Yongxian, every year at this time, there will be nearly twenty days of ice, and the river surface is strong enough for the army to walk, this is our sneak attack road." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei's face instantly swelled with ecstasy, and he asked anxiously: "Yang Qing, are you serious?" ”

Yang Fu smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, don't forget, the minister is this Tianshui clan, he has grown here since he was a child, and he knows every grass and tree here." ”

Liu Bei's excitement was beyond words, and his eyes looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, nodded and said: "If this is the case, this strategy is indeed a clever plan to turn the tables, but there is still a problem in it, I don't know if Your Majesty has thought of it?" ”

"The problem? What's the challenge? Liu Bei's eyes were blank.

"The problem is in the street kiosk." Zhuge Liang's feather fan moved back to the location of the street pavilion on the map, "Yang Yishan also said that the street pavilion city is a small city, and our 60,000 troops may not be able to defend it, but now we only let 10,000 horses defend it, what if it is captured by the Wei army before we succeed in our sneak attack on Yongxian?" ”

Liu Bei's body was shocked, and his excited emotions were extinguished again, and his eyes looked at Yang Fu.

That's a big problem.

If the street pavilion could not be defended, once the Wei army broke through, the entire Liangzhou would have no troops available, and Su Zhe's army could wantonly attack the city and plunder the land, and feed the war with war, without considering that the grain route was cut off.

At that time, even if Liu Bei captured Yongxian, he could not make the Wei army collapse, but he became a lone army deep into the enemy's territory, and was about to be turned against Guan by Su Zhe, and finally it was difficult to escape the end of being surrounded and annihilated.

Yang Fu seemed to have been prepared, smiled proudly, patted his chest and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to Shoujie Pavilion, the minister has his own way to defend the Street Pavilion City, at least he can hold on until His Majesty succeeds in attacking Yongxian." ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Yang Qing doesn't have any clever plan to defend the city?" ”

Yang Fu didn't say anything, and whispered to Liu Bei in his ear.

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with excitement, and he bit Zhuge Liang's ear again, and asked: "Prime Minister, Yishan's method, do you say it is feasible?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan, pondered deeply, and was silent for a long time, weighing the pros and cons.

At this time, Sima Yi said: "Although the minister doesn't know what Yang Yishan has to defend the street pavilion with 10,000 soldiers and horses, if his method is really feasible, the minister thinks that this is indeed a God-given good policy, which can turn things around in one fell swoop." ”

Sima Yi also agreed, and the rest of the generals such as Zhang Fei were all ready to move.

Liu Bei's gaze looked at Zhuge Liang, although he was waiting for his opinion, but that expression showed that Liu Bei's heart was inclined to use Yang Fu's strategy.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, took a light breath, and said: "Yang Yishan's plan seems to be seamless, although it is still possible to be detected by the Su thief, but this is also our only chance to turn the situation around, and I think it is feasible." ”

He finally made his attitude clear.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and shouted happily: "You have also heard Yang Qing's strategy, which of you is willing to defend the street pavilion for me?" ”

The voice fell, and the generals rushed to fight.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my Xiliang Jian'er to guard the street pavilion for Your Majesty!" Ma Chao also asked Liu Bei to fight.

Liu Bei rolled his eyes a few times, and said happily: "Okay, let Meng Qi and Yang Yishan go to the Street Guarding Pavilion." ”

He was thinking that Ma Chao's two younger brothers died in the hands of Su Zhe, and he had a deep blood feud with Su Zhe, and it was the best to use Ma Chao's hatred to guard the street pavilion.

At that moment, Liu Bei passed down the order and allocated Ma Chao 10,000 infantry troops, and he led 50,000 infantry cavalry regiments to prepare to go south to Shangbang immediately.

The military discussion dispersed, and Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward to stop Ma Chao and said with a smile: "Meng Qi and stay, I have a few words I want to talk to Meng Qi in private." ”

Ma Chao was suspicious, so he had to stay until everyone retreated, even Liu Bei left.

"Chao still has to rush to lead the army to the street pavilion, I don't know what else the prime minister has to order." Ma Chao asked.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The street pavilion is twenty miles away, and it's too late to leave a little later, I want to talk to Meng Qi about your family affairs first." ”

"My family business?" Ma Chao looked dazed.

Zhuge Liang pulled Ma Chao to sit down, and asked with a smile: "If my news is correct, Sister Ling Yunlu is still unmarried." ”

Ma Chao was stunned, nodded and smiled: "Little sister, she has a bit of a strong temperament, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and no son's son can be afraid of her, so she has not married yet, and I am also very sad as an elder brother." ”

"Ling Mei is a heroine, a strange woman in the world, an ordinary boy, of course, she doesn't have the guts, and she doesn't have the qualifications to match the leading sister." Zhuge Liang complimented.

"The prime minister has won the award, I hope my sister can be gentle, and she won't worry about getting married." Ma Chao laughed self-deprecatingly, but he was wondering in his heart what kind of medicine Zhuge Liang was selling in the gourd.

After Zhuge Liang coughed a few times, Fang said: "Meng Qi, since Sister Ling has not yet married, I want to be a matchmaker for Sister Ling, what do you think." ”

"Matchmaker?" Ma Chao was stunned, "I don't know which son-in-law the prime minister wants to connect with his sister?" ”

"This person is the current saint, our Son of Heaven." Zhuge Liang said solemnly.

Ma Chao's body was shocked, and a strange color swelled up in his eyes, and with that surprised expression, he thought Zhuge Liang was joking.

Zhuge Liang said with a straight face: "Since the words are spoken, I won't beat around the bush, in fact, Your Majesty has long admired and liked Ling Mei very much, so I specially asked me to be a matchmaker, hoping to accept Ling Mei as a concubine and form a marriage with your Ma family, I don't know if Meng Qi is willing or not." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao was overjoyed and said in surprise: "Your Majesty really wants to take my little sister as a concubine?" ”

"Then there is still a fake, such a big thing, do I dare to falsely preach the holy decree?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

Ma Chao was happy.

Liu Bei is the emperor, if Ma Yunlu can marry Liu Bei, his Ma family will become a relative, and his status in the court will immediately overwhelm Guan and Zhang, which is the result of his dream.

And that Liu Chan is mediocre, if his sister can give birth to a prince for Liu Bei in the future, with the strength of his Ma family, maybe he can also take the crown prince of Liu Chan.

In the future, Liu Bei will die, and Ma Yunlu will listen to the government as the queen mother, and he will be able to take charge of the court as a relative of the Ma family, what a scenery it will be.

Ma Chao was also optimistic, thinking of the distant future in an instant, and he was a little distracted for a while.

Zhuge Liang saw his expression, guessed his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has great respect for Meng Qi, and it is inconvenient to make a direct order, so I asked me to be a matchmaker to ask Meng Qi what you mean, I don't know what Meng Qi wants." ”

Ma Chao came back to his senses and said busily: "My little sister can marry Your Majesty, that is her blessing, and it is also the glory of our Ma family, of course I have no objection, but it is just a major marriage matter, the parents are in charge, and this matter needs to be approved by the father." ”

Seeing Ma Chao nodded, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Who doesn't know about the Ma family, now Meng Qi is in charge, if you want, General Ma's side, of course, I will personally say it, Meng Qi doesn't have to worry." ”

"In this case, then there will be Prime Minister Lao." Ma Chao thanked him.

Zhuge Liang smiled: "This matter is settled, when we win this battle, we can drink the wedding wine of Your Majesty and Sister Ling." ”

Ma Chao laughed.

At that moment, the two decided on this marriage, and when Ma Chao thought that he was going to become a relative of the emperor, his fighting spirit exploded, and he left with high morale.

As soon as Ma Chao walked with his front foot, Liu Bei's back foot turned out.

Zhuge Liang smiled and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, it won't be long before you can hug the beauty." ”

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction and said: "It seems that Meng Qi has been aroused to fight spirit, the prime minister's plan is really a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone, hehe~~"

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled.
