In fact, in order to avoid the unfavorable situation of fighting on two fronts, as soon as the Wu army made any abnormal moves, the Wei army would definitely give a head-on blow.

When Zhuge Liang's heart turned over the river and the sea for a while, Liu Yong further clarified and said: "Han and Wu divide the world and fight Cao Shun together. It can be agreed that the land of Henan, Qing, Xu and Youzhou is subordinate to Wu, and the land of Yan, Hebei, and Liang belongs to the Han Dynasty, and the land of its Sizhou (Sili School Captain Department) is bounded by Hangu Pass, and the alliance is an oath. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Steady as Zhuge Liang couldn't help but admire, "It is agreed that Han and Wu will be in the world, enjoy the country, and not be afraid of him Sun Zhongmou!" ”

Liu Yong's face was arrogant, and he said firmly: "Of course Sun Quan will be excited!" He will not only be ecstatic, but will also change his previous attitude and fully recognize our dynasty as the successor of the Han family, because only in this way can Cao Wei's sin of usurping power and stealing the throne of God be highlighted! And he, Sun Quan, launched a struggle against the puppet dynasty that stole the Mandate of Heaven, and he is a moral orthodox defender, so he naturally has the name of righteousness, so that he has the title of honor and the truth of dominating the world! ”

"Then Your Majesty, when are you going to send an envoy to the State of Wu to facilitate this matter?" Zhuge Liang stared at Liu Yong's childish face, feeling as if he had returned to the snowy winter twenty years ago, when the water dripping into ice outside, but the first emperor (Liu Bei) worked tirelessly, braved the snow to visit again and again, exploring the way to save the people and help the country.

Scholars, who die for their confidants; Female, for the confidant.

Moved by the sincerity and benevolence of the ancestors, he stirred up the words and threw out a well-thought-out plan for dividing the world.

For the choice of that year, to this day, Zhuge Liang has no regrets. Looking at the male lord, Cao Cao is domineering and ruthless, Sun Quan is narrow-minded and jealous, and only the ancestor is benevolent and generous, and can tolerate people. It is the Bole of his life, and only Liu Bei's pen can paint the grassland where his thousand-mile horse gallops wildly.

It is precisely because of the benevolence of the first emperor that Zhuge Liang is willing to bow his head and assist the young lord to protect the country and this country that conforms to his political ideals.

The political atmosphere of Shu Han, the political rules created by him and Liu Bei, guarded by Zhuge Liang wholeheartedly - strict on the outside and wide on the inside.

He and Liu Bei governed the law strictly, but the rewards and punishments were strict. When it comes to political enemies like Liao Li, he insists on going through the judicial process and only exiles him to Wenshan County.

(Historically, Li Yan lied about the exhaustion of food at a critical moment, and in hindsight, Zhuge Liang did not take revenge with personal anger like Yang Yi, and also went through the judicial process.) led hundreds of officials to impeach Li Yan. When it comes to emotion, tears flow. Moreover, the general is not dishonored, Li Yan is only dismissed from the official position and the people, and his son still continues to be appointed. If you look at the power struggle between Wei and Wu, you can gouge out your eyes, peel your skin, behead all over the house, and wipe out the three clans at every turn, and you can compare the benevolence and righteousness of Liu Shu and Zhuge Liang is not hypocritical. ）

(After being dismissed, Li Yan always pinned his hopes on Zhuge Liang to recover himself, and after hearing that Liang died, he became angry and died.) After Zhuge Liang's death, Liao Li wept when he heard it and sighed: "I am the left man after all!" ”）

Twenty years later, things are not people, and he was born early. Liu Yongzheng, who was younger than himself at the beginning, sat in front of him, talked eloquently, and said this plan to divide the world into two parts!

This made Zhuge Liang have to sigh with emotion, just like seeing the desolation after the prosperity, but showing a little hope.

Seeing that the old prime minister was a little sentimental, Liu Yong replied softly: "I am going to send someone to reveal the tone to Dongwu in advance to test Sun Quan's attitude. ”

"It's good! The stakes are too high to be rushed. Zhuge Liang nodded and calmed down. The minister thought that Deng Bo Temple was quick to think, and he had completed his mission very well when he turned it out, so he would bother him again this time. ”

Liu Yong smiled: "The heroes see the same thing, and I also have this intention." Deng Zhi Deng Bomiao is a talent. ”

"This is thousands of miles away from Dongwu, and I have been going back and forth for several months, and I ask Your Majesty to grant the scepter tomorrow and send Deng Zhi as an envoy."

"Good."

When the matter ended, the night was deep, and under the thick darkness of the night, the wick of the Great Red Palace Candle danced with a dim flame.

Liu Yong couldn't hide his tiredness, and waited wordlessly for a while, without waiting for Zhuge Liang to get up and leave. looked closely, only to find that Zhuge Liang was buried in his eyebrows, as if he was still unfinished.

After another while, Zhuge Liang raised his head: "Your Majesty? ”

Liu Yong replied: "What, is there anything else to do with the prime minister?" ”

"Your Majesty, these days, after thinking about it, I have also figured it out. Nowadays, the Wei thieves are negligent in taking precautions, and the possibility of the success of the sudden Northern Expedition is very great. There is only one chance to raid Tongguan and Whale Swallow Pass, and if you miss it, you will lose it forever, and Longyou is close at hand, and there is always a chance. Therefore, the minister decided to support the surprise attack on Tongguan! ”

"The prime minister supports the surprise attack on Tongguan?" Liu Yong never expected that tonight, Zhuge Liang, who was so calm and calm, would agree with his bold strategy. Happiness came too suddenly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has turned to support." Zhuge Liang only realized from today that Liu Yong's overall view is not inferior to his own, and with a wise and brave monarch as his backing, he should also put aside his worries and give it a go.

"When appointing Li Yan as the imperial historian, His Majesty promised the ministers that the Northern Expedition would be led by the ministers to the north. The minister meant that the fierce general who attacked Tongguan could be Wei Wenchang, but once Wei Yan could not take Tongguan, the minister's army would immediately stagnate and abandon Wei Yan's army. ”

"Yes!" Liu Yong replied quite decisively, without getting out of the mud and water.

The greater the profit, the greater the risk.

If Wei Yan wins Tongguan, he will definitely make immortal merits, and he will be the first meritorious service of the Northern Expedition, and it is not an exaggeration to rank among the princes and feudal households. But in the same way, once Tongguan cannot be conquered, the risk and consequences of failure will also be borne by Wei Yan.

The surprise attack on Tongguan is a road of no return, either life or death!

The next day, the temple

The important ministers gathered, and all the cores of the Shu Han Dynasty at this time were all present.

Liu Yong and Zhuge Liang had already informed them that Shangshu Deng Zhi would send an envoy to Eastern Wu for the third time today, contact Sun Quan, and offer a plan to divide the world in two.

"Qing is going east this time, shouldering the hope of the country, and I hope that Qing will live up to his mission and return from his mission as soon as possible." Liu Yong gently encouraged, and at the same time solemnly handed over the scepter decorated with yak tail hair to Deng Zhi, which was the symbol of the king and the talisman of the envoy.

Deng Zhi wore a new official uniform, and also solemnly bowed to Liu Yong, and then bowed again. He respectfully took the scepter and replied, "The Son of Heaven has commanded me to make his kingdom neither humble nor arrogant, and to glorify my mother." ”

After completing the ceremony, Liu Yong asked, "Is there an eyebrow for the charter of this trip?" ”

"Sun Quan wants to be honored, but he is suffering from the correct name, and the minister should go to the honorific title to throw out the topic in advance, if Sun Quan is interested, the minister will lead to the discussion of the world. If Sun Quan is not here, the minister will not say more. ”

Worthy of being an outstanding talent in foreign teaching, Liu Yong smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I can rest assured that I will go." ”
