In the private room of Wangcheng Huiwen Building, Zhuge Liang picked up a cup of soaked Longjing before the rain, took a sip, and showed an expression of enjoyment on his face, which made him feel that he had returned to the days of seclusion in Longzhong.

It is said that before the rain Longjing is from thousands of kilometers away in the Zhejiang area, is the best in the tea, in this Qilin City each cup can also be sold hundreds of taels of gold, this cup in his hand is still sent by a wealthy businessman who admires him, today specially invited Meng Heng to Huiwenlou to taste together.

"Puyu, but what's on your mind?"

Putting down the teacup in his hand, looking at Meng Heng who was motionless on the other side, Zhuge Liang smiled at the corner of his mouth and said softly.

In the past few days, after a few contacts, the two have become acquainted with each other, and with the similar age, they have begun to commensurate each other with each other.

"The day before yesterday, I submitted a formal application for a meeting to the Honglu Temple in the palace, but there has been no reply so far!"

Meng Heng's face was sad, and when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang and sighed lightly.

At the moment, there is no war in Qutang, and Meng Hui did not come to rush to Sima Yu, the real purpose of his trip was to come to discuss the matter of dog food, and to check whether Sima Yu was worthy of his service.

During the whole year of the second year of the Great Dispute, Meng Hui was fighting with the Hunan army under Zeng Guofan.

Bao Chao, the general under Zeng Guofan, raised 200,000 troops to attack Qutang four times, and was repelled by Meng Heng's army four times, but each battle lasted for several months.

The conquest with Bao Chao forced Meng Heng to massively expand his troops and recruit young and strong, so that the standing army of Kuizhou was maintained at about 150,000, which was a heavy burden for Kuizhou, which had a total population of less than 1 million.

The year-long continuous campaign has caused a large number of laborers in Kuizhou to be transferred, and the fields are deserted and uncultivated, and now the entire Kuizhou is on the verge of running out of food.

It is now August, and once the autumn is over, after the grain and grass in the territory of Zeng Guo are harvested, the Hunan army is afraid that it will soon attack again, and Kuizhou, which does not have enough military rations at that time, will have anything to resist.

"The reason why I didn't reply is because the time is not yet ripe!"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and shook his head lightly.

In terms of marching and fighting, Meng Heng can indeed be said to be a generation of famous marshals, but in terms of wisdom in governing the country, he is still much worse.

"What does Kong Ming mean by this?"

Meng Heng's brows tightened even more, and he asked suspiciously.

"What news has Puyu heard in the past two days?"

Zhuge Liang didn't answer when he heard this, but asked Meng Heng instead.

"Are you referring to Sima Yu's breaking of 400,000 Nanyi?"

Meng Hui frowned and thought about it, and said hesitantly.

In the past two days, the news about Sima Yu's defeat of the Nanyi army in Jinzhou quickly spread in the city, and it spread very well, and even some details of the total annihilation of the Nanyi army, the forced landing of Gaoding, and the capture and surrender of Sichuan City and Pinggang City were clear.

"Doesn't Puyu think this rumor came too suddenly?" Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows, meaning something.

"Suddenly? What does Kong Ming mean? ”

Meng Hui didn't understand what Zhuge Liang meant.

"It's not a rumor, the reason why it didn't spread before was just because the news was blocked!"

Zhuge Liang's face showed a bitter smile.

"Blockade, how can such a big news be blocked!" Meng Heng shook his head and said in disbelief.

"It's impossible for other forces, but it's not necessarily that difficult for the Southern Palace!

The developed commerce and trade under the rule of the southern king have been seen, and almost all of these merchants and caravans are inextricably linked with the Qilin Business Alliance, and the two major spy organizations under the command of the southern king, the outer cabinet and the Jinyiwei, are all developed by relying on the turned commerce.

Moreover, a large part of the people under the command of the Southern Royal Mansion have blind trust in Sima Yu, as long as they control some insiders, they can convey wrong information to the outside world."

Zhuge Liang did a detailed study of the power of the king of the south, and explained to Meng Heng.

"And what is his purpose in doing this?"

Meng Hui was still a little puzzled, if the rumors were true, what was the point of Sima Yu sending people to block the news so hard.

"The purpose? Blockade of the war in Jinzhou, self-directed chaos in the royal city, whoever jumps out first is his target! ”

Zhuge Liang's pupils constricted, sighed leisurely, and said softly.

If it weren't for the news of the large amount of material circulation of the southern king's army by chance during this time, who would dare to believe that the current war in the north of Yongzhou would be deliberately designed by the southern king!

It's not that no one wants to, but they don't dare to believe it.

This is how confident you are in the control of various places to dare to do this, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that it will be a situation of falling apart.

"This,"

Speaking of this, how can Meng Heng not understand, except for shock, he can't say a word.

"Knock knock!"

Just as the room fell silent, there was a crisp knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

After the two looked at each other in surprise, Zhuge Liang said softly.

The door was pushed open, and a sturdy man in a flying fish suit stepped into the private room, looking at the two people sitting opposite the table, a fine light flashed in his eyes, it was Gu Changfeng.

"In Xia Jinyiwei, the commander Gu Changfeng, I have seen Prime Minister Zhuge and Meng Shaobao!"

Gu Changfeng stepped into the room and saluted respectfully to the two.

Although the three of them are not from the same era, Zhuge Liang and Meng Heng are both virtuous ministers who are famous in history and deserve the respect of future generations.

"Commander Gu!"

Zhuge Liang and Meng Heng got up and saluted Gu Changfeng.

"Two adults, the Lord please!"

Then Gu Changfeng hugged his abdomen with his left hand, and pointed to the door of the private room with his right hand, saying the purpose of the trip.

Zhuge Liang and Meng Heng were shocked, glanced at each other, and then went out together and left with Gu Changfeng.

The person in front of him is the commander of the Jinyi Guard under the command of the King of the South, who else can be called the master by him, and at the same time, the hearts of the two of them finally believed Zhuge Liang's guess just now.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

In front of the canyon on the north side of Baofeng Mountain, groups of soldiers of the Nanyi Army walked listlessly out of the mountain forest and walked towards the canyon.

The team in front of him was Ren Guijun who had fled all the way back from Yunlong County.

However, at this time, Ren Guijun no longer had the spirit to plunder Yunlong County, and the faces of all the soldiers of the Nanyi Army were already full of exhaustion, one by one drooping their heads, dragging their weak legs forward, and the team of nearly 100,000 people was crooked and messed up, and all the property looted in Yunlong County before had already been discarded except for gold, and some soldiers even lost their weapons in their hands in order to hurry.

Now all the soldiers of the Nanyi Army have only one wish in their hearts, and that is to go home.

In front of the army, Ren Gui smacked his shriveled lips, looked up at the mouth of the canyon in the distance, and was completely stunned at this look.

In front of the mouth of the canyon, a black ink colored flag of the Eastern Army fluttered in the wind, and under the flag, a group of heavily armored Eastern Army spear and shield soldiers waited in front of the mouth of the canyon, and the tight shield array reflected the cold light in the sun.

Whoa~

The shield array slowly cracked from the middle, and there was a neat rattling sound between the shield movements, and Li Dingguo, the general of Zhengdong in ink-colored armor, galloped towards Ren Gui and them under the support of dozens of generals and personal guards.

"Let's go!"

Looking at the ironclad army array blocked in front of the mouth of the canyon, Ren Gui's face was as heavy as iron, and Li Dingguo, who looked at the leaping out, did not show weakness, and immediately took dozens of personal guards to greet him.

"King Yuewang, I've been waiting here for a long time!"

In front of the two armies, the two stopped at a distance of less than 20 meters, and Li Dingguo arched his hand towards Ren Gui on his war horse and said leisurely.

"The King of the South really wants to kill them all!"

Ren Gui's face turned pale, and he looked at Li Dingguo and gritted his teeth.

"The king of Yue Net, who led his troops to commit my Yunlong, is now accusing my king of killing them all here, what is the reason? Besides, if you really want to kill them all, I'm afraid that the one who will greet the king of Yue Net now is a sharp arrow."

The corners of Li Dingguo's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, and he didn't care about Ren Gui's angry eyes, and said flatly.

"What are the conditions? Just talk about it! ”

Glancing at the Nanyi army scattered like a rabble behind him, compared to the Southern Wang Dongjun who was waiting in front of the mouth of the canyon, Ren Gui had to grit his teeth and endure the anger in his heart and said loudly.

"Leave the food and grass, and everyone can leave safely!" Li Dingguo said lightly.

"Impossible! Without grain and grass, how can we return to Gongzhou! Ren Gui categorically refused.

"If the grain and grass are gone, you can still grab them, but if your life is gone, there will be nothing" Facing Ren Gui's resolute answer, Li Dingguo was unmoved.

"You!"

Ren Gui instantly understood Li Dingguo's intentions.

This is to force them to start a family!

"Everyone leaves the grain and grass, let's go!"

Looking at Li Dingguo fiercely for a long time, Ren Gui finally chose to compromise and ordered the Nanyi army behind him.

Nearly 100,000 Nanyi troops all left all the food on their bodies outside the mouth of the canyon, and slowly passed through the canyon under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of well-defended soldiers of the Eastern Army, and stepped into the land of Changzhou.

"General, will you just let them go?"

Looking at the Nanyi army who was slowly leaving, Xiang Tiao on the side couldn't help but ask softly beside him.

This is nearly 100,000 Nanyi troops, and it is a pity to let them go in vain.

"At the moment, our target is still Changzhou, kill a Ren Gui, Gongzhou will soon have another Yue Wang, it is better to let them do something for us first" Li Dingguo said leisurely when he heard this.

"However, what if Ren Gui and the others reach a reconciliation with the remaining Chengjia army?" Xiang expressed his worries in his heart.

"Don't worry, they can't satisfy the appetite of the Nanyi army. The Nanyi army hit a wall one after another in our hands, not only did not reap the benefits, but also lost tens of thousands of clansmen, and now the elite army under the command of Gongsun Shu has been transferred out, do you say that Ren Gui will let go of the fat in front of him? Hungry wolves can't change their greedy nature, only strength is the root of what can make them succumb."

Li Dingguo shook his head with a smile and said.

He didn't say this to Xiang Tiao alone, but to the generals under his command.
