For the people, winter is always a long wait, waiting for their crops to save more water and strength in this long winter, so that by the beginning of spring, they can draw out the thick seedlings and grow strongly. [Ran^Text^Library] []-music-wen-small-say-c

In this way, when the harvest is paid, he can save more food, and then he will find a daughter-in-law for his son when the time comes, and he will not be afraid of having more people to eat.

Fortunately, the heavy snowfall that fell for several days and nights not long after the beginning of winter made the people full of hope for this spring.

Zhang Yingying's wind chill also got better a few days after the heavy snow stopped, Lang Zhongling said that Niangniang was Hongfu Qitian, and Liu Chan always felt that it was snowing and killed the germs, but he didn't say that no matter what, Yingying was indeed better, and he was relieved.

Not long after Zhang Yingying's illness recovered, Liu Chan took her back to Zhang's mansion and met her mother Xiahou Juan, who saw her daughter jumping around, she didn't say anything, but her heart was much more relaxed.

Then Zhang Yingying finally got her wish and had a snowball fight a few days after the snow stopped, and the happiest in this snowball fight may not be Zhang Yingying, but the happiest Huang Hao and the group of little eunuchs.

Niangniang was happy, took the snowball and threw it on their heads, the cruel and willful Niangniang in their eyes smiled, they had a reward, looking at the wealth in their hands, the little eunuchs couldn't wait for it to snow every day.

As for the army of the Great Han, they are also training and grinding in this long winter, just like the little eunuchs are looking forward to the snow, they are also looking forward to when they will be able to bloody the battlefield and then build a great cause of their own.

However, just as they were looking forward to it and waiting, spring slowly came with the new shoots quietly poking out from the willow trees.

At this time, in the palace of Chengdu City, Liu Chan stood on the steps in front of the dormitory with his arms crossed, watching with interest Zhang Yingying and several little palace maids chasing the catkins floating in the courtyard with the soft spring breeze, and from time to time there was a silver bell-like laughter.

A gust of wind blew, there was no longer the cold of winter, but warm, Liu Chan couldn't help but close his eyes, let the warm breeze blow across his face, coupled with the sun in the sky that was not too dazzling, he felt that this was a pleasant thing.

At this moment, Huang Hao saw Zhang Yingying who was laughing in small steps, and he also smiled and talked about it, but Zhang Yingying was still chasing the catkins floating around, and he didn't bother to look at him at all, Huang Hao had to laugh awkwardly twice, and ran over to Liu Chan again.

Walking in and seeing Liu Chan on the steps with his eyes slightly closed, Huang Hao quietly walked to the front of the steps and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here." ”

Liu Chan slowly opened his eyes and muttered, "Presumably for the sake of the Emperor's sacrifice in a few days." ”

The festival planned with Zhuge Liang was after the beginning of spring, and Zhuge Liang came to him two days ago to talk about it, so Liu Chan was not very surprised.

Liu Chan was thinking about it, and Zhuge Liang, who was dressed in a gray brocade robe, walked over, but this time there was a person behind him, and because of the distance and his head lowered, Liu Chan couldn't see his face clearly.

Zhuge Liang walked over and saluted Liu Chan, who was standing on the steps and smiled at him, and said, "Your Majesty." ”

And the people behind Zhuge Liang didn't seem as casual as Zhuge Liang, they seemed to be very restrained, and hurriedly lowered their heads and said loudly: "Your Majesty!" ”

"Is that you?" Liu Chan looked at Ma Yan who saluted him, and seemed to remember that he was the first to stand up and support him in the main hall that day, so he was also a little impressed by this person, although he didn't know the other party's name.

Ma Jian lowered his head, but his eyes rolled, and he said loudly: "The next official is Ma Yan!" ”

"Excuse me."

Liu Chan glanced at the other party with interest, smiled and waved his hand, then turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, and said, "Father Xiang is here for the festival in a few days, right?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "This is just one of them. ”

"Oh?" Liu Chan raised his eyebrows and said, "What else is going on?" ”

"The following thing is about Nanchu"

Zhuge Liang said halfway, glanced at Ma Tan beside him, and said to Liu Chan: "Next, let Youchang talk about it." ”

Thinking of Nanzhong, Liu Chan's brows couldn't help frowning, looking at Ma Yan.

Ma Yan calmed down and said: "I just received an urgent report from General Li Yan, saying that a few days ago, Gao Ding, the chief of Yueshan, raised troops to attack Chengdu, and later General Li Yan led the defenders of Jianwei County and Ma Dai's 5,000 cavalry to fight a big battle in Xindao County, and finally Gao Ding was defeated and left. ”

"Humph!"

Liu Chan shook his sleeve robe and said slightly angrily: "It's these thieves in Nanzhong again!" ”

Ma Jian then said: "Yes! The reason why Yong Yan and Zhu Bao dared to rebel so openly was because our Han was weak now and the support of Eastern Wu, and secondly, because of the Yue Shan chieftain Gao Ding! ”

"Gao Ding not only has a high prestige in the clan, but also has a close relationship with the Jianning County clan Meng Huo, and Jianning is located in the depths of the south, and there are swamps and deep mountains These natural barriers, which can be attacked and defended, this is the key to their daring to rebel!"

Liu Chan listened to Ma Tan's analysis, and gradually fell silent, now he felt that Nanzhong was like a nasty fly, although it did not pose a big threat to himself, but the buzzing sound was really disturbing.

"So what do you say?" Liu Chan looked at Ma Yan, who was looking down, "You can't let this group of nasty flies chatter like this, right?" ”

Ma Tan seemed to be waiting for Liu Chan to ask him a way, he smiled and said: "The minister and the prime minister have been thinking about this problem for this time, and the minister only sees that we can use the divisive strategy, and then buy the hearts of all the ethnic groups in Nanzhong!" ”

"Oh?"

Liu Chan glanced at Ma Jian again and said, "What's the difference?" How do you buy people's hearts? ”

Ma Yan's eyes rolled, and he said confidently: "Gao Ding is nothing more than relying on Meng Huo to support him, as long as the two of them turn against each other, it is naturally the best, as for Meng Huo, Su asked the barbarians in Nanzhong to be fierce, extremely righteous, if we can persuade Meng Huo to take refuge, and then treat each other with sincerity, then these traitors in Nanzhong are not to be afraid!" ”

"Humph!"

Listening carefully to Ma Yan's statement, it was reasonable, but after thinking about it deeply, Liu Chan felt that it was all nonsense, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's easy to say, presumably the marriage between Dongwu and Meng Huo also wants to firmly tie Meng Huo." ”

Ma Tan was not unhappy because of Liu Chan's anger, but then said confidently: "If we destroy this marriage, won't the problem be solved at that time?" ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Liu Chan's eyes, he looked at Zhuge Liang who nodded slightly in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then how can this marriage be ruined?" ”

"This"

Ma Yan glanced at Zhuge Liang and said, "The minister doesn't have a complete plan for the time being."

"Alright, alright."

Hearing that Ma Tan had no specific plan, Liu Chan waved his hand impatiently and said, "I don't care if Dongwu and Meng are married or not, when the festival is over, I will personally go to conquer Nanzhong!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty think twice! After all, Cao Wei is still eyeing the north, and the alliance we have just formed with Dongwu now, we can't turn our faces with Dongwu! ”

"Soochow again! Soochow again! Liu Chan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, since he ascended the throne, almost everything is indispensable to Dongwu's obstruction.

Then Liu Chan exhaled a deep breath, gradually calmed down again, pouted and smiled, and said, "Father, let's prepare for the father's festival first!" As for Nanzhong, General Li Yan was ordered to give priority to defense and wait until the festival was over. ”

Seeing that Liu Chan made up his mind, Zhuge Liang was also silent for a moment, and then saluted Liu Chan and said, "The ministers will retire." ”

"It's hard to be a father." Liu Chan also sighed and said respectfully to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a wry smile, and then slowly retreated with Ma Yan.

Only Liu Chan kept frowning and standing on the steps, and Zhang Yingying's laughter could be faintly heard in the distance
