Xu Du. Cao Cao's Chamber.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ma Hong has attacked Yizhou, what should we do? Tell me what you think! ”

"Lord, Ma Hong attacked Yizhou, why don't we take this opportunity to attack Hebei?" Cheng Yu was the first to stand up and propose.

Guo Jia also stood up and said: "My lord, right now, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan in Hebei are fighting, and the senior cadres of Bingzhou and Yuan Xi of Youzhou are watching the fire from the other side, and they will not help either of them, if we take the opportunity to attack Yuan Shang now, the two of them will definitely help Yuan Shang." Missing the last opportunity, our army suffered serious losses, and it was impossible to take Hebei in a short time. ”

Xun You also stood up and said, "Seconded." ”

Cao Cao touched the sword marks left by Ma Hong on his face, and said, "Do you also support Guo Jia's opinion?" ”

Xun You said: "Yes. ”

"We shouldn't attack Hebei, what do you think we should do? Wait-and-see? Cao Cao asked.

"Attack Chang'an, we attack Chang'an from the north, return the other way, Ma Hong fights on two fronts, if Chang'an is in an emergency, he will definitely support Chang'an, then Hanzhong and Chang'an have a steep road, he goes back and forth, it will be difficult to try Yizhou again."

Cao Cao nodded and looked at Xun Yu and said, "Xun Yu, what do you think?" ”

Xun Yu walked out and said: "What you said makes sense, now we should indeed deal with Ma Hong, but we can't attack Chang'an." ”

"Why?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia and Xun Yu also looked at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu stroked his short beard and said: "Gongda also said that Chang'an and Hanzhong are separated by lofty mountains and mountains, and Ma Hong will definitely lose more than he gains when he comes to support Chang'an, so I don't think Ma Hongding will support Chang'an, because he has made full preparations and left enough troops to contend with us, if our army provokes a decisive battle, the two decisive battles will not be beneficial to us and Ma Hong." ”

Cao Cao said: "Don't attack Chang'an, isn't it?" ”

"I suggest entering Nanyang County?" Xun Yu said.

"Attack Liu Bei? Liu Bei now occupies the four counties of Jingzhou, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat them for a while. Guo Jiadao.

"I'm talking about entering Nanyang County, not attacking Nanyang County, not attacking Nanyang County, since Liu Bei has already occupied the four counties of Jingzhou, how could he not want to completely occupy Jingzhou, if we cooperate with Liu Bei now to jointly take Jingzhou, we will only ask Liu Bei for Nanyang County, and the rest of the territory will belong to Liu Bei, I think Liu Bei will definitely consider it." Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao touched the scar on his face and said, "Liu Bei hates me to the bone, will he cooperate with me?" ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly and said: "Hatred is only a part of people's feelings, in the face of huge interests, what is hatred?" Now Ma Hong is powerful, if Liu Bei allows Ma Hong to take Yizhou, then he Liu Bei should know very well that Ma Hong's next target is Liu Bei. ”

"Lone actually doesn't want to cooperate with Liu Bei, but when he does extraordinary things in extraordinary times, who should he send to persuade Liu Bei to be suitable?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, there is a candidate." Xun Yu said.

"Who?" Cao Cao asked.

"Xu Shu."

"Xu Shu and Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang are brothers in the same sect, this is very good!" Cao Cao laughed.

When the council ended, the crowd dispersed.

Guo Jia and Xun Yu walked together, walking on the ground paved with green bricks, grass grew between the cracks of the bricks, it was late autumn, the grass was yellow, and suddenly the grasshopper jumped out of the dead grass and fell in front of Xun Yu's feet. Xun Yu raised his foot to avoid the grasshopper and walked over, Guo Jia stepped on the grasshopper and followed.

"Wen Ruo, persuade the lord to unite with Liu Bei, this move is dangerous and dangerous."

"That's the best way to break the deadlock, isn't it?"

"If Liu Bei really unites with the lord, then he must give way to Nanyang County, do you think Liu Bei will be willing?"

"Huh! Fengxiao, why don't we take a gamble? ”

"Humph! Wen Ruo, I bet I've never lost. ”

"Seems so, but you haven't made a bet with me, do you want to give it a try?"

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and wiped his unwashed hair, put his fingers on the oil, put it in front of his nostrils and sniffed it: "Do you really want to gamble?" ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Guo Jia's shoulder and said, "Fengxiao, it's time to wash." ”

"Oh! Wen Ruo, I won't bet with you this time. ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly, bent down, patted the dust on his clothes, stretched out his hand and slowly pulled out the grass in the gap between the green bricks, handed it to Guo Jia and said, "Why, don't you bet with me?" ”

"There's no reason, I just don't want to bet with you."

A gust of wind blew, Xun Yu squinted at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia's dandruff was blown out by the wind.

"Autumn is the harvest season." Xun Yu said.

"Of course, that's also the season of the heaviest breath of death."

Nanyang County, Wancheng.

Zhuge Liang sat on a chair under the cherry blossom tree with a lupine fan, and the sunlight shone on his face through the gaps in the leaves.

"Husband, what are you thinking?"

Huang Yueying sat on a stool not far from Zhuge Liang, her face covered with a layer of purple light veil, holding a short knife and sharpening a bamboo, without looking up.

"You didn't look at me, how do you know I'm thinking about something?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Huang Yueying suddenly threw the bamboo pole in her hand at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang caught the bamboo pole and asked, "What's wrong?" Angry? ”

Huang Yueying got up and stood on the square bench, tiptoed to pluck a cherry blossom from the cherry blossom tree, and then walked up to Zhuge Liang and handed the cherry blossom to Zhuge Liang.

"Senior Brother Ma seems to have said in his letter more than once that when the cherry blossoms bloom, he must come and see them."

Zhuge Liang took the cherry blossom, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, squinting his eyes slightly.

"This is a late cherry blossom tree, with a late flowering period, but unfortunately Ma Hong has never seen it in the future." Huang Yueying said.

"yes!"

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan, a gust of autumn wind blew, the cherry blossoms on the trees flew in the wind, rolled up the young woman's purple skirt, she brushed her hair, and slowly knelt down in front of Zhuge Liang.

"Husband, the chair I make now is much more comfortable than the chair Ma Hong gave you, why do you still sit on this chair?"

Huang Yueying stretched out her hand and stroked the wooden chair made of pine wood.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Actually, I lied to you." ”

"What did you lie to me?" Huang Yueying asked.

"Actually, this pine chair was not given to me by Senior Brother Ma, I stole it from him." Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Oh! Do you prefer stolen things? ”

Huang Yueying blinked her eyes and looked at Zhuge Liang, a cherry blossom fell, landing on the tip of Zhuge Liang's nose, she stretched out her hand and gently pinched the cherry blossom.

"It seems to be true." Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand and stroked Huang Yueying's hair, and said slowly.

"So, do you want to steal from Ma Hong again?"

"How do you know, ma'am?"

"Your palms are sweaty, you must be afraid of being discovered!"

"How do you know my palms are sweaty? I'm obviously touching your hair. Zhuge Liang said.

"Really? Are you sure? ”

Zhuge Liang went to look at his hand and found that his right hand was caressing Huang Yueying's face, and he didn't know when he had taken off the purple light veil and caressed Huang Yueying's half of his face. The right side of the face is a shocking burn.

"When you're always thinking about things, you don't know what your hands are doing?" Huang Yueying said.

"Madame's lesson is that I will change."

"It's been a long time since I've been to Yicheng to see peach blossoms." Huang Yueying said.

"Cherry blossoms should look better than peach blossoms!"
