In the ninth year of Chenhe, the first month of 221 AD.

Chenhe State promoted Lu Meng to the rank of general, the fourth general of Chenhe State, and the general headquarters of Yizhou and Jingzhou. Mao Luan was the deputy commander-in-chief, leading 200,000 troops, and collecting Hanzhong space to the west.

This year, Liu Bei was sixty-one years old, and there were many generals under his command, but his strength had been reduced to an ordinary county.

Not to mention the three-point world, it is a county in Hanzhong, which only controls half of it, with a population of only more than 300,000.

Originally, the officials in the county were mostly interested in surrendering, but because of this, the former Chenhe Kingdom did not exert pressure, and they were all temporarily peaceful. Now that the army of Chenhe Kingdom is coming, Hanzhong is ready to move.

Liu Bei coerced Zhuge Liang and other civil and military forces, and all 60,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, defended Chenggu County, set up camp, and prepared to meet the enemy.

All the civil and military forces were trembling, Liu Bei raised the account and asked everyone, it was nothing more than Zhang Fei and other generals clamoring for battle, even Zhang Song and others did not dare to speak out.

Even Zhuge Liang didn't make a sound.

Liu Bei had no choice but to retreat the generals, leaving Zhuge Liang to say: "Military advisor, at this time, my Hanzhong is alive and dead, Chenhe State has sent 200,000 elite soldiers and 300 planes to take Hanzhong, how should I deal with it?" ”

Kong Ming shook his feather fan in the cold weather, and arched his hand: "At this time, the country of Chenhe has already swept the world, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist in the land of the projectile in my Hanzhong, so please make other arrangements as soon as possible, or descend or go, only these two roads can be chosen." ”

Liu Bei said: "Don't hide it from Kong Ming, in fact, when Daoist Zuo Ci came here a few days ago, he told me about the situation in the world, and said that within a year, there will be changes." However, in the past year, the country of Chenhe has turned locust plagues into treasures, and in the event of fires, it has called for wind and rain, and all kinds of natural and man-made disasters of all sizes have not been touched. At this time, I also figured it out, as Kong Ming said, Chenhe Kingdom could have swept the world long ago. It's just that for some reason, I haven't made a move on my Hanzhong for a long time, and this time I am afraid that the time is ripe. ”

"Kong Ming, I invited you to Longzhong three times that day, and I sincerely invited you out of the mountains, but I didn't want to really hurt you. Look at your elder brother Ziyu, who is far below you, but now he is the governor of the important place of Chenhe and participates in the center. I'm sorry for you! ”

Zhuge Liang listened to Liu Bei with a handful of snot and tears, thinking about the situation back then, he didn't want it to change so far, and he became more and more suspicious of his talent.

"Lord, since Liang decided to follow the lord, he never thought that he would regret it, even if he died in the troubled times, it was also Liang's own choice. So far today, it is only strange that Liang is shallow in learning, and he has never guaranteed the success of the lord. Today's situation is like this, the people of Shuzhong are panicking, according to Liang's understanding, at this time, the country of Heguo dispatched troops, with aircraft and artillery, as long as it is outside Chenggu City, I am afraid that it is Chenggu City, and even half a day can not be held. But the lord should think of a way out. ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Bei has no way to retreat, and there is no escape." The world is so big, where can you flee to? In case of caution, after Hanzhong, there is the state of Wei. If we flee to Wei, when Luoyang City is broken, how should we deal with ourselves? ”

Liu Bei's eyes were full of helplessness, and Kong Ming said: "Why don't you surrender?" ”

Liu Bei said: "You can surrender, but you can't." On that day, I crusaded against Yang Xi several times, Yang Xi had tried me thousands of miles away, saying that I launched a war against the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and sentenced me to be a war criminal. ”

"In this case, the lord might as well arrange to escape on his own, and from now on stay incognito, or he may be able to survive this catastrophe safely."

Liu Bei's face showed a look of struggle, after all, there was no other way.

"It's easy for me to leave, it's the second brother and the third brother, I don't know what their wishes are. The second brother is easy to handle, and his relationship with Na Yang Xi is good, and he may find a position and have a place to go. The third brother has a reckless personality, and in the previous wars, there were many killings, and I am afraid that there will be no good results. It was when he entered the Chenhe country, how could he stand so many rules, in case of life, but he was a man and a sword, and I was a fish, and he didn't even have the slightest power to resist. ”

Liu Bei was sincere to the two brothers, and when he said this, he was choked up and couldn't make a sound.

Kong Ming said: "The lord doesn't need to worry about this, although my Hanzhong is hostile to Chenhe Country, but I have to admit that the world is benevolent and righteous, and the code of Chenhe Country has been occupied." No matter how big or small, this code is comprehensive, General Zhang seems to be reckless, but in fact he is smart, it only takes some time, he will definitely be able to understand it, he can't be a general, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, his life is worry-free. ”

Liu Bei heard Kong Ming say this, stopped sobbing, and began to talk about Kong Ming himself.

"The military division followed me to fight in the south and the north, governed Shuzhong, logistics Hanzhong, how capable, presumably Yang Xi had already heard of the talent of the military division. If I go now, the military adviser has been delayed for so many years, and I will finally have the opportunity to do my best, and I will be relieved. ”

Zhuge Liang listened to this, and he felt a little warm, but he said in his mouth: "Liang Ben cloth, ploughing in Nanyang, living in troubled times, not seeking to reach the princes." The lord is not despicable to the minister, he is indecent, he looks at the grass house, and consults the things of the world, so he is grateful, so he allows the lord to drive. After the overthrow, when he was entrusted with the defeat of the army, he was ordered to be in danger, and he has been in danger for many years. Although the Lord's career has not been accomplished today, it is also fortunate that Liang can get a clear Lord in this life. When this matter is over, Liang is willing to find another small place, return to the old business, or study, or plough, so that he is also leisurely. ”

Liu Bei listened to Kong Ming's words, from the bottom of his heart, counting the past, he couldn't help but think of Yang Xi's song on the Yangtze River more than 30 years ago, so he trembled and began to sing.

"Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water,

The waves sweep away the heroes,

Success or failure turns empty,

The green mountains are still there,

Several degrees of sunset red.

White-haired fisherman on the river,

Accustomed to seeing the autumn moon and spring breeze,

A pot of liquor is happy to meet,

How many things have happened in ancient and modern times,

It's all about laughing and talking!

Yang Xi had already changed a pot of turbid wine into a pot of liquor, and Liu Bei didn't know the original words of the original author Yang Shen, thinking that it was a pot of liquor, but this was harmless, and it never damaged half of the artistic conception.

The song has an intentional meaning, coupled with the scene at this time, thinking back to the past 30 years, Kong Ming also felt sad in his heart, and the two of them couldn't help but hug each other and cry.

It was at this cry that the sky began to whimper, as if countless flies were hovering over the rooftops.

"What?" Liu Bei was confused.

"I don't know! Lord, go out and have a look! ”

"Good!"

The two ministers went out of the house, looked up at the sky, and saw where there was a fly in the sky, it was much bigger than a fly, all dressed in dark green, and the speed was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was from the edge of the sky to the top of the head, and three hundred planes covered the sky.

"My lord! Presumably that's the plane, it's really magical, with this, it's no wonder that Chenhe can sweep the world, prestige overseas, take India, build Central Asia, it's not a problem! ”

Liu Bei had already guessed, his eyes were full of fear, he was unsteady on his feet, and he took a few steps back.

At this moment, the sound of rumbling sounded throughout the city, and shells were dropped from the fighter planes, and smoke and dust were everywhere on the city walls and in the camp, and wailing was all over the sky.
