A small courtyard in the middle of the city.

"Commander, it's not good, it's not good!" Liao Hao pushed open the door and broke in, holding a portrait in his hand, spread it in front of Zhuge Liang, and said: "The news of your entry into the city has leaked, and now the whole city is searching for you!" ”

"So fast, it's a bit of a surprise, this portrait should be painted by the third child, and the third child's Danqing brushwork has improved!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the lifelike portrait that was exactly the same as himself, and smiled slightly: "The painting is good, and the demeanor and posture are very similar to me!" ”

"Commander, you are still in the mood to look at this portrait now, Zhuge has ordered the whole city to search for it, the streets and alleys are plastered with your title, a reward of thousands of catties, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward, even if we hide deeply, within three or five days, it will inevitably be exposed, I am afraid that it will be a sword and axe at that time!"

Liao Hao said worriedly.

"Liao Hao, don't be in a hurry!"

Zhuge Liang looked at Liao Hao's impatient face, put down the portrait, squinted slightly, and said: "Zhuge Jun can guess that I am in the city, I am not surprised at all, as for him to find me, it is even more delusional, and soon he will be too busy to take care of himself!" ”

"But ......," Liao Hao was still worried.

"No, but!"

Zhuge Liang looked calm and said confidently: "I, Zhuge Liang, dare to enter the city alone, because I am confident that even if I am exposed, I will not be caught by them, but now it is just a move from him, how can we mess with ourselves, how did I let you do what I asked you to do?" ”

"Report to the commander, the granary in the city has been investigated!"

Liao Hao took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "There were a total of six granaries in the city before, but in fact, six of them were fake, there was only one granary, all the grain and grass were concentrated in this granary, and this granary was under the protection of Changle Palace City, there were two thousand county soldiers guarding it, it was difficult to get close, and if you wanted to burn it, it would be even more difficult. ”

"Unexpectedly, how many soldiers are there in Chang'an County?" Zhuge Liang asked again.

"Chang'an County soldiers plus guards, a total of 5,000, of which 2,000 guards guard the granary, and 3,000 county soldiers are under the personal command of Chang'an Captain Jiang Yu, guarding the order of Chang'an City, this person is the first general under Zhuge Jun!" Liao Hao inquired very clearly.

"Anything else?"

Zhuge Liang began to think about it in his heart.

"And one more news!"

Liao Hao thought for a while and added: "As the commander wanted, Zhang He didn't completely believe Zhuge Jun, although he didn't take Zhuge Jun, but he let Xun You enter the county government, obviously as an assistant, but actually as a supervisor!" ”

"Good!"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he suddenly shouted, slapped his thigh, stood up, and said: "Zhang He has taken a stinky move, giving us a good opportunity, and the second step of our trust can begin!" ”

The first step is to walk the gossip.

Cover the whole city with the power of rumors, single out Zhuge Jun's identity, and stir up trust between them.

But that's not enough.

Zhang He, even if they have some doubts about Zhuge Jun, they are not stupid and will not cut off their arms at this time.

If he wants to completely force Zhuge Jun down, he still needs several more steps.

"Please make it clear, Commander!" Liao Hao bowed his head and stood by.

"How are you going to surrender?"

"This afternoon, among the county soldiers of the county government, there are six soldiers under the leadership of the brocade clothes and hundreds of households we have inserted, intending to surrender to our Great Wu Dynasty, and I am going to meet them in person in the evening!" Liao Hao said.

"When you go to meet them, give them a mission!"

"What task?" Liao Hao asked.

"Find a trumped-up reason and kill Xun You!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a ruthless light, and said: "He is dead, even if Zhuge Jun has a thousand mouths, he can't say clearly, he can't do it if he wants to!" ”

"Desperate?"

Liao Hao couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.

"That's right, it's to cut him off, to take the granary as a reason to do it, and to encourage the county soldiers to oppose the Wei army as much as possible, remember, they must do it themselves, in front of Zhuge Jun, some people, just force it, he can make up his mind!" Zhuge Liang snorted coldly.

"Yes!"

Liao Hao took a deep breath and nodded his head, but he was a little worried: "Commander, it's not safe here, you can't live!" ”

"I've thought of a place, the safest place!" Zhuge Liang said.

"Where!"

"I ask you, who led the troops to search us?"

"Jiang Yu!"

"Then the safest thing is Jiang Mansion!" The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth raised a slight smile.

"Jiang Yu's Mansion?"

Liao Hao's eyes lit up.

——————————————————————

In the evening, the sun sets.

Chang'an Mansion.

Above the lobby, Zhuge Jun sat in the first place, listening to Jiang Yu's report, his expression was a little gloomy: "A whole day of searching, nothing to gain?" ”

"Hmm!"

Jiang Yi nodded with a wry smile: "My lord, we have done our best, we searched one-third of the houses in the city on this day, and we checked very carefully, and we didn't find anything!" ”

"If we continue to investigate tomorrow, he must be in the city!" Zhuge Jun is firm in his way.

"No!"

Jiang Yu was ordered to leave.

"Lord Zhuge , I don't understand, how can you be sure that Zhuge Liang must be in the city?" Xun You sat next to him, with some doubts in his heart, looked at Zhuge Jun, and said: "As the main general, Zhuge Liang is by no means an easy person who impulsively gets into danger with himself!" ”

Zhuge Liang, since the first battle of Wuzhangyuan, has become famous.

Even a smart person like Xun Yu didn't dare to underestimate this person in the slightest.

"I just feel it!"

Zhuge Jun smiled bitterly, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "My brother, although I know a little about him, but I can't really figure out what he thinks, but as the rumors spread too quickly, I feel that he is controlling everything in the city, and he wants to drive a wedge between us and force me to oppose Wei and Wu!" ”

"This fang is poisonous!"

When Xun You heard this, his heart suddenly became a little clearer, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "I didn't expect him to come up with such a poisonous plan, in this way, we must find him out, or I will ask Cao Xiu to lead the troops to help you!" ”

"No!"

Zhuge Jun shook his head and said: "Now the soldiers defending the city are already insufficient, if General Cao Xiu leads the army into the city, wouldn't it make one of the city walls empty, in case the Wu army has a chance to take advantage of it, it will not be good!" ”

The soldiers of the Wei army are okay to hold the city wall, but if they want to stabilize the people in the city, they still need to rely on the county soldiers, otherwise Zhang He will not throw a mouse at him.

"Hmm!"

Xun You nodded in agreement.

They really don't have any extra soldiers and horses, otherwise I'm afraid they would have already taken Zhuge Jun.

"Lord Xun, is there something I am more confused about?" Zhuge Jun said suddenly.

"Please!"

"There are some moves of the Wei army today, and a certain family doesn't understand it very well!" Zhuge Jun's eyes widened and he looked at Xun You: "You suddenly concentrated your forces in the northeast corner, why is this?" ”

"Lord Zhuge thinks too much, this is just an ordinary transfer!"

Xun You's heart suddenly tightened, he didn't expect Zhuge Jun's sense of touch to be so keen.

"Hahaha, are you deceiving me that I don't know how to soldier?"

Zhuge Jun said coldly: "Although a certain family has never been on the battlefield, but it can be regarded as familiar with the art of war, even if it is just talking about soldiers on paper, it can be regarded as a little understanding of the meaning of the transfer of soldiers and horses, and when you suddenly transfer troops and horses to the northeast, you should want to give up Chang'an and break through, right?" ”

"Lord Zhuge naturally has a guess in his heart, why bother to say it!"

Xun You sighed.

"I disagree!"

Zhuge Jun was furious, and directly shot the case, shouting: "Hundreds of thousands of Chang'an people shrunk their clothes and dieted to raise granaries for you and others to fight against the Wu army, but you and others want to leave, where will the hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an go?" ”

"Maybe if we leave, Chang'an can be peaceful!"

Xun You's eyes were deep, his face was not shocked, and he said lightly.

"Lord Xun has given up!" Zhuge Jun's eyes widened, and his gaze was a little red.

"Do you think there's hope?"

"Me?" Zhuge couldn't say anything.

What hope is there for sticking to Chang'an?

He wanted to say that even if he made up one, he couldn't get out, Chang'an was a lonely city, and Cao Wei was about to be defeated, and their persistence didn't make any sense at all.

Night is falling.

Above the lobby, Zhuge Jun and Xun You looked at each other, and no one moved, but the atmosphere was very gloomy.

"When are you going to break through?" Zhuge Jun asked weakly.

"Within five days!" Xun You said: "Go north to Luoyang, reinforce Your Majesty, and fight against the water!" ”

"How is Chang'an City?"

"You can do it!"

Xun You looked at Zhuge Jun and smiled faintly.

Dada......

Suddenly, there were bursts of footsteps outside, and hundreds of county soldiers swarmed in.

"Why are you waiting to come in?" Zhuge Jun's eyes swept over, and the two soldiers led by him, one was Xu Tu and the other was Bai Ding, both of whom were Jiang Yi's subordinates.

Xun You raised his head, looked at the county soldiers like tigers and wolves, and suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

"My lord, the Wei army suddenly entered Changle Palace, seized our grain and grass and left!" Bai Dingyu reports.

"What!" Zhuge Jun was stunned.

"My lord, Zhang He and the others deceived people too much, they didn't believe you at all, on the surface they just asked him to stabilize you, but secretly they let Cao Xiu send troops to seize the granary of our town guards, kill us and other soldiers, and want to put you under house arrest!"

Xu Tu had a horse's face, a little fierce, and pointed a big gun at Xun Yu in his hand: "Today I will kill this fang for adults!" ”

When Zhuge Jun heard this, he panicked, turned his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and he stared at Xun Yu deadly: "Lord Xun, if you want food and grass, just let me know, why do you have to be so ruthless!" ”

"Impossible!"

Xun You shook his head, he was also confused, and hurriedly shouted: "Cao Wenlie won't mess around!" ”

"What's going on?"

Zhuge Jun's head was a little confused: "Where is Jiang Yan, let him come to see me immediately!" ”

"Kill!"

Xu Tu suddenly made a move, and the spear in his hand was like a bolt of lightning, which penetrated Xun You's body at once, and blood splattered three feet.

"No!"

Zhuge Jun's pupils contracted suddenly, and he hurriedly shouted, but it was already too late at this time.

Bang!

Xun You's eyes widened, looking at the spear that penetrated his body, his consciousness dissipated bit by bit, and the whole person fell straight to the ground.

He's dead.

Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.

His last thought before he died: How did he become the most aggrieved strategist in Cao Wei?

Swish!

The blood all over the ground made Zhuge Jun's face pale all of a sudden.

He raised his head suddenly, looked at these county soldiers with indifferent expressions and murderous intent, and suddenly understood something in his heart, and shouted: "Xu Tu, Bai Ding, why?" (To be continued.) )
