Liu Zhang handed the Qiang scimitar he had collected to Guan Yinping, Guan Yinping looked at the bright scimitar, "You are good at everything now, dare to kill hundreds of thousands of people, dare to fight hard with tens of thousands of iron horsemen, have brains, means and courage, the only thing you don't have is scruples, will you have scruples?"

Besides, what do you care about me? Guan Yinping added sullenly.

"If you join the Sichuan Army, it's your business, and you don't want your lord to become a guardian of the corrupt class. If you don't work. Liu Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "You can leave now, I am worried about the province." ”

Guan Yinping hesitated for a while, took the scimitar, and suddenly raised the posture of slashing at Liu Zhang, so startled, he jumped over all of a sudden.

"Go aside, covered in stinky sweat." Liu Zhang pushed it so badly, his hands were also stained with sweat, and when he saw the smooth horizontal flesh that was so powerful, he shook his hands disgustingly.

Guan Yinping held a scimitar and said viciously to Liu Zhang: "If you dare to treat the people badly one day, I will use it to hack you to death." ”

Liu Zhang smiled and nodded.

Guan Yinping put down the scimitar and said melancholy: "But, after listening to what you said that night, the affairs of you princes are not something that my little woman can understand, aren't you afraid that I will be too upright and get in your way?" After all, as a ruler, there are many ways and bends that we ordinary people can't turn around. ”

"Haha." Liu Zhang smiled: "The so-called doorway, the so-called bends that the common people can't turn around, are just lies, they are the fog imposed on the people by politicians who play politics, telling the people what they are doing this for, what they are doing that, in fact, it is just a whitewash that they can't implement benevolent government because of their scruples."

In the end, the benefits are theirs, and the people bear the bitter consequences.

When this scruple and whitewashing reaches a certain level. It becomes political science. You just have to remember that my decree must be for the benefit of the majority of the people, and to achieve this purpose, sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people, but if it is for the sake of a small number of people. At the expense of the interests of the majority, that's when you raise your scimitar. ”

"So?" Guan Yinping raised the scimitar high, Liu Zhang looked at Guan Yinping's serious face, and was delicate in the morning mist, smiled lightly and nodded.

"My lord, the whole army camp tent has been dismantled, and the camp is about to be pulled." Wei Yan came to report.

Liu Zhang nodded, stood up and left. Suddenly, Guan Yinping shouted: "Lord." ”

Liu Zhang looked back at her.

Guan Yinping said to Liu Zhang: "This knife is so blunt, can you change it to a sharp one?" ”

Looking at Liu Zhang's back, Guan Yinping smiled faintly: "For the sake of most of the people...... Lord, if you can keep walking on this road, I will accompany you on the way. Don't avoid all dangers. ”

In Shicheng, Ma Teng's envoy Yan Feng bowed to Liu Bei Zhuge Liang and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong, my lord is in danger. ”

Zhuge Liang took a homemade goose feather fan and fanned it. Walking down the steps, he smiled at Yan Feng and said, "Didn't General Ma already send someone?" Why do you send Mr. again? The matter of Yangpingguan, my lord already knows.

General Ma and our lord are in alliance with each other. Ma Chao is the son of General Ma and the nephew of my lord, General Ma wants to rescue Ma Chao, even if my lord is weak and weak, he will never stand idly by. ”

"Definitely." Yan Feng hurriedly said: "General Ma sent me, not because I can't trust Xuande Gong, but because things have changed, the young general has safely escaped from the mouth of the Sichuan Barbarian, but only thirteen people have been brought back, and now my Ma family has less than 40,000 soldiers and horses, but Han Sui has more than 100,000 soldiers, my lord is really worried."

Only then did he send Yan Feng to form an alliance with Xuande Gong to fight against Han Sui. ”

"Isn't General Han and General Ma brothers?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile, looking calm and calm.

"Hey." Yan Feng sighed fiercely, Han Sui and Ma Teng, the two opposite-sex brothers, are probably the most good-looking brothers in the world, and that is completely for outsiders to see, if there is a foreign enemy, it is a brother, and if there is no external enemy, it is a life and death rival.

Zhuge Liang looked at Yan Feng's expression and said with a smile: "Sir's meaning, Liang already knows, there is no need to make it clear, if there is a gap between General Ma Teng and General Han Sui, my lord will definitely persuade General Han not to use troops."

If General Han insists on mobilizing troops, although it is inconvenient for our lord to meddle in the affairs of Xiliang, General Ma Teng and our lord are mutually beneficial, and they are both people who have received the emperor's order, and they will never let General Ma Teng suffer, General Han is aggressive, and my lord will send troops to help. ”

"Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and righteous, and the world knows it." Yan Feng sighed and bowed deeply to Liu Bei, "So, thank you Uncle Liu." ”

"Slow, slow, slow." Zhuge Liang fanned the feather fan, walked down gracefully and said: "Sir, don't worry, I just said that if General Ma Teng is in danger, my lord will not stand idly by, but haven't Mr. and General Ma thought that there is a better way to avoid getting into trouble with General Han Sui?" ”

"Oh, how to avoid it? I would like to hear Mr. Kong Ming's high opinion. ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Gao Jian can't talk about it, without him, Han and Ma will unite and cut down Sichuan again." ”

"Cutting down the river again?" Yan Feng exclaimed, not only Yan Feng, but Liu Bei also looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise, but Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang said this, it must be reasonable, so he didn't interject.

"That's right, as long as General Ma and General Han attack Sichuan again and concentrate on the outside world, General Ma's danger can be solved immediately."

Yan Feng pondered for a long time and nodded, as long as they join forces to cut down Sichuan, the Xiliang Army will be a rope in the case of foreign enemies, and Ma Teng's crisis can indeed be eliminated, but ......

Yan Feng said to Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Kong Ming said lightly, now that Han Sui's family is dominant, he can't wait to pull all the city warlords controlled by my lord under his command, and it is too late to integrate Xiliang, how can he be willing to cut down Sichuan and provoke the Yizhou butcher in vain, Han Sui has not moved a single soldier before cutting Chuan, let alone today." ”

"Hahahaha." Zhuge Liang laughed heartily: "At this time and that time, General Han was reluctant to cut down the river because he felt that the cut down was not good for him, but today is different, the conditions are complete, and all the water returns to the river, it is a good time for General Han to cut the river."

First of all, didn't General Han Sui want to annex Xiliang? Then you have to stand up before the merger, right? Although the strength of the warlords under General Ma was damaged, it was not necessarily so easy to convince Han Sui, who conquered Sichuanzhong and was ashamed of Xiliang's defeat.

In order to reassure General Han, how about General Ma respecting General Han as the leader of the warlord alliance in Xiliang? Will General Ma be willing to give it up? ”

Yan Feng nodded contemplatively, feeling that what Zhuge Liang said made sense, Han Sui directly conquered the forces under Ma Teng's command, not to eliminate, but to form an authority and let the warlords depend.

Conquer the Sichuan army, win a battle in Hanzhong, and win a battle in Hanzhong, and in the case of the disastrous defeat of Ma Tengxiliang's army, it will definitely be able to gain high prestige.

It is obviously much better than directly attacking the warlords of Xiliang.

And letting Ma Teng respect Han Sui as the leader of the alliance, although aggrieved, is not a big deal.

Zhuge Liang said again: "Secondly, General Han Sui and General Ma Teng have a brotherhood, whether there are some misunderstandings or not, they can't completely cut off the relationship, if General Ma Teng is a warlord from all walks of life in Yongliang, and asks General Han to avenge the defeat of Yangpingguan with great fanfare, can General Han refuse?" ”

Yan Feng was stagnant, if he informed everyone with great fanfare, then Ma Teng's fiasco outside Yangping Pass would be the fiasco of the entire Xiliang Army, as Ma Teng's brother, could he not avenge Ma Teng? Ma Teng sincerely asked for help, and if Han Sui refused, his prestige would definitely be greatly reduced.

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and continued: "Also, now that the Xiliang army has suffered a crushing defeat to the Sichuan army, if the Xiliang army starts infighting and allows the Sichuan army to recuperate, who will be unhappy?" ”

"Who?" Yan Feng asked.

"Does that need to be said? Cao Cao. Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Since the battle of Fancheng, Cao Cao cut the land and offered his daughter, which can be described as a shame in Cao Cao's life, Liu Zhang crossed the two states of Jingyi and connected with the Sun family, which has long been Cao Cao's confidant, and he does not want to pull it out for a day."

In other words, Liu Zhang was Cao Cao's worst enemy.

Cao Cao dreamed of the Xiliang army to attack Sichuan, and now Zhong Xuan is nominally the leader of the warlord alliance in Guanzhong, General Han and General Ma all belong to Zhong Xuan in name, as long as General Ma has the intention of cutting down Sichuan, Zhong Xuan will try his best to promote, with Zhong Xuan's statement, can General Han not scruple about three points? ”

Yan Feng was speechless, he only wondered what Zhuge Liang's head was made of, he came to ask for help, and in an instant, he could come up with so many response ideas, if he was knocked out of his head, he wouldn't be able to think of so much.

Zhuge Liang said again: "Also, in the battle of Yangping Pass, six or seven tribal armies in Xiqiang surrendered to the Sichuan army.

These tribes are all dependent tribes of General Han.

If General Han sat back and watched the Sichuan army defeat Ma Chao and did nothing, those Qiang people who obeyed the powerful would inevitably fall to the Sichuan army, would General Han allow such a thing to happen? If General Han wins the invasion of Sichuan, won't the Qiang people continue to rely on General Han? Will General Han miss such an opportunity? ”

Zhuge Liang said and fanned the goose feather fan, with a pleasant smile on his face: "Sir, with the name of the alliance leader, brotherly love, the prestige of Zhong Xuan, the benefit of the Qiang people, fame, love, prestige, and profit, the four-pronged approach, will General Han not cut down Sichuan?" ”

Yan Feng looked at Zhuge Liang for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands violently: "Oh, Mr. is talented, after listening to Mr. 's words, I feel that Han Sui has to go to Fachuan, I will go back to report to my father-in-law, thank you Mr. Kong Ming for waking up, thank you Uncle Liu Huang." ”

Yan Feng was about to leave as he spoke, and Zhuge Liang shouted loudly: "Mr. Go back and tell General Ma that on the day when the Xiliang coalition army is dispatched, my lord will send troops to help." ”

"Huh?" Yan Feng turned his head, glanced at Liu Bei, who was sitting as firmly as a clock, and said to Zhuge Liang: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses Mr. Kong Ming is willing to help?" ”

Liu Bei now has 10,000 soldiers and horses, which is not a small warlord in Xiliang, but it is not a big one, and Yan Feng knows that it is not easy for Liu Bei to raise such a few men and horses, I don't know how many battles he fought in Hetao and how many bandits and horse bandits he exterminated, so he fed the 200,000 people, and recruited such a small number of soldiers.

The process was really sad, and Yan Feng couldn't bear to ask Liu Bei for help.

Zhuge Liang waved his goose feather fan and said with a faint smile: "At least eight thousand." (To be continued.) )
