Jia Xu said: "The senior cadres of Bingzhou have been standing still, and they have not been mixed with the Yuan brothers to fight, and there are few soldiers in Bingzhou, and there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Gaogan, and our army only needs to cross the river to attack Jinyang directly from Lishi." ”

Luo Zheng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, our army will not take Hebei now!" ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Please make it public." ”

Luo Zheng said: "Although Yuan Shao is dead, the foundation of Hebei has not been shaken, and most of our army has been dragged in the Central Plains. ”

Jia Xu already understood Luo Zheng's intentions, and arched his hand: "The lord is thinking about it very much, and he has not considered it!" ”

Xun Yu, Fa Zheng, Cheng Ying and others were also frowning and thinking, and gradually understood.

The lord is going to solve Cao Cao first!

Sure enough, Luo Zheng said again: "If Cao Ah doesn't die, the Central Plains will not be able to completely stabilize it." This general decided to take advantage of the civil war between the three brothers of the Yuan family to first concentrate his forces to solve Cao Apu's house, completely stabilize the Central Plains, and then map Hebei, what do you think? ”

Jia Xu first agreed: "The lord has a high opinion, and he thinks it is feasible below. ”

Xun Yu, Fa Zheng, Cheng Ying and others also nodded slowly.

In fact, whether you take Hebei first or destroy Cao Cao first, it is almost the same.

At present, the three brothers of the Yuan family are in a civil war, as long as the division and co-optation are appropriate, it may not be impossible to take Hebei.

It's just that on whether to take Hebei first or destroy Cao Cao first, Luo Zheng and his ministers have differences of opinion, and there is no strategic difference between the two, just a matter of priority, Jia Xu and others are not easy to refute Luo Zheng's face.

Luo Zheng asked again: "How many soldiers does Cao Cao have that can be fought?" ”

Cheng Ying said: "After Cao Cao retreated to Xuzhou after his defeat. I have been recruiting troops, about 50,000 soldiers. ”

"50,000 soldiers and horses!"

Luo Zheng muttered. With a wave of his hand, he said quickly: "Take advantage of the winter to seize the time to reorganize the troops." Troops were sent at the beginning of spring. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone received orders in unison, and some more things were discussed, and then the military discussion ended.

Luo Zheng stopped Jia Xu and asked, "I heard that Zhuge Liang was invited to Chang'an, where is he now?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Xu has donated the house for the lord, and he is recuperating at home today." ”

Luo Zheng said: "How is this person?" ”

Jia Xu said: "There is a talent for governing the country and the world, not under Sima Yi." ”

Luo Zheng nodded, he grew up listening to the legend of Zhuge Liang when he was a child.

However, with Luo Zheng's current status, he is familiar with those legendary characters when he was a child. There is no longer the slightest admiration, but only as a superior person, looking down on those celebrities who have been famous for thousands of years.

Luo Zheng thought for a while and said, "Call Zhuge Liang here, and the lonely king will see him in person!" ”

Jia Xu took the order and sent someone to invite Zhuge Liang.

Not long after, a young scholar wearing a square scarf and holding a goose feather fan followed Xu Chu in.

"I've seen the Dry King."

The person who came was Zhuge Liang, and after going to the court, he gave Luo Zheng a salute. Neither humble nor arrogant.

"You are Zhuge Liang?"

Luo Zheng looked at this ancient minister carefully, somewhat curious, but his heart was very calm.

The person in front of him is dignified, not as handsome and graceful as Zhou Yu. But it is very stylish. did not pretend to be arrogant like some arrogant people, nor did they grovel, and it seemed that every word and deed came naturally.

Do not be humbled by the majesty of Luo Zheng. I am not proud of my talents.

It seems that whether it is facing princes and generals, or ordinary grass people. This is how these people are.

There is a degree of advance and retreat, and he is a talent.

This is Luo Zheng's first impression of Zhuge Liang. And it is a relatively good impression.

"Sit down!"

Luo Zheng pointed to the lower side seat.

"King Xie Qian!"

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and turned into the side seat.

A soldier walked in and offered tea and melons and fruits from the Qianwangfu.

Zhuge Liang looked at the watermelon and muskmelon that he had never seen on the plate, although he was surprised in his heart, he did not rashly ask.

Luo Zheng had been looking at Zhuge Liang, and suddenly asked, "What does Kong Ming think of Guanzhong?" ”

Zhuge Liang said truthfully: "The officials are upright, the people are rich, and the omen of prosperity is also!" ”

Luo Zheng asked again, "How is the Xiqian Military Group?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The monarch and the ministers are united, the money and food are sufficient, the soldiers are strong and the armor is strong, and the strength is nothing but that!" ”

"Good! Very good! ”

Luo Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, as if thinking.

Zhuge Liang's face was indifferent, and he didn't move the tea and melons on the table, as if he was also thinking about something.

After a while, Luo Zheng said: "The lonely king heard that Kong Ming has the name of Wolong, and there is also a person named Pang Tong in Jingzhou, who is also known as the phoenix chick, and the Wolong and phoenix chicks have to settle the world, I don't know where Pang Tong is now?" ”

Zhuge Liang looked surprised and said, "Liang has no contact with Pang Tong, I don't know where this person is now." ”

After a pause, he still couldn't help but ask again, "I wonder how King Qianwang knows that he is under a thin name?" ”

Luo Zheng didn't answer and asked, "Does Kong Ming know Zhou Yu?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and replied: "Don't hide it from the king of Qian, Liang is more than one in Chang'an, your family has not restricted freedom, and has nothing to do with Zhou Yu as a close friend, this person has hills and ravines, and has millions of soldiers in his chest, and if he fights on the battlefield, he is not a handsome talent." ”

"It's a pity that it can't be used by the Lone King!"

Luo Zheng was quite regretful, Zhou Yu's refusal to surrender was indeed a big regret in his heart.

Zhuge Liang was silent, Zhou Yu had a hatred for Luo Zheng for taking his wife, and if he was willing to serve Luo Zheng, then there would be a ghost.

Luo Zheng quickly reined in his mind and said inscrutablely: "The lonely king can know the talents of the world, so he invited Zhou Yu and Kong Ming to Chang'an. Kong Ming has the talent to help the world, but is he willing to sweep away the group with Lone and make the world peaceful? ”

Zhuge Liang said indifferently: "How to do the king of Qian, it is inevitably difficult for some strong people!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Luo Zheng laughed three times, then put away his smile, and said in a deep voice: "The lonely king has the ambition to sweep the world, but those who have great talents cannot be used by the lonely, so they must naturally get rid of it as soon as possible, so as not to leave a disaster in the future." As long as the obstacle can be cleared, General Ben will definitely use any means, and how can he follow the woman's kindness. Talents like Zhou Yu and Kong Ming, if Lone doesn't invite you to Chang'an and keep you to work for Sun Ce or Liu Bei, it will be irresponsible to Lone's soldiers of the three armies and to the tens of millions of people under his rule. ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh, this guy is a bachelor, and he doesn't hide it at all.

If you change to someone else, you must say something nice to make excuses and reasons for yourself.

But then again, from Luo Zheng's standpoint, in order to achieve the goal of unifying the world, even if he uses despicable and vicious means, it can still stand, otherwise, as he said, it is irresponsible to the three generals.

Luo Zheng's eyes were scorching, staring at Zhuge Liang and said, "Can Kong Ming serve the Lone King?" ”

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment before he said: "Liang is shallow in learning, and he is a mediocre person, he is really embarrassed to be useful, and I am afraid that he will have high hopes for the king." (To be continued......) R1292
