Zhuge Liang was relieved at this time, and he was afraid that Cao Xian would help Cao Cao, as for the Sichuan army, unless Zhuge Liang was really a monster, a person who was forced to marry, or the person who killed Cao Xian's fiancé, Zhuge Liang never imagined that Cao Xian would help the Sichuan army.

With Cao Xian's character, it is never an exaggeration to have so many festivals and the Sichuan army. Zhuge Liang did not doubt this.

Cao Xian looked at the general who was slowly calmed down after being surprised, and said solemnly: "This time I escaped marriage, but I was captured by the Sichuan army, I was false to Liu Zhang, taking advantage of the chaos in Chang'an to absorb the displaced people in the city, and then fled in disguise at night, but I accidentally heard a shocking secret, which was the top secret military plan of the Sichuan army. ”

"Top secret military plans?" All the generals were solemn, Zhuge Liang also listened carefully, and thought in his heart whether the Sichuan army still wanted to take a military attack on Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and the Sichuan army made such a big move to shrink the defense, could it be that it wanted to advance but retreat? That's too much to pay, isn't it?

But I heard Cao Xian say: "I didn't hear the specific plan, I only heard that the Sichuan army is going to do something to us, and the scale of this dispatch will be very large, it should be to pull us out in one fell swoop." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard Cao Xian's words, the Sichuan army was going to move troops against the Di people, and it was a large-scale dispatch, and now the Di people controlled the Hetao area, but they were far from taking root and were still facing strong pressure from Xianbei in the east.

Zhuge Liang thought about it carefully, and really felt that it was very likely that after the Sichuan army contracted its defense, it would be separated from Cao Cao in a Central Plains, and there would be no soldiers at all, and Sun Quan in Jiangdong was even more slumped. The strength of the entire Jiangdong is less than one-tenth of Jingzhou.

It can be said that the Sichuan army is not threatened at all now. And now the only hidden danger that the Sichuan army faces if it wants to recuperate is the Di people in the north. Because everyone knows that Zhen Lanying and Liu Zhang are life and death enemies.

It is certainly not a simple matter for the Sichuan army to attack the Di people now, even if the foundation of the Di people is unstable, even if there are Xianbei people to contain it, if the Sichuan army wants to come out of the Great Wall and fight the Di people, it is impossible not to send a large army, and it is impossible to completely destroy the Di people.

And the most important thing is that Zhuge Liang knew that the Sichuan army had less food and grass, and it was very unwise to attack at this time.

According to common sense, the Sichuan army should not attack the Di people at this time. But Zhuge Liang thought of Nanban and Xiqiang, these two wars were not sent by the Sichuan army when it was very weak and completely wiped out, and these two wars were also for recuperation.

In other words, with Liu Zhang's character, in order to let the Sichuan army recuperate, it is really possible to destroy the Di people first, and what Cao Xian said is by no means unreasonable.

"Hmph, no matter how strong the Sichuan army is, if you want to destroy our Di people, Liu Zhang still lacks a good pair of teeth." A Diren general said hatefully.

All the generals knew that the generals were angry, and it was very difficult for the Sichuan army to destroy the Di people. However, as long as the Sichuan army starts a war with the Di people, the eastern Xianbei will definitely take advantage of the fire to loot. At that time, the Di people were facing attacks from both sides, and even if they were not destroyed, they could not recover at all.

It is very likely that the Di people returned to the era of the Di people before Zhe Lanying, scattered everywhere, and could never rise again.

"Chief, I heard that the Sichuan army is going to lead the army west to conquer the rising Shache, is this the smoke released by the Sichuan army?" Zhuge Liang asked, although Zhuge Liang asked, but Zhuge Liang did not believe the Sichuan army's bluff.

The Sichuan army can pretend to go to the Western Regions, and then pretend to destroy the people and destroy the Di people, which can be regarded as a surprise attack strategy.

But once this plan is implemented, what if the people are destroyed? The prestige of the Sichuan army will be completely destroyed, because the Sichuan army made such a big noise to attack the Western Regions, and said that it was for the Shu merchants, and that it was to assist the vassal states of the Han Dynasty, and that it was to defend the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty.

If it turns out later that this is an oolong, Liu Zhang did not go to the Western Regions at all, but to destroy the Di people, then the Sichuan army is nothing, you must know that even if it is the current territory of the Sichuan army, although the concept of the clan is weakened, the loyalty to the emperor of the Han Dynasty is not so high, and it is basically loyal to Liu Zhang.

But the Han Dynasty, regardless of the clan, the people, or the businessmen and officials, all regard the Han as the motherland, and the word Dahan is enough to make them proud, if Liu Zhang jokes about the word "Dahan", it will be a bit big.

This is much more serious than the failure of the Sichuan army to conquer the Western Regions. Zhuge Liang believes that Liu Zhang can't be so stupid, if he is so stupid, then there is no Liu Zhang in the world today, let alone the number one prince in the world.

And the reason why Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Zhang would not bluff and still asked, was not to doubt what Cao Xian said, Cao Xian said that he escaped from Chang'an, and that the Sichuan army was going to attack the Di people, Zhuge Liang did not doubt it, because there were enough reasons to support it.

But Zhuge Liang still suspects that it is because Cao Xian said so many reasonable things to get together, which is very strange, if it weren't for the fact that Cao Xian would not help Liu Zhang, Cao Xian and the Sichuan army are mortal enemies, Zhuge Liang would even suspect that Cao Xian was going to betray the Di people, but Cao Xian was the leader of the Di people, which was ridiculous.

Zhuge Liang only had a little doubt, so he asked this tentative sentence, if Cao Xian replied that the Sichuan army was indeed bluffing, Zhuge Liang would still not suspect Cao Xian, but he would definitely think that Liu Zhang deliberately put the news to Cao Xian, and then deliberately let Cao Xian escape from marriage.

"It shouldn't be smoke." Cao Xian said affirmatively: "As far as I know, on the day I left Chang'an, Zhao Yun, the general of the Sichuan army, selected elite troops in Chang'an to prepare for the westward expedition to Loulan, and the commander who really wanted to attack my Di people was Zhou Budo. ”

Zhuge Liang listened to Cao Xian's words, and finally became solemn, it seems that the Sichuan army is really going to attack the Di people, "Zhou Budo", Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and then remembered that it was the person who overthrew the great Confucian Xu Jing in the first four imperial examinations, and later the Chengdu counterinsurgency also had the shadow of this person.

Zhuge Liang faintly felt that this Zhou Budo was a capable person, but because Zhou Budo had never appeared on the table of the Sichuan army, he was not sure.

And one of the generals asked: "Who is Zhou Budo?" ”

"It's a fifteen-year-old boy who has been following Liu Xun, and now Liu Xun is in charge of Chang'an, and this person has been giving advice." Cao Xian said.

"Fifteen? Just an adult? Everyone wondered, they would never think that such a young person could have any ability.

"Alright." The general of the Di people, Ake, stood up, saluted Cao Xian and said, "Chief, whether it is a talent or a milky smell this week. But if the Sichuan army really does something to us. An army of about 100,000 must be dispatched. They are all our henchmen, but we are now not only facing the eastern Xianbei, but also lacking skills.

There is also a hidden danger, that is, the Pu Qianguo in the west, which was originally a protectorate of the West Xianbei and returned to the mud, and now we occupy the Hetao, and we were originally submissive to us, but after finding that we were not strong enough and were threatened by the East Xianbei. It was out of our affiliation.

That's not all, this time the intelligence obtained, the king of the former country of Pu also reached an agreement with Dongxian Bei Ke Neng, to unite the country after Pu, the former country of the car division, and the country after the car division to jointly attack us, which is a big trouble.

If the Sichuan army arrives, we will be attacked on three sides, and the situation will be very unfavorable to us. ”

With a "snap", Cao Xian slapped the table and stood up. His face was full of anger and momentum. "Pu Country, the small tribe also dares to offend my Di army, do you think that I am easy to bully?"

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect Zhi Lanying to be so angry, and they understood in a blink of an eye, the Sichuan army was the mortal enemy of Zhe Lanying, and now at the juncture when the Sichuan army was going to attack, Pu Zhiguo actually wanted to take advantage of the weakness to attack, and it was strange that Zhi Lanying was not angry.

In fact, Zhe Lanying heard from the intelligence of the Sichuan army in Chang'an that Pu wanted to unite with several other countries to rebel, and she knew it, but she still said angrily: "Mr. Zhuge stayed in Hetao, Ake, and ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I want to personally recruit Pu class." ”

Everyone was shocked, the country of Pu was very small, but the country before Pu, the country after Pu, the country before the Cheshi, the country after the Cheshi, and several other small countries were all forcibly split out of the former Cheshi country under the blow of the Han Dynasty.

The Che Division was originally one of the top powers in the Western Regions, and if they really joined forces, if they wanted to destroy them, Zhe Lanying's 20,000 army was quite conservative.

But how could the current Di people use 20,000 troops against a small country, as soon as the Di people moved, Dong Xianbei would immediately attack the Hetao, and all the generals would dissuade Zhi Lanying.

Zhi Lanying finally frowned and said: "Okay, now that the Di people are attacked on three sides, it is not suitable for the army to go out, but even so, a small Pu country will be wild, if we let it go, we will never be able to gain a foothold in the grassland."

Pass the order down, closely monitor the line of the Great Wall, if the Sichuan army arrives, immediately raise troops to meet the enemy, and Mr. Zhuge and I will stay in the Hetao to prevent Dong Xianbei from attacking, Ake. ”

"Yes." Ako beats his chest and prays.

"The former country of Pu is still persuading other countries to rebel, and the coalition has not yet been formed, you immediately gather five thousand soldiers and horses, and each knight prepares three fast horses to sneak attack Pu as quickly as possible, and take the former country of Pu in one fell swoop before the other countries of the chariot division react." Cao Xian said coldly.

"Yes."

Ah Ke took the order out, and Cao Xian stopped him and said, "After you order all the soldiers and horses, come to me." ”

Ako was stunned for a moment, and immediately agreed.

Zhuge Liang on the side nodded, Cao Xian is going to cut through the chaos quickly, and the rapid raid will destroy the country before the countries of the Cheshi can react, kill the country of Pu, kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and the western threat will be eliminated.

It seems that Cao Xian was able to come to this point and occupy the fertile area of the Hetao and the small half of the grassland, not without reason.

It's just one man and three horses, can the cavalry of the Di people be so easy to control? Although it is very fast to change horses without changing people, if you can't take three horses with you, it will be even slower.

Not to mention the distance of the sneak attack on the cattails, although the two horses may get tired if they don't stop for a moment, but the endurance of the Mongolian horse breed is very good, and it doesn't take much trouble to reach it quickly.

Zhuge Liang didn't quite understand why Cao Xian used three horses, but thinking of Cao Xian's eagerness to exterminate the cattails, he could barely explain it.

The Di people released a large number of rangers to the east and south, as long as the Xianbei army and the Sichuan army moved, they could immediately know that Ake ordered the troops and horses to come to Zhe Lanying's camp tent, and there was only Zhi Lanying alone in the camp.

When Zhe Lanying showed a letter to Ah Ke, Ah Ke's face was full of horror, and Zhi Lanying burned the letter paper and sent Ah Ke away.

Thirty miles outside the Great Wall in the north of Liangzhou, an army dressed in grassland clothing rested, it was the army led by Liu Zhang, 6,000 rattan armor troops, 1,000 archers, 1,000 white pole soldiers, and 2,000 Dongzhou soldiers, a total of 10,000 people.

This army set off earlier than Zhao Yun's army, and it galloped all the way to Chang'an, and now Zhao Yun's army may have just arrived at the Yellow River, but this army has already left the fortress.

"Report, a cavalry has come from the east, one man and three horses, and they have found our rangers, flying five-colored flags." A cavalryman Pegasus came to report.

"It's Zhelan's army."

Liu Zhang, who was sitting on the grass, stood up, Qu Lingchen, Xiao Furong, Vulture Bone, Su Lan, and King Mulu all stood up.

If the army of the Di people arrives, Liu Zhang will order a formation, who knows if there is an accident in Zhi Lanying, but Zhuge Liang will deceive, although Liu Zhang does not believe that Zhuge Liang will see it, as long as Zhuge Liang still thinks that Cao Xian and the Sichuan army are mortal enemies, he can't see it, but there is no big mistake in being careful.

However, Ah Ke was obviously instructed by Zhe Lanying to come to the predetermined joint location, and Ah Ke only brought four guards such as the original Dada Ranran.

"Zuo Shuai Ake, meet the King of Shu." Ah Ke saluted first, and the four guards behind saluted, and when he learned from Cao Xian that the Beigong Yu was Liu Zhang, Ah Ke couldn't believe it, but he couldn't believe it.

At the beginning, Ake's impression of Liu Zhang was still very good, and when Beigong Zhi died, Ake was still sad, but who knew that it was not Beigong Zhi at all, this time Zhe Lanying said that he wanted to cooperate with the Sichuan Army, which was exactly what Ake wanted, but it was not only because he had a good impression of Liu Zhang.

The most important thing is that the Di people are indeed very weak now, although facing the Sichuan army Xianbei army and the small western countries are attacked from three sides, Ake doesn't care on the surface, but the Di people now have a total of 60,000 to 70,000 troops, and there are more than 150,000 people in the eastern Xianbei.

I don't know if I can beat it.

Coupled with the Sichuan army and other small countries, there is no need to think about it, the Di people will be defeated, and at this time, the cooperation between Zhe Lanying and the Sichuan army is in the interests of the Di people.

Zhi Lanying didn't say anything else, only told Ah Ke that Liu Zhang was the original Beigong Zhi and wanted to attach himself to the Sichuan army, and Ah Ke was naturally happy to accept the order, because the current Di people are not the time to go alone at all.

Seeing Liu Zhang, Ah Ke remembered that when he was in the Di Valley, at that time, the Dada Department was still incompatible with the tribe of Zhe Lanying, and now that the Di people have developed so much, Ah Ke remembered the original calculations, and couldn't help but feel funny.

Although now because Zhi Lanying led the people to grow, Ah Ke is loyal to Zhi Lanying, but he still feels that Liu Zhang is also very kind, if it weren't for the huge difference in status, Ah Ke wants to catch up with Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang summoned Ah Ke and the four guards, and Ah Ke said: "The leader has already explained, hand over 10,000 horses to the King of Shu, we have brought them, please receive them from the King of Shu." (To be continued......)
