Chapter 137: Zhuge Liang
"There are actually only two main enemies of the lord, one is Cao Cao in the north, and the other is Sun Jian in the south!" Zhuge Liang said.
Zhang Lang nodded thoughtfully and glanced at Zhuge Liang, "Kong Ming, where do you think we should develop next?" "Jing Xiang."
Zhang Lang showed a puzzled look, "Why Jing Xiang?" β
"Jingxiang counties are located in the middle of the world, as long as the Jingxiang area is captured, the Central Plains can be attacked to the north, and Jiangdong can be plotted to the east, and the Jingxiang region is the land of fish and rice, and the world is fortunate not to be affected too much when the world is in turmoil, and a Jingxiang is enough to be worth all the land in the hands of the current lord! This is hegemonic capital, and it must not be let go! Although the lord is currently suitable for rest and recuperation, he can't sit idly by and watch Sun Jian's intention to garrison Jingxiang! β
Zhang Lang nodded and said excitedly: "Kong Ming's words made me see the sun and the sun suddenly!" β
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and habitually fanned the feather fan in his hand.
Zhang Lang pondered: "Although Sun Jian is known as a fierce tiger, but Jingxiang has hundreds of thousands of troops, and there is plenty of food and grass, Sun Jian may not be able to achieve much tension in a short period of time, right?" β
Zhuge Liang shook his head, "The lord looks down on Sun Jian but looks down on Liu Biao, no wonder, after all, the lord has only arrived in Jingxiang and doesn't know a lot of things." Glancing at Zhang Lang, "I can assert that if there is no external interference, Sun Jian will be able to sweep the entire Jingxiang within a year!" At that time, Sun Jian's full-fledged wings will be even more difficult to deal with! β
"Why is Kong Ming so sure?"
Zhuge Liang said: "I know Liu Biao too well, some of the ability to govern the place, but lack of decisiveness and courage, and favor the Cai family, resulting in the fall of power, everything is restricted, and besides, I don't understand the military, although there are many troops, but the combat power is low, lack of ambition, such as today's chaos, the heroes are still sitting in a corner of the dream, but I don't know if you don't hurry up and work hard, sooner or later it will become the mouth of the strong!" On the other hand, Sun Jian, inside, appointed virtuous people, ruled Qingming, outside, personally commanded the three armies, soldiers with their lives, morale like a rainbow, the previous battle of Jiangxia, in fact, Sun Jian's troops were less than Huang Zu, but in such a short period of time, Huang Zu broke through and occupied the real Jiangxia! Liu Biao and Sun Jian, these two people are put together, and they make a judgment, although Liu Biao is a little stronger now, but he can't resist Sun Jian's offensive at all! β
Zhuge Liang's analysis convinced Zhang Lang and couldn't help but nodded.
Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "The world is changing, Sun Jian is the best among people, and he definitely wants to expand his strength as much as possible before settling with the real hero!" I estimate that Sun Jian will launch a full-scale attack on Jingzhou within half a month! "Towards Zhang Lang, he hugged his fist, "The lord can leave a message for the Cai family or Cai Mao, hinting that you can get in touch with Lu Bu!" I estimate that when the Cai family can't resist Sun Jian's soldiers, Eighteen or Nineteen will come to ask for help! That's when the opportunity comes! β
Zhang Lang smiled and nodded.
β¦β¦
Zhang Lang and Zhuge Liang discussed major events in the world, military, internal affairs, and humanities, almost everything, and the two chatted all night without the slightest sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang left this cottage with Zhang Lang and Huang Chengyan, who had been away from the world for several years, and carefully explained to the child and his younger brother when he left.
The group left Wollongong and headed for Nanyang City. Entering the city, everyone temporarily separated, Zhuge Liang followed Huang Chengyan to Huangfu, and Zhang Lang and others returned to the inn.
Later that day, Zhuge Liang arrived at the inn and was led to Zhang Lang's room by a guard.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang was a little distraught, Zhang Lang poured him a cup of tea and teased: "Have you seen your fiancΓ©e?" Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea, nodded, and said with emotion: "This woman's talent is not under me!" Unbelievable! I'm so lucky in my third life! β
Zhang Lang said with a smile: "Mr. Huang's daughter is naturally different! Zhuge Liang nodded sympathetically.
Zhang Lang couldn't help but think of the stunning enchanting woman who once pretended to be a tea lady in Wollongong, and thought: Her talent is not much worse than Zhuge Liang, right? Who is she? It's a mystical feeling!
Zhuge Liang noticed Zhang Lang's expression and asked curiously, "What is the lord thinking?" β
Zhang Lang came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I thought of a woman I saw not long ago. β
Zhuge Liang smiled and didn't ask any more, "By the way, my lord, Mr. Huang's family decided to move their family to Xichuan." β
Zhang Lang thought it was because of Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile: "This father-in-law of Kong Ming is really rare!" β
Zhuge Liang felt the same way, "If the lord has nothing important to deal with, he should return immediately, this place is really not a place where the lord can stay for a long time!" β
Zhang Lang thought for a while, "I want to stay for another ten days and half a month, and it is best that during this period, Sun Jian will launch a full-scale attack on Jingzhou!" β
Zhuge Liang nodded thoughtfully.
While he was talking, the guard came to report that Mrs. Cai of Xiangyang had asked Zhang Lang to come over. Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Presumably, because of the matter of the arms trade, the lord can use this opportunity to hint to Mrs. Cai." β
On the same day, Zhang Lang set off for Xiangyang, and Zhuge Liang first went to explain to Huang Chengyan, and then followed Zhang Lang to leave Nanyang.
A day later, we arrived in Xiangyang. The atmosphere of the whole city is different from before, the city walls have obviously increased the number of sergeants, and the four gates have been more strictly checked.
Entering the city, he met a wealthy servant who had been waiting here, and as soon as he saw Zhang Lang, he immediately greeted him, hugged his fists and said, "Young Master Xiao, Mrs. Cai invites you to meet you at the Dadu Governor's Mansion." Zhuge Liang said: "The lord is going to see Mrs. Cai, I'll go back to the inn first!" β
Zhang Lang nodded and followed the servant away.
Soon after, he entered the Grand Governor's Mansion and was led to the hall of a small courtyard. As soon as I stepped in, a fragrant wind rushed into my arms. Mrs. Cai raised her delicate face and complained, "Where have you been these days?" Any idea how much I miss you? Squeezed his body into Zhang Lang's arms, his delicate face turned slightly red, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he trembled, as if he was already emotional!
Zhang Lang didn't hesitate, picked her up, and walked upstairs to the bedroom.
β¦β¦
After several spring breezes, Mrs. Cai still kept asking for it, and Zhang Lang simply let go of his hands and feet to do a big job for more than an hour.
Mrs. Cai was paralyzed as mud and exhausted to death, but she felt extremely happy.
Zhang Lang stroked Mrs. Cai's slender waist and asked, "When I entered the city today, I saw that the entire city seemed to be strengthened and guarded!" Is something wrong? β
Mrs. Cai frowned, "It's not because of Sun Jian!" Then he said worriedly: "Jiangxia has been lost, I don't know how long this Xiangyang can be kept?" He glanced at Zhang Lang and said with a look of hope: "Since Xiao Lang is doing things for Lu Bu, and he can see him if he wants to come, can you hand over a handwritten letter for me?" β
