Zhuge Liang originally commanded people to trap Wei Tao's subordinates, but after seeing Ma Chao and Huang Zhong dead, he gave up resistance and went directly to Liu Bei's side.

For Liu Bei's wish, Wei Tao will not refuse, anyway, as soon as Liu Bei goes, there will be nothing that Sichuan and Shu can resist.

However, Wei Tao is still a little interested in Zhuge Liang, after all, Zhuge Liang's ability, he has seen it with his own eyes.

Especially after hearing that all the funds in Sichuan and Shu are now raised by Zhuge Liang, Wei Tao felt that Zhuge Liang was indeed a valuable talent, but before Wei Tao could open his mouth to solicit it, Zhuge Liang had already given it up.

"Wei Tao, my majesty's heart, I have heard of it. Now Sichuan Shu is already in the hands of His Majesty, but His Majesty has also taken over the crisis of Sichuan and Shu. ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang opened his mouth, he attracted Wei Tao's interest, and immediately let Wei Tao swallow his words and listen attentively to what he said.

"There are two crises in Sichuan and Shu, one is that His Majesty is coming, and Sichuan and Shu can't respond, and they are still defeated by His Majesty when they try their best. The second is in the southwest. There is a barbarian name in the southwest called Menghu, which is a gathering of many barbarian tribes, always coveting the land of Sichuan and Shu, in the face of its provocation, the lord can only be stabilized by the method of deceitful between fiction and reality. However, now that Xichuan is fighting with His Majesty, the strength is already a lot empty, if I expect it to be correct, then Meng Shu is afraid that he will take advantage of the time, and once the news of our army's defeat comes out, he will immediately invade the land of Sichuan and Shu. Plundering the land of the border city also. ”

Sure enough, as soon as he heard what Zhuge Liang said, Wei Tao was in good spirits, for Wei Tao. This Nanban matter is something that has to be dealt with seriously.

"I don't know what Kong Ming can do to deal with such a Southern Barbarian?"

Wei Tao asked very directly. Although I don't know why Zhuge Liang opened his mouth so much at this time. But it was obvious that he had already heard the meaning that Zhuge Liang was going to plan for himself.

"Qi Yu Majesty, the Southern Barbarian customs are very different, most of them advocate the respect of force, that Meng Shu himself is born in the Southern Barbarian clan, his people are powerful, and have great strategies, successively allied several powerful tribes, and then subdued other small tribes one by one. In this way, he is revered as a barbarian king. Of course, if it's just that, it's nothing, after all, there are many such barbarians. ”

Zhuge Liang did not immediately answer Wei Tao's question, but explained the reason for it to Wei Tao.

"Of course, if it's just like this, it's nothing, but then Meng Shuqi is familiar with the story of the Han people, and he did not rob the border Han people as in the past, but rather had the meaning of attaching the Han people to it, and always traded fairly with the border Han people."

"Kong Ming, what does this mean?"

Wei Tao didn't quite understand what Zhuge Liang meant for a while, but Zhuge Liang's words before and after were a little contradictory.

"Your Majesty, then Meng Yu is so ambitious. It has accumulated grain, grass and weapons, once Sichuan and Shu are weak. He can immediately lead the troops to rush out, once he occupies Sichuan and Shu. Coupled with the original barbarian territory, then it can naturally be called the king of the country, and then it will be a great disaster for the people of the Central Plains! ”

Zhuge Liang became more and more calm at this time, and then said so.

"Although the Han Dynasty does not exist now, the people of the Han Dynasty are still there. The lord is for the sake of the people of the Han Dynasty, although I am dead, I am also willing to seek for His Majesty. If the Southern Barbarian Meng Shu attacked the southwest, he would definitely not be His Majesty's opponent, but if His Majesty wanted to destroy the Southern Barbarian, it was not easy, and the Southern Barbarian was even more sinister than Sichuan and Shu. Once the water and soil are not adapted, it is even more difficult for the Han people to survive, so the southwest land can be described as tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it. ”

"Kong Ming means that I should be to subdue the barbarian king Meng Shu?"

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, but he thought that in history, Zhuge Liang was able to completely surrender Meng De through the seven captures and seven verticals, and until Zhuge Liang died, there was no more disaster in the southwest.

To be honest, although Wei Tao asked himself if his strength was not weak, he understood that it was indeed not so simple to really want anything to capture and capture, and with Wei Tao's temperament, he was really unwilling to do so.

Such a foreign enemy is afraid that the blade is unfavorable, where is it necessary to use such a method.

"If Your Majesty wants to subdue the barbarian king, it is naturally necessary, but although a large area in the southwest is sinister, it can often give birth to barbarians. With the trip of His Majesty, I thought that sincerity was not like this! ”

Hearing this, Wei Tao was often stunned, it was Zhuge Liang's plan in history to capture the barbarian king, and now it has changed?

"What does Kong Ming think?"

"The southwest is a land of poor mountains and bad waters, and it is difficult to occupy it by people, so there must be no strong power left, and it should be constantly contended. Now the barbarian king Meng has risen with borrowing, precisely for this reason. Therefore, what His Majesty should do is to let it never be harmonious, and always fight with each other! ”

Zhuge Liang's face was as calm as before, and he said slowly.

"If Meng is attacked, His Majesty will be peaceful, but please don't kill him immediately, and then cut off his henchmen, leaving only his life! Na Meng has been entrenched in the southwest for decades and has a lot of prestige. After a momentary defeat, he must immediately go to other tribes to ask for help, so that His Majesty can uproot his tribal leaders and tribal elites one by one, and if his tribal elites are lost, they will not be able to continue to threaten our army's frontier in a short time. ”

Wei Tao frowned slightly, and when it came to it, it seemed that it was still the same as he thought before, but at this time, Wei Tao asked quietly.

"So can you keep Nanban from trouble?"

"No, too!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, but soon added.

"This is the first step, second, dare to ask His Majesty to punish the barbarian king with impure blood, the order has words, in the future, the barbarian king must have the blood of the Han people, it is not satisfied, then send the general to conquer it, so several times, it must be the heavenly army, dare not compete, over time, it must be the Han people."

Wei Tao only understood this, and it turned out that he had to add his own methods, but since Zhuge Liang had to plan for himself, Wei Tao naturally wouldn't let it go so lightly, and asked directly.

"Barbarians, how can there be Han people who are willing to do it?"

"The same barbarians, there are Wuxi barbarians, there are also Hun barbarians, His Majesty is determined by the Quartet, and the Quartet is pacified, naturally there are countless people who are willing to be Han people, with the ability of His Majesty, first to obey his daughter, and then to marry him, and then think that he is peaceful."

Zhuge Liang did have a plan in his chest, but obviously this plan was not a temporary plan, but a long-term calculation.

Perhaps the reason why Zhuge Liang stopped winning over the Southern Barbarians in history was because Shu had always been trapped in the land of Sichuan and Shu, and could not enter the Central Plains.

"It's interesting, but what Kong Ming said still needs to go southwest. However, the southwest is where the miasma is, and it is difficult for people and animals to enter. ”

What Zhuge Liang said before was actually just a big strategy, not that it was useless, but if it was useful, it would not be enough, and now what Wei Tao asked is the key.

After all, Yiqiē is to be able to defeat the Nanban.

"As I said, I have two ways to help, one is that I have already sent people to infiltrate the southwest, although I can not say that I can understand the geographical advantages, but let people know the geography."

Hearing this, Wei Tao couldn't help but nod slightly, sure enough, it was Zhuge Liang, no matter what, this can be said to be a last resort.

But at this time, Zhuge Liang didn't pay attention to so much, but continued.

"As for the second law, it is a strategy, Meng Huo is extremely ambitious, and it is not easy to surrender, and instead of going to attack Meng Huo, it is better to let Meng Huo attack! As long as His Majesty can give up half of Xichuan and take Chengdu as a temptation, then Meng Yu will definitely be impatient to move troops to come, and when the time comes, His Majesty will first break its vanguard and cut its troops, and if it can't be, it will be to bring all the Nanban, and then it will be broken in one fell swoop, and it can also realize what I planned before. ”

I have to say that Zhuge Liang is indeed different from other top strategists, and at this time, he almost overturned what he said before.

If it was someone else, it would inevitably feel a little strange at this time, but Wei Tao completely understood it at this time.

I'm afraid this is the biggest difference between Zhuge Liang and other top strategists, he thinks too much and too comprehensively, and even thinks of contradictory ones.

But there is no doubt that although this article may cause the people of Sichuan and Shu to suffer for a while, it can achieve the goal in the greatest way.

For a while, even Wei Tao didn't know what to say about Zhuge Liang.

Sure enough, he is a genius and genius.

"Kong Ming ......"

Wei Tao spoke again, but at this time, Zhuge Liang took a step back slightly, and then bowed to Wei Tao.

"I also understand what His Majesty wants to say, but please don't be surprised, Liang Ben is a commoner, he has such a status because he has been courteous to the lord, although he is willing to die. Now that the lord is gone, Liang should have been the way, but the lord has a life, ordering me to do this last policy, and Liang barely survived. Now the matter of the southwest, His Majesty knows that Liangzhi's task has been completed, and he also asks His Majesty to let Liang guard the tomb of the Lord and the Lord, so as to fulfill Liangzhi's last bit of loyalty. ”

Wei Tao was stunned for a moment, and looked over carefully, but found that Zhuge Liang's face was different calm and serious at this time, that is, he knew that even if it was persuasion, it could not be really effective.

In the end, Wei Tao could only sigh.

"Kong Ming only learned his skills in one voice, and he was originally able to make my Han nation strong again, is this how it can be wasted? Wouldn't doing this a waste of Kong Ming's lifelong talent? Even if Kong Ming is unwilling to be loyal to me, is he unwilling to do his best for the Han nation? ”

"Your Majesty looks down on Kong Ming, although Kong Ming has a small talent, how can he compare with others? It's already cheeky to barely survive, how dare it be anything else? If His Majesty really wants to hold Kong Ming responsible, please also ask His Majesty to bury me next to the lord after my death. In order to live up to the trust of the lord. ”

Zhuge Liang said politely again, and seeing this, Wei Tao could only sigh deeply. (To be continued......)
