"Oh, Prime Minister, the students are wondering if there was something negligent about what happened in the alley yesterday?" Ma Tan was awakened by a word, and immediately replied very honestly. ~with~dream~small~say~щ~suimеng~lā

"Huh." Hearing this, Zhuge Liang did smile and said, "No matter what? For the Southern Barbarian Army, it has to be guarded against. ”

After saying this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I think that at the beginning, he could have spent a lot of effort to subdue the Southern Barbarian Army. Taking advantage of Zhang Chao's army in the Rus Kingdom, he captured Meng Shu seven times, which led the other party to submit to him.

Thinking of the Seven Captures incident, Zhuge Liang was naturally a little proud, it was his masterpiece. With this spirit and dedication, it is not impossible to destroy the Southern Barbarian Army. However, in the end, he still chose to accept it, in order to enhance the strength of the Celestial Empire's army.

I thought that under the seven captures and seven releases, Meng Shu had already died on the ground, but he never thought that the good situation was destroyed because of a woman, and everything he did before might be wasted.

What happened in his house did catch Zhuge Liang off guard, and the rumors spread out of the palace, which made him even more angry. It's just that he is different from Zhu Rong, he won't believe that all this will be done by the Mi brothers, what kind of ability these two people have, he couldn't be clearer, how can they have the ability to turbulent themselves.

But it still happened, which is enough to show that the Celestial Empire has moved, and this is what worries him the most.

Since Cao Cao's death, Zhuge Liang believes that there is only one opponent left in the world who can balance him, and that is Zhang Chao. It is precisely because of this self-confidence that he must not be able to subdue Meng Huo and the Southern Barbarian Army after retreating to Jianning City, which is a product of strong self-confidence.

Now, the Celestial Empire has finally freed up his hands to deal with himself, which in itself has caused him tremendous psychological pressure. Now that something has happened in the house again, he has an intuition that the Celestial Empire should have made a move.

It was with this feeling that on the contrary, he didn't pay much attention to what happened outside the house yesterday. It's just the guard general beside Meng Shu, no matter what his purpose is, this person is irrelevant, because the existence of this person or not cannot determine the relationship between the Western Shu Army and the Southern Barbarian Army.

Zhuge Liang has always focused on the overall situation and likes to think about problems from top to bottom, and it is this wisdom that has allowed him to survive to this day with Xishu without Liu Bei.

It's just that when such wisdom faces the Celestial Empire, it will unconsciously lose its self-confidence. Zhuge Liang can't admit Zhang Chao's strength in his heart, and that kind of strength will even make him feel cowardly before he fights.

But he hid it well, and ordinary people found out.

"Yes." was said by Zhuge Liang, Ma Yan on the side said, "It's the students who are stuck in it." ”

"Hmm." Zhuge Liang nodded, and did not blame Ma Yan, but said, "In this way, you arrange it, I will have a banquet for Meng Shu and his wife again." ”

"The prime minister has to make one last effort?" Ma Tan asked in surprise.

"Huh." Zhuge Liang did say with a smile, "It's a kind of effort, but it's more of a temptation." ”

"No." Ma Tan couldn't guess Zhuge Liang's intentions, but as a courtier and student, he just had to do it.

Originally, Ma Jian thought that Zhuge Liang's move was to regain Meng Huo's heart, but he never thought that the invitation was sent out, and the response he got was indeed the result of Meng Shu occasionally feeling cold, and Mrs. Zhurong wanted to take care of him, and neither of them could come.

As soon as he got the result, Ma Jian hurriedly came to Zhuge Liang, "Prime Minister, things are not good." ”

"It's not good." After Zhuge Liang received the reply from the Southern Barbarian Army, his eyes were also slightly narrowed, although this was the main purpose of his temptation this time, he did have to admit that this was the worst result he imagined.

"That's it, even if you have a choice, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Young, this is a secret letter that I have written a long time ago, and everything is done according to the above. After Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh, he handed over the sealed letter in his hand to Ma Yan's hand.

Meng You. The younger brother of the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo, he is also one of the fierce generals in the Southern Barbarian Army.

He and the third cave master, Ah Huilan, were responsible for leading the army to guard the front line and prevent the Celestial Empire's iron cavalry from stepping in.

It's just that although they are also responsible for defense, the Southern Barbarian Army is indeed in a very awkward situation, that is because they not only have the Celestial Empire army in front of them, but also the other two Western Shu armies led by Zhang Fei and Shamoke on their left and right.

Judging from the formation, they can be said to be completely caught in the middle, which makes their every move very eye-catching.

In such an embarrassing situation, it can be said that their actions are difficult.

Not long ago, there was even more news that there seemed to be a gap between the rear and the Xishu army, which made the two even more confused. If it weren't for being caught in the middle of the battle, they all wanted to return to Jianning City.

It's just that there is no military order, and it is difficult for the two to do something. But it wasn't until the new secret order came to their eyes that the two of them suddenly realized.

"The military order is stamped with the seal of our Southern Barbarian King, and there must be no fake. I really didn't expect that our discord with the Xishu army turned out to be a trick of the Celestial Empire. Now that the prime minister of Xishu has been found out and found the murderer, the king is angry and asks us to send troops to the Celestial Empire to teach them a lesson. Looking at this secret letter, Meng You said with a smile.

Ah Huimu on the side, that is, the marshal of the third cave, also smiled after hearing this, "Okay, the rear is stable, and we can relax our hearts." But let's attack now, isn't it a little too early?

It is now just after the Lunar New Year, and the weather is still a little cold, although the ice and snow have long been gone, but if the troops are dispatched, the soldiers will inevitably be affected by bad weather, so he asked.

"We think it's too early, presumably the Celestial Empire will also think so, so that we can hit them by surprise, right?" Meng You really said it smartly. However, both of them didn't know at all, all of this was just Zhuge Liang's strategy and decision.

Very early, Zhuge Liang left a hand. After the seven captures of Meng, in order to win his trust and express his surrender, the other party handed over the Great Seal of Military Power in his hand. It's just that Zhuge Liang returned it after only one day.

But everyone didn't know that Zhuge Liang actually carved a chapter privately according to this, which was just in case, but no one could have imagined that it would really be useful.

It is precisely because no one thought that Zhuge Liang had already privately engraved Meng Shu's seal, at this moment Meng You and Ah Huinan did not doubt him, seeing that the king's military order was below, although they also thought that it was a little inappropriate to use troops at this time, they still decided to attack and attack Zhang Liao's department of the Seventh Army of the Celestial Empire in front.

The war started so suddenly, fortunately, Zhang Liao had already listened to the words of the military advisor Deng Ai, and had taken precautions, but he was not attacked by anything, but it was impossible for the two armies to fight without damage, and after a battle, both sides threw tens of thousands of corpses.

When the war started and had not been transmitted back to the rear in time, Huang Xu had already learned from a special channel and was shocked at the moment.

It wasn't like meeting Meng Shu and Zhu Rong once or twice, he already knew that the other party had the heart to return to the Heavenly Empire, but even so, how could they suddenly send troops? He sensed that there must be some misunderstanding in this, so he immediately entered the Nanban military camp at night to find out.

Meng Shu and Zhu Rong were still very surprised by Huang Xu's sudden arrival, but when they saw the secret letter handed over by the other party, they were really taken aback.

"No way, this king didn't issue any military orders, they shouldn't send troops." Seeing that the two sides had already begun to fight as mentioned in the secret letter, Meng Shu was puzzled and surprised at the same time.

"Could it be that the source is wrong?" Meng Shu wanted to deny the correctness of this news, but when he only said this, he kept his mouth shut, a major event like a war, and tens of thousands of people died, who would come to fake this kind of thing?

Meng Shu, who hurriedly shut up after he finished speaking, stopped squeaking, and the lady Zhu Rong on the side did guess something, and said, "There must be something wrong here, but this order was not given by us, and I ask General Huang to believe it." ”

"I naturally believe it, otherwise I wouldn't have come." Huang Xu believed Zhu Rong's statement. After all, everyone was still chatting happily together before, and they were even thinking about how the Southern Barbarian Army would cooperate with the Celestial Empire once the big war came. But now, such a thing has happened, and it can only be said that there is some deviation and unpredictable thing in it.

But in any case, now that the war has begun, what needs to be done is not to find the cause, but how to prevent the mistake from continuing.

Zhu Rong also agreed with this very much, and immediately turned to look at Meng Xudao, "King, I'm going to let the cave master go, who do you think is better to send to cooperate?" ”

Bring the cave master, but Zhu Rong's own brother, also enjoys a high status in the entire Southern Barbarian Army, and at the same time, he is extremely loyal, and he is an absolutely credible person.

Hearing that Madame had sent her younger brother out, Meng Yu also said, "Then let the Golden Ring Sanjie and the busy tooth chief go together, with them, no matter what happens, Meng You and Ah Huinan will listen to them." ”

Successively sent a cave marshal and his own chief of guard, such a lineup is above all military orders.

"Well, without further ado, they need to leave right away and stop this war as soon as possible." Zhu Rong said a little anxiously. After these days of contact with Huang Xu, she has given up the idea of being an enemy of the Celestial Empire. What we need to do now is how to reduce the misunderstanding between everyone, instead of allowing the war to continue, in which case no one knows what will happen, and if it really makes the two sides anxious, I am afraid that it will become impossible for them to stop it.
