Chapter 1224: The Bottom of the Cauldron Draws Salary
Luoyang City, the front hall of the Qin Palace.
In the huge front hall, Liu Wei and Zhuge Jun were sitting, except for the two, only Wang Zhen in military uniform stood behind Liu Wei.
Pressing the hilt of the sword, Wang Zhen looked at the main entrance of the front hall without squinting, and did not glance at Zhuge Jun at all.
Kneeling and sitting opposite Liu Wei, Zhuge lowered his head and didn't say a word for a long time.
Staring at him, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Sir, can you tell this king why Kong Ming didn't come to Luoyang?" ”
"Back to Your Highness!" Liu Wei bluntly asked why Zhuge Liang didn't come to Luoyang, Zhuge Jun clenched his fists and said: "The second brother wants to serve Liu Bei, so he avoids Yuan Zhi!" ”
I didn't expect him to answer so directly, Liu Wei was stunned, blinked his eyes twice, and asked him: "Could it be that this king can't give Kong Ming a way to develop here?" ”
"Not really!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists, Zhuge Jun said: "The second brother thinks that His Royal Highness has a lot of talents, and even if he comes, he will be embarrassed and useful, but it is better to serve Liu Bei, who has not yet succeeded, or have a way to advancement!" ”
"Huh!" When Zhuge Jun said these words, Liu Wei smiled, shook his head and said: "Then Liu Bei is a lost dog, once this king's army goes south, it will be difficult for him to achieve great things." Kong Ming joined Liu Bei, I don't know how to get promoted? ”
"Your Highness" put down the fists he was holding, and Zhuge Jun said to Liu Wei: "The second brother's worries are not all for no reason! Now in the Central Plains and the north, the Qin army is really overwhelming, but the south is completely uninvolved! ”
Listening to what he said, Liu Wei didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
Because of Zhuge Liang's matter, he was also a little unaccustomed to Zhuge Jun, if it weren't for Xu Shu's explanation on the top of Song Mountain, Zhuge Jun would have been sent to Liaodong!
Seeing that Liu Wei didn't speak, Zhuge Jun continued: "Cao Cao has now been forced into Liaodong by His Royal Highness, even if he wants to achieve great things, it is difficult to make achievements. Xiliang Ma Teng, Liaodong Gongsun Du, but jumping beam clown ears. Liu Zhang in Shuzhong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou are also difficult to achieve. Liu Bei is in Jingzhou, and he has made friends with everyone under Liu Biao all day long, and he has long had the intention of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle! Once Liu Bei wins the world, in the future, he only needs to leave soldiers and horses to guard Jingzhou, and then march to Bashu and occupy Bashu, how can His Highness suppress him? ”
was stunned by Zhuge Jun's words, and Liu Wei's brows tightened.
Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky!
Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, competed for the world with Xiang Yu, which was based on Bashu, and finally seized Guanzhong, and then encroached on the entire world.
The terrain of Bashu is critical, so it is really not to be careless.
"Jiangdong Sun's family, according to the Yangtze River natural insurance, it is difficult to break through leisure, although it has no enterprising strength, but it can defend it!" Looking at Liu Wei, Zhuge Jun said, "How can Your Highness defeat the Sun clan in a short period of time?" ”
What Zhuge Jun said happened to corroborate with Zhuge Liang's three-point world introduced in the book that Liu Wei had read back then.
Staring at him, Liu Wei finally paid attention to him in his heart, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation to him, and said, "What do you have to say, sir!" ”
Liu Wei's attitude changed suddenly, how could Zhuge Jun not see it?
Clenched his fists and bowed, bowed to Liu Wei, Zhuge stood up, turned around and walked a few steps back, raised his right arm, spread it to the side, and said very heroically: "Your Highness is about to become the emperor, and since you become the son of heaven, how can you sit back and watch the world fall into the hands of others?" ”
Looking at Zhuge Jun, Liu Wei nodded slowly.
Although he has no words, he attaches a little more importance to the once unknown Kong Ming younger brother in front of him.
"The second brother joined Liu Bei, he must follow what the villain saw, and guide Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first, and then chin Shu!" Turning around violently, Zhuge Jun said to Liu Wei: "If Liu Bei is difficult to achieve a great cause, His Royal Highness must first abandon Liaodong and Xiliang, and the army will enter Bashu and merge Liu Zhang's territory into his hands!" ”
When Zhuge Jun said this, Liu Wei secretly shouted in his heart.
He has been thinking about how to take Liaodong and then march to Xiliang, but he never thought of sending a large army to capture Bashu first, cutting off Liu Bei's back road.
"What a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle!" Staring at Zhuge Jun, Liu Wei praised and said, "Sir, please continue!" ”
From Liu Wei's attitude, Zhuge Jun saw that he had paid more attention to his own family, and said with a smile on his face: "This is a move to cut off Liu Bei's back road, if His Royal Highness occupies Bashu and Jingzhou, why bother?" ”
"What the gentleman said is very true!" Complimenting, Liu Wei said: "Then how to break the Jiangdong Sun Clan?" ”
"Jiangdong Sun's family, the one who relies on it is only the Yangtze River!" Smiling slightly, Zhuge Jun said to Liu Wei: "The source of the Yangtze River is in Bashu!" Jinsha and Minjiang River, where the two rivers meet, gather the Yangtze River! His Royal Highness won Bashu, the army calmly crossed the river, took the land of the Southern Barbarians in one fell swoop, and then turned to Jiangdong, why not break the Jiangdong Sun clan that has no natural danger! ”
His eyes opened suddenly, Liu Wei hurriedly stood up, bowed to Zhuge Jun with his fists in his fists and said, "Don't hide it, Mr. Don't hide it, because Kong Ming didn't see Yuan Zhi earlier, this king is angry with Mr. I wanted to send Mr. to Liaodong and let the people of Liaodong kill Mr. If it weren't for Yuan Zhi's hard persuasion, this king would have almost missed his arm! ”
"Your Highness!" Liu Wei dared to admit to his face that he wanted to throw Zhuge Jun to Liaodong and let him fend for himself, Zhuge Jun was also moved in his heart, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply, and said gratefully: "Your Highness is willing to reveal your heart to the small people, but you don't treat the small people as outsiders, if Your Highness does not give up, the small people will only look forward to His Royal Highness in the future!" ”
Stepping forward, Liu Wei took Zhuge Jun's hand, stared at him and said, "Mr. doesn't blame this king, this king will not live up to Mr." ”
The two held each other's hands and stared at each other, and from each other's eyes, they could see that trust and estrangement had collapsed.
"Someone!" Holding Zhuge Jun's hand, Liu Wei shouted outside the hall.
Hearing the shout, one of the guards strode into the hall, clenched his fists and bowed, waiting for Liu Wei's order.
"Someone drafted the document and appointed Zhuge to be the general of Zhengxi!" Looking at the guards who entered the hall, Liu Wei instructed him: "Take full charge of the southward army!" ”
"No!" In response, the guard turned and left.
When the guards left, Liu Wei said to Zhuge Jun: "The general conquers Bashu, I don't know how many soldiers and horses it takes to break the enemy?" ”
"If you fight in the Central Plains, the more soldiers and horses, the better!" With a smile on his face, Zhuge Jun said to Liu Wei: "But Bashu is a place with mountains and forests, and it is difficult for the army to unfold. The last general only needs 30,000 soldiers and horses, but ......"
At the end of the words, Zhuge Jun showed a hint of hesitation on his face, and swallowed the words back.
"The march into Bashu is a must for Kuang to recover the Han Dynasty, but whenever the general proposes it, this king will not allow it!" Zhuge Jun swallowed his words back, and Liu Wei hurriedly said.
"I heard that His Highness has been domesticating elephant soldiers for many years!" Looking at Liu Wei, Zhuge Jun said with some hesitation: "Bashu is a place suitable for war elephants to fight, I wonder if His Highness can hand over the elephant soldiers to the last general?" ”
Dian Wei had already asked Liu Wei to fight several times, but earlier because the war elephant was not yet an adult, even if he was on the battlefield, it was impossible to make too many achievements.
Later, due to the northern battlefield, it was not suitable for war elephants to fight, and Liu Wei did not agree to Dian Wei's expedition.
Zhuge Jun proposed to go out on the expedition, thinking of Dian Wei, who was looking forward to killing the enemy, Liu Wei pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and shouted outside the hall: "Pass the order, invite the four generals Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun!" ”
Before his words fell, a guard's answer came from outside the hall.
When the guards responded, Liu Wei said to Zhuge Jun: "This king not only wants to give the general elephant soldiers, but even Yulin Wei and the general will also take them away!" ”
The Qin army has been domesticating elephant soldiers for many years.
Arguing to Liu about the elephant soldiers, Zhuge Jun also felt a little risky.
He didn't expect at all that Liu Wei not only immediately allocated the elephant soldiers to him, but even Yu Linwei under Gao Shun was also handed over to him.
Yu Linwei is the elite of the three guards of the Qin army.
Conquer the world, but wherever there is a battlefield where the three guards of the Qin army appear, the Qin army has never been defeated.
In addition to being moved, Zhuge Jun also felt that the pressure on his shoulders increased suddenly.
Leading such an army to the expedition, if he can't defeat Liu Zhang, this Luoyang, he doesn't have to come back!
"Your Highness!" Being held by Liu Wei and staring into his eyes, Zhuge Jun said gratefully: "The last general will definitely seize Bashu for His Highness, and then go east to Jiangdong, and sweep away the southern heroes for His Highness!" ”
Nodding his head, Liu Wei said with a trusting face: "The general's trip, or a year, or several years, no matter what, until the day of the general's triumph, this king will personally take the wind and wash the dust for the general!" ”
Holding hands with Liu Wei, Zhuge Jun was so moved that he felt that his heart was about to reach one place.
In the bag that Zhuge Liang gave him, he also expected that he would not be able to go to Liaodong, but the things that taught him were step-by-step, and he gained Liu Wei's trust little by little, and only sought a half-official position in Luoyang.
What made Zhuge Liang miscalculate was that Zhuge Jun actually pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger to him, pretending not to know about it, but when he arrived in Luoyang, he immediately proposed a plan to Liu Wei to draw a salary.
Perennial expedition to the battlefield, Liu argued the strategy, how not to know, once the strategy is successful, Bashu will be incorporated into the territory of the Great Qin, after the emperor, it will also become the direct subordinate of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei has hundreds of thousands of courage, but also dare not rashly attack the Qin army.
As long as Bashu is won, the Qin army will form a situation of encirclement of the entire world, annihilating the remnants of the heroes, but it is only a matter of time!
and Zhuge sat down again in the hall, and the estrangement between the two had been eliminated, and it was more smooth and natural to talk to each other.
While talking, a guard outside the hall stepped in, clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said, "Your Highness Qiqi, the four generals Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun are already waiting outside the hall!" ”
