Late at night, Zhuge Liang knelt in the big tent, and the fire in the fire was burning very strongly, but it still couldn't stop the cold winter. The flickering light of the fire shone on Zhuge Liang's pale face, shining with an ominous gray.

Zhuge Liang looked at the fire and was silent for a long time. He has several small models at his disposal, which are exquisitely made and designed.

Zhuge Liang looked at these models with a look of pain in his eyes.

A footstep stopped outside the tent, as if hesitating to enter. Zhuge Liang was taken aback and coughed: "Is it Boyo?" ”

"It's me, Prime Minister." Jiang Wei's voice sounded outside, very low, and a little erratic, and it didn't sound very clear.

"Come in." Zhuge Liang straightened his waist and his complexion returned to calm.

The tent door knocked softly, and Jiang Wei walked in, and there was a person besides Han Feng who came in with him. Qiao Yue held a cloth bag, stood behind Jiang Wei timidly, her eyes swept over Zhuge Liang's face, and immediately took it back. She lowered her head, her chin resting on her shabby sheepskin jacket, curled up like a big burden.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Jiang Wei in surprise, he knew that Jiang Wei had a little maid by his side, who escaped from Liupan Mountain with him, and he didn't know much about the rest. However, he was a little puzzled that Jiang Wei brought this little maid to his big tent, this is not just anyone who can come.

"Qiaoyue, take out the meat porridge and put a bowl on it for the prime minister." Jiang Wei didn't answer Zhuge Liang's question first, but said softly to Qiao Yue. Qiao Yue answered, knelt on the edge of the fire in a little panic, and opened the burden in his arms. A large clay pot and two wooden bowls and a wooden spoon are revealed. She opened the clay pot, and a smell of hot porridge overflowed, filling the whole tent.

Zhuge Liang sniffed, his spirits lifted, and he suddenly felt a little hungry.

Qiao Yue scooped a bowl of porridge and handed it to Zhuge Liang with both hands, she was far away, her arms couldn't reach it at all, she just tried her best to stretch forward. The porridge bowl swayed in her hand. Jiang Wei hurriedly took it. He handed his hands to the prime minister. Zhuge Liang took it, took a sip, and suddenly felt a warm current flow along the esophagus to his chest and fall into his abdomen. It slowly dizzed all over the body.

"Not bad." Zhuge Liang nodded. Eat a bowl of porridge unhurriedly. The cold air on his body was swept away, and his face showed a slight flush. He looked at Jiang Wei, and then at the thin lip that was biting tightly. staring at Jiang Wei's Qiao Yue intently, he laughed softly: "It's a good porridge, I have to worry about it." ”

Jiang Wei smiled: "Prime Minister, have another bowl." As he spoke, he asked Qiao Yue to fill another bowl, and stuffed it into Zhuge Liang's hand without saying anything. Zhuge Liang was a little embarrassed, his amount of food has always been very small, he just drank a bowl, he already feels full, and if he has another bowl, it will be a little supportive. But Jiang Wei was very warm, and he couldn't refuse directly.

Seeing Zhuge Liang embarrassed, Jiang Wei sighed: "Prime Minister, your affairs are too heavy, you eat too little, and you are losing weight day by day, how can you rest assured?" Prime Minister, eat another bowl, this porridge not only contains mutton, but also some herbs, which can strengthen the body and calm the nerves. After drinking, get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow you will command the siege. ”

Zhuge Liang frowned, and his eyes glanced at the models: "Boyo, siege the city...... I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

"Just because of these models of Ma Jun?"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "Yes, I have studied it carefully, Ma Jun's models are all sharp weapons for defending the city, which can greatly restrain our siege equipment." If you attack strongly, I'm afraid the losses will not be small. Alas...... It's a misfortune to have such a person in the city. ”

"No matter how talented Ma Jun is, can he surpass the prime minister?" Jiang Wei said disapprenously: "Prime Minister, drink porridge first, sleep well after drinking porridge, maybe there will be a way tomorrow." ”

He paused, and then said, "If these instruments are really effective, I'm afraid Hao Zhao won't let Jin Xiang bring them out, wouldn't it be better to give us a head attack when the time comes?" He was weak in his heart, so he deliberately showed strength, and the prime minister was coaxed by him. ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Jiang Wei, didn't say anything more, picked up the bowl, and drank slowly. After two bowls of porridge, he was much more energetic. Jiang Wei said a few more gossips to him, and then led Qiao Yue out of the account.

As soon as he came out of the tent, the smile on Jiang Wei's face disappeared, he walked forward worriedly, Qiao Yue held the clay pot, trotted all the way behind, looked at Jiang Wei with a small face, wanted to ask something, but didn't dare to say. Jiang Wei slowed down, but didn't say anything, and the two returned to the big tent one after the other. Qiao Yue put down the jar and quickly laid out the marching couch for Jiang Wei, but found that Jiang Wei was sitting by the fire and was distracted, and he had no intention of sleeping at all.

"General, it's almost over, aren't you resting?" Qiao Yue asked cautiously, "There will be a big battle tomorrow." ”

"Alas-" Jiang Wei sighed: "Ah Yue, am I really inferior to Wei Ba?" ”

Qiao Yue blinked and shook her head vigorously: "No, I think the general is the prime minister's most haode student." ”

"But I don't know how to do mechanics." Jiang Wei hugged his face with both hands, and his voice squeezed out from between his fingers, as if he was crying. "If Wei Ba is here, with his mechanical skills, he will definitely be able to suppress Ma Jun. If I can take most of the affairs off the table and give him more time to study mechanics, he will definitely be able to suppress Ma Jun. But I can't, I don't know how to do mechanics, and I can't share the burden of the prime minister. ”

"Can Wei Ba?" Qiao Yue asked puzzled.

"He can, his mechanical skills are on par with the prime minister, and his ability to use troops can also share the prime minister's worries." Jiang Wei put down his hand, with some envy and jealousy in his eyes. "His father is Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei, the civil and military forces of the Jingxiang family are very close to him, Xiang Lang is very important to him, Ma Jian and him are brothers, Guan Xing, Zhang Ling and others are proud to fight side by side with him, but I ...... I'm on my own. ”

Tears fell into Jiang Wei's eyes, and he sobbed: "I am only one person, except for the prime minister, they are not willing to approach me, even Ma Dai and Wang Ping are not willing to be honest with me." I'm a human being. ”

"General......" Qiao Yue stretched out her hand and gently patted Jiang Wei's back: "General, you still have me." ”

Jiang Wei raised his head and looked at Qiao Yue angrily and funny: "You? What else would you do besides making porridge, would you be able to fight a war or build a machine? You are not even as good as the Peng Xiaoyu next to Wei Ba. ”

"In addition to cooking porridge, I can also herd sheep, and I can also ......" Qiao Yue looked at Jiang Wei unconvinced, her little face flushed, and she seemed to be angered by Jiang Wei's contempt. She puffed out her mouth, thought for a long time, and said, "I will still farm, and when you attack the city, I can farm the land and grow food for you to eat." I can herd the sheep, and when the sheep grow, they will be given food. ”

"Eat, eat, eat, you know ...... eat" Jiang Wei couldn't help laughing, burst into tears, and suddenly was stunned, he stood up suddenly, and showed surprise on his face: "Yes, why didn't I think of this." Ah Yue, you ...... You're so smart, haha......"

Saying that, Jiang Wei stretched out his hand to hold Qiao Yue in his arms and hugged him hard, Qiao Yue was shocked, and stretched out his hand to push Jiang Wei away, but Jiang Wei let go of her again, turned around and rushed to the outside of the big tent, and the voice came from far away: "Wait for me, come back and reward you." ”

Qiao Yue covered her red face and was stunned.

Jiang Wei rushed into Zhuge Liang's big tent, Zhuge Liang was still fiddling with those models, but he was in good spirits, not as haggard as before. Seeing Jiang Wei rushing in, he was stunned for a moment: "Boyo, ...... are you?"

"Prime Minister, I have a way."

"Do you have a way to siege the city?"

"Nope." Jiang Wei shook his head, "Prime Minister, we don't attack the city, we will Tuntian." ”

"Tuntian?" Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and his eyes slowly lit up. He put down the model, clapped his hands, and laughed: "Yes, Tuntian, this is the right reason." ”

Zhuge Liang turned his head, raised his hand, patted his forehead gently, and said to Jiang Wei with a smile: "Boyo, you are really amazing." I've been thinking about how to crack Ma Jun's defense, but I've forgotten about it. Tuntian, this is the perfect plan, I see how long Hao Zhao can keep. ”

Zhang He rushed to the Nanyang battlefield, Tian Yu was defeated by Zhuge Liang in Xianqin, and now Wei has less than 20,000 horses left in Longyou, including five or six thousand people in Ji County, and more than 10,000 foot cavalry led by Tian Yu outside the city. Among the large and small cities, only Jixian and Yuzhong are still in the hands of the Wei army, and the others have either been occupied by Zhuge Liang, or as long as Zhuge Liang wants to take it, he can capture it at any time.

In this case, Zhuge Liang can calmly choose the place of Tuntian, and at the same time, he can also calmly consider cracking Ma Jun's defense. As long as he is given enough time, Ji County has only one possibility: self-defeating. Zhuge Liang can even hand over the task of besieging Jixian to others, and he can return to Guanzhong or Chengdu at any time.

Zhuge Liang paced back and forth in the tent for a while, and then had a new idea. He said excitedly to Jiang Wei: "Boyo, let Yin Xian enter the city again tomorrow and tell those families that if they don't go out of the city to surrender, then I will bring them to Tuntian on the land outside the city." There are a lot of Qiang people, and I'm worried that I don't have enough points. ”

Jiang Wei couldn't help but laugh: "Prime Minister, from this point on, aren't they crazy?" Maybe he will come to surrender with Hao Zhao's head soon. ”

"If that's the case, then you're the first to do it." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Anyway, and keep Ji County, we will first pocket the rest of Longyou, and then slowly be patient with Hao Zhao." He turned his head and looked at Jiang Wei with satisfaction: "Boyo, your thinking is becoming more and more flexible, and there is a tendency to catch up with Wei Ba." Step up your game! ”

Jiang Wei smacked his lips in embarrassment, but his heart was a little unspeakably sour...... (To be continued......)
