1446 Lies deceive the public
Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu are all lies, Zhuge Liang wants to go there to find his daughter Zhuge Guo, but Wang Baoyu has never calculated at all, just to help Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang also has a hard time lying about it, as a generation of virtuous ministers, he went to conquer a country for his own selfishness, and he must have been criticized for doing so, so he had to discuss such a lie with Wang Baoyu.
Wang Baoyu's ability to pinch and calculate, everyone knows very well, and most of the doubts in their hearts have been dispelled.
The generals didn't have to say that fighting a war was their job, and attacking cities and grabbing land was a symbol of glory. As strategists, Ma Tan and Lu Kai didn't think so, so they worked hard to go on an expedition to seek an innocuous Guishuang, and they were very worried that something unexpected would happen.
"The DPRK and China cannot do without prime ministers, and generals can be sent to solicit it." Ma Tan said.
"The situation in Guishan is complicated, and I must do it myself and judge the situation in a timely manner." Zhuge Liang waved his hand.
"The minister has heard of Guishan, its country is built by the Guishan tribe of the Dayue clan in the Western Regions, has fought with the Xiongnu for hundreds of years, and then unified a number of ethnic groups in the west, its people are brave and strong, the power is great, not inferior to Wei Wu, according to the minister's view, it is better to leave troops to garrison here, based on the geographical advantage, it can be guaranteed to be foolproof." Lu Kai said worriedly.
"Mr. Lu, I don't know how many times the prime minister and I have fought together, and there has never been a precedent for defeat, don't you believe me and the prime minister?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"The minister doesn't dare, he's just worried about the safety of the prime minister and the emperor's uncle." Lu Kai hurriedly said.
"What Ji Ping said is also reasonable, but I heard that Guishan has more than 500,000 troops, and it is necessary to leave 200,000 soldiers and horses here to defend. Zhuge Liang said.
"We can deploy soldiers and horses now, only 300,000, the military strength is not as good as Guishan, and I don't know much about it, so the minister is really uneasy." Lu Kai said boldly again.
"Hehe, Ji Ping is not afraid of death, why is he hesitant now?" Zhuge Liang did not answer Lu Kai's words directly, but avoided the point with a smile.
"This?" Lu Kai understood that Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu could not be persuaded to do so, so he had to solemnly kowtow and said: "The minister is willing to follow the prime minister and the imperial uncle, go to conquer Guishuang, and go to the soup to fight the fire, and he will not give up." ”
Ma Tan hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly expressed his position as usual, and the generals were gearing up, vowing to defeat Guishan and expand the territory for Shu Han.
Everyone began to purge the soldiers and horses, preparing to go to Guishuang again, Zhuge Liang drank with Wang Baoyu, and couldn't help but self-examine: "I think I, Kong Ming, prides himself on being a high-spirited person, but I also have such selfish intentions, lying and deceiving the public." ”
"Sir, don't blame yourself, we are still mortals in the end, and of course we must have mortal feelings. Comrade Liu Chan is going to die sooner or later, and he will do his best to assist him, and he is also doing the duty of a so-called courtier, the fruit is different, it is his own flesh and blood, how can he bear to let her be exiled? Wang Baoyu persuaded.
"Alas, after a few years, occasionally sitting quietly and meditating, there is always a feeling of being alone. For the sake of the Han family, Kong Ming owes a lot to his family, and he can't bear to see Yueying's tears, and there is a fruitful smile in front of him, just like yesterday. Zhuge Liang sighed.
Wang Baoyu's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and said: "Sir, I always think of my daughter in the future, she is similar to Guoguo, she is very disobedient, I haven't trained her less, and I have also beaten." But as a father, what is more important than family, and I am willing to let go of a qiē and go back to see my daughter again. ”
"Although I am reluctant to give up, I only hope that Baoyu can get her wish and go home." Zhuge Liang said.
"I'm afraid that the way home is only tens of thousands of miles farther than Guishuang, and I don't want to hide it, I have no intention of conquest of Wu Chen, I just want to go to the South China Sea to get a treasure, and I have no intention of boating in the East China Sea, just to get another treasure." Wang Baoyu opened his heart and said sadly.
"From this point of view, Baoyu still has the intention of going to another place?" Zhuge Liang asked.
"Sir guessed right, after the fight of Guishan, I will have to go to the west and north, the journey is so far that even I dare not imagine it. But there was still hope for me to go home, and even if I died on the way, I didn't regret it. Wang Baoyu said bluntly.
"Baoyu's sincerity will surely move the heavens and will eventually succeed." Zhuge Liang raised his glass sincerely.
"Hehe, sir, I have to accompany my sister after I go back this time, right? For so many years, the two of you have gathered less and left more, that is, my sister has a big heart, and ordinary people can't stand it. Wang Baoyu said with a smile.
"Baoyu, to be honest, I'm afraid that this matter will not be possible in this life. If there is an afterlife, I would rather be alone and owe no one. Zhuge Liang said a fair word, and drank a full cup with Wang Baoyu.
The two lost big men drank until the second half of the night, and they were both drunk. In the dream, Wang Baoyu saw home, the silly wife who watched her husband come home every day, the old godfather and godmother and stepfather, and the busy children, Wang Baoyu shouted at them, but everyone had a blank expression and no reaction.
Wang Baoyu came to the Chunge Mansion that he once operated, the prosperity is still the same, but Feng Chunling is the only one who is missing, listening to the employees whispering that President Feng seems to be quietly conducting a scientific research and investing countless funds, but no one knows what she is doing, even the general manager and Wang Baoyu's brother-in-law Shi Lindong does not know the truth.
"Chunling, Chunling! You must wait for me! Wang Baoyu, who was in tears, shouted vaguely in his dream, turned over and continued to sleep, he wanted to know what Feng Chunling was doing, one thing was for sure, this secret plan must have something to do with him. Wang Baoyu wanted to tell her that she was also struggling to find a way home, so that she should not be too tired.
In September, when the north gradually turned cold, but the south was still hot and unbearable, Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu once again led an army of 300,000 to embark on the journey, thousands of miles away from the hotter, and began to conquer the powerful Kushan Empire.
Zhuge Liang led the Shu army to the south, and Cao Pi did not stop, he drove the eastern tour, one to observe the people's feelings, and then hoped that Gongsun Yuan would send troops to assist in fighting Xianbei.
Just when Cao Pi was about to arrive in Liaodong with his people, he received a letter from Liang Xi in Youzhou, who claimed that he was sick and could not attack Xianbei with all his strength for a while.
Cao Pi regretted it greatly, and he didn't want to change people to continue to attack Xianbei, so the matter was put aside for the time being, and Cao Pi didn't see Gongsun Yuan, so he turned around and went back.
It seems a little unusual to go to the meeting but not to meet, Cao Pi also has his own thoughts about doing this, Sima Yi has repeatedly reminded Cao Pi that the Gongsun Yuan family is deeply antipathetic and must be guarded against.
Since there is no need to fight for the time being, Cao Pi doesn't want to take risks, and he doesn't see Gongsun Yuan at all, but when he came over this time, he ruined a major event that Sun Quan had planned for a long time.
