Jiang Wei smiled and said, "This is still the merit of the benefit, since we have been trading with the Qiang people, we have a deep friendship, and we have come to pay tribute since last year."

Liu Changsheng sighed and said, "If all ethnic groups can be so harmonious, my Han world will not only be able to calm down as soon as possible, but also expand the territory and establish immortal achievements!"

Jiang Wei had long heard Liu Changsheng describe the size of the world, and the earth was spherical, although he didn't know much, he would be suspicious, but he was also full of expectations.

When they came to the palace, Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang and others had been waiting for a long time.

After the visit, Liu Chan smiled on the dragon chair and said, "Brother Huang won Nanjun this time, and he made great achievements, and I am very relieved."

Liu Changsheng said, "They are all serving the country, and the ministers dare not do their best?"

Although he is a little unaccustomed to being a minister, at least in the court, he is still not exempt from courtesy.

Liu Chan asked people to arrange seats for Liu Changsheng, the ministers congratulated, and the court cheered and sang praises to virtue, Liu Changsheng had no choice but to be perfunctory.

In the greeting, he suddenly saw that Zhuge Liang's hair was even more gray, and his face was old, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart.

Zhuge Liang did everything himself, and finally became exhausted, although he had already shared the point, but his surname could not be changed, and all political and military affairs were involved, especially Liu Chan ignored the court affairs, Zhuge Liang was in charge of state affairs, and the pressure was so great that it could be imagined.

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Changsheng's eyes suddenly showed sadness, and he was stunned in his heart, thinking that he didn't like such a situation, he got up and smiled, and said, "It is indeed the luck of the imperial court that the two of them worked together to help the second general take Nanjun, and Your Majesty has prepared a royal banquet to celebrate your achievements."

Liu Changsheng and Jiang Wei hurriedly thanked them, and followed Liu Chan and the others to the Imperial Garden for dinner.

Of course, there was no shortage of flattery in the banquet, Liu Changsheng hid beside Zhuge Liang, and he could hide, but he secretly looked at that Huang Hao.

This guy looks very well-behaved at this time, I don't understand if it's because Zhuge Liang is there, I can't help but laugh in my heart, in fact, as long as Zhuge Liang is in the court, basically no one dares to make any moves, with Zhuge Liang's political means, I am afraid that a hundred Huang Hao is not an opponent.

Finally stayed up until the end of the banquet, said goodbye to Liu Chan, Liu Changsheng and Jiang Wei came to Zhuge Liang's mansion.

After the greetings, Zhuge Liang asked, "When I was in the court, why did I look sad when I looked at me?"

Liu Changsheng was shocked in his heart, Zhuge Liang was really a human spirit, and he was just a sigh of emotion, his eyes fluctuated, and he could find out.

I had to say angrily, "I don't want to see you at the end of half a year, my father-in-law has to add a lot of white silk to his hair, and he should pay more attention to his body in the future."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he looked down at his beard, smiled freely, and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the way of heaven, and no one can avoid it since ancient times, so why hurt God?"

Liu Changsheng sighed, and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, that is the principle of nature, but my father-in-law is caused by overwork, and now that the national strength is great, my father-in-law should control the overall situation, assign tasks, and do not have to do everything himself, but also cultivate more talents for future use."

Jiang Wei also nodded when he heard this, and said, "What Xiao Yi said is true, the teacher really has to pay attention to the body."

Zhuge Liang's expression was slightly abrupt, and he felt it in his heart, but he just smiled indifferently, his eyes did not move, he nodded lightly, and said, "I should pay attention, you two don't have to worry about this matter too much." Liu Changsheng said with a straight face, "Now that the national strength is gradually recovering, it is precisely when the drum is angry, the father-in-law must not ignore it, and now there can be no me and Boyo in the court, but the father-in-law is the god of the sea, indispensable, otherwise the previous achievements will be wasted, and the major things should be on the father-in-law, and you must be cautious in public and private."

239 The Qiang people ask for help

Zhuge Liang was slightly vibrating, looked at Liu Changsheng for a long time, smiled, and said, "I know it, Mr. Hua is seventy years old, but he is in good spirits and full of energy, and he has taught me five birds to play strong health, these months are quite effective, you and other young people are the pillars of the country, and you should have already said that the pillars of the country are."

Liu Changsheng couldn't help but be happy when he heard that Zhuge Liang had also learned the Five Fowl Opera, but he was afraid that he was busy with government affairs and couldn't insist, and I was afraid that he would have to explain this matter to Huang Yueying and Zhuge Guo to supervise, and it was best to let Hua Tuo prescribe some medicine to recuperate his body.

Thinking of the few Qiang people I saw today, I asked, "I saw a few Qiang people in the city today, accompanied by officials, those people came to Chengdu, I'm afraid it's not just a tribute, right?"

"Xiao Yi is really keen," Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "I called the two of you to come here just to talk about this, those people are here to ask for help."

"Asking for help?" Jiang Wei frowned and said, "Could it be that the Huns invaded?"

Zhuge Liang nodded, "That's right, two months ago, the Huns invaded Liangzhou, and were killed by Ma Chao and Zhang Bao and fled, and the Huns made a detour from the Tianshan Mountains to attack the land of Xiqiang, and the Qiang people were plundered by the Huns in recent months, and they were miserable."

Jiang Wei was originally a person from Xiliang, and he knew more about foreign races, and said, "Although the Qiang people often have friction with the Xiongnu, they have their own place, and the two sides have used table tennis from the end.

Liu Changsheng frowned and said, "The Huns attacked twice and tens of thousands of people invaded the territory, and I am afraid that there are other reasons for this."

Liangzhou is now in the development stage, it is not easy to use ping-pong, but if you don't help the Qiang people, if the Xiongnu wipe out the Qiang people, the Xiliang border will fall into the flames of war, and the rear is not stable The most headache.

Jiang Weiyan said, "That's true, the Qiang people and the Xiongnu are separated by the Tianshan Mountains, which is very steep, although the two tribes have some friction due to water sources or prey, but basically will not hurt human lives.

Liu Changsheng asked, "What is the strength of those people?"

Jiang Wei said, "Both sides are riding and fighting in Ping-Pong, each has its own strengths, and the Xiongnu are not much stronger than the Qiang people, this time the Qiang people are at a disadvantage, it should be caused by a sneak attack, and the tribes have no time to assemble, and they are caught off guard."

When Liu Changsheng heard this, he frowned and was silent, Zhuge Liang sat quietly and tasted tea lightly, listening to the discussion between the two, his expression was calm, and he did not express his opinion, obviously testing those people.

The Xiongnu in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty were not as strong as they were in the Western Han Dynasty, and now the most powerful foreign race outside the Saiwai is actually the Xianbei tribe.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was internal strife within the high-level Xiongnu and was divided into two parts, the Southern Xiongnu were far less powerful than the Northern Xiongnu, and they took the initiative to request to be attached to the Eastern Han Dynasty and move the royal court to the Hetao-Belt area.

After that, the Northern Xiongnu began to face fierce enemies from all sides, Xianbei in the east, the Western Regions in the west, and Ding Lingxian in the north, while the Southern Xiongnu and the United Eastern Han Ping Horse repeatedly attacked north.

After several wars, the Northern Xiongnu could not resist, left the northern grassland and migrated westward, during the reign of Cao Cao, the Southern Xiongnu took care of more, and migrated to Hedong - Dynasty in five parts, the Han and Hu lived together, and the Xiongnu were left with only the Northern Xiongnu.

Searching for his memory, Liu Changsheng said, "The Xiongnu suddenly attacked the Qiang people, forcing the Qiang people to come for help, I am afraid that it is not only because of the water source and prey, but also because of the greater interests here, those people are risky, I am afraid they want to occupy the land of Xiqiang."

"It's not wrong, and the Xiongnu first invaded Liangzhou, and only after being repulsed did they turn to the land of Xiqiang, but I am afraid that it is intended in Liangzhou." Jiang Wei frowned and thought deeply, agreeing with Liu Changsheng's point of view.

Liu Changsheng moved in his heart and patted his head, "By the way, the Xiongnu have violated the realm for no reason, I'm afraid Cao Wei is making trouble behind his back."

Jiang Wei's thinking also suddenly became clear, gritted his teeth, and said, "That's right, now that the two sides have stopped ping-pong, Cao Wei used it to use ping pong in the east, but he was afraid that the west would be cool to recuperate, so he let the Huns come to disturb the border, so he borrowed a knife plan."

Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled, and said, "The two of you have analyzed it well, Xiaoyi and Cao Rong are in the Hongnong Alliance, and the Cao army can't attack us openly, but he doesn't want my army to develop Yongzhou and Liangzhou that he just won with peace of mind, so he used the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf to let the Huns harass our army." Speaking of this, he got up and pointed to the map, "There are not many places where the Xiongnu and our army meet, there is a Great Wall defense in the north of Yongzhou, the Huns can't enter on horseback and can't enter, and they were defeated by Meng Qi-field, those people have crossed the Tianshan Mountains and plan to occupy the territory of the Qiang people, so that they can harass Liangzhou for a long time - belt, it can be regarded as -

Stone two birds."
