After Zhuge Liang turned around and went downstairs, he went straight to the council hall, where the generals were already waiting. Seeing that the military advisor came back and didn't speak, Guan Yu stroked his beard vigorously, silently looked at the few broken whiskers on his hands, and after being stunned for a moment, he asked.

"Military advisor, since the rabble of the canonized country has come, Guan is willing to lead the Changyun army to meet the battle and win these 200,000 meritorious deeds. But why did the military advisor delay in giving the order? ”

Hearing Guan Yu say this, Zhang Fei on the side also opened his throat: "Yes, military advisor, it's just a rabble of 200,000 people, if I go out and roar, they will be like lost dogs, and it will be too late to escape."

Although the other generals did not speak, they kept looking at Zhuge Liang with questions in their eyes.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang laughed.

This 200,000 army is a lot of meritorious service, if he and other soldiers can be taken down a few levels in a row, which is much faster than those internal affairs and construction tasks that accumulate meritorious deeds every day.

But...... There are also people staring at these 200,000 meritorious deeds.

When the army of 520,000 crossed the river, the Taishou of the Eight Towns met and held a meeting in the Taishou Mansion of Wuzhen.

Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan, Bai Ersong, Yuan Tong, Jiang Wei, Feng Indulgence, and Curry held a meeting on their own for the first time, and everyone had a smile on their faces, as if they were completely unaware of the news of the enemy's attack.

It's time to drink alcohol.

The discussion discusses.

The chat chats.

It's just that no one mentioned this matter, and it wasn't until after the third round of drinking and everyone was slightly drunk that Zhuge Liang opened the conversation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we have a meeting in the eight towns, drinking wine and eating meat, and reporting on the current situation of the development of our respective territories. However, now we also have a problem to deal with, how should the 200,000 troops who come to attack deal with it? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor has entrusted us with responsibilities and trusts us so much, we should repay the holy grace with all our hearts, and Wei Zhen, as the town with the largest number of troops at present, should bear the brunt." If you can trust Cao, then let Cao lead the army to rob the road to encircle and suppress, and they will definitely be wiped out. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "No, no." The enemy's 200,000 troops, of which the infantry is the main cavalry and the auxiliary, and the arms are similar to Wei Zhen, if they take the initiative to go out to fight, they are afraid that they will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 themselves, so they can't do it. ”

Cao Cao blew his beard and said, "Zhuge Taishou has a good countermeasure?"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he laughed and shook the feather fan in his hand: "The 200,000 troops crossing the Liuqing River are bound to set up camp in the Central Plains, with the Central Plains as their station, then the only ones he can attack are Shu Town, Wei Town, and Qin Town." We only need to do a good job of defending the Three Towns, and their offensive will be self-defeating. ”

The other Taishou nodded.

"Agreed."

Then several Taishou raised their hands, and the vote was 7 to 1, and Cao Cao stopped talking.

Zhuge Liang continued: "At present, the military strength of the three towns is the most powerful in Wei Town......"

Speaking of this, the other Taishou all looked at Cao Cao with a strange look in their eyes. Cao Cao has so many troops, isn't it because he calls people to come to his town every day to post small advertisements.

Ahem.

Cao Cao naturally knew what these people thought, but since the thing was done, he didn't want to be so cheeky, and he looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

"Although the army of Shu Town, where I am located, is only 60,000, I dare to say that as long as they dare to come to attack Shu Town, I will let him come and not return."

Zhuge Liang showed a very confident smile.

"And Qin Town's current strength is the smallest among the three towns, so the other towns should appropriately adjust their forces to assist in defense."

After listening to this, Zhong Taishou nodded again and again: "Agree."

But as soon as everyone finished speaking, Cao Cao slapped the table and stood up, and said, "Okay, you cunning Zhuge villager, you are you...... The terrain of Shu Town is close to the Central Plains, and as long as he is not a fool, he will definitely lead his troops to attack Shu Town. You said so much, it was nothing more than that they would attack Shu Town, and they wanted to fight it alone. ”

"Hey, Cao Taishou, what you said is not right, everyone is a courtier, when it is difficult to solve problems for the country and the people and the emperor, we should be united, I am here to make suggestions, why do you still say that mine is not?" Zhuge Liang's face was furious, and he looked distressed, and his hand pointing at Cao Cao was a little trembling.

When it comes to the battle of words, Cao Cao is better than Zhuge Liang, who has eaten this bowl of rice, so he cast a look of help to others and said: "Everyone, comment on reason, say a fair word." What are we training for? But I've been here for a while, and I haven't even been on the battlefield. ”

Cao Cao's excited saliva almost squirted out.

"I believe everyone here can see that although it is an army of 200,000, any of our eight towns can easily deal with it, to put it bluntly, this 200,000 army is a whetstone is a military merit, giving our soldiers a chance to really go to the battlefield for training, right? So, Zhuge Liang, if you want to swallow it alone, I won't agree anyway!! ”

Zhuge Liang saw that Cao Cao said it so bluntly, and he didn't say anything, but drank silently, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

In the end, it was Yuan Lao who broke the silence: "You are all the most trusted people of the emperor, it is our duty to protect the family and defend the country, I believe that everyone will not joke about the major affairs of the family and the country, the reason why the two can still fight at this juncture, presumably the 200,000 army is indeed not to be feared." In this case, the old man should go back to engage in agriculture, rejuvenate the land, and accumulate meritorious deeds, and you can decide for yourself about the war. ”

After Yuan Tong finished speaking, Sun Quan continued: "Xiaosheng will not participate, go back and build a few more blue battleships." There are many feats in building a blue battleship. ”

Feng indulged in looking around, did not speak, secretly reached out to tear off the gray chicken legs, and gnawed silently, you fight, you make trouble, I will be a quiet chicken eater.

Curry shook his head helplessly, as a foreigner, he felt more and more that he was dealing with these people interesting. Starting from the emperor, sometimes serious and sometimes funny, these ministers are also so interesting, they always like to quarrel and compete with each other in small things, and they are extremely united when they are big things. If it were an army of 500,000 now, I am afraid it would not be this noisy and interesting scene......

"I'll go back and breed the dragon, you guys talk slowly."

In the end, Jiang Wei didn't speak, Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao actually looked at him at the same time, the latter was stunned, and then said: "I just want to do a good job in internal affairs now, and I'll leave it to the two of you to face the enemy."

Zhuge Liang thought about it, it seems that it is impossible to swallow the merits of the 200,000 army alone, so he said: "Since the country should take the lead in attacking Shu Town, I will kill forty percent of it, they categorically dare not attack Shu Town again, but they are not willing to flee here, and they will inevitably attack Qin Town, Bai Taishou will unite the forces of other towns and kill three percent of it." It was bound to rout and flee, and Cao Taishou pursued the cavalry at this time and wiped out the remaining three percent. How is it? ”

The crowd nodded again: "Agreed."

If the monarch knew that his army of 200,000 was just a mobile feat in the eyes of the Tang State Taishou, would he be so angry that he spit out a mouthful of old blood?
