Back in Beibi Mountain, Ge Hong looked for Ge Hong by himself. Shi Xin let Xiao Jinyin move freely, and took Meng Shu and Zhu Rong to Zhuge Liang.

In the grass house, Zhuge Liang sat in front of the desk, and Jiang Wei stood on the side. There was a document on the desk, and the two of them were studying something.

Shi Xin had told Jiang Wei before, don't look for the master if you have nothing to do, he has already kept it in mind, and now that he has come to the door again, something big should have happened.

Seeing Shi Xin appear, the two hurriedly saluted.

"You don't have to be polite. Shi Xin stopped the two of them, found a place to sit down, and asked, "But what happened in the army?"

Zhuge Liang handed the document to Shi Xin, "My lord, please see, it was sent by "that person". ”

Shi Xin took a look, and it turned out to be an urgent report from Yang Xiu. As for why he said "that person", since Zhuge Liang didn't know the identities of Meng Shu and Zhu Rong, he had reservations in his words.

"You are Zhuge Liang?" Zhu Rong stared at Zhuge Liang with phoenix eyes, and saw that although he was handsome, he was more elegant, which was very different from the handsome macho type he liked.

And looked at himself with a smile, a pair of clear and bright eyes seemed to be about to see through himself at once, and he was first disliked in his heart, and muttered: "Look at the weak and windy look, I thought it was a big girl pretending!"

Zhuge Liang smiled lightly, shook the feather fan, and did not answer.

Jiang Wei respects his teacher like a god, how can he allow others to be defiled at all, and seeing that Zhu Rong is dressed revealingly, Meng Shu behaves rudely, and at first glance he is an uncivilized barbarian, and he is very disdainful. If it weren't for the fact that they were brought by Shi Xin, he would have scolded them a long time ago. But even so, a pair of eyes stared at Zhu Rong, and they wanted to burst into flames.

Shi Xin hurriedly glanced at the paperwork and frowned, "I forgot to tell you yesterday that I had seen Cao Cao before. "Now give a brief introduction to the events of two days ago, and continue, "He summoned all the important generals under his command to Xiangyang, presumably to help them upgrade. The other one, he has been promoted to the ninth rank and fifth class, and it is believed that Meng De's new book has also been completed, and he is ready to be awarded to the generals. ”

"Has the lord already fought with him, and what is the result?"

Shi Xin recalled the chance encounter with Cao Cao, and then contacted his talent, and gave a pertinent answer: "Under normal circumstances, Cao Cao would not be able to beat me." But if you fight for your life, it's hard to say. ”

He remembered that Cao Cao had a talent of "being strong when it is strong", which could directly offset the opponent's strongest talent. And after the fusion, Shi Xin's strongest talent is undoubtedly "swallowing mountains and rivers", and all of a sudden fifty percent of the offensive and defensive bonuses are missing, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer.

Although "Swallowing Mountains and Rivers" has increased its offense and defense by one percent on the original two talents, it is not a bad thing for Cao Cao.

In Yang Xiu's secret letter, he also highlighted some movements of Cao's army, and the general direction was to gather the rear forces to the north, mainly in Yangzhou and Yuzhou, which were the places bordering Shi Xin.

In this way, the purpose is obvious, and the spearhead is right up to Shi Xin. Presumably, Cao Cao judged that Shi Xin would not be able to withdraw from Simei Mountain for a while, or received a critical juncture that Zhuge Liang and several others were escalating, and wanted to take advantage of their emptiness to take some territory with the momentum of thunder.

"Hmph, even if I'm not there, the area under my jurisdiction is as strong as an iron bucket, and Cao Cao wants to attack it?"

Shi Xin scoffed.

Zhuge Liang took out another letter from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Xin: "My lord, please see, this is that person's second secret letter." ”

"Huh?" What Shi Xin could think of, Zhuge Liang certainly thought of, if things were so simple, he and Jiang Wei would not have to look distressed.

Yang Xiu rarely sends letters continuously, which shows that things happened suddenly, and it also shows the importance of this letter.

Unfolded to take a look, Rao is Shi Xin, who has experienced strong winds and waves, can't help but gasp.

"Smack!"

Shi Xin slapped his credit on the case, his face was frosty, and he snorted coldly: "How can this be reasonable, Sima Yi, this bastard, is still making trouble behind his back! In the name of my Han Dynasty, he is swaggering and deceiving everywhere and making waves!"

It turned out that Yang Xiu's second letter was to say that Sima Yi canonized Cao Cao as the king of Wei in the name of the imperial court, and asked him to justifiably lead Yu Yang Jing to the state pastor of the four states.

Although Yang Xiu didn't know what agreement the envoy had reached with Cao Cao in the end, with his understanding of Cao Cao, it was definitely not a good thing, at least it was a huge threat to Shi Xin.

Linked to what Sima Yi said to himself outside Xiapi City, Shi Xin guessed that Sima Yi also had the same purpose for Cao Cao. He wants to unify the whole of China without fighting!

"My lord, just now I and Bo Youyi have summed it up, and it is estimated that Sima Yi will take action soon. Even if we don't act immediately, we will send troops to contain Jizhou and Yanzhou, so that we can't fight Cao Cao with all our might, and we have to guard against it. ”

According to the news from the Eagle Department, Cao's army numbered about 300,000. And Sima Yi has an army of 200,000 people, and there are two powerful troops under him, corpse soldiers and heavenly soldiers. His own 400,000 orders are stronger than any party, but if Sima Yi and Cao Cao join forces, there is no reason to be spared.

Sima Yi has the trump card "Yu Ji's curse" in hand, as the strongest pulse master in his own camp, Shi Xin is the most reluctant to fight him, and at the same time, Sima Yi does not want to see his family dominate, and must unite with Cao Cao to check and balance.

Today's situation is confusing, and the three parties wrestle, how should we break the situation?

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was still there, Shi Xin smiled, "Kong Ming has already thought of a countermeasure. ”

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said with a smile: "The lord wants to go deeper, compared to us, in fact, what Sima Yi doesn't want to see is Cao Cao's growth." As long as we properly express our goodwill to Sima Yi, he will point the finger at Cao Cao again. "Cola Literature

Shi Xin's eyes lit up, "Yes, in his mind, Yan'er and I are deeply controlled by the Taiping Mind Law, and sooner or later we will succumb." And Cao Cao doesn't have this restriction, in case we are defeated, Cao Cao will sit big, and Sima Yi definitely doesn't want to see this happen. As long as we show a soft attitude, he should not touch us anytime soon. ”

After speaking, he frowned, "But what method do we use to subdue ourselves? This dog thief persecuted Emperor Xian, and he has long been unpopular, and if he does too much, the soldiers under his command will easily lose their morale." ”

As soon as he remembered that his only relative, Liu Xie, had been persecuted by Sima Yi for many years, Shi Xin couldn't get angry.

"Actually, we don't have to do anything. As a member of the royal family, the lord only needs to make a gesture to recognize the legitimacy of Sima Yi's identity, and he will naturally think that we are all the way. After all, after the disappearance of Emperor Xian, the Han court existed in name only, and Sima Yi led the title of prime minister, which was a bit unjustifiable. ”

"That's ......," Shi Xin frowned and knocked on the table, "Won't it affect our army?"

Zhuge Liang replied very simply: "It has an impact!"

Shi Xin's head was full of black lines, "This ......"

"Hehe, but we can use this influence to boost our morale. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shi Xin suddenly came to his senses.

"Lord, think about it, in addition to offering the emperor, you are the only person in the Central Plains today who holds the banner of the Han Dynasty, as a last resort, will you admit the existence of a traitor like Sima Yi?"

Shi Xin shook his head: "No." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "That's right, no! But we have no choice but to do this, just because of the current pressure." At that time, we can use the influence of the Holy Sect and the Eagle Tribe, and turn this humiliation into a fighting spirit, and the morale of the soldiers will rise instead of falling. ”

Shi Xin slapped his thigh, "Wonderful! This is the same reason that the mourning soldiers will win." ”

This is a very risky approach, and the conditions for implementation are very high, and it requires a high level of popular will to achieve it. Fortunately, in recent years, under the system of theocracy, the reputation of the Shi Xin regime in the field under its rule and even in the entire Han Dynasty has been as good as the Japanese. His fame reached its peak after Emperor Xian's disappearance, and suddenly, he had become the second monarch of the Han Dynasty, and the people were eagerly awaiting him to end this troubled era as soon as possible.

This provided the conditions for Zhuge Liang's strategy.

Shi Xin studied some details with Zhuge Liang again, Jiang Wei did the paperwork next to him, and this matter was handed over to him and Jia Xu to do.

After Jiang Wei left, Zhuge Liang asked about the identities of Meng Shu and Zhu Rong.

Seeing the two of them staring at Zhuge Liang, Shi Xin asked curiously, "What do you mean by this?"

Meng Shu shook his head, and finally held back a sentence: "What did you just say? Why can't I understand?"

Looking at Zhu Rong's appearance, he had the same questions as Meng Xu.

Shi Xin had the intention to make Zhuge Liang's image even taller, and said with a smile: "Meng Huo, let me ask you, if you go to the battlefield, how many enemies can you kill with your strength?"

Meng Shu thought for a while, and said confidently: "I once heard Uncle Tong say that the ordinary soldiers on the battlefield are of low rank, I estimate that you can kill two hundred in a quarter of an hour, and then you can kill two thousand people in one hour." If it were one day, twelve hours a day, I would have the physical strength to fight for two hours with all my strength, and then fight for one hour with five successful strengths......"

Folded his fingers and counted.

Without waiting for Meng Shu to continue, Shi Xin and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

Shi Xin said: "The enemy will not stand still for you to kill, and the other party also has generals, and there are tactics and formations, so it is not easy to calculate how much you can kill unilaterally." ”

"Well, I've heard Uncle Tong say it too. Meng Huo's face turned red and scratched his head, "How do you answer the lord's question?"

Shi Xin put away his laughter and said solemnly: "Let me give you an example, Zhao Zilong, who is recognized as the number one master in our camp, single-handedly clashed with Cao Ying, killing thousands of enemies in one day and one night, and in the end, if Cao Cao hadn't admired his heroism, he would have been captured." ”

"That'...... That ......" Meng Shu was speechless for a while.

Shi Xin pulled Zhuge Liang, "The strategy of the military division can avoid the situation of our army being attacked on both sides, which is equivalent to saving the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers." You say, isn't he amazing?"

Hearing this, no matter how dull their brains were, Meng Shu and Zhu Rong's eyes when they looked at Zhuge Liang suddenly changed, full of admiration.

Zhu Rongjiao said with a smile: "At the beginning, I saw that the military advisor was polite and polite, and he was powerless. Looking at it now, it looks like it's much taller. ”

Shi Xin also smiled, "Don't think that the military advisor can't fight, and the two of you can't hurt him in the slightest." ”

Meng Shu was reluctant again, and said angrily: "Lord, I admire the wisdom of the military advisor. But when it comes to the actual fight, I don't believe he can beat the two of us. ”

Shi Xin looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile: "Strategist, it seems that I want to trouble you to teach the two children." ”
