Chapter 52: Conspiracy in the Dead of Night
Zhang Meng replied directly: "I'm not familiar with other people's abilities, but, Prime Minister, the last general is willing to complete this arduous task." ”
Zhuge Liang listened, stopped squeaking, lowered his head and thought for a while, and ordered: "This plan is wonderful." Let's talk about it for the time being, and when I think about it again, it's late at night, and you can go back and rest.
You are not allowed to mention it to anyone, only you and I know. Tomorrow night, come back and talk. There you go. ”
Zhang Meng listened and got up to leave. When I walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, I only heard the sound of the bang knocking on the fourth watch, and said with a secret smile: "It's too short to talk speculatively." It seems that the prime minister has been persuaded by me, very good, very good. I guess tomorrow night, the prime minister will definitely make a decision according to my suggestion. ”
Zhang Meng muttered to himself, and suddenly felt the turmoil in his heart, turned up a lot of pride, gritted his teeth and said to himself: "I, Zhang Meng, have crossed over, and after hard work, I have really succeeded in turning into a butterfly!"
Well, I finally got Zhuge Liang's approval, and I am about to start the butterfly effect, and from now on, the world of the Three Kingdoms will set off a earth-shaking change!
It's all because of me!
I, Zhang Meng, will definitely live up to this hot-blooded Three Kingdoms era! ”
Zhang Meng was proud to come here, calmed down and thought about it, and sighed: "How hard I have worked to get to this point!" Well, at this point in time, you can achieve nothing with your bare hands, as long as you slack off.
Fortunately, I dare to act and move with the times······ At this point in time, it's not okay to move with the times! After that, I'll be free to play! Hehehehehe! ”
Zhang Meng sighed here, only then calmed down, took a big stride, and went back to the dormitory to sleep! No wonder people say that "having evil thoughts in the heart is all a problem that comes out of idleness", no, there is a major matter, Zhang Meng immediately forgot about missing Gao Ling and Liu Ying to a foreign country.
When I returned to the dormitory, I collapsed on the bed and immediately began to snore like thunder.
The next night, Zhang Meng had dinner early, went out to watch, and saw that the characters coming and going in front of Prime Minister Zhuge gradually decreased, so he ordered Ma San'er: "You are not allowed to go there, just wait for me here." I went to the prime minister to discuss military affairs, and whoever came to me for anything, told him to wait until tomorrow. ”
Ma San'er agreed, and after Zhang Meng finished speaking, he cleaned up, turned around and walked out of the tent, and came to Zhuge Liang's tent.
When Zhuge Liang saw Zhang Meng coming in, he wasn't necessarily so happy and enthusiastic, he just ordered: "Sit here and talk." ”
So, as he instructed, Zhang Meng came to sit down across from his case, and the two began to talk again under a burning candle that was the thickness of an arm.
Zhuge Liang was a little melancholy, and asked Zhang Meng in a low voice: "This day and night, have you planned the process of implementing the plan?" ”
"The basic plan is clear, Prime Minister."
"I'll listen." So, Zhang Meng reported to Zhuge Liang in detail where he planned to start, take a few characters, where to find Sima Yi, and how to deal with it in the future.
Zhuge Liang listened, nodded from time to time, and did not speak.
After listening to Zhang Meng's introduction, Zhuge Liang still didn't seem excited, just kept pondering, occasionally looked at Zhang Meng, and paused for a while before asking, "Is there anything else to add?" ”
Zhang Meng knew that this matter was very important - more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of Shu were stationed here, and more than 300,000 horses of Wei were opposite, and if Zhuge Liang agreed to implement his plan, these hundreds of thousands of horses would not be able to fight with Wei soldiers for the time being.
Hundreds of thousands of men and horses faced each other, neither fighting nor retreating, and this situation had to be maintained for a long time—at least until Zhang Meng's strategy was successful.
It is indeed not an easy task to maintain this situation for such a long time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Meng felt that he had a great responsibility, and just now when he heard Zhuge Liang ask like this, Zhang Meng thought for a while, and said: "Prime Minister, the last general will go out to implement this plan, and the Prime Minister's strong support and cooperation are needed, otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed." ”
Zhuge Liang listened, and then smiled: "This is natural, as long as you can get things done, hehe, I should use the strength of the whole army to cooperate." You say, just talk directly, don't be verbose. ”
"Okay Prime Minister. In this way, the first point is that after I leave the barracks to implement the plan, our army will still follow your previous deployment - no contact with the Wei soldiers for the time being, no fighting, no contact. Avoid the phenomenon of a little victory and defeat of our army. ”
Zhuge Liang listened and replied: "I know, this must be done. ”
"The second point, Prime Minister, the last general estimates that within these ten days, Meng Da will send someone to secretly send a letter to introduce to the Prime Minister that he will attack Luoyang with the troops of the three counties of Shangyong Jincheng New Town. In order to achieve an anti-Wei situation in which the two sides raised troops and echoed each other, he would also urge the prime minister to raise troops from here to fight Cao Zhen. ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Zhang Meng for a while before asking: "You Zhang Meng, I am the only one who knows about Meng Da's anti-water, although he has not set a date yet, but a few years ago, not long after the death of Emperor Zhaolie, I secretly sent someone to contact Meng Da and encourage him to oppose Cao Wei and return to Shu Han."
Now, you, you, you······ How do you know?
Well, some say you'll predict, will you really do? Divination, who is your master? ”
When Zhuge Liang asked these words, he thought in his heart: "In these years, who else is the person who studies the Book of Changes in the world?" I can't even study this step, how can Zhang Meng predict that things are ten and ten safe. ”
Zhang Meng saw Zhuge Liang asking like this, so he replied truthfully: "Prime Minister, the last general really can't predict, sometimes everything can be seen accurately, and it is based on intuitive feeling.
For example, this time Meng Da wanted to raise troops against the water, which was also estimated according to the development of the situation - at the beginning, Meng Da and Liu Feng did not send troops to rescue Guan Yu in time, so they were always worried that Liu Bei would be held accountable and killed, and it was in this state of mind that he led his troops to surrender to Cao Wei.
At the beginning, Meng Da's talent was highly valued by Cao Pi, so he was entrusted with an important task and ordered him to guard the southwest half of Cao Wei.
Later, Cao Pi died and Cao Rui ascended the throne, and most of the civil and military officials of Wei were disgusted with Meng Da, which made him depressed and unable to stretch his ambitions, so he had the idea of opposing Cao Wei.
Of course, his thoughts are related to the prime minister's secret instigation for many years.
However, Prime Minister, Meng Da is also a person who rides on the wall, he rides on the wall and watches, and when he sees that our army is victorious step by step, he will inevitably come and surrender; On the contrary, if our army fails to defeat Wei, he will not oppose Cao Wei.
At this time, Meng Da had already contacted Shen Tan and Shen Yi in Shangyong Jincheng New Town, and prepared to attack Luoyang at the same time in the three counties. ”
Zhang Meng said this, looked at Zhuge Liang, and waited for his reaction. 2021.10.26
