This ride express newspaper came from Liangzhou.

Sensing the urgency of the military situation, the messenger from Liangzhou traveled south almost day and night.

The journey day and night made the messenger look very haggard.

When he shouted the words "urgent military situation" under the city gate of Chengdu, the captain of the city gate of Chengdu did not dare to slack off at all, and after confirming his identity, he hurriedly personally led the messenger to Shangshutai.

And when Zhuge Liang, who was dealing with complicated government affairs, learned the news, the constantly reversing Zhu pen in his hand suddenly stopped.

At the same time, there was a solemn look on his face.

What he feared most happened.

After realizing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked his subordinates to take the military report in the hands of the Liangzhou messenger, and then unfolded it to read it.

Although he already had an inference in his mind, Zhuge Liang still needed more information so that he could make the right decision next.

After reading the military situation written by Fa Miao himself, the solemn look on Zhuge Liang's face became a little more.

At this moment, in this lobby, Zhuge Liang is not alone in the office.

Shang Shu Ling Ma Liang, Shang Shu Ma Yan, Yang Yi and other talents were all in the lobby at this time.

As handsome talents, they quickly noticed the abnormality from Zhuge Liang's face.

When they just heard that there was an urgent military intelligence delivery in Liangzhou, some bad speculations faintly appeared in their hearts.

Now that Ma Liang and the others looked at the look on Zhuge Liang's face, they realized that maybe the situation was even worse than they thought.

As the second highest status in the hall to Zhuge Liang, Ling Ma Liang immediately asked:

"Prime Minister, but there has been a change in the reverse of Wei?"

When asking this sentence, Ma still had some hope in his conscience.

The inference that Wei Jun has made a change can include many aspects, and Ma Liang hopes that it will not be the aspect he least wants to see.

It's just that Zhuge Liang's next answer made Ma Liang feel disappointed, and at the same time, it also made him and several other heroes panic.

"According to Zicheng's report, the anti-Wei is hoarding military strength in Chang'an, and perhaps the enemy army will attack Hanzhong in a big way soon."

When Zhuge Liang said this, his tone was heavy, but after all, he did not lose his composure.

Compared with Zhuge Liang, the reaction of Ma Liang and others was not so calm.

Yang Yi, who has the most impatient personality among all the talents, subconsciously lost his voice and said: "What should I do?" ”

Although the other sages did not lose their voices like Yang Yi, it could be seen from their faces that Yang Yi asked what they wanted to ask.

In fact, those who can assist Zhuge Liang in one hall are all the current talents of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that they react so much because they know more than the average person.

Ma Liang, Ma Yan, Yang Yi and others have been by Zhuge Liang's side recently, and Zhuge Liang will discuss with them whenever he has important matters.

They knew that after Zhuge Liang had completed the affairs of the capital, he would go on a southern expedition.

Even in the recent past, Shangshu Taizhong has issued several documents urging the local government to hand over food and military service.

Obviously, Zhuge Liang has already begun to formally prepare for the southern expedition.

In this case, for Ma Liang and other talents, what they were most worried about was that the anti-Wei in the north would take the opportunity to attack Hanzhong.

Compared with the reverse Wei, the strength of Nanzhong is definitely far inferior.

However, Nanzhong is remote and the terrain is complex, if the Han army sends troops to Nanzhong, then the loss of the Southern Expedition is bound to be low, and it is likely to be a protracted war.

This is not something that can be reversed by human power alone.

This is also the biggest reason why Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang did not attack Nanzhong before.

And if at this time, the reverse Wei attacked Hanzhong on a large scale, then Hanzhong would not be able to get support from Yizhou.

It is true that Mi Yang is currently the number one general in the Han Dynasty, but everyone present understands the truth that if you keep it for a long time, you will lose.

Moreover, the national strength of the anti-Wei is much stronger than that of the Han Dynasty, if the anti-Wei has the heart to fight a protracted war with Mi Yang in Hanzhong, how can it resist with the national strength of a county in Hanzhong alone?

At the beginning of the First World War, in fact, the food in the public security city was almost out of stock.

And if Sun Quan was not in a hurry for quick success and was seized by Mi Yang at that time, then no matter how good Mi Yang was, he would not be able to achieve such brilliant results.

In the face of the gap in national strength, no matter how strong the individual strength is, sometimes it seems quite pale.

As the worries in their minds became deeper and deeper, all kinds of unfavorable situations began to appear in the minds of Ma Liang and others.

They had been hoping that Wei Wei would not make a move, but this was too underestimating the enemy.

The enemy has always had no shortage of talent.

Thinking of this, Ma Liang took the lead in bowing to Zhuge Liang and said: "Prime Minister, if you postpone the southern expedition, our army will concentrate on guarding the north. ”

As soon as Ma Liang's suggestion came out, it was immediately agreed by all the talents present.

Since Dahan can't fight on both sides at the moment, the best way for Dahan is to concentrate on one side.

Compared with Pingding Nanzhong, there is no doubt that Liangzhou, as the gateway to Yizhou, is more important.

It's just that after Zhuge Liang listened to Ma Liang's suggestion, he shook his head slightly.

Ma Liang's suggestion may solve the current dilemma, but it is only a symptom rather than a cure.

Zhuge Liang knew that the Wei army would make a big move, and they were likely to have secretly contacted Nanzhong.

Even if he stopped the southern expedition now and concentrated on the north, wouldn't the Wei army continue to agitate, and would the south and the middle be peaceful?

You must know that the fundamental reason why he is preparing for the southern expedition is that Nanzhong is too deeply involved with the Yizhou family.

When he attacked the Yizhou family, it meant that a battle with Nanzhong was no longer inevitable.

Since it is inevitable that there will be a war with Nanzhong, then it is better to take the initiative in this big war in their own hands.

Moreover, even if Nanzhong is not opposed now, the mission of the Han Dynasty is the Northern Expedition.

At the beginning, Liu Bei also thought about solving the hidden danger of Nanzhong in advance, but was dissuaded by Zhuge Liang at that time.

Because the situation at that time was that the Han had not completely torn his face with the Zhongyizhou family, there was still a certain possibility of peace between the Han and Nanzhong.

But now that they all know that the south and China will be opposed, will this hidden danger be left until the Northern Expedition breaks out in the future?

Ma Liang's suggestion may ensure that Yizhou is stable for a while, but it is not a long-term solution, and Zhuge Liang will not adopt it.

Only by truly pacifying Nanzhong can we completely break the enemy's dilemma of "strangulation between the north and the south."

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a hint of determination, and he instructed Ma Liang: "Inform the ministers and ministers that a court meeting will be held early tomorrow morning." ”

Ma Liang regarded Zhuge Liang as an idol, and he knew Zhuge Liang quite well.

After learning that Zhuge Liang had the intention of convening a court meeting, he roughly guessed what Zhuge Liang's decision was.

Ma Liang wanted to persuade again, but thinking of Zhuge Liang's past style, he sighed secretly in his heart and then took the order to retire.

With Ma Liang's departure, Zhuge Liang saw that it was not early, so he asked Ma Jian and the others to go down to rest first.

After everyone left the lobby, Zhuge Liang read the military newspaper in his hand several times, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he put the military newspaper in his hand aside.

After doing this, Zhuge Liang took care of the government affairs again.

But Zhuge Liang's heart is not as calm as his appearance, when he learned that the Han Dynasty was gradually entering a crisis, how could Zhuge Liang, who was loyal to the country, not feel worried?

Perhaps in the hearts of Ma Liang and the others, when they retreated, they would have thought in their hearts that if they hadn't persecuted the Yizhou family too much at the beginning, then the Han would not have faced the current crisis.

The idea of Ma Liang and others is not wrong, but it is definitely not Zhuge Liang's idea.

Even if he goes back in time, Zhuge Liang predicted everything that happened today, and he would not regret the choice he made at the beginning.

This is one of Zhuge Liang's life creeds.

Perhaps this is the case with the world, which often does not develop steadily according to people's assumptions, and often changes dramatically because of people's choices.

But so what?

Judging from the situation, the current time is not on the side of the Han, but Zhuge Liang is not shaken in his heart.

If the time does not patronize the Han, then he will win the day!

And this is not the first time he has done such a thing.

The red pen in Zhuge Liang's hand flipped up again, but unlike Fang Cai, his current pen seemed more imposing.

As Zhuge Liang's pen tip flipped, the bright red word "chop" continued to flip in Zhuge Liang's calm gaze, like a green dragon that came to life.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang's mind seemed to sound the voice of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

What if the monarch is sick and the country is in trouble?

Only Wolong does not lie down.

...

Since Liu Bei fell ill and ignored political affairs, Zhuge Liang was in charge of the entire Han Dynasty in the name of auxiliary government.

Of course, Zhuge Liang is only an auxiliary minister in name, and there is a prince of the prison country on his head.

It's just that everyone knows that Liu Chan, the prince of the prison country, is just a name.

Therefore, when Zhuge Liang's order to convene a court meeting spread throughout Chengdu, many ministers had spontaneously gathered in the main hall early the next morning, waiting for the convening of the court meeting.

Compared with the last great court meeting, there are many fewer ministers attending the court meeting today.

And where those ministers went, everyone here knew it.

Fortunately, the official system of the Han Dynasty was different from that of later generations, so even if there were many fewer ministers, it would not affect the normal operation of the imperial court too much.

Before the arrival of the crown prince Liu Chan, the ministers present quietly looked at Zhuge Liang who was sitting at the head of the ministers from time to time.

Even if the hosts of the court meeting held today are different, the nature of the court meeting will not change.

The convening of the Korean Council means that matters that affect the fortunes of the country need to be discussed and decided.

It is precisely because of this that many ministers who don't know the inside story are secretly speculating in their hearts about the purpose of Zhuge Liang's convening of the court meeting.

Is it going on a killing spree again?

Only Ma Liang and a few other people in the hall who knew the inside story paid attention to Zhuge Liang with worried eyes.

But no matter what kind of eyes others looked at him, Zhuge Liang kept kneeling calmly on his seat.

His calm temperament made Ma Liang and the others feel as if the emergency military information they received yesterday was fake.

The ministers did not wait long, and after a burst of salute music, Liu Chan, the prince of the prison state, came to the main hall.

When Liu Chan sat in his exclusive seat, all the ministers in the hall got up and saluted Liu Chan.

Liu Chan, who participated in the Great Dynasty Meeting for the first time, was obviously inexperienced.

When many ministers paid homage to him in unison, Liu Chan's immature face showed a bit of panic.

In the past, he was only raised in the deep palace, and he had never seen such a battle.

It's just that the panic on his face gradually dissipated the moment Liu Chan saw Zhuge Liang.

It's good if the father is here.

Liu Chan, who has this layer of sustenance, did not make a fool of himself in the end, he followed the etiquette he learned in his impression, and let the ministers sit down.

When the ministers took their seats again, Shang Shu ordered Ma Liang to walk to the middle of the hall with a military newspaper in his hand and read out the contents.

This military newspaper is the one sent from Liangzhou yesterday.

Therefore, when Ma Liang finished reading out the contents of the military report, the entire hall immediately fell into an uproar.

The uproar was not loud, but it was still a bit noisy.

Not all of them in the hall are virtuous people like Ma Liang, they can't analyze the pros and cons of friends and enemies in an instant like Ma Liang and others, and analyze how unfavorable the current situation is for the Han Dynasty.

But they only need to know one thing - the Wei army is about to attack Liangzhou in a big way.

After learning this, it is understandable that the ministers fell into an uproar.

It is true that in the past time, the Han army has won many victories against the anti-Wei war, but the size of the anti-Wei is still there, and the strong national strength advantage makes him still the first power in the world.

In the face of the large-scale invasion of the world's largest power, no one will feel relaxed.

It's just that everyone thinks that Mi Yang is still in Liangzhou, and their hearts are a little more stable.

Just when a minister came out to make a statement to Liu Chan and urgently allocated a large amount of money, food, and troops to support Liangzhou, Zhuge Liang took the lead in stopping everyone's uproar, and then he continued to release a bombshell news to Liu Chan and the ministers.

"South and China will not be reversed."

Maybe there was only an uproar in the hall, but when Zhuge Liang said the news, the hall was not in an uproar, but fell into a panic in an instant.

There is a strong enemy in the north, a foreign race in the south, and the north and the south are jointly attacked by the enemy, which minister can keep calm in such news?

Especially Liu Chan.

Originally, he already felt that his head was big when he heard that Wei was going to attack Liangzhou, but now he heard that Nanzhong was going to rebel, and his already chaotic head fell into a downtime in an instant.

】

An emotion that was more flustered than that of the ministers appeared on Liu Chan's face.

He was in a hurry and almost got up from his throne.

In the midst of a strong panic, there were still several ministers who reacted quickly and got up to speak to Liu Chan, asking Liu Chan to hurriedly transfer back to Miyang to pacify Nanzhong.

Compared with the Wei army's unknown action, Nanzhong is in Yizhou, and of course the fire is close first.

But before this suggestion took over, many ministers vetoed this suggestion - transfer back to Miyang, who will guard Liangzhou?

Is it possible to transfer Zhang Fei back, so who will guard Jingzhou?

Under this concern, many ministers fell into the situation of six gods and no masters.

Of course, there were still some ministers who put forward some pertinent suggestions, that is, to let Liu Chan send envoys to pacify Nanzhong, and then mobilize troops to assist Miyang in garrisoning Liangzhou.

It's just that this kind of suggestion was refuted by other ministers, and when someone suggested that someone refute it, the panic in the court of the Han Dynasty became more and more serious.

At this time, Zhuge Liang first raised his hand to suppress the panic in the hall with his own prestige, and then he came to Liu Chan's side and bowed and said:

"Liangzhou can't go back, and Nanzhong can't be touched.

The minister is willing to personally lead the army to conquer Nanzhong! ”

Zhuge Liang's voice was loud and powerful, like a clear dragon chanting.

It's just that his words made the ministers of the palace look at him with surprised eyes.

Is it feasible to ask for a blind date?
