Zhuge Liang knew what Liu Feng was thinking, but he didn't care, and he didn't regret his original words.

In fact, Zhuge Liang didn't know that in terms of ability alone, Liu Feng was far above Liu Chan.

The reason why Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei "abandon Feng and establish Chan" was not because some people in later generations had guessed, because he was afraid that he would not be able to monopolize power after Liu Feng succeeded to the throne, nor because he had a closer relationship with Liu Chan.

When Zhuge Liang joined Liu Bei, Liu Chan was just an infant child.

Children under the age of 10 in the world basically do not attract too much attention from adults, because the mortality rate of children in the world is too high, which is also the reason why children have a cheap name before the age of 10.

Therefore, when Zhuge Liang took refuge in Liu Bei, Liu Feng was Liu Bei's first heir in terms of both legal theory and human feelings.

For this reason, Liu Bei also asked Zhuge Liang to teach Liu Feng for a period of time, but it was this experience that made Zhuge Liang see Liu Feng's personality clearly.

There is no doubt that Liu Feng is talented, but he has two things that make Zhuge Liang worried.

The first aspect is Liu Feng's character.

Although Liu Feng is assertive but self-serving, he has a resolute temperament but is easily irritable and irritable, such a character is not safe to become a general, how can he become a king who is in charge of the fate of a country?

Sometimes inaction is more damaging than inaction.

On the contrary, although Liu Chan has a gentle temperament, he can know how to be good as a stream, corporal Lixian, once Liu Chan becomes an emperor, it is naturally impossible to make much achievement, but it is also rare to make a big mistake with the assistance of virtuous ministers.

Compared with the two, Zhuge Liang, who has a cautious temperament, certainly belongs to Liu Chan.

As for the other reason, Zhuge Liang didn't want Liu Bei to fall into civil strife after a hundred years.

Liu Feng is de jure Liu Bei's stepson, but it is also true that he has no blood relationship with Liu Bei, which may not be too concerned by Liu Bei, but what about Liu Feng himself?

The natural lack of blood will definitely make Liu Feng have doubts, which is human nature.

And Liu Chan is the second son of Liu Bei in law, but he is the eldest son of Liu Bei in blood, which will inevitably cause ambition to be sought after.

Even if Liu Chan has no intention of seizing the throne with Liu Feng, but under the influence of doubts in his heart, Liu Feng will not attack Liu Chan after ascending the throne?

Even against those living "younger brothers".

After all, for Liu Feng, clearing all the princes in the world who are really related to Liu Bei can make his throne permanent.

In terms of Liu Feng's temperament, what Zhuge Liang was worried about is likely to become a reality, and this reality will drag the Han into a situation from which he will never recover.

There are strong enemies waiting outside, and if there is another civil strife inside, the dream of the revival of the Han Dynasty will definitely fail.

Therefore, for Liu Bei's plan and the Han's plan, Zhuge Liang did not approve of Liu Feng becoming the prince of the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang thinks that all his choices are for the sake of the Han, and as for whether his choice will cause Liu Feng's jealousy, it is not within his consideration.

After Liu Feng welcomed Zhuge Liang into the Sword Pavilion, he visited again in the big tent.

Zhuge Liang is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Feng is only a general of the Han Dynasty, even if he is the prince of the Han Dynasty, as long as Zhuge Liang enters the Sword Pavilion, it means that he will obey Zhuge Liang's command next.

When he visited the shrine, Liu Feng's tone was slightly stiff: "Feng pays a visit to the prime minister." ”

Liu Feng is not a person who is good at forbearance, and he vividly reflects his dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang in his tone.

You must know that before Zhuge Liang explicitly supported Liu Chan, Liu Feng, who had been taught by Zhuge Liang, respectfully called Zhuge Liang "teacher".

It's just that Zhuge Liang didn't seem to notice Liu Feng's emotions, and after Liu Feng paid homage to him, he asked Liu Feng to retreat first.

After Liu Feng retired, Deng Ai, who had been beside him, finally couldn't help but mention to Zhuge Liang the strategy he had offered to Liu Feng some time ago.

Deng Ai didn't want to sue Liu Feng, he just thought that Liu Feng didn't agree, but Zhuge Liang would definitely agree.

Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang have the love of master and apprentice.

To Deng Ai's surprise, Zhuge Liang, like Liu Feng, categorically vetoed Deng Ai's proposal.

This made Deng Ai finally reluctant to retreat.

Deng Ai couldn't understand why Zhuge Liang would refuse his proposal, and he didn't even try.

After Deng Ai left, only a few of Zhuge Liang's henchmen were left in the big tent.

As the head of the confidants, Yang Yi, the chief bookkeeper, took the lead in showing some worries about Liu Feng's behavior just now:

"General Kou's face is different, and I am afraid that he will not obey the prime minister's command in the future."

Don't look at Yang Yi being respectful in front of Zhuge Liang, but he is actually an extremely arrogant person.

With Yang Yi's temperament, of course, he can't get used to what Liu Feng did just now.

And Zhuge Liang did not refute Yang Yi's reminder after listening to it, which means that he also has the same opinion as Yang Yi in his heart.

But Zhuge Liang didn't want to conflict with Liu Feng over such a trivial matter, he just told a few henchmen present: "Bear with each other for the country." ”

This is Zhuge Liang's attitude towards Liu Feng, and it is also Zhuge Liang's advice to several henchmen.

Now that the war is imminent, he doesn't want internal problems in the Han army.

In the face of Zhuge Liang's advice, Yang Yi, who had an angry face, could only retreat silently.

After this little episode, Zhuge Liang immediately asked Ma Yan, who was standing on the other side: "Have you issued any military orders for the allocation of grain, grass and troops to various places?" ”

In the original crusade against Huang Yuan, Ma Tan was reprimanded by Deng Ai for affecting the morale of the army, and since then he has been sent back to Chengdu to recuperate.

Later, after Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu, he took Ma Jian with him before leading the troops north.

It's just that compared with the military aircraft that he often worked with Ma Jian in the past, Zhuge Liang took Ma Jian with him this time, and let him be responsible for some government affairs.

After several poor performances, Zhuge Liang finally knew Ma Tan's shortcomings in military strategy.

Ma Jian was very grateful that Zhuge Liang did not abandon him, and under Zhuge Liang's inquiry, Ma Jian quickly replied to Zhuge Liang:

"It was sent out a few days ago."

After hearing Ma Yan's reply, Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction.

After that incident, Ma Yan's temperament was much calmer, and he became more and more thoughtful.

Although he came to the Sword Pavilion at the moment, he did not bring many troops, and many of them were still resting in Chengdu.

He came to the Sword Pavilion first, and he also wanted to take a closer look at the enemy's military situation.

And if you want to complete the idea in your heart, it is not enough to rely on the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses he brought back - you have to do the same as back then, and devote the entire power of Yizhou.

This requires the cooperation of all parts of Yizhou.

Fortunately, Mi Yang's persistence in Liangzhou bought valuable time for the Han Dynasty.

With the arrival of the new year, new soldiers are being conscripted into the army, and mature grain and straw are also being harvested and stored in an orderly manner, all of which is the confidence in Zhuge Liang's heart.

After knowing that things were going according to his vision, Zhuge Liang waved his hand to let everyone stand back.

Next, he had to think about how he could inform Mi Yang of Nan Zheng's idea in his heart.

If Mi Yang didn't know what he had in mind and couldn't cooperate with him within Liangzhou, then everything would be in vain.

But on the contrary, if Mi Yang can cooperate well with him, the battle he fought with Mi Yang this year will definitely become a beautiful talk for the ages in the future.

Deng Ai has been in a very bad mood these days.

He thought that Zhuge Liang would take his advice for the sake of the relationship between master and apprentice, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to adopt the strategy of standing still in the end.

Deng Ai didn't know that Zhuge Liang had the reason that he would not move, but when he thought that Mi Yang was in a bloody battle, Deng Ai's heart seemed very irritable.

After several days of irritability, Deng Ai finally decided to go out to hunt.

After the previous defeat, Cao Hong retreated several miles and camped, which made the Wei army more than ten miles away from the Sword Pavilion.

There are many mountains and forests within these ten miles, which is suitable for Deng Ai to relieve his mood by hunting.

After descending from the wall of the Sword Pavilion with more than a dozen cronies in a hanging basket, Deng Ai took a bow and crossbow and walked towards the dense forest outside the Sword Pavilion with a dozen cronies.

The time is close to summer, which is the active period of animals in the mountains and forests, and with the cooperation of two pairs, it didn't take long for Deng Ai and his cronies to shoot down a lot of prey.

A bumper harvest was a joyful event, but it was clear that Deng Ai's mood had not eased much.

The mountains are full of tall trees and weeds, and even at noon, the sunlight cannot be arbitrarily projected into the world under Deng Ai's feet.

The shadowy sunlight makes the whole dense forest seem extremely deep.

Due to the boredom in his heart, Deng Ai inadvertently took his cronies and walked towards the depths of the dense forest step by step, or in this secluded environment, so that Deng Ai's mood could improve a little.

But in the process of marching, Deng Ai inadvertently heard some strange noises.

Not only Deng Ai heard it, but even the dozen or so cronies around him also noticed this.

Deng Ai and the others thought that a large beast appeared around, but after listening quietly, Deng Ai and the others quickly discovered that something was wrong.

Those strange noises were rapidly approaching their location from far and near, and after getting closer and closer, Deng Ai and the others finally heard the chaotic footsteps clearly.

And from the sound of the footsteps, it could be heard that it was definitely not a large beast approaching them.

The large beasts in the mountains and forests have a strong sense of territory, and most of them are solitary animals, and if a single large beast appears, the footsteps will not be so chaotic.

Moreover, most of the animals in the mountains are good at jumping, and the footsteps they hear are chaotic but do not stop, which does not fit the characteristics of animal infestation.

After realizing this, Deng Ai made a look and asked his cronies to hide separately.

He wanted to see what kind of person was coming towards him.

If Orion still says it, but if it is the enemy's scheming words, then it is inevitable that a small ambush will be carried out.

After letting his cronies disperse, Deng Ai also bent his body and hid behind a large tree, his eyes fixed on the direction where the footsteps were heard.

Deng Ai didn't have to wait long, and soon he saw several scrawny men appear in his sight.

And from the weapons in the hands of those men, it can be seen that these people are by no means hunters.

Seeing this, Deng Ai was about to order the cronies who were in ambush around him to rush out together, but as those people got closer and closer, Deng Ai was surprised to find that although the clothes of those people were already in tatters, they gave him an extremely familiar feeling.

After taking a closer look, Deng Ai couldn't help but be shocked, it was the outfit of Miyang's pro-army.

Although there are only 1,000 people in the Miyang army, they are the most elite existence in the entire Liangzhou army.

In order to reflect the particularity of the pro-army, Mi Yang made some changes on the basis of the regular military uniform of the Han army, and gave his pro-army wear.

Deng Ai, as Mi Yang's henchman, of course knew about it, Deng Ai not only knew that he had been with Mi Yang all the year round, and he couldn't be more clear about Mi Yang's pro-army attire.

After realizing that these people might be Mi Yang's pro-army, Deng Ai couldn't hold back any longer, and he rushed towards those people first.

And as Deng Ai rushed out, more than a dozen cronies who had been ambushed around him also appeared together, surrounding those people.

The few people who were marching were already in a situation of cup, bow and snake shadow at all times, and when they suddenly saw someone in the dense forest rushing out and surrounding them, they immediately raised their weapons to protect themselves.

But before the two sides officially fought, Deng Ai's shout was the first to be issued:

"I am Deng Ai, the chief bookkeeper of Liangzhou, who are you!"

Under Deng Ai's self-reported name, the first of those people looked at Deng Ai fixedly.

It's okay not to look at it, when Deng Ai's figure coincided with an impression in his mind, this person threw down the weapon in his hand with tears in his eyes and ran in the direction of Deng Ai.

When the fellow sees the fellow, he goes in both directions.

Under the two-way rush, the man soon came to Deng Ai's body, and at this moment, Deng Ai completely saw the person's appearance.

This person is one of the guards who often guards Miyang.

After Deng Ai recognized his identity, he couldn't help but grab his collar and asked sharply:

"How are you here, how can you be here!

What about the generals?

What about the rest of our army! ”

Mi Yang's personal guards wandered in the dense forest as if they had been defeated, which was difficult not to make Deng Ai have a very bad conjecture in his heart.

Under this conjecture, where can Deng Ai remain calm.

In the face of Deng Ai's sharp questioning, after this person stabilized his mind, he said to Deng Ai:

"On the orders of the general, we traveled through the mountains and forests to the Sword Pavilion to report the news.

The general is fine, and so is Liangzhou! ”

The man quickly reported everything he knew.

If he didn't hurry up, he might be eaten by Deng Ai.

After hearing that everything was Mi Yang's arrangement and Mi Yang was fine, Deng Ai gradually regained his composure.

But then a new question surfaced in his mind.

"What is the letter that the general asked you to report?"

Deng Ai's inquiry made this person hesitate a little, but thinking of Deng Ai's identity, he told Deng Ai the content of his specific mission.

And Deng Ai was stunned for a moment after listening to the words.

Then a smile of surprise appeared on his face.

is worthy of being a general, he knows that it is impossible for a general to sit still, he must have a way!

Deng Ai immediately realized the urgency of the matter, and he immediately asked more than a dozen cronies to take these comrades and return towards the Sword Pavilion as quickly as possible.

As for those prey, they were completely abandoned in the dense forest by Deng Ai.

What is it to hunt the flying rabbit and pheasant, what he is going to hunt next is the tiger and wolf division of the Wei army!
