It was immediately decided that Xu Shu and Ma Le would go to Jincheng first, and act at the opportunity to rescue Ma Chao, and Liu Qi would transfer troops from Hanzhong and be ready to respond at any time.

Liu Qi said with a smile: "The ancients said: People are not satisfied, they are not satisfied, they are both peaceful and look at Shu. Today, Shu Zhong has been determined early, just the opposite, anti-Pinglongshang, and then set the customs. ”

Pang Tong couldn't sit still, and said: "I've been bored recently, since the war in Guanzhong is about to start, why don't I go to Hanzhong and help Wen Chang." ”

"This time to send troops, we should take advantage of the situation to send troops to Qishan, collect Longshang in one fell swoop, Dingxi Liang, stabilize Guanzhong, and Liang is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses."

Pang Tong was dissatisfied: "The Central Plains still needs Kong Ming's mediation, Nanyang is indispensable to you, the war in Guanzhong, you don't want to compete with me!" ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "The two of you don't have to fight, this time the troops are out of Qinchuan, I am afraid that it will take years and months, only the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong are not enough, and we need to transfer troops from Yizhou, I will go in person, Jingzhou is also dispatched by the second uncle and the military division, waiting for the opportunity to enter the Central Plains, it is a safe plan." ”

Pang Tong nodded and smiled: "Now that Jiangdong has become an ally, there is no worries, and it is in line with Kong Ming's plan to divide the world: General Guan will send Jingzhou's army to the Central Plains, and we will come out of Qinchuan from another way." Kong Ming got what he wanted, and when the hegemony was about to be achieved, it was still safe to guard Jingzhou. ”

Zhuge Liang sighed: "The main worry is about the ministers, and the labor expedition is the responsibility of the general, but the general has to fight a hundred battles in the south, and we can't share the worries for the Lord, isn't it that I am laughed at by people that I have no one in Jingzhou and no one in the Han family?" ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "This is a bad statement, if you talk about internal political cultivation, no one in the entire Jingzhou can compare with the military division, only if you sit in Jingzhou, I can send troops with peace of mind." Ma Chao is unruly, Xiliang people's hearts are not attached, if I don't go in person, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and settle Qinchuan as soon as possible, so as to chase the Central Plains. ”

Now there is only Han Sui in Xiliang, only Xiahou Yuan in Guanzhong, Cao Cao and Sima Yi are not there, and Liu Qi is confident that he still has the strength to fight.

Zhuge Liang's role is not only to be a military advisor, but also to take care of the rear and coordinate all political affairs.

If the positions of the two are reversed, Zhuge Liang will go to Qishan to make up for historical regrets, and if he stays in Jingzhou, can he do better than Zhuge Liang, is it not looking for guilt?

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "The general is going, and the soldiers are going to be divided into two ways, all the way to see the opportunity in Hanzhong, all the way out of Qishan to pacify Longyou, only Shiyuan is afraid that it will be difficult to separate." ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Don't forget that Fa Xiaozhi is still recuperating in Lingling, and he is also nine times out of ten at this time, the two of us will go together, Kong Ming but relax." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "There is a law of filial piety to accompany me, I don't have to worry about it!" ”

Liu Qi said: "The situation in the Central Plains is treacherous, only when the military division is in Nanyang, can we peel off the cocoon and look for fighters, I think General Guan has long been unable to hold back, and he still needs to be appeased." As the so-called accumulation of thick and thin, the two civil and military are in harmony, and the day they send out the army, they will definitely shake the world and reverse the situation. ”

Liu Qi also knew that Zhuge Liang had been governing internal affairs since he came out of the mountain, from governing the people to the law, and even opening up fields and manufacturing waterwheels, all of which were praised.

is the only one who has not really shown his strengths in the military, even if he is indifferent and ambitious, but in the troubled times, everyone is making contributions, and he is a little itchy.

Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and said: "General rest assured, Liang is not a person who is willful, the time has not come, he will never take risks, the battle of the Central Plains, if he does not move, he will not move, and if he moves, Cao Jun will have no power to fight back." ”

Liu Qi nodded and said: "Jingzhou has enough money and food, soldiers and horses are sharp, and the war in the Central Plains depends on the planning and scheduling of military divisions." If Mr. can ask Xun Yu to go out of the mountain and dispatch the rear before this, he can go all out to send troops, and there will be no worries! ”

Pang Tong laughed when he heard this: "In the past, the general took care of the thatched house in order to invite Wolong out of the mountain, and he didn't want Kong Ming to take care of the thatched house again today, it is really a good reincarnation of heaven!" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly, although Xun Yu was disappointed in Cao Cao's actions, he did not really usurp after all, let him plan for Liu Qi again, that is, change hands and two ministers, and he did not want to destroy his reputation.

Liu Qi said again: "Zhou Yu has secretly gone to Qu'a, preparing to go north, and entrusting me with the investigation of Sun Ce, and this matter will also be troubled by the full deployment of the military division, and when Sun Quan leads the troops to the north and Jiangdong is empty, find out this matter as soon as possible." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "General rest assured, there is Tai Shixiang in Jianye to do internal response, and Gongjin has left people to respond, and this matter will definitely be investigated." ”

Pang Tong also felt sorry for Zhou Yu, and sighed: "Gongjin and Sun Bofu took care of each other, single-handedly created a great foundation, and when they were about to develop their ambitions, they were destroyed by the hands of the villain's conspiracy, which is really regrettable." ”

Zhuge Liang sighed: "Zhou Lang Wen Tao Wu strategy, magnificent, Han Xin's ability, if there is no interference in this matter, the people of Jiangdong will be able to compete for the world, what a pity?" ”

Liu Qi nodded and said: "Although Sun Jian's father and son have a feud with me, they have served the country and leveled the territory, and they are also heroes in the world. ”

Liu Qi never thought that once he went to Soochow, he would find out this shocking secret and completely change the fate of Soochow.

Zhou Yu no longer contributes wholeheartedly to Sun's planning, and the entire Eastern Wu has actually withdrawn from the ranks of the hegemony and has become a palace fighting drama full of doubts.

While sighing, Pang Tong smiled again: "But now that Zhou Lang and Tai Shici are all generals, once the affairs of Jiangdong are clarified, they can sit back and reap the profits and bring this foundation into their hands." At that time, Qinchuan has been decided, the world will be divided into two, and it will be enough to fight against Cao thieves, compete in the Central Plains, and the day of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty is not far away! ”

Liu Qi hugged his fists to Zhuge Liang and said: "The military advisor has the three important tasks of ruling Jingzhou, plotting the Central Plains, and planning Jiangdong. ”

Zhuge Liang also realized the heavy responsibility, got up and saluted: "General Domeng trusts, Liang Cheng is afraid, and he will die after doing his best." ”

Pang Tong tugged at his beard and pouted: "Actually, Feng Xiao can also do it." ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned: "It's better for Shi Yuan to take over the post of Changshi and Don't Drive, and Liang can lead the troops out of Qishan." ”

Pang Tong waved his hand lazily and said: "It's just that my bird is used to being idle, and I don't want to get entangled in mundane affairs." Kong Ming is cautious, he is the talent of the prime minister, but he is only a military staff officer, which is inevitably overkill. ”

"What kind of bird are you?" Zhuge Liang smiled: "It's clearly a phoenix!" ”

Pang Tong raised his eyebrows: "Kong Ming, are you scolding?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "The bird flies far away with the phoenix, and the mediocre talent under the phoenix chick is considered an ordinary bird." ”

Pang Tong snorted, although he was useful, he always felt that it was not a taste in his heart.

It was rare for Liu Qi to see Zhuge Liang also bickering, laughing on the side, and invited Yi, Liu Xian, Mi Zhu and others to discuss the matter, explain all the things in Jingzhou, and select the generals of the Northern Expedition.

As soon as the civil and military forces saw this formation, they knew that a new war would start again, and they all cheered up and worked hard.

The next day, when the banquet was being practiced, the defenders reported that Guan Yu had arrived in Xiangyang, and Liu Qi hurriedly greeted him and asked, "The second uncle is training in Nanyang, how can he come uninvited?" ”

Guan Yu has studied the Spring and Autumn Period with Li Dian in the past two years, and he has a lot of experience, and his bearing is becoming more and more calm and elegant, and he hugged his fists and smiled: "Guan Mou has come to visit everyone!" ”
