On the other side, Zhuge Liang is leading his soldiers to clean up the family heroes in the land of Sichuan and Shu, and during this time, the family heroes in the land of Sichuan and Shu have suffered heavy losses.

The children or officials of the family who were originally more active in the family have left, and the entire Sichuan and Shu family has been chaotic.

While Zhuge Liang was cleaning up the family, he sent spies to inquire about Cao Cao's dynamics in all directions.

It's a pity that Zhuge Liang's luck is not good, and the spies sent several times in a row have not heard back.

On this day, Zhuge Liang received an urgent flying pigeon from Liu Bei.

After Zhuge Liang read it, his brows furrowed, and he sighed in his heart: "Could it be that Cao Cao already knows our movements?" ”

But the development of things has come to this, and Zhuge Liang can't afford any more hesitation.

Zhuge Liang immediately gathered his subordinates and said to everyone solemnly: "I just received an urgent flying pigeon message, Liu Yu and Cao Cao are secretly planning to attack our army. Our army must make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"Liu Yu and Cao Cao?" His subordinates were talking.

Zhuge Liang continued: "According to my judgment, this should be true.

However, they did not dare to attack rashly, but were accumulating strength, hoping to launch a thunderous blow at a critical time. So we have to solve this hidden danger as soon as possible, otherwise we will be attacked on our backs. ”

"What Kong Ming said makes sense, our top priority now is to solve Liu Bei." Chen Deng stood up and said.

Zhuge Liang saw Chen Deng's actions, and couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, Chen Deng was not as loyal and upright as he appeared, and his ambition was very big.

Others chimed in, expressing their willingness to support Zhuge Liang's actions.

Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction, he believed that with his wisdom and ability, he would definitely be able to take Yizhou in the short term, and even take advantage of this opportunity to expand his power.

"Since everyone is supporting me, let's send troops now." Zhuge Liang said.

"Obey the orders of the military advisor!" The crowd replied in unison.

Then Zhuge Liang led the army to the west to kill.

After Liu Bei learned the news of Zhuge Liang's troops, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, they didn't have many troops in their hands now.

Although Zhuge Liang is resourceful, after all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

In his opinion, if you want to take Yizhou in such a short period of time, you still need to sit in charge yourself.

It's just that now Liu Bei can't pull himself out, so he can only pray that Zhuge Liang and others can successfully take Yizhou.

Liu Bei could only pray for God's blessing, so that Liu Yu and Cao Cao were both defeated, and finally he was profited.

Liu Bei's target now is in the direction of Jingzhou, because Cao Ang seems to be about to start a decisive battle against Liu Biao.

The other side.

Cao Ang sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Xiahou Yuan sat quietly beside him, silently waiting for orders.

Cao Ang glanced at Xiahou Yuan a few times, and asked with a smile: "General Xiahou, what do you think of Kong Ming?" ”

Xiahou Yuan's face changed slightly, and after a long groan, he replied: "This person is quite resourceful and a character, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong place, if he serves under the lord, he will definitely be able to grow into a famous general!" ”

Xiahou Yuan is not wrong, Zhuge Liang is indeed very smart, he has this ability, but unfortunately he surrendered to Liu Bei, and finally ended up in a bleak end.

Xiahou Yuan had seen Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness and admired him very much.

Cao Ang said again: "General Xiahou, although Kong Ming is resourceful, he has an arrogant personality, I am afraid it will be difficult to recruit." ”

"Childe, the last general thinks that this person is not a big deal, as long as he is given enough benefits.

As long as it can be used, why bother with those, if the son has a heart, there is no possibility of success. Xiahou Yuan admonished.

Cao Ang shook his head: "General Xiahou doesn't know, this person is loyal to Liu Bei, and it is very difficult to rebel." ”

"This." Xiahou Yuan hesitated, he knew Zhuge Liang's temper, and it was indeed difficult to rebel.

Xiahou Yuan thought for a while: "Childe, since this is the case, then let's salute first and then soldiers, prepare all the gifts, and then invite Zhuge Liang to the banquet and try to recruit An, if he doesn't agree, then there is only force." ”

Xiahou Yuan is right, Zhuge Liang has a very deep affection for Liu Bei, don't look at him usually being polite to everyone.

But Liu Bei has a life-saving grace for him, he will not betray Liu Bei, even if he is threatened with death, Zhuge Liang will still not betray. So Cao Ang could only choose to be forced.

Cao Ang nodded, Xiahou Yuan said that it was indeed the safest way.

Xiahou Yuan looked at Cao Ang's expression and asked again, "Childe, do you think the last general's proposal is feasible?" ”

Cao Ang said bitterly: "Maybe it's okay, but." ”

"But what? Childe said. Xiahou Yuan asked.

"But this matter must go through my father, and this matter must be considered in the long run, and it is not something that can be decided now."

Cao Ang shook his head, put this matter down for the time being, and wait for an opportunity to discuss it slowly.

Xiahou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately Cao Ang was not a reckless person, otherwise he didn't know what kind of problems he would face.

That same evening.

Cao Ang held his wine glass, sat quietly in the tent and drank, he was in a very happy mood, he had done all the preparations, just waiting for Liu Qi to take the bait.

"Report." A soldier's voice sounded outside the door: "General Qiyu, the spies are coming to report, Liu Qi has sent a messenger to visit you." ”

"Oh? Did he finally take it easy? Cao Ang sneered, "Bring him in." ”

"No!" The soldier answered and walked out of the tent.

"The last general meets the general!" Liu Qi's envoy knelt on the ground.

"Get up, Ben will ask you, what is Liu Qi looking for me?" Cao Ang asked.

"General Hui, my son-in-law wants to tell you that he is your best partner, don't be deceived by Liu Cong's rhetoric." Liu Qi's envoy said with a straight look.

"Oh, really?" Cao Ang smiled faintly.

"General, don't believe Liu Cong's words, this Liu Cong is a despicable villain, he is just using you at all, he wants to borrow a knife to kill people." Liu Qi's envoy said anxiously.

"Humph!" Cao Ang snorted coldly, stood up, walked up to Liu Qi's envoy and said, "We are all smart people, do you think I will believe your nonsense?" ”

"General, Liu Cong is insidious and cunning, and he can't be trusted." Liu Qi's envoy said excitedly.

Cao Ang touched his chin, and he instantly knew what kind of calculation this Liu Gongzi was making, and he was not annoyed, but smiled.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll give you a chance, you go back and tell Liu Qi that my son can see him.

But you must show enough sincerity, if you can't satisfy this son, then I would rather form an alliance with Liu Cong. ”

Liu Qi's envoy was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, general, please rest assured, my son-in-law will obey the order." (End of chapter)
