Liang Guo, Suiyang.

A group of people came here.

The soldiers in front of the city gate didn't know whose children were traveling, so they didn't dare to stop them at all, and they didn't check it, so they hurriedly let them go.

The carriage seemed to have already determined its direction, and hurried towards the Prime Minister's Mansion to the north.

The armor at the gate of the city looked in the direction they were going, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and fortunately did not stop them.

When the carriage stopped at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the door of the mansion was open, and the carriage entered the mansion without hindrance.

When the slaves closed the door, one of them stepped out of the carriage.

This man is eight feet tall, with an elegant and easy-going face, a long beard, and a standard scholar's appearance.

"Meet General Zhengnan!!"

Officials in the palace hurriedly bowed to him.

This person is the general of Zhengnan, Zhuge birthday.

This is the descendant of Zhuge Feng, the captain of the Han Sili, and the cousin of the late Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.

But looking at his appearance, he is still somewhat similar to Zhuge Liang, but he is less tired and more wealthy.

When he was young, he was Shang Shulang, and then he was appointed as the county commander, and then he was appointed as the middle of the imperial history, and the book of Shangshu.

He was quite accomplished in scriptures, and Xiahou Xuan and others were friends, and talked all day long, Cao Rong was a very disgusted person who hated Qing Talk, Cao Rong thought that these guys who sold their reputation were useless to the country, so he was dismissed.

Later, Cao Shuang took power, and promoted Xiahou Xuan and him together, and let him serve as the assassin of Yangzhou and the general of Zhaowu.

It's a pity that Cao Rong is not mistaken, this person really only knows how to talk.

He didn't help Cao Shuang much, and turned a blind eye to everything that happened in the temple.

Even when Xiahou Xuan and others were killed, Biqiu Jian was already furious and wanted to raise troops to fight against the Sima family, but Zhuge Dan was still unmoved.

Historically, he even helped the Sima family send troops to fight against Biqiu Jian.

Obviously, he didn't understand that once Biqiu Jian was killed, then it would be his turn next.

Aside from his surname, he has nothing in common with his cousin, just a short-sighted gatekeeper.

He was not the loyal minister of Cao Wei in later words, he was just a stupid military leader who wanted to continue his rule in the local area, stabbed in the back when Biqiu Jian was crusading with righteousness, and only jumped over the wall when the Sima family wanted to deal with him.

Although he repeatedly emphasized that the reason why he raised troops was to crusade against the Sima family, the real reason was because the Sima family wanted him to enter the temple and remove him from military power, so he raised an army to fight.

Therefore, there is really no problem with the dragon tiger dog.

Of course, he is not without strengths, he is very famous, he can win people's hearts, and the soldiers are willing to fight to the death for him, and his surface kung fu is very good.

Zhuge Dan stroked his beard and asked, "What about the general?" ”

"Please come with me."

A few guards around were about to enter, but Zhuge Dan glared at them, "You guys just stay here!" ”

The guards did not dare to speak.

Zhuge Dan followed the man into the inner room alone.

"Meet the General!"

After entering the inner room, Zhuge Dan hurriedly bowed to the person sitting on the top seat.

Sima Shi didn't know when he appeared here, he sat on the top seat, his face was gloomy, staring at Zhuge Dan below.

"Get up."

"Thank you, General."

Zhuge Dan hurriedly got up, and then looked at the scribe sitting next to Sima Shi in surprise.

This person is about the same age as Zhuge Dan, but he does not have Zhuge Dan's wealthy family, his face is dark, his body is thin, and he looks like a farmer in the field.

But Zhuge didn't dare to underestimate this man at all.

"General Zhenwei!"

This person hurriedly bowed to see Zhuge Day.

He is the Yanzhou Assassin Shi, Zhenwei General Deng Ai.

Although it doesn't look rich, don't get me wrong, Deng Ai was born in a big family, Nanyang Deng's family.

It's just that Deng Ai's situation is more special, he lost his father at a young age, and his life is more embarrassing than that of other families, but he can be regarded as truly experiencing the life of the bottom.

Deng Ai's starting point was much lower than that of these insects in the current dynasty, and earlier, he was forced to move north by the great kindness of Emperor Taizuwu and brought to Runan to farm.

He once herded cattle, farmed the land, and worked hard in the local area for twenty years because he had studied and served as a straw keeper.

Until he relied on many merits to climb to the position of the farmer.

When he went to Luoyang to submit a report, he met a noble man who changed his fate, Ma Yi of Xuanwen Company.

Sima Yi saw at a glance that this guy was not human... Not philistine.

directly recruited him as a subordinate of the Taiwei Mansion and called him a confidant.

Deng Ai made great contributions to the Wei State, and when others were still talking, talking about metaphysics, and singing songs, he never forgot his old profession and farming.

He played to Sima Yi, to engage in water conservancy and tuntian, Sima Yi allowed, Deng Ai is a good hand at farming, in a few years, the national strength of Wei began to soar, Huainan and other places became extremely rich.

He made meritorious contributions all the way, served as the Taishou, repelled the enemy, and now, he has risen to the position of Yanzhou Assassin.

Sima Shi attached great importance to him, and told his younger brother Sima Zhao many times that this duke was strong and could be of great use.

Seeing Deng Ai also appear here, Zhuge Dan narrowed his eyes.

Sima Shi is different from his younger brother, he is not very good at pretending, if Sima Zhao was here, he would have taken Zhuge Dan's hand and called him a brother, and if Cao Chao was here, he would have become Zhuge Chao a long time ago.

Sima Shi was very indifferent, and he asked, "Zhuge Gong is late, why is it that he is late?" ”

Zhuge Dan hurriedly replied: "Please forgive the general, Wu thief is about to move, and he really doesn't dare to leave rashly...."

Sima Shi motioned for Zhuge Dan to sit down, and Zhuge Dan thanked him and placed him on his left side.

"Zhuge Gong, Shi Ji should have told you about the specific things."

"My situation, you have also seen, my eye disease is getting more and more serious, and the thieves will not be eliminated, and I am uneasy."

Zhuge Dan secretly looked at Sima Shi beside him, Sima Shi's situation really looked bad, his face was pale, skinny, and he spoke with noise.

"Please rest assured, people with lofty ideals in the world are willing to serve the temple and repay the king's kindness, and they will not hesitate to die, a few thieves, not enough to worry about!"

Zhuge Dan's voice is loud, just looking at his appearance, anyone will think that this is a capable minister in the world.

Deng Ai was in front of him, no different from an old man in the countryside.

Sima Shi talked to him about the situation in the Central Plains.

Sima Shi knew what Zhuge Dan wanted, all he wanted was self-preservation, and he didn't take Zhuge Dan in his eyes at all, if he could defeat Biqiu Jian, he could hand over part of Biqiu Jian's forces to Zhuge Dan.

Compared with Biqiu Jian, Zhuge Dan's threat is too low, not that his power is too small, but mainly because of the difference between the main generals.

Even if Zhuge Dan fully accepted the power of Biqiu Jian, he would not be afraid, the dog guarding the door, why be afraid?

Of course, Zhuge Dan was also excited in his heart, if he could accept the inheritance left by Biqiu Jian, and then wait for Sima Shi to die of illness, then who else in the world could deal with him? You can rest assured in the place and continue your life today....

The two talked happily and reached a common goal in many places.

Deng Ai just looked at them calmly and didn't say a word.

Deng Ai appeared here, but he was only brought to Zhuge by Sima Shi to show Zhuge Dan.

Deng Ai didn't like these things very much, he thought that if these things could be ended sooner, he could go back to farming.

After chatting for a long time, Sima Shi's body was a little unbearable, so he asked Zhuge Dan to rest first, and decided to continue the discussion after an hour.

Only then did he look at Deng Ai on the side.

His expression was not as indifferent as he was to Zhuge Dan.

"Shizai, I have already read your book, you are right, very thoughtful, agriculture is indeed the foundation of victory, and the importance of food is above the troops."

"Since you think that the local officials don't pay attention to agriculture, they specialize in making travel requests, and their style is flashy and unrealistic, then go and replace them according to your ideas, you don't have to play with me anymore, you can do it yourself."

"In addition, I have agreed to set up rewards to encourage the people to accumulate food and reduce taxes, and I have agreed to it, and the duty of putting an end to this flashy style in the world will be entrusted to you."

Deng Ai was stunned for a moment and hurriedly got up.

"Many.. Many... Many.. General Xie. ”

Sima Shi was about to say something, but he coughed violently again, and this time, he finally subconsciously wanted to cover his left eye.

Deng Ai was shocked.

"I'm fine, don't worry... It's just that I'm a little tired these days... It's a lot of work..."

Sima Shi gritted his teeth and said.

"A letter from Luoyang... More and more..."
