Chapter 18: How Can You Fear Him?
"I heard that Zhuge Zhan of Shu is a capable person like his father, if Shu wants to reuse him, I'm afraid something big will happen!"
For a time, similar rumors appeared in various parts of Yongliang.
This is an area directly facing Shu, and for many years, the topic of facing Shu is very marketable here, and it can always cause heated discussions.
Recently, there has been the most news about Zhuge Zhan, and everyone boasts that his talent is the same as that of his father, and if he is allowed to be the commander, the Wei State will be in danger.
"General!!"
A rough warrior hurriedly walked into the Zhenxi General's Mansion at this moment.
This person looked even more rude than Deng Ai, his eyes were particularly sharp, Deng Ai was flipping through the books at the moment, and when he saw him coming, he put down the books in his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down.
"General, there are rumors everywhere, touting what Zhuge Zhan wants, trying to disturb our military morale and weaken our fighting spirit, but the county commanders and county guards everywhere do not pay attention to this matter, and even openly discuss this matter."
"This is extremely bad for us, and if we allow these rumors to spread, we will definitely be frustrated!"
Someone called Pang Hui.
His father is Pound, that's right, he is the Pound who fought with Guan Yu and was executed after being defeated and unwilling to surrender.
Cao Cao and Cao Pi both lamented this incident many times and rewarded several of his children as the Marquis of Guannei.
Pang Hui is relatively outstanding among his brothers, he has served as a general in many war zones, and now he is serving as a miscellaneous general in the Yongliang war zone, under Deng Ai.
It can be seen that he is very unhappy with local rumors.
Deng Ai was very calm.
He knew about it earlier, and although no one told him the details, he had already guessed the general situation as soon as he guessed.
Battle of Changping.
He didn't know which person in the military department came up with a strategy, but he had to say that this strategy was really insidious.
Deng Ai looked at the indignant Pang Hui and asked, "Are you afraid of Zhuge Zhan?" ”
Pang Hui was stunned, "Milky little baby, how can I be afraid of him?!" ”
"Well, then, why bother?"
"Zhuge Liang died, how many years has it been in the world, and today's armor soldiers, can they still be afraid of his son?"
Deng Ai asked rhetorically.
Pang Hui wanted to speak and stopped, if he spoke again now, wouldn't he be afraid of Zhuge Zhan?
Looking at Pang Hui, whose face was flushed, Deng Ai hesitated for a moment, and then said: "No, no, however, the concerns of the local people are not unreasonable. ”
"When Luo Xian of Shu surrendered, His Majesty asked him about the situation in Shu and how to guard against Jiang Wei."
Pang Hui was stunned, "Then what did Luo Xian say?" ”
"Luo Xian said that Jiang Wei should not be worried, what he should worry about is Zhuge Zhan, if Zhuge Zhan is valued by the emperor of Shu, it will be a disaster for Wei."
Pang Hui was a little dazed at the moment, "Could it be that this guy really has some skills?" ”
Deng Ai motioned for Pang Hui to come close to him, and then ordered: "This, this, this matter, don't spread it, I, I have a very important thing to explain to you." ”
Pang Hui said very seriously: "Please rest assured, the minister will never spread the word, you can tell me if you have something!" ”
Deng Ai then said: "Zhu, Zhuge Zhan is young this year, if it is reused in the future, it will definitely become a hidden danger for us, you go to find some death row prisoners, tell them, if you can sneak into Shu and kill Zhuge Zhan, you will pardon their crimes and make their families marquis." ”
Pang Hui was a little surprised, "General, if you want to assassinate him, why don't you send an elite armor soldier there?" ”
"A soldier is too easy to find, death row prisoners are the best, even if these people are caught, they can say that they are running out, and it will not affect the overall situation."
Pang Hui suddenly realized, he immediately stood up, "Please rest assured, General!" ”
He hurriedly turned around and left here, and Deng Ai slowly picked up the book in front of him.
Since the people in the temple want to help themselves, they have to work hard.
Just help them push them forward.
And after Pang Hui left, the news became more and more outrageous.
And the source of this sentence is also vacillating between Zhong Hui and Luo Xian.
Soon, the news was found out by the Shu people.
Hanzhong.
In the General's Mansion, Jiang Wei looked at the many recitals placed aside, and then looked at the scout in front of him.
"Yongliang is talking about it like this?"
"General, there are discussions like this in many places, Cao Thief has already reacted, and he is not allowed to discuss this matter anymore, and the violators will be arrested, it is said that it is a direct order from Deng Ai, the general of Zhenxi."
When the scout talked about it, there was a clear pride and excitement in his eyes, and even some anticipation.
The people of Shu all miss Zhuge Wuhou.
When Zhuge Liang was still there, Shu often went on expeditions, but at that time, they didn't have to worry about whether their families would starve to death, and they didn't have to worry about whether their arable land was wasted, and food could always appear where they went first, so that they could eat enough.
The Cao thieves they could suppress did not dare to go out of the city, and Sima Yi, Guo Huai, and one commander after another could only retreat in the city.
Today, however, the situation is completely different.
It just so happens that they also have a Zhuge Wu Township Marquis at this moment.
What is the extent of Zhuge Zhan's reputation in Shu?
Whenever Shangshutai issued a good decree, even if it was issued by Chen Qi or someone else, the people would only say: This good policy was issued by Zhuge Wu Xianghou!!
It's a kind of blind trust.
And in the military, such a situation is actually not uncommon.
Jiang Wei just looked at the appearance of the scout in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
It's broken.
Something big is wrong.
He knew that Zhuge Zhan was indeed smart and quick-witted, but Jiang Wei also knew that Zhuge Zhan was definitely not the prime minister of Zhuge Zhan.
If these things reach the ears of the emperor, and those who are dissatisfied with him coax together, and the people cheer again, then won't Your Majesty let Zhuge Zhan come out to face the enemy? ?
There was a hint of despair in Jiang Wei's eyes.
Zhuge Zhan knows the soldiers, but he doesn't know much.
He may be able to boost the morale of the soldiers in Hanzhong, but that's about it.
If you really fight Deng Ai, then the probability of Hanzhong losing is too great.
With today's national strength gap, Cao Thief is really not so easy to resist
Jiang Wei dared to guarantee that this must be Cao Thief's strategy, just like in the original Battle of Changping, he wanted Zhuge Zhan to replace him, and then launched a surprise attack.
Maybe when Zhuge Zhan came, he would not only face Deng Ai!
But the question is, what now?
How do you solve this problem?
Now, if he doesn't let the court know, Jiang Wei knows that it will cause even more riots.
When the emperor knew about this in the future, he would not feel that this was the Battle of Changping, he would feel that he was jealous of Zhuge Zhan, greedy for the army in his hands, and unwilling to let Xian, so he suppressed Zhuge Zhan.
But if you ignore it, let the news spread to Chengdu.
Jiang Wei took a deep breath.
He stood up abruptly and said, "Fetch my pen and ink."
He thought of the best solution.
The solution that Jiang Wei thought of was very simple, if he wanted to avoid Zhuge Zhan coming, he could only find Zhuge Zhan to solve this matter.
Although Zhuge Zhan is young, he knows himself quite well, and he is not an arrogant person, and he will never really feel invincible because of a few braggings from the Wei people.
At this time, only by letting Zhuge Zhan know about this conspiracy can he avoid causing evil consequences.
With Zhuge Zhan's person, after knowing the general situation of the matter, he should not accept the appointment again, right?
Jiang Wei's letter went all the way to Chengdu.
And in the end, it was not only Jiang Wei's letter that arrived in Chengdu, but also the exciting news from Wei.
Compared with Jiang Wei's correspondence with his own people, it was more convenient for the ministers of Wei and Shu to communicate.
And Huang Hao also learned the news very quickly.
Huang Hao's minions are now distributed all over Chengdu, and as more and more ministers are attached to him, this middle servant is becoming more and more like the feeling of many middle servants in the Later Han Dynasty, and he is domineering and ruthless.
When the little eunuch brought the news from outside to Huang Hao, Huang Hao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Huang Hao and Zhuge Zhan are not friendly, after Chen Qi's death, these new ones don't like Huang Hao, but they don't dare to do anything to Huang Hao, and they can't even impeach Huang Hao.
Huang Hao knew that they didn't like him, but he also knew that they couldn't do anything about themselves and didn't take them to heart.
But Jiang Wei is different, Jiang Wei has always been very opposed to Huang Hao, and always told His Majesty that he hopes he can keep in mind the teachings of the prime minister, remember why the Later Han Dynasty perished, pro-virtuous ministers, and far villains.
Who this villain refers to, everyone knows very well.
Huang Hao pondered for a moment, but quickly walked towards the palace.
"Your Majesty!! Good news for slaves! Good news! ”
Huang Hao staggered in front of Liu Chan, and even almost fell.
Liu Chan looked at him in surprise, Huang Hao has always been calm, what's wrong today? Could it be that Jiang Wei took Chang'an??
Huang Hao hurriedly took out a few documents and handed them to Liu Chan.
"Your Majesty, look, this is what the slave maid heard outside in Chengdu! It's going to be a boiling!! ”
Liu Chan lowered his head and read it carefully, but after looking at it for a moment, a touch of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"See? There is something to make the Cao thief afraid! ”
"Hahaha, Wei has a Zhong Hui, I heard that the Zhong Hui is just a pavilion! But my big man has a martial arts marquis! How can you be afraid of him?! ”
Liu Chan laughed for a long time before he looked at Huang Hao, who seemed to realize that something was wrong.
"If it's rumored in Chengdu, why don't I know about it?"
Huang Hao hesitated, just lowered his head and didn't say it explicitly.
"Tell me the truth!"
"The slave is a lowly person, although he is not loved by the talents of the court, but he will not hide it from His Majesty, and this matter, although for His Majesty, is something worth celebrating, but for the rest of the ministers, it may not be so."
Liu Chan suddenly thought of something and frowned again.
"Pass on my edict, that is, worship Zhuge Zhan as General Wei, and let him come to the palace to receive orders!!"
