Her serious appearance suddenly made Sima Yi laugh.

"General, you can't hack him to death right away."

“…… Why? ”

When she sits upright, communicates, and even when she first sees her with a gray face, she looks like a good young man with a good and upright character.

Only when he thinks about the problem, those calm and gentle eyes will squint slightly.

Sima Yi will not become a military general in the future, she thought.

Although he will care about the war when he is lying down, has a high sensitivity to the situation, and may even lead his troops to fight in the future and play a very good record, he is by no means a pure general.

There is always something else in his actions, something outside of the battlefield.

He who thinks of war in this way usually thinks this way outside of war and mixes the two together until war becomes a means for him.

That very delicate look was fleeting, like a wisp of clouds drifting by for no reason in the clear summer sky, drifting past and then dissipating.

Even under her surprised gaze, Sima Yi waved his hand, let the servants outside the door in, and picked up the plate.

"Zhongda?"

"The rest of the generals will take it back and eat it." Sima Yi said dignifiedly.

She looked at the leg bone she was gnawing on, then at the roast chicken, and the idea of "hacking the strategist on the other side" slipped away.

"Let's eat here," she said discreetly, "it's not much, I can finish it." ”

Sima Yi smiled, with a gentle and frugal expression.

"This," Zhang Xiu said, "I still don't understand." ”

He also served roast chicken to his teacher, but in addition to this coarse food, he also served lamb and fish tart, as well as fine wine from Jingzhou that Cai Mao gave him.

The teacher didn't eat much, but he ate some lamb and tasted a little wine, and then he took a spoon, scooped a spoonful of hot soup, and drank it slowly.

According to his own words, in autumn and winter, it is still necessary to pay attention to conditioning the body and taking a moderate tonic, but you can't eat too much meat, which is not good for the stomach and intestines.

…… Zhang Xiu didn't have the heart to listen to this.

"Sir, please advise me," he asked, "Liu Yan derogated Lu Lian like that, is it false or true, and what is the conspiracy?" ”

Jia Xu put down the spoon and glanced at him.

"I teach the general, and the general knows how to deal with it?"

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and her confidence was a little insufficient, "I am natural, naturally ......"

Although curious, if he really wants to play some kind of conspiracy with others, Zhang Xiu thinks that he still can't fit those complicated things in his head.

Especially since he has been wandering all these years, he has not suffered any kind of hardship, and his temperament has been much more cautious.

Seeing him stumbling like this, Jia Xu smiled contemptuously.

"Why should the general be worried? Liu Yan thinks he is smart, but in fact he is just a fool! ”

What kind of person is Liu Yan?

Liu Bei felt that although he didn't have much ability and couldn't take on heavy responsibilities, he was very self-aware.

But Liu Bei couldn't say these words, so Liu Yan had a new look in the eyes of others.

They feel that this romantic and famous man is very popular with the lord, just like Guo Jiazhi is to Cao Cao, or Xu Yu is to Yuan Shao, in short, he is a close and able to speak, and who knows when he will not influence the lord's thoughts.

Over the years, Guan Yu has been in charge of the south, Lu Lian has opened up territory in the north, and Zhang Fei has to prepare the military while defending the territory, and help all friendly troops.

But they were all fighting in various places, and only Liu Yan followed the lord.

As a result, those exploits have also faded in the eyes of outsiders - besides, those generals have different temperaments, even Zhang Fei, who is the most kind when interacting with scholars, seems clumsy and wooden, how can Liu Yan be as like a spring breeze?

The scale of Liu Bei Group is getting bigger and bigger, attracting more and more talents, and Liu Yan gradually feels a different kind of attention in it.

Who is not polite to him? Even though the scholars who came with them were from famous families, they had to smile gently and softly when they saw him, and even prepared a gift.

Lu Lian has never been polite and close!

In the past, she was not in Xu Zhou, but now she finally went back to Xucheng and feasted and drank several times, as if there was no important minister in front of him in front of him!

She thinks that her achievements are worthy of his status in the heart of the lord!

Occasionally, in the dead of night, Liu Yan would also ask himself: In addition to following the lord very early, what has he done and what merits has he made? Didn't the lord give him rice and reward him with many things, and these were already beyond what he deserved?

He has no ability, if he wants to come out, whether he leads a civilian post or leads the troops into battle, the end is just like Fu Shiren.

But the thought didn't last long, because it was painful for him.

Everyone knows the need for self-knowledge, but this kind of virtue is the most painful of all – who wants to admit that they are just a mediocre talent?

In particular, he slept in a fragrant silk bedding, with a wooden couch carved by craftsmen under him, and a beautiful and supple concubine beside him, all of which provided him with gentle warmth on winter nights.

These things reminded him all the time that this was all in exchange for his origin, demeanor, eloquence, and the friendship of the lord and his courtiers.

Has Lu Lian enjoyed any of this? Has Guan Yu enjoyed any of this? Didn't he hear that the woman who was born to kill pigs ate the same weeds as soldiers in the barracks?

What qualifications does she have to compare to him!

This chaotic and malicious thought expelled the last shred of clarity from his mind.

And as if to corroborate, a wise man sent someone to send a sincere letter.

He won't be buried after all.

"The general doesn't understand Liu Yan's thoughts, which is good." Jia Xu said.

Zhang Xiu frowned, "Please give me advice?" ”

Jia Xu scooped another spoonful of soup and blew it slowly.

"Everyone in the world thinks they are smart, but they don't know where there are so many smart people in the world. It's just a matter of being clever, and the general can keep safe as long as he thinks he's a stupid man. ”

Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu in a daze and drank the spoonful of soup, and hurriedly continued to ask.

"What about Liu Yan?"

"He is not smarter than the general, but he is more intelligent than himself, but he doesn't know that the really smart people have already seen through him and made incense bait!"

"Who...... Who is so clever? Zhang Xiu thought for a while, and coldly popped out a name, "Lu Lian? ”

The ease on Jia Xu's face suddenly disappeared for a moment.

"She's not smart, but she's not stupid either." "She's a different kind of person," he said. ”

"Which one?"

Jia Xu fell into deep thought.

If I have to use an analogy, the smart man is playing chess, and the stupid man is a pawn in a mess.

There are also some people doing their own things on the side, maybe planting vegetables and watering the garden, maybe killing pigs and bloodletting, maybe carrying a broken pot and knocking on it, anyway, she probably can't understand this chess game.

But whether she can see it or not, as long as the chess player disturbs her, she may take the horse next to her, ride on it, and then step on the chessboard with one hoof, and then cover a few hoof prints on the face of the chess player, and walk away.

…… Lu Lian is probably this kind of person.

Zhuge Liang didn't know if he was a smart person, but when he received the letter, he was briefly stunned.

General Xiao Lu is not good at writing and ink, but he is very good at listing conditions.

Her conditions are roughly as follows:

The wooden handle should be long, so that the long handle can distance itself from the cavalry;

The blade should be thick, and the thin-bladed sword, such as a sword or ring-headed knife, has no impact force, so it cannot chop the horse's legs;

Although it should be thick, the overall weight should be controlled, too heavy to carry;

If you can't strike a blow, you must be able to change your tactics immediately, hook the horse's legs or horse armor with a hook, and you can stumble without losing anything;

The craftsmanship must be refined, and the battle is Yuan Shao's most precious horse armor, and he can't cut corners;

The time should be fast, if you can ten days, don't drag it out to half a month, of course, if Mr. Xiao has a way, three days is fine;

The cost should be low, there is nothing to say, Qingzhou is poor.

This is a handwritten letter from General Lu Ciyu, which is very rare.

She has been away from Qingzhou for so long, and she has written back very few times, most of them are for Tian Yu, and half are for her sisters and nephews.

I didn't write a letter to my uncle.

Although he was pleasantly surprised by writing to him, Zhuge Liang still felt a sense of grievance.

He didn't know what image he was in the general's heart, just like when she saw him before, she always looked at him with that inexplicable enthusiasm, which also made him very worried.

Now holding this letter, Zhuge Liang is even more sure that the general has an extraordinary trust in him.

…… Even if he is outstanding in learning and smart, it is not easy to make this thing as soon as possible!

…… Besides, what is the deadline of "three days"?! How could such a batch of ordnance be made in three days!

It's outrageous!

Li Er hugged the books sent by the school palace, and when he walked into the courtyard with a chirp, he saw the little gentleman sitting there in a daze.

Since Yuan Shao's war, Mr. Xiao often had to inspect the armor and weapons made by the craftsmen, so he moved his residence to the vicinity of the iron official, next door is the craftsman's workshop, this side is a bit noisy, but the winter is warmer than elsewhere.

…… But the little gentleman sitting under the window made Li Er feel depressed for no reason.

"Sir?"

Mr. Zhuge turned his head, looked at him, and answered softly.

"All right," he said, "find me the rules and the ruler, and the engineer to come too." ”

"Sir, rest today."

"You care," said the little gentleman, "I am not tired." ”

“…… Mr. is not tired, and the engineer is also resting! ”

Mr. Xiao clenched his fists, so Li Er was suddenly a little scared, not understanding what was going on, and which bad Shangguan sent Mr. Xiao a job on Hugh Mu Day.

If he knew, Li Er thought angrily, such a mean Shangguan should be quietly beaten with a sack!
