Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 779

Jiang Wei is directing the little official to hang the "Confinement Order" in every place in the palace.

A large crowd of palace people was watching, and a few eunuchs in charge of food came outside the crowd carrying vegetable baskets and chickens... looking out.

They saw the mention in the "Confinement Order" that all officials in central Shu were confinement in the palace to investigate the infiltration of the military commander in the Great Wei Dynasty. Before the results became clear, they were not allowed to leave the palace for half a step.

"This…"

Suddenly, an eunuch realized that the chickens in their hands and the vegetables in the basket seemed not enough!

Another older eunuch pouted, and murmured, "Officials in Central Shu... all... How much food do you have to make in one day!"

The literate palace people around were chanting for everyone, "...the case of Wei Jian's military infiltration is related to the survival of the Shu Han, and it has a great relationship. All palace officials and palace people who can provide clues will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and sealed as marquises... The matter is temporarily handed over to General Zhao Yun for overall planning and dispatch."

A court lady wondered: "Yesterday... Didn't the Central Guards still say they would send new food to Fushui? Now that the officials are locked up in the palace, who will deliver the food?"

"Is this what we should worry about?" An eunuch answered the question next to him, "Do our own thing well, if the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up."

A eunuch with the appearance of a ruffian said: "If you provide clues, you can be rewarded with thousands of gold, seal ten thousand households, clues... that's hard to say? Let's make him a big deal?"

Everyone laughed: "Where does the clue say that it can be created?"

"Haha..." The eunuch who looked like a ruffian laughed loudly, "Is the clue true or false? Is it important? You didn't see... Among the people imprisoned this time, we Yizhou officials are the ones who are treated well, and the ones who are treated poorly …hey-hey…"

...

...

Zhuge Liang had a sick handkerchief wrapped around his head, coughing in pain, and Yang Yi held the decoction in distress.

Zhuge Liang took a sip and stopped coughing. Yang Yi comforted him, "Prime Minister has always been proficient in the method of sophistry, how could he not know that what Wang Lang uttered is really sophistry... It's a bunch of nonsense, how can the Prime Minister take it to heart? Angry What about attacking the heart?"

Zhuge Liang sighed: "How could he, Wang Lang, have such eloquence? Such tight-fitting, meticulous and deadly words hit my heart every sentence, and I can't refute them...except Cao Ziyu, who is good at planning and attacking the heart? Who else?"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang shook his head, "For a handsome man, he knows the weather, the location, and the people's heart. His words hit my weakness, which made me feel mentally weak for the first time...feel powerless. "

Yang Yi said sadly: "For so many years, so many princes have fallen into Cao Yu's hands, and he is good at this... the verbal battle is lost to him, it is not the prime minister's fault, maybe... the time has not yet come, and the situation has not yet turned around one day."

"Tianshi?" Zhuge Liang sighed, "What I am most afraid of hearing now is the word 'Tianshi'!"

at this time…

Wei Jun shouted from outside the door, "Incompetence belongs to the Shu Han, fly before the spirit of battle, choose a commander of the three armies, vomit blood and throw away his helmet, Zhuge Liang looks like an old turtle from a distance!"

Then there was a burst of piercing laughter...

Yang Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to go out with the sword in hand, Zhuge Liang raised his eyes and sternly stopped, "Stop!"

Yang Yi mourned, "Prime Minister, this Sima Yi is too deceitful!"

Zhuge Liang tried his best to keep himself calm... "Do you still think? Is Sima Yi the former commander of the Fushui Pass? Has he ever called a battle?"

"That…"

"Cao Yu is here!" Zhuge Liang sighed, "His most terrifying heart attack has also come!"

As the red sun sank to the west, a group of Wei soldiers kicked Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled cart to play, shouting while playing, "All generals listen to my orders and go straight to Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled cart!"

The shouts fell, and the soldiers did not forget to yell at the Fushui Pass, "Three Zhuge Liang, the top cobbler, with one mouth open, legs shaking, shouted two and a half times forward, lying in the ditch without moving! Hahahaha... "

These words passed into Wei Yan's ears on the tower.

He had lost his last patience and hope, and left with a gun bitterly.

...

...

Yin Ping Road.

Smoke billowed in the mountains, and the majestic Wei army flag was held high, and it was inserted in every corner of Yinping Road.

A team of 5 people is galloping to Chengdu under the leadership of Xia Houyuan.

Flying black Wei army flags, majestic armour, gray robes, galloping horses, 5 people... Almost the entire Yinping Road was filled to the brim.

"Quick, faster!"

"Five days, arrived in Chengdu in five days! Straight into Sichuan!"

Xia Houyuan's voice kept coming out, his words... Countless messengers rushed to tell each other.

In fact, the military order he received was ten days, but ten days was too unchallenging for him...

He is the father-in-law of the Great Wei Emperor and the current head of state. He wants to prove to everyone that Xia Houyuan is worthy of this honor. His current status is based on his own ability and military exploits, not his daughter!

Speaking of which, it was the first time for countless Wei soldiers to walk the Yinping Road... Although this road has been repaired and opened up, it is still not spacious enough, and many places need to be climbed...

Fortunately, the Wei army has enough numbers and excellent equipment. On the premise of sufficient supplies along the way... it is not difficult to march quickly!

And the eyes of every Wei army officer were green with anticipation.

Everyone realizes that this will be the last battle in the unification of the world, and success... will last forever!

No matter how bad it is, returning home in the future... is enough to pretend to be aggressive for the rest of my life.

certainly…

It is impossible for Shuzhong's eyeliner not to know about such a grandiose military operation.

The urgent report arrived at Shangshutai in the middle of Sichuan like rain.

But because of Zhao Yun, all these urgent mails were suppressed... No one knew about the officials who were imprisoned in the palace!

But Zhao Yun...

Acting as a trick, he spared no effort to investigate the infiltration case of the Weijian military commander's spy...

Some officials in central Shu have been sentenced to death, and some were pulled out of the court...and never came back.

Now, the entire Shu Han officialdom...everyone is in danger!
"General, we will arrive in Chengdu in one day!"

A scout reported the news to Xia Houyuan...

Xia Houyuan quickly unfolded the map from his arms. He squinted his eyes and fixed his gaze on the map. He pondered for a while, and pointed to the map, but it was not Chengdu but... "Mianzhu Pass!"

Xia Houyuan immediately ordered, "Bypass Chengdu and attack Mianzhu Pass directly. Once this pass is lost, the grain road at Fushui Pass will be blocked, and the enemy will be on the back! Zhuge Liang can't fly with his wings!"

...

...

Autumn was over, Lu Yu stood in front of the army camp and looked at the Fushui Pass in front of him, the red sun was sinking a little bit, and the vast land was about to fall into night, which inevitably added a touch of sadness to the atmosphere here.

Sima Yi walked to Lu Yu's side, "After Zhuge Liang was defeated in the verbal battle, he was seriously ill. According to His Majesty's order, our army yelled and cursed for several days, but Zhuge Liang did not fight!"

Lu Yu nodded slightly, "It's not that he didn't fight, but he was unable to fight. Now... even if he wanted to, the natives of Yizhou would not be willing to fight!"

This…

Sima Yi was slightly taken aback, and Lu Yu explained briefly.

It turns out that the Shu people have an extremely unique temperament.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Bashu has been the largest granary in the world. In addition, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the people of Shu have developed a relatively comfortable character, and they rarely have the idea of ​​plotting the Central Plains like people in other places.

After Liu Bei entered Shu, he devoted himself to the Northern Expedition to restore the Han Dynasty, but the local Yizhou officials did not approve of it.

Jingzhou, Veteran faction, and Dongzhou faction are in favor because these factions want to return to the Central Plains, want to go home...

In history... there will always be many people who judge Zhuge Liang's improper employment. Until the sixth time when he came out of Qishan, he still used those people brought from Jingzhou, and did not train new people...

In fact, this is closely related to the region. Jingzhou was a place where the Four Wars took place. People born there were used to seeing conquests from south to north.

And people born in Bashu are used to being comfortable since they were young, and they don't bother to think about these things... It's not that Zhuge Liang can't employ people, but that there is no one in Shu.

Liu Xiu attacked Shu in less than two years;
It took less than two years for Liu Bei to enter Sichuan;
Zhong Hui and Deng Ai defeated Shu, five months;

There is also Huan Wen's attack on Shu, which lasted four months, and in the Five Dynasties, when the Later Tang Dynasty destroyed the former Shu, it took 74 days;
Zhao Kuangyin conquered Shu in two months, and the Ming Dynasty conquered Sichuan in five months, basically all in one go...

Lu Yu eloquently explained these character factors formed by "region".

In the end, I did not forget to recite a poem by Mrs. Huarui of Hou Shu, "14 people are all disarmed, and none of them is a man!"

certainly…

This is not a black area, saying that Shu people have no ambitions...

In fact, Shu people are not good at fighting, which does not mean they are not good at fighting. What Shu people want is a comfortable life. Yes, change customs, that's another story!

Mongolia attacked the Song Dynasty, and Sichuan resisted for 50 years;
When the Qing army entered the customs, Sichuan continued to resist for more than ten years;

Not to mention that when fighting against Xiaotian, Sichuan was the rear area. There were more than 300 million people who fought against Xiaotian, with more than 60 casualties!
In terms of national justice, Shu people have always been clear and at the forefront.

But... the later events were too far away from this era, so Lu Yu didn't tell Sima Yi in detail.

"This…"

After hearing Lu Yu's words, Sima Yi fell into deep thought, "Shu people are not easy to fight...but if they don't leave the customs? It will be difficult! If they attack by force...there will be huge casualties!"

Lu Yu nodded, "Zhuge Liang is a smart man. He knows when to attack and when to defend. Sometimes holding on is the smartest way to attack. Don't you think so? Zhongda?"

Uh…

The topic suddenly brought up to Sima Yi, he was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately frowned, "Your Majesty intends to spend it with him?"

"Haha..." Lu Yu raised his eyes and looked back at Sima Yi with a smile, "Originally, I didn't intend to force him to come out, but... if he doesn't come out, someone will come out!"

The voice just fell...

"Your Majesty..." Dian Wei hurried over, still holding a few letterheads in his hand, "Many military generals from Fushui Pass privately sent letters, saying that they are willing to surrender to Great Wei!"

Look…

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
This time Lu Yu's smile was even brighter.

The effect is already there.

And Sima Yi subconsciously swallowed, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is brilliant, if this fight continues, Zhuge Kongming may become a... a..."

Sima Yi originally wanted to say "lonely family", but felt that the wording was not very precise...

It was Lu Yu who said for him: "What Zhong Da wants to say is 'bright prime minister'?"

The bare prime minister...

Sima Yi was startled, and immediately, he and Lu Yu looked at each other, hahaha...the two laughed knowingly!

...

...

"Prime Minister, recently... the army has discovered that many soldiers have secretly sent letters to Cao Wei..."

Zhuge Liang was drinking medicine, Yang Yi spoke worriedly.

Zhuge Liang put the medicine aside, and in just a moment, the fine wrinkles between his brows slowly condensed on his forehead.

But after being silent for a long time, he finally uttered a sentence, "Good birds choose trees to live in, it's not their fault!"

"Also..." Yang Yi continued, "The food that was supposed to arrive in Sichuan has not arrived in two days, and I sent someone to inquire, but there is no news..."

"With Jiang Wan here, there can be no big trouble!" Zhuge Liang still frowned, his eyes dim.

"Don't the Prime Minister think that the recent battle situation is very strange?" Yang Yi continued to ask.

This time Zhuge Liang just opened his mouth, but didn't say a word. He just picked up the bowl and drank the medicine.

After pondering for a while, he finally said: "The most unforgettable thing in a person's life is kindness and righteousness. Some people's kindness has been repaid, and they leave. Some people's kindness is not cleared, and they will stay for the rest of their lives. !"

just like…

Zhuge Liang's words have meaning in their words.

Yang Yi pursed his lips, he was suddenly a little sentimental by Zhuge Liang's words.

"Today... I never heard the shouting and scolding from the Wei army outside the pass!" Zhuge Liang always found that something was missing today. It turned out to be scolding...

at this time.

"Report... to the prime minister! There is an envoy from the Wei army carrying a box to ask for an audience!"

"Wei Jun envoy?" Zhuge Liang repeated.

"It's the prime minister's younger brother..."

"Brother Jun?" Zhuge Liang's eyes narrowed further, and he stood up with support, "Since you are Brother Jun, let's see each other, let's see each other for the last time!"

Saying that...then walked out with Yang Yi's support.

...

At this moment, Zhuge Jun was waiting in the lobby with two envoys holding a large box.

Zhuge Liang walked into the...

Zhuge Jun saw him, and he also noticed Zhuge Jun. A few strange colors flickered in the pupils of both of them, and immediately...the eyes returned to normal!

They are brothers, but they are also their masters!

"Who is in the hall?" Zhuge Liang asked routinely.

Zhuge Jun replied calmly: "Wei Emperor Cao Yu wrote a letter to Shu Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang!"

Zhuge Jun unfolded the letter and read aloud: "Since Zhuge Kongming is the prime minister of the Shu Han, leading the people of Ba and Shu, he doesn't think about putting on a strong and sharp knife to determine the male and female. He is guarding the earth nest in the sweet cave and avoiding knives and arrows. How is it different from women? Today Send envoys to send women plain clothes, if you don’t want to fight, you can worship again and accept them, if you still have a sense of shame, especially if you have a man’s heart, then it’s time to go out and fight to determine the ownership of the world!”

In Zhuge Jun's voice, all the civil and military personnel in the entire lobby turned pale with anger, and their fists trembled, but they didn't dare to act rashly, and all looked at Zhuge Liang!

Zhuge Liang's complexion is very bad...

It was fine to be so humiliated by the Lord of Wei, but he still entrusted it to his third brother, which made his anger rise rapidly, but he didn't attack, he forced himself to calm down, and listened leisurely.

Looking at the big box in Zhuge Jun's hand, he said with a faint smile.

"Emperor Wei sent Zhenzhen's female skirt, presumably...is it among them?"

"Brother Jun thinks, as a brother, should I accept this skirt, should I wear this skirt?"
