Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 718 Longzhong
"Wen Yuan, there is one thing that I am quite curious about!" Mu Jing asked Zhang Liao to sit down, and then asked: "This battle against Tanxi, you can understand all your deployments, there is only one!"

"My lord, ask me!" Zhang Liao cupped his hands, "Liaozhi has everything to say, and everything to say!"

"When you were retreating from Tanxi Lake, if it hadn't been for a sudden heavy rain, it rained for a whole night, and the rain extinguished all the fires, and you couldn't see your fingers on the river, and your warships couldn't escape at all. If Jiang Xia's naval division bites, it's not that the vitality is seriously injured, but that the main force is gone, and even the entire Jingping Second Army is folded there!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "I just want to know if this rain is a coincidence, or it can be calculated so accurately!"

"I can calculate the weather conditions!"

Zhang Liao shook his head.

"That's a coincidence!"

"It's not a coincidence!" Zhang Liao shook his head again, and then explained: "When I led the army through Longzhong in the western suburbs of Xiangyang, I personally took people to check the terrain of the water channel, and wanted to find a water channel leading directly to Tanxi Lake. , I didn’t find the waterway, but I met a few villagers, and one of them looked a bit unusual in dress and clothes, so I went up to chat. In the words, I heard him say to several villagers that Xiangyang There is rain in the southwest, and it is most likely that there will be a heavy rain last night, so I chose to hold the mentality of not having nothing to do, and chose the time last night!"

"Can you watch the sky?"

Mujing's eyes shot out a sharp and incomparable light: "There are other people like this!"

"My lord, I have read some books on this topic. I heard that some people have lived in one place for a long time, and they can observe the weather by virtue of their habits, perhaps some unusual weather!"

Chen Gong said: "But there are very few people like this, and they need to have a good understanding of the weather to be so accomplished. There may be people who can clearly predict that there will be rain in the next few days, but they can accurately predict the time to every day. One day, this is simply impossible!"

"My father can!"

Zhang Ning, the commander of the Divine Guard, suddenly said, "Father is good at watching the sky. He always has a budget!"

"The father of Commander Zhang Ning?" Chen Gong was a little confused.

"A legendary figure in history!"

Mu Jing said very directly: "The master of Taiping Dao, the spirit of the Yellow Turban Army, a great virtuous teacher!"

"It's him?"

Chen Gong was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that he didn't feel any surprise. The fact that the Mu family and his son were born in the Yellow Turban Army was rumored all over the world, otherwise it wouldn't be impossible to get rid of the traitor's skin now.

"According to the rumors, the great virtuous teacher has the ability to summon wind and rain, and can turn beans into soldiers!"

"Scattering beans into soldiers is blown!"

Mu Jing said with a smile: "But calling the wind and rain is not necessarily the case. The weather is unpredictable, and it is not without rules. He can observe the sky and predict it. Then he can tell his own ability and call the wind and rain!"

Zhang Ning curled her lips, but she didn't deny Mu Jing's statement. She knew her father's ability best, and it was a fact that she was extremely knowledgeable. Whether it was Confucian classics or Taoist books, they were all in one, and what Mohism had learned, she also had some attainments. A collection of countless theories, but apart from extraordinary skills, he is just a mortal.

"Where is this person now?" Mu Jing asked.

"At that time, I was afraid to scare the snake away. After all, Longzhong belonged to the Jingzhou army's camp, so I didn't recruit this person!" Zhang Liao said: "If my lord wants to see this person, I can tie him up!"

"vulgar!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "Wen Yuan, for talents, we have to learn how to be courteous to corporals, how can we use such a term as tie!"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Gong sneered, looking at Mu Jing's expression, it was clearly a blatant mockery: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. My lord has this hobby. General Mu Jun is naturally good at kidnapping people. General Zhang Wenyuan's proposal is also good. This is not the first time, Chen Dao, from the First Army of Jingping, was kidnapped before, and Zhang Hu from Zhanhuying was also kidnapped. Nine out of ten civil servants and advisers around them were kidnapped. Talent, which one is not a wolf jumping on a sheep, now you can find a few random entries in the roster of the Military Justice Department, and you can throw them into the prison of the Military Justice Department for ten days and a half months!"

When Mu Jing recruited Jiang Lu, the number one counselor of the Mu Army, he used the method of one click and three routes. This is no secret.

Wasn't he, Chen Gong, also kidnapped by Mujing? He was imprisoned in the dungeon for a period of time, and he was taken with him when he went south. Otherwise, he would not have become a member of the Minghou Mansion, although he became When he was a member of the Minghou Mansion, he was relieved.

But if there is a chance, he still wants to let it out.

"Is there such a thing?" Mu Jing looked at Huang Zhong with a blank face.

"Cough cough!"

Huang Zhong coughed in embarrassment, and then said: "Our reputation is not very good, and the literati don't buy it when we recruit people in an upright manner. They also have no choice but to do a good job of appeasing them. Take it easy and put it down, a small punishment and a big admonition!"

"These bastards!"

Mu Jing was a little bit worried: "They are a chaotic military law, how can they punish a small punishment, they must be punished, and they can't let them have such a good life. It's really good to hide the talents who recruited one by one. Think about me, my lord. No, if I send one or two, I'll turn a blind eye, but I can't do it now, military law is military law!"

"You care about your feelings here!"

Chen Gong cast a contemptuous glance at Mu Jing: "Sure enough, he is a useful lord, and there are all kinds of courtiers and generals!"

"Gongtai, don't care about him!"

Mu Jing comforted him with a smile: "We are also forced to do so. People are fundamental, and talents are the foundation of the Minghou Mansion. But who told us not to have a good background? , can I still use these methods to recruit talents?"

"Humph!"

Chen Gong snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.

Mu Jing's words said something deep in his heart, they didn't have the background of the Yuan family, they could only rely on means, and there was nothing wrong with the means, and the treatment of the talents recruited by the Minghou Mansion was absolutely high.

To a certain extent, the stage of Minghou Mansion is not bad. For talented people, they can display what they have learned all their lives.

"But this thing can't be done all the time!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "Today we will pay respects to corporals!"

He said to Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, go for a walk and invite this man respectfully!"

"promise!"

Zhang Liao nodded.

"By the way, what is this person's name?" Mu Jing asked temporarily.

"Zhuge Xuan!"

"What, what's it called?" Mu Jing always felt that the word Longzhong was a little familiar, but he couldn't turn the corner for a while, and couldn't remember it. Now when he heard Zhuge, he suddenly realized it.

Living in seclusion in Longzhong, surnamed Zhuge, there should be only one family in the world.

"Zhuge Xuan!" Zhang Liao repeated.

"Zhuge Xuan?"

Mujing's mind turned for a moment, and he asked, "How old is he?"

"About 50 years old!"

"middle aged?"

Mujing pondered for a while, then said secretly in his heart: The name and age don't even match, it's not him, but it must be related.

At this time, the person who shocked the Three Kingdoms era and was known as the number one counselor of the Three Kingdoms should still be a young man. He must be much younger than him, and he will not emerge so quickly. It should not be him, but there must be some relationship.

"You Ji!"

Mu Jing suddenly said: "Arrange it, I will go to Longzhong personally, I want to see with my own eyes, how strange this strange person is!"

"Why?" Zhang Ning frowned. Now Longzhong is at the junction. The main camp of the Jingzhou Army is less than three miles away from Longzhong, and it can be reached in an instant. It is very irrational to go to Longzhong at this time.

"Corporal Lixian, you have to come by yourself!"

Mujing found a reason and said, "I have to go this time, so I need to make arrangements!"

"All right!"

Zhang Ning couldn't resist Mu Jing, nodded, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

"My lord is going to Longzhong?"

The generals disagree.

"Han Sheng and Wen Yuan can accompany me in person!" Mu Jing said: "With them by my side, thousands of troops can come and go freely. What's more, Longzhong is a war zone, not a place for them to garrison troops!"

......................................................

………………

Longzhong, twenty miles west of Xiangyang.

There were only a dozen or so people in Mujing's party. They stopped their horses five miles away and entered on foot. This place was the hardest hit area for scouts to fight. Entering on horseback was too ostentatious.

"My lord, the front has already left the battle zone of our troops!"

"Go in!"

Mu Jing didn't pay attention, his personal guards spread out, only Huang Zhong, Zhang Ning and Zhang Liao were two steps away.

Entering Longzhong, I feel a little touched.

This should be a small village surrounded by mountains.

"Longzhong!"

Mujing suddenly heard a sentence, and couldn't help but read it: "The mountain is not high but elegant, the water is not deep but clear, the land is not wide but flat, the forest is not big but lush, apes and cranes meet each other, pines and bamboos intersect with greenery. !"

This is Luo Dahuyou's description of Longzhong.

Mu Jing didn't feel any difference.

The number one counselor of the Three Kingdoms, Gong Geng, has been dormant here for more than ten years. He has chosen a good place, one side with mountains and rivers and one side with people. Perhaps this place can make people calm down and watch the turmoil in the world as an outsider.

"My lord is brilliant!" Huang Zhong said with a smile.

"Call the son!"

Mu Jing spread the folding fan in his hand, he was definitely a Mr. Pianpian, he said softly: "Going out, it's not our own territory, we'd better be careful!"

"Yes!"

The three nodded.

"My lord, how do we see that there are no people in this village?" Zhang Ning looked around and said in surprise.

"Xiangyang has a radius of hundreds of miles, and it has become a place of war. The people in the suburbs, if they hadn't fled into the city in a hurry, they must have gone up and down with their families!" Zhang Liao said softly: "Our two armies Fighting will inevitably bring disaster to Yuchi, if you stay here, your family will be ruined at least, and people will die at worst!"

"Nobody likes war!"

Mujing looked at some empty thatched huts and sighed: "I don't like it either, but this is the way of the world, the troubled times have already happened, we have to live, we have to fight, we have to fight, the only thing we can do is, End war with war as soon as possible, peace is always fought, not spoken!"
