Chapter 491 Sinister Intentions Wolong Laughs
When Deng Ai returned to the east of the Jiange city wall, he encountered obstacles.
When Deng Ai shouted to the east of the city wall to release the hanging basket, the soldiers in the city did not move for a while.
Of course they didn't know Deng Ai, but they also saw Deng Ai's side, followed by several people of unknown origin at that moment.
Even though those people were in rags and looked very poor, the sharp blades in their legs symbolized their extraordinary status.
When Deng Ai Mingyue went out, he was not accompanied by those people. When he returned, he suddenly led a few people of unknown origin to the east of the city to call the pass. This would inevitably make people suspicious.
After all, it is known that there is no other army except the Wei army within a radius of more than ten miles.
The origins of those people who suddenly appeared are really hard to avoid making people suspicious.
Jiange is the location of Yizhou's Ming Gate, so they cannot be careless.
Of course, with those few people trying to seize the heavily guarded sword pavilion in the East, it is definitely not impossible.
But are they spies who sneaked in to cause chaos inside Jiange?
Various suspicions lingered in the hearts of the soldiers in the city, whether they belonged directly to Liu Feng's troops. Liu Feng had a bad opinion of Deng Ai, and they did not have full trust in Deng Ai.
Isn’t hunting usually about hunting animals? Why do we bring back some people out of thin air?
The hesitation of the soldiers in the city made Deng Ai furious.
He just wanted to see Zhuge Liang as soon as possible, how could he accept being delayed so much?
He originally wanted to explain the identities of the people around him, but he thought that the matter was too important to mention the leak, so he could suppress his anger and walked towards the city wall and shouted:
"The Prime Minister knew the reason behind the incident, so he did not rush to report it."
Hearing what Deng Ai said, Lieutenant General Liu Feng, who was guarding the city, handed over the defense to a school captain and rushed to the east city head.
It's not that he wanted to deliberately embarrass Deng Ai, but Liu Feng had issued a strict order to the east a few months ago, forbidding everyone to go anywhere near Liu Feng's strict order, so he could have been careful.
In addition, Deng Ai's military position was not very high, and he and he were both Zhonglang generals, which gave him the confidence to stick to the bottom line.
When Deng Aike took people out to hunt before, did he get the prime minister's acquiescence, otherwise he would not have been able to go out.
But if, as Deng Ai said, he returned tomorrow with those people of unknown origin, and if the prime minister knew about it, then his handling method would be different.
At least he must report the matter to Zhuge Liang, and before reporting it to Zhuge Liang, he must also let Liu Feng know about it.
In those months, Zhuge Liang had been discussing military affairs with the ministers who arrived at Jiange.
Among those ministers, some had different views on some of his measures.
Zhuge Liang was not without his arbitrary character. When he saw that the outside world had different opinions, he thought of seeking common ground while reserving differences through discussion.
But just when Zhuge Liang and the ministers were discussing the matter and arriving at a key place, the guards outside the tent suddenly came in to report that Liu Feng had asked for something.
Zhuge Liang suddenly frowned when he heard Liu Feng's request for help.
Although he knew that Liu Feng was wrong and he had resentment in his heart, but with the idea of enduring for the sake of the country, Zhuge Liang could not give Liu Feng full authority to handle the defense of Jiange.
Now that Liu Feng is asking for help, his request may be related to the safety of Jiange.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang immediately asked his bodyguard to summon Liu Feng in.
After Zhuge Liang's summons, Liu Feng quickly came to the Great Expansion Blade.
After Liu Feng entered the big tent, he saw many ministers there, and there was some joy in his eyes.
With everyone watching, he reported Deng Ai's "suspicious behavior" on the spot.
After the report, Liu Feng said emphatically without forgetting his ulterior motives: "Deng Aiyan brought people of unknown origin into the customs. Did he get the consent of the Prime Minister?"
As soon as Liu Feng said those words, the faces of the people outside the tent couldn't help but change.
If there was no such sentence, was Liu Feng's previous report considered normal? Could it be that after adding that sentence, the meaning of the incident changed.
Almost all of the people outside the tent were the important officials of the Han Dynasty who came to Jiange in those months. Were they sent by Liu Bei to Jiange to assist Zhuge Liang?
In terms of their status, Deng Ai's status as a mere lieutenant general was not enough to attract their attention, even though they heard that Deng Ai had made great contributions to the Eastern Conquest in the Southern Expedition.
With that kind of concept, when everyone heard that Deng Ai had brought people of unknown origin without authorization and wanted to enter the country, they inevitably felt unhappy and hesitant in their hearts.
Liu Feng specifically stated at the beginning whether Deng Ai's unpleasant and hesitant actions were approved by Zhuge Liang.
Then Liu Feng's purpose is obvious. He specifically transferred the unhappiness and hesitation of the ministers from Deng Ai to Zhuge Liang.
It was almost obvious what Liu Feng meant, otherwise he could have had a better way of reporting.
Because of this, everyone's expressions became unnatural.
We have long heard that Liu Feng has a strong character and has long been dissatisfied with the Prime Minister. I have heard that everyone was quite surprised when they saw with their own eyes that Liu Feng had bad intentions towards Zhuge Liang.
The ministers outside the account did not misguess Liu Feng's intentions.
After Liu Feng learned about what happened at the east gate of Jiange City, he had an alternative idea in his mind.
According to common sense, Deng Ai brought out Zhuge Liang to endorse him. Whether Xianbu Shen's incident was true or not, and whether it maintained Zhuge Liang's authority, Liu Feng should have brought Deng Ai and others in as soon as possible.
After being brought in, he requested that someone be sent to strictly guard Deng Ai and others. Even if Deng Ai had ulterior motives, things would be under control.
Then find a suitable time to report the matter privately to Zhuge Liang for verification. Is this the best of both worlds?
But Liu Feng didn't do that.
He knew clearly that in those months when Zhuge Liang was discussing matters with the ministers from Chengdu, he wanted to reveal the matter directly on a special occasion. Wasn't it to make it difficult for Zhuge Liang?
Liu Feng was certain that what Deng Ai said was definitely a lie.
Liu Feng was in charge of the defense of Jiange before Zhuge Liang came. He knew very well that there were Han troops outside Jiange and Wei troops dozens of miles away.
Recently, except for Deng Ai who would take people out of Jiange for hunting, no one has gone out at all. And from the report of the deputy general, we can know that those people are definitely not the people Deng Ai took out during that period.
So, aren't the identities of those people led by Deng Ai ready to be revealed?
Definitely not Wei Jun.
Those few people must not be able to defeat the Liangzhou Army hundreds of miles away.
This was not only against Liu Feng's judgment, but also against the soldiers at the city wall, and even the ministers outside the tent. Otherwise, their first reaction to the matter would not be doubtful.
Based on that kind of inference, what was the purpose of Xianbu Deng Ai bringing those Wei troops into the pass? If that matter was really arranged by Zhuge Liang, he would definitely have sent an order to the soldiers at the city wall in advance to let them
Do not seek to stop Deng Ai from leading the Wei army into the pass.
Could it be that Liu Feng did not receive such an order in advance?
From all kinds of details, it is enough to deduce that Deng Ai's statement that Zhuge Liang had known about the mistake was completely false.
The reason why Liu Feng wanted to emphasize that sentence in front of everyone was so that Zhuge Liang could expose Deng Ai's lies with his own mouth.
Once Zhuge Liang did that, Deng Ai would inevitably be dealt with by a military judge.
Deng Ai is Mi Yang's confidant, but if Deng Ai was personally executed by Zhuge Liang, then when Mi Yang learns about this incident in the future, will Mi Yang have no grudges in his heart?
Regardless of whether Mi Yang and Zhuge Liang have a master-disciple relationship now, he and Zhuge Liang were not "master-disciple" before.
Using oneself to save others, Liu Feng didn't think that when his own vital interests were harmed, Mi Yang, who had a similar fighting style to him, would be indifferent to the matter.
After the report, Liu Feng looked at Zhuge Liang with confident eyes, expecting Zhuge Liang to say those words.
Can it be that while Liu Feng and even the ministers were watching, Zhuge Liang slowly spoke:
"What Deng Ai said is true, let him and others enter the customs immediately."
Zhuge Liang's answer directly caused a look of disbelief on Liu Feng's face.
Not only Liu Feng felt unbelievable, but also the ministers present felt unbelievable.
Liu Feng could deduce that everyone present had been immersed in the officialdom for a long time, and they could naturally see it.
Because of this, when Zhuge Liang personally endorsed Deng Ai, Liu Feng and other ministers reacted that way.
Among the people outside the tent, Liu Fengdangdong had the ugliest expression on his face.
Did he really not expect that Zhuge Liang would tell lies with his eyes open if he didn't step into his trap?
Doesn't that mean he knows the Wolong with noble character?
Almost a moment later, Liu Feng blurted out Zhuge Liang's "lies".
But when he looked behind Zhuge Liang's calm eyes, all the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat by those indifferent eyes.
"That's not an order."
Zhuge Liang's words conveyed an irresistible meaning.
When Liu Bei was away, as the prime minister, Zhuge Liang's words were almost equivalent to imperial edicts!
Even though he didn't know why Zhuge Liang would lie to his face, in the face of Zhuge Liang's power, Liu Feng obediently turned around and walked out of the tent to deliver the order.
After Liu Feng left, Zhuge Liang was no longer in the mood to continue the discussion.
He asked all the ministers who were discussing the matter to leave for now.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang's face was not very good, all the ministers got up and walked out of the tent.
It is not difficult to guess Liu Feng's intentions, but no one wants to get involved in the political struggle between a prince who has military power and a prime minister who has military power.
But the ministers from Chengdu did not want to get involved in that kind of thing. As Zhuge Liang's confidants, Yang Yi, Ma Di and others were quite aggrieved.
"The Prime Minister has a generous heart and wants to tolerate each other for the sake of the country, but the son of a borer doesn't think much of it. Prime Minister, please take precautions as soon as possible!"
The son of a worm comes from the Book of Songs, and usually refers to a stepson or adopted son. Although that sentence seems a bit contemptuous, it is actually a neutral pronoun in today's world, with neither praise nor blame.
That sentence was not what Yang Yi said.
Yang Yi, who was aloof and arrogant, after seeing Mingyue Liu Feng's sinister intentions, even though he wanted to fight for Zhuge Liang, he was concerned about Liu Feng's identity, so he simply called him Liu Feng's son.
Not only did Yang Yi think so, but Ma Di also suggested to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, why not write the matter about the bright moon to Bidong and let Bidong decide."
After saying that, Ma Su inadvertently added:
"It's Deng Ai's fault for Mingyue's incident. If it weren't for his words, why would Prime Minister Mingyue bother?"
Ma Su was a respected person and did not say the word "liar". As a close confidant of Zhuge Liang, he naturally knew that what Deng Ai said was completely unfounded.
Unlike Yang Yi, he wanted to shift the conflict to Deng Ai, and his intention was also obvious.
After listening to the words of his two confidants, Zhuge Liang did not show any anger. His expression remained calm.
He first said: "He doesn't understand Zisheng, and I don't understand how to tolerate each other for the sake of the country.
If you want to achieve great things, you must first take the overall situation into consideration.
Taking the overall situation into consideration not only means not asking for what you need when you need it, but also being patient with other people's intentional actions, but it also means asking for what you need when you need it, and not being too pedantic about personal reputation."
Zhuge Liang's words were not intended to dispel the resentment in Yang Yi and Ma Di's hearts, but were they also an explanation for his answer just now.
After saying that, Zhuge Liang defended Deng Ai again:
"Deng Ai is not a reckless person, but he is loyal to Zi Sheng.
Although I don't know why he suddenly brought several Wei soldiers into the pass, but he didn't want to reveal the identities of those people rashly, and he must have something to report.
What he said was also an act of helplessness.”
In Zhuge Liang's view, Deng Ai's head was really not to blame for that incident.
Many things could have been tacitly understood, but Liu Feng did the opposite. I am afraid that even Deng Ai did not expect that Liu Feng would mistake his words and take such a selfish approach.
After saying those words, Zhuge Liang asked Yang Yi and Ma Di to retreat to the east first. He was now very interested in the Wei troops brought by Deng Ai.
Zhuge Liang guessed that Deng Ai would probably bring him some unexpected good news.
Yang Yi and Ma Di saw that Zhuge Liang seemed not to want to pursue the matter too much. After taking a wrong look, they both turned around and retreated out of the tent.
The figures of the two fell into Zhuge Liang's eyes. Thinking of how aggrieved they were for him just now, a look of thought quietly appeared on Zhuge Liang's face.
Some of what he just said was not wrong. Ma Su and Yang Yi said bluntly:
We don't understand Bidong, but he does.
I beg Liu Feng not to commit the unforgivable crime of Dong, and whether Dong will not deal with him easily.
Do you really think that just because Bidong released Liu Feng from confinement, he would just let Liu Feng garrison the sword pavilion?
Some words can be seen through, but they can never be said.
That day Dong's surname was Liu after all.
As for whether there are some things that require early preparation, Mingyue's incident sounded a warning bell in Zhuge Liang's heart.
Zhuge Liang did not wait too long outside the tent. Soon after, Deng Ai came to Zhuge Liang with the few "Wei soldiers".
Zhuge Liang was originally sitting there, wanting to know what Deng Ai's purpose was in bringing those Wei troops into the pass.
But the first words out of Deng Ai's mouth immediately made Zhuge Liang lose his indifferent expression.
"Prime Minister, are those sergeants from Liangzhou? There is a secret message from the general requesting to report to the Prime Minister."
Deng Ai's words revealed the identities of those sergeants.
Even Zhuge Liang had not guessed in advance that those sergeants were from Liangzhou.
How did they get here?
And what the leader of the few sergeants said to the east made Zhuge Liang stand up from his seat:
"The general has something to say: Yizhou reinforcements can enter Liangzhou from Dingjun Mountain!"
Zhuge Liang:!
That kid actually thought of going together on his own?
After being shocked, Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing.
That boy is truly worthy of being a ruthless disciple.
Thousands of words condensed into four words:
I'm extremely sorry.
