Chapter 404 Dispute

Chengdu's urban structure is unusual, and it is formed by the merger of four cities, namely the Dacheng, Shaocheng, Jinguancheng and Cheguancheng. The mansion of Yizhou's governor is in Dacheng, and the Shu County capital is in Shaocheng.

Since the city also accommodates a large number of government offices, schoolyards, military camps, granaries and other facilities, it is relatively small in area, and the flow of people is less. Not to mention that after the war, the city is in a depressed state.

At this moment, outside the main entrance of the Yizhou Mu Mansion, there were no pedestrians, cars and horses in the square with hundreds of steps in a square with armored soldiers guarding with halberds. Therefore, the confrontation between Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong and his entourages on the wide road was particularly eye-catching.

It is indeed a confrontation. Although the entourages of both sides are very familiar with each other and wave to each other affectionately, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also smiled, it is undoubtedly a confrontation.

Lei Yuan really didn't want to get involved in these things anymore. When he was about to leave, he felt that he would not say goodbye, which was a big rude. While he was lying around, Zhao Yun waved to him on the steps. So Lei Yuan hurriedly retreated back to the platform and stood beside Zhao Yun.

"What are the two military advisors doing... What's going on?" Zhao Yun asked with a frown.

Lei Yuan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Apart from more than ten steps, Pang Tong glanced at Lei Yuan who had retreated and greeted Zhuge Liang: "Have Kong Ming and Xu Yi got up? I believe he has to work hard along the way."

"Shang Hao. Some things need to be discussed with the lord, so I was a little anxious. Fortunately, everything has been arranged now." Zhuge Liang smiled and patted the dust on his body: "Now, let's go back to the museum to wash clothes and change clothes, and come to find Shiyuan later."

"Why go to the house..." Pang Tong said diligently: "Now, there are many vacant houses in Chengdu. I have prepared houses for each of you, and the servants and servants are ready-made. Continue, I will send someone to take you to the house for a rest. As for Kong Ming, please wait for a moment? I will lead the way for you in person... I have specially selected your house, small and quiet, and you will definitely like it."

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Shi Yuan, I'd better go to the museum."

"Kong Ming, is there something..."

"I'm not hiding the Shi Yuan, I have just agreed with the lord that the detained Chengdu civil and military officials would release them one after another, and all their land, houses, property, and property will be returned." Zhuge Liang said slowly: "In this case, I'm afraid that even if I go to that house, I won't be able to live for a few days. It's better to settle in the museum first."

Pang Tong's eyes flashed.

"So that's it..." After a while, he nodded and said, "No wonder, you came so urgently, are you worried that I will do it too quickly?"

"It's true. I know that Shi Yuan is aggressive and decisive. If he is late for a few days, he is afraid that hundreds of more families will be filial to the city of Chengdu."

"Now the world is chaotic, with blood flowing and squirting. Kong Ming has been in the military for a long time. There is no need to be afraid of a few people."

"It's okay to have casualties on the battlefield. If there is no need to massacre, it will be too tragic."

Pang Tong smiled and said, "What does it mean to be meaningless? Kong Ming, are those people arrested for no reason? They are all those who lead the children of the army in Jingzhou to resist when our Jingzhou army entered the city, and they are stubborn! These people will be a disaster in the future. It is better to deal with them, kill one group, demote another group, and then sweep dust for the lord."

"Shi Yuan, you are talking nonsense! Why are these people becoming dust?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but raise his voice.

After a pause, he slowed down his tone and continued, "Shi Yuan, I know your intentions. When Liu Jiyu was in power, he was not so powerful, which led to the powerful beings and domineering and self-power. Therefore, the wealthy family was rich and the people were exhausted, and the power of the prefectures was repeatedly invaded and mediocre. Therefore, you want to take advantage of the opportunity to seize Yizhou and use thunderous means to eliminate some obstacles to future governance for the lord, so as not to be restrained after the war ends."

"That's right. How can you let go of such a good opportunity?"

Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "Even if it is a good opportunity, you can't do this! Shi Yuan, the lord is a kind and gentleman, a hero that scholars in the world look up to, not Dong Zhuo!"

When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he tried his best to refer to scholars in the early days, but soon declared a break with the scholars in the world with fierce killings, and then burned Luoyang for atrocities and eventually became a recognized rebel traitor in the world. Zhuge Liang's accusations were extremely serious.

Sure enough, when this was heard, Pang Tong suddenly breathed heavily, his face turned red: "That was just a group of native tyrants and officials! And we have the support of Jingzhou people! Who dares to regard the lord as Dong Zhuo?"

"The scholars in Jingzhou are only greedy for their official positions! You go and ask them, who has stood up to support your violent actions in Chengdu? In the end, aren't they the lord who has taken on the bad reputation?"

Zhuge Liang shouted: "In the past, Liu Yan and his son used Dongzhou people to control the natives of Yizhou, which led to decades of wars and wars. Now you use Jingzhou people as Yizhou people. The common hatred of Dongzhou people will stop once the incident triggers? No matter how you deal with it, it will damage the reputation of the lord! Pang Shiyuan, you are spending all the reputation that the lord has accumulated over the past decades to seek temporary benefits!"

Pang Tong sneered repeatedly: "Then let them all be released and restored to their posts? These people are old ministers, high schools, and their forces are buried deep in the ground, and most of them will not support us wholeheartedly, and they all have their own ulterior motives... At that time, we will have to work hard to deal with the countless bad things they have caused! Kong Ming, do you believe these people? If you put them back to Chengdu, we will not be able to free up our strength to move north in the next three to five years!"

He paused and gritted his teeth and said, "Cross You Jingyi is just the beginning! Then we have to face Cao Mengde, who occupies most of the world! Cao Mengde is in Chang'an now! There are not many places for competition in the world. If you take a step slower, the opportunity will slip away!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the people around him.

The followers and servants had already withdrawn far away very consciously. Zhao Yun and Lei Yuan, who were standing above the steps, seemed to be talking about other things without caring. Only the fierce words of the two people were left, floating in the cool autumn wind.

The weather was already very cold, but Zhuge Liang felt a little hot and wanted to open his clothes and let his chest blow the wind. He tried his best to suppress his emotions and said decisively:

"Shi Yuan, the lord, always believed that to pacify the world, we must control the powerful and help the poor and the weak. We all think so. But things in the world are often hastily but not fulfilled, and even more so in governing the country. We must always be patient and deal with it one by one. If they violate the laws, there will naturally be laws to punish them; if they disobey the law, we also have the means of promotion, reward and derogation... In any case, we must never abuse conspiracy. Shi Yuan, the lord, is to extend the righteousness of the world, calm people's hearts, and rebuild the prosperous era, rather than establishing hegemony with force and power!"

"Kong Ming, are you going to stop my plan?" Pang Tong sighed deeply.

"Your idea is not wrong, but you're too impatient... You might as well try it with my method!"

Pang Tong was silent for a while: "I'm tired, I have to go back to my house to rest."

He ignored Zhuge Liang, bowed to Zhao Yun and Lei Yuan nearby, and then turned back to board the bus.
