The sky was dimming. Ever since Zhuge Liang was imprisoned here, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear. According to his plan, Liu Bei should have enjoyed himself in the palace, and then he went out to plan everything. However, it was completely broken now. It was him
Has Liu Bei seen through Liu Bei's plan?
"Impossible... I have always acted carefully. Only my brother and I know about this matter. There will definitely be no leaks. However, the emperor's behavior today is too abnormal. If I can't rush to the Han River to meet Gao Fei at dusk
, then all plans will come to nothing."
Zhuge Liang thought hard. Ever since Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were captured, Liu Bei has changed. The sanctimonious character he used to have no longer exists. Now he kills anyone who doesn't like him. He has transformed into a ruthless person.
A tyrant who killed innocent people.
He couldn't understand what Guan Yu and Zhang Fei represented to Liu Bei, let alone the friendship between them. Therefore, he couldn't see through what Liu Bei was thinking.
While he was thinking about it, the door outside suddenly opened. Guard Mi Fang walked in from the outside, bowed to Zhuge Liang, and then said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, it has been a long time since your absence. Your Majesty has summoned you."
Zhuge Liang was only wearing close-fitting clothes. It was freezing outside at this time. If he went out like this, he would definitely get cold.
Mi Fang was already prepared and had someone bring in an official uniform, which was exactly what Zhuge Liang usually wore. After handing it over to Zhuge Liang, Mi Fang paid homage again: "Prime Minister, please!"
After Zhuge Liang put on his official uniform, he tidied up his appearance a little before going out. He followed Mi Fang without asking anything, just followed quietly, because talking too much will lead to mistakes, and he did not understand what Liu Bei was doing.
When he is crazy, he will not speak easily.
After a while, Mi Fang and Zhuge Liang came to the main hall. There was no one in the main hall except Liu Bei. Mi Fang left first and closed the door from the outside when leaving the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang, long live your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang knelt on the ground and saluted Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was speechless. He stood up from the dragon chair and walked straight to Zhuge Liang. After stopping, he circled around Zhuge Liang and sneered: "Prime Minister, I treat you well, don't I?"
"The emperor treats his ministers with great kindness!"
"In the past, Mr. Shui Jing once said to me, Wolong and Phoenix, if one of the two can settle the world, he called me by name and said that you are Wolong. After I knew it, I immediately entrusted the power of the country to you, Wolong, Wolong
, almost half a month has passed, and you keep lying like this, when will you be able to soar into the sky?"
"I am ignorant and don't know what the emperor means?"
Liu Bei suddenly squatted down, stretched out his hand and lifted Zhuge Liang's head down, looked at it carefully, and made a tut-tut sound in his mouth, saying: "You are quite good-looking, but why don't you do anything about it?"
What? Since I gave you the power, you have not made any achievements. Where did your outstanding performance in the Battle of Wancheng go?"
Zhuge Liang was very unhappy. A wise man could be killed and not humiliated. This time, he felt that Liu Bei had humiliated him. However, he endured a moment of anger in exchange for a lifetime of peace. He could endure this tone. Besides, Liu Bei was more important to him.
, there is indeed a favor. Ever since they followed Liu Bei in Xia Qiu, they, Zhuge, have been working for Liu Bei. First it was Zhuge Jin, and now it is his turn. After running around for many years, this favor should be repaid.
Besides, he also heard his brother mention that when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were drinking in Jingnan, they suddenly mentioned the past when the wine was in full swing. Zhuge Jin was by his side, so he naturally heard it clearly. It turned out that Liu Bei was from
Xuzhou was defeated
, when passing by Langya, he didn't go to save Zhuge at all, but passed by there. Thieves blocked the way and rescued Zhuge by mistake. At that time, Liu Bei was running for his life and didn't even care about himself, so how could he come?
of saving lives.
It was Zhuge who mistakenly thought Liu Bei was the one who came to save them, and regarded Liu Bei as their benefactor. This misunderstanding was really deep.
After Zhuge Liang knew the truth of the matter, his original gratitude to Liu Bei disappeared. When he became deeply aware of the current situation of Jinghan and the powerful military of Huaxia, he had already made a choice in his heart. A good minister chooses the master.
Things, everyone is constantly groping before they meet a wise master. Once they can meet a wise master who appreciates them and allows them to use their talents, they will persevere and follow them.
Before Zhuge Liang became an official, he and Pang Tong were both disciples of Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui. The two of them, one dragon and one phoenix, competed with each other. If Fengchu had achieved success, he led the army of the Western Wei Dynasty to attack Western Shu. And he,
Apart from being famous in the Battle of Wancheng, he has no great achievements.
Therefore, after much thought, he decided to unite with his brothers to launch a coup, using Liu Bei's blood to exchange for the peace of the entire Jingzhou. Therefore, he retreated from the beginning, leaving only two isolated cities. Then,
He then strongly recommended Zhuge Jin to become the governor of Jingnan and command Jiangling's 100,000 troops. In this way, the Zhuge family became the actual person in power.
Then he instigated the relationship between Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, prevented Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from coming back, so as not to ruin his big event, and then used the relationship between Zhuge Jin and Sima Lang to make reasonable negotiations with the Huaxia Kingdom.
Everything went so smoothly, including He Xia, the navy commander, who was secretly attracted by him. When Xu Shao died, he became the prime minister, truly one person is inferior to ten thousand people. But he knew very well that
Days like this will not last long. Under the pincer attack of Huaxia and Wu, even if Jinghan blocks the first wave of offensives, it will be completely plunged into dire straits. By then, the national power will inevitably decline, and it will be more at the mercy of others in the future.
However, all this was disrupted by a dream of Liu Bei. Liu Bei lost his two backbones, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and he seemed to be crazy. First he massacred the ministers, and now he imprisoned the ministers, which disrupted the situation.
Zhuge Liang's plan.
At this time, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Liu Bei complaining that he was not trying his best and had not accomplished anything. Only then did he realize that Liu Bei was not aware of her sinister intentions. So, he had an idea and said: "Let's start."
Your Majesty, I have actually been planning an earth-shattering plan. If this plan succeeds, our army will not only be able to survive this crisis, but also recover the entire lost territory of Jingzhou."
After hearing this, Liu Bei asked: "Speak!"
"I obey." So, Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei that he was planning to surrender to Gao Fei and negotiate for bargaining chips. However, when speaking, Zhuge Liang certainly would not say that this was his true intention, but that he was pretending to do so.
Surrender, first gain Gao Fei's trust, and then let the Chinese army suspend military operations, so that they can deploy their troops to deal with Soochow and defeat them one by one.
After hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly felt a rush of blood and said, "This is a wonderful plan! Why didn't you explain it to me before?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have no choice but to do this. The Huaxia Kingdom definitely has spies stationed in our country. If I informed the Emperor in advance, the Emperor would definitely have some scruples. If we can distinguish the fake and the real in detail,
, can still be distinguished. Therefore, I plan to inform the emperor about the matter after gaining Gao Fei's trust. At that time, the emperor can personally lead the army south to fight against Soochow, and no longer worry about what is behind him.
The Chinese army is here."
"If this plan succeeds, you will have made a great contribution. Prime Minister, feel free to do it. I will support you. I will send people to transfer Tian Yu and Yan Yan back and continue to let He Xia serve as
The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy will inevitably spoil the Prime Minister's important affairs."
Zhuge Liang said happily: "This is the best."
Later, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang away and asked Zhuge Liang to complete what he should complete. After Zhuge Liang left, Liu Bei's face that originally exuded a charming smile suddenly turned gloomy. He twisted his face and said loudly: "Come out."
."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black shadow floating down from the pillars of the hall, and a masked man in black stood beside Liu Bei.
Liu Bei looked at the man in black, but he didn't recognize him. He could only see the pair of deep eyes, like a bottomless black hole, but exuding a unique charm.
"Your Majesty, should you believe what I say now?" the man in black said first.
"If what you say is true, I will naturally not sit idly by. How can I give up the country that I have worked so hard to gain to others? I will defend this country to the death, and no one can take it away.
Let's go. But I'm curious, are you
How do you know that Zhuge Liang will betray me?" Liu Bei looked at the man in black again and found no familiar figure at all. This was a complete stranger, so strange that once the man in black left, he would never remember him again.
who is he.
"You don't need to know this. In short, the Han Kingdom is in danger now. China is in the north and Soochow is in the south. They are attacking from both sides. If this delicate relationship is not properly handled, the Han Kingdom will collapse in an instant. The soldiers of Soochow are all from the conquest.
Shi Xie was transferred back from the Yue Kingdom, so the soldiers
Everyone will look very tired. If half a month has passed and there has been no military action, it means that Soochow will not launch an attack for the time being and is recuperating. It will have to wait until next spring at the latest. So please don't worry about Soochow and just focus on it.
Just focus on dealing with China."
"Why are you telling me these things, who are you, and what is your purpose in telling me?" Liu Bei said more and more suspiciously.
"Haha, I'm here to help you. Zhuge Liang is bound to launch a coup. If the emperor doesn't make preparations as soon as possible, I'm afraid he will be slaughtered. I have said what I should say, and there is no need to stay here.
Say your goodbyes."
"Bang!"
Mi Fang led the guards and broke in from the outside. Liu Bei retreated to Mi Fang's side in time. One hundred crossbowmen kept aiming at the man in black and fired fiercely at the man in black.
However, before the crossbow arrow could hit, the man in black turned around and hid behind a pillar. Later, while the crossbowman was loading arrows, a kite turned over and jumped out of the window, rolling on the ground.
After that, with a slight tap of his feet, his body stood lightly on the palace wall that was more than ten feet high.
"Haha, Liu Xuande is really cruel and ruthless. I came to help you, but you wanted my life. However, what I said is the truth. China is your number one enemy. Soochow is just fishing in troubled waters to get a share of the pie.
As long as you defeat the Huaxia Kingdom, the Soochow army will naturally retreat without a fight! Say goodbye."
The man in black disappeared without a trace as soon as he rose and fell.
"Chase!" Mi Fang shouted, leading the others to chase him.
Liu Bei stopped him and said, "There is no need to chase him. This person can easily enter and leave the heavily guarded palace. Even if you catch up, you will not be a match."
Mi Fang said: "Your Majesty, are you going to let him go like this? Is there any other Zhuge Liang? I will catch him immediately and kill him to avoid future troubles."
"Don't scare the snake. Whatever Zhuge Kongming wants to do, let him do it. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Now that I know this, I won't sit idly by. You immediately secretly send an order to Tian Yu to let him do it.
Instead of He Qian, he will serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Forces and ask Yan Yan to come back. I have important arrangements to make!"
"I obey!"
After Mi Fang left, Liu Bei also secretly thought about who this man in black was. But no matter how he thought about it, he could be sure that he was definitely not from the Huaxia Kingdom, because the Huaxia Kingdom would never shoot himself up at this time.
Moreover, he was also thinking about how to deal with Fang Geliang's upcoming rebellion and how many people were with Zhuge Liang.
Later, he called for discussion with Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, and Yi Ji. When the four ministers heard the news that Zhuge Liang would rebel, they were all shocked. They did not expect that someone Liu Bei valued so much would secretly rebel.
. Everyone then brainstormed and prepared to formulate a preliminary plan.
The man in black appeared after Liu Bei woke up from his sleep. He discovered that his guard was having an affair with a palace maid. After he immediately killed him, he saw a man in black running in. After a fight, Liu Bei lost to the man in black.
The man was subdued by the man in black, but the man in black did not have any ill intentions. Instead, he let Liu Bei go and informed Liu Bei about Zhuge Liang.
After Liu Bei heard this, he issued the order and summoned his ministers overnight. At first he remained calm, and then he repeated Zhuge Liang's words bit by bit.
At this time, after the man in black left the palace, he was afraid that there would be pursuers, so he hid in a corner for a while. After finding that there were no pursuers, he took off his black clothes, revealing the Han soldiers who were already wearing them.
Dressed as a captain of the Guards, he walked out of the palace in a swaggering manner.
When the man in black was fighting with Liu Bei last night, he stole Liu Bei's personal jade pendant and used it to deceive the gate guard guarding the city. After leaving the city, the man in black ran straight to the southeast gate outside the city.
In a small forest twenty miles away, several people had already been waiting there. When they saw the man in black coming, they gathered around and said, "I'd like to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
