Chapter 784: Zhuge Liang's helplessness
Chapter 784: Zhuge Liang’s helplessness (third update)
After boarding the carriage, Zhuge Liang soon arrived at Jiangyang City.
Although Zhuge Liang had some friendship with Jiangyang Prefect Ma Feng, it could be said that he had a deep relationship. However, it was Zhuge Liang's first time to come to this city.
Because Zhuge Liang basically doesn't care about the work at home, his wife is naturally in charge of the food, rice, oil and salt. He only cares about reading books and occasionally cultivates the land.
Or suddenly, I became interested and played the piano and had fun.
Anyway, it’s just a self-cultivation and a very leisurely look. Naturally, there is no need to come to Jiangyang City.
Nowadays, the news of Kou Feng's arrival of the army is limited to officials, so the people in the city are on a regular basis. Jiangyang is a big city, so it is naturally very prosperous.
After entering the city, the carriage also slowed down to avoid injuring pedestrians.
It took a long time to come to the gate of the prefect's mansion.
Ma Feng, who received the news first, stood in front of the gate and waited in person. Seeing Zhuge Liang arrived, his eyes lit up and immediately came up. He bowed and said, "But I'm looking forward to Kong Ming."
"Brother, I'm so serious." Zhuge Liang quickly got off the carriage, helped Ma Feng up, and said.
He called out brother and called Ma Feng a little ashamed. At the beginning, he had a bad intention, so he used soft and hard methods to make friends with Zhuge Liang.
Although I really became friends later, my purpose at the beginning was indeed impure. Especially now that the disaster is coming, Zhuge Liang still needs to resolve it.
This made Ma Feng feel even more ashamed.
However, this shame lasted for a moment, because it was still the most important thing to resist Kou Feng's army. Therefore, Ma Feng immediately said: "Kong Ming follows me."
As he said that, Zhuge Liang could not help but tell him, and then he pulled Zhuge Liang into the prefect's mansion. He walked a lot of roads along the way and came directly to the study.
Once you enter the study.
Ma Feng clasped his fists at Zhuge Liang and said, "I believe Kong Ming knows the danger of Shu Kingdom today. I also ask Kong Ming to come up with a plan to resolve this danger."
Zhuge Liang was prepared for this. He shook his head and said, "The survival of the country cannot be changed by one person. If the top and the other are united, there may not be no chance. But Shu has always been divided into several forces and compete with each other. Now that the enemy is outside, people's hearts have long been floating. Not to mention that Jiangyang City is difficult to save, even if Jiangyangcheng is saved, Shu will still have no power to turn the world."
This is definitely a heartfelt statement. In Zhuge Liang's opinion, Shu Kingdom has long been saved. It is just that it has been supported until now by relying on the dangerous obstacles of mountains and rivers.
Because of his high expectations, Ma Feng caught Zhuge Liang like he was catching a life-saving straw. But now, what Zhuge Liang said is so decisive.
Full of hope, it suddenly turned into worry-free.
Ma Feng suddenly felt like a twilight year, his face was pale, his whole body shook for a moment, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he grabbed Ma Feng, otherwise the prefect might have fallen to death.
But Ma Feng seemed to have lost his soul, and a few tears flashed in his turbid eyes. It is said that a real man will not shed tears easily.
What's more, Ma Feng has a well-behaved character and is also a prefect.
Zhuge Liang suddenly remembered that during this period in Jiangyang, Ma Feng was unable to bear it.
He actually has the strategy.
It can stop Kou Feng for a while, and perhaps protect Jiang Yang. But he is about to defect to Kou Feng. If he offers advice at this time, wouldn’t he be able to make a decision?
Zhuge Liang was a little hesitant. But looking at Ma Feng's appearance, Zhuge Liang felt very unbearable.
Besides, his strategy was just to protect Jiangyang. There was no absolute conflict with Kou Feng's advance route. Kou Feng did not need to lose his troops and generals.
It harmed the interests of Chu.
Unbearable, and there was no substantial harm to Chu State. Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, don't do this. I have another plan. I can't protect Shu State, but I can protect Jiangyang, so that I will not let my brother lose the city and become the sinner of Shu State."
But Ma Feng was already desperate and a little confused at this moment. Zhuge Liang didn't hear him.
It was Zhuge Liang who helped Ma Feng up and said again. Ma Feng heard it. He couldn't help but lit his eyes, staring at Zhuge Liang tightly, and tremblingly said, "Kong Ming's words are serious?"
Zhuge Liang was really helpless when he looked at Ma Feng's appearance. Shu Kingdom is really loyal. It can be said that it is a place of outstanding people, but Liu Zhang really can't do it.
Although Zhuge Liang was helpless, he did not show his face. He nodded and said, "The Kingdom of Shu is helpless, but Jiangyang may not be helpless."
Zhuge Liang's words are two concepts. On the one hand, it means that Jiangyang may be saved. But Shu will definitely have a way to save him if he dies.
He was not trying to oppose Kou Feng, he just couldn't bear to see Ma Feng's appearance.
But in Ma Feng's opinion, Zhuge Liang is really a god. Jiang Yang has no military strength and is at a critical juncture. Kou Feng mostly chose to occupy it as one of the supply points behind.
But unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang said that this situation could be saved. What is this not a god?
"Please help Kong Ming." Ma Feng bowed to Zhuge Liang happily, bowing down very grandly.
"Hey, brother, don't have to do this." Zhuge Liang sighed and helped Ma Feng up again.
Sincerely, he is unwilling to be an enemy of Kou at this critical moment. But.
Why.
Zhuge Liang felt very conflicted and wanted to kick this guy away.
……………………………………………….
Just when Zhuge Liang was struggling, Kou Feng's army was in a state of power. He would eat in a city wherever he came along. He didn't have to pay, just take the granary directly.
The local county magistrate not only dared not resist, but also needed help.
After two days of rapid attack, Kou Feng's army finally arrived near Jiangyang.
When leaving the deep mountains, Kou Feng's army had only more than 20,000 people, with its own dry food and no supplies. But at this moment, the army appeared on the earth.
But it was the army in front and the large carts in the rear.
Very complete.
Shu was rich. Although he only plundered a few cities, the food in it was enough for his 20,000 troops to eat for a year.
Not taking them all away, Kou Feng only took away his food for three months. After all, he would have to stay in Yizhou in the future and could not plunder the county town under him.
Because Kou Feng was not too anxious, the army left neither hurry nor slow, neither fast nor slow. Soon after, he arrived near Fu Village.
"Your Majesty, there is Fu Village in front of you."
At this moment, Kou Feng was riding a fairly docile war horse and walked in front. Next to him was Kou Shui, who pointed to the village where a little trace was revealed in front.
Said.
As the general of the State of Chu, he was responsible for protecting Kou Feng's Kou Shui. He naturally knew some of Kou Feng's intentions. For example, when he was fighting in Jingzhou, he escaped Zhuge Liang, and Kou Feng often thought about it.
He also sent a team of spies to enter Shu Kingdom for surveillance, and even caught the big fish Man Chong.
Now, Kou Feng personally led a large army to set foot here. Kou Shu River doesn't have to think about what Kou Feng would do.
"We're finally here." Kou Feng raised his head, looked into the distance, and said with a smile.
At the beginning, when Zhuge Liang ran away, Kou Feng wanted to stop him, but there was no big ship at that time and he couldn't catch up. Is there any way to capture Shu immediately?
I had to let it go.
But Kou Feng could never forget this person. Although Zhuge Liang's existence may be the main reason why Liu Bei gave up Xu Shu and his abandonment.
But this was not Zhuge Liang's own fault. At the beginning, it was Liu Bei's wishful thinking, thinking that relying on Zhuge Liang's wisdom would not require Xu Shu.
Zhuge Liang did not interfere with Xinye's incident back then. Therefore, Kou Feng was actually full of desire to recruit Zhuge Liang.
The so-called "Wuanbian" is governed by civilianism. Perhaps Zhuge Liang's evaluation of military affairs in history was not outstanding, but he could only be considered first-class. However, the country is definitely the best.
The State of Chu seems to have many talents now, but which monarch does not need one more talent?
Moreover, there are really few talents who govern the country. Jiang Wan is one, but only one. If Zhuge Liang is included, the national affairs of Chu should be very smooth.
The Chu Congress became even stronger.
In addition, in history, Zhuge Liang did take some power, but his outstanding ability can make up for these.
What's more, Kou Feng's tent has many talents, so he is not afraid of the concentration of power on one person. It can be said that Kou Feng is not afraid of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi joining.
In addition, Zhuge Liang cannot be compared with Sima Yi.
It is true that Zhuge Liang was a powerful minister, but Zhuge Liang could sit upright until his death, but Sima Yi usurped the throne. Therefore, Kou Feng had to use Sima Yi, but he had to be on guard against Sima Yi.
But Zhuge Liang could be much less relaxed.
Anyway, the State of Chu needed Zhuge Liang, and could perfectly accommodate Zhuge Liang and eliminate some of Zhuge Liang's own shortcomings.
Kou Feng was determined to win Zhuge Liang.
Now that I finally got here, outside the village, I was in a great mood.
Fucun should mean temporarily lurking and waiting for the soaring. And Zhuge Liang's soaring stage is Chu State.
While Kou Feng was very happy, he ordered: "Go and enter the village."
"No." Kou Shui responded to his promise and immediately led a large army with Chen Da, Xiang Chong, Xu Sheng and others to kill Xiang Fu Village.
In the village, there were Liu Bei's old subordinates at that time. According to Kou Feng's information, there should be a small number of 200 people. For so many people, perhaps Liu Bei's loyalty is there.
Kou Feng had to guard against this.
He doesn't want to be assassinated like Sun Ce.
It is necessary to guard against others.
Soon, the army surrounded this small village. The women in the village were trembling and hugging the children were at a loss.
The men were very calm, and many people stared at the handsome flag with the character "Chu".
It was the people under this flag who killed their lord Liu Bei.
However, Kou Feng ignored these hatred gazes. He asked the soldiers on both sides to check nearby to prevent anyone from shooting cold arrows, and he came to the center of the village.
It is outside Zhuge Liang's mansion.
