There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

He stuck out his tongue and poured water into his mouth vigorously, like a puppy.

"What do you mean, Zhou Yu came to attack Nanchang with other plans?"

Zhuge Liang said: "If there are no accidents, it should be. But I thought about it, if I were Zhou Yu, I would definitely not act like this unless I found someone who could join forces to send troops."

Chapter 8 Shi Xie

Sima Yi is also a smart person, Zhuge Liang's words woke him up.

Even though Sima Yi claims to be talented, sometimes he has to admit that his second junior brother often seems to be one step ahead of him in terms of resourcefulness.

Although this step is not big.

But Sima Yi is not very jealous of him. On this point, Sima Yi is far more open-minded than ordinary people.

Being stronger than yourself is better than yourself, there is nothing to deny.

While fanning himself with a palm-flower fan, he thought carefully: "So, do you suspect that the Jiaozhou scholar family has something to do with Zhou Yu? Right now in the south, only Sun Ce and Jingzhou can really pose a threat to Nanchang. The Liu family is only a scholar family."

Zhuge Liang said: "That's right, so I asked for orders to go to Jiaozhou."

The palm tree fan in Sima Yi's hand suddenly stopped.

"You want to go to Shi's house, what are you doing with me and Zhang Ning!"

Xiao Yinger followed Sima Yi, and suddenly said: "I followed Kong Ming voluntarily, I was not dragged by him, so don't compare me to you."

The muscles on Sima Yi's face twitched.

"Okay, you want to go to Shijia, why do you want to drag me?"

Zhuge Liang said indifferently: "It's better to have a senior brother go with me, because something is somewhat wrong."

Sima Yi wondered, "What's wrong?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Since Xu Jing joined the teacher's command, the scholars in Jiaozhou have always been on good terms with us. Even if Zhou Yu wants to incite the scholars, how can he persuade them to change with his ability? I always feel that there is something wrong. But I still can't figure it out, so I can only ask my brother to go with me, so I can take a closer look."

Sima Yi's complexion changed all of a sudden, it became more and more dark, more unhappy and more unhappy.

"Is it because of this? You dragged me to Lingnan on purpose?" Sima Yi gritted his teeth.

Zhuge Liang shivered when he looked at him, and said, "Is there something wrong?"

"Why didn't you tell me about such a small matter?" Sima Yi gritted his teeth and said, "You have to drag me here before you spit it out, you told me, I told you, and now this trip, am I wasting my time? "

Zhuge Liang smiled apologetically, and said, "There are some things that I don't understand myself, so how can I bother senior brother?"

Sima Yi took a deep breath, resisting the urge to hit him, and said, "Second Junior Brother, although you are very resourceful, you are somewhat inferior in this respect. It is actually easy to understand. If I were Zhou Lang, I would definitely I won't think about Shi Xie."

Zhuge Liang said: "Why?"

"One Shixie is too old, already in his sixties, and the other Shixie has been on good terms with us in recent years, and has paid tribute to the court every year. Such an elderly person wants to be at ease, so he must not want to take it easy. To change the stable situation in the past, Zhou Lang wanted to instigate against Shi Xie, and it was impossible to designate him."

Zhuge Liang nodded suddenly, and said, "Senior brother's words are reasonable, so what do you mean?"

Sima Yi said: "Instead of instigating against Shi Xie, it is better to instigate against other members of the Shi family who are young, ambitious, want to start a career, and are not satisfied with the status quo."

Zhuge Liang patted himself on the forehead with a white feather fan, and said: "Senior brother is really smart. I heard that Shi Xie's son, Shi Hui, is young and vigorous. Although he is qualified to inherit Shi Xie's position, Shi Xie is in good health. It's far away and I heard that his political views are different from Shi Xie's. It is said that this person is more irritable and ambitious."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi exchanged a deep look with each other.

After the two of them discussed the matter, it seemed that there was nothing difficult.

A few days later, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and a group of people finally arrived at Jiaozhi.

The location of Jiaozhi County is the southernmost border of the Han Dynasty, and its seat is Guangzhou, one of the most important economic regions in China in later generations.

The Shi Xie brothers ruled Jiaozhi for more than four years. They were powerful and powerful, and their prestige was noble and supreme in the southern border.

When he came in and out, he rang the bell and chime, he was very dignified, he played the flute, and the road was full of chariots. There were often dozens of ascetics burning incense among the chariots and horses.

Zhuge Liang and others came to see Shi Xie in the name of an envoy.

Shi Xie has been on good terms with the imperial court in recent years, and when he heard that the apprentice of the pottery merchant came in the name of an envoy, he should personally meet him.

When Zhuge Liang saw Shi Xie, he first expressed the sincerity of the pottery merchant to him, and then took out the imperial edict to express the sincerity of the pottery merchant.

The pottery merchant represented the imperial court, and Shi Xie was granted the title of General Anyuan and Marquis of Longduting.

Shi Xie was very old, and he was naturally very happy to be granted the title of the imperial court. He cheerfully entertained Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi himself.

There were only three of them at the banquet.

After Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi exchanged cups with Shi Xie for a while, they suddenly said, "Your Majesty, you know why we have come here from afar?"

Shi Xie has lived a long time, so he is naturally not a child, and he probably knows the situation of the northern princes now.

Shi Xie stroked his beard and said: "It is precisely because I don't know what the prime minister ordered the two special envoys that the old man made a special trip to host a banquet alone to entertain the two envoys, and said that there is no one else here. The ear does not touch the sky at the top, and it does not reach the earth at the bottom. This is where the two envoys have something to say, so you might as well speak it out.”

Zhuge Liang secretly praised Shi Xie in his heart, he really is an old fox.

"The situation in the north is clear to you, right?"

Shi Xie didn't hide his secrets, nodded and said: "I have heard a little bit that the former Prime Minister Tao assembled an army of 30 in Qufu to compete with Cao Cao and Sanliu. Now Sun Ce took advantage of the emptiness behind the pottery merchants and raised troops to attack Jiangnan. It was thanks to the prime minister's protection that he was able to sit on the Lujiang River, but now he has betrayed his trust and rebelled against the prime minister. How did Sun Tai produce such a crime! Alas, it is really amazing!"

Zhuge Liang was about to place a feather fan: "Sun Bofu is the only unfilial son in the world. I'm afraid there are some unfilial sons in front of us. It's just that parents treat their children with the same heart, so I'm afraid they may not be able to see clearly."

Shi Xie frowned when he heard the words. He is also an old man, so he naturally knew that Kong Ming meant something.

Shi Xie looked at Kong Ming steadfastly: "This old man is dull, so I ask Zhuge Xiaoyou to express his feelings directly."

Kong Ming said: "I came this time with senior brother Sima. One is to be ordered by the teacher to represent the imperial court to seal the mansion, and the other is to ask the man. I wonder if you have any contact with Zhou Yu?"

"Zhou Yu?" Shi Xie asked in puzzlement, "I don't know Zhou Yu, and I have never had any contact with him. I don't know why little friend Zhuge asked this question?"

Zhuge Liang said: "To tell you the truth, Zhou Yu led his troops to attack Nanchang, and his actions were mostly self-sustaining. According to the investigation of the school office, Zhou Yu seems to have allies, so he acted like this. Looking at the southern princes, Liang can be Zhou Yu's allies. , and can send troops to attack Nanchang, besides Fu Jun, Liang really can't think of anyone else."

Shi Xie said in surprise, "Young friend Zhuge, the old man has nothing to do with Zhou Yu."

Sima Yi said with a smile: "Except for the husband, what about others? The scholar's family has a great career, and I'm afraid that all things are definitely not under the control of the Fujun alone?"

Chapter 871 The Ghost

Shi Xie's face was a little ugly.

What Sima Yi said clearly meant something.

Is this mocking his inability to discipline his family?
