Three Kingdoms lazy man

"It's Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Bashu. Zhuge Liang's nickname is Wolong, and he has amazing talents. Even I have to admit that his resourcefulness is already above all of us." Bai Ren said softly. Rubbing his beard, looking at Cao Rui with a puzzled face in front of him, he pretended to be a little emotional and replied to Cao Rui.

"Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang! I didn't expect such a person to exist in this small land of Bashu, but it's a pity that this person is not used by my great Wei." Cao Rui had a look of emotion on his face when he heard these words, and finally He said in a hoarse voice to himself.

"..." Bai Ren looked at Cao Rui, sat silently on his seat, and slowly looked at Cao Rui, who looked a little heavy. Together, it's hard to say who wins and who loses.

"Father, if you go to deal with Zhuge Liang, how sure are you?" Cao Rui looked at Bai Ren who was sitting in the main seat with a smile on his face. As Bai Ren's adopted son, Cao Rui was very Knowing the ability of his adoptive father, to describe Bai Ren in one sentence, that is an unfathomable fox.

Bai Ren listened to Cao Rui's words, looked at the other person's eyes and stared at him very seriously, finally hesitated, and replied calmly to Cao Rui who was staring at him: "If I meet Zhuge Liang and compete with him, The outcome between us is at most [-]-[-]."

"Yes, is that so?" Cao Rui heard what his adoptive father said, and seeing Bai Ren's calm expression without any fluctuations, he suddenly said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, there is news!" At this moment, a guard from outside came cautiously into the lobby, looking at Bai Ren sitting on the main seat and Cao Rui sitting beside him, he was slightly absent-minded, but Soon he came back to his senses, and said to Cao Rui who was sitting beside him with a heavy tone.

"Teacher is one of his own, if you have anything to say, hurry up and tell me." Cao Rui looked at the guard calmly and looked at Bai Ren who was coming to the side. Cao Rui hesitated for a moment, and said calmly to the guard in front of him.

After hearing Cao Rui's words, the guard immediately replied to Cao Rui with a heavy expression on his face, "General Xia Houshang just sent the news that Meng Da, who is currently guarding Shangyong, seems to be related to Zhuge Liang in Bashu. Now, Meng Da Da seems to have the idea of ​​turning his back on Wei and throwing himself into Shu!"

Cao Rui's expression became a little surprised when he heard such words, while Bai Ren, who was sitting in the main seat, was like an old monk, and he didn't have much expression, on the contrary, these things seemed to be taken for granted.

"Damn it, I named Meng Da the Dingxi General and the Shangyong Prefect, and gave him the right to self-government. I didn't expect this guy to betray the Great Wei!" Hearing this, Cao Rui's expression changed immediately. He got a little angry, and said in a hoarse tone, then looked at Bai Ren who was on the side, and seeing Bai Ren's calm expression, his expression suddenly became a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and send troops to attack Shangyong!" Bai Ren looked at Cao Rui looking at him with a calm expression, and immediately stroked his beard lightly, and spoke calmly to Cao Rui. Said.

"Why, isn't Xia Houshang alone able to deal with Meng Da?" Cao Rui suddenly showed a puzzled expression after hearing Bai Ren's words, and then asked Bai Ren in a low voice.

"If General Xiahou could deal with Meng Da, I'm afraid he would not have sent someone back to inform His Majesty long ago. There must be something signed. Xiahou is approaching, so General Xiahou specially sent someone to pass the news to His Majesty to send troops." Bai Ren After stroking his beard, he spoke calmly to Cao Rui in front of him.

"Your Majesty, there is an envoy outside to report the funeral. The General Who Conquered the South, Muxia Houshang of Jingzhou, died in Xiangyang three days ago." At this time, a famous envoy came to Cao Rui with a serious expression on his face, and said in a nervous tone. .

Chapter 925 There's a change in Shangyong

Xiahou Shang can be said to be the most powerful character in the Xiahou family today. He is Xiahouyuan's nephew. In history, Xiahou is well-known to succeed Cao Ren after Cao Ren's death.

And the cause of Xia Houshang's death in history was also depressed in the end. Xiahoushang's wife was the daughter of the Cao family. own concubine.

And Xia Houshang's wife is not a troublesome master. Seeing that although she is Xiahoushang's wife, she looks like a widow, she finally feels upset and tells her clan brother about it. Cao Pi of the Great Wei Emperor.

Cao Pi knew about this, of course he was very angry, thinking that Xia Houshang didn't give him the face of the Cao family, but Xiahoushang was an important minister of the court, and Cao Piye was embarrassed to do anything to him, so he secretly sent someone to arrest Xiahoushang's family. The beloved concubine Ji was given to death.

Xia Houshang knew that the woman he loved the most had been bestowed to death by his Emperor Wei, and he felt unhappy all of a sudden.

You Cao Pi, as a man, you have the ability to come at me, why do you kill my beloved woman?Do you, Cao Pi, have any objections to me, Xia Houshang?

In the end, Xia Houshang in history, because of this incident, was finally depressed and died in front of Cao Pi. He was also a seed of infatuation and died for love.

However, Xia Houshang in this life did better, at least he lived until after Cao Pi died, but the life span of a person is really determined by the heavens. I didn't expect Xiahoushang to die before Cao Rui inherited the throne for a year.

When Cao Rui heard the news, his complexion suddenly became a little heavy.Although she is the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, her power is still restricted by Cao Pi's Tuogu Minister, but Cao Rui also understands Cao Pi's thoughts. Now, the purpose of setting up six Tuogu Ministers is to let them restrain each other, but now she has passed away. Such restrictions will certainly be broken.

Bai Ren looked at Cao Rui, and when he heard the news of Xia Houshang's death, he still felt a little regretful. After all, he was only less than 40 years old now, so it can be said that he died young, but after the regret, Bai Ren was more joyful. If he wanted to dominate Chao Gang, these thorns in his eyes should at least be loosened or removed.

"Taiwei, thanks to the presence of General Xia Houshang in Jingzhou, now that Xia Houshang has passed away, who does the Taiwei think is the most appropriate to send to guard this Jingzhou?" Cao Rui's expression changed a little at this time He became extremely heavy, looked at Bai Ren who was sitting on the main seat, and asked him in a soft tone.

After listening to Cao Rui's words, Bai Ren looked a little astonished, and found that Cao Rui, who was sitting on the seat at this time, also referred to himself from adoptive father to his official title of Taiwei. It seemed that Cao Rui became a little serious in his heart.

Bai Ren thought about it for a while and it was Zhuge Jin who was guarding Jingzhou. Although his ability seemed passable, he didn't have much achievements in military affairs. He didn't need to send a particularly capable person to resist Zhuge Jin.

"I think one of the two brothers Xiahouba or Xiahouwei can take on this important task and go to Jingzhou to guard." Bai Ren thought for a while, and finally replied calmly to Cao Rui in front of him.

Cao Rui was slightly taken aback when he heard Bai Ren's words. He originally thought that Bai Ren would recommend his son Bai Rong or his disciple Hao Zhao, but unexpectedly, he recommended Xia Houba and Xia Houwei, both of Xia Hou's family. It really looks like it really measures the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"In this case, I will appoint Xiahouba as the general of Zhennan and Xiahouyuan as the general of Pingnan, and let them go to Jingzhou to guard Jingzhou immediately." Cao Rui looked at the main seat with a calm face at this time, with a twitch at the corner of his mouth. With a faint smile on his face, Bai Ren spoke to Bai Ren in a calm tone.

"However, this Meng Da is a stubborn stubble. Your Majesty, I'm afraid the brothers Xiahouba and Xiahouwei are not his opponents." Bai Ren looked at Cao Rui, stroked his beard lightly, a heavy look appeared in the corner of his eyes, Said to Cao Rui who was sitting on the side seat with a serious tone.

"Well, I plan to send the former general Xu Huang to calm down Shangyong, what does the Taiwei think?" Cao Rui listened to Bai Ren's words, looked at the serious expression on the other side, and said to Bai Ren in a soft tone.

"Xu Huang, the former general, is proficient in the art of war and good at commanding troops. He is a good candidate. His Majesty sent him there, and he will definitely be able to subdue Shangyong." After hearing Cao Rui's words, Bai Ren looked at Cao Rui with serious eyes, and then turned pale. He nodded calmly.

So on the second day, the two brothers Xiahouba and Xiahouwei were there.Under the order of Emperor Wei, he left Luoyang in a hurry and went to Xiangyang to take up his post.

Xu Huang, on the other hand, took [-] troops under his command and was going to bypass Xiangyang and go directly to Shangyong. He was going to take the opportunity to attack Shangyong and take Shangyong back under the control of Wei State.

In Shangyong City, as the local emperor Meng Da in the Shangyong area, life can be said to be very chic. After betraying Liu Bei and taking refuge in Cao Pi, Cao Pi gave Meng Da a place in Shangyong in order to subdue him. The power of the region, today's Mengda is almost like the emperor of the region.

"General, there is a letter from Hanzhong." At this moment, a soldier came to Meng Da in a hurry, and said to Meng Da in a calm tone.

Meng Da asked the guard beside him to take the letter, opened the letter carefully, and looked at the signature of the letter, at this time Meng Da's face became a little weird.

It was not her good friend Li Yan who wrote this letter to him, but Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han.

At this time, Meng Da was carefully reading the letter in his hand, and found that among the letters in his hand, Zhuge Liang hoped that Meng Da would remember the relationship between Fazheng and Zhang Song, leave Cao Wei's arms, join the Shu Han, and use his official position as a general to come. Attracted Mengda.

Meng Da saw that Zhuge Liang used the official position of chariot general to attract himself, and a gleam of golden light appeared in his eyes. Although Meng Da is said to be a local emperor in the Shangyong area, Meng Da's official position is very low in the entire Cao Wei. .

Jiangong general, Shangyong prefect, one is a useless miscellaneous general, and the other is a tiny prefect. This is the last place Meng Da wants to see.

Meng Da is a master who believes in his ability very much, and he is also a very proud person. He thinks that his ability is no worse than Zhuge Liang Bairen and the like, but he lacks an opportunity, an opportunity to show the world.

"Now that Zhuge Liang is writing to me, do I want to join the Shu Han?" Meng Da Wo only held the letter in his hand, looked out of the window with a calm expression, and said in a low voice.

"Go and call me Brother Shen Dan!" Meng Da hesitated for a long time, he still couldn't make up his mind, and finally said calmly to the guards at the side, asking him to call his confidantes Shen Dan and Shen Yi. .

Shen Dan and Shen Yi got the order at this time, and came to Meng Da's room cautiously. Seeing Meng Da's hesitant expression, they asked Meng Da in a low voice, "General, what's the matter?"

"Now that Zhuge Liang wrote to me, promising that I am a high official and generous salary, and wants me to join the Shu Han, what do you two think I should do now." Meng Da looked at the two people in front of him with a calm expression at this time, and his tone was somewhat asked in a low voice.

The two brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi suddenly became a little dignified after hearing such words. Shen Yi originally wanted to stand up and say something, but was dragged away by her elder brother.

Shen Yi turned her head to look at Shen Dan, only to see a calm smile on the corner of Shen Dan's mouth, and then said to Meng Da who was sitting in the main seat in a calm tone: "Now we are all based on the general's thoughts, the general What do we want to do, our two brothers are actually following the lead."

"In that case, then I'll write a letter to Zhuge Liang, so that he can make preparations early, so as not to cause Cao Wei to find out in a panic!" Meng Da thought for a while after listening to what the two brothers said, and finally chose to join the Shu Han .So he immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Chengdu immediately.

The two brothers left Meng Da's mansion slowly, looking at the mansion of the prefect of Shangyong, the two brothers looked at each other, and then there were traces of cold smiles on the corners of their mouths.

In Chengdu City, Zhuge Liang got Meng Da's letter, and his face immediately showed a hint of joy, and then he quickly summoned his staff and began to discuss how to take back Shangyong City.

Chapter 926 Bai Ji's Strategy

Zhuge Liang looked at Meng Da's reply, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The geographical location of Shangyong City is very important. It is located at the junction of Jingzhou and Hanzhong. As long as this place is occupied, then Xiangdong can take the opportunity to attack Jingzhou with Soochow, and retreat to guard Hanzhong.

Zhuge Liang wrote a letter without any hesitation, and sent someone to send the letter to Shangyong City, and agreed on a time when he would send someone to take over Shangyong City.

"Immediately send someone to send a letter to Wei Yan, asking him to meet Meng Da at that time." After Zhuge Liang sent the letter to Meng Da away, he immediately sent someone to Hanzhong, and asked Wei Yan, the guard of Hanzhong, to prepare to meet Meng Da and strive for success. He took back the land of shangyong to Bashu.

The two brothers Shangyong Shendan and Shen Yi knew the time agreed by Meng Da and Zhuge Liang, so they wrote a letter quietly at this time, and then sent their confidantes to send the letter to Xiangyang City immediately.
