The Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Jun bowed his head, cupped his hands and said.

The three people in the hall were surprised when they heard the words. Although they had already guessed in their hearts, they still felt a little surprised when they heard Zhuge Jun say it himself.

What surprised them was the Zhuge family, a family of three masters.

Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang are now famous all over the world, one of the best young talents, they belong to the best of the young generation, and they are still young but in high positions in power.

Now with the addition of Zhuge Jun with extraordinary abilities, they really have to admire the Zhuge family for their talents.

"What a Langya Zhuge clan!"

Even Xun You, who was born in the Xun family, felt respect from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

In fact, Zhuge's family is at most just an ordinary local tyrant, and he was forced to flee to the south to seek refuge.

He has a thousand years of background in the Xun family of Yingchuan, and he can be regarded as the best of the family, but he is no more than mediocre now.

Maybe the Zhuge family is not as good as the Xun family in terms of influence, but in terms of potential, Zhuge can kill the Xun family in Yingchuan every minute. The Xun family is too close to the Cao Wei family. The Cao Wei court is about to fall, and they will soon be defeated. Disabled.

But the Zhuge family is different. Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang are both young, and the current situation, the world belongs to Wu, and the future is boundless. As the prime minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, Xun Yu, it would be very difficult for Xun You to survive. Except for the Xun Zhan lineage in Jizhou, there are probably few people in the Xun family who can survive.

"Zhuge Jun, are you the master of Soochow?"

Zhang He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zhuge Jun, and asked coldly.

"General, I am not!"

Zhuge Jun raised his head, his eyes did not retreat at all, he met Zhang Xi's tiger eyes firmly, and said loudly: "Although I, Zhuge Jun, and Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang are brothers, we are each our own master, and we each live in peace. , I am highly valued by the prime minister, and I will never dare to do such trivial things as betraying the Great Wei!"

"You say it's not, isn't it?"

Cao Xiu stood up, pulled out the sword at his waist with his backhand, the blade was sharp and cold, and said: "Soochow is best at arranging dark clothes in my court. Both of your elder brothers are important ministers of Soochow, you are the most suspicious !"

"If General Cao doesn't believe in Zhuge Jun, he can take Zhuge Liangjun's head!"

Facing the sharp sword, Zhuge Jun had no fear at all, neither dodged nor dodged, and said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Wen Lie, put away your sword!"

Zhang Yun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Zhuge can be honest with us in person, which is enough to show his sincerity. Now Chang'an needs stability and unity in order to tide over difficulties together. How can we doubt Master Zhuge's loyalty!"

"Let me believe that he can, and he must hand over three thousand county soldiers, and hand over the guards of the granary in the city to our guards!" Cao Xiu said.

"What do you think, Mr. Zhuge?"

"General Zhang He, General Cao Xiu, the people in the city are panicking now. There are not enough soldiers and horses to hold the city gate. Even if I hand over the granary, why do you have soldiers and horses to guard the granary?"

Zhuge Jun asked back: "And if I hand over the granary, how can I explain to my subordinates? I tell them that you don't believe us anymore and suspect us? Aren't you afraid of causing turmoil in the army?"

"I think you have ghosts in your heart?" Cao Xiu shouted.

"I, Zhuge Jun, have a heart for the Great Wei that the sun and the moon can learn from, and the world can prove it!" Zhuge Jun stared at Cao Xiu with frantic eyes, and said word by word: "I just don't want the civil strife in the city at this time, and the Wu army outside the city to be defeated." The benefit of the fisherman is just to break through my city gate without any effort!" (To be continued.)

[Chapter 250 of the main text, Winning Chang'an Five]

When Zhuge Jun left the barracks, his robe, which was already drenched in cold sweat, could not help trembling between the two strands of his robe. This was because he was afraid, thinking that he would almost not be able to get out this time.

Cao Xiu asked him to hand over all the commanding power of the county soldiers and the granary in his hands, which was tantamount to placing him under house arrest and letting him be slaughtered.

Of course he didn't want to.

Although he is loyal to Cao Wei and has no intention of rebelling against Wei, it does not mean that Zhuge Jun is willing to be captured without a fight and let others slaughter him.

But now the blood relationship between him and Zhuge Liang has become a gap of trust between them.

In a dilemma, Cao Xiu almost killed him with a sword in a rage.

It was Zhang He who finally came up with a way to get the best of both worlds. He proposed to let Xun You follow him and manage Chang'an from tomorrow.

In this case, everyone can rest assured.

So Zhuge Jun didn't object either. After all, he didn't have any anti-Wei intentions. He sat upright and was not afraid of being watched. With Xun You next to him, he could feel much more at ease, at least he didn't have to be guessed back and forth by them.

"Hey!"

When Zhuge Jun left the barracks, he couldn't help but glanced back at the Wei Jun army flag on the gate, feeling a little bitter in his heart: "Zhuge Liang's mere strategy made you all mess up, Chang'an is in danger!"

"You believe him?"

In the barracks, Xun You narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zhuge Jun's leaving back, and asked.

"General, in fact, I think it's better to take him in time!" Cao Xiu said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If he is from Soochow, it will be difficult for us to break through!"

Cao Xiu did not believe in Zhuge Jun.

His clan philosophy is very strong, and he thinks that Zhuge's family is now the pillar of the Eastern Wu, so it is hard to guarantee that Zhuge Jun is not a chess piece they buried in Chang'an.

The court of Cao Wei suffered too much from Jinyi Anzi's loss.

"People's hearts are unpredictable. Logically, I should actually trust him, and now we can only trust him. Without his assistance, we can't stand firm at all. He is Chang'an Ling, and he is quite weak in Chang'an City. Only with his support Only then can the situation in Chang'an be stabilized, but I dare not put all my trust on him!"

Zhang He put his hands on his back and his eyes were deep: "It's not that I don't want to take him down, but what he said is right. If I deprive him of all powers and imprison him indiscriminately at this time, with his prestige in Chang'an City, tomorrow Chang'an It will be chaotic, and we will be defeated, so at present we can only retreat, arrange you by his side, keep an eye on him, keep an eye on the granary, and buy a few days!"

"Don't worry, I will watch him!" Xun You nodded: "If he has any abnormal behavior, shoot him to death!"

"Wen Lie!"

"General!"

"You go and prepare the troops, we will break through at any time!" Zhang He glanced at him with a firm gaze, and said, "If something unexpected happens, give up Chang'an immediately!"

He was still a little worried.

So he didn't tell Zhuge Jun that he was going to lead his army to break through and go north to Luoyang.

"Yes!"

Cao Xiu nodded, and immediately went down to prepare troops.

------------

After Zhuge Jun returned to the county government from the military camp, it was almost dawn, and he returned to his territory. Seeing the county soldiers under his command, he felt a sense of steadfastness at this moment.

"My lord, how is the situation?" Jiang Jiong has been waiting at the door for a long time, and hurried up and asked.

"The situation is not very good. After all, Zhuge Liang hit me seven inches. The blood relationship between us has become a slash that cannot be passed. They still have some doubts about me!"

Zhuge Jun drank a cup of tea, calmed down, and said: "But they don't dare to do anything to me, but they will arrange for Xun You to enter the county government office!"
