Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

As soon as I entered the tent, I felt that the atmosphere was not very right. Apart from Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu, there were naturally some people sent by the court in the tent. "What's the matter?" Seeing that Lu Bu didn't seem very happy, with a gloomy look on his face, Ling Hao couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang, maybe Zhuge Liang gave another order. "It's nothing. Bring the captives up first." Zhuge Liang didn't answer Ling Hao's question, but just waved his hands to the guards in front of the account. Ling Hao was speechless, so he had to sit down next to Lu Bu for the time being.

After a while, the guards lifted the curtain again and entered, followed by a few people with their hands bound, who looked like they were dressed as centurions or something.Zhuge Liang glanced at the people in the audience, "Which subordinate do you belong to?" As soon as the words fell, a person from the audience stood up and said: "I, we are Gaoding's subordinates." Then the rest of the people echoed .Zhuge Liang glanced at the battle report sent up in his hand, it clearly stated the number of soldiers under Yong Kai and Gao Ding, and the uniforms of the two were different, he raised his eyes and looked at the few people under the stage again .The few people who were bound did not dare to vent their anger. After a tormenting silence, Zhuge Liang finally nodded, "Let it go." The few people in the audience immediately felt relieved.Before the other people sitting on the side could react, they heard that Zhuge Liang had recruited a few more people, and this time they were undoubtedly the truly high-ranking subordinates.After asking the same question repeatedly, several people in the audience replied that they were Gao Ding's subordinates. Zhuge Liang nodded again when he heard the words, and said the same sentence: "Let it go.".This moment confused everyone present. The purpose of setting up an ambush was to capture the enemy. No one expected that Zhuge Liang asked two questions, and all of them were sent off at once. They planned to write back and report to the emperor. Well, the people who were arrested are gone, so how do they report it?

"Military Master Zhuge, you—" The person on the lower right seat got up and opened his mouth to dissuade him.Zhuge Liang glanced at the other party, and in his impression this person's name was Li An, and he was the emperor's general. "General Li, don't be in a hurry.", without arrogance or impetuosity, speaking in a flat tone, Li An had no choice but to sit down again and hold back his temper.Zhuge Liang pushed aside the battle report in his hand, and then said to the few people standing below: "Yong Kai made his subordinates surrender today, and I want to offer the heads of Gao Ding and Zhu Bao for credit. Although General Gao and I are enemies, this The matter is not above board. Since you are Gao Ding's subordinates, I will let you go back today, hoping that you will not rebel again. If you are captured again in the future, I will not forgive you lightly."Several people in the audience were startled and looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they couldn't believe it, but when they heard that Zhuge Liang would not kill the prisoners, they immediately thanked Zhuge Liang in a hurry, claiming that they would definitely bring the words to the audience.Seeing the guards leading a few people out of the big tent, Zhuge Liang looked at the few people headed by Li An.

"Mr. Zhuge, our army managed to capture these enemy troops with great difficulty. They should have killed a hundred of them. Why did you release them all today? How is this different from Zonghu Going Back to the Mountain?" Li An didn't understand. There was some dissatisfaction faintly.After all, Zhuge Liang was under Liu Bei's command, and they were not happy about letting an outsider replace their imperial court to attack and recover southern Xinjiang. In addition, the dignified Marquis Lu Wen was also sent by this person now...they would not I understand why the current Holy Majesty wants to entrust such a big matter to an outsider.The saying that you must first settle down when fighting against the outside world has existed since ancient times. The 50 troops are all imperial soldiers and horses, but the leader is not a member of the imperial court, but a military division under the command of the King of Hanzhong. The conflict of power already exists. I knew this kind of thing would happen from the beginning, so I didn't mind the doubts of Li An and others, it was like he had just entered Liu Bei's command.When he first came out of the mountain, Guan and Zhang also didn't believe him, but after going through a series of battles, didn't they also be convinced?

"Do you know why I let them go back?" Zhuge Liang asked back, but Li An didn't answer. If he knew, he wouldn't stand up and question Zhuge Liang. "Let General Wei explain it." Zhuge Liang changed the subject and threw the question to Ling Hao who was at the side.Ling Hao originally wanted to ask Lu Bu what happened while Zhuge Liang was explaining, but the other party gave him the task of explaining.In fact, Zhuge Liang didn't explain the whole plan to Ling Hao in detail, but only told him to do a few things and pass a few words.Li An's gaze immediately turned to Ling Hao. In terms of the time of reign, Ling Hao would naturally be longer. For the time being, except that Ling Hao originally belonged to Liu Bei, not to mention that he was Zhuge Liang's apprentice, just in terms of persuading Liu Bei to return to Han, how many of them are there? At least there should be some respect. Unfortunately, Ling Hao is much younger than Li An. It is still difficult for him to show respect to such a young man.

"As far as General Li said, even if our army trod across the land of Nanzhong with iron hooves, what we would get is nothing more than the word 'victory'. The emperor has just regained his power, and what he wants is not only the unity of the kingdom, It is more about the willing surrender of Wang Tuzimin. The purpose of the military division to release the captives this time is threefold. One is to make Yong Kai's subordinates have the heart to surrender to Gaoding, the other is to make it easier for Ehuan to persuade Gaoding to surrender, and the third is to Let Yong Kai break without attack." Li An still couldn't understand, Ling Hao had no choice but to go forward and explain: "Gao Ding and Yong Kai are Meng Huo's first line of defense in Nanzhong, so this strategy can win the hearts of the two. There was a rift and mutual suspicion. Gao Ding's subordinates took us to release the news that Yong Kai was going to take his head, but any ordinary person would have a precautionary heart. What we have to do is continue to spread rumors. It’s good for Yong Kai to turn against each other.” To put it bluntly, if Li An still doesn’t understand, then he has nothing to do.

Li An understood what he heard, and it took him a while to understand, but he still had a half-believing attitude, "All this is just speculation, how do General Ling and the military adviser know that they will definitely turn against each other?". "I have my own way, you just need to do what I tell you." Zhuge Liang didn't want to reveal too much in advance, his expression didn't change, but there was a trace of indisputability in his words.

"Since the emperor appoints Zhuge's military division to conquer the land of Nanzhong, he naturally trusts the military division very much. General Li and others are all serving the court. Everyone is on the same front. If the military division's strategy is useless, Li It will not be too late for the general to report to the emperor." Xu Linghao has always maintained a humble attitude, and Li An can only agree to this for the time being, "I hope that Zhuge military division will not disappoint the emperor."After dispersing everyone in the tent for the time being, Lu Bu didn't say a word the whole time. Seeing that there was no one around, Ling Hao sighed, "Why are you so unhappy? What's the matter?".Lu Bu raised his head and glanced at Zhuge Liang. He was a great general after all. In terms of status and status, he was higher than anyone else in the army. Why did he listen to Zhuge Liang's command?It was fine to ask him to lead the army to provoke before, but today he was asked to go to Yongchang again. With so many generals in the army, why should such a trivial matter be garrisoned in advance on him?Transferring him from the army and keeping Ling Hao in the army, he couldn't figure out what it meant.However, if Ling Hao disobeyed, no one would disobey Zhuge Liang. He was so obedient. Every time he thought about it, he felt very depressed.

"..." Ling Hao glanced at Lu Bu, and then at Zhuge Liang, so it was simply inexplicable what happened again. "Zixuan, come here." Zhuge Liang glanced at Lu Bu and said to Ling Hao.Ling Hao paused for a moment, then stepped forward in response, and as soon as he got to the seat of honor, Zhuge Liang reached out and clasped his hand, pulling him into his arms.Lu Bu was already in a depressed mood, and when he saw this, he clenched his fists tightly on the table.Ling Hao looked at Zhuge Liang and forced a smile, "Master..." This joke...don't make it so big.Zhuge Liang glanced at Lu Bu, and the corner of his mouth curved into a smile or provocation. Then, in front of Lu Bu, he opened Ling Hao's teeth and poked his long tongue in.Startled, Ling Hao tilted his head subconsciously, but Zhuge Liang was imprisoned tightly, unable to move at all.The anger in Lu Bu's heart was ignited in an instant, he slammed his fist on the table, and then directly lifted the table, resisting the urge to swear.Only then did Zhuge Liang let Ling Hao go slowly.It's - enough!Before Ling Hao recovered from Zhuge Liang's stimulation, he saw Lu Bu with a gloomy face, his whole head was enlarged, and he immediately stepped forward to open the distance between Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang.

"Even if you are a general, you must act under my command on this trip to Nanzhong." Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Bu coldly. "Well, it suddenly occurred to me that I still have something to tell you—or let's talk outside first." Ling Hao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he stretched out his hand to hold Lu Bu, while persuading him with good words. He pulled Lu Bu out of the tent.From Zhuge Liang's words, the two seem to have a quarrel because of their class?The soldiers guarding outside the tent had heard that there was a lot of movement inside the tent, but when they saw Ling Hao and Lu Bu with a fierce face coming out, they immediately fell silent.Ling Hao had no choice but to drag Lu Bu all the way to a secluded corner, but Lu Bu still had a frosty face, "You know... Master has always had this personality, is there something wrong with Master's assignment?".Zhuge Liang had always been cold-tempered. Lu Bu had never seen Zhuge Liang like this before, and he seemed to be in a bad mood today.

Just because it was Lv Bu who was on this trip, after all, Lv Bu was not the same kind of person as Zhao Yun. He was always used to being casual, and his dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang's assignment was obvious.Lu Bu doesn't like being restrained, let alone being executed on tasks that he considers dispensable. On the other hand, Zhuge Liang has always put military regulations first in the army. He assigns tasks and asks who to perform them. Reason, some reasons do not want to explain, which became the reason why these two people couldn't get along in the army.Ling Hao really didn't know how to solve this problem, "You got angry just now, probably more because of the master's actions." Sure enough, seeing Lu Bu's complexion changed a little bit. "Master wouldn't do this normally..." Ling Hao held Lu Bu's hand like a comforting animal, "As Marquis of Lu Wen, you naturally have an unusual status, which is exactly why the emperor sent you on this trip The reason. No one in the world knows the deeds of the parachutist Lu Bu, inside and outside the camp, no matter how big or small, why the master always sends you, isn't it because of the deterrent power of your name?".Therefore, there is no explanation for Zhuge Liang's temperament, this kind of reasoning, and only quick-minded and like-minded people can know what Zhuge Liang means by every step.

"Master doesn't need those people from the imperial court. One is because they are afraid that they will make mistakes and mess up the plan, leaving an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of. The other is that they are not deterrent enough to play a decisive role at the beginning of the battle. You played two rounds, two The game was a complete victory. When I first arrived in the southern border, I took the lead to capture E Huan alive and go to provoke. Now that Yong Kai and Gao Ding are captured, the enemy will naturally be short of breath. Think about it, I was already afraid of you. Every time you win Intensify their fear and at the same time make the enemy's momentum low, will they be defeated after a long time?" The voice was very soft, and Ling Hao patiently explained each sentence, seeing that the anger in Lu Bu's eagle eyes really dissipated some. "So the master has no other intentions. He is just looking for the fastest and most effective path, for the sake of the interests of the whole army, not to send you away. I have followed the master for so many years, and I know his character. In terms of political affairs, the master has always been very serious, and will not put private affairs and public affairs together." As for Zhuge Liang's actions just now, he should be able to understand that because Lu Bu did not obey the military order, he intentionally provoked Lu Bu as a punishment... Although Lu Bu is I really got angry, and even flipped the table... If I don't explain the reason for this, I guess my army will be messed up before the conquest of Nanzhong is finished.

"Okay, don't be angry." Ling Hao explained so much, and finally stretched out his hand to hook up the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, persuading him, and finally Lu Bu calmed down his evil spirit. "Can you stop always obeying Zhuge Liang's words?" Lu Bu grabbed Ling Hao's hand and frowned.Why is it getting involved in this matter again? Zhuge Liang is his master after all, so he naturally has to respect him as an apprentice, and even if he is not a master and apprentice, Zhuge Liang gives him the feeling that he cannot go against it. After so many years of habit, how can it be overnight? It can be changed. "After all, he is my master. Besides, there are so many people from the imperial court, so you can't let other people laugh at you? I know you don't like these rules and regulations, but you have a heavy responsibility on this trip, so you can only work harder, master. You also know your character...Be more considerate of the master." After all, Zhuge Liang's work is not easy, both of them work for the Han Dynasty, it is better to be harmonious.

Fortunately, when the two met the next day, nothing unpleasant happened. The night Lu Bu led the army to Yongchang, they caught the spies sent by Gao Ding to investigate.According to the plan, Zhuge Liang wanted Gao Ding and Yong Kai to fight among themselves in the army, so this matter was kept silent. Zhuge Liang knew that this person was Gao Ding's subordinate, but he deliberately identified him as Yong Kai's subordinate, and did not notify Li An and others. Let people prepare good wine and good food to entertain the spies.The spy was already flustered, seeing that Zhuge Liang seemed to have admitted the wrong person, he didn't react at first, and then saw another person came in from the tent, "Since your coach agreed to present the heads of Zhu Bao and Gao Ding to me, why did you miss the date again?" ?”, the spies were dumbfounded when they heard the words.Ling Hao coughed, then stepped forward, and said in Zhuge Liang's ear, "Master, Li An wants to write a book to report to Han Xiandi, do you think it's necessary..." "Let him go, if Han Xiandi wrote a letter because of him Just change your mind, I think that even if the Han Dynasty is unified, it won’t last long.”, I have no scruples, if this kind of words are heard by those in the court, I’m afraid they will directly sue Zhuge Liang for disobedience to the current emperor.Seeing that Zhuge Liang looked at the spies sitting down again, Ling Hao retreated behind Zhuge Liang again.

"Why didn't you answer?", the spy faltered, how could he answer, he didn't know what Zhuge Liang was talking about... "You are so clumsy, why would Yong Kai assign you to be a spy?", the tone was heavy After a while, Ling Hao was so far away that he saw the spy's expression was extremely innocent but also bitter.Indeed... such a person really can't do delicate work, who knows if Zhuge Liang's deliberate temptation today can fall into this person's ears, just in case, Zhuge Liang wrote a letter himself. "You take this letter to Yong Kai, let him start early, don't delay the opportunity." The spy Nuonuo received the letter, the food and drink did not move, as soon as he heard that he could leave, he turned around and left after bowing to Zhuge Liang. Anyone is fast.Ling Hao really couldn't help it, why Zhuge Liang could use such a serious and serious expression to deceive such an innocent spy who didn't know anything about the situation, and his acting skills were really impeccable, if he didn't know it in advance, he would not have expected Zhuge Liang It's just a show. "In less than three days, Gao Dingding will take Yong Kai's head and present it to me. As for Zhu Bao, according to the master's intention, Gao Ding must also take care of it?" Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, looking at the wine cup in front of him as if Thinking about something, Ling Hao didn't make a sound.It took a while before Zhuge Liang said, "The first checkpoint has been opened, and the next step is going to be a lot trickier. Zixuan, you are ready for the expedition. Whether this trip can be successful or not depends on you and Lu Bu.".

Ling Hao immediately bowed his head when he heard the words, "Yes, Zixuan understands.".
