    After hearing this, Lin Nan frowned and said to Sima Yi: "Keep talking!"

    "I obey the order!" Sima Yi kowtowed, "I think that good ministers choose their masters. Everyone can see that Liu Bei's situation is over. Zhuge Liang is a wise man, so how can he not see it? The former Feng Chu left the Han Dynasty and entered the country.  Wei, now he has led the Wei army to conquer half of the Shu Han country, isn't it just for a place where he can display his talents? Zhuge Liang is known as Wolong and is as famous as Feng Chu, so he can naturally understand the details. Therefore, I believe that Zhuge Liang  The purpose of negotiating the conditions with the emperor this time is very clear, that is, I want to have a larger platform to display my talents¦æ"

    "You mean, is it true that Zhuge Liang took refuge in me?" After hearing this, Lin Nan felt that it made sense, but once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of the rope for ten years.  Last time he almost lost his life for a Jushu, this time another Zhuge Liang came, how could he not be cautious?

    Youdao is not afraid that gangsters can learn martial arts, but is afraid that gangsters are educated. Compared with those first-class generals who have superior force, the lethality of wise men is obviously much higher than that of generals.  No matter how superb a military commander is, he is still fighting alone, and it is relatively simple to capture him.

    But a wise man hides in the dark. You can't see him, but he can see you, and the means of dealing with you are also hard for you to guard against. He will not rush out to fight for you alone like a general, but will hide behind you.  Thousands of people are using their ingenuity to play tricks on you behind your back. It will be easy to deal with you after you are dizzy and exhausted.

    Therefore, when dealing with resourceful people, Lin Nan needs to be careful and careful again and again, if one is not careful.  What could be lost is tens of thousands of lives.  The Battle of Chibi in history is a lesson for Lin Nan. He must keep a cool head and guard against arrogance and impetuosity in order to remain invincible.

    Sima Yi said: "At least for now, I can't see that Zhuge Liang has any intrigues. Moreover, his first requirement is to join the Senate and regard himself as prime minister. Not all surrendered generals have the courage to propose this."  Zhuge Liang is smart. He is good at judging the situation and knows when to surrender and when to fight. If he surrenders now, he still has the leverage to wait until he is defeated by our army.  , How can he make the same request again?"

    After hearing what Sima Yi said, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing and said: "Very good, your thinking is different from those of the Privy Council officers. Although Guo Fengxiao also holds different opinions, he may not be able to analyze it with you.  So thorough. I am impressed by how well you understand Zhuge Liang. I heard that you have been purchasing confidential information from the Intelligence Department?"

    Sima Yi was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground.  He kowtowed several times and shouted loudly: "I am guilty! I deserve to die for my crime! Even if I die, I cannot absolve myself of the blame! I"

    "Okay, okay, you should get up too. I didn't say I wanted to punish you? The Intelligence Department belongs directly to me, and all information is collected to me. Do you think you can bribe Lin Chu with just your salary?  ? Don't forget, Lin Chu is Bian Xi's deputy, who was promoted by Bian Xi and taught by Bian Xi himself. The selection of personnel in the Intelligence Department has always been extremely strict, so every intelligence officer is loyal to me.  Geng Geng.¡±

    Sima Yi asked suspiciously: "Then why is Minister Lin still willing to sell information to me? Could it be that all this is the emperor's will?"

    Lin Chu was the minister of the Ministry of Intelligence and Bian Xi's second-in-command. He had no final members in You Beiping. When Lin Nan sent troops to attack Yuan Shao, he replaced the injured Bian Xi as an envoy to Jin. He successfully led Lu Bu to Jizhou and joined forces with Lin Nan.  Cooperate to attack Yecheng.  Later, in the scout system, he repeatedly performed outstanding achievements. During the two years when Bian Xi was lurking in the Wei State, he was responsible for all the scouts. Therefore, after the founding of the Huaxia Kingdom, Lin Chu was awarded the title of Minister of Intelligence for his meritorious service.  Minister, the third rank official.

    In fact, the acquaintance between Sima Yi and Lin Chu was also an accident. Sima Yi was still young at that time. When he was playing in Jicheng, he accidentally bumped into Lin Chu who was helpless. After asking about the cause of the matter, he helped Lin Chu.  An idea helped Lin Chu solve the problem.  From then on, the two became friends year after year.

    When Sima Yi became the prefect of Langya, because Langya was located in the east of the Huaxia Kingdom, the Qingzhou and Xuzhou areas were relatively stable, and Sima Yi also wanted to know some national affairs, so he used this relationship.

    At this time, Sima Yi suddenly heard Lin Nan talking about this matter, and Sima Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He thought he could infiltrate the Intelligence Department, but he didn't know that Lin Nan had arranged all this.

    "Haha, now that you know it, I don't plan to hide it from you anymore. During the two years when you became the magistrate of Langya, all the information Lin Chu gave you was authorized by me. I'm afraid that you are ignorant and ignorant.  , noIt's about the current situation, that's all.  Get up now. The ground is cold. Kneeling for a long time is bad for your knees.  "

    Sima Yi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, thinking that this emperor was really terrible.

    Lin Nan glanced sideways at Sima Yi. After seeing Sima Yi's worried expression, he sneered in his heart and thought to himself: "You are the best person in history who knows how to hide your strength and bide your time, and you are extremely ambitious. If I don't guard you,  , then am I making a wedding dress for you? Fortunately, your performance did not disappoint me. This time, I want to remind you, don¡¯t think that you are really unaware of what you did.  , I¡¯m clear.¡±

    In Lin Nan¡¯s heart, he must both use and guard against Sima Yi. He must have a good grasp of the scale, otherwise, trouble may easily occur.  Hitting you with a mallet and giving you a candy is the most suitable method to deal with Sima Yi.  Among his ministers, the only one he was wary of was Sima Yi, because Sima Yi was a famous careerist in history and he had to be wary of him.

    Therefore, Lin Nan has always had spies around Sima Yi to monitor Sima Yi at all times.  Of course, Sima Yi didn't know all this, and he was always kept in the dark.

    After Sima Yi stood up, Lin Nan took out an imperial edict from his arms, held it up in front of Sima Yi, and said loudly: "Sima Yi accepts the decree!"

    "Sima Yi, my military advisor and general, kneel down and listen to the imperial edict!" Sima Yi just stood up, and then he knelt down again.  Lin Nan's words just now made him feel that Lin Nan was scary. Lin Nan was very smart. He was so smart that he didn't dare to have any evil thoughts. This time, he suddenly gave him an imperial edict, which made his heart pound.  .

    "From today on, I will appoint you as the General of the Conquest of the South. I will allocate you 50,000 horse infantry troops to take the route of Jiangxia and detour between Xiangyang and Jiangling City, and then capture a city and cut off all connections between Xiangyang and Jiangling."

    Sima Yi was so flattered that he suddenly gave him an official position and made him command the troops. What an honor it was.  He hurriedly thanked me and said, "Your Majesty, Sima Yi, has received the order to express my gratitude!"

    "Well, get up. If you go deep behind enemy lines, you will definitely be in danger. For this reason, I specially sent Zhang He, Chen Dao, Wenpin, and Jia Kui to your account. You will be named the Great General of the Southern Conqueror.  Above all, all military actions are yours. In addition, I will send Privy Council Commander Guo Jia to serve as supervisor and military advisor. You must discuss this sooner or later." Lin Nan continued.

    "I obey the order. What about Zhuge Liang's surrender?"

    "I have my own opinion on this matter and cannot be led by Zhuge Liang. In addition, Gan Ning's 50,000 navy troops are about to arrive at Jiangling. I will send an order to him to let him fight side by side with you and cut off with 100,000 troops.  All the connections between Jiangling and Xiangyang City put pressure on Zhuge Liang!¡±

    "I understand."

    At this time, Zhang Zhongjing came in from the outside with Lu Heng, and Lin Nan sent Sima Yi away and asked him to gather all the troops and horses to go on the expedition.

    "I will see you, Your Majesty." Zhang Zhongjing and Lu Heng paid their respects together.

    Lin Nan asked: "Is it because the poison that causes amnesia has never been developed?"

    Zhang Zhongjing looked ashamed.  He sighed and said: "Your Majesty, this medicine is too difficult to develop. I am beyond my ability. I have made the medicine dozens of times, but never succeeded."

    Lin Nan said: "That's all, it's fine if you don't refine this medicine. Anyway, the purpose of dividing Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei has been achieved. If you refine such a medicine again, it will be of no use."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Nan turned to Lu Heng and said: "You have tried the medicine so many times without success, so you should have realized something, right? Maybe I am too fanciful, because there is no such medicine in the world. If you  If you really want to change your mind and start over, just listen to me, forget everything in the past, and start from scratch.¡±

    Lu Heng sighed heavily and said: "The guilty minister has no shame to stand in the world anymore"

    "You are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of living?" Lin Nan roared.

    Lu Heng did not answer, but looked frustrated.

    "I have decided to give you the national surname. From now on, you will be called Lin Heng, and you will continue to serve as your guard, guarding the palace and protecting the capital. Lu Heng is dead." Lin Nandao.

    Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly said to Lu Heng: "Why don't you quickly thank your Majesty for your kindness?"

    Lu Heng burst into tears with gratitude. He immediately knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty is so kind to me. I will never be repaid if I die. From now on, there will be no Lu Heng in this world, only Lin Heng."

    Lin Nan helped Lin Heng up personally, patted Lin Heng's shoulder, and said: "You and I have been through life and death for many years, and there is only so much I can do for you. The capital still needs your garrison, so you can return to Luoyang.  Assist Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Gai Xun, and Zhong Yao to jointly guard the important areas in Gyeonggi Province.?¡±

    So, Lin Heng said goodbye to Lin Nan and embarked on the road back to Gyeonggi.

    After Lin Heng left, Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is the time to employ people. General Lin is also a good general. Why did you drive him back to the capital?"

    "There are many talents here, and there are countless outstanding talents. He has lost the stage to perform, so it is better to let him go back to defend the capital for the time being. Lin Heng's offensive is insufficient, but the defense is very tight. If necessary, troops can be sent from Luoyang to assist Xu Huang  ." Lin Nan said slowly, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

    Although Zhang Zhongjing is not interested in military affairs and strategy, his many years of medical career have made him very good at capturing people's hearts. After listening to Lin Nan's words, he vaguely felt that Lin Nan was thinking about something again, otherwise  There won't be that faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

    He took out a small bottle of medicine from his arms, held it up in front of Lin Nan, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the distortion powder that I successfully refined. Only a tiny amount of powder is enough to make a person lose his memory.  Specially presented to the Emperor, please take a look at it.¡±

    "DistortionDistortion Powder" Lin Nan was surprised for a while, because he thought that Zhang Zhongjing couldn't refine this amnesia-inducing poison, but he didn't expect that this old boy actually refined this kind of medicine.

    He took the Distortion Powder in his hand in surprise, looked at it, and asked: "Is it really so magical? Why didn't you give it to Lin Heng?"

    "I know that Your Majesty cares about General Lin very much, so I have never dared to let him actually test the medicine. Instead, I did the test on two prisoners, and the results were very successful. The two prisoners didn't even know who they were.  I feel that if these medicines are mixed in the meals and given to the prisoners, they will be sure to forget who they are, and it will also save them a lot of trouble. Your Majesty can easily send people to do ideological work for the more than 20,000 prisoners.  They become soldiers of the Huaxia Kingdom," Zhang Zhongjing suggested.

    "It's a good ideabut the name is confusing and confusingif you don't know, you might think you've lost your virginity, so it would be better to change your name"

    "Your Majesty, please name me!"

    Lin Nan thought for a while and then said: "Then let's call it Wangyou Powder. Losing memory means a new beginning, and the previous sorrows will be forgotten. It is more appropriate to call it Wangyou Powder."

    "What a good name. From now on, the name of this new medicine will be Wangyou San. Your Majesty, I will refine it more quickly, otherwise more than 20,000 people will lose their memory at the same time, and this medicine will have no effect at all."

    Lin Nan nodded and said, "Go ahead."

    Three days later, Lin Nan ordered the new drug Wangyou Powder that Zhang Zhongjing successfully refined to be put in the meals of more than 20,000 prisoners. As a result, within an hour, more than 20,000 prisoners suffered collective amnesia.  That scene was truly spectacular.

    but.  Fortunately, Lin Nan had already prepared for each prisoner to be surrounded by a Huaxia soldier. When the prisoners collectively lost their memory, the Huaxia soldiers used carefully crafted lies as a deception to give these prisoners a  New name, that's it.  More than 20,000 people were equivalent to having a new identity, and they naturally became soldiers of the Huaxia Kingdom.

    Although this trick is somewhat destructive, it is the most practical.

    Of course, this is only for soldiers, and the captured generals did not receive such unfair treatment.  Lin Nan sent Jiang Gan to do ideological work every day, and provided him with delicious food and drink. He also told the story about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which gradually shook the hearts of Huo Jun, Lu Chang, Dong He, and Wang Fu. Because of this  The four of them were all promoted by Guan Yu, and they were considered Guan Yu's old subordinates. When they heard that Guan Yu was shot and killed mercilessly on Liu Bei's order, they were shocked.

    Finally, after three days of hard work, Jiang Gan finally succeeded in convincing Huo Jun, Lu Chang, Dong He, and Wang Fu to submit.

    During the past three days, Lin Nan and Zhuge Liang also negotiated secretly. Through Bian Xi, they finally decided that at dusk tomorrow, they would each take a small boat and glide to the center of the river to prepare for the meeting.  Take anyone else with you.

    During the past few days, the people and ministers in Xiangyang City were living under white terror. Liu Bei went crazy and killed people randomly. For some unknown reason, he often dreamed at night that some people came to demand his life.  On the night of the third day, he unexpectedly dreamed of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei coming to kill him with knives.

    When he woke up from his dream, he vaguely saw two people sneaking outside the door. He listened closely and heard that his guard was having an affair with the palace maid. In a rage, he personally killed the guard and the palace maid with a long sword.  .

    Having no sleep that night, Liu Bei looked in the mirror and was shocked to see that his face was haggard and he had lost a lot of weight.  As soon as the third watch came, Liu Bei ordered to convene all ministers for a meeting, and all the guards and soldiers were summoned.After sending out, each village chief took a team of people to personally go to the ministers' homes to greet the ministers.

    In the middle of the night, all the ministers were sleeping at home. Suddenly they heard the sound of horse hooves and chaotic voices outside the door. Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the mansion, as if calling for life and soul.

    As soon as the servant opened the door, a wave of guards broke into the minister's house and took away all the ministers who were still lying on the bed. Unfortunately, it was freezing cold, and the ministers were all still wearing thin clothes. They were taken away for a while.  After leaving, each one of them curled up like an abandoned stray dog.

    At this time, the lights in the palace were brightly lit, and the guards, eunuchs, and maids were all awakened from their dreams. Wherever they stood during the day, and where they are still standing now, a group of people, at midnight, in the cold weather, all  Stand straight.  The cold wind was blowing, the winter snow was falling, and a group of people were sneezing one after another.

    In the main hall where he usually went to morning court, Liu Bei was sitting there, neatly dressed. Huge fires were lit at the four corners of the main hall, illuminating the main hall as if it were daytime. It was extremely cold outside the hall.  The hall was as warm as spring.

    After a while, the ministers were all brought into the hall by the guards. They were all disheveled and looked like ministers.  Including the new Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, he was also picked up in the middle of the night when the Guards broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion.  He was taken aback, thinking something unexpected had happened, but he was relieved when he found out that it was Liu Bei who was calling his ministers at night.

    "I see you, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor!" The ministers headed by Zhuge Liang paid homage to Lin Nan who was sitting on the Dragon Throne.

    "Look at you. The soldiers are all waiting for danger, but you are enjoying peace and quiet in the city. Now the enemy army has arrived. You have no sense of precaution at all. What if the Chinese army comes and breaks into you?  In your family, wouldn¡¯t anyone know if your heads were harvested?" Liu Bei said angrily.

    The ministers were silent, and Zhuge Liang couldn't figure out what Liu Bei was going to do and why he suddenly called the ministers at night.

    "From today on, all ministers must live in the palace. I will have something to do sooner or later. I can call you for discussion at any time. The whole city is under martial law. No one can leave the city without my order!" After Liu Bei finished saying this.  Then he walked away.

    Zhuge Liang was stunned, wondering what happened to Liu Bei. In this way, his plan was completely ruined.

    The ministers were then taken to their respective rooms by the Guards, where they were given bedding and food and drink.  Each person had a room, and guards stood guard outside the door, almost completely isolating the officials.

    Zhuge Liang was no exception. He was taken to a room and he was restless.  Not knowing what was going on, he opened the door and shouted to the guard outside the door: "Invite your general to come over. I have something to say to him."

    "Prime Minister, I'm really sorry, but General Tian has been sent out of the city by the emperor."

    "What about General Yan?" Zhuge Liang asked hurriedly.

    "I also went out with General Tian."

    Zhuge Liang thought about it secretly: "Impossible. I have always acted very strictly and there is absolutely no way that any secrets could be leaked. At this time, the emperor sent Tian Yu and Yan Yan out of the city and put all the ministers under house arrest. What is his intention?"  for?"

    After thinking for a while, Zhuge Liang couldn't figure it out, so he said to the guard outside the door: "I want to see the emperor!"

    "Your Majesty Prime Minister, the Emperor doesn't see anyone right now. Your Majesty Prime Minister, I'm really sorry. This is the Emperor's order, and we just have to obey it. It's still early before dawn, so the Prime Minister should go to sleep first and wait until dawn.  Please call me adults later.¡±

    Zhuge Liang was completely confused. In this way, his plan was completely ruined.  He murmured in his heart: "What on earth happened?"

    The sky was dimming, and since Zhuge Liang was imprisoned here, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear. According to his plan, Liu Bei should enjoy himself in the palace, and then he went out to plan everything.  However, it has been completely broken now. Has Liu Bei seen through his plan?

    "ImpossibleI have always acted carefully. Only my brother and I know about this matter. There will definitely be no leaks. However, the emperor's behavior today is too abnormal. If I can't rush to the Han River to meet Lin Nan at dusk  , then all plans will come to nothing.¡±

    Zhuge Liang thought hard. Ever since Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were captured, Liu Bei has changed. The sanctimonious character he used to have no longer exists. Now he kills anyone who doesn't like him. He has transformed into a bully.  Kill innocent tyrants.

    He couldn¡¯t understand what Guan Yu and Zhang Fei represented to Liu Bei, let alone the friendship between them. Therefore, he couldn¡¯t see through what Liu Bei was thinking.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?At that moment, the door outside suddenly opened. Wei Wei Mi Fang walked in from the outside, bowed to Zhuge Liang, and then said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I have not seen you for a long time. Your Majesty has summoned you."

    Zhuge Liang was only wearing close-fitting clothes. It was freezing outside at this time. If he went out like this, he would definitely get cold.

    Mi Fang was already prepared and had someone bring in an official uniform, which was exactly what Zhuge Liang usually wore.  After handing it over to Zhuge Liang, Mi Fang worshiped again: "Prime Minister, please!"

    After Zhuge Liang put on his official uniform, he tidied up his appearance a little before going out.  He followed Mi Fang without asking anything, just followed quietly, because too much words lead to mistakes, and he would not speak easily until he understood what Liu Bei was crazy about.

    After a while, Mi Fang and Zhuge Liang came to the main hall. Except for Liu Bei, there was no one else in the main hall.  Mi Fang resigned first before leaving the main hall.  The palace door was closed from the outside.

    "My lord Zhuge Liang, I bow to the emperor, long live my emperor!" Zhuge Liang knelt on the ground and saluted Liu Bei.

    Liu Bei was speechless. He stood up from the dragon chair and walked straight to Zhuge Liang.  After stopping, he circled around Zhuge Liang and sneered: "Prime Minister, I treat you well, don't I?"

    "The emperor treats his ministers with great kindness!"

    "In the past, Mr. Shui Jing once said to me, Wolong and Phoenix, one of them can bring peace to the world. He called me by name and said that you are Wolong. After I knew it, I immediately entrusted the power of the country to you, Wolong, Wolong.  , almost half a month has passed, and you are always lying like this, when will you be able to soar into the sky? "

    "I am ignorant and don't know what the emperor means?"

    Liu Bei suddenly squatted down, stretched out his hand and lifted Zhuge Liang's head down, and looked at it carefully.  He made a tut-tutting sound in his mouth and said: "You are quite good-looking. But why don't you deal with personnel affairs? Since I gave you the power, you have not made any achievements. Before, you performed outstandingly in the Battle of Wancheng.  where it goes?"

    Zhuge Liang was very unhappy. A wise man should be killed but not humiliated. This time he felt that Liu Bei had humiliated him.  but.  He endured a moment of anger in exchange for a lifetime of peace. He endured this tone.  Besides, Liu Bei is with him.  There is indeed a favor. Ever since they followed Liu Bei in Xia Qiu, their Zhuge clan has been working for Liu Bei. First it was Zhuge Jin, and now it is his turn. After running in front and behind for these years, this favor should be repaid.

    Besides, he also heard from his brother that when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were drinking in Jingnan, they suddenly mentioned the past when they were drinking heavily. Zhuge Jin was by his side, so he naturally understood it clearly.  It turns out that when Liu Bei was defeated from Xuzhou and passed by Langya, he was not going to save the Zhuge family at all. Instead, he was passing by where thieves blocked his way and accidentally saved the Zhuge family. At that time, in order to escape for his life, Liu Bei  If you can't take care of yourself, how can you save others?

    It was Zhuge who mistakenly thought that Liu Bei was the person who came to save them, and worshiped Liu Bei as a benefactor.  This misunderstanding is really deep.

    Since Zhuge Liang knew the truth of the matter, his original gratitude to Liu Bei disappeared. When he became deeply aware of the current situation of Jinghan and the powerful military of China, he had already made a choice in his heart.  A good minister chooses his master. Before everyone meets a master, he is constantly groping. Once he meets a master who appreciates him and allows him to develop his talents, he will persevere and follow him.

    Before Zhuge Liang became an official, he and Pang Tong were both disciples of Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui. The two of them, one dragon and one phoenix, competed with each other. If Feng Chu had achieved success, he would lead the Western Wei army to attack Western Shu.  As for him, apart from being famous in the Battle of Wancheng, he had no great achievements.

    So, after much thought, he decided to join forces with his brothers to launch a coup, using Liu Bei's blood in exchange for peace in Jingzhou. Therefore, he retreated from the beginning, leaving only two isolated cities.  Then, he strongly recommended Zhuge Jin to become the governor of Jingnan and command one hundred thousand troops in Jiangling. In this way, Zhuge Jin became the actual person in power.

    Then he instigated the relationship between Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and prevented Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from coming back, so as not to ruin his big event, and then used the relationship between Zhuge Jin and Sima Lang to make reasonable negotiations with the Huaxia Kingdom.

    Everything went so smoothly, including the navy commander He Xia, who was secretly attracted by him. When Xu Shao died, he became the prime minister, truly one person inferior to ten thousand people.  But he knew very well that such days would not last long. Under the attack of Huaxia and Wu, even if Jinghan blocked the first wave of offensive, he would be completely in dire straits. By then, the national power would inevitably decline, and it would be even worse in the future.  Will be at the mercy of others.

    However, all this was disrupted by a dream of Liu Bei's.Bei lost the two backbones of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and he seemed to be going crazy. First he massacred the ministers, and now he imprisoned the ministers, which disrupted Zhuge Liang's plan.

    At this time, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Liu Bei complaining that he was not trying his best enough and had not accomplished anything. Only then did he realize that Liu Bei was not aware of her sinister intentions.  So, he had an idea and said: "To report to the emperor, I have actually been planning an earth-shattering plan. If this plan succeeds, our army will not only be able to survive this crisis, but also recover the entire lost land of Jingzhou."

    After hearing this, Liu Bei asked: "Speak!"

    "I obey the order." So, Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei that he was planning to surrender to Lin Nan and negotiated bargaining chips.  but.  When speaking, of course Zhuge Liang would not say that this was his original intention, but that he would pretend to surrender, first gain Lin Nan's trust, and then ask the Chinese army to suspend military operations so that they could allocate troops to deal with Soochow.  Defeat them one by one.

    After hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly felt a rush of blood and said, "This is a wonderful plan! Why didn't you explain it to me before?"

    "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have no choice but to do this. The Huaxia Kingdom definitely has spies stationed in our country. If I informed the Emperor in advance, the Emperor would definitely have some scruples. If we distinguish the fake and the real in detail,  . It can still be distinguished. Therefore, I plan to inform the emperor of the matter after gaining Lin Nan's trust. At that time, the emperor can personally lead the army south to fight against Soochow, and no longer worry about what is behind him.  The Chinese army is here.¡±

    "If this plan can succeed, you will have made a great contribution. Prime Minister, feel free to do it, I will support you. I will send people to transfer Tian Yu and Yan Yan back, and continue to let He Xia take charge.  The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy will inevitably spoil the Prime Minister¡¯s affairs.¡±

    Zhuge Liang said happily: "This is the best."

    Afterwards, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang away and asked Zhuge Liang to complete what he should complete.  After Zhuge Liang left, Liu Bei's charming smile suddenly turned gloomy.  Turning his face, he said loudly: "Come out."

    As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black shadow floating down from the pillars of the hall, and a masked man in black stood beside Liu Bei.

    Liu Bei looked at the man in black, but he didn't recognize him.  You can just see those deep eyes, like a bottomless black hole, but they exude a unique charm.

    "Your Majesty, should you believe what I say now?" The man in black said first.

    "If what you say is true, I will naturally not sit idly by. How can I give up the country that I have worked so hard to gain to others? I will defend this country to the death, and no one can take it away.  Let's go. But, I'm curious, how did you know that Zhuge Liang would betray me?" Liu Bei looked at the man in black again, but he didn't find any familiar figure at all. He was a complete stranger, so strange to this man in black.  Once he left, he could no longer remember who he was.

    "You don't need to know this. In short, the Han Kingdom is in danger now. China is in the north and Soochow is in the south. They are attacking from both sides. If this delicate relationship is not properly handled, the Han Kingdom will collapse in an instant. The soldiers of Soochow are all from the conquest.  Shi Xie was transferred back from the Yue Kingdom, so the soldiers will look very tired. If half a month has passed and there has been no military action, it means that Soochow will not launch an attack for the time being, but is recuperating. At the latest, it will have to wait until  It¡¯s spring next year, so please don¡¯t worry about Soochow and just focus on dealing with China.¡±

    "Why are you telling me these things? Who are you and what is your purpose in telling me?" Liu Bei said more and more suspiciously.

    "Haha, I'm here to help you. Zhuge Liang is bound to launch a coup. If the emperor doesn't make preparations as soon as possible, I'm afraid he will be slaughtered by others. I have said what I should say, and there is no need to stay here.  Goodbye."

    "boom!"

    Mi Fang led the guards and broke in from the outside. Liu Bei retreated to Mi Fang in time. One hundred crossbowmen kept aiming at the man in black and fired fiercely at the man in black.

    However, before the crossbow arrow could hit, the man in black turned around and hid behind a pillar. Later, while the crossbowman was loading arrows, a kite turned over and jumped out of the window, rolling on the ground.  After that, with a tap of his feet, his body stood lightly on the palace wall that was more than ten feet high.

    "Haha, Liu Xuande is really ruthless. I came to help you, but you wanted my life. However, what I said is the truth. China is your number one enemy. Soochow is just fishing in troubled waters to get a share of the pie.  As long as you defeat the Huaxia Kingdom, the Soochow army will naturally retreat without a fight!"

    The man in black disappeared without a trace as soon as he rose and fell.?

    "Chase!" Mi Fang shouted, leading the others to chase him.

    Liu Bei stopped him and said, "There is no need to chase him. This person can easily enter and leave the heavily guarded palace. Even if you catch up, you will not be a match."

    Mi Fang said: "Your Majesty, are you going to let him go like this? Is there any other Zhuge Liang? I will catch him immediately and kill him to avoid future troubles."

    "Don't scare the snake. Whatever Zhuge Kongming wants to do, let him do it. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Now that I know this, I won't sit idly by. You immediately secretly send an order to Tian Yu and let him do it.  He replaced He Hua and became the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and asked Yan Yan to come back. I have important arrangements! "

    "I obey!"

    After Mi Fang left, Liu Bei also secretly wondered who this man in black was.  But no matter how he thinks about it, he can be sure that he is definitely not from the Huaxia Kingdom, because the Huaxia Kingdom will never shoot himself in the foot at this time.  Moreover, he was also thinking about how to deal with Fang Geliang's upcoming rebellion and how many people were with Zhuge Liang.

    Later, he called four people, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, and Yi Ji, for discussion. When the four close ministers heard the news that Zhuge Liang would rebel, they were all shocked. They did not expect that someone Liu Bei valued so much would secretly rebel.  .  Everyone then brainstormed and prepared to formulate a preliminary plan.

    The man in black appeared after Liu Bei woke up from his sleep. He discovered that his guard was having an affair with the palace maid. After he immediately killed him, he saw a man in black running in. After a fight, Liu Bei lost to the man in black.  The man was actually subdued by the man in black, but the man in black had no ill intentions. Instead, he let Liu Bei go and informed Liu Bei about Zhuge Liang.

    After hearing this, Liu Bei issued the order and summoned his ministers overnight. At first he remained calm, and then he repeated Zhuge Liang's words bit by bit.

    At this time, after the man in black left the palace, he was afraid of being chased by soldiers, so he hid in a corner for a while. After finding that there were no pursuers, he took off his black clothes, revealing the Han soldiers who were already wearing them.  Dressed in the uniform of a Guards Colonel, he walked out of the palace in a swaggering manner.

    When the man in black was fighting with Liu Bei last night, he stole Liu Bei's jade pendant and used it to deceive the city gatekeeper.  After leaving the city, the man in black ran straight to a small forest twenty miles southeast of the city. Several people were already waiting there. When they saw the man in black coming, they gathered around and worshiped:  "I'm going to pay homage to Your Majesty!"

    "No need to be so formal here." The man in black got off his horse and said very kindly.

    "Your Majesty, how are things going?" the burly man asked.

    "If, as Gong Jin expected, Zhuge Liang does have a conspiracy, I have already told Liu Bei about it. Liu Bei will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. Now, China and Han will have to go to war for real." Hei  The man in the clothes was none other than Sun Ce, the emperor of Wu State, known as the Little Overlord, "Youping, the matter here is over, it's time for us to leave."

    "No!" The burly man was Zhou Tai, "Your Majesty, the Han Kingdom has an sworn hatred against us. Isn't it too much for us to help the Han Kingdom like this Although the governor's strategy is good, after all, the Huaxia Kingdom is the  Our allies"

    Sun Ce said: "Youping, you must always remember one sentence, there are no permanent enemies, no permanent friends, only interests. If Gong Jin had not seen through Zhuge Liang's mind, once Zhuge Liang and Lin Nan negotiated and reached a consensus, then  Our plan to occupy the entire Jingzhou will come to naught. Although Liu Bei is my father-killing enemy, for the sake of the future of Wu, let¡¯s let him live a little longer. Let¡¯s go and return to Jiangling quickly. Now Gan Ning¡¯s navy has arrived.  Jiangling, the war between Huaxia and Han is coming, and we must make arrangements."
