Until Chen Xi returned, Chen Lan did not mention the matter. If Cai Yan's marriage to Chen Xi was a natural disaster for Fan Jian, for Chen Lan, it was just the same thing at best. Compared to Fan Jian, it was a natural disaster. Thinking about it a bit, Chen Lan is actually more stable. "It doesn't matter whether it's Traditional Jane or Cai Zhaoji, there is actually no difference to Chen Lan. Therefore, even if Chen Lan guessed the truth, she pretended to know nothing. She could only secretly lament in her heart that the two sisters of the Cai family were so courageous that they had nothing to say. Chen Xi naturally didn't notice what Chen Lan was thinking. After all, Chen Lan's movements and behavior basically didn't change at all. What's more, Chen Lan himself is a guy who is very good at hiding things. Congling, Zhuge Liang¡¯s residence, compared to Chang¡¯an, which has not yet received Guo Jia¡¯s second secret attack letter, Congling has already received several letters related to the situation. There are secret letters from Chen Xun and Sima, as well as the last secret letter sent by Guo Jia to Chang'an and Congling, especially the latter one, which simply established the current overall situation of Guishang. "Send troops." After Chen Gong was summoned urgently, he said immediately after reading the contents of Guo Jia's secret letter. On the Congling side, we had received orders from Chang'an more than two months ago to prepare to go south and start a war with Guishang. Because of this order, Congling has recruited tens of thousands of auxiliary troops from the countries in the Western Regions. Although armor weapons have not been delivered due to some reasons, and the construction of forward military bases, smelters, etc. have not been completed, they are generally cannon fodder. A large crowd has gathered. "Although the difficulty is very high, since Military Advisor Guo and General Guan have already raided Peshawar, the current road into Kushan is definitely in turmoil. It can be said that this is one of the few opportunities for us to enter the interior of Kushan." Sima Yi also expressed his expression. He spoke excitedly. "I know this." Zhuge Liang nodded silently, looking at the terrain map of the high mountains and ridges in the south of Congling that had been prepared in front of him, and then at the Kabul Valley that could be accessed after going around from An'an, and felt in his heart I have some thoughts below. "What else is there to think about? Guishang must be in turmoil now because of the impact of Guo Fengxiao and Guan Yunchang. If we start now, we may even capture Peshawar in one fell swoop." Sima Yi looked at Zhuge Liang with some dissatisfaction and said. "I'm wondering how the three of you will start." Zhuge Liang said slowly, "Arrange the troops to fight. Any one of the three of us here is the military advisor. The generals currently in Congling can do it if you choose any one. When it comes to feinting to attract attention, this kind of thing is very simple." Sima Yi's face darkened when he heard this, "Based on my understanding of our family and those two families over the years, if they are really unscrupulous, what will happen next. If such a big thing happened, they would not hesitate to take advantage of the chaos to kill the emperor! " "The question now is whether they succeeded or not!" Chen Gong also looked hesitant. After all, the answer to this matter really depends on their next step. choose. However, not long after Zhuge Liang asked this question, Chen Zhong's urgent secret report had been sent to Congling and Chang'an. The attack failed. Vesutiva I was taken away by Zhu Helai, and all the Central Guards were severely damaged. The entire country A state of emergency martial law has been entered. "Report, the south is urgently reporting." A messenger rushed in with a secret message. "It seems that there is news." Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "I hope it's not too bad news." After Sima Yi took the secret letter, he opened it directly, and his face darkened immediately after reading the opening chapter. "The emperor failed, but they have declared that Vesutiva I is dead in the entire Kushan. They are instigating people to establish a new emperor, and secretly they have contacted a group of people to build their own mountains, turning the entire Kushan into a warlord-lined one. situation." Sima Yi said after putting down the secret letter. "What's the situation in the Kabul Valley in the north?" Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong also felt their hearts sinking after hearing this, but then they adjusted their mentality. Although they did not complete the plan to kill the emperor, they could still make the Kushan Mountains stand tall. "The situation is not good. Although the Chen family has taken over the position of Archbishop of the Zoroastrian sect, it has not penetrated enough into the north. Moreover, after the Peshawar riots, the entire north is not allowed to enter, and no one is allowed to leave. Martial law." Sima Yi sighed. "It seems right. The northern part of Kushan, that is, the foundation of the Great Yuezhi, should have had a way to deal with this early on. Or rather, they did it on the day when a certain emperor of Kushan moved the capital to Peshawar. You are ready for today." Chen Gong said with emotion. "Indeed, it would be strange for a person who can make such an arrangement not to leave such an arrangement behind." Zhuge Liang nodded calmly, "But no matter what kind of arrangement, Guishuang's people must be uneasy now. If we go and start"On the contrary, it is possible for the other party to unite because of external relations" "So let's start. Our goal is clear and clear, which is to reach the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges. Even if Kushan was invaded because of the Kabul Valley, the internal forces were reluctantly unified. , it is actually useless, we are just feinting. "Sima Yi waved his hand and directly interrupted Zhuge Liang. "Occupying the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River in the south of Guishang, as long as we can stand firm and move successfully, the defeat of Guishang is only a matter of time. It is far better than the high consumption we have now. many. "Chen Gong also echoed Sima Yi's words. "No, I'm just thinking about a question. If Vesutiva I didn't die, where did he go? Also, if Vesudeva I had not died, and now it was announced that he was dead, who in Kushan would jump out directly. "Zhuge Liang looked at the two people in front of him calmly and said. "Going to the north? "Chen Gong said tentatively, but after he spoke, he felt something was wrong. Then he slowly unlocked his spiritual talent, and then looked up at Zhuge Liang again with a dark expression on his face, "Vesutiva I went to the south! " "Yes, based on his performance over the years, if he is forced to this extent this time, he may really go to the south. After all, if he returns to the north, he will just borrow the power of the royal family to defeat his opponents again, which will affect his own credibility and status. It has been shaken, and even if it is settled, it is just a mess. "Zhuge Liang said slowly. "If he goes to the south, he has no roots in the south" Sima Yi said slowly. However, before he had finished speaking, Sima Yi had already realized that Vesuthiva I actually had roots in the south. Although the foundation is very weak, compared to borrowing the power of the north to quell the current chaos and leaving a mess afterwards, with the demeanor shown by Vesudeva I in recent years, if he would rather break than bend "He went to Lahaul There. "Sima Yi raised his forehead and looked at Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong opposite him. He hated the two bastards opposite him. One could see everything at a glance as long as he turned on his spiritual talent. The other could do that as long as he turned on his spiritual talent. Knowing the depth of autumn by seeing a leaf, even Sima Yi doubted his own intelligence when following two people face to face. ¡°Yes, he only has three places to go in the south. "Zhuge Liang nodded and said. "Mengkhambu at Minnagala Port, the Sisi family who established the naval system, and Rahul who raised 100,000 troops and rebuilt the new army. "Chen Gong stretched out his hand and gestured with his fingers. "The current situation of the Sisi family cannot protect Vesutiva I. Mengkangbu can protect him, but if he goes to the sea with Mengkangbu, it is better to go directly to the north to borrow troops in his own capacity. To pacify Kushan, the last choice is the most dangerous Rahul. "Sima Yi said not to be outdone. "Yes, in the end this is the only choice. Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Send a letter to the three families, tell them the result, and let them instigate others to take action. Vesutiva I is not easy to deal with, so it would be better to change to another emperor." " "No problem, I'll write to them now. "Sima Yi sneered and said, "It's actually in the south, so the Brahmins should be very interested in the head of Vesuthiva I. " "Tell them not to waste time or play any tests. Just go up and kill them with one strike. Kill them as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed. I have a bad feeling. Vesudeva I may be ruined. "Zhuge Liang said with a cautious expression. "If that person comes back again and secures his throne, I'm afraid even if we can win, it will be difficult. If we conquer the world by ourselves from south to north, then that person may really jump out. Fences. "Chen Gong also felt the same way. If the man who had shouted such words in Peshawar was really forced to have the strength to practice such will, even the Han Dynasty would be numb. "Then who is this road to the Kabul Valley? Come? "Sima Yi licked his lips and said, even though he knew that this road was now blocked by the group of people from the north of Guishuang, and even with the assistance of two military soul legions, it was just a feint attack and it was difficult to achieve results, but Sima Yi still He wants to give it a try, and he believes he can achieve a pretty good result. ¡°I¡¯ll do the feint attack in the Kabul Valley. "Chen Gong crossed his hands, "It doesn't matter whether we win or lose on this road. What matters is our determination to fight through from there. " Sima Yi felt a little unhappy when he heard this. However, before he could speak, Zhuge Liang interrupted what Sima Yi wanted to say. "Zhongda, go this way later. "Zhuge Liang pointed to the Hindu Kush Mountains on the map. "Can our army get there? "Sima Yi frowned and asked. "Zhongda, when we turn back, General Gao Yuanbo and Gao will mobilize the super-heavy steps and cooperate with you and Wen Chang to take this road for me. "Zhuge Liang pointed to the Hindu Kush Mountains south of Congling and said coldly, "Other legions have passed by.I know you won't go, but General Gao's super-heavy steps and Wen Chang's headquarters can definitely pass by. You can drive directly from here! "
