Chang'an City.

Yinwang's Mansion.

The weather is slightly cool, in the courtyard, two people sit opposite each other, boiling tea and talking about the world!

Zhuge Liang scooped out the floating broken tea leaves with a small wooden spoon, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao! Mr. Zhang asked you to drink more medicine, why didn't you listen! ”

Guo Jia suddenly had black lines on his head, looked straight at Zhuge Liang, and said angrily: "Kong Ming, isn't this tea fragrant?" ”

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Fragrant! ”

"Since this tea is fragrant, why can't I stop your mouth?"

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said casually: "Although this tea is fragrant, it is really not worth mentioning compared to the heroic lie!" ”

After speaking, he showed a touch of aftertaste: "What a wonderful thing it would be if you could drink a cup of heroic martyrs every dinner!" ”

Guo Jia suddenly threw the cup over in anger, and snorted lightly: "A gentleman is disciplined with himself, wine hurts his body, wine makes mistakes, and wine asks for money!" ”

Guo Jia forcibly found three reasons for himself, and said with a smile: "Kong Ming! You say you look white and clean, but why can't you find a mother-in-law? ”

Zhuge Liang's face instantly darkened: "It's as if you have it!" ”

The two fought for a while, and then got back to business, Zhuge Liang said softly with a deep face: "Is there no news ahead?" ”

Guo Jia also sighed: "Wen You has sent several groups of people, but there is still no news coming!" ”

"Alas! Now is the most critical juncture, this battle has come too early, if only we could wait until the beginning of spring next year! ”

Guo Jia nodded in agreement: "Yes!" The lord has been laying out for so long, and he is finally about to close the net, but this kind of thing happened! ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and still didn't understand the meaning of Guo Jia's words, so he asked.

"Kong Ming!" Guo Jia's face suddenly became much more solemn, and he asked, "What do you think, what is the official election system in our dynasty now?" ”

Zhuge Liang's face was stunned for a moment, many years came to his mind, and finally he said in a deep voice: "What do you mean...... I understand! ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a gleam, and his face showed a look of sudden realization, but it did contain endless surprise: "The lord is really bold!" ”

"yes!" Guo Jia was also in a trance for a while, who would have thought that in just half a year, such earth-shaking changes could occur: "The lord has been playing the idea of the family from the beginning, and this game of chess has been played for half a year!" ”

Zhuge Liang was suddenly shocked: "If it can really be done, it will surely bless the world, and the poor family will also be able to produce a prime minister!" ”

A trace of gloom flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he sighed lightly: "For today's plan, I just want the county lord to be safe!" ”

Zhuge Liang also bowed slightly, and said with deep eyes: "The lord has great ambitions, has the wisdom to know people, and understands the way to use people, the only deficiency is that he has no ambition!" ”

Guo Jia nodded lightly, "Compared with half a year ago, the lord has changed a lot, not to mention, the lord is still an adult now, and we can't be in a hurry!" It's a good thing to experience a few more setbacks! ”

Zhuge Liang nodded lightly, and suddenly spoke: "Fengxiao, what do you think about the alliance?" ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Although the national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not strong, since the Empress Dowager Xuanyi took power, everything is thriving, and now Xuanyi intends to delegate power and gradually hand over the government to the eldest princess, the meaning is very obvious, I want the eldest princess to succeed to the throne!" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded with a fixed face: "Not bad!" Since Emperor Zhou passed the throne to Xuanyi, although the court is turbulent, it has never been out of Xuanyi's control, and now she is eager to abdicate, just to help the eldest princess up early, so that not only can her position be consolidated, but even the eldest princess can reduce the turmoil of the change of imperial power! ”

"At least from the current point of view, the Great Zhou can't be chaotic, if we go to form an alliance, they will definitely agree, first, with our deterrence, the Great Zhou court will also take care of a lot, and second, even if there is no Nanban now, the pressure on them from Daqin is still not small!"

"Hmm!" Guo Jia nodded and said softly, "Daqin is a variable!" If the north and west can't be stabilized, Donglai can't be destroyed! ”

Zhuge Liang chuckled: "Ally with the Great Zhou, contain the Great Qin, send heavy troops to defend Tianlong City, and break Donglai with cavalry, then the big thing can be done!" ”

Guo Jia bowed slightly, but there was still a sorrow between his eyebrows!

Suddenly, a figure hurriedly walked over, only to see Li Ru's happy face, seeing the two of them, he hurriedly laughed and said: "The county lord is worry-free!" ”

Guo Jia stood up suddenly: "Is the news true?" ”

Li Ru laughed: "I just came out of the palace, Grandpa Gao has returned, and now the lord has gone to Hell Valley, although the county lord is still asleep, but there is no worry about his life!" ”

Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief, the boulder that had been hanging in their hearts finally fell!

"How's the situation in the East?" Guo Jia continued to ask!

Li Ru's face suddenly sank, and said: "It has stabilized, Donglai has lost its troops, our army has taken the Juque Pass, and trapped Donglai's main force under the Dark Valley!" ”

"What a good thing!"

Guo Jia's face was immediately overjoyed, and Zhuge Liang also showed a hint of a smile, but Li Ru continued: "The beggar army is almost completely annihilated, General Ran is seriously injured, there are only a dozen people left in the camp, 50,000 Great Xia iron cavalry, only more than 10,000 remains, the forbidden army, the Long Xiang army, and the reinforcements of Tianlong City are also lost soldiers!" ”

As soon as Li Ru's voice fell, the smiles on the faces of Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Liang instantly froze, and he said in a deep voice: "How can it be so tragic?" ”

"The commander of Donglai this time is not a simple person, but the Yue King Bingyu of Donglai!" As soon as Li Ru's voice fell, Guo Jia's face suddenly turned pale: "It turned out to be him!" ”

"Yes! Bingyu was also a generation of war gods back then, and he used to fight against the emperor! Li Ru said suddenly: "Bingyu sent an army to attack our military camp at night to attract attention, and secretly sent 30,000 troops to attack the Stygian Valley, and personally led 60,000 troops to ambush behind our army, General Ran personally led the beggar army to fight four battles, and only three of them came back with anger!" ”

Li Ru informed the two of them of the information he had obtained, only to hear Guo Jia speak in a deep voice: "What can you do if you capture Juque Pass?" As long as our army dares to take a step forward, Daqin will immediately be overwhelmed by the army! ”

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Yes! Wen You, immediately send a message to Ye Shuai to warn against Daqin! ”

Li Ru nodded lightly and continued to speak: "I'm most worried about Beicang!" ”

Guo Jia frowned, pondered for a moment, and looked at Guo Jia: "Enter the palace immediately to meet Your Majesty, and let the reinforcements from Tianlong City return to the city!" ”
