"The minister will meet the prime minister and the king of Hanxing." A middle-aged figure dressed as a Confucian scholar, with a very handsome appearance, ran over and bowed his hand.
Wang Baoyu looked familiar, but he didn't think of it for a while, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Baoyu, this is Ma Liang's younger brother Ma Yan, and now I am serving as a squire." ”
"The minister is Ma Yan, thank the king for taking care of his brother, I can't reciprocate, and I am deeply disturbed." Ma Tan said politely.
"Alas, when it comes to your brother's affairs, I still have some regrets now, just one step away." Wang Baoyu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"This matter is all caused by me, and the king has done his best to his brother." Ma Jian said with red circles in his eyes.
Zhuge Liang waved his hand, let him go down to get busy, and together with Wang Baoyu, he continued to walk towards the largest office in the middle.
This person is in his early thirties, with ordinary appearance, simple clothes, not smiling, two eyebrows are very imposing, his eyes are not big, he is bright, and the whole person faintly reveals a kind of majesty.
"The minister met the prime minister and met the emperor's uncle."
"Go down! Don't let anyone in. Zhuge Liang said, this person bowed and left.
"Sir, this man is very good-looking!" Wang Baoyu and Zhuge Liang said as they walked inside.
"This person's name is Jiang Wan, he is fair, talented, and his character is even better, and he is now the prime minister's Zuo Cao Peng, and on the day I die, he can take over the post of prime minister, and he can protect the country forever." Zhuge Liang didn't treat Wang Baoyu as an outsider, and said his plan.
"Sir, isn't it too early to think about this?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"If you cultivate early, you will also save the power when you get it, and make the Holy Dynasty unstable." Zhuge Liang said.
The meeting place of the Prime Minister's Mansion is very neat and spacious, and there are not too many decorations. Zhuge Liang advocates thrift and set up such a large prime minister's mansion, not for his own enjoyment, but because since the official position of prime minister, the prime minister's mansion has always been the second small court, and many important ministers of the court have gone out from the prime minister's mansion.
After the two sat down, the servant sent fragrant tea, and just after a few sips, a large number of Liu Chan's rewards followed, and the list alone was so long that he didn't finish reading it for half an hour, Zhuge Liang didn't bother to listen to it, and the rewarder sent him away.
"Zen'er is not bad-hearted, although he is not very smart, but his IQ is enough. If you want to talk about it from your heart, it is much easier than when Liu Bei was alive, at that time, we were cautious, and he was always on guard. Wang Baoyu rummaged through the treasures that were rewarded.
"Because of this, the saint is easily bewitched by villains, otherwise how could there be today's farce!" Zhuge Liang mentioned Liu Chan, who was not successful, and was still a little dissatisfied.
"Sir, I didn't like to study in Wollongong at the beginning, and Huoya was also a half-bottle of vinegar, so you weren't so strict with us. Is Liu Chan too lenient by you? Wang Baoyu inquired.
"The saint is the king of a country, when the capable people can't, extraordinary talent should be the foundation, and it is a hundred times harder than ordinary people. You don't know that the saint doesn't love power and beauty, doesn't like treasures and antiques, and sneers at the book of sages and sages for governing the country, and his hobby is really special. At the mention of this, Zhuge Liang really couldn't say any more, and said with a wry smile: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, you and I haven't met for a long time, and it's very boring to say this." Hey, busy all day long, years are in a hurry, I don't know when I will have my own time. ”
Wang Baoyu smiled, Zhuge Liang has always had the heart of cultivation, but he himself was entangled in mundane things, and he was busy every day, so he didn't have time to think about these problems: "Hehe, you can't force everything, maybe you can be idle for a day, and you feel bored again." By the way, the gentleman must have something to say when he called me this time, right? ”
Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, and then said: "Baoyu, there is really a big matter to discuss with you this time. ”
"Sir, we are a family, if we have something to say." Wang Baoyu drank a cup of tea and said with a grin.
"Baoyu's conquest of South Vietnam is famous all over the world, but it also caused a lot of trouble." Zhuge Liang frowned.
"What's the trouble?" Wang Baoyu was confused, he always felt that he was quite obedient, and he didn't realize that he was not sincere to himself.
"Sun Quan has long coveted the land of Nanyue Baban, and he can't get it, and now that Nanyue is yours, he doesn't dare to try in vain, but he is eyeing the land of Baban." Zhuge Liang said.
"You're talking about Meng Huo's territory, right?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"There is not only Meng Huo in that place, but also Yonghong (kai), Gao Ding, Zhu Bao and others, Sun Quan bribed Yonghong to benefit, so that he united with Meng Huo and others to raise troops, intending to be in Chengdu, but Sun Quan was waiting to reap the profits." Zhuge Liang said angrily.
"This Sun Quan is too unauthentic." Wang Baoyu said a little annoyed.
"If the world is not unified, the heroes will not settle down, and they will not become friends, Sun Quan's move is not surprising." Zhuge Liang waved his hand.
"There is something wrong with his brain, I currently occupy Jingzhou and Yuezhou, even if Yonghong and others successfully weaken the strength here, how can he use Guò's own territory to come and fight Chengdu?" Wang Baoyu couldn't understand this reason.
"As far as I can see, Sun Quan will not be your enemy, but he can come by a detour, first fight Hexi, and then attack from the north side of the Han River all the way west to Hanzhong." Zhuge Liang analyzed.
"This method is not very smart, Cao Pi is not easy to mess with, Hehuai has fought many times without success." Wang Baoyu said.
"Now that you have suppressed Cao Pi's strength, you have given him a chance." Zhuge Liang said.
"Sir, do you mean to send troops to the south?" Wang Baoyu roughly understood, and it seems to be written in history that Zhuge Liang was going to go south to conquer Meng.
"I have this intention, after two years of rest and recuperation, Shuzhong's strength has been greatly improved, if Nanyi can't be pacified, I can't conquer Cao Wei in the north, how to talk about recovering the Han Dynasty!" Zhuge Liang said.
"The Han Dynasty is long gone, why should Mr. be obsessed with recovering the Han Dynasty?" Wang Baoyu was puzzled.
"I once swore an oath before the Lord, and I should do my best, even if I don't succeed, even if I die, I have no regrets!" Zhuge Liang insisted.
Seven captures of Meng and six out of Qishan, this is a great achievement that Zhuge Liang has praised for future generations, Wang Baoyu didn't want to stop it, and asked: "What can I help Mr. do?" ”
"Baoyu has already had experience in barbarian warfare against the enemy, so this time he will join me in the southern expedition again to pacify all parts of the south." Zhuge Liang discussed.
If it were someone else, Wang Baoyu would definitely not agree, he hated fighting, but Zhuge Liang spoke, and nodded and said: "Okay, it just so happens that I have no other plans recently, so I will go with Mr. to meet Meng Shu for a while." ”
Zhuge Liang laughed happily and said, "There is one more thing, Baoyu also wants to help." ”
