Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 504 Zhuge Zhishi
Later, with the help of Liao Li, Guan Yu used his influence in the military and political affairs to make a series of arrangements.

Facing these arrangements, Zhuge Liang didn't know at first. He thought that Guan Yu was at most just having conflicts with him, and he only needed to explain to him in the future, and all problems would no longer be a problem.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang adjusted the appointment of personnel in the three counties in the south except for Bajun, where Guan Yu was located. He still appointed Dong Heweiqian as the prefect, Yiji as the prefect of Hanjia, and Yin Mo as the prefect of Jiangyang. Meng Huo, who was the prefect of Jianning, served as the postal supervisor instead of taking the post of prefect of Jianning from afar. He also used Meng Huo's brother Meng Jie as the middle man and his younger brother Meng You as the general in order to appease Meng Huo. Because Huo was very convinced by Zhuge Liang's seven captures and seven attacks, he now took his followers to Chengdu to seek refuge. He didn't say anything about Zhuge Liang's arrangement, but his wife Zhu Rong and younger brother Meng You were a little dissatisfied with this, and privately said that they wanted to regain their hometown , but was reprimanded by Meng Huo.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang also talked with Qin Mi for a long time, and made a plan to send Qin Mi to Jiangdong to find Sun Quan for peace talks as soon as the communication with Guan Yu was successful.

For this reason, Zhuge Liang also wrote a letter to Guan Yu, in which he explained in detail his purpose, feasibility, and future plans. However, Guan Yu did not reply a word after reading it.

Soon afterwards, Zhuge Liang was shocked by the news from everywhere: all the civilian governors adjacent to Sun Quan's territory in the east and south of Yizhou were driven away by Guan Yu and then replaced by generals in the army: the governor of Bajun was still concurrently held by Guan Yu , the prefect of Jianwei was replaced by Meng Huo, the prefect of Hanjia was Wu Yi, and the prefect of Jiangyang was Zhang Yi.

Meng Huo was originally dissatisfied with his appointment as a civil servant, but he had to obey because of Zhuge Liang's prestige. Now that he was suddenly appointed as the prefect of Qianwei and led the governor of Jianning, he was very happy and happily found Zhuge Liang. , thanked Zhuge Liang for giving him such a position (he thought his position was appointed by Zhuge Liang), and was ready to take office.

At the same time, Guan Yu aggressively recruited troops, trained soldiers, and ordered soldiers stationed in various places to work in the fields, preparing for a long-term confrontation with Sun Quan's army. If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Yu, the prefect of Ba County sent by Sun Quan, was very powerful, and his own strength had improved. If it's not enough, he might have already led the army to attack.

Zhuge Liang who heard the news was very helpless, because Guan Yu's prestige in the country was too high. He was a figure who followed Liu Bei to start a business from the very beginning. Everyone made friends with him, and the soldiers in the army admired him even more. With Zhang Fei's support, he was powerless to fight against him.

"At first I thought that the lord has absolute trust in me, but I didn't expect this situation. I'm still too young. In addition, it's been difficult for my suggestions to be adopted by the lord during this period of time, so my prestige is really high. Is it not enough? Even though the lord has entrusted me with his son, and entrusted me with the internal affairs, I still cannot get the support of everyone. If God really lets me take charge of the military, political and diplomatic affairs of the Kingdom of Shu, even if I cannot guarantee the restoration of the past Glory can also guarantee that this foundation will not be lost in my lifetime, but now, my lord, please forgive me for my incompetence, and I cannot continue to serve my lord."

Zhuge Liang thought for a whole night, knowing that he could no longer continue to confront Guan Yu, otherwise, once the Shu army was in civil strife, the perishing would be faster, so he had to write a letter of resignation to Liu Chan, resigned from his post, and moved to the countryside of Shu County She went into seclusion.

Zhuge Liang's move is called advancing by retreating. He originally thought that once he left, the internal order of Yizhou would be in chaos. The state's internal affairs actually managed Yizhou in an orderly manner. Although it was not as good as Zhuge Liang's great governance in Yizhou, because there were no disputes, it is now better than before.

As a result, no one proposed to ask Zhuge Liang to come back. Even Zhuge Liang's confidants Yang Yi, Jiang Wan and others had no choice but to swallow their anger for the time being and dare not express anything.

Zhuge Liang was even more puzzled when he heard the news, because he didn't predict everything accurately, and he had never encountered such a situation before, and this can only show that there must be an expert behind the other party to help, and this expert People are not just people at Liao Li's level, they must be the top wise men in the world.

However, there are only a handful of top wise men in the world. Except for himself, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun of Jiangdong, everyone else is in Liu He's camp, so it is self-evident who the master behind Liao Li is.

"Could it be that Liao Lihui is Liu He's traitor? If that's the case, it's really terrible!" Zhuge Liang was terrified and shuddered. He calmed down and secretly contacted those confidantes in the past, asking them to investigate Liao Li carefully and collect evidence.

Although Zhuge Liang didn't want to, the news of his appointment spread all over the world. To his amazement, he soon received letters from Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Both letters were very polite and sincerely invited Zhuge Liang to come to them. He went to serve under his command, and even included a letter from Zhuge Liang's elder brother Zhuge Jin in Sun Quan's letter, urging Zhuge Liang to go to Jiangdong.

Zhuge Liang just smiled faintly when he saw these two letters, and then put them aside and ignored them. Although he could hardly survive in Yizhou now, he was unwilling to serve as an official elsewhere. When Liu Bei entrusted him with the country, this He was so touched by this kindness that he wished he could repay it with death. Therefore, although he was out of power now, he still hoped that one day in the future when Guan Yu could no longer support him, he would come out again and serve the country with all his energy to repay the favor. Due to Liu Bei's kindness, as for letting him change his position under Cao Cao or Sun Quan, and then calculating his original power, this is something he is absolutely unwilling to do.

"Although I am losing power now, I still have my own persistence. My lord has shown me kindness, and I will definitely repay this kindness with death. This kind of determination will never change because of my gains and losses! Now that I am an official At home, I just took the opportunity to read more books, cultivate my body, hone myself, and perfect myself. I believe that next time I come back, I will definitely have a brand new self!"

From then on, Zhuge Liang studied behind closed doors and didn't care about world affairs. Of course, this kind of indifference to world affairs is actually only superficial, because he is still paying attention to the general trend of the world and the reactions of all parties, especially Sun Quan and Liu He. He believes that his resignation will definitely cause new changes in the general situation of the world.
