[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

The morning light is faint, and its color is dim.

The white dove flapped its wings and flew out of the city through the dark clouds.Suddenly the sound of the wind was pierced by a sharp arrow, and the huge force brought the soft body of the poor white pigeon back to the city wall.Guo Jia looked in the direction the arrow was coming from, and as expected, Zhuge Liang stood with his hands behind his back in a narrow corner where there was only sunlight.The eyes of the two met, and the corners of their lips were raised at the same time, and the smile did not reach the bottom of their eyes.

"Good archery." Guo Jia knelt down and picked up the white dove that had lost its breath. "In the past when Lu Bu shot a halberd at Yuanmen, what he shot was just a still life. But this strong man was able to shoot down the dove from such a long distance with one arrow." A pigeon that has been trained. I wonder if Kong Ming would like to introduce it to Jia?"

"If Fengxiao is at the foot of this city, together with Liang to help Han Dao, Liang will do it with a little effort." Suddenly seeing a silver light, Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, "But at this time Fengxiao is on this high city wall , and pointed a sharp arrow at Liang. Shu Liang is really unable to fulfill Xiao's wishes."

"Tsk." Guo Jia sighed lightly, shook his head at the archer hidden behind the city wall, and signaled him to back down, "Jia came to Fancheng for ten days, and the number of lieutenant generals of the Kongming Army was not even found out, so this pigeon was released." , I want to make a deal with Kong Ming. Kong Ming really wants to be so unkind?"

"In the deal with Fengxiao, nine out of ten were killed in Huangquan, and one Yi tribe was in the third service. Liang didn't dare to make a big deal, and only knew that the best way to avoid losing was not to do it." Zhuge Liang's tone became more and more amiable. , "Besides, there is less food left in the city, and although the pigeons are small, they can still satisfy their hunger. Liang can't bear to take food from the hungry."

At this time, Man Chong, one of the guards in the city, came to the city wall.He seemed to be holding something in his hand, and when he got close to Guo Jia, he threw it on the ground, only to hear the thing snort, and it turned out to be a living person.This person's skin was ripped apart and dripping with blood. When Man Chong dragged him to the wall and pressed the back of his neck, he could still hear his cries of pain.Compared with his horrible body, his face was clean enough for Zhuge Liang to recognize that he was one of the spies buried in Cao Jun.

The blood flowed down the wall, covering the spot where the dove splashed on the wall just now when the pigeon fell.Knowing that it was useless, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but clenched his fists in the wide sleeves: "The people Liang sent into Fancheng are all dead men, and torture is useless to them. Loyal men can be killed but not humiliated. Please honor them with filial piety." consider."

"Torture is useless?" Guo Jia had a half-smile in his eyes, "Bo Ning, tell Kong Ming everything you got."

"Yes." When Man Chong spoke, his hand became heavier again, and the spy let out a cry of pain, and passed out, "There are five thousand apprentice soldiers outside Fancheng, with food for more than a month, and the two generals Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun People, each with 18 cavalry, with half a month's worth of food, stationed in the northwest and southeast corners of the city, to respond to the urgent needs of the gates of all parties. In addition, [-] people were mixed into the city, including five under the command of General Zhengnan, and the Quartet There are two city gate guards, three Sasa servants, and the other two pretending to be husband and wife living in the south lane of the city, passing information through the well water in the city.”

"Except for the one in front of me, all the others are dead. However, it was nine days ago." In other words, after Guo Jia arrived in Fancheng for one day, he had already found out all the details.As for the information passed to Zhuge Liang later, it was naturally from Guo Jia, "So, Kong Ming guesses, is there more or less food and grass in Fancheng?"

"The food and grass in the city is enough for a person to eat for five days; enough for half a person to eat for ten days. On the 11th, the city will run out of food. Half a month later, there will be starving corpses in the city." His tone was flat. And certainty is not a guess, but a statement, "Although the information is all based on Feng Xiao, it is not completely false. It is not difficult to draw this conclusion by comparing and referring to it."

"As I said before, Jia wants to make a deal with Kong Ming." "In addition to food and grass, Jia can also tell Kong Ming that Jia's biggest purpose in coming to Fancheng is to entangle you. With Jia here, the city will not be broken for a day." , you dare not leave for a day. In exchange, Jia wants to know your intentions."

"Liang wants to play a game of chess with Feng Xiao."

The wind swept the green shirt and the black hair on the sideburns, and Zhuge Liang saw Qiushuang falling on Guo Jia's eyes, and besides, his own face that also lost the smile.

"You and I both know that Fancheng is not the gate of the overall situation. Before we got together in Fancheng, you and I made arrangements. But now, Feng Xiao is trapped in the city and has no news, and Liang is stumbled outside the city. Thousands of miles away, we can't reach him. You and me Both of them will stay here and watch this game quietly, whoever loses and who wins."

Yizhou Chengdu

A blue-gray figure walked in the noisy streets.He has no name, not since he was a child.Not long ago, others called him by the name "Ying Ping".But compared to these two ordinary words, he prefers the vague and gloomy title that was not unique to him a long time ago——

Weed octopus.

Six years ago, Liangzhou was pacified, and the world was at peace.Weed octopus is a product born in troubled times, and when the troubled times are over, weed octopus naturally loses the meaning of existence.Contrary to what they had expected, Guo Jia gave them the potion to remove the tattoo and enough money to spend the rest of their lives, without any request.The sky is high and the sea is wide, the mountains and rivers are north and south, and they are allowed to come and go freely.

But just like people who drink alcohol all year round will be addicted to alcohol, people who have been soaked in conspiracy and killing all year round will only be out of place in the peaceful world.He has traveled to many places in the world and tried many things, but his life is always full of boredom.He didn't want to just go with the flow and grow old.He needed an opportunity, an opportunity to give life meaning again.

Not long ago, the opportunity finally presented itself.

Through some connections, he met Liu Bei and took over the task of accompanying him to act in front of Zhuge Liang.From the very beginning, he knew that this false and inferior play could never fool Zhuge Liang, who was valued so much by Guo Jia.And the reason why he came to play this game was not for the useless gold nuggets, but to use his tricks and kill Liu Bei.

Bearing humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, he lived on his salary and tasted his courage for ten years, with a hundred thousand armors, grains like hills and mountains, countless powerful crossbows and sharp swords, but he was killed by an inch dagger before he left the army.Come to think of it, is there anything more dramatic than this in the world?And he who has completed this big play will surely be compared to Jing Ke and Guo Xie in the history and bamboo books.

However, contrary to expectations, Zhuge Liang came much faster than he expected.Under Zhuge Liang's majestic gaze, knowing that his martial arts were higher than that of the other, and knowing that there were only three people in the room, he was like Qin Wuyang who followed Jing Ke to tyranny Qin, his whole body was cold, as if his hands and feet were bound by something.In the end, before the dagger was out of his arms, he found an excuse to escape over the wall.

After running a long distance, he gradually calmed down, and then, even greater fear swept through his body.In that class just now, he actually flinched!At that moment, all that occupied his mind was that once Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were killed, he would definitely not be able to escape unscathed.The throbbing of his heart desperately announced that no matter how much he spurned his peaceful life, these six long and boring years still left a deep imprint on him.He actually started to fear death!

not like this!It shouldn't be like this!

In any case, he could not accept the conclusion that he had become a coward.There are many reasons, for example, he just didn't get used to it for a while, for example, it was a better choice to plot again in the situation at that time... But no matter how many possible reasons he could think of, he couldn't convince himself to tear off the words " excuses" label.

There is only one really useful solution—to finish the unfinished business.

Liu Bei led his troops to leave Yizhou. The army was heavily fortified, and the bravery of ordinary people was useless, but Yizhou was still there.He has lived in Yizhou for a year.Under the rule of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, Yizhou seemed to be calm at first glance, but in reality it was undercurrents.Now that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are not here, the wealthy king Yi, who has been suppressed for a long time, must be ready to move. All they lack is a spark.

He is that spark.

During this period of time, he has already traveled to Jianning, Yuexi, Cangzhou and other places, and visited many people in Yongkai, Gaoding, and Zhu Bao, and he only returned to Chengdu yesterday.The days of running around were not hard work, but he was somewhat tired, so that he, who was always cautious and cautious while walking on the street during the day, made another mistake.Because he was absent-minded, he walked more and more sideways, and accidentally bumped into a passerby.

"Feel sorry."

When shoulders bumped, he took a quick glance.This person's face is somewhat familiar, it seems...

However, the person who was hit did not want to tangle with him.When he turned around to take a closer look, the man had disappeared.There is no need to bother about useless things, he turned his head and continued walking, only to find that there was a person standing in front of him at some point.

"I'm Fei Yi, Fei Wenwei." Before he could ask, the visitor had already reported his family name gently, "Yi is very good at chess, and Mr. Wen has traveled all over Nanzhong recently, and there is nothing wrong with him. You have prepared tea at home, please sir. Appreciation."

————————————————————

Zhang Yi looked at the chariots, horses and warriors in front of him, and said with a smile, "It's called 'Appreciate the Light', which is really a threat. If I insist on not going, how many strong men will be tied down forcibly?"

"You're joking. My son knows that you are here in Jiangdong, and you have something important to discuss with General Sun. You are in a hurry, and we are also in a hurry. Why don't you get in the car earlier, it's convenient for both of us."

The leader looked like a big and three rough, his appearance was unattractive, but his words were extremely safe, he was definitely not like an ordinary servant.Zhang Yi's eyes darkened slightly.Worth mentioning.These people are either Sun Quan's mysteries or Cao Cao's people. Even if it is the latter, there is no need to kill him as a lobbyist.Thinking of this, Zhang Yi simply didn't shirk, and happily got into the car.

However, the carriage didn't drive to any mansion or restaurant, but went south all the way to the outskirts of the city. The person who "graciously" invited him to come was sitting alone in the quiet depths of the bamboo forest.Across the mottled light and shadow, he could hear Shen Ya's piano sound, smell the clear aroma of wine, but couldn't see the real face there.

The servant led him to sit down on the mat beside him, and served him the tea that had been prepared for a long time.At this time, the sound of the zither stopped, and the human voice was mixed with the wind in the rustling bamboo leaves, which could be heard clearly but not clearly:

"Mr. has something important to do, so I will get straight to the point. I take the liberty to invite you here because I want to discuss something with you."

"Ming Lishi stopped me in the street and took me here forcibly, but now he doesn't even show his face. How can we talk about the word 'negotiation'."

Zhang Yi's anger was intentional.In the way of the game, one's own side is relatively weak, so one should take the lead and make the other party think that one has something to rely on and feel fearful.If it can provoke the other party to show up, it will kill two birds with one stone.

However, the voice from the other side of the green bamboo was still gentle and slow, without any influence: "The matter is urgent, how rude. If I finish this matter with my husband, if he refuses to agree, he will let him go. "

"Tell me about it."

"I know that the purpose of sir to come to Jiangdong is to persuade Sun Quan to form an alliance with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao in the north."

He did know.Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"And this is exactly what I want to discuss with my husband. I hope that my husband can give up this trip and take the rest of the Shu people back to Yizhou immediately."

Zhang Yi suddenly stood up and walked out of the bamboo forest.After walking a few steps, a samurai stopped him.

"Just now you said that if I don't want to agree, you can let me go. Why doesn't it count now?"

"Sir, I haven't finished listening to what I'm saying."

"If you are ordered to come, you may fail, but it is absolutely impossible to run away. It is hard to follow orders."

"Then sir, I'm not curious. Why do you dare to be sure that after listening to my words, sir, you will definitely change your mind?"

"..."

He shouldn't be curious.Zhang Yi knew this very well, but after hesitating for a while, he still couldn't control himself and sat back on the table.

If he hasn't returned tonight, the people who came with him will immediately send the letter written by Mr. Zhuge to Sun's residence.He couldn't delay the business, so if he probed more thoroughly, it was fine.

Naturally, the people in the bamboo forest had expected his actions.Seeing him sit down again, he chuckled lightly.

"Sir, do you know what the current situation in Jiangdong is?"

Zhang Yi didn't answer.He knew that the other party didn't intend to listen to his answer.

"The Sun family has been running Jiangdong for many years. There are a lot of talented officials and generals in the account, and they have a lot of troops. The warships that were burned a few years ago have been repaired one after another. They formed an alliance with Shu and divided the world. From outsiders, Sun Quan has this strength. I also have this ambition.

But there are some inside stories that only those who have lived in Jiangdong for a long time can know.For shipbuilding and conscription, the Sun family needs to collect taxes and food from the family and the people for everything; and because the barbarian bandits in Jiangdong have frequently rebelled in recent years, the wardens have been severely cured, and it is not uncommon for the barbarians to exterminate their families.At the same time, the Xun family will often conduct monthly evaluations to select talents, and when there are floods and natural disasters, they will distribute money and food, build schools in various counties and counties, and host village ceremonies... One side is taking money from the people, One side is giving favors widely, even though the former has heavy weapons and sharp weapons, the gentleman should understand who is the real master of Jiangdong now. "

Let the enemy seize the benefits of the people, and make yourself benefit the people with real benefits.Before coming to Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang had told him about Sun Quan's dilemma.Even if Sun Quan saw the calculation, in order to raise troops and build ships, he had to follow suit.However, besides that, Zhuge Liang also said——

"Win the hearts of the people with the kingly way, at least ten years or more, three generations, and now the one who controls Jiangdong is naturally the Sun family."

Unexpectedly, the people in the bamboo forest gave a low laugh instead, as if they were waiting for Zhang Yi's answer:

"Then what if I tell you next time that most of Jiangdong's industrial farms are handed over to the aristocratic family for management, but in fact they are already in the hands of my Xun family?

Ironware, cloth, millet... Jiangdong is inseparable from the aristocratic family, and those aristocratic families can no longer do without the Xun family. Every boat and every weapon built by Sun Quan over the years seems to be hidden deep, but in fact every Every item of the pen has long been exposed from my brother.This time, if I were brother Cong, once Sun Quan dared to form an alliance with you, we would first cut off salt and iron, and then cut off food and clothing.All parties are troubled and the people are resentful. How dare Sun Quan continue to go his own way?

So now, let me ask Mr. Bian, who is the Lord of Jiangdong? "

————————————————————

Ying Ping followed Fei Yi into the gate, through the hall, and within a few steps, he reached the backyard.Compared with those magnificent and grand mansions in central Sichuan, Fei Yi's home can be called simple.Looking at the poor "tea" with a few thin stalks floating in the cup brought by the servant, Ying Ping couldn't help but think that the four-foot-high, one-person-wide deer cart that brought him just now might even be a little richer. Most people would not be willing to use that kind of vehicle.The only thing in the entire mansion that can be said to be worth some money is probably only the chess pieces used in front of the game, with a warm color and warm tentacles.It is worthwhile to get these two cups by taking the best jade and carving thousands of times.

"Yi lost his father when he was young, and has always lived by his patriarch. The most precious things in the family are probably only these two games of chess." Fei Yi seemed to know what he was thinking, and calmly sipped his cup of "tea". Shengwei Yingping explained, "When my uncle was in charge of Yizhou in the early years, life was better. Now that the current situation is turbulent, Yi is content to be able to get this peaceful place to live in."

uncle?

The ability to observe words and expressions, and guess people's hearts, is the basic skill of octopuses.Generally speaking, most people will not choose to actively disclose new information to strangers who are wary of strangers.Whether it is a favor or a trap, all in all, this passage can never be just a simple chat.

And Ying Ping did smell some clues from it.The uncle Fei Yi mentioned seemed to refer to Liu Zhang, the former shepherd of Yizhou, and Liu Zhang's biological mother, as far as he knew, was named Fei.Liu Zhang took in Liu Bei who had nowhere to go back then, but he didn't expect to raise tigers and lose Yizhou and die in depression.It is indeed human nature for Fei Yi, or Fei's family, to have resentment from state shepherds and noble relatives to dependents overnight.

More importantly, he hurried back to Chengdu from Nanzhong this time because someone asked an informant to deliver a letter to him, wishing to achieve great things together.The letter was not signed, but only said that he would pick him up when he arrived in Chengdu.Looking at it now, Fei Yi in front of him is probably the person who wrote the letter.

In the final analysis, the rise of troops in Nanzhong was nothing more than border chaos and barbarian chaos. If the Fei family could use the excuse of the Fei family to encourage a group of Yizhou clans to raise troops from Chengdu, it would completely overthrow Liu Bei's lair.

"From what I can see, Brother Fei's eyes are bright and clear, and his appearance is dignified. How can a house with shabby tiles be worthy of Brother Fei's great talent. Although Uncle Liu was unfortunately killed by a traitor, I heard that there is another son—— "

"Brother Ying is referring to Mr. Liu Chan? You have met him before. Mr. Qiyi is a young master who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. If you are lucky enough to help you, you will surely achieve great achievements."

"Fate is unpredictable, but—"

"Wen Wei!"

A voice suddenly interrupted Ying Ping's words.Following the prestige, I saw a white-clothed young man walking towards this side, followed by an anxious-looking Fei family servant.

"I'm really sorry, the villain told Mr. Yu that the young master is receiving guests, but Mr. Yu still..."

While the servant was apologizing, the uninvited guest had already approached.Through the clothes, Ying Ping recognized that this young man was the one he accidentally bumped into on the street before, but what really changed his face was the young man's appearance.It's—it's—

But at this time, this Mr. Yu had already squeezed Fei Yi's mat and sat down unceremoniously:

"Wen Wei's friends either come to him to play chess, or to discuss important matters with him. If it's the former, Yi is also a chess addict. If it's the latter, Yi can't let smooth-talking people deceive Wen Wei." His brisk tone seemed to be He joked, "So, Wen Wei, what you guys were talking about just now was about chess or state affairs?"
