Han Xiang

Chapter 461

The first batch of underwear sent to Wancheng was the size that Xu Wei brought to Hefei last year, and there was no Zhuge Liang's plan in it.

Liu Bei was willing to give everything to Zhuge Liang. He agreed to the two wives, Gan and Mi, without considering that the wives were not the right size.

Fortunately, raw materials are limited in this era, and the lace-up styles used in the back can be adjusted by shrinking the straps, which can barely be used in all sizes.

Of course, tailor-made clothes are the most comfortable and close-fitting.

It's a pity that Hefei and Jingzhou are too far apart, and the commercial company has to pass through Xudu for transit. Counting the round-trip and sewing time on the road, it will take more than half a year.

Huang Yueying's exclusive customized model will not be delivered until the next year.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly took the wooden box, and then asked his followers to move it to his carriage. He was concerned about the development of the situation in Huainan, so he couldn't wait to ask about Long Xiang's situation.

When he heard about the war in Huainan some time ago, which affected the rhythm of Cao Cao's attack to the north, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but praised: "Long Yunqi is really a genius, and my lord has him in the east to help contain it, and the difficulty of accomplishing great things will be much less. "

"That's right, when I first met him, I was still an immature boy. After a few years, Yun Qi has become a father."

Liu Bei nodded and sighed, and then added: "Zhang Wenyuan and Taishi Ziyi are all famous generals in the world, Yun Qi can win against them and gain the upper hand, he really deserves to be the next best."

"Liang also heard the names of these two people. They were both good helpers in the peace of the world. It's a pity that they belonged to Sun Cao by mistake. Among them, Tai Shici had the worst fate. Liu Yao didn't use him again. Sun Ce died early. Sun Quan Will not use troops."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking with a serious face, he suddenly made a bold assumption: "If you can say that you have surrendered Taishi Ci, it would be great for the Lord to use."

Liu Bei exclaimed: "Could it be that the military division can pinch and count?"

"What do you mean, my lord?" Zhuge Liang looked surprised.

Liu Bei replied: "Yun Qi once asked Xu Wei to take the lead, saying that Taishi Ziyi and the Sun family did not have a deep friendship, and he was going to say for me to surrender, but he needed to plan slowly."

Zhuge Liang nodded frequently: "Since General Long has this heart, he must be somewhat sure. Tai Shici is familiar with the situation in Jiangdong. If he is the pioneer, General Long may really be able to win Yangzhou."

"Speaking of which, when we went to rescue Kong Beihai back then, Ziyi and I had some friendship, he was a little arrogant, I wonder if he can fall in love with Beihai?"

Liu Bei responded softly, a little unconfident in his words.

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and said solemnly and relievedly: "My lord's faith spreads all over the world, so don't underestimate yourself. As long as you occupy Guanzhong according to the plan, no matter how proud you are, you will look sideways."

"What the military adviser said is very true." Liu Bei frowned and nodded: "Cao thief is always jealous of Bei. He is afraid that Guanzhong will be difficult to get. It’s hard for Jingzhou to help.”

"Cai Kuai has always been close to Cao Cao. Even if Jingzhou has help, he can't use it. Right now, he can only rely on the power of the Shen family. As for the lord, he is worried that Cao Cao will find out. Liang has a way to make him powerless to stop."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang had a plan in mind, Liu Bei asked curiously, "What's the strategist's plan?"

"Cultivate the plank road in the open, and keep the warehouse in the dark!"

Zhuge Liang first gave a conclusion, and then explained: "The lord helped the eldest son to pacify Handong. Everyone in the world thought that we were going to continue westward, and all our attention was on Nanzheng and Zhanglu. As long as we take Wuguan without anyone noticing, we will be Unimpeded soldiers approaching the city of Chang'an."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, and then asked: "Chang'an is a strong capital city. If our army can't quickly capture the city in one go, how do you plan to resist Cao Cao's reinforcements? At that time, if you go deep into the enemy's territory, you may suffer from the enemy."

"Ha ha."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan with a smile, and said meaningfully: "The only thing we can do is to let Cao Cao have a taste of the sweetness. His failure to fight Yuan Shao in the past two years is due to being restrained continuously, so we have to live in peace for a while, and at the same time remind General Long not to make trouble. , Let Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have a good fight."

Liu Bei frowned and murmured: "There are serious internal struggles in Hebei. I'm afraid Yuan Benchu ​​will not be able to defeat Cao Cao."

Zhuge Liang said to him: "It doesn't matter if we can't defeat the enemy. Yuan Shao has a deep foundation in Hebei. Gongsun Zan could linger on for several years, and the Yuan family will not be swallowed easily. We can sneak attack Chang'an when Cao Cao's troops are in Hebei and cannot divide the troops. Why? Is it impossible to settle in the midst of sorrow? This is a strategy to trap the enemy by fighting."

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard that, he rubbed his hands and spun around on the spot, excitedly said: "It's a good strategy to trap the enemy by fighting, we can just use the opportunity of Yuan Cao's battle to recuperate and train soldiers in Xicheng, and I will also send someone to tell Yun Chang, Tell him not to provoke Cao Cao in Nanyang."

"Ah."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, pointed to the west and said: "Let's set off for the west city as soon as possible. The reply from the imperial court must have been delivered. I don't know what trick Cao Cao used."

"Okay, let's start."

When Liu Bei nodded in agreement, he suddenly stopped Zhuge Liang and asked, "Yun Qi is going to talk about Jiang Ziyi, should I do something? Write a letter of persuasion and send it to Huainan?"

Zhuge Liang waved his hand lightly: "My lord, you only need to tell General Long not to act rashly, so that Cao Cao can fight Yuan Shao with peace of mind. I will handle the matter of Taishi Ziyi."

"You?" Liu Bei showed a surprised expression.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "My brother was recommended by Hongzhi three years ago to serve as an official in the Sun Quan shogunate. Recently, he was recommended by Zhang Zhao and transferred from Haiyan to the center of Wu County. Maybe Liang can use his elder brother's hand to help General Long."

"Brother Ling."

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, and reminded with earnestness: "Brother Ling is serving Sun Jia after all. If the military master reveals Yun Qi's intention, if Sun Quan or others find out, wouldn't Hefei be in danger?"

"Liang knows how to measure, and at most uses words to guide, and will not tell secrets. Don't worry, my lord."

"That's good. I think it's getting late. Let's set off as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Liu Bei didn't doubt it, seeing Zhuge Liang's assurance, he let go of his worries.

Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin separated from Xuzhou and had not seen each other for many years. Although the two brothers often exchanged letters, Zhuge Jin had his own political ideals, and it was impossible for Zhuge Liang to persuade his elder brother to betray the Lord at this time.

After all, the Sun family is not considered weak among the princes, and Zhuge Jin doesn't have much real power in Jiangdong at this time, and he can't play much role. Zhuge Liang can only give Sun Quan some wrong tips through Zhuge Jin's mouth, and indirectly provide Long Xiang with some help.

When Zhuge Liang returned to Longzhong to move his family, he arrived in Wudang early by water. He raised more than a dozen boats in Wudang and prepared to use them for Liu Bei and others' family members.

But I didn't expect Liu Bei to bring too many family members, civil and military officials had nearly a thousand people, and the ships raised by Wudang were not enough to carry goods.

When the two of them arrived at Hanshui Wharf, the swaying boat on the Zhuge Liang River said: "Wudang's official ships are not willing to borrow, and these are the civilian ships that Liang has raised. Right now, we have to load the heavy things on the ship, and the rest will slowly go to Xicheng by land. "
