The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 287 Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage, Longzhong's Strategy

A few days later, the news of success spread to Nanyang, and Zhu Can's army collapsed before entering the hinterland of Nanyang.

It turned out that this was exactly Guo Jia's plan. Guo Jia said: "Now that our army occupies Nanyang, Zhu Can's soldiers are all Nanyang natives."

"His family is under the control of the lord, as long as he is given greater favor than Zhu Can."

"When Zhu Can's soldiers heard about it, they would definitely lose their fighting spirit and be defeated on their own!"

This strategy was exactly what Lv Meng used against Guan Yu's soldiers after he captured Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty.

It has to be said that this effect is extremely superior.

Because the news only spread for a day or two, the Nanyang sergeant had already collapsed.

Afterwards, Zhu Can had no choice but to lead the remnant soldiers eastward and seek refuge with Wang Shichong of Luoyang.

…………

With the pacification of Nanyang, Zhu Can's separatist forces completely perished.

Gao Qi personally defended Nanyang for more than a month, thus stabilizing the situation in Nanyang.

At this time, Gao Qi was about to return to Jiangling, and Nanyang was the guard general.

In the end, Gao Qi still appointed Xue Rengui as the governor of Nanyang, in charge of Nanyang's military affairs.

Zhang Xun was appointed as the chief historian of Nanyang, responsible for handling Nanyang's government affairs and governing the place.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Qi left tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers in Nanyang, which belonged to Xue Rengui.

After all, cavalry is basically useless in Jiangnan, where there are many water systems.

However, Gao Qi took away eight hundred iron stupas.

Just when Gao Qi was about to go south, Zhang Xun entered the mansion and said, "King Qi, may I have heard of famous people from Xiangzhou Longzhong?"

"Oh?"

"who?"

Hearing this, Gao Qi didn't know what Zhang Xun said, so he asked in doubt.

Immediately, Zhang Xun explained: "This person's surname is Zhuge, his name is Liang, and his name is Kongming!"

"This person is a world-class genius, and has the ability to stabilize the world."

"However, this person is extremely confident and cannot easily go out to assist any monarch."

For a while, following Zhang Xun's reminder, Gao Qi remembered Zhuge Liang who had been summoned for a long time.

Afterwards, Gao Qi decisively changed his itinerary, instead of leading his army south immediately, he placed the Tiefutu in Fancheng.

Afterwards, Chen Dao and Dian Wei, who led the second personal guards alone, went to Longzhong according to the route guided by Zhang Xun!

…………

The spring season is full of vitality, which is the time when flowers and trees accelerate their germination.

On the rugged trail in Longzhong, the three riders were slowly walking side by side.

After a long time, Gao Qi who was on top of the divine horse Bailongyin was the first to say: "Uncle Zhi, Brother Dian!"

"I'm afraid you haven't felt the beauty of nature in peace like you do now for several years, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Dao answered, "Yes!"

"Since joining the army with Qidi, you have spent the whole day in bloody wars."

"Where is the mind to feel the scenery?"

Following Chen Dao's words, Dian Wei also nodded in agreement.

At this time, Gao Qi's face was full of contentment, and he said calmly: "May this world full of disputes be peaceful soon."

"In this way, we can dream of peace forever as soon as possible, and live a comfortable life of traveling around the mountains and rivers all day long."

As Sanqi kept chatting, Longzhong arrived soon.

At this time, Gao Qi and his party got off their horses and walked to show their sincerity.

…………

I saw a faint thatched cottage in Longzhong.

Walking in slowly, the thatched cottage is clean and tidy, without any weeds outside Longzhong.

Immediately, Gao Qi stepped forward gently and slowly, and knocked on the grass door.

After a long time, it was a book boy who came to open the door.

As Gao Qi explained his origin, the book boy told him that Mr. Zhuge was not here today, and that he was traveling with his friends to travel through the mountains and rivers.

Suddenly, Gao Qi encountered the same situation as Liu Bei Sangu in history.

Helpless, Sanqi had to go back the same way!
…………

Then, about half a month later, Gao Qi set off from Xiangyang again, and went to Longzhong to seek Zhuge Liang.

However, this time the book boy once again told Zhuge Liang that he was not in the hall and was going out to visit friends!

For a while, Gao Qi had no choice but to lead Chen Dao and Dian Wei away again.

In a moment, Dian Weiweng said: "We begged to see you twice, but Zhuge Liang avoided it on purpose."

"I'm afraid it's because he doesn't have real talent and learning, so he deliberately doesn't see him."

"In Wei's opinion, the young master should not come to Longzhong anymore."

Following Dian Wei's words, Chen Dao also nodded.

"No!"

"Zhuge Liang is a man of great sages, and he only asked to see him twice."

"It should be noted that the ancient King Wen of Zhou asked to see Jiang Taigong by the Weishui River several times."

"In the end, he impressed the grandpa with his sincerity, and the grandpa went out to assist him, and only then did he establish the 800-year-old world of Dazhou."

"At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times to ask Zhuge Kongming for advice."

"It was only later that the world became three-pointed, standing side by side with Cao Wei and Dong Wu."

For a while, Shu Qi gradually left slowly!

At this time, a young scholar with a goose feather fan suddenly came out of the thatched cottage.

It just said that this person silently watched the back of Gao Qi and the others leaving, and secretly said: "I don't know if you have the patience to visit again?"

…………

Soon, spring went to summer and Gao Qi went to visit Zhuge Liang for the third time.

Gao Qi, who was familiar with the road, and his party soon arrived at the Longzhong Thatched Cottage. At this time, the book boy told Gao Qi that Mr. Zhuge was taking a nap.

Hearing this, Gao Qi, Chen Dao and Dian Wei stood in front of the thatched cottage and waited.

About two hours later, the book boy invited Gao Qi into the study under Zhuge Liang's instructions.

…………

Seeing Zhuge Liang for the first time, Gao Qi was shocked by Zhuge Liang's appearance for a moment.

I saw that Zhuge Liang was eight feet tall, slender and tall, with a waving robe and a goose feather fan in his hand.

Although it's just a farmer's image, but the temperament of the whole body can't be concealed no matter what!

"Grassman Zhuge Kongming pays homage to His Royal Highness King Qi!"

Seeing Gao Qi walk into the study, Zhuge Liang took the lead in bowing and saluting.

Seeing this, how could Gao Qi make Zhuge Liang salute, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhuge Liang.

"Mr. Kong Ming, you are a celebrity in Xiangzhou, Gao Qi is just visiting you as an admirer."

"You don't have to be bound by your identity!"

Immediately, Gao Qi sat down with Zhuge Liang and started talking!
After a long time, Gao Qi seemed to have the right time, and took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Kong Ming, now our country of Qi is bordered by Xiangzhou, Jiangxia and Nanjun in the south."

"Plus the Xiangzhou and Nanyang counties that it has recovered now."

"Where does Kong Ming think our Qi country will develop in the next step?"

As Gao Qi brought the topic back on track, Zhuge Liang stopped choking immediately.

For a while, Zhuge Liang shook his goose feather fan and stood up, and the remnant walked between the screens, and slowly unfolded a map.

Looking impressively, it turned out to be a map marking the Thirteen Prefectures of Sui Dynasty.

…………

Immediately, Zhuge Liang shook the goose-feather feather fan lightly and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi, all the land of Jingzhou is now in the hands of Qi State."

"It so happens that Jingzhou borders the Central Plains in the north, Lingnan in the south, Bashu in the west, and goes down the river in the east to the hinterland of Yangzhou, Jinling."

"Therefore, this is one of the advantages of His Royal Highness Qi!"

For a while, Zhuge Liang was slowly analyzing the spread out map.

…………

What is Zhuge Liang's strategy for Longzhong?
