The setting sun had already set, and the night gradually shrouded the Wei army camp, but the lights in the Chinese army tents were still brightly lit.A large red lacquer box was quietly placed on the handsome table, and all the generals sat around the tent, pointing and whispering.Shu general Deng Zhi stood aside calmly, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.After a long time, Sima Yi coughed lightly, nodded slightly, and signaled his soldiers to step forward and open it. The big vermilion lacquer box was slowly opened, and what jumped into Sima Yi's eyes was a shiny black lady "Jianmaoguo", braided with slender ponytails.Placed under this "sheared heroine" is a crimson brocade blouse.

In an instant, there was silence in the tent of the Chinese army——Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Hu Zun, Niu Jin, Huang Hua, Wei Ping and other generals looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Zhuge Liang's purpose was for presenting Sima Yi with this set of women's clothing inexplicably at this moment. "General Sima, there is also a letter from Prime Minister Zhuge in this lacquer box." Deng Zhi said neither humble nor overbearing, "However, I wonder if you have the courage to read this letter publicly for everyone to hear Woolen cloth?" "Why don't you dare?"

Since it was a letter written by Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi would read it aloud in public to avoid suspicion.With a face like still water, he slowly stretched out his hand to pick up a silk script from the big box, slowly opened it and read: From Mr. Sima: The world has been turbulent and turbulent for more than 30 years, and the universe has not been settled because of the many wars in the Quartet.When Liang came to the east this time, he wanted to solve the difficulties for the people, rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, and secure the world with a single battle!And Zhongda is a great general in the confrontation, leading the people in the Central Plains, he doesn't want to put on toughness and sharpness to fight against Liang, but is willing to guard the earth nest, blindly shrinking and avoiding knives and arrows to protect himself, but how is it different from a mediocre woman ?Liangxin was very disappointed, and sent a special envoy to bring the scarf and scarlet clothes.If Zhongda does not go to battle, there is no need to say more, and please accept it to show the infallibility of the name; if Zhongda is still shameless, and still has a man's heart, please approve the document quickly and go to the battle on schedule !

Zhuge Liang sincerely When all the generals in the tent heard this, they all shouted "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" In the meantime, Master Sima leaped forward with a single stride, and put his saber on the back of Deng Zhi's neck! "Stop!" Sima Yi yelled with a livid face, immediately covering up the noise in the tent. Deng Zhi, who had a white blade and neck, didn't seem to be afraid, just looked at the people in the tent with a sneer, without saying a word. Sima Yi slowly picked up the "scissors" and looked at it over and over for a while, then said lightly: "Good stuff! This ponytail is beautiful in color and the hand-weaving technique is very delicate. It's a 'gift for women' The commander-in-chief gladly accepted it!"

"General! No!" Hu Zun, Huang Hua, and Wei Ping shouted loudly. Sima Yi stopped them with a move of his right hand, and then glared at Master Sima: "Zi Yuan! Put away your saber—please sit down, Mr. Deng!" Master Sima clenched his steel teeth, retracted his knife and sheathed it resentfully, retreated to the corner of the tent, buried his head and sulked. Sima Yi, however, was all smiles, arched his hands towards Deng Zhi, and said: "Master Deng, your prime minister gave me a 'gift of a woman' this time, I really don't feel the humiliation but sees it as an honor. "

The corner of Deng Zhi's mouth twitched, and he said with a sneer: "Deng really didn't expect that General Sima, a majestic man of eight feet, would be willing to pretend to be a woman! This is such a strange aspiration!" As soon as he said this, all the Wei generals in the tent seemed to have been slapped heavily, and their faces were all crimson. Sima Yi was not moved at all, and slowly stroked his beard on his chest, and said softly: "Mr. Deng, you don't know something - there is a saying in the tactics of soldiers, 'When deploying troops, you must move like a rabbit and be as quiet as a virgin." This commander is waiting in full force, waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of, standing in an invincible position, and not disturbing your prime minister in many ways, this is the best policy, why do you need to provoke? My box of scarlet clothes, where is I scolding this commander? It is clearly praising this commander for using troops to march in battle, and he is "quiet as a virgin"! Tell me, why is this commander so angry when he encounters this today? What's the shame?"

When Deng Zhi heard this, he was secretly startled, this old thief is as thick-skinned as a city wall, invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, he really is so powerful!He settled his thoughts a bit, but still sneered with sarcasm: "After listening to what you said, General Sima, you are indeed very different from ordinary people! The humiliation of ordinary people, but the king regards it as honor; the shame of ordinary people , and you regard it as a reputation! Deng almost thinks that General Sima, you have got some kind of "lost mind"..." Sima Yi laughed and waved his hands, causing all the generals in the tent to retreat.

In the huge Chinese army tent, only Sima Yi, father and son, and Deng Zhi were left.In the silence, Sima Yi said leisurely: "Qian donkeys are poor, and if they fail to humiliate others, they will take their own humiliation—Kong Ming must be very uncomfortable to be bored on that high Wuzhang plain?" Deng Zhi listened, and laughed coldly: "General Sima himself is bored in the camp and regards himself as a woman, but he is not ashamed. I'm afraid he won't feel better?" "Master Deng has such an 'iron mouth', amazing! Awesome!" Sima Yi laughed loudly, "Master, go outside and get a jar of 'Hundred Flower Fragrance' wine! For my father, I must respect Mr. Deng for a few glasses!"

"Father! This..." Master Sima was still angry, hesitantly refused to agree. "Father, let the boy get it!" Sima Zhao hurriedly said when he saw it. "No need!" Sima Yi raised his hand and stopped Sima Zhao. At the same time, he looked at Master Sima sternly, and his tone became cold, "Hurry up and get the wine! Didn't you hear what you said about being a father?" Master Sima had no choice but to stomp his feet, left the tent, and brought in a large wine jar from the outside. Deng Zhi watched Sima Yi pour a glass of wine for himself with cold eyes, and thought to himself: This Sima Yi is really a generation of extraordinary people!Today he was humiliated by the prime minister and himself, yet he was able to calm down, neither angry nor irritable, and even drank wine with himself, this kind of patience is amazing!As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help feeling a deep admiration for Sima Yi, and gradually restrained the cold and arrogant look on his face.

Sima Yi toasted him three times in a row, and said with a smile: "Master Deng, you don't know something. In fact, this handsome and your prime minister met in the thirteenth year of Jian'an in the previous dynasty! If you want to talk about the handsome appearance Elegant, graceful and noble in temperament, light and unrestrained in demeanor, your prime minister is a first-class talented scholar and beautiful woman! He is the outstanding man of "male and female appearance" - this set of scarlet clothes, worn on He is the one who shines with style and looks so wonderful!

"Hehehe... I never thought that before the two armies faced each other, he would still have the leisure to use these women's clothes to amuse me. Sigh! I can't compare to him. I am so tired every day. Die! No, do you see that the dark circles under my handsome eyes are much heavier? Last night, my handsome stayed up until the end of the second watch..." Deng Zhi was eager to win for a while, and said casually: "The prime minister of my family is also like the reincarnation of Zhou Gong. Rewards without abuse, punishments without regrets, extreme justice!" After hearing this, Sima Yi nodded slightly, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Good! Good! Good! 'Don't let it go, don't forget the distance', everything is in the middle, and everything is appropriate-Kong Ming is like Duke Zhou! How about the daily food intake? Anyway, I am so tired all day long that I only eat three or four bowls of barley rice at most..." Deng Zhi's complexion turned ashen, and he said sadly: "Yes! My prime minister has a lot of things to do every day, and he doesn't have enough food—only two or three bowls of mung bean porridge for each meal..." "Two or three bowls of mung bean porridge? Hahaha... I never imagined that Kong Ming's Taoist cultivation had already reached the level of 'bigu qi' like Zhang Liang, the seeker! It's amazing! It's amazing!" Sima Yi's eyes flashed, and he stroked his beard. He laughed and said, "Actually, he should be able to drink a few more cups of chrysanthemum tea or lotus leaf tea every day. These can calm his heart...Of course, he eats so little, and he can also eat some hawthorn and wolfberry. Give yourself a spleen and appetizer..." When Deng Zhi heard about it, cold sweat broke out on his forehead - Sima Yi was able to see the prime minister's condition at a glance, it was really amazing. Sima Yi continued to say deeply: "Master Deng, after you return to Shuying, you must personally convey this sentence to the old friend of Kong Ming on behalf of the commander - the foundation of a person's life and career is entirely based on the health of the heart; Friends, you have little food but many things, and you are weak and burdensome, how can you last? Everything depends on self-love and self-respect!" When Deng Zhi heard this, her heart trembled violently, her throat tightened, but she couldn't answer. With a smile on his face, Sima Yi put another piece of venison in Deng Zhi's bowl with his chopsticks, and said, intentionally or unintentionally: "Master Deng, let's eat first... I heard that your prime minister has a long history. Yang Yi and Wei Yan, the general who conquered the North, have always been at odds, and the situation is difficult to balance. This commander believes that if your prime minister is here, you should be able to calm down; if something unexpected happens to your prime minister, the two will definitely fight Because of the chaos, how will you deal with the aftermath? Don't take it lightly!" After Deng Zhi heard this, she was secretly surprised - this old thief's eyes and ears are so good?He even found out about Yang Yi and Wei Yan's rivalry?He hurriedly replied solemnly: "How perverted are General Sima's words? Is it the behavior of a benevolent gentleman to provoke chaos for his own benefit? Everyone in the Han camp knows the disagreement between Yang Changshi and General Wei." , It all stems from a public heart, and there is no selfish desire to fight for power and profit. Even if my prime minister is not around, the two of them will definitely be able to put aside their previous suspicions, join hands and go to the national calamity together without any other intentions!" Sima Yi let out a long laugh: "Master Deng, why bother to cover up so much? You and I know the inside story of this matter, so why bother to argue about it? The commander-in-chief also hopes that everyone in Yizhou will be united and united. Nothing changed. After all, Kong Ming is an old friend of this Commander, and this Commander has no choice but to take the responsibility of reminding him of the rules and regulations of old friends." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and said: "Today Kong Ming gave me a box of 'Gifts for Women', as the saying goes, 'come without reciprocation'—this commander also wants to return him a generous gift. Zhao'er , let the chef finely chop up the wild boar that the commander-in-chief shot and hunted in the wild forests of the southern plains yesterday, and then hand it over to Mr. Deng to take it back, please Prime Minister Zhuge enjoy it!" "'Food is too much but work is too much, and the body is weak and heavy, how can it last?" Sima Yi said it well!" Zhuge Liang stared quietly at the pieces of bright red wild boar meat in the food box, and murmured talking.How could he not have heard the "overtones" in Sima Yi's words?Isn't the Shu Kingdom behind him just like what Sima Yi described - "short food but heavy work, weak body but heavy responsibilities"?If the Northern Expedition fails this time, its backlash will reverse and crush the entire Kingdom of Shu! A wry smile slowly crossed his lips: "I never imagined that after so many years, Sima Zhongda still knows the truth so well!" "Prime Minister! According to my subordinates, Sima Yi has ulterior motives—the wild meat he sent may be highly poisonous." Yang Yi said from the side, "Please allow your subordinates to call for a military doctor to open them up and examine them carefully. one time……" Zhuge Liang turned his eyes, stared at Yang Yi and said, "Yang Changshi, do you always like to speculate on other people's motives with the greatest malice? Sima Yi is certainly a dark and cunning person, but I'm afraid he doesn't bother to use such poisonous plots at this time." This despicable method is to damage your reputation, right? Liu Nuo, take it down and ask the chef to wipe it with seasoning, and cook it in a pot. After all, today I want to taste the meat and have an appetizer..." Yang Yi was embarrassed by Zhuge Liang's training.Wei Yan looked at his distressed look from the side, and laughed out loudly.Yang Yi could hear clearly, and turned her head to stare at him bitterly.As soon as the eyes of the two people met, sparks flew from each other. Zhuge Liang slowly sat back on the padded couch, thinking in his heart, Sima Yi sent wild pork this time, clearly demonstrating against the truth!He showed that he is in good health, old but not aging, and can leap horses and hold bows to hunt and kill hogs when he is busy with official duties. How can I, Zhuge Liang, a sick body with a hyperactive heart and spleen, be able to afford it? "I really want to take a good rest." Zhuge Liang closed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "Bo Yue, you stay here." Yang Yi, Wei Yan, Deng Zhi, Wang Ping, Ma Dai, Gao Xiang and others retreated in response. There was silence in the camp, so quiet that Jiang Wei was inexplicably terrified. "Bo Yue..." Zhuge Liang opened his eyes and looked directly at him, and asked slowly, "Why do you think Sima Yi has the courage to continue to confront our Great Han Heavenly Army in the eight hundred li Guanzhong Plain?" "The person who the old thief Sima relies on to fight against our great Han Tianjun is because he has spotted the defect that our army's food and grass supply cannot be maintained for a long time." Jiang Wei replied thoughtfully, "He just wants to fight us again. The protracted war of attrition, like the last Northern Expedition, forced us to retreat without food..." "What if my great Han Heavenly Army is also stationed in Wuzhangyuan to implement the strategy of self-support?" Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed brightly, "How will Sima Yi respond?" "Hmm... Your Excellency Prime Minister is really resourceful and resourceful!" Jiang Wei was shocked, and he was extremely pleasantly surprised, "If you implement this 'military settlement for self-support' strategy, it will not only alleviate the suffering of the people in Yizhou in supplying food, but also save the people in Yizhou. Self-sufficiency in growing food in this pass is really a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone! In this way, no matter how long you and Sima Yi procrastinate, you don't have to worry..." Zhuge Liang continued to follow his own train of thought and continued to ask: "Then, what will happen to Sima Yi under the premise that the word 'drag' has no effect? ​​Boyue, think about the truth again..." Jiang Wei thought for a moment, and his eyes flashed: "My lord, if Jiang is in this predicament, Jiang will have to change his plan - maybe he will concentrate on waiting for an opportunity, and imitate Cao Cao's actions of burning Wuchao back then. , Organize a team of dead soldiers to rob the opponent's granary!" "That's right! Sima Yi has been pushed into a hurry, and probably he can only do like you." Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan gently in his hand after hearing this, and finally showed a rare smile on his face, "Bo Yue, it seems that in the future this The position of guarding the vassals of the Han Dynasty should be entrusted to you. You have a very clever plan just now, very good! Very good! Tomorrow the Japanese Prime Minister will issue an order to temporarily allocate 10,000 infantry to the west of Wuzhangyuan and the bank of the Wei River Planting grain and farming... "At the same time, I decided to stockpile the Yizhou grain and grass transported from the Xiegu Road in batches in the upper valley at the southern end of Wuzhangyuan, and carefully manage it as the main warehouse of grain and grass in the rear of our Han Tianjun..." "The Prime Minister cleverly set up a strange situation, and the clothes are perfect. I'm afraid that the old thief Sima will definitely fall into the trick this time!" Jiang Wei clasped his fists and praised loudly. Zhuge Liang looked at Jiang Wei with twinkling eyes, and thought to himself, Boyue!do you know?This was the final blow that Truth concentrated his life's strength on Sima Zhongda!The truth is that I want to do my best to get rid of Sima Yi, the number one enemy of the Shu Han, for you in my lifetime... The truth can only pray that the man will not die, so that the plan of the truth can finally achieve great results...
