Chapter 53 Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and named Nan Ye sent troops to Xiliang 7
Nan Ye was stunned when he heard that his personal guards came to report to Zhuge Liang. Just now, Zhuge Jin said that she would beware of Zhuge Liang, but she didn't expect him to come so soon. However, no matter how you guard against calculation behind it, it is still an ally on the surface, and Nan Ye is busy asking Zhuge Liang to come in.
Zhuge Liang was still handsome. After entering the hall, he smiled and saluted Nan Ye and the generals. Nan Ye knew that Zhuge Liang had the ability to fight against Confucianism, and he was not interested in learning from Sun Quan in front of Zhuge Jin. Instead, he asked directly, "What's wrong with Mr. Kong Ming?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I'm here to thank the National Division for borrowing the military charm and returning the military charm of Nanjun."
After Nanye captured Nanjun, it was agreed to lend a military charm to Zhuge Liang. Zhao Yun once told Zhou Yu that he would send someone to ask Nan Ye about the authenticity of the agreement, but in fact, he sent someone to send a military charm to Zhuge Liang. However, Nanye didn't expect Zhuge Liang to use this small Nanjun military charm to call out Xiangyang people to take Xiangyang.
This Nanjun military charm belongs to Cao Cao, and it is useless for Nan Ye to take it. Although it was lent to Zhuge Liang at that time, Nan Ye did not intend to let Zhuge Liang return it. After all, Zhuge Liang's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain was invalidated when it was used indiscriminately. At this time, Zhuge Liang came to return the army solemnly, and Nan Ye guessed that this was just an excuse for Zhuge Liang to find himself. I'm afraid there was something else.
Nan Ye knew that he was not Zhuge Liang's opponent in fighting for wisdom, so he didn't want to give Zhuge Liang a chance and pretended to be very generous and said, "It's not worth mentioning trivial matters. That military charm is useless to me, so I will send it to Mr. Kong Ming as a souvenir. My husband must have worked all the way here, so I asked him to bathe and rest for a while, and then set up a banquet for him after I broke up.
Zhuge Liang saw that Nan Ye did not want to talk to himself and smiled and said, "Is the national division discussing the attack on Cao?"
Nan Ye didn't want to say more, but he couldn't stand Zhuge Liang's initiative to ask questions, so he had to cherish the words like Jin Shao and said, "Exactly!"
Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "If the national teacher has this intention, it's just right!" My lord is also planning to advance. If the two armies advance and retreat together, the Cao army will not be able to take care of each other at the beginning and end.
Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang are very familiar with each other. Seeing that Nan Ye did not want to say more about the flaws, he asked, "Isn't Xuande Gong going to go?"
Zhuge Liang said, "My lord is the herdsman of Yuzhou, and naturally he goes north to Yuzhou. Where is the national division going to advance again?
Nan Ye was a little embarrassed to cry or laugh when he heard what Zhuge Liang said. Liu Bei, the herdsman of Yuzhou, was still sealed by Cao Cao. Liu Bei did have the title of Liu Yuzhou, but he had never owned the land of Yuzhou. Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhuge Liang used this as a reason to make a soldier to give Liu Bei a righteous name.
Zhuge Jin heard that Zhuge Liang was really ambitious and said, "The national division is also discussing sending troops to Yuzhou. The virtuous brother can go back and tell Xuandegong not to let the two sides clash."
Zhuge Liang was not angry but happy when he heard the words: "My lord is worried about the small number of soldiers. If the national division wants to attack Yuzhou together, we can divide the land equally. Or the national teacher will go to Yuzhou, and I will take the official.
Zhuge Jin didn't expect that there would be an equal division of Yuzhou. Nanyang and Xiangyang are connected to Yuzhou. If the two families march at the same time, they may really get half of each other. If this not only hinders Liu Bei's plan to go north, but also can't attack all the soldiers and horses. It's better to attack elsewhere. As for replacing Yuzhou with Sili, it is even more inappropriate.
Nan Ye doesn't want to have a conflict with Liu Bei at this time. If Zhuge Liang doesn't come to discuss, he can fight anyway. Since Zhuge Liang comes to talk about cooperation, it will be boring to compete with Yuzhou again. It's better to concentrate on Si Li. So Nan Ye said, "Since Xuandegong wants to take Yuzhou, I will take Sili. Cao Jun occupied the land of eight states, and we don't have to fight for it.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "What the national teacher said is very true! Our fight will only make Cao Jun happy. On the contrary, only when we work together can we get more of Cao Cao's land. In addition to thanking the national division, I also want to borrow some soldiers and horses from the national division to fight against Cao. I also hope the national division will agree.
Nan Ye really didn't expect Zhuge Liang to crawl on his nose and face. Nan Ye made concessions without competing with Liu Bei in Yuzhou, and Zhuge Liang even wanted to borrow troops. Nanye may still consider borrowing soldiers, but Liu Bei has never returned it, and he has never returned it from Jingzhou. Nanye is worried about this credit record. So he directly refused and said, "If Xuande wants to take Yuzhou, I will take it. If there are no soldiers and horses, I will take it. Mr. Kong Ming wants to borrow my soldiers to take Yuzhou for Xuandegong, which is like borrowing chickens to lay eggs. I will never agree. Besides, the sword has no eyes. If there are casualties on the lent soldiers and horses, how can Mr. Kong Ming return them?
Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard the words: "No! Not! The national teacher blamed me by mistake. Liang borrowed troops from the national division not to attack the city, but to defend the city. What's more, I don't borrow for nothing, but mortgage first and then loan, just like the national teacher's Qianzhuang lending out.
Nan Ye felt that Zhuge Liang had brought a lot of surprises to himself. He even knew about mortgage loans. It seemed that Zhuge Liang had a lot of dealing with the money bank he opened. Nan Ye couldn't help saying strangely, "Which city is Mr. Kong Ming going to guard and what kind of mortgage?"
Zhuge Liang glanced left and right and said, "This matter is of great importance. Please ask the national teacher to retreat."
Nanye's room is full of his own people, and there is no need for it at all. He said, "Mr. Kong Ming said bluntly, they are all my confidants here."
Zhuge Liang said, "My lord wants to use Jiangxia and Xiangyang as collateral and borrow soldiers to guard Jiangxia and Xiangyang. As for the number of soldiers and horses, it doesn't matter as long as the national division guards the second county.
The generals in the hall were shocked to hear this and couldn't help whispering. What does Kong Ming mean?" Isn't this sending the second county to the national teacher?" Is there any fraud in it?
Nan Ye couldn't understand what Zhuge Liang meant by doing this. He frowned and asked, "What does Mr. Kong Ming mean?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and did not explain, but pointed to Pang Tong and Jia Xu, who were also laughing, "The national teacher can ask Shi Yuan or Mr. Wen He to solve the puzzles."
Jia Xu was low-key and didn't like to fight for merit, so he pushed Pang Tong. Pang Tong spoke bluntly and was not polite. He walked to Nan Ye and explained in a low voice.
After hearing this, Nan Ye couldn't help nodding, and then he knew that Zhuge Liang was using anti-guest-oriented. This plan is not aimed at Nan Ye, but the eldest son Liu Qi. As long as Nan Ye cooperates, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
Although Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi with Sun Quan and Nan Ye, he had a weak foundation and was unable to control too much territory. If he wanted to occupy the whole territory of Yuzhou, he had to do his best. However, in this way, Jiangxia and Xiangyang will be empty. Both places are close to Jiangdong. Sun Quan is not very friendly to Liu Bei and is likely to take the opportunity to attack the two places. From Liu Bei's point of view, he will not suffer losses if he loses the land of two counties. However, Liu Qi may not be willing to change. After all, Jingzhou is the ancestral property of his hometown. However, Liu Qi's soldiers and horses did not come out, and Liu Bei could not eat Yuzhou. This has become a dead knot.
