Zhuge Liang smiled and looked at Jiang Wei's confused expression.

He felt that he was really appreciating this young man more and more.

It was a big event that the emperor returned to Chang'an after two years. In the past month, officials in the city were busy, with all kinds of memorials, documents, signatures, and regulations flying all over the sky. Except for a very small number of people at the top of the military and political system, most of them were just driven away by these documents to work.

Only a very small number of people with precise thoughts have the ones that extract the really key from the complex and complicated information and connect them together.

It is rare for an official of the Six Hundred Stone who has experienced a whole year of adventure in the Western Regions and is still in the wedding leave to notice and be vigilant.

"Bjojo?Bjojo?"

Jiang Wei broke free from the silence: "Prime Minister, I'm listening."

"Boyou was not wrong at all. At this time, the emperor and the ministers of the court were all in Chang'an, but the army was empty and there were omissions in the defense along the river. However, this is the situation we specially created. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the Cao family to enter the throne."

"So that's it?" Jiang Wei suddenly realized. Then he scratched his head again and thought of the other side of the matter: "But... Prime Minister, isn't this a deliberate approach? Are you afraid that Cao will see the clues and be in vain?"

Zhuge Liang laughed again.

As the prime minister, he has countless official duties every day, and he has to meet countless people every day, and often explain, explain, correct, and repeat it again and again. Therefore, he can understand more than anyone how pleasant it is to talk to smart people.

Zhuge Liang got up and flipped through the thick document shelf piled by the wall.

There are many documents, some written on silk cloth, some used bamboo slips or wooden slips, some loose ones, and some tied up. It seems inconvenient to search. But Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry and moved some of the stacked files safely.

His movements were very soothing, and in conjunction with the sound of craftsmen knocking on mortise and tenon components in a workshop behind the mansion, he felt relaxed and natural, and everything was sure of indifference.

"Finished, here." Zhuge Liang spread a document and pushed it to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei took it in confusion, and after looking at the lines several times, he couldn't help but be shocked, and his cheeks twitched: "Are these people all the works of Cao Wei?"

Among these names, there were many backbone officials of important departments in Chang'an. Jiang Wei had heard of their names. One of them was even a permanent official in Chang'an by the Honglu Temple Sect. Today, the emperor mentioned the welcome arrangements mentioned by the emperor at the banquet. Since Jiang Wei noticed, the official would sooner or later.

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly: "On that day, Cao Pi took the initiative to lead his troops to return to Guandong and handed over Chang'an City. We naturally gave preferential treatment to the officials, people and the people who remained in Chang'an City. With the means of Cao, we will naturally arrange some loyal and reliable personnel to lurk in the city in order to act in secret. In recent years, the subordinates of the Sili School Captain have spent some time to explore. There are many things that can be confirmed, those that cannot be confirmed, or those that have not yet been revealed, and there are more."

Keeping these people in Guanzhong is like a sieve, leaking everywhere? Where can we hide information from all aspects? Jiang Wei asked questions when he opened his mouth, but Zhuge Liang continued:

"These spies may not be able to access complete military mobilization information like Berjo, nor may they be as smart as Berjo. And we can use it because of their enemies."

Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan: "Before, we have let Cao Wei know what they should know through these people, and prompted Cao Wei to make corresponding decisions. Now, the Cao family's attack on Chang'an soldiers has been halfway, and there is no possibility of turning back."

Jiang Wei was shocked: "Cao Wei attacked the Chang'an army and was halfway through? It turned out that their every move was under the control of the Prime Minister?"

"That's right." Zhuge Liang used the fan handle to scratch the map and said slowly: "Since Boyue asked about it, I won't hide it from you. Nearly two months ago, Cao's army had actually mobilized elite cavalry to the west under the guise of fighting against Sun's family in the east. The operation routes of their troops were divided into two north and south, with abundant supplies along the way. One team entered Bingzhou from Dai County, the other team passed through Lu County and Huguan. After the two teams merged, they entered Hedong together. Next, they would cross the river from Longmen and raid on Chang'an south."

As Zhuge Liang's strokes and strokes, Jiang Wei nodded repeatedly. He asked with a full heart: "How many enemy soldiers are there?"

"This force, a total of about 40,000 infantry and cavalry, including most of the elite soldiers of Cao Wei in Yecheng, and some of the Tiger Ben soldiers originally arranged in the Jianghuai River. In addition, the Xianbei Budu roots they recruited along the way, and the Huns Huchuquan tribe."

"These are naturally elites at the bottom of the Cao family, but I don't know who is the general who leads the army?"

"In order to ensure that this force can conquer Chang'an and crush our Han court, Cao Pi re-activated Cao Zhang, Cao Hong and other Cao clan generals, and also allocated famous generals such as Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Yan Xing to lead the troops. As for the Xianbei and Xiongnu people, we now know that the Xianbei chiefs who led the troops were the ones, and most of the leaders of the Xiongnu were Liu Bao."

Jiang Wei laughed in silence: "Uh... Prime Minister, you know very much!"

"So, Boyue just rest assured. Although Cao's army came, it is not worth fearing."

Jiang Wei was convinced and attended the meeting and bowed: "I am really worried. I have disturbed the Prime Minister. I hope the Prime Minister will not blame him."

"Where can you do it! Bojo, if you have any questions or ideas, I welcome you to come here at any time."

Jiang Wei said goodbye with peace of mind.

When I went out, it was already dark and it was almost curfew. The snow particles were covered with salt and it seemed to fall in the sky, making it colder. When I returned to my own courtyard, the Guan girl came out to greet her. When she saw Jiang Wei coming back, she couldn't help but be happy, and then complained: "Husband is just accompanying guests, why are she so late? I'm almost asleep!"

Jiang Wei only said that first the emperor held a banquet and then went to the Prime Minister's Mansion for something.

The Guan girl didn't care and asked again: "Is the fur I made warm? Is it majestic?"

Jiang Wei knew that his wife's female worker was very touching. Most of the fur was made by a maid, and his wife was the one who helped him. As for the fur itself, if used in the Western Regions, it would naturally be an excellent cold-proof product. However, in the early winter of Guanzhong, it was no longer as good as the Western Regions as water dripping into ice. The fur was so stuffy that Jiang Wei sweated several times. When he removed the fur, his whole body was steaming up to his head, like a freshly baked bake.

Jiang Wei was about to tell the truth, when he saw his wife tilting her bright red face and waiting for the answer with joy, he felt that her heart was about to turn into a pool of hot water. He said seriously: "This fur is so beautiful, warm and majestic. I have to wear it all winter."

"No need!" The Guan girl hit Jiang Wei.

She said, "I'll make one more. Two styles, you'll replace them."

"...Okay! Very good!" Jiang Wei felt that he was about to sweat again.

When this young couple was in love with each other, Zhuge Liang took a car to the palace.

The palace has its own palace ban. The emperor once issued a special edict, stating that Zhuge Liang would neither stop nor inform him, and would introduce him directly. However, Zhuge Liang had a respectful personality and still walked through the process in a straightforward manner.

When he entered the inner hall, Liu Bei had already changed into regular clothes and leaned against the couch in the warm pavilion and felt sleepy.

Seeing Zhuge Liang coming, he supported the handrail of the couch and wanted to get up: "Kong Ming, you came too late, I fell asleep!"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly took a few steps forward and held Liu Bei's arm: "How is Your Majesty's body? Are you a little better?"

Liu Bei shook his head.

He had just forced himself to meet the guests. After a social event, he felt dizzy and painful and sore all over. Because he wanted to maintain the emperor's demeanor, muscles were thrusting on his shoulders, back, waist and spine, and his calves and feet became even more swollen. With the shoes and socks removed, he saw that his skin was tight and shiny and his blood vessels were purple. After returning to the uterus, he supported his feet with soft pads. Several eunuchs took turns to massage, and only then could he rub the blood vessels smoothly.

"Not good. The medical officer said that it is wind and cold that enters the body and is difficult to remove. I guess it will take a lot of effort to walk this winter, let alone fight on horseback."
