Chapter 33 Fear of heights

Xingyuan Prefecture, Hanzhong, Nanzheng.

Wang Zhaoyuan lay on the bed with a dejected look on his face. He already knew his new name: Zhuge Liang.

Wang Zhaoyuan knew in his heart that this new name would be spread in Shu and even in the Central Plains, and his name, Wang Zhaoyuan, would also be "famous in history".

Look at the belt on the roof beam...

It was the twenty-first time he tied it up, and every time he tied it up, he was determined to die.

It is better to hang yourself and die than to live and be humiliated.

But every time I stepped on the stool and stretched my neck into the belt loop, my legs would tremble involuntarily.

He made an excuse for himself... He was afraid of heights and was not suitable for hanging!

Wang Zhaoyuan did not dare to think about death and immortality, thinking about the war in Bashu.

I wonder how the war is going?

There is a Jianmen Pass in Shu, so it should be able to resist the Central Plains army, right?

Drag it, drag it until the food and grass are exhausted, fight on multiple fronts in the Central Plains, and maybe retreat?

There was a trace of desire in Wang Zhaoyuan's eyes. If Zhongyuan really couldn't support it, he would have hope of living.

After all, he controls a huge secret.

After the defeat, Ma Renr initially wanted to take him with him to attack Lizhou.

However, Wang Zhaoyuan was hit hard on the head and was in a daze due to the stimulation of the defeat. Taking him with him seriously delayed the march and was placed under house arrest in Xingyuan Mansion.

Therefore, Wang Zhaoyuan, who was in Xingyuan Prefecture, did not know the movements on the front line, and did not even know that Luo Youdu was coming from the eastern front.

Judging from his strategic vision, the Central Plains soldiers and horses must be stuck at the dangerous sword gate.

Jianmen Pass cannot be broken by human power, and the few minor flaws have been sealed long ago.

Even though the soldiers in the Central Plains are elite and powerful, they can only look at Jianmen Pass and sigh.

While he was thinking wildly, Wang Zhaoyuan suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps.

His expression changed and he hurriedly pulled off his belt. He didn't want anyone to know about his inner fragility.

Liu Wensou strode into the house, looked at Wang Zhaoyuan who looked a little flustered, and said with a smile: "Is Brother Kong Liang okay?"

Wang Zhaoyuan knew someone well, the newly appointed chief of Xingyuan Prefecture, Shi.

The newly promoted top leader in Hanzhong came to visit him as soon as he took office, giving him enough face.

But Wang Zhaoyuan held back, put on airs, and spoke coldly.

It's the same now, Wang Zhaoyuan said: "As a prisoner under the rank, how can I be safe?"

Liu Wensou didn't take it seriously. If it were a general like Ma Renr, he would have slapped him away.

But literati have their own way of doing things.

Liu Wensou is a descendant of Liu Zhenghui, the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. His uncle Liu Chongwang served as prime minister during the Zhaozong period of the Tang Dynasty. His father Liu Yue served as Taichang Qing of the later Tang Dynasty.

Liu Wensou came from a family of officials, and he was a dignified and upright man with a magnanimous bearing.

Faced with Wang Zhaoyuan's sarcastic remarks, he did not lose his temper, but said kindly: "How can we judge heroes based on their success or failure in worldly affairs? I once read Brother Kong Liang's masterpiece in Bianjingdu. I especially couldn't put it down for the annotations of "Shangshu".

We have known each other for a long time."

Wang Zhaoyuan's expression softened a little.

Wang Zhaoyuan's ability to grow from a lonely and poor boy to become famous today has certain merits.

His literary skills were extremely solid, and for this reason, he was highly valued by Meng Chang and gave him the task of teaching the prince.

Wang Zhaoyuan still put on airs and said: "I have heard the name Liu Yongling. It's just that you and I have our own masters, so we should avoid suspicion."

According to his estimation, the Central Plains army must have been helpless against Jianmen Pass, so Liu Wensou looked for a fighting opportunity within himself.

Therefore, he has always maintained his reputation of loyalty and is waiting for a price.

If the conditions provided by the Central Plains are generous, it does not mean that we cannot help Luo to destroy Meng.

It's just that the name of betrayal has to be earned at a high price.

Anyway, Wang Zhaoyuan was not in a hurry. The danger of Jianmen Pass was unparalleled in the world. He did not believe in the strength of Zhongyuan and broke through Jianmen Pass.

Liu Wensou was secretly amused. In fact, he had heard about Wang Zhaoyuan's behavior these days.

and be cheerful with it,

Just want to extract the chips in his hand.

Liu Wensou always found it strange that Wang Zhaoyuan lost his troops and lost territory, which made Meng Shu fall into defeat.

Even if Wang Zhaoyuan becomes the target of public criticism in the temple, Meng Xuan will rush to do it with all his strength.

On the contrary, Wang Zhaoyuan would not be excused from time to time, which was an extremely rare situation.

Liu Wensou smiled calmly and said: "It doesn't matter that Meng Shu will perish soon. Brother Kong Liang doesn't want to die with the Meng family?"

Wang Zhaoyuan's expression changed suddenly, and then he regained his expression and said calmly: "Don't try to trick me, it's only been a few days? Even if you win Lizhou and face Jianmen Pass, what will happen?"

Liu Wensou shook his head regretfully: "Brother Kong Liang's wishful thinking of selling at a high price was miscalculated. To be honest, as Brother Kong Liang tells it, it was a trap set up by the imperial court from the beginning. Your Majesty sent troops to attack the Southern Han Dynasty, just to hide the truth. Going south.

The grain dispatched by the horse army was prepared for the destruction of Shu. When you were defeated, Your Majesty had already conquered the Three Gorges and entered Sichuan from Jingxiang. Now the army has passed through Suizhou and is approaching Chengdu."

"As for Gao Dutong, he came to Su Xiaodao and bypassed Jianmen Pass, and now he is also heading to Mianzhu and Chengdu."

"Two armies, numbering more than 100,000, will surround Chengdu."

He was obviously exaggerating, uukanshu www.uukanshu.com, but he was not too exaggerated.

This time, the Central Plains sent 50,000 troops, but the Shu soldiers could not help but fight. They collapsed in battle and surrendered after defeat.

As a result, Luo Youdu and Gao Huaide fought more and more troops, which totaled 80,000.

Wang Zhaoyuan's eyes were blank.

Liu Wensou said: "I came here today to tell Brother Kong Liang about the war situation because I want you to think about the future earlier. Once your Majesty takes Chengdu, you will have no chance to make a comeback."

Wang Zhaoyuan stopped and stepped back, finally sitting down on the bed.

Liu Wensou shook his head in disappointment and stopped talking.

Wang Zhaoyuan stared blankly at his leaving figure, his mind a mess.

In the evening, servants brought meals.

The two servants who delivered the meal put down the food boxes and left. The laughter of "Zhuge Liang with juice" could be heard faintly outside the house.

Wang Zhaoyuan was suddenly shocked, as if there was a bright light in the dark. This reputation is already bad enough, are you afraid of making it worse?

It's better to exchange some money and goods, hide your name, and go to a foreign country.

He strode out of the house, and the guarding soldiers were immediately alert.

Wang Zhaoyuan shouted: "I want to see Mr. Liu Wensou, and I have something important to tell him!!"

Facing Liu Wensou, Wang Zhaoyuan elaborated on the story of Meng Xuanci, Wanlao, and Zhezhui Ruibing admonishing Meng Chang, with the intention of forcing his father to give up the throne.

Of course, he covered up the fact that he contributed to the incident and regarded himself as a cooperating and innocent insider who did not participate in it.

Liu Wensou certainly knew the fishiness involved, and although he felt a little disdainful in his heart, he didn't take it seriously.

The following is not surprising in this era, not to mention that Meng Chang's extravagance is well known to everyone.

Meng Xuanzhuang's employment dream is nothing in this era.

But in the current situation, knowing this news has a different meaning.

Liu Wensou immediately left Wang Zhaoyuan and sent Meng Xuan to prepare Fu Nanxi to the front line.
