Yu Yi then remembered that Kong Ming had already set out to fight on the Northern Expedition. He was originally the idea of fighting on both sides, but because of the corruption problem, he had not marched for a long time. He was worried. Suddenly, a soldier came to report that Zhang Bao was seriously ill and was already in the third update.
He died at the time. Yu Yi had to announce his resignation and went to see Zhang Bao's situation in person. He ordered the grand burial of Zhang Bao and the funeral was held according to the king's specifications. Not only that, Yu Yi accompanied Zhang Nu to attend the whole process.
After seeing Zhang Bao off, Yuyi began to plan to go to Jingzhou and prepare to launch the Eastern Expedition secretly.
Suddenly the soldiers came to report that Kong Ming had returned from the front line and was ill.
It turned out that after defeating the Wei army, the Shu army was about to take advantage of the victory, but suddenly Kong Mingbu calculated a divination and observed the fall of the star in the west, and fell into a state of hesitation. When the incident of Zhang Bao's death reached the front line, Kong was obviously very serious.
Surprised, suddenly a mouthful of blood was squirting out, and finally fainted.
The pursuit naturally stopped. Everyone hurriedly invited the best local doctors to treat them. After a few days, Kong Ming felt a little better, so he called Dong Jue, Fan Jian and others into the camp and ordered:
During this period, I always felt a split headache and could not handle military affairs at all. Now, it is meaningless to go to the Northern Expedition. It is better to return to Hanzhong first. I will report the situation to Your Majesty myself and think of other solutions, but this matter must be
It cannot be revealed. If Sima Yi knew that I was sick, he would definitely lead the Wei army to attack." So he issued an order to secretly pull the village at night and return to Hanzhong.
After Kong Ming left for five days, Sima Yi received the news and sighed: "Kong Ming is really a magical trick, I can't compare!" So Sima Yi left his troops in the camp and divided his troops to guard all the critical passes, and he himself
The teacher returns.
When he learned that Kong Ming had returned, Yu Yi and civil and military officials went out to the city to greet him and asked about the condition. The doctor judged the cause of the disease as excessive fatigue, and as long as he had a good rest, he could organize his troops and horses to recuperate in Hanzhong.
Yu Yi went to the Prime Minister's residence every day and told about the Black Airflow and Li Yi. In the end, what he wanted was the Qin Prime Minister's affairs.
Kong Ming was very surprised after hearing this and asked, "If this is the case, what should we do?"
Yu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "My ministers asked me to come to you to ask for a solution, but you asked me first." After that, both of them laughed.
Kong Ming analyzed: "If evil forces can invade our bodies at will, it will be too harmful to us and we must find a way to solve it. When I led the Shu army to capture Meng Huo seven times in the past, I heard about a place in the Nanman.
There is a magical mountain spring water that can resist evil and purify the soul. Why don’t Your Majesty try it?”
Yu Yi pointed at Kong Ming with his finger and smiled and said, "It turns out that you have a solution!" So he ordered the soldiers to go deep into the Southern Barbarians and wrote a letter himself to ask for the mountain spring water.
After receiving the letter, Meng Huo knew what the new emperor meant and received many gifts. He was very happy and summoned the barbarians in the cave to discuss what to do.
A barbarian minister suggested: "Mountain spring water is a holy object of the Southern Barbarians and cannot be given to others easily. Moreover, there are many people in Western Sichuan, and mountain spring water cannot solve the fundamental problem."
Meng Huo nodded and sighed: "I know all this too, but we have a good relationship with Western Shu and have been favored by them many times. I really can't repay you. Now that Western Shu is in trouble, we can't stand it and die.
Save!"
At this time, a barbarian minister stood up, bowed, and said, "I have a better way."
Meng Huo was very happy after hearing this and asked quickly: "What are you good ways to do it? Tell me quickly!"
Reply: "I heard that Queen Zhurong has a sister named Zhuri, who looks like a god descending to earth. Now, a barbarian native was possessed by evil spirits, and he was like crazy. He bites everywhere all day long. After Zhuri knew about it, he went there.
The family just stroked his head with their hands and forced out the evil spirits in his body. Another native, living in the west, suddenly encountered evil ghosts. After learning about it, he went to the local area to sit quietly and only saw the gods appear in the world.
, The king can betroth Zhuri to the new emperor of Western Shu. First, he can form an alliance forever, second, solve this problem for Western Shu, and third, he cannot move the holy spring water!"
After hearing this, Meng Huo felt it made sense and was about to express his opinion. Suddenly, his wife Zhurong was furious and said, "I only have one sister, how can I betrothed out easily? If you want to speak nonsense, I will be the first to kill him!"
After hearing this, the minister who made the suggestion seemed very scared and hurriedly retreated, as if he had not mentioned the suggestion just now.
Meng Huo seemed helpless and advised: "Madam, you should go and ask your sister Zhuri's idea. If she refuses to agree, we will find other solutions."
When Zhurong saw the king come forward in person, he had to agree and went to his sister Zhuri's room in person.
Although Zhurong and Zhuri are sisters, their personalities are completely different and their appearance is the same. Zhurong is sister, with dark skin, thick muscles, and proficient in riding horses and archery. He can send the top five martial arts in the Southern Barbarians. He has a rough temper and hangs with men in the military camp all day long.
It can be said that he has no feminine characteristics. As for Zhuri, he has a delicate skin and tender flesh, gentle speech, clear eyes, and a tiger-skinned shirt.
At that moment, Zhuri saw his sister coming and thought she was bringing something strange. She was very happy and welcomed her out, only seeing her sister Zhu Rong's face was sad.
Zhuri poured a glass of water, handed it to his sister, and asked with concern: "Is it the king bullying you!"
Zhu Rong shook his head and said, "Where did he dare?"
Zhuri muttered: "In terms of martial arts, there are few sisters in the Nanman people, and the king has never bullied her. Why is her sister frowning!"
Zhu Rong looked at her sister Zhuri, and saw her innocent look, she couldn't bear it and sighed: "Today we are discussing affairs in the cave, the minister suggested that you present you to Western Shu and betroth the new emperor to help eliminate evil
.”
After hearing this, Zhuri sat down and cried, "I won't go!"
Zhu Rong suddenly stood up and said angrily: "I'll go and explain it to the king now, so that they can't think about it!"
Zhuri suddenly calmed down and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhurong and asked about the whole process of the incident. Zhurong told the situation again.
Zhu Ri knew the importance of mountain spring water to the southern barbarians and could clearly distinguish which one was more important, so he said to Zhu Rong: "Sister, I am willing to marry the new emperor, but there is one condition!"
Zhu Rong said: "Don't force yourself. If you don't want to do this, even if the king comes in person, it will be useless!"
Zhuri just smiled slightly and said, "For the sake of the Southern Barbarians, I am willing to go to Western Shu and marry the new emperor, but he also wants to follow the rules of our Southern Barbarians to marry me personally and withstand the test."
Zhu Rong understood her sister's intention and said with a smile: "You are still smart!" So she went to report this idea to Meng Huo. After hearing this, Meng Huo felt it was reasonable, so he asked someone to write a reply letter according to that meaning, and whip it quickly.
