"But Yueying, why do we have to fight to the death? Although I, Zhuge Liang, are confident, I am by no means blind. Now our Qinchuan army of 90,000, plus the 20,000 reinforcements led by Zhe Lanying, has reached 110,000. As long as I close the mountain
If you can't get out, how can you fly across, Yueying? You can't fly across for half a month, and the Sichuan army is short of food and grass, so how can we continue?"
Zhuge Liang sighed: "I know Yueying that you are dedicated to serving Liu Zhang, but I don't know what makes Liu Zhang worthy of your service. At best, Liu Zhang is just a self-righteous arrogant, but I respect your choice, Yueying.
But do we have to fight for our lives? Now that the world is divided into four parts, only Liu Zhang and my lord belong to the clan with the surname Liu. They should unite to conquer the east. In this way, you and I, Yueying, can help the Han Dynasty together without having to fight each other.
? Why not?
Yueying, you have set a date for the second half of the month to capture Qinchuan. Liang persuades you as a friend. First, you are unclear and do not know the current situation. Second, you are unwise and do not know what is most beneficial to the Sichuan army.
Therefore, Yueying, with your wisdom, you should go and persuade Liu Zhang that if the Sichuan army and the Liang army join forces, both sides will benefit, but if they fight, both sides will lose. I hope the Lord of Shu will choose carefully."
Huang Yueying smiled softly: "Kong Ming, every word is still the same as when Longzhong Wolong was in the past. The world is in control. Our general is so powerful. He has already given Zhang Fei a taste of arrogance. Kong Ming, I, Huang Yueying, don't mind letting me."
You try it once."
Zhuge Liang stared at Huang Yueying for a long time and sighed deeply: "Yueying, you are a stranger to me. Why? Is it because of what happened to Wang Xu's family on the bank of Jingshui River that made you look down on me, Zhuge Liang?"
That incident has always stayed in Zhuge Liang's heart. When he learned that Huang Yueying recovered, it became a knot in his heart. Zhuge Liang could not care about what anyone thought of him, but Huang Yueying could not.
Huang Yueying chuckled softly: "Kong Ming, I never believed you were that kind of person. I listened carefully to the story of that day from my lord and the Sichuan Army soldiers. If what I expected is correct, Wang Xu's wife and children are still here.
In your hand?"
Zhao Yun looked at Huang Yueying in surprise. Huang Yueying revealed the mystery. Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu were just because Zhuge Liang promised not to do anything to Wang Xu's wife and children. It was just a means to deal with Wang Xu. No matter what the result was.
They will not harm Wang Xu’s wife and children.
That's why Zhao Yun didn't object to doing this, and that's why Ma Yunlu went to Xiqiang to deceive Wang Xu's wife and children.
Those executed on the high platform that day were just the family members of three Hun horse bandits captured by the Liang army.
Zhuge Liang was startled. Was he carried away by his concern for Huang Yueying? It was such a simple question. He thought Huang Yueying couldn't guess it.
"Yueying, you are still as wise as before." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"It's good to know, Qin Chuan, I will get it for your lord."
After Huang Yueying finished speaking, she was about to leave. Before coming, Huang Yueying thought she had a lot to say to Zhuge Liang, but when she was face to face, she realized that she felt the same as Zhuge Liang, very strange, feeling very strange in her heart, and she didn't want to say anything.
Looking at Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying felt extremely calm. He was a former friend and a current rival. That's all.
"Yueying." Zhuge Liang stood up and Huang Yueying stopped.
"Do you still remember that year during the golden season, when the moonlight faded away and the prosperity faded away, when the fallen flowers brushed my fingertips, did they also touch your temperature?"
Zhao Yun and the soldiers of the Liang Army wondered why Zhuge Liang said such "literary" words. Although Zhuge Liang was a scholar, he was cheerful and cheerful and never acted like a woman. These words came from his mouth, and the soldiers of the Liang Army felt that it was untrue. If it weren't for
No one would believe what Zhuge Liang said if they heard it with their own ears or relayed it by others.
Except for Hu Zi, the Sichuan soldiers snickered and raised their eyes to see Zhuge Liang full of banter. From time to time, low whispers were heard. Although they were inaudible, everyone knew that Zhuge Liang was cancelled.
But Zhuge Liang didn't care and just stared at Huang Yueying's back.
Zhuge Liang has been free and uninhibited in his life, with only two bonds, one is his family, and the other is Huang Yueying. The former is the eternal secular world. He is unable to resist, and it seems that he has never thought of resisting.
The latter is willing to be restrained.
Huang Yueying stood motionless opposite, with her back to Zhuge Liang. Zhao Yun saw Zhuge Liang's fingers slowly pinching into the palm of his hand.
Since Zhuge Liang became the military advisor of the Liang Army, Zhao Yun has been the general with the most guard responsibilities and the closest general to Zhuge Liang. He has always seen Zhuge Liang chatting and laughing, free and easy, and knowing everything well. Zhuge Liang's attitude of guiding the country has long been ingrained in Zhao Yun's heart.
.
But Zhao Yun clearly felt at this moment that Zhuge Liang was nervous.
If Huang Yueying has no feelings about these words that she and she fell in love with when she was fifteen years old, then the two people are really strangers, and all their emotions have become the past, and from now on, they are just enemies.
Seeing love turning into hatred, Zhuge Liang found it difficult to accept, could not accept, and did not dare to accept.
Huang Yueying did not move, lowered her head, seemed to be thinking about something, seemed to be hesitating, hope slowly rose in Zhuge Liang's heart.
Although Zhuge Liang did not know that Huang Yueying defected to Liu Zhang because of his teacher's orders, Zhuge Liang knew that Huang Yueying defected to Liu Zhang not because of personal feelings.
In other words, the two of them are their own masters and enemies, but privately, Huang Yueying still has feelings for herself and is still her fiancée.
As long as this is the case, Zhuge Liang feels that enough is enough. No matter what the outcome of the battle is, even if one of them dies, Zhuge Liang feels that he has no regrets.
And Huang Yueying's hesitation just shows this, she still cares about herself.
"Do you still remember that year during the yellow flower season, when the moonlight faded away and the prosperity faded away, when the fallen flowers brushed my fingertips, did they also feel your warmth?"
She still remembered these words she said when she was young, and the two of them were not so unfamiliar.
Huang Yueying turned around, and Zhuge Liang suddenly felt cold. Huang Yueying's face did not change at all. She looked at Zhuge Liang and said softly: "Kong Ming, please return the marriage certificate to me."
"Return the marriage certificate to me." The seven words, in a calm tone, hit Zhuge Liang's heart like a heavy hammer. His head buzzed, and he felt like the world was spinning.
Huang Yueying looked at Zhuge Liang quietly. With Zhao Yun's help, Zhuge Liang managed to stabilize his body.
"Yueying, what did you say?"
Huang Yueying took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and looked at Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, it's impossible for us now. Return the marriage certificate to me. In this way, no matter who wins or loses in the war, who lives or dies, there is no difference.
Scruples.”
"Yueying, why do you have to mix business and private matters? We each have our own masters and fight on the battlefield. Is it because of this that we have to abandon our feelings? My brother, uncle, and cousin and I each take sides.
Huang Yueying looked at Zhuge Liang quietly: "Kong Ming, you don't have to give up your family ties with your relatives, because your family ties are still there, but it's really impossible for us. If I have feelings for you, I won't want that piece of paper
Marriage certificate.
Kong Ming. Perhaps, if you had not left Longzhong during the wedding, I would have married you, even if I still surrendered to the lord. I would still be your wife.
But there are no ifs. I understand now that the good impression I had on you was really just friendship. If I can't meet someone I love, it would be best for me to find a friend who has similar interests, cares about me and gets married.
choice.
But you left after all, and when I rushed to Longzhong, only the ashes of the thatched cottage were left. Now, the blind affection that I had before is becoming clearer and clearer. It was just friendship, and I still retain this friendship.
Kong Ming, no matter whether we are hostile or not, whether you kill me or I kill you, I, Huang Yueying, regard you as my best friend, but you are just a friend, please return the marriage certificate to me."
When she came to see Zhuge Liang with a lot of clues, but found that her mood was as calm as water, Huang Yueying had already confirmed her feelings for Zhuge Liang.
In fact, I have never really been tempted in front of Zhuge Liang. I like to talk with him about the way of governing the country and talk about world affairs with him. I think he is a good person.
Willing to marry him.
But it was just a good feeling, shared interests, and the good feelings of close friends. There were not so many twists and turns. I couldn't tell the difference, and maybe I just got married like that.
But now, when the two confront each other, Huang Yueying has clearly felt how much resistance there will be in her mind if she wants to convince herself to become Zhuge Liang's wife.
Zhuge Liang's face turned pale, and he lost all his energy in an instant. He looked at Huang Yueying with no one else in his eyes, and murmured: "Is it because of Liu Zhang?"
Huang Yueying was silent, Zhuge Liang smiled miserably, slowly took out a piece of silk from his arms, and handed it out with trembling palms. The soldiers handed the silk to Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying took it, bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang, and took it with her.
The Sichuan soldiers left.
"Whoever laughs again will be killed."
Huang Yueying's voice came from far away, and Zhuge Liang's vision suddenly went dark.
"Strategist, strategist."
"Sir, what's wrong?"
………………
Zhuge Liang was in a coma for several hours. When he woke up, he only felt dizzy. The sting in his heart did not disappear with the coma. The moment he regained his consciousness, a heartbreaking pain hit him again.
He got up weakly and swept away the military affairs books piled on the desk. These books, which he usually read and reviewed carefully, were extremely boring today.
Zhuge Liang lay on the bare desk and cried.
Ah San walked in hesitantly: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Zhuge Liang cried quietly for a long time. Ah San had never seen his husband so sad before, and his heart was in one place.
Zhuge Liang raised his head and said to Ah San: "Ask Pang Tong to come over...bring ten jars of wine."
"Sir..." Ah San hesitated. Zhuge Liang personally issued the ban on alcohol. Besides, except for celebrations, Zhuge Liang rarely drank.
"Go quickly." Zhuge Liang yelled.
Ah San ran out in a hurry, while Zhuge Liang lay weakly on the table and stared blankly at the camp.
Xu Shu, Pang Tong, and Yueying, the four of them have been together since childhood, studying together, talking together, reciting poems, and having fun together.
Xu Shu is sincere, Pang Tong is arrogant, Zhuge Liang is free and easy, Huang Yueying is bright and humble.
Xu Shu was full of talents but anxious about everything. Pang Tong was arrogant but cherished friendship deep down. Zhuge Liang knew that Pang Tong's arrogance was actually just for show, so that people would respect him more for his bad appearance.
Huang Yueying is always very easy-going. When the three people are talking with high interest and vying to express their opinions, she never interrupts. She just smiles and pours tea and water for the three of them. Only when she is asked, she will hit the nail on the head.
Every time I go to Huangjiawan and see her, she is always tinkering with some weird things. Xu Shu, who wants to be a member of the family, respects Huang Yueying very much, but he doesn't know how to do it, let alone learn from it, let alone the arrogant Pang Tong.
explain.
Only my free and easy self is interested in Huang Yueying's inventions and often asks for advice. Now that I think about it, I don't know whether I am interested in her inventions or in her as a person.
When he proposed marriage to Huang Chengyan, Huang Chengyan was extremely happy. Neighbors all thought that Huang Yueying was lucky and that he suffered a big loss. There was even a rumor: "Don't be like Kong Ming when choosing a wife, you will get an ugly girl from Ah Cheng."
But how do these people know that they are the happiest in their hearts.
There are many outstanding people in Jingzhou, and there are many beautiful girls, but they are not as talented, considerate, hard-working, wise, and sunny as Huang Yueying.
Things are changing, things are changing, people are changing.
Xu Shu died. He was defeated and died in ancient Xiangyang. He was full of talent and learning, but he didn't even find the lord he valued, so he died in frustration.
Forced by his family, he had to seek refuge with Liu Bei and began his official career from then on.
As for Yueying, she said, "Return the marriage certificate to me." When she returned the marriage certificate, she seemed so far away from her, endlessly far away, and the stars in the distance were vast.
Pang Tong became more and more distant from me, and I couldn't even guess what he was thinking. But now, with the four of us growing up, I could only talk to him about my concerns.
Pang Tong and Jiang Yin walked in from the gate of the camp, with the same calm expressions. They were completely different from the arrogant Pang Tong who showed off his talents without hesitation.
Several soldiers behind Pang Tong were carrying the wine jar, and Zhuge Liang could barely hold himself up.
…………
Zhu Rong and Yan Gong Que'er knelt before Liu Zhang reluctantly. Liu Zhang issued a punishment order, deducting all the rewards they deserved and waiting for their punishment. Huang Yueying walked in from the tent door with an indifferent expression.
"You guys go out."
Zhu Rong and Yan Gong Que'er were about to withdraw, Liu Zhang said to them: "Send Que'er off."
"Lord..."
"Go quickly."
"yes."
As soon as Zhu Rong walked to the tent door, Liu Zhang stopped her: "Xueyi, thank you."
Zhu Rong turned around in surprise.
Liu Zhang said: "Although you violated military law, acted without permission, and nearly suffered defeat, I know you had no choice but to do so. The Nanzhong people are different from the Wuxi people. They just surrendered and lacked food and grass. If you can't solve it, you may end up like the Xixi people."
