There is a heavily guarded building complex south of Chengdu Palace City, which is the core of the current Han court.

At this time, in a public room in the Prime Minister's Mansion, a middle-aged man with an eight-foot-long and very beautiful appearance was standing by the window and looking up at the night sky. The feather fan in his right hand slowly swayed on his left shoulder as he breathed. A pair of deep and divine eyes were faintly shining with the light of wisdom, as if he could see through everything in the world.

This person is Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty who is famous today, the Sili School Commander, and the Marquis of Wuxiang.

In May this year, Prince Liu Chan ascended the throne, and immediately asked Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to open a government office to govern the affairs, and asked Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to decide on all matters of military and national affairs. Therefore, the importance of the Prime Minister's Office at this time even exceeded that of the palace. For a moment, the Prime Minister's Office became the core of power of Ji Han, and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang himself became the essential first person of Ji Han.

"Prime Minister, it's late at night and it's cold. You can't stand by the window for a long time!" A scholar in his thirty years old walked to the window and said cares about Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly when he heard this, and did not turn around and said to the person who came: "It's young, why haven't you been going to rest so late?"

It turned out that the person who came from Ma Su and Ma Youchang, who came from a famous family in Jingzhou. He had just moved from the prefect of Yueli to serve as the Prime Minister and joined the army. He was deeply relied on by Zhuge Liang, so he could enter and exit the Prime Minister's public room without notice.

Ma Su also smiled: "Hasn't the Prime Minister not asleep either?"

Zhuge Liang didn't answer, turned his head and looked at Ma Su for a moment, and laughed at the same time.

"You Chang, you!"

When he was still living in seclusion in Longzhong, Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang had a good relationship with Ma Su's brother Ma Liang. The two of them had similar ambitions and were as close as brothers. The five Ma Liang's brothers were all talented, especially Ma Liang's talent, because his eyebrows were white. At that time, everyone in the village said: "The Ma family has the best white eyebrows." All the five Ma Liang's brothers used the word "Chang" as the character "Chang". Ma Liang's character Ji Chang was ranked fourth, and Ma Su was the youngest, and his name was Youchang. Later, both of them entered the same camp to assist the late emperor. Ma Liang was also respected by the late emperor. During the Eastern Expedition, he was entrusted with important tasks to recruit Wuxi Man. Wuxi Manqu was the commander of the Wushu Manqu. Unfortunately, the late emperor was defeated in Yiling, and Ma Liang died for his country because of great events.

After hearing the news, Zhuge Liang was heartbroken, so he took care of Ma Su as his elder brother. In addition, Ma Su was extremely talented and could hit the nail on the head whenever he talked about military affairs. After the opening of the government this year, he was transferred to the Prime Minister's Office as the army, and he valued him very much.

When he saw Ma Su coming to persuade him, he couldn't stand by the window anymore, and invited him to the desk and sat down and asked, "Is there anything urgent for Youchang?"

Ma Su said: "I saw that there were still lights in the prime minister's room. I knew that the prime minister had not yet rested, so I came here to take a look."

"By the way, I met Bo Song just now, and he asked me to pass on a message. My wife had already returned to the house last night. She had something to tell the Prime Minister and asked when the Prime Minister would be able to go home?" Ma Su thought of this and quickly brought the words.

Zhuge Liang held his forehead with his hand and said, "Oh, I forgot that Xijun is coming back in the past two days. You Chang replied that I will find some time to go home tomorrow." Ma Su nodded immediately.

When I return home tomorrow, I will be punished by Xijun. It seems that I will go home early tomorrow. Bosong is the same as this child. Since I come to pass the message, I should tell me personally. I would also ask about the situation at home first and I have to let the young man lead the conversation.

However, Zhuge Liang also knew that in order to avoid gossip, he had already told his family that they would not come to the Prime Minister's Mansion if there was no major matter. Bosong was calm and strictly followed his father's words, but this child could not understand what urgent matters were. His mother was angry, which was considered an urgent matter.

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head. He and his wife had a deep affection. Although they could no longer spend time together as they did in Longzhong before, the tacit understanding between the couple was still there. He could roughly think about what they would say when they came home this time.

"By the way, Youchang, when will Bo Miao come back?" Zhuge Liang changed his mind and talked about state affairs with Ma Su.

When Ma Su heard the Prime Minister's question, he was shocked. He came late at night, not just to talk about state affairs with the Prime Minister, and to make suggestions.

"There is no definite news yet, but Deng Bomiao set out for Eastern Wu in early August. The news sent back half a month ago said that Sun Quan was willing to see him, and it should be soon."

Zhuge Liang turned around and looked at the territory map of the Han Dynasty hanging on the wall behind him and nodded: "I hope Bo Miao can be safe all the way back. This time he made Wu related to the affairs of Nanzhong."

In response to the Southern Central Rebellion that broke out this summer, although I did not immediately send troops to quell the rebellion, it does not mean that I ignore it.

Li Zhengfang Su had a good relationship with Yong Kai. After the rebellion broke out, he immediately asked Li Yan to write a letter to Yong Kai to explain his pros and cons. But he knew that this move might not be easy to persuade Yong Kai to turn around, but just tried his best. As expected, the thief was unmoved after getting the letter, and even wrote a letter to tempt Li Yan, who was really unrepentant.

In order to give the rebels another chance, avoid using war and stop the war, Zhang Yi was ordered to go to seek revenge for the prefect. Unexpectedly, Yong Kai was so crazy that he tied Zhang Yi to the Eastern Wu, but he still had no idea of ​​life and death.

Although both actions were not effective, the collusion between the rebels and the Eastern Wu was obvious, and Sun Quan was the biggest reliance of Yong Kai and others.

Sun Quan, Sun Quan, you are so thief-hearted.

When the late emperor withdrew his troops to garrison Baidi City, you sent an envoy to ask for peace. The late emperor Yibin Tian, ​​you started to make small moves again, coveting my southern central area, and trying to repeat the old story in Jingzhou. Is it so easy for me to be destroyed by you?

On the eve of the Battle of Red Cliff, haven’t I analyzed the general trend of the world for you? The Cao thief has occupied seven or eight out of ten in the world. The Sun and Liu families will benefit when they fight, and two will hurt when they fight. The two families will jointly retreat. If they can form a tripod, they can become a tripod. If they advance, they can annex the world. After the Cao thief is eliminated, wouldn’t it be better to fight for the world by their own ability?

Zhuge Liang was also speechless about Master Wu Sun Quan and did not understand the current intention of this person, so he sent Deng Zhi to the Eastern Wu. One was to explore the intention of the Eastern Wu, the other was to reiterate the intention of the two families, cut off the arm and support of the rebels, and the third was to retrieve Zhang's family. At this time, the great man could not bear the loss of a talent.

Ma Su also knew the importance of Deng Zhi's trip and comforted him: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, Deng Bomiao will come back with the result we want."

He remembered the main purpose of coming tonight and asked softly: "I wonder what the Prime Minister's strategy is to pacify the rebellion in Nanzhong now?"

After the Nanzhong Rebellion, Ma Su had been studying the situation in Nanzhong for many days and had a general idea in his mind. He came tonight to be ready to express his thoughts to share the Prime Minister's worries.
