Chengdu.
When Cao Cao raised tariffs, Liu Bei's ministers were in chaos.
Many people expressed their opinions in the court, and most of them suggested that Liu Bei should increase the price appropriately to deal with Cao Cao's deliberate revenge.
"Your Majesty! Cao Cao's move is a deliberate attack! We must not sit idly by and watch!"
Xu Jing speaks righteously and is an opinion leader no matter where he goes.
"Your Majesty, if you wantonly raise the prices of Shu brocade and Shu salt, you will inevitably be slandered by Cao Cao."
"At that time, the people of the Central Plains will think that the king is unjust and has no regard for the life and death of the people for the sake of a small profit."
The person who spoke was none other than Jiang Wan. He didn't seem to refute Xu Jing, but he seemed to refute every word.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu and Jiang Gongyan each have their own reasons. I hope your Majesty will consider it carefully."
Qin Mi's words were in vain, and Liu Bei couldn't help but give him a look of disgust.
I wanted to ask Zhuge Liang for help, but I found that Wolong rarely went to court recently, and it was said that he was planning something.
Fortunately, Jiang Wan can still deal with internal affairs and does not require Liu Bei to worry too much.
"I think the Crown Prince and Master Zhuge have already taken measures for this matter, so we don't have to worry!"
If you are unsure about domestic affairs, ask Zhuge; if you are unsure about foreign affairs, ask Liu Mang!
Liu Bei is already prepared. No matter what your court officials ask, I will stand still and take the blame for my own son!
When everyone heard that Liu Mang had a countermeasure, they all felt relieved.
As long as the prince is here, all problems can be easily solved.
Inside a thatched cottage in Chengdu.
Zhuge Liang wrote letters one after another, and in front of him knelt a man with a face as pure as jade.
"The great kindness of Master... Huang Hao will never forget it!"
Huang Hao did not expect that he would be disliked by Liu Mang, but appreciated by Zhuge Liang, who specially summoned him to Chengdu and said that he would be entrusted with important tasks.
For a person with a physical disability like him, once he gets older, what awaits him is not a warm ending with both children and children, but a life of loneliness.
Huang Hao has long been prepared. Even if he cannot leave his name in history, he will still be infamous for thousands of years!
He wanted to leave his name in the history books so that his trip would not be in vain!
"Just get up and speak."
Zhuge Liang was still writing, and Huang Hao stood up after hearing this, still nervous.
"Huang Hao, you have completed many difficult tasks in Feiyu."
"This matter... is of great importance. Can Liang entrust it to you?"
Zhuge Liang stopped writing, and then poured tea for Huang Hao himself. Huang Hao was flattered by this act of intimacy.
He was ruthless in Feiyu Center, and the things he did were even looked down upon by his colleagues.
But Huang Hao didn't care, he just wanted to climb up, but Liu Mang's disgust for him almost ruined everything.
"No matter what the Grand Tutor orders, Huang Hao will not give up even if he dies!"
"But this move may make you notorious for thousands of years and be reviled by future generations!"
Zhuge Liang carefully observed Huang Hao's face, and found that the other man's eyebrows stretched, seeming to show a hint of joy.
"Don't worry, Tai Tu! As long as he can make contributions to the great Han Dynasty, Huang Hao will not hesitate to be reviled by future generations!"
"Okay! The task I give you is to betray the Han Dynasty and defect to Cao Wei!"
What? !
Huang Hao felt a little guilty. When Liu Mang abandoned him, he really had such thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang made such an arrangement, which made him quite uneasy. Could it be that the master saw what he was thinking?
"Don't worry, now Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and the King of Hanzhong will not send troops without permission."
"The military generals have stopped fighting for the time being. For us and other counselors, the war has just begun."
"There are three people in total you have to contact."
Zhuge Liang pushed all the letters in front of Huang Hao, "This is my plan for you. Just open it after you defect."
"Your main task is to weaken the Cao thief and alienate his family members."
"Cao Pi only inherited Cao Cao's viciousness, but not his broad mind."
Huang Hao nodded slowly. He had served as a scout for many times, especially in terms of intelligence, and was the best among Feiyu.
With a handsome face, just a little rouge and gouache can make anyone confused between male and female.
Only this time, he never expected that Zhuge Liang would ask him to betray the big man.
"Huang Hao, if your life is threatened, there is nothing wrong with you even if you really defect to Cao Cao."
"Big man, I am the only one who knows your mission! Huang Hao, are you ready?"
"If you accept this task, what awaits you is a narrow escape from death and ruin."
Huang Haosi thought about it and then showed a wry smile.
"Sir, Huang Hao is an eunuch. If Feiyu hadn't recruited him, he would have lived a life of being discriminated against by the village."
"Feiyu has been kind to me, and I will repay him as a soldier of the country!"
"No matter how dangerous it is, I will face it calmly. Please rest assured, sir."
"Although Huang Hao is an eunuch, he also has the heart to revive the Han Dynasty!"
Huang Hao leaned down and bowed again, and Zhuge Liang personally helped him up.
"Huang Hao, the first plan is to make a wedding dress for you to surrender to Cao Cao."
"If you can assassinate important officials of the Han Dynasty, you will definitely be appreciated by Cao Cao!"
"In Chengdu, only Liang is considered young now!"
Uh-huh!
Zhuge Liang put the dagger in Huang Hao's hand, and then stabbed him directly.
Huang Hao's eyes were full of disbelief. Although the Wolong in front of him was a weak scholar, he felt extremely terrifying!
What kind of will did he have to do this for Liu Bei and his son?
A name that will leave a lasting legacy?
No!
Make great achievements?
No!
Only the grace of knowing you!
"Go quickly!"
Zhuge Liang reluctantly reminded him, Huang Hao nodded blankly, and then took the letter away.
From today on, he, Huang Hao, is a traitor to the Han Dynasty!
"There's an assassin!"
"Teacher Zhuge was assassinated!"
"The assassin hasn't gone far yet, seal the city gate quickly!"
Huang Hao was like a frightened bird. Fortunately, thanks to his extraordinary skills and the time Zhuge Liang gave him to leave, he was able to escape smoothly!
After hearing the news of Zhuge Liang's assassination, Liu Bei came to visit him personally and even brought the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
"Fortunately the wound is not deep, otherwise the Taifu's life would be in danger!"
Liu Bei was sitting next to the bed, holding a medicinal soup in one hand and a spoon in the other, blowing the medicine for Zhuge Liang.
"The king's body of ten thousand gold...how can I condescend..."
"Kong Ming! What are you talking about? I was the one who visited the thatched cottage three times that day to invite you out of Longzhong, so I naturally have to take good care of you!"
Liu Bei helped Zhuge Liang up and then carefully took medicine for him.
Zhuge Liang was moved, but he could not tell anyone this secret.
"I am where I am today, and Mang'er is where I am today, it's all thanks to sir!"
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Looking back on that day, if that brat hadn't encouraged my third brother to burn down Wollongong, sir, he might not have been willing to see us!"
Ahem!
Zhuge Liang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Liu Mang instigated Zhang Fei to set fire. If he didn't come out, the crouching dragon would turn into a roasted dragon!
"My lord, the past is too painful to look back on..."
