Zhuge Liang laughed and shook his head.
"No, this is exactly what an ordinary person should consider."
"What you said is absolutely correct. Even if it were me, I would probably do the same thing."
The subordinates shook their heads hurriedly, saying that people like military advisors are among the best, and of course they cannot be like these people.
Zhuge Liang didn't say any more. It didn't matter what others thought of him. He was not a person who cared about other people's opinions.
As for why I gave this example, it was just to draw inferences from one instance and let my subordinates understand this truth.
"Then if you look at it now, these small countries didn't have much strength before, but now their strength has greatly increased. Do they also want to squander it?"
The subordinates suddenly realized this and praised the military advisor's skill.
But he said that these small countries knew that the Dragon Kingdom had shocked them. Not only were they not afraid, but they felt unconvinced in their hearts.
They said that it was indeed the Dragon Kingdom, it was so powerful.
In fact, the rebellious heart is even more ready to move.
Zhuge Liang could vaguely feel that this matter was far from over. He did not want to use force unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang has locked himself in his room these days, thinking about this matter and whether there is any better solution besides force.
While I was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
Zhuge Liang was sure that the person knocking on the door was either Zhang Fei or Dian Wei. Because among so many people, only these two fools dared to disturb him at this time.
"Squeak-" the door opened.
As expected, two idiots came together.
Dian Wei was the first to speak: "Military advisor, I don't think we can continue like this. These small countries bully the weak and fear the strong. We must take good care of them."
Dian Wei also followed up and said: "That's right, military advisor, just let the two of us fight."
The two of them talked to each other, and Zhuge Liang finally had to agree. It's not because the two people are talking here, but because he carefully analyzed the situation.
A peaceful solution to the current situation may be impossible, and must be suppressed by force.
"You two get ready and deal with them in the shortest possible time."
Just when Zhang Fei and Dian Wei gathered their troops and prepared for a big fight, news suddenly came and they gave up the action.
Zhang Fei and Dian Wei looked at each other.
"How is this going?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Although these two people were a little dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything because this was an imperial edict issued by Xiang Kunlun himself.
It turned out that Zhuge Liang, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, waited until Zhang Fei and Dian Wei left before telling Xiang Kunlun about it.
Xiang Kunlun himself agreed, but he suddenly thought of a better way.
"Have them stop!"
Xiang Kunlun said a few words to Zhuge Liang, who nodded frequently, and then called Guo Jia over, and he took charge of the operation.
Zhuge Liang took Xiang Kunlun's order to investigate the specific reasons for the rebellion of those small countries.
Guo Jia was leading the crowd to conduct a military parade according to Xiang Kunlun's instructions.
Since a ceremony is going to be held, all small countries must participate.
Suddenly, everyone in these small countries was afraid, worried that Xiang Kunlun wanted to catch him all.
They really worried too much. Xiang Kunlun's goal from beginning to end was only one person - Liu Bei.
If they did not attend the ceremony, it would give Xiang Kunlun a reason to attack. They had no choice but to bring their troops to participate.
Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, had already found out the cause and effect and immediately informed Xiang Kunlun.
Xiang Kunlun sneered, this Liu Bei is really good at fluttering.
"Use all your strength to capture Liu Bei!"
Zhuge Liang mobilized his troops and wanted to capture Liu Bei. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei had now become the leader of the underground alliance.
Although this underground alliance does not have that much firepower, its biggest feature is that it has many informants.
So if you want to catch Liu Bei, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.
After thinking for a long time, Zhuge Liang decided to take the risk.
He deliberately let people release the news and expose their location, just to attract Liu Bei to take the bait.
But Liu Bei, this old fox, just refused to show up.
But Zhuge Liang could clearly feel that there were many more sneaky people where they were stationed after the news was released.
That must be the spy of the underground alliance. Zhuge Liang decided to add fuel to the fire.
He also asked all his men to put on makeup, so that everyone acted sickly and out of place.
Liu Bei observed for three full days and thought his chance had finally come.
"Everyone, listen to me, this is the best opportunity to make a move! Don't miss it again!"
Some people raised questions, saying that if this was the other party's plan, they would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
But Liu Bei didn't take it seriously at all: "So what if it's their plan? Xiang Kunlun is not here, and Zhuge Liang is just a mere person, I still don't take it seriously!"
What he didn't know was that Zhuge Liang hid more than half of the troops he brought, and they were not as few as they appeared.
When Liu Bei broke into Zhuge Liang's encirclement, he finally found that he had been fooled.
Just as he turned around to run, Zhang Fei appeared behind him.
"Where do you want to go? Do you want me to take you there?"
Liu Bei was captured alive. The military parade was also held as usual.
Looking at these emperors of small countries with evil intentions, Xiang Kunlun had a smile on his face.
"Everyone, I am very happy that you can come to participate."
"So, I have prepared a good show, and please enjoy it carefully."
Just as everyone was wondering if there was something in Xiang Kunlun's words, Liu Bei had already been taken into custody by Dian Wei.
Everyone's expressions changed in an instant.
"Everyone here must know this person, right?"
As Xiang Kunlun spoke, he took out the Tianlong City Breaking Halberd that he had not used for a long time.
The people below were talking a lot.
"What does this mean?"
"I guess he's just putting on a show for us."
Liu Bei's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and his blood pressure suddenly rose.
He swallowed carefully, feeling that Xiang Kunlun was full of murderous intent.
Did he really want to kill him this time
"Xiang Kunlun, oh no, brother Kunlun, actually there is a bit of misunderstanding between us."
"Don't be impulsive. Let me go. Everything can be discussed."
Xiang Kunlun didn't seem to hear Liu Bei talking, but asked: "Do you know how Cao Cao died?"
Liu Beixin said, I don’t know, and I don’t want to know either!
"If you two met underground, I wonder if it would be awkward for each other. Maybe it would be interesting."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tianlong city-breaking halberd slashed across Liu Bei's throat.
