In the second year of Zhangwu in Shu Han, Liu Bei fought with the Xianbei and Xiongnu coalition forces in Wuzhangyuan. The two sides were anxious for 20 days. The Jie tribe suddenly broke out from behind, occupied Xianyang, and headed straight to Chang'an. They were attacked from both sides. Liu Bei retreated back to Chang'an, and then the three Hu army surrounded Chang'an City.

Inside Chang'an City.

"Shi Yuan, are you saying you want to send someone to Chengdu for rescue?" Zhang Fei asked.

Pang Tong nodded: "That's right. There are still 100,000 troops in Shu and hundreds of generals. Besides, Kong Ming is resourceful. As long as Kong Ming leads his troops in person and attacks the Hu people from both sides, he will definitely win."

"Shi Yuan, but now that Hu people are sieging Chang'an City, how can they send people to Chengdu for help?" Zhang Fei asked.

"The three generals, the Hu army besieged the city, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to fight out, but General Zilong must be able to do it!"

"Shi Yuan, no, this is too dangerous!"

"Three Generals, tomorrow you can bring a soldier out of the West Gate and pretend to break through to attract the attention of the Hu people. General Zilong will break through the South Gate and take advantage of the situation to break through. With General Zilong's martial arts, you will definitely be able to break through the siege."

On the second day, Zhang Fei led his troops out of the west gate and pretended to break through. He was indeed intercepted by the Hu army. Zhao Yun took this opportunity to break out of the south gate, successfully broke through the siege, and went to Chengdu to find reinforcements.

Day after day, in a blink of an eye, the soldiers of the Sanhu had been surrounded by Chang'an City for nearly a month.

Over the past month, the Hu people had carried out several tentative sieges, but none of them succeeded. The city walls of Chang'an City were tall and solid, with abundant supplies in the city, and millions of arrows. In addition to the large number of Shu soldiers, the Hu people had sieges several times, but they did not achieve much success except for leaving some corpses.

The successive siege was unfavorable, which caused the Hu people to temporarily stop the siege and instead began to siege the city.

Now the Hu people surrounded the west, south and east of Chang'an City, leaving the north of Chang'an City. However, the north of Chang'an City is the Wei River. Even if the Shu army breaks through the north, it will be blocked by the Wei River.

The Jie people and the Huns had a feud. At that time, the Jie people were slaves of the Huns, and the Huns abused the Jie people a lot, and the Jie people suffered a lot in the hands of the Huns. Later, when the Jie people broke away from the Huns' rule, they also killed many Huns. In order to avoid fighting between the Jie people and the Huns, now when setting up camps, the Xianbei people deliberately separated the Jie people from the Huns, so that the Jie people and the Huns were on both sides, while the Xianbei camp was in the middle.

However, even so, the Huns were still worried about the Xianbei people, so Liu Bao still sent people to monitor the Jie people's camp day and night, fearing that the Jie people would do some small actions.

"Zuo Xianwang, I found out!" A general under Liu Bao ran in. It can be seen that Liu Bao's face was full of grief and anger.

"What news was found?" Liu Bao asked hurriedly.

"King, those Jie people were burned by Ma Chao in Liangzhou before. Originally, the Jie people were not enough to support Yongzhou, but the Jie people arrested many civilians and relied on eating human flesh to support Yongzhou."

"Nonsense! I've known what's new about what you said!"

It is no secret that the Jie people used human flesh as military rations to reach Yongzhou. The Huns were so concerned about the situation of the Jie people, so they had already found out that the Jie people had to reach Yongzhou by eating human flesh.

"The Zuoxian King, there are more than these! Among the people captured by the Jie people, not only Han people, but also Xianbei people, Qiang people, Di people, and we Xiongnu people!" said the general.

"What did you say? We Huns are there?"

"Zuo Xianwang, you can't be wrong. Look at this, this is what I found from the pile of bones poured out by the Jie people. This kind of knot was made by us Huns."

Liu Bao took the knot and looked carefully. It was indeed a unique method of knotting by the Huns.

"Yes, this kind of knot is indeed only tied by us Huns... but just relying on a knot..."

"Zuo Xianwang, there are more than one, I have many more here! These are found from the pile of corpses! And I also found these things." The general said, and took out a large handful of knots from his arms, all of which were unique to the Huns. In his other hand, the general held several small ornaments carved from his bones. Judging from the style and carving techniques, Liu Bao immediately judged that these small ornaments were works of the Xianbei people.

At this time, Liu Bao had already believed what the general said, and the Jie people really arrested many Huns as military rations.

A strong sense of anger arose from Liu Bao's heart. Liu Bao's eyes widened and said viciously: "This group of damn slaves should have killed them all at the beginning..."

"Zuo Xianwang, let's order all our troops to kill us immediately to avenge our tribe!"

"Wait!" Liu Bao suddenly called out the general, and then spoke, "The Jie people's troops are no less than us now. Just kill them like this, and it is difficult to win."

"What should we do? We can't let the tribe members die in vain!"

"Hmph, of course I won't let my tribe die in vain! Don't forget that the Jie people have also captured a lot of Xianbei people and want to turn against the Jie people. We alone cannot do it. Naturally, I will recruit Xianbei people. I will go to find Ke Bineng now."

The Xianbei Kebi Neng camp.

"Zuo Xianwang, what you said is true? That guy Shi Yong really dares to arrest us Xianbei people!" Ke Bi Neng asked in surprise.

"Shanyu, how could I, Liu Bao, deceive you! And I have evidence, look at these." Liu Bao said, taking out the small jewelry made of animal bones, and then continued: "These are found by my people from the pile of bones thrown by the Xianbei people near Xianyang."

"These are indeed objects of my Xianbei people!" Ke Bi Neng took a breath of air conditioning.

Ke Bineng also knew the feud between the Huns and the Jie people. When Liu Bao first came, Ke Bineng first believed that Liu Bao deliberately fabricated it to deal with the Jie people. However, when he saw these unique handicrafts of the Xianbei people, Ke Bineng had to believe that those Jie people really ate a lot of Xianbei people.

Ke Bi Neng took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said, "Zuo Xianwang, this matter is of great importance. I think it would be better to investigate it in detail. Besides, this matter is related to my Xianbei clan, so I still need to discuss it with Bu Dugen."

Chengdu.

Adou finally returned to Chengdu from Nanzhong. When Adou arrived in Chengdu, he realized that Zhuge Liang had also rushed back to Chengdu from Hanzhong, and it had been three days since he arrived.

"Prime Minister, why are you here?" A Dou asked immediately when he saw Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan in his hand and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry about Hanzhong. I have sent Li Yan and Li Zhengfang to guard Hanzhong and coordinate the overall situation. Li Yanzhi's talent is not inferior to Yu Liang, and he will definitely be able to ensure that Hanzhong is fine. On the contrary, the Hu people entered the pass and His Majesty was trapped in Chang'an City. This is the top priority. Liang rushed back for this matter."

When Adou saw the faint smile on Zhuge Liang's face, he knew in his heart that the old fox must have thought of a solution, so Adou asked: "The Prime Minister must have a solution in his mind."

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded, then suddenly changed the topic and said, "Your Highness, you did a good job in this southern expedition. The Southern Barbarians have always been a major problem for our Shu area. Although the imperial court had attacked the Southern Barbarians several times and were able to achieve results every time, this was always a suppression of people with power and could not last long. Therefore, after the army left, the Southern Barbarians rebelled again. To fight against the Southern Barbarians, the attack on the heart should be the best and convinced the Southern Barbarians. This is the method of long-term stability."

Zhuge Liang said, a trace of seriousness suddenly appeared on his face, and then continued: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, conquering the world is different from governing the world. The Qin people were good at fighting and the First Emperor was wise and powerful. In ten years, they unified the world and subjugated all directions to stop the chaos in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but the Qin Dynasty died in the second lifetime. In the past, Emperor Gaozu established his country, and his country was poor and the people were in poverty, and he was defeated by the Huns, but the Han Dynasty has been ongoing to this day. Does Your Highness know why?"

At this time, A Dou also understood that Zhuge Liang was teaching himself the principle of governing the country, so A Dou hurriedly said, "Please give me advice."

"The way of the Legalists is to be practiced in the pre-Qin period. The way of the Legalists is to be in troubled times, so the reforms of the Shang monarch in the pre-Qin period became strong. However, the Qin law was strict, and although it was the way to strengthen the country and the army, it was not the way to govern the country!"

"Then may I ask the Prime Minister, what is the way to govern the country?" A Dou asked hurriedly.

"The way of great governance? Hahaha..." Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed, and then shook his head helplessly: "I don't know what the way of great governance is."

"The Prime Minister doesn't know either?"

Zhuge Liang wrinkled it. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly spoke: "If I had to say that I want a country where the people are rich and healthy, the government is harmonious and foreign enemies are not invaded; on weekdays, the people can eat and wear well; in the years of disaster, there is food to provide relief. It should be the way to treat the disaster."

Adou nodded, but Zhuge Liang continued with a serious look on his face: "Your Highness the Crown Prince must underestimate these. From ancient times to the present, no superman can do this."

"Is Yao and Shun okay?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head again: "Then Yao and Shun are just legends after all, and it's been a long time. You and I have never seen anything like Yao and Shun before. It can only be regarded as an illusory thing and cannot be true."

"Thank you for your advice from the Prime Minister."

"There is no question of advice. By the way, Your Highness the Crown Prince, didn't you ask me just now if I had any way to deal with the Hu people? I have a few things here, Your Highness the Crown Prince will take a look first." Zhuge Liang said, shouting to the outside: "Come on."

Two eunuchs walked in with a small case. There were naturally objects on the case, but they were covered by a piece of brocade. I wonder what was inside.

"Prime Minister, what is this?" A Dou asked.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince will tell you when you open it."

Adou walked forward and opened the brocade cloth. What caught Adou's eye was a very strange crossbow. There was no arrow shot on the crossbow, but there was an arrow box next to the crossbow.
