Zhuge Liang looked around, found a seat and sat comfortably on it, scratched his head, and explained in what he thought was very straightforward words: "Chaos will naturally happen, but it won't cause chaos for people like us.
Obviously, someone is going to start a conspiracy war in Jingzhou County, and this kind of conspiracy war usually does not affect a large area, and the common people will not even know anything about it. " Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui understood that the reason why secret anecdotes could be spread was because some conspiracies could not be recorded openly in history books.
And Zhuge Liang's words pointed out exactly the reason.
"Okay, what you said makes sense."
Sima Hui refused to admit it, but he was already convinced in his heart.
However, he was still a little unwilling, so he continued to ask: "Then tell me, who wants to set up a trap here in Jingzhou?"
a conspiracy" This question really stumped Zhuge Liang.
He shook his head and said with a look of embarrassment: "I don't know.
The situation is still chaotic.
I can't deduce it without tangible evidence."
This answer seemed to satisfy Sima Hui, but Huang Chengyan despised Sima Hui's way of relying on the elderly and bullying the young: "Decao, don't be too happy.
Xiaoliang knows it, and what he said is completely convincing. .
And can you guess the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Sima Hui's face suddenly turned red.
He quickly picked up the goose feather fan on the desk, fanned it a few times in a pretentious manner, and said vaguely: "I am also trying to test whether he is arrogant and whether he will talk nonsense.
At this time, it seems that it is me.
You worry too much."
After saying this, Sima Hui smiled awkwardly.
However, at this time, he had fallen into Zhuge Liang's big conspiracy and could not extricate himself.
He continued to say to Zhuge Liang shamelessly: "Xiao Liang, this small talk is no longer a test.
If you have any guesses, just tell me.
We may be able to help analyze it.”
Zhuge Liang didn't pay attention to Sima Hui's petty words, but suddenly became somewhat interested in the fan in Sima Hui's hand.
Seeing this, Sima Hui gave the fan to Zhuge Liang as if to please him.
Zhuge Liang took it in his hand, shook it a few times, and said: "This thing is quite good.
It will be covered when you are happy, and it will be covered when you are shocked.
Those who use it well will be able to be happy and angry in less than three years, and become a Confucian and a general." ” When Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui saw that Zhuge Liang could tell such useful things from a small goose feather fan, they couldn't help but look a little frightened.
In Sima Hui's hands, the fan was nothing more than a toy.
But in Zhuge Liang's hands, it became a magic weapon for self-cultivation.
The two realms are not the same.
"The Jingzhou conspiracy can first rule out civil strife.
Although Cai Mao is constantly making small moves at the moment, he definitely has no intention of taking charge of Jingzhou.
Otherwise, with Cai's power in Jingzhou, Cai Hao would have had the opportunity to become a real speaker before Liu Biao entered Jingzhou."
Zhuge Liang also slapped him.
A few blows of the goose feather fan, but Not caring about his hand, he put it aside casually, and then casually concluded: "Cai Mao is not a man of deep strategy and courage.
Throughout his life, he has been a general who has been subordinate to others.
And this time he is so blatant, it is precisely It shows that he should have received a hint of strong foreign aid.”
"Who is it?"
Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui said in unison again.
Zhuge Liang's precise deduction made them ignore what Zhuge Liang had just said.
However, although the two of them thought about it later, they felt that Zhuge Liang was too modest to say that he didn't know.
According to his current train of thought, even if he cannot guess the real mastermind behind the scenes, there should be no problem in straightening out the complicated and subtle entanglements of interests behind the scenes.
As a result, the two men looked at Zhuge Liang with even more eagerness.
Faced with the impatience of these two people, Zhuge Liang instead of immediately throwing out his conclusion, he asked with great interest: "Mr.
Huang, Master, who do you think is the person behind Cai Mao?"

The two couldn't help but smile bitterly at this.
They really didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would test them in turn.
Huang Chengyan blinked his eyes at first, then understood Zhuge Liang's intention, and said: "That's right, you can't get more information by following De Cao.
Then I will help you improve some of the information behind Cai Mao.
There are two people It can be related to strong foreign aid.”
Zhuge Liang smiled, not blushing when Huang Chengyan exposed his little trick.
Instead, he learned and applied it now.
He calmly held the goose feather fan in front of his face and said, "Who is it?"
"Cao Cao of Yanzhou."
"What a relationship" "The friendship of worshiping one's mother in the church" Zhuge Liang's face was really moved at this point.
Not only was he a student hiding in the mountains, but even some wealthy and well-informed families didn't know that Cao Cao and Cai Mao had such a relationship.
This is a great thing.
It means becoming brothers and becoming a good friend of the whole family.
It means the same thing as being sworn in Taoyuan.
"If the two people really have such a friendship, then the possibility that Cao Mengde covets Jingzhou will be greatly increased.
Now that he has just acquired Qingzhou, it is said that he will not have any more intentions for Jingzhou, but if he controls Jingzhou through Cai Mao, then Cao Cao will He won another state without a single blow, especially since this state was the springboard for his future rise."
"You are saying that this year, Cao Cao wanted to eradicate dissidents in the court, but was plotting against Jingzhou outside the court."
Sima Hui was shocked.
Although his inner evaluation of Cao Cao increased year by year, this time he was a little frightened. : "Cao Mengde is indeed a traitor in the world."
"It's about a 40% chance.
To fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside.
If Cao Cao wants to take over Jingzhou without any bloodshed, he must smash the inside of the imperial court into a monolith.
But although our Majesty is young, his methods are cunning and cunning, so he should not be underestimated. .
If Cao Cao really wants to deal with it, he needs a lion to attack a rabbit.
Therefore, I think Cao Cao is only 40% likely to plot Jingzhou.
After all, things must be prioritized, and Cao Cao is not a person who is eager for quick success. " Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui nodded secretly, and when they looked back at Zhuge Liang's eyes, they began to show the complexity of their unwillingness but admiration.
But Zhuge Liang seemed to be used to this kind of look, and he said again: "Huang Lao, you said there are two big figures behind Cai Mao, who is the other one?"
Huang Chengyan's face was a little solemn, as if that name was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it was difficult to even speak: "Yong Wang Ma Chao" "Ah" compared to the surprise the first time, Zhuge Liang was really surprised this time: "These two people also have a friendship of worshiping their mother."
"That's not true, but in comparison, it's not much farther than Cao Cao.
In fact, in terms of blood relationship, the relationship between King Yong Ma Chao and Cai Mao is closer."
Huang Chengyan sighed, and he felt it now , sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.
"Do you know what the surname of Ma Chao's wife, now the princess, is?"
"Did Cai say?"
"Yes, this is the background of a wealthy family.
Although Ma Chao's wife is from Chenliu, her ancestral home is Xiangyang.
Starting from Cai Yong, they have been in the same family for three generations.
However, Cai Yong is an upright and proud man and never mentions this relationship.
That’s all.”
"That being the case, does Yong Wang Ma Chao know about Liang Cai?"
Sima Hui stopped talking halfway through the question.
Although King Yong has just passed his weak years, his mental skills are astonishing, and they are no less impressive than the jade in front of him.
If he couldn't even imagine this relationship, it would be impossible to push the Ma family to the peak of kingship.
"But recently, didn't Ma Chao win over Liu Bei of Runan again?"
This question seemed to have been in Huang Chengyan's mind for a long time.
This time when facing Zhuge Liang, the man who solved the puzzle, he couldn't help but ask: "If Ma Chao has Cai Mao as an internal agent, why not Cao Cao usually controlled Jingzhou, but he also supported Liu Bei at the expense of the near and far away."

"If King Yong really takes action, this is his brilliance.
Cai Mao is arrogant and complacent.
Once he gains power, it is not conducive to control.
And if Ma Chao introduces Liu Bei to check and balance, then Jingzhou can form a situation of yin and yang checks and balances. , Although the Ma family has been unable to send troops in recent years, if they can get something, they only need some deployment, and Cai Hao and Liu Bei will definitely cooperate with them.
At that time, the entire Jingzhou will be the Ma family's back garden."
With a snap, as soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, this crisp sound sounded outside the door.
Then, a man wearing a splendid war robe walked in proudly, with an expression of extreme admiration, smiling and clapping his hands: "As expected of Wolong, the Ma family's strategy was anticipated from thousands of miles away, which is eye-opening."
Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui didn't know who this person was, but they were impressed by his demeanor.
As the master, Sima Hui stayed down respectfully, saluted and asked, "I wonder who the young master is, and he is here to visit me."
The visitor glanced at Sima Hui, but then said to Zhuge Liang: "King Yong, Ma Chao, Ma Meng Qi":
