Sun Yi jumped off his horse, held the whip, and quickly walked into the mansion.

A middle-aged Confucian scholar walked out of it, followed by a young man with a young age of ten years old and beautiful eyes. Seeing Sun Yi approaching, the Confucian scholar stopped and asked him to bow to him.

Sun Yi quickly slowed down, smiled, and bowed to salute. The Confucian scholar looked at him in surprise and showed a faint smile. "The general has returned from hunting?"

"Yes, yes." Sun Yi beat him up. "I'm not satisfied..."

"Uh..." The middle-aged Confucian scholar hesitated for a moment and bowed and bowed again. "I am rude and have never informed the general of his name. Liu Xian, whose courtesy name is Shizong, was free of charge in Qiu Hou and came to visit Zhuge Military Advisor."

"Oh, that's right, have you seen it?"

Liu Xian shook his head. "Military Zhuge was busy with official business, so I won't disturb you anymore. It's okay to come again next time." As he said that, he planned to leave. Sun Yi was confused, but he didn't ask too much, so he asked Liu Xianxian to leave. Liu Xian was surprised, looked at Sun Yi again, smiled, and turned to leave. Sun Yi stood there, watching Liu Xian leave, thinking in his mind that the name Liu Xian seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Liu Xian left the door. When he turned around, he stopped and nodded again when he saw Sun Yi standing there. Sun Yi waved his hand and showed a bright smile. Liu Xian left the door. Seeing that there were children beside him, the knights outside the door tightened their mounts and gave way. A middle-aged guard also reminded them not to walk too fast, so as not to startle the horse and have an accident.

Liu Xian passed through the knight, got on the carriage parked not far away, lifted the curtain, looked at the knight who was joking at the door of the mansion, and said to the boy: "No doubt, what do you think?"

The young man said, "It seems that the rumors are untrue. General Sun doesn't look like a frivolous person."

Liu Xian pondered for a moment and said, "It may be that he is in a good mood today. Come again in two days." After that, he put down the curtain of the car and signaled the driver to set off. He leaned against the wall of the car and slept slightly with the carriage. The boy sat opposite him and knew that he had something to do in his heart. He suddenly said, "Uncle, I understand."

Liu Xian opened his eyes. "What do you know?"

"Military Zhuge did not see us. Maybe it wasn't because he was busy with official business, but because he was doing something secret. He couldn't let us know." The boy tilted his head and blinked with his dark and bright eyes. "This General Sun is polite, not like a frivolous person, but he went out to hunt for many days. I heard that he was very skilled in martial arts and the knights around him were all elite, but they were empty-handed and had no prey, so he didn't seem to be hunting. But he was familiar with the terrain under the name of hunting and wanted to attack Lingqu."

Liu Xian pondered for a moment and nodded. He also had such doubts. Sun Yi's knight clearly had no prey, but his expression was relaxed and he could not see any depression. It was indeed a bit abnormal. It would be reasonable to familiarize yourself with the terrain and prepare for military affairs by the name of hunting.

"No doubt, this is related to Lingling's peace. It must be kept confidential and cannot be said casually."

The boy responded. "Don't worry, uncle, I can tell the difference."

Liu Xian knocked on the car wall again and said to the driver: "Go to the prefect's mansion."

Sun Yi entered the atrium, and Zhuge Liang heard the footsteps and walked out of the room beside him.

"The general is back, how are he gaining?"

"There is no gain. I'm not really hunting." Sun Yi smiled.

Zhuge Liang glanced at him and led him into the door, saying, "General, you can't say that. You will never be tired of deceit. Since you want to lure the enemy, you must show the false as the truth. When the two armies are fighting, I don't know how many eyes and ears are inside and outside Lingling City. Who knows which one is Liu Yao's detailed work..." He said halfway, and suddenly said, "General just went out. Have you ever encountered a Confucian scholar and a young man?"

"I met it, and he said his name is Liu Xian."

"Did you know his name?" Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and called a clerk to ask him to take someone to chase Liu Xian, so that he would take Liu Xian back.

Sun Yi was surprised. "Kong Ming, what's wrong?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed and he patted the edge of the sand table in front of him. "It's nothing, I just don't want an accident."

Sun Yi thought for a moment. "Do you doubt Liu Xian?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and explained: "Liu Xian was a famous scholar in Lingling. He was once denied a different leader by Liu Biao, but Liu Biao was quickly defeated by the king. Liu Xian came back halfway. After I arrived at Lingling, he invited him many times, but he never agreed. He suddenly came to the door today and met the general again. It was a bit coincidental. The general went hunting without any gains, and there was no look of depression on his face. He would be suspicious. If he missed his mouth and attracted the attention of those who were interested, it would be bad. There was no way, so he had to keep him for a few days. Oh, by the way, his nephew Zhou Buyi, what does the general think? If he likes it, he might be able to help the general in the future."

"So it's him. I said why do you think it sounds familiar?" Sun Yi smiled. "Is Zhou Buyi very smart? How about comparing to you?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Yi and laughed. "General, this is my newly completed sand table. Look, what else needs to be improved."

Sun Yi also smiled, tacitly not mentioning this topic again, and carefully checked the sand table in front of him.

He didn't spend long time with Zhuge Liang, but he admired Zhuge Liang very much. He had known that Zhuge Liang was a talent before, and Brother Wang had high hopes for him. He has also been very good at handling government affairs in Jiangnan in recent years. Whether it was Du Ji or Li Tong, he had a good impression of him. Even Gan Ning, who had always been difficult to get along with others, praised him. He knew that Brother Wang would let him control the other side in the future and wanted to bring Zhuge Liang as his right-hand man. But Zhuge Liang seemed to have other plans and did not respond to his show of affection.

It was not long before someone came to report that Liu Xian came back, and the prefect Xun Chen who was walking with him were the prefect Xun Chen. Sun Yi and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and turned around and walked out at the same time. Quanling is the county seat, and the prefect's mansion is in the Yacheng City, not far from Sun Yi's government. Liu Xian probably left here and went to the prefect's mansion.

Could it be that Xun Chen also sent an invitation to Liu Xian? This is normal. Lingling has not many talents, and Liu Xian is the one who is outstanding. Liu Biao was the governor of Jingzhou and sent someone to invite him. Xun Chen even had to invite him for business.

Before leaving the house, Zhuge Liang ordered people to cover the sand table with cloth and bring it to the door. Then he ordered people to invite Xun Chen and Liu Xian to come in.

Sun Yi stood in the corridor, and Zhuge Liang quickly walked down the steps and bowed. "Diet crime, death penalty, trivial matters, neglected sir."

Liu Xian bowed his hand and returned the greeting and said with a smile: "The military advisor is busy with military affairs, so he is prone to disturb the military advisor. Knowing that the military advisor is busy, he went to the prefect Xun's mansion to ask for tea."

Zhuge Liang turned around and bowed to Xun Chen. Xun Chen didn't know what was going on, but he didn't ask much. Liu Xian suddenly came to visit and said that he had just passed by Zhuge Liang. After a while, Zhuge Liang sent someone to invite him again, which was really unreasonable.

Zhuge Liang led Xun Chen and Liu Xian came to the hall to greet Sun Yi. Zhou Buyi followed him and sat quietly behind Liu Xian. Sun Yi knew that Zhuge Liang was going to keep Liu Xian. Without waiting for Zhuge Liang to speak, he took the initiative to say: "You are clumsy and don't know the name of your husband. You just rude. Just now, you heard Kong Ming talk about your husband's situation, and then you know what he missed. Please forgive me and give me a chance to ask for advice."

Liu Xian quickly said a few humility. He knew why Zhuge Liang sent someone to chase him back. It was probably because Zhou Buyi was convinced. They were deploying military operations and did not want him to see the flaws or leak the news. It was inevitable to stay here for a few days. In order to avoid being treated as a meticulous act, Zhuge Liang took the initiative to clarify his purpose.

"I have to come here today to take the liberty of visiting, and I want to ask the general and military advisor for help."

"What's up?"

Liu Xian called Zhou Buyi and touched his shoulder. "My nephew Zhou Buyi is eleven years old this year. Although he is stupid, he is easy to learn and likes military tactics. He heard that the military advisory office around the King of Wu recruits students from all over the world. Even talents like Zhuge Military Advisor are graduates from the Military Advisor. He really wants to register, but he is afraid that his talent will not be able to pass the assessment. He wants to ask Zhuge Military Advisor to give some advice."

Sun Yi and Zhuge Liang quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Liu Xian wanted to send Zhou Buyi to the Military Advisory Office to study, it is unlikely that he would do it in detail.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Mr. Talent is very talented, so it is not a problem to enter the military division. The New Year is approaching, and there will be a boat to Jianye in a few days. Why not stay in the mansion for a few days? Then you can go with the boat and have a chance to discuss along the way."

Liu Xian nodded in agreement.

Zhou Buyi stared at Sun Yi for a while, got up and left the seat, bowing seriously. "Dare you ask the general, do you mean after you defeat Liu Yao and take back Lingqu?"

Sun Yi was surprised and looked at Zhou Buyi with interest. "Where did this come from?"

"Isn't the reason why the general came to Lingling because Liu Yao invaded the border? If it weren't for this, the four counties in Jiangnan were stable, and the military commander Li, the literati, the military advisor Zhuge and all the prefects, why should the general come in person? I heard that the king was about to ascend the throne and Mr. Zhong was conquered to the court just to prepare for the ascension of the throne. As the king's younger brother, it was reasonable for the general to give a gift to the king."

Sun Yi smiled. No wonder Liu Xian wanted to send him to the military advisory office. This child was indeed smart and had a strong interest in military affairs. Zhuge Liang was right. If he could take him under his command, he might be another Lu Xun.

"Do you have a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"

Zhou Buyi bowed and said calmly: "Does the general want to take back Lingqu, or do you want to capture Liu Yao alive?"

"So what if you want to retake Lingqu? So what if you want to capture Liu Yao alive?"

"It is very simple to regain the Lingqu. If you contact General Huang Gongfu, Liu Yao will leave. If you want to capture Liu Yao alive, it will be a bit difficult, and you have to design a seduction." He smiled, revealing his unique childishness at this age. "The general and the military advisor may be doing it, but it is hard to say whether he can catch Liu Yao. It depends on luck."

Sun Yi and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and were secretly surprised. Hearing Zhou Buyi's tone, Liu Xian not only saw the flaws, but also had a safer way?
