Chapter 45: Is This Okay?
"The vanguard of the imperial reinforcements has come? Take me to see you! Zhuge Jin was also ecstatic when he listened to the report of the county lieutenant Kong, and let the county lieutenant Kong lead the way without wearing any shoes.
Although Zhuge Jin still has no official position, Juncheng is sick in bed, and the county lieutenant Kong is also used to being called by Juncheng's eldest son, so it should be Juncheng's order:
"Please here, but don't get me wrong, there is only one person who came, just to report the news."
"It doesn't matter, if you can break through, it means that the enemy has a weak point in the encirclement, and the main force of the army should not be far away." The voice of a child behind Zhuge Jin came, and it was Zhuge Liang who commented casually.
Zhuge Jin had been irritable for the past two days, and taught impatiently: "Ah Liang! Don't mess around, you and your second sister look at your father, what are you involved in military affairs! ”
Zhuge Liang pleaded sincerely: "Big brother, it's urgent!" The fool has a thousand worries occasionally, and multiple people ask more about the military, and I won't talk nonsense. ”
Zhuge Jin thought about it, but still didn't stop it.
He knew that although this younger brother was only nine years old, he was smart since he was a child, he could read thousands of words, and he could already do it by reading the Four Books and the Four Classics roughly, and Han Fei Zhuangzi had also read a few articles. It's just that I don't read it well, it's just a "rough sketch".
The reason why it is the Four Classics is because the "Book of Changes" in the Five Classics is still incomprehensible, after all, it is only the age of the third grade of primary school in later generations, who knows those things that the gods are chattering.
Other poems and books are read as children's songs and historical story books in the Spring and Autumn Period.
"Then you must not be rude and not talk nonsense!" Zhuge Jin took one last word, then cleaned up his expression, pushed the door and walked into the living room.
An eight-character bearded officer wearing iron armor who was seven feet seven inches tall was waiting in the lobby in high spirits, it was Tai Shici.
Zhuge Jin hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Thank you Liu Fujun, Guan Duwei and Taishi Junhou for coming to help, in the lower Zhuge Jin, my father is Taishan County." It's just that I'm in a coma in bed now, and I can't go out to greet him, so please forgive me.
If you don't think Jin is young and shallow, you can also talk about the military situation with Zaixia, and I have been assisting my father to counsellor the military aircraft for more than two months, and it is also considered a matter of urgency. ”
After Tai Shici confirmed the identity of the other party, he untied the heart guard of the armor and took out a letter from the back of the heart guard:
"It turned out to be Zhuge Gongzi, here is a secret letter from my family's army commander, entrusted to me to collect it and send it to the city, but I am afraid that the morale in the city will be exhausted and I can't hold on anymore, so let you hold on a little longer.
My family history said that now Liu Fujun and Guan Duwei have personally commanded the army to march west from Linqu, and the vanguard cavalry will arrive at Fenggao tomorrow, and the brigade infantry will be able to arrive in five days at most. As long as your army holds out for more than ten days, the siege of Fenggao will be lifted. ”
The two brothers were overjoyed when they heard this, Zhuge Jin was still a little unconvinced, and hurriedly took the letter and looked through it carefully, confirming the authenticity of the seals of Li Su, the chief historian of Liaodong, and the captain of Wuhuan.
After confirming the authenticity, Zhuge Jin asked, "Liu Fujun and Guan Duwei are so capable?" This Wusu is determined to take Fenggao as the place of governance, and it is all based on Taishan County. Although his subordinates are in chaos, they are nominally 300,000 people and 100,000 young people.
Liu Fujun came from Liaodong, and I don't know how to get there, how many soldiers and horses are there? Can it defeat the 100,000 Yellow Turbans? Before we were besieged, it was rumored all over the world that Liu Fujun was still besieging Zhang Chun and Kejing in Xiangping. ”
And Zhuge Liang on the side, now there is no city government, and he can't help but show his heart with half a bucket of water: "Liu Fujun can cross the uninhabited land in western Liaoxi and break Zhang Chun, there must be a sea ship to transport grain, since it came so fast, it must be from Liaodong to Qingzhou." If you bypass Liaoxi, Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou by land, I am afraid you will not be able to get there. ”
"Ah Liang! If you are rude, you will ......," Zhuge Jin said to stop.
It was Tai Shici who dissuaded Zhuge Jin as a guest: "It's okay, it seems that Brother Ling is precocious and knowledgeable, and our army did come across the sea." ”
Zhuge Jin frowned and worried: "Crossing the sea in a hurry, if there are not enough ships, I'm afraid the initial strength will be insufficient." In fact, Liu Fujun doesn't need to be in a hurry, we can hold on for another 20 days, or even a month, and we can still hold on...... It's just that now that the military marquis has worked hard to enter the encirclement, tell me to wait, and it's not good to teach the military marquis to kill again and inform Liu Fujun to be relieved. ”
Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "My patriarch Shi already knew that Zhuge Juncheng was a cautious person, and he would definitely be worried about the lack of reinforcements and the rush to relieve the siege, but I didn't expect that Gongzi also had the style of a father and was so cautious."
Therefore, Li Changshi specially asked me to tell the truth: although the reinforcements are less than 20,000, he has already had a good plan, and there is no difficulty in breaking the siege of the enemy within ten days, please rest assured! It's just that he also specifically said that the strategy he used involved the disadvantages of the imperial court, so he couldn't go into details. ”
Zhuge Jin chose to believe it very cautiously, and no longer spoke: "In this case, we believe in Liu Fujun Li Changshi's strategy, and guard the city to wait for the time to clear." ”
Then he asked people to send Tai Shici to rest for dinner.
As soon as Tai Shici left, Zhuge Jin pulled his younger brother, and originally wanted to pull the county lieutenant Kong to discuss the possible strategy that Li Su might take, but after thinking about it, he still used the excuse of the county lieutenant Kong to break up.
Zhuge Jin looked left and right, lowered his voice and discussed with his younger brother: "Just now I wanted to ask the county lieutenant Kong to refer to the plan of 'using the imperial court to accumulate evils' to break the thief determined by Li Changshi, what will be." But after thinking about it, since it involves the disadvantages of the imperial court, let the county lieutenant Kong know, it is not good to have too many mouths.
Don't you usually like to guess people's minds the most, this time is good, I finally give you a chance, think about it with Brother Wei, how does Li Changshi break the enemy? ”
Under normal circumstances, Zhuge Jin would never pull his little brother to talk about this, but today he was forced to have no choice - his father was in a coma, and it was inconvenient for Lieutenant Kong County, so he could only find his own person to talk about it behind closed doors.
Zhuge Liang is rarely trusted by his brother, and he is also a little excited: "The disadvantages of the court related to the suppression of thieves are nothing more than thinking about unclear powers and responsibilities, acting beyond their authority, and so on. It's just that we don't know why Liu Fujun, as an official in Liaodong, came to Qingzhou to quell the turmoil.
Was it assigned by Liu Zhijun in Youzhou? Or was it assigned by His Majesty? Could it be that when he was about to fight half of the Yellow Turban Army, he pretended to be ordered by his boss to retreat and deceive the enemy to pursue? I can't really think of anything else. But it's not enough to defeat five times as many enemies. ”
Zhuge Liang only has a nine-year-old IQ after all, and no matter how rebellious he is, he only thinks of this superficial truth.
"That's not very good, it's pretty much what I thought." Zhuge Jin nodded, feeling that his younger brother's knowledge was the same as his.
That's it, since you can't figure it out, then you don't want to, believe Liu Bei and Li Su, and defend the city well.
……
In fact, the strategy that Li Su wanted to adopt to divide and disintegrate the enemy was certainly not something that the nine-year-old Zhuge Liang, who had not even mastered the overall information, could guess.
When the Zhuge brothers were thinking a few times there, Li Su himself had already asked Dian Wei Zhoutai to protect him, plus lead a thousand elite cavalry as a personal escort, and made a detour to the south to the southwest of Fenggao County, which was located behind enemy lines in the area of Juping and Pingyang.
Zhao Yun wants to supervise Liu Beijun's rear army, but he has not landed at sea yet, so he can't be a bodyguard with Li Su this time. Tai Shici was sent to fight into the siege again, so that when Li Su carried out a diplomatic fraud mission this time, the guards around him were unprecedentedly weak.
Only Dian Wei Zhoutai remains.
Fortunately, the enemy he was going to meet was not very strong, at least several percent weaker than Bhikkhu Liju. Therefore, one less Zhao Yun bodyguard is barely safe enough.
In case it can't be negotiated, a thousand Youzhou Commandos with one person and two horses can run away if they want to.
Zang Ba, who was based in Juping, and Sun Guan and Sun Kang, who were based in Pingyang next door, quickly became nervous, because they got the news early in the morning that thousands of elite cavalry of the imperial court had entered their sphere of influence.
Zang Ba and Sun Guan had to immediately send scouts to intercept and guard.
"Who is coming! Friend or foe! But we have to fight with General Zang! As a scout of the "Tarzan thief", he is not very polite, and the so-called salute before the soldiers can only be blunt to this extent.
Li Su immediately gave a look and asked Zhou Tai to step forward and answer: "We are the soldiers and horses under the account of the captain of Liaodong!" Please come and answer General Zang! If you are afraid of our army's assault, you can also choose the meeting place! ”
The two sides went back and forth, and after half a day, Zang Ba and Sun Guan finally agreed to meet in a suburban pavilion by the Wenshui in the northeast of Juping County.
It was a plain farmland by the river, and no one could set up an ambush, so both sides of the negotiation there were at ease.
Zang Ba also said that he would never bring more soldiers and horses, and only brought 3,000 guards with him.
In the evening, Li Su, who was wearing a black iron armor, an inner chain mail shawl cushioning soft helmet, and a wrought iron helmet on his coat, finally shouted under the posture of Dian Wei holding a halberd and Zhou Tai holding a shield: "Li Su, captain of Hanhu Wuhuan, please answer General Zang!" ”
Zang Ba Sun Guan also took a few elite guards, slightly protruding a hundred steps in front of the formation, and both sides circled around the horse to show that they did not bring bows and arrows to sneak attack, which was close enough to hear each other's talking.
As for the army that followed, they would definitely not hear the details of these rebellious transactions.
The posture is just like the posture of "Han Sui chatting in front of Cao Cao's battle".
Li Su also got straight to the point: "Zang Ba! I know that you and Sun Guan have not turned their backs on the imperial court so far, nor have they clearly attached themselves to the anti-thief Wusu, but have only divided the localities to defend themselves. That being the case, when the imperial army arrives, Wusu will not be given the head, so why not abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible?
If you are willing to work with Wang Shi to kill Wusu, and want to be an official to the county and the captain, I'm afraid it won't be difficult in time! As for the moment, with forces such as Er, it is easy to grant a county order! ”
"Hahaha! Just based on a few words before the battle, do you want tens of thousands of our young brothers to work hard for the imperial court? This is how you persuaded Qiu Liju, surnamed Li? That Qiu Liju is really stupid! Zang Ba couldn't help laughing, and he also had doubts about the diplomatic victories of the Han so far.
How can a liar of this level of skill trick trick Hu surrender? That Hu Chief's IQ is really low!
Zang Ba even had the illusion that "I can do it if I go to lobby".
But obviously, Li Su's killing move hasn't been said yet.
"Zang Ba! There is a question you probably haven't thought about, why did Liu Fujun come to Qingzhou to help? He is the Liaodong Taishou granted by the imperial court! He came to Qingzhou to fight hard with you, and he was not forced by the imperial court!
Wusu and his descendants are the elite of the Wuhuan tribes in Youbeiping. Now the Wuhuan tribes in Shanggu and Wuhuan in Liaodong have all been wiped out, and Wuhuan Qiu Liju in Liaoxi has surrendered to the imperial court, leaving only some remnants of Wuhuan in Youbeiping who are not returning to the king to the end. We had to be here!
Do you think Liu Fujun is willing to use the elite of the Youzhou military lineage to confront you with your life? As long as Wusu is awarded the head, with the law of the imperial court, even if there is an order from the governor Liu Yu to allow him to cross the border to fight thieves, Liu Fujun will have no excuse to stay in Qingzhou, and he does not want to shed the blood of his own soldiers for the people of Qingzhou! General Zang won't be unable to figure it out, right?! ”
These words shocked Zang Ba's heart.
He didn't know much about the laws and officials of the imperial court.
It turns out that as long as Wusu is dead, there is no reason for Liu Bei, a mourning star, to stay in Qingzhou anymore? Will the court force him to return to his own defense zone and not allow him to meddle any longer?
If that's the case...... It seems that if you cooperate with the imperial court and kill Wusu, you will not be laughed at by your fellow Jianghu.
He Zang Ba is not for himself to grab the position of the boss, but for the entire Qingzhou Jianghu colleagues will no longer be harmed by Liu Bei, he is for everyone!
"Day...... Li Su's tongue is really a ghost, just now Lao Tzu was still mocking him, 'I can do it if I go', now it's our turn...... Damn, but I can't refuse! Zang Ba struggled inwardly and felt very shameless.
It smells so good!
