"Now that the Wu thief has withdrawn, according to the previous righteous plan, he can divide the two troops here. Kill all the way to the northeast of Wu State, smash Huanglong, and capture Wu County. All the way to the southwest of Wu, pacify the southwestern counties, and hand over the state. The battle of Wu County is very important, and it is naturally led by me personally, as for the army that enters the southwest, who is willing to go!? ”

As soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, his eyes immediately turned to Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan understood in his heart, attended with emotion, and bowed his hand.

"Xiahou Miaocai is willing to go!!"

The generals are also enlightened, and there is no contention. Cao Cao laughed, covered his palms and laughed.

"Good!! If you want to go, you can rest easy!! How many soldiers and horses do you need!? ”

"Thirty thousand!!"

Xiahou Yuan was stunned and shouted. Cao Cao was afraid that Xiahou Yuan would be big, so he shook his head and refused.

"No! I heard that Sun Zhongmou sent his generals He Qi and Zhu Zhi to recruit a lot of soldiers and horses in Changsha and other counties and Jiaozhou. What's more, the southwest of Wu is very vast, and the barbarian land of Jiaozhou is even more precipitous. Don't take it lightly!! ”

Cao Cao said, Xiahou Yuan saw that Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a little concern, and his heart was moved, and he responded with a promise. After Cao Cao pondered for a while, his eyes lit up, and his eyes suddenly turned to Jiang Wei, and he said in a condensed voice.

"Boyo is cautious and meticulous, if you want to go together, you will be able to strengthen your strength like a tiger, and you will be able to break through the bamboo, and I will not worry. I wonder if Boyo would like to go!? ”

Jiang Wei heard Cao Cao's call, and immediately looked shocked, came out angrily, and gave up.

"I am fortunate to be so appreciated by His Majesty, and I wish to be like a dog and a horse!!"

"Hahaha!! Good! Good!! Good!!! Xiahou Miaocai and Jiang Boyu obeyed the order!! I order you to lead 80,000 troops, Xiahou Miaocai is the main general in the army, Jiang Boyu is the deputy general in the army, and the whole army is ready to go on the same day! Be sure to conquer the southwest of Wu within three months!! ”

Cao laughed loudly. Xiahou Yuan and Jiang Weiqi took the order. There were many soldiers in the hall, but many of them flashed a little different. Xiahou Yuan followed Cao Cao to fight in all directions, for decades, made countless meritorious contributions, and commanded the three armies, which is naturally reasonable. But this Jiang Wei, who is young, has repeatedly made miraculous achievements, but after all, he has not been in the office for a long time, and now he has become the deputy general of the 80,000 army, and many Wei army generals are not angry when they hear it. Everyone's faces changed, but Cao Cao saw it in his eyes, snorted coldly, and said slowly.

"Although Jiang Boyue has not been in the office for a long time, what is his ability, you know in your hearts. If it weren't for Jiang Boyo's repeated miraculous strategies, how could I have broken through the hinterland of Eastern Wu so quickly and marched so quickly!? Narrow-minded, jealous and jealous, I am the most shameful!! ”

Cao Cao drank it, and the soldier with a different face was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly put away his expression. Cao Cao looked around at the generals with a cold face, then withdrew his gaze, changed his face very quickly, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to Jiang Wei.

"Boyo Mo wants to live up to my high expectations, make a great contribution early, teach those young people, and be convinced!!"

When Jiang Wei heard this, he was extremely moved in his heart, and knelt down and bowed.

"Your Majesty Hongen, Wei Wan's death is difficult to repay, how dare you not go with all your might!!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed loudly, and then named Jiang Wei as a brave general. Although this is a miscellaneous general, Jiang Wei's promotion is so fast that it can be said that there is no one before or since. Cao Cao then instructed the generals one by one, and after discussing and deciding, they went to rest.

said that Lu Meng had deceived Cao Cao. After the Eastern Wu army withdrew from Nanchang, Sun Quan led a group of civil and military stars to rush to Wangwu County, and sent various teams of light cavalry to Panyang, Shixin, Huiji, Linhai and other counties as early as possible, and notified the counties to guard the soldiers and horses and the collected volunteers, and Wangwu County was gathered. At the same time, Lu Xun also led 3,000 soldiers to Changsha, southwest Guiyang and other counties.

A few days later, the Wei army was fully prepared, Cao Cao left more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard Nanchang, and led Dian Wei, Zhang Jaw and other generals, together with 100,000 soldiers and horses, to advance to Wu County. Xiahou Yuan and Jiang Wei led 80,000 soldiers and horses to march to Changsha for another way. The Wei soldiers marched quickly, and the soldiers were divided into two routes. At the same time, Cao Cao sent people to Hefei to inform Jia Xu, led the soldiers and horses, and immediately killed Danyang on the day of the order, broke through as soon as possible, and forced Wu County.

The allocation of the Wei army has been decided, and Eastern Wu can be said to be in danger. At this time, Cao Cao never expected that Chengdu had been broken by the West, and the remnants of Shu fled to Jiaozhou. However, it is said that Zhu Zhi was ordered by Sun Quan to recruit Jiaozhou and recruit more than 30,000 soldiers in Cangwu Guangxin. Zhu Zhi is training soldiers and horses in Guangxin, and the alien races in Jiaozhou have not returned to the king, but Zhu Zhi is capable, and he insists on training the aliens in all parts of Jiaozhou to be obedient. However, Zhu Zhi didn't dare to take credit, all because Zhu Zhi knew in his heart that he could train these Jiaozhou aliens so closely because he relied on a peerless genius. And it is unbelievable to say it, this genius is only eighteen years old, and he is the eldest son of Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Keye.

It is said that this Zhuge Ke is seven feet six inches long, with few eyebrows, a wide forehead, a loud mouth, a sword eyebrow and starry eyes, a face like a crown of jade, handsome and chic. Zhuge Ke is less talented, and the debate should be the opportunity, and it is not right. When he reached adulthood, he was even more talented and outstanding, surpassing Lunpi, which made Sun Quan greatly admire, that is, he worshiped the captain. Zhuge Ke is well versed in the art of war and has the ability to never forget, and there is no difference between the top and bottom of Dongwu. Sun Quan even thought that Zhuge Ke might be able to surpass his uncle Zhuge Liang in time.

Once, when Sun Quan saw Zhuge Ke, he asked him who was superior between his uncle Zhuge Liang and his father Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Ke didn't think about it, and replied that his father was better. Sun Quan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and all the ministers under his command were laughing, thinking that Zhuge Ke didn't know the height of the sky. How do you know Zhuge Ke, he was not in a hurry, and said slowly: My father knows who is the hero of the world, and he complements each other. And my uncle didn't know heroes, so my father was even better!

As soon as Zhuge Ke said this, all Wu Chen were suddenly dumbfounded, how dare they laugh again. Sun Quan laughed when he heard this, and he was even more pleased with Zhuge Ke. Later, Cao Cao reorganized his troops in Jingzhou and wanted to invade Eastern Wu.

Zhuge Ke was young, but he was not afraid, and persuaded Sun Quan to recruit strong men in Jiaozhou to deal with the Wei army. Sun Quan listened, but he was worried. Jiaozhou is of different races, and the people are fierce, if they can be used for it, it is naturally good. However, the alien races in Jiaozhou have always refused to accept the king, and now although Jiaozhou is under the control of Eastern Wu, the people of all ethnic groups have always held a grudge because Sun Ce killed the soldiers and civilians in Jiaozhou in the early years of Jiaozhou. Although Sun Quan had also recruited soldiers there before, he only recruited civilians from the marginal counties, and there were few people from the far-reaching hinterland.

Zhuge Ke repeatedly persuaded and said that as long as he did it within half a year, tens of thousands of soldiers could be recruited. The officials of Eastern Wu discussed a lot, all believed that the terrain of Jiaozhou was dangerous, the terrain extended in all directions, the people there made their own weapons, advocated martial arts, and went out of the mountains to be robbers, and the imperial court sent troops to hide back in the mountains and disappeared, which could not be controlled since the Han Dynasty. Only Zhu Zhi saw Zhuge Ke's ability and spoke in response. Sun Quan hesitated and put the matter aside for the time being. Later, when Zhuge heard about this, he was shocked, and urgently called people to spread the word about Zhuge Ke, saying that Zhuge Ke's move would not make the Zhuge family prosperous, but would cause the family to suffer disasters.

Zhuge Ke listened, not only was he not discouraged, but he also repeatedly admonished, insisting that he would succeed, and also made a military order in public. Sun Quan saw that Zhuge Ke had this courage, so he agreed to promote Zhuge Ke to the general of Fuyue, and went to Jiaozhou with Zhu Zhi to collect soldiers and horses.

After Zhu Zhi and Zhuge Ke arrived in Jiaozhou, Zhuge Ke persuaded Zhu Zhi to adopt the policy of using both soft and hard, and using force to besiege and appease, and issued official documents to the governors of the counties under the jurisdiction of each county, ordering all counties to strictly guard the borders, strictly enforce law and discipline, and all the mountain people who had returned to obedience should set up a camp to live together, distribute food and salary, and help them live in peace. Gradually, the people of Jiaozhou were willing to surrender.

Subsequently, under the persuasion of Zhuge Ke, Zhu Zhi mobilized generals from all walks of life, sent troops to guard dangerous passes, built siege fortifications, did not fight with the militia in the belly of Jiaozhou Mountain, and ordered all the soldiers to harvest the ripe rice in the fields. The Jiaozhou militia, the new grain was not harvested, the old grain was exhausted, and a few months later, due to famine, they were forced to go out of the mountains and surrender.

Zhu Zhi was overjoyed, and he had to hand over tens of thousands of militia to the state, and Zhuge Ke ordered that the mountain people should abandon their bad habits and accept indoctrination, and should be appeased. The government must not suspect that the mountain people who have moved to other counties will be detained on suspicion of making things difficult. Jiaozhou mountain people Zhou Yi, the past was tyrannical and evil, now there is no way out, so they have to go out of the mountain, their hearts are still different, ready to wait for the opportunity to make trouble, Wu army soldiers Hu Yan, know his intentions, and tie him up to the county government. Zhuge Ke did not punish Zhou Yi, but thought that he had violated his previous military order that he could not detain the mountain people, and reprimanded Hu Yan and ordered the sergeant to be beaten with thirty rods. Hu Yan was punished for no reason, and hated it in his heart. Later, Zhuge Ke personally came to the door to make amends, and explained the benefits and disadvantages to Hu Yan, saying that if he punished Zhou Yi heavily, he would be panicked when he came to surrender to the foreign race, and he would cause chaos in the near future. But if it is biased in favor of Zhou Yi, the suspicion of the mountain people will be eliminated, and they will soon be able to recruit soldiers and horses from it to complete Sun Quan's mission. When Hu Yan heard this, he woke up, and saw that Zhuge Ke sincerely apologized, not only did he have no grudge against Zhuge Ke, but he was also extremely respectful.

Later, as Zhuge Ke expected,

The mountain people heard that Hu Yan was punished, and Zhou felt the kindness of Zhuge Ke, and threw himself under his command, and the mountain people knew that the government just wanted everyone to go out of the mountain, and there was no other meaning, so a large number of mountain people helped the old and the young, and surrendered one after another. Within a few months, Zhuge Ke successively subdued more than 50,000 or 60,000 mountain people, exactly as expected, and he incorporated more than 30,000 of them into the army and handed them over to Zhu Zhi for training. Let's say that the people of Jiaozhou have always practiced martial arts and fitness, hunting in the mountains, this exercise for more than a month, has been quite effective, and the people and horses of each department are brave and strong. With the help of foreign generals led by Zhou Yi, the 30,000 soldiers have been reorganized in just half a year and can set off for battle at any time. Zhu Zhi admired Zhuge Ke very much and discussed matters with Zhuge Ke.

In the Guangxin County Government, Zhuge Ke was dressed in a red robe with a hundred flowers, his eyes were shining, and there was a faint smile on his face, and he said to Zhu Zhi.

"At present, our army has been prepared, and the Jiaozhou army is brave and elite, and it will be used for surprise soldiers. Ke heard that Wei Kou was menacing, and he had already crossed the Yangtze River and forced Nanchang. Without further ado, the general can quickly issue an order, that is, the army will be out of the army, and after the attack, he will be able to kill Wei Kou by surprise!! ”

When Zhu Zhi heard this, he held his beard and his head, and wanted to give an order. Suddenly, a soldier came to report, saying that there was a Shu soldier who was now stationed outside the city of Shi'an, and one of the soldiers claimed to be Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, and paid a letter and handed it to Zhu Zhi. When Zhu Zhi heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he muttered.

"Isn't Zhuge Kongming in Chengdu fighting a decisive battle with the West!? How did you suddenly come to the territory of Jiaozhou!? ”

Zhuge Ke's face also changed, but he quickly stabilized his expression, his mind was spinning, he guessed probly, sighed with a little embarrassment, and said to Zhu Zhi in a condensed voice.

"Presumably Shu Han is dead. My uncle has nowhere to vote, and thinks that Soochow is an ally, so he is like-minded!! ”

When Zhu Zhi heard Zhuge Ke's words, his eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed, looking at Zhuge Ke with a look of horror. Zhuge Ke's expression was calm, and he bowed his head slightly to show confirmation. Zhu Zhi's heart was in turmoil, and he said quickly.

"Zhuge Kongming is known as the wisdom of the demon, and Liu Xuande, the lord of Shu Han, is the hero of the world, and the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, and the terrain of Chengdu is precipitous, and the city is impregnable.
