Chapter Seventy-Six: Zheng Liang Suddenly Appears.
When I saw Zheng Liang, Zhuge Song had just finished lunch. Seeing Zheng Liang's appearance www.biquge.info as a "regular army", he couldn't help but sigh that being a pioneer under himself and being a bodyguard for Liu Bei were completely different things.
Zhuge Song joked with him about this, Zheng Liang touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said to Zhuge Song: "It's not for the lord to be a guard, it's a guard, and the place to stay during the war is safer than anyone else. ”
Zhuge Song shook his head lightly with a smile, and said to Zheng Liang: "Don't be dissatisfied, you kid, I don't know how many people you want to envy in your current position?" General Zhao came out of this position at the beginning, and he said that it may not be that the lord is in danger, and it will be your turn to show his might! ”
Zheng Liang sighed: "That was when there were few belongings in the past, and now the lord has Jingyi and two states, and there are often 100,000 soldiers and 100 generals around him, all of them are eager to make contributions to him like crazy, how can there be a chance for me?" ”
Hearing Zheng Liang say this, Zhuge Song's heart moved, waved his hand and told everyone else to go down first, and when there were only two people left, he beckoned to Zheng Liang and motioned for him to come and sit closer.
Zheng Liang was a little confused by Zhuge Song's move, but he quickly reacted, ran over, squatted next to Zhuge Song and asked, "My lord, do you have a good plan again?" ”
When Zheng Liang was not yet asked by Liu Bei to be the leader of the guards, every time Zhuge Song suddenly had a good idea about fighting, he beckoned Zheng Liang to come over as he did just now. Although Zheng Liang has been away from Zhuge Song for a while, he knows the elegance when he hears the string song, knows the meritorious service and is willing to contribute, and at this time he came over happily like a puppy seeing a bone.
Zhuge Song couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although he knew that it was very unfair to Zheng Liang to do this, because as long as he didn't let Zheng Liang do things for himself, Zheng Liang could return to Shu safely, and he would have a good future in the future.
But for Zhuge Song, it is better for Zheng Liang to do it, he wanted to do it himself before Zheng Liang came, but if Zheng Liang wanted to do it, he could get out of Guan Yu's side and guide the predicament that might arise.
So after a moment of hesitation, Zhuge Song still smiled at Zheng Liang, he didn't directly tell Zheng Liang what he wanted him to do, but asked Zheng Liang why he came here first.
In fact, if Liu Bei's personal guards came here from Hanzhong so far away, it would definitely not be Liu Bei who was afraid that Zhuge Song would think of Zheng Liang's subordinates, so it was as simple as letting him see Zhuge Song. Combined with Liu Beigang's form of driving Cao Cao out of Hanzhong, Zhuge Song could still guess a little bit about the purpose of Zheng Liang's trip, but he still wanted to hear Zheng Liang take the initiative to say it to himself.
Zheng Liang didn't keep it secret from Zhuge Song, he first took out a bag from the small satchel he was carrying cross-body on his body and gave it to Zhuge Song, and said to Zhuge Song: "It's not because the lord is very happy to hear that General Guan has conquered Xiangyang, and the lord is very happy to go to the court to claim the king of Hanzhong after taking down Hanzhong, so I will go to the front line of Fancheng with the reward and pass the new military order to General Guan." ”
"And what is this?" Zhuge Song asked Zheng Liang with a proprietary bag that Kong Ming used.
Zheng Liang said a little angrily: "My lord, you don't know, I heard that Kong Ming's military division said that General Guan seems to be very dissatisfied with your unwillingness to send troops to help the war, and mentioned in the document to the lord that in order to capture Fancheng as soon as possible, I hope that the lord will send you an order, so that you can hand over the command of all the armies in your hands to him and return to Wuling honestly to be your taishou." ”
Zhuge Song smiled helplessly, General Guan had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, how could he not know, otherwise Guan Ping would not have brought five hundred elite cavalry to him to "transfer troops". Zhuge Song asked Zheng Liang with an indifferent look: "So the lord gave me the military order?" Show me. ”
Zheng Liang shook his head and said: "How could the lord do such a thing to you, after all, you still have the great merit of helping him to take Xichuan there, not to mention the face of the Kong Ming military division, so the main prince didn't say anything before leaving, but the military advisor gave me this tip in private, asking me to come here and persuade you not to fight too much with General Guan in everything, and everything should be based on the overall situation." ”
Zhuge Song opened the bag and took out the text message inside, and sure enough, the content in it was similar to what Zheng Liang said, it couldn't be some words of explanation and persuasion, and there was nothing superfluous to instruct. It seems that even if he is as calculating as Kong Ming, in the face of the successive victories of the whole army, he did not see that Dongwu, a tiger who had been pretending to be asleep, was about to pounce soon!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Song suddenly realized something, and he said to Zheng Liang: "Just now you said that my husband instructed you in private, but shouldn't he be assisting the three generals in Chengdu now?" How did he get to Hanzhong? ”
Zheng Liang said: "It's not that the three generals are itching to listen to the battle situation on the front line in Chengdu, so they have to write a letter to ask the lord to let him also go to fight against Cao's army, and after obtaining Hanzhong, many people persuaded the lord to be the emperor, so he asked General Zhao and Fa Zheng to come over to discuss with him and Kong Ming's military division." ”
Zhuge Song remembered the capture of Shangyong counties by Liu Feng and Meng Da in history, so he asked Zheng Liang about the situation on Shangyong's side. Zheng Liang told him that Liu Bei had indeed ordered Meng Da to attack Fangling from the north of the garrison, and after he captured Fangling, he also divided an army from Hanzhong to call Liu Feng to take Meng Da from the direction of Hanzhong to attack Shangyong, just because Cao Cao had just withdrawn from Hanzhong not long ago, so Shangyong's Cao army guards were still holding on and waiting for help, and he was with Liu Feng from Hanzhong to the east, and then separated under Shangyong City through Fangling, which had been captured by Meng Da, to come here, otherwise if it was bypassed from Shudi, it would not have to be long before he could get here.
Hearing Zheng Liang say this, Zhuge Song asked him if he hadn't arrived in front of Guan Yu's ****, Zheng Liang said that he privately wanted to see Zhuge Song earlier, and then see Zhuge Song's attitude towards the current war and then cross the river to the front line of Fancheng ****.
Zhuge Song could understand the meaning of Zheng Liang's words, and it was obvious that if he hadn't led his army to the front line in Fancheng, Zheng Liang might have to play a supervisory role, and after showing himself Kong Ming's tips, he urged himself to lead his troops to Fancheng with him.
Zhuge Song said to Zheng Liang: "Not long ago, General Guan Ping has taken more than 4,000 people from me to the front line, as for the remaining 1,000 people, it is still insufficient to garrison the more than 20 beacon towers along the river, not to mention that I still have two very urgent things to do." ”
As soon as Zheng Liang heard Zhuge Song say this, he suddenly remembered the mysterious energy that he had just retreated from greeting him, and stood up all of a sudden, took a few steps back in disbelief, and asked with surprise in his tone: "Your Excellency, should you want to take only a few hundred people to attack a certain place alone like when you were in Wuling and Changsha before!" ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zhuge Song to answer, he guessed there: "Are you going to surprise the forbidden troops?" Can't let him get to Fancheng? Wrong! Do you want to go directly to Xuchang and rescue the Son of Heaven? ”
Zhuge Song felt that he was going crazy, so he simply stood up with his hands on his hips, and said to Zheng Liang with some anger: "Big brother, there are 20,000 reinforcements from Runan, not to mention Xuchang, and the troops left behind must have at least 10,000 or 20,000 people. ”
Zheng Liang scratched his head a little embarrassed, and when he heard that Zhuge Song's "business" was not as big as he thought, he said with some frustration: "At the beginning in Changsha, didn't we fight Dongwu and burn down their camp? ”
Zhuge Song was too lazy to entangle with Zheng Liang on this issue, after all, the success of the sneak attack on the Wu army in the mountains and forests outside Changsha City was entirely because Eastern Wu put all his thoughts on Changsha City, and a large part of the reason why Zhuge Song took Zheng Liang to sneak attack the Wu army's camp was because of its unpreparedness and psychological warfare, and although the results of that battle were already very large for such a small team, but for the Wu army, in addition to making them a little angry, it actually did not cause much loss. This is completely incomparable with stupidly taking hundreds of people to ambush Yu Ban and even to attack a big city like Xuchang.
Zhuge Song said directly to Zheng Liang: Don't talk nonsense with me, do you know what the new military order given by the lord to General Guan is? ”
Zheng Liang was a little stupid, but still told Zhuge Song: "Although Cao Cao has withdrawn from Hanzhong, he still remains in Chang'an and hesitates, and the new military order given by the lord to General Guan is to ask him to break through the ban and capture Fancheng, and when Cao Cao returns from Chang'an, he will abandon Fancheng and withdraw to Xiangyang to defend it." ”
"Then what if General Guan is still unwilling to return to Xiangyang after capturing Fancheng, but instead goes straight to Xuchang?" Although Zheng Liang said the same as Zhuge Song's worries, Zhuge Song still asked unwillingly.
Zheng Liang replied: "The lord has not said this situation, but when General Guan arrives, he will really be able to lead the army to Xuchang and rescue the Son of Heaven directly, wouldn't it be good!" ”
