Let's say that the people in the city, including Gong Zhi, were all terrified when they heard that Lu Meng had taken Lingling so quickly and came to Wuling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhuge Song gathered all the civil and military generals in the city in his own conference hall to discuss, because Liu Bei and Shu had transferred Chen Zhi and Huo Jun two more capable generals before, and now the only civil officials who can come up with ideas in Wuling City are Gong Zhi and Pan Rui, and the generals are only some low-level generals who Zhuge Song can't name.

Naturally, the topic of the meeting revolved around the question of how to fight in the face of the approaching Wu army. Gong Zhi, who has always been timid, suggested sticking to the county seat as he did when Zhuge Song planned to save Lingling before, saying that as long as he held on until the reinforcements from central Sichuan arrived, the Wu soldiers would retreat by themselves. Pan Rui also had the same opinion as Gong Zhi, and also said that Lu Su could not support for too long under General Guan's attack, thinking that the Wu army would retreat soon. As for the little generals who led the troops, they all lowered their heads and did not speak, and Zhuge Song asked them for their opinions and said that what Gong Zhi and Pan Rui said was reasonable, and it was better to defend the city.

Zhuge Song knew that if the generals in the army did not support him before leaving the city to fight, it would inevitably be that the morale of the army in the city would fluctuate, and the Wu army was no better than the barbarians, and if he forcibly led the troops out of the city to fight, there would indeed be only one way to rout. The closest and closest example to the present is when Liu Bei came to fight Wuling, Wuling was too guarded by Jin Xuan to fight, but his subordinates felt that they couldn't fight, Jin Xuan didn't adopt it, and the result was that after the battle failed, Gong Zhi closed the city gate and could only die outside.

Pan Rui, Zhuge Song, only had a little impression of him when he was reading books, because he had too few roles under Liu Bei, so Zhuge Song had always regarded him as an old minister of Wu in modern times. Later, when playing a game by chance, Zhuge Song suddenly found that this guy was actually in Liu Bei's camp, so he searched for it, only to learn that Pan Rui was only an inconspicuous official when he was under Liu Bei, and later Guan Yu was defeated by the sneak attack of Eastern Wu, and when the Wu army attacked Wuling, Pan Rui surrendered with other officials, and fully met the requirement that Kong Ming had said to Liu Bei that "Gou Quan's life is in troubled times".

With Gong Zhi and Pan Rui, two masters of "knowing the times", sitting in the formation, and Zheng Liang, the only one Zhuge Song could use to charge into battle, was asked to leave by Liu Bei, Zhuge Song felt that he really couldn't defend the city.

So the next thing is to start discussing the defense of Wuling City, fortunately, Wuling City as a county town, can also be regarded as a city with thick walls, after carrying out a targeted division of labor, Zhuge Song also felt that Gong Zhi's words were actually not unreasonable, sometimes it is not a coward to stick to not fighting, now the military strength in the city is indeed limited, the lack of fierce generals who can lead the troops not to mention, many of these forces are towards Gong Zhi, and they are not even under the full control of Zhuge Song.

There is a good saying, it is called to stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, Zhuge Song knows that he has a long way to go in the future, if he is just arrested by Dongwu as a general of Pingxi, then this joke will be a big joke.

It didn't take long for the army of Eastern Wu to arrive at the city of Wuling. Lu Meng couldn't help but hesitate a little when he looked at the strong Wuling City, after all, Lu Su's side and Guan Yu's grip was already tight, and Sun Quan had already ordered him to get Changsha and Guiyang first, and then he would go to help Lu Su when he saw that it was good. Now that he has more than one county in Lingling, if he wants to complete the four counties of Jingnan, there will be a mistake on Lusu's side, and then he will draw snakes and add to it, and things will not be beautiful.

After Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su had a very high prestige in the Eastern Wu army, and the generals who followed Lü Meng also had the intention of retreating after taking Lingling, and forcibly attacking Wuling was actually no longer qualified for Lü Meng in terms of time or people's hearts.

Even so, Lü Meng still ordered the army to camp under Wuling City and rest for one night, and sigh alone in the big tent at night. At this time, Pan Zhang came in and saw that Lu Meng's face was sad, and he knew that it was because he wanted to collect all the merits of the four counties in Jingnan. Pan Zhang originally came to ask for instructions on the route to go to Yiyang tomorrow, but when he saw Lu Meng like this, he said: "The general doesn't have to sigh, although it is indeed important to join forces with the metropolitan governor at this time, but what the general did to Hao Pu at this time is not impossible to do to Zhuge Song again, and it is not necessary if it can be successful." ”

Lu Meng shook his head and sighed: "Zhuge Song just helped Liu Bei to take Shu and won the title of General Pingxi, which is a high position after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and he has served Kong Ming since he was a child, how can his loyalty to Liu Bei be comparable to that Hao Pu, this matter will not succeed!" ”

Pan Zhang said with a smile: "It is indeed difficult to think that Zhuge Song surrendered, but after all, he is young, he has just become a great achievement, and he is Zhuge Liang's neighbor, tomorrow the general will do his best to surround Wuling City on three sides, and then make a poisonous oath in front of the army, promising that Zhuge Song can let all the officials in the city leave as long as he dedicates the city, and then he will not be worried about him not wavering, even if he really can't be moved by then, we will retreat again, and we will not lose a penny." ”

Lü Meng felt justified, and the next day he acted in turn, surrounded Wuling on three sides, leaving only the north side leading to Nanjun, and swore in the city that Zhuge Song would sacrifice the city.

Zhuge Song had read this history well, and he was sneered at Lu Meng's claim that Guan Yu had already been trapped by Lu Su's design and could not come to the rescue of Wuling, shaking his head while laughing, looking at Lu Meng's eyes like looking at a fool.

Lu Meng still didn't give up, and sent another messenger to enter the city to continue lobbying. Zhuge Song let the messenger go through the process, but he ordered someone to erect a wooden frame on the head of the city, and tied the messenger to it in the shape of a cross, neither beating nor scolding, nor letting him bask in the sun, but specially ordered someone to build a simple cloth shed on this cross to protect him from the sun, and give him water to drink when he was thirsty, and something to eat when he was hungry.

Lu Meng protested loudly under the city, Zhuge Song said to Lu Meng in a mocking tone: "General Lu, you don't have to pretend to be garlic in front of me, if you have the ability, you can quickly attack the city, if you don't have the ability, get out of the house as soon as possible, don't grind and chirp in front of me like a woman, and then don't go If General Guan breaks through the camp of your family's governor, your lord asks you, it's not that your current credit can be offset!" ”

The generals of the Wu army under the city were so angry that they were all asking Lü Meng for battle, but they didn't expect Lü Meng to still not give the order to attack the city, but sent another envoy to ask Zhuge Song to put back the envoy who came before. Zhuge Song also generously accepted this envoy, but this time Zhuge Song did not tie him to the cross and be accompanied by the previous messenger, but just greeted him with a bowl of tea and asked him to go back and tell Lu Meng that his envoy himself would not kill, when he would retreat and release himself, if Lu Meng wanted to attack the city, he would not care if he accidentally injured this messenger Zhuge Song.

Of course, Zhuge Song did not expect Lü Meng to give up the siege for the sake of a messenger, and sure enough, soon after the second messenger returned, Lü Meng's army began to attack the city.

The dense Wu soldiers came out of the formation and resisted the ladder to the city, while the defenders of the city kept shooting arrows downward, cutting down the Wu soldiers close to the city wall with knives. Gong Zhi pulled Zhuge Song back slightly, afraid that Zhuge Song would be shot by the arrows from the city. It's just that the attack of the Wu army is really a show, and the soldiers on Wuling City only shot a few rounds of arrows desperately, and those Wu soldiers dropped the ladder and ran back.

After a while, the Wu soldiers reorganized a wave of siege soldiers, but the second attack was not official than the first one, and the ladder that the Wu soldiers resisted was shot away again before they even reached the city wall. In this way, before and after the time of the incense, the offensive of the Wu army completely stopped, Zhuge Song was very strange about this, secretly thinking that Lu Meng's attack was a pretentious retreat, and the second time was completely redundant, I don't know what Lu Meng is going to do.

Then something even more strange happened to Zhuge Song, suddenly a cavalry rode to Lu Meng's horse and turned over and dismounted and said something to him loudly, Lu Meng waved his hand after hearing it, and then Wu Jun began to sing gold and prepare to collect the troops. Slowly, the 30,000 army gradually disappeared from Zhuge Song's field of vision, and everyone in the city cheered, including Zhuge Song, thinking that Lu Meng was forced by Guan Yu's pressure on Lu Su and had to collect troops to rescue Lu Su. Sentinels were sent to investigate, but the report said that Lü Meng only led the army to retreat ten miles to the east, temporarily set up camp, and did not go far.

Gong Zhi and others said that it was likely that the Wu army was tired from attacking the city and marching again on this day, and camped to rest and leave tomorrow at dawn. Although this explanation is also reasonable, deep down in Zhuge Song's heart, he still faintly feels that things are not as simple as Gong Zhi said.

Just when Zhuge Song was puzzled, the west of Wuling City suddenly rolled up with billowing smoke and dust, and it seemed that a military horse was coming. When I got closer, I looked at the costumes of those generals and soldiers, and realized that it was actually the barbarians by the five streams. The two who took the lead, one of them was tall and bearded, and it was Shamoko. And the other, with a red helmet and red armor, is heroic, and it is very energetic to look at, which is very conquest*, and it is naturally the barbarian beauty Shana.

I haven't seen her for a long time, and Shana has become more and more beautiful and temperamental. Thinking that this beauty might be his daughter-in-law, Zhuge Song felt a little itchy in his heart. Shana raised the silver spear in her hand at Zhuge Song, saying that they were here to help repel the Wu army, and asked Zhuge Song to open the city gate and let her troops in.

Zhuge Song was about to order his subordinates to open the city, but was stopped by Gong Zhi, and he shouted at the city: "The Wu army has not gone far, and it is inconvenient to open the city, so please camp the army outside the city first, and then enter the city with the barbarian king to talk?" ”

Shana's temper Zhuge Song knew it, and Gong Zhi made it clear that he didn't trust them. But Gong Zhi's words have already come out, although they are not very good, but they are also for the sake of the people in the city, Zhuge Song has no way to pull these words back, he can only wait for Shana to attack with a fever.

Sure enough, Shana's face was not good when she heard this, and she directly threw the silver spear in her hand to the ground at once. After dropping the gun, he turned over and got off the horse, and said something to Shamoko, who was also unkind, but he didn't pick up the gun, and walked directly to the city gate.

When she walked to the city, she raised her head and shouted at Zhuge Song: "Zhuge Song, aren't you quite bold?" Even a hundred and ten people dare to design to arrest me, how can I now command the troops of a county, and I am so timid that I don't even dare to let reinforcements into the city? ”

Zhuge Song was choked by Shana's words and couldn't answer, Shana saw that Zhuge Song had nothing to say, so she continued to shout: "This time it's just me, I don't even bring a weapon, what are you afraid of?" Hurry up and open the city for me! ”

When Zhuge Song heard Shana say this, he felt that his face was about to burn away, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. turned around and glared at Gong Zhi fiercely, and sent all his anger to him: "Don't tell someone to open the door yet!" ”

Gong Zhi knew about Shana and Zhuge Song's past, and when he saw Zhuge Song angry at this time, he hurriedly gave an order. Zhuge Song came down from the city wall, and along the way he kept thinking about what to say when he saw Shana to save face. Unexpectedly, after Shana entered the city, she ignored Zhuge Song, let Gong Zhi lead the way, and went directly to Zhuge Song's Taishou Mansion.
