Zhuge Song looked at the military order that Ma Liang showed him, and was silent for a long time.

Obviously, Ma Liang had already obtained this military order from Nanjun, and he never mentioned it to Zhuge Song along the way. After entering Changsha City, Liu Pan and Fu Shiren were introduced, and it was also the lord who appointed Zhuge Song as the chief general of Changsha City during the war.

But seeing this military order, Zhuge Song understood everything. Obviously, Kong Ming meant: If he obediently obeys the order to defend the city, this Changsha City will be supplemented by Ma Liang and Zhuge Song will be the master. If Zhuge Song is not obedient, he will be deprived of his military power immediately, and there will be nothing to do with Zhuge Song in this Changsha city in the future.

This is not the first time Zhuge Song has been set aside, when he was in Wuling, Liu Bei asked Gong Zhi to set aside Zhuge Song's Wuling Taishou, and he didn't complain at that time. Because the Wuling Taishou was won by Zhuge Song from Liu Bei's two brothers, although Liu Bei gave him two brothers face, but it must be both uneasy and unwilling to let Zhuge Song become a county Taishou so easily, so Zhuge Song can be regarded as acceptable.

But this time, it was obviously Liu Bei and Kong Ming who transferred Zhuge Song from Wuling to Nanjun and worked hard to appoint him to Changsha as the chief general, which is what these two people wanted! But in the end, Zhuge Song's power was emptied, and he was not given any room to try to "get out of the circle"!

Zhuge Song really wanted to say to Ma Liang: "The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected!" But he also knew that even if he said so, in the entire Changsha City, in addition to his five hundred personal soldiers, there would not be even a hundred more people to listen to his transfer.

Ma Liang saw Zhuge Song stunned for a long time, and then put his hand on his shoulder to comfort Zhuge Song and said, "Brother Xian, I don't want to do this, but now what we have to do is to defend Changsha City." I didn't want to take out this military order, but I couldn't help it. The military division has its own sense of proportion in the matter of Wu's war, and those of us who should be subordinates should just obey orders! ”

Depend on! Zhuge Song really wanted to jump up at this time, pointed at Ma Liang's nose and scolded: "Ya, you still have the face to say that Kong Ming is measured!" Kong Ming asked Chen Zhi to lead the army to garrison Luoxian Port in front of me, didn't you hear? Until the Wu army was killed, Chen didn't come to a single soldier, didn't you hear? He is measured, and when the time comes, let Zhou Yu touch a nose of dust in Jiangling, and then return to Luoxian Port and lead 50,000 troops to my city to vent my anger, right? ”

In order to control his emotions like a volcanic eruption, Zhuge Song pressed his hands on the bookcase, and at this time his knuckles were all white.

Zhuge Song knew that he couldn't say this to Ma Liang, the Ma family was a big clan in Jingzhou, and if he wanted to avoid Guan Yu from losing his land and dying in the future, there were still many places where he would have to use Ma Liang in the future. Guan Erye can say that everything is good whether it is martial arts or resourcefulness, but he is a little too ignorant of Dongwu. Once it was time for him to spare Jingzhou's troops to attack Fancheng, Zhuge Song would also use Ma Liang to help him persuade Guan Yu, and only Ma Liang's words might make Guan Erye think about it more.

Zhuge Song had finally made a little friendship with Ma Liang because of the matter of borrowing Ma Liang from Liu Bei before, if he sent out all the anger he wanted to get rid of Ma Liang, even if Ma Liang's temper was good and he didn't attack on the spot, it is estimated that the future friendship between the two of them would definitely be completely broken.

Thinking about this, Zhuge Song could only slowly let go of his fingers grasping the side of the bookcase, and turned his anger into a dejected look and said to Ma Liang: "Since the lord doesn't trust me, why did he ask me to come all the way over? ”

Ma Liang saw that Zhuge Song's mood was depressed, and he was no longer as excited as just now, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. He patiently said to Zhuge Song: "Brother Xian, you don't have to think too much, you are the senior apprentice of Zhuge Military Master, and Mr. Kong Ming is the person most valued by the lord now, how can the lord not trust you?" Again, the overall situation is important, we just need to hold Changsha and satisfy the lord and the military division! ”

"Alright! In that case, so be it! Disperse y'all! Zheng Liang stayed and drank some wine with me to dispel my sorrows. Zhuge Song said this, and Liu Pan and Fu Shiren also arched their hands at him and followed Ma Liang.

The reason why Zhuge Song said this was actually because he was angry and had a somewhat vicious thought in his heart. Of course, some schemes are clever for oneself and poisonous for one's enemies. The reason why this idea is a bit vicious is because the ploy is not only aimed at the enemy.

Zhuge Song lost face in front of Liu Pan and Fu Shiren this time, although the two of them did not show it, but Zhuge Song had already decided in his heart that through this meeting, he would make these two people look down on him even more in the future, and after they went back, they would definitely secretly laugh at themselves and use his embarrassing situation as a talking point after drinking.

After the three of them left, Zhuge Song hit the book case with his right fist, and this heavy blow made his entire right fist hurt and numb while making a sound.

Zheng Liang was unmoved, Zhuge Song ordered someone to move a jar of wine to his bedroom, and asked the kitchen to cook a few side dishes, so that Zheng Liang could drink with him.

Although the wine in ancient times was low, but after three bowls of wine, Zhuge Song still felt that his whole body was a little burning, Zheng Liang seemed to be able to drink more than Zhuge Song, but he was not as silent as before. After another bowl of wine, he actually stood up, walked to Zhuge Song's side, sat down, hugged his shoulder, and said to Zhuge Song with the strength of the wine: "My lord, you don't have to make a fire, they are all cowardly people in the city of Changsha, and when we finish the errand of the lord and return to Wuling, it's not all up to you!" ”

This Zheng Liang was older than Zhuge Song in the Three Kingdoms, and as soon as he drank wine, Zhuge Song didn't care about his somewhat guilty behavior. The strategy that Zhuge Song had in his heart before would not have succeeded without Zheng Liang's martial arts, so he pretended to be drunk, and also grabbed Zheng Liang's shoulders and said to him: "Liang Zi, in fact, I'm not a nest for Ma Liang They don't listen to me, I'm worried that Zhou Yu's guy was deflated in Jiangling, and he came back to make us angry!" Zhou Yu's army has 50,000 troops, we only have 5,000 people, if there are tens of thousands of Wu soldiers in the east, we have to be dumplings by Zhou Yu! ”

"Then let's leave here and go back to Wuling!" Zheng Liang realized the seriousness of the problem when he heard this, although he was belligerent, he was not stupid. He said to Zhuge Song: "Anyway, now that Ma Liang has also shown the military order of the lord, since we are no longer needed here, we might as well go back to Wuling, and if Changsha is besieged, we can still bring troops from Wuling to help!" ”

Although Zheng Liang's suggestion was not as ruthless as Zhuge Song thought in his heart, all Zhuge Song needed now was that he was willing to lead troops out of the city with him. At this time, I heard that Zheng Liang had the intention of leaving, how could Zhuge Song disagree?

Zhuge Song pretended to ponder for a while, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Liangzi, your idea is really great, they are going to die in the city, we don't accompany them, you and I will be crowned marquis in the future, without further ado, you and I will leave now!" ”

Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Zheng Liang followed Zhuge Song to the military camp where Zhuge Song's personal soldiers were stationed without saying a word. When Liu Pan asked Zhuge Song's housekeeper where he went, Zhuge Song said that he would go to the city to inspect it. Now the whole city is preparing for the defense of Wu soldiers, and the housekeeper does not doubt him, as for whether he will report to Liu Pan Zhuge Song after he leaves, he doesn't care.

There are horses in the backyard, and Zhuge Song is not polite to ride one each with Zheng Liang. When he arrived at the military camp where his own soldiers were stationed, Zhuge Song asked Zheng Liang to order all the soldiers in the battalion to bring guns, halberds, bows and arrows, and go out of the city with him to inspect the city.

This was discussed by Zhuge Song and Zheng Liang on the way to the military camp, after all, there were many people, and the news that they were going back to Wuling could not be revealed before leaving the city, in case there was surveillance arranged by others in the military camp, let Ma Liang know about this, and he would definitely rush to stop Zhuge Song.

Because the copy of Liu Bei's military order presented by Ma Liang was only known to the five people present at the time, Ma Liang saw that Zhuge Song accepted it dejectedly, and in order to save face for him, he obviously did not announce this military order to the whole city. In other words, Zhuge Song is still the recognized leader in Changsha City, even if it is not worthy of the name. But when he told the defenders of the city gate that he was going to lead the troops out of the city to inspect, the general at the city gate saw that he was him and let him go without saying a word.

Just when Zhuge Song left from the south gate of Changsha with Zheng Liang and his five hundred heavily armed soldiers, and traveled nearly five miles on the official road to Guiyang, he suddenly shouted to his own soldiers: "Stop!" Don't go! ”

Seeing that the soldiers under his command were looking at him blankly, Zhuge Song shouted to them loudly with the strength of wine: "Do you still remember the great achievements we made under Hanshou City? ”

After the Battle of Hanshou, all the soldiers who participated in the battle were rewarded quite richly after Zhuge Song returned to Wuling. When these soldiers heard Zhuge Song suddenly mention this at this time, they responded together: "Of course I remember!" ”

"That's good!" Zhuge Song saw that the soldiers seemed to be very satisfied with the battle of Hanshou and the reward afterward, so he showed a strange smile. He shouted to the soldiers: "Then tonight, this is another opportunity for you to do miraculous deeds!" ”
