In 210 A.D., that is, in the fifteenth year of Jian'an, in the Jing-Wu War, except for the burning of several Wu military camps by me, which caused more than 100 casualties among the Wu soldiers, there was no bloody battle that I expected.

Although the Wu army was under Changsha City and looked violent, for some reason, their desire to attack Changsha City was not high. After the first tentative siege found that Changsha City was strong and well prepared, there was not even a decent attack for the rest of the day.

I had the intention of going to Guiyang to ask for help, but this abnormal behavior of the Wu army made me very uneasy, and after thinking about it again, I only sent a soldier to Guiyang with my handwritten letter and rode my horse, while I led people to continue to monitor the vicinity of the Wu army's camp outside Changsha.

Of course, this kind of surveillance is actually far away, and if the few people in my hands are discovered, it will be easy to be dumpling. So when it comes to surveillance, in fact, I can only look at a mountain from a distance every day to see if there are a large number of soldiers in the Wu military camp, and I have no way of knowing the specific situation in the Wu village.

Half a month passed like this, during which Guiyang replied that there were no soldiers in the county now, which was also expected by me. Just when the grain I had stolen from Wu Zhai was about to run out, the Wu army actually began to pull out the village to the north. Seeing that the Wu army had withdrawn from the siege, I monitored outside the city for another day and saw that there was no abnormality before returning to Changsha City.

Ma Liang saw that my face was not very good, and asked me if I was responsible for the fire in Wuzhai a few days ago, and I honestly admitted it. I explained to him that I wanted to help defend Changsha from outside the city, but he kept a gloomy face, and only told me that he would report the matter to the lord according to the truth, and asked me to wait for the lord to send him down.

My heart was on fire, I didn't expect Ma Liang to do this to me. But he still didn't dare to leave Changsha City by himself like last time. Soon the news came that our army had assembled a large army to attack Luoxian Port when Zhou Yu retreated from Nanjun, and the Wu army in Luoxian Port could not resist and asked Zhou Yu for help, and Zhou Yu came back from Changsha to rescue. After that, the two sides formed a confrontation on both sides of the river outside the port of Luoxian, and the Jingzhou army was much weaker than the Wu army. On the same day, the two sides formed a reconciliation, the Wu army withdrew to Chaisang, and our army reoccupied the port of Luoxian. And this is not big news, the most important news is actually the death of Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin on the way to the withdrawal of Wu Jun.

I read the novel Zhou Yu was angry with Kong Ming, although this incident happened later than I expected, but it still happened as usual. Ma Liang and I were ordered to go back to Nanjun to hand over the order, I was indignant in my heart, and I have always been angry about Chen Zhi not leading the army to Luoxian Port early, but when I was summoned by Liu Bei, I was still worried in my heart, just thinking about whether Kong Ming could intercede for me later, and not be prosecuted by Liu Bei on the grounds that I left my post without permission.

Ma Liang went straight to Liu Bei's mansion as soon as he entered the city to report, so when Liu Bei summoned me, as soon as I entered, I saw that he was also accompanying him, and he didn't even raise his head when he saw me coming in, and he didn't know what he was pondering with his head down.

The worst thing is that I didn't see Kong Ming in the house, and I was even more nervous without him present, thinking: "Could it be that Liu Bei wants to clean me up and deliberately not let Kong Ming be present, so as not to embarrass Kong Ming?" ”

Liu Bei smiled at me when he saw me come in, and waved me to sit opposite Ma Liang. His smile made my heart feel a little reassured, but as soon as I sat down, he said to me: "I heard Ji Chang say, you didn't listen to the orders of me and the military advisor, didn't stay in the city honestly to help defend the city, and actually left the city without permission to attack the Wu army?" The tone was very unkind.

I thought to myself, "It's really not funny, this is to clean me up!" My husband wasn't there, and there was no one to intercede for me. So he had no choice but to reply: "The subordinates are just afraid that Changsha City will be attacked by the Wu army from both sides, so they want to go and remove the threat from the west first." ”

"Is your so-called removal of the threat from the west just to burn down a few Wu army camps?" Although Liu Bei asked me with a smile, I could still hear the mockery in his tone.

And I can only answer honestly: "The subordinate troops are limited, and there is only so much that can be done." ”

Liu Bei fiddled with a roll of silk silk on the case in front of him and was silent for a while. I just felt my heart pounding, and the feeling of not knowing what my fate was was really uncomfortable.

At the end, Liu Bei finally sighed and said to me: "No matter what, the military advisor and I just ordered you to guard Changsha for ten days, although you destroyed a few Wu army camps, but you only hurt the Wu army. If in the future, everyone will not listen to the dispatch on the grounds that they have a plan, then how can I exterminate the Cao thief and restore the Han Dynasty?

As soon as I heard it, as soon as this big hat was buttoned, it would be difficult for me to turn over even if I had a double reason. Originally, I wanted to mention that Chen's army did not arrive on time, but looking at Liu Bei's face now, I also know that even if I say it, it can only prove that I am a person who is good at shirking responsibility.

So I could only listen silently without saying a word, a typical look of having nothing to say and being disposed of.

In the end, Liu Bei's summary statement to me was: I was dismissed from the post of Wuling Taishou, and I was found a place to live in Nanjun City, so that my family and I could move there, and I thought about it every day, reflected on it, and waited until the military adviser came back, and then decided what I would do in the future.

It wasn't until this time that I realized that Kong Ming hadn't been hiding out, and he had actually left Nanjun now. Later, I returned to the small courtyard that Liu Bei arranged for me, and learned through inquiry that Kong Ming took Zhao Yun to Chaisang to hang his filial piety for Zhou Yu.

Zheng Liang took my hundreds of soldiers back to the military camp that had been arranged in Nanjun before, and that night Zheng Liang brought back a piece of news that made me angry: it turned out that after Chen Zhi received the order to go out in front of me that day, the elite of the three counties of 15,000 people did not go to Luoxian Port as stated in the previous military order. After I set out for Changsha, overtook their army, and marched to Changsha City day and night, he returned to the city with his army! After that, they just trained in the barracks every day, and they didn't go out again at all, and Liu Bei and Kong Ming seemed to have acquiesced to this matter a long time ago, so all of this was more like a play in front of me.

It's just that what is the purpose of their play? Is it just for me to stay stupidly in the city and be surrounded by the Wu army until the city is broken and people die?

In the nearly two months that I have been "thinking about the wall" in Nanjun Town, I have been thinking about this question. This bureau was supposed to be for Wu Jun, but in fact, no matter how I thought about it, it was aimed at me. It's just that I'm really so heavy to Liu Bei, right? For a young man in his twenties, just because I "won" Wuling Taishou by calculating that his two brothers were at the beginning, he would go to the people of Changsha City to ignore it, and would rather give up a county for Eastern Wu to occupy, but also clean me up and let me spit out the position of Wuling Taishou? ”

I can't believe that this is Liu Bei's belly, and I can't believe that it was actually my husband who cleaned up for Liu Bei's idea. If Liu Bei was such a person who was determined to repay him, how could there be so many capable ministers who would willingly follow him under his command? And Kong Ming is my teacher no matter what he says, and he can also be said to be my master, how can he treat me like this without caring about the affection between us at all?

It wasn't until one day, two months later, when Pang Tong suddenly came to visit my house, that I understood the reason for all this.
