Chapter 41: The Barbarian Mutiny.

The barbarians of Wuling County would make trouble, which was actually expected by Zhuge Song. In order to appease them, Zhuge Song had promised to marry Shana for a month, but later this matter was inevitably delayed because of the war against Wu. If it is excusable that Zhuge Song could not go to the Wuxi barbarians to marry Shana because of the force majeure of the war, then in the two months when he returned from Changsha and Zhuge Song was ordered by Liu Bei to reflect behind closed doors, Zhuge Song's selective forgetting of this matter can be said to be a bit of a heart.

Since Zhuge Song had not received Pang Tong's guidance on Liu Bei's dismissal of him before, Zhuge Song actually had his own cautious eye for doing this. At that time, he hoped that the Wuxi barbarians would make trouble because he didn't marry Shana, and when Liu Bei appeased them, he would probably let Zhuge Song return to Wuling to take up his post.

As soon as he heard that Zhuge Song was dismissed by Liu Bei for disobeying military orders, and he could no longer be the Taishou of Wuling, he never mentioned anything about Shana's overnight stay here in Zhuge Song, and turned to be like Liu Bei, forgetting about the marriage between Zhuge Song and Shana.

In that case, how could something happen to the barbarians in Wuling County? Zhuge Song went to Liu Bei and listened to Kong Ming tell him a rough idea, and only then did he understand what happened.

It turned out that since the barbarian king made up his mind to repent of his marriage, Shana had been messing with him all day long. It's not that Shana developed feelings for Zhuge Song so quickly, but that she attaches great importance to this marriage contract. It's not difficult to understand the fierce character Shana showed when Zhuge Song grabbed her. In order to make Shana die as soon as possible, the barbarian king promised her to the son of a tribal leader in the tent. The tribe of the leader of the tribe was the largest tribe except for the tribe of the barbarian king, and the barbarian king actually had the intention of marrying Shana Xu to the son of the leader of the tribe a long time ago to consolidate his royal power. So this time, even if Shana strongly objected, she would soon be married to the chief's son.

But what the barbarian king never expected was that the tribal leader named Na Guye was actually bought by Eastern Wu shortly after Liu Bei took the four counties of Jingnan. On the occasion of the barbarian king's big wedding for his daughter, Na Guye secretly mobilized his subordinates, and suddenly had a seizure at the wedding banquet, and besieged and killed the barbarian king on the spot.

After that night, Shamoke fled desperately with only a small number of men, and then Na Guye, who had been bribed by Eastern Wu, declared himself king, and the other tribes of the Wuxi barbarians also submitted to him. Shamoke had nowhere to go, so he could only take his subordinates to Nanjun for help, hoping that Liu Bei could send troops to help him quell the rebellion.

When Zhuge Song heard this, he was a little worried about Shana's safety, although he and Shana didn't have any feelings, but after all, he was also his daughter-in-law who had not passed the door, and he didn't seem to rescue Shana together when he heard Shamoke's meaning. Zhuge Song looked at the smiling faces of Liu Bei and Kong Ming, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, as if he understood what Liu Bei was looking for him to do.

Zhuge Song smiled bitterly and said to Liu Bei: "The lord doesn't want me to go to Wuling to help Shamoke quell the rebellion!" ”

Liu Bei picked up a letter from the case and ordered someone to hand it to Zhuge Song. After reading the contents of the letter, Zhuge Song knew that Ma Chao had raised troops with Han Sui in Xiliang to avenge his father, and had now captured Tongguan, and invited Liu Bei to lead his troops north to attack Cao Cao.

Liu Bei said to Zhuge Song: "According to the detailed report, Cao Cao led 200,000 troops to Tongguan to confront Ma Chao, and the soldiers of Xiangyang had no backup. And the rebellion of the Wuling barbarians cannot be unjust, otherwise leaving such a huge pro-Wu force will always be a big trouble for me in Jingzhou! ”

Liu Bei saw Zhuge Song's sad face, and turned to comfort him: "I sent you because after all, you have been a Taishou in Wuling for a while, and you have the experience of defeating barbarians. Besides, Shamoko's sister has already promised to marry you, and now that she is trapped by the rebels, it is reasonable that you should also go to the rescue! As for killing the enemy on the battlefield! You don't have to worry, this time, Shamoke is the striker and guide, Zhao Yun is the main general, you and Wei Yan are the deputy generals, and Ma Jian will also go with you, commanding 10,000 elite soldiers, so you should rest assured! ”

As soon as he heard that the Lord General would be Zhao Yun and not himself, Zhuge Song instantly felt that his entire body relaxed. After recalling it carefully, I couldn't help but be secretly amused, and laughed at myself in my heart: "Although the barbarians have gone through civil strife, there are nearly 100,000 people, this time it is to quell the chaos and not to repel it. ”

Thinking of this, Zhuge Song took the order with emotion. Kong Ming shook the feather fan and told him with a smile: "Last time, you acted without permission, the lord only exempted you from your duties, this time you must be more attentive, wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, on the day of triumph, the lord and I will not treat you badly." ”

If it hadn't been for Pang Tong's previous visit, Zhuge Song would have been grateful to Kong Ming and Liu Bei at this time, and he was glad that he had another chance to turn over.

But after Pang Tong's words, Zhuge Song looked at Kong Ming, who was smiling at him and showing his concern, and actually shuddered a little.

After returning to the residence, Qing'er saw that Zhuge Song was depressed, so she stepped forward to ask the reason. Zhuge Song didn't want to tell her his dissatisfaction with Kong Ming, after all, she was also a maid who served by Huang Yueying's side before. He just asked her, "Qing'er, what kind of person do you think our husband is?" ”

"What else do you need to say?" As soon as Qing'er heard Zhuge Song mention Kong Ming, she showed a look of admiration: "Our husband has the talent to turn things around. The fledgling house burned Cao Jun's soul to scatter, and Chibi borrowed the east wind, which made millions of Cao Jun wipe out like powder! ”

Zhuge Song waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean this. I mean, I mean, do you think Sir is a man who is willing to sacrifice everything for fame and fortune? ”

"Of course not, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Qing'er was taken aback by Zhuge Song's sudden question.

"I heard that the reason why my husband is willing to marry his wife is because of the Huang family's power and inextricable relationship in Jingzhou."

Qing'er covered Zhuge Song's mouth at once, and looked at the door worriedly. Her hand was warm and tender, and when she saw that Zhuge Song was no longer talking, she slowly took her hand down and said to him: "Others don't know, you don't know?" Madame's ingenuity is the biggest reason why Mr. is willing to marry Madame. As he spoke, he pursed his lips and said, "Mr. and Mrs. are a natural pair, and whether they look good or not is just something that you mortals value!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I am mortal! Listening to Qing'er's words, Zhuge Song also thought that even if Kong Ming designed himself before, it was good to lie to himself, and even if he really wanted him to help Kong Ming ensure the glory of his first army division in Liu Bei as Pang Tong said, it was not Zhuge Song's own benefit to be promoted to become rich in the end, he also treated Zhuge Song well in the final analysis. Thinking of this, Zhuge Song was in a good mood, and immediately hugged Qing'er horizontally, and said with a smile: "Now mortals have to do what mortals should do!" ”

Qing'er's face flushed with a blush, and she said shyly: "Don't make trouble, husband, it's still daytime!" ”

But the more she said this, the more Zhuge Song's desire was hooked, and he directly hugged Qing'er to the bed and put down the curtain and said: "What's the matter during the day, mortals have some things to do, but they don't care about day and night!" ”
