Chapter 65: Finally able to be in power.

Since the withdrawal of the Eastern Wu army, the marriage of Zhuge Song and Shana has been repeatedly put on the agenda by Shamoke, although Shamoke's 20,000 troops have not turned their faces, but the delay in staying under Wuling City shows that this problem has now reached an imminent level.

Because Shamoke only asked his sister to be Zhuge Song's side room, and he had the great favor of leading the army to help this time, Zhuge Song could no longer refuse. The reasonable Qing'er also persuaded Zhuge Song to focus on the overall situation, saying that she would not care. Shamoke also specially ordered someone to write a letter to Liu Bei who was still in Nanjun because of this matter, Liu Bei soon replied with his approval, and ordered Kong Ming to personally repair a letter to Zhuge Song, Kong Ming also expressed his approval in the words of the letter, saying that the marriage with the Wuxi barbarians has a huge effect on stabilizing Jingzhou, and Zhuge Song must obey.

The matter has come to this, Zhuge Song has nothing to say, besides, with Shana's conditions, although the princess has a little more temper, not to mention the side room, even the main room is more than enough for him, so Zhuge Song still gladly accepted the order after some entanglement.

Of course, before the wedding, Zhuge Song personally led the troops to receive Lingling from Dongwu, and Dongwu was not polite, although Lingling County was returned, but the treasury was emptied by them, and only Hao Pu, who had surrendered before, and the Lingling soldiers who surrendered with him were returned to Zhuge Song, and Zhuge Song also allocated money from the treasury of Wuling County to support them.

Hao Pu saw Zhuge Song's full of shame, and directly knelt down for Zhuge Song, snorting and tearing to admit his mistake, saying that he should not surrender to Eastern Wu with his plan, and then said something about the current sinister situation, trying to get Zhuge Song to intercede for him with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei had already explained to Zhuge Song that if he wanted to kill Hao Pu, the Lingling sergeant who surrendered with him would inevitably be panicked, but it was not possible not to deal with Hao Pu, so he dismissed Hao Pu from the post of Lingling Taishou and let Zhuge Song decide to find a way to settle him.

Almost everyone on Liu Beijun's side was extremely disdainful of Hao Pu's surrender, and those present who didn't know Liu Bei's thoughts asked Zhuge Song to severely punish Hao Pu. However, Zhuge Song still has a certain degree of understanding for Hao Pu's previous behavior, after all, at that time, the Wu army attacked in a big way, and Guan Yu and Lu Su refused to come to Yiyang, and it was difficult to come to help.

Of course, Zhuge Song couldn't excuse Hao Pu at this time, after all, Hao Pu had the fact that he had surrendered to the enemy, so he had to order someone to put him in the army first, and then decide whether to give him an errand to do after returning to Wuling.

As for Lingling's new Taishou, Zhuge Song recommended Gong Zhi to Liu Bei before he came, after all, Gong Zhi has deep roots in Wuling, although he has much easier time in many political affairs Zhuge Song, but it is inevitable that he will be tied up, and getting him to Lingling is also a high promotion for him, and he will be very happy to think of himself.

Liu Bei may also have considered that when he captured Wuling, he should have been made the Taishou of Wuling with the credit of Gong Zhi's dedication to the city, and now Zhuge Song proposed that letting Gong Zhi be the Taishou of Lingling was also a kind of compensation for him, so he agreed.

Sure enough, Gong Zhi was very happy to be able to go to Lingling Taishou, after all, the temptation of being a leader was quite strong for him. He thanked Zhuge Song for recommending him in front of Liu Bei, and of course, he couldn't help but vaguely reveal the meaning of asking Zhuge Song if he could go to Lingling and let him be in Wuling.

Zhuge Song did not answer positively to this, because after all, the relationship between Zhuge Song and Gong Zhi was quite harmonious on the surface during this time, and he didn't want to directly sweep Gong Zhi's face, so he could only show his intention to be closer to General Guan's Nanjun. Coupled with what Gong Zhi heard from Zhuge Song after drinking at the previous banquet, Gong Zhi understood that Zhuge Song was not just playing the role of a county guard in Wuling, so he no longer mentioned the matter of staying in Wuling, but happily went back to prepare to take office in Lingling.

Gong Zhi followed Zhuge Song to Lingling this time, and almost brought his entire team in Wuling City. When he begged Zhuge Song on this matter, Zhuge Song agreed without saying a word, after all, without these cronies of his, Zhuge Song could really establish his own team in Wuling County.

Of course, because many of Gong Zhi's cronies were in important positions in Wuling, it was inevitable that their departure would still have some impact on the county's affairs, and Zhuge Song also thought of countermeasures.

Because Gong Zhi's cronies inevitably had to continue to do similar work in Wuling when they arrived in Lingling, Zhuge Song told Gong Zhi that he would hand over all the officials that his cronies replaced after he received Lingling, and he would take them to Wuling for use.

In this way, although it is inevitable that these replaced Lingling officials will have to be familiar with Wuling for a period of time, because it is equivalent to a reciprocal handover with the person who replaced them, it is just a mutual change of place, so the handover will be much smoother.

Because they all want each other's help, no one will embarrass anyone, and these Lingling officials were originally going to be dismissed, although they changed places at this time and wanted to take their wives and children to move, they were basically reinstated officials, and they were all grateful to Zhuge Song. After arriving in Wuling, each of them did things very carefully, and they were very resolute in implementing Zhuge Song's orders, no longer like the group of cronies before Gong Zhi, as long as Gong Zhi disagreed in his heart, they would disobey Zhuge Songyang, and use various reasons to prevaricate Zhuge Song and drag things out, and what Zhuge Song wanted to do in the future will be much smoother all of a sudden.

After returning to Wuling, the first thing Zhuge Song did was to talk to Xie Xian.

Since Xie Xian retreated from Hanshou from the Wu army, he was taken by Zhuge Song to the county town of Wuling, where he had good food, drink, and shelter. After that, Zhuge Song was busy leading troops to help Gong Zhi take Lingling, but he really let Xie Xian have nothing to do for a long time.

Xie Xian because of Zhuge Song's first retreat from the barbarian soldiers and the second retreat from Wu soldiers is now described as a five-body surrender to Zhuge Song. Seeing that Zhuge Song came to him and hurriedly greeted him, Zhuge Song followed him into the house and sat down according to the host and guest, and soon Xie Xian began to propose to Zhuge Song that he wanted to return to Hanshou to continue his position.

Zhuge Song smiled and told him: "I have appointed a new county order in Hanshou County, and I will leave you in the county town to do more important things!" ”

Xie Xian was inevitably a little gloomy when he heard that he couldn't return to Hanshou, and when he asked Zhuge Song if there was anything more important, his mood was not very high.

Zhuge Song comforted him and said, "Don't be upset! You can think about it, even if you go back to Hanshou and govern Hanshou County in the same orderly manner as before, but one day the Wu soldiers will invade the boundary again, and tens of thousands of troops will surround your small county town, and when the time comes, can the hundreds of soldiers in your hands prevent the city from being broken and the people from suffering? ”

Xie Xian couldn't answer Zhuge Song's question, so he could only say: "Hasn't Dongwu already reached an agreement with the lord?" How is it possible to come back to the boundary? ”

Zhuge Song said: "You must know that what Dongwu wants is the whole of Jingzhou. Now Cao Cao's attack on Hanzhong has infringed on the interests of us and the Eastern Wu family from the big situation, and the lord promised to take Xiangshui as the boundary first, so that the Eastern Wu got three counties, and then temporarily restored peace with us. But the remaining three counties of Jingzhou Dongwu also still want, our side agreed in the agreement with Dongwu that once Dongwu attacks Shouchun and forces Cao Cao to withdraw his troops to help, so that we can obtain Liangzhou, I will give them all the land of Jingzhou! ”

When the Xiangshui Alliance was signed, Dongwu was afraid that Liu Bei would not give the remaining three counties of Jingzhou after obtaining Liangzhou in the future, but it was agreed in the covenant that after the covenant was signed, each would vigorously inform the subjects of their territory of the content of the covenant, so Zhuge Song said that Xie Xian knew it.

Of course, Xie Xian didn't want to say in front of Zhuge Song that no matter whether Hanshou was ruled by Liu Bei or Sun Quan, as long as he was allowed to do it, he would only do things for the people. Moreover, once Hanshou really returns to Sun Quan, Sun Quan is likely to have Sun Quan's appointment, and the probability that Hanshou County Ling can still let Xie Xiandang is actually very small.

So Xie Xian showed a very helpless look and said to Zhuge Song: "If the lord really captures Liangzhou and wants to give Wuling to Eastern Wu, then we can only accept it, can we still disobey the order and use the army of less than 10,000 people in the county to fight against the army of Eastern Wu here?" ”

Zhuge Song took a sip of tea and said to Xie Xian: "Although the Lord has now decided Yizhou, and the military and financial resources have increased a lot, there is still a big gap compared to Cao Cao. Moreover, Yizhou is newly determined, and there are many things that need to be done, even if the lord sends troops to repel Cao Cao from the Hanzhong region, and the Eastern Wu attacks Shouchun to force Cao Cao to rescue and other favorable circumstances occur, Cao Cao will definitely leave a heavy army in Liangzhou to defend it. Moreover, Hanzhong is still Zhang Lu's now, and it can be said that it is quite unrealistic for our army to skip Zhang Lu to attack Liangzhou, which means that Liangzhou is difficult to capture in a short period of time. Liangzhou can't be captured, do you know what it means? ”

Xie Xian thought for a while, as if he had comprehended something, and he asked Zhuge Song: "My lord, do you mean that Eastern Wu will not wait for our side to attack Liangzhou and attack Wuling first?" ”

Zhuge Song nodded with a smile and told him, "You got it right!" ”
