Chapter 30 Conscription Order for the Four Counties

It turns out that another condition of the barbarian king is that his daughter will live in my house for one night, and her reputation will be ruined no matter what, although it will not be my main room, but even the side room will ask me to marry her, otherwise the barbarian will fight to the last person, and I will be caught to get this statement back.

I didn't expect that the prank I played on Shana would end up hurting me, although I don't lose anything to marry her, after all, she is good-looking, and she also has a different feeling that everyone else doesn't have. But after all, I've only been newly married, and I'm going to marry another one so soon, and I don't know if Qing'er can stand it.

I ignored Xie Xian's persuasion and let him go down, but he just couldn't go down, and repeatedly said to me what oppressive things were about the people, and finally I couldn't stand it and let people drag him down, and told him to let me think about it one night and give him an answer tomorrow.

When I returned to my house and saw Qing'er, I inevitably felt a little guilty, and I wanted to say it to her several times, but I just said it. Qing'er saw that I was full of worries and kept asking me, and when I finally told her about it, she was only stunned for a moment, and then immediately changed her smile and said to me: "I am already grateful that my husband can let me be your main room, since you have become a county guard, it is not only me, for the sake of the lord, but also for the people of the county, you agree!" Don't worry, I'll get along with her in the future! ”

I was deeply moved by Qing'er's words, and I felt that it was really a blessing that God could give me such a gentle and knowledgeable wife. Thinking of this, I said to Qing'er affectionately: "Qing'er, no matter what the future holds, you will always be my favorite woman!" ”

My affection made Qing'er blush, and I took advantage of the situation to carry her to the bed and lingered for a long time.

The next day he ordered Shamoko and the other captured barbarians to be released out of the city, and told Shamoko to go back and tell him that my father had promised to marry Shana, but I had just been married, and it was not good to marry again so soon, and the barbarian king should wait for another three months, and when the three months were over, he would go to marry him himself.

This is the only thing I can do for Qing'er now, and I hope it will make me feel a little less guilty in my heart. Shamoko was glad to hear me, and it was evident that his father had accepted my offer at last, for soon news came that all the barbarians had withdrawn. After bidding farewell to Xie Xian, I returned to the county seat. Gong Zhi's face did not have a little dissatisfaction and unnatural expression, but a large banquet to celebrate the achievements of Zheng Liang and me.

At the banquet, Gong Zhi can be said to have been singing praises for me all the time, and I have goosebumps falling down when I hear it, but this time I successfully survived the crisis, except that I still want to marry the daughter of the barbarian king, everything is going well, so I happily drank a few more glasses, and I can't remember what I said when I woke up the next day.

In this way, more than half a month passed, and the news that Liu Bei had returned came from Nanjun, and it was expected that Zhou Yu had lost his wife this time and was going to surrender his army. Sure enough, it was not long before Tanma reported that Zhou Yu had now carried out a general mobilization of the whole army in Lukou, and there were no less than 50,000 horses and infantry naval troops under his department.

Although the strength of 50,000 people is much less than Cao Cao's 830,000 army before, these 50,000 people are the elite of the Wu army of Chibi Po Cao, and once the two armies of Sun and Liu fought, the first thing to be decided on the ground in Jingzhou is the navy, which can be said to be a big disadvantage for our army that is mostly the old department of the Jingzhou army.

As I expected, on the second day of the return of the horses, a messenger from Nanjun brought Liu Bei's military order to transfer troops from various counties. In fact, Liu Bei should also know that the current guards in the four counties of Jingnan are only enough to protect themselves, and in this case, he still has to transfer troops, which can be said to fully show his fear of Zhou Yu. In the romance, the duel between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang is written so without suspense, it is mostly intended to set off Zhuge Liang's wisdom.

But what I am experiencing now is real history, Liu Bei wants to send 5,000 elite soldiers from Wuling County to Nanjun to listen to the tune, that is to say, 20,000 elite soldiers from the four counties of Jingnan will gather near Nanjun, correspondingly, the defenders of each city will also drop to about 5,000 people, if Zhou Yu pretends to take Nanjun to actually take Jingnan, not to mention other counties, Changsha County bordering Chaisang can be said to be the most dangerous.

Of course, Zhou Yu's attempt to attack Nanjun under the guise of destroying Shu in the romance is also recorded in the official history, so although I was quite worried about the decline of the defense of the four counties of Jingnan, after consulting with Gong Zhi, in addition to my 600 personal soldiers, I brought 4,500 people to Nanjun to listen to the tune.

Because it was an expedition, I didn't want to take Qing'er with me, but as soon as Qing'er heard that I was going to Nanjun, she begged me to take her with her after not seeing her for a long time. I was ashamed of Shana because of what happened to her, so this time I agreed to her without thinking.

When I sent out the army, it was already early autumn, and although the weather was not as hot and dry as in midsummer, I was sweating profusely when I was wearing armor on my horse. Because there were 5,000 troops, my pomp this time far exceeded the previous two times when more than 100 people went to save Taoyuan and 5 or 600 people tried to lure the enemy.

Because among the four counties, Wuling County is the closest to Nanjun, so I arrived at the earliest. I didn't expect Liu Bei to go out of the city to greet me in person, so I was so shocked that I hurriedly rolled off my horse and stepped forward to salute.

Liu Bei hugged me with a smile, and patted my right shoulder twice with his right hand and said to me: "Before, I was very worried that you would make a mess when you urinated so little, and I didn't expect you to not only be able to appoint talents, but also have talents in the military, not only killed the barbarians twice, but also used the way of union to marry the daughter of the barbarian king as a wife, I heard that Nashana is a beauty, in the future, not only Wuling County will not worry, you yourself can be regarded as a good fortune!" ”

I was forced to reluctantly agree to the barbarian king's request to marry his daughter, and I was helpless, and now I see Liu Bei actually being said to be my talent, I am really dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and I can't say what I have to say. Of course, I can't deny that being able to get Shana is really a blessing for me, but I still feel sorry for Qing'er in my heart, so I have such bitterness.

Seeing Liu Bei say this at this time, he could only follow his words and say: "Weichen is the lord, not to mention that the daughter of the barbarian king looks good, even if she looks like a monkey, I can only marry!" ”

These words made Liu Bei and Kong Ming beside him laugh, Liu Bei tapped my head with his finger and said to Kong Ming: "Look at you, a scholar, you are sharp-toothed, and you are so good when you get cheap!" ”

Kong Ming also kept shaking his head, not because he thought I was incorrigible, but because I was so amused that he could only rely on this to soothe his emotions.

After the joke was over, I led the army into the city with Liu Bei, and after entering the city, I ordered Zheng Liang to lead 5,000 troops and horses to follow the guide to the place that had been planned, and I followed Liu Bei into the palace, waiting for the generals of the other three counties to arrive and wait for Liu Bei's dispatch.

I settled down in Liu Bei's mansion, and Qing'er also went to see his wife without mentioning it. It took another two days for all the soldiers and horses of the other three counties to arrive. But the strange thing is that Kong Ming ordered the soldiers and horses of these three counties to be stationed outside the city, that is to say, only my soldiers and horses entered the city among the four counties, and Kong Ming excused himself that the city was crowded and the barracks were full. But now there are only 30,000 troops and horses in Nanjun City, and even if you add my 5,100 people, there are only 35,000 people, and the huge Nanjun has 100,000 troops as the backup of Chibi when Cao Cao's army is at its peak.

I guess Kong Ming must have his plan to let only let me five thousand people enter the city, since I can't guess, I don't bother to think about it, let the genius military master call Wolong and then I just need to follow orders, and defeating Zhou Yu will definitely be just around the corner.

Five days later, Zhou Yu reported that he was about to raise troops from Lukou the next day and sailed to Jingzhou, but at the military meeting that night, Liu Bei had a rare dispute with Zhuge Liang on how to deal with it.
