In order to know clearly whether Shamoke had really come to pursue, Zhuge Song used almost all fifty horses in the entire team.

These horses and their masters were all distributed from Wuling City to Dongting Port in various suitable hiding places, these hiding points from west to east are more and more far apart, in each hiding point he left five people and five horses, Zhuge Song ordered them to immediately get on their horses and retreat in the direction of Dongting Port as soon as they see the barbarian army, but before retreating, they must at least ensure that they are discovered by the barbarian army, it is absolutely impossible to be overtaken, but it is absolutely impossible to run too fast so that the enemy loses the target.

For the sake of insurance, these fifty people were all selected from Zhuge Song's 100-person personal guard, and the leader of the first ambush point was Zheng Liang, who had just been promoted by him to the captain of the 100-person team. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, if the first point does not lead the enemy, Zhuge Song feels that the next nine points are likely to be in vain.

Ma Tan has been sullen since he went out of the city with Zhuge Song, and this Zhuge Song can also understand. He knew that Ma Jian should have made a lot of determination to leave Nanjun and come to him, after all, no matter how much Liu Bei looked down on Ma Tan, he could be regarded as following a monarch, and he was the common lord of these people, including Zhuge Song. And Zhuge Song is just a county guard, or the kind that is not worthy of the name and is very young. Now that he has arrived in Wuling, he has not shown any talents, and he has not made any contributions, so he followed Zhuge Song to "abandon the city and flee" and went back to Nanjun.

However, since Ma Jian listened to Zhuge Song's deployment and saw that his deployment seemed to have the intention of luring the enemy, he was much more energetic, and seemed to have some good strategy, Zhuge Song had the intention to hold him back, so he pretended not to see it, and just urged the rest of the people to rush to Dongting as soon as possible with him.

What Zhuge Song never expected was that when he arrived outside Hanshou County, no one in the city went out of the city to greet him, and the low city walls were full of warriors with guns and bows. Zhuge Song couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, and thought to himself, which one is this singing? A small county commander saw that the Lord Taishou actually dared not open the city to greet him, not far away Zhuge Song previously sent the scout to see Zhuge Song arrived, and the helpless and frightened fast horse rushed to him, the scout looked very angry and complained to Zhuge Song that the county commander of Hanshou County was still kind when he saw him in the county office, who knew the reason why Zhuge Song came here, he immediately changed his face, and directly drove the scout out out of the city with people and horses, and closed the city gate as if he was facing a great enemy.

Zhuge Song, the county commander of Hanshou County, knew that his name was Xie Xian when he knew the basic situation in the county, and there were many fishermen in the county who relied on Dongting Lake to fish, and these fishermen formed their own organizations, although they were under the jurisdiction of the government, they also had their own rules, and the taxes they paid accounted for more than two-thirds of the tax revenue of Hanshou County.

Of course, because Zhuge Song only read the information that Gong Zhi brought to him, and did not ask Gong Zhi about the specific situation of the magistrate from county to county, Zhuge Song is not very familiar with this Xie Xian, but judging from the current behavior of him who dares to do this to Taishou, Zhuge Song guesses that this county order should be a thorn, not a good lord.

Whether Zhuge Song's strategy to fight against the barbarians can be effectively implemented, the cooperation of Hanshou County can be said to account for a very important part, and now the unexpected situation he is facing is really something I didn't expect, no matter what, he has to go to Xie Xian's city to ask him what he wants to do, if Xie Xian suddenly has a stroke in his head and wants to pull the county's people to rebel, Zhuge Song has only more than 500 people, and Zheng Liang is not around, how can Jiang Xiaoyu, who has nothing to do with the dead appearance, be reliable? Then Zhuge Song don't think of any clever plans, desperately scolded, at least stay in Qingshan without fear of no firewood, or really take people back to Nanjun from Dongting Port.

I saw Zhuge Song walking to the foot of Hanshou City, and it was obvious that the thin little old man in the middle of the city should be Xie Xian. Time is urgent, Shamoke can't say when he will chase here, Zhuge Song is not in the mood to talk nonsense with Xie Xian, he took out the big seal of the county city from his arms and shook it at him, and shouted directly to Xie Xian: "Xie Xian!" Do you know that I am the Taishou of Wuling County? Other county commanders stammered when they saw me, are you trying to rebel by doing this? ”

When Zhuge Song shouted this, the archers in the city were very polite and did not point their bows and arrows at him, which made him feel that he always had a little face. Unexpectedly, Xie Xian's expression was not panicked at all when he heard Zhuge Song's words, and he asked very unceremoniously from the city: "You said that you are the Taishou of Wuling County, then let me ask you, the Wuxi barbarians came to attack the county town, you didn't sit in the city and wait for reinforcements, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhuge Song didn't expect him to ask these words, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed after being stunned, Zhuge Song said to him angrily: "What qualifications do you have as a county magistrate to talk to me like this?" I've watched the drama for so many years, and I've only heard that Taishou questioned the county order, where does the county order dare to question the Taishou? ”

Unexpectedly, Xie Xian was not afraid of Zhuge Song's anger at all, but he said to Zhuge Song in a very contemptuous tone: "Too much for the people is too guarded, and if you are too conservative and abandon the people, how can you talk about being too guarded?" If you don't defend it, of course you will have reason to question you in the future! ”

Time seemed to stand still in a moment, and the city was silent, but these words did not make Zhuge Song even more annoyed, but made him secretly surprised in his heart, he knew that he would definitely not be able to enter this Hanshou City in the current situation, but fortunately, his real killing move was not here, so he pretended to be even more disdainful than Xie Xian and replied to the city: "It seems that you haven't heard of my Yuannan victory?" ”

Xie Xian in the city not only did not change at all, but still replied with great disdain: "Killing a hundred people is just a trick like driving dogs and rabbits, and when you hear the enemy of 100,000, you will be so frightened that you will be and urine, and you will flee in the wilderness, what is there to be proud of!" ”

He said this about Zhuge Song, and the warriors around Zhuge Song who had experienced the victory of Yuannan with him seemed indignant, of course, they didn't know that Zhuge Song didn't really run away, so under this strong indignation, they also revealed deep sadness and helplessness.

Zhuge Song thought secretly in his heart: "How can I know your master's plan." Because of the urgency of time, he had no intention of arguing with him, so he just said: "How can a small county magistrate see the means of a county magistrate!" After speaking, he ordered someone to leave the city with him and go straight to Dongting Port, with Xie Xian's matter, it made Zhuge Song even more determined to win a big battle, so that all the soldiers and civilians in the county respected his plan.

There is not much gossip, when Zhuge Song arrived at Dongting Port, it was more than an hour later, and it was past noon, because Wuling was not particularly far from Nanjun, and Zhuge Song's team was only more than 500 pure soldiers, and for combat needs, when he came out of the city, he didn't even bring a servant except Qing'er, so everyone including him only brought simple and unpalatable dry food, but when he arrived at Dongting Port, he saw that the port was extremely prosperous. Zhuge Song had the idea of letting the soldiers eat a good meal of fish before the war.

Although she came out this time to fight, she still brought out the money to buy a few fish. After Zhuge Song took out the money from Qing'er, he gave it to Jiang Xiaoyu and asked him to take his ten people to buy some fish and rice and borrow some simple cooking utensils.

Jiang Xiaoyu showed a strange expression for a moment, but he didn't say much, he just took someone to buy fish, Zhuge Song didn't think much about it, he didn't expect that this guy was really the same as the Jiang Xiaoyu in the book, a character who was born to poke baskets.
