When Zhuge Song heard Kong Ming's words, he was really happy.

Zhuge Song knew that the more military exploits he had obtained under Liu Bei's account at this time, the more troops he would be able to control in the future. The more troops you can control, the more you can help Guan Yu when Eastern Wu sneaks into Jingzhou in the future. Therefore, his happiness is from the inside out, expressed on his face, and soaked into his heart.

He smiled and said to Kong Ming: "I knew that Mr. must take care of Song'er, what is the great merit for Song'er to stand?" Song'er will never give up! ”

"Really?" Kong Ming listened to Zhuge Song's words and smiled even brighter.

Zhuge Song didn't think much about it, but tried to make himself serious, and nodded heavily at Kong Ming: "Really! ”

"That's good." Kong Ming suddenly restrained his smile and shouted loudly to Zhuge Song: "Zhuge Song Hall listens to orders!" ”

Kong Ming's change of color made Zhuge Song's heart tighten, but he could only walk down the hall quickly, bowing down and answering seriously: "The last general will listen to the order!" ”

I only heard Zhuge Liang say to him in the hall: "Order Zhuge Song's army and horses to be five hundred, divided into ten teams, send a wave every half an hour, go to Changsha City in the starry night to take over everything in the city, and hold Changsha City for ten days from the attack of the Wu army!" Ten days later, reinforcements did not arrive, and the city was not guilty. Within ten days, if you can't hold on, come and see you! ”

"Huh?" Zhuge Song was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said to Kong Ming: "Mr. misremembered, Song'er brought 5,000 people this time, and it was 500 people!" ”

But Kong Ming said to Zhuge Song like this: "Sir, I know that it is 5,000 people, but it is easy for the Wu army to be detected by the Wu army when the large group of people goes to Changsha, and there are also defenders in Changsha City, and these 500 people are just to ensure your safety and let you have some personal soldiers available!" ”

Although he didn't dare to show it, Zhuge Song couldn't help but scold angrily in his heart at this time: "I'm tired!" It's a shame that I'm still your descendant, and you only let me take 500 people to guard Changsha City! There are only 5,000 old and weak soldiers in that city now, and if the Wu army gathers, let alone ten days, it will take my life in less than half a day! ”

Kong Ming saw Zhuge Song bowing his head and was silent, and actually said to him with a smile: "What's the matter, Song'er?" If you can hold Changsha for ten days, the Wu soldiers will retreat, and then you will be the first major achievement in the army of this war against Wu, and it is just a guess of mine that the Wu soldiers will come to attack Changsha, if the Wu army does not come, you will not be in the slightest danger, right? ”

"What if Wu Jun comes?" Zhuge Song didn't dare to speak out against it in front of Liu Bei, so he could only use such words to express his dissatisfaction.

Kong Ming walked down the hall with a smile and patted Zhuge Song on the shoulder and said to him: "I also said before, if the Wu army comes, although it is elite, but the number will not be too many, there are still 5,000 men and horses in Changsha City to dispatch, although the Wu soldiers are fine, the city of Changsha is strong, and you only need to hold the city tightly at that time, and do not fight with them in the field." ”

Kong Ming looked at Ma Liang with a smile, pointed at him and said to Zhuge Song: "Besides, I also ordered Ji Chang to go with you, Ji Chang has Wang Zuozhicai, you can discuss with him in case of trouble, and there will be no problem in keeping a small Changsha!" ”

Zhuge Song listened to Kong Ming's words, although he still felt faintly uneasy, but the matter had come to this point, and he could only receive orders in front of Liu Bei.

The next thing is to collect the brocade silk with Liu Bei's seal from Kong Ming to Changsha to temporarily receive all rights. And Kong Ming specifically mentioned that there was no need to let Ma Jian know about this trip, and he wanted to leave Ma Jian in Nanjun for some time first. Zhuge Song knew that Ma Jian couldn't go with him, and he showed a little reluctance, after all, under Hanshou City, it was his strategy that allowed him to get out of the predicament and accidentally captured Shamoke.

Kong Ming saw that Zhuge Song was reluctant, so he pointed at Ma Liang and said: "I deducted you a young Chang and returned you a Ji Chang, no matter how you calculate it, you earned it, don't bargain with me here." ”

Since Kong Ming said so, Zhuge Song didn't want to say much, after all, saying anything more would be like saying that Ma Liang's talent was not as good as Ma Yan, you must know that the current Ma Liang is much higher than his younger brother in terms of fame and strength on the surface.

Because Ma Liang had already learned about this from Kong Ming in advance, he had already packed his belongings, carried them on the back of two servants, and returned to his military camp with Zhuge Song, where his 5,000 men and horses were stationed. Zhuge Song has been in Nanjun for a few days, thinking that Ma Liang has already met Ma Yan, and he and Ma Liang have talked about Ma Jian a lot along the way. In front of his brother Zhuge Song, he naturally praised Ma Tan, and Ma Jian really helped him a lot, so Zhuge Song's praise was not much exaggerated, except for some icing on the cake, it was completely from the heart.

Ma Liang, on the other hand, was modest, saying that his younger brother always likes to talk rhetorically, and many things stay in theory, and it is easy to mess up as soon as they are moved to reality, so Zhuge Song must be cautious in using them.

Because of the memory of the Battle of Jieting, Zhuge Song still had to admire Ma Liang in his heart, and felt that the evaluation of a person was indeed the person closest to him who had the most right to speak!

Speaking of the right to speak on Ma Tan, Liu Bei's comments on Ma Jian when Kong Ming was lonely can only say that Liu Bei is too accurate to see people, in Zhuge Song's view, Liu Bei, as a monarch who can't fight a war, can't talk about scheming, and can't do anything about strength, can finally make a full three, and compete with Cao Cao Sun Quan, relying on this skill of knowing people and judging people.

In fact, Zhuge Song has never been to this military camp once, and he is usually managed by Zheng Liang, he has gone from the captain of a ten-person team to the captain of a hundred-person team and now to the five thousand military horses for Zhuge Song.

When Zhuge Song and Ma Liang came to the barracks and found Zheng Liang according to the soldiers' instructions, Zheng Liang was checking the quality of the forage in the stable. Zhuge Song thought it was very funny when he saw him so serious, but he was a bit of a mother-in-law. Of course, in addition to his military exploits and two miraculous performances, it is his attitude towards work that is what reassures Zhuge Song more and more that makes him take on more work.

In order to ensure confidentiality, Zhuge Song and Ma Liang summoned Zheng Liang to the military tent before relaying the lord's order to him. Compared with Zhuge Song's surprise when he learned the news, Zheng Liang was much calmer, he just complained that Xia Kongming should directly let us take people to Changsha, so as to save a lot of things about running these unjust roads, but he didn't pay much attention to defending Changsha.

Zhuge Song has always had doubts about this, to say that for the sake of secrecy, Kong Ming should ask Gong Zhi to take 5,000 people to Nanjun, and then secretly order himself to take 500 people from Wuling to Changsha in batches. At present, in addition to getting Kong Ming's face-to-face teaching, he just exchanged Ma Jian for Ma Liang.

But on the battlefield, time is everything. Although he had the same doubts as Zheng Liang in his heart, Zhuge Song still divided the five hundred people in his own soldiers into ten waves as soon as possible, the first wave was that he, Zheng Liang, and Ma Liang took all fifty people on horseback, traveled lightly, and set off immediately when everything was cleaned up.

Zhuge Song came to Nanjun this time, and Jiang Xiaoyu came with him, but although his ability is good, most of them are reflected in the water, and he is still young, and he does not have the prestige that Zheng Liang accumulated because of his military exploits before Zheng Liang in the army. So obviously, let him stay and command the remaining 4,000 people, and the horses are estimated to be unable to suppress the field. So Zhuge Song had no choice but to hand over the task of staying behind to an older Wuling general, and Jiang Xiaoyu was only responsible for commanding Zhuge Song's remaining 100 personal soldiers, and Zhuge Song gave him the task of staying in Nanjun to listen to the news, and as soon as there was a major change, he immediately sent someone to Changsha to deliver a message to himself.

Jiang Xiaoyu agreed, but Zhuge Song knew that it was unknown whether this guy was reliable or not. However, he had no other choice, and when everything was ready, the first reinforcements to Changsha set off in the vast night.
