Chapter 32: Kong Ming's Concerns

As soon as I heard Kong Ming's words, I was really happy.

I know that the more exploits I have gained under Liu Bei's account at this time, the more troops I will 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. That's why my happiness is from the inside out, and it is manifested on my face and soaked into my heart.

I 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 my words and smiled even brighter.

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

"That's good." Kong Ming suddenly restrained his smile and shouted at me: "Zhuge Songtang listens to the order!" ”

Zhuge Liang's change of color made my heart tighten, but I could only walk down the hall quickly, bowed down and replied seriously: "The last general will listen to the order!" ”

I only heard Zhuge Liang say to me in the hall: "Order Zhuge Song's army and horses to be 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?" I was shocked in my heart, and hurriedly said to Kong Ming: "Mr. remembers wrongly, Song'er brought 5,000 people this time, and it was 500 people!" ”

But Kong Ming said to me 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, he couldn't help but curse angrily in his heart: "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 that I bowed my head and was silent, and actually smiled and said to me, "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?" I didn't dare to speak out against it in front of Liu Bei, so I could only use such words to express my dissatisfaction.

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

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

I listened to Kong Ming's words, although I still felt faintly uneasy, but the matter has come to this point, and I can only accept the order.

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. Knowing that Ma Jian couldn't go with me, I showed a little reluctance, after all, under Hanshou City, it was his strategy that allowed me to get out of the predicament and accidentally captured Shamoke.

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

Since Kong Ming said so, I don't have to say anything, after all, if I say anything more, it is like saying that Ma Liang's talent is not as good as Ma Yan, you must know that the current Ma Liang is far 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, and at this time his belongings had been packed, he was carried by two servants and returned with me to the barracks where my 5,000 men were stationed. In the past few days in Nanjun, I think Ma Liang has already met Ma Yan, and we talked about Ma Jian a lot along the way. In front of his brother, I naturally praised Ma Tan, and Ma Jian really helped me a lot, so my 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.

Because of the memory of the Battle of Jieting, I still have to admire Ma Liang in my heart, and I feel that the evaluation of a person is indeed the person closest to him who has 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 my opinion, Liu Bei said that it is not possible to fight a war, and it is not good to schem, but he can still finally score three points and compete with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, relying on this skill of knowing people and judging people.

In fact, I have never been to this military camp once, and it is usually managed by Zheng Liang, who has gone from the captain of a ten-person team to the captain of a hundred-person team and now manages the five thousand military horses for me.

When Ma Liang and I arrived at the barracks and found him according to the soldier's instructions, he was in the stable to check the quality of the forage. I thought it was funny when I saw him so serious, but he was a bit of a mother-in-law. Of course, in addition to his combat exploits and two miraculous performances, it is this attitude towards his work that is what makes him more and more relieved to take on more.

In order to ensure confidentiality, Ma Liang and I summoned him to the military tent before relaying the lord's orders to him. Compared with my surprise when I learned the news, Zheng Liang was much calmer, he just complained that Kong Ming should directly let us take people to Changsha, so we would not have to run these unjust roads.

In fact, I have always had doubts about this, and for the sake of secrecy of the matter, Kong Ming asked Gong Zhi to take 5,000 people to Nanjun, and then secretly ordered me to take 500 people to Changsha in batches. At present, it seems that my role in Nanjun is that in addition to getting Kong Ming's face-to-face teaching, it is just exchanging Ma Jian for Ma Liang.

But on the battlefield, time is everything. Although I had the same doubts as Zheng Liang in my heart, I still divided the 500 people in my own army into ten waves as soon as possible, and the first wave was that Zheng Liang and Ma Liang and I took all 50 people on horseback, dressed lightly and simply, and set off when everything was packed up.

When I came to Nanjun this time, 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 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 I had to hand over the task of staying behind to an older Wuling general, and Jiang Xiaoyu was only responsible for commanding my remaining 100 personal soldiers, and the task I gave him was to stay in Nanjun to listen to the news, and immediately send someone to send me a message as soon as there was a major change.

Jiang Xiaoyu agreed, but I knew that it was unknown whether this guy was reliable or not. But I had no other choice, and when everything was ready, my first reinforcements to Changsha set off in the middle of the night.
