However, it is said that after the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei led most of the army to move troops to the mouth of the Youjiang River. Ordered Sun Qian to bring gifts to congratulate Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu received the gift and came to thank him in person, because the Sun and Liu families were eyeing the fat of Jingzhou, and after testing each other with words, they ended up with an agreement that Zhou Yu would take it first, and if he couldn't take it, Liu Bei would take it.

The Eastern Wu army and Cao Cao fought fiercely for more than a month, and the southern county could not go down, and suddenly Zhou Yu was seriously injured by the arrow, and then Cao Jun was insulted, and blood spurted in his mouth, and he fell under the horse, and he had died.

Liu Bei's army was stunned, but Kong Ming Chengzhu was in his chest, and decided that Zhou Yu faked his death, while transferring military horses, taking advantage of Cao Ren's military horses to rob Wuzhai, he actually captured Nanjun, Xiangyang, and Jingzhou counties, but Zhou Yu defeated Cao's army in vain and ended up with the tragedy of not getting a city.

Then Lu Su came to negotiate, and the two sides agreed to determine the ownership of Jingzhou based on whether Liu Qi was alive or not. Yi recommended Ma Liang to Liu Bei, Ma Liang entered the south to conquer the four counties, Liu Bei then used Ma Liang as a job, and the other four brothers of the Ma family also had other appointments.

If you want to say that the youngest of the five brothers of the Ma family, it is Ma Yan. He was only in his twenties when he met Liu Bei with his brothers, but his eyes were full of brilliance and sharpness, and he was not at all as honest as the rest of his brothers.

Zhuge Song almost immediately saw Liu Bei's dislike when he looked at Ma Yan, and his expression showed a trace of unhappiness in an instant. He didn't know if this unhappiness was because Ma Jian was a little too public, but for Ma Liang's sake, Liu Bei didn't say much.

Soon Liu Bei played Liu Qi as the assassin of Jingzhou, and ordered Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou, Mi Zhu and Liu Feng to guard Jiangling, with Zhang Fei as the vanguard and Zhao Yun as the queen, and led 15,000 troops to attack Lingling.

The process of taking Lingling does not need to be detailed, and it is said that Zhao Yun killed Xing Daorong, Liu Xian was captured alive by Zhang Fei, and Liu Xian was put back to Lingling to persuade his father to surrender, Kong Ming taught Liu Du to remain the county guard. His son Liu Xian went to Jingzhou to run errands with the army, and the residents of Lingling County were all happy.

When Zhao Yun led another 3,000 military horses to take Guiyang, although there was also an incident during which Zhao Yun rejected the Fan clan and caused the two sides to fight again, the matter of taking Wuling was quickly put on the agenda.

Because it was about his own body, Zhuge Song was particularly concerned when discussing that Zhang Fei would go to take Wuling County. He deliberately looked at Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was also because he saw it as empty because of the bet with Zhuge Song in the past, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he shouted directly at Zhuge Song: "You kid, don't force me to use your eyes to force me to be old Zhang, when I take Wuling County, I will go to beg my brother and you, this feeling of losing a bet and losing for two years is the same as owing money, I can't stand it anymore!" ”

Most of the people present witnessed with their own eyes that after Zhang Fei lost the bet, Liu Bei promised Xu Zhuge Song Wuling County Taishou. At this time, when I heard Zhang Fei mention it, I thought of the past, and everyone laughed, and there was a look in my eyes that I didn't expect to have today.

However, after laughing, Kong Ming said: "Song'er's little scholar, fifteen years old, how can he be a county guard?" The bet he made with the three generals that day was just a child's joke! After speaking, he turned to look at Zhuge Song.

Zhuge Song knew that if he got off the donkey, although he could win the favor of Liu Bei and Kong Ming, the opportunities he had painstakingly seized before would be in vain.

Thinking of this, he stiffened up and didn't look at Kong Ming, just looked at Liu Bei, and plucked up the courage to speak: "Song'er only knows that Jun has no jokes, the lord has always had an outstanding reputation, and benevolence and virtue are spread all over the world. If it is just because Song'er is young, he can't say it, he can't believe it, and everyone hears it, how can he return to his heart? ”

After speaking, he bowed deeply at Liu Bei, not daring to look up at him again.

"Song'er!" Kong Ming sneered at Zhuge Song, obviously moving his liver fire. But Zhuge Song couldn't care about that, and continued his blunt words just now with his silence.

Zhuge Song didn't know that Liu Bei had regretted his original jokes, but he was a master after all, and he had already calculated the gains and losses in this in an instant, so he personally sat down and helped Zhuge Song up, and said to him with a smile: "Song'er rest assured, you have no jokes, what I Liu Bei said, I have regretted it a few times!" After speaking, he turned to Zhang Fei and said: "The third brother, this matter started because of you, and the Wuling will fall on you." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I will succeed immediately!" Zhang Fei hugged his fists at Liu Bei, and then led his troops out to fight.

After going back, Kong Ming naturally reprimanded Zhuge Song again, saying that he was so ambitious at a young age, and he didn't see it at all before. Zhuge Song saw that the official position of the county guard was about to be obtained, so he was just a promise, as if he should not respond, waiting for Zhang Fei's good news.

Sure enough, Gong Zhi killed Jin Xuan and surrendered out of the city, Zhang Fei ordered Gong Zhi to take the seal ribbon to Guiyang to meet Liu Bei, Liu Bei handed over the seal ribbon to Zhuge Song on the spot, and appointed him as the Taishou of Wuling County! Everyone was in an uproar, especially Gong Zhi, who looked at Zhuge Song as if he had lost his soul.

Liu Bei personally went to Wuling Anmin, summoned the officials of Wuling County, and talked in detail about the bet between Zhuge Song and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and once again announced the appointment of Zhuge Song as the Taishou of Wuling. The local officials in the hall all talked about it, but Liu Bei's words at the end of the year directly explained Zhuge Song's true status in this county. He said to the officials below: "Zhuge Taishou is young, and the county affairs are not clear, so he is left here to take more responsibility for supervision and supervision, as for political affairs, the princes can discuss with Gong Zhi to make the county affairs abandoned!" ”

So the local officials in the county were all smiling, Zhuge Song knew that Liu Bei said this, his Taishou was almost like a false position, just like Emperor Han Xian in Xu Du, although he sat on the Golden Palace every day, but the ministers only reported anything to Prime Minister Cao Cheng.

However, Zhuge Song was inconvenient to defend on the spot, so he could only be patient secretly, thinking that it would be better to take this Taishou first, and then it would not be too late to find a way to do things later.

However, although Kong Ming had no good face on him in the past few days because Zhuge Song had to do things that were too guarded, he still had a deep affection for him when he was leaving, and kept telling Zhuge Song that if he couldn't deal with something, he could send a message to him. Zhuge Song remembered how he had been with his husband day and night these days, and once he faced separation at this time, he couldn't help but cry.

Wuling County was placed by Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, and the thirteen counties were led, and the county was now in Linyuan. The predecessor of Wuling County was Qinqianzhong County during the Warring States Period, and there was Yuanshui in the county, because Linyuan was in the upper reaches of Yuanshui, and it could be traced up to Shu, and the downstream could enter Dongting, Yuan, Liershui, Xiangxi, and northern regions were under control.

At the beginning of Zhuge Song's tenure, he was very respectful to Gong Zhi, Gong Zhi because he was Zhuge Liang's person, and Liu Bei had the intention of making him the right to make the county affairs, so he was also very polite to Zhuge Song, and when he asked him about the economic affairs of the county, he also told Zhuge Song what he knew without reservation.

Zhuge Song learned from Gong Zhi that Wuling County is rich in gold, Xiangxi's bamboo, camellia, bud grass, lacquer, especially Chenxi's dansha and Mayang's rich copper, tin, lead and other minerals, are all important sources of income for the county government.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the mining efficiency of gold was still relatively low, and although Zhuge Song came from modern times, he did not know anything about how to improve the gold mining process. To be honest, even if Liu Bei really asked him to be a real power guard, he didn't understand many county affairs, so he was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper first.

However, the Taishou Mansion is indeed let Zhuge Song move in, which is really called a style, a good, the original family members in the Taishou Mansion were all taken back to Nanjun as slaves, as for the original servants, Gong Zhi asked Zhuge Song what he meant, Zhuge Song saw that those slaves were pitiful, but he couldn't bear to bombard them out of the house, so he kept them all, but on the grounds of personal safety, Gong Zhi was asked to send ten strong soldiers with halberds as guards.

In order to save Guan Yu, Zhuge Song became the Taishou of Wuling, and what he cared about most was how much he could control the army when Dongwu sneaked attack, because only if there were enough troops for him to dispatch, he could use the army to play a decisive role at the critical moment. Of course, all this can only be discussed in the long run, when it was 209 AD, the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Zhuge Song's "age" in the Three Kingdoms was only fifteen years old.
