Chapter 14: The 100-Man Team Fights.
But it was said that Zhuge Song was sitting in the position of the Taishou and smirking because he thought of the barbarian woman.
At this time, seeing that everyone was looking at his face, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. In a hurry, he slapped the table with his hand!
The discussion in the hall suddenly stopped, and even Gong Zhi looked at me a little at a loss, Zhuge Song always had to give himself a step after this beat, so he took advantage of the situation and said loudly: "How can this be reasonable!" The little barbarian dared to besiege the county seat, come on! Give me some troops! Come with me now! ”
He thought that his angry shout would definitely be exchanged for a flood of responders, but unexpectedly, none of the people below responded, but instead looked at Gong Zhi.
Although he didn't know the fact that Zhuge Song was set up on the first day, he still made him a little angry that he was so face-broken in front of everyone.
Thanks to Gong Zhihui, he hurriedly got up and came to the center of the council hall to bow to him and said, "Don't do it, Taishou!" ”
Zhuge Song got off the donkey and asked him how he couldn't do it. I only heard Gong Zhi say: "Taishou, you also read the emergency document just now, which said that there are tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers, and with the hundreds of people in Youyang County, the city must have been broken before we got there." With all due respect, there are only 10,000 soldiers in our Wuling City, and some people must be left behind, and the soldiers of the barbarians are far stronger than us in terms of physical fitness and field ability. ”
"Then if you don't go to war, will you let the barbarians wreak havoc and kill our people?" Zhuge Song listened to what Gong Zhi said very reasonably, but after all, he was too guarded, but he couldn't directly agree with his opinion in words.
"It's too guarded, and I can't hide it. The Wuxi barbarians have been in existence since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and they have been going through hundreds of years, as far as I know, their military strength is actually no less than 100,000, and this time it is only the barbarian king who sent his son and daughter to bring a small number of people. Moreover, Youyang County is close to the old nest of the barbarians, far away from our county town, and even farther away from the southern county of the lord. Don't say that we can't win if we go, even if we can win for a while, and anger the barbarian king, when the time comes, we will gather an army of 100,000 people, and even if the lord's rescue arrives, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the enemy. ”
Zhuge Song knew that what Gong Zhi said was the truth, although Liu Bei's strength increased greatly after winning the four counties of Jingnan, but after all, the time was still short, and the last time the three generals came to boast at the wine table, saying that Liu Bei's army in Nanjun had expanded to 30,000 people.
These 30,000 people are already a big increase compared with the previous time in Xinye, and even compared with the time in Jiangxia, but these 30,000 people are the only mobile troops that Liu Bei can transfer out to fight, and the troop configuration of the rest of the counties and cities is only enough to defend the city, or 3,000, or 5,000, and it cannot be transferred at all. It is these 30,000 troops, I am afraid that when the war is made, there will be 10,000 people left to stay in Nanjun. In other words, even if you are in a hurry with the barbarians, Liu Bei personally led a large army to come, and there were only 20,000 people.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Song had already made a decision in his heart. As the saying goes, admit it when it's time to admit it, and become a bear if you don't admit it. Zhuge Song asked Gong Zhi what to do in his opinion. I only heard Gong Zhi say: "On the one hand, you can send someone to Nanjun to report to the lord, and on the other hand, send an envoy to the barbarian military camp to see the son of the barbarian king, or lose money or things, and persuade them to collect troops." ”
Although Zhuge Song also agrees with Gong Zhi's words in his heart, he is too cowardly! That Liu Bei despised him because he was young, and ordered him to be Taishou but let Gong Zhi call the shots in everything, to be honest, Zhuge Song really wanted to make some achievements to show Liu Bei, so that he knew that his "talent" was actually far more than the position of Taishou. Thinking of this, Zhuge Song couldn't help but think of Feng Xiao, and I don't know if Pang Tong has defected to the lord to be the county commander of Leiyang County.
He carefully calculated the gains and losses in his heart, knowing that he had neither military power nor any powerful subordinates now, and rashly hitting a stone with an egg would only laugh and be generous, lose Mr.'s face, and hurt himself, so he decided to forbear it for the time being. So he told Gong Zhi to do what he said! The officials under the hall also breathed a sigh of relief, but when they went out with a smile, Zhuge Song could see from their demeanor and performance that they must be laughing at themselves in their hearts for their thunder and rain, and they screamed loudly at first, but as soon as they heard that the enemy was powerful, they made a turtle with a shrunken head.
Zhuge Song was bored, and the more he thought about it after returning to the bedroom, the more uncomfortable he became, so he called someone to call Qing'er to talk to him to relieve his boredom. Qing'er proposed to go to the creek mountain twenty miles outside the county town, so as to relieve the boredom.
Zhuge Song knew that Qing'er was doing this for his own good, although there was something in the county that was too guarded to travel and the impact was not good, but now he would also open the meeting, and it was clear that he was not needed, and Youyang County was still hundreds of miles away from here, he couldn't go out to play, and it was estimated that no one would care.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Song ordered someone to summon his own personal guards, Zheng Liang may have heard the news of the barbarian rebellion, thinking that Zhuge Song was going to lead the army into battle, and couldn't help but be eager to try. But when he heard that he was just escorting Zhuge Song to Xiaoxi Mountain to play, he immediately turned into a frosted eggplant, although he dared to be angry with Zhuge Song now and didn't dare to speak, but don't be stunned along the way, there is no good face for him.
Zhuge Song looked at him like that, and he was very aggrieved, thinking that Lao Tzu was still depressed, if you have the ability to fight against ten thousand, I will take you to kill the enemy!
The guards at the city gate saw that they were too guarded to travel, so they didn't dare to stop them, but the people in the city all pointed at Zhuge Song one by one, although Zhuge Song didn't know what they were talking about, but he who was sitting in the car could still guess what they meant by putting down the curtains.
At this time, there was no one in the car, and Qing'er saw that Zhuge Song was depressed again, so she took the initiative to hold his hand, did not speak, and stayed quietly with him.
This is the first time Zhuge Song has touched Qing'er's hand, and it is really delicate and soft, and it feels great. The irritability in my heart was thus alleviated, and in less than half an hour, Sui Qing'er got out of the car and arrived at the foot of the creek mountain.
Xiaoxi Mountain is a barren mountain, and usually hunters, woodcutters, or medicine pickers will come. After Qing'er came, she played all the developed scenic spots, and Zhuge Song took her to play here according to the guidance of passers-by, because there was a stream in the mountain, Qing'er said: "Then call it Xiaoxi Mountain!" She was happy to call it that, and Zhuge Song followed her.
Most of the 100-member guards stayed at the foot of the mountain and waited, only Zheng Liang and another squad leader took about 20 people up the mountain with Zhuge Song. Along the way, the birds and flowers are fragrant, the stream is murmuring, and the mood slowly improves.
When he climbed to the top of the mountain, half an hour passed, looking at Wuling City from the mountain, the situation around Wuling City was in full view, but Zhuge Song found that it seemed that the city gate had been closed in broad daylight, and no one was seen moving around the city.
Zhuge Song couldn't help but wonder in his heart, thinking that Gong Zhi was doing this, the enemy was still hundreds of miles away, and he might not come to attack the county seat, so he was so scared that the whole city would be under martial law?
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Song and Qing'er only rested on the mountain for a while, and suddenly saw a herald rushing to the top of the mountain, and as soon as they saw him, they shouted loudly: "Report to Lord Taishou, the big thing is not good, the daughter of the barbarian king saw that it was easy to attack our county, and privately brought a thousand barbarian soldiers along the Yuanshui, and now it has surrounded Taoyuan County, and it is less than a hundred miles away from here!" ”
The herald took a breath and continued: "Lord Gong has closed the four gates now, let me tell you to hurry back to the city, so as not to meet them, if they come quickly and encounter them on the road, it will be bad!" ”
"The enemy is only one thousand, so Lord Gong didn't send troops to relieve the siege of Taoyuan County?" When Zhuge Song heard that the barbarians had actually penetrated so far away from their lair, he couldn't help but ask the herald.
"Lord Gong, Lord Gong said that this may be a plan by the barbarians to lure the enemy, in case the enemy has an ambush in Taoyuan County, the army is in a plan, and the enemy takes advantage of the situation to attack, and the county town will not be guaranteed."
"Put*!" Zhuge Song finally couldn't bear it anymore. He was so angry that he walked back and forth on the ground: "The enemy has 10,000 and he said that the military strength in the county is not superior, and Youyang is close to the enemy's lair." The enemy was only a thousand, and he was far away from the lair, and he said that he was afraid of the enemy's ambush. The next time the enemy will bring a hundred people to the city to call the door, will he say that if he does not open the door, he is afraid that the enemy will attack and slaughter the whole city! ”
The herald saw Zhuge Song angry, and was so frightened that he knelt directly in front of Zhuge Song. Zheng Liang, who was beside Zhuge Song, couldn't hold back at this time, and knelt next to the herald to petition Zhuge Song loudly: "Lord Taishou, your personal guards are the best in the city in terms of soldier quality and weapons and armor, if you believe me, you will take a team of ten people back to the city, just give me ninety people, lend me ten war horses, I will cut off the head of the barbarian general for you, and raise your prestige!" After speaking, he raised his head and looked directly at Zhuge Song, his eyes full of pleading and pride.
Zhuge Song was furious at this time, this Zheng Liang's words were tantamount to pouring another bucket of oil on the fire! Zhuge Song choked and pulled out the sword that was always used as an ornament at his waist, and said loudly: "Okay! I want a general like you! Ben Taishou personally went out and appointed you as the vanguard, and if there is any retreat, he will be beheaded immediately! ”
