"Fifty ???"

Ma Yan's expression was as frantic as Zhuge Song asking him to lay eggs.

But Zhuge Song just spread his hands helplessly: "There are only a hundred people under me now, and you are still too little?" ”

"You, you-" Ma Jian was so angry that Zhuge Song actually stammered a little, and he said to Zhuge Song with an angry look: "What is the difference between using fifty people to fight the opponent's forward and sending them to death?" ”

"Then with 5,000 men out of the city and 100,000 enemies, are you sure you will come back alive?" Zhuge Song was also not polite, and used his previous wild words to block him here.

"I'm sure I'll win! I would like to make a military order! Invincible to military law! Ma Tan stood up suddenly, and his eyes looked like they were about to be destroyed.

But the more he was like this, the more Zhuge Song couldn't let him go, only to see Zhuge Song shook his head with a smile and said to him: "If you lose, I'll be finished, where else can I have the ability to engage in military law for you." ”

"Alas! The shaft is not enough and conspiracy! Ma Tan was depressed, and he no longer cared about etiquette, and went by himself.

Zhuge Song looked at his distant back and smiled slightly, he instructed a manservant next to him to find Zheng Liang and Jiang Xiaoyu, the soldiers could only rely on the generals, in the process of waiting, Zhuge Song slowly conceived in his heart that he had just had a prototype plan, the last time he calculated Shana, it was because of the first time he went into battle Many things were not well considered, if it wasn't for Zheng Liang at that time, I am afraid that he would have been a prisoner of the barbarians now.

After Zheng Liang and Jiang Xiaoyu arrived, the two of them had completely different expressions.

Needless to say, the excitement on his face was all in the air, compared to the panicked others in the city, the 100,000 barbarians didn't seem to be an undefeatable monster at all, but it was completely a big gift from the other party, just like the military merit given to him by the other party. As for Jiang Xiaoyu, his expression was much calmer, and he didn't look excited or afraid, he didn't care about it. Zhuge Song even suspected that he was willing to join the army and follow him, but it was not because he liked the military career, made more military achievements, and got ahead, but compared with following him, he hated his son to inherit his father's business and be a father-in-law.

Zhuge Song felt that if he had adopted Ma Tan's "middle plan" before, Zheng Liang would definitely be willing to follow Ma Tan, of course, with Ma Tan's current reputation, it would be difficult to say whether Zheng Liang was willing to listen to him. In the long history, countless tragic examples of war have reminded Zhuge Song that in the case of the enemy's strength and weakness, too belligerent will only make him die faster, and the few successful examples tell him that in the case of a huge disparity in strength with the enemy, being able to endure and stand up is the king.

Of course, according to Ma Yan's "next plan" Guang Ren, Guang Ting is too cowardly, and he will also be despised by countless people, including Zheng Liang, who was already quite convinced of Zhuge Song before.

In order not to lose Zheng Liang's convincing of himself, and to let his future horse join the army be willing to be his staff member and give himself ideas, Zhuge Song has now decided to let go.

And the first step is to personally take someone to Gong Zhi to tell him that as a taishou, he is afraid that the barbarians are going to run away!

Yes, you read that right, in the case of the barbarian army, the first step of Zhuge Song's clever plan was to escape from the county.

When Gong Zhi heard that Zhuge Song was leaving, his eyes almost didn't come out of his sockets. As a county guard, when the enemy soldiers invaded the territory, he actually decided to abandon the city and flee, and there were still conditions for abandoning the city and fleeing, Zhuge Song said to Gong Zhi that for his own safety, in addition to his 100-person personal guard, he also asked Gong Zhi to send 500 soldiers to escort him to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Gong Zhi listened to Zhuge Song say to him in disbelief: "Even if the surge in the river will affect the reinforcements crossing the river, there should be no problem for me to go back to Nanjun alone, no matter how brave the Wuxi barbarians are, they will never chase me to Nanjun, not to mention the surging river, how can their small bamboo row be able to force it to cross?" At that time, I don't have to go back to Nanjun, I just need my hundreds of people to wait along the river on the north bank, and if the barbarian soldiers dare to force the crossing, I will wait on the north bank to bury their corpses! ”

It took Gong Zhi a long time to recover from the shock, and he was helpless no less than Ma Yan, who had been teased by Zhuge Song before, and said to Zhuge Song with a sad face: "You are hiding on the north bank of the river and sit back and relax, but what about the people of Wuling County?" If you lose Wuling City and the people of the whole county suffer, aren't you afraid that the lord will condemn you? ”

Zhuge Song walked up to him, hugged Gong Zhi's shoulders affectionately, and said to him, "Master Gong, you're a layman, aren't you?" The barbarian king wants to arrest me as a son-in-law, and it's not you? In other words, it wasn't because he wanted to break Wuling City and catch me by the way, but because I was in Wuling City, he went straight to the county seat. When the time comes, when I leave the city, I will make the pomp and circumstance more obvious, so that the people of the county will know that I have fled to Nanjun for fear of the barbarian king. When the barbarian king comes and sees me running away, he can't catch up with me, and he has face, and then you send some gifts to his military tent and send a talking messenger to talk to him, and he will almost certainly retire by then! ”

Gong Zhi listened to Zhuge Song's words, thought about it, and felt that what Zhuge Song said was right. Then he said to Zhuge Song: "Lord Taishou is reasonable! It's just that this won't be good for your reputation in the future! The lord may also be blamed when he returns from Soochow. ”

Zhuge Songxin said Gong Zhi, you don't have to pretend to be here with me, in fact, you would have liked Liu Bei to remove me and let you sit in this position.

But after all, he still has to transfer five hundred people from Gong Zhi, and at this time, he can't tell the truth and scold him for fake mercy, so he has to compliment Gong Zhi and say: "In fact, Song'er has been in office for so long, and he has already seen that he is not competent for the ability of any county Taishou, and I do this for the sake of the people of a county, if the lord is to blame, this Wuling County will depend on you at that time!" ”

Gong Zhi hurriedly humbled and said that some lords would definitely know that after this limelight passed, he would personally go to Nanjun to welcome Zhuge Song back to be the Taishou.

After Gong Zhi finished speaking, he immediately took Zhuge Song to the military camp to order troops, and said that he would definitely select a battalion of the most elite soldiers for Zhuge Song to escort him back to Nanjun, Zhuge Song also promised that once he returned to Nanjun, if the barbarian soldiers still surrounded Wuling City and did not retreat, he would definitely admonish Kong Ming's military division and let him send troops to relieve the siege as soon as possible.

After the power of the five hundred soldiers was in hand, Zhuge Song almost immediately split the five hundred people into ten teams and put them into the ten teams of ten people before him, so it seems a bit reversed, so let's put it this way, that is, Zhuge Song promoted the previous ten captains of the ten teams, including Zheng Liang, to the captains of the sixty teams, and all the previous generals of the five hundred soldiers were left to Gong Zhi for him to make other arrangements.

Gong Zhi was not embarrassed except for some curiosity about this matter, Zhuge Song knew that this matter was very simple for Gong Zhi, these five hundred people should be a parting gift for themselves, as for the original army structure, Gong Zhi only needed to use the generals left by Zhuge Song to rebuild this battalion as the basis, and recruit another five hundred people to rebuild this battalion of soldiers and horses.

For Gong Zhi, this is just a matter of spending a little more money.

But for Zhuge Song, the qualitative leap achieved by having the command of a hundred sergeants and the command of six hundred sergeants has been reflected in the scale of the entourage during the march, even if there is no war with the barbarians now.

There are two ways to go from the county seat to Nanjun, one is to go north out of Gong'an Port and go ashore at Jiangjin Port, and the other is to go west to Dongting Port, enter the Yangtze River through Dongting Lake, and go to Wulin Port to Jiangling. Compared with these two roads, it is undoubtedly closer to the north of the Public Security Port, and Zhuge Song's original plan was to go to the Public Security Port first and then decide the next step based on the situation.

But just when he led the army out of the city, Tanma suddenly came to report in a hurry, saying that the barbarian king was afraid that he would escape from Wuling County, and had ordered Shamoke to lead the vanguard army to Wuling day and night.

However, when Shamoke arrived outside Taoyuan County, he led the army to station, and no longer ventured, and seemed to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive before continuing to march towards the county seat.

When Zhuge Song heard this, he had a plan, he decided not to go north to Gong'an Port first, and he took these 600 people to the west and went straight to Dongting Port on the grounds that it was no longer safe to go north. The Taishou who fled from the enemy would inevitably be pointed out by the people in the city, and Zhuge Song couldn't care so much at this time, just urging the troops to advance to Dongting Port as soon as possible.

Dongting Port is located in the west of a county called Hanshou, Guan Erye was once named the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, Zhuge Song does not know what to do with this Hanshou County, from the county seat to Dongting Port along the way belongs to the remaining veins of Xuefeng Mountain, hills and valleys, mountains and forests, if it is an ambush, it can be said that there are many better locations, but Zhuge Song does not know if Shamoke can go straight through the county seat of Wuling County in order not to escape, and go deep into such a dangerous place to chase him.
