The news of the marriage between the Langya Zhuge family and the Xiangyang Kuai family has become the second hot topic in Xiangyang City after the marriage between Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and the Cai family, a wealthy family in Xiangyang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info As Sima Hui, the matchmaker who said about this marriage, said, the success of this marriage actually allowed Zhuge Yimen, who came south, to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou. Through marriage, the Zhuge family can better integrate into the scholar circle of Jingzhou and have a good geographical relationship with Jingzhou. At this point, the Zhuge family can be regarded as half of Jingzhou's famous family.

For this marriage, in the eyes of Jingzhou officials, it is full of political implications, just like the marriage between the lord of Jingzhou and the Cai family. However, for the two families who were people at that time and for the two who were unmarried, the marriage was purely natural, joyful, and not utilitarian. Kuai Qi is satisfied with Zhuge Yan, and Zhuge Yan likes Kuai Qi, which is enough.

Because both families are characters with heads and faces, this marriage naturally has to rely on the etiquette system, and the period is full of cumbersomeness. Fortunately, both sides lived in Xiangyang, and the war did not spread, so there was plenty of time to do this. Adoption, asking for names, najib, recruitment, and invitation are the first five of the six ceremonies for marriage, and they are the preparations for marriage.

Since the two families who are married still have some friendship and are relatively familiar with each other, this series of preparations is just a formality. The wedding date was set for April of the following year, so as not to conflict with the wedding date of the sovereign. Until the last day of the wedding, the two who thought they were fiancés were not allowed to see each other.

For nearly five months from the current wax moon to April next year, the leaders of the two families are preparing for the wedding in addition to the New Year. It is the wish of the two families to complete all the preparations smoothly and wait for the day of welcoming their relatives peacefully. However, a piece of news that was ordinary in troubled times came and interrupted the two families' originally peaceful preparations. Yu Zhang Taishou Zhou Shu died of illness.

Yuzhang County is a part of Yangzhou, which is located in the east of Jingzhou, closely connected to Jiangxia County, and can be regarded as Liu Biao's easy land. The reason why it was not occupied in the past was because Jingzhou was not yet stable, Yuzhang Taishou was still appointed by the imperial court, and there was no hostility to Jingzhou. But now, when Northern Jingzhou has been basically unified, Liu Biao's ambitions have also swelled slightly: Yuzhang's Taishou Zhoushu is dead, and the new Yuzhang Taishou sent by the imperial court will have to wait a few months to come, why can't I use these few months to occupy Yuzhang and officially own this territory, so as to prepare for the future possession of Jiangdong?

Although he is in his fifties, Liu Biao's heart has not cooled. Even he felt the urgency of time. He is already an old man, and he can only do things for a few years. Even if you don't work hard to dominate the world, you have to leave a rich family property for your children and grandchildren.

So, he quickly asked people to find Zhuge Xuan: "You know that I also have the ability to accept my fate and assassinate Shi or Taishou now." I heard that there is no one in Yuzhang in the east, and I want to ask Mr. to take charge of things over there. Although he understands that Mr. is very busy now, this opportunity is very rare for us in Jingzhou. Yuzhangjun is not simple, but I believe in the ability of Mr. ”

"Understood." Zhuge Xuan nodded happily. The county taishou is a powerful position with a salary of 2,000 stones, and this official position will be famous all over the world. This is also the long-cherished wish of the scholars.

"Yuzhang, this place is not simple. Therefore, everything will be up to you. If you have any needs, you can ask me directly, and I will try my best to meet you. Liu Biao encouraged Zhuge Xuan, "You must stand firm." This will facilitate our future Yangzhou strategy. ”

"Let me go home and think about that." Zhuge Xuan said solemnly. He felt that this was a heavy responsibility, that he needed some time to think, and that he also needed to take care of things at home.

"Hmm." Liu Biao nodded, and gently patted Zhuge Xuan's shoulder, the meaning of entrustment was already very heavy.

Returning home from the state governor's mansion, Zhuge Xuan gathered his family to announce the news.

"That's a good thing! After becoming a taishou, our family's life and status will all be better. In front of his family, Zhuge Xuan was so happy that he danced with his hands.

"But now at home...... Yan'er and Qi'er's marriage, don't you care? Zhuge Xuan's wife couldn't get used to her husband's ecstasy, and frowned and said, "Can you wait until the wedding is over before leaving." ”

"Nope." Zhuge Xuan shook his head resolutely, "This is a rare opportunity for our Zhuge family. I don't want to give up. As for the wedding, it can be decided by you staying at home, and the preparations are almost done for now. There should be nothing more troublesome. If there is anything that cannot be handled, you can also entrust Sima Hui to do it. He's the matchmaker for this marriage! ”

"That's all there is to it." Zhuge Xuan's wife nodded helplessly. She could not convince her husband, and she could only support his decision.

"Well, you guys have one for me. In a few days, you will go with me to Yuzhang to take up your post. There is still some time before the New Year, if our speed is faster, we should be able to go to Yuzhang for the New Year. At this moment, Zhuge Xuan seemed a little impatient, and he said to his nephews and nieces in a hurry.

At home, he only planned to leave his wife, Yan and Xu Ding and others who lived behind. He was going to go alone, because it would be much quicker. At this time, time is undoubtedly successful. Because he didn't know if other powerful people would send his own Yuzhang Taishou to the post, he felt more and more urgent.

"But, then your father-in-law is safe?" Regarding Zhuge Xuan's decision, Li Sheng was slightly worried. He heard that Yuzhang was a place full of mountains and rivers and thieves, and he feared for his father-in-law's life.

"Don't worry! Lord Liu Biao will send a Jingzhou army to follow us to Yuzhang. We don't need to bring our own people along. Zhuge Xuan didn't care much about this.

"Then can the father-in-law choose to follow the generals who went to Yuzhang?" Li Sheng asked suddenly.

"I guess so. Master Liu Biao said that he would do his best to meet my request. Zhuge Xuan nodded, but he was surprised by Li Sheng's question: "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I want two generals to join our team." Li Sheng said calmly.

"Relationship, huh?" Zhuge Xuan laughed: "What do you want these two generals to do?" ”

"Accompany me to practice martial arts. I heard Master Xu Ding say that the two of them have good kung fu. If you wait for Master Xu and Master Peng to come to Yuzhang, it will take at least half a year. I would like someone to answer the questions that have arisen during this period. Li Sheng snickered treacherously. He is lying here. In fact, although Xu Ding and Peng Ling usually go around Xiangyang City, they didn't find any particularly outstanding characters. Not to mention, warriors who are stronger than them.

"That's right." Zhuge Xuan nodded clearly, "I don't know what position they are in now." If it's an important figure in the Jingzhou army, I can't be adjusted. is stronger than Mr. Xu and Mr. Peng, don't you ask me to transfer the city gate general of Xiangyang, Lord Wenpin. ”

"No, no." Li Sheng hurriedly waved his hand to deny, "Master Xu only asked their names, and didn't know their positions. However, listening to Master Xu's description, it seems that the official positions of these two people are not very high. ”

"If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with that. You tell me their names and I'll look them up for you. As soon as Zhuge Xuan heard that this was the case, he agreed with his mouth.

"Hmm." Seeing that his father-in-law agreed, Li Sheng was a little excited, and said: "One of these two people is Nanyang Huang Zhong, and the other is Yiyang Wei Yan. Huang Zhong is a little older than his uncle, and Wei Yan is a little younger, but similar to his eldest brother-in-law. ”

"Oh! These two people. Can they really beat Mr. Xu and Mr. Peng? It's just a nobody. Zhuge Xuan listened to the two little-known names, and became a little puzzled.

"I don't know, that's what the two gentlemen said." Li Sheng pouted helplessly, "It's all about finding a companion for me." ”

"Well, that's fine." Zhuge Xuan hesitated for a while and finally agreed, and at the same time asked Li Sheng: "Well, Mr. Xu and Mr. Peng also ask you to talk about it." Although they are now my family members, I know that they really listen to you the most. ”

"Got it." Li Sheng nodded apologetically, "I will convince them of the things that let them stay." ”

The family meeting ended like this, and Li Shengjing went to the backyard. As the true "master" of those people, he had to convince them to stay.

“…… Let's all stay. If this is an order from you and the master, we will naturally agree. But in this case, who is responsible for the safety of the son and the master? After listening to Li Sheng's explanation, Xu Ding and Peng Ling asked in unison. It's not just their worries, it's the worries of everyone here. In their eyes, no matter what status Li Sheng is now, he is their little military advisor and their comrade-in-arms who shares life and death.

"Don't worry, I've found two people who can act as guards." Li Sheng said with a smile, "In this Xiangyang, there are Nanyang Huang Zhong and Yiyang Wei Yan, these two people have the courage of ten thousand people, and they are comparable to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei you know." ”

"Is there really such a person in Jingzhou?" Xu Ding and Peng Ling couldn't help but wait for their big eyes. They were gearing up, as if they wanted to fight Huang Zhong and Wei Yan now.

"Don't worry! As long as the righteous father can transfer them, where are you afraid that there will be no way to compete with them when you go to Yuzhang in half a year? Li Sheng smiled happily, but asked them: "I know these two people from other sources, but I recommended them to my father-in-law with your name." So when my father-in-law asked about you in the future, he asked you to help you reconcile one or two, and said that he had heard about it in a restaurant. ”

"Understood." Although he still didn't understand why Li Sheng said this, since he asked Xu Ding and Peng Ling to do so, he naturally agreed. He all thought that Li Sheng must have an internal reason for doing this: "Maybe it's because I don't want the Zhuge family to know about the existence of the intelligence agency that Aunt Mei and her control have." "The two of them don't want to pay too much attention to these twists and turns. When they knew that there were still these two powerful characters in Jingzhou, their minds were completely focused on these two people.

"I'm looking forward to fighting them." Both of them are of general mind about this. They are not generals, but they are martial idiots, thinking that they can get the advice of masters every day.

A few days later, Zhuge Xuan's request was finally met by Liu Biao. Liu Biao ordered Zhonglang General Huang Zhong to lead 1,500 troops to assist Zhuge Xuan in defending Yuzhang. And in this 1,500 army, there are 500 parts led by Wei Yan. At that time, Wei Yan was the captain of the city gate under the account of General Jianwei, and Huang Zhong was just a vain Zhonglang general who obeyed the command of Liu Biao himself, and they were all people who were not very successful in the Jingzhou army.

Both of them were surprised and delighted by the transfer to other counties, and they were shocked: how could this newly appointed Yuzhang Taishou know them, and among the generals of Jingzhou, they only named the two of them to serve in Yuzhang's garrison, and they were happy: If they leave the peaceful place of Xiangyang and go to the dangerous place of Yuzhang, they are very likely to get the opportunity for promotion. The thief-ridden Yuzhang may be a dangerous hell for civil officials, but for military generals who think they have ability, it is undoubtedly a road to prosperity. Because here, the military generals have the possibility to establish meritorious deeds.

Whether it is surprise or joy, this is the order of Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou. The two of his subordinates have only one way to obey. Entering the Yuzhang garrison camp that had just been organized, they did not see the figure of Yuzhang Taishou Zhuge Xuan. It wasn't until a few days before they were ready to leave, when they needed to hold a mobilization meeting, that they saw the new Yuzhang Taishou Zhuge Xuan.

"I'm just a literati and don't know much about military affairs, so I can only ask you for everything. I hope that through the joint efforts of all of us, we can keep the Yuzhang and pave the way for the future attack of the Lord. Zhuge Xuan, who met for the first time, was not as difficult as he imagined, he encouraged everyone at the mobilization meeting, and handed over the responsibility of leading the army directly to Huang Zhong.

"Thank you, Lord Zhuge for your trust." Huang Zhong said gratefully. He couldn't help but have a little admiration and respect for the literati Taishou with a little military temperament in front of him.

For Huang Zhong, the position he now holds as Zhonglang General is slightly lower than that of the county taishou, but because he and the county taishou belong to the central and local systems, they are about the same level, so there is no need to show such respect to Zhuge Xuan. However, this is just an official article on the surface, and in Jingzhou, under the public account of Liu Biao, who was born as a literati, the atmosphere of emphasizing literature over military force is already very serious. Usually walking on the road, even civil officials with a slightly lower rank than him can call him around, not to mention the county taishou who has a slightly higher official rank than him.

"If a military general has soldiers, he has status." Huang Zhong had already understood this truth. Therefore, he attached great importance to this opportunity to lead the troops alone.

"Huh!" Zhuge Xuan shook his hand and laughed, he pushed Li Sheng behind him to his side, and asked Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to say, "Actually, I didn't know about you. It was only when my righteous son asked by name that you should be transferred to this garrison, and I agreed. Now I hand him over to you, and I hope you will temper him well. Because he doesn't want to be a civil official, he wants to be a military general. Everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't convince him in this matter, so I have to let him go. ”

"That's no problem. It's just that I wonder how Childe knows about us? Huang Zhong and Wei Yan asked at the same time. They felt that this thing was really a little strange: they originally thought that Zhuge Xuan had taken a fancy to him and transferred him. But I don't want to be like this at all, and all the people who recommend myself to go out are such a young man who is the crown. That's surprising, isn't it?

"The two of you will become my martial arts master in the future, so please don't call me Gongzi, just call me Sheng'er or Zixu." Li Sheng said humbly, he looked at the two of them and nodded, and then explained: "Actually, I don't know the names of the two of them. It's just that my two martial arts enlightenment masters often linger in the market taverns in Xiangyang, and I heard from the people that there are two generals who are so martial arts right now, my sister's marriage is still being handled, and the generals in the family need to stay and help. So they told me about you. ”

"I see." The two nodded indistinctly. Although this reason is somewhat surprising. But it's somewhat acceptable. So they said, "If Zixu is interested in this martial art, we should do our best to guide you." ”

"That's right. The master is above, and he is personally worshiped by the disciples. Li Sheng suddenly knelt down as he spoke, and couldn't stop him from kowtowing to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan three times, which was regarded as officially bowing to them.

"Zixu treats me with a teacher's courtesy, how can I not do my best?" Huang Zhong was so moved that he almost cried.

At that moment, Zhuge Xuan and the order set up a feast, and drank and got drunk in the camp with these sergeants, thinking that it meant connection.

Seven days later, the army was opened, and Zhuge Xuan went to Yuzhang with the army to take office. The route it takes is: board the ship from Fancheng on the north bank of Xiangyang, go south to the Yangtze River along the coastal water, and then take a boat from Chaisang to Pengze, you can see the Lushan Mountain in the west, and Yuzhang, which is also called the Infant City, is located in the south of Lushan Mountain, the west of Nanchang Mountain. On the opposite side of it is the Xicheng across the Gan River.

Zhuge Xuan was afraid of being taken first by others, so he advanced quickly. Because all the way was Liu Biao's sphere of influence, and there were 1,500 men and horses as escorts, the road was safe and sound, and there was no attack. After a month's long journey, I finally saw the gate of Yuzhang. At this point, Zhuge Xuan can finally breathe a sigh of relief: there are no soldiers and flags on the head of Yuzhang's city, and it is obvious that this is still an empty city.

As soon as he entered Yuzhang City, Zhuge Xuan quickly let people take over the Yamen, and followed Huang Zhong's suggestion to divide the army into two parts: the inner army was the city defense force, the number of 500 was commanded by Wei Yan, the captain of the city gate, and the outer army was led by Huang Zhong himself, and he set up a village on the edge of Poyang Lake in the east of Yuzhang City. At the same time, a new army was formed, composed of local people in Yuzhang County, with a number of about 500, and Li Sheng, the righteous son of Zhuge Xuan, led the new army in the name of Governor Quanzhi. And Zhang Ji, a native of Nanyang, is the county and is in charge of political affairs. With his nephew Zhuge Liang, he was promoted.

After carrying out this series of personnel adjustments, Zhuge Xuan basically mastered the inside and outside of Yuzhang City. Although some of the original officials of Yuzhang County used this to ridicule him, the Taishou, and said: "Take your son as an official." But he always had to admit that if it weren't for Zhuge Xuan's appointment of a group of cronies to hold important military and political positions, he was afraid that Jingzhou would be driven out of Yuzhang less than a month later.

At that time, Yuzhang County was controlled by the Luo clan, which had 3,000 families, and did not allow others to infect Yuzhang by force.

So Zhuge Xuan had to appoint his sons and nephews to important positions in the county on the one hand, and on the other hand, he tried to appease the Luo clan three times and twice, and promoted Luo Zhao and Luo Mao, the sons of the Luo clan, as filial piety, so that he could gain a firm foothold in Yuzhang.

When all this was largely completed, it was February of the fifth year of the first peace. A news that surprised Zhuge Xuan came: "The imperial court appointed and dismissed Zhu Hao as Yuzhang Taishou, and will come to Yuzhang to take up his post today." ”

"What? Is it civilization? Zhuge Xuan and Zhu Hao are old acquaintances in Luoyang, and he called Zhu Hao's words.

Zhuge Xuan knew that Zhu Hao was the kind of person who could do everything with a clear eye, and since he was appointed by the imperial court as Yuzhang Taishou, he would definitely come to take up his post. And Zhuge Xuan, for the sake of Liu Biao's favor, could not give up Yuzhang's territory casually. There is no reason for either to back down.

"Is there going to be a war?" Zhuge Liang, who was already fifteen years old after the Chinese New Year, asked.

"Probably!" Zhuge Xuan responded vaguely, he was already anxious about the army. He reduced Huang Zhong's troops stationed on the shore of Poyang Lake to the direction of the city gate, and at the same time transferred Li Sheng's new army and Wei Yan's city gate army to the city wall to defend it. As for the people of the villages around Yuzhang City, they were moved to the city by his order. He didn't want to leave Zhu Hao with anything that could be used as military funds.

"What a great job! This is the so-called strong wall clearing. But will he resent you in this way? At present, Li Sheng is busy with Wei Yan reinforcing the city defenses, so Zhuge Liang is the only nephew who is following Zhuge Xuan, and he enthusiastically asks his uncle.

"No, it won't." Zhuge Xuan replied with great certainty: "He will miss me, we have known each other in Luoyang." ”

"But doesn't it mean that a war is inevitable?" Zhuge Liang didn't understand such a statement.

"Well, that's something you can't avoid." Zhuge Xuan looked a little gloomy.

"What a senseless war. Because there are two Taishou, they have to fight, but if there is only one Taishou, then if you want to fight, you will have no opponent. Zhuge Liang said faintly: "In the world, there are too many people who are half a catty or eight taels. The so-called heroes are not much different from each other. ”

"That's it! If there are no great heroes among them, meaningless wars will continue to be fought. Zhuge Xuan agreed with his nephew's statement, "That's why I will be Lord Liu Biao." Because I think he's the best of the bunch right now. ”

"Really?" Zhuge Liang didn't ask. He understands that in this troubled world, only the appearance of great heroes can achieve unity. In light of the current situation, if the meaningless battle is seen as a transition, then there is still room for the world.

"Well, I don't think so much. We've won this battle now. Yuzhang is in my hands, and the surrounding forces have been expropriated by me. I want to see what Zhu Hao uses to fight me. Zhuge Xuan laughed. Because he arrived in Yuzhang one step earlier, he was a little lighthearted, and he and Zhu Hao were old acquaintances. In his eyes, Zhu Hao didn't have any military skills, so he underestimated Zhu Hao.

He ignored some information about Zhu Hao. Therefore, when he heard the latest news of the enemy army, he couldn't help but be shocked: "What? Liu Xuan's army? ”

When Zhuge Xuan learned that Zhu Hao had Liu Xuanjun's reinforcements as his backing, he was quite embarrassed for a while. Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, was repelled by Sun Ce's elite soldiers, but now he led the defeated troops to approach. Although it was a defeated army, it was a unit with actual combat experience, and Zhuge Xuan's Jingzhou army and Yuzhang army couldn't help but be apprehensive: "The enemy's army is close to 40,000? We're only two thousand. "No one can deny the numbers on the bright side. The Xiangyang soldiers in Jingzhou and the local soldiers in Yuzhang were rookies without any combat experience, and they were frightened by the news.

"General Huang Zhong, what do you think we should do now?" Summoned all the officials of Yuzhang, Zhuge Xuan asked him in a panic.

"I can't beat it, I can only retreat now!" Huang Zhong said with a gloomy expression and stroked his long beard. As a general, his duty is to lead his troops against the enemy in the event of aggression. In their eyes, the so-called "retreat without resistance" is the behavior of cowards and is despised. One can imagine how heartbroken it was for him to say such words from his mouth at this moment when the enemy soldiers were pressing the border, after analyzing the situation of the enemy left and right.

"What do you see?" Hearing Huang Zhong's answer, Zhuge Xuan was noncommittal, and asked again.

"I also think it's time to hand over the city as soon as possible, and retreat for the time being." Gan Hai, the housekeeper who was Zhuge Xuan's secretary, suggested. It was his job to gather intelligence. Because Wen Bo, the assistant of Xu Shao's military advisor, was his close friend, he could often get information about the enemy. With the current strength of Yuzhang, it is difficult to engage the other party.

"Since both of you said you were going to withdraw, where did you go?" Zhuge Xuan asked the two.

"My subordinates don't think it's too far." Gan Hai thought for a while and said, "We just need to cross the Ganshui River and go to Xicheng." ”

"Won't the enemy pursue?" Zhuge Xuan asked.

"I don't think so, at least not in the deep chase. Because Liu Miaojun and Zhu Hao have just cooperated, and Cha Rong, who is regarded by Liu Miao as a pioneer, is not a reassuring figure, they are wary of each other, and they should not chase after each other. Gan Hai thought back to the information that had been recorded in his mind, and came to this conclusion.

"That's right, for a notorious person like Cha Rong, Liu Miao shouldn't take it lightly." Zhuge Xuan thought for a while and said.

The self-proclaimed followers of the Futu cult seem to have gathered only through their faith. He set up a large Futu Temple, taught people to chant Buddhist scriptures, and attracted more than 5,000 good Buddhas in the side counties. Each bath Buddha is set up more food, the road cloth seat through dozens of miles, the cost of hundreds of millions. With Charong's family background, of course, he could not have such money. The expenditure on Buddhist affairs, he probably withheld from the taxes of Guangling, Xiabil, and Pengcheng, which can be regarded as corruption.

Of course, this is not known, after Charong succeeded in presenting himself as a devout Futu. With the reputation caused by doing great Dharma rituals, Charong has become a well-known leader of the Futu Sect in the world. The followers of the Futu Sect believed in Charong very simply and followed him until now. They have always believed that they fought and shed their blood for the sake of the Dharma.

Even when Cha Rong killed his friend Zhao Yu in Jiangbei and Xue Li in Jiangnan, they never had the slightest suspicion about their leader. In their view, Charong's repeated treachery is only aimed at outsiders, while to the inside, Charong has always said "for the sake of the Dharma."

After Xuzhou became a thorn in Cao Cao's side and was attacked and defeated, Cha Rong brought his team of followers to submit the Yangzhou assassin Liu Xuan. At that time, Liu Xuan's army was being beaten by Sun Ce and fled in all directions, and Liu Xuan was very enthusiastic about the fact that there were at least 20,000 young and strong people following him. Although he also received advice from the military advisor Xu Shaode to guard against Zharong: "After all, "Zharong in the south, Lu Bu in the north", these two people are famous treacherous people in the world. ”

"But even if it were, I couldn't help it. We are desperately short of troops! In a helpless situation, Liu Miao still let Charong's Buddhist army become the main force under his command to support Zhu Hao who asked for help.

At this time, the purpose between Cha Rong, Liu Xuan, and Zhu Hao was the same, and they all wanted to capture Yuzhang. However, there is a certain contradiction between them. Keeping such a scheming person as Cha Rong by his side, I don't know when I will lose my life. No one dares to take this lightly.

"Okay!" Zhuge Xuan thought for a while and stood up, letting go of his hand: "The seer saw half of the men and horses retreat to Xicheng, wait until the enemy attacks, and the other half will retreat." Well, we've got the ship ready now. As for the task of the palace army, then leave it to General Huang Zhong to be responsible. He declared loudly.

At present, for the Zhuge army, as long as they enter Xicheng, they can be safe for a long time. If you wait and see the situation here and wait for the enemy camp to change or the situation in the world to change, then it is not impossible to recapture Yuzhang.

"However, in any case, you have to tell the lord Liu Biao about the situation here. What we need here is reinforcements. Zhuge Xuan instructed Gan Hai to deal with the matter of asking for help.

At this time, Li Sheng, who had barely spoken at the meeting, stood up and said, "I request that my troops also be added to the battle of the palace army. I want to go to the battlefield and see it for myself. ”

"Well...... this! Okay, too. Zhuge Xuan pondered for a while and finally agreed. He knew that his righteous son had improved rapidly in the recent period. Although the new army he trained was still a recruit who had not experienced any battles, its performance did not seem to be much better than that of the regular soldiers brought from Jingzhou.

"If he wants to go, let him go. Although it is a little dangerous, General Huang Zhong will not be too negligent when he thinks about it. Boys always have to go all directions, and it doesn't hurt to let them get some training now. It was with this in mind that Zhuge Xuan agreed very happily.
