In modern times, the white dove symbolizes peace, but the pigeon has long been used in warfare by humans because of its special physiological characteristics. According to human historical records, as early as the 4th century BC, the Romans began to use pigeons to transmit messages, and China also had records of using pigeons to transmit messages during the Han Dynasty, but this was still a very rare thing at the time, and it was not popular, let alone used in military activities. Later generations said that knowledge is the strength of power, which Young Master Zhuge deeply agreed, because, without the use of carrier pigeons, Young Master Zhuge would not have learned this precious news 3 hours after the fall of Gong'an City, which is much faster than eight hundred miles of urgency!

Guan Ping took the information taken from the carrier pigeon's leg from the hands of Young Master Zhuge and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile: "It's time for us to do it, right?" ”

Young Master Zhuge nodded with a smile, "After being blocked by Wu Jun at the door of the house and scolded for so many days, it's time for us to fight back!" Heralds, drums gathered! ”

The rumbling drums were as dense as raindrops, and the generals of the battalions gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the time for the decisive battle had arrived!

"Soldiers, have you been scolded by Wu Jun for blocking the camp gate for a few days, are you aggrieved? Annoyed or not? "Young Master Zhuge is high on the platform, and next to him are Guan Ping and Xiaobai. Although Miss Guan San has good martial arts, she has no military position after all, and she is a woman, and she was forced by Young Master Zhuge to stay in her camp and was not allowed to come out, and her pink little face was resentful.

"Aggrieved! Annoyed! The soldiers replied in unison.

"Do you want revenge?" Young Master Zhuge asked aloud.

"Yes!"

"Good!" Young Master Zhuge pulled out his sword from his waist with a "swish", and said loudly: "Sun Quan has no way, treachery, heaven and man are angry, the king of Hanzhong has decreed, let me lead you to crusade against them, we obey the king's order, obey the mandate of heaven, on the battlefield, I order the left army to attack, the left army does not attack, that is you violated the mandate of heaven, I order the right army to attack, the right army does not attack, that is you violated the mandate of heaven, all on the battlefield, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, after the war will be rewarded by the king, your merits will be recorded in history, Forever be admired by the generations to come, and your children and grandchildren will always enjoy prosperity and a long family inheritance. Those who are afraid of war, kill their heads, and sacrifice to the temple. Now I command you to rush over, catch up, kill the past, destroy our enemies, and let the Wu people always remember that we are inviolable! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The soldiers' emotions were completely mobilized, and the Jingzhou military camp was boiling instantly.

Young Master Zhuge raised his sword high and commanded to the sky: "The whole army gathers and goes to the battlefield!" ”

A few minutes later, the assembly drum sounded in the battalions, and after a while, all the soldiers were assembled, and a group of soldiers marched from each battalion to the Chinese camp in orderly steps, and the shouts of killing could be heard several miles away.

Young Master Zhuge mounted his horse, and under the escort of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, he marched towards the outside of the camp, and the soldiers of the other battalions gathered were lined up left and right, making way for the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to have a wide passage. Zhao Tong, the leader of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, rode a horse and walked side by side with Young Master Zhuge on the other side, with Guan Ping on the other side.

Guan Ping smiled and patted Young Master Zhuge on the shoulder and said, "You kid is okay!" The oath just now is brilliant! ”

Young Master Zhuge smiled slightly and replied, "Nonsense! It took Ma Liang two days to write, can it not be brilliant? ”

"Huh?" Guan Ping was petrified in an instant, and it took a long time for this kid to make a draft in advance!

Although as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Wu, the originator of Chinese soldiers, made the famous assertion that "soldiers are not tired of deceit" in his glorious ancient and modern masterpiece "The Art of War". However, this did not prevent China, a country of etiquette, from maintaining good habits of etiquette and civilization during war. And before the decisive battle between the two armies, this is the most basic etiquette to give the other side a war letter.

Lu Meng, who received the war letter of the Jingzhou army, was very happy, because he could finally fight a decisive battle, you must know that the Wu army was far away from the local war, and the most taboo thing about the labor expedition was to fall into the quagmire of war, you damn it, the war was fought with silver, tens of thousands of soldiers ate, how much money did you have to spend on this day! If you don't fight again, Sun Quan is estimated to be almost poor as pants, since the two sides have held each other, Sun Quan has written many times to ask Lu Meng to quickly fight a decisive battle with the Jingzhou army, because the Cao army Zhang Liao stationed in Hefei has had very frequent military movements in recent times, and the movements are unknown, which makes Sun Quan restless, restless and restless, and the army that can fight can be brought to Jingzhou by Lu Meng and Sun Jiao, and there are not many Wu troops left behind in Jianye, if Cao Jun takes the opportunity to give himself a surprise attack or something, then the joke will be big!

The place where the two sides fought was still on the outskirts of Dangyang. After the two sides finished lining up, they stopped with a drum and each of them went out to answer.

Lu Meng and Young Master Zhuge can each bring a general entourage, Lu Meng brings Lu Xun, and Young Master Zhuge brings Guan Ping.

The two sides marched forward and gathered in a stone's throw together, Lu Meng arched his hand on the horse, and said loudly: "I have heard of General Zhuge for a long time, and when I see it today, it is enough to comfort my life!" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he also bowed his hand and said: "Governor Lu is a famous general in Jiangdong, his prestige spreads far and wide, the kid is not talented, and it is a great honor to be able to fight with Governor Lu Du here today!" ”

Lu Meng saw that there was a general beside Young Master Zhuge with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was very powerful, so he asked with a smile: "Who is this general?" ”

Young Master Zhuge replied with a smile: "General, Guan Ping!" ”

When Lu Meng heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Isn't it the son of Guan Hou?" ”

"Yes!" Young Master Zhuge replied with a smile.

Lu Meng hurriedly bowed his hand and said with a smile: "I have had several relationships with General Guan in the past, and I have always admired General Guan's personality and talent, but unfortunately I haven't seen him for many years, and I miss it very much. ”

When Guan Ping heard this, he just hugged his fists and returned the salute symbolically, but did not speak.

Young Master Zhuge smiled slightly, and said in his heart, your kid has bad water in his bones, and it is estimated that he is thinking about how to strangle the father and son to death every day when he sleeps, if it weren't for Lao Tzu to appear, the father and son would have already become ghosts under your knife! It's still pretending to be here, phew!

At this time, a cold light flashed, Young Master Zhuge shuddered, and looked up to see that there was a person behind Lu Meng, standing tall on a horse, with white lips and red teeth, bright armor, a delicate Yue made long sword hanging from his waist, and a pair of beautiful eyes showing a cunning gaze, which was not a good thing at first glance. "Who is this general?"

Without waiting for Lu Meng to answer, Lu Xun took a step forward and said with a smile: "Lu Xun in Xia Wu County!" ”

Young Master Zhuge was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help blurting out: "You are Lu Xun, Lu Xun, who succeeded Lu Meng as the governor of the capital after Lu Meng's death, Lu Boyan?" ”

When Lu Meng and the three of them heard this, they were all surprised, and their faces showed strange looks!
