Zhang Liang is really not a good material to be a strategist, he gave Sun Jiao two ideas, one is to take the thirty-six plan as the upper plan, while the army of Young Master Zhuge has not yet come to the city, the soles of his feet are oiled and slip away. Another conservative point, stubbornly guarding Lingling, sent people to ask the big boss Wuhou Sun Quan for help.

After careful consideration, Sun Jiao finally chose the road of asking for help, because if he didn't fight, he would run away, it would be too shameless, so how would he mix in Jiangdong in the future? It can be seen from this that people can't look at things rationally most of the time, and many vain things often play an important role in decision-making, such as face.

Standing at the head of Lingling City, Sun Jiao regretted it a little, the tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops with bright armor and neat military appearance under the city made Sun Jiao feel pressure. Sun Jiao pointed to the wooden shelves that were erected high in the rear army of Jingzhou, and asked suspiciously: "Bo'an, what are those wooden shelves?" "Zhang Liang is a cousin.

When Zhang Liang heard this, he looked at it from a distance and replied: "General, it is Zhuge Zhan's improved 'thunderbolt cannon', named 'Huihui cannon', and now the Jingzhou army is equipped with many siege equipment, and the power is amazing!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Jiao nodded, frowned, and said, "Okay, the 'Thunderbolt Cannon', what is the name of the 'Huihui Cannon'?" What a strange name? ”

When Zhang Liang heard this, he replied: "I heard the people over there in Jingzhou say that it seems that it is because this thing can hit back, so it is named 'Huihui Cannon'!" ”

"I see!" Sun Jiao understood. If Young Master Zhuge knew that his return cannon would be explained like this, he would probably vomit blood and die with laughter.

Sun Jiao looked at the wall at the head of the city for a long time, turned around, and said, "Lu Xun should be out of the Lingling realm!" Sun Jiao accepted Zhang Liang's opinion, and after Lu Xun heard that he was going to send someone back to Jiangdong for help, Mao recommended himself and took the initiative to ask for help, Sun Jiao felt that Lu Xun was Lu Meng's subordinate, and he was not of the same heart, and staying was also adding to the chaos, so it was better to let him ask for help, which could be regarded as a waste use, so he readily agreed, and sent a team of cavalry guards to Lu Xun.

Zhang Liang thought about it, pinched his fingers, and said: "According to the itinerary, if you don't delay on the road, you should already be out of Lingling!" ”

Sun Jiao nodded and said, "I hope this guy can invite rescuers, otherwise the little master's family will all be handed over here." "During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, most of the generals were powerful and powerful, and they owned a large amount of manor land, and the relationship between a large number of tenants who worked in the manor was similar to that of a slave owner and a slave, but relatively free, because the tenants had their own property and a certain degree of personal freedom. In addition to cultivating the land for Haoqiang, these tenants were often also responsible for protecting the safety of the estate, and over time, they evolved into Haoqiang's private soldiers. Most of the armies of the various princes who rose up in the late Han Dynasty were composed of tenants in various estates, which were called "buqu", that is, private soldiers. These private soldiers only obeyed the orders of their masters and were absolutely loyal, so many generals in this period rebelled, which was related to this special military system. And in this era of war and strife, the size of the army also determines the status and voice of a general in the prostitute group to which he belongs, so most of the generals cherish their own subordinates very much, because it is the guarantee of their status and power.

Zhang Liang thought for a long time and said, "General, I want to come and go, and I am a little relieved!" ”

When Sun Jiao heard this, he asked, "Bo'an, when did this happen, do you have something to say!" ”

Zhang Liang's eyebrows were furrowed, and he pointed to Hao Pu, who was commanding the defense at the head of the city not far away, and said: "That guy turned out to be a member of the Jingzhou Army, and he was forced to surrender too much, I am worried that he will turn back at a critical time!" ”

When Sun Jiao heard this, he glanced at Hao Pu, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Zhang Liang, and said, "You show this thing to this old boy, I promise that he won't turn back!" ”

When Zhang Liang heard this, he took the envelope with curiosity, opened it, and was surprised: "What? Liu Bei killed Hao Pu's entire family? ”

Sun Jiao nodded and said: "When Liu Bei entered Sichuan, in order to ensure the loyalty of the Jingzhou army, tens of thousands of families of the Jingzhou army were coerced into Sichuan, and Hao Pu was of course no exception!" This time Liu Bei heard that Hao Pu surrendered in Chengdu, and he was very angry at that time, and he killed the old boy's whole family without thinking about it. ”

Zhang Liang nodded mechanically, obviously not recovering from the shock.

Young Master Zhuge has an army of only 30,000, according to the principle of ten encirclements and five attacks, the current strength is obviously not enough to surround the entire Lingling City, so Young Master Zhuge adopted the principle of encircling three and missing one, leaving the east gate of Lingling City without sending troops, which is actually a typical practice of ancient sieges, in order to be afraid of being surrounded on all sides, the enemy knows that there is no way out, and he will resist stubbornly, which will often cause great casualties to the besieging side, this stupid method is unwilling to be adopted by the wise commander.

In the handsome tent of the young master Zhuge , a middle-aged man is sitting in danger, this is called Xu Shu, who has just been sent to Jingzhou by Liu Bei, and after arriving in Jiangling, he knew that the young master Zhuge of the Dao has gone south, so Mi Fang sent Zhang Yi to lead the troops to escort Xu Shu all the way south, and it was not until this morning that he caught up with the young master Zhuge who had been camped under Lingling City.

Young Master Zhuge opened the Lingling defense map that Xiao Bai had only gotten in the morning, and spread it on the table, Xiao Bai and Heizi stood on both sides, looking respectful. Also sitting under the tent were Ma Zhong, the captain of the guerrilla battalion, Zhao Tong, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and Zhang Yi, the new deputy general of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, who had just been intercepted by Young Master Zhuge Zhuge .

Young Master Zhuge looked at it for a long time, nodded, and said, "Chen Zhen did a good job, let him get out as soon as possible!" ”

Xiaobai nodded and replied: "Director Chen said that there are still a few things to be done, and he will find a way to get out after he finishes it, please rest assured!" ”

Young Master Zhuge nodded, and said with a smile: "Chen Zhen, this guy is a veteran of the Fuxing Society, I'm not worried about this!" ”

Hearing this, Xiaobai nodded, with an expression of wanting to say something and stopping.

When Young Master Zhuge saw it, he frowned and asked, "There are no outsiders here, just say whatever you want!" ”

When Xiaobai heard this, he said, "Childe, it's about Hao Pu!" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly motioned for Xiaobai to say in his ear.

Xiaobai understood, leaned over, and whispered in the ear of Young Master Zhuge When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he was taken aback: "There is such a thing?"

Xiaobai nodded.

Young Master Zhuge glanced at Xu Shu, who was closing his eyes at this time, and just wanted to ask, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, waved his hand, and said, "You all go down first!" I want to talk to Xu Junshi in detail. "Xu Shuguan worships the good generals in the military division.

When all the generals heard this, they all got up and took their leave.
