Chapter 045: Fooled
It is the autumn equinox, the weather is gradually getting cooler, Lingling is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and then it is warmer, at this time it is still densely wooded, birds are singing, and animals are everywhere.
In a valley on the official road leading to Lingling, the mountain walls on both sides are steep, the jungle is dense, and the empty valley is deep.
"What a picturesque fairyland!" On the hillside, among the dense trees, Young Master Zhuge was half-squatting, looking down at the valley, envious.
Xu Shu, who was drinking a little wine and fanning a feather fan on the side, heard this, glanced at Young Master Zhuge and said lightly: "Birds are everywhere, inaccessible, it is clearly barren mountains and mountains, what kind of fairyland on earth!" ”
When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he smiled and smiled, sat down, snatched the feather fan from Xu Shu's hand, and fanned it a few times, but it was not very cool, so he returned it to Xu Shu and said, "Where did you get this feather fan?" How is it exactly the same as Daddy? ”
Xu Shu smiled and said, "What is it like!" It was your daddy's! ”
"Huh? What's the situation? Young Master Zhuge was puzzled.
Xu Shu picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said, "Your mother sewed a new feather fan for your father, and this feather fan was withdrawn and given to the old man!" Hehe, it's pretty good! ”
When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he laughed twice, and said in his heart, the relationship between the two brothers is really good, just about to wear a pair of pants!
Young Master Zhuge stretched out in boredom, stood up, and looked at the official road to the east, there was no one on the official road, not even a ghost shadow, Young Master Zhuge was a little strange, and said, "Uncle Xu, will the information be wrong?" We've been waiting here for two days, and there's not even a ghost. Do you think my uncle is lost? ”
When Xu Shu heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "If your uncle knows that your kid is hiding here and is ready to beat him, he would rather get lost!" ”
When Young Master Zhuge heard this, his eyelids drooped, he sighed, and said, "Hey! I can't do it! There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, so you can't fight it! But then again, you said that Sun Quan is also bad enough, knowing that I led the troops to attack Lingling, and actually sent my uncle, isn't it embarrassing? ”
When Xu Shu heard this, he smiled slightly, and said, "If you hadn't led the troops, Sun Quan wouldn't have sent your uncle!" ”
When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he sat on the ground, pulled out a piece of grass, put it in his mouth, nodded, and said, "Well, it seems to make some sense!" He glanced at the official road that was still "wiped out by all traces", and sighed: "I now kind of hope that my uncle is lost!" ”
As he was talking, on the official road to the east, a horse galloped over, and the horse's hooves passed over, raising a puff of dust.
"Childe, it's our people!" Xiao Hei pointed to the flying horse and said. Yes, judging from the clothes of the flying horse, it is indeed the outpost of the Jingzhou army.
The outpost rode quickly to the halfway point of the mountain, then tied the horse to the mountainside, trotted all the way over, saw the young master Zhuge and bowed down and said: "General, the situation is not right, since then more than 100 miles to the east, there is no trace of the Wu army!" Wu Jun seems to have disappeared! ”
"What? Gone? When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, many years of battlefield experience made Young Master Zhuge form an extremely keen intuition, and this time, he smelled the smell of danger.
Young Master Zhuge quickly searched and integrated the information of the past few days in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, "Quick, get the map!" ”
"Childe, give!" Xiao Hei took out the map from the long bamboo tube around his waist and handed it to Young Master Zhuge . Young Master Zhuge took the map, unfolded it, and laid it on the ground, with rough lines and simple drawing, but it was already a relatively delicate map in this period.
Young Master Zhuge looked at it for a while and asked, "Uncle Xu, apart from this official road, is there any other road that can lead directly to Lingling?" ”
When Xu Shu heard this, he shook his head and said, "This is the only place to go to Lingling, if you don't go here, where else can you go from?" ”
When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he pointed his hand to the bottom of the location of Lingling marked on the map, and said, "Go here!" ”
"Mutiny!" Xu Shu exclaimed. When the surrounding generals heard this, they all changed color.
Young Master Zhuge stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Zhang Yi led five thousand soldiers and horses to stay here, and the rest of the generals returned to Lingling with me!" ”
"No!" The generals received the order, divided their heads and gathered their troops and horses and left.
Standing on the uphill slope and looking into the distance, Zhuge Zhan sighed deeply and muttered to himself: "Uncle, you have caused me a lot of trouble this time!" ”
Things were as expected by Young Master Zhuge , Zhuge Jin did not take the road that Young Master Zhuge and Xu Shu thought must pass, but made a detour to Jiaozhou, borrowed from the pastor of Jiaozhou, and killed Lingling from the south.
After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Shi Chang returned to Jiaozhou, and with his family power, he quickly controlled the entire Jiaozhou region and became a prince in Lingnan at the end of the Han Dynasty. However, Jiaozhou was sparsely populated at that time, and its economy and culture were very backward, although Shi Changgui was the lord of a state, but in fact his power was very weak, and it was difficult to compete with the heroes of the Central Plains. In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, in 210 AD, Sun Quan sent an army to enter the Jiaozhou area, and the soldiers led the people to join him, and was appointed by Sun Quan as the assassin of Jiaozhou, and still controlled Jiaozhou. However, due to the inconvenience of transportation at that time, the news was blocked, and it was not grasped by Liu Bei Group, which led to a major mistake in the decision-making of Young Master Zhuge this time.
By the time Young Master Zhuge rushed back to Lingling with the army non-stop, there were already people going to the city. It turned out that in order to avoid the eyes and ears of Young Master Zhuge Zhuge and Jiaozhou, Zhuge Jin took advantage of Jiaozhou, and after entering Lingling, he joined forces with Sun Jiao and defeated the Jingzhou army camp with empty defense in one fell swoop. Then he led the army to encircle tens of thousands of people in the city and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass, and left. Only a dilapidated Lingling City was left for Young Master Zhuge to be found.
Standing at the head of Lingling City, Young Master Zhuge looked at the railing, sneered slightly, and said: "Uncle, you rescued Sun Jiao, but you also laid the root of Jiangdong's troubles, you must not have heard of the story of the Trojan Horse!" ”
The sunspot beside him was inexplicable and said, "Childe, what kind of horse are you talking about?" Oh yes, we found a horse in Haup's backyard that we didn't have time to take away, it was pitch black, its hooves were like snow, and the horse was abnormal! ”
When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "It's stepping on snow!" Hao Pu! Haopu! You old boy! ”
At this time, Xu Shu walked slowly up to the city tower, came to Young Master Zhuge , patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Zhan'er, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, we lost this game, let's make up for it in the next game!" The one who has the last laugh is the real winner! ”
When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he turned around, nodded, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, you are right, the one who has the last laugh is the real winner!" With a wave of his hand, he said: "Heizi, pass on my military order, order Ma Zhong to guard Lingling, lead 2,000 troops to garrison Lingling, and the rest of the generals will follow me north to Jiangxia tomorrow, where there is still a tough battle waiting for us!" ”
"No!" Little Black took the order and left.
