Chapter 168: Lingling Returns to Shun

After Deng Xuanzhi left, Sun Jiao's face showed a puzzled look, and Zhang Liang asked strangely: "General, what's wrong with you?" ”

When Sun Jiao heard this, he said, "Isn't Deng Xuanzhi a businessman? How do you know about the war? From what he just said, he seems to have a lot of experience in the transfer of troops and horses and things in the army, so I feel very strange! ”

When Zhang Liang heard this, he said: "After Deng Xuanzhi spoke, his ancestor was the founding general Deng Yu of the dynasty, and his ancestors served in the army for generations, and when he arrived at Xuanzhi's father's area, his family fell in the middle of the road, and he lost his position in the army, so he abandoned the military and started the businessman's cheap business, but after all, Xuanzhi is the general, and he has always hoped to revive the family business one day, so this time he will put forward the matter of the official as soon as he sees the general!" The general is overwhelmed! ”

After hearing this, Sun Jiao was relieved and said with a smile: "I see, it seems that I am too worried!" I didn't expect Xuanzhi to have such a past."

Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sun Jiao's doubts passing, and scolded in his heart: "Deng Xuanzhi, this kid is really careless!" What are you fooling around? I have to wipe your ass! ”

In the early morning of the second day, a round of fiery red sunrise slowly rose from the horizon, and when the first rays of sunlight hit Lingling City, the gate of Lingling City slowly opened, and Sun Jiao took Zhang Liang, Deng Xuanzhi and tens of thousands of Wu troops to wait outside the city for a long time. When the city gate was opened, the first to come out of the city was a group of soldiers, armed with short swords and bright armor, and after leaving the city, they were divided into two teams on the drawbridge at the city gate. Then I saw Hao Pu wearing regular clothes, riding a snow-white horse with all the civil and military officers of Lingling City slowly out of the city gate, a foot away from the suspension bridge, dismounting, kneeling on the ground, holding a tray in his hand, which should be the big seal of Lingling County and the household registration register of Lingling County. The civil and military forces behind him also followed suit and knelt on the ground. This means surrender. This kind of sight was not uncommon in the late Han Dynasty.

Seeing this, Sun Jiao also hurriedly dismounted, walked to Hao Pu with Zhang Liang, Deng Xuanzhi and a team of Wu Jun in three steps and two steps, helped Hao Pu up, took the tray in Hao Pu's hand, handed it to Zhang Liang, held Hao Pu's hand, and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for Zitai for too long, and the Zitai who can do it today makes me happier than I got ten Lingling Cities!" ”

Hao Pu made a look of shame and said: "The general of the defeated army, I can't afford to be praised by the general like this!" ”

Sun Jiao smiled and comforted: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the defeat of a general is not a crime of war, but Liu Bei's lack of use of people!" If the general is allowed to guard the public security, how can Lu Meng seize the public security so easily? ”

When Hao Pu heard this, he was shocked and said, "What? The public security is also lost? ”

Sun Jiao smiled and asked, "What?" The general still doesn't know what to do? ”

Hao Pu looked desperate and said, "I didn't expect the great cause that the King of Hanzhong had worked hard for many years to collapse so quickly!" Pity! What a pity! ”

Sun Jiao saw Hao Pu's desperate face, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and said in his heart, the more disappointed this guy is in Liu Bei, the better it will be for us.

Under the leadership of Hao Pu, 20,000 Wu troops successfully entered Lingling City, and at this time, on the top of the city tower, Chen Zhen watched the Wu army enter the city with a smile on his face, and a white dove rose from Chen Zhen's hand and flew towards the north.

Three days later, at the head of Fancheng City, Young Master Zhuge received two flying pigeon letters at the same time, one from Jiangling and one from Lingling. Young Master Zhuge took down the letter, handed the two pigeons to Xiaobai, opened the letter, smiled slightly, and said to Guan Ping beside him: "Brother, Sun Quan's tricks have run out, it's time for us to do it!" ”

When Guan Ping heard this, he smiled and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Beat the drum and gather the generals!" ”

The rumbling war drums resounded throughout Fancheng, less than a quarter of an hour, all the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army gathered in the tent, the whole tent, the generals looked at the nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, the birds were silent, and after a while, the curtain of the tent was lifted by the soldiers, and the two entered one after the other, and the generals looked up and saw that it was no one else, it was our young master Zhuge who walked in front, followed by our General Guan Ping. Young Master Zhuge strode up to the handsome tent, while Guan Ping sat down at the head of Young Master Zhuge .

Young Master Zhuge had a serious face at this time, and said loudly: "All the generals also know the way, the Cao army is pressing, Jiangdong is in danger, I will take care of the friendship of the ministers of the Han Dynasty, and raise troops to help Sun Quan fight against Cao thieves, Sun Quan can be his Marquis of Wu in Jianye City today." But now Sun Quan doesn't remember the kindness of the past, but he betrays the alliance and raises troops to attack my Jingnan, Gong'an, and Jiangling counties, is it tolerable or unbearable? Lord's Edict! Young Master Zhuge got up, took out Liu Bei's edict from his sleeve, and prepared to read it. All the generals in the tent stood up, bowed down, and listened to the edict.

Young Master Zhuge unfolded the edict and announced loudly: "Hanzhong Wang'er: Sun Quan Xiao'er, treacherous, betraying the alliance and raising troops, people and gods are angry, now the special Zhenyuan general Zhuge Zhan and the soldiers under his account immediately counterattacked, expelled Wu Kou, recovered the lost territory, won the meritorious, defeated and guilty, hope to cherish yourself!" At the beginning of September of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, the king of Hanzhong wrote by hand. ”

"Do as the king commands!" The generals commanded.

After reading Liu Bei's edict, Young Master Zhuge pulled out his sword, and said loudly: "Sun Quan betrays the alliance, the lord is angry, the lord is ashamed, the lord humiliates the minister, expel Wu Kou, protect me Jingzhou!" ”

"Expel Wu Kou and defend Jingzhou!" The generals drew their swords one after another and swore an oath.

The Jingzhou army moved quickly, and on the morning of the next day, 50,000 Jingzhou troops were assembled in the south of Fancheng City.

Riding on the horse, Young Master Zhuge and Guan Ping walked side by side, Guan Ping walked and walked "poof" for a while, and the laughing Young Master Zhuge was inexplicable, and said, "Brother Ping, what's wrong with you?" What's so funny? ”

Guan Ping waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just think you're getting more and more generalous!" The cowhide was blown just now, and many soldiers below were encouraged by you to scream, you kid! This bragging skill has been used by you on the right path! ”

"Hehehe, brother, that's right, he, he doesn't dare to say anything else, he is second in this braggart ability, and no one in Jingzhou dares to count first!" Miss Guan San took it and quipped. This girl did not enter Shu with Guan Yu, on the day that Guan Yu took the whole family into Shu, she left a letter alone, saying that she was going to find Guan Ping, so she rode a fast horse and went straight to Fancheng. After asking things clearly, Guan Ping was so angry that he scolded our third Miss Guan and locked her up for three days, saying that she was not allowed to eat, but with our Young Master Zhuge here, can she be hungry? In the past few days, I have been tightly closed, and I almost caught up with the fetus, and when I came out on the third day, Young Master Guan was very depressed and found that this little girl was radiant, and there seemed to be traces of fortune.

"Oops! I said that it is good for you brothers and sisters to save me some face, how to say that I am also the chief general of the army, and I am so counted by you, how can I be mixed up in the army in the future! Young Master Zhuge complained speechlessly. In exchange, there was a burst of laughter from the Guan Ping brothers and sisters.

After laughing for a while, the two brothers and sisters finally laughed enough, Guan Ping calmed down his emotions and said with a smile: "Okay, let's stop laughing!" Let's get down to business! ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he pursed his lips and said in his heart, have you laughed enough? Still down to business?

Guan Ping didn't pay attention to Young Master Zhuge 's expression, pointed to the army in front of him, and asked, "Hey! Siyuan, I said, isn't it a little too slow for us to march like this? And let the soldiers preach along the way that we are marching to Gangneung? Doesn't this expose our strategic intentions? ”

When Miss Guan San beside her heard this, she was also interested, and pricked up her two little ears, ready to listen to what Young Master Zhuge had to explain.

Young Master Zhuge smiled slightly, looking at the appearance of Guan Ping and Miss Guan San's curious babies, he couldn't help but pause, pretending to be unfathomable and asked, "I really want to know the Dao?" ”

A pair of curious babies nodded together.

Young Master Zhuge was very satisfied with their reaction, and said with a smug face: "Since we are going back to Jiangling, why don't I stop the drums, but instead do the opposite, and let the soldiers beat gongs and drums to spread around?" ”

"For what?" Miss Guan San asked.

Young Master Zhuge nodded with a serious face and said, "The Buddha said: Don't say, don't say!" Amitopho! Haha As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his horsewhip and jumped away with a smile.

Looking at Young Master Zhuge who was laughing and whipping away, Miss Guan San looked puzzled and asked tentatively, "Brother, is this kid playing tricks on me?" ”

When Guan Ping heard this, he nodded helplessly, and said in his heart, sister, you just know the way!

Then, Young Master Zhuge heard a deafening roar of the Hedong lion: "The surname is pig, you wait for me, you are dead!" When Young Master Zhuge heard this roar, he immediately spread his way and ran more happily.

Three days after Fu Shiren returned to the Wu camp, Mi Fang really opened the city gate and took Jiangling Wenwu to belong to the Wu army, which made Lu Meng's tense heartstrings finally breathe a sigh of relief. But soon, LΓΌ Meng found a serious problem, that is, the families of the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were not found in Jiangling City, which made LΓΌ Meng's original attempt to use the families of the Jingzhou army to blackmail the Jingzhou army failed.

And just when Lu Meng was disappointed, a bad news finally came, and the young master Zhuge who learned that Jiangling had fallen was ordered by Liu Bei to come to Jiangling with the main force of more than 50,000 Jingzhou troops, and at this time the army in Lu Meng's hands was only 30,000 or 40,000. In order to resist the Jingzhou army, LΓΌ Meng contracted the main force of the Wu army in the area of Gong'an and Jiangling to strengthen the defense line of Jiangling and Jiangling, and at the same time accepted Lu Xun's suggestion to take the initiative to attack the enemy outside the country, and ordered Gan Ning to lead his troops to garrison Jiangling, Pan Zhang to lead his troops to garrison Gong'an, and he himself took the main force of Wu Army 50,000 to move north to meet the Jingzhou army returning south.

A big war is inevitable!
