It has to be said that the bureaucratic collective work in Jiangdong is very efficient, less than three days, 20,000 Wu troops have been recruited, this period of Jiangdong is the implementation of the system of the integration of soldiers and peasants, although these soldiers are newly recruited, but it does not mean that they are not on the battlefield recruits, in fact, many of them are veterans of a hundred battles who have followed Sun Ce to conquer Jiangdong. However, their commander Zhuge Jin, the general of Suinan, was a novice, and when he said goodbye to Sun Quan in tears, he held Sun Quan's hand tightly, tears rained down, and said: "Lord, the minister is really a civil official!" It can be seen that he really didn't fight.

Sun Quan stood at the head of Jianye City, looked at Zhuge Jin who was gradually traveling away, and couldn't help but ask with some worry: "Zibu!" Zhuge Ziyu has never had the experience of marching in battle, and you recommended him to command the soldiers and horses, I always feel a little unreliable! ”

Zhang Zhao on the side heard this, smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and said: "Zhuge Ziyu, both civil and military, is a rare talent, this expedition is foolproof, don't worry!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan stroked his purple beard, his blue eyes flashed, he nodded, and said, "I hope Zhuge Ziyu will not let the widow down!" ”

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, most of the soldiers of the army of Wu were soldiers in the south, and the special growth environment made them long in water warfare, shorter than land warfare, good at water, and could drive boats like walking on flat ground, but it was difficult to tame the beasts with legs, and the Wu army was located in the south of the Yangtze River, lacking horses, and the cavalry was always the weakness of the Wu army, and this situation was not changed in the end of Wu I. Therefore, Zhuge Jin's army is also mainly based on foot soldiers, except for the main generals of each army, they are all on foot, which greatly slows down the speed of the march.

Zhuge Jin, who was riding on a war horse, was uncomfortable, and he was also very unaccustomed to wearing a wide robe and a large-sleeved Hanfu, and now he had at least more than 20 pounds of armor on his body. "Damn Zhang Zibu, I'm the first to die!" Zhuge Jin scolded hatefully. Looking at the sun overhead, it should be almost noon, "Stop, stop!" Zhuge Jin waved his hand and shouted.

Sima rode a fast horse, galloped all the way, and asked on the horse, "General, why did you stop?" ”

With the support of his own soldiers, Zhuge Jin finally got off the horse, stretched out his hand and threw his helmet on the ground, and said angrily: "Don't go!" Don't go! Set up camp right here! I want to rest! ”

"But ......" with the army Sima is very embarrassed, today from morning to noon, a total of less than twenty miles, Zhuge Jin has shouted more than a dozen times "stop", at this rate, the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse can only reach Lingling!

Seeing that Sima hesitated, Zhuge Jin glared at him and scolded angrily: "Am I the main general or are you the main general?" Ben will say that if he can't go, he won't leave, what so much nonsense! Why don't you go and pass the life? ”

was reprimanded by Zhuge Jinyi, and Sima didn't dare to hesitate, rode a fast horse, and went to convey the order in a hurry.

Wu Jun camped on the side of the road, cooked on the stove, and in a short time, the meal was ready! At this time, the tents for the march were also set up, Zhuge Jin looked at his handsome tent, nodded with satisfaction, pulled his eldest son Zhuge Ke into the tent, and said with a smile: "This handsome old man still looks pleasing to the eye!" "Zhuge Ke is the eldest son of Zhuge Jin, who just turned sixteen years old this year, and has been intelligent since childhood, and is known as a prodigy.

After entering the tent, the father and son sat opposite each other, at this time the wine and food had been served, Zhuge Jin waved his hand, signaling the left and right to retreat, the soldiers withdrew from the tent, and guarded the left and right of the big tent.

When the wine was half-drunk, Zhuge Jin stroked his beard lightly and asked with a smile: "What is the chance of my father winning this expedition?" ”

Zhuge Ke picked up the wine bottle, drank it all, and said with a smile: "Father is already winning, why bother to ask me?" ”

When Zhuge Jin heard this, he pointed at Zhuge Ke and laughed: "Those who know me, Ke'er also!" Then he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhuge Ke, saying, "You take a few people, take the first step, send this letter to Lingling City, and hand it over to your Uncle Sun!" ”

Zhuge Ke took the letter, nodded solemnly, and said, "Father, rest assured, nothing goes wrong!" As he spoke, he stood up and saluted, and lifted the curtain and walked out.

Two days later, at midnight, Lingling City Head.

Sun Jiao since the failure of the sneak attack on the Jingzhou military camp that day, he no longer dared to go out of the city to fight with the Jingzhou army, these days, no matter how the Jingzhou army scolded, Sun Jiao just couldn't hold out, fortunately, Lingling City had enough food and grass, and there was no worry about hunger.

At this time, the night was already deep, in order to prevent the Jingzhou army from attacking at night, Sun Jiao slept on the city for the past few days, one to observe the movements of the Jingzhou army at any time, and the other to supervise the soldiers of the Wu army. On Lingling City, Sun Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Wu Shuo sat around the fire, on which was a roasted squeaky roast sheep, and the soldiers beside him kept rolling the roast sheep in order to make the sheep roast more evenly.

Seeing that the roast sheep was already seven or eight ripe, Sun Jiao said with a smile: "Okay! Tear a piece of it off for Lao Tzu! ”

When the soldier heard this, he looked at the fire and replied, "General, the mutton is still short of fire!" You can't eat it! ”

Sun Jiao was displeased when he heard this, and said, "What so much nonsense? Lao Tzu likes to eat this kind of half-baked, can't he? ”

"No!" The soldier did not dare to argue, took out a short knife from his waist, cut off a piece of mutton, put it in a bowl, and handed it to Sun Jiao. Sun Jiaole took the mutton, took a mouthful, his mouth was full of oil, and said loudly: "There is wine and meat, what do you want in life?" Hahaha! ”

When Zhang Liang and Wu Shuo heard this, they also asked the soldiers to cut a piece of it for themselves, and it was really delicious when they ate it, and the aroma of the barbecue spread far away, and the soldiers guarding the city smelled it and drooled.

When Sun Jiao saw it, he laughed and said: "Officer, go, get a roast sheep for every team of soldiers guarding the city, treat everyone, and eat it on the head of the city, oh yes!" No alcohol! It's not okay to get drunk! ”

The priest was ordered to go down to the castle tower and get sheep for the soldiers. When the soldiers defending the city heard this, their faces were filled with joy.

Just as Sun Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Wu Shuo were drinking and eating meat at the head of the city, a black shadow jumped up.

"Who?" Although the black shadow was agile, it was still discovered by the soldiers defending the city, and the soldiers immediately shouted a warning: "There are assassins, there are assassins!" ”

When Sun Jiao heard this, he jumped up, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and rushed forward, but he didn't want to, the black shadow turned over, "plopped" and knelt down in front of Sun Jiao, raised his head with a smile, and shouted: "Uncle Sun!" ”

Listening to the familiar voice, Sun Jiao put down the knife in his hand, looked at it fixedly, and was immediately overjoyed, and said, "Ke'er, why are you here?" ”

When Zhuge Ke heard this, he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Sun Jiao, and said: "Marquis Wu ordered his father to be the main general, commanding 20,000 troops, to save Lingling, and his nephew to fight for his father!" ”

After listening to this, Sun Jiao nodded, took the letter, opened it and looked at it, with a happy face.
