"Wise!"

The Roman soldier who was talking about eating moon cakes heard someone calling himself, and this voice was familiar to the centurion. He was afraid that the centurion would find out and that he would have nothing to eat, so he hurriedly kicked into his arms, turned around and beat his chest, and said loudly: "What do you command?" ”

"It takes ...... to follow me to lead the army."

"Yes." The Roman soldier Wise was very depressed, touched the bread in his arms, and said in his heart that he would not taste it for a while.

Night after night, under the constant hints of the day masters, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun, the people of Daqin stayed up until the full moon in the sky, and then they took out the cakes. At this moment, most Romans fell asleep, and only a few Romans patrolled the streets.

In a private house, the old lady Gao held the cake, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and then looked at the round cake in her hand. With snot and tears, he took a bite and cried: "It's delicious, it's delicious, when will I be able to have a reunion dinner, I guess I don't have a chance......." ”

Behind him, the other old ladies began to cry.

"Huh!" The old lady Gao suddenly found out, pulled out a note from the cake, and when she saw that her face had changed greatly, panic, joy, and fear gathered together, and she turned around tremblingly and shouted: "Don't eat, ...... quickly." He suddenly realized and whispered, "Look, what is this?" ”

A group of old men gathered around under the oil lamp, and soon learned of Zhuge Liang's plan.

"I've got that too!" Another old lady took out a note and said.

Old lady Gao wiped away her tears with joy and said, "God help me Daqin, we must act according to the plan, and the people will know it." We must tacitly cooperate with Mr. Kong Ming and Zhou Yu and Lu Xun. ”

On the other hand. The people of each house discovered the secret in the cake and learned of Zhuge Liang's plan. This method is mysterious. It was discovered by the Romans without talking to each other, but it was actually caused by Zhuge Liang's invention of the "message in the cake".

The next morning, the government of Huiji County, the dictator of the Roman expeditionary force, Pompegao, sat in the court. There are two rows standing under the hall, one row is the henchman commander, and the other row is Liu Bei and others.

"Report ......." A Roman herald came in a panic and bowed, "Your Excellency, the Qin army will arrive here later tomorrow!" ”

Pompey became anxious when he heard this. If you don't lay out before the arrival of Emperor Hongwu, you can't lay out any more. He only looked at Zhuge Liang, who had a plan, with that worried gaze.

Zhuge Liang walked out with a feather fan and arched his hand: "Your Excellency the dictator, I think it should have an effect, you can call the people for questioning." ”

When it came to the end, Pompey's heart was full of worry, if the plan did not come true, then he had only a dead end.

Subsequently. Pompey once again gathered the representatives of the people, as well as 30,000 young and middle-aged people, in the central square.

Pompey was seated on a high platform, surrounded by Roman soldiers.

Liu Bei flicked one ear and walked to the edge of the high platform. He said emotionally: "Folks, surrender." If you surrender to the Imperial Army, you will be able to live a good life, as the saying goes. People do not destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake, and you do not think about yourself. Also think about your parents, wife and children. You will become the first batch of Chinese people to follow the imperial army to fight the world, and you are all great heroes. In the future, glory and wealth will be greatly dropped! ”

Because of the news received last night, the people are looking at each other at this moment, but they don't know how to respond.

At this time, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun walked out, looked at the high platform and bowed, and when they turned around, Zhou Yu said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, we have been holding on for more than a month. We've done our best for Great Qin, and now it's time for us to think about it. Speaking of this, Zhou Yu patted his chest and said, "I, Zhou Yu, have figured it out, isn't life just to live a good life." The imperial army wants to treat us preferentially, so why can't we live a good life? I, Zhou Yu, are ready to surrender to the imperial army, and you must also plan for your future, and no one will remember you if you die here in vain. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly translated, and Pompey was overjoyed when he heard it, and praised Zhou Yu and Sun Quan.

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu who was persuading the people in the audience, and said in his heart: "The Metropolitan Governor has finally opened his mind, following Qin Zijin is only a dead end, and only by following me can he become the Metropolitan Governor again." ”

Subsequently, Lu Xun also expressed his submission to the imperial army, and said to the dozen or so old ladies in front of him: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have to think about future generations, and you can't cut off your children and grandchildren." Cutting off children and grandchildren is the only way to turn their backs on the master and forget their ancestors, so they don't have the face to go underground to see their ancestors and ancestors. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly translated again, Pompey nodded his head, and said: "This person named Lu Xun also has brains, and this persuasion is good." ”

The old ladies glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and walked out tremblingly, looked at the high platform and bowed, and said, "My lord may save my family's life......." ”

Pompey, who had received the translation, hurriedly got up, strode to the side of the high platform, and jumped down after pondering. The expression on his face was more kind and kind, and he personally supported the princes, as if he was his own father, and waved his hand: "You surrender to my Rome, and I Pompey will treat you like my own family, and if you have made meritorious contributions, I Pompey will personally go to ask His Majesty to carry you all into the register of Roman citizens." ”

So, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun started up, the old lady followed, and the people all surrendered.

Pompey was overjoyed, laughed, and said in his heart: "It's okay now, Emperor Hongwu is dead." Wait to kill the Great Qin Emperor, you Great Qin people are all slaves of my Roman citizens. You yellow-skinned monkeys still want to be citizens? There are no doors! ”

In this regard, Pompey, who was pressed for time, immediately gave preferential treatment to the people of Daqin, let them go to find their families to reunite, and gave food to show care.

Immediately afterwards, Pompey returned to the palace with Liu Bei and others, and praised Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun for their contributions to the Roman Empire. And promised that after the victory, there will be a reward, "Huaxia is so big, it is indispensable to want to come to the governor of a state." ”

Liu Bei and Sun Quan were overjoyed, and the chickens they worshipped ate rice.

Subsequently, Pompey waved his hand and used the power of the dictator to make Liu Bei the commander of the Imperial Allied Army, Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang as the deputy commander, Zhou Yu as the chief centurion, and Lu Xun as the centurion of the first brigade.

Liu Bei changed the commander's helmet, the bristle brush became more luxurious, and Sun Quan and others also had a series of "Moxican" brushes. One by one, they all became high-ranking officers of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

It's not enough to have a brush, you need someone. And so. The five of them left the government office with high spirits and went to the people's station to gather their soldiers and horses.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan are in line with the idea of "Han Xin's more soldiers, the better". But Pompey gave only the first five thousand places. Zhou Yu and Lu Xun already had 2,000 militiamen under them, and the people of Daqin knew the inside story, so young and middle-aged people joined the Imperial Association Army one after another.

Under the advice of Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun, during the registration period, these people kept saying: "The opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune has come." had the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, why did he go to death, he was really stupid before. ”

When Liu Bei, Sun Quan and the Romans heard this, they were convinced. Because they are such people, they are incomprehensible to the people of Great Qin who swear to resist to the death.

In the afternoon of the day. Pompey was in the central square, inspecting the newly formed Imperial Army.

Liu Bei couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and said: "Your Excellency the dictator, with the Imperial Cooperative Army, you can deceive Qin Feng, and we will ambush at the West Gate!" ”

Zhuge Liang sneered in his heart, wore a Roman brush helmet, and walked out shaking a feather fan, "Your Excellency the dictator." Emperor Hongwu will arrive tomorrow, and the Roman legions will leave the city today so as not to be detected. ”

Pompey was convinced, so he left his henchman Demosthenes to defend the city with 5,000 Roman soldiers. He also ordered Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun to lead the Imperial Association Army to assist. And he himself personally led 20,000 Roman soldiers out of the city to station, making a posture of encirclement. Only the west gate remains.

Liu Bei was angry because he wanted to stay in the city. He went to Pompey to ask, but was denied.

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief. His layout of encircling and annihilating Rome under the city of Huiji has finally come to an end, and tonight, it depends on Zhou Yu and Lu Xun.

At night, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun found Sun Quan, and Zhou Yu said: "My lord, tomorrow is a fierce battle, do you invite the commander who stayed behind, Demosthenes, to win over." Come to think of it, if this person says a good word after the war, the credit of the lord will be even greater. ”

When Sun Quan heard that he was called the lord again, he was very happy in his heart, and he pondered this idea very reasonably. So, Sun Quan and the three of them jointly invited Demosthenes to come to the palace to entertain and discuss the defense of the city tomorrow.

Demosthenes did not doubt that he had him, and brought his own soldiers to Sun Quan's mansion.

Sun Quan only thought that he was the commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army, but he didn't know that this Imperial Cooperative Army soldier was actually a loyal and brave Qin Cooperative Army militia who surrendered.

During the banquet, Zhou Yu raised his knife and cut off Demosthenes' head. And Lu Xun led the militia and killed all of Demosthenes' personal guards.

Sun Quan, who was frightened, almost peed his pants and shouted, "Why is this? ”

Lu Xun said angrily: "Blue-eyed child, mess with me Jiangdong." Think we're as shameless as you are? We are deceitful and surrendered, and we have come by command! ”

"Surrender!" Sun Quan understood, and when he collapsed to the ground, his crotch was wet. His face was as pale as a dead man, and when he saw the sword light and sword shadow, he vomited and passed out.

Zhou Yu stopped Lu Xun, glanced at Sun Quan with disdain, and said, "Such a thief still needs to be sent by the emperor himself!" ”

So, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun used Demosthenes' command knife and token to lead the militia separately. On the one hand, go up to the city to change defenses, and on the other hand, enter the Roman military camp.

The whole city was ablaze, and the killing sound shook the sky, and the Romans were caught off guard. Those at the head of the city were beheaded at close range, and most of the barracks were hacked to death in their beds.

In just a quarter of an hour, Huiji City returned to the hands of Great Qin, and the Great Qin militia wiped out 5,000 Roman devils almost unscathed, which was really Zhuge Liang's clever plan.

The brief fighting still shocked the Romans. When the flag of Rome at the head of the city was burned and thrown down, and when it was replaced with the banner of Daqin, the matter was already self-evident.

"How so!" Pompey was not angry and panicked for a while, but was dumbfounded. However, after a short time, he was angry in panic and shouted: "Arrest Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to see me, quickly!" ”

The Roman soldiers outside the city did not sleep anymore, and ran out of the camp one by one, stupidly watching the city head that changed its flag and kept throwing out the corpses of Roman soldiers, not knowing what was happening.

Soldier Wise had just had a chance to take out the cake that had been brought along with him, and he took his first bite here, and he froze at the upheaval in the city. With his mouth wide open, a note echoed in the wind outside his mouth, "Huh, what is this?" ”

"Alert, alert!" The centurions of each team began to gather their men and horses.

Wise hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Master Centurion, what do you think this thing is?" (To be continued......)
