Although Pan Lin is brave and brave, he also understands that Mao Gan and Zu Lang have the most methods in the clan, and if he hires helpers, then he will have to obey them even more.

What's more, he also failed to retreat this time, where did he dare to be strong again, and immediately walked in front of Zhuge Qiao and bowed, "Since Mr. has a way, then do what Mr. said, I am a rough person, please Mr. Don't meet with me."

Zhuge Qiao saw that Pan Lin was a person with a surname, but he also appreciated it very much, so he said, "There is just a lack of riding table tennis in the bottom, and the leader of Pan Lin is here at the right time, as long as everyone works together, the 30,000 Wu troops here still can't help us."

Although I don't know what Zhuge Qiao will do to retreat from the enemy, seeing that he, a thin scholar, has such a heroic spirit, several other people also have a lot of confidence in their hearts.

On the cliff, the Wu army hid behind the shade of the grass and trees to monitor the trapped Shanyue army, and when he saw that there was sudden movement in the past few days, he hurried to report to Zhuge Ke.

"Report! Commander, the Yamakoshi Army is building a raft."

"Oh?" Zhuge Ke frowned slightly, didn't the Shanyue army plan to retreat, and he wanted to go deep alone?

"Let's take a look!" Puzzled in his heart, he got up and walked out with Lu Shu to see what the Shanyue Army was planning to do. The Shanyue army at the foot of the mountain had already separated itself and re-erected countless military tents, and along the river, there were men and horses rushing to make simple rafts, but three or four wooden stakes were simply tied to them.

312 Fight wits and courage

The division of labor of these Shanyue troops is very clear and orderly, felling, carrying, intercepting, and binding, each in an orderly manner, Zhuge Ke's brows furrowed again, this is not like Shanyue's usual chaotic style.

However, thinking that he had already arranged a ping pong horse on the other side, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, even if those people made a raft, they were afraid that they would be in vain.

"These Shanyue troops really don't know whether they are alive or dead, and there are Cheng Cheng Ping's guards on the other side, but I'm afraid that those people's hard work will be in vain." Lu Shu said with a smile.

Zhuge Ke was about to turn around, when he suddenly saw the movement of the Shanyue army, he couldn't help but stop, showing a look of surprise.

I saw that the Shanyue army moved the finished raft to the foot of the mountain, began to dig a ditch in the ground, and buried half of the raft in the soil.

Lu Shu also saw this scene, wondered in her heart, and turned her head to look at Zhuge Ke with a solemn look in his eyes.

Zhuge Kemo rubbed his chin and muttered, this move of the Shanyue Army was greatly unexpected by him, according to this, the Shanyue Army wanted to relieve his worries and prevent the Wu Army from sneaking up from behind.

"This Shanyue Army is not as stupid as imagined!" Zhuge Ke nodded slightly, not understanding whether it was a compliment or ridicule.

"Why did the Shanyue Army suddenly set up a big tent today? Could it be that those people have enough ping-pong competition?" Lu Shu asked. Definitely!" Zhuge Ke sneered at the corner of his mouth, no matter how the Shanyue army tossed, as long as he guarded the valley, he would be unable to escape, he pointed to the place where the Shanyue army had piled up grain and grass and said, "Shanyue grain and grass can be used for half a month at most, and now I have put the other two bandits in, but I am afraid that I will not be able to insist on it for half a month."

Even if the thief army wants to hold on, there is not enough food and grass, and it is difficult to success."

"Why don't you let General Cheng cross the river and rob grain?" Lu Shu saw that the grain and grass of the Shanyue army was close to the riverbank, and her heart moved, if she could burn some of the grain and grass of Shanyue again, victory would be a matter of two days.

"Let's wait!" Although Zhuge Ke was a little moved, the abnormal behavior of the Shanyue Army made him more vigilant, - everything was under control, and he couldn't make a mistake because of his surname, and it would be too late to regret it!

Chaisang, under the cover of the sky, is like a beast crouching in the dark, the river in the west of the city beats the reef, and under the night wind, the waves rush to the shore layer after layer, which seems to soothe the ancient city to sleep early.

A dozen sparse torches on the city walls swayed in the river breeze, and the soldiers guarding the city moved mechanically, waiting for the people on duty to rush in, and they would be able to drink two glasses of mulled wine and listen to a little song.

"Little Liu, look, it looks like someone is coming." Wang San, who was on the head of the city in the south, saw a group of fires in the distance, and was approaching Chaisang.

"Huh?" Xiao Liu was thinking about sending something to Xiao Taohong, whom he had just met last month, when he heard Wang San's call, he rubbed his eyes, and sure enough, he also saw the firelight, "It's really, it's so late, how can anyone come, it seems that there are a lot of people."

Wang San was also puzzled, if there was a table tennis horse coming, he should receive an order from the county guard, now Chaisang's table tennis power has been drawn to the expedition, and there are only 5,000 reserve table tennis in the city, all of them are new table tennis players like him and Xiaoliu who lack training, and they are responsible for maintaining law and order.

Seeing that the men and horses were coming from the south, they didn't dare to be careless, and they were busy, and said, "Go and tell the county guard, I'm here to watch."

After Xiao Liu left, Wang San hurriedly called the defenders of Nancheng to be on guard, and prepared to beat drums and gongs at any time, and dozens of defenders were waiting in the city.

It didn't take long for those fires to reach the city, and seeing that these soldiers were all his own people, Wang San breathed a sigh of relief, shouted, and said, "Where are you—where are you from?" What's the matter with Chaisang?"

"We came from Henan, and on the orders of General Chen Wu, we came to borrow some grain and grass." I saw a general in his thirties walking out of the team, dressed in uniform.

"Grain and grass?" Wang San was stunned, "General Chen Wu went to crusade against the Shanyue thieves, and finally asked Chaisang to prepare grain and grass!"

The man was not in a hurry, and continued, "General Chen Wu originally thought that the grain and grass in Yu County were enough to use, but now he has besieged the Shanyue thieves under the Yellow Ridge of Pengze Langxi, and seeing that he immediately succeeded in begging the thieves, but Yu was short of grain and grass, so he ordered us to come and borrow some grain and grass."

"Oh!" Wang San nodded slightly, but he?? He has no power, he can only wait for news, the military order strictly stipulates that it is strictly forbidden to enter the city at night, and he does not dare to open the door without permission before the county keeper comes.

Seeing that there was still no movement in the city, he asked, "Since General Chen Wu sent it, do you have a token?"

The man took out the Changsheng letter from his bosom, "Now there is a letter written by Zhuge Ke with the army in his own hand."

Wang San hurriedly ordered a bamboo basket to be hung from the city wall, and asked the man to bring the letter.

"Who's coming?" As soon as Wang San took the letter in his hand, he heard a voice, and when he looked back, he saw that it was the county guard, and hurriedly handed the letter over, "Lord Hui, it is the people and horses sent by Yu, saying that they want to borrow some grain and grass."

Chaisang County Shou is Zhou Yu's widow Zhou Xun, hearing Wang San's words, his brows furrowed slightly, and he took the letter and opened it - look, it is Zhuge Ke's handwritten letter.

The letter explained that the Shanyue army was now besieged, and only waited for the thief army to run out of food, and the net could be exhausted, but the grain and grass prepared in Yucheng were not enough for 30,000 people to use, so he ordered people to come to borrow grain, and when the begging for Yue ended, it could also be used for Zhou Xun to record the merits.

Zhou Xun has a very close relationship with Zhuge Ke, and has studied with Shen You, a famous scholar in Eastern Wu, and is naturally familiar with his handwriting. Since taking charge of Chaisang, Zhou Xun has been conscientious and conscientious, and he does not dare to have the slightest horse, which is not only a reward for Sun Quan, but also because he has the aura of Zhou Yu on his head, because he is weak and sick and cannot lead the table tennis to fight, he wants to make some political achievements in the rear governance, and he can't let people talk about it behind his back

.

Under his rule, water conservancy was built, taxes were reduced, Chaisang was thriving, the city was in order, and the warehouses had long been full of grain for many years, and it was not important to lend to Zhuge Ke, not to mention that the military situation was urgent, and it was too late to report to Wu County.

As the saying goes, if you are outside the king's life, you can be regarded as a casual adaptation! Came to the head of the city, looked at the thousands of ping pong horses under the city, and wanted to order Wang San to open the city, but suddenly his heart was filled with a trace of uneasiness, hesitated for a moment, and asked Wang San to pass the word, and said, "I have already read Zhuge Senjun's letter, and the ping pong grain can be borrowed, but the military stipulates that the city gate cannot be opened privately at night, so that those people will come back to get food in the morning?"
