(Foreword)
Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

In a few moments, the large army in front of the barracks had been assembled!! As I walked out of the barracks, I was shocked by what I saw.
"General Wu!! Where is General Wu!! I yelled.
I saw that the soldiers were ready to go, like sharp arrows, ready to go.
Among the ten thousand troops, I saw one person hurrying over, and that person was Wu Ban, who walked quickly in front of me and said, "The last general is here, what does the general command?"
"General Wu, let me ask you, how many troops have I asked you to order?" I asked sternly?
"Three thousand soldiers." Wu Ban's answer was correct, but looking at it, there were not only 3,000 soldiers in front of this barracks, but also 30,000 troops!!
The army was assembled in front of the barracks, and although there were many of them, they were uniform.
"The general is angry for the time being, it is not that the last general will dispatch these 30,000 soldiers, but that the soldiers themselves take the initiative to ask for battle." General Wu explained.
"What is the initiative to ask for war? You are a dignified general of the Shu army, how can you let the soldiers not listen to orders, and there is no joke in the army!! I said that this time I led my troops to the expedition, and I could only order 3,000 troops!! I roared.
I know very well that this expedition is full of dangers, not to mention whether it can succeed, it is difficult to say whether I can even return to the barracks, how can I let the soldiers of the whole army go on an adventure with me, besides, I have already given the token to Professor Wu, if I fail, at least the combat strength of the Shu army is still there, and there may be a chance to win by surprise, but if the soldiers of the whole army are trapped on the battlefield with me, then who can fight after that, and the hope of leaving the strange array will become smaller and smaller.
"The last general doesn't know, this expedition, I personally selected the most brave and good soldiers, in order not to let other soldiers know, I did not send soldiers with great fanfare, and who knew that there would be so many soldiers gathered before this military camp today, even the last general was very shocked." Wu Ban looked like me, and he didn't know what was going on.
"So, General Wu, even you don't know? Then why are these soldiers gathered in front of the barracks?" I asked, confused.
"The last general really doesn't know!" General Wu didn't know how to answer.
Forget it, in that case, fortunately, I can still command the three armies, and my words should still have some effect.
"The people will obey!! This time is not to attack Yiling Pass, but to explore the surrounding terrain, all the soldiers and soldiers please return to the camp immediately, the war is coming, and I hope that everyone can show their ambition to serve the country when the time comes!! After I finished speaking, I looked at the Shu soldiers in front of me, and none of them had the intention of leaving. What's going on? Is my command useless?
"Soldiers!! Could it be that my orders are no longer effective? I looked at the soldiers in front of me suspiciously.
"General!! The last generals already know that the generals will take the lead for the entire Shu army, and we, as soldiers, have understood what we are doing since we stood on the station. If there are some difficulties ahead, if we have to retreat, what face do we have to face the fathers and villagers in our hometown? A soldier stepped forward and said.
"General!! The soldiers are all deficit hearts, the world can be seen, how can they watch the general in danger. Let the soldiers go with you!! Wu Ban suddenly also sided with the soldiers.
"Military orders are like mountains!! Now that you know that you are a soldier and that you have responsibilities, you should know that every soldier on the battlefield must follow orders. Is my word no longer useful? Before I glared, I was still very moved in my heart.
"General!! Let us go to the battlefield with you!! ”
"I stood on the wall of Yiling Pass, and when I saw the sword that appeared in the sky, I didn't expect to be able to return to the barracks, if there were no generals and the soldiers of the Tiger Shield Array, I couldn't believe that I could return to the camp of the Shu army, so please general, no matter what, bring the last general." Said a wounded infantry soldier.
"General!! I once rushed to the enemy with the tiger shield in my hand, and now that the general is returning to the battlefield, how can I sit idly by, recuperate in the army, and let the last general go to battle!! Another soldier holding a tiger shield said.
In front of me, many soldiers suddenly appeared, and everyone had a reason to return to the battlefield again, and this enthusiasm was ignited in the hearts of 30,000 soldiers at once.
"The --- --- will --- the soldiers!! I can understand your feelings, but a military order is a military order, and if anyone dares to speak out again, military law will do it!! I said out loud.
"General!! Why are you doing this? The soldiers are all kind-hearted!! General Wu persuaded.
I know the sincerity of the soldiers, but I can't let them go on an adventure with me no matter what. The decision in my heart has been made, no one's words are useless, a military order is a military order!! On this expedition, I only brought 3,000 soldiers, and the rest of the people stayed in the Shu army camp.
"Military Order!! Well, I will immediately order that the generals of the three armies will reorganize their armaments and immediately attack the Yiling Pass!! Suddenly, a familiar voice was in the distance, and I looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, it was Professor Wu.
"Professor Wu, why are you here!!" I looked at Professor Wu in confusion.
"I'm here to lead the army!!" Behind Professor Wu stood Cui Li, Lin Yun, Professor Du Jiang and Hu Zaide!!
"Leading the army into battle? What the hell is going on? Could it be that you have sent the soldiers of the three armies? "I finally understood why so many soldiers were gathered at the gate of the Shu army camp.
"That's right, we are here to dispatch the three armies, and the goal is directly aimed at Yiling Pass!!" Professor Twie said.
"yes!! Cheng Yin, let us come here to help you!! Lin Yun said.
"You are... No way!!! It's too dangerous!! I ordered all the soldiers to return to the camp immediately to recuperate. I yelled.
"The Three Armed Forces Obey !! Orders" Professor Wu suddenly held up the token I gave him, looked around at the generals, and said in a louder voice, "The three armies obey the order!! Set off immediately, the target is Yiling Pass!! ”
Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally had seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).
