Chapter 5: Between Father and Son

Xinye, this was the foothold of my father, and it was here that my father got Mr. and began the most important turning point in his life, and since then he has been like a fish in water, flying dragons in the sky, and the whole world is shaken. However, on top of today's big chess game of the top three, Xinye can't even let the three giants take a second look.

People's eyes are in Luoyang, in Yangzhou, and in Xiangyang.

Because of this, Zhuge Qiao's surprise attack played a great role, and it took Ehuan less than a day to capture Xinye County, and Fan Jiang also captured Yuyang. The 20,000 Ji Han soldiers and horses quickly drove out the local Cao Wei officials, took control of the local power, changed the banner, and included it in their own sphere of influence.

Zhuge Qiao's sudden action attracted the attention of Xu Huang and Zhuge Jin, who were fighting in Xiangyang. Zhuge Jin and Xu Huang were only at a stalemate during this time. As I expected, Cao Wei really secretly sent an envoy to Eastern Wu to negotiate and tell Sun Quan that as long as Sun Quan agreed to join Wei to fight against Han, they would cede Jingzhou to Eastern Wu. This proposal is quite moving, Sun Quan wants to occupy all of Jingzhou for a day, and today he can capture Jingzhou without any soldiers and horses, which is naturally a little shaken. But at this time, Ji Han's envoys came one after another and said to him that as long as Luoyang and Xiangfan were captured, they would all be handed over to Eastern Wu, and Ji Han would never be touched.

In the face of this disagreement, there was endless controversy between Soochow and Soochow. The pro-Han faction, dominated by the descendants of the family, believed that Cao Wei could not be trusted and must not easily betray the alliance; And Sun Deng's younger brother Sun Xian Sun He and others recommended Sun Quan with a large group of ministers, nothing is more important than territory, since Jingzhou can be taken without a single sword, why do you need to mobilize people to attack Cao Wei? What's more, the Cao and Liu families are fighting each other right now, and the Sun family can take advantage of the void to take advantage of the mediocrity, not to mention that Zhuge Qiao is Zhuge Jin's son. Let Zhuge Jin take the mediocrity, it must be bloodless, and it will be easy.

Sun Quan was almost stunned by these two statements. In contrast, Cao Wei's conditions seem to be a little more favorable, but Cao Wei's credit has never been guaranteed, but if he wants to attack Wei with Ji Han, it will not be effective for a while, and it has become a stalemate.

Zhuge Shang's surprise action broke this deadlock. With his attack. Suddenly, Cao Wei retreated, and Cao Wei's iron cavalry was like flying, and its speed was really not comparable to the people in the south of the Yangtze River who used boats instead of cars. When Zhuge Jin was ready to attack, Xiangyang had become an empty city, leaving only one sentence written on the city wall: Ji Han is insatiable, beware of gaining and losing.

Although the wealthy households in the city were removed by Cao Wei as early as the beginning of the war, this was the first time that Eastern Wu occupied Xiangyang City. Zhuge Jin quickly reported the good news to King Wu. On the one hand, he made an appearance for Anmin, and then notified Zhuge Qiao to let him come to Xiangyang to see him and discuss how to coordinate the two armies next.

However, the deliberations had not yet taken place. Zhuge Jin received the news that the forward general Zhang Ba was fighting with Ji Han. Zhuge Jin didn't take it to heart, since ancient times, border friction is inevitable, not to mention that the other party is his son. What else, it's a big deal to laugh it off. He only laughed and scolded: "This little brute." "Just put it aside.

The next day, the battle report came, but he was shocked, Zhang Ba's forward 10,000 people, by the Shushui River, was attacked by Ji Han, and fought for three hours. The losses amounted to more than 3,500 people. This number is simply intolerable, Zhuge Qiao, is he crazy? Although he knew that Zhuge Qiao had seized Xinye and other four counties, leaving aside the relationship between the two countries, Zhuge Jin still liked his son, and he even felt that except for his own son, who had such vision. I saw that I couldn't do it. snatch food from under your mouth. But when the news came today, he was furious. Zhuge Qiao, you kid went crazy and did this to his father!

He immediately ordered the front army to hold on, and he personally led the Chinese army north. He wants to negotiate with Zhuge Qiao personally. But before it reached Shuishui, Zhuge Qiao's letter arrived, and the first sentence in it was, Father, why did you send people to attack Ji Han's people by Shuishui?

Zhuge Jin couldn't cry or laugh, and tore the letter to shreds: "Tell your lord, just say that Zhuge Jin, the general of the Eastern Wu Zuo, wants to see your lord by the water, and ask him to come over to me within three days to explain this matter clearly, otherwise, I will clean up his bastard subordinates for him." ”

The messenger departed quickly.

But after three days, Zhuge Qiao did not come. Only the messenger sent a letter. Zhuge Jin was furious, scolded the beast for being rude, and didn't look at it, so he tore up the letter, and with an order, he surrounded Ji Han and Ehuan's troops.

The Ehuan Department was all recruits, and they were panicked for a while, not knowing what to do. For the sake of strengthening the army, E Huan rode into battle alone, scolding Dongwu for not paying attention to credibility and betraying the alliance and harming friends. He's a rough man, and he doesn't have a clean word in his mouth. Zhuge Jin was on the fire, where could he stand such angry scolding, and ordered: "Capture this rough billet for me, and I will discipline and discipline them for adults." Feng Yi, a subordinate general, had already stepped forward, Feng Yi faced E Huan and scolded: "Good and evil thief, you are already dead, do you dare not surrender?" E Huan sneered: "If you have the original, you will come up, if you don't have the ability, you should be a turtle with a shrunken head." I don't have the ability to Cao Wei, but I came to my grandfather to find death? Feng Yi stepped forward angrily, and E Huan said in his heart, if you don't kill a few of him today, I am afraid that the army's spirit will be scattered. Fang Tianhalberd waved everywhere, only three together, and beheaded Feng Yi under the horse. If it weren't for Zhuge Jin to stop them, according to their temper, they would have rushed up, at this time, seeing Feng Yi die in battle, where can they still bear it, three or five horsemen rushed up together, each raised their weapons to E Huan, E Huan sneered, fearless, wielded his halberd, and fought in a ball. Thirty rounds, one will be killed, and three will be injured.

The Eastern Wu crowd was excited, and they all asked Zhuge Jin to order an attack and kill this Ji Handi bastard.

Zhuge Jin's anger arched again and again in his heart, and finally he couldn't press it, he was the main general, but he couldn't ignore the mood of his subordinates, at this time, he didn't give Ji Han a little color, but he was afraid that his military spirit would also be dispersed.

He waved his hand, the Eastern Wu army attacked, Ji Han was defeated, although E Huan was brave, but the position was impulsive, but he could not restrain the men and horses, and even retreated thirty miles, and the Xinye City that was only in his hands was also robbed by the Eastern Wu.

At this time, Zhuge Qiao was miserable.

Speaking of which, he is a very calm person, and he also got the news of Ji Han's attack first. But he immediately ordered that there should be no fighting, and that he should retreat ten miles and set up camp again. Then he wrote to ask his father what was going on. The messenger reported that the old general was very rude, tore up the letter, and wanted to meet him within three days, otherwise he would have to do it.

Zhuge Qiao wanted to move, but Xiahou Wei, who had been defending the city for many days without fighting, suddenly sent troops, so that Zhuge Qiao could not leave, Zhuge Qiao knew that it was wrong, there must be something strange in this matter, and he wrote a letter at the moment, telling Zhuge Jin that he asked the two families to strike the army, and they must not be impulsive, but they were afraid that the first attack was Cao Wei's plan. He couldn't leave for a while, and he couldn't go to see his father and ask him to forgive.

But not long after the letter was sent, he received news that E Huan was defeated at the hands of his father and Xinye was captured.

Zhuge Qiao smashed his fist on the case. He miscalculated, he did not expect that his father would personally lead troops against his men, and his father-son relationship not only did not help to resolve the dispute, but accelerated it. If it weren't for his father, he would definitely not ask him to go to see him within three days in a condescending tone, and if it weren't for his father, he would definitely not have to discipline his subordinates on his behalf.

Originally, I received a letter from His Majesty, and asked myself to be careful of Cao Weizhi's timing, I was still laughing, if the enemy wanted to be divided, if he wanted to cause a conflict between Wu and Han, it was a dream, how could there be a conflict between the father and the son? It seems that he knows too little about human nature, and it turns out that it is easier to have conflicts between fathers and sons. Fortunately, I am not so stunned, and because I haven't been with my father for a long time, I still cherish the family relationship between them, otherwise, my head is hot, and I think that my father oppresses people with power, and he is his own master, so he has to fight.

Either way, it's a big problem. In this conflict, the intimate relationship between Han and Wu was temporarily destroyed, and if Cao Wei attacked him at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to get the help of Eastern Wu. And with his own troops, it is okay to deal with Xiahou Wei, if Xu Huang divides his troops to come, he is afraid that he is in danger.

What to do?

Zhuge Qiao wandered around the room, worried.

After a long time, Zhuge Qiao calmed down and wrote a long book, telling the cause and effect in detail, asking his father to focus on the overall situation, not to destroy the alliance between the Sun and Liu families, and not to hurt the relationship between father and son because of temporary anger. In the end, he said that he had found out that it was Cao Wei Xu Huang who pretended to be Ji Han to attack Dongwu and pretended to be Dongwu to attack Ji Handi. How can the relationship between father and son be destroyed by others, he has already raised troops, crossed the river to the east, and attacked the camp of Cao Wei in the Quewei slope, and must kill Xu Huang, not to take revenge, and swear not to be a man. E Huan and Fan Jiang, they all recalled and let all the four counties out, if their father wanted to, he just went to the army to get it.

Seal the letter and give it to his confidant, and ask him to give it to his father within three days. He wrote this letter three times in a row, asked the messenger to put it on his body, tore one and gave it to the second one at once. Then he led his troops to the south, ignoring the threat of Xiahou Wei behind him, recalled the second general, led the army to the east, and went straight to Queweipo.

Before long, Zhuge Jin was taken aback, and shouted in a lost voice: "This little beast is dead, with his ability, how to face Xu Huang and Xiahou Wei at the same time, and being hit back and forth is the way to death!" ”

He shouted: "Beat the drums, raise the tent, and assemble the whole army!" ”
