In the first year of Jian'an, an autumn morning.

In the north gate of Huaiyin County, countless people trying to get out of the city were huddled.

A carriage was stuck on the side of the road, unable to move, and the driver couldn't help but look anxious.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, someone on the city tower suddenly shouted: "Ximen burns wolf smoke!" Close the gates! ”

The gatekeeper immediately tried to close the door, but the people in the front row saw that the escape road was close at hand, so how could they give up?

For a while, there was chaos and shoving, and the carriage was also crushed by the crowd and the axle was broken and dumped on the side of the road.

……

Zhuge Jing only felt a whirling feeling of weightlessness in his sleep, and then he was hit the head and couldn't help but wake up in pain.

The pain was very thorough, from the body to the depths of the soul, and it was accompanied by a huge amount of memories flooding into the brain.

He couldn't help but open his eyes, his eyeballs were bloodshot, staring at the familiar and unfamiliar everything in front of him, and his face was full of bewilderment.

"Jin'er, are you awake?" A beautiful woman next to her was originally hit by a car accident, but when she saw Zhuge Jing open her eyes, she immediately crawled over from surprise to joy, holding his head and staring at his eyeballs to confirm.

"I ...... I have a headache and let me be quiet. Zhuge Jing panted loudly, and the beautiful woman put him down and handed over a leather bag.

Zhuge Jing sat in a daze for a few minutes and drank a few sips of water, only then did he breathe down and roughly clarify the current situation:

Yesterday, he was still a newly unemployed New Oriental gold medal lecturer, and he wrote a limerick poem in anger for a while, and then he was struck by thunder.

And now, he actually traveled back to the end of the Han Dynasty and became Zhuge Jin.

What's this all about? In his previous life, his ancestral home was Zhuge Town, Lanxi County, Wuzhou County, Wuyue Province, and it is said that the people surnamed Zhuge in the town are all descendants of Wuhou. So strictly speaking, this body is now the eldest brother of his ancestors.

How can there be such a crossing in the world!

Taking advantage of the time he had just drunk water to rest his breath, he initially fused the memories of the original owner of the flesh body, and knew that he was now on his way to flee to Wu County.

Since Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou at the end of the year before last, Zhuge Yimen fled south from Langya's hometown.

Zhuge Jin originally wanted to go directly to Yangzhou, but when he first ran to Guangling County last year, he heard that Sun Ce and Liu Miao on the other side were fighting fiercely, so he temporarily stayed in Huaiyin County for more than half a year.

Until more than a month ago, Yuan Shu invaded and fought Liu Bei in Xuyi. Seeing that Guangling County was also plunged into war again, and Sun Ce and Liu Miao of Danyang County on the other side had finished fighting, Zhuge Jin decided to continue to flee south.

Who knew that he was taken away on the eve of the departure, and he stayed asleep all the time, so there was the scene just now.

After accepting all these settings, Zhuge Jin took a long breath and looked up at the people in the same car.

The beautiful woman was his stepmother Song, and the person driving the car next to her was her younger brother Song Xin.

Song Xin is his uncle in terms of etiquette, but the two are the same age, but they are actually like brothers. When his father Zhuge Jue was alive, he let this brother-in-law study with his sons.

At this moment, Song Xin saw that Zhuge Jin finally came to his senses, and couldn't help complaining and sighing:

"Ziyu, how good would it be if you woke up earlier? Early in the morning, if it weren't for the eldest sister thinking that you had a strange illness and were delayed for a long time, maybe we would have escaped from the city! I heard that Yuan Shu's military discipline was corrupt, and he burned, killed, and plundered all the way, how can he be good now! ”

Zhuge Jin was stunned by Song Xin's words, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to confirm that the city gate had indeed been closed.

He couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhuge Jin in history, should be able to successfully escape to Yangzhou, right?" It seems that it was the butterfly effect that I took away, which caused a slight delay in the trip, and I missed the opportunity to escape? ”

Although it had only been a few minutes since he had passed, Zhuge Jin had already felt a cruel aura coming to his face.

In troubled times, human life is like a mustard, even if it is a historical celebrity with atmospheric luck, it may be pushed to the brink of life and death by the butterfly effect at any time.

This feeling is like hearing the bad news when trading stocks, but you didn't have time to throw it, and then you were stamped by the falling limit.

But the matter has come to this point, and I can only see the tricks and find another way to save my life.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly comforted his stepmother and uncle: "Since it is because I delayed the trip, I will find another way to make up for it." It's just that he didn't escape to Wu County, and the sky may not fall.

In my opinion, Liu Yuanjun will not let the Yuan thief kill the living beings. Since I am trapped in the city, I can try to help defend the city, and after repelling the Yuan thieves, I will think about it in the long run. ”

Song didn't understand foreign affairs, and when his son said this, he had no idea.

Song Xin knew that things were not so easy, and reminded: "I am now a white body, with no name, and there is no way to give advice, not to mention Ziyu, you only read the scriptures and history, when did you know the army?" Yuan Shubing is strong and strong, how can he retreat so easily? ”

"It's man-made, it's better to go home first and think about it in the long run." Zhuge Jin's mind was still a little messy, and he couldn't come up with a letter for a while, so he had to prevaricate first.

The family had no choice but to put the soft belongings on the back of the horse and prepare to ride away. As for the broken car and heavy luggage, they can only be left behind temporarily, and make sure that people get out of danger first.

Although at least a cup of tea has passed since the city gate was closed, there are still thousands of people on the street who have not yet dispersed, most of them hoping for luck and wanting to wait for a better turnaround.

Zhuge Jin was afraid of bumping into innocent people, so he could only control the horse bridle and slowly squeeze out along the crowd.

However, before he could squeeze out of the crowd, there was another sound of horses' hooves outside the city, as if a large number of cavalry were approaching. The defenders at the head of the city were becoming more and more like a great enemy, and the people in the crowd were in turmoil again.

"It's Ji Ling's cavalry coming around from the west of the city! Crossbow on guard! ”

There was a shout of preparation for war on the city tower, and then there was a captain, who seemed to notice that the people at the gate had not yet dispersed, and rushed down to maintain order:

"Where I am the people of Xuzhou, quickly retreat and leave the door a hundred steps!"

With the shouting of the captain, the archers next to him were all on guard with bows and arrows, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn for a while.

Zhuge Jin looked back and saw this scene, and was immediately startled, and hurriedly persuaded others loudly: "Quickly retreat!" Otherwise, he will be shot by Yuan Shu! ”

Zhuge Jin knew very well that now that Ji Ling had been killed outside the door, what the defenders were most worried about was that there were people in the crowd who should take advantage of the chaos to seize the door. Once there is a misunderstanding, the consequences are unimaginable.

And on his own horse, the target is more eye-catching than other people on foot, and it is easy to get into the pond fish.

Even if it is just to save his life, Zhuge Jin must be brave and brave.

The people next to him were originally lucky at first because Liu Beijun was strict in discipline and did not kill innocents indiscriminately, and they were not very afraid of Captain Nadu's orders.

After listening to Zhuge Jin's explanation, and seeing that he was a decent man on horseback, he seemed to be very knowledgeable, so he believed a little more, and began to accelerate his retreat out of fear.

At this moment, the mutation occurred abruptly again.

There were dozens of "ordinary people" in the crowd, seeing that it was difficult to fish in troubled waters, so they suddenly did not retreat but advanced, and secretly drew their sharp blades and rushed towards Nadu Lieutenant.

Seeing this, the archers were almost about to release their arrows, but the lieutenant's eyes narrowed, and he quickly raised his hand and shouted: "You don't need to release the arrows!" Avoid harming the innocent! ”

The archers seemed to have a lot of trust in the main general, and when they heard this, they immediately put down their bows and arrows, and drew their ring-headed swords one after another. A strong man next to him stepped forward and handed a green dragon sword to Lieutenant Nadu.

(Note: The background of this book is according to the official history, but the weapons of famous generals refer to the romance, which is harmless and does not affect the historical process, I know that the Han Dynasty did not have a green dragon sword.) It's better to take into account the sense of literary substitution)

Na Du Wei copied the knife in his hand, rushed forward, swept vigorously with a move, faintly carried the sound of breaking the wind, and directly waved the few fine works in front of him into two sections.

Then he quickly made a few more moves, and the other archers also fought hard, and the group of door-snatchers were soon all killed on the spot.

"Guan Yu?!" Zhuge Jin saw the iconic Qinglong knife shot, and only then did he notice that the other party was really red-faced and long-haired, extremely tall and strong, and there was no doubt that it was Guan Yu.

Guan Yu finished the killing, dusted off his beautiful hair a few times, shook off the blood splashed on his beard, looked at Zhuge Jin with his residual vision, and nodded slightly.

Zhuge Jin met the other party's eyes, and his heart suddenly moved, and he came up with a plan - to attract the other party's attention and ask for the opportunity to see Liu Bei while the iron was hot, isn't this coming?

So he took a deep breath, brewed a good wording, and while Guan Yu was looking at him, he shouted loudly: "I have heard that Liu Envoy Jun is benevolent and loves the people, and now when I see the general disperse the people, he can still restrain the soldiers and prevent them from injuring the innocent with arrows, which can be seen."

But I thought that although the king was benevolent and righteous, he didn't know the soldiers! It is necessary to break Yuan's technique, or take the initiative to attack, in order to quickly break the enemy and stabilize the hearts of the people in Xuzhou. Or you can retreat to Xiapi and learn the method of Tao Gongzu to retreat from Cao Bing. But the only thing you can do is not to stay with Yuan Shu for a long time outside - this is really the next policy! Think again, general! ”

This remark was thought of by Zhuge Jin based on his prophet of history, and the real purpose was to persuade Liu Bei to shrink his forces and pay attention to stealing his family.

Other blatant nonsense, the logic may not stand up to scrutiny, it is just a cover for the subtext.

Because he knew very well that the key to the victory or defeat of the battle of Yuan, Liu and Guangling was not in the frontal battlefield. Once the Xiapi in the rear was stolen by Lu Bu, no matter how well Liu Bei fought on the frontal battlefield, it would be in vain.

And if Liu Bei is willing to change his plan and take advantage of the fact that Yuan Shu's main force has not yet arrived, he will first break through its vanguard and lead his troops back to defend Xiapi. Then he Zhuge Jin can also use the cover of the army to evacuate Huaiyin Land together, and both sides will have their own place, wouldn't it be beautiful?

And Guan Yu originally had a good first impression of this Confucian student, thinking that he had a keen eye and could think that there were fine works in the crowd at the door.

But at this moment, listening to his sudden wild words and pointing at the military plane, Guan Yu's face suddenly changed, squeezed through the crowd and rushed to him in a few steps, grabbed his belt and asked:

"Where did the madness come from! I also said that you have a little knowledge, how dare you talk about military aircraft and want to disturb the hearts of our army? How can the king's method of using troops be known by those who are waiting for rubber pillars and drummers? ”

Fortunately, Zhuge Jin's equestrian skills were very stable, but he was not pulled off the horse.

He immediately realized that he must not be entangled at this time, Guan Yu is famous for "Yu treats soldiers well and is proud of scholars", and his own paper talk will definitely anger him.

So he hurriedly said a squeeze: "I have heard for a long time that Corporal Liu Envoy Jun Lixian!" If you think what I have said is inappropriate, then you can introduce it to me, and let the envoy decide. Blocking people's words like this, aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation! ”

As long as there is a chance to meet Liu Bei, everything is easy to say. And in order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, Zhuge Jin could only say nothing.

These words were really like a basin of cold water, and Guan Yu's arrogance was extinguished.

Guan Yu immediately realized that there were so many onlookers at the gate of the city, and they all heard that this madman was here to offer advice. Even if what he said is ridiculous, it is not good for him to be rude to him in public, otherwise it will hurt the reputation of the eldest brother.

But he can't let the other side wantonly criticize his own decision to use troops in front of the soldiers, which will affect morale.

In a hurry, Guan Yu couldn't help but show a look of compromise on his face: "If you want to give advice, Captain Bendu will give you a chance!" But there are so many people here, how can we talk about secrets! ”

Guan Yu's words are more like an explanation to the onlookers, in order to maintain Liu Bei's image. After that, he didn't ask Zhuge Jin's opinion, and directly turned his head and ordered Qu Junhou, a cronie next to him:

"Shiren! You take this guy to the government! Let's just say that today I met a man who claimed to be able to give advice to the Lord! ”

The marquis couldn't help but be surprised: "Captain! Do you really want this rotten Confucian to meet the lord? ”

"The husband is true to his word, so why not listen to it."

Guan Yu proudly finished the order, waved his hand to signal Shiren to retreat, and then left them alone, and then turned to other departments and explained the defense deployment.

"Hurry up and light some firewood at the head of the city, pretend to be a chaotic shout, and then let the crossbow be on guard! Since Ji Ling has sent so many door-snatchers into the city in advance, he will definitely try to take advantage of the chaos! ”
