The step trainer obediently followed Zhuge Jin back to his new home.

The decency of Zhuge Jin's mansion made the foot trainer who had lived a hard life for several years feel surprised, but also had to be careful, lest he break things.

This is only the second time Zhuge Jin has met with the foot trainer, and for the step trainer, it is only the third time (the first time the step trainer is hiding behind the curtain of the step trainer's house, peeping in one direction)

Fortunately, the little girl is still very ignorant, and she doesn't know anything about men and women, but she just thinks that Brother Zhuge is willing to take her away and go home to be a younger sister to raise, and she should also do some housework.

"In the future, this will be your new home, I am going out soon, how are you in the water, will you be dizzy when you take a boat to walk the river?" As soon as Zhuge Jin got home, he first asked some very pragmatic and insipid questions.

The step trainer was a little nervous at first, he was shy and didn't dare to say anything along the way, and he also fantasized about various possibilities.

Seeing that Brother Zhuge was so careful, she quickly calmed down:

"I can swim, I don't dare in the river, but it's okay to swim through the canal. When I was a child, I used to sit on small boats in the canal, and my family had some industries in Huaiyin and Guangling.

It's a pity that my father died at the beginning of the year before last, and then the dog thieves ransacked the whole county, and we lost most of our family property, so we lived in Guangling and didn't move the nest, and we haven't taken a boat out for two years. ”

When Zhuge Jin heard her mention "her father's death", she was still a little uneasy, and suddenly thought that she had destroyed the filial piety of the Bu family?

Later, after careful calculation, this year is the end of the year, and the three-year filial piety of the Han Dynasty is actually twenty-seven months, and the matter at the beginning of the previous year has now expired for half a year.

It's no wonder that the Bu family has recently been willing to push the Xu family out and let them remarry Chen Zhi.

It is estimated that in the past two years, Uncle Bu has taken over the support of the Xu family, and it is also for the sake of the family's face, and it must be full. After the expiration of the period, they are reluctant to subsidize the extinction. Now it's just right to give away as a favor.

Thinking about it this way, Zhuge Jin's heart is also more down-to-earth, and it seems that he has done a good deed.

In history, the foot trainer had a worse life than now, because of the war in Guangling, she was almost a prisoner when she fled to Wu County.

Now in this life, Zhuge Jin solved the war in Guangling and let Liu Bei quickly get the basic plate.

It also avoided the tragedy of Guangling's "great hunger and cannibalism" due to the tug-of-war - maybe many of the other relatives of the Bu family and the Wei family have died in the original history?

After all, after Liu Bei fought this battle in history, his remnants of the soldiers were all to the extent of boiling the corpses of his dead comrades, and the soldiers were still starving like this, what would happen to the local ordinary people?

A speck of dust in troubled times, falling on the heads of the people, is unbearable.

……

There was nothing to say that night.

When she got up the next day, Zhuge Jin didn't let the trainer do housework immediately, and she could continue to live the days when she got up and had a servant cook porridge.

Zhuge Jin looked at the little girl, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

From now on, I will live in my home again, and I hope that my life can be organized again.

Since allowing his uncle and stepmother to set up their own doors, there is not even a housekeeper at home, and Zhuge Jin was quite uncomfortable for a while.

Although there are servants to do the specific household chores, he is not used to directing the servants directly.

He took advantage of the other party's porridge and explained a few words: "We will leave in a few days, you will be at home by yourself for the next few days, recuperate your body, don't be able to bear it when you are on the road." ”

The step trainer obediently put down the porridge bowl and stared at him with big eyes: "Brother Zhuge do you still have something to do?" It's almost time to go out, so you can rest more. ”

Zhuge Jin touched her hair: "Originally, I could rest, but I can't rest with you." I originally promised Xuande Gong one thing, saying that I would help him figure out a way to make the Mi family's sand boat sail more stable and not easy to be bumped by the wind and waves.

I originally thought that my second brother was more ingenious than me, and after I went to Yuzhang to meet my second brother, I asked him to come up with more ideas and brainstorm ideas. Now that I want to take you, I have to throw bricks and lead the jade myself. If we don't have enough time, let's just change our own boat, and try to make that boat a little more stable when we set off. ”

The step trainer was immediately moved: "Brother Zhuge are you afraid that I will not be able to stand the bumps when I am young, so you are worried about this heart?" I'm not afraid of bumps. ”

Zhuge Jin: "It's okay, sooner or later, I have to do it, I don't like to procrastinate." ”

The foot trainer's eyes were slightly moist, and he pulled his sleeve and asked, "Then what is the purpose of going to Yuzhang this time?" And bring so many soldiers and horses. ”

Zhuge Jin smiled indifferently: "Isn't it a coincidence, Zhenrong's dog thief, after the scourge of Guangling, ran to Yuzhang again, and almost forced my uncle to a desperate situation." Now I borrowed the soldiers and horses from Xuande Gong, of course, to get his dog's head! ”

The step trainer was greatly excited: "So powerful? I remember that the dog thief was so pompous and bewitched a lot of people. If you can really kill it, it will be regarded as revenge for everyone. ”

Zhuge Jin appeased the step trainer and didn't pay much attention to her.

In the days that followed, he was mainly busy refining the boat that was about to be used.

Because the time was too hurried and he couldn't get too much work, Zhuge Jin just told the Mi family to urgently allocate a few boatwrights to him.

Then on the sides of the hull, below the waterline, two long, but not thick, sturdy planks were nailed,

The front and rear ends are also sharpened as much as possible to reduce frontal resistance and mimic the stable fin structure of later ships.

The stabilizing fin does not bring much sailing resistance, and has little effect on speed, but the additional roll resistance brought by it is very large, which can greatly suppress the roll - this is not unfamiliar to players who have played with assembling model airplanes and seen the bottom of the hull in later generations.

After all this was done, it was already the sixth day of December. It was three or four days later than the originally expected departure time, mainly because a series of small troubles such as foot trainers delayed the time, but it was not a big problem.

Zhuge Jin calculated, he could still rush to Poyang Lake before his younger brother.

Early this morning, Guangling Wenwu, under the leadership of Liu Bei, personally came to the wharf by the Yangtze River to see off Zhuge Jin.

He brought a total of 2,000 Danyang soldiers, as well as Chen Zhi's 300 elite cavalry guards, and set sail on dozens of warships.

The largest is only a streamlined fast fighting ship carrying 300 people, and the rest are small ships carrying between 50 and 100 people.

At most, they carried a few light sentry ships for communication and heralds, but they were all placed on the deck of the fighting ship, or tied to the stern of a large ship and towed, and did not sail on their own.

Liu Bei took Zhuge Jin's hand and repeatedly told him to be careful, toast three rounds, and then set off.

Liu Bei stood on the dock, watching the fleet finally disappear on the river level upstream, and his heart was very melancholy.

The feeling of being in the chest that I had been used to for three or four months was suddenly gone.

made Liu Bei feel weak no matter what he did for a while, and always felt that he would make a mistake if he didn't listen to Ziyu's opinion.

If Liu Bei was a traverser and had medical knowledge in later generations, then he would definitely know that this symptom is called obsessive-compulsive disorder - but unfortunately he is not a traverser, so he cannot self-diagnose.

Liu Bei is now like a person who has to go home and re-twist the doorknob every time he goes out to confirm that he is locked.

Liu Bei was accompanied by two people, one was Mi Zhu,

The other is Chen Deng, who has just made an excuse to come from Lu Bu in the past few days to "maintain friendly relations".

Chen Deng has not dared to openly vote for Liu Bei so far. Because he found that the situation on Lu Bu's side was still more complicated, if he left now, Lu Bu might wake up immediately and turn against Liu Bei.

So Chen Deng decided to go undercover with Lu Bu for another half a year and continue to destroy the relationship between Lu Bu and Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.

He was afraid that Liu Bei would not trust him, so this time he knew that Zhuge Jin was leaving, so he found an excuse to come over to meet and show his loyalty by the way.

Of course, Liu Bei did not show any distrust from beginning to end, only said, "Yuanlong has always seen things clearly, and you can go undercover for as long as you think you should go undercover, it has its own reasons."

This made Chen Deng more and more moved, and he was eager to find time to help Liu Bei come up with some ideas and repay the kindness of his acquaintance.

At this moment, Mi Zhu Chen Deng saw Liu Bei stunned and the six gods had no owner.

Mi Zhu is not good at strategy, so he had to repeat the old words to comfort Liu Bei, but it is nothing more than trying to find a way to marry.

Liu Bei was a little irritable, and signaled Mi Zhu not to say it repeatedly, he understood.

Seeing this, Chen Deng reminded on the other side:

"Why should Xuande worry about the sky? I look at the Zhuge family, although I never serve the Lord, but I attach importance to the Han family. Xu Du was invited to see him before, and His Majesty had an appointment, didn't he accept them all?

In this case, the public only needs to devote himself to meritorious service and recapture more Yangzhou counties that have been occupied by traitors, and the imperial court will naturally reward them for their meritorious deeds.

Once Liu Miao can be replaced as the pastor of Yangzhou, Yuzhang Taishou will naturally be a subordinate of the public at that time, so why should he contribute privately?

As long as His Majesty is not held hostage by national thieves for a day, Gong and Ziyu will serve His Majesty together for one day. Once His Majesty is held hostage by the national thieves, Ziyu will listen to the public dispatch and work together to support the Han family and drive out the national thieves. ”

Liu Bei was still suffering from gains and losses, but he was drunk by Chen Deng's words, and suddenly felt that his obsessive-compulsive disorder had been cured.

"That's right! How did I not think of that? I need to devote myself to supporting the Han family and driving out the national thieves, so I am naturally like-minded with Ziyu.

If I work hard for the country, but the court does not appoint me as a Yangzhou pastor, it must be caused by Cao Cao's coercion of the monarch and the blocking of words - Meng De should not be like this. ”

Liu Bei rubbed his hands excitedly, patted Chen Deng's back, pulled Mi Zhu's shoulder with his other hand, and whispered to his face:

"Zizhong, you are diligent and careful. But if you want to be far-sighted, you still have to learn from Yuanlong! ”

Mi Zhu is also convinced: "I am not good at planning grand plans in the next book." ”

"That's it, don't talk about it, you all have your own strengths, for Yuanlong's words today, you should be a big deal."

Liu Bei laughed and pulled people back to drink wine one by one.

……

After Zhuge Jin set off from Guangling, he went upstream, did not hesitate to use manpower and oars, and sailed through Dangtu in just three days.

When Tu was between Wuhu and Ma'anshan in later generations, it was also the uppermost Yangtze River port mastered by Sun Ce.

Passing through this section of the river safely, the subsequent warlords such as Xu Qian and Zulang along the river will be much less threatening.

The remaining 700 miles or so can be driven slowly.

At the same time, Tang Guang, the messenger sent by Zhuge Jin, finally rushed to Xiangyang again.

sent the latest round of family letters to Zhuge Liang.

Because he had already seen the messenger twice, Zhuge Liang was familiar with the road and did not be polite to the other party again.

I opened the box directly in person, took out all the things given by my eldest brother and looked through them, piled them up everywhere, and then began to read the family letters for a long time.

And Zhuge Jun watched from the sidelines, and when the second brother finally opened the box and began to read the letter, he said that the king climbed to the pile of gifts of the eldest brother, taking the same thing in the east and the same in the west, and played with it curiously.

What's so good about letters? It is enough to have the second brother read the letter, he only needs the novelty gift of the eldest brother.

And Zhuge Liang was on the side, and after only reading a few words, he was shocked:

"What? Uncle was finally awarded the post of Yuzhang by the imperial court? My Zhuge family finally has a righteous name! Uncle's hard life should come to an end! ”

"The eldest brother is already a young craftsman who will be a prisoner, and he has also hung two thousand stones? Serve the imperial court to crusade against Yuzhang thieves? And borrowed 4,000 elite soldiers from General Zhengnan? Do you want me to find an excuse to get out and go with him to work for my uncle as soon as possible? ”
