After the Zhuge brothers confirmed each other's identities, of course, they wanted to immediately talk about the twists and turns of the past two or three years, and then discuss the military aircraft in front of them.

It's a pity that the fleet is still floating on Peng Lize (Poyang Lake), and the northwest wind is fierce in winter, and Zhuge Jin doesn't dare to let people take the gangplank.

In the end, he motioned to the other party to sail downstream with him and docked near the east of the lake.

On Zhuge Liang's boat, Gan Ning originally took out a hook and a springboard with an iron cone.

Seeing that Zhuge Jin was so cautious, he had no choice but to put it back and shook his head secretly:

"Hmph, if this is a water war jumping gang, isn't it just a hook to pull the boat over, jump directly, and still use the shore?"

After another quarter of an hour's steady sailing, the fleet found a suitable anchorage.

Gan Ning was the first to jump ashore and helped set up the gangplank.

Then Zhuge Liang helped the two sisters get off the boat together, and Gan Ning grabbed Zhuge Jun directly ashore.

Anyway, the thirteen-year-old child is not heavy, so he picked it up.

On the other side, Zhuge Jin is obviously much more literate, he is wearing very solemnly today, or the set of brocade robe and jade belt that Liu Xie rewarded him, lest it be stained with mud, he walks very carefully, and it looks a little ridiculous.

Fortunately, as the eldest brother, he was waiting for his younger siblings to come to see him, so it didn't matter if he was slow.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly ran over and saluted: "Big brother! You've suffered all these years. ”

Zhuge Jin accepted his salute, but he was a little embarrassed, and quickly denied it:

"What's the trouble, in the past two years, I have been taken care of by my mother and uncle, but I can't help them.

In the end, I let my uncle set up his own door, Ah Liang, you won't blame your brother's decision, right? Although they took the initiative to do so. ”

Zhuge Jin has already written about these things in his family letter, and his younger brothers and sisters all know about it, but they still feel a little abrupt.

Hearing that the eldest brother felt guilty for making the decision alone, Zhuge Liang also hurriedly choked up and relieved:

"After all, our biological parents are ...... It's human nature that stepmothers don't want to bother them in the future. The dead are gone, and the living have a long way to go.

How can we blame the eldest brother for this, if it weren't for the eldest brother's hard work for this family and seeking meritorious service, we would not be able to reunite and save my uncle now. ”

Zhuge Jin originally wanted to ask Zhuge Liang about his life experience, but seeing that the place was muddy and unbearable to talk about for a long time, he stopped talking and forcibly returned the building to the military.

He glanced at the martial arts general next to his second brother who was tall and had a scumbag personality, and reminded: "Ah Liang, you haven't introduced it yet." You are not small, I let you get out of Liu Biao, you can still bring reinforcements? This is ......"

Zhuge Liang realized that he was rude, and hurriedly introduced:

"This is my new friend in Fancheng, Gan Ning Gan Xingba, a native of Ba County.

Liu Jingzhou's rewards and punishments are unknown, he is depressed there, and he is willing to come to Yuzhang to make meritorious contributions and kill thieves to serve the country. ”

When Zhuge Jin heard that it was Gan Ning, his eyes lit up, and he was also a surprise that he didn't expect at all.

The second brother has something, and he actually pulled Gan Ning here without saying a word?! There should be no intersection between their life trajectories.

For a moment, Zhuge Jin almost suspected, could it be that the second brother was also a traverser?

Fortunately, he recalled the family letters that his second brother exchanged with him, and ruled out this possibility.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly asked: "Gan...... Brother, I don't know what position I live in? To tell you the truth, I myself am only a mere lieutenant now, and I can't promise you a high position. If you don't dislike it, let's make meritorious contributions to the country together and try to seal our wives and sons. ”

Gan Ning arched his hand and said: "It's okay, in the lower place, he was originally in Liu Yan and Liu Biao, and he was only a county Cheng, Qu Junhou, and Jun Sima.

I always like to make friends with people who have clear grievances and fair rewards and punishments, and how good is the official position. ”

Zhuge Jin was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to explain a few words.

But after thinking about it, it must be that the second brother has said a lot of good things to fool Gan Ning along the way, causing the other party to think that he is some kind of "master".

In this case, I still hide my clumsiness and say a few words, so as not to be inconsistent with the preset propaganda of the second brother.

After the battle, I will go back and make a good confession.

At that moment, Zhuge Jin smiled heartily and bowed his hand to Gan Ning: "That is the case, I won't say more, Xingba is really frank and bold."

I will also introduce that this is Chen to Chen Shuzhi, under the command of General Zhengnan, who led 2,000 troops this time, and came with me to Yuzhang to reinforce my uncle. ”

After the main generals got to know each other, Zhuge Jin went straight to the point: "Our army arrived almost a day earlier than you, so we have already roughly inquired about the military situation of the surrounding thief army, and we have also connected with the sentry ship scouts sent by Yun Chang."

This place is the northwest of Pengze County, and more than ten miles to the south is the county seat. There were about one or two thousand thieves in the city—I also had a rough estimate.

Within a hundred miles of the perimeter, the only one that is heavily defended is the county of Chaisang, which you passed through at dawn today, located upstream, and has at least 5,000 defenders.

According to the military information conveyed by Yun Chang's scouts, the Zhengrong dog thieves still have as many as 50,000 or 60,000 people, including about 10,000 regular county soldiers who have fought in battles, and there are at least more than 10,000 people who believe in Buddha. The rest are ordinary people and rabble who are coerced.

The main forces of the enemy army were mainly stationed in three counties: Nanchang County, which controlled and choked Ganshui, Haihuang County, which controlled and repaired Shui, and Chaisang County, which was located at the mouth of the lake upstream of Peng Lize.

Nanchang was garrisoned by Zhenrong himself, with at least 20,000 people.

Haihuang County was originally not very important, but more than half a month ago, after Yun Chang led the first batch of reinforcements to Xi'an, he deployed defenses and counterattacked along Xiushui, and had already captured two small counties along the Xiushui coast. Zhenrong had to send heavy troops to guard against Yun Chang, which caused the garrison of Haiduan to increase several times.

The upstream and downstream of Peng Lize are Chaisang and Peng Ze. Zhenrong has always been wary of Jiangxia coming to the rescue, so he stationed heavy troops in Chaisang.

And the downstream Yangtze River flows out of Peng Lize's Pengze County, because it is connected to the territory of the thief Shuai Zulang in Jing County, and Zhenrong and Zulang seemed to be in harmony before, so they should not be wary.

We are now under-manned, and it is unlikely that we will be able to storm Chaisang. Therefore, before you come, I have planned to take Pengze County to rest. Then rest the soldiers, resume the expedition and make plans, second brother, Xingba, what do you think? ”

Zhuge Jin directly told him about the enemy situation that he had found out in advance because he arrived first, and said it very methodically.

Although Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning are newcomers, after being explained in such detail, they also have a somewhat intuitive understanding.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be curious: "Big brother, you only arrived one day earlier than us, how can you find out so much news?" Even if the scouts about the lieutenant help you. But your fleet cruised on this Peng Lize for a whole day, but it didn't attract the vigilance and interception of the Rong army? ”

Zhuge Jin smiled indifferently: "Have you forgotten, when you first met me, I hung the banner of Yuan Shujun."

The enemy situation around Peng Lize is complicated, with Huang Zu in the west, Zulang in the east, Zhenrong in the south, and Lujiang Liu Xun in the north.

When I was in Guangling, I found out that Liu Xun's naval army general was named Zhang Duo, who was originally just a nest of lake thieves, cowardly and unwilling to fight to the death, and when I helped Xuande Gong break through Guangling City, he fled with Liu Ye without a fight.

Now this Zhang Duo only dares to be stationed in Weixukou, Wankou and other places, and rarely comes to Peng Lize to patrol. I occasionally sailed on the north shore under the banner of Yuan Shu, and the garrison troops of Zhenrong did not dare to watch, lest they rub against Yuan Shu. ”

When Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning heard this important news, they couldn't help but nod.

Especially Zhuge Liang, although he has not yet fought in actual combat, he has been keenly aware that such a complex relationship between friend and foe is indeed suitable for sneak attacks and pressure.

Because when an unknown force suddenly appears in the surrounding area, you still have to weigh what the other side is coming from, whether it is friend or foe, and you can't overreact all at once.

After the brothers went around and thoroughly understood the situation, Zhuge Jin also planned to test his younger brother by the way, so he asked unceremoniously:

"Ah Liang, you said in your previous letter that in the past two years, in Mr. Shuijing and Pang De's office, you have also completed the study of "Sun Tzu" and "Wu Zi". Now that the surrounding enemies have been informed of you, you can tell me that this battle is for you to fight, how can you take Pengze County first to rest? ”

Zhuge Liang knew that the eldest brother must be confident, after all, the eldest brother had already won two victories for General Zhengnan in Guangling County, and this time he was just testing himself.

Zhuge Liang wanted to prove himself, so he thought about it seriously and suggested in a spirit: "The sum of the strength of the eldest brother and Xingba is more than 3,000 people, which is at least twice as much as the defenders of Pengze County.

The art of war is to attack five out of ten, and it is still a little difficult to attack, but the key to this battle is to attack the heart first.

Zhenrong was able to bewitch and coerce so many people, and it was also because he was too trustworthy and powerful by Zhao Yu, Xue Li, and Zhu Hao.

Including his defeat of his uncle last year, didn't he just borrow Zhu Hao's momentum? But this is no longer the case.

Uncle has been canonized by the imperial court, and Zhenrong has killed the lord three times, and the faith has been lost. ”

Zhuge Jin didn't express his opinions indiscriminately, just listened to the second brother quietly.

He has always been worried that Zhuge Liang debuted ten years earlier than in history, and whether he would lose his sharpness a little because he was not mature enough.

Even if before his debut this time, he tried his best to inspire him and trained him in an all-round immersion for three months, but after all, it was far less than ten years of self-study.

Now it seems that Zhuge Liang's basic art of war and vision have been established, but he still lacks actual combat experience.

Then I will give the second brother a chance, and then he himself will help him and "practice things" as soon as possible.

Ensure that after the end of the "Yuzhang Copy", Zhuge Liang can basically reach eighty or ninety percent of the strength in history when he came out of the mountain ten years later.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhuge Jin suggested: "In this case, why don't you try it with our army?" This will go to Pengze County, with great fanfare, in order to strengthen the army's prestige.

Then use the power to deter, convince people with reason, take out the edict of the Son of Heaven, and see if you can persuade you to surrender - Ah Liang, do you want to try it yourself, I will let Shu Zhi send a scolding hand and a shield hand to guard.

Rest assured, with Uncle Zhi, the enemy army will not dare to rush open the city gate and rush to kill. Hiding out of range of arrows is perfectly safe. ”

Zhuge Liang was also a little nervous, but more of an expectation.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll try it now. In this way, our army does not have to waste time and materials, and immediately attack the city and camp.

Wouldn't it be beautiful if I could succeed and the army would go directly into the city and garrison it? This place is muddy and not suitable for a long time, so I will go to the county office tonight and talk to my eldest brother about my experience in the past few years. ”
