There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Xuan snorted, very upset.

But since Sun Ce made the apology, he couldn't hold on to it, he just returned the gift to Sun Ce in accordance with the law.

Sun Ce waved and suddenly shouted, "Deng Dang!"

Among Sun Ce's generals, a burly man stepped forward, cupped his hands at Sun Ce and said, "Here!"

Sun Ce pointed to Zhuge Jin who was behind Zhuge Xuan, and said, "Now go to Nanchang City with Mr. Ziyu, check the arsenal, money storehouse, and granary in the city, check the number of registers, and seal them up after counting the number. Do not enter without permission, when Yuan Gong arrives in Nanchang to inquire, if there is a slight difference, you will be the only one to ask!"

Deng Dang didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly said: "No!"

Zhou Yu stood by Sun Ce's side without saying a word, but suddenly said to Deng Dang, "Deng Sima, when checking the treasuries in Nanchang, you must take your brother-in-law with you, and let him learn from you."

Deng Dang was stunned when he heard this.

His brother-in-law is fifteen years old, and he just came to join him in his hometown some time ago, how could Zhou Yu even know about this?

"Jun Zhou said... was it Lu Meng?"

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "What? You even forgot your brother-in-law's name?"

Deng Dang hurriedly leaned forward, and said: "No! It's just that I never imagined that a 15-year-old baby could be valued by Zhou Jun. This is really, really..."

Zhou Yu waved his hand, interrupted him and said, "Go, I have met your brother-in-law twice, he is a talented man, lead him to practice, and then send him to me, Yu will supervise you for you .”

Deng Dang retreated after hearing the words "Nuo, Nuo", but there was a big murmur in his heart.

In Deng Dang's eyes, that boy Lu Meng was just a wild boy, he might be quite strong physically, after training in the army in the future, he might climb up to be a good captain, but that's probably the most.

There are countless people like this in Sun Ce's army. Why did Zhou Yu just fall in love with him alone?

Deng Dang led Zhuge Jin to take inventory of the treasury, while Zhuge Xuan bowed to Sun Ce and said, "Before I leave Yuzhang, I want to meet Yuan Gong and thank Yuan Gong for his recommendation. Can the general approve?"

Sun Ce smiled slightly, and said: "What Zhuge Gong said is that when Yuan Gong arrives in Nanchang, you will always have the opportunity to meet Yuan Gong. Why rush it? As for the matter of leaving Yuzhang County, at least you have to wait until you defeat Tao Bandit. .”

Zhuge Xuan trembled when he heard the words.

What does Sun Ce mean by this?Could it be that he wants to detain the old man here as a hostage!

This kid is extremely rude!

Chapter 386 Zhuge Liang's Vision

The envoy group composed of Yan Baihu and Lu Dai disguised themselves as merchants and set off towards the hinterland of Yuzhang County.

Along with them, there is another unexpected character... Tao Ying.

This time, the Tao merchant did not intend to take him with him during the southern expedition, but when the soldiers and horses marched halfway, Tao Ying hurriedly led his men to catch up with him.

Tao Ying's reason is simple: Brothers are of one heart, and their strength cuts gold.

The eldest brother has something to do, so the younger brother has to rush forward no matter what.

Tao Shang was very moved by his younger brother's own kindness. In order to show his sincerity to Tao Ying, he also told Tao Ying the second half of this sentence.

The brothers fought against the wall, and the family was destroyed.

Tao Ying actually has nothing important to do in the army, he is now a pottery merchant's servant in name, and he has nothing to say about military affairs.

To be honest, even if he was asked to talk, he wouldn't be able to say much.

To put it bluntly, he is inferior to Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi who just joined the army—he simply lived in the army.

But Tao Ying is a self-motivated...stupid boy, he doesn't want to accept the reality that he is nothing but a living.

Ever since, when Yan Baihu and Lu Dai were about to go to the hinterland of Jiangdong, Tao Ying actually clamored to go with them, saying that he wanted to contribute his modest strength to the eldest brother and Xuzhou.

The pottery merchant couldn't hold him back, and thinking about it carefully, this trip was nothing serious, so he simply asked Tao Ying to follow him to learn.

Unexpectedly, after this trip, the second child of the Tao family has stepped into the pinnacle of life since then.

Not long after Tao Ying and others were sent away to Baiyue in secret, the academics of Nanchang County brought back information, saying that after Sun Ce occupied Nanchang, he took over various strategic passes in Nanchang, and then took Zhuge Xuan's family At the same time, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses also marched to the territory of Yuzhang County.

After Zhuge Liang heard the news, he was quite anxious.

His parents died early when he was young, and he grew up under the care of his uncle and elder brother. Now that the whole family is ruled by Yuan Shu, the young Zhuge Liang's will is still relatively weak, and he almost passed out after hearing this.

Fortunately, under the comfort of everyone and the guarantee of the potter, Zhuge Liang's mood gradually became stable, but he was still thinking about this matter in his heart.

In fact, when Yuan Shu raised his troops, the potters also thought about attacking Shouchun City, but Yuan Shu was not an idler. He left [-] infantry troops in Shouchun City to defend the territory, and he also left several trusted generals to guard against him. The deployment of defense has consolidated Huainan quite solidly.

The potters feared that after going to Shouchun, they would not be able to conquer for a while, and then Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Lu Bu and others would steal the way, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

From this point of view, the right way must be to defeat Yuan Laoer on the frontal battlefield in Yuzhang County.

After Yuan Shu arrived in Nanchang City, he heard that the Jinling Army of the pottery merchants was at the border of Yuzhang, and was eyeing Nanchang City. In order to be strong, he went north to attack the potters.

The [-] Jinling soldiers of the pottery merchants moved southward by land and water this time, and they were currently at the border of Yuzhang County and Danyang County. After the academician reported Lu Bu and Sun Ce's eastward direction, he immediately consulted with Zhu Wenwu.

Among all the civil and martial arts, Guo Jia and Tai Shici were in Pengcheng, and Chen Deng had the highest right to speak at the moment, and he was the first to speak first.

Chen Deng said to Tao Shang: "According to the strategy drawn up before our army raised troops, if we want to force Yuan Shu to force Yuan Shu to conquer Yuzhang County, the most important thing at the moment is to let Yuan Shu know that if we want to expel our army from Yuzhang County , is definitely not an overnight achievement! In this case, our army must choose a dangerous place to stick to, and let Sun Ce and Lu Bu return without success, which is the right way!"

The pottery merchant looked at him and said with a smile: "Then according to Yuan Long's intention, where should we place the soldiers and horses?"

Chen Deng pointed to the huge leather map erected in the tent, and said, "I want to borrow the map from the Grand Tutor."

The potter waved his hand: "Do whatever you want."

Chen Deng walked to the map, pointed to the location of Changnan County, and said to the pottery merchant: "Among the counties in the north of Nanchang, Changnan County has the strongest city defense, and its land belongs to the hilly land. It is located in Huaiyu Mountain. The transitional place between Yumai and Fanyang Lake, the slope of the city is conducive to defending against the south, and you don't have to worry about the future. It can be attacked and defended. It is the best place for Chen Bing to defend in Yuzhang County. The land, we can defend here to resist Lu and Sun."

The Changnan County mentioned by Chen Deng refers to Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province in later generations.

The pottery merchant looked at the map quietly without speaking.

Although the place recommended by Chen Deng was the strongest city in the northern part of Yuzhang County, it did not fully meet the wishes of the potters.

There is a plain next to Changnan County, which is not conducive to fighting with Bingzhou wolf cavalry. What the pottery merchant wants is not only to stick to it, but also to defeat Lu Bu and Sun Ce to strengthen the army.

But this matter is indeed somewhat difficult, and regardless of the fact that the soldiers under the command of the Bingzhou Army and the Sun Family Army are extremely good at fighting, the two leaders, Lu Bu and Sun Ce, are both brave generals with undue courage. The combination of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei is still difficult.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang stood up, bowed to the potter and said, "Teacher, my disciple has a different opinion from Mr. Yuanlong."

Chen Deng was still complacent just now, but now he was stunned when he heard this.

The little yellow-haired calf has not yet grown all his teeth, so he dares to come out and challenge me?

Don't you want to hang out?
