Baidi Chunshen

, let's talk with Chengming inside! "

Sun Quan led Zhuge Jin and Pan Jun into the study in the side hall.Zhuge Jin couldn't help looking at Pan Jun.The other party obviously knew that Ma Liang was able to enter Wuling smoothly because he stole Zhuge Jin's seal.But there was no sign of blame or contempt on his face.After all, he himself is a general from Jingzhou, and he used to be Liu Bei's ruler in the past.Later, he helped guard Jingzhou under Guan Yu.After Lu Meng captured Jingzhou, all the generals and officials surrendered to him out of desperation, and Pan Jun only claimed that he was sick at home.Sun Quan came in person, and Pan Jun wept bitterly on the mat.Sun Quan persuaded and comforted him with kind words, and asked close friends to wipe away his tears. Pan Jun then went down to the ground to thank him.Sun Quan immediately appointed him as the governor, and all Jingzhou military personnel should consult him first.

Zhuge Jin thought about it, people like Pan Jun, who were originally Liu Bei's subordinates, surrendered out of helplessness, and are willing to be loyal and serve the highest, which is naturally a blessing for the country.But many years of salary was in vain, and now, once he surrenders to the enemy, he will offer all Jingzhou's military situation with both hands... Before weeping bitterly and refusing to serve the second master, who did he do it for?

When Guan Yu was defeated and Jingzhou was established at the beginning, Fan Ni, who was engaged in the Wuling Department, once induced the barbarians to think that Wuling belonged to Liu Bei.Someone advised Sun Quan that he should send [-] troops to fight against him.Sun Quan immediately asked Pan Jun for his opinion, but Pan Jun said that Fan Ni could not accomplish anything, and that it would be enough to send five thousand troops to quell the situation.Later it was true.

Now Ma Liang is planning to rebel against Wuling in one fell swoop, shaking Lingling and the two counties of Guiyang.Sun Quan asked Pan Jun again.Zhuge Jin listened silently.

Just listen to Pan Jun said: "If Ma Jichang... chooses a good general to lead ten thousand people, it can only prevent Ma Liang's soldiers from invading Changsha. If you want to punish Ma Liang and the barbarians in Wuxi at this time, you must surround him with 3 people."

"Where are there [-] soldiers and horses at this time alone!" Sun Quan angrily said: "What a Ma Jichang! When he came, Ziyu should let him stay! If he refuses to stay, he should have killed him..."

Pan Jun and Zhuge Jin looked at each other.Zhuge Jin immediately stood up and bowed: "I implore the Supreme to allow Jin to lead all the relatives to beg Ma Liang!"

"Ziyu, don't mess around." Sun Quan said: "You can't go anymore. Gu has decided to send Zishan to lead ten thousand people to Yiyang to stop Ma Liang's troops from invading Changsha. Gu can't spare [-] troops to pacify Jingzhou now. Bo Yan Will not agree."

"..." Zhuge Jin looked down for a long time, then suddenly knelt on the ground: "Jin's crime is unforgivable. But now, Jin just wants to kill Ma Liang first, and then come back to lead his death in front of the Supreme, so there is no regret."

Sun Quan felt distressed when he heard this, and helped him up: "Gu won't let you go because of Ma Liang's deceit. ..."

Zhuge Jin said coldly: "Jin's death can disturb Zhuge Liang's heart, and the Shu army's morale will definitely be shaken..."

"Don't be emotional!" Sun Quan held Zhuge Jin's hand tightly: "You go back to Nanjun now!"

Zhuge Jin nodded silently, but when he left King Wu City, he still led only a dozen entourages and galloped towards Wuling.

On the way to Jingzhou, it should have been blocked everywhere.But no matter the Han army or the barbarian soldiers, they all laughed and let them go when they heard Zhuge Jin's name.He knew that it was because he was Prime Minister Zhuge's elder brother.The Han army didn't want, didn't dare, and didn't want to arrest him.

Heh... Ah Liang!What a poisonous plan to destroy Guo through false means!Today I am so guilty that I cannot take revenge, nor can I seek death.In the state of Wu, there is no place to be ashamed.You let your brother have no place to stand!

When he arrived at the foot of Wuling City, he reined in his horse and swung his whip, causing dust to rise everywhere.The north wind is bitter below the city.There have been Sentinels and Ma Liang.Seeing that Ma Liang had already changed back to the red and gorgeous official uniform of the big man's servant, wearing a sable crown, he looked even more elegant. Seeing Zhuge Jin coming, he bowed deeply on the tower: "Brother, don't come here without any harm."

Zhuge Jin looked up at Ma Liang on the top of the city wall: "My seal was stolen in the middle of the night, and Ji Chang did not expect to do the same thing."

Ma Liang was not angry, instead he smiled and said, "Liang thought that stealing this seal is no more vicious than crossing the river in white clothes. Speaking of stealing chickens and dogs, Liang is actually not as good as Lu Boyan. The general is flattered."

Zhuge Jin was speechless for a moment.Ma Liang said again: "I stole the general's seal, and the general was annoyed. The general attacked me from Lumeng in Jingzhou, so what?"

"..." Zhuge Jin was silent.If speaking of eloquence, Zhuge Jin should not be inferior to Ma Liang.Yet he was good-natured and never aggressive.In addition, it was Ma Liang who was facing him, and he was so sad that he couldn't speak out.

Seeing that he was silent, Ma Liang lowered his tone: "A few days ago when the general was sent to our Han camp, your majesty didn't remember the general's revenge from attacking the general, but instead thought about the general as the prime minister and Liang's brother, and sincerely asked the general to come back. The sincerity of his feelings is the importance of the general, and everyone can see it. If the general comes to Han, he will live up to the name of loyalty, and he will be reunited with the prime minister and his good brothers. Why is the general so obsessed with the country of robbers and robbers? The matter? The general is so subservient to Sun Quan, that he is not worthy of being an elder brother."

As soon as Ma Liang said this, all the Han troops in the city nodded secretly.In addition, these words are also extremely powerful.To bluntly say that Liu Bei treated Zhuge Jin kindly will only make people in Jiangdong more suspicious of Zhuge Jin.Ma Liang knew that Zhuge Jin would not be able to surrender to the Han, and his words were only to boost the morale of the Han army and shake the enemy's morale.

But seeing Zhuge Jin flicking his sleeves, he said in a loud voice: "Since ancient times, soldiers have never tire of deceit. I am loyal to the King of Wu, and I have no ambiguity. There is no need for horse servants to say too much. Tomorrow... see you on the battlefield." After saying that, he turned his horse's head and wanted to go.Ma Liang smiled and said, "Wait a minute, brother."

"What's the matter?" Zhuge Jin responded, reining in the reins, but didn't look back.

"Brother once said that the sound of Liang's piano has the charm of Sima. In the future, when my brother's lonely city is besieged and besieged on all sides, if he hears that Liang is playing the piano under the city, come down to the city and follow me!"

Zhuge Jin remained silent.All the Wu people were indignant and stared at Ma Liang.The soldiers of the Han army burst into laughter early.Zhuge Jin sighed slightly: "Ah Liang, do you think brother just came here to ask for a crime?"

Ma Liang looked at him with a smile.

Zhuge Jin was silent for a moment, and said decisively: "Ma Shizhong, from now on, you and I are no longer brothers. When we meet on the battlefield in the future, I will take your head to atone for Zigui's failure to investigate, and to repay the Supreme Being's kindness of irresponsibility. "

Ma Liang was also silent for a moment, then sighed, "Why is brother so heartless?"

Zhuge Jin stopped answering, waved his horsewhip, and left in the dust.

***

The moon star is thin, and the black dragonfly flies south.

In the tent of the emperor of the Han camp, Liu Bei and Liu Ba finished discussing the battle plan, walked out of the tent, and faced Chen Dao, who was in full bloom in silver armor and white armor, Liu Bei smiled and said, "Uncle Zhi, I want to go to Gongheng's place." .He hasn't gone to bed yet?"

"The minister just passed by on patrol, and General Huang's tent is still lit."

Liu Bei took the reins from his attendants, got on his horse and headed for Huang Quan's camp.When you get to Huang Quan's account, you don't let the halberd bearer inform you, and you go in directly.On the contrary, Huang Quan, who was in charge of the case before the case, was taken aback and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Why, are you still busy with camp affairs so late?" Liu Bei said with a smile, "Go wash up first, and we'll talk after lying down."

Huang Quan nodded with a smile. As early as when he was planning the battle of Hanzhong, the two monarchs and ministers had talked together in this way.It's just that Liu Bei followed his plan at that time, but now he opposed the Eastern Expedition from the beginning.And I don't know what Liu Bei wants to talk to him at this moment?

After the two monarchs and ministers lay down on the couch, Liu Bei said bluntly: "Gongheng, our army has been stalemate with Lu Xun for a month, and there is still no news from Ji Chang. But I can't stop here. Zichu proposed to climb In the danger of Jingmen, surprise troops were dispatched to encircle the barbarians. However, one person must lead the army to Jiangbei to contain Lu Xun. In my opinion, only Gongheng can handle this task."

"There is Lu Xun in the east, and Cao Pi in the north." Huang Quan said with a smile, "Your Majesty wants to roast my subjects on a charcoal fire?"

"What? Don't dare to go?" Liu Bei laughed.

"No... just feeling uneasy." Huang Quan sighed: "I still say the same thing: Wu people fought fiercely, and the water and army flowed downstream. It is easy to advance and difficult to retreat. Please be the pioneer to taste the invaders, and your majesty should be the back town."

"Being invincible first, and then waiting for the enemy to win." Liu Bei said with a smile: "According to Gongheng's plan, our army will not be in danger of being defeated. Then the main force will be rejected. In short, there will be insufficient troops, and it will be difficult to achieve great achievements. Our army will be trapped at the mouth of the gorge, helpless."

"That's better than the method of battalion!" Huang Quan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the danger of climbing Jingmen is that the country and the mountain are pressing against each other. In order to prevent the Wu people from cutting off our army's retreat, your majesty has to join the battalion to protect the retreat. Company The difficulty of camping is to deploy defenses everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will give the enemy the opportunity to attack with fire."

"Zi Chu studied the formation of company battalions intensively, and our army has also taught them for a long time, so there should be no such negligence."

"..."

"how?"

"Your Majesty has an order, and I must go." Huang Quan said in a low voice.

"Gongheng, this is not my idea alone." Liu Bei lay down, looking up at the roof of the tent: "It was planned by me and Zichu."

"This method is very dangerous." Huang Quan shook his head.

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch tiger cubs." Liu Bei said with a smile, "Gongheng is too cautious."

Huang Quan was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Your Majesty's words are true." He pondered for a while, and then said softly: "Quan should be a minister who is reluctant to part with His Majesty. If His Majesty really has no one to send, then send ministers. The minister will die Don't dare to say goodbye."

"Why do you look like Ji Chang?" Liu Bei laughed: "Before he went to Wuling, although he didn't say it clearly, his eyes were full of reluctance. It made my heart ache."

Huang Quan smiled slightly: "I must go. I will live up to your majesty's trust."

"... Gongheng, I have a plan. I can keep you from going." Liu Bei was silent for a moment, then suddenly said.

"What a good idea." Huang Quan turned over and said with a smile.

"The fire burns beyond the horizon." Liu Bei said with a smile, "This is the proudest work of my life."

Huang Quan nodded: "Lu Xun may not be able to see it. But it's hard to say if his subordinates can't help it. Your Majesty can try it."

"Go to sleep, Gongheng." Liu Bei said with a smile, "I'll see you tomorrow."
