Chapter 45 What the hell?
"The vanguard of reinforcements in the court has arrived? Take me to see you quickly!" Zhuge Jin was also ecstatic when he heard the notice from County Guard Kong. He didn't even wear shoes and asked County Guard Kong to lead the way.
Although Zhuge Jin still had no official position, the county magistrate was ill in bed, and the county magistrate Kong was used to being ordered by the county magistrate's eldest son, just treat it as the county magistrate's order:
"Please here, but don't get me wrong. There is only one person coming, just to inform me."
"It doesn't matter. Being able to break through the siege means that the enemy's siege has already appeared weak, and the main force of the army should not be far away." The voice of a child behind Zhuge Jin came, and it was Zhuge Liang who was commenting casually.
Zhuge Jin has been very irritable these two days and has taught him a lesson impatiently: "A Liang! Don't mess around, you and your second sister look at your father, what are you involved in military affairs?"
Zhuge Liang sincerely begged: "Brother, things are urgent! I am a fool who is worried about it every time, and many people ask about military information, so I won't talk nonsense."
Zhuge Jin thought about it but still couldn't stop it.
He knew that although this younger brother was only nine years old, he had been smart since childhood and had read thousands of literacy. He could have done it by roughly reading the Four Books and Four Classics. Han Fei Zhuangzi also read a few articles. He just didn't read them well, but he was just a "coarse and rough view".
The reason for the Four Classics is that I can’t understand the Book of Changes in the Five Classics. After all, it’s just the third grade of elementary school in later generations. Who knows those divine things?
Other poems, books, rituals, and rituals are used as children's songs and historical story books.
"Then you are not allowed to be rude or talk nonsense!" Zhuge Jin took a last look, then put away his expression, pushed the door and walked into the living room.
A bearded officer wearing iron armor, seven feet and seven inches tall, was waiting in the lobby with great energy. It was Taishi Ci.
Zhuge Jin hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Liu Fujun, Guan Duwei and Taishi Junhou came to help. Zhuge Jin is the governor of Taishan County. I am sorry because I am now ill and unconscious in bed and cannot go out to greet me.
If you don’t think that Jin is young and knowledgeable, you can also tell me about military affairs. I have been assisting my father in counseling military aircraft for more than two months, so I can be considered an urgent matter.”
After Taishi Ci confirmed the other party's identity, he unbuttoned the heart protection mirror with his armor and took out a letter from the back of the heart protection mirror:
"It turned out to be Mr. Zhuge. Here is a secret letter from the chief of my army. I asked me to collect it in person and send it to the city. I was afraid that the morale in the city would be exhausted and I could not hold on anymore, so I asked you to hold on for a while.
My parents' history said that now Liu Fujun and Guan Duwei have personally led the army to advance west from Linqu. The vanguard cavalry will arrive in Fenggao tomorrow, and the brigade of infantry will arrive in up to five days. Your army will last for more than ten days, and the siege of Fenggao will be lifted."
The two brothers were overjoyed when they heard this. Zhuge Jin was still a little disbelief. He quickly took the letter and looked through it carefully to confirm that the seal of the Liaodong Chief Li Su and the guardian Wuhuan Captain above is authentic.
After confirming the authenticity, Zhuge Jin asked, "Liu Fujun and Guan Duwei are so capable? Wu Su was determined to seize Fenggao as the capital, and it was all based on Taishan County. Although his subordinates were in chaos, they were nominally 300,000 people and 100,000 young and strong.
Liu Fujun came from Liaodong, but I don’t know how he arrived. How many soldiers and horses were there? He could defeat the 100,000 Yellow Turbans? Before we were surrounded, there were rumors in the world that Liu Fujun was still besieging Zhang Chun in Xiangping, and he was able to achieve his full success."
Zhuge Liang, who was on the side, was not yet cunning, and could not help but show his mind: "Jun Liu's mansion can cross the uninhabited land in western Liaoning and destroy Zhang Chun, so he must have ships to transport grain. Since he came so fast, he must have crossed the sea from Liaodong to Qingzhou. If he traveled by land, he would probably not be able to arrive."
"A Liang! If you are rude, then..." Zhuge Jin stopped him.
It was Taishi Ci who dissuaded Zhuge Jin as a guest: "It doesn't matter. It seems that Ling is wise and knowledgeable. Our army is indeed coming across the sea."
Zhuge Jin frowned and worried: "The crossing of the sea was in a hurry. If there were not enough ships, I'm afraid the initial troops were insufficient. In fact, Liu Fujun doesn't need to hurry. We can still hold on for another twenty days or even a month. If the attack is promoted and the setbacks are encountered, it will be unbeautiful... But now the military marquis has worked hard to break into the siege and tell us, and it is not easy to teach the military marquis to go out to inform Liu Fujun to be relieved."
Taishi Ci smiled and said, "My parents knew that Zhuge Jung-Cheng was a cautious person, so they would definitely be worried that the reinforcements were insufficient and they could not relieve the siege. Unexpectedly, the young master also had the style of being a father, so cautious.
So Li Changshi asked me to tell the truth: Although there were less than 20,000 reinforcements, he had a good idea. There would be no difficulty in breaking the besieged enemy within ten days. Please be relieved! However, he also specifically said that the strategies he used involved the accumulated problems of the court, so he could not explain them in detail."
Zhuge Jin then carefully chose to believe and no longer talked: "Since that is the case, we believe in the plan of the Liu Mansion Lord Li Changshi, guard the city and wait for the time to clear up."
Then he asked Taishi Ci to give him a gift to rest with a meal.
As soon as Taishi Ci left, Zhuge Jin pulled his younger brother. He originally wanted to pull County Guard Kong to discuss the possible strategies Li Su could have taken, but after thinking about it, he still sent County Guard Kong away on the excuse.
Zhuge Jin looked around and lowered his voice to discuss with his younger brother: "I just wanted to ask County Commander Kong to discuss with him. What would be the strategy of "using the accumulated corruptions of the court" set by Changshi Li to break the thief. But after thinking about it, since it involves the accumulated corruptions of the court, let County Commander Kong know, it is not good to have too many people and talk a lot.
Don’t you like to guess people’s mind the most? This time, I finally gave you a chance. Let me think about it with Brother Wei, how can Li Changshi defeat the enemy?"
Under normal circumstances, Zhuge Jin would never talk about this with his little brat brother. Today he was forced to do nothing - his father was unconscious and County Magistrate Kong was inconvenient, so he could only find someone who kept talking to him in private.
Zhuge Liang was rarely trusted by his brother, and he was also a little excited: "The accumulated corruption of the court related to the suppression of thieves was nothing more than thinking about the unclear power and responsibility, acts beyond his authority, etc. However, we don't know why Liu Fujun, as an official from Liaodong, came to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion.
Is the envoy Liu of Youzhou appointed by the envoy? Or is it appointed by His Majesty? Could it be that he was preparing to fight with the Yellow Turban Army halfway, pretending to be ordered by his boss to retreat, pretend to be defeated and lure the enemy to pursue it? I really can't think of that. But this will not be able to defeat five times the enemy."
Zhuge Liang was only nine years old after all, and no matter how unsightly he was, he only thought of this superficial truth.
"That's nothing outstanding, it's almost the same as what I thought." Zhuge Jin nodded, feeling that his brother's knowledge was the same as his.
Forget it, since I can’t figure it out, I don’t think about it anymore. I believe Liu Bei and Li Su, please defend the city well.
...
In fact, the strategy of differentiating and dismantling the enemy that Li Su was about to take was not something that nine-year-old Zhuge Liang, who had not even mastered the overall information, could guess.
When the Zhuge brothers were thinking about it for a few minutes, Li Su himself had already asked Dian Wei Zhoutai to protect him, and led a thousand elite thunder cavalry as a personal guard. He detoured southward to the southwest of Fenggao County, located in the Juping and Pingyang area behind the enemy.
Zhao Yun wanted to supervise the rear army of Liu Bei's army, but he still has not landed on the sea, so he cannot be a bodyguard with Li Sulai this time. Tai Shi Ci was sent to break into the siege to report the news, so when Li Su was carrying out a diplomatic fraud mission this time, the guards around him were unprecedentedly weak.
Only Dian Wei Zhoutai is left.
Fortunately, the enemy he was going to meet was not very strong, at least the monk Liju was still several times weaker. Therefore, it was barely safe enough to lose one bodyguard from Zhao Yun.
In case the talk cannot be reached, the 1,000 Youzhou cavalrymen who are one man and two horses will be able to escape no matter how they want to run away.
Zang Ba, who was based on Juping, and Sun Guan and Sun Kang brothers who were based on Pingyang next door, quickly became nervous because they received news early in the morning that thousands of elite cavalry of the court entered their sphere of influence.
Zang Ba and Sun Guan had to send scouts to intercept and guard immediately.
"Who is the enemy or friend! But we have to fight with our General Zang!" As a scout of the "Taishan bandit", we are not very polite. The so-called politeness before the soldiers can only be so stiff.
Li Su immediately looked at him and asked Zhou Tai to come forward and answer: "We are soldiers under the Liaodong Chief Commander! Please come and answer with you General Zang! If you are afraid of our army's assault, you can choose the meeting place for yourself!"
The two sides had a good exchange and, after a long time, Zang Ba and Sun Guan finally agreed to meet at a suburb on the Wenshui River in the northeast of Juping County.
That place is a plain farmland area by the river, and no one can set up an ambush, and both parties to the negotiations are at ease.
Zang Ba also said that he would never bring many troops, and only had 3,000 guards with him.
In the evening, Li Su, who was wearing black iron armor and an inner mail shawl, and a cushioning soft helmet, finally came out to the formation and shouted in the posture of Dian Wei holding a halberd and Zhou Tai's shield, said: "Li Su, the captain of the Han Dynasty's Wuhuan, please answer General Zang!"
Zang Basun Guan also led a few elite guards to slightly protrude from the front of the formation. Both sides circled around the horse and showed that they did not attack with bows and arrows, so that they could get close to the distance where they could hear each other talking.
As for the army following behind, they must not hear these rebellious transaction details.
The posture is the same as the posture of "Han Sui during the chat in front of Cao Cao".
Li Su also made a clear head: "Zang Ba! I know that you and Sun Guan have not rebelled against the court so far, nor have they clearly attached themselves to the rebel Wusu, but have just separatist the land to defend themselves. In this case, when the imperial army arrives in Japan, Wusu will be no longer the leader. Why don't you abandon the secret and turn to the light as soon as possible?
If you are willing to kill Wusu with the king's army, you will be able to become the county magistrate and the commander of the county magistrate, it may not be difficult to be accused of time! As for now, it is easy to be appointed as a county magistrate with your powers!"
"Hahaha! Just by just a few words in front of the formation, we have to work hard for the court. This is how you, the surname Li, convinced Qiu Liju? Qiu Liju is really stupid!" Zang Ba couldn't help laughing and doubted the diplomatic victory of the Han Dynasty so far.
How can even a scammer with such a skilled scammers trick Hu Qiao into surrendering? Then Hu Qiao's IQ is really low!
Zang Ba even had the illusion of "I can go and lobby me."
But it is obvious that Li Su's killer move has not been expressed yet.
"Zang Ba! There is a question you probably haven't thought about, why did Liu Fujun come to Qingzhou to help? He is the prefect of Liaodong who was clearly granted by the court! He came to Qingzhou to fight you, but it was not forced by the court's laws!
Wusu and his direct descendants were the elites of the Wuhuan tribes in Youbeiping. Now the Wuhuan tribes in Shanggu and the Wuhuan tribes in Liaodong have been destroyed. Wuhuanqiu in western Liaoning has surrendered to the court, and only some of the remnants of Wuhuan who did not return to the king were left in Youbeiping. We had to come here!
Do you think Liu Fujun is willing to take the elite troops of Youzhou Army to fight you with people's lives? As long as Wu Su is awarded the title of head, he will be governed by the court, even if the governor of the state Liu Yu ordered him to cross the border to attack the thieves, Liu Fujun would no longer have the excuse to stay in Qingzhou, and he would not want to shed the blood of his own soldiers for the Qingzhou people! General Zang would not be confused about the importance of this, right?!"
These words shocked Zang Ba.
He didn't understand the laws and regulations of the court very well.
It turns out that as long as Wu Su dies, Liu Bei, the star of the Death Sect, has no reason to stay in Qingzhou again? Will the court force him to return to his defense zone and not be allowed to meddle in other people's business anymore?
If this is true... it seems that if we cooperate with the court and kill Wusu, we will not be ridiculed by our fellow practitioners.
It was not for him to take the position of the boss, but for the entire Qingzhou gangster, he was not for Liu Bei to be harmed by everyone!
"Dan... Li Su's tongue is really a ghost. I was just mocking him, 'I can do it,' now it's our turn... Damn, but I can't refuse!" Zang Ba struggled inside, feeling embarrassed.
Chapter completed!
