The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 11 The Love of Meishan
Meishan friendship
It's just spring, and the mountain is unavoidably a bit desolate, and the green shoots are preparing to receive the first ray of sunshine.

"My lord, do you think we can find them?" After walking on the mountain road for more than three hours, I still haven't seen any cottage.

"I don't know! It depends on fate, as long as we are willing to find them," Zhuge Qiao replied casually

When the sun was shining vertically, Zhuge Qiao knew it was already noon, and if he couldn’t find them, he would have to spend the night here; suddenly a faint village appeared in his sight, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. I thought it must have been built by them, so I walked over quickly, only to find that there was no one in it. It seemed that they had built this place to confuse the officers and soldiers.Later, I found out that there were several seats but no one was there, and I was already retreating in my heart.

Continue walking for a while, intending to search for the last stockade, and go down the mountain if nothing is found; suddenly, two people fell from the tree in front, and several people came out of the dry grass next to it; now there are almost ten people on the other side. Zhuge Qiao and the two surrounded him, "What do you want to do, the little boy is sneaking around?"

"They must be the spies of the officers and soldiers." The few people who just appeared were discussing each other sentence by sentence.
"Everyone, I'm here, Zhuge Qiaote came to pay a visit. It's just that I didn't find you guys just now." Zhuge Qiao said, clasping his fists.

"Old Zhang, you see people call you a hero, so don't scare him." The man with the scar on his face said with a smile

"What did you come to us for, none of us invited you?" asked a man with a scar on his face
"I want to meet your leader, and please lead the way."

"This is really not okay, we have rules here"

Zhuge Qiao inquired about their expressions, and knew that it was time for their leader to use ordinary methods, and it seemed that they could only use special methods, so he gave Qin Shan a look.

Qin Shan suddenly bent down and jumped up. Before they could react, the dagger in Qin Shan's hand was already on the neck of the scarred man. "Even if you kill me, I won't betray the leader." Scar The man has no trace of timidity.

This sentence deeply impressed Zhuge Qiao, "Lan Tian", Qin Shan also knew what Zhuge Qiao was thinking in his heart, and let the scarred man go without any hesitation.

"My lord, we can only have a chance to meet him if we explain our identities. Otherwise, it's impossible for these people to come to me." Qin Shan came over and whispered to Zhuge Qiao.

Zhuge Qiao thought for a while, "I have offended you just now, to tell the truth, I am the son of Zhuge Liang, the military advisor under Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, and I am here to recruit you," Zhuge Qiao said calmly.

"Then how many people did you bring?" the man with the scar immediately asked when he heard that they were indeed spies from officers and soldiers.

"There are less than a hundred people and they are all at the foot of the mountain. In order to show sincerity, only the two of us go up the mountain. Please also meet your leader."

The man with the scar discussed with everyone for a while, "It's okay to see the leader, but you have to be blindfolded and follow us," said the man with the scar
"As you wish"

"Skinny Monkey, report to the leader first," said the commanding man with the scar
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they all stopped and pulled off their veils, "Why is it so dark today, why are oil lamps lit?" The moment Zhuge Qiao was torn off his veils.

"I understand that the reason why the officers and soldiers can't find them is because they are hiding in the caves inside the mountain," Zhuge Qiao muttered in his heart.
Suddenly two people came up ahead, one man and one woman, Zhuge Qiao couldn't understand why they still captured the female relatives, did he go to the wrong place?
"Are you here to surrender?" the man came over and asked with a blank expression.

"exactly"

"You really think you can recruit me with less than a hundred of you," the man said disdainfully

"General, I think I should call you General. People used to call you that, and I know you are Liu Zhang's subordinate. Because Liu Huangshu entered Sichuan, Liu Zhang was defeated and you hated the emperor, so you came up the mountain." Zhuge Qiao calculated based on what happened a few years ago and when this group of people came here.

"Sure enough, I am Zhuge Liang's son. It is just as you said. In the past, I was a general under the command of General Zhang Ren. My name is Luo Xiong. I am also General Zhang's nephew. I joined the army at the age of 15; and your master Liu Bei I shot the first arrow on the 'phoenix chick'," Luo Xiong said calmly.

"Let him do what happened in the past. As time goes by, let's take it lightly; here I want the general to guarantee that if the general surrenders, he will never receive any retaliation." Zhuge Qiao also said sincerely
"Liu Bei killed General Zhang Ren, and General Zhang Ren and I were kind enough to know each other, so it is impossible for me to surrender under Liu Bei's tent." When talking about Zhang Ren, Luo Xiong obviously felt a little sad.

"The reason why Uncle Liu Huang killed General Zhang was because General Zhang refused to surrender, and he also shot and killed Feng Chu, a famous soldier in Jingzhou, which caused great disaster. General Zhang would rather die than surrender, which shows his loyalty and deep admiration, but he is no longer there. , General Luo, you should also let go of the hatred in your heart."

"Don't persuade me, I won't surrender to Liu Bei." Luo Xiong refused ungratefully

"When I came here, I heard the people's evaluation of the general at the foot of the mountain, and I knew that the general was a person who loved the people. If the general went down the mountain to help the emperor's uncle to calm the world, wouldn't it be for the benefit of more people, and the general also wanted to Think about the brothers around you, do you want them to accompany you to die on this mountain?"

"I originally planned to disband everyone and go out to roam the world, but everyone was reluctant to part with the brotherhood of nearly ten years; but I will definitely not help Liu Bei. Although I know that Liu Bei is the only hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty, I still can't say it. Own"

"To tell the truth to the general, I didn't come thousands of miles from Chengdu to recruit the general, but passed by here and heard about the general's deeds, so I fell in love with talents. Therefore, I come here here, and no matter what the result is, I hope to make friends with people like the general." Zhuge Joe saw that things were irreversible.

"Okay, it seems that Mr. Zhuge is also a man of temperament; let me introduce you to my wife, Chen Mubing, who was rescued by me at the foot of the mountain two years ago. She is also a knight-errant. Although women are not allowed to show their faces, she is eclectic. I became a knight-errant, specializing in eliminating evil for the people, so I plan to accompany her to continue the life of a knight-errant and avenge the people's grievances." Luo Xiong looked at his wife Chen Mubing and said slowly.

"I really envy the lives of your gods and couples. General Luo is getting late, and the army at the foot of the mountain is still waiting for me. If I don't go back, I don't know what kind of trouble they will cause. Just don't do it later." Zhuge Qiao clasped his fists and said

"In that case, I'll take you to the shortest way down the mountain."

"Great General"

"Mr. Zhuge, do you think Uncle Liu Huang can restore the great man?" Chen Mubing asked curiously as he walked.

"It's up to people to make plans, but it's up to God to make things happen; no one can say that, but no matter what, I believe that the emperor will not give up, and I will not leave him, and I will always work towards the revival of the Han Dynasty." Zhuge Qiao smiled pass by
When Chen Mubing heard Zhuge Qiao's answer, he wanted to say something more!The words that came to her lips were swallowed by her again.

"Follow the road ahead, keep going straight, and you can reach the bottom of the mountain before dark." Luo Xiong pointed to the road ahead and introduced it to Zhuge Qiao.
"It's my honor to get to know someone like General Luo. I don't know if we will see you again in the future, and there will be a time later."

"Don't call me a general, let's call me brothers."

"Brother Luo, just leave now"

"Regret has a period"

Zhuge Qiao's figure gradually moved away; "You think we can still see him" Chen Mubing stared at the direction where Zhuge Qiao disappeared just now.

"Who can say for sure about these things, let's also prepare for our future days."

Before dark, Zhuge and Qiao returned to the barracks, thinking about what happened today, although a loyal person like Luo Xiong still failed to join in the end, but it was worth getting to know such a passionate man.

(What Zhuge Qiao didn't expect the most is that the two Luo Xiong reappeared at the most difficult moment of his Northern Expedition)
