The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 64 General Wu's Conjecture

General Wu's conjecture

"It's so, the third brother should hurry up and call Bosong back to the city immediately after arriving at the police. I have something important to discuss." Liu Bei said hastily; he was in the police to govern Jingzhou, and now Jingzhou belongs to his own rule. Is this true? Is the sky hinting at something, Liu Bei thought silently.

After saying "No", Zhang Fei left the hall in a hurry, and the corners of his mouth curled up in joy.

Ma Liang and others, who were still persuading Liu Beiyi and the army to retreat before, did not continue to persuade them at this time; the battlefield has turned around, Zhuge Qiao attacked Gongan City by surprise, and received thousands of soldiers, which has exceeded everyone's expectations At this time, if he persuades His Majesty to withdraw the troops again, there will be no more results, Ma Liang thought silently.

"Your Majesty, I still suggest that we should not transfer soldiers from Yizhou to support the war in Jingzhou, but choose to negotiate a peace with Soochow Wu; since our camp was raided and lost all the siege equipment, and Lu Xun's wisdom is no less than Zhou Yu's, Our army should return to Yizhou and wait for the opportunity to fight Soochow again." Chen Zhen continued to persuade with reason,

"Xiao Qi (Chen Zhen's word) do you know how much more time I have to wait for this year, I have passed my sixtieth year, maybe this is the last time I will go to the royal conquest, I will not accept it!" Liu Bei finally roared.Or like the final cry of a leading lion.

Chen Zhen was also shocked by Liu Bei's roar from the heart and lungs. In this land that originally belonged to the Han Dynasty, who doesn't know how many difficulties Liu Bei has experienced in his rise, but the hero is about to end, but he is not reconciled to the final retreat .

"Your Majesty, the general will immediately call craftsmen to build siege equipment day and night, just waiting for the siege." Guan Xing stood up; facing his own uncle, the final inner monologue, how could he stand by and watch.

"An Guo, this matter is entirely up to you, and you must work hard day and night." Liu Bei ordered; seeing that his nephew could support him at this time, Liu Bei also received a little comfort.

"No," Guan Xing clasped his fists.

As Guan Xing left the hall, no one advised Liu Bei to retreat, and everyone knew that the final decisive battle in Jingzhou was inevitable.Looking at the old but still ambitious emperor Liu Bei, all the generals and I clenched our fists, preparing to kill the general and make meritorious service in front of Liu Bei.

Yidao City; the city is no longer as quiet as it used to be, merchants began to stand on the streets again, and traders became busy in Yidao City again; because the common people already knew that the Han army had withdrawn from Yidao City, and they no longer feared the Han army. When the army came back to attack the city again, the governor Lu Xun had already posted a list: the Han army was defeated and beheaded more than ten thousand people. Liu Bei fled back to Xiaoting in embarrassment, unable to fight any more.

However, in the Soochow Army, it seems that they did not hold a banquet because of breaking Liu Bei this time. On the contrary, they seemed a little depressed; All the generals seemed to have helpless expressions on their faces at the moment.

"Before that, Public Security was Liu Bei's governing place, and now it has been taken away by him, so the people can rely on it; and Public Security City is also considered a strong city, so it can be captured so easily," Lu Xun said in a deep voice.

In fact, when the generals of Eastern Wu got the news, no one believed the authenticity of the information; after all, Gongan City is still in Nanjun, and the Han army must capture Wuling City if they want to go to Nanjun, but Wuling County has [-] defenders However, the spies discovered that only [-] soldiers of the Han army had entered Wuling County, how could it be possible to break through Wuling City, and then attacked the public security by surprise; as the news was confirmed, the generals of the Wu army also began to panic. You can send troops to Jiangling, and the retreat of the army has been cut off.

"Liu Bei is so hateful. He first killed my old general Han, the governor of the left, and now he beheaded my general Pan Zhang, and even attacked our army's Public Security City. It is really abominable. Get off your horse," Ling Tong cursed, to vent his inner anger.

"According to reliable information, the governor, it was Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Qiao who led the surprise attack on the Public Security City," Luo Tong said softly, and he also knew that his words would definitely make the whole hall lively.

"It's him, Zhuge Qiao! It's impossible that he's only 17 years old this year, how could he lead the battle?" Lu Xun said in shock, because the name Zhuge Qiao was no stranger to him.

"That's right, it's him, Shuhan can't have a second Zhuge Qiao." Zhou Tai also spoke at this time.

While everyone was discussing, a person looked at them innocently, "Don't you all know Zhuge Qiao? Why haven't I heard of it?" Sun Heng asked in surprise.

"At that time, you were not in Jianye, so of course you didn't know about it; let me tell you, Zhuge Qiao, not only do we know this person, we have all seen him. Although he is Zhuge Liang's son now, he grew up in Jiangdong. of"

"How is it possible? Isn't he a Han general? How could he grow up in our Jiangdong?" Sun Heng interjected in disbelief, and the other generals also smiled when they saw Sun Heng, which also eased the tense atmosphere in the hall .

"His biological father is not Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Jin, the prefect of Nanjun in Eastern Wu. Only because Zhuge Liang was childless in his middle age, his brother Zhuge Jin adopted Zhuge Qiao as his son in order to inherit Zhuge Liang's incense." Lu Xun Said slowly, in which the self-deprecating tone was also uttered;
Sun Heng was also relieved at this time, but he also felt a hint of irony.

"Captain, Zhuge Jin, the prefect of Nanjun, is stationed in Jiangling now, do you think there will be something tricky in it?" He Qi, who joined the army, suddenly found something, and said slowly.

After being reminded by He Qi, the generals seemed to have thought of something, but none of them said it, they were just thinking about it.

"Everyone, don't be overwhelmed. Zhuge Ziyu was recommended by the late governor Lu Su, and has followed Wu Hou for many years. He will never have the heart of rebellion." Just when everyone dared not express their guesses, Lu Xun guessed what they were thinking, and immediately retorted.

It's no wonder the generals are thinking too much, after all, the son suddenly raided the Public Security City, while the father was stationed in Jiangling City, which is less than a hundred miles away from the Public Security Bureau; if there is any connection between the two, then the consequences are completely unimaginable However, once the two join forces, Nanjun will immediately fall into the hands of the Han army, and the retreat of the Soochow army will also be cut off, so how can they stop thinking about it.

"Captain, please pardon the last general who said bluntly: the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, and please also dispatch another army to Jiangling City to calm the hearts of the soldiers," He Qi reminded again.

"Zhu Ran obeys the order. You are ordered to garrison Jiangling City with [-] troops, and you must guard against the Han army's attack on the city. Remember." Lu Xun acquiesced to He Qi's proposal, but reminded Zhu Ran to guard against the Han army's surprise attack instead of asking him to guard against Zhuge Jin.

"No," Zhu Ran clasped his fists in response.
