Chapter 364: Zhuge goes south


"The lord ordered us to go back to the house first, but I didn't leave my brother to have dinner together" When Zhuge Liang returned to the mansion given to Zhuge by Liu Qi in Xiangyang City, he happened to see Zhuge Jin sitting at the stone table.

"King Wu ordered me to stay in Jingzhou or lead troops to Shunan, and I will set off tomorrow."

Zhuge Liang sat down on the stone table, lifted the bamboo chopsticks on the bowl, and took a bite of stir-fried vegetables, which was cold in the mouth, but he still swallowed it.

"The lard was eaten by mistake, so I let the cook heat it up."

After that, Zhuge Jin exchanged the maid for the food on the table.

"The second brother went to Shunan to pacify the barbarians, and he led an army alone" Zhuge Jin carried the teapot and filled Zhuge Liang with a cup.

"I am the governor of Yizhou, and I will control the soldiers of Zhu Huan, Liu Pan, He Qi, Ma Zhong, and Chen Heng, with a total of 50,000 troops, to conquer the southern barbarian tribes of Yongchang, and Xu Sheng will not be defeated."

Zhuge Jin's face was meticulous, "If you win this battle, my brother can be an official in any state." ” "King Wu originally intended to stay in Jingzhou, sit and watch the war in Yan and Henan, once Liu Bei and Cao Cao have changed, he can lead Jingzhou's troops north to Nanyang, and he can send a partial division to send troops to Runan to respond."

"Jingzhou Sima Lumeng's department is still there, why do you want the second brother to lead the troops?"

"King Wu intends to be in Sanfu, there is no horse in the east of my Jiangdong, King Wu has sent General Zilong to Hanzhong, if I expected, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, will be on the table to beg to surrender, then, our army can go down from Hanzhong to Guanghan, enter the land of Sanfu, and seize good horses to raise iron horses."

"The land of the three auxiliaries, about the people of the middle ten roads, Chang'an and Sun Quan, Yizhou is just determined, this state is not as good as Jingzhou, more barbarian Yue, Hao clan, all parts of the country need soldiers and horses to garrison, if you do not mobilize the troops of Jingzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with Ma Teng Han Sui's generation."

"The elder brother is stationed in Fangling, just to prevent Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, if Zhang Lu asks to surrender, the elder brother may be transferred."

Zhuge Jin's eyes narrowed, "Where does my brother want my brother to go?"

"Before the year of last year, King Wu intended to reform the system in the General's Mansion, such as today's son ordered to be crowned king, the four counties of Yangzhou are King Wu's feudal country, and the restructuring is within the feudal country, and it will not be encroached upon, if the elder brother returns to the General's Mansion to serve, he should be the head of a department."

"If it is released," Zhuge Liang stroked his beard with one hand, "You can go to Hanzhong." ” "Zhang Lu is still in Hanzhong, and his Wudoumi Sect is powerful, even if our army wins this Hanzhong, I am afraid it will be difficult to seize Zhang Lu's power."

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, "No, although Zhang Lu is mediocre, he also has capable people under his account, if he asks for surrender, he will definitely return to Jiangdong with King Wu to serve as an official, and he will never stay in Hanzhong, where the war is about to start." ” "Kong Ming, the third brother wrote a letter a year ago, and now you are leading the army to Shunan, I don't know if there will be a day to meet him."

"The third brother is the commander of Jiaozhi County, and the tens of thousands of troops in front of him are difficult to move lightly, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet him today."

Zhuge Liang sighed, this time the soldiers of Jiaozhou went north to Shunan, a county in Jiaozhi, except for Zhuge Jun and Zhu Ran, the officials sent by Jiangdong almost poured out, and at this moment of the war, Zhuge Jun categorically would not leave Jiaozhi.

Zhuge Jin sighed, "If the second brother is sure that our army will definitely fight Liu Bei this year, when the army is sent to Wancheng, I am still willing to go on the northern expedition with the army." ” Zhuge Liang bowed, "Brother is blaming me for not being able to capture Xiangyang in March" "Failed to collapse the city with catapults in two months, attacked the city in January, our army killed and wounded nearly 20,000 soldiers, Huo Jun is good at guarding, Guan Yu's father and son are heroes in the world, Lu Sima is still unable to capture this city, how can I blame the second brother, not to mention, the battle of Fang Ling, our army surrounded and annihilated the Bai Yu soldiers, captured and killed Deng Fang, Zhuo Ying, and the two thieves, which is already regarded as revenge for my sister."

After a while, the steaming meal was served on the table, and Zhuge Jin glanced at the maid beside him, "Present the liquor that King Wu has rewarded today." ” "Whoa."

"Gurgling", Zhuge Jin filled a bottle for Zhuge Liang.

"It's freezing on this day, you are going to Shunan at this moment, and when you arrive at the front line, I am afraid that it will be the first month, you can think about how to fight with the barbarians in Shu."

"Brother, don't worry, I will walk Wuling and Lingling to the south, from the mountains and forests to Shu, and I will never take Bajun to detour."

"In such a hurry, your body can be eaten" "The barbarian department in Shu, mostly entrenched in the mountains and forests, even after occupying Yongchang, there is a grain planted, but it is not enough for its hundreds of thousands of people to use, this cold season, it is the time when it rises up to make a rebellion, the fighter plane is fleeting, I can first determine the rebellion of several counties in southern Shu, and then conquer Yongchang."

"The barbarians are powerful, and most of them are guarded by mountains and forests, and their strength is not weaker than the Jiangdong Shanyue in the past, Kong Ming was ordered by the king, and he is a thief here, and he is afraid that he will not be able to return within a few years."

Zhuge Liang smiled and stopped the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, "Brother, don't worry, this plan was offered by Pang Shiyuan before, he wants to open up territory for King Wu and lay down the mountains and forests west of Jiaozhou." ” Zhuge Jin's face changed slightly, "Pang Tong is so arrogant, even if our army has the elite of the mountains and forests to fight, but if you attack the land west of Jiaozhou, I am afraid that you will have to climb over countless lofty mountains and mountains, in the vast forest sea, snakes, insects, rats and ants, beasts and insects are so many, and there are more miasma everywhere, that is, when the pre-Qin Dynasty, with Zhao Tuo's 400,000 Qin troops going south, they are still unable to conquer South Vietnam. ” Zhuge Liang's eyes narrowed, "I am just to conquer the Yongchang barbarians this time, to recover the lost land of my Han family, if I want to go south, according to the opinion of King Wu, I am afraid that I will have to wait for the people of Jiaozhou to recuperate, after the two seasons of rice production in that year." ” Just as this happened, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the long street across the wall, "Yizhou good news, Yizhou good news." ” As the sound of horses' hooves went away, there was also a lively discussion on the street, the Zhuge brothers sitting in the courtyard looked at each other, Zhuge Liang put the wine bottle in the boiling small ding, and picked it up when the wine bottle in his hand was slightly hot, "Brother thinks, where is Yizhou to report success" "Since Zhao Wei was beheaded by Pang Le and Li Yi's two generals, our army has come to the city of Chengdu, and Kuai Yidu has won Zhao Wei's Dongzhou soldiers, Liu Zhang's general trend has gone, and my brother has entered Shu this time, and the north is worry-free."

Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this, but did not say anything.

That night, he packed his bags and came to the door by night, and when he was about to get into the car, when he opened the door with a gap, Zhuge Jin was wearing a robe and looking at him with a smile.

He was slightly moved in his heart, and solemnly said to him, "Brother, it's inconvenient for Liang to bother, so I'll set off for the south tonight." ” "Kong Ming is here, Pingnanman, through Shunan, in the future, to expand the territory, to leave a name in history, for the brother to practice."

As he spoke, Zhuge Jin ordered someone to serve a glass of warm spirits.

The wine entered his throat, and Zhuge Liang's face was flushed, "Brother go." ” He turned and got into the car, lowered the curtain, and ordered the coachman to go to the south gate.

Zhuge Jin watched the carriage drive past the long street, disappeared in front of him, and sighed faintly, "Why do you bother, King Wu named you and Liu Bei Longzhong in the courtyard today, there is no mustard in his heart, why should you bother" Zhuge Jin could almost guess a little bit of his second brother's thoughts, he was also arrogant.

Thinking of this, he laughed at himself, once upon a time, he was conceited and full of poetry and books, wasn't he also like this The uncles and nephews of the Xun family in the north, Zhou Yu and Lu Su, and the Sima family, why not
