Chapter 60 Zhuge Kunzhong

Zhuge Ke was a key figure on the military and political stage in the late middle and middle stages of Sun Wu. As Lu Xun was promoted to a general and commanded the military power of the Eastern Wu army, his honor and disgrace were not only related to the rise and fall of his individual or family, but also affected the rise and fall of the Sun Wu regime. Zhuge Ke has always had a great difference in evaluations of Zhuge Ke. Those who praised him compared him with Zhuge Liang, while those who suppressed him were demoted to him as a traitor. Unlike the cautious and calmness of the older generation, he was rarely talented and famous, and he was very good at debating. He was not against the arguments. At the same time, he was arrogant, despised etiquette and law, and did his own things. This behavior was regarded as a big problem by the Zhuge Jin brothers, but his way of dealing with things was deeply loved by Sun Quan. Because Sun

Quan himself is a person who does not like the constraints of etiquette and law. Sun Quan came from a poor family and was less restricted by Confucian etiquette and law in culture. He showed the characteristics of being light and unrestrained, which led to the prevalent mockery and joke at that time. Sun Quan always trained Zhuge Ke as the main talent of the next generation and chose him as Sun Deng's attendant. However, Sun Deng never regarded himself as a minister. Once, Sun Deng became angry and said, "Zhuge Ke can eat horse shit." Sun Deng said, "Then the prince will eat eggs." Sun Quan didn't understand and asked Zhuge Ke: "Why did he ask you to eat horse shit, but you let him eat eggs?" Zhuge Ke said, "It all came from the same place." Sun Quan laughed.

However, Zhuge Ke was definitely not a person who could only show his benefits. Kong Ming's expedition to the southern barbarians was well known to the world, but Zhuge Ke's expedition to Shanyue was no less than Kongming. During the Three Kingdoms period, a large number of descendants of Yue and Han fled people lived in the hilly and mountainous areas of Jiangnan. People collectively called it "Shanyue", forming a powerful "sectarian department". In Eastern Wu, the Shanyue people have always been a huge threat, and especially Danyang County, which is located in the Sun Wu Jing. It is also adjacent to the Cao Wei ruling area in the Jianghuai region, and communicates with each other, and is in opposition to Sun Wu.

It poses a serious potential threat. Historical records: Danyang "has a dangerous terrain, it is adjacent to the four counties of Wujun, Kuaiji, Xindu and Poyang, and has thousands of miles of circumference. Its deep valleys have never entered the city. The officials all rely on their soldiers and wild and live in the wild and wild heads in the forest. They are dead and evil, and they all flee together. They produce copper and iron on the mountain and cast their own armor. They are good at martial arts and warfare, and noble strength... Time to look at the gaps. They come out as bandits, and they always attack the troops and find their caves. When they fight, they bees arrive, and when they are defeated, they are unable to be restrained since their previous lives."

Danyang has been a strong folk custom since ancient times. The soldiers and horses in the area are called "Danyang Army", and their combat power is even better. Sun Wu established Jiangdong and has been committed to eliminating Shanyue. Almost all generals have participated in the war against Shanyue, but it was not until Zhuge Ke that he truly soothed. He presided over the task of suppressing Yue, learned from his past successful experience, and ordered military and political officials from all over the country to "protect their boundaries and establish troops" to guard the dangerous situation; his own army controlled the pass.

"But just repair the barriers and do not confront each other." Wait for the maturity of the grain crops, and take the lead in harvesting, "so the mountain people were hungry and poor, and gradually came out to surrender." Those who surrendered should "sooth them and moved out of other counties", which not only fundamentally eliminated hidden dangers in the mountainous areas, but also added a large number of troops and labor to Sun Wu. At this time, the troops led by Zhuge Ke invaded Yizhou were the world-famous Danyang Mountain Yue. Its combat power was definitely not under the "no predecessor" and "no advance" two flying troops.

The people of the Eastern Wu were good at water warfare, but Zhuge Ke could fight both water and land warfare. At this time, he pretended to withdraw his troops and led the Han army to chase him, constantly discarding the spoils along the way, giving the Han army a sweet spot. Zhang Nan was originally wary, but after more than ten days, his mind was completely weakened. He just ordered: "Wu Gou didn't keep his food and grass at this time and wanted to escape back to Dongwu. We rushed up and beat them to the river to feed the fish!"

The Han army agreed to the promise and tried hard to move forward, but it came to Zhuge Ke's plan. Zhuge Ke set up an ambush at the Ninghe River, first fighting with the Han navy with a small team, and then the brigade suddenly rushed out of the Ninghe River and blocked the Han army's return. The Wu army had large warships and rich experience in water battles. Although Zhang Nan was also very skilled in military tactics, it was really difficult for him to win the more with less in this situation.

In a big battle, the Han army was defeated and less than half of them fled. Then the Wu army returned to Kuimen. Due to Zhang Nan's defeat, the Han navy had no strength to fight again. The army alone could not defend the water city. After ten days of fierce fighting between the two sides, the Wu army broke through Kuimen, broke through Badong County and Fuling County along the way, and entered Ba County. Yizhou was shocked. At this time, Meng Huo personally led the Wuqian Feijun to Ba County, and Wang Jun, who rushed back to Yizhou, also prepared a secret army for several years - the Louchuan Navy in Bazhou.

The clouds of war enveloped the land of Yizhou.

Compared with Zhuge Ke's pride and smooth sailing, Zhuge Qiao, a younger brother who was a compatriot who received different education, was much worse. Facing the talented Lu Xun and Lu Boyan, Zhuge Qiao felt that he lived like dancing on the tip of a knife every day. Even if he had a considerable force in battle with such an opponent, Zhuge Qiao would have difficulty, let alone the difference in force several times.

Knowing that he would face an early defeat, Zhuge Qiao sent his wife to Nanzheng early. He said to his newly married beloved wife: "Your father wants to try my skills. Let's live in Nanzheng for a few days first, and I will pick you up after you turn around."

His wife, Lu, knew the dangers on the front line, but as a little woman, she could never control the national trend. She couldn't understand why Wu and Han suddenly changed from being close to each other and saw each other, nor did she understand why her father had to attack her husband. The only thing she knew was that from then on, she would spend her time in pain, worry and tears from the sun and moon.

At this time, Zhuge Qiao, the dignified prefect, sat in a dense forest at the foot of the mountain like an ordinary soldier. The mist made everything wet. The water droplets slowly gathered on the green leaves, bent the leaves heavily, forming a big drop on the tip of the leaves. Finally, they fell like a meteor and hit the ground with a "splash". Zhuge Qiao could not realize that his whole body was wet. He was looking at a battle map with all his concentration.

Shangyong was given up after defending for half a month. In this half month, all the people of Shangyong had been transferred to Hanzhong, leaving only a broken empty city to the Eastern Wu. However, the Han army was still quite injured. The brave general E Huan, who claimed to be unstoppable, was almost made into dumplings by Lu Xun. At present, even Zhuge Qiao is still in the large encirclement of the Eastern Wu.

Even the fierce battles that had no time to rest made Zhuge Qiao, who had always paid attention to appearance, had no time to take care of himself. His face was dark, he had not washed for a few days, and was covered in mud. His hair was stranded, and his chin was covered with weeds. His chin was full of beards. Because of his uneasy thoughts day and night, his eyes were red, like rabbits. He drew left and right on the map, and he was muttering something.

At this time, the Wu army quietly surrounded and shot down the sentinels of the Han army with arrows. But Zhuge Qiao always set up two whistles, one light and one dark. The whistle fell down. The secret whistle had issued an emergency warning. The emergency whistle echoed in the forest. Seeing that the raid turned into a strong attack, the Wu army rushed up loudly. The Han army met without fear. The two sides fought fiercely.

"Sir, the Wu army has attacked. It is less than five miles away."

Zhuge Qiao was still hurriedly drawing, as if he hadn't heard it. The adviser next to him said, "My lord has given him the enemy's distance is less than 500 steps. If you go down, I will naturally report it to you."

The prodding horse went down. At this time, shouting from all directions like thunder, and the Wu army had already seen the flag in the thick fog. They shouted: "Capture Zhuge Qiao alive!" and surrounded them. The Han army went forward, and the two sides fought. The shouting and killing sounded like the whistling mountain wind, sweeping through the dense forests.

After a long time, Zhuge Qiao suddenly took a picture of the map and stood up. He shouted loudly: "E Huan!"

E Huan rushed over with the Fang Tian Painted Spear in his hand like a god of killing and replied, "The last one is here!"

Zhuge Qiao said: "You go up and block it for half an hour, and then come and chase us!"

E Huan yelled: "Children, follow me! Beat those puppies from Dongwu!"

His soldiers all had red eyes and rushed forward with a loud scream.

Zhuge Qiao waved his arm and said a meaningless saying: "Let's go on!"

Ji Han soldiers surrounded Zhuge Qiao and rushed deeper into the dense forest.

"Sir, why did you let me leave at this urgent moment?" Deng Zhi's son, Shangyong, Deng Liang, could not have thought that Zhuge Qiao would actually send him away at such a difficult moment.

Zhuge Qiao smiled and said, "It is not to let you leave safely. But it is to give you a more difficult task. The battle in Yizhou is not stable at the moment, and my brother is showing off his might. However, as time goes by, the victory of the battle of Yizhou will belong to our army, and then our army will attack Dongwu. At this time, I will cause some trouble for him. The Wuxi barbarians have a deep friendship with me, Ji Han. Back then, the late emperor and my father both had great kindness to him. You go to contact him here. Then stay with his leader Shamoke, and wait for the defeat of the Wu army. My father will definitely dispatch this amazing army. At that time, you will lead the army to attack him and make great contributions to my recapture of Jingzhou."

Deng Liang was stunned for a moment. He could not have imagined that the young prefect, who was about the same age as him, was still thinking about how to retake Jingzhou after defeating one after another.

Zhuge Qiao continued: "I will send my guard Heimu to go with you. He is the younger brother of His Majesty's guard commander Heisai. He is quite brave in Wuxi and will be able to protect you. As for me, you don't have to worry. The reason why I don't retreat to Hanzhong is because Lu Xun cannot send his army to attack Hanzhong on one day. Although our army is weak at present, he has the advantage of the geographical advantage and will go around in circles with him, conduct sneak attacks, and be in danger and in peace. There will be no problem at all."

Deng Liang bowed deeply to Zhuge Qiao, brought a letter, and left with Heimu. It was from this time that Deng Liang believed that Zhuge Qiao would definitely become a great person like the Prime Minister.
