The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 220 Eight thousand versus twenty thousand, the advantage is mine
In Fenggao city.

It has been two or three days since Xu Sheng entered the city.

Recalling that when he first entered the city, Zhuge Jin was ecstatic and thought it was reinforcements, and shouted up to the sky, "Shijun Liu is indeed the Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness. It has only been six or seven days since a certain handwritten letter was issued, yet reinforcements have arrived!"

But then he discovered that Xu Sheng's subordinates were only a few hundred people, and Xu Huang's 2000 people immediately retreated after seeing Xu Sheng enter the city.

At this scene, Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment. After hastily closing the city gate, he asked Xu Sheng: "This general, dare to ask how many reinforcements Liu Shijun sent this time?"

In fact, what he wants to ask most is why only a few hundred of you have entered the city.But people came to rescue him with good intentions, such words that could easily cause misunderstandings, naturally cannot be said.

At least, not in front of others.

Xu Sheng, who had just experienced a fight, wiped the blood from his face and threw it on the ground. A few drops even splashed onto Zhuge Jin's clothes, but he didn't care.

After wiping off almost all the blood on his face, Xu Sheng clasped his fists and said, "I'm a mere head of a village, and I can't be called your general. May I ask where Zhuge Juncheng is now? A certain general has an order to see Zhuge Juncheng. to tell the truth.”

Even if Zhuge Jin presided over the defense on the tower, Xu Sheng would not think that he was the magistrate, because he was too young.

Zhuge Jin immediately understood that she had just made a slip of the tongue, and quickly led Xu Sheng home to meet Zhuge Gui who was seriously ill.

"I've met Zhuge Juncheng!" Xu Sheng clasped his fists and said loudly.

Although he was seriously ill, Zhuge Gui insisted on asking his eldest son to help him up, and at the same time bowed his hands and saluted him: "Xu Zhuangshi!"

Xu Sheng could also see that Zhuge Gui was ill, and the identities of the two parties were somewhat different, so he didn't dare to accept this gift, but let Zhuge Gui sit down quickly.

"Xu Zhuangshi, a certain dog asked Liu Shijun for help. The letter is only six or seven days old, and Liu Shijun's army has already arrived. I have never seen such a fast tiger and wolf division!"

Zhuge Gui praised first, and then asked: "I wonder how many soldiers Liu Shijun sent this time?"

Long before Xu Sheng entered the city, Jia Xu had anticipated Zhuge Gui's problem, and when he thought about Lin Chao's attitude towards Zhuge's sect in the city, he knew that he would definitely subdue some people this time, so he helped Xu Sheng think of some arguments , which now comes in handy.

I saw Xu Sheng's face was serious, and he said in a loud voice: "So that Zhuge Juncheng will know, after my lord received the letter from the Juncheng, he was afraid that the Juncheng would make a mistake, so he hurriedly ordered thousands of elites to come first, and my lord will command fifty thousand by himself." The army is behind me, and I vow to help Jun Cheng wipe out these thieves!"

Look, look, what is the Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness!

Now see it clearly!
A letter from you, Zhuge Gui, and I will immediately send thousands of elites deep into the enemy's rear to help you out and protect your life.

Then I brought tens of thousands of troops myself to help you clean up the rebels and relieve your worries.

Regardless of the inside story, as long as Xu Sheng said so, Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness would spread throughout the world.

Because, Liu Bei really sent troops, and they came out in full force!

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Sheng's words, Zhuge Gui hadn't expressed his opinion, but Zhuge Jin was greatly shocked, and sighed: "Liu Shijun's benevolence and justice have never been seen in a hundred generations!"

Originally, when Zhuge Gui asked him to ask Liu Bei for help, he still thought that Liu Bei would not come.

After all, Taishan is under the rule of Yanzhou, and Liu Xuande is the lord of Xuzhou, why should you help me?
But Liu Bei's reaction was exactly the opposite of what he expected.

Seeing his son's expression moved, Zhuge Gui sighed inwardly.

My son is good at everything, but he is too loyal, and he believes everything others say.

He, Liu Xuande, was indeed the lord of benevolence and righteousness, but Zhuge Gui would not believe that he mobilized tens of thousands of troops just for himself.

Because it's not realistic!

Even if Liu Xuande was willing, his counselors would not be willing either.

Especially the legendary Lin Zichu who is the best at calculating people's hearts!
The details of the battle to regain Zhongshan the year before last are now slowly spreading. Anyone who has followed that war will know Lin Chao's methods.

The reason why Liu Bei led the army was mostly for Mount Tai.

But this is understandable, when I asked my son to send a letter for help, I had already planned to dedicate the entire Taishan County.

Anyway, I will die soon, and there is a high probability that the three young sons will not be able to keep it, so it is better to let Liu Bei take it.

Liu Bei took Taishan County, and he owed him more or less a favor, so he could take the opportunity to entrust his three sons to him.

In this way, Zhuge's reputation was preserved, and the three sons were also settled.

I died in peace.

But right now, the problem of Taishan thieves outside the city should be solved first.

"Liu Shijun is kind, and I am very grateful." Zhuge Gui coughed twice, and continued to speak, "But I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are on this trip, can they fight against the nearly [-] rebels outside the city?"

Xu Sheng clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Juncheng. This time, General Zhang Wenyuan is in charge of the army. He has [-] elite troops under his command, and he will definitely be able to defeat the bandit army. The reason why he sent someone into the city is to hope that the Juncheng will cooperate with our army. When the general is attacking the traitors, the governor can open the city gates and attack these traitors with our army!"

Eight thousand is too much to say, after Xu Sheng brought 500 people into the city, only 500 people remained under Zhang Liao's command.

Moreover, Xu Sheng, as a newly attached general, did not know the combat effectiveness of Liu Bei's army.

But Jia Xu asked him to say so, and he could only say so.

Hearing this, Zhuge Gui frowned, a little hesitant.

8000 people...

It sounds like a lot, and it is not easy to go deep behind enemy lines.

However, Sun Guan has nearly 2 men, and Liu Bei's army may not have a chance of winning in a real confrontation between the two armies.

Moreover, it is neither Guan Yu, nor Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other famous generals who lead the army, but the little-known Zhang Liao, which makes Zhuge Gui even more hesitant.

Probably seeing Zhuge Gui's embarrassment, Xu Sheng clasped his fists again and said, "My family, Mr. Wenhe, said that if the governor has doubts, he can wait until the two armies are fighting before deciding whether to send troops."

Hearing this, Zhuge Gui just nodded his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Master Xu Zhuang forgive me, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are all in a certain thought, so don't be careless."

Xu Sheng nodded, expressing his understanding.

At this time, Zhuge Jin suddenly walked out without saying a word, and then there was an exclamation from outside.

It turned out that the eight-year-old Zhuge Liang was eavesdropping outside, but his elder brother found out and planned to run away.But his short legs couldn't run so fast, Zhuge Jin caught him in just two or three steps.

"Brother..."

Zhuge Liang smiled awkwardly, his immature face was full of embarrassment.

Zhuge Jin reprimanded: "Kong Ming, father is discussing matters with Liu Shijun's envoy, how can you eavesdrop outside the door! If someone else sees it, they must laugh at me, Zhuge, for not knowing etiquette."

Zhuge Liang tidied up the clothes that had been wrinkled by his brother, and said, "Why do you make such a big fuss, brother, I'm just curious."

Zhuge Jin glanced at the room, made a silent gesture to Zhuge Liang, and then pulled his brother away.

"Brother, Mo Ya, Mo Ya, if you tore a certain clothes, Eldest Sister will be angry..."

Zhuge Liang managed to break free from Zhuge Jin's clutches, but he looked at his brother and smiled happily.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhuge Jin said angrily.

Zhuge Liang pretended to be profound and said: "Brother, you just said that Liu Shijun's benevolence and righteousness have never been seen in a hundred generations?"

"Yes, what's wrong with this statement?"

"Brother is kind and gentle, but he was deceived by this person."

Zhuge Liang looked at his elder brother with a gloating smile on his small face.

　There will be another chapter later, it will probably be very late.
