Han Shimou

() Xia Houyuan was secretly startled, and couldn't help asking in his heart.Suddenly, Xia Houyuan thought of a ferocious face again, and from this face, he soon thought of another person.The moment this person's face appeared in Xia Houyuan's mind, Xia Houyuan felt trembling all over his body, and there was a feeling of shuddering and frightening.

Who is it that makes Xia Houyuan, who is fearless in heaven and earth and fearless in the face of thousands of horses and horses alone, fear him so much?

Right now, this person is standing on the top of a hill not far away, standing with his hands folded against the wind, his eyes shining brightly, silently looking at the bright sun in the sky above the vast clouds, and then following the bright light, looking down at the sky under the sky. Scenery, murmured.

"Such a great river and mountain, but why is it in troubled times? Success and failure, but they are all white dogs. Where should we go?"

After all, he let out a long sigh, as if the Tao had exhausted the vicissitudes of the world.This person is wearing a pure white crane cloak and a feather fan scarf. Under the bright sun, he looks like a fairy.Hearing this, Cheriji exchanged glances with Yadan who was beside him, and a trace of bewilderment flashed across their faces.However, behind the two of them, there was a burly man who was Yue Ji.Yue Ji stared at the giant eyes, suddenly broke the silence with a low voice, and asked the person in the crane cloak in front. ..

"Prime Minister! Wei Kou has already withdrawn to Changle City, shall we rush to see that Zhuge Ke!?"

The person Yue Ji asked was Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Liang smiled lightly, turned around silently, and nodded slightly.

Let's talk about the other side, Zhuge Ke led his troops to put out the fire, and soon the soldiers who went to pursue the Wei soldiers returned one after another, including a Wu soldier and a horse wearing a Shu soldier's armor.Zhuge Ke cast his eyes and saw that the general who led the Wu army was Zhu Zhi.And the one who led the soldiers and horses of the Shu people was the fierce general who had killed Xia Houyuan and Jiang Wei just now.Zhuge Ke was shocked, and hurried to greet him.Zhu Zhi and Zhang Fei dismounted one after another, only to see Zhuge Ke leading a group of Jiaozhou soldiers to come and salute respectfully.Zhu Zhi laughed, Zhang Fei narrowed his eyes, and nodded grimly, as a courtesy.Zhuge Ke was not angry when he saw this, knowing that this evil god should not be offended.Immediately, Zhuge Ke asked Zhu Zhi about the past.Zhu Zhi smiled at the corner of his mouth, he seemed to be in a good mood, so he told them one by one.

It turned out that last night Zhu Zhi and Zhuge Liang led their troops ten miles away from Changle City.Suddenly a scout came to report that there was a lot of movement in Changle City, and it was suspected that soldiers and horses were dispatched.When Zhu Zhi heard about it, he hurriedly led his troops to catch up.When Zhu Zhi arrived, he saw a certain mountain in the east of Changle City, and the flames were soaring into the sky.Zhu Zhi was very anxious, he guessed that it must be Wei Kou attacking his own army camp, and he wanted to send troops to rescue immediately.At this moment, Zhuge Liang was calm and unhurried, and said calmly, Wei Kou is powerful and even brave and elite. If he attacked rashly at this time, with the strength of this army, even if he arrived, it would be difficult to turn the tide, and it would be useless.When Zhu Zhi heard this, his complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang for advice.Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.After a while, Zhuge Liang's expression stabilized, and he gave instructions slowly, ordering Zhang Fei to lead [-] soldiers and horses forward, but he only led half of the soldiers and horses to help, while the other half of the soldiers and horses shouted from the foot of the mountain, bluffing.When Wei Bing heard the great momentum down the mountain, he must have been frightened and lost his position.Zhang Fei, relying on his bravery, broke into the rebellious army and took advantage of the chaos to attack Wei Kou's commander Xia Houyuan. If he could succeed, it would be a good thing.If he couldn't, Xia Houyuan would have no chance against Zhang Fei, and he was afraid that reinforcements would arrive, so he would withdraw his troops.But Zhu Zhi led the rest of the troops to lie in ambush outside Changle City. When he saw the signal, he knew that Wei Kou had fled.Zhu Zhi was overjoyed by the plan, so he obeyed.Zhuge Liang rushed to a mountain top under the support of Cheriji and other soldiers.When it was time for the common people, Wei Kou was defeated and retreated. Zhuge Liang taught Cheriji to set fire as an excuse. Zhu Zhi saw it, and immediately led the army to fight out. As expected, Wei Kou was defeated like a mountain.

Zhu Zhi talked eloquently, with surprise and admiration in his eyes.Zhuge Ke's complexion changed continuously when he heard it, and his heart seemed to be in turmoil.At the same time, he secretly thought that without his uncle Zhuge Liang's ingenious plan this time, his soldiers and horses would have been severely damaged, and most of his luggage and weapons would have been destroyed.At that time, he had to withdraw his troops back to Linxiang in embarrassment.In this way, he, a child prodigy who is well-known and highly anticipated, will become the laughing stock of the world!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Ke couldn't help shivering. He has an arrogant personality and was highly praised by others since he was a child. Even Sun Quan praised him endlessly, and all the Wu officials admired him extremely.If his reputation is ruined and people look down on him, he absolutely cannot accept it. For him, life is simply worse than death! !

Just when the corner of Zhuge Ke's eyes touched, he lost his mind for a while.Zhu Zhi thought that Zhuge Ke was shocked by his uncle's talents, so he laughed and patted Zhuge Ke on the shoulder.

"Hahaha!! Fortunately, Yuan Xun has the foresight. If you hadn't tried your best to promote the acceptance, you would have been defeated by Wei Kou today. Your uncle really has unpredictable schemes and strategies, which are rare in the world. I With his help in Eastern Wu, even if Wei Kou has millions of troops, he will not be afraid!!"

Zhu Zhi laughed out loud, at this moment, someone suddenly laughed from behind.

"General Zhu is absurd, bright talent and little learning, but I'm afraid I may be disappointed!" <The wind blows, and there is an inexplicable comfort all over.Just hearing this laughter, it is difficult to feel the slightest disgust towards the owner of this laughter.When Zhu Zhi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly turned around and walked towards him.Zhuge Ke took a deep breath, shook his spirits, and turned around, only to see Zhu Zhi was rushing towards dozens of people.Among the dozens of people, one was sitting on a four-wheeled cart, pushed behind by a burly man.However, Zhuge Ke's eyes were quickly attracted by the man in the car.

I saw that man's face was like a crown jade, his eyes were like bright stars, a pair of slender sword eyebrows, full forehead, a faint smile on his mouth, exuding an invisible air of air all over his body, what a fairy-like figure!Zhuge Ke looked at it, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but think of a simple and honest man with a bit of dignity, with wisdom hidden in his eyes, and his aura was restrained, but there was a man who was not angry but mighty.This person is his father, Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin is well-educated, well-read, and hides his secrets. He is the great Sima of Soochow.Zhuge Ke has always believed that in Soochow, apart from Zhou Yu, his father is the No. 1 in terms of strategy and resourcefulness, and even Lu Su, Lu Xun and others are not as good as his father.Of course, Zhuge Ke has a lot of selfishness in this.Not only that, Zhuge Ke used to speak boldly, saying in front of Sun Quan that his father was better than his uncle, Zhuge Liang, who was known as the most wise man in the world.

But at this moment, when this fairy-like figure really appeared in front of Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Ke realized that what he said back then was like a dog's mouth that can't spit ivory! !

With this kind of spirit, his father Zhuge Jin is compared to his uncle Zhuge Liang, the stars are compared to the bright moon!Zhuge Ke took a deep breath.At this moment, Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly turned to Zhuge Ke, with a bigger smile on his face, and he nodded slightly to him.Zhuge Ke's heart twitched, and he felt that under Zhuge Liang's gaze, he had no way to hide, and his thoughts were completely seen through, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saluting.

"My nephew, Zhuge Yuanxun, pay my respects to my uncle. If it wasn't for my uncle's ingenious plan to help me, I'm afraid my nephew would have been ruined by this time and missed the important affairs of the country!!"

When Zhuge Liang heard the words, he smiled indifferently, looked at Zhuge Ke silently, and said meaningfully.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. You don't have to keep it in your heart. You need to learn the lesson and be brave after knowing your shame. Yuan Xun was still young, but he was entrusted with an important task by the King of Wu. It can be said to honor the lintel of my Zhuge family. Yuan Xun is deeply loved by the King of Wu. Ende, you should do your best to repay the kindness of the King of Wu. As for this setback, you don’t need to worry about it. Soochow is in crisis and employing people. You can make meritorious deeds and humiliate yourself!”

Zhuge Liang said in a soft voice, and Zhuge Ke's heart moved when he heard it, so he would definitely keep it in mind.Zhuge Liang chuckled and nodded slightly.After a while, under Zhu Zhi's signal, Zhuge Ke ordered Zhuge Liang and his men to rest in a camp on the east side of the village.Zhuge Liang realized it, and bowed to Zhu Zhi, and then went with Zhang Fei and other Shu generals to lead the way.Not long after Zhuge Liang and others left, Zhuge Ke and Zhu Zhi returned to the barracks.Zhuge Ke asked Zhu Zhi to sit in the high hall. Zhu Zhi was the general of the Jiaozhou Army, so he did not shirk.The two sat down, Zhu Zhi's expression sank, and he asked Zhuge Ke about the current situation.Zhuge Ke answered quickly.When Zhu Zhi heard that Lu Xun had led [-] troops to Linchuan, the anxiety in his eyes faded a lot, and he said in a deep voice.

"It turned out to be the case, I will do my best to fight the battle, repel that old thief Xia Houyuan as soon as possible, and rush to Wu County for rescue!!"

After hearing this, Zhuge Ke showed a look of shame on his face, knelt down on the ground, and confessed his crime.

"Keep incompetent!! I have failed the general's high expectations. Yesterday, I suffered repeated losses. The Jiaozhou army lost nearly ten thousand troops. With such a force, I am afraid that it will be difficult to rush to defeat Wei Kou!!"

When Zhu Zhi heard this, he had lost so many soldiers and horses, his complexion immediately darkened, and he looked at Zhuge Ke coldly.Zhuge Ke lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly, remembering that Lu Xun had ordered him not to act rashly, and wait for Zhuge Liang to come before making further progress.But he was eager for quick success and quick success, and tried many tricks, but was succeeded by the Wei people. Thinking of this, his heart is full of bitterness.After a while, Zhu Zhi let out a long sigh, shook his head and said.

"That's all. Just like what your uncle said, our country is employing people right now, and you should pay the crime and make meritorious deeds, and don't make any more mistakes, or you will be punished for both crimes, and you will never be forgiven lightly!!"

When Zhuge Ke heard the words, he was overjoyed, thanked him quickly, and agreed generously.

But it is said that in Changle City, Xia Houyuan has finished his army, and now he is discussing with Jiang Wei in the government office.Jiang Wei's face was pale, but his eyes were still shining with sparks.He only listened to Jiang Weining's remonstrance.

"I don't know how many Wu thieves are here now. General Xiahou should not move lightly. He should send scouts to investigate first, and then make further advances."

Xiahou Yuan narrowed his eyes when he heard this. In the last night's battle, he could have severely injured the Jiaozhou soldiers, but at the critical moment, reinforcements from the Wu bandits suddenly arrived, and what made it hard for him to understand was that Zhang Fei was actually in the midst of the reinforcements, forcing him to He had to withdraw his army, and later he was ambushed by Zhuge Liang. After repeated losses, his own army lost nearly [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, leaving only more than [-] soldiers.Up to now, more than half of the [-] soldiers and horses under his command have been lost, but he still has not conquered a county in Changsha!Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan couldn't help being furious, slapped the table, gritted his teeth, and roared angrily.

"This Zhuge Kongming just came to ask for help from our great Wei a while ago, but now he is helping the Wu thief and making an enemy of our great Wei. This man is capricious, he really deserves to die!! If he is captured by me in the future, he will definitely kill him His body was broken into thousands of pieces to vent my hatred!!"
