Soldiers come to the world

The head of the Zhu family is still Zhu Liang, the father of Zhu Xun. Zhu Liang donated half of the family's land under the persuasion of his son, which was highly praised by Liu Jing. His son Zhu Xun was also promoted to the county magistrate of Chaisang. Zhu Xun also worked really hard to manage Chaisang in an orderly manner, the business was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the society was very stable, and he paid a lot of money, food and taxes every year.

There are also rumors in Jiang Xia that Zhu Xun will be promoted to Changsha County Chancellor this year, which makes Zhu Liang very happy. He is looking forward to the arrival of April every day, but unexpectedly, the sneak attack of the Jiangdong Army shattered Zhu Liang's dream.

The fall of Chaisang made it difficult for Zhu Liang to sleep for several days, not because of the fall of Chaisang itself.

This caused Zhu Liang to fall into a kind of uneasiness and panic. Is my son the county magistrate of Jingzhou or Jiangdong?If it was the county magistrate of Jiangdong, wouldn't he have surrendered and betrayed Jingzhou?

Zhu Liang was sitting on pins and needles in the study room, when the butler came to report that Manager Li of the manor had something to see, Zhu Liang thought that something happened to the manor, his heart ached again, and he immediately said: "Let him in!" [

After a while, Steward Li of the manor entered the room, knelt down and bowed, and took out a letter: "Last night, someone from Wuchang found me and asked me to give this letter to the master!"

Zhu Liang was stunned. He took the letter slowly. Suddenly, he stood up in shock. The letter turned out to be Zhou Mu's handwritten letter. He was trembling all over, and it took him a while to open the letter, trembling to read it .

Liu Jing's tone in the letter was very gentle. First of all, he appreciated Zhu Xun's efforts for the prosperity of Chaisang over the years. He could understand that Zhu Xun did not abandon the city and fled, but stayed to protect the people of Chaisang at the expense of his own reputation. .

Zhu Liang breathed a long sigh of relief. He was grateful for Liu Jing's tolerance, and he continued to read. In the second half of the letter, Liu Jing asked the Zhu family to stick to their principles and contribute to Jiang Xia's recovery of Chaisang.

Zhu Liang sighed, Chaisang fell, and the Tao family was closely monitored. Liu Jing found himself. Of course he understood the danger, but he had already considered the choice. Zhu Liang asked the steward again: "Wuchang is still there Is there anything to tell you?"

Li Guanshi hesitated, and said in a low voice: "The thirty men I brought this time are actually soldiers of the Jiangxia Army, and they asked to hide in our mansion."

Zhu Liang was so frightened that his legs trembled, that this was coming soon, but it was impossible for him to report the confession. Their family land was in Chaisang, unless they didn't want to live anymore. He lowered his head and thought for a while: " I remember that there are rules when entering the city, as many people as come in must go out, and you are not allowed to spend the night in the city, right!"

Manager Li nodded, "This is the rule."

Zhu Liang sighed and said, "Then I'll find another 30 people from the mansion and let you take them out! Also, invite their leader to come over, I want to talk to him."

Li Guanshi went out, and after a while he brought a thin man, Zhu Liang was surprised, "It turned out to be General Liu!"

It was Liu Zheng who came, not only him, but the 30 people he brought were all elite Eagle Strike Forces. Although Liu Jing did not attack Chaisang for the time being, it did not mean that he would surrender Chaisang.

Liu Zheng grinned, "So the old man knows me?"

Zhu Liang smiled wryly, "There are not many people in Jiang Xia who don't know General Liu."

Liu Zheng "touched" his face, and said with a smile: "It seems that I really can't go to the street, otherwise it will cause a sensation in the whole city."

Zhu Liangxin joked with him, and quickly said: "This is exactly what I want to say to General Liu, please stay at the mansion at ease, I will make arrangements."

The smile on Liu Zheng's face disappeared, and he shook his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for your kindness, but I have a mission, and I will arrange what I need to do. In addition, I want to see the county magistrate Zhu, please help me arrange it. "

Zhu Liangna had no choice but to nod, "I'll send someone to find him right away."

Just as the situation in Jiangxia was on the verge of breaking out, Liu Bei's special envoy finally arrived late, and Zhuge Liang unexpectedly came to Jiangxia with his wife and daughter.

Liu Bei originally planned to send Jian Yong as an envoy to Jiangxia, but just as Jian Yongzheng was about to leave, Liu Bei unexpectedly received news that Jiang Xia's army had occupied Xiling County. [

This made Liu Bei suspicious and anxious. He suspected that Liu Jing would also take Bashu, but because of Zhao Yun's matter, Liu Jing had promised him not to take Bashu.

After much deliberation, Liu Bei decided to send Zhuge Liang to Jiangxia to test Liu Jing's attitude.

Of course, the temptation can only be on the sidelines, but Zhuge Liang's excuse for coming here is because of Jiang Dongxi Zheng, and he is here to express his opinion on behalf of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was grateful for Liu's return to Liu Chan. The Jingnan army would never cooperate with Jiangdong to attack Nanjun. As for whether the Jingnan army has the ability to cross the river, that is not important.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang also brought his wife Huang Yueying and daughter A Guo to Jiangxia. Huang Yueying and Tao Zhan hadn't seen each other for many years.

Jiangxia Horse Farm is located about [-] miles northeast of Wuchang County, close to Wuchang Lake. It is a wild grassland full of alfalfa.

The original horse farm was only [-] mu, but after several years of development, it has expanded to [-] mu, with a [-]-mu forest and a lake of the same size in the middle.

This is a vast southern pasture, with the warmth and humidity not found in the north, the lake and water, and the beautiful trees, which make people linger and forget to return.

There are thousands of war horses in the ranch, most of them are ponies and stallions. Once the war horses grow up, they will be equipped with troops, or they will be used as cavalry independently, or assigned to army scouts. Over the past few years, this horse farm has provided nearly five horses for Jiang Xia's army. Thousands of war horses.

On a gentle slope with green grass, Tao Zhan and Huang Yueying each rode slowly on a white horse, followed by a few female guards, carefully riding around to protect them.

Huang Yueying only knows how to ride a horse. Hearing that these are real war horses, she seemed very nervous when they ran like flying on the battlefield, but after walking two miles with Tao Zhan, she found that this war horse was not fierce. Docile, seems to know that she can't ride a horse, so she walks slowly.

Huang Yueying couldn't help smiling, and asked Tao Zhan, "Jiu Niang, is this really a war horse? It's so docile!"

Tao Zhan wore a light green long dress, and looked as gorgeous as a peach blossom. Although she and Huang Yueying hadn't seen each other for several years, their relationship was not estranged. They kept exchanging letters. Tao Zhan was overjoyed and treated him very hospitablely, as if he wanted to make up for the lack of years.

She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This is a horse specially selected for you. A real war horse can't be so docile."

At this moment, nearly a hundred war horses came galloping in the wilderness from a distance, their hoofs beating the ground like thunder, whistling past them not far away.

Huang Yueying had never seen such a galloping horse before, she couldn't help being startled, she couldn't control the horse, a female guard quickly grabbed the rein and stabilized the horse.

Tao Zhan had seen Jiangxia Army cavalry training, she was not surprised, she said with a smile: "See, those are real war horses, they run like thunder, only real warriors can tame them."

However, women are not interested in war horses by nature, and their attention soon turned to the lake in the distance. It was a lake bay with steep mountains and lush forests on both sides. There was a small island in the middle of the lake bend. , very quiet, the waves are picturesque, just like a fairyland on earth.

Huang Yueying couldn't help but praised: "The lake is as blue as a jewel, I didn't expect such a beautiful scenery here."

Tao Zhan was also intoxicated by the scenery of the lake and mountains in the distance. Her eyes were blurred, and she turned her head to look at Liu in the distance. She wanted to talk to her husband about buying the island in the lake, but when she saw him He and Zhuge Liang were riding slowly side by side on horseback. They were talking about something, so don't disturb them.

Tao Zhan saw the little Bao Niang playing with two children on a grass field by the lake again, so he said with a smile, "Let's go and see the children!"

Huang Yueying nodded happily, and the two got off their horses and walked quickly to the lake. [

Liu Zheng and Zhuge Liang rode slowly, Zhuge Liang looked around and said with a smile: "This area has a wide view and beautiful scenery, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. It's still a horse farm. I can't believe this is actually the south."

Zhuge Liang concealed his shock by admiring the scenery. He finally understood why Jiang Xia's army had cavalry, and he also saw the price that Jiang Xia's army had paid for raising horses for many years.

He felt sad, from a racecourse he saw the huge difference between the Jingnan Army and Jiang Xia Army, not to mention the navy, kerosene, and Jiang Xia Army's unique heavy armored infantry.

Liu quickly glanced at Zhuge Liang, and asked with a slight smile, "Isn't there such a flat place in Wuling?"

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "The mountains around Wuling are undulating, and there are very few such vast fields. Even if there are, they are used for farming, and it is impossible to raise horses. What's more, there are no good horses for breeding, and horses are the national power. "

Liu nodded, "That's true!"

Zhuge Liang arrived in Wuchang yesterday, and today is the second meeting with Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei's promise not to cooperate with the Jiangdong Army to go north has won polite thanks from Liu and Jiangxia's senior officials, that is not the real purpose of Zhuge Liang's mission to Jiangxia.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, then slowly asked: "I don't know what plans Zhou Mu will have after this battle is over?"

Liu smiled wryly and said, "I have never had any long-term plans. In fact, I have never stopped from the year before last until now. I have been dragged down by wars over and over again, and I have no time for long-term thinking."

Of course Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Yan was insincere, he smiled and said: "How can Zhou Mu not have great ambitions? I feel that the morale of Jiangxia's army is strong. How can an army that can defeat Cao Cao be content with Jiangxia?"

"Mr. Kong Ming doesn't know that Jiangxia has a small area and a small population. It is really difficult to bear several consecutive wars. After the Chibi War, Jiangxia's national power was on the verge of collapse, so we had to watch Cao Cao calmly retreat. Go, I had to march into Nanjun and Xiangyang after a few months. This time Chaisang was attacked by surprise, I can only swallow my anger and use limited resources to deal with Jiangdong Army. If I win by luck, Jiangxia will recuperate for three or four years. Jiang Xia's army will also recharge their batteries, and I will expand my strength in at least three years."

This time it was Zhuge Liang's turn to smile wryly. Regardless of how he made insinuations, Liu was tight-lipped, but this also just showed that Liu's plan could not be known to himself.

Then contacted Liu to lead the army to Xiling County, Zhuge Liang sharply concluded that even if Liu didn't say anything, his strategic goal was self-evident.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang asked lightly again: "When I came, Uncle Huang really wanted to know about Zilong's situation. How is he doing?"

Zhuge Liang just reminded Liu, "At the beginning, you promised Uncle Liu Huang not to take Bashu first, and use Zhao Yun as an exchange." '

Unexpectedly, Liu shook his head, "Uncle Huang promised to let Zilong be loyal to me, but in fact, Uncle Huang did not fulfill his promise. I have tried to make Zilong an official title three times, but he declined all of them. Uncle Liu's promise is disappointing."

Zhuge Liang was stunned, and quickly asked, "I don't know where General Zilong is now?"

"I don't know either. I heard that he went back to his hometown to visit his parents' graves. Mr. Kong Ming, please tell Uncle Liu Huang. I hope he can fulfill his promise as soon as possible."

Zhuge Liang was silent, he was a smart man, he knew that it was pointless to ask about Bashu again.
