Zhuge was reborn and killed the old thief Sima

The battle between Aixian County has fallen into an extremely weird circle.

Almost all the troops under Liu Bei's command are under the command of Liu Pan and Huang Zhong. When facing an attack, Liu Bei will hardly intervene in the command, leaving all offensive aspects to Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.

But as Liu Pan said before, the two of them have never asked for favors from Taishi Ci in so many years, even though Taishi Ci did not dare to enter Changsha County and act recklessly.

But they really can't help him in Ai County.

What Liu Bei has to do every day is to immediately ask his generals to assist after Liao Li's reminder to protect the army from safely evacuating from the city wall.

It was enough to pay it back once or twice, but in the end everyone felt that this battle was... so unpleasant.

"This battlefield is a matter of killing. Why did we gain so little in this battle and lose even less..."

At this time, Tai Shixiang looked at the enemy who was retreating again, and couldn't help expressing his doubts again. At the same time, he looked at his father aside, "What do you think, father?"

"This is not the way Xuande Gong plays!"

Taishi Ci just said this, which made his son even more confused.

But no matter how much he pressed, Taishi Ci would not respond. He just asked him to guard the city carefully and not to relax.

Tai Shixiang couldn't figure out the situation here, and Liu Pan and Huang Zhong couldn't figure out the situation either.

"Han Sheng, what do you think of the current war?"

In the camp, Liu Pan asked his guards to guard the door, brought Huang Zhong in, and began a secret conversation.

"..." Huang Zhong looked at Liu Pan in front of him. He opened his mouth several times and finally chose to close it. He just shook his head helplessly, making Liu Pan's face darken.

"Han Sheng, you and I have known each other for so many years, but you still don't know what kind of person I, Liu Pan, am.

I'm looking for you today just because I can't figure it out. What do you mean?"

Looking at Liu Pan who was already a little angry, Huang Zhong also looked helpless, but finally spoke.

"Mr. Pan, it's not that I don't want to speak, it's just that... I can't understand either." Huang Zhong looked at Liu Pan in front of him with a bitter face, and his expression was quite similar to his.

"You and I are both veterans of the battlefield, but we both know that this battle was wrong from the beginning!

That general from the left led us to send troops to Ai County. Not to mention that the troops were out of nowhere, it was not feasible under the banner of revenge for Jiangxia.

But even if the division is well-known, you and I also know the situation of Taishi Ci. This is not something we can shake with the soldiers and horses in our hands.

The Zuo General had just arrived. Since he thought that we were entrusted by the eldest son, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

But... what we originally guessed was that the Zuo General wanted to use this war to gain a foothold in Jingnan.

But now that things have happened, Master Pan, do you think my original guess was correct?"

These words made Liu Pan couldn't help but close his mouth, and his eyes began to flicker for a while, while Huang Zhong's words continued.

"This battle was incomprehensible to me, and the arrangement of the left general was also confusing.

It's okay to start a war suddenly. The military advisor accompanying the army is Liao Li, the chief secretary of Changsha County. However, Liao Li has a good reputation, so I don't have any objections.

But according to what the eldest son said in the letter, the person General Zuo trusted most was the military advisor Zhuge Kongming.

He almost obeyed his words and relied on him for advice in Jiangxia. But after arriving in Changsha, Mr. Zhuge seemed to be silent.

Now he took General Zuo's personal letter and went to Guilin County with a guard of honor and beating gongs and drums.

It is said that he wants to enter Cangwu from Guilin to reconcile the conflict between Wu Chen and Lai Gong....

Okay, even if this is what the left general should do to mediate the conflicts in Jiaozhou, what about recruiting troops and horses and transporting grain and grass in the four counties of Jingnan?

Now, because of the sudden outbreak of war, Changsha is unable to continue supporting food and grass, and Xiangyang does not allocate food and grass.

The Zuo general has asked his staff Sun Qian to go to the four counties of Jingnan in his and Liu Jingzhou's name.

I heard that the first batch of grain and grass from Guiyang and Lingling was on the way, and Wuling... Sun Qian asked Wuling to send more troops and horses as reinforcements.

Now that the barbarians in Wuling are ready to attack at any time, Liu Xian, the prefect of Wuling, is almost worried to death.

But the left general was not moved at all... This is completely inconsistent with his reputation for benevolence and righteousness in the rumors."

When Huang Zhong said this, he finally spread his hands, looked at Liu Pan and asked blankly, "Master Pan, you and I have been in Jingzhou for many years, do you know what this General Zuo is going to do?

Everything he wants to do seems to be working for Liu Jingzhou, but it seems that everything is always a little bit off, as if there is something... I don't know."

"You've said so much and you don't even understand, so how can I understand?"

At this time, Liu Pan's face turned dark. He brought Huang Zhong here because he wanted to discuss the battle with him. Why did Liu Bei obviously not intervene in the command?

But even though he felt that Liu Bei was firmly in control of the situation, the two sides were fighting so tepidly, and his morale and spirit were almost gone.

After fighting for so many years, this is the first time he has seen this kind of thing.

But before he could say anything, Huang Zhong explained the entire situation in Jingnan. Well... Liu Pan felt that his mind was even more confused.

"Hey~"

The two looked at each other in the tent for a long time, and finally let out a sigh.

If Liu Bei could hear their conversation just now, I'm afraid he would also let out a few words of admiration, because although Huang Zhong didn't see what they were thinking.

But he did grasp the key point, that is, in all Liu Bei's arrangements, there is indeed a missing link to connect them...

At this time, in Cangwu County, Jiaozhou, Zhuge Kongming was having a drink with Wu Chen in the governor's mansion of Cangwu County. The atmosphere between the two parties was very peaceful.

"Mr. Zhuge has only been here for a few days, but he has arranged the internal affairs of our Cangwu County in an orderly manner. He is a great talent, and Wu Chen admires him!"

At this time, Wu Chen toasted Zhuge Liang repeatedly. In addition to the so-called admiration and gratitude, there seemed to be something different in his words.

For example... solicitation!

Kong Ming didn't have much reaction to this, but the faces of Xi Zhen and Xi Hong, who were accompanying him, turned silently gloomy.

"My lord and Lord Wu are old friends, and now they have come to mediate matters in Jiaozhou on the orders of Liu Jingzhou. Naturally, what Liang is doing now is within his scope.

It’s just...it’s just what my lord asked me to do in his official letter..."

"Kong Ming, don't worry, the food and supplies have been prepared a long time ago.

But what Wu doesn't understand is that in order to deal with mere barbarians, why do you have to go to such great lengths to take a detour to Yangzhou, go to Jiaozhou, and finally enter Wuling...

You must know that this distance spans three counties.

Can Kong Ming help Wu clear up his doubts?"
