Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhuge Jin couldn't help but hesitate after hearing Zhou Yu's advice.  Zhou Yu hurriedly winked at Sun Ce, who also came to beg in person. Zhuge Jin finally accepted the offer out of loyalty.  Sun Ce was overjoyed and rewarded Zhuge Jin heavily, so he summoned Zhuge Jin, young and old, to be imprisoned in his mansion.  Then he wrote a letter and ordered Zhuge Jin to go to Jingzhou.

    By the end of the day, Zhuge Jin came to Jingzhou and sent someone to report to Zhuge Liang first.  But he said that Zhuge Liang had watched the stars day and night and saw that the evil stars in the south were shining brightly, and there would be a tragic war soon.  Zhuge Liang used his superb wisdom to calculate one by one and made a decision.  That day, Zhuge Liang and Pan Feng were discussing matters. When Pan Feng learned that his brother had entered Jingzhou, his expression became condensed and he asked Zhuge Liang suspiciously.

    "Brother, why are you here?"

    Zhuge Liang replied immediately without thinking.

    "Must be coming to Suonan County."

    Pan Feng was shocked when he heard this and said anxiously.

    "Nanjun is an important place in Jingzhou and must not be lost. Military advisors must not agree to this!"

    "Second general, don't worry. How can Liang not know how important Nanjun is? Let's wait and see what happens. Liang has his own strategy to deal with it."

    Zhuge Liang was very confident, as if everything was within his expectations, so he and Pan Feng taught him this.  Pan Feng secretly kept it in mind.

    The meeting was decided, so Zhuge Liang and Pan Feng went out to pick up Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Liang led his brother away from his private house and into the hotel.  After paying homage, Zhuge Jin did not ask for Nanjun, but suddenly burst into tears.

    Zhuge Liang hurriedly comforted Zhuge Jin.

    "Brother, I just want to say something. Why are you mourning?"

    Zhuge Jin cried miserably with tears streaming down his face.

    ¡°My second brother doesn¡¯t know anything, but my whole family has been captured by the Marquis of Wu and is in danger!¡±

    Zhuge Liang stared, pretending to be angry and shouted.

    "Wu Hou is like this, could it be that he didn't return to Nanjun for the sake of glory? Because of my brother, I will take care of my elder brother, how can I feel at ease? Brother, don't worry, I can return to Nanjun if I have my own plan!"

    Zhuge Jin was overjoyed when he heard this and wanted to thank his brother Zhuge Liang.  At this moment, Pan Feng glared and roared angrily.

    "No!! My brother is not in Jingzhou. This matter is serious and we should wait for my brother to come back before making a final decision. The military advisor is a minister, how can one person make decisions alone! This is unreasonable and unreasonable!!!"

    After Zhuge Liang heard this, he cried and bowed to the ground and asked Pan Feng for help.

    "Liang's elder brother is under the command of the Marquis of Wu. If he doesn't return it, my brother will kill his whole family. How can Liang be the only one alive after my brother dies? I hope the second general will take a look at Liang and return Nanjun to Soochow. All Liang brothers will do it."  Love! Repay the Lord with death!"

    Pan Feng refused again and again, but Zhuge Liang just cried and begged.  Zhuge Jin watched secretly and couldn't bear to see his brother crying so miserably.  Pan Feng's face was cold, and he shouted loudly at Zhuge Liang who was kneeling on the ground.

    "My brother Taoyuan and I are sworn brothers, and we vow to support the Han Dynasty together. How can we arbitrarily give away the territory of Jingzhou to others? What's more, my brother is not here now, and without my brother's permission, who dares to give Jingzhou an inch of land? I  I won¡¯t spare him!¡±

    When Zhuge Liang saw this, he couldn't stop crying and was heartbroken.  Zhuge Jin hurriedly asked Pan Feng for help.

    "Now that the Marquis of Wu is in charge of Jin, he will be killed if he cannot get to Jingzhou. I hope the general will have mercy on him!"

    Pan Feng sneered when he heard this and shouted to Zhuge Jin.

    "How can you hide Sun Bofu's cunning plan from me?"

    Seeing how ruthless Pan Feng was, Zhuge Jin shouted sharply.

    "Fortunately, Liu Xuande got the land of Jingzhou with the help of my brother. Now my brother only asked for a Nanjun to save my family. Why is the general so shameless!?"

    Pan Fengfeng stared, pulled out the sharp sword from her waist, pretended to be furious and shouted.

    "Don't say any more! Otherwise, don't blame Pan for not having a face on the sword!!!"

    Zhuge Liang came to stop him angrily, and Sun Qian also persuaded him.

    "If the general wants to harm Zhuge Jin, it will not look good on the military advisor, and it will damage the relationship between the military advisor and the lord. I hope the general will calm down!!!"

    After hearing this, Pan Feng stopped his anger, looked sideways at Zhuge Jin, and said coldly with murderous intent.

    "Sun Bofu wants to take our southern county of Jingzhou without bloodshed. He is so cunning, how can he hide it from the world? If it weren't for the military advisor's sake today, I would teach you that you would not be able to return to Soochow!!!"

    Zhuge Jin looked ashamed. Zhuge Liang was in a dilemma and even started arguing with Pan Feng.  Pan Feng had a very tough attitude and refused to let go of the fact that Zhuge Jin, young and old, would be safe in exchange for Nan County.  Zhuge Liang was so angry that he roared repeatedly, and finally he was so angry that he fainted.  Everyone was panicked and hurriedly invited doctors to treat him.  The meeting broke up unhappy, and Zhuge Jin said goodbye, thinking that his younger brother Zhuge Liang, in order to preserve brotherhood, would not hesitate to turn against Pan Feng and break his skin.  If Liu Bei learns of this in the future, Zhuge Liang will never have an easy life in the future.  Moreover, Zhuge Liang is a loyal man. He once said that he would only serve one master in his life.  Zhuge Jin knew Zhuge Liang wellBecause of his temperament, he knew that Zhuge Liang would rather retire to the mountains and forests than switch to Sun Ce's command.

    Zhuge Jin was thinking and sighing.  At night, Zhuge Liang came to find him. He knelt down and told him that he was incompetent and could not save his elder brother and younger brother.  Zhuge Jin was kind-hearted by nature. Seeing Zhuge Liang's behavior, he was no match for his conscience, so he decided to retreat and spoke to Zhuge Liang.

    "Second brother, you don't have to be like this. You and I each serve our own masters, and we can't help ourselves. Don't bother me to worry about the affairs of the elders and children in my brother's family. I have my own plan to solve the problem.

    But now I see that my brother turned against Pan Wushuang because of his elder brother's affairs.  Pan Wushuang was Liu Xuande's sworn brother, and Liu Xuande would be separated from his brother because of this incident in the future.  My lord, Wuhou Sun Bofu, is the great lord of the time. He separatizes the east of the Yangtze River and controls the two states of Heyang and Jiao, as well as Changsha and Guiyang. He is powerful in the south of the Yangtze River.  Why don't you, my brother, switch to my lord's service? My lord will treat you with the courtesy of a national scholar!  "

    When Zhuge Liang heard this, he became furious and shouted sternly.

    "I would rather break up with Pan Wushuang for my brother's sake. But now my brother wants to trap Kong Ming into being unkind and unjust!! Don't mention this matter again, otherwise Kong Ming will definitely sever the brotherhood with his brother!!!"

    Seeing that Zhuge Liang was really furious, Zhuge Jin quickly comforted him softly.  After a while, Zhuge Liang's anger faded slightly and he spoke to Zhuge Jin.

    "Brother, please stay for a while. Let me think about it for a few days and come up with a complete plan. All the troubles in my brother's family are due to Kong Ming, and Kong Ming will never stand aside."

    Zhuge Jin had no choice but to stay in Jingzhou temporarily.  At this time, Cao Cao gathered troops and horses at the boundary between Jingzhou and Xiangyang. In Jingzhou, he saw the flags of Cao's army flying, the soldiers covering the sky and the sun, grain carts and equipment, and the water flowing like dragons.  Jingzhou Xizuo was shocked when he saw it and hurried back to Jingzhou to report to Zhuge Liang.

    Zhuge Liang heard the reward, but did not panic, so he asked the ministers in Jingzhou to discuss a good strategy.  At the same time, he sent people in the city to secretly spread rumors about Cao Cao's southern expedition.  When all the ministers heard this, they were all horrified.  Zhuge Liang smiled and said that his move had a profound meaning and there was no need to be suspicious.

    After a while, Sun Qian showed up and bowed his hands in ceremony.

    "I heard earlier that Cao Cao was gathering troops at the boundary of Hanoi, with great intention of conquering the northwest. Now he is gathering troops at the border of Xiangyang. Is it possible that Cao Cao wants to launch the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition at the same time?!"

    Hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled calmly, flicked his goose feather fan and said.

    "No. Cao Mengde has always been cautious in his actions. Although he is good at making clever plans, he always brings stability to the unexpected. In Liang's opinion, most of this is Cao Mengde's dubious strategy. He deliberately bluffed at the border in Hanoi to make us think that he was wholehearted.  Second, there is some relaxation. At this time, Cao Cao is mostly preparing for the southern expedition!"

    "How did the military advisor know?"

    Sun Qian¡¯s face condensed and he asked suspiciously.  Zhuge Liang exuded a convincing wisdom and spoke softly.

    "It is said that the three armies moved forward before the grain and grass were moved. According to the spies' reports, Cao Cao gathered heavy grains in Wan County for several days, and he must have a plot against Jingzhou. On the contrary, according to the previous spies' reports, Cao Cao saw only troops moving at the border in Hanoi, but no grain and grass arrived.  . According to this, it is known.¡±

    Zhuge Liang¡¯s analysis immediately convinced the ministers.  Kuai Yue hurriedly attended to remonstrate.

    "Cao Cao is in great power and is in dire straits to defeat the enemy. It is better to persuade Sun Ce of Soochow to help us and unite the two families to jointly resist Cao Cao!"

    After Kuai Yue finished speaking, Sun Qian's expression changed and he said.

    "There are many heroes in the east of the Yangtze River, and they must have far-sighted plans. Sun Ce has always been eyeing Jingzhou and is willing to send troops to help. What's more, now Sun Ce has sent his military advisor brother Zhuge Jin to capture Nanjun. If he doesn't return it, Sun Ce will definitely hold a grudge. I'm afraid that when he arrives,  At that time, Sun Ce not only did not send troops to help, but instead took advantage of the situation and captured Nanjun and Jiangxia counties!"

    As soon as Sun Qian said this, everyone secretly turned their eyes to Pan Feng, and then turned to Zhuge Liang, with strong worries in their eyes.  Zhuge Liang looked at Pan Feng, smiled, and said to everyone.

    "Don't worry too much, gentlemen. What happened the day before, between Liang and the two generals, was just a show. Now that Cao Cao wants to march south, Liang has a reason to appease Sun Ce."

    Zhuge Liang is very mysterious, as if he has already made up his mind.  Kuai Yue hesitated for a while and then spoke to persuade.

    "The matter is serious. Why don't the military advisors send a letter to the emperor to ask questions before making a final decision?"

    Zhuge Liang's bright eyes froze for a moment, he pointed at the sword mark on the case and said in a solemn voice.

    "Before my Lord entered Sichuan, I had already given instructions that all matters in Jingzhou could be decided by me alone. This sword seal was given by my Lord. Anyone who disagrees will be beheaded!!"

    As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Pan Feng held his hand on the hilt of his sword and glared at everyone with round eyes.  When Kuai Yue saw this, he did not dare to say anything.  Zhuge Liang then told everyone, but wait for a few days, and the situation will become clear in a few days.  All the ministers were suspicious and dispersed.

    But it was said that Zhuge Jin stayed in the hotel for several days and saw that the people in the city were in panic and there were many movements of soldiers and horses in the city.  Zhuge Jin had doubts in his heart and secretly searched forHis younger brother Zhuge Liang asked about it.  Zhuge Jin arrived at Zhuge Liang's residence. Zhuge Liang frowned deeply and welcomed Zhuge Jin into the hall. When Zhuge Jin asked, Zhuge Liang sighed.

    "Brother, I don't know something. Liang was thinking about his brother's family affairs, but he didn't know that a few days ago, he made a detailed report. Cao Cao gathered troops in Wan County, intending to send troops to the south. Liang was ordered by the emperor's uncle to guard Jingzhou.  I don't want to cause any harm to Jingzhou, so I neglected my brother's affairs. I hope you won't blame me."

    When Zhuge Jin heard that Cao Cao wanted to send troops south, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly knew it.

    "Do you know how big Cao's army is?!"

    Zhuge Liang was happy in his heart, but still looked troubled on the outside and replied.

    "According to the spies' reports, there are more than 200,000. However, Cao Cao separatized the Central Plains, occupied half of the country, and dominated the world. It is said that he has nearly a million minions under his command. Liang is afraid that these 200,000 soldiers are just here to visit me.  Jingzhou is weak and real. Cao Cao will gradually increase his troops in the future and seize all the land south of the Yangtze River before he can give up!"

    Zhuge Jin was shocked when he heard this and asked again.

    "If this is the case, do you have any strategies to fight against the enemy?"

    "I think I have a small army in Jingzhou, and there are strong enemies guarding both the front and the back. If Cao Cao really sends his troops southward, even if I join forces with Jingxiang and fight to the death, it will be difficult to stop him. What's more, Wuhou is in Jiangdong against Nanjun and Jiangxia.  , watching with eager eyes. In order to guard against Wu Hou, many of my troops will be sent away.

    "If Cao Cao really enters Jingzhou one day and slowly gathers millions of troops, he is afraid that all the land south of the Yangtze River will fall into Cao Cao's hands.  At this moment, who in the world can block his edge?  In this way, even if I have great ability, it is difficult to resist the power of Cao Cao's thieves!  "

    Zhuge Liang pretended to be sad and disheartened.  Zhuge Jin was flustered when he saw this. He was thinking a lot for a while. Suddenly an idea came up and he spoke to Zhuge Liang anxiously.

    "My lord, Sun Bofu, occupies the south of the world. He is well-equipped with soldiers and food. He respects the virtuous and courteous people very much. He is a hero in the Jiang Dynasty. Many people join him. Moreover, before, the two families of Sun and Liu joined forces to form an alliance. Why don't I go to Dongwu to form an alliance?"  , meet my lord and plan for something big together!"

    Zhuge Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he pretended to be hesitant.

    "But in recent years, the Marquis of Wu has been grudged against me in Jingzhou because of the incident in Nanjun. If I rush to Jiangdong, I'm afraid I won't be welcomed by the Marquis of Wu. What's more, my brother, I once led troops to fight against the Marquis of Wu, and many heroes from Jiangdong died in the war. This is  If we rush into Jiangdong, my life will be at risk if anything happens!"
