Piao Tianwen    The Wu army was chasing the Shu army all the way, and the Shu Han barbarians were corpses everywhere and blood flowed into a river. Zhuge Zhan was panicked and led more than ten people to hide in a forest. Before he could breathe, he could hear the noise outside the forest. More than a dozen people looked at each other in horror.

When the people came into the forest, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the one who entered the forest was not someone else, but the barbarian general Meng Gan. When they saw Zhuge Zhan safe and sound, Meng Gan was very excited. He stepped forward and knelt down to apologize. Zhuge Zhan's eyes were red and said, "It was the general who was not good at calculating the harm. What is the general's fault?" After saying that, he helped Meng Gan up. There were fifty or sixty barbarian soldiers following Meng Gan, all of whom were covered in blood and scars like Meng Gan. Meng Gan looked at Zhuge Zhan carefully and was also damaged several times.[]

"We can only avoid this place for a while. If the general is in danger when the dawn is dawn, we will be willing to protect the general and escape along the water road and regroup." Meng Gan said with his fist.

Zhuge Zhan happily heard this and said, "The Wu people in Luling have a total of 40,000 to 50,000 troops. The nearby waterways must be empty. If you go south, you will be able to escape!"

The plan was decided, so Meng Gan led Zhuge Zhan to escape from the woods while the night was dark, looking for streams and rivers. There were countless Wu soldiers and generals searching for Shu army along the way. Zhuge Zhan and Meng Gan were both alert people, and they were still cautious and were safe and sound. Walking along the stream, it was time to turn white in the east. Since the Jiangdong Navy was in name only, the Wu people could only investigate and inspect the land at this water flow. Zhuge Zhan's inference was completely correct. The Wu army gathered such a large number of troops, and they would inevitably draw all the troops including the garrison inspecting hydrology.

It was already bright as we walked, but we met Meng Tong and hundreds of Shu troops. Zhuge Zhan was very happy to see this. Although there were many Wu troops, he felt a little safe with these three or four hundred people. Meng Tong was also happy to see Zhuge Zhan and his brother safe, so the three of them packed up the remaining troops and returned to Hainan.

Along the way, the three of them planned many plans to face the enemy. They did not expect that until Hainan, they would not be useful, but instead gathered five or six thousand troops. The defenders of various cities defeated by Zhu Yi and reinforcements sent by Deng Liang arrived one after another. Zhuge Zhan stationed on the border between Hainan and Luling for several days, while packing up the troops and inquiring about the movements of the Wu people.

It turned out that just as Zhu Yi left Kuaiji and came to attack Zhuge Zhan together, Tang Bin of Wu County raised his troops to invade Kuaiji again. Although the Wu general Zhong Limu who stayed in Kuaiji was steady, he was not an opponent in front of Tang Bin's cunning. However, Tang Bin had to seize two cities in a row in a few days. In desperation, Zhong Limu had to send someone to inform Zhu Yi to return to help. Kuaiji was the only remaining county in the eastern part of the Wu Kingdom, and Zhuge Zhan was also defeated, so Zhu Yi had no time to capture Zhuge Zhan and led his army back to Kuaiji.

As soon as Zhu Yi left, He Da, Deng Ju and Gu Rong had more than 20,000 people. In addition to defending various cities, the main force was only 15,000 and 6,000 people, and he did not dare to attack Hainan for a while. After all, Zhuge Zhan was the person who killed Ding Feng, and the lessons of the Nanhai County Magistrate Lu Xing had to be guarded against. If Zhu Yi had not organized three troops to attack Zhuge Zhan together, the outcome of the Wu army in Luling was still unknown.

After hearing the military situation, Zhuge Zhan nodded and said, "That way, Zhu Yi will have no time to clone his body in a short time, and can the troops be calculated?"

Meng Gandao: "There are more than 17,000 people in each group, but there are less than 6,000 defenders left behind in Hainan."

Zhuge Zhan hesitated for a moment and said, "It will be possible to arrive in just a few days to calculate the subsequent troops. It is okay to have a few soldiers here. We will send our military orders to prepare for the expedition!"

After the defeat, the barbarian army was in a state of terror. Before Zhuge Zhan could not regain his vitality, he forced his quest to Luling again. The generals were inevitably a little resistant. The war should not be taken a joke. Although Zhu Yi was not there, the defenders of Luling had already doubled, and when morale was in full swing, it seemed that there was a lot of inappropriate battle with defeated troops at this time. However, Zhuge Zhan was very strict in his military management and the barbarians took it as the main point. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to refute and question. Zhuge Zhan took everything in his eyes, took it in his heart, and planned to avenge the fight!

Zhu Yi led the Wu army back to Kuaiji at a speeding speed. After receiving the news, the Wei army in Kuaiji retreated without fighting. Wei general Tang Bin suffered several times under Zhu Yi, but he was not afraid of fighting Zhongli Mu, but he could not beat this Jiangdong general. Although Zhu Yi was able to defeat Tang Bin, Tang Bin was very cunning. He immediately let go of his hand when he found that the situation was wrong. It was extremely difficult to kill this person.

When Zhongli Mu saw Zhu Yi returning, he didn't care about the retreat of the Wei people. He had fought with Tang Bin for nearly two years, and the Wu army had long been accustomed to this. If Kuaiji's soldiers were not the strongest in Jiangdong, there was no danger to defend in Kuaiji's terrain. However, Zhu Yi alone fought and trained, he forced Kuaiji men to make steel and become a team with rapid action, strict discipline and strong combat effectiveness. For Kuaiji's military and civilians, Zhu Yi's exile to Kuaiji was a blessing for everyone, otherwise Kuaiji would have been occupied by the Wei army.

"If Tang Bin is not eliminated, it will be a big problem for us, alas!" Zhu Yi took off his helmet, and his own general helped him take off his armor, and couldn't help but sigh.

The old partner Zhong Limu sat down on the side and said, "This boy is really difficult. It is a good thing for Ji Wen to defeat the Shu army in this trip. Don't be disturbed by this boy." Most of the people present agreed with Zhong Limu's words. Shu Wei could still win such a victory under the pressure of advancing at the same time. Looking at Jiangdong, only Zhu Yi has this ability, and this is indeed worth celebrating - because there are too few things to celebrate.

Zhu Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's time for the men to have a good rest. Tonight we can celebrate to boost the morale of the military and civilians. But the two cities that Fang Zi has recaptured must be carefully guarded."

Zhonglimu laughed and said, "Ji Wen, you have a good rest tonight. I personally take people to guard the front, so there is no need to worry about this."

"What does Zigan say? The county is all relying on Zigan to resist the Wei army. How can I lose Zigan at the celebration banquet?" Zhu Yi said unhappily when he saw Zhong Limu say this.

Zhong Limu explained instead: "Ji Wen, you are running around continuously, and the children are also tired. It is natural to drink hard tonight. You and I shoulder heavy responsibilities, so the division of labor should be clear. You should drink it this time, and you can rotate next time, why fight?"

"Haha, what Zigan said is reasonable. The thief is cunning. We should put state affairs first. Then I will do my best." Zhu Yi saw Zhong Limu say this and said relievedly.

There is no need to mention the celebration overnight. Tang Bin saw that the Wu army was prepared and did not dare to come. Zhu Yi was far beyond his own use of troops, and this risk was really unbearable. The Wu army was also tired in fighting continuously, so they rested. Ten days later, Luling County indeed reported an emergency document, Zhuge Zhan sent troops back to win several consecutive victories, He Da and others were not Zhuge Zhan's opponents, so they came to Kuaiji to ask for help.

Zhu Yi and Zhong Limu looked at each other when they heard this. Zhong Limu couldn't help but ask: "The Shu army was defeated not long ago, and Luling also had a lot of troops. How can we lose in a row!?"

The envoy cried, "Since Lord Zhu left, my generals have been closely guarding against the Shu army. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Zhan went deep into the water and disguised himself as he took two cities in a row. Deng Ju and Gu Rong led his troops to rescue him and fell into the ambush of the Shu people. When our generals went to fight, the reinforcements of the Shu people also arrived. After a melee, he had to retreat to Nanchang... He also asked Lord Zhu to go to rescue quickly, but Nanchang would be in danger!"

"Well... Zhuge Zhan is worthy of being the son of Zhuge Wuhou. Luling's troops are concentrated in the city, and there must be few people guarding both sides of the waterway. Advancing from here can indeed bring about the effect of strange soldiers." Zhu Yi couldn't help but nod and praised Zhuge Zhan.

Zhong Limu was not concerned about his old partner's performance and asked anxiously: "How many people are there in Nanchang City, and how many people are there in Shu?"

The messenger said, "There were 13,400 people before the small one left the city, and there were 30,400 people in front of the Shu army."

Zhu Yi nodded and said, "In a short time, the Shu army has increased its troops again, which is indeed difficult. Nanchang City is strong, and He Dazhi can have tens of thousands of people in his hands to protect him. There is no need to be so urgent." After saying that, he looked at Zhonglimu.

Zhongli Mu understood and agreed: "The Wei army retreated shortly after this, and the thief general Tang Bin was very cunning. He could not withdraw troops for the time being. I am afraid that the reinforcements should be carefully planned and discussed."
