Baidi City Palace.
"Prime Minister, this is a deserter that the general caught on the road." The leader stood up and said. It was none other than Zhao Yun who went to Shimen Mountain to help him that day.
There is a person kneeling down in the hall. It is our protagonist Li Xian. Not to mention raising his head, he is just a quasi-college student who has just taken the college entrance examination and went on a trip to relax. How could he have seen such a scene? He can only kneel down in the hall. , trembling with fear.
"Since he is a deserter, why doesn't General Zilong deal with it on his own? Why did he bring him here?" A voice that was clear but still had a sense of vicissitudes of life came from the hall.
Li Xian wanted to raise his head so much. This was the legendary Zhuge Liang. He was a leading soldier, and he didn't know what he said, but he was brought to the side hall of the palace by Zhao Yun.
"The general just thought that this person's words were very interesting. He said that he had expected that your majesty would be defeated, and that the prime minister would be here." Zhao Yun said with cupped hands.
Unexpectedly, the people in the hall just sighed slightly and said: "Such a villain is good at discussing military affairs and should be killed. Why doesn't General Zilong kill him?"
"Prime Minister, this person also said some shocking truths. I will judge that this person must have some talents."
"What's the point?"
Zhao Yun then explained what Li Xian had said in a hurry about the time, place, people, and the impermanence of soldiers, power, and water.
The people in the hall were speechless for a long time. Suddenly, there was a loud noise and countless soldiers surged around. Li Xian was even more panicked. Could he really want to kill me?
"Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Who did you learn from, and why do you have this opinion?" someone in the hall asked.
"Prime Minister...I am a member of General Fu Tong's subordinates. I often listen to General Fu's teachings in the army, so I say this."
Unexpectedly, the people in the hall burst into tears when they heard this, "General Fu is really the pillar of the Han Dynasty. Our army has lost the pillar of the sky this time!"
Everyone around him started sobbing. Li Xian was curious and secretly turned his head to see. Unexpectedly, before he could raise his head, the people in the hall spoke again: "After General Fu Tong resigned, except for you, all the soldiers fought hard and fought hard." He died, still cursing Wu Dog before he died, but his loyalty can be revealed by the sun and the moon."
Li Xian was shocked. To be honest, he had not seen the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on that battlefield with his own eyes, but he escaped early after Yiling completely turned into a hell of massacre of 80,000 people. In order to survive here, he had to use the name General Fu.
"Raise your head," the person in the hall said.
"Yes." Li Xian replied, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw Zhao Yun's tiger eyes, and he lowered his head again in fright.
"Since you have been taught by General Fu, let me ask you a question about the soldiers. If you can answer fluently, I will allow you to join General Zhao's camp as a general. If you cannot answer, you will be killed as a deserter." Zhuge Liang said.
"Yes, Prime Minister." Li Xian's heart moved slightly.
"How should our army handle the current situation in a safe manner?" Zhuge Liang's first question was raised directly.
"Prime Minister, our ten-year-old army has been wiped out in one day. It is time to retreat to central Sichuan, abandon the land of Jingzhou, and continue to join forces with Wu to fight Cao Cao. If our army retreats to Chengdu, Lu Xun will definitely come to pursue it. We can send someone to write a book In the name of Prime Minister, Lu Xun will definitely withdraw his army." Li Xian replied. I thought to myself, isn't this your original operation? I can just repeat it.
"How do you know Lu Xun will retreat?" Zhuge Liang continued to ask.
"Sun Quan once surrendered to the Wei Dynasty in order to protect himself. However, after winning this battle, he will definitely not accept it. Cao Pi has newly ascended the throne and is full of vigor. He will definitely launch an army to attack Wu. However, I predict that at this time, the thunder will be loud and the rain will be light, which will serve as a deterrent. It works." Li Xian replied.
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Okay, let me ask you the third question. If the Wei army invades our country, how will we defend it?" Zhuge Liang asked the last question unhurriedly.
"So that the Prime Minister will know that if the Wei State fails to attack Wu, it will inevitably invade. If my prediction is correct, there should be a five-pronged army." Li Xian secretly smiled, An Juping five-pronged army, even elementary school students know this.
"Tell me, which five armies are there?" Zhuge Liang asked in surprise.
"First, he will send envoys to the south, promising Meng gold, silver, money, and silk to raise an army. Second, he will send Shangyong Mengda to raise an army. Third, Cao Zhen will come with his own army. Fourth, I will unite with Sun Quan to raise another army, and fifthly, I will contact the Qiang and Hu people to raise troops from the west." Li Xian replied calmly, no longer as timid as before, knowing in his heart that meeting the prime minister is the only way he can Opportunities to excel in the military.
"According to what you said, wouldn't my big man be in danger of national subjugation?" Zhao Yun looked hesitant after hearing this.
Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "General Zilong, if Wei really says this, he will indeed be able to destroy our great Han Dynasty."
"Prime Minister, that's not the case. General Fu always taught us to pay attention to the right time, place and people. If our army sticks to Xichuan and the whole country works together to defend against foreign enemies, this will be harmonious. The land of Xichuan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This will be the geographical advantage. Cao Zhen is good at using cavalry. , if a large army attacks, it will definitely be winter, when the ice and snow will cover the cavalry, and it will be difficult for the cavalry to take advantage of it. This is the right time, and our army will definitely be able to defeat it." Li Xian responded calmly again.
Zhuge Liang nodded and immediately waved his hand to signal the surrounding soldiers to retreat. "Honestly, were you taught by General Fu Tong?" Zhuge Liang asked again.
"The official is frightened. It was indeed General Fu Tong who taught me." Li Xian could only continue to bow his head and answer forcefully.
"What you said reminds me of an old friend." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.
But someone stood up from the audience: "The Prime Minister is talking about Sima Zhongda, right?"
Li Xian knelt down and looked at this person secretly. He could only use his peripheral vision to see that his face was like a crown jewel and his appearance was quite heroic. He looked like a scholar.
"Youchang, if this man is in Wei, it will be difficult for us to plan. If I were Sima Yi, I would have sent out all the five armies just now, and I would even have to lead my own cavalry to replace them. If Cao Zhen is defeated, we will really be in danger." Zhuge Liang looked at the scholar and sighed.
It turns out to be Ma Su, Li Xian thought, but he seemed to look down on this person.
"Well, congratulations to General Zilong for getting such a talented person. I didn't expect that you are nearly forty years old and it's really gratifying to meet this person." Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yundao.
Zhao Yun immediately raised his hands and said, "Prime Minister, can this person be of great use?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "If Zilong doesn't like him, can I take him under his sect?"
"Hahaha, what did the Prime Minister say? I, Zhao, will definitely cultivate the talents that the Prime Minister likes. I want to take him as my disciple. What does the Prime Minister think?" Zilong cupped his hands.
"Zilong is sarcastically talking to me again. How can I not be envious of you for getting such a beloved disciple? Your army knows that you and I will have to be together." Zhuge Liang said with a sneer.
I heard a shout coming from outside the side hall, "Your Majesty has a decree. Prime Minister Xuan and General Huwei Zhao Yun go to the main hall to discuss matters!"
"You go back and rest first. I will send someone to call you later." Zhao Yun said to Li Xian, who was still kneeling.
...
Li Xian returned to the military camp and saw that almost all the wounded sergeants were around him. Some even had their faces so burned that they were deformed and unrecognizable. There was only endless silence in the entire military camp, and no one took the lead to break this silence. Embarrassing, the probability of an uninjured soldier like Li Xian is simply one in ten thousand.
He had no choice but to quietly find a bed at the edge and lie down, thinking in his mind, how wonderful it would be if he could really stand out from these soldiers instead of relying on life and death on the battlefield. After all, the process from his own journey to the college entrance examination I am a good citizen myself, I have never participated in these things, and I don’t even dare to think about these things.
However, fantasy is wonderful. Now that I have become a soldier, how can I not go to the battlefield to risk life and death and fight to the death?
"It's a pity that I couldn't kill a few more Wu dogs, otherwise my broken arm would have been worth it!" A veteran in the camp spat, taking the lead in breaking the silence in the camp.
"You just lost your arm. Look at the rest of us. Which one of us doesn't have burn marks on our body?" said another sergeant who was applying medicine on his back with his back open.
"Let's just say that everyone is somewhat injured, at least some of them are okay. Look at those brothers who have been separated from each other, and how lucky we are?" the veteran continued.
"Where are you from? I don't think your martial arts skills are inferior to those of the generals?" replied the soldier who was applying medicine.
"To be honest, I turned out to be a sergeant under General Guan. On the day of the Wu army's surprise attack, General Guan couldn't bear that my family and I were all in the city, so he let me go home. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived in the city, my mother yelled at me and started yelling at me. He was killed at home." The veteran started sobbing as he spoke.
Li Xian lay on his side, his thoughts moving slightly, and he could only pretend not to hear them. After a while, the military camp became miserable and miserable. Rao was impatient and fell asleep in an instant.
When I woke up again, I was indeed awakened by the chirping of cicadas in the evening. The originally chirping military tents around me were now quiet, with only a few sergeants patrolling in front of the door still wandering around.
"Can't sleep?"
Li Xian was startled. How could there be a woman's voice in such a military tent? He immediately followed the sound and saw a woman in coarse linen clothes. He couldn't say how good-looking she was. She looked like an ordinary woman. She was holding a big basin in one hand and a basket in the other. Carrying a jar of medicine and carrying a large basket behind his back, he was obviously an accompanying military medical officer.
"You are the only uninjured soldier. It seems that you should be very powerful." The woman said with a smile, without stopping the work of making medicine in her hands, turned around and walked towards the boiler.
"Why is it so powerful without being injured?" Li Xian was puzzled for a moment and asked.
"General Zhao Yun has never been injured in battles. He has always been covered with other people's blood. I think you must be a powerful soldier." The female medical officer replied casually.
"Hahaha, there is no reason for soldiers to not be injured when they are in battle." Li Xian smiled, turned around and ignored him.
"Are you Li Xian?" A sergeant came to report in a hurry, "General Zhao wants to see you by name. Come with me quickly."
"Okay!" Li Xian was inexplicably excited.
