Chapter 231: More than just heads
When Zhuge Ke led the army to Anfeng, he met the depressed Tang Shi and Liuzan, and when he asked about the situation, he couldn't help but be furious, and ordered the knife and axe hand to push Tang Shi and Liuzan out and behead him.
Not to mention that Tang Shi and Liuzan looked confused, even the generals in the army were taken aback, and hurriedly advised them to keep people under the knife.
Although Zhuge Ke is strict in governing the army, he is still relatively tolerant of his subordinates, Tang Shi and Liuzan, as the vanguard of the account, have also made many meritorious contributions, although they lost the battle this time, but the crime is not to death.
However, since Zhuge Jin's death, Zhuge Ke's temperament has changed greatly, and he kills people at every turn, and because of trivial things this day, he has killed several people, which makes the people around him tremble, and everyone is in danger, for fear that if he is not careful, his head will fall to the ground.
However, the people killed before have a low status, so no one cares, but Tang Shi and Liuzan are different, they are generals in the army, how can they say kill?
The generals pleaded for mercy to Tang Shi and Liuzan, Zhuge Ke was still angry, although he did not ask for the heads of two people, but he still had to avoid the death crime, and the living crime could not be escaped, and one person beat a hundred military sticks as a punishment.
Zhuge Ke's temper was not so irritable, but after learning of Zhuge Jin's death, his whole temperament changed greatly, especially after seeing his father's headless corpse, Zhuge Ke was about to go berserk.
If you really talk about the relationship between father and son, in fact, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke are not very harmonious, Zhuge Ke is smart and smart, but in Zhuge Jin's opinion, he is a little too smart, so Zhuge Jin often sighed, Ke is not very prosperous in my family, and the big Chiwu clan is also.
Because of this, Zhuge Jin often did not forget to beat Zhuge Ke, so that he could be more self-contained, not to be smart and exposed, and to get carried away.
The relationship between Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke belongs to the kind of situation where the father is strict and the son is wise, Zhuge Ke also has great respect for his father, and in front of his father, he always follows the rules, keeps to himself, and does not dare to make a mistake at all.
Now that his father died suddenly at the hands of Cao Liang, how can he not be grieved and indignant, and he can't wait to break Cao Liang's body into thousands of pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.
So as soon as he heard that the Wei army defected to An Feng and left, Zhuge Ke led the army to chase after Cao Liang all the way, wanting to chase and kill Cao Liang halfway, and promised a huge reward.
Half of the Zhuge family's assets plus the title of the Marquis of Qianhu are mouth-watering just by listening to it, and it is no wonder that Tang Shi and Liuzan rushed to the front desperately, wanting to get this bounty.
But the result was unexpected, instead of beheading Cao Liang, Tang Shi and Liuzan suffered a big defeat and fled back in disgrace, how could this not make Zhuge Ke angry.
Tang Shi and Liuzan lost not only some soldiers and horses, but the morale of the entire Wu army, and now the Wu army's call for revenge for Zhuge Jin is very high, passionate and angry, and the fighting spirit is high, as a result, Tang Shi and Liuzan are defeated, and the morale of the Wu army is lost.
After beating two hundred military sticks each, Zhuge Ke's anger was still reduced, and he ordered Wu soldiers to arrive at Anfeng City and attack the city overnight, without stopping for a moment.
All the generals have a difficult face, they haven't fought in this Anfeng City, and they have been attacking for a few days in a row just now, isn't this just withdrawn? Moreover, from Anfeng City to Anfeng Ferry and back to Anfeng City, the Wu army was simply marching continuously, almost never resting, and now it is in a state of exhaustion.
Even if it is in its heyday, it is not easy to take down An Feng, not to mention that there is no one who attacks the city overnight, it is dark and numb, I am afraid that the loss will be greater.
But all the generals looked at each other, and no one dared to mention it, Zhuge Ke was angry, and whoever mentioned it was unlucky.
General Lu stepped forward to dissuade him: "General Zhuge is angry, our army has been rushing for days, and the army is tired, if we attack the city overnight, it will only increase casualties." The last general knew that the general was eager for revenge, and early tomorrow morning, the last general personally led a large army to attack the city, swearing to take Cao Liang's head and avenge the general. ”
Lu Ju is the son of Lu Fan, a famous minister of Eastern Wu, and the Lu family and the Zhuge family have a good relationship, so Lu Ju's words still have some weight, Zhuge thought for a while, this overnight siege is indeed not a good way, so he suppressed his emotions and ordered the troops to set up camp and attack Anfeng City tomorrow.

After the Wei army entered the city, Wang Ji finally saw Xiahou Xuan lying in the carriage, Xiahou Xuan couldn't get up, and said with a ashamed face: "Wang Taishou, I was originally ordered to come to the rescue of An Feng, but I didn't expect to see Wang Taishou in such a situation, I am ashamed." ”
Wang Ji said with relief: "General Xiahou is fighting for the country, unfortunately he was injured, and now in Anfeng City, General Xiahou only needs to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and the matter of retreating from the enemy will be handed over to the lower officials." ”
With Xiahou Xuan's current physical condition, he is indeed unable to assume the position of command, he nodded slightly, originally they fled to Anfeng to seek protection, but now I am afraid they can only rely on Wang Ji.
Wang Ji asked Xiahou Xuan to settle in the Taishou Mansion, vacated his bedroom for Xiahou Xuan to live in, and arranged for the maids to serve him wholeheartedly.
He himself, together with Cao Liang and Ren Lan, boarded the city and dispatched troops to guard against an overnight sneak attack by the Wu army.
As for the southern army, they were temporarily placed in private houses in the city, eating and resting.
There will definitely be a series of vicious battles next, Wang Ji naturally knows it, a few days ago, the Wu army continued to attack the city, which has exhausted An Feng's defenders, this time it will attack again, I am afraid that the offensive will be better than before, but fortunately, there are 15,000 southern troops to join the defense, which makes Wang Ji a little relieved.
Not far from the city, the Wu army has already set up camp and set up camp, and the camp is dozens of miles, and the lights are bright, just looking at this formation is enough to make people gasp.
Cao Liang said: "Wang Taishou must be prepared, the attack of the Wu army tomorrow is probably extremely fierce." ”
Wang Ji smiled quite confidently and said: "It's not a secret, the Wu army has already attacked Anfeng City several times a few days ago, and there is Ben who personally supervises the battle, so they don't want to break the city." ”
Cao Liang said: "This time is different from the past, Zhuge Ke personally led the troops, and Wang Taishou didn't dare to be careless." ”
Wang Ji said suspiciously: "The first few times the Wu army came to attack, it was also the soldiers led by Zhuge Ke, would it be different?" ”
Cao Liang smiled slightly and said, "Dead dad and not dead dad, can it be the same?" ”
Wang Ji then remembered the head, daring to love that Zhuge Ke came to avenge his father this time, with personal hatred, he must be desperate, Wang Ji faintly had a headache, Cao Liang brought more than just a head, but Zhuge Ke's anger, this battle is really a little difficult to fight.
