The north of the Yellow River is cold and frozen, the armor is bone-deep, and the horn arch is difficult to control.

In comparison, Wuling, south of the Yangtze River, is much better, although the temperature is lower in the morning and evening, but the midday sun is much warmer. Zhuge Liang and his soldiers were convinced that they would be able to take Wuling before the severe cold completely came.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were blocked in Xiangyang and Luo County respectively, and Liu Wei issued an order not to exchange human lives for land, so Zhuge Liang volunteered, and led 30,000 soldiers with Yang Qilang and Cheng Yanjin through the wetlands south of Dongting Lake, and appeared under Wuling City out of nowhere.

Fortunately, the Wuling guard general Lu Fan has not dared to slack off, nearly 300,000 Han troops attacked in three ways, and the offensive was like a tide, God knows which day after waking up, the Han army will appear under the city. Even if you go all out, you may not be able to defend the city, let alone be negligent and slack!

Faced with the sudden appearance of the Han army, Lü Fan led the two generals Bao Long and Chen Ying, who had just joined Sun Ce's command last year, and Sun Ce's uncle Sun Jing, and commanded 12,000 Sun troops to climb the city and defend it. Just when the Han army was attacking like a tide and Wuling was in danger, the 5,000 tribesmen of Shamoke raided the Han army from behind, relieving Wuling's urgent need.

Although these Wuxi barbarians were not fully armoured, their weapons were very suitable for mountain and forest warfare, and they were good at climbing, leaping and flying in the mountains around Wuling, coming and going. Zhuge Liang attacked Wuling City several times, and in the case of harassment behind the Wuxi barbarians, it was difficult to perform, so he could only order a retreat of ten miles, and Xu Tu broke the city.

The weather is getting colder in November, and although Wuling is located south of the Yangtze River, the vegetation has already withered. Snow and frost all over the ground.

When it was twilight, Cheng Biting Jin, who had just been patrolling outside, entered Zhuge Liang's handsome tent happily. He walked in front of Zhuge Liang in a strange posture, stretched out his hand and knocked on the table: "Kong Ming." Don't look at it, guess what gift I brought you? ”

Zhuge Liang put down the information in his hand, raised his hand to pick the wick of the bronze oil lamp on the table table brighter, and asked with a frown: "General Zhijie, why are you weird today?" It is said that there are people in the Wuxi barbarians who know the art of bewitchment, aren't you evil? ”

"Wowhaha...... Count you kid smart, I am the general of heaven to take your life, Kong Ming will die! ”

Cheng Biting Jin made an evil look. Let out a chilling laugh, stretched out a pair of fan-like palms, grabbed Zhuge Liang's shoulders at once, and lifted the fifteen-year-old Kong Ming from the round stool violently.

"Ah......" Kong Ming was shocked, "Come on, General Cheng Zhijie is evil, come in and hold him down!" ”

"General Cheng, don't make trouble, what should you do if you scare your husband?"

Seeing Cheng biting Jin fooling around, Huang Yueying, who was hiding behind him, couldn't hold back any longer. stood up and scolded Cheng Jin.

Rao is Kong Ming has an excellent IQ, but he is also confused: "Yueying, why are you here?" What kind of medicine are you and General Cheng selling in this gourd? ”

Huang Yueying, who has been born and has an outstanding temperament, wears a scarf and a light blue Confucian robe. At first glance, it looks like a down-and-out scholar. It's just that Zhuge Liang doesn't need to look at it, just by listening to the voice, he knows that it is his wife Huang Yueying, who has been separated for nearly half a year.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's questioning, Huang Yueying lowered her head and said with some grievances: "It will be my husband's birthday in a few days." Yueying came to Wuling to celebrate your birthday. ”

"Nonsense!" Although Zhuge Liang was moved by his wife's intentions, he refused to show the slightest expression on his face. said with a straight face: "Yueying, family members are not allowed to accompany the army in the army. Besides, my husband and I are the chief general of the three armies, and I must lead by example. Why did you come to Wuling without saying a word? ”

Huang Yueying fiddled with her wide sleeves, lowered her head and said, "I didn't plan to join the army, Yueying will leave after your birthday; Besides, when he was in Qingzhou, His Majesty once said that Yueying and her husband would be closer. Don't think that Yueying is a burden, maybe I can help my husband! ”

"That's it, even His Majesty said, why are you kid pretending not to be close to women?" Cheng bit Jin and helped Huang Yueying with a hippie smile, "Yueying's sister has come all the way to celebrate your birthday, can't you say a few words of gratitude?" It's really a dog biting Zhuge Liang, I don't know the hearts of good people! Sister Yueying, don't be afraid, if you really can't do it, you will divorce him, follow my brother and me, brother, I promise to hold you in the palm of my hand and feel distressed! ”

"What did General Cheng say!" Huang Yueying's face turned crimson with shame and lowered her head.

"Tease!" Zhuge Liang was ridiculed by Cheng Jinqi, and directly replied to his two-word scripture, "This is also what His Majesty said." ”

"Sister Yueying, you man swears!" Cheng Biting Jin crossed his hands on his hips, blew his beard and stared.

Huang Yueying covered her mouth and smiled: "Scold!" ”

Cheng bit Jin and stomped his feet, looking annoyed: "In the end, it's still close to your husband and wife, my good man has done it for nothing!" ”

As she spoke, she grimaced at Huang Yueying, "Sister Yueying, don't be tired of Kong Ming tonight, don't look at his young age, but he is the chief general of the three armies, the soul of the three armies, if he is tired of three long and two short, the soldiers will not agree!" Wow haha......! ”

Looking at the back of Cheng Biting Jin laughing and leaving, Huang Yueying was so ashamed that Xia Fei's cheeks flew away, and she lowered her head and said, "This Brother Cheng is really a big hooligan, it's really embarrassing to talk like this!" ”

Cheng Yanjin walked to the door and shouted to the tent guards; "Wait a minute, no one is allowed to enter the account tonight, and the sky is not allowed to disturb Kong Ming's good deeds when the sky falls!"

"No!"

Seven or eight soldiers patrolling with spears were so amused by Cheng Biting Jin that they all bared their teeth in agreement.

"Also, remember not to look at indecent things, and don't listen to indecent people! No matter what sounds are in the tent, you have to pretend that you didn't hear me, you know? Cheng Biting Jin put his hands behind his back and said with a sense of matter.

Kong Ming shook his head in the handsome tent and smiled bitterly: "Yueying, you are really right, this old Cheng is indeed a bit of a hooligan, it is estimated that the old man is also like this hanger!" But people don't have bad intentions, as long as he jokes and doesn't violate his face, it's still more righteous. General Shichiro has a straight temper, and as long as you don't treat him slowly, you will be able to serve you to the death. Working with these two generals, Ryo is in a very happy mood! ”

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "It's still husband who can coax people, I met General Cheng patrolling when I was on the road, and I followed him back!" ”

"Alas......" Zhuge Liang stroked Huang Yueying's hair, "It's not that my husband has the heart to say you, you have come all the way from Xiangyang to Wuling, in case there is an accident along the way, what should I do." ”

Huang Yueying smiled skillfully: "Don't worry, husband, I will put up a gossip array, and I can also get out of the gossip, I can turn around casually, and I can also turn the ordinary bandits into a daze, it is not easy to catch me." ”

"Do you mean that set of gossip arrays that my father-in-law taught you?" Zhuge Liang frowned and asked.

"Well......" Huang Yueying was a little proud, "Does the husband want to learn?" I'll teach you! ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "No need, let's let Liang comprehend a set of eight array diagrams, so that he can also exercise Liang's intelligence, which is much better than sitting back and enjoying his success." ”

The husband and wife chatted for more than half an hour, the night was gradually sinking, the north wind was cold outside the window, and the moon was bright. There is a way that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, look at the sky is not early, the husband and wife hug each other and sleep, a long drought is a rain, and you must linger and be tired.

In the early morning of the next day, winter rain fell in the sky, and the next rain did not stop, and Zhuge Liang had to stand still.

Just when Zhuge Liang was freshening up, Huang Yueying smiled and handed a soap ball to Zhuge Liang: "My husband washes his face with this, and it is clean and fragrant after washing." ”

"What is this?" Zhuge Liang took it and weighed it, only to see that it was the size of an orange, round and smooth, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Huang Yueying said a little proudly: "This is something I invented after mashing the honey locusts picked from the mountains with spices, and I named him 'soap ball', which is used to wash my face and wash my hands." ”

After Zhuge Liang finished using it, his intuition was refreshed, and he couldn't help but scratch the tip of Huang Yueying's nose: "The lady is smart, it seems that Liang has to study hard, otherwise I am afraid that I will be surpassed by you!" ”

The rain outside the tent kept dripping, Zhuge Liang inspected the barracks in the rain, lest Sun Jun take advantage of the rain to rob the camp, and only after confirming that nothing was wrong, did he return to the tent to chat with Huang Yueying. Cheng, Yang Erjiang, a partial general, and the lieutenant are also very knowledgeable, knowing that their young husband and wife are rarely reunited, so they don't bother, and let Kong Ming and his wife spend a while in the handsome tent.

The husband and wife chatted for a while, Zhuge Liang went to read the book of soldiers, and Huang Yueying, who had nothing to do, soaked the soap ball in water, and then blew up the soap bubbles in a wine glass.

"Yueying, what are you doing?" Zhuge Liang read the war book for a while, and was attracted by Huang Yueying's movements, so he put down the war book and walked in front of Huang Yueying to watch.

"Blow soap bubbles!" Huang Yueying, who had been moisturized, had a particularly delicate face, and smiled at her husband: "Why don't you blow it too?" ”

Zhuge Liang seemed to be a little distracted, and did not answer Huang Yueying's words, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and suddenly gave Huang Yueying a bear hug after a while: "Haha...... Great, that's great! Madam, I have thought of a way to break through the Wuling, thanks to your soap bubbles, I was inspired, as long as this thing is created, it must be a sure thing to take the Wuling! ”

"What does the husband want to make?" Huang Yueying, who was taken aback, was a little confused, and she didn't know what whimsy her husband suddenly had to come up with, so excited?

Zhuge Liang didn't answer Huang Yueying's question head-on, but turned around happily and ran outside the tent, not caring about the cold winter rain drenching his clothes, and ordered loudly to the soldiers outside the door: "Prepare a batch of bamboo grates, iron wires and kraft paper for me, and also prepare a batch of pine resin, I want to make a secret weapon!"
