Chapter 290: Capture Zhuge Liang alive
The garrison soldiers of Taishan County were panic-stricken. During the battle to defend the city, the 30,000 garrison soldiers were killed and wounded thousands by Le Yi's army.
Le Yi's army is attacking fiercely. If the cost is not considered, the city can be captured within ten days.
Xuzhou Muchu Zimou even issued an ultimatum to the defenders in the city. As long as they surrendered the city, they would receive three hundred taels of gold and could also serve as county magistrate.
Chutian's ultimatum intensified the conflict within the Taishan County garrison.
"Fenggao County can no longer be defended. If we continue to follow the prefect and defend it, the city will be destroyed and people will die. It is better to betray the prefect and have a bright future for our brothers."
The stranger guarding one of the city gates was finally moved.
You don't have to die, you can still be an official and get a lot of gold. Comparing the two, people can't help but choose the latter.
"If the brothers agree, we will open the city gate and welcome Xuzhou Mu into the city."
The alien generals guarding the city glanced at the group of men. Their expressions of fear of death were equivalent to acquiescence in dedicating the city.
"We are not afraid of attacking the city, but we are afraid of attacking the heart."
Cao Gian became even more worried when he saw that Le Yi's army, which had previously attacked Fenggao County, suddenly stopped its offensive.
The Leyi Legion has exerted enough pressure on the defenders. Now the Leyi Legion is obviously waiting for the defenders in the city to collapse.
"How am I going to survive?"
The prefect of Taishan County asked Cao GUI anxiously.
Cao GUI replied: "Abandoning the city and fleeing, or massively suppressing the strangers in the city who want to rebel, maybe we can hold on for a longer period of time."
The prefect of Taishan County was silent.
During the fermentation period of the alienation plan, Le Yi's army was able to rest and recuperate.
Hua Mulan came over and asked, "My lord, why don't you continue to attack the city? Once they are given time to reinforce the city, the attack will be even more difficult."
"Within two or three days, there will be an internal response in the city, so there is no need to attack the city."
Chutian trusted the judgment of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and when the two of them cooperated, they would make favorable decisions.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's alienation plan did not mean that the previous strong attack by Le Yi Legion was meaningless. On the contrary, without the previous fierce offensive of Le Yi Legion on the city, the effect of the alienation plan was minimal.
Le Yi's army proved to the defenders that they had the ability to capture the city, but they were just unwilling to kill or injure too many troops.
Hua Mulan said calmly: "Oh."
"You stay and warm the bed, this is an order."
"..."
Since Hua Mulan came looking for her on her own initiative, it was impossible for Chu Tian to let her go. Chu Tian even suspected that she knew what she was asking and deliberately sent her to his door.
After spending several years with Xia Liang, Hua Mulan gradually became enlightened in this aspect and learned to take the initiative to attack.
Chu Tian, who was in the upper hand, remained calm and composed under the city. Several rebellions had broken out in the city due to simple alienation schemes. Many strangers openly launched rebellions in order to survive and become rich.
The prefect of Taishan County and Cao GUI tried their best to suppress these rebellions.
However, as the deadline for Chutian's ultimatum is approaching, the scale of the rebellion in the city is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are joining the ranks of the rebellion.
Finally, a city gate opened wide and a white flag was erected on the city gate tower, surrendering to the attacking Xuzhou army.
To be cautious, Chu Tian sent a group of servants to attack the city.
Even if the other party deliberately feigned surrender and the entire army of servants was wiped out, Chu Tian would not feel any distress at all.
The garrison in the city was divided into two factions. The soldiers of the main fighting faction who were loyal to the prefect fought their way out of another city gate and fled into the mountains.
As for the rebel surrender faction, they laid down their weapons and tied their hands.
"The prefect and Cao GUI have abandoned the city and fled. They are not pretending to surrender."
"Send troops to chase them immediately! If you encounter Zhuge's family, be sure to capture them alive!"
Chu Tian was worried that the governor of Taishan County would be defeated, so he took Zhuge's family away.
In fact, Chu Tian did not need to worry. The rebellion at the city gate was too sudden. The Taishan County governor and Cao GUI were anxious to save their lives and had no time to take away Zhuge's family and hurriedly rushed out of the city.
Now the Zhuge family is trapped in the county government office. The city is in chaos and there are shouts of killing everywhere, but they dare not leave the county government office easily.
The sound of weapons clashing was heard near the county government office. Zhuge Liang grabbed the corner of Zhuge Jin's clothes, accompanied by his young brother and sister.
"A bunch of rabble!"
Flying General Li Guang kicked a guard away and knocked open the gate of the county government office.
Behind Li Guang is a group of fierce-looking soldiers.
As Li Guang led a dozen soldiers into the county government office for inspection, Zhuge Jin, holding a long sword, stood in front of his younger siblings and looked at the burly Li Guang warily.
Li Guang was more than 1.8 meters tall, with thick and long arms. He was wearing Mingguang armor, holding a Huanshou sword in his hand, and carrying a big bow on his back. His eyes were red with murderous intent.
Zhuge Jun and his two sisters were frightened by Li Guang's momentum and couldn't help crying.
Zhuge Liang, who was only eight years old, was not intimidated by Li Guang, but stared at the fierce Li Guang.
"Little bastards, are you Zhuge Gui's children? If I catch you, I can receive the reward."
Li Guang still didn't know that he looked particularly like a villain now, with blood on his armor.
The young Zhuge Jun and his two younger sisters cried louder.
Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang continued to glare at Li Guang, regarding Li Guang as their enemy.
"General Li Guang, please step back and don't scare the children."
Hua Mulan led her troops to the county government office. She heard crying coming from the county government office. When she came in, she saw Li Guang, who was holding a knife, "bullying" several children, so she quickly stopped them.
She put away the Tang Dao and came to the two little girls of the Zhuge family. After squatting down, she asked softly: "Sister is not a bad person. You will be safe."
Zhuge Liang asked in a childish tone: "Is my sister a subordinate of Xuzhou Mu? What does Xuzhou Mu plan to do with us?"
Hua Mulan was a little surprised by the child's calmness: "Are you a descendant of the Langya Zhuge family?"
"Exactly!"
"We adults plan to send you back to Langya Country. Taishan County is not a place to stay for a long time after all. If you believe in my sister, then come with me."
Hua Mulan knew that Chu Tian wanted to capture the Zhuge family alive, raised them from babies, and took the initiative to persuade them to return to Langya Kingdom.
Zhuge Liang nodded seriously: "I believe in sister."
Zhuge Jin simply weighed the pros and cons. Now that Taishan County is in chaos, they are unable to leave on their own. If what Hua Mulan said is true, they can still return to their hometown of Yangdu County in Langya Kingdom to farm.
So the Zhuge family, which was left with only a group of children, was abducted by Hua Mulan.
Recently, the frosty Hua Mulan has gradually melted away, and her affinity has greatly increased. Coupled with the sharp contrast between the fierce and vicious Li Guang, it is easy to abduct the Zhuge family.
Li Guang, who was wary of Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang and others, was depressed.
Do you even look at the faces of children?
Human nature is evil.
Li Guang sighed in his heart and continued to hunt down the defenders who were still resisting.
"Taishan County has been obtained. I need a general to guard this place and cut off the connection between Cao Cao and Mr. Zhao."
When Chu Tian entered the city, he was faced with the problem of selecting the Taishan County governor.
After driving away the original Taishan County Governor, Chutian could appoint his own candidate for the Governor.
Xuzhou Mu was not qualified to decide on the candidate for the Taishan Prefecture of Yanzhou, but these were troubled times and the court's prestige was greatly lost. Chutian could decide on the candidate for the prefect as long as he symbolically submitted his petition to the court controlled by Dong Zhuo and Jiujiu Lao Qin.
Who to send to guard Taishan County needs to be carefully considered.
"Lord."
Hua Mulan hugged a little girl and held another little girl with her other hand, and took the initiative to come to Chu Tian, making Chu Tian suddenly feel like a dream.
This strong sense of déjà vu…
His attention shifted to the three people following Hua Mulan, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Jun, who were all captured by Chu Tian.
Not only that, Zhuge Liang's two sisters were also captured alive by Chu Tian.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were following Chu Tian, were also looking at the three brothers Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun.
The two famous prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty had a historic encounter with the famous prime ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty, but now Zhuge Liang is just a little kid, while Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are already sophisticated.
"This person is the minister left to Quanzi, and he will need to be trained more by the two of you in the future."
Chu Tian whispered to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
He did not expect Zhuge Liang to be put to use within ten years. No matter how powerful Zhuge Liang was, he still had to accumulate experience. Not everyone is a genius at birth.
Chu Tian can't use it, but he can leave it to his son.
After Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui understood Chu Tian's intention, they were surprised by Zhuge Liang, who was regarded as the successor by Chu Tian, and looked at Zhuge Liang with their eyes.
Zhuge Liang suddenly received the attention of three big men who looked like wolves and tigers. After all, he was timid as a child and hid behind Zhuge Jin.
Zhuge Liang did not expect that Chu Tian had already planned to ask Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to cultivate him well and make him his son's first assistant.
Throughout the ages, how many people have been qualified to be students of prime minister-level figures like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui at the same time?
"Please rest assured, lord, we will definitely have strict requirements on him."
Fang Xuanling's promise made Zhuge Liang live a miserable life.
Chu Tian still can't make Zhuge Liang loyal. An eight-year-old kid probably doesn't even know what loyalty is.
Zhuge Jin was also a talented person. He rose to the rank of general in the power of Sun Wu and led the shepherds of Yuzhou.
Zhuge Jin started his official career a few years earlier than Zhuge Liang, and it is estimated that he could become Chu Tian's staff after a few more years.
"You will live in Xiacheng for the time being, and I will make arrangements for you. You don't have to worry about food and clothing, just study hard. These two are your teachers."
Chu Tian forcibly arranged teachers for the Zhuge family.
The only elder in the Zhuge family is Zhuge Xuan (Zhuge Liang's uncle). Zhuge Xuan is currently serving under Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
Zhuge Xuan was supposed to have brought Zhuge Liang and others to Jingzhou, but since he was intercepted by Chu Tian, Chu Tian would not hand over Zhuge Liang and others no matter what.
If Zhuge Xuan comes to ask for Zhuge Liang, Chu Tian will only shamelessly detain Zhuge Xuan.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not uncommon to forcibly detain talents.
Zhuge Jin saw that Chu Tian was willing to support his family. Although he knew Chu Tian's intention, he still thanked him: "I'm sorry for bothering you, Mr. Zhou Mu."
He then said to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui: "The two gentlemen can follow Lord Zhou Mu. They must be talented people. If they can accept us as disciples, they are willing to lead the way."
The Zhuge family is truly extraordinary.
Chu Tian knew that Zhuge Jin, who understood the world, had decided to seek refuge with him.
Chutian is one of the most powerful princes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he is also the governor of Xuzhou. The place where he started is the Langya Kingdom. The Zhuge clan of Langya is naturally inclined to support him.
"Zhuge Liang, why don't you meet your two teachers?"
At this time, Zhuge Liang did not have the nickname "Kong Ming", so he directly called him Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang was forced by Chu Tian's majesty and had to follow his elder brother to recognize Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui as his teachers.
Although Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were born later than Zhuge Liang in history, they had their own order of learning and specialization in the arts, and there were not so many rules.
"There are also some great scholars like Lu Zhi and Cai Yong in Xiacheng. You can usually talk to them about knowledge."
Chu Tian used the names of Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other Eastern Han scholars familiar to Zhuge Jin to make Zhuge Jin live in Xia City with all his heart.
As long as Zhuge Jin lives in Xiacheng, his younger brothers and sisters Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun will definitely stay in Xiacheng.
Sure enough, Zhuge Jin learned that Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other great scholars were in Xiacheng, so he readily agreed.
Zhuge Liang glanced at Chu Tian with some fear, and was somewhat curious about Xuzhou Mu who had captured Taishan County.
If it weren't for the opinions of Xia Liang and Hua Mulan, Chu Tian might recognize Zhuge Liang as his adopted son, which seems quite interesting.
Chu Tian waved to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was a little resistant but still came to Chu Tian and bowed to Chu Tian: "Master Zhou Mu, is there something wrong?"
"If you have the opportunity in the future, would you like to be an official?"
"Brother, I have something to say. Our ancestors were Sili Xiaowei. If we can become the governor, we will be the lintel of our family."
"Hahaha."
Chu Tian couldn't help but laugh.
Zhuge Jin thought Zhuge Liang's truthful answer made Chu Tian dissatisfied, and secretly felt a cold sweat for Zhuge Liang.
"Your ambition is too small. What kind of governor should you be? If you want to be, just be the prime minister, the prime minister of the world."
Chu Tian's words gave Zhuge Liang a blow to the head.
Not only Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Jin was even more shocked. Xuzhou Mu has the ambition to annex the world, and he is by no means willing to be a Zhou Mu!
"If you work for me in the future, the reputation of the Langya Zhuge clan will be even greater. Being as good as our ancestors is not something to be thankful for. Only by surpassing our ancestors can we say that we are promising."
"Beyond the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are many civilizations. Why not conquer the barbarians, seal the wolf as a vassal, and conquer the Yanran and the stone, so that the name will go down in history?"
Chu Tian's words seemed to have magic power, and Zhuge Jin, who was only fifteen years old, was inevitably affected.
In Chu Tian's view, a governor is nothing. If you want to truly make achievements and be famous in history, you must seal the wolf as a subordinate and swallow the stone!
Zhuge Jin said respectfully: "I understand."
Zhuge Liang nodded as if he understood.
Chu Tian did not want to encourage the young people to develop, and Zhuge Liang still needed ten years to cultivate them.
After occupying Taishan County, Chutian selected officials and temporarily left Li Guang to guard the city.
Historically, Li Guang guarded the border and served as the governor for many years. It is not surprising that he was appointed as the governor of Taishan County at this time.
Chu Tian originally thought that he had enough generals, but when he actually used them, he was still stretched thin.
In fact, he already has more generals than most princes, but he just needs to leave people for defense everywhere.
In contrast, Yuan Shu's situation was even worse. His vanguard general Qiao Rui was killed by Yang Ye, so he had to send Zhang Xun as general to supervise Pei's vanguard army.
