The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 398: No matter how good your eloquence is, it’s useless

Lingling, Zhuge Liang strode into the hall, his face full of joy.

Guan Yu received news that Qin Shou's central army flag appeared in Dangyang. He wanted to go to Dangyang to meet Qin Shou. It would be best if he could scold the opponent on the battlefield to show his own strength.

"My lord, the Qin thieves have been fooled. The main force of the Cavalry has arrived in Dangyang." Zhuge Liang said loudly: "I am going to Dangyang to meet the Qin thieves."

"Military Advisor, the Qin bandits are brave and Dangyang is dangerous. It is better for you to be careful." Liu Bei was a little worried.

Although he hated Qin Shou, he was aware of Qin Shou's bravery. Zhuge Liang was now his gallbladder, so nothing could go wrong when he went there.

Zhuge Liang was very moved and said quickly: "I am taking Zilong with me this time, mainly to stay in Nanjun. Nanjun is a strong city with a big river at its back, and it is very convenient for the circulation of food and grass, which is conducive to confronting the Qin bandits."

"Okay, since the military advisor has already made arrangements, just go ahead and take charge of the rear affairs in Lingling for the military advisor." Liu Bei said very tactfully.

He is not as brave as Guan, Zhang and Zhao, nor as wise as Zhuge Liang. It would be better for him to stay at home honestly, so as not to go to the front line and be killed by Qin Shou.

This time is different from before. Qin Shou used to care about his reputation, but not now. If he catches me, he will definitely take my life.

"Don't worry, my lord. With me at the front line, we can definitely hold back the Qin bandits. When the right opportunity comes, we will definitely keep them in Jingzhou." Zhuge Liang seemed very confident, which gave Liu Bei confidence.

"With my military advisor here, I can rest assured." Liu Bei was very happy to hear that.

Soon, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun led an army of 10,000 and headed towards Dangyang with a large amount of food and fodder. Liu Bei now had a lot of money and food in his pocket, and after he pacified the Wuxi barbarians, he could be said to have a well-trained army and sufficient food and fodder.

That's why they were so confident that they could rely on Nanjun and the Yangtze River to keep Qin Shou in Jingzhou, or even trap him in Jingzhou.

Inside Dangyang City, Qin Shou brandished two swords against Huang Zhong and Dian Wei. The three of them rode on their war horses and fought back and forth on the parade ground. The sound of metal clashing could be heard, resounding through the sky.

The soldiers watching around burst into cheers.

This kind of fight between top generals looks thrilling and exciting. Everyone thinks that Qin Shou is the best general in the world, but there are also many people who don’t believe it. But now, the soldiers finally know that the man in front of them is truly the most powerful man on earth.

The two swords slashed with great power, and even when facing the siege of two top masters, he still did not lose the upper hand.

Wen Pin and other generals also knew that the three men had stopped fighting, after all, it was a competition, not a life-and-death fight, but no matter what, it looked very exciting.

This kind of competition is very helpful in boosting the morale of the army and establishing the prestige of the commander. Qin Shou, a clerk, was able to conquer the world and establish such a kingdom, which had a lot to do with his personal bravery.

After repelling Huang Zhong with one blow of his sword, Qin Shou took a few steps back. Dian Wei knew that today's competition was over, so he also pulled his horse and retreated to the side.

"Han Sheng is still strong as he grows older, and his fighting power is even better than Guan Yu's." Qin Shou looked at Huang Zhong's slightly old face. No matter how brave a man is, he cannot withstand the ravages of time. Huang Zhong is still old.

However, unlike in history, Huang Zhong at this time had already achieved success and fame. "Thank you for your praise, lord. One day, I will cut off Guan Yu's head and present it to you." Huang Zhong responded loudly.

"My lord, the scout reports that Zhuge Liang is here." Sima Yi walked over.

"Han Sheng, Zhong Da, after we meet Zhuge Liang, the Dangyang battlefield will be handed over to you two." Qin Shou patted Sima Yi on the shoulder and said, "Zhong Da, I believe you can definitely restrain Zhuge Liang."

Sima Yi blushed slightly and said with a wry smile: "My lord, I have read the news sent by Qin Feng. Zhuge Liang is not so easy to deal with."

Zhuge Liang was able to transform Liu Bei from a small warlord with only one or two thousand troops into a big warlord with tens of thousands of troops in just one or two years, who dominated southern Jing and occupied Nanjun. His talent can be imagined.

Sima Yi did not dare to guarantee that he could defeat him easily, and he even felt a little afraid in his heart.

"Zhongda, stay constant in the face of ever-changing situations." Qin Shou consoled him, "Believe in your own strength. You can definitely do it."

"I understand." Sima Yi's expression straightened up after hearing this. After all, he was a smart man. He quickly regained his composure and immediately followed Qin Shou out of the small town of Dangyang.

Qin Shou also met Zhuge Liang, who was famous in history. He had a fair complexion, a goose feather fan in his hand, and was very elegant. At this moment, the young Zhuge Liang had not yet sat in a four-wheeled carriage, but was riding a horse.

"Is the person coming Zhuge Kongming?" Qin Shou nodded.

"That's right." Zhuge Liang also saw Qin Shou, who had a heroic appearance and a powerful aura. He was riding on a horse, gazing at the world like a tiger. No one could underestimate him. No wonder he had achieved what he has today.

"He is indeed a man of extraordinary talent and intelligence." Qin Shou nodded and praised, "But now the imperial court has an absolute advantage. Sir, you are a smart man, why do you want to go against the will of heaven and cause great suffering to the people of Jingxiang?"

"You are called the Prime Minister of Han, but you are actually a traitor to Han! Everyone in the world wants to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin! How dare you talk about the people of the world? It's really a big joke on everyone." Zhuge Liang scolded loudly.

Qin Shou was not angry after hearing this, but chuckled and said, "I really didn't know that the people of the world hate me so much. It's just that in the Central Plains, the people live and work in peace and the world is peaceful without the suffering of war. How come Kong Ming said that the Central Plains seems to be a chaotic place."

Zhuge Liang sneered: "The well-read people in the world will not be fooled by your hypocritical appearance, Qin Shou, your sweet words cannot deceive the people of the world."

Qin Shou shook his head, pointed his whip at Zhuge Liang, and snorted, "Zhuge Liang, you represent Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and the interests of some ambitious people. For your own ambitions, you have thrown the lives of the people and soldiers aside. You all live for your own ambitions."

"For your ambitions, how many mothers have lost their sons, how many wives have lost their husbands, how many children have lost their fathers. You compare yourself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi. Is this how they achieved their ideals?"

Qin Shou's voice gradually became louder and louder, and Zhuge Liang's face turned red. He was about to fight back, but he saw Qin Shou had already turned and left. He didn't want to talk to him at all, and was obviously worried that he couldn't win the argument.

After all, Zhuge Liang's eloquence is still very powerful.

But no matter how good your eloquence is, you still need a chance to show it! Now that the enemy has run away, it is useless to be eloquent.
