Zhuge Dan did not leave very quickly. After all, this was just a routine official handover, not a marching and war. If Wang Chang had not urged him tightly, Zhuge Dan would have probably delayed it for a few days before he went there. Despite this, Zhuge Dan and his party were slowly and calmly traveling westward. After two days, he arrived in Yiyang. However, after passing Yiyang, he entered the boundary of Jingzhou, but he was still far away from Xinye, the capital of Jingzhou Prefecture.

Zhuge Dan was in a good mood. In the past, he was in charge of Huainan but lived in a corner of the southeast. After he also led Jingzhou, the territory he controlled suddenly spanned thousands of miles away, and the territory that thousands of miles away was enough to establish a country.

Human desires are always unfathomable. When you are not covered in clothes and cannot fill your stomach, you often need only three meals of food and clothing. However, when people really reach the point of being free from food and clothing, they often start to pursue power again, and their desires are hard to settle. The greater the power, the greater the thing they pursue.

At this moment, Zhuge Dan seemed to have seen a country of thousands of miles waving to him. He just had to cross Yiyang and was about to reach the Jingzhou territory. He had never entered this place before, but from then on, this land will also be included in his command, and Zhuge Dan will become the master of this land.

When Zhuge Dan thought of this, he couldn't wait to speed up his trip. In the morning, he ordered to leave Yiyang City early, and expected to reach the border between Zhunnan and Jingzhou around noon. If everything goes well, they will stay in Jingzhou tonight. It is expected that they will be able to arrive in Xinye in a maximum of two days.

Just as they reached the border, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind them. Zhuge Dan looked back and saw Zhuge Liang taking the lead and leading countless cavalry to arrive. He was slightly surprised. Didn’t he say that Zhuge Liang was left to Shouchun? Why did he suddenly come here? Could it be that something happened to Shouchun?

Zhuge Liang saw that Zhuge Dan was safe and sound and had not yet set foot in Jingzhou, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to catch up with Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Liang did not stop all night. He chased and chased along the way. He didn't know how many horses he had broken. However, he finally intercepted Zhuge Dan in Yiyang, and finally he did not waste time.

"Father... Jingzhou... can't go!" After Zhuge Liang got closer, he grabbed Zhuge Dan's bridle on the horse's horse, and said in a pissy manner.

Zhuge Dan thought it was Shouchun's fault, but when he heard this, Zhuge Liang clearly came to stop him from entering Jingzhou. He couldn't help but say in confusion: "You can't go to Jingzhou, why?"

"My sister just sent Ruibo from Luoyang and made a special trip to send a letter. The letter is here, please check it out." Zhuge Liang handed over the letter.

When Zhuge Dan opened the letter, he saw that it was indeed a letter written by his daughter Zhuge Hui. After reading the content of the letter, Zhuge Dan's face suddenly became solemn. Zhuge Hui was in the Sima Mansion and could naturally get news that others could not get. Since this statement came from Sima Yiqiang, it was probably true and there would be no falsehood.

Zhuge Liang said: "Father, according to Ruibo, Guo Huai was not sick and is still in Yongliang. The news about his retirement was purely made of nothing. Therefore, this time my father went to Jingzhou to hand over military power was a trap set by Sima Shi. My father must not go to Jingzhou and accidentally fell into Sima Shi's trap."

Zhuge Dan asked in a deep voice: "Where is Ruibo?"

Zhuge Liang said: "The child has arranged him to rest in the mansion. He has worked very hard along the way. After his father returns to the mansion, he will naturally see him."

Ruibo is a member of the Zhuge family and is worthy of trust. Since Zhuge Hui heard the news that was unfavorable to the Zhuge family and trustworthyly sent Ruibo to pass the message, it is enough to prove that Ruibo is loyal and reliable.

Zhuge Dan had previously suspected that there was a fraud, but he still could not withstand the huge temptation. Unexpectedly, this was a shocking trap in the end. Guo Huai did not retire due to illness. Naturally, there would be no vacant position in Yongliang. Then Wang Chang would not have transferred him to Jingzhou and asked him to go to Jingzhou to handle the transfer of military power. This was a huge lie.

Suddenly, Zhuge Dan's back back felt a little cold. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang chased him in time. Otherwise, once Zhuge Dan stepped into Jingzhou, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhuge Dan looked at Jingzhou with lingering fear. It was ridiculous that he had previously fantasized about taking over Jingzhou's territory and army. Sure enough, no pie would fall from the sky. It seemed that something was a pie, and it was often a trap.

It seems that Zhuge Dan underestimated Sima Shi's ruthlessness and cunningness. In this troublesome situation, he really dared to take ruthless actions against him. However, since both sides have already tore their faces apart, there is no need to worry about anything. After Zhuge Dan returned to Shouchun, he decided to start a war immediately and start a full war with Sima Shi. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!

Zhuge Dan secretly made a ruthless heart. Sima Shi had already decided to attack him, so Zhuge Dan no longer needed to think about anything and just raised an army to fight him. Whether it was Cao Liang in the Northern Alliance or the Southern Alliance of Eastern Wu, Zhuge Dan could find the allies he needed, and at least he was at ease in dealing with Sima Shi.

Not to mention that Sima's army could not draw much troops due to the Yellow River defense line, even if it could really draw troops, Zhuge Dan was not afraid of the army coming. After all, Zhuge Dan was not fighting alone. Even if Cao Liang could not count on Jizhou, the Eastern Wu in the south was just a short distance. As long as Zhuge Dan could give benefits to the Eastern Wu, the Eastern Wu, which had always been keen on Huainan, would definitely send troops to rescue him.

As long as Zhuge Dan and the Eastern Wu join forces, even if the Sima Division devotes all its troops to attack Huainan, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky, not to mention that in order to prevent Cao Liang, Sima Division had to send heavy troops to guard the Yellow River line, and could not draw enough troops to launch an attack at all.

Now Zhuge Dan is really angry with Sima Shi. He secretly made up his mind to start a war immediately after returning to Shouchun and ask him to look good at Sima Shi.

Just as Zhuge Dan turned his horse's head and was about to return to Shouchun, he suddenly saw dust flying from Jingzhou, and a group of people rushed out, gathering towards the junction of Jingzhou and Huainan. Looking at the formation, there were at least tens of thousands of people, with flags waving and full of momentum.

On the Huainan army, there were only 700 people Zhuge Dan brought when he set out and 1,000 people Zhuge Liang brought when he came after him. Compared with the formation of the Jingzhou army, the strength was very different, and everyone was shocked to the point of being ashamed.
