Zhuge Liang immediately stood in front of Zhuge Dan and said in a deep voice: "Father, let's retreat, the child will come and break the back!"

Although the strength of the two sides is very different, if Zhuge Liang fights to the death, at least he can win some time for Zhuge Dan to escape. As long as Zhuge Dan can escape back to Shouchun, there will be a chance to counterattack. The Huainan Army cannot be without Zhuge Dan, so Zhuge Liang stood in front of Zhuge Dan without hesitation. Even if he dies today, he must protect Zhuge Dan for peace of mind.

Zhuge Dan was not panicked, but there was a cold look in his eyes. It seemed that all this was really a bureau set up by Sima Shi. Before he even stepped into Jingzhou, Wang Chang sent troops to ambush here. If he took a few more steps, he would have no way out.

I just don’t know if Wang Chang came here in person?

After all, Zhuge Dan is also a general who has experienced many battles. Even though the scene is very dangerous, he did not let him escape in panic. Although Zhuge Dan has only seven hundred personal guards, these people may be able to block ten dead soldiers. Zhuge Dan dares to take only seven hundred people to Jingzhou. These dead soldiers are his greatest reliance. As long as one of these seven hundred people has not fallen, Zhuge Dan will not be in danger of his life.

Zhuge Dan shouted loudly at the opposite side: "Zhuge Dan is here, who is coming?"

The generals leading the opponent were Shen Fang and Wu Rui of the Jingzhou Army. Wang Chang sent them to lead 10,000 troops to the border of Jingzhou, waiting for Zhuge Dan's arrival.

After all, it was not yet at the point of turning against each other, and Wang Chang did not issue a killing order to them, but just ordered them to welcome Zhuge Dan here. No matter what means they used, they had to escort Zhuge Dan to Xinye.

Shen Fang and Wu Rui were originally just lying on the Jingzhou border. They originally planned to appear until Zhuge Dan entered Jingzhou territory. However, after seeing Zhuge Dan arrive at the border from afar, they stopped. Not only did they not continue to move forward, but instead prepared to go home. Shen Fang and Wu Rui saw that this was not possible, so they quickly appeared.

At this moment, hearing Zhuge Dan's silence, Shen Fang and Wu Rui had no choice but to go forward and say, "The last general Shen Fang (Wu Rui) is in charge of the order of General Wang Chang, and we are here to welcome the governor Zhuge."

Zhuge Dan sneered and said, "Do you have to bring so many soldiers and horses just to welcome him? The two generals are such a big battle!"

Shen Fang and Wu Rui smiled awkwardly and said, "Governor Zhuge misunderstood. Along the way, bandits appeared and bandits were rampant. Governor Wang was worried about the safety of Governor Zhuge, so he killed the last general to bring troops to escort him. There was absolutely no other meaning."

Zhuge Dan said in a deep voice: "So that's the case, the governor of the king is a person who is interested! The governor of the king wanted to go to Jingzhou today to meet the governor of the king, but just received the military information from Ruxukou, and the rebel army suddenly invaded Huainan, so the governor had to return to Shouchun and go to Jingzhou after he repelled the rebel army."

Zhuge Dan's ability to lie was first-class. He remained calm and his heart was still beating. He spoke as if there was really an emergency military situation in Huainan.

Shen Fang and Wu Rui were stunned for a moment. At this time, Wu would suddenly attack Huainan. This was a coincidence, but they did not dare to question Zhuge Dan, so they could only say: "It is also a very important matter for the Governor Wang to wait for Zhuge in Xinye. Zhuge might as well go to Xinye first. After meeting with the Governor Wang, they would go back to Huainan. It would take only three or two days to delay much time."

Wang Chang gave them the order to bring Zhuge Dan to Xinye at all means. Seeing that Zhuge Dan was about to return halfway, even if their mission failed, they would definitely be punished by Wang Chang after returning, so they could not let Zhuge Dan leave easily no matter what.

Zhuge Dan swept at the two of them with a sharp look and said angrily: "The military situation is very urgent and cannot be delayed for a moment. The two generals are also members of the army. Don't you know the benefits and interests of this? If Huainan is lost because of this, can you two take responsibility to the court?"

Chen Fang and Wu Rui couldn't help but lower their heads. This responsibility was really not something they could bear. If Huainan was lost, their ten heads would not be enough.

After all, Zhuge Dan's identity is so illusory, Chen Fang and Wu Rui are just following orders, but Wang Chang did not directly order them to take Zhuge Dan's life, so Zhuge Dan insisted on leaving, and they were helpless.

Seeing that the two of them lowered their heads, Zhuge Dan did not speak harshly anymore, but slowed down his expression and said, "The two generals are also people who know the importance of the matter. Go back and report to the Governor of the King, please don't worry. After the Huainan business is finished, the Governor will go to Xinye immediately and make a settlement with the Governor of the King."

After all, Chen Fang and Wu Rui did not dare to use force against Zhuge Dan. Seeing that Zhuge Dan's attitude was so decisive, he knew that he would definitely not be able to invite him today, so he had to bow to Zhuge Dan and say, "I will send you to Zhuge Governor."

Zhuge Dan nodded slightly, turned his horse's head, and headed eastward. Zhuge Liang also led his army to follow him. In a flash, the Huainan army and his group disappeared from sight.

Chen Fang and Wu Rui looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Although Wang Chang's order was to use all means to keep Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Dan's strength still made them unable to take action. After all, Zhuge Dan was a senior member of the Yangzhou governor's court. With their identity, he could not afford to offend him. Seeing Zhuge Dan leave, the two had no choice but to lead their troops back to Xinye to report his life.

Zhuge Liangchi went out more than ten miles and saw that there were no pursuers behind him. He was in a state of great peace and said to Zhuge Dan: "It's so dangerous. If Chen Fang and Wu Rui really want to take action, it will be difficult to escape."

Zhuge Dan smiled slightly and said, "It's not time for the time being that the daggers are revealed. It is estimated that only Wang Chang in Jingzhou knows Sima Shi's conspiracy. The people under these men are still unaware of it. They can only act according to orders. As a father, he also speculated that Wang Chang had not issued a killing order, so he took a risk. As expected, these two people dare not act rashly anymore. If Wang Chang really had to order the two to kill someone, I was afraid that a death battle today would be inevitable."

Zhuge Claus was very serious and the calculation was accurate. Wang Chang deceived himself to go to Jingzhou. All conspiracies and traps would only be implemented after he arrived in Jingzhou. It is estimated that Wang Chang did not expect that he would suddenly return halfway, so they did not have corresponding emergency plans.

However, this time Zhuge Dan was able to survive and escape from danger because he had such a good daughter, and promptly conveyed the news of life and death to him. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.
