The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 223 At this point in time, Kong Ming may really not want to go out
At the same time, the three of Liu Bei returned to Xinye, asking people to inquire about Zhuge Liang's news every day.

On this day, the spies reported: "Mr. Wolong is back."

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his servants to prepare horses and head to Longzhong.

Zhang Fei snorted coldly at the side: "It's just a villager, why bother to ask for it in person, and send someone to tie him up...just call him."

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei and scolded: "Mencius once said: If you want to see a virtuous person but don't follow his way, it's like entering a house without a suitable door. How can you succeed in this way? Kong Ming is a great sage in the world, how can he be summoned!"

Zhang Fei was at a loss for words immediately, and kept silent.

Liu Bei got on his horse and went to Longzhong to visit Kong Ming.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed each other on horseback.

It was mid-winter, the sky was cold and the clouds were dense, and the ground was as hard as a rock. It was very difficult to walk all the way.

On the way, suddenly the new wind blew up, and the auspicious snow fell: the mountains were surrounded by jade, and the forest was wrapped in silver.

Zhang Fei stared wide-eyed, looking at the heavy snow all over the sky, shrunk his neck and said, "Brother, it's freezing cold, it's not suitable to travel far, it's better to go back to Xinye to avoid the wind and snow."

Liu Bei looked ahead and said seriously, "This snow is so good! I'm just going to let Kong Ming know my intention of hospitality. The third brother is afraid of the cold, but he can go back first, and the second brother and I will go by ourselves!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei quickly expressed his opinion: "I'm not afraid of death, why would I be afraid of the cold! I'm just worried that my brother's trip will be a waste of effort."

Liu Bei waved his hands and said, "Don't talk too much, just go with me."

In the wind and snow, the three of them were about to go all the way, and they hadn't traveled for several miles, when they suddenly heard someone singing in a wooden house and wine shop by the roadside.

Liu Bei immediately listened.


The fame of the strong man has not yet been achieved, so it has been a long time since he met Yangchun!
Don't you see that the old man in the East China Sea said goodbye to Jing Zhen, and then married King Wen in the rear car.

The eight hundred princes did not expect to meet, and the white fish entered the boat and waded to Mengjin.

In the first battle of Makino, the blood flowed, Ying Yangwei was the most powerful military official.

Don't you see that Gaoyang drunkard is drafting, Changji Mangdang Long Zhungong.

Talk about kings and bullies astonishingly, stop washing and sit in the style of Qin Yingying.

Going east to Qicheng 72, no one in the world can follow.

The deeds of the two are still like this, so far who is willing to talk about heroes?
Hearing this song, Liu Bei's heart was shaken.

He studied under Lu Zhi when he was young, and knew that "Gaoyang drunkard" refers to Li Shiqi in the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, he wanted to vote for Liu Bang, but was mistaken for an ordinary Confucian student and rejected, so he called himself "Gaoyang drunkard", and was used by Liu Bang just now.

Since then, "Gaoyang drinkers" generally refers to some people who drink alcohol and are unrestrained.

Doesn't this statement just imply that "Mr. Wolong" intends to become an official!

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and suddenly heard another person hitting the table and singing.

My emperor lifts the sword to clear the world, and has established a business for four hundred years.

In Huanling Jiye, Huo's morality declined, and treacherous officials and thieves tuned in Dingnai.

The green snake flew down to the throne, and saw the demon rainbow descending to the Yutang.

Groups of thieves gather in all directions like ants, and a hundred generations of treacherous heroes are all eagles.

My friend Chang Xiaokong clapped his hands and came to the village shop to drink village wine.

If you can only take good care of yourself and live in peace for the rest of your life, why do you need to have an immortal name through the ages?
After this person sang, the two people in the room clapped their hands and laughed.

The meaning of this song is quite different from the previous one, it is full of the meaning of "Let the world be disturbed, I will hide from the world and live in seclusion".

Liu Bei then dismounted and entered the shop. He saw the two of them drinking at the table. The one at the top had a white face and a long beard. The one at the bottom was none other than Meng Gongwei, whom he had met before. He bowed his hands and asked:

"Is your Excellency Mr. Kong Ming?"

The man with the long beard asked: "Who is the Duke? Why are you looking for Kong Ming?"

Liu Bei bowed again and said, "I am Liu Bei from Xinye. I want to visit Mr. Kong Ming to seek ways to help the world and the people."

The man with the long beard replied: "I am not Kongming, but Shi Guangyuan, a friend of Kongming's. This is Meng Gongwei in Runan."

Liu Bei and Meng Gongwei met each other, and said to Shi Tao: "Bei has heard of the Duke for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet him by chance. There are accompanying horses here. Can you please go to Wolong Village to talk with me?"

Shi Guangyuan waved his hand and said: "We are all lazy people in the mountains and fields. We don't know how to govern the country and bring peace to the people. So I will ask without bothering you. Please mount your horse and look for Kong Ming."


Liu Bei then no longer forced himself, drank hot wine with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, said goodbye to them, mounted his horse and headed towards Wolong Gang.

When he arrived at the village, he got off his horse and knocked on the door. Seeing that the boy who opened the door was still the boy from before, he asked, "Sir, can you be at the village today?"

The boy replied, "I'm studying in the classroom."

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and followed the boy to the middle gate, only to see a long couplet pasted on the door: "Indifference shows ambition. Tranquility leads to long distance."

While I was looking at it, I suddenly heard the sound of chanting coming from inside the house. I stood by the door and took a peek. I saw a handsome young man sitting around the fire in the thatched cottage, hugging his knees and chanting:
"The phoenix soars a thousand feet, and it cannot live in it unless it is a tree; the scholar is in one side, and it cannot be relied on unless it is the Lord."

"Let's cultivate in Longmu, and temporarily hide his aspirations; talk and send pride in Qin and Shu, waiting for the right time."

Liu Bei waited for him to finish reading before he opened the curtain and entered the room. He bowed and said: "I have long admired Mr.'s name, but I have never had the chance to pay a visit. In the past, because of Xu Yuan's direct recommendation, I went to Xianzhuang with generous gifts, but I never came back. I am very risky today. The snow is coming. It is really a blessing to finally be able to see the Taoist appearance."

The young man hurriedly stood up, and said in return: "The general is Liu Yuzhou, he came here to see his brother?"

Liu Bei was surprised: "Sir, you are not Kong Ming?"

The young man smiled and said: "I am Zhuge Jun, the younger brother of Kong Ming, and I have three foolish brothers: the eldest brother Zhuge Jin, now Jiangdong... uh, working as a guest at Sun Zhongmou's office in Jiaozhou; Kong Ming is the second brother."

Liu Bei was stunned: "Then brother Ling is at home today?"

Zhuge Jun said: "It was a nice day yesterday, so my brother went for a leisurely trip."

Hearing this, Liu Bei was extremely disappointed immediately, and asked, "Do you know where to hang out?"

Zhuge Jun said: "You may swim in the rivers and lakes in a small boat, or visit monks on the mountains, or find friends in the villages, or play the piano and chess in the cave. It's unpredictable, and I don't know where I'm going."

Liu Bei let out a long sigh: "I don't want Bei Zhi to have such a superficial fate, so I won't meet a great sage twice!"

Zhuge Jun asked: "General, sit down, and the boy will bring you some tea."

Zhang Fei shouted outside the door: "Brother, since Mr. Kong Ming is not here, it is better to come back."

Liu Bei mused, "Since you've come here, how can you return without leaving a word?"

After finishing speaking, Wang asked Zhuge Jun and said: "I heard that Brother Ling is tireless in reading military books and war strategies, and is familiar with strategic strategies. Do you know that?"

Zhuge Jun shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Zhang Fei came up impatiently and urged: "Brother, ask him what he is doing! The wind and snow are very tight at this time, so it is better to go home early."

One sentence made the three people unhappy.

Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and stopped the latter's rash words.

Zhuge Jun cupped his hands and said: "My brother is not here, I dare not stay with the general for a long time, let my brother come back in the future and go to Xinye to see him."

Liu Bei waved his hands again and again: "How dare you bother to let brother go to Xinye. I will come back in a few days. I would like to borrow a pen and paper to write a book and leave it with brother Ling to show my eagerness and expectation."

Zhuge Jun then ordered the boy to bring the four treasures of the study and place them on the wooden case.

But it was freezing cold, and the brush had frozen into a stiff stick.

Liu Bei patiently opened the frozen pen, brushed the cloud paper, and suddenly felt that his writing was springing up, and he wrote:
"Bei Jiu admired the high reputation, paid two visits to the Jin Dynasty, and did not return in time, what a melancholy! I secretly thought about the descendants of the Han Dynasty, abused the famous nobles, and saw the imperial mausoleum replaced. My heart is torn apart. Although I have the sincerity of helping others, I really lack economical strategies. I look up to Mr. Lu Wang for his kindness and loyalty, and he generously displays Lu Wang’s great talent, and the grand plan of giving to the ovary. The world is very lucky! The country is very lucky! Mu, I especially respect my face, and my face is contemptuous. Tong Xi learns from the original."

After finishing writing, hand over the letter to Zhuge Jun, take his leave and go out.

Zhuge Jun sent him out of the door politely, and Liu Bei paid homage to him again and again.Fang was about to get on his horse and go away, when suddenly he saw the boy waving his hand in the distance and shouting: "The old man is here."

Hearing this, Liu Bei looked over and saw a person walking from the east of the small bridge, with a warm hat covering his head and a fox fur covering his body, riding a donkey under his crotch, followed by a boy in Tsing Yi, with a gourd of wine pinned to his waist, leisurely and leisurely Come on snow.

While walking on the donkey, the man chanted non-stop.


The night was cold from the north, and the clouds were thick for thousands of miles.

The snow flutters in the sky, changing the old world.

Looking up at Huoxu, it is suspected that it is Yulong fighting.

Scales flew one after another, all over the universe in an instant.

Riding a donkey across the small bridge, sighing that plum blossoms are thin alone!
Liu Bei sighed: "This man must be the real Kong Ming!"

After that, he stepped forward to meet the old man and saluted: "Liu Bei has been waiting for you for a long time. Fortunately, we meet you!"

The man hurriedly got off his donkey and returned the favor.

Zhuge Jun followed and said from behind: "This is not my brother, this is my brother's father-in-law, Mr. Huang Chengyan."

The one on the left is not Kong Ming, and the one on the right is not Kong Ming.Liu Bei was already prepared in his heart, but he didn't care about it, and sighed: "The poems that the old man just recited just now are extremely sublime."

Huang Chengyan laughed and said: "My old man watched "Liang Fu Yin" at my son-in-law's house, and I remember this article; when I crossed a small bridge, I occasionally saw plum blossoms among the fences, so I expressed my feelings. I don't expect it to be heard by our respected guests."

Liu Bei looked expectantly and asked, "Have you ever met your son-in-law, sir?"

Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "The old man also came to see him."

Hearing this, Liu Bei was greatly disappointed, bid farewell to Huang Chengyan, got on his horse and left.

After walking for a while, Liu Bei looked back at Wolonggang, only to see that the sky was full of wind and snow, and he was at a loss, and his heart was suddenly melancholy and worried.

At this point in time, if Ma Chao in Xiliang and Sun Quan in Jiaozhou were not counted, only Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong were left in the world.

Zhuge Liang, maybe he really didn't want to go out of the mountain.
