The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 233 Since it is like a fish in water, let the water meet the enemy
The three of them walked half a mile away from the thatched cottage, and Liu Bei dismounted to show his sincerity and walked on foot.

After walking a few steps, he met Zhuge Jun.

Liu Bei hurriedly saluted and asked, "Is Brother Ling at home?"

Zhuge Jun returned the courtesy and said: "I will return at dusk yesterday. The general can meet you today."

After all, let's go.

Liu Bei said to the two: "Three visits, it's really not easy to meet your husband this time!"

Zhang Fei watched Zhuge Jun's leaving figure and snorted: "This man is so rude! He didn't lead me to the village, and then left!"

Liu Bei said: "Everyone has their own business, how can we force it?"

The three of them came to the front of the village and knocked on the door. It was still the boy who opened the door twice before and asked:
"It's you again. It's a coincidence that the general came this time. My husband happens to be at home."

Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, please report: Liu Bei is here to see Mr."

The boy led the three of them to the hospital and said, "Although you are at home today, you are still sleeping in the thatched cottage."

Liu Bei glanced into the room and said, "Since that's the case, don't report it."

Turning his head, he told Guan and Zhang to just wait in the courtyard. He walked slowly outside the curtain and saw a person lying on his side on the bamboo mat in the thatched cottage. In the haze, he could not see clearly, but he intuitively felt that his figure was slender and majestic. .

Immediately felt at ease, and arched down the steps.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the sun was already in the sky, Zhuge Liang still didn't wake up.Guan and Zhang stood outside for a long time, but there was no movement, and their hearts were restless, and they saw that their eldest brother was still standing there, respectful like a servant serving his master.

Zhang Fei was furious, and said to Guan Yu, "How arrogant is this gentleman! Seeing my brother standing on the steps, he can't even sit down! Wait until I go to the back of the house and set a fire to see if he can afford it!"

Guan Yu hurriedly persuaded him, but he finally persuaded him.

Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei, waved his hands and ordered them to wait outside the door.

Looking back at the hall, Zhuge Liang turned over and was about to get up, but suddenly turned back inside again and fell asleep facing the wall.

Seeing this, the boy walked lightly, with his fingers inside, beckoning himself to wake up Mr.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said softly, "Don't be disturbed."

It wasn't until another hour of standing that Zhuge Liang turned over and woke up. He got up and asked the boy, "It's so noisy outside the door, is there a vulgar visitor?"

The boy replied: "Yuzhou Mu Liu Bei has been waiting outside for a long time."

Zhuge Liang scolded: "Since you have a distinguished guest, why didn't you report it early! Let's change clothes and meet each other."

After all, turn to the back hall and disappear.

After another half an hour, Fang adjusted his clothes and came out to meet him.

After all this tumbling, it was already afternoon.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Bei imperceptibly, but saw that the latter had a calm expression, without the slightest helplessness, and he immediately felt good about him.

While Zhuge Liang was observing Liu Bei, Liu Bei was also observing him. He was eight feet long, with a face crown like jade, a lun scarf on his head, and a crane cloak, floating like a fairy.

He cupped his hands and bowed in obeisance: "A late man of the Han Dynasty and a foolish man of Zhuo County have heard of your name for a long time. I came to visit you two times before but never got to see him, so I left a book with a humble name on Wenji. I wonder if you, sir, have read it?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "The savages in Nanyang are lazy by nature. General Meng travels in empty space. I am ashamed."

Seeing that one of the two called himself "the last member of the Han Dynasty" and the other a "Nanyang savage", Zhang Fei outside the door curled his lips, thinking that Zhuge Liang was right!

Then he said to Guan Yu, "If you sleep until the afternoon and don't wake up until the afternoon, what are you if you're not a savage?"

Zhang Fei's words were loud and he did not hide them. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in the hall could hear them clearly.

Liu Bei's face was slightly embarrassed, but fortunately Zhuge Liang didn't care about it.

After the two talked about the ceremony, the host and guest sat down, and the boy offered tea.

After drinking tea, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei and asked: "I have read the left book yesterday, which shows that the general is concerned about the people and the country, but I hate that Liang is too young to ask, so I made a mistake to ask."

Liu Bei said seriously: "Sima Decao's words and Xu Yuanzhi's words are just empty talk? I hope you will not abandon your humbleness and give me your advice."

Zhuge Liang waved his hands again and again and said: "Morality and Yuanzhi are all high-ranking scholars in the world. Liang is a farmer, how dare he talk about the world's affairs? The second gentleman's absurd act is ashamed. Why does the general give up the beautiful jade to ask for the stubborn stone?"

As soon as Liu Bei heard the words, Liu Bei had a solid foundation in his mind, and immediately said: "A man who possesses world-class talents, how can he grow old in vain? I hope that you will take the Han Dynasty as the world, and prepare for the stupid."

Originally, Liu Bei wanted to say, "May my husband care about the common people in the world", but when I thought about the prosperous days of the people in the northern border, I felt that this excuse was a bit weak, so I changed it to "the world in the Han Dynasty".

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I would like to hear about the general's ambition."

Liu Bei sat sideways, and said: "The Han Dynasty is in ruins, treacherous ministers steal their lives, and they are overwhelmed. They want to spread justice to the world, but they are so short of wisdom and achieve nothing. It is really a blessing for Mr. Wang to save him from his ignorance! "

Zhuge Liang said: "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the world's heroes have risen together. Yuan She is not as famous as Cao Cao, powerful as Yuan Shao, and Wu is not as good as Lu Bu, but he was able to swallow Hebei and dominate the Central Plains. .”

"Today, there are already millions of people. They sweep the barbarians in the north and settle Jiangdong in the south. You can't compete with them."

"Originally, Sun Quan occupied Jiangdong for three dynasties. The country was in danger and the people were attached to it, so it could be used as a rescue. But now he has retreated to Jiaozhou, eight out of ten powers have disappeared, and he no longer cares about it."

"Jingzhou occupies Han and Mian in the north, stretches to the South China Sea, connects Wuhui in the east, and connects Ba and Shu in the west. This is a place for military use. Although it is enemy on all sides, it is not the owner who cannot defend it."

"In addition, Yizhou is dangerously blocked and fertile and wild. It is known as the land of abundance, and the ancestors of the past used it to become an emperor; today Liu Zhang is dark and weak, and the people are rich and the country is rich, but they don't know how to save compassion. A wise man thinks of a wise king. The general is the man of the imperial family. Xinyi is written all over the world, recruits heroes, and is thirsty for talents. If you occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou, protect its rocks, harmonize with Zhu Rong in the west, caress Yi and Yue in the south, and practice politics internally; when the world changes, you will order one The general will send the troops of Jingzhou down the river to swallow the east of the river, and the general will personally lead the people of Yizhou to leave Qinchuan. If this is the case, great achievements will be made, and the Han Dynasty will prosper. This is the plan of the general."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the boy to take out a scroll of the picture, hang it in the middle hall, and introduced: "This is a map of the 54 states of Xichuan. If the general wants to become a hegemony, he should first take Jingzhou as his home, and then take Yizhou as his foundation, and then he can draw the original map."

When Liu Bei heard this, he cupped his hands and thanked him: "After listening to Mr.'s words, Bei Mao suddenly opened up, like seeing the blue sky through the clouds. But Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou are from the same Han clan as me, how can Bei An bear to seize them?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Looking at the sky at night, General Liu Biao will be alive soon; Liu Zhang is not the master of the establishment: Xichuan will be returned to the general after a long time."

Liu Bei bowed his head and thanked him when he heard the words: "Although Bei has a humble name, I hope that you will not abandon your lowliness and come out to help. Bei will bow and listen to Ming's instructions."

Zhuge Liang declined and said: "Liang Jiu is happy to plow and hoe, but he is too lazy to respond to the world. Please forgive me for not being able to obey orders."

Liu Bei burst into tears when he heard the words, and cried, "Mr., if you don't come out, the Han Dynasty will be safe!"

After saying that, tears fell like rain, and the skirt of my clothes was completely wet.

Seeing his sincerity, Zhuge Liang also saw that the black-faced man outside the door was furious. If he didn't agree to come out of the mountain today, he was afraid that everyone in Zhuangzi would die, so he knelt down and said:

"Thanks to the general for not giving up, Liang is willing to do his best."

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to meet each other inside, and presented gifts of gold, silver, silk and hemp.

Zhuge Liang refused again and again.

Until Liu Bei explained: "This is not a gift for recruiting talents, it only shows Liu Bei's heart."

Zhuge Liang reluctantly accepted it, and seeing that it was getting late, he left Liu Bei and the three of them to stay overnight in the village.

It was night, thinking about the current situation in the world, Zhuge Liang couldn't sleep, and played the piano against the moon until midnight.

Zhang Fei was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, he said angrily, "I can't sleep during the day, and I don't sleep at night, this gentleman is sick!"

Liu Bei turned around, raised his hand and said, "Third Brother, don't talk nonsense, let Kong Ming play it. From now on, he probably won't have time to play the piano anymore."

The next day, Zhuge Jun turned around, and Zhuge Liang told him: "I have received the kindness of Sangu, and I will not let you go. You can work at home with peace of mind, and don't let the fields become barren. When I succeed, you should go back to seclusion."

Zhuge Jun agreed and sent everyone away.

After returning to Xinye, Liu Bei treated Zhuge Liang like a teacher, ate at the same table, slept in the same bed, talked tirelessly about the world all day long, and often said to the left and right: "I have Kongming, like a fish in water!"

These words made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei even more displeased with Liu Bei's "loving the new and never getting tired of the old". The two of them kept a fierce look on their faces all day long, and they didn't have a good look on anyone.

In private, Zhang Fei said angrily to Guan Yu: "Brother, he is like a fish in water all day long. When the northern army attacks, we will not move, and let the water meet the enemy by itself!"

Guan Yu sighed, stroking his long beard and saying nothing.

Zhang Fei said what he wanted to say but thought it was inappropriate.

In an instant, Guan Yu understood a lot. Sometimes, in dealing with people, one needs to be a good face and the other is a bad face.

The eldest brother is the good guy, that is, the good guy; the third brother is the black face, that is, the one who took the blame.

What about me?What is the function of red face?
Guan Yu fell into deep thought.
