Chapter 50: Joining Forces to Flicker [One Shift + Two Shifts]
Bingzhou was cloudy because of Jia Xu's affairs, but Jingzhou in the distance was sunny, Zhuge Jin wanted Zhuge Liang to stay, but because Zhuge Liang himself was unwilling to come to Jingzhou, and then Zhou Yu's flickering, Zhuge Jin suddenly made up his mind to go to Bingzhou.
After all, in Zhou Yu's description, Zhuge Liang misses his eldest brother very much, what kind of sadness and sadness to the moon or something, and he has to sigh when he sees the falling flowers and flowing water, Zhuge Jin suddenly felt distressed, and immediately made up his mind to go to Bingzhou reads;.
Zhuge Xuan did not stop this matter, after all, Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Liang's brother, and now he is an adult, he wants to go to Bingzhou to take care of his younger brother, which is a legitimate thing, and no one can stop it.
Not to mention seeing that Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang brothers have a deep relationship, Zhuge Xuan is only happy, how can he object?
After getting Zhuge Jin, Zhou Yu went to visit Sima Hui the next day, Sima Hui is a famous man in Jingzhou, a young and talented young man like Zhou Yu, when he got the opportunity to come to Jingzhou, he naturally wanted to visit.
What's more, Xu Shu had just come before, and Zhuge Xuan saw that Xu Shu and Zhou Yu were talking happily and naturally thought they were friends, so Zhou Yu proposed to meet Sima Hui, and Zhuge Xuan immediately matched Zhou Yu, so he picked a sunny day, and the two big and two small ones from the state went out to visit Sima Hui.
Sima Hui has not been out of office for many years, living in seclusion in the mountains, and studying and teaching disciples on weekdays, so he naturally does not want to be disturbed by the world, so the place where Sima Hui lives is actually a bit remote.
At least the climb of the mountain takes a while.
Probably seeing that the task can be completed, Zhou Yu's mood is still very good, coupled with the beautiful scenery around him, he is well-versed in the past and the present, and he is in a good mood to talk eloquently, it can be said that the four of them are not bored at all along the way.
It's just that after climbing half of the mountain, Zhuge Liang began to snort and pant heavily, and he couldn't climb anymore.
In fact, this is quite normal, he is a child, and unlike Sun Quan because of Sun Ce, who has been beaten and resistant to falling over the years, climbing mountains or something is much easier than Sun Ce's training, Zhuge Liang does not have this condition, even if he practices swordsmanship on weekdays, but it is mostly for the elegance of literati, and Sun Quan is naturally incomparable.
And Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the two generals, not to mention, have climbed the mountain so far that they don't even breathe, and they are not tired at all.
Only Zhuge Liang himself is tired as if he is a heavenly strategy, but he has a stubborn personality and is unwilling to show weakness, so he just follows a few people with his mouth closed and climbs the mountain with his head bored.
Just when Zhuge Liang was really hard to climb, Sun Quan, who was originally walking in front, turned around and stretched out his hand to him: "Xiaoliang, you pull me, I'll take you away." β
Zhuge Liang turned his face slightly: "I can walk by myself." β
Sun Quan thought about it and said: "Well, I know you can walk, but the mountain road is narrow, I'm afraid of falling, let's walk together." β
As he spoke, he handed his hand forward a little more.
Zhuge Liang pursed his lips, of course he knew that Sun Quan was an excuse and even more kind.
So he finally held the hand that Sun Quan stretched out to him, but he secretly swore in his heart that he must exercise well after returning to the state this time, his current physique is better than that of ordinary scribes, but compared with Sun Quan, who has been taught martial arts by Sun Ce since childhood, it is much worse.
Sun Quan pulled Zhuge Liang and didn't mention this stubble anymore, he also understood Zhuge Liang's current state of struggling to speak, so he just took his hand and continued to walk forward.
But...... I just saw Xiao Liang blushing a little =v=
Sun Ce in front glanced back: "The relationship between Quan Er and Xiao Liang is good. β
After all, they are classmates, and children can play together.
Zhou Yu was a little happier: "They have a good relationship, this is a good thing." β
Zhou Yu knows a little about Zhuge Liang, it is said that Su Yunqing personally asked Jia Xu to name the person to stay, although I don't know what Su Yunqing liked about Zhuge Liang a few years ago, but Zhou Yu knows that with Su Yunqing's attention, Zhuge Liang will naturally be different from others when he grows up and enters the officialdom in a few years.
Therefore, the relationship between Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang is good and quite good.
Because Zhuge Xuan pointed out the road before, a few people did not catch the blind after going up the mountain, and successfully found Sima Hui's residence, and then it was simple, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce visited Sima Hui, and Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan followed to see it.
Adults talk about things, and children go out to play on their own.
At this time, it happened that the great Confucian Pang Degong was lecturing to the students, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan also went to listen together, Pang Degong didn't mind two more people, but he intended to take the school examination for two people, so he asked a few questions, and the students of the academy answered decently, which was basically expected by Pang Degong, and finally Pang Degong asked Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan by name.
For Pang Degong's question, Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang answered each other fluently, and the thinking was clear and organized, although many views were a little naΓ―ve and immature, but they had been revealed, which made Pang Degong very surprised, he originally saw that these two children were attracted by the boys around Sima Hui, so he didn't mind them listening to the class, but he never thought that the opinions of these two children were more wonderful than many adults in their twenties here.
So Pang Degong asked, "What are the names of the two of you?" Under whom? β
When did such a brilliant child appear in Jingzhou, and he didn't know at all?
Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan respectfully reported their names, and said that they were studying under Zheng Xuan, and then Pang Degong suddenly realized.
"It turned out to be a disciple of Kang Chenggong, no wonder he was so extraordinary at such a young age."
Zheng Xuan's reputation is known all over the world.
But because of this, Pang Degong roughly knew in his heart that these two children were from Bingzhou, according to rumors, although Su Yunqing was a woman, she was stronger than most men in the world, and dominated the north as a woman, and no one dared to touch her edge.
What does the title of Wu An mean, anyone who has read a little book knows that it has to be at the level of Bai Qi and Li Mu, the Son of Heaven gave Su Yunqing the title of Wu An, although he is not Wu Anjun, but the meaning of this is really intriguing.
Of course, not mentioning Su Yunqing, just looking at the two children in front of him, from small to big, it can be seen that it is not luck to be strong and prosperous.
It's just that this comparison shows that Pang Degong's disciples are not very good, obviously worse than Zheng Xuan's disciples, since ancient times, literati are light, although Pang Degong has no opinion on Zheng Xuan, and even respects this great Confucian very much, but this comparison will not be less, so he immediately ordered a child sitting in the corner to answer the question.
The child sat in the corner, not amazing, and dressed very plainly, and was really ignored at the beginning.
Originally, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan didn't pay much attention to this child, after all, although they were not complacent, they were still a little confident in themselves, coupled with the foil of Pang Degong's disciples before, they felt that there was no one worth paying attention to here except Xu Shu, and Xu Shu was accompanying Sima Hui to receive Zhou Yu and Sun Ce at this time.
But the child named by Pang Degong didn't say a few words, and the expressions of both Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan changed.
What an insight!
The two children glanced at each other, and Zhuge Liang asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Do you want to take this back with you? β
Sun Quan listened to the kid say a few more words, and finally nodded with determination: "Bring reads;!" β
Let's go back first!
Because of Zhou Yu's relationship, Sun Quan knew what the civil officials in Bingzhou were busy, and even Zhou Yu, a military general with a bit of intelligence, was arrested, and Zhao Yun was so scared that he invited himself to be stationed in the frontier as soon as he finished the war.
Especially this kid named Pang Tong is very good, he is a little older than Zhuge Liang, and he belongs to the type that can be used in a few years after flickering back, which is much better than taking other people.
Besides, it's safe to use it after raising it yourself for a few years.
It's just that the two children looked at it but felt that Pang Tong didn't seem to be very popular?
Let's not say that he has unique insights and is obviously very talented, let's just say that Pang Degong values him so much, Pang Tong should also be a man of the year in the academy, right? As a result, Pang Tong was sitting in the corner, and no one around wanted to sit with him, and when Pang Tong was talking, even if the answer was very exciting, except for Pang Degong, the expressions on the faces of others were not the same.
Secretly wrote down this, Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang didn't say much, just continued to listen to Pang Degong's lecture.
When the class was over, when everyone went out for activities, sure enough, Pang Tong was still sitting there alone, Sun Quan had always been cute, he immediately ran out to find a student to talk, Sun Quan looked cute and knowledgeable, and was a disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, besides, people are still guests from afar, and there are no bad people in the students here.
It didn't take long for Sun Quan to come back to Zhuge Liang: "Pang Tong is really not popular, it is said that he is ugly. β
Zhuge Liang looked back at Pang Tong who was sitting in the corner and nodded: "It doesn't look good." β
But......
"Just because of this, it's not like everyone doesn't like to be with him, right?"
What a reason for this!
However, it is not really unreasonable.
This era is not a modern society, modern society advocates that people cannot be judged by their appearance, but for this era, it is normal and even natural to judge people by their appearance, and being an official is also based on face, no matter how good the talent of an ugly person is, he can't be an official, what if he scares the emperor when he is a saint?
In short, this era not only requires both ability and political integrity, but also requires a good face, so it is not a lie to say that there were beauties in ancient times, because ugly people are not allowed to be big officials, so the average appearance of officials naturally went up.
Of course, there are no exceptions, such as Cao Cao's appearance.
But Cao Cao's family is rich and powerful, his father was a captain, and his family is rich in assets, although Cao Cao is not very good-looking, but it is not scary, so he barely became an official.
Pang Tong naturally can't be compared with Cao Cao.
In addition, Pang Tong not only has a bad appearance, but also a bad temperament, even if he is silent and not good at words, he still looks a little dull, which is even more unlikable. But Pang Tong is good at studying, he can compare the students in the academy, this is good, his appearance is not pleasing, and he is better than everyone, and he is silent and does not speak, it is strange that everyone can like him.
Sun Quan touched his chin with a stern expression: "This kind of person is simply tailor-made for Bingzhou." β
Let's not be good-looking, it's time to pull down the average level.
Of course, the most important thing is that Pang Tong can raise the average IQ, Sun Quan thinks that as long as the IQ is high, Bingzhou will not mind a lower appearance.
So the two children ran to Pang Tong upside down, and Pang Tong was not surprised at all by the two of them: "You have something to do with me." β
"How do you know?"
Asked about this, Pang Tong looked at Sun Quan: "I saw you talking to those senior brothers outside, and after you came back, you looked at me many times, and then came to me again, don't you have something to tell me, what can it be?" β
Everyone is a smart person, and this kind of thing can't be hidden at all.
Sun Quan didn't care at all that his intentions were exposed, but said: "I did go to inquire about you, I was just curious about you, there were so many people just now, only you have real talent to learn." β
Other people may not be bad, but if Sun Quan wants to say, it will be a county magistrate for the rest of his life.
This kind of person is incomparable to Pang Tong.
Speaking of this, Pang Tong shook his head: "So what? Without a good looks, I am destined to not even be a county magistrate. β
"That's not easy to say," it was Zhuge Liang who answered: "What kind of achievements a person can achieve, of course, it is related to his own ability, but also related to the environment in which he lives, even if the talent is high, but if there is no good environment to perform, then it is useless, I think your talent is not lacking, so you just need to find a place for yourself to display your talent." β
Hearing this, Pang Tong felt that although these two children were smart, they had never experienced human suffering, and they were always a little too naΓ―ve.
How can things in the world be so simple?
Liu Biao is not only a pastor in Jingzhou, but also a celebrity in Jingzhou, Liu Biao also likes to make friends with scholars on weekdays, and treats Sima Hui very politely and courteously.
Liu Biao himself is a good learner, tall and heroic, so he naturally likes to look good, after seeing Pang Tong, he doesn't need Pang Tong to speak, just look at the appearance of Liu Biao is quite disliked, but Liu Biao is still very personable in the end, in addition to snubbing Pang Tong and not wanting to pay more attention to him, he does not do anything excessive, nor does he ridicule Pang Tong's appearance, it can only be said that he ignores it.
Compared with Liu Biao's enthusiasm for other young talents, his snub to Pang Tong is even more obvious.
So after going back, Sima Hui sighed, but he could say to Pang Tong that Liu Jingsheng is not your master, and if you want to be a master in the future, you don't have to go to him.
Because of this, Pang Tong realized more clearly that no matter how good his talent is, it is useless, and if he does not look good, he is destined to be unimportant, and even like Liu Biao, he just treats him coldly and does not ridicule, and maintains the politeness on face, which can be said to be Liu Biao's benevolence.
But you can't blame him for his bad appearance, his appearance is innate, it's not what he wants, if he can, he also wants to be tall and majestic, but this kind of thing has no choice at all.
Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, and they both felt that they had grasped the point of fooling Pang Tong, and Sun Quan immediately said: "Don't be discouraged because of this, as long as you are willing to look, you can always meet the reads of the person who doesn't mind your appearance;." β
Saying this, Sun Quan also gave Pang Tong an example: "You know the Dianwei of Bingzhou, right? Dian Wei is not good-looking, in fact, his appearance can be said to be completely scary. β
As he spoke, Sun Quan told Pang Tong about Dian Wei.
It is said that once when Dian Wei and Lu Bu came home after hunting together, they met a child crying on the way, Dian Wei was actually very kind-hearted, he immediately prepared to give his newly caught big rabbit to the child to make him happy, the rabbit was picked by Lu Bu, Lu Bu meant that the rabbit was fat and big, not suitable for Cai Yan to raise, simply threw it to Dian Wei and let him take it home to eat meat, at this time this white and fat rabbit was just taken by Dian Wei to coax the child.
However, as soon as Dian Wei opened his mouth, the child didn't cry, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe, and hid behind his own adult, Dian Wei didn't mind, just handed the rabbit to the adult and led the horse away.
Dian Wei really didn't care, he knew that he didn't look good, he had already figured out this kind of thing, besides, the lord didn't mind that he didn't look good, he still reused him, and the soldiers in the barracks didn't care, and the children didn't know if he was a good person, so it was normal for him to be suddenly scared and unwilling to deal with him.
You see that Sun Ce's little Sun Quan is not afraid of him at all.
So Dian Wei's mentality is actually really good.
Hearing this, Pang Tong touched his face, although he was not good-looking, but it was not enough to be scary.
Speaking of which, that guy named Dian Wei is a little uglier than him, right?
Distressed.
No, in fact, there is nothing to feel sorry for, Pang Tong suddenly realized that although Dian Wei is not good-looking, he is now also a general of Bingzhou, and he is deeply used, and he has friends and colleagues, which is much better than himself, who has no one to care about.
It's just that......
"If that's what General Nadian looks like...... And the state pastor doesn't care at all? β
How can you say that it's also your own subordinate, and you have to dangle in front of you from time to time, right? Su Yunqing didn't feel uncomfortable when she looked at Dian Wei?
Sun Quan shook his head: "My lord has already said, what's the use of being good-looking, now this world is not good-looking, people will obey you, if you want to say good-looking, she is better than Yanzhou Cao Cao, and I haven't seen Cao Cao say that he wants to give her all these sites in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, it can be seen that appearance is useless, good-looking is naturally a good thing, and you don't have to care too much if you don't look good. β
Zhuge Liang nodded, and comforted him very sincerely: "Even if everyone in the academy doesn't like you, Liu Biao doesn't value you, don't be discouraged, don't give up, maybe you can find a lord like Su Bingzhou in the future." β
Hearing this, Pang Tong blurted out: "Is there still a shortage of people under Su Bingzhou?" Even if it's a janitor! β
As long as Su Yunqing is willing to use him, he has the confidence to become a big official with his true ability!
All he lacked was an opportunity.
As long as someone can give him a chance.
Hearing Pang Tong's words, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan immediately knew that the matter had been done, of course, they couldn't be too happy at this time.
Zhuge Liang pretended to think about it before saying: "I heard that Su Bingzhou's subordinates are now short of strategists, and the merger state's talent search order is issued once a month, if it weren't for my young age now, I would have signed up to go to the state pastoral mansion to do things." β
Hearing this, Pang Tong felt as if he had finally found the direction of struggle.
Bingzhou is simply the paradise of his dreams!
At this time, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce didn't know that the two children teamed up to fool someone for them, but they were in a good mood, and after a long conversation, Xu Shu basically didn't run away.
Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, with Xu Shu and Zhuge Jin, Jia Xu had to greet him with a smile when he went back this time, right?
At least you don't have to worry about being killed =v=
Emma, I'm so happy, the next few days can be amplified by the waves.
As a result, Zhou Yu was happy here, and Pang Degong was unhappy, because Pang Tong came to him and said that he was going to Bingzhou, and this kid still looked like he had no choice but to go.
Pang Degong just wanted to say what about your studies, but he remembered that there are still Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong in Bingzhou, and Pang Tong's studies will not be delayed.
Well, this one doesn't work, so let's change the reason.
Pang Tong is still young now!
But Pang Degong just said that Pang Tong was too young to go out alone, let alone a place so far away from Bingzhou, but Pang Tong said that his senior brother Xu Shu had already decided to go to Bingzhou, and if Pang Degong promised him now, then he could just go with Xu Shu.
Pang Degong: "......"
Feelings: This kid has calculated everything, right?
So when Zhou Yu came, there were four people, but when they left Jingzhou, there were seven people, and in addition to Zhuge Jin and Xu Shu, there were also two adults, Pang Tong, a minor, and a considerable team.
Pang Tong is actually still a little inferior, Sun Quan Zhuge Liang's appearance is good, Sun Ce is not bad, not to mention Zhou Yu, it seems that he is the only one in this crowd who is not good-looking.
But Zhou Yu didn't despise Pang Tong after seeing him, and of course he wasn't too polite, but his attitude was the same as treating ordinary people, but this kind of approach really moved Pang Tong.
Needless to say, contempt and ridicule, I am afraid that excessive enthusiasm is also likely to be pretended, but it is Zhou Yu's ordinary attitude that proves that Zhou Yu does not have the slightest contempt for him, but truly treats each other equally.
Zhou Yu under his command is still like this, but what about Su Yunqing as the lord?
Pang Tong didn't know.
But he is not yet the age to become an immediate leader, he can look at it for a few years before he can do it.
After leaving Jingzhou, the next goal of the group was to go to Sun Ce's hometown.
But when the group was halfway there, they saw a man blocking in the middle of the road, and when he saw a few people, he asked, "Who among you is Sun Ce?" β
The menacing appearance of holding a weapon in his hand looks like a complete revenge seeker!
Zhou Yu couldn't help but look at Sun Ce: "Do you know?" β
Could it be that when did Sun Ce offend people?
Sun Ce shook his head blankly: "...... I haven't seen it. β
