Chapter 603: Langya Zhuge Clan

From the south of the Beihai Sea, it is Langya County.

Relatively speaking, it is closer to go to Xuzhou from Wu County, and according to the time speculation, Liu Zheng guessed that Tai Shici at this time should have occupied Huainan, and through Huainan, he went down to Pi.

When calculating the time, maybe if Tai Shici's speed is fast enough, maybe Xiapi has already been beaten down by Tai Shici's soldiers and horses.

And Liu Zheng went from Langya County to Xuzhou, and he still needed to pass through Donghai County to reach Xuzhou, and the whole route was longer.

Langya County.

This is a very famous place, and the reason why it is famous is because it is the hometown of Zhuge Liang, the first celebrity of the Three Kingdoms.

When Liu Zheng attacked here, it didn't take much effort, and as soon as the army arrived, he directly took down Langya County.

After all, Langya County guarded Zhao Yu, who had already died in the hands of Zang Ba, Zhao Yu took away thousands of soldiers and horses in the county, and the defenders who remained in the city were only 3,000 people.

After entering Langya County, Liu Zheng wanted to go south directly and go to Donghai County, but since he arrived in Langya County, knowing that this was Zhuge Liang's hometown, Liu Zheng was really unwilling not to go to Zhuge Liang.

When I asked the county officials in the city who hadn't run away, I easily asked about the location of the Zhuge family.

Zhuge is in Yangdu County, Langya County, and it is a big family in Yangdu County. Liu Zheng vaguely remembered that Zhuge Liang's father seemed to be a minor official in the late Han Dynasty, so it was not difficult to find Zhuge Liang.

Anyway, find the place where the Zhuge family is, and then ask if there is a child named Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin, and you will know.

Liu Zheng only brought his own 2,000 personal soldiers, spent a day, came to Yangdu County, and after asking the address of Zhuge Jia, he came to Zhuge Mansion in Yangdu, but as soon as he got closer, he found that a funeral was being held here.

This can make Liu Zheng stunned for a moment, and he dressed up a little, and only brought a few cronies such as Dian Wei and Zhou Yu to approach the Zhuge family's mansion, and after a little inquiry, he knew the reason for the matter.

It turned out to be Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Jue, who was sick and went home to recuperate, but he didn't carry it some time ago, and died two days ago.

Liu Zheng vaguely remembered that Zhuge Liang lost his father in his early years, and later grew up with his own comfortable Zhuge Xuan, but what Liu Zheng didn't expect was that by coincidence, when he rushed over, it happened to be the day when Zhuge Liang's father died in history.

In the lobby of Zhuge family, there is a mourning hall.

Fifteen-year-old Zhuge Jin knelt in the middle in sackcloth, on the left and right, one was eight-year-old Zhuge Liang, and the other was the younger Zhuge Jun.

Next to these people, there was a woman in plain clothes, and two girls who were a little older.

The woman is Zhuge Liang's stepmother, because Zhuge Liang's mother died early, she died when Zhuge Liang was three years old, and later Zhuge Jue married another wife, and the two twelve or thirteen-year-old girls on the side were Zhuge Liang's sisters.

Liu Zheng saw these two girls, but it seemed that Zhuge Liang had two sisters, one was married to someone from the Jingzhou Kuai family, and the other was married to Pang Shanmin, the cousin of Feng Xiao in history.

Although the Zhuge family is considered a big family in Yangdu County, Zhuge Jue's family seems a little deserted, except for a few small servants, there are no visitors.

Seeing the appearance of Liu Zheng's group, Zhuge Jin and the others who were kneeling inside got up and came over to ask Liu Zheng's intentions.

"There's a guest."

The little guy standing on the side shouted loudly when Liu Zheng entered the door.

Everyone in the hall walked out, and when they saw Liu Zheng and his party, they first bowed and saluted, and then spoke.

"Are you here to worship your father?"

Fifteen-year-old Zhuge Jin, although he is still underage, has already looked a little like an adult, after his father passed away, Zhuge Jin became the main male of the Zhuge family, the person in charge.

Not only do you have to support your stepmother, but you also have to educate your two younger brothers. Of course, because there is also an uncle Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin in history does not need to do this, but now, Zhuge Xuan is still working as an official outside, and in a short period of time, he can't come back, so it is Zhuge Jin who is in charge at home.

Liu Zheng also looked at the young Zhuge Jin, who was already very sensible, but he didn't ask them if they wanted to take refuge in him as soon as he came, but responded kindly that Zhuge Jin himself was here to defeat Zhuge Jin.

With these few words, Zhuge Jin and the others did not stop Liu Zheng, and Liu Zheng also walked into the lobby, looked at Zhuge Jue's mourning hall, offered incense, and worshipped.

During the whole process, Zhuge Jin seemed relatively cold, and after Liu Zheng worshiped Zhuge Jue, he found a place to rest in the side courtyard of Zhuge House under the leadership of the servant.

Because the mourning hall here will be arranged for seven days, Liu Zheng's side is not easy to put forward the intention of soliciting at this time.

When he learned that Zhuge Jin was going to keep filial piety here for three years after his father's funeral, Liu Zheng became a little calm.

Know, for a while, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang and others will not leave here, they will keep filial piety here for three years, Liu Zheng is not in a hurry to recruit Zhuge Jin and others, but the next day, he said goodbye to Zhuge Jin, and when he left, Liu Zheng also deliberately took out some gold from his own baggage and solemnly handed it over to Zhuge Jin's hands.

Although the Zhuge family is not poor, but after Zhuge Jin died, the family is full of children, no financial resources, life will definitely not be too easy, Liu Zheng wants to use money, first make friends with Zhuge Jin, and wait for Zhuge Jin to finish his filial piety in the future, and then recruit Zhuge Jin, which is also an excellent opportunity.

After a two-day delay in Yangdu, Liu Zheng led his own soldiers and returned to Langya County, where Wen Ping and Zhou Tai did not wait for Liu Zheng here, but led the army to the south to attack Donghai County.

After Donghai County, you can go directly to Xuzhou City, Liu Zheng was delayed in Yangdu for two days, when Wen Ping and Zhou Tai led the army south, but won over.

Donghai County is not big, and it is not important in Xuzhou, just because it is close to the coast, so there are mostly fishermen, of course, there are big families in Donghai, and the relatively large family in Donghai is about to say Donghai Wang.

The Wang family is a prestigious family in all parts of the Han Dynasty, and the famous figures include Wang Yun and Wang Lang.

Wang Yun is the Taiyuan Wang, and Wang Lang is the East China Sea Wang.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wang clan was not a particularly large family, and after a few decades, in the Western Jin Dynasty, the power of the Wang clan developed rapidly.

This is due to Wang Lang's grandson, Queen Yuanji, who married Emperor Wen of Jin and gave birth to Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan.
