The two laughed at each other for a while, and then slowly put away their smiles together.

"Do you really want to go back?"

"Well, Jingzhou has no future, stay in Jingzhou or go north to Jizhou, which one has a future, Kong Ming, can't you see it?"

"I can see it."

"What about you...... Is it because of your wife? ”

Xu Shu also knew Zhuge Liang's situation, among their group of friends in the north, only the Zhuge Liang family successfully opened up the situation in Jingzhou. : :

This is thanks to Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan, the ability to drill the camp is first-class, the north is still in the era of war, and people continue to flee south to Jingzhou, many people envy Zhuge Liang for having a good uncle.

Zhuge Xuan laid the foundation for Zhuge Liang, so that Zhuge Liang could enter the upper social circle of the Jingxiang people and have a huge network of relationships.

This network of relationships was an important support for him to gain Liu Bei's favor in the future of another time and space, and to seek to seize Jingzhou for Liu Bei.

With this network, Zhuge Liang is valuable and energetic, so he can open up the situation for Liu Bei in such a strange situation as Jingzhou after the Battle of Chibi, first take the four counties of Jingnan, and then take the southern county, and gain a firm foothold.

But the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the north was quickly swept away by Guo Peng, and after Yuan Shu became emperor, the north was beaten by Guo Peng's combination punch.

Hebei, the Central Plains, Huainan, Huaibei, and Guanxi, no one can compete with Guo Peng, and they have been defeated.

Soon, the essence of the entire Han Dynasty was swept away by Guo Peng, except for the two wild lands of Liangzhou and Liaodong, the essence of the land was controlled by Guo Peng.

When stability is restored in the north, there is a foundation for development.

Subsequently, Guo Peng greatly revitalized Tuntian, built and restored, various major projects were launched one after another, people's livelihood prospered, trade prospered, and all localities were in the process of recovering their vitality, and gradually there was a tendency to return to before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

In contrast, the first attractive element of "safety" that the land south of the Yangtze River once possessed no longer exists.

Security is also beginning to return to the north.

In Jingzhou, he has to be angry with the locals, and there is no future for development, Liu Biao can't meet the needs of so many people, and can't meet the expectations of outsiders for him, so of course the outsiders can only be disappointed in him.

The northern region is vast, more developed, more culturally prosperous, more prosperous, and more open, and they have more opportunities to return to their hometowns, so the choice is certain and definitely not unfounded.

So, everyone returned north one after another, no longer hesitating, Xu Shu was just one of them.

None of them had a good uncle like Zhuge Liang to pave the way for him, paving the way for the Zhuge family who was born in Xuzhou to go in Jingzhou, so that Zhuge Liang had a way to go in Jingzhou.

They all have no way out.

In fact, Xu Shu also understands that many people don't like Zhuge Liang, don't associate with him, and even despise him, part of the reason is that they are jealous that Zhuge Liang has a good uncle who can pave the way for him.

For this reason, they even created public opinion, saying that the Zhuge family used marriage to raise their value, sell their daughters for honor, have ill intentions, and have deep thoughts.

Zhuge Liang, who was forced by this, could not even be promoted to be filial and honest in Jingzhou, and had to live in Longzhong for a long time to maintain his hopes on the grounds of concentrating on studying, and make a corresponding gesture to maintain the reputation of the Zhuge family.

Zhuge Liang walked cautiously, for fear that if he took a wrong step, Zhuge Clan's layout in Jingzhou would be over, and there would be no way out even among the scholar groups.

Hearts of people......

Xu Shu kept shaking his head and sighing.

"There are also part of the reasons for the wife, but the main thing is the uncle."

Zhuge Liang frowned, and his tone was not good.

"Uncle for Zhuge to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, hard work, to have today's Zhuge family, if I give up everything and leave Jingzhou, uncle's sacrifice is meaningless? What is the significance of my sister's marriage to Kuai and Ponzi? ”

In front of Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang didn't tell lies, but said everything in his heart.

Those people are right, Zhuge is selling his daughter for honor.

Zhuge Xuan was sacrificing his daughters to Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun in exchange for a way out in Jingzhou.

Because of the sacrifice of his two sisters, in exchange for the marriage of Zhuge Liang and the Huang family, Zhuge was included in the upper social circle of Jingzhou.

It's still good luck to be able to drill camps, it's Zhuge Xuan's ability, so many exiled families have no way to sell their daughters.

This is something that everyone knows well, and it is also something that the family that has always done in order to obtain a high position is nothing unusual in itself.

But this kind of thing needs a fig leaf when doing it, Confucian scholars need a fig leaf, and doing things is to pay attention to a nominal reasonableness, and now someone doesn't talk about the rules of the game to lift the fig leaf, what else is this playing?

Those people have no way out, so they don't care about it, and they harm others and themselves with one hand, what can young Zhuge Liang do?

can only live in seclusion in Longzhong and put on a posture of cultivating and reading heirlooms, wasting a good youth to tide over the crisis.

Xu Shu, who knew this, sighed.

"Kong Ming, we can't go against the general trend of the world, the general trend of the world is just around the corner, in the past, Jingzhou is a rare pure land, in order to survive, it is not difficult to understand that the elders in the family will make such a decision, but the situation is abrupt, the world is impermanent, and now, the situation is different from the past.

The north has been basically pacified, the Duke of Wei has occupied Sili, and the state, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, the thirteen states in the world, the Duke of Wei alone occupies eight of them, where is the general trend of the world, can't Kong Ming see it? This is the last chance we have been waiting for!

In the past, the contribution of the elders was meaningful, but the situation has changed abruptly, and the changes you have made are meaningless? Continue to stay in Jingzhou, Kong Ming, can you really revitalize the Zhuge clan? It is a foregone conclusion that Duke Wei will go south, if you stay in Jingzhou, do you want to resist Duke Wei for Liu Jingsheng? ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.

"The mantis arm is just a car, that kind of thing, how can I do it? Liang is not a person who can't see the general trend of the world. ”

"So, Kong Ming, I understand your feelings, and I know your thoughts, but the general trend is like this, we can't go against the general trend, whether it's me, Guangyuan, or Gongwei, or Cui Gong who left before, are we all people who have seen the general trend wrong?"

Xu Shu held Zhuge Liang's hand and persuaded bitterly: "Don't wait, it's impossible, Duke Wei will go south sooner or later, and the world will be swept away by Duke Wei sooner or later, if I don't leave Jingzhou and return to my hometown, I will inevitably encounter the disaster of soldiers, is this what you want to see?" ”

Zhuge Liang was silent for a while and shook his head. Fastest update Desktop::/

"This is by no means what I want to see, but if I leave, what will my sister do? They can't go, Pang Clan and Kuai Clan are both Jing Xiangshi people, so they won't leave, once Duke Wei goes south, wouldn't it be dangerous for the family sister? ”

"Unless the Kuai clan and Pang Clan are determined to oppose Wei Gong, how can Wei Gong attack Kuai and Pang Clan? Even if Jingzhou is breached, it is estimated that only the Jiangxia Huang clan will suffer, and among the others, which one is willing to follow Liu Jingsheng to rebel against Duke Wei? ”

Xu Shu smiled sarcastically: "Cai's? Cai Deqi praised Wei Gong for the heart of the country and the people, and even wrote an article to praise Wei Gong's merits for this reason. In my opinion, if Duke Wei goes south, the first one to surrender will be Cai Deqi! ”

Zhuge Liang stopped talking.

Ordinary people don't know, but in the circle of the upper class, and studying in the academic hall, what happens in the world, their group of people must be the first people in the entire Jingzhou to know.

To put it mildly, Cai Mao is like Guo Peng's licking dog, often praising Guo Peng's great achievements, as if Guo Peng is his lord, and Liu Biao is not.

Liu Biao is not without opinions on this, but he is also helpless.

He wants to sit firmly in the position of General Mu Zhennan of Jingzhou, and he can't do without Cai's help, without Cai's help, what can Liu Biao do?

Therefore, Liu Biao is already a leader who has been set aside, and in the face of Guo Peng, who has the world's heroes, Liu Biao is fragile and almost completely defenseless.

What's the point of him staying here?

Is it just to be a scholar in the fallen land?

Zhuge Liang sighed, leaned less, and showed Xu Shu the letter written by Zhuge Jin to him.

After Xu Shu finished reading, he was very surprised.

"Brother Ling has already appeared under the command of Duke Wei?"
