Longzhong, Zhuge Liang Caolu. Liu Du went to visit Zhuge Liang for the third time, and the first two times Liu Du tried his best to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain, Zhuge Liang did not make a decision.

Liu Du and Zhuge Liang had a long talk in the room, and Liu Du said: "The Han family is declining, the traitors steal their lives, and the lord is covered with dust." I don't measure my virtue and strength, I want to believe in the righteousness of the world, and my wisdom is shallow, so I am trapped in Wuling and Lingling, as for today. However, the will is still unfinished, and the gentleman will be settled? ”

Zhuge Liang replied: "Since Dong Zhuo has come, heroes have been combined, and there are countless people who have crossed states and counties. Cao Cao is compared to Yuan Shao, and his name is small and outnumbered, but he can Keshao, and the weak are strong, not only the time, but also the people. Today, the situation between Cao and Shao is reversed, Cao will eventually annex Shao, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes, this sincerity cannot be competitive. Han Hao owns Jiangdong, although Han Xuan is dead, his politics are not chaotic. Jiangdong is dangerous and the people are attached, and the meritocracy is used for it, which can be used for aid but not for the sake of it. Jingzhou is based on the Han Dynasty in the north, and the South China Sea is exhausted, connecting Wuhui in the east, and Tongba and Shu in the west. Yizhou is dangerous, fertile for thousands of miles, the land of abundance, and Gaozu became an emperor because of it. Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is in the north, the people are rich and the country is rich but does not know how to save it, and the wise man thinks of Mingjun. The general is the emperor's family, the letter is written in the four seas, the heroes are in charge, the sage is thirsty, if there are Jing and Yi, protect its rock resistance, the west and Zhurong, the south Fu Yiyue, the outside is good Han Hao, and the internal government is cultivated; If there is a change in the world, he ordered a general to take the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and the general led the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. If this is the case, then the hegemony can be achieved, and the Han family can be prosperous. ”

Zhuge Liang told Liu Du what he was going to say to Liu Bei, and Liu Du sighed: "Han Xuan is my opponent, so he died early." Han Hao is not worried, Jiangdong has a vast land, why did Mr. persuade me not to try it? ”

"The general should first unite with Han Hao and defeat Cao Cao. After entering the Central Plains and the world is settled, then send troops to fight a decisive battle with Han Hao, and then you can decide the battle in one battle! Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan and smiled.

Zhuge Liang is not a fledgling, and he knows that he has three parts of the world, which is great in the eyes of the ancients. But seeing Liu Du smiled: "What Mr. Wolong said is that the world is only the land of China, and the world is far less big than my Huaxia Kyushu." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't expect this to happen, looking at Liu Du's incomparably confident eyes, he asked curiously: "What is the world that the general said?" ”

Liu Du put down the tea bowl in his hand, gestured his fingers on the map treasured by Zhuge Liang, and began to teach Zhuge Liang a lesson: "The world is a sphere, Du and Mr. are both born on this sphere, and they are named "earth"! The size of the earth is beyond anyone's imagination, and there are countless countries outside the territory.

On the east side of the sea, there is a peninsula to the east, and there are many small countries on the island. Further east, there is an island, on which there is a country called the Wa Kingdom. Four hundred years ago, when Qin Shi Huang asked for immortals, he had ordered Xu Fu to go.

There is a country south of Jiaozhou, and it is called the Chola Dynasty, which rose at this time. From Sijon to the west, there was a country called the Persian Empire.

Further west, there was an empire called the Roman Empire, which was even stronger than the Han Dynasty, and the Roman Empire controlled most of the northern British Isles, and the Roman Emperor also built the Great Wall to resist the invasion of barbarians.

However, the political situation in the Roman Empire is unstable, and it is somewhat similar to that of my Han Dynasty. There are many miracles in foreign countries, if you can unify the Han in your lifetime, you will definitely follow the long-term strategy with Mr. ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Du in shock: "What the general said, Liang's life is unheard of. Is this extraterritorial country really as the general said, its territory is bigger than my Han Dynasty? ”

Liu Du nodded affirmatively, and Zhuge Liang asked, "General Fei has been to this extraterritorial place, how do you know so much?" ”

Liu Du looked embarrassed, so he had to fool and say: "Du also heard from a study tourist, this person is the descendant of my Han envoy Zhang Qian in the past, Zhang Qian heard many legends of this foreign country when he passed through the Western Regions. ”

Zhuge Liang sighed: "There are so many wonders in the world! Since the general has such a capable person to help, why should he ask me? ”

Liu Du was anxious, and said in his heart that I was also going to take Jingzhou and then Xichuan, but Liu Biao and Liu Zhang were not soft persimmons, so I asked you to go out of the mountain to let you help me seize Xichuan and give advice.

Liu Du invited Zhuge Liang and said: "Although Du is famous and virtuous, he has long admired Mr. Liang's talent. May Mr. not abandon the despicable and go out of the mountains to help. Listen to the teachings. ”

Zhuge Liang got up and turned his head and said: "Liang Jiule is plowing and hoeing, he is too lazy to respond to the world, and he can't follow orders." ”

Liu Duxin said, grandma's, if you don't let me learn from Liu Bei, cry and cry: "The eldest husband holds the genius of the world, how can he be old under Lin Quan?" Mr. is not out, such as the common people! ”

After Liu Du finished speaking, tears flowed down his eyes, staining the cuffs of his robe, and the neckline was wet with tears. Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Du was very sincere, and he was also very moved when he looked at him in the grass house. Although he has never seen Liu Bei, Liu Bei has no place to stand, and Liu Du still has two counties, Wuling and Lingling, the starting point is higher than Liu Bei, and the hope of reviving the Han family is also greater.

Zhuge Liang then said to Liu Du: "The general will not abandon each other, and is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses." ”

Liu Du couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun were now under his command, he just wanted to shout: "Who else!" ”

Liu Du asked Zhao Yun to come into the house to worship, and the entourage offered the golden silk gifts. Zhuge Liang resolutely refused to accept it, and Liu Du said: "This is not a gift for hiring a great sage, but it shows Liu Du's heart." ”

Zhuge Liang just accepted the gift, so Liu Du, Zhao Yun and others stayed overnight in the village. The next day, Zhuge Jun came back, and Zhuge Liang instructed him to say: "I am favored by Emperor Liu's three cares, and I can't let it go." Thou shalt plough here, and thou shalt not leave the fields wasted. On the day I am accomplished, I will be hidden. ”

After Zhuge Liang, Liu Du and Zhao Yun said goodbye to Zhuge Jun, they returned to Wuling with Liu Du, and Liu Du discussed with Zhuge Liang every time he encountered major events in the army. Zhuge Liang took a photo with Li Ru and Li Dao, but did not communicate in private to show his innocence.

It is said that Yuan Shao listened to Tian Feng's words and made arrangements to resist Cao Cao's advance. summoned the second son Yuan Xi to lead 20,000 troops from Youzhou; The eldest son, Yuan Tan, led 30,000 troops from Qingzhou; His nephew Gao Gan also brought in 20,000 troops, came from the state, and successively went to Jizhou to help in the war. Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and then reorganized the people to fight Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao was leading the victorious troops and lined up on the river, and the locals came to greet him. Cao Cao saw that his father and elders had all their hair white, so he ordered them to sit in the tent and asked, "How old is the old man?" ”

The old man replied, "I want to be nearly 100 years old." ”

Cao Cao bowed his hand and said: "My soldiers disturbed Ruxiang, and I was very uneasy. ”

The fathers and elders said: "When Emperor Huan, there was a yellow star seen in Chu and Song, and Yin Kui, a native of Liaodong, was good at astronomy, and stayed here at night, and said to the old man: Yellow star is seen in Qianxiang, and it is here. In the next fifty years, when there was a real person between Liang Pei. Now counting the years, a full fifty years. Yuan Benchu focused on the people, and the people resented him. Sikong Xing benevolent and righteous soldiers, hanging the people to fight crimes, Guandu battle, breaking Yuan Shao's millions of people, just in response to the words of Yin Kui, Zhaomin can hope for peace. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "How dare you be what the old man said? ”

Cao Cao then ordered people to take wine, food, silk and silk, and send them back to the old man. Ordered the three armies: "If anyone goes to the countryside to kill chickens and dogs, it is like a murder!" So the soldiers and civilians were shocked. On the way back, the old man stroked his beard and said: "Sun Ce should have died a long time ago, and Han Xuan's rebellion will be repaired by us!" ”

Cao Jun probed Ma to report that Yuan Shao gathered troops from four states, got nearly 100,000 horses, and went to Cangting to go down to the village. Cao Cao raised his troops to advance, and the next village was decided. The next day, the two armies faced each other, each in formation. Cao Cao led the generals out of the battle, and Yuan Shao also led the civil officials and military generals to the front of the battle.

Cao Cao said: "The original plan is exhausted, why don't you think about surrendering?" Wait for the knife to come to the item, and regret it! ”

Yuan Shao was furious and ordered the vanguard Sun Ce to lead 3,000 soldiers to charge the battle first, and Yan Liangwen and Chou responded on both wings. Sun Ce is meeting the two generals of the Cao Army, these two are Xue Hong and Miao Shang, the old generals of Xue Hong and Miao Shang, Sun Ce rushed to the bullfight with a spear, and the battle was not three, and the heads of Xue Hong and Miao Shang were beheaded. Shi Lian rode his horse to arrive, and Sun Ce picked up Xue Hong's double knives and flew towards Shi Lian. As soon as Shi Jian opened the double knife, Sun Ce stabbed him with a shot, and Shi Jian was stabbed in the chest. Fortunately, Xu Chu rescued him and saved his life. Yuan Shao saw that Sun Ce was victorious, waved his whip, and the army came over together, and the melee was killed.

Cao Cao discussed with everyone the strategy of breaking Yuan Shao, Guo Jia said: "In the past, Han Xuan captured Sun Ce with a ten-sided ambush, and now the Ming Duke can also break Yuan Shao with a ten-sided ambush. You can retreat on the river, ambush ten teams, lure Shao to chase to the river, our army has no way to retreat, it will fight to the death, and it can win Shao. ”
