The thirteenth year of Jian'an, not a peaceful year, at the beginning of this year, there were many things that happened, such as Sun Quan adopted the strategy of surrendering the general Gan Ning, and sent troops to attack Xiakou, before Jiangdong had twice conquered Jiangxia, although it failed to break through Jiangxia and kill Huang Zu to avenge his father, but it also made Jiangxia elite lose most of it, and now Jiangxia defenders, most of them are new soldiers, and their combat strength is worrying.

At the same time, Longzhong, Wollongong, Liu Bei finally got his wish after visiting the grass house for the third time, and finally got his wish to see Zhuge Liang, a Longzhong pair that was praised by later generations through the ages, was born in this small grass house, as Zhuge Liang's stepping stone, and at the same time, Liu Bei, who had empty ambitions but didn't know how to show his ambitions, had a clear understanding of the future.

"Kong Ming, there was a craftsman in this Wollongong, do you know?" Shinno, General's Mansion...... That's right, although it is only a land of projectiles, but Liu Bei is General Zuo, and his mansion is the General's Mansion, at this moment, Liu Bei seemed to remember something, looked at Zhuge Liang and asked with a smile.

"Oh, the lord also knows Brother Liu?" When Zhuge Liang heard this, he looked at Liu Bei with a smile.

"Brother Liu?" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhuge Liang with some surprise: "As far as I know, this person is a craftsman......

The implication is that Liu Yi's identity should not be worthy of Zhuge Liang's title.

"Brother Liu is a descendant of the Mo family, and he is indeed proficient in the art of organ forging, he is usually quite low-key, and often considers himself a craftsman, but he can, but not only that, he once strayed into the thief camp in Nanyang, helping a group of thieves to win more with less, and defeating ten times the enemy with three hundred people." Zhuge Liang smiled and put down the pen in his hand, it has been three months since Liu Yi started construction in Jingling, Liu Yi has been busy building the walled city during this time, but the connection with Zhuge Liang has never been broken, and Zhuge Liang has also sent people to the walled city to check.

Now Liu Yi is the Mo family's remarks, in that walled city, almost everyone knows, especially with Huang Zu was killed by Jiangdong soldiers, Jiangxia chaos, Sun Quan moved a large number of people to Jiangdong, but there are also many people fleeing westward, although Liu Yi's walled city has not been completely built, but has accepted a lot of displaced people, some stayed in the walled city, and some only temporarily settled, continue to flee to the Jingxiang area, Liu Yi is the Mo family heir Although the public opinion has not yet fully risen, it has a great reputation in the Nanjun area.

How smart Zhuge Liang is, whether Liu Yi is the heir of the Mo family is open to debate, but from these news, it is not difficult to see what Liu Yi wants to do, although he doesn't know what happened, but he is also happy to help Liu Yi open his eyes once, since Liu Yi is now building a city in Jiangxia, he is a talent that can be won over in Liu Bei's camp in the future, with Zhuge Liang's understanding of Liu Yi during this time, he has a great chance of being able to pull Liu Yi in.

"There is such a thing!" Liu Bei originally thought that Liu Yi was just a craftsman with some peculiar methods, but now it seems that it is obviously more than that, and then he smiled bitterly: "If I knew this, I should have invited him in person that day!" ”

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei in surprise.

Liu Bei gave Liu Yi the car, and then Zhang Fei discovered the beauty of the car and horse, and then Liu Bei sent Guan Ping to invite someone, but Liu Yi had already left and told Zhuge Liang about it.

"If it weren't for Kong Ming's mention, Bei would have almost missed a talent!" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and smiled bitterly.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, the Mo family has gradually disappeared more than two hundred years ago, but the reputation of the Mo family is still enough to bluff people, especially for princes like Liu Bei, who are in urgent need of talents.

"The lord had better not go and invite him immediately." Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was about to get up, and smiled.

"Why is that?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang puzzled: "Could it be that Kong Ming thinks that he ......"

"Definitely." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Don't hide it from the lord, when the lord went to Wollongong for the first time, after meeting the lord, Brother Liu once said that the lord will be able to achieve great things in the future." ”

"In that case, why didn't Kong Ming let me go and invite me?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

"First, he is building a walled city now, and the walled city has not been settled, the lord will go, and he will definitely not follow the lord." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Both, the lord's foundation is unstable now, although Brother Liu sees that the lord is extraordinary, but he is unwilling to take risks easily, so ...... The top priority of the lord is not to visit the virtuous, but to seek a foothold first. ”

"As for Brother Liu, although the lord doesn't have to go to invite him in person, he can also contact him first." Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei and smiled.

"That'...... I wonder what this talented man likes? Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

"Brother Liu loves money." Zhuge Liang smiled.

Liu Bei: "......" Is this really a virtuous talent?

"Don't worry, although Brother Liu loves money, he takes it in a good way, even if the lord gives him money, he may not be willing to accept it." Thinking of what Liu Yi had entrusted with his previous letter, the smile on Zhuge Liang's face became even worse.

"Oh?" When Liu Bei heard this, he became interested, looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Please speak to Kong Mingming." ”

"The lord may wish to entrust someone to build some weapons and armor from Brother Liu, in addition, in the land of Jingxiang, the lord can also negotiate with some familiar generals or Liu Jingzhou to buy ordnance together, buy it from Brother Liu in the name of the lord, and then give it to the armies in Jingzhou, and you can also use this to form a good alliance with the generals of each army."

To put it bluntly, it is to use other people's money to do their own favors, and when Liu Yi's weapons arrive, those people will naturally be able to appreciate the benefits, and then they will naturally look for Liu Bei to continue to build weapons, so that they can quickly help Liu Bei expand his contacts by pleasing favors on both sides.

"Kong Ming's plan is very good." Liu Bei touched his beard and said with a smile, he is already well versed in the world, and he invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, of course, because of his talent, but more, he actually took a fancy to Zhuge Liang's connections in Jingzhou, with Zhuge Liang, he is equivalent to having a relationship with the Cai family, the Kuai family and the Huang family at the same time, this kind of network is sometimes more useful than the talent itself.

"Although Brother Liu is modest, he also has arrogance in his bones, and the lord must not be too lazy." Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled.

"Kong Ming rest assured." Liu Bei nodded, he tossed and turned for half his life, although he didn't have much ability, but he was quite experienced in grasping people's feelings, besides, this is a matter of two benefits, although Liu Bei recruited troops and horses during this time, but weapons, armor and some equipment were in short supply, these things are not something that can be bought with money, otherwise Liu Bei is behind him, but there are large and small wealthy businessmen such as the Mi family and the Kou family to give financial support behind them.

Watching Liu Bei leave, Zhuge Liang sat in place and shook the feather fan silently, and after thinking for a while, he spread out a blank bamboo paper and began to reply to Liu Yi.
