Chapter 17, Zhuge Kongming
The real name of Zhi Qu Liu is called Qu Liu, and like Zhi Xiong, another general of Shile, they are all Yuezhi people, and they are surnamed because of their clan. Written as "Yueshi" in the Han Dynasty, Yuezhi was originally an ancient people who were nomadic in the Hexi Corridor and the Qilian Mountains, and were later driven by the Xiongnu and gradually moved westward to Central Asia, and once established a strong Kushan Dynasty. However, there are also some Yueshi people who did not migrate westward, first attached to the Xiongnu, and then attached to the Han, and lived together with the Qiang and Han in Liangzhou.
When Shi Le first started, there were only eight horsemen around him, namely Wang Yang, Jiao'an, Zhixiong, Taobao and others, and later increased to eighteen horsemen, and there were Kong Chang and Zhiqu Liu among the new faces, so Zhiqu Liu was also regarded as a veteran of Yuancong, so he could shoulder the heavy responsibility of staying behind. Today, let's go to see off Shi Le, Pei Gaikou called Shi Le "the lord", Zhi Quliu just listened to it fresh, didn't take it seriously, but in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of the staff officer Cheng Yao laughing and talking with people, indicating that the prince recruited a flattering villain this time, I thought that the children of this kind of family would be so proud and self-respecting, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of shameless soft bones......
Zhi Quliu was furious on the spot. He is a simple person, and there are only three criteria for judging personnel: loyal is a gentleman, and capricious must be a villain; The brave is a gentleman, and the cowardly must be a villain; It is a gentleman who speaks bluntly, and the one who speaks in circles and pats on the back must be a villain! I see that Ming Gong seems to value this Pei Gai very much, and plans to make him the deputy governor of the "Gentleman's Battalion", is it because Ming Gong has lost his eyes this time? No, I have to ask Pei Gai well, if he is really a shameless villain, then give him a beating first, let him have a long memory, and don't spoil Ming Gong's big things in the future!
So he whipped his horse and hurried over, but when he asked, Pei should be sick...... I am a seven-foot man, and I can't teach a sick and weak person a lesson. Well, count him lucky, and wait until he recovers.

After Jian Dao left, Pei should ask the servant to soak the kudzu scarf in cold water and apply it to his forehead - a cold is a minor illness, but he must quickly lower his body temperature first. As for the fact that Zhi Quliu had come to the door, he didn't know anything, and he didn't know that he was blessed by illness and escaped a violent beating for the time being......
His illness was not short, it took three days and three nights for the fever to subside, and he took three more days of medicine before he was finally able to get up and walk. I felt that my body was limp, and my spirit was still tired, and I struggled to step out of the room to breathe a few breaths of fresh air, thinking that this would not work, I had to get better quickly. So he ordered the servant to bring cold water, wiped his face, recalled the radio gymnastics in his previous life, and remembered a few movements, so he practiced in the courtyard and moved his limbs and muscles.
It just so happened that Jian Dao came to deliver the medicine in person, and when he entered the door and saw Pei Gai's movements, his eyes immediately lit up, and he asked: "Isn't this Hua Yuanfang's 'Five Poultry Play'?" β
Pei Caixin said What kind of eyes are you, although the role of broadcast gymnastics is similar to Hua Tuo's "Five Fowl Play", but the "Five Fowl Play" is to imitate the movements of five birds and beasts. shook his head with a smile at the moment: "No, it's just an ordinary evacuation of muscles and bones." β
Looking at Jian Dao's expression, he was a little disappointed. He asked Pei Gai: "It is said that the 'Five Fowl Opera' can eliminate the cheesiness, flow the blood, and make people not sick and live a long life, does Mr. Pei know that it is really so wonderful?" "You family members know a lot, you don't happen to hear of it, do you? Pei Gai shook his head and said: "Maybe it can indeed strengthen the body, but whether it can live a long life, I don't know." Jian Dao still did not give up, and asked: "Legend has it that the 'Five Fowl Play' imitates the actions of apes, deer, bears, tigers, and birds, and there is only one bird among them, so why is it called 'Five Beasts' instead of 'Five Fowls'?" β
When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this is really a good question, but unfortunately I can't answer it - "I really don't know how to 'play five birds', and I have never even seen anyone practice it." β
Jian Dao flattened his mouth, retreated, and went to instruct the servant to decoct the medicine. After Pei finished his activities, he went to greet Pei's living, and then ordered someone to move a Hu bed and put it in the courtyard. Jian Dao came out of the kitchen, and happened to see Pei Gai again, so he stepped forward again to salute, and asked a few more words about his feelings by the way.
Pei Gai said that I am almost better, I can move on the ground, as long as I supplement a little more nutrition, my body can be cured. Jian Dao said Okay, there are Hu soldiers who go out of the city to hunt every day, and I will ask them to send some game to the house tomorrow to improve Mr. Pei's food. Pei Gai nodded: "I'm tired." Then he ordered someone to take another Hu bed to sit on Jian Dao: "If there is nothing important, talk to me." β
Jian Dao was flattered, and then sat down on Pei Gai's side. Pei Gai asked him, "I have a new attachment stone...... The lord ...... "I'll call the lord, and I will continue to call it this until I leave, what are you doing!" "I am newly attached to the lord, and I am not familiar with many generals in the army, so I may teach me?"
Although Jian Dao was not reused by Shi Le, fortunately, he took refuge relatively early, and he spent longer in the army than Zhang Bin, and was responsible for miscellaneous affairs. At the moment, he talked eloquently, not only everyone's name, background, age, resume, but also temperament, temperament, and what affairs he was usually responsible for. This conversation lasted for more than an hour, and Pei should have benefited a lot.
And under the influence of Pei Gai, halfway through the words, Jian Dao also began to run away with his mouth full of "lord". Later, he realized that something was wrong, so he dared to ask Pei Gai: "Mr. is called 'lord', is there an allusion?" "These days, the big guys are talking about it, saying that you made it up, but I always think that you are so high-born and so educated, you must have something to talk about - can you tell me that I can show off to others.
Pei Gai was about to tell him about the origin of the word "lord", so he pretended not to care and smiled, succinctlyβtoo much is deliberateβand Jian Dao suddenly realized: "I see, the Book of Shu has indeed never been read...... Mr. Pei is truly knowledgeable! In fact, not to mention the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu", even the widely spread "Historical Records", "Han Shu" and "Dongguan Hanji", he actually had no chance to see it, and he had read no more than 20 volumes of books in his life, and half of them were medical books and pharmacopoeia.
When it was time to say goodbye, Jian Dao said casually: "Mr. Pei fell ill that day, and General Zhi once wanted to visit, but he was gloomy when he heard the news. Now that my husband is about to recover, I will inform General Zhi that he will definitely come to see him again. β
When Pei Gai heard this, he frowned slightly, and said in his heart that Zhiqu Liu wanted to see me, why did he do it? It stands to reason that since they are colleagues, it is normal to see each other and talk about the world, but the problem is that there is no second person except Jian Dao in these days. Cheng Yao also stayed in Xuchang, he and I were both scholars, and if he wanted to visit, there would be a reason for him to come - but not only did he not come in person, but he didn't even send anyone to greet his illness, probably because he wanted to inflict cold violence on himself. Now that he is idle, and Shi Le has not been assigned a job or task, what reason does Zhi Qu Liu have to come to him?
I really can't figure it out.
ββββββββββ
Zhiqu Liu came to the door two days later.
He first slammed the door with a loud bang, and the old servant had barely pulled the latch from it, when he kicked it in, and kicked the old man four or five feet away. At this time, Pei Gai was writing in the house - the pen and ink tools were naturally sent by Jian Dao, Pei Gai had nothing to do, and planned to read, but Jian Dao himself did not have it by his side, saying that he was going to borrow it from Cheng Yao and others, but he never looked back, so Pei Cai had to rely on writing to pass the time.
In his previous life, he only practiced calligraphy for a few days in elementary school, but fortunately, this parasitic body is very skilled in this skill, and he can write smoothly and steadily. Pei Cai wanted to write out the book that was still in his head silently, so as not to forget it in the future, and then found that what he remembered most was actually the "Theory of Chongyou" by his deceased father Pei Yi.
Based on the environment of the times, Pei Yan also admired and studied Lao and Zhuang, but because I still paid more attention to practice, not Wang Yan and others who only talked about fiction and mysteries, so on the basis of the "sound of the beginning", he put forward the "Chongyou" thought that was-for-tat with the "Chongwu" Shiliu, which had a certain smell of primitive materialism, but it was quite an appetite for the current Pei Gai. So he put pen to paper and wrote: "The husband is always mixed with the group, and the way of Zongji is also." Fang is different from each other, and the products of the common class are also ......"
As a result, there was a loud "bang", and the door was kicked open, causing the last hook of the second "also" word to pick out the elder, completely destroying the beauty of the text. Pei Gai was annoyed in his heart, put down his pen and went out to look, only to see a bearded man walking into the hospital with a grin.
This bearded man may have a white face, but his skin is very tanned, and his dark brown hair and beard are curly; He was about half a head taller than himself, and wore a kudzu shirt with the placket still open, revealing the thick heart hair on his chest; He wears leather boots and carries a whip in his left hand. Pei should recognize that this is exactly the time when the left-behind general Zhi Quliu saw off Shi Le.
As soon as he arched his hand: "General Zhi ......" was about to ask Zhi Quliu why he kicked in the door, when he saw Zhi Quliu lifting his whip and pointing at him from afar: "Are you Pei Cai?" β
"Why do you knowingly ask?"
"Knowingly?" Zhi Qu Liu smiled and said, "I just don't know, that's why I came to ask you!" His Chinese dialect was a little awkward, and his accent was very strong, but fortunately, he was basically able to understand it - he came to Pei Gai in a few steps, stared at a pair of copper bells and asked: "Since you are attached to the Ming Duke, you don't want to serve with loyalty and dedication, but you are flattering, what is the reason?" If you don't give me a good reason today, you will be punished by military law! β
Pei Gaixin said that this is the case, he is here to find trouble, and the root cause should still be in the word "lord". Just waiting to ask rhetorically: "Where am I flattering?" "I also feel that it is purely a parry, and it may not be a deficiency. In the face of such a brutal martial artist, once he is overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum, I am afraid that he will no longer have the power to fight back, and maybe only halfway through the words, the opponent's horsewhip will beckon to him......
Fortunately, his brain turned fast enough, and he sneered at the moment: "How can Zhuge Kongming be flattering?" β
Zhi Quliu's expression was stunned: "Who is Zhuge Kongming?" Didn't you call him Pegai? β
The chill on Pei Gai's lips did not dissipate: "Zhuge Liang's word Kong Ming, hasn't the general heard of it?" β
Zhi Quliu was even more confused: "You are talking about Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty?" And what does that have to do with you? I'm asking you! β
Pei Gai raised a hand and gestured to accentuate his tone: "In the past, Liu Bei was trapped in Jingzhou, and he went to Longzhong to recruit Zhuge Kongming. The lord also recruited me several times and three times, and although I refused twice, he refused to give up - how similar is this to Liu Bei and Kong Ming? What does the general mean, is it because the lord doesn't know people and makes mistakes?! β
