"Grass people Zhuge Liang has seen King Lu!"

"Sir, don't be polite!"

Liu Bei stepped forward to help Zhuge Liang, who was eight feet long, and said politely, looking at the handsome Zhuge Liang for a moment. I don't know if Zhuge Liang is well raised in Jingzhou, or if the Lang Evil Zhuge family in Xuzhou is like this, and he is extremely handsome. Coupled with the majestic posture, he has a good skin. Although everyone in the family values knowledge, their faces can also be light and heavy.

After Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to sit down, he ordered someone to come up with good tea and began to talk with Zhuge Liang.

"In today's troubled times, why does Mr. live in seclusion in Longzhong?"

Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said to Liu Bei: "Liang is the head of the family, since it is a troubled time, find a peaceful place, and let the old and young in the clan live." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, but his face was extremely calm and he continued to ask: "That's not a coincidence, Yingchuan is a place where soldiers must fight, and there will be a lot of wars in the future, so I'm afraid that Mr.'s plan will be frustrated." ”

"What King Lu said is extremely true!" Zhuge Liang lowered his head slightly, glanced at Liu Bei with great meaning, and continued: "But if Yingchuan has been under the rule of King Lu, Liang doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"Oh?!" Liu Bei was a little surprised: "The princes of the eight roads in the world have all been called kings, and the size of their forces is clear and clear. If Mr. Zhuge wants to find a secluded place for the old and young in the clan, I am afraid that Bingzhou is the first choice. ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei calmly again, and said: "King Lu doesn't know that the people of the grass people were originally from Xuzhou Langxi, and they rushed to Yingchuan to avoid the war. Now the state seems to be calm and suitable for settling down, but the land is too cold, and the grass people are worried that the old and young people in the clan will not be able to adapt to the cold and the state. ”

"Yes." When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded and continued: "Then I don't know what Mr. thinks of Xiang Ao, the Yanwang of Bingzhou? ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this, and chuckled in his heart: It seems that King Lu still can't hold back.

"Xiang Ao, the king of Yan, is today's handsome man. It is several years to be in charge of the annexation of the state, and the governance of the annexed state is orderly. He is also very good at using soldiers, and the barbarians who have invaded our Han Dynasty for many years have also been rejected to the north of the Great Wall, which is also a great merit. Zhuge Liang praised Xiang Ao, and then continued: "However, today's world is still the world of the family. ”

"The children of the family follow the will of the sages and shepherd the people of the world. The princes of the Eight Roads, or the eight kings of today, want to dominate the world, and they should get the support of the world's families. Hebei Yanwang is now targeting the family, which seems to make the land of Hebei impregnable, but the hidden danger is still there, but it is impossible to determine the time of the outbreak. ”

Talking about the issue of the family, Liu Bei frowned slightly, and then let go in an instant, looking a little puzzled: "In this way, in the opinion of Mr., King Yan of Hebei will be defeated?" ”

"I can't talk about defeat." Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea, eased the dryness between his throats and continued: "King Yan of Hebei has issued such an edict, which is tantamount to walking between cliffs, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed. ”

Liu Bei was a little puzzled, nodded a little approvingly, and bowed his head in contemplation. After a while, Liu Bei raised his head with a chuckle, looked at Zhuge Liang and said politely: "The Han family is declining, the traitors steal their lives, and the lord is covered with dust." Lonely and not virtuous, wanting to believe in righteousness in the world, and the wisdom is shallow, so it is rampant, as for today. But the ambition is still unfinished! Don't be afraid of Mr. jokes, now among the eight kings, King Bei Zhilu is the weakest, I don't know what good plan Mr. has, so that Bei can realize the grand wish of reviving the Han family? ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, the light in his eyes flashed, and he said to Liu Bei again: "The grass people are not talented, they once had a strategy in Longzhong, and now they are dedicated to King Lu." ”

"Please tell me more about it." Liu Bei's eyes were a little hot, and he became more and more polite, and even returned the salute to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang seemed to be extremely satisfied with Liu Bei's attitude, nodded lightly, and continued: "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. ”

"This Xiang Ao has millions of people, dominating the four states of Hebei, this sincerity can not compete. Cao Cao sat on the four states of the Central Plains, with strong soldiers and horses, rich grain and grass, and was invincible. Sun Quan has Jiangdong, has been three generations, the country 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, and Wuhui is connected to the east, and Tongba and Shu are in the west. Zhuge Liang analyzed slowly, his face was confident and determined: "Yizhou is dangerous, fertile for thousands of miles, the land of Tianfu, and Gaozu has become 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. ”

"King Lu is the emperor of the family, Xinyi is written in the four seas, the heroes are generalized, the thinking is thirsty, if there are Jing and Yi, protect its rock resistance, the west and Zhurong, the south Fu Yiyue, the outside of Sun Quan, the internal cultivation of political affairs; If there is a change in the world, then a general will be the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and the general will lead 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. ”

Liu Bei just planned to call Zhuge Liang Liang at first, if he had some talent, it would not hurt to take it with him, and he did lack a strategist who could give advice to him, and it was also a good thing to be able to share the burden for Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others. After the defeat of Yuan Shu, many families worked for Liu Bei, which eased Liu Bei's thirst for talents.

But with Zhuge Liang's discussion, Liu Bei couldn't calm down. Especially after analyzing the three most powerful kings in the world, Liu Bei could not suppress the shock in his heart, got up a little rudely, came to the map behind him, followed Zhuge Liang's words, and pointed back and forth on the map.

"In the opinion of the gentleman, give up the division?"

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang was extremely satisfied with Liu Bei's reaction, and replied to Liu Bei with a chuckle: "Si Li is the former capital of the former dynasty and the heart of the world, and it will inevitably become a place for all princes to compete for. Since King Lu himself thinks that he is the weakest, why did he want to pocket the land of Henan, which is like a hot potato, and become the target of everyone? ”

Liu Bei suddenly heard this, and a few days ago he exterminated Yuan Shu, and then deliberately ceded Yuzhou to Cao Cao. The plan went smoothly, so that Liu Bei began to be complacent that the princes of the world could not escape his plan and became arrogant. was woken up by Liu Bei's talk today, which made Liu Bei sweat on his back. Thinking of this, Liu Bei turned around, bowed to Zhuge Liang, and bowed deeply: "Bei almost made a big mistake, thank you Mr. Kong Ming for reminding me!" ”

Liu Bei was so polite and virtuous corporal that the self-satisfied Zhuge Liang was shocked, and he quickly got up and saluted back: "Liang is just a grass people, and he doesn't dare to accept such a big gift from King Lu." ”

Zhuge Liang, who bent down and bowed deeply, was frightened at the same time, and at the same time admired Liu Bei. Although the power is the weakest among the eight kings, after all, he is the one who is the king, and the dragon and phoenix among the people. After learning that he had made a mistake, he was so frank and honest. Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, and with Liu Bei's support, he stood up straight and continued to Liu Bei.

"Even so, King Lu's previous decision should be wise!"

"Oh?!" Liu Bei was shocked in his heart, could it be that the matter of the jade seal has been known to people all over the world?

"Although Yuzhou is not the key point in the world, it is not a soldier's battle. But after all, Yuzhou has a large population and fertile land, if it can be based on Yuzhou, it will also be the cornerstone of the Central Plains. The slight respect for Liu Bei in his heart made Zhuge Liang's tone solemn: "King Lu is extraordinary, voluntarily broke his arm, withdrew from Yuzhou, and avoided Cao Cao's troops, which is the best policy." ”

"Forgive the grass people for daring to guess!" Zhuge Liang made a gesture and said: "King Lu sent troops to Luoyang, I'm afraid the purpose is not in Luoyang, right?" ”

"Huh?!" When Liu Bei heard this, his face changed greatly, and his tone suddenly became low and fierce: "I don't know where Mr. got the news?" ”

Although he had been prepared, Liu Bei's reaction still shocked Zhuge Liang's heart, and he said with a wry smile: "King Lu is too worried, King Lu's intentions are just grass people's speculation." ”

"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, what King Lu has done has not shown in the slightest that King Lu is to establish himself as a king and dominate the world. Since King Lu raised his army, he has always taken it as his responsibility to support the Han family, and he is also benevolent and virtuous to the people, and Liang admires it. With King Lu's past performance, he will definitely not recklessly occupy Luoyang for the sake of some immediate interests, and let himself become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of all princes and princes. ”

"In this case, King Lu's occupation of Luoyang is just a way to hide people's eyes and ears."

"If the grass people's guess is correct, King Lu's purpose should be Jingzhou Liu Biao!"

Zhuge Liang said, Liu Bei squinted his eyes, staring at Zhuge Liang who was bent over, as if he wanted to see through the meaning of Zhuge Liang's trip. However, Liu Bei did not answer, and Zhuge Liang always looked down on him, so that Liu Bei could not see Zhuge Liang's intentions. After thinking for a moment, Liu Bei withdrew his grim eyes and became extremely kind and helped Zhuge Liang up again.

"Mr. is talented, he can understand the general trend of the world, and I am admired!"

"King Lu praises!" Zhuge Liang secretly returned with relief and looked at Liu Bei indifferently. Although Zhuge Liang bent over, the eyes that pierced his back like a needle made Zhuge Liang break out in a little cold sweat. It seems that he still underestimates the princes from all walks of life, even when the weakest Liu Bei is angry, he is not able to completely resist it.

Zhuge Liang thought so, waiting for Liu Bei's answer.

"I'm afraid that the gentleman is here not only to poke at the critical point."

"The grass people are not talented!" Zhuge Liang made another gesture and said: "I am willing to help King Lu realize the grand wish of Kuang Fu Han family." ”

"Hahaha..."When Liu Bei heard this, he laughed insolently, stepped forward and patted Zhuge Liang's arm, and said with the same straight face: "If you get Kong Ming's help, this king's great thing can be done!" ”

"Bright and strong."

Then the two sat on their knees again, constantly discussing countermeasures and analyzing the princes of all walks of life. Zhuge Liang is the head of the family, and if he wants to serve Liu Bei, he must settle the affairs of the clan, so he confessed to Liu Bei and left. Liu Bei put away his happy look and looked at Zhuge Liang's departing figure with an uncertain face.
