After the fleet approached the Lang Evil Country, it found an uninhabited beach to stop broadcasting. Putting down the wooden planks and forming a bridge, Gongsun Kang led hundreds of people into the Lang Evil Country. Tai Shi Ci stayed on the ship to answer.

The hundreds of people were divided into more than a dozen teams. Divided into counties. Gongsun Kang and Guan Hai took a few guards as a team, pretending to be a traveling bachelor to observe the people's customs.

The rest of the people and others have various tasks for the inspection record. More than 20 of them are staff officers. What they want to keep track of is where to disembark and whether there are any easy ambushes on the way. The thickness and height of the city walls of each county town and Kaiyang City, and whether there is a bed crossbow on it. whether the terrain in front of the city wall is open, whether there is a place to camp, what is the water source, and whether it is convenient to get water; What about the woods outside the city? Is it possible to make siege ladders in large quantities.

What is the situation of the wealthy families in the county, and how many private soldiers are there; How many county soldiers are there in the county, and what is the combat effectiveness? These two items were mainly completed by the meticulous work sent by Cao Huachun in advance.

In order to successfully capture Xuzhou, Liaodong invested a lot of money. In every county in Xuzhou, hotels, inns or shops have been opened. A dense network of fine crops has been formed.

Of course, Gongsun Kang also instructed that if Cao Cao came to attack Xuzhou, the places he had to pass through along the way could be withdrawn immediately to avoid unnecessary losses, because Cao Cao was going to slaughter the city, and no one would be left alive!

When you arrive in the Lang Evil Country, there are two people you can visit: Xu Sheng and Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang, the word Kongming, the number Wolong (also known as Fulong), Han nationality, Xuzhou Langya Yangdu (now Yinan County, Linyi City, Shandong) people.

He was born in the fourth year (181) of Emperor Guanghe of the Han Dynasty in Yangdu County, Langxi County, a family of officials, Zhuge is the Wang family of Langxi, the ancestor Zhuge Feng was a lieutenant of the Sili School when Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, and Zhuge Liang's father Zhuge Jue was a Taishan County Cheng in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

He is now 12 years old, Gongsun Kang doesn't want to disturb his life trajectory, in case the prime minister of Shu does not go to Jingzhou because he has been ruined, and he does not become a talent, then there is really no place to cry.

Zhuge Liang successively studied under Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Feng Gongjiu and others.

Sima Hui mainly taught Tao Strategy, Feng Gongjiu mainly taught astronomy and geography, and Huang Chengyan mainly taught formations, organs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, astrological medicine, and Qimen Dunjia.

In addition, Zhuge Liang made a wide range of friends, and Runan Meng Gongwei, Yingchuan Cui Zhouping, Xu Shu, Xiangyang Pang Degong Pang Tong uncle and nephew relationship is particularly close, exchanges are also an important source of rich knowledge, extensive interpersonal relationships and rich knowledge base, finally created a generation of military wizards.

If he didn't go to Jingzhou, there would be no Wolong. Because these teachers and friends of his are all in Jingzhou.

But letting him go so easily is not Gongsun Kang's style.

Gongsun Kang and his entourage still ran to Yangdu County and found Zhuge Liang's home.

Zhuge Liang's family background was different from that in Nanyang, Jingzhou, where Zhuge Liang was ploughing in the fields and a few thatched houses; Now in Yangdu County, the Zhuge Liang family has accumulated for several generations, carved railings and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions, a large manor, and a large family business.

It was the evil Cao Cao who broke all this, otherwise Zhuge Liang would be a young master with fine clothes and food, and there were many servants and maids; When he grew up, he inherited the family business, that is, he was a big man, he had plenty of food and clothing all his life, and he was a wealthy family; And after leaving all this and running to Jingzhou, it was a foreign household, and the acres of land were lost again, and the family road fell into the middle and became a cold door. No wonder Zhuge Liang hated Cao Cao later and hated him for a lifetime!

Xiao Zhuge is very handsome, has a long body, and has an extraordinary temperament at a young age. Very politely asked Gongsun Kang, who came to visit: "What is the matter with the guests?" ”

"Oh, nothing big, just to meet you." Gongsun Kang grinned. wanted to pinch Zhuge Liang's face, looking at Zhuge Liang's serious appearance, but he was embarrassed to start.

"By the way, do you know the Eight Array Diagram and Qimen Dunjia?" Gongsun Kang asked Zhuge Liang with a smile.

"Liang doesn't understand." Zhuge Liang looked at this strange young man inexplicably, and always said something weird.

"I don't understand either," Gongsun Kang said, "but I know you'll understand later." Can you teach me when you understand it? ”

"Liang didn't dare to promise easily" Zhuge Liang said seriously: "May I ask the guest's surname?" ”

"I can't tell you my name now, but telling you will change your life." Gongsun Kang is also a serious nonsense. "Ten years from now, we'll meet again, and you'll know my name by then." ”

The meeting with Zhuge Liang was actually not pleasant, Gongsun Kang had a lot to say, but if he said it, it would affect Zhuge Liang, so he couldn't say it.

Finally, Gongsun Kang asked Zhuge Liang, "Do you want any gifts?" I can give it to you. ”

"Liang doesn't need" Zhuge Liang is a good boy, how can he ask for a gift from a stranger?

"Soon, your uncle will come back to pick you up and take you to Jingzhou. I'll leave two jars of wine for your uncle to drink. Gongsun Kang finally put on a magic stick.

If you give money, Zhuge Liang will resolutely refuse. And the wine was the wine that was pointed out to his uncle, and Zhuge Liang accepted it after a few excuses.

Xu Sheng, the word Wenxiang, is a native of Ju County, Langxiguo, Xuzhou (Ju County, Rizhao City, Shandong).

Others' evaluation is: loyal and diligent, courageous and strategic, and praised by Chen Shou as "the tiger minister of Jiangbiao".

Hear with integrity and courage. Every time Sun Quan chooses a fighter, Sheng Chang is in front.

Wisdom is enough to resist the people, courage is enough to defeat the enemy, and there is no one who does not obey the order.

To put it simply: Xu Sheng is a person who is courageous, brave and strategic, and always charges ahead in battle.

For recruiting Xu Sheng, things are much simpler. Xu Sheng's family road has fallen, and it should be regarded as a cold door. Now he is a poor ordinary person, living in a slum with his family.

Sun Qian came to visit with some money and cloth. said to Xu Sheng: "My lord heard that you have martial arts and have a good character. Would you like to hire you as a guest? ”

Keqing is not a house slave, but still has a very high status.

Xu Sheng didn't have any lofty ideals now, and when he saw that he could change his poor life, he agreed.

After arranging the house, Xu Sheng and Sun Qian walked outside the county seat, and in the open space, some people dressed as family members surrounded them. The leader is Gongsun Kang.

Sun Qian introduced to everyone, and when he heard that it was Sun Kang, the pastor of Qingzhou, Xu Sheng was taken aback.

Gongsun Kang smiled slightly: "My identity is not good to be disclosed in Xuzhou, so I didn't invite you in person, and I neglected Wen Xiang." ”

Xu Sheng didn't even dare to take it, but he didn't kneel and salute, he just bowed his hand, obviously not believing it.

Gongsun Kang knew it, but he didn't say anything, just asked Xu Sheng to get on the boat together.

Seeing the thousands of Liaodong soldiers on several ships, with sharp weapons, Xu Sheng believed it. Now that he had boarded the thief ship, Xu Sheng had no choice but to bow down: "Lord! Xu Sheng is willing to serve the Lord! ”

Gongsun Kang was overjoyed, helped Xu Sheng up, and called Xu Sheng's family to meet him.

It turned out that after Xu Sheng and Sun Qian left, the Liaodong Army had already picked up Xu Sheng's family on the ship.

Xu Sheng secretly wiped a cold sweat, knowing that if he didn't confess on the spot, he was afraid that his life and that of his family would be difficult to protect.
