Chapter 3 The Emperor's Uncle Comes to Ask
I know that in the long years from Kong Ming's departure from the mountain to the Battle of Chibi and even Liu Bei's capture of Hanzhong, although Liu Beifang has always been weak in terms of military strength, the trend has always been thriving, and the two points that led to Liu Beifang's rapid decline were Guan Yu's careless loss of Jingzhou and Lu Xun's burning of Yiling. Now that I follow Kong Ming, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and my life safety is only as good as I am clever, and I should be able to guarantee no accidents.
So for me, since I have crossed into this era, the number one goal is naturally to realize my long-cherished wish, that is, to help Guan Yu defend Jingzhou and realize Kong Ming's wish to destroy Cao from two roads and revive the Han family!
However, if I want to help Guan Yu understand Guan Erye's empty-eyed and temperamental temperament that likes military exploits, what qualifications do I have as a little scholar to persuade him not to attack Fancheng, but to withdraw his troops when he has a great opportunity? What's more, the order to attack Cao's side was still given by Liu Bei, and if Guan Yu can listen to me at that time, I must have a high status in Liu Bei's army.
How to get the qualification to persuade Guan Yu depends on my blind imagination now, I must have no clue, fortunately, there is still a long time before that extremely dangerous moment, I am determined to perform well in Liu Bei's army in the period before Guan Yu attacks Fancheng, and strive to become an important person who can speak without being treated as air at that time, if this is the case, it is possible to use his own advice to prevent Guan Yu's soldiers from being defeated and killed at that time, and the tragedy of the hope of reviving the Han family will quickly wither.
Of course, I am still just a little scholar next to Zhuge Liang, I am only thirteen or fourteen years old in this era, and I am not much better than passers-by in the drama of the Three Kingdoms, the only thing I can do now is to wait for Liu Bei, a super trio, to come to the door, and look for opportunities for me to emerge temporarily on the road of life in the future.
Liu Bei, this guy is even more anxious than expected. Only the next day I heard someone banging on the wood door outside the cottage.
I immediately became nervous all over my body, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, no matter which of the three brothers were taken out alone, they were all big names, and now they can let me see them all at once!
However, in order not to destroy Kong Ming's "hunger marketing" method, I can only hold up my momentum and open the door to face the three heroes of Taoyuan.
Of course, in order to avoid my momentum weakening immediately after seeing these three, I thought of a way to divert my attention, I tried my best to let me think about the little beauty Yuqing I just met yesterday, thinking that if Kong Ming doesn't go out of the mountain, I can have a lot of time with her, as soon as Kong Ming comes out of the mountain, I naturally have to follow, then I have to separate from Yuqing, after raising the hatred for Liu Bei to the height that he wants to separate me from Yuqing, I finally have the best state of hostility to Liu Bei that I want now.
The first thing that caught my eye when I opened the door was a middle-aged man of some age, with his ears hanging down his shoulders and his arms were indeed longer than ordinary people. But to be honest, even so, his image is still very good, I saw that his face was like a crown of jade, his lips were greased, and his body faintly exuded some imperial aura. The most important thing is that he looks very humble, although others will naturally respect him when they see him, but he does not have the slightest domineering appearance.
Of course, the reason why I think he has the air of an emperor is because I have long known that he will be the emperor in Chengdu sooner or later, and he will divide the world into three parts. The second is that the two tower-like big men behind him are too strong for him!
The person on the right hand behind him has a face like a heavy jujube, a long beard and a chest, not angry and arrogant, and at first glance it is Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, the number one people I want to help in the Three Kingdoms. And the left-hand person behind Liu Bei was like black charcoal, and standing there naturally exuded a kind of evil aura, which made people feel afraid. It's like a stranger who suddenly comes to your house to visit, although you don't know who he is, but you see that the person behind him who is his bodyguard is actually a provincial and ministerial level bigwig, then you will naturally respect this stranger.
I really admire Zhuge Liang's scholar for being able to put on a domineering appearance in front of these three people, what a powerful psychological quality it must be!
Anyway, I think I'm completely short in front of these three, and my height is much worse than these three.
I only heard Liu Bei say to me very humbly: "General Hanzuo, Yicheng Pavilion Marquis, and Liu Bei, the uncle of the Emperor of Yuzhou, have come to meet Mr. ”
Let a person as big as Liu Bei stand in front of me and talk to me so politely, I do feel that my vanity has been greatly satisfied, and the anger that I had accumulated before about separating from Yuqing disappeared in an instant at this moment. I knew that it would be bad if it went on like this, so I thought that once I gave Liu Bei a good face here, my second master Guan would lose his life in the future, so he supported his momentum again.
Liu Bei now, even if I am humble and have no shelf, I can't repay the favor, now I am not only too young and incapable in this era, even if many things are already known, and the ending can be said, no one will believe it.
The only thing I can do now is to rely on the big tree of Kong Ming to learn some skills, and strive to rely on my ability to get a first-rank official and a half-time position under Liu Bei as soon as possible.
So I didn't dare to change what the boy should say, and pretended to be impatient with the memory of the book and said to Liu Bei: "I don't remember many names!" ”
That Liu Bei was really good-tempered, although the two people behind him had immediately appeared angry when they heard my words, but his expression was still amiable like an uncle in a cake shop, and he said to me: "You only said that Liu Bei came to visit." "It's as if he were just an ordinary servant who visits the sages.
I remember Kong Ming's previous advice, although I knew that Kong Ming was studying in a study in the backyard at this time, I still said to Liu Bei: "Mr. went out this morning." ”
Liu Bei asked me when Zhuge Liang would come back, and I answered him according to the memory in the book, and I felt that what I said was really annoying. In the end, Liu Bei said to me under the persuasion of Guan Yu: "If Mr. returns, it can be said that Liu Bei will visit." I agreed, and watched the group lead the horses away, as if they had just gotten off the roller coaster, and the excitement in my heart could not be calmed down for a long time.
After I closed the chai door according to Kong Ming's previous instructions, I went back to the backyard and told him about Liu Bei's visit, but he just said lightly: "Got it." He continued to look at the bamboo slip in his hand, and he looked like he didn't care.
I exited the place where Kong Ming was studying and returned to the front hall, pondering what Kong Ming was thinking, and after sitting for a while, I heard the sound of someone knocking on the wooden door.
I wondered who was coming, after opening the door, I saw a person with a lofty face, a handsome appearance, wearing a scarf, wearing a soapcloth robe, holding a cane, and when they met, they said to me: "Go and tell your husband, just say that Cui Zhouping of Boling is here!" ”
I then remembered that Liu Bei met Cui Zhouping on the way back when he first came. But Liu Bei should have told him that Zhuge Liang was not at home, why didn't he return but came over again?
This kind of unexpected situation makes me wonder whether I should let him in or not, and this is not written in the book!
In order to avoid any trouble, I had to tell him anyway: "Sir is out in the morning." ”
Who knew that he was far more difficult to dismiss than Liu Bei, so he pushed me away from the door as soon as he could, and said: "I'm not that Liu Bei, don't lie to me with this!" After speaking, he didn't allow me to excuse himself, so he walked straight to the backyard and shouted, "Kong Ming! Kong Ming! Cui Zhouping of Boling is here! ”
I hurriedly closed the chai door and followed him into the backyard, it seemed that he was not the first time to come, the door was very clear, and he actually went directly into the room where Kong Ming was studying. When Yuqing heard the voice, she saw that it was Cui Zhouping, and she also smiled slightly and ignored it.
I couldn't stop him, seeing Yuqing like this, I also put my mind at ease and went in with him, Kong Ming really didn't blame me, just dropped the bamboo tube and ordered me to make tea quickly, and the relationship between the two looked really extraordinary.
How do I know where the tea is, thanks to Yuqing's help, when I came back from making tea, I heard Cui Zhouping say to Kong Ming: "Although I know that the public has great ambitions, Cao Cao has millions of troops at this time, and he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, although Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, the financial and military strength is less than one percent, although the public is in charge of Zhong Leyi's resurrection, how can he quarry stones to make up for the sky and turn things around?"
I served fragrant tea to the two of them, and I had the heart to listen to Kong Ming's answer, so I stood behind Kong Ming. I only heard Kong Ming say: "Liang Shi knows that this matter is extremely difficult, and he hesitates in his heart, so he closed the door and refused to accept the guest immediately, let me think twice about this matter, it is rare for you to come to see me at this time, or don't talk about these mundane things, I haven't played chess for a long time, you and I can play a game?" ”
Cui Zhouping shook his head and sighed: "That's it! That's it! The great talent of the public can only be used to make up for the heavens and the earth, and it is useless to say more, then play a game, maybe you and I will not have such a chance to play such a game in this life! ”
Kong Ming was sad when he heard Cui Zhouping, and he actually sighed, and ordered me to get the chess pieces. I listened to Cui Zhouping's words, and I was also a little sentimental for Kong Ming, but fortunately, yesterday Kong Ming used chess pieces to study the remnants, and the chessboard was ready-made and erected in the corner, so it didn't make me embarrassed.
When I took the chess pieces, it was Kong Ming who gave up the four pieces. I know that Cui Zhouping is also a talent, but it seems that both sides seem to be accustomed to such conditions. Unexpectedly, when Kong Ming signaled Cui Zhouping to go first, Cui Zhouping waved his hand and actually said to Kong Ming: "Gong wants to assist Liu Bei, it's like playing against Cao Gong but the nine sons let go first, although I am not as good as Cao Gong, I want to try it reluctantly!" So saying, he placed five more sons on the other stars of the chessboard.
I saw that Kong Ming's face was difficult, and I said to Cui Zhouping helplessly: "Although it is difficult to match Feng Xiao's talent with Jun's talent, it is already extremely difficult for me to let the fourth son, if I let the ninth son, how can I fight the enemy?" ”
But Cui Zhouping ignored these, and said to Kong Ming: "Then with the fairness, how is my talent better than Cao Gong and his subordinates?" ”
Kong Ming didn't answer, but sighed.
Cui Zhouping asked again: "Then Liu Bei's situation at this time is so difficult to fight against Cao Gong, and how can he be ahead of me compared to the ninth son of Gong?" ”
Kong Ming smiled bitterly, and he said to Cui Zhouping: "It's okay! However, although Cao Cao is powerful, he has also emptied everything, regards the heroes of the world as nothing, and plays against me, we must not only defend but not attack, concentrate on encircling the ground, otherwise Liang even has the ability to reach the sky, and there is nothing to do! ”
Cui Zhouping saw that Kong Ming agreed to let the nine sons go first, so he replied: "That's natural, I already have the benefits of the nine sons, if I don't dare to fight again, even if I play against Wolong, I will no longer have the face to play chess!" After speaking, he motioned to Kong Ming to go down first, and said: "I will let the prince go to a small city in Xinye first, and then come to enter." ”
Kong Ming did not shirk, so he placed a son in the center of the hinterland at the bottom two squares of the sunspot, and said to Cui Zhouping: "Wait for the king's attack." ”
