Chapter 20: The Yellow Kirin
When Cao Cao was about to march south, the strategist told him that the weather was cold and he could not use soldiers, and he could wait for the warm spring to drive a long way, so Cao Cao stepped up the training of sailors, so as to enter Jingzhou when the spring flowers bloomed.
Xu Shu went to Xuchang, before leaving, Zhuge Liang recommended to Liu Bei, Liu Bei Sangu Maolu, Liu Bei had already gone once, at this time Liu Bei Tun Xinye, the official to the Han Zuo general, Yicheng Tinghou, leading Yuzhou Mu, or Liu Huangshu, a lot of names, but let Cao ** is almost cornered, since he met Xu Shu, and Cao Cao fought to win a few battles, then Liu Bei realized that it is not enough to have Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei around him, he is now in urgent need of a strategist, a military to give him advice.
Xu Shu commanded Zhao Yun to break Cao Ren's eight-gate golden lock formation on the city tower, Liu Bei knew that the battle was fought like this, if it wasn't for Xu Shu, how could Liu Bei break Cao Ren's formation. After Xu Shu was taken away by Cao Cao, Liu Bei didn't sleep well for a few nights, and he didn't have a strategist, and he would be eaten by Cao Cao one day.
The weather was getting colder and colder, Liu Bei moved a small stool to sit in front of the brazier, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood behind, Liu Bei's brows were condensed into a big pimple, and Guan and Zhang looked at each other, unable to solve the troubles in the eldest brother's heart.
"Alas, Yuan Zhi has left, Mr. Wolong has not returned, Cao Cao is stepping up the training of sailors, and he will attack my Xinye in the coming year, intending to Jingzhou." Liu Bei sighed.
"Big brother! The military advisor has left, don't worry about sighing, my second brother and I will keep Xinye safe and sound, and Cao Apu doesn't have any great ability, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, come to kill one by one, come to kill ten thousand to kill ten thousand, and the eldest brother will sit back and relax. Zhang Fei said with two cow eyes.
Liu Bei put his two hands in his sleeves, looked out the door, exhaled a breath of white air, and at the same time sighed and said: "Third brother, how can I not know that the two of you are armed forces, and taking the head of a general in a million army is like taking something from a bag, but is this really the case?" Cao Cao now has a million troops and horses, and he personally led a large army to attack me, what will we use to resist, just the two of you and Zilong? ”
Zhang Fei's face was red when he said something, and he wanted to say something, Guan Yu gave him a look, and Zhang Fei was silent.
"I want you and me to be three Taoyuan three righteousness, I wanted to do a big career, but the two virtuous brothers have not thought about it, with you and I three people going up the mountain to occupy the mountain as the king, there is no problem, but what we want to fight now is the world, what we do is to help the Han family, this is not a small matter, this is not just what the three of us can do to lead these Miao soldiers, we must have a strategist to give us advice, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, can divide one side, only you and I are the three of us, almost all of them have been fleeing everywhere in the past few years, why is this? Isn't it because the two of them are recruiting wise men and having people around them? ”
Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother." The voice felt like it was about to cry.
"Second brother, I inquired about Mr. Wolong's news, and we will visit him as soon as there is news."
"Yes."
Liu Bei stood up, pulled Guan Zhang and the others to the brazier, and asked them to sit down in front of the brazier to roast the fire.
"Second brother, do you still remember the charr in the Taoist temple?" Liu Bei suddenly asked.
"Remember, big brother." Guan Yu said.
"Since ancient times, heroes came out of youth, and when I met him at that time, I thought that he could wish us a hand in great things, but who would have thought that there would be no news as soon as we went." Liu Bei sighed.
"Big brother, maybe the young man has already suffered an accident, and now he is in chaos, and he wanders the world alone."
Liu Bei rubbed his hands and said, "Yes, if you really encounter an accident, it's a pity, it's a pity that the genius of the world is so ......."
"Big brother, which one do you say is better than that young man named Charles and Yu Yuanzhi?" Zhang Fei asked.
Liu Bei pondered for a while and said: "Each is different, I think that Xia Er is a god and an immortal, and Yuan Zhi is a rare talent." ”
"Big brother said that he is an immortal, it's too exaggerated!"
"It's no exaggeration, Xia Er came and went without a trace, comparable to Jiang Ziya, or even better, at that time the general trend of the world was not clear, he talked to me about the trend of the world, and now all of them have come true, he once told me that we will meet Yu Yuanzhi, Yu Yuanzhi will leave us to go to Xuchang, and then he will worship Wolong, these he has said, in my opinion, Xia Er, is really a god in the sky."
Zhang Fei pouted and said, "Big brother, it's weird and cold, why don't we call for wine and chat while drinking." ”
"Okay, just the third brother, let's talk while drinking."
"Come on, prepare the food and drinks!"
In the cold winter, everyone does not need soldiers, in addition to training military horses, it is to recuperate, Cao Cao has nothing to do all day and drinks or something, and after drinking, he sleeps on the bed of a young woman from a good family, everyone knows that Cao Cao is famous for being lustful. During this time, Sun Quan didn't have anything to do, just fishing by the river or something, one day he caught a very big fish, about 100 pounds, some people said that the fish was at least a hundred years old, can't be eaten, Sun Quan still cares about him so many things, this person's biggest advantage is that he doesn't believe in evil like his brother, his brother even dares to kill Yu Ji, Sun Quan doesn't even dare to eat a fish.
Someone came to sue Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Wu hurriedly took a car to stop Sun Quan from eating fish, but Mrs. Wu was a step late, and the chef had already split a few pieces of a big fish into the pot, and the soup in the pot was boiling, and bursts of fragrance wafted in.
In the past, Sun Ce did not believe in evil, and in the end he died quite evilly, Mrs. Wu did not allow Sun Quan to eat fish, but he summoned the soldiers and ate the fish in court.
When Sun Quan was eating fish, Liu Guanzhang and Zhao Yun also set up a wine table in front of the brazier, and just poured a full wine glass before they could hold it, only to hear a burst of footsteps outside the door, and a soldier came in and said: "General, there are people outside the door asking to see!" ”
"Who?"
"Strangely dressed, said to be Charles."
"Hey, the immortals are coming, the immortals are coming, please hurry up." Liu Bei said as he got up and went out to greet him.
I have already walked into the middle door, carrying a backpack, Liu Bei walked out quickly, overjoyed and said: "Oh, this morning the magpie flew around the roof three times, I expected that there would be a distinguished guest to visit, if this is the case, please come in!" ”
I said, "Xuande Gong is not harmed......
Liu Beihan said with a smile: "I haven't seen my son for a long time, I'm afraid I went to overseas Xianyou." ”
"Exactly, almost around the world."
The attendant immediately brought a small table and a small stool, and was about to serve me a dish, when I waved my hand and said, "Slow, you travel around the world, don't bring too many things, I'm afraid you'll be tired, just bring back some ingredients from a foreign country, and I'm here to invite you to taste it today." ”
"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at everyone with a smile, and Guan Zhang and Zhao Yun looked at me curiously.
"I also bother the general to send someone to take some mutton, cut it into thin slices, and then take some green onions, ginger and garlic, etc., prepare a big iron pot, and add less than half a pot of boiling water."
"Okay, come on, hurry up and prepare."
"Prepare some more empty plates and bowls."
As I spoke, I put the bag on the ground and took out some Haidilao hot pot base and dipping sauce from the bag, as well as small ingredients such as tofu and milk.
The boiling water in the mutton iron pot should have been prepared, I put the base into the pot, put the green onions, ginger and garlic together, wait for the boiling water to boil, squeeze the dipping sauce in the bowl, if the mutton is, when the mutton changes color, I said to everyone: "Please taste." ”
Liu Bei looked at me, picked up chopsticks, took a piece of mutton, dipped it in a little dipping sauce, and put it in his mouth......
Guan Zhang and Zhao were all waiting for Liu Bei to speak, and Liu Bei didn't say until he swallowed the piece of meat: "Hey, this is a delicacy in the sky, there is no one in the world, there is no one in the world, the three virtuous brothers should taste it." ”
Zhang Fei took the lead in picking up chopsticks and scooped up a large number of chopsticks, threw them into the bowl and pulled them into his mouth: "Ah! Delicious! Delicious! ”
Liu Bei poured me a full wine and said: "Gongzi is really a god, we are mortals, and I also ask Gongzi to stay in Xinye, and we plan great things, now Cao Cao is in the north, Sun Ce is in Jiangdong, and other princes occupy the mountains as kings, alas, I am in danger of the Han River." ”
"Xuande Gong doesn't have to worry, didn't Xu Shu recommend Zhuge Wolong to you, what's the matter? He hasn't come yet? ”
"Childe also knows Mr. Wolong?" In fact, Liu Bei still had a question in his heart, but he didn't ask it, that is, how did I know Xu Shu, and how did I know that Xu Shu recommended Zhuge Liang to him.
"How can you not know that Zhuge Liang has been famous for centuries, and everyone knows it." I sighed.
"Forever?" Liu Bei wondered.
"That's right, Mr. Wolong went out of the mountain to assist Xuande Gong, he must do his best, bow to his best and die, how can he not be immortal."
"So, Childe has already calculated that Mr. Wolong is willing to go out of the mountain?"
"Well, I expect that Mr. Wolong will serve Xuande Gong, and he will be loyal until he dies."
Liu Bei smiled happily, and the heart hanging in his chest finally fell: "I heard that Mr. Wolong has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, is this true?" ”
"It's true, the nickname Wolong is not called for nothing."
"How is Mr. Wolong better than Childe?"
"Xuande Gong, in my opinion, my knowledge is comparable to ten Zhuge Liang."
A sentence almost scared Zhang Fei from the stool and fell, Zhang Fei, a person who can brag, has also seen it, Zhang Fei, a person who can brag like this, is the first time to see it, ten Zhuge Liang, it is said that Zhuge Liang is a genius of the world, often compared to Guan Zhong Leyi, Sima Hui even said that Zhuge Liang can be compared to Xingzhou 800 years Jiang Ziya, Wanghan 400 years Zhang Zifang. Zhang Fei felt that Zhuge Liang was unreliable, and now there is a more braggadocio who can brag about it, more than ten Zhuge Liang, who is not really an immortal.
In terms of head, I may really not be able to compare with Zhuge Liang, but what age am I, through the past and the present, I know what Zhuge Liang doesn't know, and my amount of information may not be comparable to ten Zhuge Liang, so whoever mixes badly comes to ancient times, you are the most bullish person in minutes.
Liu Bei held my hand and said, "Since Gongzi is so powerful, I implore Gongzi to stay, and when the world is peaceful, I am willing to go home to farm, and strongly recommend Gongzi to be the prime minister of the Han Dynasty." ”
I shirked and said: "Xuande Gong, I am not interested in being the prime minister, it is enough to have Mr. Wolong to assist you, not to mention that there are so many capable people around the public, and the village husband is really not for officials and generals." ”
Liu Bei began to regret again, he picked up a glass of wine and said, "God, it's a pity." ”
"I heard that Xuande Gong has already been to Longzhong once?"
"Well, I went, but unfortunately Wolong was not at home, and the boy said that he was on a trip, and he didn't know when he would return, alas!"
"Xuande Gong doesn't have to be melancholy, Wolong has lived in Longzhong for a long time, but he is in charge of the world's affairs, presumably he has already calculated that you will go to his house, so he deliberately avoided you."
"Get out of the way of me?"
"That's right, it's hard to find a wise man, not to mention that Wolong is a genius in the world, Xuande Gong must be patient."
"Come on, come on, it doesn't matter if he's a sleeping dragon or a sleeping bird, let's get drunk today." Zhang Fei couldn't hold back his wine, and when he picked up a jar, he drank it, for people like Zhang Fei, if he didn't accept it, he didn't want to see others bragging.
It's not early, the wine is almost drunk, I got up to say goodbye, Liu Bei kept again and again, I excused myself and said that I was going to visit a friend, and I would come again another day, Liu Bei stayed at the city gate, and I rode away alone.
It was the middle of winter, the weather was cold, the clouds were dense, and after a while, there were snowflakes floating in the sky, looking at the mountains and forests, the snow was white, and the heaven and the earth seemed to be covered with ice and snow, sure enough, the natural scenery in ancient times was much better than in modern times. I urged my horse forward into a bamboo forest, and on the path there was a man chopping wood, carrying a bundle of firewood on his back, walking towards the song.
"Hello, this is the road to Mr. Longzhong's residence in Wolong?" I asked.
"Exactly."
After crossing a small bridge, I heard a loud singing, and looked forward, and saw a tavern in a clearing in the woods, and in front of the windowless windows, several men were sitting around drinking, singing, and chatting.
I hiccuped, damn, Zhang Fei was so good at drinking, if I hadn't drunk a hangover spirit halfway, I would have been drunk and unconscious at this time, but fortunately, the hangover spirit was in charge, and I had a lot of alcohol after galloping on a horse. I tied my horse to a tree and walked into the tavern.
Xiao Er came to greet me and said, "Guest officer, what do you want?" I waved my hand to stop him. After singing, those people suddenly found that there was one more person standing here in the museum, and his dress was extremely strange.
The Qingqi ancient-looking man stood up and said, "I'm waiting for the drinking to rise up and compose songs, and it's a lot of disturbance!" ”
"I passed by here, and suddenly heard the fairy song, so I got off the horse and listened, if I guessed correctly, Mr. is Meng Gongwei?" I vaguely remember how Meng Gongwei was described in the Three Kingdoms.
"Oh? Does Childe recognize me? Meng Gongwei exclaimed.
"I probably know one or two, this is Shi Guangyuan, and this is Cui Zhouping, who is listed as a friend of Mr. Wolong."
"Ahaha, Childe is ......"
"I am a person of immortal travel, and I know that the hermits here are all geniuses."
"Since you are a fellow believer, why don't you sit down and drink and have fun together." Cui Zhouping said.
"It's not early, I want to visit Mr. Kong Ming, I can't accompany you, farewell!"
"Okay, I can't go together, I hope Gongzi will ask Mr. Wolong on his behalf."
……
I took my horse and left the shop, went straight to Wollongong, and when I arrived at the village, I knocked on the door and asked the boy, "Is Kong Ming there?" ”
"Sir......" the boy paused slightly.
"That's it, I'm sorry for you to tell Kong Ming, just say ......"
"Sir knew you were coming, and he has been waiting in the cottage for a long time." The boy said and led me into the door.
Zhuge Liang knew I was coming? This Zhuge Liang is calculated by heaven and earth, can he even count me? In fact, long before I came, Zhuge Liang divination in the grass hall, suddenly saw a bird flying over the roof, when he got up to see, the bird spread its wings and flew into the sky, Zhuge Liang was shocked, the bird resembles a Chongming bird, Chongming bird is a legendary one-eyed bird, rare to see for thousands of years, how could it suddenly appear in Wollongong. Zhuge Liang returned to the grass hall and hurriedly divined a hexagram, but the hexagram made him even more puzzled, because, in general, Zhuge Liang's divination hexagram, he himself can explain it clearly, and predict the future of things through divination, but this hexagram is far more complicated, Zhuge Liang can only infer through the hexagram that in the afternoon, there will be a strange person to visit him.
I dressed up and followed the boy into the cottage, only to see Zhuge Liang facing the wall, and there was a celestial chart on the wall, and he was holding a feather fan with his hands facing back.
"Mr. Kong Ming, come and disturb ...... without telling me first"
Before I could finish my words, Zhuge Liang turned around and looked at me with a staring gaze, and I could tell from his eyes that Zhuge Liang was exploring me with all his wisdom, because, for him, I was an unknown fetish.
"I know that a distinguished guest is coming, but I don't know the name ......of the distinguished guest, dare to ask Your Excellency" Zhuge Liang was young at this time, only in his twenties, but he was already very deep in the city at this time.
"A man from the mountains and wilderness, surnamed Xia Minger, nicknamed Huang Qilin." I am ashamed to say, I don't have any nicknames, but in the Three Kingdoms, the awesome characters have a awesome nickname, Mr. Wolong, Mr. Shuijing, etc., I temporarily named myself a yellow unicorn, which is bluffing Zhuge Liang, the unicorn is the main branch of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, as soon as the unicorn appears, all diseases in the world will disappear, and you can also walk on the clouds, which is also in line with what I always told Liu Bei about my Xianyou, in addition, the unicorn has the meaning of benevolence and righteousness, which is also a metaphor for me and Zhuge Liang that I am very benevolent and righteous.
Zhuge Liang shook his fan, not at all stunned by me, he was too calm, he waved his sleeves and said, "Please!" ”
I sat opposite each other, with a long table in the middle, on which were Zhuge Liang's bamboo slips, and the traces on the bamboo slips were very heavy, indicating that Zhuge Liang had been looking through these bamboo slips recently.
The boy brought the brewed tea, during which Zhuge Liang kept squinting his glasses and smiling without saying a word, he was still speculating about me, but I don't have to speculate about him, because I know all the deeds of his life. He didn't speak, I didn't speak, I took out my mobile phone and pulled it, opened the photo of Sang Yu, the boy secretly observed me behind the cottage, he didn't know what I was holding in my hand.
"Please." Zhuge Liang picked up the teacup.
"Your Excellency has come to visit Liang, what is the so-called?"
"It's nothing, I heard that Uncle Liu Huang came to invite you out of the mountain, does Mr. Kong Ming plan to go out of the mountain?"
Zhuge Liang stood up, walked a few steps on the ground and said: "The chaos in the world, there was the chaos of Chaogang, first there was the Yellow Turban, then there was Cao Cao, Liang a farmer who cultivated the land, how dare he turn the tide and rule the world!" The public has the nickname of Huang Qilin, and must have the ability to help the world, so why not help Uncle Liu Huang? ”
I gave full marks for this X pretend, I turned off my phone and said: "Mr. Kong Ming, with all due respect, you are unwilling to go out of the mountain, you are testing Liu Bei's sincerity." ”
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, thinking, few people can see this, he and I don't know each other, but he knows my psychology, and I can't be underestimated at this time.
"Ahaha, the public is bad, Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and righteous all over the world, many virtuous people come uninvited, and there are Zhang and the two around him, and Changshan Zhao Zilong, why can't he help the Han family, how can he be virtuous, how dare he call himself."
"Kong Ming, you are not clever and eloquent, although you plough in Nanyang, but you have the world in your heart, you are not out of the mountain, but you have not met the Ming Lord, you and your uncle in Jingzhou in the early years, and later after your uncle died, you returned to Nanyang to cultivate the fields, come back to plough the fields, you just want to precipitate yourself, when the world changes, a Ming Lord comes to beg you to go out of the mountain, you will go out of the mountain!"
Zhuge Liang burst out laughing when he heard this.
"Kong Ming, you don't deceive me, there is a map of the world hanging on the wall of your thatched cottage, it can be seen that you expected the world to be divided into three, you hung a celestial map, you study the celestial phenomena, you want to predict the future, in addition, the bamboo slips on your table are all military books, and the traces of stroking are obvious, which means that you have been reading military books hard recently, Kong Ming, do you want to take troops with you for farming? This can only mean one thing, that is, you are ready to use troops in the spring. ”
Zhuge Liang clapped his hands and shouted, "That's good." With that, he pulled me and did it again.
"Gongzhen is my bosom friend, but it must not be leaked out, such as today's life is ruined, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, once he becomes a power, he will definitely replace the Han Dynasty, and Sun Quan has been run by his brother Sun Ce, the land of Jiangdong, the hearts of the people are all attributed to Sun Quan, the hearts of the people are difficult to cage, I think the public has the talent of the heavens and the earth, can you assist Uncle Liu Huang?" Only then did Zhuge Liang begin to open his heart to me.
I shook my head and said, "Mr. Kong Ming, I have always liked Xianyou Mingchuan, and I don't like the smoke and flames of war, besides, if I make a move, the universe will be reversed, and history will be rewritten. ”
Zhuge Liang asked the boy to come up to fill the tea, he shook the fan and said: "Please take care of yourself, but remember, don't divulge the secrets." ”
"Mr. Kong Ming, it's okay if I don't get involved in the dispute, but I have one condition."
"On what terms?"
"I want your one-third of an acre." I made a ridiculous request, in fact, I am not uncommon Zhuge Liang this acre of three-point land.
"This ......"
"Mr. Kong Ming, you are about to go out of the mountain to assist Liu Bei, what are you doing with one acre and three points of land?"
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "Okay, it's really rare to meet a bosom friend, so I will give it to you with one acre and three points." ”
"Okay, you get out of your mountain, maybe I'm interested in staying here and farming the fields, it's not too early, it's time for me to leave." I got up to leave.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly grabbed me and said, "Since you came, why don't you talk all night." ”
"The momentum of the world is all in the hands of Mr., the urgent need at the moment is that Cao Cao wants to attack Xinye, take Jingzhou, take Jiangdong, and then Tushudi, I believe that Mr. is confident, there are countermeasures, and when the Spring River is plumbing, Mr. can act according to the plan."
"Could it be that the public knows my heart?"
"Hahaha, Mr. wants to make Liu Bei marry Sun Quan to resist Cao Cao!"
"Oh, Mr.'s talent is higher than me, if you can stay, you will have no regrets in this life!"
"No, no, no, I'm greedy for mountains and rivers, I can't make things, it's okay to talk about it, it's really a fight, I can't stand the matter of killing people and cutting off heads, I'll come to visit again in the future, and I'll take a step forward today."
After I finished speaking, I got on the horse and said goodbye, I pulled the scarf, the piece of divine wood around my neck was very warm in my clothes, I forgot to ask Zhuge Liang about it.
After I left, Zhuge Liang played the piano and sang on the grass hall......
