Chapter 337 Bamboo Pavilion Pair
Zhuge Liang had never felt the spring breeze so cold, as if everything he was under control of someone else's hands. At this time, it was the spring of the eleventh year of Jian'an, and he thought that he could plough the acres and be ignorant of the world, but he never thought that he would finally go out of the mountain and do his best to revive the Han family.
He compared himself to Zhong Leyi, and Sima Hui even compared him to Zhang Liang and Jiang Ziya, but now he has started Su Qin's life. But Zhuge Liang didn't feel ashamed, what about Su Qin? Holding the seal of the six countries, there is only one person in ancient and modern times, what is he not satisfied with?
Although he has a thousand talents to learn, as long as future generations can say that he is an outstanding diplomat and strategist. Although being compared to the second Su Qin made him a little dissatisfied, he didn't believe that there would be a third Su Qin.
But there seems to be a little deviation in the past few days, he did not get a heavy reward from Liu Bei, so he wandered, quite miserable, and has fallen to this day, and he is starving and fainting outside Jiangling City, isn't it a joke to say it?
Now it's good, it's in the hands of Xun Gang, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to escape.
Zhuge Liang still remembers that when Xun Gang came to Xiangyang, Liu Biaohu, who had earned a clever plan, surrendered, recruited talents, and his reputation increased greatly, and even recruited all the students in Sima Hui's school except him in one go, so that Zhuge Liang had to return to Longzhong to cultivate.
Zhuge Liang didn't hate him, even if he indirectly killed his uncle back then; There is only one reason why Zhuge Liang is unwilling to succumb to Xun Gang's account, and that is that he can't see Xun Gang's wishes to Hanxing Liu.
He is the righteous brother of today's son, but he is gradually distancing himself from the Son of Heaven, and he is restless under Cao Cao, and he is afraid that he will have the heart to stand on his own.
Human beings are the most scheming animals, and different people have different scheming, so even Zhuge Liang doesn't understand what Xun Gang is thinking.
But now may be a good opportunity, Xun Gang invited himself to the bamboo pavilion in the courtyard to drink, saying that he wanted to feast himself; Even though he was hungry, Zhuge Liang even wanted to gnaw all the bamboo to satisfy his hunger, but he still had to explore Xun Gang's ambitions.
Yuan Min introduced Zhuge Liang into the courtyard, only to see that the walls of the building here were elegant and plain, without the slightest princely nobility, and there were only a few simple guards around, which did not look like the place where the state pastor was. Perhaps Xun Gang is quite confident and thinks that no one in Jingzhou will secretly kill him.
After bringing Zhuge Liang here, Yuan Min quietly retreated and retreated into the backyard; After a while, I saw two women walking slowly, one was lively and the other was calm, it was Yin Mu and Lu Lingqi.
"Eldest sister, what is the matter with the male monarch asking Zhuge Kongming to discuss?" Lu Lingqi asked in a low voice.
Yin Mu smiled and said, "Then do you need to ask?" I must be trying to recruit him into my men! β
Yuan Min looked at the two of them and didn't answer much; Among Xun Gang's three wives, he is the smartest, how can he not understand his husband's mind? Although recruiting Zhuge Liang is beneficial to the current Xun Gang, it is far less beneficial than letting him go.
What do you mean by that? Xun Gang naturally knew what Zhuge Liang An Hanxing Liu meant, and he understood what he did when he entered Shu before. Now Cao Cao is dominant, and the Hu people in Liangzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and other northern states and counties are not at peace, and Liu Zhang and Shixie are the emperors in the south to disturb the people's hearts. Cao Cao seems to be embattled, but he owns three-fifths of the thirteen states, and these stragglers are nothing more than an itch of moss.
But if Xun Gang is self-reliant, coupled with the alliance of Liu Bei and Sun Ce, it will definitely become Cao Cao's henchmen! And if you want to tie Liu Bei and Sun Ce to a string, only Zhuge Liang is the best introduction.
This kind of thing is naturally difficult for Xun Gang's subordinates to come forward, and among the less than 10 million people left in China, it just so happens that Zhuge Liang has this intention. The two can now be described as grasshoppers on the same string, and being good to each other is good to themselves.
Yuan Min laughed lightly, secretly praised her husband for his intelligence, and quietly walked towards the courtyard, Lu Lingqi and the two did not spare and followed closely.
But it was said that Xun Gang set up a small banquet in the bamboo pavilion in the courtyard to invite Zhuge Liang, and waited for half an hour before seeing Zhuge Liang slowly enter. Xun Gang smiled slightly, got up and said, "Mr. Zhuge is here, it's a great honor to be here, please!" β
Zhuge Liang naturally didn't dare to slack off, and after making a big gift to Xun Gang, he surrendered his hand to the table. Looking at the dishes on the table, Zhuge Liang had already been hungry for insects, and he was dazzled, but he didn't dare to move at will, after all, the host hadn't spoken yet.
Xun Gang naturally knew that Zhuge Liang had been hungry for several days, but he was afraid that he wanted to bite two bites of everything he watched now, so in order not to let Zhuge Liang lose his temper, he could only snicker in his heart, but said with a calm face: "Mr. Zhuge , please!" β
Zhuge Liang is a cultural person in the end, and he doesn't learn Li Bai's chic, even if he is about to starve to death, he eats with good manners. When the wine was half-drunk, Zhuge Liang finally felt alive, and seemed to have the strength to speak.
"Mr. Zhuge has gained from entering Shu this time?"
Seeing that Zhuge Liang had already eaten half full, Xun Gang didn't play Tai Chi with him, and went straight to the point.
These two people are not friends, let alone rivals, it is only the relationship of mutual interests that binds them together. Zhuge Liang naturally understood this, and there was no point in hiding all this from Xun Gang, so he said while eating his meal: "Although this time is not a big victory, it also helped Liu Bei to subdue Meng Shu, and in the future, he will have a three-point chance of winning by attacking Cao Thief." β
"Mr. Zhuge is very human, and he went into Shu alone to lobby the two princes, I am afraid that Su Qin and Zhang Yi will not be able to do it!"
This is not Xun Gang's clichΓ©, he admires Zhuge Liang from the bottom of his heart; Not to mention that Zhuge Liang in the original history did his best and died, supporting the entire Shu Han process with a stump of one person. Now that one person is lobbying the two princes, one of them is still a human spirit Liu Bei, how can he be disrespectful?
"General Xun has a good reputation, if I really have such a talent, I won't faint under Jiangling City and be captured by the general!"
Xun Gang smiled: "Hahaha! Mr. really loves to joke, wasn't Su Qin also a reckless man abandoned by his family back then? Isn't there a time when he was dying of hunger? Sir, today's suffering, will be rewarded in the future, come, come, you and I drink this cup full! β
Xun Gang's way of attracting customers gradually matured, and Zhuge Liang was not good at refusing, so he had to drink again and again; How could Xun Gang's family be drunk, Zhuge Liang was defenseless, and after three more glasses, he was completely drunk.
I thought that Zhuge Liang would lose his temper, Xun Gang was about to watch a joke, but how did he know that Zhuge Liang, who had drunk wine, suddenly came to his strength, and said angrily to Xun Gang: "Xun Gang, are you guilty?" β
Xun Gang was stunned for a moment, and replied in confusion: "What is my crime? β
"First, make an alliance with the emperor, stoop to the thief, and be disloyal! Second, the emperor is embarrassed in Beijing, and you are blessed in the land, which is unjust! Third, if you have the heart to be self-reliant, you have no righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period, and you don't believe in power! What sin do you say you have? β
Xun Gang knew that Zhuge Liang was drunk, but drunk people are often able to tell the truth that they dare not say; These three sins must be Zhuge Liang's heart, but Xun Gang didn't take it to heart. What Spring and Autumn Righteousness? I believe that those righteous nations are dead! What An Han Xing Liu, can this big man still be able to help up?
Even if he overthrows Cao Cao, even if he defeats Liu Bei and Sun Ce, will his emperor's brother not be afraid of himself? Would you believe in the simple Covenant of Green Smoke? No! Emperors are suspicious, and when you are high, you will not be far from death!
At this time, either he dies by himself, or his emperor brother is ousted by himself, and there is no third option.
As smart as Zhuge Liang, it's impossible not to understand this, he's just putting pressure on himself!
Of course, he didn't need to explain too much to Zhuge Liang, he just drank the wine on the table quietly, and a different light appeared in his eyes.
"Xun Gang, what else do you have to say?"
Zhuge Liang was still roaring, and the image of the wise man of the lupine scarf now resembled a philistine drunkard.
"Mr. Zhuge is right, you know your mistakes and know your mistakes!" Xun Gang catered indifferently, but there was no wave on his face.
Zhuge Liang didn't hesitate and said: "In that case, do you know what to do?" β
Xun Gang continued: "Let Mr. Jiangdong go tomorrow!" In the future, the gate of Gangneung will always be open for you! β
Zhuge Liang seemed to nod with satisfaction, but he stumbled and fell asleep......
