Chapter 62: The Land of a State
Zhuge Jin's brother Liang, and his younger brother's birthday, and famous, each in a country. The pen and fun www.biquge.info thought at the time that "Shu has its dragon, Wu has its tiger, and Wei has its dog." - "The World Speaks New Words"
Langya Zhuge clan is also a legend in the Three Kingdoms era, with three elites in one family, each enjoying a high position in the Three Kingdoms. It's a pity that due to the existence of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the evaluation and popularity of the three are very different.
Zhuge Liang doesn't need to say much, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a god step by step; And Zhuge Jin is a gentle gentleman, both civil and military, and finally worships General Wu Guoda, although in "Romance", he is mostly a role in soy sauce to set off Zhuge Liang, so he can be regarded as a positive character.
But Zhuge Dan, the "gong dog" who only emerged in the late Three Kingdoms period, not only appeared in very few scenes, but also rebelled against the Sima clan and was defeated and killed.
This can be seen from the fact that he is in the system, just by tasting the [Shangpin State Scholar].
Of course, from an objective point of view, Zhuge Festival does lack the personality charm of the first two; Or it can be said that the characters in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, compared with the heroes in the early stage, on the whole, will be slightly inferior in terms of spiritual brilliance and firmness.
The times make heroes.
Zhuge Dan worked hard to lay the foundation for his reputation and reputation when he was young: the most famous thing is that he capsized and fell into the water in a strong storm, but insisted that the soldiers rescue Du Ji who was in the same boat first, but he floated to the river bank and survived.
From this aspect, Zhuge Dan's character and temperament do not seem to be fake. After all, no matter how much you put on a show for the sake of fame, it is meaningless to really lose your life.
However, when his career was nearing its peak, his choice seemed to be entirely based on his own power interests:
Sima's killing of Cao Shuang and his seizure of power over Cao Wei aroused the vigilance and dissatisfaction of some ministers and local warlords loyal to Cao Wei. The famous Huainan Three Rebellions were derived from this.
Huainan's first rebellion, Wang Ling and Linghu Yu's rebellion, the actual loss caused was not large, the two of them were ambitious and talented, and they were not secret, and they were arrested before they really got into trouble.
The second rebellion in Huainan, the rebellion of Muqiu Jian and Wen Qin, these two were the leading generals with real power in Huainan at that time, and their momentum was naturally incomparable. When the two rebelled, they also sent envoys to contact Zhuge Dan, hoping to get support; But Zhuge killed the envoy, and personally commanded the army, worked hard to quell the rebellion, and therefore sat on the position of the general of Zhengdong and guarded Shouchun.
Ironically, as a powerful counterrebel of the second rebellion, the third rebellion in Huainan was precisely launched by Zhuge Dan himself.
From the motive of the third rebellion in Huainan, it seems that Zhuge was loyal to Cao Wei, it seems to be incomprehensible, at that time, the Sima clan took power in the court and abolished Emperor Wei, which was an obvious thing, if he was loyal to Cao Wei and launched it with Muqiu Jian and Wen Qin, wouldn't it be better?
In terms of timing, it is even more difficult to understand: less than a year after Zhuge put down the rebellion, he began to plan his own rebellion, and then just after a year of planning, he officially launched his army. Neither hard strength nor soft propaganda for raising troops has any advantage at all. Winning reinforcements from Wu State is even more to put yourself in an unjust situation.
Since the records in the historical materials cannot be colluded with reason, the only explanation is that history has once again made a little girl dressed up by others, hiding too much true content.
"A hero of the Three Kingdoms hidden deep in the fog...... Should I believe it? ”
Li Cheng hesitated for a long time, and finally relentlessly, but still clicked the OK button.
On the one hand, it is because Xiao Qiao and Dong Zhuo really have no reason and use for summoning; On the other hand, it is because of the existence of Zhuge Dan, which is the last missing piece of the puzzle in Li Cheng's current small group, and this temptation makes him unable to refuse:
He can be handsome in the forbidden entry, a general in retreat, and good at training, and the most all-round; Xiahou Ba can observe the changes in the court situation, the psychology of the big man all night, personal guard, and lead the troops in battle. Huang Yueying is good at internal affairs and logistics, proficient in equipment, and meticulous; Guan Ping has the highest martial arts and can be used as a charge to attack the city.
However, in this group, there is always a lack of a helmsman who can oversee the overall situation, plan the general direction and direction of Li Jiajun from a high level, and be able to formulate an overall goal, combine and allocate everyone's strengths and energy, and better accomplish the goal.
Of course, compared with those top strategists in the Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge Dan is naturally inferior. Even if there is something hidden in the historical data, Zhuge Dan's image has plummeted, but from the perspective of strength, his failure is indisputably proof of his lack of ability.
But at the moment, Li Cheng's first stage goal is only Youzhou, the land of Youzhou. Zhuge Dan, as a de facto warlord of secession, and has the evaluation of [Shangpin Prefecture Scholar], it should be appropriate to plan a state.
…………
"Zhuge is on leave? I didn't expect it to be you. ”
When Li Cheng opened his eyes, Xiahou Ba was already surprised. However, at the same time, Xiahou Ba's tense body involuntarily relaxed.
Zhuge Dan's martial arts are sparse and ordinary, and [Shangpin Zhou Shi] is a civil official evaluation, but he is not afraid of what disadvantage he will have to Li Cheng.
"Xiahou Zhongquan ......"
Zhuge Dan glanced at Xiahou Ba indifferently, then at Li Cheng, suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth, and laughed at himself: "I am the only one who lives, although I am alive and dead...... This benefactor's great virtue, I am naturally grateful. But under the defeat, he is just a defeated general, and he is in a hurry like a lost dog, and he is beheaded under the knife of a mediocre man, and it may be difficult to help his benefactor. ”
Xiahou Ba frowned, and was about to speak when he took a step forward, but was stopped by Li Cheng raising his hand: "In today's world, you should also know a thing or two about public leave, I don't know what your plans are." ”
Zhuge Dan was silent for a moment, and said with a sad voice: "In my previous life, I sought a clear reputation and held great power, and I thought that the world's heroes must have a place for Zhuge to retire. In this life, I just want to calm down, govern a county in peace, and see how many catties and taels I have. ”
"Even if a county is governed, what can it do? Everywhere the soldiers pass, they all collapse, is it such a simple truth, Zhuge Gongxiu has been in a high position for many years, and you still can't see through it? ”
Xiahou Ba couldn't help but scold in a low voice.
Regarding Zhuge Dan's talent, Xiahou Ba, as a former colleague, is very clear. Although the three rebellions of Huainan were already a matter after he fled to Shu, he could not know what the changes were after Zhuge Day; But his ability is exactly what Li Cheng needs most at the moment, and this point, Xiahou Ba is even more anxious than Li Cheng.
Zhuge Dan glanced at Xiahou Ba indifferently, and said coldly: "So what, with my little ability, if there is really a soldier crossing the world, whether it is governing the county, governing the county, or governing the state, isn't it all the same result?" Trapped in a lonely city, sitting and waiting to die, watching the grain and grass in the city cut off day by day, the soldiers and civilians were terrified at night, and finally prosperous Huainan turned into a dead land, is it meaningful? ”
"Most of the Xiahou children like you don't need much ability to rise to the top, sit in a high position, and talk about loyalty. In the end, who has died for the family and the country? Except for Xiahou Taichu who died proudly, what qualifications do others have to come to me! Are you? The Shu Han chariot cavalry general who fled in a hurry? ”
"You!" As soon as Xiahou Ba's waist knife was pressed, he was about to attack.
"On public leave, we don't talk about loyalty and righteousness, and we don't talk about the world, these are too empty."
Li Cheng exited in time, and Xiahou Ba realized that he had sneaked in after all, and he had to make a disturbance as a last resort, so that outsiders would notice. So he snorted angrily, but still retreated and stood beside Li Cheng.
Li Cheng said solemnly in the face of Zhuge Dan's indifferent attitude of strong self-protection: "Let's only talk about it, after the fall of Shouchun, hundreds of soldiers under your command were captured, and they all said, 'Die for Zhuge Gong, don't hate'!" Sima Shi gave hundreds of people into a column, beheaded one person, asked one person to surrender, and until they were all killed, no one begged to surrender! ”
Zhuge Dan's eyes suddenly opened!
"Maybe you will not be able to shine on the entire land of Kyushu like the bright sun; But at least, you can be like a flame, trying to exude your own light and heat in the dark, attracting these hundreds of moths, and pounce into them without regrets, just to let you burn more even for a moment, and be satisfied! ”
"It's not for your family and country, it's not for the sake of righteousness, it's just for the trust of these people, in order to find your own value. In this secluded land, I would like to let you have full power to plan. ”
"It seems to me that neither you nor the dead are great, but neither are they humble. On public sabbatical, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance, in this state within my reach! ”
