Chapter Eighty-Five: Longzhong's Countermeasures
Liu Yong smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, why don't you join in, how about competing with these two respectively?" ”
"Wow!" Zhou Cang was ecstatic in his heart, slapped his head, and grinned: "Why didn't I think of it? Yes, yes, yes, Brother Liu, let's think about their moves, and then think about how I should deal with them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liu Yong grabbed Zhou Cang and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, don't think about it first." We're going to go to the executive's office. "Zhou Cang" shouted, "I forgot about this." Let's go, let's go and get back quickly. ”
Liu Yong shook his head and took Zhou Cang to find an opportunity to enter the Gao Mansion again. The senior management has already been prepared, and there are four people in total, each of whom has a few cases and an abacus.
Liu Yong copied the abacus, looked at the complex questions of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division written by Director Gao on the paper in advance, his fingers flicked, and the answer was reported in a moment, everyone was dumbfounded, he had been calculating for a long time, and suddenly there was a burst of excitement. Liu Yong saw that everyone was full of interest and was also happy, so he explained the role of abacus and formulas in detail......
On the second day, Liu Yong was still alone, carrying an abacus, and then went to Longzhong. Huang Yueying couldn't wait impatiently, and didn't wait for Liu Yong to sit down, pointing to the abacus and asking Liu Yong to explain. Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly, Liu Yong also admired this female inventor with great curiosity and thirst for knowledge, so he took the abacus with a smile, explained the structure of the abacus, the difference between the upper and lower beads, the principle of operation and even the gesture of dialing the beads, etc., and then took out a page of formulas from his arms and handed it to Huang Yueying, so that he could memorize it.
Here, Huang Yueying excitedly took the abacus to the back hall to practice, and Zhuge Liang hung up the self-made map to talk to Liu Yong about the general trend of the world. Zhuge Liang said: "Brother Chongru once sat with Cao Cao to discuss the world, and said that Cao Cao would win Yuan Shao to unify Hebei, and Jiangdong was owned by Sun Ce, Liang Shen thought so." In this way, the two heroes coexist, the north and the south are opposed, and the land of Jingxiang, which is located in the belly of the Yangtze River, is very important, and whoever takes this place first can unify the whole country. ”
Liu Yong nodded and exclaimed: "Brother Kong Ming has a unique vision, and Liu Yong also feels the same way. He deliberately asked: "Liu Jingzhou is not an idle person." In the first year of the first peace, although Liu Jingsheng served as the assassin of Jingzhou, Nanyang was returned to Yuan Shu, and Changsha and Huarong also had militia to dominate, and they did not obey the orders of the imperial court. Liu Biao had great courage, faced difficulties, went to Jingzhou anonymously, supplemented by Cai Mao, a native of Xiangyang, and accepted the words of Kuailiang and Kuaiyue, and gave both grace and power, and Yuan Shu and Sun Jian to unify the land of Jingxiang. Liu Jingzhou has courage and knowledge, and there are many good ministers and generals under his account, how can he sit still and wait to be killed. Even if you can't attack from afar and fight for the world, can't you defend yourself? ”
Zhuge Liang sighed and replied, "If Liu Jingzhou can be ten years younger, maybe he can still hold on." Now Liu Jingsheng is old, timid, domineering has long been gone, and jealous of the virtuous and jealous, cronyism, and Jingxiang has been politically clear for many years, the people are stable, and the life is rich, so that the soldiers do not practice martial arts, and the generals are idle and afraid of war. ”
Indeed, how can a pampered and weak rich man be able to defeat a man who has been in a hundred battles and is powerful? Liu Yong nodded approvingly, and asked: "Brother Kong Ming, who does you think will win Jingzhou from the Cao and Sun families?" ”
Zhuge Liang immediately replied: "Then it depends on who can withdraw first." However, in terms of strength, Sun Ce is much more difficult. ”
Liu Yong asked again: "According to Brother Kong Ming's intentions, in the future, the Sun and Cao families will fight for the world?" ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily. ”
Liu Yong was taken aback and asked, "Why is that?" ”
Although Sun Ce has Jiangdong, his strength is still far inferior to Cao Cao. If someone occupies Jingzhou before Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and then befriends Sun Ce to fight against Cao Cao, he can divide the world into three parts. ”
"Well said, the three check and balance each other, clamp each other, and move the whole body with one shot, so that neither party dares to act rashly." Liu Yong was amazed for a while, thought about it, and asked: "So, Liu Jingzhou can also befriend Sun Ce and fight against Cao ****?" ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and replied, "It won't be Liu Jingzhou." ”
Liu Yong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why is this?" ”
"Sun Ce and Liu Jingsheng have a grudge against their father, and the hatred is difficult to eliminate, one of them; Liu Yuanjun has no ambitions, is arrogant and conceited, and is only willing to defend the land for self-protection, and refuses to bend his knees to others, and this is the second. Zhuge Liang showed a trace of sorrow on his face, and sighed, "Liu Jingsheng is old and frail, I'm afraid that time is short, although there are two sons Liu Qi and Liu Cong under his knees, they are all embarrassed and burdened, and this is the third." ”
Liu Yong was convinced, and asked: "Now that we are here, who else can compete with the Sun Cao family for the world?" It won't be Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu. ”
Zhuge Liang stared at Liu Yong for a while, smiled slightly, but did not speak, picked up the cup and tasted the tea. Liu Yong was a little furious in his heart, and he didn't know what Zhuge Liang meant, so he also picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea.
After a while, Zhuge Liang pointed to the map and said: "Jingxiang is based on nine counties and forty-two prefectures and counties, according to Han and Chu in the north, Wuhui in the east, Tongba and Shu in the west, and the South China Sea in the west. And here......" Pointing to the side again, "Yizhou has a dangerous terrain, fertile fields for thousands of miles, the country of abundance, and it is the place where Gaozu established his hegemony. If the two states are based on this, not only can they compete with Cao and Sun, but they are also unknown if they compete for the world. ”
Liu Yong listened to Zhuge Liang's impassioned and eloquent talk, and admired it even more in his heart, this Kong Ming is really a genius, although he is young, he looks down on the general trend of the world like a gully in his chest, clear and clear.
Zhuge Liang looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's a pity that these two anointed places will fall into the hands of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, if so, there is no hope for the revival of the Han family, and the world will be unlucky." ”
Liu Yong was taken aback and said: "Kong Ming's remarks like this, isn't it slandering Cao Gong as a **** minister?" Aren't you afraid that Liu Yong will tell the prime minister in a book? ”
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yong and said with a faint smile: "Brother Chongru has merit and is not rewarded, if he is separated from Cao Cao, how can he be Cao Cao's henchman?" ”
Liu Yong was shocked for a while, and Wu Ziqiang argued: "Brother Kong Ming said that he was not on good terms with Cao Gong just because of this reason, I am afraid it is a bit far-fetched. ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head, smiled again, and said: "When Xu Tian was hunting, Cao manipulated the horse to cross the head of the Son of Heaven, this act of trespassing is really disrespectful. General Guan was indignant, and stretched out his hand to pick up his sword to kill Cao Cao, but he was stopped by Uncle Liu Huang. Many people saw this scene, but they just hid it from Cao Cao. Brother Chongru followed the emperor's uncle, how could he really assist Cao Cao. ”
Liu Yong was stunned for a while, this Kong Ming is really a genius, he was impressed in his heart, and said: "It turns out that Brother Kong Ming already knew Liu Yong's thoughts, but it made me suspicious. ”
"I can't imagine that with Liu Yong's ability, there will be a time when there will be a fork." Zhuge Liang laughed, and then said with a straight face, "The land of Jingzhou must be taken as soon as possible, if it is delayed, it will be taken by Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and there is no need to regret it." ”
Liu Yong also feels the same way, but unfortunately he can't be in a hurry, Liu Bei is still "planting vegetables" now. No, Zhuge Liang asked like this, which means that he has already had a plan in his heart, who will it be? Liu Yong asked cautiously: "Brother Kong Ming thinks that there is anyone else who can obtain these two states and fight against Cao and Sun?" ”
Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Yong deeply and replied: "There was originally a candidate, and it was Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang. Xuande Gongben embraced the land of Xuzhou, and it was the emperor's family, and the letter was written in the four seas. But now he is claustrophobic by Cao Cao in Xudu, and he has generals but no soldiers, although he is a hero, he is useless. Liang was already disheartened, but now he has found someone, who is no better than Liu Bei. ”
Liu Yong was suspicious for a while, there was still someone who was comparable to Liu Bei, so he asked, "Dare to ask Brother Kong Ming who this person is?" Does Liu know? ”
Zhuge Liang smiled silently and tapped Liu Yong lightly with his fingers.
Liu Yong was shocked: "Is Brother Kong Ming talking about it?" Liu Yongcai is only a staff general, he has no authority and lacks major generals, how can He De dare to take on such a heavy responsibility, Brother Kong Ming must not make fun of it. ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Why should you be humble as a brother. You used clever tricks to solve the siege of Fuyi, and took Hanoi lightly without blood, so that you persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender, how can such a person be mediocre? ”
Liu Yong was even more surprised, "How can Kong Ming know so well about Zaixia?" ”
Zhuge Liang said proudly: "Although Liang is rarely out of Longzhong, he also knows the major events in the world. That Fuyi is a lonely town, and it is as famous as Jiangxia in a snap of a finger, why? Although Chongru conceals the hidden traces and deliberately conceals them, he has many friends, and it is not difficult to know the mystery. ”
Liu Yong was speechless, so he had to say, "Thank you Brother Kong Ming for lifting up." It's just that Liu Yong is only a shallow learner, and it is difficult to take on important responsibilities, not to mention that I am a person from the Western Regions, and it is difficult to convince the public. ”
"What Chongru said is not unreasonable, but ......" The words in front may still be humble, but the latter sentence is fatal, Zhuge Liang hesitated for a while, and couldn't think of a response in an instant.
I only heard Liu Yong say again: "Although the Duke of Xuande lives in Xudu, I expect that sooner or later he will get out of trouble, and he will respond to the throne with the respect of the emperor's uncle." Why should Brother Kong Ming worry about this matter? ”
Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and said: "Can Uncle Huang really get out of trouble?" ”
Liu Yong replied solemnly: "I have agreed with Uncle Huang on how to deal with it, and news has come in the past few days. ”
Zhuge Liang stroked his palms and said happily: "In this way, the Han family is hopeful." ”
The two looked at each other and laughed, and Liu Yong suddenly had a question in his heart, so he asked: "Brother Kong Ming, if you have a matter to ask for advice below, can you revive the Han family and dominate the world with this land of Jing and Yierzhou?" ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Definitely." Even if you have Jing Yi, you have to stick to the danger first, and Zhurong in the west, Fu Yi and Yue in the south, Sun Ce in diplomacy, and cultivate political affairs in the internal area, and build up momentum. When the world changes, a team of Jingzhou's soldiers will go to Wancheng and Luoyang; A team led the people of Yizhou to go out of Qinchuan, and the two roads were carried out at the same time, so as to revive the Han dynasty and complete the great cause. ”
Liu Yong stared at the map, thinking about Zhuge Liang's words, and the doubts in his heart were finally solved. In the past, I always heard people arguing that Zhuge Liang's Longzhong was unrealistic, and it was impossible for Shu to unify the world, but in fact, these people misunderstood Zhuge Liang's plan. There are actually two decisive factors in this, one is that Jingzhou and Yizhou must jointly send troops; Second, there are changes in the world, either because of war and disasters, or because of the corruption of officials, which makes the people's grievances boil, and these two conditions are indispensable. It's a pity that Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou in history, which made the Shu Han Dynasty lose the opportunity early. Zhuge Liang actually knew that the Northern Expedition would not succeed, and his six trips to Qishan were just to inherit Liu Bei's last wish, and he was also reluctantly implemented in order to repay his kindness, and finally died of illness in Wuzhangyuan due to overwork. If Zhuge Liang did not send troops to the Northern Expedition, with his talents, Shu might not be the first to perish, which is also the place where Liu Yong sighed for Zhuge Liang when he read the Three Kingdoms. However, doing his best and dying is indeed a portrayal of Zhuge Liang's life, and it is also the reason why future generations worship him.
Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Yong was stunned, didn't speak for a long time, and gently pushed him on the shoulder, "Chongru brother!" ”
Liu Yong woke up like a dream, and said with a sneer: "What Brother Kong Ming said is very true. ”
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "If you want to become a hegemon, let Cao Cao occupy the sky in the north, let Sun Ce occupy the land in the south, and the imperial uncle can occupy the people." First take Jingzhou as home, then take Xichuan Jianye, first become a full momentum, and then wait for the opportunity to enter the Central Plains, rejuvenate Sheji, and then revitalize the dynasty. ”
The two opened their hearts and felt even more happy, Liu Yong suddenly thought of something, and said: "There is a reluctant request below, I wonder if Brother Kong Ming can agree?" (To be continued.) )
