Chapter 21: Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan
"Brother Quan is so young, he has such a thorough grasp of the art of war, I think he wants to do a great career, I don't know who Brother Quan will follow." Zhuge Liang waited for everyone to stop laughing and then continued.
Zhang Quan has a thorough grasp of the art of war? That is true, on paper, Zhang Quan ranks second, and Zhao Kuo can't rank first. However, Zhuge Liang asked Zhang Quan who he was following, and he wanted Zhang Quan to talk about the princes of the world, and he was good at this.
Zhang Quan was about to speak, when he suddenly thought that Zhuge Liang had died in the Han family.
You must know that Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was the fourth king of the sea and the king of water in that life, Qin Shi Huang, the fifth king of bronze and fire, and Xiang Yu, the king of the earth and the mountain, who was the third king, fought fiercely. also sank in the Wujiang River forever.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, four hundred years have passed since Liu Bang, the king of the sea and water, founded, and the dragon bloodline of the Han royal family has long been diluted. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is the same as our protagonist Zhang Quan, a pure-blooded human being.
However, Zhuge Liang, as a super hybrid of ocean and water attribute blood, is not a dragon king, but he is a dragon king, and his combat power may exceed that of the dragon king. Zhuge Liang has an inexplicable attachment and sense of belonging to the Han Empire, which is still nominally a kingdom of sea and water.
Zhuge Liang still remembers the days of following Zhuge Jin in his early years.
At that time, Zhuge Liang's super hybrid attribute had not yet awakened, as a high-ranking hybrid race, but because of his speech and spirit skills and combat experience, his combat effectiveness was not as good as Zhuge Jin, who was only a median ocean and water bloodline. But Zhuge Liang has not taught since he was a child, and their brothers have the same blood as the Han royal family, and the responsibility given to them by this transcendent blood is to wait for the entire Han Empire.
It's a pity that this so-called family motto, when faced with the Yellow Turban Army, which is just a mess, is fragile. The Zhuge family, who have lived in the most prosperous city in the land of China for generations, in Yecheng, Hebei Province, bore the brunt of the mutated dragon high-ranking hybrid race Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Jiao's dragon breath swept across the entire Yecheng, and the yellow sand in the sky spread; Zhuge Jin escaped by sneaking into the Yellow River with his younger brothers, and the rest of the Zhuge family was heard from again.
Zhuge Liang never believed in the ability of the dragon bloodline to transcend the human world, because he was familiar with the history books, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Policy, all of which were all understood, and the history books could conceal that behind the strife among the heroes in the world was just a simple and rough battle between high-ranking dragon hybrids, but Zhuge Liang always thought that history was what was recorded in the history books, and the tactics of fighting for the world or the sea of people were the most effective.
Even though he witnessed Zhang Jiao's dragon breath destroying the entire Zhuge family, Zhuge Liang also thought that Zhang Jiao was just a mutated demon and monster, and poured a basin of black pig blood on it, and it was completely exposed.
Until one day, Zhuge Jin had almost entered the Jiangdong camp. Sun Quan came to visit Zhuge and talked with Zhuge Jin in the study.
Zhuge Liang entered the study with two cups of tea, and the moment he saw Sun Quan, the "puff pop" tea fell to the ground, splashing Zhuge Jin's body, but there was no water mark on Sun Quan's clothes.
Sun Quan was furious, and Zhuge Jin asked gently, "Brother Xian, why are you so excited?" ”
It's not that Zhuge Liang is not calm, and when he sees Sun Quan, who is a little handsome, he is so excited that he can't hold the teacup. It's just that at this moment, Zhuge Liang's body is completely under the control of his brain nerve center, and the dragon blood cells in his body are constantly dividing and mutating, and a brand-new nerve center grows in the thirteenth spine, which is the second nerve center that only true pure-blooded dragons have.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang, who was originally of high blood in the ocean and water, was inspired by the breath of Sun Quan, the king of the new generation of sea and water, and the characteristics of the super hybrid that had been hidden in Zhuge Liang's body for more than ten years awakened.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang's eyes were already swollen with blood, as if he had slaughtered millions of people with his own hands, and the blood and qi of millions of people had all gathered into Zhuge Liang's eyes, and he looked at Sun Quan with an unkind face.
Sun Quan, the fourth king of the dragon clan, the king of the sea and water, for the first time in his life, felt fear, even if he was a mutant hybrid Sun Ce, who lived in the sea and water at the same time and could compete head-on with the pure-blooded dragon clan, when he ran into Sun Quan and his grandmother fornicating with his grandmother and was furious, he never gave Sun Quan the slightest sense of danger.
But at this moment, the high-ranking hybrid of the sea and water in front of him, who was supposed to bow down without any price, inflicted on Sun Quan a sense of danger that could only be inflicted on Sun Quan by other dragon kings, no, only the black kings and white kings standing at the top of the pyramid.
Sun Quan didn't want to stay longer, didn't say goodbye to Zhuge Jin, and hurriedly walked out.
"Stop!" Zhuge Liang shouted angrily at Sun Quan.
Sun Quan turned his head slightly, only to see his right hand fall out, in a gesture of holding a sword, and the tea scattered all over the place instantly formed a pure liquid long knife in Zhuge Liang's hand, and the flowing water that formed the knife body was still flowing back and forth, crystal clear, and within ten meters of the blade, it was already snowfalling.
Zhuge Liang closed his eyes, and with a slight wave of his right hand, the water knife turned into a battle wide sword qi, slashing towards Sun Quan; Sun Quan had no power to parry, he was slashed by the sword qi, and he only felt unbearable pain all over his body, and the water element around him did not listen to the control of Sun Quan, the king of the sea and water, who was dominated by the water element, at this moment; The pure water sword qi did not dissipate at all, and Sun Quan continued to row forward; Sun Quan was in agony in the heat of thousands of degrees Celsius generated by the friction between the passive and the rapid air, and then, rescuing the castration of the pure water sword qi, he rushed into the huge Huai River in embarrassment, turned into a dragon form about ten meters in size, and escaped.
Zhuge Liang didn't care about Sun Quan, turned back to Zhuge Jin and asked:
"This is the lord you want to follow?"
Zhuge Jin never thought that his younger brother Zhuge Liang, who had never believed in the ability of dragon blood, would already be able to face the dragon king once he made a move. Zhuge Jin was shocked by Zhuge Liang's strength, but his spirit was still sober, and he cleared up a righteous qi from his body and returned to Zhuge Liang:
"Yes, this is the lord I want to follow, the new generation of the king of the sea and water, just like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty!"
"A new generation of kings of the sea and water? Oh, it's funny," Zhuge Liang's right hand was still holding a sword, raised it in front of him and looked at it, although he didn't hold any weapon in his hand, Zhuge Jin knew that Zhuge Liang could extract water molecules from the surrounding air at any time, and instantly formed an invisible sword in his hand, and this invisible sword could kill everything in the world. Zhuge Liang said arrogantly:
"If it weren't for the fact that he also had the blood of the sea and water flowing from him, I would have slain him with a single sword!"
Zhuge Jin said unashamedly: "Brother Xian, have you read the family motto, our Zhuge family, we must swear to protect this country of the sea and water, that is, we must swear to protect the king of the sea and water." ”
"What we want to protect is the king who will always sit on the golden throne in Luoyang!" Zhuge Liang said.
"Really?" Zhuge Jin said lightly, "I don't want to protect the Han Emperor in Luoyang, but with this willfulness alone, I can't survive the rest of my life." Zhuge Jin's tone was tinged with a faint but never-diluted sadness, "Although I don't know why, now that you have the ability to challenge the Dragon King head-on, you should know better than me that the real king of the ocean and water, just like Gaozu Liu Bang, is an existence that can overturn his hands and make the water of the Yangtze River flow backwards!" Now the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in Luoyang, as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, but without the slightest dragon blood, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, can he?! Zhuge Jin roared with indignation. Even in the face of Zhuge Liang, who is two ranks higher and can kill him in an instant, Zhuge Jin, who is a scholar, is not afraid at all.
Zhuge Liang was speechless, and gradually walked out of the house with a relaxed face, and at the moment of going out, Zhuge Liang turned around and said:
"He can't. But I can. ”
In the days that followed, Zhuge Liang left Zhuge Jin, who settled in Jiangdong, and moved from Huainan to the Hanshui area of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang never used the combat power of the super hybrid, in the opinion of Xu Shu Pangtong Huang Chengyan, Zhuge Liang is still the high-ranking sea and water hybrid who is not good at fighting.
In the dead of night, Zhuge Liang's market stood on the edge of the Han River, and the vast and surging water vapor was coming, and Zhuge Liang could feel that this was the power he could use. There is a phenomenon, Zhuge Liang has seen a lot, it is not strange, although the Han River, Wujiang River and so on are the direct flow of the Yangtze River, but you really observe the Yangtze River and these Yangtze River tributaries, it is very common, and the tributaries often appear to be larger and wider than the Yangtze River.
For the scarcity of the dragon bloodline of the Han royal family, Zhuge Liang racked his brains and could not do anything, even if Zhuge Liang strolled to Jiangdong single-handedly, and fought a great war with Sun Quan in the form of the dragon king in the army of millions. Then Zhuge Liang killed this new generation of the king of the sea and water when he was exhausted, but he couldn't change the fact that the Han royal family no longer had the slightest dragon blood.
Yuan Shao of Hebei, the sixth king of the new generation, the king of the sky and the wind, is still entrenched in the north, eyeing the tiger; Cao Cao of Henan, the third king of the new generation, the king of the earth and the mountain, is returning to the land of China with the power of the king. The Zhou Dynasty was the land of the sky and the wind, the Qin Dynasty was the country of bronze and fire, the Han Dynasty was the country of the sea and water, and it seems that the next dynasty would be the land of the earth and the mountains that Cao Cao would lead?
When it was peaceful today, the war was suspended, but Zhuge Liang knew that the Han royal family, the enemies looked around, and Zhuge Liang even wanted to be the guardian of the Han Dynasty, but he helplessly found that the object he wanted to protect was fragile and ridiculous. Even if he was an ordinary man, he entered the palace with a dagger and stabbed it lightly, and the bloodline of the Han Dynasty was broken.
When Zhuge Liang stood on the top of the Han River, the vast water vapor was coming, and the endless water elements cheered and jumped around Zhuge Liang, and in an instant, Zhuge Liang had a feeling of king.
At this time, Zhuge Liang also thought about whether to abandon all the fetters of the secular world and be a dragon that truly overlooks the world, or travel overseas, not worrying about the world, or rise up from the pole, with the posture of a super hybrid, lead an army, conquer the world, and create an era that is no longer a pure-blooded dragon but a half-blood.
It's just that Zhuge Liang can't be as ruthless as the dragon king of the pure-blooded dragon, despise the world, conquer the world, even if the blood is like a river, the lives are ruined, and the hunger is everywhere, but it is as if nothing has happened.
Zhuge Liang can't do it, Zhuge Liang's body has human blood that is forever scarce but cannot be annihilated; Scarce human blood, like a pebble, you can easily crush it, crush it, crush it, beat it into ashes, but ashes, you can no longer annihilate ashes.
Zhuge Liang is a human being, "In this life, there must always be some fetters and some sense of belonging." Zhuge Liang stood on the bank of the Han River, looking up at the bright moon in the sky that coldly illuminated the bleak earth, and sighed.
Zhuge Liang's sense of belonging is the huge and dying Han Empire.
・・・・・
The story returns to Zhang Quan's tongue argument with Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang asked who Zhang Quan would follow, this question was absolutely amazing, as long as Zhang Quan did not answer Emperor Xian, he would immediately have an estrangement with Zhang Quan, and Zhang Quan would be in vain if he accepted him.
Zhang Quan calmed down, and then said:
"I learned to think about the art of war, just to be able to eradicate a traitor like Zhang Jiao and Dong Zhuo for the common people in the world, now I am still young, and I haven't made too many plans, can the younger brother listen to the opinion of Brother Kong Ming?"
"Well, I was at a loss for words just now, the Holy One is the son of Destiny, and we should follow him and help him destroy the feudal domain and revive China." Zhuge Liang said righteously.
Zhang Quan's head was big after hearing this, the current Zhuge Liang is in his prime, he is full of spirits, but he is dead-headed, and when he helped Liu Bei take Yizhou and encouraged Liu Bei to be called the king of Hanzhong, how can he still remember what he said when he was young.
"Can you share your plans with you?" Zhang Quan said to Xu Shu, the eldest.
"In the past few years, I have studied with Mr. Huang and Mr. Shuijing, and I really haven't thought about who I will follow after completing my studies?" Xu Shu said slowly.
"Oh, what are you talking about so vaguely," Pang Tong, whose face was unruly and unruly, said loudly, "We are all clear about the situation today, and what Kong Ming said about following Emperor Xian is just talking." If you want me to say, go find a prince who crosses the state and county to follow; Yuan Shao in the north is strong, but his strategists are all famous all over the world, and I am out of play; Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, and Corporal Lixian was worth following; Of course, I am more optimistic about the little overlord Sun Ce, but unfortunately he was killed by Zhang Xiu, who suddenly had more Jiangnan four counties. ”
"Hmph, those who bully the king are not enough and have a plan." Pang Tong was interrupted by Zhuge Liang when he said later, Pang Tong probably understood Zhuge Liang's thoughts, pouted, and didn't care.
Everyone also wanted to express their thoughts, but Zhuge Liang stopped them.
"Now that the saint is trapped by the Cao thief, I don't know why Kong Ming didn't follow the saint?" Zhang Quan asked.
"Now the Cao thief is besieged by General Yuan and Uncle Liu, General Yuan's army of 300,000 hoards of Guandu, grain and grass are sufficient, Uncle Liu Huang according to the rich land of Xuzhou to contain the Cao thief, will be able to break Cao Cao and welcome the saint. The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, deeply favored by the saints, and Emperor Liu's uncle Rende is in the four seas, and he will not be like Cao Cao, but will also be a bright and prosperous man in the Han world. "The highest level of a politician is to say that he doesn't believe in others to believe it, and now Zhuge Liang may have reached this step.
Hearing him say this, Pang Tong and Xu Shu were silent, and some classmates sent air, and whispered Then what are we doing now to discuss the situation in the world, didn't Uncle Liu Huang and General Yuan immediately succeed in clearing the monarch and reviving the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Quan looked at Zhuge Liang coldly, glanced at the corner of his mouth and said with a sneer: "I don't know if Kong Ming has ever heard a word?" ”
"Huh?"
"The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the people of the world."
"Hmm. The world belongs to the people of the world, but it is impossible for the world to be managed by everyone at the same time. At this time, a monarch is needed to speak for the people of the world and exercise power on behalf of the people of the world. Zhuge Liang said.
"Then why can this monarch only be the Holy One today? Why can't it be Prime Minister Cao, General Yuan, or Uncle Liu Huang? ”
"The Holy Lord is the Son of Heaven, how can he be replaced casually?" Zhuge Liang was already a little bored.
"Today's Liu Emperor's Son of Heaven is only four hundred years, how can Kong Ming not think that the identity of the Son of Heaven of the Liu Family was also taken from the hands of Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang still had Zhou Tianzi before, and Zhou Tianzi before Zhou Tianzi There were ancient kings such as the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Yandi, Yao Shunyu, Shang Tang and so on. Maybe now that the Han dynasty has been numbered, maybe it's time to change the dynasty? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion, Huang Chengyan Sima Hui's face was all black, as if the ice edges were propped up on their faces, they had eaten Han Li and lived until now, how could they allow someone to openly say that the Han family qi had been in front of them? But what Zhang Quan said is reasonable and well-founded, and there is no way to refute it.
Everyone looked at Zhang Quan with awe in their ears, and Huang Yueying, who was standing at the door, silently felt the confident temperament exuded by Zhang Quan, as for what Zhang Quan said, it didn't matter to her anymore. Zhuge Liang Pang Tong Xu Shu looked at Zhang Quan coldly, and Zhuge Liang issued a crisp words:
"Who are you?" A word was like a needle falling to the ground, and the audience was shocked, but the audience was silent.
Zhang Quan replied with a bored smile: "My surname is Zhang Mingquan, and I am the only son of Zhang Xiu, who killed Sun Ce in the four counties of Liu Biaojiangnan. ”
The audience was in an uproar, so that's the case. What was it? When people are surprised by something, they always find the point that surprises them, but that point is often the least surprising to them.
"So, you're here to let us assist your father and son?" Pang Tong looked at it and said lightly.
"Yes." Zhang Quan nodded deeply, "Everyone here has talents from heaven and earth, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, they won't appreciate you, but I grew up in Jiangling since I was a child, but I know it." ”
"No matter what, it's always a matter of broadening my horizons to be able to discuss with you today, and I want to ask Brother Quan a question before leaving." Zhuge Liang said with an unkind face.
"But it doesn't hurt to ask."
"What does Brother Quan think of the monarch?"
"Monarch, as I just said, from the Yellow Emperor to the present, there have been nearly ten monarchs. However, I do not think that any of them were real monarchs. Zhang Quan said lightly, the audience was silent, paused and continued: "It's still the same sentence, the world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world." In my opinion, a true monarch should be elected by the people of the world, who promulgate policies that are most beneficial to the general public, who live in houses that are not much different from ordinary people, and who put the people of the world first in everything. On the other hand, from Yan Huang to the current monarch, the status of the monarch was obtained through the seizure of force and hereditary succession, and when it comes to the people, only the rule is in mind, and I don't know why we call such monarchs holy. ”
"You!" A scolding sounded from behind, Zhang Quan turned around and bowed:
"Mr. Huang, Mr. Sima, I know that you have consciously been favored by the Han family for a long time. I think what I said is a great rebellion and deception, but what I want to say is that the person who gave you food, money, land, and houses was not the Yellow Emperor who sat on the throne, but the people who worked hard every day and experienced war. ”
