Chapter 395: The Second Look at the Thatched House is still missing
readx;
Luoyang changed banners, and the entire division fell into the hands of Liu Zhang, and the big families in Hedong and other places began to flee en masse, especially those who had people as officials under Cao Ying. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Old man Yang Biao was a lieutenant in Xuchang, and when he heard that Liu Zhang occupied Luoyang, he hurriedly moved the Yang family to Shouchun! Why move to Shouchun instead of Xuchang? Because Cao Ying wants to move the capital!
Historically, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, beheaded Pang De, captured him alive, and shocked China. Fancheng didn't know how far away from Xuchang was, but Cao Ying still wanted to move the capital to avoid its edge. Now Liu Zhang's momentum is even worse than Guan Yu in history, and Luoyang and Xuchang are only separated by one pass, if Cao Ying doesn't want to run, it will be strange!
It stands to reason that the relocation of the capital is a major national event, and there are definitely more people who oppose it than those who are in favor of it. But this time, Cao Yinggang said that the capital would be moved, and everyone agreed, including the puppet emperor sitting on the dragon chair. Liu Xie, who is in his early twenties, was hit several times by Sima Yi, and he was so honest that he couldn't be honest anymore, for fear that Cao Ying would kill him in anger!
As for some loyal ministers of the Han family who agreed to Cao Ying's relocation of the capital, they also had other ideas. Because Xuchang is located in Yanzhou, it can be said that it is the land of Cao Ying's Longxing, and the families here are Cao Ying's henchmen. Only by leaving this tiger and wolf's den can Cao Ying be overthrown, so the loyal ministers of the Han family also chose to agree.
There are a lot of things that need to be prepared for moving, and only Shouchun is the best to choose from. At that time, Yuan Shu was called the emperor and once built a palace in Shouchun. It's only been a few years now, and although those palaces are a little dilapidated, they can be used once they are repaired, and it's better than rebuilding them! At the same time, after Liu Zhang's victory over the foreign clan, Cao Ying was preparing to defend against Liu Zhang, while secretly ordering his henchmen to move. When the capital was proposed, most of the Cao family and Xiahou family moved to Shouchun.
After knowing that Cao Ying was preparing to move the capital, Liu Zhang couldn't help but sneer a little. To be honest, if he is allowed to fight Cao Ying now, it can really be said that the outcome is not yet known! Although he defeated Yuan Shao and the foreign clans, he was also greatly injured, at least the armaments and materials he had accumulated for several years had been exhausted, and he really couldn't support a large-scale war! It's a pity that Cao Ying only saw his victory, but not his weakness.
Since Cao Ying didn't come to fight, Liu Zhang also had to be idle. handed over all the affairs to Guo Jia and others, and he became the shopkeeper again. In fact, everyone didn't know that Liu Zhang wanted to go to Wuling, because there was a great talent there that he greatly admired and even admired: Zhuge Liang!
Speaking of Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying gave birth to a son named Zhuge Zhan. For the sake of his wife, Zhuge Liang lived in his father-in-law's house for more than half a year, and it was not until Huang Yueying's body recovered that he returned to Wuling with his wife and children. When he arrived at Wuling Thatched House, the first news Zhuge Liang got was that Liu Bei was visiting!
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh a little, he suddenly felt that his fate with Liu Bei was very shallow. Huang Yueying was originally a smart woman, and when she saw that her husband was displeased, she immediately asked out. Zhuge Liang admired his wife's talent very much, so he told her what he was thinking. Huang Yueying couldn't help laughing and said: "The talent of the husband, no matter where you go, you will be valued, it's just sooner or later, why bother holding Liu Bei?" Even if you can't be a big official, you and I have a good life and raise our children, isn't it a pleasure? ā
As the saying goes: How can a husband be empty in the mountains and forests! Although Zhuge Liang agreed with Huang Yueying's statement, he didn't want to do it. But his wife had just given birth to Lin'er for himself, and he couldn't refute it, so he had to promise to say yes, but between the eyebrows, Huang Yueying had insight into his thoughts. Huang Yueying knew that once Zhuge Liang was entangled, it would be difficult to change, so she no longer persuaded him. It's just that she and Zhuge Liang didn't know that their little thatched hut had long been under Liu Bei's surveillance!
Liao Li is not Liu Bei, he has no patience. Liu Bei asked him to pay attention to Zhuge Liang's movements, and he simply waited for the rabbit and used countless spies to guard Zhuge Liang's thatched house. Zhuge Liang just came back, he knew about it, and reported it to Liu Bei. When Liu Bei learned of this, he immediately prepared enough gifts to visit!
Although Wuling is also the boundary of Jingzhou, the Huang and Pang families have no power here, so they have not been able to create much momentum for Zhuge Liang, and there are even fewer eyeliner! Liu Bei traveled all the way, and he was almost at Zhuge Liang's thatched house, and Zhuge Liang knew about it. Huang Yueying saw that her husband's tightly locked brows finally relaxed, and she couldn't help laughing: "Husband, don't hurry up and tidy up your clothes and welcome Liu Yuanjun!" ā
"Nope! I'm going to test his sincerity! Zhuge Liang's words almost made Huang Yueying, who was holding the child, fall to the ground, her husband is good at everything, but he is too entangled. Liu Bei came, he didn't meet it, so he suspected that the fate was too shallow, and now that people came to the door for the second time, he wanted to test the sincerity of others, which made Huang Yueying a little crying and laughing!
"The husband tried slowly, and the concubine went back to the house!" Huang Yueying hugged the child and saluted, and then hid in the back hall. Zhuge Liang nodded, called the scholar, and gave a careful order.
Liu Bei came to the thatched house, stepped forward and knocked on the firewood, and it was the scholar who opened the door. Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to salute and asked with a smile, "Is Mr. at home?" ā
"I'm reading in the cottage!" The scholar's answer made Liu Bei overjoyed.
"Take me to Mr. quickly!" Hearing that he could see Daxian, Liu Bei's heart was like a cat's paw. The scholar didn't dare to slack off, so he took him into the cottage. When I went to the middle gate, I saw a big book on the door: "Indifferent to Mingzhi." Tranquil and distant. ā
Liu Bei was reading the couplet, and suddenly heard the sound of chanting, so he stood on the side of the door and peeked at it. I saw that above the grass hall, a young man hugged his knees and sang: "The phoenix soars in the thousands of miles, not the sycamore; Shifu is on one side, and he is not the master. Happy to plough in Longmuxi, my house; Talk about being proud of the piano and books, waiting for the time. ā
Of course, this person is not Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang's third brother Zhuge Jun. Some time ago, Huang Yueying was waiting to give birth, and Zhuge Liang went to his father-in-law's house for the New Year, and he couldn't keep his younger brother at home, so he took it with him. Now that he is back, he has naturally brought him back. But Liu Bei didn't know, he had only heard of Zhuge Liang's reputation, but he didn't know Zhuge Liang's age. Seeing Zhuge Jun studying in the grass hall again, coupled with the words of the scholar, he mistook his younger brother for his elder brother!
Liu Bei waited for his song to stop, and immediately entered the grass hall to salute and said: "Mr. Beijiumu, I have no chance to pay a visit." Because of Liao Gongyuan's recommendation, he went to Xianzhuang and did not return empty. It is a great pleasure to come here today and have a glimpse of the Tao! ā
Zhuge Jun had already received his brother's instructions, and pretended to be surprised: "Gong Mo is not Liu Yuzhou, and he wants to see his brother?" ā
Liu Bei's heart sank when he heard this, and he asked dumbly: "Mr. is not Wolong?" ā
Zhuge Jun said with a smile: "A certain is Zhuge Junye, the brother of Wolong." Three foolish brothers: the eldest brother Zhuge Jin, now Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou is a guest of the scene; Kong Ming is the second brother. ā
"I see!" Liu Bei smiled and asked, "Mr. Wolong can be at home?" ā
"My brother said yesterday that he was invited by Cui Zhouping to go on a leisurely trip!" Zhuge Liang was obviously in the back hall, Zhuge Jun opened his eyes and said nonsense, and pulled Cui Jun out. That Cui Jun and Cui Zhouping are rushing to Youzhou to take office, how can they have time to hang out with Zhuge Liang?
Liu Bei asked with some loss, "Where did Mr. go to wander?" ā
Zhuge Jun replied with a smile: "Or take a boat to swim in the rivers and lakes, or visit the monks on the mountains, or find friends between the villages, or play the piano and chess in the caves: the back and forth are unpredictable, and I don't know where to go." ā
Liu Bei sighed: "My fate with Mr. is really so shallow, I haven't met a great sage twice!" ā
Seeing Liu Bei's lonely expression, Zhuge Jun felt quite guilty in his heart, after all, he was young and rarely deceived people. I wanted to tell the truth, but I glanced at the back hall, only to see Zhuge Liang waving his hand gently, Zhuge couldn't help laughing and said: "Liu Yuzhou, please sit down and serve tea, maybe my brother will come back soon!" ā
Liu Bei only thought that this was a comforting word, and couldn't help but have a good impression of the young man in front of him, but before he could speak, a loud shout sounded, it turned out that Xu Chu heard that Zhuge Liang was not at home, so he urged Liu Bei to leave quickly! Seeing this, Zhuge sighed in his heart. If there is no reckless man like Xu Chu, Zhuge Liang will naturally come out after taking Qiao for a while. But as soon as Xu Chu spoke, he could only send off guests!
"My brother is not here, I don't dare to stay with the general for a long time, let me return the gift!" As soon as Zhuge Jun's words came out, it meant to send off the guests, how could Liu Bei not hear it, but he still had a lot to say, so he could only glare at Xu Chu hatefully and tell him to shut up. Xu Chu didn't know what he had done wrong, and touched his head a little depressed.
"Now that I am here, how can I return without saying a word!" Liu Bei knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he smiled and said, "How dare you hope that Mr. will drive in vain." After a few days, be ready to come. I am willing to borrow pen and paper to make a book, and stay with Brother Ling to express Liu Bei's courtesy! ā
Zhuge presented pen and ink, Liu Bei wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang, and then rode out of the house, and met Huang Chengyan, who came to visit his daughter and son-in-law, and stepped forward to talk a few words. Huang Chengyan is not here to show off for his son-in-law, but a daughter who is not at ease to give birth, after all, Old Man Huang is such a daughter, very baby!
I didn't meet him during the two visits, and Liu Bei was also a little dissatisfied in his heart, after all, he was not like in history, there was only one Xu Shu, and he was poached away by Cao Ying. Now, although Liu Bei knows the importance of strategists, with Liao Li, he is not very eager for Zhuge Liang. But Liu Bei's eyes were there, and through the conversation with Huang Chengyan, his resentment against Zhuge Liang disappeared!
Who is Huang Chengyan? Zhuge Liang's father-in-law and teacher! Maybe his talent is not as good as Zhuge Liang, but he is not ordinary, coupled with life experience, fooling Liu Bei is not a piece of cake. As soon as he saw Liu Bei's dissatisfaction, he resolved it without moving! Sending Liu Bei away, Huang Chengyan couldn't wait to rush into the thatched house, he already understood that Zhuge Liang was hanging Liu Bei's appetite, so he only went to his grandson!
Zhuge Liang couldn't see Liu Bei's dissatisfaction, but he really didn't want to go out of the mountain like this. Helping Liu Bei must be a difficult thing. If there is no great sincerity, how can Zhuge Liang be willing to be a cow and a horse for a lifetime? With Zhuge Liang's heart surname, if he doesn't know the master, he would rather not go out of the mountain!
