Chapter Eighty-Six: Two Visits to the Thatched House......
"Yes. It is Liu Bei. The ancestor of the Zhuoxian family of Xuanjun County was after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty, but the family fell in the middle of the road and made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes.
My father died early, and my mother worked hard to manage the family business, so I had a wish since I was a child: to shine on the door skirt and restore the prosperity of my ancestors, so as not to make my mother work so hard again.
Subsequently, during the early peace period. The natural disasters of the Han Dynasty have been repeated, the people have been displaced, and the thieves everywhere are ready to move, which has made the people of the Han Dynasty even worse, and the suffering is unspeakable.
As a royal family, I should serve the country, stabilize the people, and spread my name to the world, so that is what a big husband does!
The first year of Zhongping. The thief first opened his horn and raised hundreds of thousands of people to rebel against the cabinet deer, and the thief wrapped a yellow scarf on his head, claiming to be Taipingdao, and the thief was monstrous. The scourge of war has spread to Henan, Chong, Yi, Qing, Yang, Jing and other prefectures, and the momentum is extremely strong
The eldest husband should be famous all over the world and live for hundreds of generations, how can he do nothing and live an empty life?
Therefore, I want to fight the yellow turban with the heroes in the village in January, but I don't want to meet another hero, well, that is, today's second brother and third brother,
Second brother Guan Yu. The word cloud is long. Hedong Jieren, a martial arts is rare in his life, and he is a peerless general!
And the third brother Zhang Fei Zhang Yide can not go, although he was born as a butcher, but his strength is still above the cloud chief, as the saying goes, taking the head of a general in a million army, such as probing the bag to take things" Others may not believe it. But I believe that if Yide can quit drinking and being impatient, his achievements will not be under the clouds.
After the three of us burned incense in the peach orchard, they immediately helped each other to defend the county, and in that battle, the second brother and the third brother beheaded the general of the thief army in an instant, causing the Yellow Turban thieves to be leaderless, and they were big for our army!
I wanted to ask for an official position through this, but I never thought that the Han Dynasty, which has been inherited for more than 400 years, is now like that.
Eunuchs are in power, external power is rampant, and they intrigue for their own interests every day, but they treat the people of the world as if they were nothing.
As a member of the royal family. Since he was on the side of the Qing monarch, however, "Alas!
In just two or three years, there were many things during the period, and the most distressing thing was to see the imperial power gradually decline, and the prestige was lost, and then, there were those princes in the world.
Cao Mengde in Yuzhou, Lu Fengxian in Chongzhou, Yuan Benchu in Yizhou, Yuan Highway in Yangzhou. Jiangdong Sun Uncle
My brother Youzhou assassinated Shi Gongsun Bogui, who was also broken in Yijing by Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu's joint forces, and died by himself.
And I couldn't help him anything, not only that, but Xuzhou, which was entrusted by Tao Gong, was taken by Na Lu Bu, and from then on. I have some doubts, among the fierce generals, such as the second brother and the third brother, there are people in the world who are the best. And yet why am I still being defeated? Even Lu Fengxian, who was expelled from Chongzhou by Cao Mengde, couldn't deal with it, why is this?
That's when it happened. I met someone, no, no, no, it was a celebrity who I met, and it was because of him that I understood. Why I have been defeated so many times.
But there is a lack of strategists who can plan and strategize!
And that person is extremely valued by Cao Mengde, the Great Han Situ, Jiang Zhe, and Jiang Shouyi!
I heard what the second brother and the third brother said. When the day was attacking Xuzhou, Situ only relied on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to say that Zang Ba, the general under Lu Bu, and more than 40,000 Taishan Kou under his command rebelled."
Strategists, are they all so good at attacking the heart? Situ expected that Zang Ba would fall? I can't figure out the reason for this period with my own qualifications alone, but even so, I have understood one thing: a strategist is absolutely indispensable!
If I had had been helped by a strategist like Situ earlier, would I have lost Xuzhou? How could he sit back and watch Cao Mengde coerce the Son of Heaven and be powerless?
Cao Mengde has the help of Situ and other wise men, so where is my advisor?
"Hey, you are so strange, but you came to knock on the door but you were distracted, let me ask you, who are you looking for?"
"Huh?" Liu Bei came back to his senses in a daze. Before meeting, the boy looked at himself with strange eyes, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said. "Liu lost his mind at some point, atoned for his sins, and dared to ask Zhuge Kongming if he lived here?"
I saw that the boy tilted his head and looked at Liu Bei a few times, and saw that Liu Bei's eyes were clear, and there was a bit of grandeur on his face. Then he snickered and said, "You came unfortunately, my son-in-law went to Xiangyang and has not come back yet,"
"Ah," Liu Bei looked a little disappointed on his face, hesitated and frowned and asked, "Dare to ask, I don't know when your son-in-law will come back?" ”
"That's not a good idea." The boy pursed his lips, tilted his head and hesitated, "Maybe three or two days, maybe three or two months, the son's actions have always been difficult to understand!" ”
"This" Liu Bei's face was even more sad, and he bowed his head and said with a thought, "In this way, Liu will go back for the time being, and come back to visit at this time in three days, if your son-in-law returns during the period." Can you let me know and say I've been here?"
"But I don't know who you are, how do you inform you? The boy tilted his head and said in confusion.
"Oh, Liu is rude" Liu Bei sneered, then arched his hand, and said slowly, "Han Zuo General Yicheng Pavilion Hou Huang Uncle Liu Bei, Liu Xuande"
The boy blinked. Tilting his head, he replied, "I can't remember so many names,"
"Eh" Liu Bei was dumbfounded, then shook his head and smiled, "Just say that Liu Xuande came to visit, well, it was Liu Xuande who had a relationship with your son-in-law in Xudu that day."
"Yes, I remember!" The boy nodded.
In this way, Liu said goodbye and sighed deeply, and Liu Bei waved his sleeves. I went straight back and walked a few steps. He glanced back at the hut and stared at it for a long time. before leaving.
And just after Liu Bei left, he walked out of the thatched house, looked at the direction of Liu Bei's departure and said with a smile, "I have heard the name of this imperial uncle, but I have never seen it, but today I finally have a long-cherished wish in my life" Hehe! After laughing a few times, he put a smile on his face, nodded and said, "This person has the legacy of a sage." Although you are an imperial uncle, you don't have the slightest arrogance, and you are approachable, which is really rare."
Take a closer look at the person's face. It's Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi!
"Hey" chuckled, and Xu Shu circled around the boy. "It's really vivid." The art of Liuding and Liujia is indeed extraordinary! ”
"Humph!" I saw that the boy snorted lightly, but he had a childish appearance without talent, and said with his hands behind his back, "This is a small trick to blind the eyes, how can it be compared to the power of Liuding Liujia to drive heaven and earth?" ”
"Really?" Xu Shu seemed to be a little unconvinced, and said suspiciously, "I heard that Shi Yuan said that there is a feasible cloud and rain in Liuding and Liujia, and now that Jingzhou is short of rain, why don't you let me see and understand?" ”
"You!" The boy glared at Xu Shu angrily, shook his head and said helplessly, "The rain in Jingzhou has not arrived, but it is the number of qi, the will of heaven is like this, if it is against the sky, even if I hold the book of heaven, I will lose several years of life, do you want me to die early?" ”
"Huh?" Xu Shu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "It's so fatal." Don't try it, just say, as if he remembered something, he looked at the boy very strangely, and said embarrassedly, "Eh, Kong Ming, can you, can you change back?" I'm not used to it
I saw that the boy raised his head and glanced at Xu Shu, and then silently recited a trick in his mouth, and changed back to his normal appearance in Xu Shu's stunned eyes as always.
The face is like a crown of jade, the eyes are like stars, the hair crown on the head, the hair hangs down the waist, and he is wearing a plain white coarse cloth robe, who is Zhuge Liang who Liu Bei saw in Xu Du that day?
The Heavenly Scroll is a great strategy, and it actually records such a subtle Dao method?
"Huh" exhaled heavily, Xu Shu raised his feet and walked to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, turned to look at Zhuge Liang and said, "How?" Are you a great sage out of this mountain? ”
I saw Zhuge Liang walking towards Xu Shu slowly, with a bit of thinking on his face. After a moment's notice, he raised his eyes and shook his head. "Peeping at the leopard in the tube, seeing it from time to time" Although I have seen this person in Xudu, I have never been detailed. It is impossible to conclude that he is a person, if this person is also like Yuan Benchu, he is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, I should ignore it! ”
"Hey!" Xu Shu felt a little funny, and asked with a smile, "What do you want?" ”
"Hmm" Zhuge Liang thought about it carefully, frowned and said, "This person is saying, I will come to visit in three days, so, so, so!" ”
"Huh?" When Xu Shu heard this, he was a little stunned, and said hesitantly, "Isn't this a little unkind?" ”
Glancing at Xu Shu. Zhuge Liang said lightly, "If this person can pass the test in my heart, I will spend my whole life helping him achieve great things!" ”
Xu Shu frowned and thought about it. Shaking his head and sighing, "I see this person as a man of truth. Kong Ming don't want to humiliate too much, bully the gentleman, we are ashamed! ”
"Yuan is straight and reassuring, and Liang has his own measure!"
So, in Zhuge Liang's "avoidance." Next, Liu Bei returned gloomily.
On the third day of Yue, Liu Bei promised to visit Zhuge Liang's residence again.
However, this time he was in some trouble,,
I've just arrived at the foot of the mountain. Liu Bei was stunned to find that the sky above his head had changed greatly, and in a moment it was pouring rain.
Looking left and right, Liu Bei Nai found a place to hide from the rain on the side of the road, and wanted to wait for the heavy rain to pass, and then go up the mountain to visit Zhuge Liang.
However, the strange thing is that the heavy rain has been falling for more than an hour, and it has not stopped for a while.
Seeing that the appointed hour was getting closer and closer, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and braved the pouring rain to go up the mountain.
The mountain road that felt very wide three days ago is now extremely narrow in Liu Bei's eyes, and it is also raining, and the mountain road is muddy. It is extremely difficult to walk, and there is a risk of slipping if you don't do it well.
However, Liu Bei still climbed halfway up the mountain and came to Zhuge Liang's residence, but looking at his current demeanor, it was a little ridiculous.
Wet, muddy, and filthy, the hair strands on his head were scattered by the torrential rain, and his hair was scattered with a dejected appearance. However, even so, the look in Liu Bei's eyes remained unchanged
It's strange to say. The moment Liu Bei saw the grass house, the heavy rain stopped, and the sun returned, the most strange thing is. Turning around and looking behind him at this moment, the mountain road was still as wide as it was three days ago. And on the mountain road, there is not the slightest trace of being wet by the rain."
As if there had never been a rainstorm at all,,
Liu Bei was stunned. touched the clothes on his body, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for the fact that his whole body was still wet, Liu Bei really doubted whether he had seen a ghost in the daytime.
And at this moment, it is Liu Bei and the "boy." It's time to meet! and before the grass house. Liu Bei took a deep breath, tidied up his whole body, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door, but what made him extremely stunned was that the one who came to open the door this time was the boy three days ago.
Opening his mouth in astonishment, Liu Bei had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked stubbornly, "Dare to ask little brother." Has your son-in-law ever returned? ”
"Yes!" The boy nodded.
Coming back?! Liu Bei was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "That's it." And I also bothered the little brother to introduce me on my behalf
"But I went out again," but before Liu Bei could finish speaking, the boy said very innocently. Can my brother inform your son-in-law on my behalf? ”
"Yes, I said it." The boy nodded desperately, and then said with a frowning face, "Childe originally wanted to stay and wait for you to come, and he didn't want Childe to come to make friends, so he insisted on pulling Childe to drink, and Childe couldn't resist it." was pulled away."
"I see." Liu Bei nodded and muttered, but he couldn't see what his face was now, and after a while, he raised his head, his face was the same as before, and he clenched his fists and said, "I don't want to be so coincidental today, so let's go back first, but I don't know when your son-in-law will return."
I saw that there was a slight difference in the boy's face, and he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I want to come" I don't think it will be too long, and I can return in a day or two.
"That's it, that's it!" Liu Bei sighed and said. In this case, Liu will return to the top for the time being. Dump Bo Yi came to visit! He said. He smiled at the boy and turned away.
failed twice in a row, and Liu Bei was a little disheartened.
Looking at Liu Bei's departing back, the boy's body changed and returned to his original appearance, but before he could speak, he heard a person in the room sigh.
"Kong Ming. That's not right! With that, Xu Shu slowly walked out of the house, looked at Zhuge Liang and frowned. So, can you pass your test? ”
"When the time comes, it is called punctuality, and it is faith; Brave the rain to go up the mountain, it is said that the heart is sincere, and it is sincere; I heard that this trip was also empty, but he was not angry, but he was thick; It's a pity"
"What a pity?" Xu Shu laughed and said, "It's a pity that he didn't say it at the moment, "Come back in three days." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this, then nodded and said, "One step at the door." Why is it so difficult? If this person is about three days' boat. Then three days later, Liang Zidang boiled tea and waited, but it's a pity! ”
"Hey!" Xu Shu shook his head and smiled, and said with a slight mockery, "If you treat it like this, how many people in the world will take the trouble to come to you three times or twice?" ”
"Yes." Zhuge Liang laughed at himself, shook his head and sighed, "Maybe it's due to the bad timing."
"Hey. Hey" Xu Shu waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to say anything" Heavenly opportunity, timing. came to fool me, this time it was you who was rude first, how can you blame Liu Xuande for retreating? This is good, the master in your mouth has retreated, how should this be good? ”
Facing his friend's ridicule, Zhuge Liang didn't think it was a pestle at all, nodded and said in a condensed voice, "He will come!" ”
"Is it from the heavens again?" Xu Shu smiled strangely, shook his head and pointed at Zhuge Liang and said, "If I were you." Stay: After five days, I will go to Liu Xuande's place to apologize, first, to eliminate his dissatisfaction, and second, to come,"
"It doesn't have to be!" Before Xu Shu could finish speaking, Zhuge Liang interrupted his words and said lightly. "If so, there is no room for people. Not the Lord of my heart! ”
"You," Xu Shu secretly glanced at Zhuge Liang's expression, and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, so he said hesitantly, "Kong Ming, according to your heart, if this person comes back in three days, you should be like this."
Looking at Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang smiled playfully, shook his head and said with a smile, "Yuan Zhi doesn't want to do much, this is what I want to test him, today is today, three days later is three days later, how can it be the same day."
"What else do you want to do?" Xu Shu frowned slightly. Hesitantly said, "Kong Ming, it is really an unrighteous act to bully a gentleman, since this person sincerely came to invite him, why are you repeatedly embarrassed?" This can never be done again. Don't go too far! ”
"It's because this person sincerely came to invite that I am like this," Zhuge Liang shook his head when he heard Xu Shu's words. sighed softly, "Hurt him for a while, help him for a lifetime, I Zhuge Kongming thought to myself and didn't have anything in my heart."
"You want to test him again?" Xu Shuhu asked.
Hear the words. Zhuge Liang looked at Xu Shu with a smile. He laughed and said, "How?" Could it be that Yuan Zhi has been moved by this person? ”
"That's it!" Xu Shu smiled, and said with a strange expression, "I look at this person, he is the master of Kong Ming's mouth, if Kong Ming doesn't go, Shu Ke will be the first to take the lead!" ”
"In that case, Yuan Zhi should go and help him" Zhuge Liang smiled, not thinking about the pestle at all, and turned around and walked towards the grass house. said lightly, "When Yuan Zhi really thinks that this person is the master, it is not too late for Liang to assist him!" ”
"Hey!" Xu Shu was a little stunned, looked at Zhuge Liang's back and shouted strangely, "If Kong Mingnai listens to my account in the future, don't regret it today, it's too late!" I, I'm really going,"
"Hehe" Zhuge Liang heard this, and turned his head to look at Xu Shu. Shaking his head and saying, "To tell you the truth, Yu Yuanzhi, if it is not Liang who wants to embarrass him, this is made by Liang's temperament, and he can't be convinced, how can I help him,"
"You, you!" Xu Shu was stunned, glanced at his friend in front of him, and said with a smile, "In this way, you keep your temperament and continue to test this person, but I don't accompany him, this person is benevolent and righteous, I should help him!" With that, he turned and left.
"Huh." Smiling slightly, Zhuge Liang indifferently looked at the back of his friend's departure, shook his head and smiled, turned around and walked into the grass house.
"A definite number. It is because it cannot be changed that it is called a fixed number! If you say "come back in three days" again, I should do it, alas, this mystery says that these things are useless in the world. Sometimes it's so strange, just because of a moment of hesitation, a great good thing will pass by you, if Liu Bei learns about it, I don't know how to regret it in my heart!
But it's okay. His two visits were not for nothing, at least one of them had been touched by his sincerity,
At the same time, Cao Cao's border pass, Wuguan!
After two battles with Ma Teng's Xiliang, Wuguan suffered heavy losses, and the grain and grass were destroyed, so the remaining Cao soldiers here had no desire to fight.
Then. Wu Guan guarded Pan Yang in the middle of the night and killed someone for unknown reasons. The corpse was abandoned on the top of the Guan Tower, and in this way, the Cao soldiers of Wuguan saw that the general trend had gone, and they scattered and fled.
When Ma Teng led the army on the second day and wanted to tackle the problem, he saw the door slowly open, and two people walked out of it. It was Ma Chao and Pang De, I saw the two of them clasping their fists and saying to Ma Teng from afar, "Qiqi Dashuai, we have atoned for our sins and taken down the martial arts!"
"Good boy!" Ma Teng couldn't cry or laugh, he glanced at the huge Wuguan intently, and said secretly in his heart, "Break Jiang Zhe first, and then punish Cao thief!" Cao Mengde, I'm Ma Shoucheng! ”
At the same time. Xudu West City Gate!
Sima Yi looked coldly at the carriages full of goods and hurriedly left the city and headed west, his eyes uncertain.
Lack of food on the front?
I'm afraid not,"
