Chapter 129: Talents in both civil and military affairs
ps: The second watch is here, ask for votes!
Zhuge Jin reported his name, but before he finished speaking, he just reported the surname "Zhuge ", and almost shocked Yuan Mai to the ground.
"Are you Mr. Zhuge Kongming?" I couldn't help but blurt out a question.
If Sima Yi is an important person who can be ranked in the top five in this era, then Zhuge Liang's status is better than Sima's, in the face of such a talented person in the mining world, who is praised by later generations as the embodiment of wisdom, how can Yuan Mai not be excited?
Perhaps, all kinds of novels in later generations, and even "Romance", which is a classic that has been handed down to the world, have exaggerated Zhuge Liang's talent, and even reached the point of "making up his wisdom almost like a demon", but it is undeniable that Zhuge Liang is indeed an outstanding talent in this era, and it can even be said that he has supported Xishu for decades with his own strength.
Maybe some people are not satisfied with Zhuge 's military talent, maybe this is doubtful, but Zhuge Zhuge is indisputable in governing the country's political ability, what is more admirable is Zhuge Kongming's character, he did his best, died after himself, died before he left the school, and made the hero cry, how can it not be admirable!
Before the crossing, Yuan Mai admired the most figures of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Kongming was one of them, and at this moment, Zhuge Liang was standing in front of him, how could he not be excited? Imagine it, Zuo Zhuge and Right Sima, such a super invincible combination, it is strange not to sweep the world, imagine that the picturesque rivers and mountains are in your pocket, how can you not make people feel surging?
"Uh...... How did Childe know my second brother? Zhuge Jin looked surprised and asked puzzled.
His second brother Zhuge Liang is seventeen years old. Since five or six years ago, he and his third brother Zhuge followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan to Jingzhou as an official, and was appointed as Yuzhang Taishou by Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and later Sima Li Dao appointed Zhu Hao as Yuzhang Taishou in the name of the Son of Heaven. Zhuge Xuan had no choice but to lead the Zhuge brothers to Nanyang, north of Xiangyang, to live in seclusion and cultivate land.
The year before last, Zhuge Xuan died of illness, and the Zhuge Liang brothers continued to make a living from arable land in Nanyang, and made friends with Huang Chengyan, Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei, Xu Yuanzhi, Cui Zhouping, and local Confucian scholars, so they continued to live in Nanyang. I haven't heard that he has traveled around Hebei, how did Yuan Gongzi, who was born in a famous family, know the name of the second brother, a mountain villager?
Listening to Zhuge Jin's words, he finished completely. Yuan Mai figured out that it was he who had placed the oolong. This is not Zhuge Liang. It was his elder brother Zhuge Jin, who was immediately disappointed. Although Zhuge Jin is also an outstanding talent, he is not a high-grade character with Zhuge Liang.
Fortunately, after half a year of tempering, Yuan Mai already has a lot of city. Although I was disappointed in my heart. But on the surface, it doesn't show it. Otherwise. It will definitely make Zhuge Jin embarrassed, and he will feel uncomfortable.
"Uh...... It turned out to be Zhuge Ziyu, fortunately! "Now that I've said all the words of the second child. Yuan Mai simply brought up the boss's words.
Zhuge Jin was even more surprised, he was also an unknown person, how did this Yuan Gongzi know his words?
"Please forgive the grass people for being ashamed, Jin has been studying in the grass hall, cultivating in the fields, and has never met Gongzi. I wonder how Childe knew the names of my two brothers? ”
Yuan Mai had already thought of the answer and coped: "My father is familiar with Uncle Ling's Zhuge Xuan, and I have heard him mention that there are two virtuous nephews in the family, both of whom are smart and sensitive, one is called Zhuge Jin, the other is called Ziyu, the other is Zhuge Liang, and the word is Kongming. Therefore, I kept it in mind when I bought it, and I think there are probably not many people with the surname Zhuge in Langya, so I blurted out a guess, and I didn't want to hit it crookedly. ”
Zhuge Jin is a real person, thinking that his uncle and Yuan Shao are both officials, and it is possible to know each other, so he was convinced of Yuan Mai's words at the moment, and bent down and said: "I am really afraid to bother Yuan Jizhou to mention my brother's name!" ”
After a short conversation, Yuan Mai's mood had quickly calmed down. Although the scholar in front of him is not Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin is also a good talent, especially in diplomacy, and his talent in diplomacy is even more outstanding, and he can be called an excellent diplomat during the Three Kingdoms period. When there is a shortage of people under his hands, it is also a big gain to be able to win over such a person!
People are not satisfied, and they have to look forward to Shu? Vested Zhuge Jin still hopes for Zhuge Liang?
Besides, after accepting Zhuge Jin, there is a connection with Zhuge Liang, maybe one day he can use Zhuge Jin to fool that brother over and form a super combination with Sima Yi. Although Yuan Mai also understands that with Zhuge Liang's calmness and wisdom, such hope is minimal, but as long as Zhuge Jin is there, there is hope!
In addition, after receiving Zhuge Jin, there is another benefit, if according to the natural development of history in the future, Zhuge Liang really becomes Liu Bei's military teacher, he can use their brotherly relationship to join forces with Liu Bei to fight against the powerful Cao Cao Group, which is also a good way out.
"Mr. Ziyu is talented, why be polite, I don't know where I want to go?" After a short period of weighing, Yuan Mai had already made up his mind and was ready to take Zhuge Jin under his command.
There are also a lot of characters under his hands, including Tian Feng of the military division, Wang Shuang of the fierce general, Hao Zhao of the defensive type, Zhang Liao of the commander type, Tian Chou of the political type, Xu Sheng of the general type, and Zhou Cang of the bodyguard type, but there is a lack of diplomatic talents, and the appearance of Zhuge Jin just makes up for this defect, which is really timely!
listened to Yuan Mai's questioning. Zhuge Jin explained: "The war in the north is endless, and the cheap people are anxious, for fear that Langya will not be at peace. Some time ago, I was invited by a friend in Jiangdong to go to Jiangdong to avoid chaos and give birth to an heir by the way. ”
Yuan Mai finally understood, this Zhuge Jin originally planned to go to Jiangdong to give birth, and Qingzhou did not engage in family planning, what do you say you are doing in a foreign land? Fortunately, he came to Langya, otherwise, this Zhuge Ziyu would have been received by the Sun family. Moreover, in the future, Zhuge Jin's son can also be regarded as a figure, and he can just cultivate his second-generation power.
Although Jiangdong is temporarily stable, but from Langya to Suwu is not peaceful, the front of the Xiapi war is raging, Cao Jun and Lu Bu Army fought fiercely for more than half a year, the Cao army is killed every time, vowing to slaughter Xuzhou, revenge for Cao's father. Moreover, there are many rogues on both sides of the Yangtze River, killing people and setting fires, and it is not easy to reach Jiangdong safely. ”
Yuan Mai looked at Zhuge Jin with a smile, analyzed the difficulties for him first, and added oil and vinegar to his words, so that Zhuge Jin understood that this would be a difficult journey. Then he changed the conversation and said: "Under the governance of my father, Jizhou has been peaceful in recent years. Mr. Ziyu doesn't have to go to Jiangdong, follow me to Hanoi, there are a lot of errands, suitable for Mr. Ziyu, and he can make great progress. ”
Zhuge Jin hesitated a little when he heard this: "Thank you Gongzi for your love, Ran Jin is just a scholar, I'm afraid I will be entrusted by Gongzi." ”
Yuan Mai took Zhuge Jin's hand and said with a smile: "Ziyu doesn't have to be modest, your knowledge, my father has already learned from Uncle Ling." Besides, my father and Lord Zhuge Xuan are close friends, if you let him know that you are going to Jiangdong, but I don't keep it, I will inevitably be scolded, so Ziyu must buy a few thin noodles. ”
Zhuge Jin pondered, since his uncle and Yuan Shao were friends, and they were also his own family, so he didn't have to risk going to Jiangdong. It's just that I don't know that this is Yuan Mai's words, Yuan Ben's first eyes are above the top, and he doesn't know his uncle at all.
"Yes, Mr. Ziyu, since you and I are destined. We are fellow villagers in the same county, you can stay too, we will assist Yuan Gongzi together and build a great cause! Xu Sheng also enthusiastically retained Zhuge Jin, and he could have a fellow countryman to work hard together, and he would have a good time to take care of him on the way.
In the past, there was Yuan Gongzi's warm invitation, and then Xu Sheng, the life-saving and benevolent man, enthusiastically retained, Zhuge Jin no longer shirked, and said: "Since Gongzi loves him, Jin is better to obey his fate than to be respectful, and he is willing to obey the dispatch!" ”
"Haha...... Well, it is really a pleasure to get the help of the two of you on the same day, and I will definitely drink it when I turn around! ”
Yuan Mai was very happy, although he didn't meet Zhuge Liang, but he got a piece of literature and martial arts all of a sudden, which was also a great joy. And these two guys hit the door by themselves, and they didn't bother at all, and they can be called "it takes no effort to get it", good things come in pairs, and they should be white!
I met Zhuge Jin's wife Liu again, and after a few words of greeting, Yuan Mai selected ten soldiers and ordered them to send Zhuge Jin and his party back to Kaiyang, Langyazhi, so that they could be entertained, and when they repelled the Cao army, they would enter the city to entertain them.
As soon as Zhuge Jin and his wife were sent away, the scout flew to report: "Report, General Qiyu, General Liyi's men and horses are only six or seven miles away from here, and the cavalry of the Cao army behind is chasing very quickly, and it is only fifteen or sixteen miles away from here!" ”
Yuan Mai nodded, and ordered: "Quickly go and inform General Koji, just say that I have ambushed troops on both sides of the valley, ask him to urge the whole army to move quickly, and when the Cao army chases, the ambush troops on both sides are exhausted, and General Koji will wave his troops to counterattack, and he will definitely win a big victory!" ”
"No!" The scout got the order, turned over his horse, and went to inform Koji again.
Yuan Mai pointed to the opposite side of the valley and said to Xu Sheng: "There are more than a thousand ambush soldiers on the opposite side, and I will hand it over to you to command." Today is the time for you to make meritorious contributions! ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took refuge in Yuan Jun, he ushered in the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Xu Sheng was excited, and said: "Thank you Gongzi for your love, Sheng will definitely kill the enemy with all his strength, and swear to die in retribution!" With that, he took the command and went to the opposite valley to command.
When Koji Yi heard that there were reinforcements in front of him, he was overjoyed and urged his men and horses to advance at full speed, and then join the ambush troops to launch a counterattack against Cao's army after crossing the valley. At the moment, Lu Yi led the way, and Zhang Liao led the camp to retreat as quickly as possible.
Yuan Jun had been running for two nights and one day in a row, and he had only taken a few short breaks on the road, and he was already sleepy. Kankan walked to the valley, and the cavalry of the Cao army behind had already caught up. (To be continued......)
