Zhuge Jin was indeed sick, and he was not lightly ill, when Zhuge Liang arrived at Jianye, Zhuge Jin was still lingering on the sickbed.

After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan took over the affairs of Jiangdong and moved the administrative office of Jiangdong from Qu'a to Jianye. Under the recommendation of Lu Su, Zhuge Jin threw himself into Sun Quan's account. Zhuge Jin is erudite and talented, full of experience, Sun Quan led Jiangdong at the beginning, it is the time when he is thirsty for talent, he saw Zhuge Jin, he was overjoyed, worshiped for the long history, and later moved to Zhongsima.

Zhuge Jin has a gentle personality, a pure physique, admonishes but does not commit, is righteous but not resolute, Sun Quan is young and vigorous, although his temper is not as irritable as Sun Ce, but he often has a stubborn side, and often does not listen to direct advice. Zhuge Jin is good at grasping proportions, no matter how he talks or advises Sun Quan, he never speaks out in a hurry, but only slightly expresses his tendency, roughly expresses his intentions, and ends there. If there was a disagreement with Sun Quan, he would abandon the ongoing content and move on to other topics, and gradually start from scratch with other things, so as to gain Sun Quan's approval with his views on similar things, and win Sun Quan's heavy use.

The fierce battle was raging on the Guandu side, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were trying to win over the princes of all parties, and Yuan Shao sent messengers to Jiangdong, intending to marry Sun Quan and conspire with Cao Cao. Many of Jiangdong's staff saw that Yuan Shao was powerful, and they all built a good alliance between Sun Quan and Yuan Shao, Zhuge Jin had different opinions on this, and he said to Sun Quan: "Yuan Shao is scheming and decisive, and he is fierce and timid, and it will be difficult to achieve great things. ”

Sun Quan listened to Zhuge Jin's advice and rejected Yuan Shao's request for an alliance. Send people to Xudu to pay tribute. Cao Cao was busy with the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and when he got the message of Sun Quan's friendship, he was overjoyed, so he named Sun Quan as the Marquis of Wu, and comprehended Ji Taishou to worship General Zhengdong. The positions of Marquis Wu and Huiji Taishou were originally owned by Sun Ce, and Sun Quan inherited Sun Ce's foundation and naturally took over these officials, but he was not officially appointed by the court. Sun Ce once worshiped the rebellious general, this title is just a miscellaneous general, this time Cao Cao named Sun Quan as the general of Zhengdong, which is a real famous general. The position of the general of the four expeditions is only below the general hussar, the front and rear of the general, the left and right generals. It is a grade higher than Liu Ze's General Zhendong, which really made Sun Quan happy for a while, and he favored Zhuge Jin even more.

Zhuge Jin was sick more abruptly this time, which may have something to do with overwork. However, he was diagnosed and treated by Huatuo's disciples. It's no big deal. His condition has improved, but he will have to recuperate for some time before he can recover.

Zhuge Liang rushed to Zhuge Jin's mansion and went directly to the bedroom. Seeing that Zhuge Jin was fine, he felt a little relieved and said: "My brother is sick, but I can worry about my brother, but fortunately, my brother is safe, and I am at ease." ”

Zhuge Jin said slightly apologetically: "I'm fine, but I'm so tired that my second brother came all the way from Jingzhou, I'm really sorry." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Brother is talking from there, brother is sick, brother should visit, why bother?" ”

Zhuge Jin asked, "How is the situation in Jingzhou?" "The battle in Jingzhou is in full swing, and Zhuge Jin and his two younger brothers are in Jingzhou, so they are quite concerned about the war in Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang's expression was a little more solemn, and he said: "After Liu Ze successively captured Jiangxia, Zhangling, and Xinye, he forcibly crossed the Han River and forced the troops to the city of Xiangyang. Cai Mao knew that he was invincible, and he had already surrendered the city, and most of the nine counties in Hanshang had been obtained by Liu Ze. ”

Zhuge Jin frowned, and said: "I didn't expect that Liu Biaoxiong would be so defeated after being in Jingzhou for many years, Liu Zela withered and decayed, and it only took half a year to pacify Jingxiang, could it be that God helped him?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently and said: "The reason why Jingzhou was defeated quickly was not due to providence but manpower, Cai Mao was ill-intentioned, excluded dissidents, cronyism, harboring evil intentions, Jingzhou's defeat, defeat in its internal friction, Liu Pan's light soldiers risked and died, Huang Zu died without help, and the defeat of Wenpin Xinye was even more bizarre and weird. On the other hand, Liu Ze, the king of Jing, has strong soldiers and strong horses, unites as one, and fights with one heart, how can Jingzhou be undefeated? ”

Zhuge Jin sighed for a while and said, "Since the second brother has come to Jiangdong, do you have any plans to become a leader?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan in his hand lightly, and said: "A leaf flat boat, free rivers and lakes, my wish is also, red dust and mundane things, there are laypeople to take care of them, why bother me?" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "A younger brother is ten times better than a brother, even if it is Guan Zhong Leyi, Lu Shang and Zhang Liang, they can't be compared, why is there a suspicion of abandoning the world?" Fang is in turmoil today, heroes and heroes, there are countless people who cross states and counties, with the talent of the second brother, if you get the master, you will be able to achieve a thousand years of achievements. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "In my brother's opinion, who can be the master?" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "There are no more than three people in the world who can be called heroes. Xu Du Cao Cao, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, its momentum is huge, although the battle of Guandu is in full swing, but there will be victory and defeat within the year, Cao Cao unified the general trend of the north, no one can stop it; Liu Ze of Xuzhou, the emperor of the imperial family, the king of the pole, rose on the coast of the East China Sea, annexed Huainan, and swallowed Jingxiang, which is difficult for anyone to compete with. However, Cao Cao is suspicious and suspicious, arbitrary, good at recruiting talents but can not exhaust talents, and there are many wise and resourceful people under his hands like carp crossing the river, even if the second brother votes for his account, he may not be able to be reused, but such as Yang Dezu and Kong Wenju. Although Liu Ze, the king of Jing, has a lot of good names and talents, but its heavy cloth clothes and light scholars also make the world's famous people fearful like snakes and scorpions, in Xuzhou's various perverse and deviant actions are the heart of the corporal family of the great cold world, although my family is not a wealthy family, but also after the wang family, how can I work with those peddlers and pawns in the same hall, although Liu Ze is powerful at this time, but not the help of the world's corporal family, it is bound to decline in the future, if the second brother votes for this person, it is also very unwise. ”

Zhuge Liang Gujing said without waves: "The third person that my brother said must be Sun Zhongmou here?" ”

At the mention of Sun Quan, although Zhuge Jin was sick, he also came to his senses, and said with burning eyes: "Yes, although Wu Hou is young, he is wise and extraordinary. In the land of Jiangdong, the third generation of the Sun family camped, the country was in danger and the people were attached, Bo Fu died young, which made people sigh, and Zhongmou inherited the business of his father and brother, it was the time to show his great ambitions, and he was a hero, and he was thirsty for virtue. If the second brother intends to stay in Jiangdong, he should try his best to recommend him for his brother, and with the talent of the second brother, he will definitely have a place in Jiangdong. ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand, smiled, and was about to speak, but heard someone outside the door report: "Wu Hou has arrived!" ”

The two brothers just talked about Sun Quan, Sun Quan actually arrived, Zhuge Jin struggled to get up from the couch, and ordered his subordinates to give him wide clothes to prepare to welcome Wu Hou, but Sun Quan actually went straight to the inner room, and saw that Zhuge Jin was about to get up, so he hurriedly stepped forward and held him down, saying: "Ziyu is seriously ill, don't get up." Lone has long wanted to come to visit, these days have been busy with official business, flawless withdrawal, today I have to be free, I don't know how Ziyu's condition is? ”

Zhuge Jin had to salute on the couch and said: "Thank you for your concern, your subordinates are fine, you only need to rest for a few days. ”

Sun Quan laughed heartily and said: "Ziyu is a lonely minister, Ziyu is sick, and it is difficult to sleep and eat alone. Who is this? Sun Quan saw Zhuge Liang on the side of the couch early in the morning, eight feet long, with a face like a crown of jade, a feather fan scarf, and a calm demeanor, which made Sun Quan couldn't help but be amazed. Sun Quan sits in Jiangdong, Weihe side, mortals see it, they are not trembling, but the person in front of him is calm and contented, and the innate chic calmness is not something that ordinary people can learn.

Zhuge Jin introduced: "This is my brother Zhuge Liang, who heard that his subordinates were sick, and specially came from Xiangyang to visit. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and hugged the fan and saluted, and said, "The grass people have seen Wu Hou. ”

Before Sun Quan could speak, a person behind him exclaimed: "Gong is Zhuge Kong Minghu? Fulong and phoenix chicks, one of the two can settle the world, I can't imagine that I have to worship the true face of Wolong here today, and I am really fortunate to have three lives. ”

Zhuge Liang looked at the person who opened his mouth with a little surprise, but seeing that this person was burly, and his eyebrows were heroic, he had already guessed eight or nine points, and Zhuge Jin also introduced him in a timely manner: "This is Dongcheng Lu Zijing is also." ”

Zhuge Jin was able to enjoy a fortune in Jiangdong because of Lu Su's recommendation, so he respected Lu Su very much. Lu Su is now also a popular person in front of Sun Quan, serving as the left protector and general of Hengjiang, and his position in the army is second only to Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu, and he is deeply reused by Sun Quan.

At that moment, Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Liang Shanye is a vulgar person, only a shallow learner, how dare he deserve it, Brother Zijing praised it." ”

Sun Quan also heard Lu Su Fangcai's title, what is the dragon and phoenix chicks, one of the two can settle the world, such a big tone, Sun Quan was a little disapproving, but his curiosity still made him want to find out, and said: "What does Zijing Fangcai mean?" ”

Lu Su heard Sun Quan's inquiry, so he explained: "There is a hermit master in Jingzhou, whose name is Sima Hui, whose name is Decao, and his name is Mr. Shuijing. Mr. Shuijing once had clouds; 'Fu dragon and phoenix chicks, one of the two can settle the world. 'Feng Xiao is Xiangyang Pang Shiyuan, and his uncle Pang Degong is a famous person in Jingxiang. Fulong is Zhuge Kongming, and he can see Jun Yan here today, which is enough to comfort his life. ”

Sun Quan has also heard of Sima Hui's name, knowing that Sima Hui is a real hermit master, since Sima Hui admires Zhuge Liang so much, presumably Zhuge Liang must have something extraordinary, after Sun Quan led Jiangdong, recruiting talents is his first move, and he immediately wanted to recruit Zhuge Liang.
