Chapter 74: Three Divisions of the World
Zhuge Liang's solution was to ask his master Sima Hui for help.
Sima Hui can be regarded as a wide range of apprentices, but among his disciples, the one he admires the most is Zhuge Liang.
If his beloved disciple wants to become a leader, of course he has to help.
Sima Hui immediately created momentum for Zhuge Liang and publicized it everywhere.
He gave Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu a nickname for each of them. They are Wolong, Phoenix Chick, and Qiaohu.
At the same time, he commented: "Wolong and phoenix, if you get one of the two, you can settle the world." β
Look, what an awesome evaluation. If you get one, you can settle the world, but take a closer look at Sima Hui's nickname ranking.
Zhuge Liang is Wolong, Pang Tong is Feng Xiao, and Xu Shu is Qiaohu.
Dragons, phoenixes, tigers, who is more awesome, can't you see it at a glance.
Of course, Sima Hui couldn't praise Zhuge Liang too much, and then said another sentence.
The son is filial and upright, if one person dies, the Han family will be difficult to prosper!
Zichu refers to Liu Ba. Filial piety refers to the righteousness of the law.
Since Zhuge Liang chose Liu Bei, of course Sima Hui also had to recommend a few more talents for Liu Bei.
Anyway, the was blown through the sky, and Zhuge Liang's name was unrivaled for a while.
After Zhuge Liang threw out his fame, he immediately went to Nanyang to plough.
Why do you want to go to Nanyang, because it's close to Xinye.
It's only a few dozen miles between the two, and if you have a horse, you can go back and forth in a day.
Isn't this obvious that Liu Bei can find him quickly and smoothly.
Sure enough, when Liu Bei heard the news, he immediately went to visit Xian.
Because of Xu Shu Zhuyu in front of him, he deeply realized the benefits of strategists.
Now that Xu Shu is gone, of course Liu Bei has to look for a military advisor again.
However, Liu Bei braved the heavy snow and finally found Zhuge Liang's residence. But the servant told Mr. Wolong that he was not there, and asked him to come back tomorrow.
At this moment, Zhang Fei's temper immediately came.
On such a big snowy day, people are not going to liar ghosts. Look at him and find out what kind of dragon is lying there!
However, Liu Bei immediately pressed Zhang Fei.
Obviously, Mr. Wolong wants to see his sincerity.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei immediately went back respectfully.
The next day, Liu Bei came again in the wind and snow.
I'm sorry, but Mr. Wolong hasn't returned yet.
My temper tantrum!
Fortunately, with Liu Bei here, Zhang Fei's temper can't get up.
Day 3.
The so-called things are only three, and Zhuge Liang also knows this truth very well.
So this time, Zhuge Liang met Liu Bei.
This sight is simply earth-shattering.
Liu Bei complained bitterly to the sky, hated the earth!
He has the heart to help the world, but he has the power to do so!
In short, tears are a whooshing stream.
It's just earth-moving.
And after some courtesy and a corporal, after exchanging heartfelt complaints, Zhuge Liang finally joined Liu Bei Group.
Now that I've joined, I have to show my lord some skills.
Soon, the famous "Longzhong Pair" in history was born.
And after Liu Bei listened, he couldn't help but murmur: "Three points of the world, three points of the world!" Can you really get one of them? β
Zhuge Liang smiled: "If there is light, it will naturally succeed." There is a strategy, but it takes years to plan. The lord's top priority is to encircle the Jingzhou scholars in order to seize Jingzhou in the future. β
"This!" Liu Bei sighed in embarrassment: "Bei and Brother Jingsheng are the same sect, how can Bei take away his inheritance!" β
Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, and persuaded on his face: "In order to restore the Han family and save all the people, the lord must not be kind to women." Abandoning small righteousness and taking care of great righteousness is the real great benevolence! β
Saying this, Liu Bei also got down the stairs, and hurriedly said: "Yes, in the face of righteousness, small righteousness can be abandoned." If Bei can really obtain the land of Jingzhou, he will treat Brother Jingsheng's family well! β
"The Lord is good!" Zhuge Liang slapped a sycophant.
Liu Bei was happy. After the joy, he couldn't help but sink his heart: "Sir, according to what you said before." Bashu is blocked by mountain roads, and Jiangdong has the Yangtze River. There is also a natural danger of the Yellow River in the north, why not the four parts of the world? β
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Although the Yellow River is dangerously completed, the terrain in the north is flat, not as vertical and horizontal as the Jiangdong waterway, and a Yellow River cannot stop the army." Therefore, in the end, there can only be one candidate for kingship. β
"According to Mr. Cao, or Lu Bu?"
"This!" Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment: "Originally, Liang thought that the north was none other than Cao Cao. But Lu Bu came back from the dead, and in the past two years, it has developed rapidly. If there are no other accidents, the north is afraid that Lu Bu will eventually dominate. β
"Lu Bu!" Liu Bei muttered.
Zhuge Liang nodded: "Lu Bu was indeed beyond Liang's expectations, this person has changed greatly before and after, as if he is not the same person at all." Nowadays, all kinds of actions have made Xuzhou develop rapidly. Although Cao Cao is a hero, I am afraid that he will not be his opponent in the end. β
How can Liu Bei not be surprised, because he also knows Lu Bu quite well.
"Could it be that it is really God-granted!" Liu Bei thought of the rumors and couldn't help muttering.
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Don't disturb, my lord, Lu Bu is a grassroots, this is just a means for him to raise his own value." Lu Bu brings together skilled craftsmen from all over the world and vigorously develops industry and commerce, so that he has today's achievements. This is the wisdom of the whole country, not the power of Lu Bu alone. Lu Bu just put all his exploits on his head! β
Liu Bei nodded, only in this way can it be explained.
And in order to gain the fame of the people, Lu Bu naturally said that everything was invented by him.
Zhuge Liang continued: "Although Lu Bu is strong, the lord doesn't need to worry. Liang dared to guarantee that Lu Bu would take over the remaining five states, and it would be a mess. Cao Cao couldn't easily give Lu Bu benefits. Within a few years, it was difficult for LΓΌ Bu to go on an expedition. Moreover, Liangzhou is only half of the original Yongzhou territory, and Ma Tenghan will definitely not let go of power easily. Although the terrain in the north is flat, its territory has expanded several times. Xuzhou is thousands of miles away from Liangzhou, and it is very difficult to transport all kinds of materials. Even if it is to recover Liangzhou, I am afraid that it will cost Lu Bu several years of work. β
Liu Bei nodded again and again.
Zhuge Liang paused: "Lu Bu does not collect taxes from the people, and to develop these realms, he also needs to invest a lot of money and materials. Moreover, these territories are vast and sparsely populated, and it is difficult for Lu Bu's troops to completely defend them. After a few years, the people in all parts of the country were rich, and the lord could find another opportunity to go north, so that he could gain financial resources. β
Liu Bei's eyes lit up instantly, this is like raising a pig, when Lu Bu is fat, fat, and fat, he will come to harvest again, it is simply refreshing.
"Hahahaha!" Liu Bei couldn't help but be happy: "The prepared Kong Ming, like the fish has water!" β
"The lord carries love!" Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and saluted.
Liu Bei looked at Maolu three times, and finally got Zhuge Liang to assist.
At this time, Lu Bu routinely held a weekly court meeting.
At this time, it was a cold winter, and Lu Buyagen didn't want to get up.
How happy it is to be in the bed and the princesses to talk to me.
But there is no way, the kings are not early, how can the officials govern with all their hearts.
"Meet the King!" The ministers bowed in unison.
Lu Bu only asked to bow down, and there was no need to kneel.
"All the ministers are flat!"
After the ministers were flattened, the Yellow Gate on the side routinely said: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" β
Although it is a yellow gate, it is not a eunuch, just a guard.
After the international practice, Pang Tong made a list and said: "Enlighten the king, with the contract between the king and Cao Cao, and soon the four prefectures of Si, Yan, Henan, and Liang will all be under the rule of the king." In this way, the king has thousands of miles of territory. But the king only had 150,000 soldiers and horses, and it was difficult to defend the cities of these states. The minister suggested that 200,000 troops should be conscripted immediately after the beginning of spring to cope with future wars. β
