The "Yanling Order" in Zhuge Liang's mouth refers to the first guest recruited by Shixun - Wu Zhen and Wu Jizhong. At the beginning of the third year of Jian'an (197), it was Xun Zhen who returned from Fuguanzhong, and the subordinate officials were rewarded and promoted, and Wu Zhen was appointed as the commander of Yanling County, compared with three years, and the term of office expired, so he returned to Xudu and waited for evaluation and redistribution.

After arriving in Xudu, he went to the mansion of the deceased lord to meet according to the etiquette. At this time, it was Xun's disciples who stayed in Xudu, including Sun Zi, who were all hired after guarding Hedong, and Wu Zhen didn't recognize any of them, but fortunately, many of them were domestic servants, especially the housekeeper Yuhe, who was still very familiar with him. He invited him in, entertained him with hot soup, and told him at the same time, unfortunately, my lord has gone out of the town of Shuozhou.

Wu Zhen said that I know about this - just kidding, such an important personnel transfer, as the order of Jinnai, how can he not hear of the truth? But the courtesy must come to the door—"The lady can be in the house, and she should bow to each other." ”

He said that it was even more unfortunate that Madame had led her son-in-law to Shuozhou to meet with my lord not long ago, or—you should go outside the city to meet Madame Guan.

Wu Zhen said that Mrs. Guan is a concubine after all, I can't see her, besides, the woman from a small family (he is embarrassed to say the remnants of the yellow scarf), I have nothing to say when I see her. But—"I expected that Gong would soon return to Xu Duye. We come and wait every day. ”

When he heard this, he was puzzled, and said that I mainly return to Xudu? How did you guess if you didn't get the letter? Wu Zhen smiled and said nothing, and turned to other things - since Zheng Xuan was hanged, it was Xun who was the heir of Zheng Men, so he should naturally hurry back to pay tribute, this is common sense. After all, he is just a subordinate. The vision is too shallow.

For three days. Wu Qiandu visited the mansion at the beginning of the year. On this day, he was gossiping with Yu in the concierge - and Hoon didn't come back anyway. I didn't have to go back to the palace to enter the room-I saw the door open, and a young man came in, and when he saw the fish, he looked shallowly, and then turned to Wu Zhen to ask questions.

Wu Zhen saw that although this person was young, he was burly and extraordinary, so he immediately stood up and arched his hand: "Yan Ling ordered Wu Qianye." Your Excellency Unknown...... the other party hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Zhuge Liang, Mr. Cong is in Shuozhou today." ”

Wu Zhen frowned slightly, rolled his eyes, and suddenly remembered: "Could it be the son of the former Xiangyang School Palace?" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Mr. Liang first met him, he is in the Jingzhou School Palace, and his name is desecrated." ”

At that time, Shi Xun was invited by Liu Biao to go to Jingzhou School Palace to fight in the ring, and when he came out, he met the young Zhuge Liang, and Wu Zhen naturally had no chance to participate in this matter. But after Hoon came back. He has mentioned this Zhuge Liang to Wu Zhen many times, saying that although he is young. It will become a big thing in another day, and Wu Jizhong is a little jealous when he says it, so he keeps the word "Zhuge Liang" in his heart.

Seeing Kong Ming with his own eyes today, Wu Zhen asked: "Is it that the prince has not returned to Duye?" Zhuge Liang replied: "Liang was ordered to go to Beijing on a business trip, and on the way, he heard the bad news of Mr. Kangcheng, and Mr. Liang had a few days before he could rush back to pay tribute." Wu Zhen nodded: "Wait for the quality." So the two parted.

When Wu Zhen sat down again, he asked him, when did Zhuge Liang follow him? Yu said that before he conquered Yecheng last year - I said that I had just met him, this time he returned to Beijing on a business trip and brought a letter from my lord, so he knew that this person was like this - "Qingzhou is different from other places, such a size, you and I can compare." ”

Zhuge Liang was eight feet long, that is, about one meter eighty-five in later generations, and he was quite conspicuous at that time. In comparison, Wu Zhen is only one meter six, and the fish may be less than one meter six, so he has to look up at Zhuge Liang - so he has this to say. Wu Zhen laughed, saying that the people of Qingzhou are not all tall people, and their ancestral home is also in Qingzhou, but they are only seven feet three inches (one meter seven), and his brothers are not tall. The two of them were chatting with themselves, and when they talked, they led the conversation to Zhuge Liang, and he said that this young man was Zhuge Jin's brother, and the lord had already accepted him as a disciple, and he was very important to him. Wu Zhen heard what he said, thoughtful.

So on the evening of the same day, Wu Zhen suddenly came to the mansion to meet him again, and asked to see Zhuge Liang by name. Zhuge Liang personally greeted him at the door and led him into the side room where he temporarily lived, and after the two sat down, Wu Zhen asked straight to the point: "Kong Ming returned to Beijing this time, I don't know what official business he has?" Done? Why don't you go west to welcome the public? ”

Zhuge Liang said that I didn't have a big deal this time, just to hand over a copy to the court for Mr., and the matter had already been done, but it was estimated that Mr. would come back in a few days, so he stayed for the time being. Wu Zhen pondered for a while, and suddenly asked him: "Shuozhou matter, is it quite difficult to get it?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "It may be difficult for others, but it is easy for Mr. Yu." He also inquired from Yu He's mouth, this Wu County Commander turned out to be the teacher's former official, so he might as well open up some words, and immediately describe the deployment of Xun in Shuozhou. At the end, he said: "Zhu Fen, Wei and other attached music, so Liang brought it into the capital this time and presented it to the imperial court." ”

Wu Jizhong frowned while listening, Zhuge Liang was originally very excited, but seeing that the other party's face was not normal, he couldn't help asking: "Ji Chong seems to be worried?" Wu Zhen smiled bitterly: "I don't have to worry about it, but I'm afraid it's a public worry - what Kong Ming Shicai said, I am in the capital today, and I have also heard about it......"

There are no confidentiality regulations in these years, and there is no need to keep any secrets for the information attached to the Xianbei Ministry. Wu Zhen has been running all the mornings in the past few days, and asked if his assessment results have come out, will he be allowed to stay in office, or will he be promoted? He believes that with his political achievements and the backing of Yesun, it is unlikely that he will fall. There are still many officials who run to Shangshutai for the same or different reasons as him, and the big guys get together to chat, and such a big thing is naturally mentioned.

So Wu Zhen said to Zhuge Liang: "It is the public to accept the five departments of Xianbei, which is a great achievement, but I don't know why I have to accept Hu as a son?" There is a discussion in Taichung......"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was a little surprised, and asked, "What's the discussion?" Wu Zhen smiled bitterly: "The reputation thinks that the plan to raise Hu is also, and the destroyer is better than Chen Feng in the Dai and Lu Fang in the cool ......."

Chen Feng was the acting minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and Lu Fang was the cavalry captain in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, and the two had one thing in common, that is, they both led the Xiongnu into the customs and wanted to win the world. When Zhuge Liang heard this, his face immediately changed, and he flicked his sleeves: "Such an ignorant argument, it is even worse to ignore him!" Wu Zhen shook his head and said: "The argument is not about knowing or not, but about whether the superior believes it or not." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly approached Zhuge Liang and said in a low voice: "I recently heard that Cheng Dengzhou has asked to return to the court, why is the prince drowning in other states?" In ancient times, it was able to come out and general, and enter and be like a public, for its ability to also, for a long time? ! ”

Wu Zhen said that my new appointment has come down, and it has been transferred to the county order of Runan County, and it is impossible to wait for a long time in the capital to be a duke, so ah, I will tell Kong Ming these words, and you can help me convey it to the duke, please don't ignore him. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if you pre-emptive, if you don't pre-emptive, you will be wasted, and the higher you deal with it, the more vigilant you must be.

That night, Zhuge Liang couldn't sleep all night, thinking back and forth, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that what Wu Jizhong said was reasonable. So he got up early the next morning, left a letter for Shixun, and then crossed his horse out of the city, stopping by to meet him—he felt that the sooner he heard these words, the better.

Sure enough, when Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but change his complexion, and immediately put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and muttered silently. The "Cheng Dengzhou" mentioned in Wu Qian's words is the Dengzhou assassin Shi Cheng Yu, almost following the appointment of the front and back feet of Shixun, it has only been a few months, there is no special situation, and he suddenly asked for it to be returned - what does Cheng Zhongde mean by this?

Wu Zhen said: "Those who can come out and enter in the past can live for a long time? In his memory, there are really not many such characters who are both civil and military, probably Jiang Taigong. However, Jiang Shang is very high in folklore, in fact, it was Zhou Gongdan who was in charge of Zhou at that time, and there were also Zhao Gongxi, Bi Gonggao, etc., a vote of the clan, and he couldn't talk about the prime minister; Moreover, there were Wuwang Dumengjin and Zhan Muye in the past, and Zhou Gong's Eastern Expedition in the back, and he was not the commander. The real general into the phase, this rule is handed down from the Qin Dynasty, Bai Qi, Meng Tian is good at fighting, and has the merit of entering the phase, so he is Fan Ju and Li Si, and his head is different; Zhou Bo's father and son can be compared but not phased, but they also have high merit to follow the phase, Bo met Emperor Wen was spared, and Yafu met Emperor Jing...... Die of hunger strike!

The fate of the meritorious earthquake lord is very clear, and he is often vigilant about himself, but he feels that he is not a meritorious and powerful earthquake lord - who can shock Cao Cao? But after thinking about it again, Wu Zhen's concerns are not without reason, the real Cao Wei is capable of both civil and military skills in history, and he is a strategist and a figure out of the town, and he counts with his fingers, and it seems that he is only one Cheng Yu. Zhu Cao and Xia Hou are either pure military generals, or they also have the ability to calm the place, but the speaking power of the Cao family is actually not strong; Xun's uncles and nephews, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others planned in the middle, and since they returned, they have never led an army and raised a county. Literature is literature, martial arts is martial arts, the central is the center, the local is the local, can do both, both have made achievements...... Who is Shecheng Zhongde?

Cheng Yu really didn't have much success in Dengzhou, and the noise was much smaller than that of his own Shuozhou, but before that, he had been guarding the northern part of Yanzhou for a long time as the general of Dongzhong Lang to prevent the Yuan family. Now he suddenly asked himself to return to Beijing...... Did this guy smell something bad? Do you want to follow it yourself?

No, no, Cheng Yu is serious and can go into battle, where can he compare? Besides, his own family is a relative of Cao Cao, and Cheng Yu is not as good as him. The situation is different and cannot be generalized...... Then you have to think again, what other examples can be used to draw analogies to inspire yourself. In the Cao Cao era, there were both civil and military long, both internal and external, and it seemed that only Cheng Yu was left, and after Cao Cao's death......

Thinking of this, Shixun couldn't help but be shocked, and blurted out-

"Si, Ma, Yi!" (To be continued......)
