Jingzhou, Nanyang County, a few miles west of Longzhong City, Longzhongshan.

Pushan Mountain is quiet, with cascading flowers and plants, and a stone path winds upwards in the shade of trees, leading from the foot of the mountain to a flat land halfway up the mountainside.

The flat land is about a few acres in a square circle, during which the bamboo forest is uneven, the stream is bubbling, and several simple thatched houses can be seen faintly and located at will.

This Longzhong Mountain is said to be just a hill no more than a hundred feet high, except for the quiet environment, there is no other peculiarity.

However, because the mountain is not shrouded in a faint fog all the time, and anyone who wants to wait for the top of the mountain has no way to enter, there are many bizarre rumors among the local people.

Later, there were even denser aliens who surrounded the place all day long, but after a period of time, it seemed that there was no gain, and they all continued to disperse.

At this moment, when the drizzle is misty, more than 100 figures are quietly stationed at the foot of the mountain under the shade of bamboo umbrellas;

It seems to be waiting for someone, and it seems to be just a lost passerby.

Droplets of rain slipped from the eaves of the umbrella and splashed onto the already muddy loess beneath their feet, oozing into dense pits.

The humid weather is like Liu Bei's mood at the moment, so gloomy and hesitant.

The continuous dripping of raindrops brought not only the passage of time, but also Liu Bei's expectations and patience.

This was the seventh time he had come, but the man seemed to have no idea about it, and he refused to open the mountain gate, let alone give any reply.

The powerful and incomparable Wuji army could move south at any time, and in Yuzhou, although there was a gathering of him, Cao Cao, and Ding Yuan, they did not even have a trace of confidence in the face of that powerful enemy.

Wind Wuji, heh, what a simple three words.

But just such a simple three words, now they are forcing him, forcing them to almost breathless.

In great panic, he went to ask Sima Hui, a famous scholar in Yingchuan, to ask for a clear way, but Sima Hui gave him more than 20 words and pointed out a person.

"Confucian scholars, how do you know current affairs? Those who know the times care about Junjie. Longzhong has its own Wolong. ”

Sima Hui's words undoubtedly had a huge impact on Liu Bei, which was equivalent to giving him a booster.

Because what he needs most at this time is someone who can be proficient in current affairs and help him turn the tide of the situation!

To be honest, at first, he was inevitably suspicious in his heart, but when he came here, he saw this mysterious but extremely simple maze that was like heaven and earth, and then heard those rumors of miraculous skills, but the information about the goal this time was greatly increased.

However, he did not expect that the man would pay no attention to his arrival.

Since the previous six times he had waited for less than half an hour each time, he guessed that the other party thought that he was not sincere enough, so this time he was ruthless.

By this time, it was already dark, and he had been standing here for more than three hours, but there was still no movement.

This undoubtedly made Liu Bei a little unbearable.

And just when Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of impatience, the fog that had lingered for a long time suddenly fluctuated, and then a seven or eight-year-old boy suddenly appeared on the stone path more than 20 steps in front of everyone.

The little boy wore two pigtails and was dressed as a neat scholar, looking very cute.

Just as the boy's lips opened slightly, and he was about to speak, a sudden sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from behind, startling the drizzle, and even more shocking the hearts of Liu Bei and the others.

Before long, a group of more than a dozen men in strong suits riding tall horses appeared at the foot of the mountain.

These people all had solemn faces, their eyes were cold and cold, and none of them were holding umbrellas, but they were in stark contrast to Liu Bei and his party.

"Please ask this boy to inform the master of your family that the Wuji King of the Wuji Dynasty has a handwritten letter to enshrine it!"

When Liu Bei and the others heard this, their faces suddenly changed greatly, and the choking sound made by the weapon being pulled out of its sheath was even more instantaneous.

The drizzle was still falling tightly, dripping on the sword's body, making an iron-blooded and cold sound.

Although Liu Bei never turned his head to look at those people, there was a deep fear and resentment in the depths of his eyes.

The wind is infinite, and you deceive people too much!

The little boy seemed to be caught off guard by this sudden scene, and after being stunned for a long time, his face showed hesitation.

However, after a few breaths, it seemed that he had received some instructions, but the little boy's face suddenly relaxed, and he said in a crisp voice:

"My master has invited Liu Taishou and this messenger from the Wuji Army to climb the mountain, and as for the other cadres, they will wait here."

Hearing that the person actually invited the people of the Wuji Army to enter, Liu Bei's heart couldn't help but sink, and a haze flashed in his eyes.

However, after all, he was not an ordinary person, so he quickly adjusted his mood, bowed down and said to the little boy with a pleasant face:

"Thank you for the invitation, the master of the Ru family, you have worked hard."

The little boy was very sensible, and hurriedly let Liu Bei's gift and grinned, obviously very happy with Liu Bei's actions.

And when he saw that the envoy of the Wuji Army, who had already dismounted but still had a straight face and did not make the slightest move, he couldn't help but wrinkle his nose and snort lightly, and then turned around and led the two of them towards the stone staircase.

Noticing this scene, the corners of Liu Bei's mouth couldn't help but hook up a faint smile......

Halfway up the mountain, in a thatched house facing south.

After seeing the ceremony, Liu Bei quietly looked at the number of people in the main seat, but there was a natural hint of strangeness in his eyes.

The man was dressed in loose plain clothes, his long hair stood up and draped neatly on his back, and a scarf was delicately tied on the top of his head.

He held a goose feather fan in his hand, and it continued to sway and fan, which seemed a little unusual in this rainy environment.

His figure is considered to be middle and upper-class, and his facial features are average, but a pair of eyes are extremely deep, and there seems to be a brilliant light constantly blooming, which is very unfathomable.

"I've heard a lot of rumors about Mr. I've heard about him, but I regret that I can't meet them.

Today I am finally fortunate to see the dignity of the sun, and I am very happy in my heart! ”

Secretly looked at Zhuge Liang quietly, but Liu Bei did not have the slightest rudeness on his face, and bowed slightly and hugged his fists very respectfully.

After that day, the wind Wuji in the city of Luoyang revealed the ugly things of his ancestors, but Liu Bei no longer dared to keep mentioning the words related to "after the king of Zhongshan Jing".

Because this matter has spread rapidly in the market, at this time, he Liu Bei has been ridiculed because of this matter, and has become a joke for countless people after dinner......

Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently, shook his head lightly and said:

"Lord Taishou is falsely praised, bright and graceful, but the darkness of the loess, how can he be worthy of such a reputation as Lord Taishou.

In fact, Lord Taishou visited six times before, and Liang knew all about it.

However, he was in the midst of deep self-cultivation, and he couldn't take time to meet with Lord Taishou, so he had to do it as a last resort, and he hoped that Lord Taishou would not be surprised. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly waved his hand and said with a cheerful smile:

"The person who Bei Pingsheng respects the most is the person who works hard and has sincere obsession, Mr. is so strict and self-exhorting, how dare Bei be dissatisfied?"

"That's fine."

Zhuge Liang smiled gently, and then suddenly sighed:

"Regarding the intention of Lord Taishou, Liang has already guessed a few points.

There were many changes in the dynasty, the people were in war, the abandoned corpses were almost higher than Mount Tai, and the displaced people did not know how many.

Such endless calamities are in the final analysis, but the Lord is not virtuous, and the ministers are not right.

Therefore, if you want to end this calamity, it is simple, but the world meets the lord and the virtuous minister.

Looking at the countless heroes of the dynasty, there are only a few people who have the potential to become the master of the Ming Dynasty.

Yu Liangguan came, it was Wuji Wang Feng Wuji, Cao Cao, General Cao, Sun Jian, Sun Taishou, and Liu Taishou.

Among them, the Wuji King Wind has the greatest potential. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei's expression couldn't help but change, and his hands under his sleeves clenched unconsciously.

However, Zhuge Liang's words later made Liu Bei's expression suddenly relaxed, and his eyes were even more joyful.

"However, Feng Wuji is a stranger born outside the sky after all, just like the duckweed without roots, even if it swims in the infinite sea, it still has no roots to root.

General Cao Cao's words, his temperament is unruly and suspicious, and he has the vice of being rigid and self-serving, and it is easy to dominate one side, but if you want to win the dynasty, it is difficult;

As for Sun Jian and Sun Taishou, his sex is heroic and free, and he attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and has clear grievances.

However, such a temperament can be a good general, but it can never be the master of the dynasty.

Although the emphasis on love and righteousness can be praised, in terms of the emperor, it is tantamount to a glass of poisonous wine.

As for you, Lord Taishou, first of all, you are from the orthodox Liu family, and it is easier for you to be supported and loved by the people;

Secondly, the reputation of Taishou's benevolence is widely spread, especially among the scholar community.

If the situation is favorable, Lord Taishou will inevitably receive the support and devotion of many people in the Shi clan.

In addition, Lord Taishou has a sincere and sincere temperament, is a humble and courteous corporal, and especially knows how to make good use of people.

If there are good materials on the side, Lord Taishou will definitely be able to turn the tide of the dynasty, save the people from the dire situation, and spread the grace on the vast land! ”

Zhuge Liang's words were loud, and the meaning revealed in his words and the expression on his face showed his meaning very clearly.

Liu Bei was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't expect that he didn't have to bother himself to speak, this Zhuge Liang showed the intention of serving under his command.

Such a situation really made Liu Bei overjoyed and happy.

Slanted his eyes and glanced at the messenger of the Wuji Army who had been sitting silently on the other side and had never made any sound, and the smug color in Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but be even stronger......
