Chapter 13 Zhang Liang went to the appointment to get the letter of war

Zhang Liang returned home and never forgot to go to the appointment. On the evening of the fourth day, he sat quietly at the window, and saw the shadows of the trees outside the window, so he pushed open the window, only to see that the moon was bright and the stars were faint this night, and he couldn't help but think of his hometown, and recalled many sad things in the past year, and the figure of Shi Lizi naturally appeared in front of him: they met in Qu County to Bolang and said goodbye, who knew that this parting would be the end of the past, and now the moon is sad, leaving infinite pain and emotion. Zhang Liang thought of this, and two lines burst into tears. He remembered again the mysterious old man who had asked him out, and although he had met twice, he had made the old man angry because of his tardiness. Who is this old man? What's the matter with him? It would be pointless for him to ask me to talk about trivial matters. But if you think about it, how come? Surely he wasn't an ordinary person? He must have something important for me to do. I can't sleep for a long night, when will it be dawn? At this moment, the courtyard door suddenly "knocked" a few times. When Zhang Liang heard the voice, he was shocked, so he quickly wiped his tears and prepared to come out and open the door.

But at this time, someone had already opened the courtyard door, and the guest who came turned out to be Zhu Jian. Zhang Liangxi said: "Brother Xian came to visit late at night, there must be something, right?" Zhu Jian replied: "Because I miss my brother, I prepared some wine and food tonight, and I came here to talk about it." Zhang Liang welcomed him into the house. At this time, Shi's wife's family, Hua Wuwu, Feng Qi and others also walked in. Zhu Jian met with everyone one by one, and then instructed the guests to put the wine and food on the table. Everyone toasted to his wife first. The master drank two cups and said, "Ladies and nephews, the old body can't drink anymore, your brothers have a good gathering, and I won't accompany you." After saying that, the daughter-in-law helped her into the house. Zhang Liang talked and drank with everyone.

Everyone laughed and drank for a while. Hua Wuwu asked Zhang Liang: "Why is the eldest brother's lamp always on?" Zhang Liang said: "I have a matter that I can't figure out, so I can't sleep." Zhu Jian asked what was the matter. Zhang Liang said: "We are all together tonight, and I will tell you." So he went out for a walk, met the old man by chance, and made an appointment to meet again, and said that he would go to the appointment early tomorrow. Everyone felt strange when they heard Zhang Liang's words. Zhang Liang said again: "It just so happens that Brother Zhu Jian is here, let's drink for a while, and then I will go to the appointment, this time I must rush to the front of the old man's house." Hua Wuwu said disapprerovingly: "The eldest brother is a family feud with national disasters, why do you want to date an old man?" Zhang Liang said firmly: "The old man has asked me twice, but I haven't missed the appointment, how can I not go?" Zhu Jian asked, "What can he do?" Zhang Liang said, "I don't know." But I observed that the old man had a strange appearance and good speech, and he was by no means an idle person! Hua harmless joked: "Not necessarily, did he see that his brother was handsome and cool, and asked you to be his son-in-law?" Zhang Liang said solemnly: "My country's revenge has not been avenged, how can we worry about this?" If it was really for the sake of my children, I would definitely not agree! Feng Qi, an old family member, interjected: "Since he is an old man, he will not have bad intentions, so let's go to the appointment as he said." If he wants to harm his son, he will do it the first two times, so why wait until now? Hua Wuwu said in a hurry: "Big brother really wants to go, let me protect you!" Feng Qi said: "If he really has something to say, it will be inconvenient for you to go." Hua Wuwu muttered: "I'm only protecting my brother in secret, what's inconvenient?" "At this time, everyone was scrambling to go. Zhu Jian said: "I'll just go with my harmless brother, it's not good if there are too many people." ”

Zhang Liang listened to everyone's words and felt that it made sense, so he agreed to accompany the two of them. In the middle of the night, the three of them set off. When they left the courtyard gate, they walked straight to the bridge, which was Zhang Liang's third appointment. When the three of them were about to reach the bridge, Zhang Liang told Zhu Jian and Hua to stay away and not to frighten the old man, and walked on the bridge alone after the order. Zhang Liang came to the bridge, looked around, and sure enough, found that there was no one on the bridge, thinking that this time the old man would not go in front of him anyway, so he waited patiently on the bridge.

After an hour had passed, the old man did not appear. Hua Wuwu said to Zhu Jian: "The weather is too cold, why does the eldest brother have to wait for an old man, let's persuade him to go back, right?" Zhu Jian said: "No, since we have been waiting for such a long time, we should wait a little longer, don't you shout?" After another hour, Hua Wuwu saw that no one was coming, and he was furious in his heart, and said: "It's so cold and freezing, what's the point of the eldest brother waiting for that old immortal?" I think the old guy must have tricked the eldest brother into coming here to get frozen, but he slept at home, and the old guy wouldn't come, and if he did, I would have to punch him! Zhu Jian couldn't laugh or cry, and dissuaded: "If you ruin the good things of your eldest brother, I won't be done with you." "After another half an hour, the belly of the fish has appeared in the east. Hua Wuwu stomped his feet and said, "That old immortal brother flashed here all night. Hum! My eldest brother is a dead eye, and he may be frozen at this time, so I'll go over and go home and sleep with that honest pimple on my back! Zhu Jian hurriedly grabbed Hua Harmless and said, "I've been waiting for most of the night, what defense do you have if you hold on for a while?" If you're afraid of the cold, go back first, and let me accompany my brother! Hua Wuwu said angrily: "I am helping the eldest brother in Bolangsha to do big things, and I am not even afraid of death, are I still afraid of the cold?" Zhu Jian hurriedly covered Hua's harmless mouth and reproached: "You don't want to die, dare to talk nonsense again!" While the two were arguing, they suddenly heard someone laughing in the distance: "It's too late!" I'm late! Hua Wuwu said angrily: "This old thing is finally here!" As he spoke, he grabbed Zhu Jian's shoulder and looked down.

Zhang Liang waited on the bridge for most of the night, and his whole body was indeed frozen and numb, but thanks to drinking in advance, he could barely hold on. When it was almost dawn, the old man finally came, he laughed a few times, and walked quickly to the opposite bridge. Zhang Liang judged from the laughter that he was the old man who had gone to the first two appointments, and he was pleasantly surprised, so he hurried over. Zhang Liang came to the old man, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "The younger generation is late twice, and I feel very guilty in my heart, this time I can get lucky to walk in front of you, it's really a blessing!" I don't know what the old gentleman has to say? The old man smiled: "This performance is not bad, young people should be like this." Think about it: I have never met you, but as soon as we met, I boldly agreed with you about things, and there must be a reason for this. I have a few words to tell you now, and I hope you will keep it in mind and encourage you to make a difference in the future. Zhang Liang said respectfully: "Please give advice to the old gentleman, and I will listen to the younger generation." Only then did the old man say: "Anyone who does great things must go through a thousand difficulties and dangers, so he must have perseverance and perseverance!" If the heart is arrogant and the person is about to collapse at the first touch, it is the courage of the horseman, the reckless generation, and it is unbearable to conspire with it. Fighting power can determine the success or failure of a moment, but it cannot determine the performance of a hundred generations; Fighting wits can not only reap the momentary achievements, but also achieve the honor of eternity. Therefore, only the wise can endure, and only those who can endure can be regarded as wise and courageous. Therefore, heroes from ancient times must have a strategic mind and a good strategy, as the so-called strategy is in the middle of the strategy, and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. Such talents are real heroes! The old man's words, the son must keep it in mind, and he will not be bored in the future. When Zhang Liang heard this, he was shocked in his heart, so he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for your teaching!" As he spoke, the old man took out something from his arms, and said to Zhang Liang: "I have three military books here, and the son must study them carefully, and he will definitely be able to be the king's teacher in the future!" Ten years from now, things will change; There will be kings rising in abundance and abundance. At that time, the prince will choose a wise monarch to assist in the way of heaven, so that he can make contributions and benefit the people, and you will go down in history! But remember: retire after success, retire after success! Remember, remember! Zhang Liang hurriedly took the military book, then knelt down again to thank him, and then said in surprise: "The words of the teacher, I have engraved it in my heart, but I don't know where you always live?" What do juniors call you? Where are you going to visit your husband in the future? The old man stroked his beard with his hand, and then said meaningfully: "Qingshan is my home everywhere!" If the son has a heart, when he comes to Jibei in thirteen years, he will see a piece of Huangshi under Gucheng Mountain, and that is me! After saying that, he laughed heartily a few times, and then turned to leave. After a few steps, he continued to sing:

The old realm is about to be unpaid, and the bones are packed up to fill the ditch. I don't see the prince of Jiang back then, and the prince of Weibin straight hook fishing.

Makino fought Zhou Dingxing, and his achievements covered the world for thousands of years. Who talks about Qi Huan's management of Yiwu, Ming Jun uses virtue to start in prison.

The princes of Jiuhe are upright, and the adults and tigers have become romantic. Qin Mu, Jin and Wenxi successively dominated, and the wind and clouds would make trouble in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The king's business has been in ruins for a long time, and the rule of the sages has been suspended. Only the great task of entrusting the children to reorganize the world and comfort me.

When Zhang Liang finished listening to the song, the old man had already walked away, and he let out a long breath, but his heart was excited, and he only felt that the task given to him by the mysterious old man was too great, too glorious, and too arduous. But wasn't this the task he had dreamed of for years? When Zhang Liang thought of this, a burst of joy welled up in his heart.

"Big brother, what did the old guy give you?" Hua Wuwu asked and walked over with Zhu Jian. Zhang Liang hurriedly took the book and showed it to the two. Hua Wuwu saw that it was a three-volume book, and said in frustration: "After waiting for most of the night, I only got a few broken books, it seems that he is an old nerd!" Zhang Liang said seriously and seriously: "You can't talk nonsense, this book must be very precious, not an ordinary scripture." Hua was so cold that he shivered, and he didn't care to read, so he urged everyone to go back quickly.

After the three returned home, Zhang Liang took out the book and read it carefully, which turned out to be "The Art of War". Hua Wuwu yawned and said disapprerovingly: "What is the grand-in-law, I'll go to sleep first." After Hua Wuwu left, Zhu Jian also went to sleep. However, Zhang Liang was overjoyed, he saw that this book was divided into three volumes, the first, the middle and the second, and it was indeed a very precious military book at that time. Zhang Liang thought that Taigong was Jiang Ziya, the teacher of King Wen of Zhou, and he had never seen such a heirloom of soldiers. Now that this mysterious old man has taught it to me, there must be some mystery hidden in it? The old man who gave the book must have been a well-read military book and a wealthy hermit, and he must have foreseen the success or failure of the future. However, because of his old age, he could no longer carry out his lofty ambition of governing the country and leveling the world, so he taught me this book and asked me to complete the grand cause of reorganizing the world and mending the world. This is indeed what you can hear from the songs he sings. When Zhang Liang thought of this, he rubbed his eyes with his hands, and then held the upper volume and began to read......

Zhang Liang has not been able to release the volume since then, and after a long time, his mind has been opened. At dusk, he involuntarily strolled to the bridge, expecting the mysterious old man to reappear. But for years to come, the mysterious old man never appeared again. And this bridge has become a sacred place in his heart, and it has also become the starting point for him to be angry and determined to make a difference. Whenever Zhang Liang thinks of the matter of 'teaching books on the bridge', the blood in his whole body will boil. This great sense of mission drove Zhang Liang to never dare to be lazy, slack, cowering and decadent in the years to come. He secretly made up his mind to meet the more serious challenges in the future with all his energy and dedication. There is a single poem "The Bridge" praises:

The bridge meets and praises the high wind, and the heroes are not over.

Yi Zhu Shang Tang Jiang Zhu Wu, Qianqiu's career is successful.
