However, it is said that after Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying got married, Wolongzhuang added a lot of joy.

Huang Yueying's virtue and virtue are good, ingenious, with Zhuge Liang to cultivate Longmu, housework, but also invented and manufactured flour grinding machinery, renovated and improved the ploughing rake, donkey grinding, cattle ploughing the field, the local people have followed.

When Zhuge Liang is free, he or drives a boat to swim in the rivers and lakes, or visits monks on the mountains, or looks for friends in seclusion, or surveys the people's feelings between the villages, or plays the piano and chess in the caves, often with Huang Yueying, speculates and analyzes the general trend of the world, deduces and predicts the offensive and defensive strategies, and discusses the predetermined governance strategy.

When I returned from a leisurely trip this day, I was talking with Huang Yueying about what I had seen and heard in the thatched house, and I saw the boy come to report: "Xu Yuanzhi came to visit on horseback alone." ”

Zhuge Liang came out of the chaimen to greet him: "Recently, Yuan directly assisted Liu Bei, how can you be idle here?" ”

Xu Shu said: "I was in Liu Jingzhou, and when I saw that he was good and could not be used, and evil and could not go, he had a false name, so he left his suicide note." At night, I went to Shuijingzhuang to find out the Lord. The teacher said, "The hero is in front of him", so he told Liu Bei to take refuge in the village, and taught me to go to Xinye to recommend myself, deeply respected by Liu Bei, knowing that he met Ming Gong, and wanted to do his best to assist, but the old mother was imprisoned by Cao Cao, and the book came to summon, so I had to give up. In order to repay the grace of the encounter, he recommended Brother Kong Ming to Liu Bei before leaving, hoping to show the great talent of his life to assist, Liu Bei was very lucky, and my heart was safe. Liu Bei Sixian was thirsty, and he would come to visit him on the same day, but he was afraid that he would not go out of the mountain, so he came to inform him and hoped not to shirk. ”

Zhuge Liang heard the words and said: "This is treating me as a sacrificial and slaughtered livestock!" ”

With that, he walked in.

Xu Shu retreated in shame, got on the horse and ran to Xuchang.

Zhuge Liang returned to the thatched house, Huang Yueying saw him with an angry face, and hurriedly handed him the feather fan on the couch and let him sit on the couch.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and his expression gradually settled: "Yuan Zhi went and went, but he also recommended me to Liu Bei, I am afraid that there will be no peace!"

Huang Yueying said: "I once heard my father say that Cao Cao talked about the heroes of the world, only he and Liu Bei. Mr. Shui Jing also met Liu Bei and asked Xu Shu to recommend himself to assist. Xu Shu also thought that he had to meet the Ming Lord, thinking that this Liu Bei must be able to assist the Ming Lord. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Beizhi is supporting the Han family and maintaining the Liu family's world, and he is moving against the trend. Although Liu Bei was called a hero by Cao Cao, there was no place for heroes. Although he has the heart to restore the Han Dynasty, he has no power to return to heaven. When Cao Mengde was in favor of the sky, he relied on people's opinions, relied on people's schemes, eliminated violence and pacified the people, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, pacified the north, and occupied the eight states of Sili, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Yanzhou. ”

Huang Yueying said: "Since Dong Zhuo, the war in the north has been endless, and Jingzhou has to be safe. Although his uncle led Jingzhou, he tried to protect himself; Although it is a clan, it has no great ambitions; Although it is a cage talent, it cannot be used. Cao Cao's ambition is in the world, the north is established, if he waves his army to the south, Jingzhou is in danger! ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Biao has a false name, and he is by no means a master. Now that he is seriously ill, his good wife's uncle Cai Mao is in power, and he will conspire with his good wife's aunt, Mrs. Cai, to encourage Liu Biao to abolish the long and young, and Jingzhou will not attack and cause chaos. My teacher, Mr. Shuijing, knows people, teaches Yuan to assist Liu Bei, and replaces Liu Biao, so that he can resist strong enemies outside and prevent chaos internally. Who knew that Cao Cao was resourceful and decisive, and the design was straightforward and cut off the wings. Yuan Zhi pushed me out in order to repay the kindness of his acquaintance, so he was angry. ”

Huang Yueying said: "The husband also said that Liu Bei is the master of the world, and he just chooses the master to do things, Yuan Zhi recommends, he has to meet the master, why is there any anger?" ”

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "It's just not timely! ”

Huang Yueying said: "Heroes emerge in troubled times in the world, and rivers flow across to show their true colors. The husband's talent can be displayed when the Lord is in danger, and it is the right time! ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said after thinking: "It's okay." It is expected that Liu Bei is thirsty and will come to visit the thatched house in the near future. My good wife and I first went to my father-in-law for advice to see his sincerity. ”

After the two agreed, they instructed Zhuge Jun and the boy to deal with Liu Bei's visit, and then went to Chuyang with Huang Yueying to discuss with Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan was very happy to see his daughter and son-in-law coming, and when he heard that he decided to go out of the mountain to assist Liu Bei, he strongly agreed, stayed at home, taught what he had learned, discussed every day, studied and judged every day, and increased his knowledge.

Unconsciously that the New Year is coming again, Zhuge Liang wants to go, and he is afraid that it will be inconvenient for Huang Yueying to return to Wolongzhuang, so he asked to stay in Chuyang, and Huang Chengyan and his wife of course agreed.

Before leaving, Huang Chengyan also handed over to Zhuge Liang the topographic map of the 25 counties of Jingzhou, Liangzhou and Yizhou, which he had carefully drawn based on his years of travel, for time use.

Let's say that Liu Bei Sixian is thirsty, since he heard the name of Wolong in Shuijingzhuang, he was recommended by Xu Shu, and told him to live, so there is a section of "three visits to the thatched house".

The first time was against the scorching red sun, but he was rejected by the boy with "going out to travel, I don't know the return date".

The second time was braving the severe cold wind and snow, seeing a young man in the grass house hugging the stove and hugging his knees, warming himself, suspected to be Wolong, and the Q&A knew that it was Zhuge Jun, the brother of Wolong, and Zhuge Jun used "My brother is not here, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." When he came back the day, he went to return the gift" prevarication, so he had to write a message and resign.

Liu Bei didn't see Wolong in the thatched house, so he was unwilling, and when the New Year came, he took Guan Yu and Zhang Feisan to the thatched house, so he could see each other.

Liu Bei saw that Zhuge Liang was eight feet long, his face was like a crown of jade, he was wearing a scarf on his head, he was wearing a crane, and he was shaking a feather fan, and his spirit was extraordinary, so he hurriedly bowed and greeted: "The Han family is in decline, the traitors steal their lives, and the lord is covered with dust." Lonely and not virtuous, want to believe in righteousness in the world; And the wisdom is shallow, so it is rampant, as for today. However, the will is still unfinished, and the king will be settled?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Since Dong Zhuo, heroes have been combined, and there are countless people who cross states and counties. Compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is small and outnumbered. However, the man who can be restrained, and the weak is strong, not only the time, but also the people. Today, Cao has millions of people, and he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and this sincerity cannot compete with it. Sun Quan has Jiangdong, has been three generations, the country is dangerous and the people are attached, and the meritocracy is used for it, which can be used for aid but not for the sake of it. Jingzhou is in the north according to the Han Dynasty and the South China Sea, connecting Wuhui in the east, Tongba and Shu in the west, this country of military force, and its lord can not defend it. Yizhou is dangerous, fertile for thousands of miles, the land of abundance, and Gaozu became an emperor because of it. Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is in the north, the people are rich and the country is rich but does not know how to save it, and the wise man thinks of Mingjun. Both the emperor's family, Xinyi is written in the four seas, the heroes are generalized, the sages are thirsty, if there are Jing and Yi, protect its rock resistance, the west and Zhurong, the south Fu Yi Yue, the outside of Sun Quan, the internal cultivation of political affairs; If there is a change in the world, then he ordered the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and led the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. If this is the case, then the hegemony can be achieved, and the Han family can be prosperous. ”

Zhuge Liang said, ordered the boy to take out the map of the three states sent by Huang Chengyan and hang it in the middle hall, and pointed to the map and said to Liu Bei: "Cao Cao relied on the sky to occupy the eight states of the north Henan, Xu, Qing, Yan, Hebei, You, and including Si Li, Sun Quan occupied Yangzhou with geographical advantages, and stuck to Jiangdong, Liangzhou is now occupied by Ma Teng, only Jingzhou and Yizhou are still owned by the Liu clan. The general can occupy the people, first take Jingzhou as his home, that is, take Yizhou to lay the foundation, and then take Liangzhou to establish hegemony, occupy the southwest, and Cao Cao in the north, and Sun Quan in the south, and then the Central Plains can be mapped. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was ashamed of himself, and regretted that although he had the ambition to restore the Han family, he was like a headless fly, bumping into random things, fighting aimlessly all day long, always cautious, benevolent and humble everywhere, and in the end he only ended up with the east and the west, and the north and the south, and repeatedly like a lost dog, sending people under the fence. always thought that it was a bad fate, but it turned out to be a master who had no strategy. Now in Longzhong, I heard Zhuge Liang's countermeasures, such as seeing the sky through the fog, the mouth suddenly opened, and then bowed his hand to thank him: "Good! Although Mr. I don't want to live in a thatched house, he is so familiar with the general trend of the world. Mr. Jinwen's remarks seem to feel that he has wasted decades of hard work. It's just that Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Zhang in Yizhou are all relatives of the Han family, and I can't bear to take them. ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, smiled and said: "Those who want to achieve great things are full of 'benevolence, righteousness and morality', which is for others. Those who know the generals in the world are all called 'benevolent', and their effects have been shown. Now Liu Jingzhou is dying and will die soon; Liu Zhang is not the master of the business, and he will return to the general after a long time. If the general doesn't take it, it will fall into the hands of others, and it will be too late to regret it! ”

Liu Bei felt that Zhuge Liang had seen through his scheming, and immediately bowed to Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain to help.

Zhuge Liang said: "Jiule ploughing and hoeing, lazy to meet the world, forgive your fate." ”

Liu Bei said: "Could it be that Mr. Fei saw that Cao Cao was prosperous and wanted to help him?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao's subordinates are full of talents, and there is no shortage of people who are strategic, how can I be the only one who is missing?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Brother Ling is now Sun Quan's guest, does Mr. want to go to Jiangdong to work with Sun Quanhu with his brother?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Sun Quan occupies a favorable geographical position, he can only hold on, if there is no Jing and benefit from each other, how can he go further north, and it is useless for me to go." ”

Liu Bei said: "If Mr. refuses to go out of the mountain, the momentum of the full force will be empty talk." Mr. is full of economy, do you want to hold the world's wizards to grow old in the mountains and forests? I beg Mr. to think of the common people in the world, to pity Xuande and sincerity, to enlighten the foolish with his companions, and to teach in time, which is really a blessing! ”

Zhuge Liang said: "I'm afraid that what I say is contrary to the general's benevolence, and I may not be willing to obey it?" ”

Liu Bei said: "I will obey my words. As he spoke, he couldn't help but tear the sleeves of his robe, and the placket of his shirt was wet.

Zhuge Liang was touched by his sincerity, and he didn't want to bury what he had learned in his life, so he agreed to Liu Bei's request: "The general will not abandon each other, and he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed, so he ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to offer gold and silk gifts.

Zhuge Liang insisted on not accepting it.

Liu Bei said: "I know that this is not a gift to hire a great sage, but just a slight expression of Xuande's heart." ”

Zhuge Liang accepted it and instructed Zhuge Jun: "I am favored by Uncle Liu Huang's three cares, and I can't help but go out." I hope that my brother will plough here, and don't waste the fields. Given by the emperor's uncle, leave some for the family, and send the rest to your second sister-in-law's mother's house, let her wait patiently, and wait for the day I succeed, that is, when you return to seclusion. After that, bid farewell to Zhuge Jun and the boy, and went to Xinye with Liu Bei and the others.
