Zhuge Liang proposed his diplomatic purpose to Chen Deng, and explained to Chen Deng the impact of his plans on Xuzhou and Jiangnan in the future.

Although Zhuge Liang was thoughtful, he was very young, and Chen Deng didn't take his advice seriously at first.

Even if he thinks Zhuge Liang is very talented, Chen Deng feels that with his own knowledge, the diplomatic goals and means that he can come up with will not be inferior to Zhuge Liang, right?

The fact is exactly as Chen Deng thought, when Zhuge Liang first proposed his ultimate diplomatic goal, Chen Deng almost had to scoff at it.

Where is this asking for benefits? This is clearly filling in their own benefits to the other party!

Zhuge Liang did not have any shame in the face of Chen Deng's disdain, but explained his strategic and political intentions for Chen Deng very calmly and patiently, and at the same time analyzed the relationship between Jiangnan and the north for Chen Deng after a few years.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, Chen Deng's expression gradually changed from disdain at the beginning to solidification.

Then, he began to seriously think about Zhuge Liang's words.

After all, Chen Deng is a smart person, with far-reaching wisdom, Zhuge Liang's opinion, after thinking about it for a while, he understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words.

After understanding the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words, Chen Dengfang suddenly felt that this young man was really not an ordinary person!

He didn't even think of what he thought of, and he seemed to have traces of being the prime minister of the dynasty in his actions.

Thinking of this, Chen Deng couldn't help but pay more attention to Zhuge Liang.

In fact, he knew that Liu Jian left Xuzhou that year and had a brief intersection with Zhuge Liang in Langya Kingdom.

Although this happened quickly, not too many people in Xuzhou knew about it, and even if they did, they wouldn't pay attention to it.

But Chen Deng noticed this detail, and he thought deeply, far away.

Liu Jian has not been in Xuzhou for a long time, and Chen Deng does not know him deeply, but he can feel that Liu Jian is an extraordinary person, and he is the first-class person in the world.

Such a character intersects with a child of the Zhuge family, there must be something in this!

And with Zhuge Liang's connection with Sanyuan, coupled with Chen Deng's previous inspection of the fields in Tan County, the intersection with Zhuge Liang, Chen Deng found that Zhuge Liang was not an ordinary person.

At this time, he was able to understand Liu Jian's intentions at that time.

It seems that Prime Minister Liu Cheng has high hopes for this young scholar of the Zhuge family.

Chen Deng knew that Liu Jian had a very powerful ability, that is, he was good at recognizing people.

Characters like Zhuge Liang. With his identity, it stands to reason that it was not Liu Jian's turn to visit when he was in Xuzhou, but Liu Jian just intersected with Zhuge Liang and the Zhuge family.

According to Chen Deng's keen feeling, he has already understood that Liu Jian must value Zhuge Liang very much, and Zhuge Liang is indeed worthy of attention.

And through today's conversation with Zhuge Liang, listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation of how to negotiate with Jiangdong, Chen Deng was even more sure in his heart, he was indeed not mistaken!

This Zhuge Liang is indeed a great talent, and he is a great talent who is deeply valued by Liu Jian!

At the beginning, Chen Deng admonished Liu Bei and recommended Zhuge Liang as the negotiation envoy with Gu Yong, but in fact, he wanted to use this incident to sell Zhuge Liang's personal favor and let himself establish a relationship with Zhuge Liang.

Now it seems that what he did was really right.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Chen Deng said with emotion: "Kong Ming, you are really a genius in the world. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and tell Liu Yuanjun about this matter, so that Liu Yuanjun can make up your mind."

"If Liu Envoy agrees, then follow your ideas to negotiate with the Jiangnan Envoy."

Zhuge Liang immediately said: "There is Lao Chenjun." ”

Chen Deng said with a smile: "What do you say that there are people who work and don't work, they both work for the country, why do they divide each other?" Kong Ming, although you are young, but I think you are really a pillar, if you have anything to do in Xuzhou in the future, come to me, Chen is willing to be a pair of close friends with you...... Let's work together for the Han Dynasty, for the Prime Minister, and for Liu Xuzhou. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, Shi Li said: "What kind of identity is Liang, how dare Lao Chen Jun treat him so kindly?" ”

Chen Deng laughed and said, "What is the temporary identity? With your abilities and talents, your identity will surely surpass me in the future! When the time comes, I want to climb you Kong Ming, but I'm afraid I won't be able to climb it. ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly replied: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

In fact, the more Zhuge Liang knew in his heart that Chen Deng admired him so much, it was only because Chen Deng probably guessed that he was originally quite used by Liu Jian.

Moreover, he will inevitably be in a high position the next day!

Therefore, Chen Deng decided to take advantage of this opportunity to make friends with Zhuge Liang, which can be regarded as opening a new road for him Chen Deng himself or the entire Chen family.

According to Chen Deng's estimate, the future situation of the Han Dynasty will no longer be dominated by local families, but will become dominated by the contacts between officials in the court.

Zhuge Liang is also a word in the Han Dynasty, and he is naturally not surprised by Chen Deng's thoughts, and he can also understand Chen Deng's thoughts.

Who lives in the world not for the sake of himself and for the sake of tomorrow?

Zhuge Liang didn't hate Chen Deng, because he could feel that Chen Deng was a wise and far-reaching person, and smart people were always willing to associate with smart people.

As long as what Chen Deng did did not violate Zhuge Liang's basic principles, he didn't care about having such a friend.

"If Chen Jun is willing to take Liang as his best friend, then Liang is willing to walk with Chen Jun as his companion."

When Chen Deng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh with his palms, he was very happy!

It was not in vain that he took such a hard time, and deliberately pushed Zhuge Liang to the position of the envoy to negotiate with Gu Yong.

"In this way, Kong Ming, you and I will be close friends in the future!"

……

After meeting with Zhuge Liang, Chen Deng immediately went to see Liu Bei.

He told Liu Bei what Zhuge Liang thought about how to negotiate with Jiangnan.

After Liu Bei heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Liu Bei didn't speak, Chen Deng couldn't help but be quite curious: "Liu Yuanjun, what are you thinking?" ”

Liu Bei said with emotion: "This Zhuge Liang's thoughts and what he did are quite similar to today's prime ministers. ”

Chen Deng didn't expect Liu Bei to have such a high evaluation of Zhuge Liang, and he thought that Liu Bei would not agree with Zhuge Liang's proposal.

Seeing Chen Deng's expression, Liu Bei couldn't help but smile.

"Why, does Yuan Long think that I can't understand the deep meaning of Kong Ming's words?"

Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, and then saw him hurriedly arch his hand at Liu Bei and said, "Don't make such a statement, how dare Deng underestimate the envoy?" ”

"It's just that what Zhuge Liang thinks is really beyond what ordinary people can think, but it is really surprising that Ling Jun can think of this."

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not that I have a lot of wit, but I have been following the prime minister for many years...... But I don't know if this Zhuge Liang is learning from today's prime minister. ”

"No matter who he learns, this time this messenger is up to him."

"I still need to write a letter to report this matter to the current prime minister."

……

Subsequently, Liu Bei ordered Zhuge Liang to become an envoy to negotiate with Gu Yong, and he wrote Zhuge Liang as a messenger and Zhuge Liang's words on the letter, and sent someone to Chang'an in the starry night to show Liu Jian.

At the same time, the war in various places continued to scorch.

The level of fighting between the southern army and the northern army became more and more intense.

In particular, the battle between Yuan Shao and Zhao Yun in Sizhou gradually showed an expanding situation.

And the confrontation between Sun Ce and Gongsun Zan on the border of Yan and Yuzhou has also become more and more intense.

It was at this time that Huang Zu's army secretly lurked in Hongnong, wanting to secretly pick up Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong.

In fact, Liu Wei had already secretly communicated with Yuan Shao, hoping to go to Jingzhou to claim the emperor.

In fact, with the wisdom of Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He, they would not have imagined that Yuan Shao would take them captive to Jingzhou, in fact, he wanted them to be puppets, but Liu Wei couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.

He wants to go to Jingzhou to be the emperor, and then borrow Yuan Shao's power to kill back to Chang'an, eradicate Liu Jian, and then pull his younger brother off the throne!

He wants them to know who is the true son of the Han Dynasty.

Even if it will be used by Yuan Shao, even if it is to be a puppet for Yuan Shao, Liu Wei will admit it.

Because he really couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.

Before Huang Zu came to Hongnong, he secretly contacted Liu Wei and worked out a plan to escape with him.

He made Liu Wei ready to break away from him at any time.

For Huang Zu's plan, Liu Wei is a hundred approvals.

He secretly summoned his cronies, asked them to pack their bags, prepare firewood, and as soon as Huang Zu's soldiers and horses arrived, he and Huang Zu marched towards Wancheng in the south.

It's just that what Liu Wei didn't expect was that just before he was about to leave, an uninvited guest came to his Hongnong Palace, and this person was Li Ru, who is now quite important under Liu Jian.

Li Ru took a guard and quietly controlled the Hongnong Palace, and he himself lived in the Hongnong Mansion under the protection of the guards.

Seeing that Li Rulai was living in his mansion and not leaving, Liu Wei and his mother He were angry.

Huang Zu's army is about to pick him up, and this bastard is actually relying here, isn't this a clear embarrassment for himself?

Liu Wei came to Li Ru's face violently, pointed at his nose and scolded.

"You are just a mere mere middle of the imperial court, and now that you have arrived at the mansion of the princes and kings, you dare to be so presumptuous, this mansion of the princes and kings is a place where you can live with such an identity!? Don't give the widow a roll yet! ”

Li Ru looked coldly at King Hongnong in front of him, with a little sneer on his face.

"The king's words are wrong! Although the king is a prince, he does not have the right to participate in politics, and Confucianism came to Hongnong to deal with important matters on the orders of the imperial court and stayed in the king's mansion. ”

"As a member of the Liu clan, the king should cooperate with Li Ru to do things for the court at this time, why did he forcibly drive me away? Is it true that the king of the court does not care about the will? ”

"Or is there something unsightly in the king's house, or does the king want to do something unseemly?"

Liu Wei's face was distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Do you know how to slander the princes and kings of the widows?"

"You said that you have the will of the court to settle in the widow's mansion, so what is the will of the court?"

Li Ru looked at Liu Wei very contemptuously and said:

"Isn't there the will of the imperial court? I don't have the will of the court on my side now, but there is another thing that is quite important, and that is the letter written by the prime minister to the king! ”

"I wonder if the king is interested in watching it?"

Just when the two were arguing, the He family had already come behind King Hongnong.

When he heard Li Ru say that he had Liu Jian's letter in his hand, he trembled.

He stretched out his hand and gently pulled Liu Wei's sleeve, signaling that it really couldn't work, so don't fight with Li Ru anymore.

But now Liu Wei is still the same dog temper.

Even if it was his mother's face, he didn't give it.

"What letters, show them to the widows."

Li Ru took out a silk silk from his sleeve with a smile, and then slowly handed it to Liu Wei.

Liu Wei decisively took the letter from him.

He didn't believe that Liu Jian could know about their plan so quickly!

He opened it, and his eyes widened.

Liu Jian's letter to Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, was very simple, and I saw that the words on the silk silk were only a few words.

"Stay as the king, go as a coward, and deserve to be punished."

"You...... You guys?! ”

Li Ru's face turned cold in an instant.

"King, there is nothing in this world that can be hidden from being the prime minister of the dynasty."

"The king wants to collude with Yuan Shao, go south to claim the emperor, and confront the imperial court, is this worthy of the first emperor and the ancestors?"

"King, as a descendant of the Liu family, what should you do without growing your head?"

"A stupid person like you who is narrow-minded and vainly trying to split the country, the Liu clan relatives pulled you down from the throne, and it is really right."

Liu Wei and He Shi were all red when they said this, especially He Shi was still trembling.

She rushed to Li Ru and said to him: "Li Langzhong, this matter is not what I want to do, it is really that Yuan Shao wrote a letter to bewitch my son, and at the same time threatened him!" In this matter, Li Langzhong must be transferred to the prime minister, and he will show his grievances for the king of Hongnong, don't let the prime minister wronged the king of Hongnong of my family. ”

Li Ru stroked his beard with two fingers.

"Is that true?"

"Seriously! Seriously! ”

Li Ru thought about it seriously, and then said.

"In that case, I'll give it to you...... can give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, if you do well, turn back to the prime minister, and Li can naturally speak out to help. ”

Before Liu Wei could reply, he heard He hurriedly say: "We are naturally willing to help, Li Langzhong has any orders, just say it!" My mother and son are both powerful relatives of the Han Dynasty, and if there is something in the court, we are naturally willing to help. ”

Li Ru smiled when he heard this, and said: "Actually, this matter is also very simple, since Yuan Shao intends to secretly take King Hongnong away, then Hongnong may as well cooperate with us, lure Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses over, and secretly join them again." ”

"We are arranging an ambush to annihilate Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, King Hongnong can be regarded as a meritorious contribution to the imperial court, and it will naturally be easy to say it when he turns back to the prime minister."

Before Liu Wei could speak, he saw He Shi nodding vigorously and accepted the matter.

Subsequently, He handed over the letters of Yuan Shao and Huang Zu secretly communicating with Liu Wei to Li Ru.

Including the agreed time, method, and escape route, Huang Zu has basically arranged it for Liu Wei.

Li Ru slowly received the letter into his sleeve and said, "I know, how to do it when I go back, your mother and son will listen to my arrangement." ”

Then, he left the Hongnong Mansion slowly.

In addition to the Hongnong Palace, Li Ru's relatives asked him: "Langzhong, Jia Gong asked Langzhong to come here, and explained in advance that the prime minister wanted to let Hongnong Wang accompany our army to lure Huang Zu into the urn?" Lang Zhong arranged it like this, isn't it a little ......?"

The next words of the relatives did not speak.

Li Ru said: "It's a bit arrogant, isn't it?" ”

"Yes!"

"You don't understand anything."

"The prime minister didn't say it, it doesn't mean that the prime minister didn't think about it."

"The Son of Heaven didn't say it, it doesn't mean that the Son of Heaven didn't think about it."

"Although this Hongnong King and the He family have been abolished, staying in this Hongnong will be a disaster sooner or later."

"But when today's son is newly enthroned, when the prime minister of the dynasty is based on benevolence and righteousness...... What can it be? ”

"But at this time, if King Hongnong was kidnapped by Yuan Shao, and then died in the chaos...... Does this responsibility fall on Yuan Shao? ”
