Chapter 492 - Life is an experience, death is a stay!
Why did Zhuge Ke save Dongwu?
He's just an emissary sent by Guan Lin?
This is the question that Cao Cao and Jia Xu are most concerned about, and it is also the question that Cheng Yu is answering.
Cheng Yu talked about...
"It is precisely because he Zhuge Ke is the envoy of Jingzhou and represents Guan Yu and Guan Lin, so if he signs an armistice agreement with Eastern Wu and Great Wei, and announces this 'armistice agreement' to the world, it is enough to convince the people of the world, and it is enough to end this war in advance... Ending Guan Yu's raid and ending the panicked and unfavorable situation, this... This will be Soochow's only chance. β
This...
As Cheng Yu blurted out, Cao Cao and Jia Xu looked at each other, Cao Cao's eyes flickered, but Jia Xu brushed his beard with intriguing relief.
Yes, Zhuge Ke is the messenger, so his words and deeds represent Jingzhou, Guan Yu, and Guan Lin.
Based on this, the armistice agreement he signed was equivalent to the one signed between Guan Yu and Guan Lin.
It is true that in this era of collapsed etiquette, the so-called "agreement" was often unilaterally torn up, for example, the Sun-Liu alliance was torn up and broken with the backstab of "Soochow".
But... Undoubtedly, under this alliance agreement.
Soochow's backstabbing, whether it is won or lost in the end, will make it drown in the whirlpool of public opinion, and will also leave the names of "despicable" and "rat generation" in future records.
So, such as the "alliance agreement", such as the "armistice agreement", can be unilaterally torn up at any time, but... Price... It's heavy.
Dongwu just saw this, so he used "Zhuge Jin" to play the family card to Zhuge Ke.
In fact, from the eager eyes of Cao Cao and Jia Xu, it can be seen that it is not only Eastern Wu who wants this "armistice agreement", whether it is Great Wei or Cao Cao... This "armistice agreement" is all in sight!
"Three-way strike?"
Cao Cao paced as he gently read these words, his steps became more and more rapid and heavy, and in the end, his tiger eyes were raised, as if looking at Cheng Yu with great hope.
"Then Zhuge Ke he... Did he say yes? β
"Nope!" Cheng Yu shook his head, but he was not discouraged, but said truthfully: "Such a resolution is very important, Zhuge Ke only said that you should think about it carefully, weigh it, and think about it..."
didn't wait for Cheng Yu to finish speaking.
Jia Xu interjected: "This matter is not easy to consider, and it is even more difficult to weigh..."
He shook his head gently, as if while figuring out Zhuge Ke's thoughts, he explained, "The left side is loyalty, and the right side is filial piety, which is like a fish and a bear's paw? Mencius said, "Whoever gives up the fish and takes the bear's paw?" But who exactly are the fish? Who is the bear's paw? That Zhuge Ke... But he's still a young man, can he tell the difference? Can you choose the right one? β
Jia Xu is an analysis, but also a reminder to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's words were even colder, he was still asking Cheng Yu: "In the past few days, has he thought about it clearly?" β
"Nope!" Cheng Yu could only answer frankly.
"Hehe..." Cao Cao laughed, it was a sneer, he waved his right hand, and said loudly: "Lone doesn't have so much time to figure out his thoughts!" β
"Someone came to spread the Jingzhou envoy Zhuge Ke, and he wants his attitude today!"
"Lonely today you need to know, what is a fish? What is a bear's paw? How do he Zhuge Ke choose! β

Xu Ducheng, the post house of Soochow officials.
Zhuge Jin wants to play the guqin, although his face is as narrow as a donkey, but he is a particular person, every time he plays the piano, he must first bring in half a copper basin of water, and then wash his hands three times, meditate for thirty breaths, before he can start playing.
It's the same this time.
And Zhuge Jin's piano sound seems to have always carried a magic power, which can make people who hear it quickly quiet down, immersed in the clear rhyme of Zhuge Jin's fingertips and guqin touch.
The aftermath lingers...
infected everyone in this post house, but also infected, outside the post house, Zhuge Ke, who had just turned the streets and alleys, was about to enter this post house.
Today's Zhuge Ke is already in... In the extreme struggle, it's been five whole days, and still... The problem?
Soochow wanted to blackmail Zhuge Ke into submission with the safety of his biological father "Zhuge Jin" and the whole family, and signed a two-year armistice agreement with Soochow and Cao Wei on behalf of Jingzhou.
If so, it will undoubtedly be...
He Zhuge Ke will become the target of Jingzhou's public, and will live up to Guan Lin's cultivation and weight.
If you don't, then... The love between him and Zhuge Jin for his biological father, can he ruthlessly give up and ruthlessly witness the destruction of his biological father's family?
Hitherto...
Zhuge Ke has never met his stepfather Zhuge Liang, perhaps because of this, the more difficult it is to give up his love for his biological father Zhuge Jin, the more he thinks... The heart is the most struggling, complicated.
Left? Or on the right?
Filial piety? Or do you obey righteousness?
Is it a traitor to Jingzhou who is spurned by the people of the Han Dynasty? is still an unfilial son whose heart is like steel.
For a few days, Zhuge Ke struggled.
Struggling... Struggling, he couldn't help but come here, to his father's post house.
He wanted to talk to his father alone, and to talk about his state of mind... Just like the father-son gossip when he was a child.
But he didn't knock on the door, and the piano sounded... As if with some special meaning, Zhuge Ke's steps suddenly stopped.
Just stood quietly outside the door of the post house.
Seems... The music played by his father reminded him of his father's earnest teaching to him again and again when he was a child.
That's a picture...
When he was nine years old, Zhuge Ke, who had read 100 books and never forgot it, boasted that he had some understanding of the "Four Books", "Five Classics", "Six Rites", "Seven Teachings" and "Eight Politics", so he discussed it with his father Zhuge Jin.
- "Yo Yo Deer Song, Herbivore Apple, I have a guest, drummer and sheng..."
This pair of father and son discussed loyalty and filial piety, from the "Deer Song" and "Four Animals" in "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya", to "The Emperor's Hua", and then to the sacrifice...
To the reason for the sacrifice...
Zhuge Ke was very curious about this, and it was also this time that he understood... Sacrifice is very learned.
family sacrifices to the memory and remembrance of ancestors;
The state sacrifice is to instill in the courtiers the awe and loyalty to the emperor and heaven and earth;
The sacrifice of the students is to express the nostalgia for the sages, the respect for the teacher, and the observance of the "way of heaven and earth"!
The teaching and exploration of the father and son made both of them amazed by each other's talents, but... In order not to make this son proud, Zhuge Jin threw a question to Zhuge Ke:
- "Why do people live?" β
Zhuge Ke immediately replied, it is to glorify the ancestors, to honor his parents, to serve the court, and to be an official for the people...
But Zhuge Jin shook his head and was not satisfied with these answers.
Zhuge Ke listened...
Zhuge Jin didn't answer, only said let him think carefully.
Later, for several days, Zhuge Ke was thinking about this question - people? Why live? Can... At only nine years old, he was unable to understand and explain such profound philosophical questions.
In the end, Zhuge Jin told him the answer, to be precise, it was not the answer, but his own perception.
- "Life is actually an accidental beginning, we always think that we are the expectations of our parents, the glory of the family, and the future of the country, but... We ignore ourselves... Or rather the ego! β
Oh, yes!
In such an era, the awakening of self-consciousness is diluted, and people will be born with heaven and earth, gods, kings, teachers... So that the "self" is ignored and diluted!
The Zhuge clan's family history is too majestic and too originative...
It is precisely because they have read too many books, accepted too many inheritances, and the discussions between Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang that their understanding of many issues is beyond this era.
For example, Zhuge Liang's advanced concept of governance and the vision of building an ideal peaceful and happy state.
For example, Zhuge Jin's consciousness of self-awakening and guidance to his son.
Zhuge Ke still can't forget his father Zhuge Jin's earnest teaching to him on this topic.
"Man comes into the world, there is birth and death, and the process goes from being meaningful to finally becoming meaningless because of the death of life. Death is a part of life, people should not only live a wonderful life, but also celebrate it for the world after death... Therefore, according to the understanding of the father, why should people live, eight words - life is experience, death is to leave a fragrance! β
The picture of his father's earnest words that day was deeply imprinted in Zhuge Ke's mind, especially the eight words he emphasized.
"Life is experience, death is flowing..."Zhuge Ke muttered.
It seems that just the sound of this piano, only the memories of this night, he suddenly realized and completely saw through the adversity he is in now.
Hehe... Actually, this is not an adversity!
It's just the disease-free moan in his heart!
Thinking about the life as an experience, death as a stream, thinking about the thing that transcends loyalty and filial piety, in an instant, Zhuge Ke seems to know how he should choose.
"Daddy..."
Under the moonlight, Zhuge Ke's back was stretched long and narrow under the reflection of the torches in front of the post house.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the second floor of the post house, the sound of the piano came from here, and Zhuge Ke's mood also began to change from here.
Finally, he took a step back, he bowed deeply towards the attic where the sound of the piano came from the second floor, Zhuge Ke said lightly: "Dad, you taught the child again... Life is an experience, death is a flow... Also, Dad... You bring back more memories of the child and you, and the child suddenly knows what to do..."
After that, Zhuge Ke saluted repeatedly, and then turned around handsomely, he got into his carriage step by step, accompanied by the neighing of a horse.
He was still worried when he came, but when he went, he was already determined.
And the look in his eyes... Resoluteness and firmness are evident everywhere.
β¦
The other side.
At the end of the piano sound, Zhuge Ke's playing speed suddenly accelerated.
What was originally a gentle piano song suddenly became agitated and sonorous, as if the water originally flowed comfortably in the river, but in the end, it inevitably flowed into the river and the sea.
And then... Together with the surging tides in the rivers and seas, they surged... It is also becoming more and more agitated and sonorous!
"Zhengβ"
With the last elongated and heavy tail note, Zhuge Jin's piano sound came to an abrupt end.
At this time, Wu Cangfang, who was standing in front of the door, opened his mouth, "Yuan Xun has just come." β
"I know..."Zhuge Jin stood up, his brows twitched slightly, as if expected, "He will come sooner or later, he is my biological son, his temperament, what he will do... I know best. β
"He didn't get in, he didn't even knock on it."
"It was the sound of my piano that prevented him from entering the door..."Zhuge Jin's voice was very low, "At this time, it's better not to see him... At this time, Yuan Xun and I should not be troubled by each other. β
"Ziyu..."Looking at Zhuge Jin's appearance, Wu Cang shook his head helplessly, "It is said that your son Lantian Meiyu, the donkey who adds words, and the genius of Tianzhong... But who would have thought that you would pass him away, but who would have thought... This son who has passed away is now... He is holding the lives of your Zhuge Ziyu family... The world is impermanent, it is really impermanent! β
"Heh..."Zhuge Jin laughed lightly, he slowly walked to the window, the street was quiet at night, only the sound of the piano, and the neighing of a horse interspersed with the sound of the piano.
In the piano song, while Zhuge Ke fell into memories, how could Zhuge Jin not fall into this memory?
Zhuge Ke recalled the picture of the topic of "self" when he was nine years old.
Zhuge Jin recalled that when his son was five years old... At that time, Zhuge Ke was in the midst of enlightenment, and his appearance of being extremely curious about everything in the world made him unforgettable for the rest of his life.
"Daddy? Is etiquette one of the six arts? β
"Etiquette is of course, but I must know that etiquette does not specifically refer to etiquette, but also includes auspicious etiquette, fierce etiquette, military etiquette, guest etiquette, and Jia etiquette... If I want to become a husband, only by mastering etiquette and etiquette can I be calm and moderate on various occasions! β
"That's... Father? What about fun? β
"Music is music, blowing, playing, playing, singing, giving... Compose the written words into a tune and sing them together, it can express the heart directly, and it can also secretly say that it will not make human life seem too dull and miserable, sometimes... Some words that can't be said, obscure words, can also be expressed lyrically and tactfully to the person who wants to express it. β
"That's... Father? Shoot? Is it just a pitcher? Manage... Is it just raising horses? β
"Haha, shooting is not a pitcher, the royal is not raising horses, shooting is archery, we must pay attention to stability, accuracy, and ruthlessness, and the royal is the technology of driving the carriage, and pay attention to balance... These are all essential life skills for scholars, but they are not the things you see as fun! β
"Two more... It's the book and... And... And... What's going on? β
"Books and numbers! The book is calligraphy, it is the second face of the person, the word is like the person, often the word can reflect the cultivation and identity of the writing... As for numbers, not only algorithms, but also the number of yin and yang, the number of stars, the number of legislation, etc., to put it simply... Number, can refer to a person's self-cultivation, the larger the number, the larger the capacity, only in the usual accumulation of enough 'number', in the event of a big event, in order to do the know..."
Zhuge Jin's enlightenment to Zhuge Ke is like a stroke patient being opened up to all the bloodlines... So that it is smooth and free.
Like a babbling baby, he has mastered the methods of speaking, pronouncing words, and pronouncing words.
Zhuge Jin also told Zhuge Ke, "If you don't listen to the sounds of birds and nature, you can't learn music well, you can't learn rhyme, you can't learn resignation, you can't do a good job of sprinkling and sweeping, and you can't learn etiquette if you don't deal with everyday things... These are mutually reinforcing. β
Recall here.
Zhuge Jin showed a faint smile.
He taught his son with all his might, and Zhuge Ke gave him back that under the genius of the sky, the most outstanding "carving"...
Thinking of this, a tear welled up on Zhuge Jin's cheeks.
- "Go, go... Teach you, Daddy has already taught you!'
- "Now you are no longer Lantian Puyu, no longer famous in Soochow because of 'adding words to get a donkey', now you are destined to surpass your biological father, maybe one day in the future... It will also surpass your stepfather Kong Ming's people! You are proud of your Father.'
I thought of this.
The tears in Zhuge Ke's eyes became more and more intense.
His head slowly lifted up, looking out into the sky, at the stars.
He was looking at the one that shone the most!
He took this crying and muttered open his mouth...
- "The Langya Zhuge clan, the family origin, Yuan Xun... It's time for your generation to carry it forward! β
β¦
β¦
This is the second time Zhuge Ke has come to the palace of King Wei.
Last time, he was here to fight the ministers, and vividly showed the image of a bold, knowledgeable, and sophistically Jingzhou envoy.
It is an exaggeration to say that it is an envoy of a great power, but there is no doubt that Zhuge Ke's performance has convinced everyone here, and made every Cao Wei's civil and military personnel realize that this young envoy is not easy to deal with, and if you want to humiliate him, then the final result must be - self-inflicted humiliation!
But this time... In the huge palace, Xu Chu was the only one, and he looked at the young man in front of him who he didn't like.
"Step... Trample! β
With Zhuge Ke's solid steps, he stepped into this palace.
Looking around left and right, he didn't find Cao Cao, Zhuge Ke asked suspiciously: "What about King Wei?" β
Xu Chu tried his best to suppress his dislike for Zhuge Ke, and reminded in a calm tone, "Follow me, King Wei has been waiting for you for a long timeββ"
While speaking, Xu Chu introduced Zhuge Ke into an apse, walked out of the main hall, countless torches illuminated the room like daylight, and a staircase like a leading to the "heavenly dome" appeared in front of Zhuge Ke.
"King Wei is on top, please-"
It was still Xu Chu's fierce voice.
Zhuge Ke took a deep breath, he took his left foot first, which also seemed to indicate that in such a choice between left and right, he decisively chose the latter!
β¦
Bodadai!
This ten-zhang high, covers an area of more than 50 acres of high platform with ghostly back terrain, standing on the high platform, overlooking the distance, the beautiful scenery of fertile fields within a radius of dozens of miles can be in full view.
This is the high platform built by Cao Cao when he adopted the suggestions of Zao Yi and Han Hao and carried out "Juntun" and "Mintun" in Xudu.
According to legend, since the construction of this "Wangtiantai", the military and civil tuns in various places have risen rapidly, and the wind and water have risen in only one year... It laid the most important food foundation for the sailing of Wei Wu's hegemony!
These days...
Every night, Cao Cao would stand on this high platform for some time, reminiscing about the past eventful years, and also looking forward to the future hegemony of the Great Wei, and now, he is looking at the night scene alone.
Xu Chu stepped up, and Zhuge Ke was still standing in the shadow by the door... Although Cao Cao had his back to him, it was obvious that his arrival shocked Cao Cao's whole spirit.
Xu Chu arched his hand: "King, people have brought it!" β
Cao Cao said: "Okay, Huhou go down!" β
Xu Chu glanced at Zhuge Ke uneasily, "Does the king want to be alone with him?" β
Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, "What does Huhou think? Is Lone old enough to be unable to lift a knife? A mere offspring who has not yet been weakly crowned is also Lone's opponent, will Lone be afraid of him? β
Xu Chu bowed his head embarrassedly, "The last general doesn't dare, the last general will stay at the fifty steps, and the prime minister can call me if he has something..."
As he spoke, Xu Chu slowly retreated.
Zhuge Ke stepped forward with a step that didn't know whether it should be heavy or brisk, he didn't salute Cao Cao, but asked directly: "King Wei is so Yaxing?" Summoning the envoy of Jingzhou... Choosing this place that can take in the fertile fields within a radius of dozens of miles, is this to show me the abundance of grain in Dawei? β
Standing by Cao Cao's side, Zhuge Ke's aura couldn't help but weaken a little, but his attitude was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and he showed his courage and insight as always.
Cao Cao walked into Zhuge Ke, and under countless torches, he pointed to the dark night, which was also under this high platform... The looming tens of thousands of acres of harvest ridges.
His words followed: "It's not like I've never experienced a desperate situation in my life, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road begged for Dong, chased Dong Zhuo alone, didn't want to encounter an ambush in Xingyang, almost the whole army was wiped out, looking at the eighteenth road princes to celebrate the banquet, Lone left a sentence of 'erection is not enough' and rushed to Danyang to recruit troops, but was betrayed by the recruits, and the results of several months were ruined... It was still Yuan Shao, who took Gu in when Gu was most desperate, handed over the East County at the intersection of Jizhou and Yanzhou to Gu, and let Gu defend him against the Black Mountain Army and the remnants of the Yellow Turban here..."
For some reason, Cao Cao would tell such a young man, a hostile envoy of Jingzhou, about his "glorious" past and the difficult story of "setting sail".
Zhuge Ke was also surprised...
But the more Cao Cao said, the more moved he became, "Later, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai was killed in the battle with the remnants of the Yellow Turban, Lone's Taixue classmate Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, Lone's good brother Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin invited Lone to enter Yanzhou, Lone was overjoyed, and led the army to arrive... Who would have thought that this is a desperate stall! β
"There are few soldiers and little food, the Montenegrin army often loots, and those Yellow Turban troops from Qingzhou are even more wanton smashing and looting... In addition, there is Yuan Shu in the south, Tao Qian in the east, and Yuan Shao in the north. Lone's mood is desperate, and Lone's experience is the same desperate situation as it is now! Even, that time was more desperate than now! β
Not...
Hearing this, Zhuge Ke finally understood, did Cao Cao want to tell about his desperate situation?
But what's the point? Why bother?
Wrong...
Suddenly, Zhuge Ke thought of something, and was about to think deeply in this direction...
Cao Cao's words had already been chanted again, "Yes, Lone has experienced a desperate situation more than once, and the one in Yanzhou is even more dangerous than now, but you see? Has it knocked down Lonely? The remnants of the Yellow Turban are fierce, but Lone still defeats them! β
"If it's just a defeat, then it's just that, haha, Lone can still abandon his previous suspicions with them and bring them under Lone's command, this is the earliest soldiers and horses of the Great Wei, and it is the Qingzhou soldiers who make the princes of the world fearful! There is no food in Yanzhou, when Lone conquered Xuzhou, the Qingzhou soldiers were forced to rob the grain, Lone did not stop it, but he never thought of causing a massacre in Xuzhou, the world said that it was Lone who ordered the slaughter of the city, Lone did not explain! Lonely is not afraid of people's words! β
"But Lone realized the importance of food, so Lone began to settle the field, there was no field, Lone redistributed, mining those borderless land, on one side is counting cattle and losing grain, on the other hand is the army tun, only two years later, Lone soldier is full of food, Lone is the Son of Heaven to order not to submit, repair and weave to store army baggage, since then, Lone is invincible, no opponent!"
"Look at Lone's opponents again, Tao Qian, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Ma Teng, Han Sui... Including your lord Liu Bei in Shu, which of them was not beaten by Lone, or exterminated by Lone, or forced to submit to Lone's deterrence... If there is no loneliness in the world, I don't know how many people are called emperors and how many people are kings? Therefore, the Son of Heaven is the king of Wei and the lord of Wei..."
"Hahahaha... The Han Dynasty has thirteen states in the world, and one person sits on Kyushu! Liu Bei has run all his life, and he has cried all his life, but Yizhou and Jingzhou are only two places, and Dongwu is only one Yangzhou. Loneliness is consumption, and they are exhausted, exhausted... Zhuge Messenger, what do you still think? Can the lonely and lonely Great Wei be defeated? β
That's right...
Cao Cao said that such a big pile was to tell Zhuge Ke.
Desperate... He's been there.
The former desperate situation did not defeat him, and the current desperate situation cannot defeat him.
Maybe he will fall into the disadvantage for a short time, but in the long run, he Cao Cao will definitely turn the situation around again and turn the tables against the wind, which he has done countless times in the past twenty years, which is the reason why Cao Wei is invincible!
It's just that...
Zhuge Ke didn't mean to cater to Cao Cao at all, he just sneered and said.
"Just half a month ago, in the thirteen states in the world, King Wei occupied one and a half states of Kyushu, this is not... I haven't seen it for half a month, and only Kyushu is left... Maybe soon, this Xu will be gone, and Runan and Nanyang will be lost again... Eh, Yuzhou and Sili will be gone, and how many states will King Wei have left? Can there still be such impassioned and proud words as they are now? β
This...
Zhuge Ke's words were like poisonous needles, stabbing Cao Cao's weakness sentence after sentence, making his heart ache again and again.
"Lonely..."
Cao Cao wanted to loudly refute Zhuge Ke, but due to the current situation, he still suppressed this mood.
He changed his words, "Five days ago, the Zhuge envoy met with the Dongwu envoy, that is, your father Zhuge Jin, right?" β
"King Wei is wrong, what I saw is my uncle Zhuge , and now I have passed on to Zhuge Kongming, the general of the military division in Shuzhong, and Zhuge Ziyu is my uncle, not father and son! King Wei said carefully! β
Zhuge Ke's words seemed to show his attitude.
Cao Cao didn't care, "So, will you watch your biological father's entire family of dozens of people being wiped out by Sun Quan because of you?" The grace of nurturing is greater than heaven... Just flip it over so lightly, and only a slope of loess can you see in the distance? β
This...
Undoubtedly, Cao Cao's words made Zhuge Ke's heart throb a little, which is also where he has been struggling these days.
Zhuge Ke can grasp Cao Cao's weakness, and similarly, Cao Cao's heart attack technique can also spy on Zhuge Ke's weaknesses.
"These days, Zhuge Envoy must be quite difficult..."Cao Cao said while pacing, "'Filial piety and grandson have celebration, repay Jiefu, longevity is boundless', 'There is filial piety and virtue, in order to lead to wings.'" ''In the imperial examination, eternal filial piety'... Hehe, the Han Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, who can watch his biological father die because of himself? β
"Lone's father died in Xuzhou, and Lone Chongguan was angry, even if there was no food dispatch, even if the rear was unstable, he also insisted on sending troops to attack Xuzhou! Perhaps, Zhuge Envoy is different from Lone in many places, but there is only one thing, we are all filial sons! β
Cao Cao's words were to roast Zhuge Ke on the fire.
It can also be seen from Zhuge Ke's embarrassed expression that Cao Cao's knife-sharp words worked.
Pause...
With the pause in Cao Cao's words, the atmosphere in the entire room also dimmed.
Cao Cao seemed to be deliberately leaving Zhuge Ke a time to think, and he continued after thirty breaths.
Now you are the envoy of Jingzhou, and the armistice agreement you signed is like that signed by Guan Yu and Guan Lin, announcing to the world that the three parties will strike and recuperate, so that you can no longer be a courtier of Jingzhou, and then be the son of Zhuge Liang, but blood is thicker than water, you can be the son of Zhuge Ziyu again! Of course, you will be a sinner in Jingzhou, but you are the hero of my Great Wei and Eastern Wu..."
"If you are willing to return to Eastern Wu, presumably the king of Wu will not hesitate to reward, if you are worried about the cruelty of Sun Quan, you and your father will stay in my Great Wei, and you will go to say for you and that Sun Quan, take your whole family together, if you want to be Wei Chen, you will be the best of your ministers, if you want to be Han Chen, it doesn't matter, let the Son of Heaven be sealed, Taifu, Taiwei, Sikong, Situ... What do you want to do, let the Son of Heaven seal you something, let your Zhuge clan shine and be brilliant because of you, and be famous for thousands of years in the history of the Han Dynasty! β
While speaking, Cao Cao didn't know where to take out a piece of agreement.
It was the tripartite strike agreement...
Here, Cheng Yu has signed on behalf of Dawei, and Zhuge Jin has also signed his name on behalf of Dongwu, but only Zhuge Ke... It is only necessary for the envoy who can represent Jingzhou to sign this last stroke.
Then Cao Cao will arrange a tripartite sacrifice to the heavens... Under the witness of Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, and under the witness of hundreds of people, it was announced that in order to avoid the destruction of lives, all parties would strike the army and recuperate the people... There are thousands of Li Shu in a peaceful world.
In this way, Guan Yu raided Jiangdong... If you go any further, it will be attributed to treachery by the world, and the agreement in front of the Son of Heaven will be disregarded, and Jingzhou will also become the target of public criticism!
Zhuge Jin's whole family can also be preserved, and even sent to Dawei, where he will be added to the rank of knight, and he will be extremely popular, so he doesn't have to worry about his head falling to the ground!
Cao Cao can also get two precious years to find a way to crack the flying ball, and then... With the power of Kyushu, wait for the time of the counterattack.
This is a conspiracy, and it is also a conspiracy -
The only sacrifice is just Zhuge Ke's name... It is accurate that Zhuge Ke is in Jingzhou, and he is only famous on Liu Bei's side!
"Whoever does great things is informal..."Cao Cao stared at the tiger and looked at Zhuge Ke deeply, "Your name Zhuge Ke is only one step away from becoming a hero of Great Wei and a hero of Eastern Wu, Zhuge Yuanxun... What are you waiting for? β
Cao Cao rarely said so much to others.
Although he is talkative, he will never use this "thirsty" tone to ask others to do something, which is inconsistent with his personality and his identity.
But the situation forced him, in order for Dawei to get a short time to recuperate, Cao Cao spared no effort to fight... He must convince Zhuge Ke.
It's just that...
In Cao Cao's longing eyes, Zhuge Ke's serious expression suddenly changed, the corners of his mouth grinned, and then he laughed heartily, "King Wei is all my filial piety, but I want to disappoint you." β
With this sentence, Zhuge Ke's expression turned cold, and a sharp light like a blade flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Now that I am in Jingzhou, Er Cao Wei is fish and meat, when will I be afraid of fish and meat?" Threatened by fish? β
"You..."
Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Ke in disbelief.
And Zhuge Ke's voice continued, as cold as ever, as meticulous as ever, "Now, on behalf of Jingzhou, I want to put forward new conditions!" β
"King Wei... For your sake of Xu Huang, one of the 30,000 soldiers and five good generals trapped in Pinglu City, will you listen to me? Otherwise... You're about to disappoint the soldiers and civilians of Great Wei! β
When he said this, Zhuge Ke tilted his head slightly, his eyes passed through the vast field, staring at this land, there was a dark silence, and it was a long time before he said the next words under Cao Cao's shocked gaze.
"I want to be loyal, and I want to be filial... Because with all due respect, the current situation is that my Yunqi son is holding a sword, and King Wei and Sun Quan, hehe... You are fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered! β
β¦
β¦
Two hours later, at the Dongwu Post House, Wu Cang let out an exclamation, "He... He Zhuge Yuanxun agreed? Promised? β
It was Cheng Yu who answered him..."Yes, he agreed, the contract was written in black and white, he signed his name, and ten days later, it was witnessed by the Son of Heaven, in the deer shooting platform... Show the world! The three sides ceased war for two years, recuperated and recuperated, and settled in Lishu! β
Call...
Wu Cang let out a long breath.
In the end, filial piety still defeated loyalty, worthy of Zhuge Ziyu's Lantian Puyu, the son of a donkey!
"Haha... Hahaha..."
In addition to the excitement, Wu Cang laughed.
Laughing and laughing, he suddenly had a touch of puzzlement, and he hurriedly asked, "Why do you want ten days later?" Such a big event can be revealed to the world immediately! Late will change... Late will change..."
Yes, the ghost knows where Guan Yu is now?
The devil knows where Guan Yu hit ten days later!
The armistice agreement, while the tripartite strike, also means that in these two years... Soochow had no chance of regaining the land occupied by Guan Yu.
You can't backstab you again, again, again, right?
This is a little bit more heartfelt!
"Ten days...", Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment when he mentioned this topic, but it was only for a moment, he raised his head and looked directly at Wu Cang's eager gaze.
"Because Zhuge Yuanxun can't trust King Wu, this time King Wu can use the children of the Zhuge clan to blackmail, so what about next time?"
"What does Mr. Cheng mean?"
"Zhuge Yuanxun has conditions, he can sign, and he can turn his back on Jingzhou, but he must take the clansmen of his Zhuge clan from Dongwu to Xudu!" Speaking of this, Cheng Yu paused for a moment and said solemnly, "You, you understand..."
"Listen... Got it! β
I nodded tremblingly...
At this moment, Zhuge Jin, who was listening to the conversation between Wu Cang and Cheng Yu in the back room.
Because of this sentence, the hesitant eyes suddenly opened, and there was a slight change in his eyes.
"Hehe..."
He smiled, his mouth open, but he didn't know what to say.
It was as if at this moment, all his teachings to his son in the past poured into his heart.
- "The Six Arts of Gentlemen, Etiquette does not refer specifically to etiquette."
- "It also includes auspicious gifts, fierce gifts, military gifts, guest gifts, and jia gifts... If my son wants to become a husband, only by mastering etiquette and etiquette first, can he be calm and moderate on various occasions!"
- "Shooting, it's not a trick like throwing a pot, shooting is archery, you must pay attention to stability, accuracy, and ruthlessness, one hit will kill, one hit will hit!"
- "I can't always remember this 'number', this refers to a person's self-cultivation, only when you have accumulated enough 'number' in ordinary times, when you encounter major events, can you know it in your heart..."
"Hehe... Hehe, haha, hahahaha-"
For a while, Zhuge Ke smiled very restrainedly, but with a smile, his tears couldn't help but slowly flow from his eyes.
