The next day, Lu Su invited Kong Ming and Cheng Lun to the main hall. Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and other more than 20 civil and military people, Eguan Bo belt, sitting upright. Kong Ming met one by one and asked for their names. Finally, he took Cheng Lun to the guest seat.

Zhang Zhao and others had already advocated Jiangdong's surrender to Cao Cao at this time, and knew that Kong Ming and the others must have come to lobby, so Zhang Zhao first said with his words: "Zhao is a person from Jiangdong's micro end, and Mr. Jiuwen is high and long, and he compares himself to himself. Is that true?"

Kong Ming: "This is the comparison of Liang's life." ”

Zhang Zhao: "I recently heard that Mr. Liu Yuzhou Sangu was in the grass house, and fortunately, Mr. thought that he was like a fish in water, and his thoughts swept Jingxiang. Once I belong to Cao Cao now, I don't know what my opinion is?"

Kong Ming knew that Zhang Zhao and the others wanted to deliberately embarrass him, and if they couldn't make it difficult for these people, he was afraid that the alliance would have to give up, so he said: "It is easy for me to take the land of Hanshang. My lord Liu Yuzhou bowed to benevolence and righteousness, and could not bear to take away the foundation of the same sect, so he resigned. Liu Cong's son, who listened to the rumors, secretly surrendered, causing Cao Cao to run rampant. Today, my lord is stationed in Jiangxia, and there is no good plan, and it is not idle to know. ”

Zhang Zhao: "If this is the case, it is the gentleman's words and deeds that contradict each other." Mr. compares himself to Guan and Le, Guan Zhong Xianghuan Gong, dominates the princes, and dominates the world; Le Yi supports the weak Yan, and Qi is more than 70 cities: these two people are really talented in the world. The gentleman was in the grass, but he smiled proudly and sat with his knees crossed. Now he is engaged in Liu Yuzhou, and he should be used to promote the interests of the living beings and eliminate the harm, and exterminate the thieves. And before Liu Yuzhou got Mr., he still crisscrossed the world and divided the city; Although the three-foot child Meng, also known as the tiger with wings, will see the revival of the Han family, and the Cao family will be destroyed. The old ministers of the court, the hermits in the mountains and forests, all wait and see: they think that the clouds of the high sky, the glory of the sun and the moon, save the people in the fire and water, and take the world above the banquet, at this time. Mr. He returned to Yuzhou, as soon as Cao Bing came out, he abandoned his armor and threw himself away, looking at the wind and running away; he could not report to Liu Biao to settle the people, and he could not assist the orphan son and occupy the territory; he abandoned Xinye, went to Fancheng, defeated Dangyang, ran to Xiakou, and had no place to stay: after Mr. Yuzhou was born, it was not as good as the beginning. Guan Zhong, Le Yi, is that so?"

Cheng Lun was eating and drinking at this time, and he also stopped when he heard Zhang Zhao say this, this Zhang Zhao put Liu Bei's failure on Kong Ming, and he wanted to see how Kong Ming responded.

Kong Ming: "If a person is infected with scabies, he should first drink it with porridge and take it with medicine; when his intestines are reconciled and his body is gradually calm, then he will use meat to make up for it, and he will be cured with fierce medicine: then the root of the disease will be gone, and the person will have a whole life." If you don't wait for the qi pulse to ease, you will throw a strong smell of fierce medicine, and you want to be safe, which is difficult. My lord Liu Yuzhou, to the defeat of the Japanese army in Runan, sent Liu Biao, the soldiers are less than a thousand, will stop Guan, Zhang, Zhao Yun only: this is just like the time when the illness has been extreme, Xinye Mountain remote county, the people are scarce, the grain is thin, Yuzhou is only temporarily borrowed to accommodate himself, how can he really sit here Yefu with armor is not finished, the city is not solid, the army is not trained, and the grain is not sustained, but Bowang burns Tun, and the Baihe River uses water, so that Xiahou and Cao Ren are frightened: the use of troops by Guan Zhong and Le Yi may not be too much. As for Liu Cong's surrender, Yuzhou really didn't know, and he couldn't bear to take advantage of the chaos to seize the foundation of the same sect, which was really benevolent and righteous. When the defeat of Yang, Yuzhou saw that there were hundreds of thousands of people who went to righteousness, helping the old and the young to accompany each other, not willing to abandon it, ten miles a day, not thinking of enterprising Jiangling, willing to defeat with the same defeat, this is also great benevolence and righteousness. Outnumbered, victory and defeat are common. Emperor Gao was defeated by Xiang Yu several times, and the next battle was successful, which was not Han Xin's good strategy? It is the mastermind to build the country's plan and the safety of the society. It is not a boastful person, a false reputation and a deception: no one can reach it when he sits and talks, and he is incapable of responding to the situation on the spot. Honest for the world to laugh!"

Zhang Zhao heard it and knew that what Kong Ming said was the truth, and he was speechless. This Zhang Zhao is known as Sun Quan's first strategist, but he was stumped by Kong Ming so easily, Cheng Lun suddenly lost interest, and continued to eat and drink as a holiday for himself.

A person on the seat suddenly asked: "Today, Cao Gong's soldiers are one million, and there will be thousands of soldiers.

Kong Ming saw that this person had introduced himself before, and his name was Yu Xuan.

Kong Ming: "Cao Cao collected Yuan Shao's soldiers and robbed Liu Biao's rabble, although millions are not enough to fear." ”

Yu turned and sneered, this Kong Ming thought that he would be able to pass the test in this way It was too naïve, "The army was defeated in Dangyang, the plan was poor in Xiakou, and he only sought advice from others, and he still said 'not afraid', this is really a big deception!"

Kong Ming said calmly: "Liu Yuzhou has thousands of benevolent and righteous troops, and can fight against millions of brutal people? Now the Jiangdong soldiers are full of food, and there is the danger of the Yangtze River, and they still want to make their lord bend their knees and surrender to the thief, regardless of the shame of the world. From this point of view, Liu Yuzhou is really not afraid of thieves!"

Yu Tuo's face changed when he was told about the matter, and he no longer spoke.

One of the people on the seat asked again: "Kong Ming wants to follow the example of Yi and Qin's tongue and lobby Dongwu Ye?"

Kong Ming looked over, this person's name was Buqi.

Kong Ming: "Buzishan uses Su Qin and Zhang Yi as debaters, but I don't know that Su Qin and Zhang Yi are also heroes. Su Qin Pei was sealed by the six countries, and Zhang Yi was Qin twice, both of whom had the strategy of helping the people's country, not those who were afraid of the strong and bullying, and those who were afraid of swords and swords. When you heard Cao Cao's false and fraudulent words, you were afraid to surrender, and dared to laugh at Su Qin and Zhang Yihu?"

Bu Qi was speechless for a while, silent.

Suddenly, one person asked: "How can Kong Ming think Cao Cao is like a person?"

Kong Ming saw that this person's name was Xue Zong.

Kong Ming: "Cao Cao is a thief, why ask?"

Xue Zong was overjoyed, thinking that he could finally counter Kong Ming's army.

Xue Zong: "The public is bad. The Han Dynasty has been handed down to the present, and the days are coming to an end. Today, Cao Gong has two-thirds of the world, and everyone is in their hearts. When Liu Yuzhou doesn't know the sky, he wants to fight with him, just like hitting a stone with an egg, and he is undefeated?"

Kong Ming's face changed, and he said sharply: "Xue Jingwen'an came to this sentence of having no father and no king! Mrs. was born in heaven and earth, and loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of her life. Since the public is a Hanchen, if there are people who are not ministers, they should swear to kill them together: the way of the ministers. Today, Cao Cao's ancestors are talking about Hanlu, and they do not want to repay the service, but have the heart of usurpation, and the whole world is indignant; the public is returned to him in days, and there is really no father and no king!

Xue Zong's face was full of shame when he was said, and he stopped talking.

One person on the seat wanted to speak for Xue Zong, "Although Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he was still the queen of Xiangguo Cao Shen." Although Liu Yuzhou is descended from King Jing of Zhongshan in Yunyun, he has nothing to examine, and he is only the husband of a mat weaver, how can he compete with Cao Cao!"

Kong Ming sees it, it is Lu Jiye.

Kong Ming smiled at Lu Ji: "If you are not Lu Langhu of Yuan Shu's throne, please sit down and listen to my words: Cao Cao is the queen of Cao Xiangguo, then the world is a Han minister; Liu Yuzhou is a dignified emperor, the current emperor, according to the score, He Yun has nothing to examine? And Gaozu got up and became a pavilion chief, and eventually there was the world; weaving mats and selling swords, what is enough to humiliate it?

Lu Ji was also choked by Kong Ming's words, stopped talking, and ate silently alone.

At this time, one person said loudly because of the too much pressure given by Kong Ming: "What Kong Ming said is all strong and reasonable, and it is not a correct theory, so there is no need to say it again." And may I ask what is the classic of Kong Meizhi?"

Kong Ming looked at this person, it turned out to be Yan Shu, and this person changed the topic when he saw that the argument was not enough.

Kong Ming: "Looking for chapters and excerpts, the world's rotten Confucianism, how can the country prosper and establish things? Deng Yu and Geng Yi all have the talent to support the universe, and they have not judged what classics their lives are. Isn't it just like a scholar, just between the pen and inkstone, counting black and talking about yellow, and dancing and writing with ink?"

Yuan Acid originally came up with a big problem for Kong Ming, but who knew that he was avoided by Kong Ming's clever answer. Going to the bottom of the matter made him seem ignorant, and he hung his head and stopped talking.

At this time, Ruyang Cheng Deshu said loudly: "The public is a big talk, and it may not really be learned, and I am afraid that it will be laughed at by Confucians." ”

Kong Ming: "Confucianism is different from a gentleman and a villain. The Confucianism of a gentleman, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, keeping the good and evil, making sure that Ze and the time will leave his name for future generations. If the husband is a villain, he is only a carving worm, a full-time worker, a young man, and a poor man; although there are a thousand words in the pen, there is really no plan in the chest. And if Yang Xiong is famous for his articles, and he stoops to be reckless, he will inevitably throw himself into the cabinet and die, this so-called villain's Confucianism is also;

Cheng Deshu's face was red, and everyone in the audience was embarrassed by what Kong Ming said, Zhang Wen and Luo Tong were about to continue to ask Kong Ming, and suddenly one of them came in from the outside and said sharply: "Kong Ming is a genius in the world, and you are embarrassed by your lips and tongue, and it is not a courtesy." Cao Cao's army was approaching, and he did not think of a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but fought in vain! ”

Cheng Lun was watching Kong Ming's tongue battle group shouting wonderful, and he couldn't stop eating in his mouth. At this time, Kong Ming turned his gaze to Cheng Lun, and the other people in the seat also looked at Cheng Lun, only to see Cheng Lun eating roughly, and everyone frowned: "This Liu Bei's general is so rude." ”
