The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 233 Zhuge Gui Godson

In the second ten days of February, under Liu Bei's powerful army, Wu Dun abandoned the city again and fled. He left Mou County and went straight to Banyang, where he defected to Zang Ba.

Since then, the road from Langya to Taishan County has been completely opened up.

Almost all of Taishan County is held in Liu Bei's hands.

Except for Zang Ba in the north and Sun Guan who flowed into Jibei, the other small groups of rogues no longer pose any threat, and they only need to be cleaned up slowly in the future.

The strategic goal of the first stage can be regarded as completely achieved.

Kong Rong was treated as a guest of honor by Liu Bei in Gai County. After staying for more than ten days, he asked to leave.Liu Bei was also very generous. With a wave of his hand, he sent [-] soldiers to escort him all the way to Beihai to take office.

Of course, after Lin Chao heard the news, he immediately wrote down Kong Rong's name in the notebook.

It's not the page that can be recruited, but it's on the same page as Liu Dai's name, which belongs to the tool people that can be used.

On the day before March, Liu Bei finally led his army to Fenggao.

On that day, Lin Chao took all the officials from the city ten miles out of the city to meet them.

Everyone in Fenggao came, except Zhuge Gui who was seriously ill and didn't come.

Seeing Liu Bei riding a tall horse and leading an army of [-] slowly approaching, everyone headed by Lin Chao hurriedly bowed and said: "My lord!"

Without even thinking about it, Liu Bei dismounted from his horse, walked up to Lin Chao in a few steps, and laughed loudly, "Excuse me, everyone!"

Guan Yu, who was behind him, saw Liu Bei dismount, so he ordered the army to stop advancing, and he dismounted to follow.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Everyone thanked them, and then stood up straight.

Liu Bei took Lin Chao's hand and said with a smile: "Zi Chu has worked hard, this time he not only went to Yanzhou as an envoy, but also returned to the battlefield to control the overall situation."

Lin Chao cupped his hands and said modestly: "It can't be called hard work. The battle of Fenggao is all due to Zhang Wenyuan, Xu Gongming, and Guo Fengxiao. Chao didn't give half of the credit."

In words, he deliberately erased the traces of Jia Xu.

Seeing Lin Chao's modesty, Liu Bei nodded at him, meaning that's all right, I've written down your achievements, and the rewards you should have will not be less.

As he said that, Liu Bei looked around again, and asked in confusion, "Zicu, why didn't you see Prime Minister Zhuge?"

He was invited by him to send troops to rescue him, so he should go out of the city to meet him now.

"Mr. Xuande, the Prime Minister of Zhuge County was also here, but he was seriously ill and couldn't bear the bumps, so the court decided privately to let him cultivate in the city, and asked Mr. Xuande to forgive him."

Hearing this, Liu Bei was surprised and said, "The Prime Minister of Zhuge County is so sick!"

Lin Chao nodded and said, "That's right, Zhuge Juncheng... I'm afraid he won't be able to last this spring."

"Ugh!"

Liu Bei let out a long sigh, and said, "Since that's the case, a certain Li will go to visit now, and Zichu will lead the way."

With that said, Liu Bei abandoned the army, and only led Lin Chao and Zhuge Jin into the city first.

……

At this time, Zhuge Gui was lying on the couch, explaining some things to Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming, do you know why my father asked your elder brother to go out of the city with Lin Zichu today to meet Liu Shijun?"

The crisis of Fenggao City has long passed, and Zhuge's reputation has been preserved. After all, Zhuge Gui still did not surrender after being besieged for several months.If you don't count the loyal ministers of the great Han, then there are not many people in the world who are loyal ministers.

But right now, Liu Bei is about to enter the city, and his affairs have been settled, so Zhuge Gui is very relaxed, speaking slowly, but calmly.

Zhuge Liang looked at his weak father, feeling a little sad in his heart, but he didn't dare to express it.

Zhuge Gui was strong all his life, and he hated others crying in front of him, especially as his son, he couldn't show any weakness.

"Father, Mr. Liu and I, the Zhuge Clan, have great kindness, so it is only natural for us to go out of the city to greet him."

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said.

Regarding this answer, Zhuge Gui shook his head and said: "Kong Ming, you are talented and intelligent. Even Lin Zichu praised you as a general and wanted to teach you all you have learned in your life. If you only have this level, then Let Wei father be very disappointed. Or, are you unwilling to tell the truth in front of Wei father, who is about to die?"

"Father, I don't mean that, it's just..." Zhuge Liang paused for a moment before continuing, "Father wants to entrust... the affairs behind him to Shijun Liu?"

As a son, Zhuge Liang would feel very uncomfortable if he had to say that his father would soon die, even if it was the truth.

Zhuge Gui nodded, and said with a smile, "It's not easy for you to think of this level at such a young age. It's not like you've failed Lin Zichu's expectations of you. Kong Ming, help your father to get up and change clothes."

"No, absolutely not!" Zhuge Liang quickly waved his hands and said, "The doctor said that my father needs to stay in bed to recuperate, so don't think too much..."

Zhuge Gui frowned, and said sharply: "Don't talk too much, help your father up!"

Fearing that his father would get angry and hurt his body, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to nod in agreement, then stood up, trying to pull his father up from the couch with all his strength.

It's just that no matter how smart he is, he is still only an eight-year-old boy, and his strength is still weak, so how can he support him.

Seeing this, Zhuge Gui also supported the couch with his hands, helped his son, and tried to sit up himself.

"Can you move it?"

Seeing his son was sweating profusely from exhaustion, Zhuge Gui's eyes flashed with pity, and he asked with a pun.

Zhuge Liang was still gritting his teeth and working hard, but nodded heavily.

"can!"

Only he himself knows how much determination and courage this word contains.

It took a lot of effort for the father and son to help Zhuge Gui from the bed.

Even, Zhuge Liang was so tired that he was panting heavily and sat down on the ground.Zhuge Gui didn't feel much better, his face flushed for a while, and he coughed violently a few times.

However, the father and son looked at each other and smiled happily.

After the laughter, Zhuge Gui's face became serious again, and he said, "Kong Ming, as a father, he will die soon. Before he dies, I have some things to tell you. Whether you understand it now or not, But my father wants you to write it down, you must write it down, there will always be a time when you will understand.”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and said seriously: "Follow father's instruction."

"Okay, now I will answer your question for my father. Liu Xuande is a strong man with a lot of capable subordinates, and my father does have plans to entrust the affairs of the afterlife. However, it is not always the case."

Hearing his father's words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help being a little puzzled. He just opened his mouth to ask, but he remembered what his father said just now, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to listen carefully.

Sure enough, Zhuge Gui continued: "Liu Xuande is someone who is going to achieve great things, and there will be more and more people around him in the future, even if he thinks about the friendship he has today, it will not be worth the passing of time.

The three of you brothers, if you just want to be rich, that's fine, but father can see that you and your elder brother are both proud and arrogant people, and they must be interested in fame.What the Father can do for you is to pave the way for you to walk more smoothly.

A single thread cannot form a thread, and a single tree cannot form a forest.A gentleman should not form a party for personal gain, but he should also not act alone. He must have some helpers to achieve success.A few days ago, Lin Zichu came to ask Guo Fengxiao to marry him, and he had already agreed for his father.

Guo Fengxiao is a man of nature, but he is an incomparable talent. He will surely shine in the future and become an important minister under Liu Xuande's command.The most important thing is that he also has a close relationship with Lin Zichu.As long as Liu Xuande survived, Lin Zichu would be his permanent backer. If he hadn't married a daughter of the Xun family, he would want to lick his old face as a father and come to propose marriage.

In two days, my father will choose another hero from Liu Xuande's command, and ask Liu Xuande to be the officiant, and marry your second sister as well. "

Having said that, Zhuge Gui had a rare smile on his face.

In this troubled world, being able to choose a good home for his daughter is also a joyful thing for a father.

Zhuge Liang asked, "Father, does that mean that Liang also worships Lin Zichu as his teacher and seeks his protection?"

"No!"

But Zhuge Gui shook his head and said: "Father means that because of your upright nature, you must make good friends with Lin Zichu and other important officials under Liu Xuande's command, otherwise you will be too rigid and easy to break.

However, it must not be used as a reliance!
How far you can go, human favor is only a means after all, and your own ability is the foundation!The more troubled times you are in, the more you must keep your integrity and integrity. You must not violate the family precepts and traditions that have been handed down for hundreds of years by the Zhuge family in Langya! "

"I understand!"

Zhuge Liang bowed his hands solemnly.

"Besides, my son should also remember that if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles. As a father, I know that you are talented and intelligent, but you must not be too ambitious. With your aptitude, even if you devote yourself to practice, your future achievements will definitely not be as good as Lin Zichu.

Even Jia Wenhe, who treats people with a smile all day long, and the prodigal Guo Fengxiao, you may not be able to catch up.What's more, under Liu Xuande's command, there are many capable people and strangers.

At any time, don't be complacent and underestimate the heroes of the world! "

"Father taught me, my son wrote it down!"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands again, and replied very seriously.

Zhuge Gui thought about it again, and found that there was nothing to explain.

The days to come are still very long, as long as you remember these, you will not make a big mistake, and let time teach him the rest.

"Okay, counting the time, Mr. Liu is coming soon, help Weifu get up and change clothes." Zhuge Gui said, "Don't cry, Weifu can't die for the time being, and I don't dare to die. If I die, I have to wait for you After the two sisters get married, they won't be burdened by their father."

If Zhuge Gui died now, then Zhuge Qian and Zhuge Jing would have to observe mourning for three years.

Three years is a long time, and there are many variables. Guo Jia can't wait, or whether he will recognize the marriage at that time is another matter.

Zhuge Liang understood the meaning of this sentence, and while helping his father to change clothes, he said in a low voice: "Father's actions... are too cruel."

Even if Zhuge Gui insisted on not dying, he would surely pass away soon after the second daughter got married.

As soon as they put on the wedding dress, they have to change into filial piety clothes. This is really cruel to the two daughters.

"As a father, why don't you want to see all of you get married..."

Zhuge Gui let out a long sigh, his voice full of loneliness and decay.

"What is cruel is not being a father, but this troubled world. In it, life and death are not under my control. Others are just trivial things..."

　Almost [-] words, let's break out tomorrow, and make up for the update owed yesterday and the update owed for the reward!
