Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 754 Face-to-face introduction

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he was about to go out with Yuan Xi, but saw Huang Yueying wink at him, and said to Yuan Xi: "Please wait a moment, I will have a few words with my wife."

When Yuan Xi saw it, he nodded and said: "Okay, I will go out to mobilize some people first. Now I will leave in the near future. During these few days, I will leave some sergeants behind to protect the military advisor and his wife."

Zhuge Liang quickly thanked him and watched Yuan Xi go out, but stayed and said to Huang Yueying: "Madam, do you have any doubts about my surrender to the envoy?"

Huang Yueying sighed: "Since my husband has already decided on such a big matter, I will naturally not comment on it."

"But what I don't understand is that in his words, he obviously wants to oppose the Han and stand on his own. Didn't my husband previously have the goal of prospering the Han?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Madam didn't say anything to stop me just now, but when I agreed to the envoy, you won't give in anymore?"

"Madam is right. I did think so before I met the envoy."

"But you heard what I said just now. How do you think he will compare to Emperor Huan Ling if he reaches that point in the future?"

Huang Yueying naturally would not say anything against her will, so she replied: "If what he says is sincere, he will still be much better than Huan Ling."

Zhuge Liang asked again: "How about comparing it to Guangwu?"

Huang Yueying hesitated and said: "I don't know, but it should be worse, right?"

"But judging from the courage revealed in his words, he may not be much worse than Guangwu."

Zhuge Liang sighed: "Madam, I think even if the Han Dynasty is revived in the future, how many emperors will be as powerful as Guangwu?"

Huang Yueying was silent, let alone Emperor Guangwu, it was not impossible for him to be worse than Huan Ling.

By that time, the world will still be in chaos.

Zhuge Liang sighed softly: "The conversation we had just now and your words started to make me think about a few questions."

"What is Han?"

"What if Han becomes a violent Qin?"

Huang Yueying understood what Zhuge Liang meant and said: "What you are saying is that it is not important what dynasty is, but what is important is whether the world can be kept peaceful and the people can live and work in peace and contentment?"

Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "You can say that."

"I can't foresee changes in what will happen hundreds of years from now, but if today's emperor can usher in a few decades of peace, that is the greatest wish I can think of."

"And today's envoy made me see this possibility, so I want to give it a try."

Huang Yueying was almost completely convinced by Zhuge Liang. She finally said: "Husband, aren't you afraid that that person is lying to you?"

"What if his words and deeds don't match up?"

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang stood up straight and said, "In that case, I will stay by his side even more to fulfill my duty of admonition."

"To use the right to persuade the unjust, to use benevolence to stop cruelty, isn't it the wish of us who live in troubled times?"

Huang Yueying said softly: "You will die."

Zhuge Liang showed determination, "If we don't have this kind of awareness, how can we help the world and the people, and save the world from fire and water?"

"Madam, if..."

Huang Yueying interrupted Zhuge Liang, "I am looked down upon by my husband."

"Even if your husband goes through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will follow you."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Outside the house, Yuan Xi was arranging soldiers to garrison, but he saw Lu Lingqi on the side with a smile on her face and asked curiously: "Madam, what happy things have you thought of?"

Lu Lingqi shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I just sighed that my husband has a very accurate eye on people."

Yuan Xi didn't understand why and said with a smile: "Do you think Kong Ming is awesome too?"

"Madam has a very good taste too."

Lu Lingqi thought to herself, it’s not that I have good eyesight, but that I have a good ear.

After a while, Zhuge Liang came out, but he brought out Huang Yueying dressed as a book boy, saying that she wanted to see the world.

As soon as Yuan Xi and Lu Lingqi met, they knew that Zhuge Liang and his wife were in a similar situation to themselves. They were afraid that the war would be a disaster, so the couple decided to live and die together. Not only did they feel that peace was precious despite how difficult the world was.

Everyone got on the carriage together, and the four of them sat opposite each other. Yuan Xi took Zhuge Liang's hand and talked about the things under his rule like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. Huang Yueying frequently looked at the place where the two people's hands were holding each other, with a strange look on their face.

Lu Lingqi looked at Huang Yueying across from her and found that the other person's eyes were moving around. She didn't know what she was thinking. She thought to herself that this was a smart person. All his thoughts could be seen in his eyes. Speaking of the other person, Or a relative of Liu Biao?

If we can really build this line and unite with Jingzhou, can we completely surround Cao Cao?

Lu Lingqi then shook her head and rejected the idea. She was as good as Lin Feng and would be destroyed. Yuan Xi's current victory has shown signs and strength of fighting for world hegemony. The princes in the world are not fools and will not sit still and wait for death. They are ambitious. They are more concentrated in vertical and horizontal alliances. I am afraid that what your husband is facing is an opposition force that is colluding in private, right?

At this time, Zhuge Liang listened to Yuan Xi's story about the fight and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Such a generous move indeed seems like Mr. Fengxiao's plan."

"But it's too risky to use Qijun's tactics."

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly: "There is no way. Otherwise, I can't deceive Cao Cao."

"It turns out that Cao Cao made me suffer a lot last year, which made me feel a little unsure when facing him."

Zhuge Liang sighed: "Cao Cao is really like a gambler. He must use all his strength every time he attacks, but his opponents are often wary and restrained." "This time, the envoy also gambled his own life to achieve such a narrow victory. "

"I'm not saying that this choice is not good, but the envoy is the lord and should cherish his life. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, who in the camp or even in the world can replace the envoy?"

"Liang will familiarize himself with the military as soon as possible and go out on the expedition in my lord's stead."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I have written down the military advisor's advice."

"After finishing this round, I will go back to Youzhou to farm."

Zhuge Liang heard this and said: "Master, do you want to go to Shouchun next?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "The military advisor really understands me. Why don't we go north to Heishan instead of going east to Shouchun?"

Zhuge Liang said: "My lord has been on a long journey, the soldiers are exhausted, and supplies are insufficient. If we return now, we may be taken advantage of by Cao's army."

"If we go east to Shouchun, we can cross the Huai River to the north to threaten Xu County, and we can defend Hefei and block Jiangdong if we go south. It can be said that we kill two birds with one stone."

"And you are worried about Jiangdong's sneak attack on Wancheng, right?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi's face darkened, "Indeed, Jiang Dongxiao took advantage of others' danger and didn't teach them a lesson. I can't help but feel angry."

"It would be better if it could be eliminated."

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Master, do you think you have the ability to fight on both sides?"

Yuan Xi was speechless, and finally said: "No, I just said it casually to vent my anger."

Zhuge Liang said: "I really want to teach Jiangdong a lesson and let him know the pain, but with your strength, if you want to cross the river and destroy Jiangdong, I'm afraid it's not the right time."

"So we have to find a way to appease Jiangdong first and stabilize the situation, and then we can take measures slowly."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said: "I am too impulsive. Please ask the military advisor to think about it."

After being reminded by Zhuge Liang, Yuan Xi realized that on the one hand, his anger towards Jiangdong was due to his betrayal. On the other hand, Mrs. Wu and Hua Tuo had no news after returning to Jiangdong, which made Yuan Xi quite anxious.

Yuan Xi did not believe that Jiangdong's sneak attack was Mrs. Wu's idea, unless the other party had been disguising his true nature, but after getting along with him, Yuan Xi felt that this possibility was unlikely.

That is another possibility, Mrs. Wu was ignored.

Yuan Xi originally asked Mrs. Wu to go back because he wanted to take advantage of the panic among Jiangdong people and use Mrs. Wu as a bridge to repair the relationship between the two parties, but he was afraid that he had underestimated Sun Quan.

Thinking that although the other party was not good at military affairs in the future, he was able to maintain a balance in domestic affairs. He was worthy of being one of the three giants. Although he was still a child, he already had great ambitions. He wanted to treat him as a true leader. The opponent came to see it.

While he was thinking about it, the carriage arrived all the way outside the city. In front of Cao Jun's abandoned camp, there were hundreds of soldiers waiting, led by Liu Guanzhang.

Youzhou soldiers escorted Yuan Xi's carriage to a stop. Yuan Xi came down first, Zhuge Liang followed, and Lu Lingqi and Huang Yueying came last.

Liu Bei's eyes narrowed. He had met Lu Lingqi and knew her identity, but why was she behind a strange young scholar?

He saw that the man was more than eight feet tall, with majestic weapons and a body shape that looked like a military commander. However, his clothes were that of a scholar, and his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes were handsome. Liu Bei was the only one he had seen in his life. Liu Bei was confused. This was who?

As a result, Xu Shu behind him lost his voice and said, "Kong Ming, why is he still here?"

After hearing this, Liu Bei turned around and said in surprise: "Is this the Crouching Dragon that the military advisor said?"

Xu Shu sighed and said, "Exactly. From the looks of it, has he taken refuge with Fierce Tiger?"

"This is troublesome. The dragon and the tiger meet, and the situation is tense. I always thought that the person who matched the fierce tiger was Youzhou Mu Zhao Zilong, but I didn't expect that it should be Kong Ming?"

Liu Bei was very surprised and said: "The military advisors think so highly of him, do they really have their own talents and learning?"

Xu Shu sighed: "My lord will know it as soon as he sees it. It's a pity, it's a pity that the fierce tiger has taken the lead."

"Is it true that there is an expert stargazer around Fierce Tiger who has noticed Kong Ming's extraordinary power?"

When Liu Bei saw Xu Shu beating his chest and stamping his feet, he was doubtful. However, when he saw Yuan Xi coming, he hurriedly greeted him, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "We are separated from each other for many miles, and I am very happy to see you today."

"I heard that your commander defeated Cao Cao, which makes me feel proud and proud. I admire you so much."

Yuan Xiqian said: "Concession, if Duke Xuande hadn't held Zhang Xiu back and sent General Guan Xiang to help, the outcome of this battle would have been unpredictable."

He pulled Zhuge Liang beside him and said, "Let me introduce you to Duke Xuande. This is my newly found military advisor, Zhuge Kongming."

Xu Shu, who was behind Liu Bei, looked bitter. He really let the other party take the lead!

Zhuge Liang had already seen Xu Shu, but due to etiquette, he came up to see Liu, Guan, and Zhang first, and then said to Xu Shu: "Brother Yuanzhi, I haven't seen you for many days."

Xu Shu returned the favor and said, "I didn't expect that Kong Ming would become Yuan Shijun's military advisor. Things are so unpredictable."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I am still a little confused."

Yuan Xi watched Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and others laughing and chatting from the side, and suddenly felt a rush of joy in his heart.

No, you can’t think like that!
