Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 55 Xun Yu asked Zhuge Jin, your second brother Wolong is advising Liu Bei?

Zhuge Jin was ordered by Sun Quan and originally hoped to embarrass Cao Cao once by calling him an elephant, which would weaken his spirit and make Cao Cao miserable. However, he did not expect that the clever tricks of Jiangdong's counselors stumped all Cao Cao's counselors, but they failed. In the hands of the youngest son Cao Chong.

"Mr. Zhuge, I, the minister, have ordered Mr. Xun Yu to invite Mr. Zhuge to be a guest at his residence. I also ask Mr. Zhuge not to refuse."

Zhuge Jin was unhappy. He had just entered the post and before he had time to change clothes and wash up, two lieutenants from the Shangshu Ling's Palace followed with a carriage. .

"Oh!"

Zhuge Jin was slightly startled and exclaimed slightly.

Xun Yu was mature and prudent, and he was Cao Cao's son and confidant. He was even better than Zhang Zhao under Sun Quan.

However, he and Xun Yu had never had any friendship or even exchanged a word with each other.

"The carriage and horses are all ready. If it is convenient for Mr. Zhuge, please get on the carriage now. I will follow Mr. to the mansion. Lord Xunyu will wait for a reply immediately."

The captain saluted respectfully and said.

"Good! Good!"

Zhuge Jin also wanted to understand Xuchang's movements through Xun Yu, so he hit it off and agreed readily.

Shangshu Lingfu.

Although there are more than a hundred houses with high eaves and pavilions, they are extremely simple. There is neither the splendor of jewels nor the decoration of rare and exotic animals. Even the pillars on the two corridors of the corridor are mottled, with bits of paint peeling off, making it look extremely shabby.

"Mr. Zhuge, it's rare for you to come to Xuchang. Fortunately, I am lucky enough to see you."

Xun Yu stood tall at the door of the mansion. Seeing Zhuge Jin's vehicle stop, he hurriedly stepped forward and took a few steps, reaching out to support Zhuge Jin who had just gotten out of the car.

"Xun Lingjun, Zhuge Jin is so virtuous and capable, he really cannot bear such deep affection!"

Zhuge Jin hurriedly took a step back, bowed and said humbly.

The two of them said their respective rituals and entered the mansion together.

"Mr. Zhuge, I, Xun, am inviting you today. You can talk freely about your love without any worries."

Xun Yu was calm, experienced, and honest in his actions. He was known as an elder and was respected by everyone in China.

Zhuge Jin saluted and thanked him again, and the host and guest took their seats.

"Xun Lingjun is standing in the court and can take care of your worries. I sincerely admire you."

Zhuge Jin picked up the wine glass with a respectful and obedient look. He could use his words as a killing move. The implication behind the words was, do you listen to the emperor or Cao Cao?

Xun Yu smiled faintly: "Although I am in the government and the public, I listen more to Prime Minister Cao's teachings. But if I can correct people, love the people, and benefit the country, my remaining wishes will be enough."

"Just like Mr. Zhuge, although he is an adviser to the Marquis of Wu, his thoughts are still about the people of Jiangdong, not just the Marquis of Wu. Same reason!"

While Xun Yu was speaking, he slowly raised his wine glass, touched it with Zhuge Jin, took a sip, and then put it down again.

"Xun Lingjun is devoted to the country and the people, and Ziyu deeply admires him. But if you are too stubborn about some things, it may not be a good thing!"

Zhuge Jin sighed and turned his eyes. It seemed that he was looking at the trees outside the window, but it was actually in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

One day, if the prime minister and the Han Dynasty disagree, how will you, as the minister of the Han Dynasty and the minister in charge, decide?
Zhuge Jin has been testing Xun Yu's position since he sat down.

"Do your best and obey fate, that's all!"

Xun Yu didn't panic or mind, and said calmly.

"Your magnanimity, broadmindedness, and resourcefulness make Tzuyu admire you so much!"

Zhuge Jin raised his wine glass high, saluted Xun Yu, and drank it all in one gulp. .

"I heard that Mr. Zhuge, the three brothers are each extraordinary."

Xun Yu raised his chopsticks, took a bite of food, and spoke as if talking about homely matters.

"I have three brothers. I am the eldest, the second brother is Zhuge Liang, and the third brother is Zhuge Jun. My three brothers have been studying since they were young, and they only have a little talent."

Although Zhuge Jin's words were extremely modest, the brilliance in his eyes was infinitely high-profile.

"Your second brother Zhuge Kongming is known to the world as Mr. Wolong. I wonder how Mr. Zhuge's talent compares to Wolong?"

Xun Yu then asked.

"My second brother has the talent to reverse the universe and help the yin and yang. Compared to me, he is like the light of a firefly, compared to the bright moon in the sky. It is incomparable."

Zhuge Jin sighed and said ashamedly.

"I have long admired Mr. Wolong's talent, but it's a pity that my fate is so shallow that I have never been able to meet him."

Xun Yu stood up gently, walked to the window, and looked out the window.

It was almost dusk at this time, and a ray of setting sun came down, illuminating Xun Yu's face. The outlines became more distinct, revealing a special calm temperament.

Zhuge Jin looked sideways and sighed secretly.

Everyone in the world knows that Cao Cao is treacherous.Among the counselors under his command, although they are not weak in talent and learning, their moral character is mixed, good and bad.Only Xun Yu emerged from the mud and remained unstained. He always worked hard to support the country and maintain the balance between Cao Cao and the emperor!

I am afraid that only Xun Yu can have such a superior IQ, otherwise the world of this great man would have been eaten up by Cao's thieves.

"Tzuyu, I wonder if you can invite your second brother, Mr. Wolong, to come to Xuchang as a guest?"

"Mr. Wolong is a genius in the world, but it's a pity that I am in the official residence and have too many things to do, so I have no time to go and pay him a visit."

Xun Yu was silent for a while, then slowly turned around, walked to the table and sat down, looking at Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin frowned and shook his head: "My second brother has a weird temperament. He doesn't like the mundane things of coming and going. Instead, he only wants to travel around the mountains and rivers, and watch the clouds and wild cranes."

"To be honest, Mr. Xun, if I had the ability to bring my second brother out of the mountain, I would have introduced him to the Marquis of Wu long ago. How could I wait until today?"

Zhuge Jin's face turned red: "When I first arrived in Jiangdong, I was eager to make meritorious service under Wu Hou, and I asked my brother Wolong to go to Chaisang to meet my lord again and again. Unfortunately, he was rejected many times, and my brother was harmed instead. The relationship is extremely bad..."

"To tell you the truth, just seven days ago, when I was about to come to Xudu, I went to Nanjun..."

Zhuge Jin was in Jiangdong and also heard the news that Zhuge's military advisor assisted Liu Bei in invading Jingzhou and captured more than [-] cities.

In anger, Zhuge Jin paid homage to Sun Quan in the name of saving relatives, and went to Xiangyang alone to investigate the crime!

He wanted to question Zhuge Liang face to face, why he chose the unknown Liu Bei after repeatedly rejecting me!

But when he arrived in Xiangyang, he felt that something was wrong. Especially after hearing the news that the treasury was being investigated, Zhuge Jin was even more sure that the Zhuge military advisor in the city was not his brother Zhuge Liang.

After much twists and turns, Zhuge Jin entered Nanjun again and finally met Zhuge Liang at Huang Chengyan's house. Only then did the truth come out and everything was understood!
He also asked Zhuge Liang who the military advisor under Liu Bei was.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Wolong, who was in the Jingzhou clan and was extremely resourceful, could only shake his head and sigh, praising Liu Bei's military prowess, but he had no idea about this mysterious Zhuge military advisor...

After Zhuge Jin returned to Jiangdong, he didn't say much about this, because at that time, everyone in Jiangdong knew that Zhuge Liang had surrendered to Liu Bei's account. It was futile to argue based on his own words, and it was difficult to win people's trust.

"Report!"

"Reporting to Mr. Xun Lingjun, the imperial edict from the Holy One to Zhuge Ziyu has arrived. Mr. Zhuge is invited to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to receive the edict!"

The captain of the Prime Minister's Mansion came in a hurry, stood in the courtyard and spoke loudly, cutting off Zhuge Jin's words.

“Mr.

Zhuge Jin stood up with emotion, raised his hands to Xun Yu and said.

Although it was only a brief contact, Zhuge Jin was impressed by Xun Yu's strong charm.

"Tzuyu, please, if I have the chance, I will go to the house and visit Ziyu in person."

Xun Yu stood up and walked in front to lead Zhuge Jin out of the house.

Seeing Zhuge Jin walking away with the carriage and horses of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xun Yu stood silently in the sunset, letting his beard get messy by the breeze.

"Crouching dragon..."

"If you come to Xuchang and assist the Prime Minister, you will be able to rectify the gains and losses, eliminate the Prime Minister's ambitions, bring peace to the Han Dynasty, and continue to be glorious..."

"such a pity!"

Xun Yu let out a long sigh and seemed to look much older in an instant.

The Prime Minister's Mansion.

Huangmen held Huang Ling's imperial edict in his hand, and another eunuch from the palace beside him was holding a tray covered with a golden silk handkerchief.

Zhuge Jin hurried into the mansion, first paid homage to Cao Cao, and then knelt in front of Huangmen. .

"Your Majesty Zhuge Jin, I respectfully request the imperial edict."

Huang Men looked at Cao Cao, asked for instructions, and then began to read.

"According to the imperial edict of the Han Emperor!"

"He said: Sun Quan, the prefect of Kuaiji and the rebel general, has pacified the place and eliminated banditry, and is deeply loved by the people. Now he can be named the Mu of Jingzhou, and his general Zhou Yu will be the prefect of Xiangyang. The other officials will all have their own rewards!"

"Kin this!"

After reading out the imperial edict, Huangmen personally pulled off the silk handkerchief on the tray beside him, and it turned out to be the seals and ribbons of Jingzhou Mu and Xiangyang Prefect!

"I will accept the order from my lord, and the emperor will be well!"

Zhuge Jin raised his head to receive the order, his clothes were already wet with sweat, and his whole body was trembling slightly!

Of the nine counties in Jingxiang and Jiangdong, I only have one county in Changsha.

But the imperial court actually named my lord the shepherd of Jingzhou, and the governor Zhou Yu the governor of Xiangyang?
According to Gong Jin's temper, if this decree reaches Jiangdong, it may be necessary to raise troops to invade Xiangyang...

"Ha ha!"

Cao Cao laughed, stood up, and helped Zhuge Jin up.

"Although your master and I have never met each other, we have a very close friendship with your old master Sun Wentai!"

"Wentai Yonglie, when he punished Dong Zhuo in the past, he made great military exploits. Unfortunately, God did not bless him and he died in Jingzhou!"

"Remembering our friendship in the past, I seek the position of Jingzhou Shepherd for your lord in front of the Holy One. I hope that he can revitalize the ancestral foundation and create greater glory!"

Cao Cao held Zhuge Jin's hand and said with joy.

But Zhuge Jin became more and more frightened as he listened!
How is this a gift? It is simply a gift to bring disaster to Jingzhou and Jiangdong...

"Wei Chen, on behalf of my lord, I would like to thank the Prime Minister for his loving kindness and nurturing heart."

What Zhuge Jin is best at is pretending to be an honest and mediocre person.

At this time, he took this honor to the extreme, and outsiders could not see his inner interpretation of this edict and the fear caused by it. .

"When you come to Xuchang this time, if there is nothing else important, you can stay for two more days. I will order Xun You and others to accompany you for a stroll."

As Cao Cao spoke, he pointed to several counselors standing in the hall with their hands hanging down.

Xun You, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Jia Xu, Zhong Yao.

Half an hour ago, Xun You led four people and presented to Cao Cao the strategy for pacifying Jingzhou drawn up by the five counselors.

Its core idea is to drive away tigers and swallow wolves, so that Jiangdong and Liu Bei go to war, and if there is a chance, Cai Mao will also be dragged into the war!

After causing these three forces to fight each other, they then sent troops south to clean up the mess and regain Jingxiang in one go.

Cao Cao was overjoyed after seeing it, and immediately ordered Cheng Yu to write the imperial edict in handwriting, and then sent two yellow gates from the palace to carry out the procedure of reading out the imperial edict.

The imperial edicts and jade seals were all in Cao Cao's control. If he wanted to issue an edict, he did not even need the consent of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Even when Emperor Xian wanted to issue an edict, he had to send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to beg Cao Cao to lend him a jade seal to use as a seal.

"Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness, but Jin is not idle in Jiangdong. He still has many things to do. Since the imperial edict has been issued, I will pay my respects to the Prime Minister today, and I will reply early in the morning!"

Cao Cao and the other counselors pretended to retain him, but in their hearts, they all hoped that Zhuge Jin would rush back to Soochow to convey the imperial edict and promote a fierce fight between Sun and Liu.

……

The next day.

It was just dawn.

Zhuge Jin led Jiangdong's troops out of the post and prepared to set off.The morning light is rising, the breeze is blowing, and the willows beside the road are swaying gently, and there is already a hint of green.

"Tzuyu, brother Ziyu!"

Zhuge Jin was just about to climb onto the carriage when he suddenly heard someone calling from behind.

"Yuan Nao? It's really you!"

Zhuge Jin turned around and saw Xu Shu wearing a rough cloth robe and a turban.

Xu Shu and Kong Ming had known each other for a long time. Zhuge Jin had talked with Xu Shu several times in Kong Ming's thatched cottage in Jingzhou, and they were very familiar with each other.

"I heard that my brother is on an envoy to Xuchang, and I have always wanted to pay him a visit to comfort my longing. However, because he is a commoner, there are many inconveniences. I heard that my brother is leaving for Jiangdong today, so I came here to see you off."

Xu Shu stepped forward and held Zhuge Jin's hand, speaking with a hint of desolation.

Zhuge Jin sighed in a low voice, took Xu Shu's arm, walked to a remote place, looked around for no one, and then said: "Yuan Zhi came to Xuchang in the past because Cheng Yu had no choice but to carry out a villain's plan. I know Yuan Zhi is in Xuchang , I am not comfortable here, so why not make a plan to leave? If there is no place to stay, you can go to the east of the Yangtze River and join the hands of my lord. With Yuan Zhi's talents, he will be able to be put to good use."

Xu Shu shook his head: "I came here in the first place. If I leave now and join another master, making everyone laugh in the world, Yuan Zhi will no longer have a foothold."

"What's more, Wolong is born to assist Duke Xuande, and I feel at ease."

Xu Shu said with deep relief.

Zhuge Jin remained silent.

"Ziyu, although Jiangdong is strong, no matter who you compare with, if you compare it with Cao Cheng, it will be like an egg hitting a stone. Wolong assists Liu Bei, and you assist Sun Quan. Only by joining forces can we compete with Cao Cao!"

"Why are you unhappy?"

Xu Shu asked in confusion when he saw Zhuge Jin's worried face. .

"The person assisting Liu Bei is not my brother Wolong, but someone else!"

"I really don't know where the magic is, but it turns out that Liu Bei's quick plan to embezzle Jingxiang was not from the hands of my brother Wolong..."

Zhuge Jin was silent for another moment, then shook his head and sighed. . .

"But it is said by everyone that Duke Xuande visited the thatched cottage three times before inviting Military Advisor Zhuge from Wollongong..."

Zhuge Jin became even more confident: "This is just a rumor at this time. I only met my brother Kong Ming a few days ago, and he is not in Liu Bei's camp!"

Suddenly, Xu Shu was stunned on the spot!

"Could it be..."

Xu Shu turned around and looked at the weeping willows on the ten-mile long street, dancing and struggling in the morning breeze.

The wind is getting stronger, holding thousands of willows in the palm of my hand.

"Could it be that Mr. is born!"

Xu Shu murmured, seeming to have shocked himself!

"When Mr. Wang was born, the world weighed and held his hand..."

Zhuge Jin looked confused.

"Yuanzhi, who is sir? Who is sir?"

But Xu Shu didn't seem to hear him. His figure was numb, as if he was lost in thought, and gradually walked away.

"Sir, this person is so weird. Why is he suddenly acting like a man possessed?"

The attendant beside him walked over from the front of the carriage and asked curiously.

"Don't worry about him, set off quickly, leave Xuchang as soon as possible and return to Jiangdong!"

Zhuge Jin reached into his arms and touched the baggage containing the seals and ribbons of Jingzhou Mu and Xiangyang Prefect, then turned around and got into the car.

……

Xiangyang.

It has been half a month since Liu Bei took charge of the prefect's mansion.

In memory of him, the people paid homage to Liu Biao, and their benevolent hearts spread all over the city. They supported him one after another, and even organized voluntarily to write to the court, hoping that the court would issue an edict to confer Xuande as the shepherd of Jingzhou, to replace Liu Biao, and to rule Jingzhou forever.

"Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, these two bastards have done all kinds of bad things, but now they are dominating the three counties in the south. They are popular and drink hot food. They are more prosperous than us!"

"Brother, give me a soldier, and I will skin them both to relieve my brother's hatred!"

Every time Zhang Fei thinks of Cai Mao, he can't help but think of the exclusion and insult the Jingzhou clan gave them when the three brothers first came to Jingzhou.

Especially Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who had several murderous intentions to kill Liu Bei.This is even more of a mortal feud!
"Third brother, the military advisor has strict orders not to use military aircraft rashly. Why do you bring this up again?"

Liu Bei frowned and whispered.

No one dared to disobey Zhuge's military advisor's strict orders, but Zhang Fei wanted to fight Cai Mao every time he asked for help in front of Liu Bei.Liu Bei wanted to have an attack, but because of his brotherly love, he felt depressed.

"Father, uncle!"

Liu Feng was on one side. When he saw Zhang Fei asking for a fight, he was disappointed again. He rolled his eyes and took a step forward.

"Although Cai Mao is far away in the south and it is inconvenient to launch a war, his nephew and sister are still in Xiangyang and are in our hands!"

"Why don't you take them both and let the people of Cai Mao County, Nan County and Zhangling County know that if you dare to disobey, you will die!"

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Liu Feng's eyes!
"Mrs. Cai?"

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and his teeth couldn't help but clenched!
It was this woman who stirred up dissension in front of Liu Biao, causing Liu Biao to gradually alienate Liu Bei.

"Wicked woman! Where is he? I'm going to chop off his head!"

Zhang Fei was so angry that he pulled out the short knife from his waist and started to walk out.

"Third General, wait a minute."

Liao Hua suddenly stood up and shouted urgently.

"What else?"

Zhang Fei frowned and stared at Liao Hua.

"Mrs. Cai, Liu Cong, mother and son have been put under house arrest by General Zhao Yun according to the instructions of the military advisor. However, Zhao Yun went out with the military advisor and has not returned yet. We don't know where they are under house arrest."

Liao Hua said truthfully.

"Hmph! When the military advisor comes back, I will go to him personally to ask for someone. If I don't kill them both, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

Zhang Fei returned angrily and inserted the short knife back into his waist. .

"Brother, I don't think this is appropriate!"

Guan Yu was silent for a while, lowering his head in meditation. At this time, he suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Bei. .

"Mrs. Cai has done many evil things, and she would not regret dying!"

Liu Bei thought of his past experiences and Liu Biao's death, most of which were closely related to Mrs. Cai, so he gritted his teeth and said. .

"If we look at what Mrs. Cai did, nine deaths would hardly redeem her. But the eldest brother paid homage to Liu Biao first, and everyone in Jingxiang saw it. However, he mourned his brother in front of him, and beheaded his orphans and widowed mother in the back."

"If this matter spreads and is used by traitors, my brother will not be able to defend himself, and the popularity and reputation he has accumulated in Jingxiang will be destroyed..."

Guan Yu said worriedly.

"Third brother, if it hadn't been for your second brother to solve the problem, you and I would have almost ruined the military advisor's important matter!"

"In the future, the matter of harming his mother and daughter will never be mentioned again. It all depends on the military advisor!"

Liu Bei suddenly realized this and was shocked. He didn't expect that he almost missed a big event in order to avenge himself.

……

Xiangyang Xicheng.

On top of the ruins of the wall, charred rubble was scattered in all directions. From time to time, thorns and bushes emerged from the gaps between the rubble, spreading in twists and turns, covering most of the ground.

Of the original three huts, only a few sections of earthen walls are still standing there.

The few locust trees in the courtyard were bare with only their trunks remaining. The bark had long been burned by fire and peeled off.

But under the tree trunks, there are still many stone tables and benches. Although they are scattered and extremely messy, they are well preserved and have not been eroded by water, fire, wind and frost.

Zhuge Ming walked slowly into the courtyard, walking step by step through the rubble scattered on the ground.

When he came under the tree trunk, he stretched out his hand to hold up a round stone bench, gently brushed off the dust with his sleeves, and sat down.

Here was the Xiangyang School that he founded with great effort.

At the beginning of his time travel, he had no ambitions, nor did he want to make a fortune. He didn't even have the ambition to become a merchant or accumulate wealth.

He only hopes to build schools, develop agriculture, make people rich, and improve people's livelihood.

Xiangyang Academy, 36 students!

They are the unique talents he carefully selected and focused on cultivating.

Zhuge Ming closed his eyes and was completely immersed in the remote silence.

It seems that the school has not been destroyed. Among the 36 students, there are diligent and studious young people, young and immature children, and even two or three days old children who are just over three years old and have just learned to speak!

He taught them the principles of life, as well as the art of war and tactics, and the ways of governing the country.

A gust of wind passed by, and suddenly, it was like waking up from a dream.

These 36 people, one day after completing their studies and becoming apprentices, will surely be able to rule the world, subjugate the barbarians, subdue the eastern bandits, and open up the southern frontier!

however……

Zhuge Ming let out a long sigh, with sadness flowing in his eyes.

I wonder where these 36 people have gone now?

I only know that Xu Shu is in Xuchang, but there is no news about the others...

"Military advisor, I heard from the people in Xiangyang that this place was originally a school, and a person of unknown origin taught apprentices here."

"Later, it seemed that he had offended Cai Hao, so Cai Hao sent people to surround the place. They burned everyone and the school to the ground!"

Zhao Yun followed Zhuge Ming, sighed, and continued.

"Although I don't know this person, since he was persecuted by Cai Hao, he probably isn't a bad person."

"What a pity! Xiangyang City was like hell before my lord came!"

Zhao Yun looked back and looked at the Xiangyang Mansion in the distance, which seemed to be standing in the clouds and mist, and said with great emotion.

Without saying a word, Zhuge Ming slowly stood up, picked up his belt, and walked toward the ruins along the pieces of rubble and broken walls.

"Commander, the ground is uneven, be careful where you step!"

Zhao Yun couldn't understand why the resourceful military strategist was so affectionate towards the ruins and went to all the trouble to visit them.

Cai Mao!

Jingzhou clan!
Zhuge Ming stood on the ruins and let the spring breeze blow by.

The spring breeze has passed, and the earth will gradually return to spring.

But there are abandoned rubbles, burned dead trees, and the 36 students whose life and death are unknown.

Do they have a chance to return to life?
Zhuge Ming's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, like frost and ice peaks.

I originally wanted to live in troubled times and did not seek to learn and reach the princes!

But you refused and forced me to leave the mountain.

Since I cannot protect myself alone, I must help the world as well!
One day, I will bring peace to the world and bring peace to the people!
Zhuge Ming suddenly remembered the five hundred rural people who were burned and killed by Zhang Yun together with the sweet potato seedlings in the Western Mountains.

I couldn't help but burst into tears!
Zhao Yun saw the military advisor looking down at the ruins from a distance. He was extremely sad and sighed secretly: The military advisor is compassionate and has the world in mind. I will follow my lord and the military advisor and work together to help the Han Dynasty!
