Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Such an incident made Chen Qun lose interest and he left in a hurry.

This made Sima Lang feel somewhat regretful after bidding farewell to Chen Qun.

After all, this was an opportunity to make friends with Chen Qun so that Sima could take the opportunity to move back to their clan's land.

However, Sima Lang did not care too much. When he took Sima Yi out of the teahouse, he found that Sima Yi seemed to be still thinking about something.

"Brother Yi, are you still thinking about the sand table set up by the national scholar?"

Seeing this, Sima Lang began to counsel gently. "The Duke of Guoshi has set up this sand table for several years. It is common sense that it will be difficult to solve it in a short time. Don't be too persistent."

"No."

Sima Yi shook his head and replied, "I was thinking about Zhuge Liang. If I'm right, he might be the same as me."

same?
Sima Lang was slightly startled, then asked, "Brother Yi, do you mean that he was also invited by the Duke of Guoshi?"

Sima Yi nodded. Although there was no direct evidence, he had a strong feeling in his heart.

Sima Lang recalled Zhuge Liang's calm appearance and took it more seriously.

In terms of reputation, the Sima family can be considered a famous family in Henei, but there is a clear gap between them and the Yingchuan Chen family.

Even Liu Bei invited many princes and noble families to watch the ceremony in the name of "grand military display", but the Sima family, which had gradually fallen on hard times, might not be qualified to be invited.

What was more important when Sima Lang brought Sima Yi here was that they received a letter from Guo Shihou, claiming that he had heard that Yi, the second son of Sima in Henei, was very strategic, always concerned about the state, and had extraordinary heroic spirit, so he wanted to take him in as a disciple and teach him.

Faced with the appreciation of the state-run marquis, Sima had no reason to refuse.

To be accepted as a disciple by a world-famous nobleman is something that countless young men have dreamed of.

Therefore, Sima Lang, as the eldest brother, took Sima Yi to Wujun at the cost of thousands of miles from Liyang, in order to support Sima Yi's studies and allow Sima Yi to become a disciple of the national scholar.

And if the young Zhuge Liang was also like this, let alone whether the Zhuge clan of Langya had declined, the mere identity of being a disciple of a national scholar was enough for Sima Lang to value him.

"If so, to be valued by the state marquis, he must have some outstanding qualities like my brother. At that time, he will be a fellow apprentice of mine and you can try to maintain a good relationship with him. He may be of great use to you in the future."

Sima Yi, who was being led by Sima Lang, remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Sima Lang was not surprised by this.

My younger brother has been a deep-seated person since he was young, and he always seems to be thinking about various things.

Although he is only eleven years old, he sometimes has a clearer understanding of the direction of the world situation than his elder brother.

After Sima Lang brought Sima Yi back to his residence and closed the door, Sima Lang pulled Sima Yi aside and asked.

"Brother Yi, we have arrived in Wu County for three or five days, but you said you wanted to travel around first. I wonder when you will go to meet the national scholar? The sooner the better."

After a pause, Sima Lang said jokingly, "If it's too late, the state scholar might kick you out."

"will not."

Sima Yi waved his hand and said.

"Guoshi Hou is different from Chen Changwen. Judging from his past behavior, he is tolerant. The fact that Guoshi Hou sent someone from afar to invite me is enough to show that he thinks highly of me. He will definitely not be angry because of some trivial etiquette."

"And the reason I traveled around is that I wanted to see the state scholar's ability to govern, and whether he could help Emperor Liu to gain a foothold in the world as rumored."

Sima Lang heard this and asked, "What conclusion did you draw, brother Yi?"

Sima Yi still had a somewhat childish face, but his eyes were unusually sharp and deep. He said, "We can fight for the Central Plains if we advance, and we can rule the country if we retreat. We have already laid the foundation for hegemony, and we should not underestimate it."

……

At the same time, sounds of conversation could be heard in a room not far away from the guesthouse where Sima Yi lived.

"The one who supported the Han Dynasty, established a benevolent and virtuous era, and brought blessings to the people must be Uncle Liu."

Zhuge Liang bowed in reply.

Zhuge Xuan stroked his beard and said, "In that case, has Liang'er made up his mind?"

"Yes, please take me to visit the state scholar," Zhuge Liang replied.

Immediately, seeing that it was still early, Zhuge Xuan simply led Zhuge Liang out of the chapel, rented a carriage and went to the neighboring Wu County, where they found the residence of the Marquis of Guoshi.

Even though the number of visitors to Guoshihou Mansion was not as many as that to Liu Bei's residence, there were still countless people who wanted to visit Li Ji.

Even though Li Ji chose to avoid meeting him most of the time, one still had to queue up just to send a visiting card.

Seeing this, Zhuge Xuan could only wait patiently for a quarter of an hour before it was his turn to present the visiting card.

When handing the visiting card to the doorman, Zhuge Xuan was more careful and did not forget to put the letter he had received from the national hero together.

Immediately, just when Zhuge Xuan was about to take Zhuge Liang back to wait for news.

The doorman carefully checked the hidden mark on the letter, and after confirming its authenticity, he quickly called Zhuge Xuan.

"Mr. Zhuge, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xuan stopped immediately.

Although Zhuge Xuan had some fame in Langya County, he had never been an official in his life. However, he asked the doorman very politely.

"I wonder if there is anything I can teach you?"

The doorman opened the door and said politely, "Please come in and sit for a while, Mr. Zhuge. The Marquis has not returned yet. He will meet Mr. Zhuge when he returns."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xuan was slightly startled, and then he couldn't help feeling a little happy in his heart, realizing that the Duke of Guo must have thought highly of Liang'er, so he had already made arrangements.

Immediately, facing the envious gazes of many people who came to the door to deliver visiting cards, Zhuge Xuan took Zhuge Liang into the legendary Guoshihou Mansion.

After entering the mansion, unlike Zhuge Xuan who was more cautious, Zhuge Liang looked around with a rather helpful look.

Different from what one might imagine, the mansion of the Marquis of Guoshi was not extravagant at all. Apart from being spacious enough, it was also simple and plain everywhere.

Even the occasional maid passing by had clothes that were only slightly better than those of the common people outside.

This made Zhuge Liang's favorable impression on the national hero whom he had never met before increased by three points. He was in a high position and worked for the benefit of the people, but did not pursue pleasure, which showed his ambition.

Suddenly, the sound of children laughing was heard.

A little fat boy rushed out from the corner in front, looking back and shouting continuously.

"Brother, come and catch up with me. If you catch up with me, I will let you..."

The next moment, Zhuge Liang, who was unable to dodge, was hit by the little fat boy.

Although Zhuge Liang was older, the little fat boy was not much smaller than Zhuge Liang, which made the little fat boy fall to the ground after he bumped into him. Zhuge Liang also took a few steps back and fell to the ground. (End of this chapter)
