Chapter 1208 Wolong Xiaoliang
In a quiet thatched cottage in Longzhong on the outskirts of Xiangyang, the two sat opposite each other.The older man looked worried, stroked his beard and asked: "De Cao, Jingzhou seems to be calm now, but there is a dark tide raging inside, what's your opinion on this?"

The opponent is also a person with elegant appearance, loose crane bone, and extraordinary appearance.However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "Okay, okay..."

Hearing this, the man on the opposite side couldn't help but tore off one of his beards, and couldn't laugh or cry: "De Cao, when is this, and you still only want to be that 'good man'? Can it make you wish?"

Decao is the name of Sima Hui, Mr. Shui Jing. The man said that Sima Hui was obviously familiar with Sima Hui's temperament.Sima Hui never talked about other people's shortcomings. When talking to people, he always said "good" no matter what was good or bad.His wife scolded him and said: "Others think you are a moral gentleman, so they tell you private matters. Why can you say everything they say?" He replied: "You can say whatever you want." The Jingxiang area was rumored to be undiscussed for a while, but the term "Mr. Haohao" in later generations came from Sima Hui.

"Old man Huang, don't just watch that Jingxiang is going to be in chaos. You don't know that chaos will come. Jingzhou is the heart of the Han Dynasty. It is connected to Sili in the north, Sichuan and Shu in the west, and the Central Plains in the east. It was originally the place where the Four Wars took place. The chaos in the world is all because of the prosperity of the Central Plains, where power is at the center. But now the three families of Ma, Cao, and Sun stand together, and the only place where they seek to make progress is Jingzhou. If Jingzhou does not go through this pain, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve the state of great governance and peace... ..." At this point, Sima Hui smiled casually: "After the great chaos, there will be a hero to calm down the world. It is a blessing for me to wait for Jingzhou to become a place where dragons fight and tigers fight!"

"It's nonsense!" Huang Chengyan is a pure Confucian, and what a Confucian values ​​most is something that Sima Hui of the Legalist could not have imagined anyway: "Wars are chaotic, the flames are raging, thousands of people die tragically on the battlefield, tens of thousands of fertile fields The house was destroyed once. You lay quietly in the middle of the land, and you didn't want to relieve the world's people's worries, but you talked nonsense here. Do you think that once the war breaks out, your thatched hut will still stand here safely?"

Seeing that Huang Chengyan was a little angry, Sima Hui didn't answer. He took a sip of tea, and after Huang Chengyan's anger subsided, he said slowly: "This chaotic world is about to rise, and it is the general trend. How can I change my fate?..."

After saying this, Sima Hui let out a long sigh, and Huang Chengyan on the other side fell silent when he heard Sima Hui's insight.However, not long after, the eyes of the two converged on the outside of the window in a tacit understanding. At that place, a boy was bending over to sprinkle water, carefully watering the flowers and plants in front of the thatched cottage.

The two looked at each other again, and for a moment they understood what the other was thinking, and laughed knowingly. Sima Hui coughed slightly, and shouted Qingming: "Xiao Liang, come in."

Hearing this, the boy couldn't help showing a wry smile, put down the kettle in his hand with some reluctance, and walked towards the thatched hut.At this time, both Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui saw that this boy was born handsome and gratifying, with big eyes that fluttered like black gemstones, and those innocent eyes were full of the brilliance of wisdom.Standing in front of the two of them, not startled, not busy, calm and composed, even adults can't match him.Although the two had been looking at the boy for two years, they seemed to be unable to get enough of it, as if as soon as this boy appeared, all the splendor in the world would be attracted to him.

"Morality, what is Xiaoliang's year?"

"fourteen."

"Oh, my Ah Chou is also at this age, how about..."

As soon as the words came to this point, Sima Hui frowned: "Old man Huang, how many times have you said this? Besides, I can't decide this matter. If you really want to marry your ugly son to Xiao Liang , you go to Yuzhang and talk about it."

Zhuge's family was originally from Langya, Xuzhou. When Xuzhou was in turmoil two years ago, Zhuge Liang fled to Xiangyang with his uncle Zhuge Xuan.Because of Zhuge Xuan's friendship with Liu Biao, he was recommended by Liu Biao as the prefect of Yuzhang.At that time, the situation in Yuzhang was not stable, so Zhuge Xuan left Zhuge Liang and his third younger brother Zhuge Jun to study with Mr. Shui Jing, and took Zhuge Jin to Yuzhang alone to take office.

Marriage in ancient times was naturally the order of the parents, although the teacher had the right to act on behalf of the father.But Zhuge Xuan of Yuzhang did not die. If Huang Chengyan really wanted to marry Zhuge's family, he really couldn't escape Zhuge Xuan.But Yuzhang was captured by Sun Ce long ago, and he couldn't communicate with letters, so Huang Chengyan had to rely on his boss Ma Hui.

Huang Chengyan wanted to say more, but this time Mr. Haohao's expression turned a little bit bad.He reached out his hand to stop Huang Chengyan, and asked Zhuge Liang, "Did you hear what we said before?"

"I heard." Zhuge Liang replied honestly.

"Then you said, Jingzhou is already like this, so what should I do?" Sima Hui's face did not show any consideration, and it could even be said that it was a tone of asking for advice.

"I'm only 14 years old this year, so I don't understand these major political issues..." Zhuge Liang's face turned bitter, obviously unwilling to waste time with the two old men.

"Let it go..." Sima Hui had a temper after all, but thinking that he was still Zhuge Liang's master, he swallowed the last word in his stomach, and said angrily: "Parents, please don't slow down. Although I am not your parent, this Two years of education..."

Hearing Sima Hui say these old almanacs again, Zhuge Liang's complexion became even more bitter, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Jingzhou won't be in chaos, and you don't have to run away in a hurry, Teacher."

As soon as this sentence came out, Sima Hui's face turned purple, but Huang Chengyan was very happy to see it, and asked happily, "Then Xiaoliang, why can't Jingzhou be in chaos?"

"The Ma family has been campaigning for many years, and the national government has long been exhausted. It looks like a tiger occupying the north, but it is flashy; Yanzhou Cao Cao sent troops to Qingzhou to shock the imperial power faction in the court. After this time, his focus should be on the court. Above all, he will not attack Jingzhou in the short term; Sun Ce, that lunatic, is ambitious, but after all, he is a newborn calf, and he does not know the bravery of the northern tigers. After a tacit understanding, Sun Ce can only think long-term. The tacit understanding between the Ma family and the Cao family has a long history..."

Listening to Zhuge Liang's eloquence, Huang Chengyan held his breath.On the other hand, Sima Hui seemed to be a little bit unable to get off the stage. He complained that Zhuge Liang revealed the embarrassment that he just wanted to escape from Jingzhou despite his sanctimonious face. If these three families are as you expected, if Zhou Mu is seriously ill and Cai Mao secretly arranges this matter, Jingzhou will be in chaos, so what else do you have to say?"

Seeing that Sima Hui had told all about Liu Biao's serious illness, Huang Chengyan couldn't help but be moved. After all, the news had not yet spread in Jingzhou.And it was because he married Cai's eldest daughter that he got the news from Liu Biao's concubine Cai.But Sima Hui, a guy who kept his mouth shut, told such an important matter to a sixteen-year-old boy, secretly blaming Sima Hui and Meng Lang—once this news got out, Jingzhou would definitely be disturbed.

However, when he turned his head again, he saw Zhuge Liang's understanding look, and he was even more surprised, and hurriedly urged: "Xiao Liang, why do you look like this?"

"Because, Liu Jingzhou must suffer this calamity, so Jingzhou will not suffer from war."

Now, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui stared wide-eyed, looked at Zhuge Liang in disbelief, and asked in unison, "Why?"

"Because Liuzhou Mu is the hub that maintains the major forces in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou is coveted by all the heroes. Only by removing his piece of wood, the water in Jingzhou will flow freely. In this way, it is much easier to deal with Jingzhou, which is a mess of sand." Zhuge Liang When he said these words, his face was as calm as ancient waves, as if the conspiracy of the world should be like this.

But Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui never expected that such a delicate and treacherous link would be suddenly broken by Zhuge Liangliang, and both of them felt a kind of belated panic.Especially Sima Hui, the cold sweat was streaming down his back.But after carefully thinking about Zhuge Liang's words, he didn't understand: "Just now you said that Jingzhou will not be in chaos, but now you say that someone wants to eradicate Liuzhou Mu and make Jingzhou a mess. Isn't that contradictory?"

Zhuge Liang sighed, he didn't want to enter this thatched hut before, there was this reason - the two old men have lived most of their lives, and they are both Jingchu celebrities, why did he bother to explain such a simple truth? ?
