Reborn Duke In Three Kingdoms

Longzhong in August is picturesque.

Liu Xiu took Deng AI to Longzhong by carriage. The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. Liu Xiu and Deng AI went to the place where Zhuge Liang lived.

They left for about a quarter of an hour and came outside the house.

Deng AI went up and knocked on the door. Not long after, a boy opened the door, looked out at Deng AI and Liu Xiu curiously and asked, "who are you? What's the matter?"

Deng AI bowed his hands and said, "my son Liu Xiu, a classmate of Mr. Zhuge, has come to visit Mr. Zhuge today."

The boy was surprised to see Liu Xiu standing outside the door.

Is Liu Xiu the young man in front of you?

It seems that it is not the burly and tall in the legend, but the thin and elegant.

The boy shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiu, my husband and friends have gone to the mountain together. It may be three or five days, or ten and a half days. I don't know when I will come back. If you have something to do, you can tell me. I'll tell you when my husband comes back. "

Hearing the speech, Deng AI turned and looked at Liu Xiu, waiting for Liu Xiu's reply.

Liu xiudao: "it's no big deal. Since brother Kongming is not at home, I'll come back next time."

"Ai, let's go."

Liu Xiu waved and Deng AI said goodbye to the boy.

As they walked down the mountain, Deng AI said, "young master, Mr. Zhuge is not here. We can only come again next time."

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "I have understood Zhuge Liang's mind. It's better not to see each other. Perhaps, this is the best way to refuse. He doesn't have to be embarrassed, and I don't have to be embarrassed. "

Deng AI seemed to understand, with doubts on his face.

Liu Xiu patted Deng AI on the shoulder and said, "let's go down the mountain and go to Xu Shu's residence."

……

In the mountains, the maple forest sways and the shadow of the trees whirls.

In an open and flat place, Zhuge Liang, Shi Tao and Meng Jian were sitting under a tree, playing chess.

At this time, Zhuge Liang played chess with Shi Tao.

As he settled down, Shi Tao said, "Kong Ming, Liu Xiu has been appointed as the prefect of Yuzhang Prefecture by the emperor. Although he is temporarily in an empty position, he has great potential. You and Liu Xiu are classmates. He will come to you and invite you. But why do you want to avoid it? "

Zhuge Liang chuckled and said: "the way is different, do not conspire."

Meng Jian stroked his beard and said, "is it possible that Kong Ming plans to go north with us?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, twisted up a black spot and fell down. He solemnly said, "I'm determined to fight against the thief Cao. It's impossible to go to the north to help the thief Cao."

With curiosity in his eyes, Shi Tao asked, "or are you going to Jiangdong?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Jiangdong is not suitable."

Meng Jian and Shi Tao looked at each other, but they couldn't understand each other. They said, "Cao Cao is not suitable, Liu Xiu is not suitable, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong is not suitable. You look down on Liu Biao. In that case, how are you going to choose? "

Zhuge Liang shrugged his shoulders and said, "if there is no choice for the time being, it's better not to choose. Isn't it good to work hard in Longzhong?"

Shi Tao said, "I can't understand you, Kong Ming."

Zhuge Liang lost another son and said, "you lost."

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Shi Tao sighed and said, "I lost this game."

After a pause, Shi Tao said: "Kong Ming, you can learn martial arts and sell them to people who know goods. You have a great ambition to calm the world. Why not choose? Whether it's Cao Cao, Sun Quan or Liu Xiu, it's not bad. "

Ge Liang's body became solemn. He looked at Shi Tao and Meng Jian and said, "the Lord I want to choose must meet my standards."

"What standard?"

Shi Tao and Meng Jian asked in unison.

Both of them were very curious about what kind of people would meet Zhuge Liang's standards.

Cao Cao's unification of the North was powerful enough, which did not meet Zhuge Liang's standards.

Sun Quan, a young man, dominates the east of the Yangtze River. He is young and promising, and does not meet Zhuge Liang's standards.

Liu Xiu's literary talent, martial arts and resourcefulness were outstanding, which still did not meet the standards of Zhuge.

In the end, what talent line?

Zhuge Liang said: "the Wise Lord I choose must trust me and put me in more importance. Even, I'm the only one he's planning. I need enough space to implement my governance policy. "

"Cao Cao is as cunning as a fox, and he is more adept at fighting. His own ability is excellent. Under his command, there are many talented people. If I were loyal to Cao Cao, I would not be able to stand out, nor would I have a chance in a short time. "

"Sun Quan is a good choice. He is a good servant and can be called a wise master. However, under Sun Quan's command, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were both important ministers of sun CE. I went to Jiangdong, and it's hard to be reused. "

"Liu Xiu has great potential, but he is not only good at strategy, but also good at martial arts. He has a strong sense of his own. After I went. In case of disagreement, whose opinion is the main one? If it comes to different political ideas, whose idea is the main one? "Zhuge Liang said: "compared with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Liu Xiu didn't give me much space. What I need is a person who can entrust me with military and political affairs and let me do my best without any hindrance. "

After a pause, Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Xiu has his own ideas, it is bound to be impossible to follow my ideas. If so, why see you again? Seeing each other is better than not seeing each other. On the contrary, we can leave our friendship. "

"Alas..."

After hearing this, Shi Tao could not help sighing.

After thinking about it, Meng Jian said, "Kong Ming, it's really hard for you to exert your talents."

Zhuge Liang said, "the time has not come. I believe it will."

Meng Jian shook his head and said, "even if we wait, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Time doesn't wait for us. Moreover, according to your opinion, we should entrust you with military and political affairs, let alone restrict your practice. In other words, we must trust you absolutely. Such a person is not ordinary people can do, and even, like a puppet day is not ordinary people want

Zhuge Liang said: "Jiang Taigong fishing, willing to take the bait, there are always people willing to."

Shi Tao laughed and said, "Meng Jian, you and I are worried too much. Kong Ming has his own plan. We will not get involved. "

Meng Jian changed his words and said, "Kong Ming, what do you think about Liu Xiu's visit to you county?"

Xiangge said: "this is a wonderful way to build a good foundation. Liu Xiu's move is a wonderful move. Among them, there is also Pang Shi's pushing hand. "

Shi Tao said with a smile, "Pang Shifu really paid a lot of attention to Liu Xiu, a close disciple."

Meng Jian said, "after all, he is a close disciple."

Zhuge Liang added: "although you county is an opportunity, it is also a crisis. Liu Xiu did a good job in you County, and he was able to form a foundation and base himself on Jingnan. If Liu Xiu makes a mistake, you county will be the place to bury the bones. "

Shi Tao asked, "does Kong Ming think that Liu Xiu has more opportunities to rise or to bury his bones?"

Zhuge Liang was silent when he heard the speech.

A moment later, Zhuge Liang said, "if Liu Xiu goes to you County of Changsha alone, there will be half the chance; if he has the help of Shi Yuan, there will be 70% chance of his rise; if Liu Xiu moves Yuan Zhi again, he will rise. Liu Xiu was able to run the army, Yuan Zhi was able to sort out the internal affairs, and the scholar yuan was good at strategy. With the joint efforts of the three, the situation in Jingnan will surely open up. "

Shi Tao and Meng Jian nodded and looked forward to each other.
