Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 526: Wolong Lazy Dragon?Sword and brocade clothing at night!

"After the Xiong family, it became the Zhan Ge family, and then the people of Qi incorrectly named Zhan Ge as Zhuge!"

—— "Shiben Family Name Article"

When mentioning Zhuge Liang, one has to mention the Zhuge clan.

Speaking of which, the Zhuge family is an ancient surname. Zhuge Liang was not originally called Zhuge Liang, but Zhan Geliang, but... this surname was called Zhuanyin'er by Qi people, so there was a Zhuge family.

And there was also a famous figure in the Zhuge family - Zhuge Feng!

As an official under Emperor Han Yuan, he had a strong temperament. When he was a lieutenant of Sili, he would investigate who and expose whom, and he was completely ruthless!
At that time, the people imitated the tone of the high officials of the day, and would say... "Why haven't I seen you for a long time? Oh, don't mention it, I was called to drink tea by Mr. Zhugefeng."

Speaking of it...according to the historical trajectory, Cao Cao never had a single word of evaluation for Zhuge Liang in his life, but Cao Cao did not hesitate to praise Zhuge Feng.

——"The people under me dare to have bad thoughts because there is no one like Zhuge Feng who can see through the conspiracy and stop the crime!"

In history, when Xu Shu recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, he also introduced him in this way.

——"This person is from Yangdu of Langya, his surname is Zhuge, his name is Liang, and his style name is Kongming. He is the descendant of Zhuge Feng, the captain of the Han Sili school!"

It can be seen from this, how resounding Zhuge Feng's reputation was in the past!

Zhuge Liang in history was born in the same year as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie.

Just like Liu Xie is the second child of the royal family, Zhuge Liang is also the second child. Both he and Liu Xie lost their mothers when they were young. When they grew up, they both lost their fathers when they were young. , It can be regarded as another kind of friendship of "living together and dying together"!

only…

The difference between Zhuge Liang and Liu Xie is that.

One gave up his own world to others, and the other took a third of the huge world and dedicated it to his lord.

"Who is the first to realize the big dream? I know it all my life."

"Caotang is full of sleep in spring, and the sun is getting late outside the window."

At this moment... Zhuge Liang in the thatched cottage stretched his waist, saw Huang Yueying standing on the head of the bed, there seemed to be a touch of complicated emotions in his eyes, and immediately asked: "Why did you have such an expression, is there a vulgar visitor?"

Huang Yueying paused for a moment...

"There are vulgar visitors, it's the 'fake' Kong Ming, and it's the real 'Zhuge Jun'!"

hear here...

Zhuge Liang got up suddenly.

"Brother Jun is here? Where is the person? Where is the person..."

He didn't have time to change clothes, so he ran towards the main hall immediately, looking extremely eager.

...

...

Jingzhou, Xiangyang City, a post house.

In the two copybooks, Liu Biao and Liu Bei were the guest of honor sitting on their knees...

Three bottles of wine down.

Liu Biao couldn't help but sighed, "Xuande, I haven't seen you in half a year, but you've gained weight! You're full of vigor and plump."

"Minggong..." Liu Bei put down the wine bottle. "I'm over 40 years old, I have no merit, no space, only the flesh is resurrected!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei sighed and said with emotion: "Mediocrity, the sun and the moon are wasted, old age is coming!"

"Xuande...you are just forty and feel that old age is approaching, and I am nearly sixty, so what should I do?" Liu Biao also felt emotional.

In this troubled world, because of corvee and natural disasters, very few men can live to be 60 years old.

You know, there were three kinds of military service for men in the Han Dynasty. The first one was to serve in the imperial capital of Luoyang for a period of two years!
The second is to go to the frontier to guard the border. Although it only takes three days, because of the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, the round-trip journey often takes more than half a year.

The third is to serve in the local military for one month a year, starting at the age of 23 and ending at the age of 56.

Military service, combined with onerous taxes, almost drained the man's body.

Not to mention 60 years old, even [-] years old is considered a long life!

Of course, in today's troubled times, there is no need to perform these military services, but for Liu Bei, he will accomplish nothing in half his life... It always makes him feel uncomfortable.

"Xuande, I have invited you here today for a business! I have endured it for many years, and I am in so much distress!" Liu Biao deliberately moved closer to Liu Bei. "I want you to fight for me."

"Duke Ming mentioned Cao Cao's Northern Expedition?" Liu Bei asked.

"Yes and no."

Before Liu Bei could ask again, Liu Biao's voice came out again. "I have two sons. The eldest son, Liu Qi, was born to my ex-wife. Although he is kind, he has a weak personality, and it is difficult for him to do great things! The second son, Liu Cong, was born to my step-wife. In charge of the Neifu, his younger brother Cai Mao is also the top general of Jingzhou, the two of them advised me many times to abolish the elders and replace the younger ones, they put me in a difficult position!"

This…

Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned suddenly. "Did Minggong forget why Cao Cao was able to break through the natural moat of the Yellow River and go north to attack Yuan?"

"Isn't it because Yuan Shao abolished the elders and established the younger ones, which led to Xiao Qiang's misfortune, and the Yuan brothers turned against each other, which was exactly what Lu Ziyu planned! The defense line along the Yellow River in the northern border collapsed in an instant. Minggong... forgive me! Abandon Changli Young, since ancient times, it has been the way to seek disaster! What's more, you have already said that Liu Qi is a good man!"

Speaking of which…

"Tap..."

The two maidservants walked briskly and brought two jugs of wine. This wine was newly bought by Xu Du Taixue, and Liu Biao liked it the most.

The two maidservants served wine, filled Liu Bei and Liu Biao respectively, and drifted away...

However, one of the maids looked back at Liu Bei.

And this detail, Liu Bei noticed.

After the maidservant leaves...

Liu Biao took a sip of wine. "Oh," he sighed. "Brother Xuande, even if I intend to establish Liu Qi, the Cai family is a prominent family in Jingzhou, powerful and powerful. If they don't want to, I'm afraid they will turn against each other and bring trouble to Xiao Qiang!"

Let's talk about this.

Liu Bei didn't dare to say any more, he raised his wine bottle. "Duke Ming, today is the Chongyang Ninth Ninth Festival. You should climb high and look far away... Besides, Duke Ming is in his prime, so why talk about these things? I wish the family in your mansion harmony and Jingzhou peace and prosperity!"

...

...

Outside Jingzhou, in the thatched cottage.

On a table, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun sat kneeling on both sides, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Jun, and Zhuge Jun also looked at Zhuge Liang.

Counting it down, the two brothers haven't seen each other for almost ten years, so think about it!

Zhuge Liang looked extremely excited.

"Brother Jun, these years, the name 'Kong Ming' of Brother Yu has shocked Kyushu, and lying in this thatched hut for my brother, I feel ashamed for a while!"

Zhuge Liang spoke first...

Zhuge Jun smiled slightly and said, "How are you doing these years, brother? When I came here to Nanyang Port, I heard that Pang Degong, a well-known Jingxiang scholar, called his brother "Wolong" and Mr. Sima Hui "Shuijing". Pang Tong, his nephew, called it 'Feng Chu', which shows that my brother has not just slept in this thatched hut all these years!"

Mature, atmospheric, stable!

This is Zhuge Liang's most intuitive feeling towards Zhuge Jun. He has grown up... he is no longer the kid who always asked his elder brother about everything in the past.

Especially those eyes, which are extraordinarily deep, as if they have insight and understanding of everything.

Come to think of it, Brother Jun has benefited a lot from Yinlin's side these years!

"Hahaha…"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Brother Jun was joking, what is Wolong, it's just Pang Degong's Miao Zan. In today's troubled times, I am dedicated to plowing the long fields. Gou Quan lives in the troubled times. I don't want to be known to the princes. This Wolong actually means lazy dragon." Forget it, haha!"

Well…

Hearing this, Zhuge Jun didn't answer immediately, but paused for a while.

He looked around...

"The two wooden yellow dogs outside the courtyard are probably sister-in-law's masterpiece?"

Zhuge Jun is proficient in "wooden art" among all kinds of crafts. He was very surprised when he saw this "wooden yellow dog" when he first entered the hospital. After asking the boy, he found out that it was the masterpiece of Wolong's wife Huang Yueying.

only…

Hearing what Zhuge Jun said, Zhuge Liang was slightly surprised.

Did Jundi recognize such a realistic "wooden dog" at a glance?

You know, when Zhuge Liang visited Huang Chengyan's house for the first time in the past, there was an anecdote...

That time, when he entered Jingxiang for the first time, Zhuge Liang was invited to go to Huang's mansion. He never thought that the second gate was closed tightly. Zhuge Liang knocked twice curiously, and the door opened...but two dogs rushed out.

One was covered in pitch black, and the other was as white as snow, barking and pounced on him.

Zhuge Liang wanted to get out, but he couldn't open the door. The two dogs jumped up and down, so anxious that he blocked from left to right.

At this time, a woman ran out from inside and patted the dog on the forehead. The two dogs immediately squatted on the ground and stopped moving. He twisted the ears of the two dogs, and they ran back to the flower bed. .

Zhuge Liang felt strange, followed to see that the dog was made of wood, with dog skin sewn on the outside.

He hurriedly asked the servant girl, who did this?The maid smiled and ran away.

And this servant girl is now his wife Huang Yueying, and these two wooden dogs are naturally her masterpiece.

In the Huang Mansion, there are not only wooden dogs, but also wooden tigers. All these skills... Huang Yueying's talent is not weaker than Zhuge Jun's, and her wooden skills are even unreal.

"That's right..." Zhuge Liang said: "Brother Jun is also good at carpentry, so he can see through this wooden dog at a glance, but I made a fuss out of a molehill."

"Brother..." Zhuge Jun expressed his feelings directly. "My brother can probably guess the purpose of my visit this time!"

Zhuge Jun didn't finish his sentence...

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes suddenly, and he waved his hand. "My brother has made many close friends here in Nanyang Port, one of them is Cui Zhouping, a famous scholar in Boling, my brother always chats with him about the current situation on the stone in the forest, and he always advises me to live in peace Well, the general trend of the world is that too long of governance will lead to chaos, and chaos will lead to governance.”

"Nowadays, the Han family has been at peace for a long time, and it has come to a time of turmoil. Why do you need to go out to mediate the world and repair the universe, and waste your energy? People who follow the will of heaven can live more easily, and people who go against the trend live hard. Brother Jun, what do you think of Cui Zhouping's words?"

Hey…

Zhuge Jun's eyes opened in vain. He also believed in God's will at first, thinking...the Zhuge clan fled from Langya, and their brothers fled in all directions, all of this was God's will.

But now, he doesn't feel it anymore. The longer he stays with his master Lu Yu, the more intuitively he can feel the four words:
——Man can conquer nature!
"Haha..." Zhuge Jun laughed, and after laughing loudly, he shook his head, and looked at Zhuge Liang again with his eyes. "Brother, Gou Quan died in troubled times, this is not the way you chose!"

Well…

Zhuge Liang also raised his eyes.

Zhuge Jun's voice continued. "Before I came here, Master Lu told me that Kong Ming would use this as a prevarication of 'not seeking to be known to the princes', but Master Lu is good at spying on people's hearts. Even if he has never met his brother, he already knows his ambition. .”

"Ambition?" Zhuge Liang repeated these two words...

"That's right." Zhuge Jun nodded. "In the past, when our brother Langya parted, my uncle Zhugexuan took his cousin Zhugeyan to the north, the eldest brother Zhugejin took his stepmother to the south of Jiangdong, and the second brother took two sisters to Jingzhou to seek refuge... But now, the second brother is deeply cultivating here. After many years of strategizing, if this is not a success, it will be a hit!"

Many people have suggested that the three Zhuge brothers are loyal to the three forces, why don't they fight side by side?
actually…

This is the way of survival of the family. If the family wants to survive, it cannot bet on orphans. Otherwise, if the entire army is wiped out, the family will be finished.

Scattered, a little fire can always be left behind, and this little fire can breed a raging fire in the future.

In this regard, ancient times are different from later generations.

People in later generations pay special attention to personal destiny, but people in ancient times subtly tied their own destiny to the chariot of the family. Facing the current situation with surging undercurrents, the family members must form a group!

Of course... this is not important.

The important thing is:

——If you don't sing, you're done.

Zhuge Liang didn't interrupt, but squinted his eyes, listening carefully to Zhuge Jun's words.

"Before coming to Jingzhou, Master Lu told me that when my elder brother came to Jingzhou to avoid disaster, the current situation in Jingzhou was controlled by five families, the Pond family, the Xi family, the Huang family, the Kuai family, and the Cai family!"

"The Pang family is headed by Pang Degong, the Kuai family is headed by Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers, the Huang family is Huang Chengyan, the Xi family is Xi Zhen, Xi Xun, and Xi Zhu, and the Cai family is Cai Xi!"

Having said this, Zhuge Jun paused. "The elder brother made a plan to marry the elder sister to Kuai Qi, the son of the Kuai family, the second elder sister to Pang Shanmin, the eldest son of Pang Degong, and the elder brother to marry Huang Yueying, the daughter of Huang Chengyan from the Huang family, and Huang Yueying is the granddaughter of Cai Xi from the Cai family! The five major families Four of them are closely related to my brother!"

Zhuge Jun talked eloquently, with reasons and evidence.

actually…

Not the four families, the Xi clan in Jingzhou also has a close relationship with Zhuge Liang.

You know, Pang Anmin, the eldest son of the Pang family, married Zhuge Liang's second sister, but the second son of the Pang family married the daughter of the Xi clan in Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang's second sister was related to the Xi clan.

In this way, Zhuge Liang is inextricably linked with the five major Jingxiang families.

"It is for this reason that Duke Pang De will "Pin Zao" for his elder brother and call him Wolong, and Sima Hui will also strongly recommend his elder brother. In this way, the elder brother is said to be "holding the sword and brocade clothes at night." It’s not an exaggeration, I’m just patiently waiting for the Ming Lord!”

Zhuge Jun said it well...

According to Zhuge Liang's background and political capital, how could he live in peace and happiness?
Gou Quan's life is fine in troubled times!
It doesn't matter if you don't want to be heard and reached among the princes!
These are all to increase their social status!
The so-called "up for sale"!
hiss…

Hearing Zhuge Jun's words, Zhuge Liang's eyes narrowed, and his heart trembled subconsciously.

Even if he had some understanding of this "Lu Ziyu" who was good at attacking the mind before, but... he described his behavior and his heart so clearly, if such a person is an opponent, it is indeed a bit scary!

call…

Take a long exhale.

Zhuge Liang said: "These are really what Lu Ziyu said?"

"If it wasn't the master? Who else could it be?" Zhuge Jun opened his eyes wide, and said again: "Master Lu also knows that my brother has developed the habit of watching "Zuo Zhuan" over the years!"

"I said that my elder brother is very enthusiastic and respectful of the 'people-oriented' thought in "Zuo Zhuan". If it is not restricted by the current situation, the master would like to go south to chat with my brother in detail about "Zuo Zhuan" and talk about the "generals" in it. Xing, listen to the people'!"

Huo…

If the previous "up for sale" is nothing!
But... When "Zuo Zhuan", when "people-oriented", when "the country will prosper, listen to the people" these words blurted out.

Under Zhuge Liang's calm appearance, his mood was already turbulent, with ups and downs.

He has a feeling that even though he has been in this Longzhong all these years, his state of mind still has not escaped the prying eyes of that Yin Lin.

——What a terrifying Yinlin!

——What a terrifying art of spying on people's hearts!

certainly…

As for Lu Yu's "Zuo Zhuan", it was an inference drawn by later generations based on Zhuge Liang's behavior.

As much as Guan Yu likes to read "Spring and Autumn", Zhuge Liang likes to read "Zuo Zhuan", and "Zuo Zhuan" uses the history of Lu as a clue to record important historical facts of the Spring and Autumn countries.

Among them, it focuses on the political, military, economic, legal, diplomatic, cultural, calendar, astronomical, and customs of each vassal state.

These have benefited Zhuge Liang a lot.

The rest are like the thoughts of "people-oriented" and "rule of law". ", "Politicians, do not reward private labor, do not punish private enmity" are all influenced by "Zuo Zhuan".

"Zuo Zhuan" also emphasizes the important role of talents. Zhuge Liang also paid special attention to the use and cultivation of talents when he governed Shu.

As for "Zuo Zhuan", there are also military thoughts, such as "a teacher comes out with discipline, and if he loses discipline, he will be fierce", "the army has no practice, and a hundred is not worth one, but practice and use it, one can be a hundred!" body, and the person behind him will be all brave!"

These also had an important impact on the establishment of the military system in Zhuge Liang's mind.

There is also Wei Wengong's agricultural thought of "training farmers with materials, and promoting business and benefiting industry";

The diplomatic thinking of "being kind to benevolent neighbors is the treasure of the country", "the auxiliary vehicles depend on each other, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold";

And among them, "Zhu Zhiwu Retreats from the Qin Master" and "Lu Xiangjue Qin" and other examples of verbal attacks have had a profound impact on Zhuge Liang.

This is why he insisted on forming an alliance with Wu to fight against Cao Wei.

Why, he was able to verbalize the group of Confucians, and his verbal skills were astonishing!
Of course... Zhuge Liang never leaked the content learned in "Zuo Zhuan".

This made him feel infinitely complicated towards Lu Yu.

It turns out to be so terrifying to spy on people's hearts and attack the enemy's heart!
...

...

Xu Ducheng, the school affairs office.

"Is there any news from Zhuge Jun?" Lu Yu asked this first when he entered the school office...

"Not yet." Guo Jia put down the copybook in his hand and replied truthfully.

Seeing Lu Yu's rather solemn expression, Guo Jia added another question. "Ziyu seems to be very enthusiastic about this 'True Kongming'? It used to be like this, and it is still like this today... Could it be that this person has the talent of the world?"

"You're really right." Lu Yu's tone was serious. "This man...others compare him to Guan Zhong and Le Yi!"

Huo…

Hearing this, Guo Jia narrowed his eyes, and said with emotion: "Guan Zhong and Le Yi's reputation is overwhelming, Ziyu compares this person to them, isn't it too much?"

"Ha ha…"

Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled and shook his head. "Where is this? If Feng Xiao wants to hear it, how about I tell you some folklore about him?"

Well…

Folk legend?

Guo Jia suddenly became interested.

Of course, how did he know that later generations passed on Zhuge Liang so miraculously that Lu Yu alone knew no fewer than a hundred legends.

but…

In many legends, it is also pointed to clearly.

From Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui, Zhuge Liang learned the art of vertical and horizontal.

From the old man Huang Chengyan, Zhuge Liang learned the art of war.

From the saying "There is no general in Shu, Liao Hua is the vanguard", from Liao Hua's grandfather 'Liao Jiugong', Zhuge Liang learned various strategies for dealing with emergencies, including the empty city strategy.

From Mr. Pang De, he got the name "Crouching Dragon".

So... here comes the problem.

From Huang Yueying, what has he learned and mastered?

...
