Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 74 Three visits to the cottage, Kong Ming came out of the mountain

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he waited for Lan Tian's reaction, because Kong Ming was a bit more crazy than wind music, which made him a joke among the local scholars.

Literati are mostly relatives, and the only close friends are Xu Shu and Cui Jun, who agree that Kong Ming has a talent comparable to wind music.

Lan Tian cooked the meat calmly, not feeling anything wrong at all, as if Xu Shu was describing the established facts.

Xu Shu couldn't help secretly praising Lan Tian's magnanimity, and continued: "Kong clearly has the talents of the world, if I go to invite him, he may not be willing to show it, the lord may go in person."

"Brother-in-law is so thirsty for talent, how can he be too tired? Yuan Zhi can recommend him as soon as possible." Lan Tian laughed.

"My lord has added a daughter, who is enjoying the family relationship, how about recommending it in the next year?" Xu Shu asked again.

Lan Tian picked up a piece of mutton, scalded it up and down in the pot a few times, and then said: "The situation in this world is like this mutton. There will be great changes in a moment. Yuan Zhi should be sooner rather than later."

Xu Shu heard that he was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Ziyu's wine and meat are excellent, but it's a pity that the three generals are not here, so there is less fun to fight for."

"Haha, when Mr. Kong Ming is invited, I'll buy a few more sheep, let's have a good drink, then we might as well ask Shang Lingtang to join us." Lan Tian raised his glass and said.

Xu Shu also raised his glass and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of borrowing Ziyu's mutton to honor my mother."

When Mi Zhen gave birth to a daughter, Xin Ye's staff prepared gifts and came to Liu Bei's residence to congratulate her.

Xu Shu took the opportunity to recommend Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei. After hearing this, Liu Bei said excitedly, "I heard the name of Wolong earlier, but I don't know how he compares to Yuanzhi?"

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "How dare I compare myself to Kong Ming? It's like a poor horse is compared to a unicorn, and a jackdaw is compared to a phoenix. This man often compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and he is a genius in the world."

At this time Guan Yu snorted coldly and said: "Although a certain person is not talented, he has also read "Spring and Autumn". Guan Zhong helped Duke Huan of Qi become the overlord, and Le Yi assisted the weak Yan State to capture more than [-] cities in Qi State. Zhuge Liang met these two people. Bi, I think he must be an exaggerated madman."

Xu Shu laughed and said, "I think Kong Ming's talent is not only comparable to wind music, but also comparable to the other two."

"Which two people?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"Lu Wang from Zhou, Zhang Liang from Han." Xu Shu said firmly.

It was recommended by Sima Hui before, and now it is fiercely praised by the military advisor Xu Shu. Liu Bei said happily: "Dare to trouble Yuan Zhi, please come and meet me."

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "This man is not to be subdued, the Lord needs to ask for it in person."

"It should be so." Liu Bei straightened his clothes and was about to set off immediately.

It was almost noon at this time, Guan Yu persuaded: "Now that the New Year is approaching, and my niece has just been born, why don't we go to visit after the beginning of spring?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Time doesn't wait, second brother, you go and prepare presents, and the three of my brothers will go with Yuan Zhi."

Seeing this, Xu Shu also persuaded: "It's getting late today, why don't we set off tomorrow morning."

"Just what Yuanzhi said." Liu Bei stood on the spot and paced back and forth, more excited than having a daughter.

After Xu Shu returned home, he revised a letter, and rushed to Longzhong, west of Xiangyang, to give a brief introduction of Liu Bei's going.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Guanzhang and Xu Shu rushed to Longzhong on light horses.

The four went there while they were excited, and when they arrived, a boy answered the door, saying that Zhuge Kongming had gone out, and the date of return was undecided, and then closed the chaimen, and they didn't even drink their saliva.

"Yuanzhi, the New Year is approaching, where can Mr. Wolong go?" Liu Bei wondered.

"Ahem, Kong Ming has a lot of friends in Xiangyang, and I don't know where they are going." Xu Shu was a little depressed. Could it be because I delivered the letter yesterday?I wanted you to prepare, but you were not at home.

"Brother, since Wolong's return date has not been fixed, we might as well return early." Guan Yu reminded.

"Okay, let's come back later." Liu Bei nodded.

Seeing everyone returning empty-handed, Lan Tian was a little puzzled, thinking that with Xu Yuanzhi going the same way, Zhuge Kongming would have to look around?

During the Chinese New Year, Gan Qian gave birth on a snowy night. Lan Tian thought it was A Dou who was born, but it turned out to be a daughter too.

Years later, Liu Bei was going to Wollongong in the snow to show his sincerity in seeking talents. Xu Shu originally wanted to invite Lan Tian to go with him, but he refused because Gan Qian was weak after giving birth and wanted to stay in Xinye to take care of her.

This time Xu Shu didn't notify in advance, Liu Bei finally met Zhuge Liang, Kong Ming gave him the first impression that he was very young.

Guan Zhang kept warm by the stove in the corridor, while Liu Bei, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang were cooking wine and talking about world affairs in the thatched hut.

Liu Bei's words revealed that Jingzhou was unwilling to seize Liu Biao, so Zhuge Liang did not come up with the Longzhong pair.

Zhuge Liang declined Liu Bei's invitation, saying that he was not talented enough to help Liu Bei help the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei's posture was extremely low in order to seek virtue, Zhang Fei was so angry that he rushed out of the door, picked up the whip and whipped the small tree outside the courtyard.

On the way back, Guan Yu said, "Could it be that Kong Mingzhi is too talented and that's why he doesn't want to come out to help?"

Liu Bei bowed his head and said nothing, Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Kong Ming has real talents and practical learning, and I don't know why he declined."

"Brother, the snow is in a hurry, it's better to come back early, I want to find Lan Ziyu to eat hot-boiled mutton." Zhang Fei changed the subject.

The last time Xu Shu ate boiled mutton, he accidentally slipped his mouth, and this delicacy spread.

Xu Shu heard Zhang Fei mentioning Lantian, and said thoughtfully, "Maybe Ziyu has a way."

Liu Bei echoed, "I hope Ziyu can invite Kong Ming out, and let's hurry back to Xinye."

"I'll lead the way." Zhang Fei whipped his horse, and everyone followed with a smile.

Lan Tian was also shocked when he heard the news of Kong Ming's refusal, and wondered if it must be done three times?Or is it that the three-point world has not yet come out?

In March, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Lan Tian was going to direct the spring plowing in Dengjiazhuang, but the matter of inviting Kong Ming out of the mountain has not yet been completed, so he went to Wollongong with everyone.

Seeing that Liu Bei came back with sincerity, Zhuge Liang led everyone into the room to drink tea.

At this moment, Guan Zhang was waiting in the courtyard, while Xu Shu and Lan Tian sat kneeling on either side of Liu Bei.

"It's a great honor for the general to come back, this is..." Zhuge Liang asked, pointing to Lan Tian.

Xu Shu introduced: "This is Lantian, whose name is Ziyu, and it is currently farming in Xinye for the lord."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "This is the famous blue jade? Liang has heard of it for a long time."

Lan Tian bowed his hands and greeted him. Zhuge Liang seemed to talk more than last time. Sometimes he talked about the past and the present, and sometimes he talked about the current world. Whether intentionally or not, he asked Lan Tian to express his views.

After all, Lan Tian had thousands of years of experience, so his answer was so smooth, Zhuge Liang was amazed.

The two sang and harmonized like a bosom friend in a high mountain and flowing water, as if they were close friends spanning thousands of years.

"Mr. is a genius in the world, how can he be empty and old under Lin Quan? Although Bei does not try his best to help the Han Dynasty, I hope that Mr. will take the common people of the world into consideration and come out to help Bei." Liu Bei pleaded again.

Zhuge Liang pointed at Lantian, shook his head and sighed: "The general has great talents, I think he will be able to rule the world sooner or later, why invite this mountain villager?"

Lan Tian can understand, Zhou Yu is Ji Shengyu and He Shengliang, are you worried about Ji Shengliang and He Shengtian?
He hastily cupped his hands and said: "Although Tian has little wisdom, he has no general plan. I can farm and grow grain for the lord, but to plan and plan the world, you need a great talent like sir."

At this moment, Xu Shu also nodded in affirmation, Zhuge Liang laughed loudly and said: "Yuanzhi boasted that Ziyu's aura is extraordinary, and the test just now really lived up to his reputation, the lord is really a blessed person."

Master?Liu Bei's head was buzzing.

Lan Tian poked the dazed Liu Bei with his hand, happiness came too suddenly.

Zhuge Liang bowed his head and said: "Thanks to the kindness of the general's three visits, Liang is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse, do his best, and die."
