Journey to the West, this Sun Wukong is too persuasive

Chapter 258 Willing to be a foster father and looking for Zhuge Liang

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian?
Sun Wukong's eyes passed over the three of them. As Zhihu netizens said, these people had their own luck, and some of them were already prosperous.

Two of the three people at the top of the Han Dynasty's power are the leaders of the three major groups mentioned by netizens just now, Cao Cao of the Cao Wei Group and Liu Bei of the Shu Han Group.

Sun Jian was not mentioned by netizens, but he has the same surname as Sun Quan, so he is probably related by blood.

At this moment, Cao, Liu, and Sun could only see Liu Xiu, and they all looked with admiration at the king who had revived the Han Dynasty.

In the past 200 years, the human king Liu Xiu has become a high mountain in the Han Dynasty, a mythical existence, and there are too many legends circulating.

Although they are the prime ministers of the Han Dynasty, they have only seen Liu Xiu a handful of times. Now that they see him, they are inevitably excited.

At this time, Liu Xiu said to them: "I have called you here because Wu Zu has something to ask."

Wuzu?

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian were even more shocked. This is a legend that only exists in history books and myths and legends!

According to historical records, in the first year of Jianwu of the Han Dynasty, that is, 180 years ago, when the human king Liu Xiu had just revived the Han Dynasty, he saw Emperor Ziwei in Weiyang Palace. He drank a pot of immortal wine and was taught various Dharma. He was shocked to hear how vast the world was. As a result, the great man's fortune flourished.

In the 31st year of Jianwu, with the help of Emperor Ziwei, the human king Liu Xiu decreed that the dragon clan and all clans should be designated as human totems to show humanity, establish the destiny of the dynasty, destroy the heaven and punish them, and the heaven and earth would change color.

In the 80th year of Jianwu's founding, the human king Liu Xiu was able to teach martial arts methods and promoted them throughout the world. He respected Sun Wukong, the great emperor of Ziwei, as the ancestor of martial arts.

For more than a hundred years, although there was a Wuzu Palace in Chang'an City, no one had ever seen Wuzu.

Unexpectedly, they were summoned by Martial Ancestor today!
call!
They saw ripples in the void in the hall, and a figure in golden armor appeared in front of them.

After the three people saw it, they thought that they were indeed the Monkey King, and they quickly saluted: "Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian pay their respects to Martial Ancestor!"

Sun Wukong nodded, and explained the situation in Hezhou, Xiniu again, and finally said: "Now that the Tianzhu Dynasty has been established in the west, it will definitely compete with the Han Dynasty in the future. I am here to remind you to make plans in advance."

The three of them looked at each other, and Liu Bei took the lead and said: "Martial Ancestor, Your Majesty the King, if the West dares to attack our great nation, I will defend my territory to the death!"

Sun Jian clasped his fists and said: "Our Han Dynasty is far more powerful than the Western countries. Instead of waiting for the enemy to invade, it is better to take the initiative and invade Xiniu Hezhou!"

Cao Cao thought for a while and then said: "Ancestor Wu, my Han Dynasty has actually had contacts with some kingdoms in Xiniu Hezhou for a long time.

When Marquis Dingyuan conquered the Western Regions, he marched into Xiniuhezhou and occupied the Baoxiang and Uszang kingdoms. Finally, the army was blocked in Huangfengling and then retreated.

But in the next hundred years, we have been doing business with those Western kingdoms close to the Han Dynasty, so we are no strangers to them.

According to the information collected over the years, it can be seen that the terrain of Xiniu Hezhou is complex, and most demons and humans live together. In some mountains, rivers and swamps between countries, demons are often entrenched.

If you really want to become an enemy of Xiniu Hezhou, these are thorny issues that need to be considered. "

After listening to this, Sun Wukong had a general impression of the three of them. In terms of ability, Cao Cao seemed to be the strongest, but since Liu Bei and Sun Jian could serve as cabinet ministers, they must be outstanding.

Later, he asked about those awesome people mentioned by netizens.

The three of them were all surprised. Why would Martial Ancestor care about this?
But they still answered truthfully.

Liu Bei said: "Martial Ancestor, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are my sworn brothers, as well as Zhao Yun, Fazheng... and others. Although they often obey my orders, they are all Han officials."

Sun Jian said: "The Sun Quan Wu Zu mentioned is my younger son, Zhou Yu is the brother-in-law of my eldest son Sun Ce, and Taishi Ci, Gan Ning... and others are all under my account."

Cao Cao said unhurriedly: "To the Emperor Wu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia... Dian Wei, Xu Chu... and others are all serving under my command."

Sun Wukong understands that this seems to be the historical inertia mentioned by Zhihu netizens. Even if the timeline has changed, these heroes all belong to the three major groups in the original timeline.

This is probably the reason why Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian became prime ministers. After all, they were originally the leaders of the three major groups.

However, he did not hear the three people mention the names of Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others. These people were all mentioned emphatically by Zhihu netizens.

So Sun Wukong asked again: "Where is Lu Bu?"

After hearing this, the expressions of the three people changed. They could all tell that Wu Zu seemed to care more about Lu Bu!
Liu Xiu smiled beside him and said: "Master, the Lu Bu you are talking about is quite famous now. He is the strongest martial arts genius in our country since the introduction of martial arts.

His talent is no worse than that of the Bull Demon King. After practicing for more than thirty years, he has reached the state of perfection, only one step away from becoming a god. "

"Oh?" Sun Wukong suddenly became interested, "Hurry up and ask him to come see me."

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian looked at each other with different expressions.

Soon, a tall and mighty figure rushed into Wuzu Palace, looking very excited.

But when he discovered that Cao, Liu, and Sun were also there, Lu Bu's face immediately became serious.

When he saw the human king Liu Xiu, he bowed respectfully.

At the same time, he glanced curiously at the Monkey King next to him. He had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure.

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Lu Bu, Emperor Wu specially called you here today, why don't you come and pay your respects quickly?"

Lu Bu hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to Martial Ancestor!"

Sun Wukong looked at it and praised with a smile: "He is really a martial arts genius."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up and he fell to the ground again: "Martial Ancestor, Bu has devoted his whole life to martial arts. If Wu Ancestor never gives up, Bu is willing to worship him as his adoptive father!"

Cao, Liu, and Sun looked at each other, speechless, and even a little worried.

Liu Xiu also smiled and shook his head. In his eyes, these are the young heroes of the human race. It is of course interesting to watch the younger generations compete with each other.

Sun Wukong laughed loudly. No wonder the advice given by the persuasion system was the difficulty of the second-level treasure chest. Then he nodded and said: "Being an adopted son is not possible, but being an apprentice with me is okay."

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this. Becoming a master once and being a father forever is much more reliable than worshiping a foster father. He quickly kowtowed and saluted: "Disciple, pay homage to the master!"

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian were in very complicated moods. They were envious, jealous, and resentful. They also couldn't understand why Wu Zu would accept a brainless man as his apprentice, just because he was talented in martial arts?
At this time, Sun Wukong said again: "I heard people say that Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are quite intelligent. I wonder if they can be officials in the court?"

Cao Cao said: "Ancestor Wu, these two are not officials in the court. Zhuge Liang does not know where he is from, but Sima Yi has long been famous and is a young member of the Sima family."

Liu Bei and Sun Jian also said they had never heard of Zhuge Liang.

Lu Bu said: "Master, I can search all over the world and bring him to Master!"

Sun Wukong only regarded his disciple as a filial piety, and also understood that Zhuge Liang was probably young and had not yet gained fame.

Then, he asked Cao, Liu, and Sun to make statistics on the martial arts cultivation and weapons status of the generals in the court, and prepare to start a furnace to refine weapons and make a batch of magic weapons for everyone.

But the three of them did not leave immediately. Instead, they stayed in the palace and asked Sun Wukong for martial arts training together with Lu Bu.

After a while, the four people left with unfinished business.

Sun Wukong looked at their backs and said with a smile: "They are all interesting juniors. The human race is about to usher in a greater prosperity."

Liu Xiu praised: "The great man is what he is today, all thanks to his master."

... Since Liu Xiu almost completely delegated power, the Han cabinet had great power. The three prime ministers had their own teams, which usually coordinated and supervised each other.

If the imperial power weakens, this system will naturally have big problems.

However, the Han Dynasty was a dynasty of fortune, and Liu Xiu had always been the king of human beings and was respected by countless descendants. Therefore, for 200 years, there had been no major turmoil in the dynasty.

After Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan returned home, they immediately set out to find Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

In Cao Cao's house, all the advisers and generals learned about what happened in Wuzu Palace. They were all surprised and wished they could see Wuzu and the human king.

Xun Yu said: "Prime Minister, I, the Han Dynasty, have a century-old talent plan to recruit talents from all over the world. Since Zhuge Liang was specially named by Emperor Wu, his ability should be good, and he may be included in the talent plan.
If you check the rosters reported in various places, you may be able to find his whereabouts and bring him under the Prime Minister's command. "

Cao Cao was holding a bowl of rice, flipping through a book, and said without raising his head: "I asked Chen Qun to check on the road just now. In addition, I quickly sent someone to Sima Fang's house to invite Sima Yi."

Xun Yu made a promise and took the order to leave.

Then another counselor came forward and said: "Prime Minister, General Wei has worshiped Ancestor Wu as his disciple, so he has to guard against it."

Many people nodded in agreement. Lu Bu was now the general of the Han army, and the positions of higher-ranking hussar generals and generals were vacant. Therefore, Lu Bu was the highest-ranking person in the Han army.

Once you go further, you will be qualified to join the cabinet.

Cao Cao looked at an elegant young man next to him and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think?"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "I am a big man who has always been a meritocracy. If we look at his family background, then someone from the Yuan family who has four generations and three fathers has already joined the cabinet."

After hearing this, everyone no longer worried.

In Liu Bei's house, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others were also very surprised and worried about Lu Bu's apprenticeship. They all knew that Lu Bu had always coveted the position of prime minister in the cabinet.

An adviser said: "If General Wei enters the cabinet, he will definitely endanger the prime minister."

Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Brother, why don't you let me fight with Lu Bu again? I will definitely disgrace him and make him lose the shame to seek the position of prime minister in the cabinet again."

Guan Yu frowned: "What a reckless man."

Liu Bei sighed in his heart. Compared with Cao Cao and Sun Jian, he still lacked a mastermind.

Although it was unlikely that Lu Bu would join the cabinet even if he became a disciple, he was still worried because Lu Bu was too powerful after all.

At this time, Xu Shu came back from outside. After understanding the matter clearly, he smiled and said: "Prime Minister, in addition to being outstanding in one's own talents, the prime minister of my great Han Dynasty also needs to see whether he has the ability to lead the world.

Although General Wei is brave, he has no ability to lead the world, and his chances of joining the cabinet are too slim. "

Liu Bei nodded and felt relieved.

Xu Shu smiled again and said: "As for the whereabouts of Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister no longer needs to send people to find it. I became friends with Zhuge Liang when I traveled in the early years, and I have long known that he is a resourceful man."

Liu Bei immediately became interested: "Resourceful?"

Xu Shu bowed and said, "I am about to make a recommendation to the Prime Minister. Zhuge Liang can make plans for the Prime Minister."

Liu Bei patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, where is he now?"

Xu Shu said: "He studied under Mr. Shui Jing. Now he has just arrived in Chang'an and has to take the imperial examination. I just went out to pick him up and wash away his dust."

Liu Bei quickly said: "Then go and invite him to see me."

Xu Shu shook his head: "Zhuge Kongming is Wolong. You can meet this person, but you cannot force him to come. The prime minister should put down his identity and go see him in person."

Liu Bei followed the advice and went to the restaurant where Zhuge Liang was staying temporarily in Chang'an.

However, Zhuge Liang refused to meet him on the grounds that the imperial examination was about to take place.

Liu Bei could only give up. He understood that it was really inappropriate for him to meet a student who was going to take the imperial examination as a prime minister at this time.

On the other side, Lu Bu was not to be outdone. He said to the mastermind Chen Gong: "Gongtai, I must join the cabinet. Although Wu Zu favors me and accepts me as his disciple, I still have to do something myself.

Wu Zu asked to see Zhuge Liang. You must help me find him. "

Chen Gong frowned: "General, I'm afraid the three prime ministers are also looking for Zhuge Liang, especially Cao A'ao. He has many advisers and generals, and we are not as good as him."

Lu Bu was naturally dissatisfied with this attitude and scolded: "Gongtai, don't you have an old grudge with Cao Cao? How can you increase other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige?
Regardless of whether we can find it or not, at least we have to let Master see that we have done it! "

Chen Gong finally nodded and did not remind him of anything that could win over Zhuge Liang.

After Sun Jian returned home, he told Sun Ce and Sun Quan about the incident.

Sun Quan said: "I was about to tell my father that I went back to Jiangdong a while ago and met a counselor named Zhuge Jin. He has a younger brother named Zhuge Liang. I heard he is very talented."

Sun Jian hurriedly asked: "Where is Zhuge Liang? Also in Jiangdong?"

Sun Quan shook his head.

Sun Ce asked: "Can Zhuge Liang be used by his father?"

Sun Quan still shook his head: "Zhuge Jin said that this Zhuge Liang is going to serve Prime Minister Liu."

When Sun Jian heard this, he was not very interested.

……

In addition to looking for people, the three prime ministers did not forget the threat from the West reminded by Wu Zu. They held a cabinet meeting to prepare for the possible war.

As the meetings progressed, the giant Dahan began to change.

Some knowledgeable people can see that there is going to be a war.

Inside an inn in Chang'an City.

Zhuge Liang, who was only in his weak years, was sitting by the window of a high-rise building, making tea around the stove with his fellow apprentice Pang Tongyi.

One of the two has a jade-like face and a very majestic appearance, while the other has thick eyebrows and a raised nose, a dark face and a short beard, and his appearance is very strange.

Pang Tong asked: "Kong Ming, I never understand, why do you have to serve Prime Minister Liu?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "The three prime ministers each have their own strengths, but only with Prime Minister Liu can I have the opportunity to display my talents."

Pang Tong added: "Prime Minister Sun doesn't have many advisers. I think you can join me and join Prime Minister Sun after the imperial examination."

Zhuge Liang shook his fan: "They are mainly Jiangdong nobles. I will be an outsider after all."

Pang Tong thought thoughtfully. His family had a good relationship with the Jiangdong gentry, so he didn't have to worry about it. Instead, he had good opportunities.

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang looked out the window, frowned and said, "There's going to be a war."
