Chapter 91 Zhuge Liang appears!
[Cao Cao in the north is full of ambition, looks down upon the world, and is arrogant. 】

[But a dear friend in the south is extremely lonely. 】

[In 201 AD, during the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao attacked Runan from the south. Liu Bei was defeated and then defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou. 】

[Liu Biao personally went to the outskirts to greet Liu Bei and allowed him to settle in Xinye. 】

[He was treated as a distinguished guest, and he was invited to dinner parties and drinks at three or five o'clock, without neglecting him in the slightest. 】

[Liu Bei's life switched from "passionate entrepreneurship" to "Buddhist pension" mode. 】

[But drinking, eating, and pampering yourself was never the life Liu Bei wanted. 】

["If there is a foundation for preparation, how can the mediocre people in the world have anything to say?!"]

[What Liu Bei wants in his words is to gallop on the battlefield, establish hegemony, and revive the Han Dynasty! 】

[Although Liu Biao treated Liu Bei very politely, he was always on guard against him. 】

[Undoubtedly, it was entirely because Liu Bei showed his skills first and defeated Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin of Cao's army. 】

[The second thing is that Liu Bei is too charming. 】

……

On the canopy,
All the celebrities in Jingzhou rushed to entertain Liu Bei.

……

[And after the incident of "raw flesh on the cheeks" happened, Liu Biao became even more wary of Liu Bei. 】

[He was transferred from Xinye in the north to Fancheng in the south. 】

[In 207 AD, when Cao Cao attacked Wuhuan in the north, Liu Bei proposed that Liu Biao send him to attack Xudu, but Liu Biao did not agree. 】

[At this point, Liu Bei became an "idle worker" in Jingzhou, and he was also preparing to go to Longzhong, twenty miles west of Xiangyang City. 】

[He is going to invite a Confucian scholar called "Fulong" by Sima Hui as "Those who know the current affairs care about heroes.", and also called "Wolong" by Xu Shu! 】

……

Big man,

Liu Bang looked at the frustrated Liu Bei and slapped his thigh angrily...

"You kid! Drink some wine and you don't know how to handle it!"

"When you say this! Aren't you clearly telling others that you are ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to others!"

"You have to bow your head when you are under someone else's roof! You have to be able to bend and stretch!"

"It makes people feel on guard. How could they let you go and fight Cao Cao!"

Lu Pheasant on the side snorted coldly:
"Hmph, I think Liu Biao didn't take any precautions."

"He went to Xuzhou with Gongsun Zan."

"When I was with Cao Cao, I ran to Yuan Shao."

"When Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were fighting in Guandu, he rushed to Liu Biao again."

"Liu Biao, as a normal person, must guard against him!"

Liu Bang scratched his head.

"Yes, but leave the facts aside."

"Don't those things happen for a reason?"

Liu Ying on the side stuck her head out and asked:
"Since Liu Biao is so afraid of Liu Bei, why not let him go?"

Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying and then at Lu Pheasant.

"Look, can Mr. Nai be relieved like this?"

Lu Pheasant glared at him.

"speak nicely!"

Liu Bang was speechless, then turned to Liu Ying and said seriously:

"It was a bit of a joke just now. The reason why Liu Biao didn't let Liu Bei leave is actually very simple."

"You should understand that he put Liu Bei in Xinye. He is using Liu Bei to defend against Cao Cao."

"So, if Cao Cao attacks in the future, he will definitely ask Liu Bei to lead the charge, so of course he cannot be allowed to leave."

Liu Ying understood and felt unhappy.

"Does life have to be so complicated?"

Seeing the depressed look on Liu Ying's face, Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant looked at each other.

Then Liu Bang touched Liu Ying's head.

"You, if you can't do these things, don't do them."

"My father and mother are here."

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che stroked his beard.

"I named this Confucian scholar so suddenly."

"Looks like he's a genius."

"Huh... Wolong? Fulong? What a great name!"

Wei Zifu on the side also nodded slightly.

"Yeah, it looks like I still have to visit in person."

"But since he has such a name, he is very human in comparison."

Liu Che poured Jue wine.

"Hmph, I want to see what kind of genius he will be."

"Fulong? Humph."

……

The play continues on the marquee,

In the picture, a yard made of bamboo appears.

There are three thatched cottages in the yard.

"not at home?"

Liu Bei prepared the gifts and ran for more than twenty miles. Then he looked blankly at the book boy in front of him while carrying the gifts, and then looked at the thatched hut behind the book boy.

"Yes, sir, I went out to visit friends. If you have anything important to tell me, I will convey it to you."

The book boy with his hair tied in his head half-opened the door, alert but polite.

"Okay, please leave these to Mr. Wolong. Let me tell you that Han Zuo General Yicheng Tinghou, leader of Yuzhou Shepherd Liu Bei Liu Xuande, came here to pay homage to Mr. Wolong."

Bookboy: "I can't remember many names."

Liu Bei:......

Book boy:......

"Liu Xuande, come to see sir."

"Remember this."

Liu Bei called the gift in his hand to the book boy, looked at the thatched cottage again, then turned and left.

The second time I came, I didn't see it again.

For the third time, Liu Bei finally met Mr. Wolong.

In the thatched cottage,

Liu Bei, who was led into the room by the bookboy, sat opposite Mr. Wolong.

Liu Bei looked at the person in front of him.

He is eight feet long and has a very majestic appearance.

Wearing a silk scarf on his head and a crane cloak on his body.

The eyebrows gather the beauty of the country, and the chest hides the opportunities of heaven and earth.

He is truly a god in this world!
After the two paid homage to each other, Liu Bei couldn't wait to ask:
"Now the Han Dynasty is in decline, traitorous ministers have stolen lives, and the Lord is covered in dust."

"I am not prepared to measure my virtue and my ability, but I want to uphold righteousness in the world!"

"Unfortunately, I am short-sighted and have achieved nothing, so my use has been rampant to this day."

"But the ambition is not over yet, do you think the plan will be implemented?"

Zhuge Liang took a sip of hot soup and sighed:
"Since Dong Zhuo's arrival, heroes have risen together, and there are countless people who have joined counties across states."

"Compared to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is less famous and outnumbered."

"The one who can finally conquer Yuan Shao will use his weakness to become a strong one, relying not only on timing, but also on human resourcefulness."

Zhuge Liang put down the cup, picked up the feather fan and shook it gently. Liu Bei on the other side listened carefully.

"Now Cao Cao has millions of people, holding the emperor's hand and commanding the princes. This sincerity cannot be competed with."

"Sun Quan has held Jiangdong for three generations. The country is in danger and the people are attached to it. The virtuous people can use it. This can be used as aid but cannot be used."

Liu Bei nodded, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, stood up, walked around the room, and said loudly:

"Jingzhou controls Han Mi to the north, controls the South China Sea, and connects Wu Hui to the east and Bashu to the west. This is a country that uses force, but its owner cannot defend it."

"This is the land given to the general by God. Doesn't the general have no intention of doing this?"

Facing Zhuge Liang's inquiry, Liu Bei was silent.

Zhuge Liang didn't care at all, he shook his feather fan lightly and continued:
"The west of Jingzhou is Yizhou. The state has dangerous roads and thousands of miles of fertile fields. It is the land of abundance. It is because of it that Gaozu became an emperor!"

"Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is in the north, the people are rich and the country is rich, but they don't care about the army and the people, so smart people want to know the wise king."

Zhuge Liang handed over to Liu Bei and said:
"The general is the head of the imperial family, his loyalty is spread all over the world, he takes charge of heroes, and he is thirsty for talents."

"If you cross the land with Jing and Yi, protect the rocks and obstacles, make peace with the Rong in the west, pacify the Yiyue in the south, befriend Sun Quan on the outside, and cultivate political principles on the inside."

"When there is a change in the world, I will order a general to lead the army of Jingzhou towards Wan and Luo."

"The general leads the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. Do the people dare to welcome the general without emptying their pots and eating pots of pulp?"

"If this is the case, hegemony can be achieved and the Han Dynasty can flourish."

……

[Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming, was born in Guodu County, Langya County, Xuzhou. 】【The ancestor Zhuge Feng was the Sili school captain during the Yuan Dynasty of the Western Han Dynasty, and his father Zhuge Gui was the magistrate of Taishan County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. 】

[At the age of thirteen, he came to Jingzhou with his younger brother Zhuge Jun and his uncle Zhuge Xuan and lived in Longzhong, not far from Xiangyang City. 】

[After Zhuge Xuan died of illness, Zhuge Liang and his younger brother built several thatched cottages in Longzhong, Nanyang, cultivated some fields, and lived in seclusion. 】

[Although he lived in seclusion in Longzhong, Zhuge Liang had great plans. He was quite conceited about his knowledge and talents, and often compared himself to Guan Zhong, a famous prime minister in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Le Yi, a famous general in the Warring States Period. 】

[In 207 AD, the forty-seven-year-old Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times to invite the twenty-seven-year-old Zhuge Liang to come out and win the title of Longzhong. 】

[Historians call the Longzhong pairing "three points have been decided before Longzhong comes out!"]

[After leaving the mountain, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei met late. They often rode in the same car, ate the same food, lived in the same house, and leaned on the same couch. Stay together and talk about the general trend of the world]

[Making Guan and Zhang very jealous. 】

……

{At the age of twenty-seven, he has such a majestic strategic vision and execution ability. Is he a genius? }
{The key is that Zhuge Liang can evolve. Originally he was just Xiao He, but he didn't expect that he would also do things like Zhang Liang and Han Xin. }
{Zhuge Liang was born at the right time, and he made great achievements in troubled times: Zhuge Liang was not born at the right time, and the troubled times have not yet ended. }
{The old Liu family is best at saying: "The plan will be laid out?"}
{The plan is about to come out? What to do~}
{When Zhuge Liang was young, he lived with his uncle in Langya, which was Xuzhou at that time. }
{When Cao Cao led his troops to massacre the city of Xuzhou, Liu Bei was the only one who brought thousands of people to rescue Xuzhou. }
{Perhaps at that time, Zhuge Liang, who was still a child, had already seen the kind and loyal Uncle Liu Huang with thick eyebrows and big eyes while standing behind his uncle. }
……

Da Qin,

Ying Zheng heard this strangely.
Since ancient times, the princes occupying the Central Plains have had natural advantages over the princes around the world.

Because the land in the northern Central Plains is fertile and the water and grass are luxuriant.

There are countless grains and war horses.

And the land of the south...

Not to mention not even a blade of grass growing, it is desolate.

But Zhuge Liang's strategy is obviously to occupy the south and occupy the north.

Is it...

Can the people's livelihood in the southern land compete with that of the northern land in the Central Plains?

Ying Zhenglun pointed at the table.

It seems that the land of South Vietnam still needs to be developed.

……

Big man,

Liu Bang looked at Zhuge Liang on the sky screen, and he thought it was Zhang Liang who ran in!

"Don't say it, you really don't say it."

Lu Pheasant looked at Liu Bang strangely who was talking nonsense.

"It's been so long, Nai Gong hasn't noticed that this kid doesn't even have a piece of land now!"

Lu Pheasant was also stunned.

Yes, if you don’t have territory, why are you fighting for the world?

Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant looked at each other for a moment, then turned their heads away.

"Aren't you just going to take the road to Hanzhong again?"

Lying on his back on the soft couch, with his legs straightened and his hands folded around his chest, Liu Bang murmured:

"Hanzhong Yizhou occupies the advantage of natural danger, but it is easy to get in and difficult to get out."

"Jingzhou is close to Yizhou and has smooth waterways. It is a good place to go to the Central Plains from the north."

"Well... Yizhou occupies the advantage of natural dangers, and Jingzhou occupies the advantage of waterways."

"Hey! There's something about this little doll!"

Liu Bang suddenly understood and sat upright, looked at Lu Pheasant, and said excitedly:

"Eshen, do you think the Han Dynasty will prosper?!"

Lu Pheasant was also uncertain.

This... is not impossible.

If this strategy proceeds step by step...

The three prosperity of the Han Dynasty are inseparable from each other!

Lu Pheasant glanced at Liu Bang.

Does this bastard's blood really have a destiny?

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Feeling Wei Zifu's eyes, Liu Che rubbed his neck and said loudly:
"Yes! That makes sense!"

"But isn't it about developing the fundamentals! Managing internal affairs! Knowing people and making good use of them!"

"I know it too!"

"The key is what does 'the world has changed' mean?"

"Isn't he also sure?"

"Of course, if Liu Bei can really revive the Han Dynasty, I will definitely be very happy!"

"But that doesn't mean that Zhuge Liang is a genius! Right!"

Wei Zifu smiled and nodded.

"Yes, what your Majesty said makes sense."

Do you want to listen to what you are saying, Your Majesty?

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

When Liu Xiu heard the words "The world has changed", his expression changed slightly.

Has the world changed? What's the meaning?
Cao Cao usurped the throne?

The Han Dynasty collapsed, so Liu Bei's division became famous?
Or is it because Cao Cao is dead and there is internal chaos?
So Liu Bei can take advantage of the situation?

Or, after a period of ebb and flow, Liu Bei's strength is stronger than Cao Cao's?
For some reason, he always felt an inexplicable sense of ominousness welling up in his heart.

But there is indeed nothing wrong with this policy theory.

Liu Xiu looked at the sky and felt uneasy.

……

The period of Cao Wei and Emperor Ming
In Luoyang Palace,

Cao Rui was wrapped in a quilt and shuddered as he looked at Zhuge Liang appearing on the sky.

Thinking about the battle report that just came from the front, he gritted his teeth and said:
"An army of 80,000, this is already the fifth time! This old man!"

"Why isn't he dead yet!!!"

……

Cao Wei,

Sima Yi saw that familiar but younger face.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

"A strange person for a moment is a genius in the world!"

……

Western Jin Dynasty·Era of Emperor Wu
Sima Yan, who had just finished approving the memorial, looked at Zhuge Liang in the sky and thought of his future, and couldn't help but sigh:

"If I had this person to help me, I wouldn't have the hard work I have today!"

……

Datang,

Li Shimin drew the scope of the Three Kingdoms period in a few strokes.

Then he said to Li Chengqian:

"Since ancient times, fighting against the world has been nothing more than money and food."

"And money and food are inseparable from people's livelihood economy."

Li Shimin pointed at Cao Wei in the north.

"After the Battle of Guandu, the Yuan family completely withdrew from the competition, and Cao Cao unified the north."

"Although the territory is large, it is a land that has experienced turmoil, and the population and food cannot be restored quickly."

Then he pointed to Soochow.

"Because Jiangdong is located on the border, war has rarely affected it, and its farming conditions are good. Coupled with Sun Ce and Sun Quan's successful management, Jiangnan has been developed to a certain extent."

Then he pointed at Shu Han.

"Geographically, Yizhou has dangerous mountains and rivers, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it has a land of abundance that can be self-sufficient. In the south, blocked by the Yangtze River, there is more fertile farming land than in the north."

"According to the records in "The Book of Han Geography" and "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty"."

“扬州的人口从西汉时的320万增长到430余万,荆州人口从350万增长到620余万,益州人口从470余万增长到720余万。”

"But since the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, there has been no rooster crow for thousands of miles in the northern Central Plains."

Li Shiming looked at Li Chengqian and said solemnly:
"This is the fundamental reason why Zhuge Wuhou came out to fight against Long Zhong."

"Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, which are located in the Yangtze River Basin, unite to a certain extent and have the strength to confront the north."

"This is something that people who have lived experience in both the North and the South easily realize."

"So Lu Su has the best strategy, and Zhuge has the best strategy."

"The fundamental thing is to see the general trend of money and food in the world!"

"Chengqian, do you understand?"

Li Chengqian nodded.

"We must hold the lifeblood of the world's money and food in our own hands!"

"Even... set aside a place and let it become the lifeblood of the world's economy!"

Li Shimin patted Li Chengqian's shoulder with great appreciation.

"Good boy! Good boy!"

 I found an interesting thing when reading "Book of Jin". Sima Yi always won a great victory against Zhuge Liang, but the border of Shu kept moving northward.
