Liu Bei went to Wollongong with ease.

He has been there twice, but he was not lucky enough to meet Zhuge Liang.

Just this time.

When Liu Bei left Fancheng not far away, he unexpectedly met a reclusive famous official who was also an acquaintance of his among the mountain trails.

"Mr. Shuijing."

Liu Bei dismounted in surprise, bowed and said with a smile:"We said goodbye before, because I was busy with official duties, so I missed my visit. I hope you will forgive me! Don’t know where to go today?"

Guan and Zhang didn't put on any airs. They dismounted and bowed to him.

Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, had met Liu Bei for a long time because of Xu Shu. He stroked his beard and smiled lightly and said:"I went to see Yuan Zhi today. I don't know what the envoy is. What's the business?"

"Due to Yuan Zhi's recommendation, I am heading to Wollongong to meet Mr. Zhuge Kongming! Liu Bei said without concealment.

Sima Hui was stunned after hearing this, then smiled bitterly and shook his head:"Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi!" As long as he is the only one to help, why bother provoking Kong Ming to work so hard?"

"Why did Sir say this?"Liu Bei was stunned, a little puzzled.

Sima Hui stroked his beard and smiled.:"Kong Ming was close friends with Boling Cui Zhouping, Yingchuan Shi Guangyuan, Runan Meng Gongwei, and Xu Yuanzhi.

"These four people are extremely intelligent, but Kong Ming is the most talented and strategist. He once jokingly said to the four of them: If you become an official, you can become governor or county governor!

"The four people asked Kong Ming where he could be an official? He laughed but didn't answer! I often compare myself to Guan Zhongleyi, whose talent is immeasurable!"

Listening to Sima Hui's words, Liu Bei's heart was shaken, and he looked forward to and yearned for Zhuge Liang even more!

Xu Shu admired him so much, but he didn't expect that even Mr. Shui Jing, a hermit in Jingzhou, also praised him highly!

But Guan Yu on the side didn't believe it, so he raised his hand and asked :

"Mr. Shui Jing, Guan Yu is not talented, he has read"Spring and Autumn" well. Guan Zhong and Le Yi are famous people in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, with great achievements in the world. Is it too much for Kong Ming to compare himself to the two?"

Xu Shu claims that Zhuge Kongming is comparable to the three outstanding figures of the early Han Dynasty. Now Sima Hui believes that Kongming is comparable to Guan Zhong and Leyi.

Sometimes this is too much praise, beyond personal knowledge, and it will appear a bit false!

Sima Hui smiled lightly:" In my opinion, not only are they comparable to these two, but they can also be compared to two others.

Guan Yu asked in confusion:"Who are they?" Sima

Hui whetted everyone's appetite, stroking his beard and saying with a smile:"Jiang Ziya was the founder of the Zhou Dynasty eight hundred years ago, and Zhang Zifang was the founder of the Han Dynasty four hundred years ago!""

Everyone was shocked!

This is exactly the same as Xu Shu's evaluation!

Could it be that Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Kongming really have such a great talent?!

Guan Yu was arrogant, and even though he believed it in his heart, he still had some doubts on the surface.!

But for Liu Bei, he believed it!

Military advisor Xu Shu said so, and even the hermit Mr. Shui Jing said so. It is impossible for these two people to collude and deliberately come to promote Zhuge Liang, right?

Then there is only one possibility Wow -

Zhuge Liang is really a great talent and a genius of the world!

‘If we get such a Crouching Dragon talent, maybe this dead end can really be solved! Liu

Bei was so excited that he raised his hands to Sima Hui and said,"Mr. Shui Jing, my three brothers will take you to Fancheng to meet with the military advisor, and then go to Wollongong!""

"There is no need to trouble you, I can go there by myself. Kong Ming always likes to travel around, so you must not miss it! Sima

Hui laughed and said goodbye directly:"I am waiting for the good news from the envoy in Fancheng.""

Seeing Sima Hui leave in a hurry, Liu Bei felt grateful and admired Sima Hui even more!

This was because he was afraid that he would miss Zhuge Liang again and didn't want to bother him to say goodbye! He is indeed a reclusive sage, and he really has the price of discernment!

Liu Bei felt happy in his heart. , and then said to Guan and Zhang:"Second brother, third brother, let's set off quickly. We must not miss Mr. Kong Ming again this time!"

The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang set off for Wollongong again.

They didn't meet each other twice. This time Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times. It seemed that even God had pity on his sincerity and finally allowed him to meet Zhuge Liang.

After knocking on the door,

Liu Bei paid his respects.

But the book boy said Zhuge Liang was taking a nap and had not yet woken up. He was about to wake Zhuge Liang up.

Liu Bei thought for a moment, was very discerning and had a high emotional intelligence and stopped him and said:"In this case, don't report it. I will wait for you at the door. Come."

Then the three of them, Liu Guan and Zhang, just waited in front of the thatched hut.

Time flew by.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The grumpy Zhang Fei was already impatient with waiting, and he became even more unhappy when he saw Zhuge Liang sleeping soundly.

"This gentleman is too arrogant! We brothers have been waiting for so long and still haven’t woken up. The book boy is too ignorant. He said he won’t wake up, but he really didn’t wake up?

"Big brother, second brother, let me go to the back of the house and set a fire to see if he can get up!"

Zhang Fei wanted to leave angrily, but was held back by Guan Yu.

Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei, who could only sulk alone, but did not resist his two brothers.

Liu Bei persuaded him:"Yide, have you seen it? Journey to the West》?"

"Of course I have read it, it was serialized in newspapers for a long time, and later it was published in a book."Zhang Fei asked in surprise,"Why do you ask this, brother?"

Thanks to papermaking, movable type printing, and the channels of newspapers, various novels written by the contemporary copywriter Liu Chen have long been spread throughout the world.

Liu Bei said:"Tang Xuanzang went through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships and endured countless hardships. , finally obtained the true scripture

"Even if I, Liu Xuande, visit the thatched cottage three times and visit many times, what if I wait for several hours?"

Looking at Liu Bei's firm expression, Zhang Fei sighed, nodded and said,"I understand, brother!"

Liu Bei smiled and continued to wait in front of the door.

After being highly praised by Xu Shu and Sima Hui, he was already thirsty for Zhuge Liang's talent!

Compared with Jiang Ziya and Zhang Zifang's talents, let alone breaking the game, they might be able to help him more. Go up a floor!

Time flies again.

Another hour has passed.

Zhuge Liang may have had enough rest and finally woke up:"Who wakes up first from the big dream? Throughout my life, I know that I have enough sleep in the spring in the thatched cottage, and the sun is getting late outside the window.

Stretching, Zhuge Liang turned over and asked the boy:"Are there any visitors?"

The boy replied respectfully:"Qingzhou Mu and Zhendong General Liu Bei have been waiting here for a long time!""

"Why not report in the morning! Allow me to change my clothes and meet you."

Zhuge Liang walked into the back hall. After a while, Fang straightened his clothes and came out to greet him. Liu Bei also dusted himself off, and then came up to see them. Both sides met each other's eyes, both sizing up each other secretly in their hearts.

Zhuge Liang was eight feet tall, and his face was like a crown. Jade, wearing a silk scarf on her head and a crane cloak, looked like a fairy.

This shocked Liu Bei and he immediately bowed his hands in greeting:

"I am a descendant of the Han Dynasty and a foolish man from Zhuo County. I have heard of Mr. Sir's name for a long time and it is like thunder in my ears. I have not been able to meet him twice during my previous visits. I have left a letter. I wonder if I have read it?"

"Nanyang barbarians are lazy by nature and have been visited many times by the general. It is really a shame! Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and saluted,"General, please!""

"Sir, please! Liu

Bei asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to wait outside and went inside to talk alone.

Zhuge Liang welcomed Liu Bei into the hall and said with a smile:

"The general's handwriting has been read by Liang. Looking at the meaning of his calligraphy, it is clear that the general was concerned about the country and the people. However, Liang was young and lacked talent, so he made the mistake of asking the general. Liu

Bei said with a smile:"Mr. Shui Jing's meaning and Xu Yuanzhi's words, are they just lies?" I hope you will give me some advice, thank you very much!"

Zhuge Liang made tea for Liu Bei and said with a humble smile:

"De Cao and Yuan Zhi are both eminent men in the world, but Liang is a plowman. How can he dare to talk about world affairs? Why would a general give up a beautiful jade for a stubborn stone?"

"Sir, you are too modest!

Liu Bei cupped his hands and said,"How can a man spend his time under the forest and springs when he embraces a prodigy?" I wish you, Sir, to think of all the people in the world, and to be prepared for the foolish and enlighten you!"

"General, what questions do you have? But it doesn’t matter! Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

Liu Bei sighed and said:

"Now King Changshan is powerful in the world and is about to lead his army southward. By then, the land south of the Yangtze River and east of the Yangtze River will surely be devastated, with people displaced and their wives and children scattered.

"Bei really couldn't bear this, even if he didn't know his own strength, he still wanted to save the people south of the Yangtze River and east of the Yangtze River from the fire and water.

"It's a pity that I am short-sighted and have no countermeasures. I hope that Sir can give me some guidance, and for the sake of all the people south of the Yangtze River and east of the Yangtze River, I would like to thank you for your great kindness!"

After saying this, Liu Bei bowed his hands and saluted.

On the surface, he was asking for advice, but in fact he wanted to test Zhuge Liang's talent, and at the same time prepare for asking Zhuge Liang to come out later!

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei quietly for a long time, then smiled calmly, pointed out the situation and said:

"Ever since Dong Zhuo deceived the emperor and brought chaos to the government, the world's heroes have risen together and divided their kingdoms.

"Fortunately, King Changshan turned the tide, rescued the Han Emperor from the fire and water, reversed the decline of the Han Dynasty, and killed the Dong thief and Luoyang!"

As Zhuge Liang was talking, Liu Bei felt that something was not right.

However, he did not interrupt Zhuge Liang and listened quietly to what Kong Ming had to say.

Zhuge Liang smiled, stood up directly and said:

"At the beginning, King Changshan carried out the general trend of saving the country and the people, shocked the world, and everyone expected him to return. He could have wielded power and controlled Luoyang.

"However, his benevolence and righteousness were so high that he actually led his army on an expedition beyond the Great Wall to personally conquer foreign tribes. This gave Yuan Shao an opportunity to take advantage of

"After Yuan Shao's power was overthrown, he didn't know how to govern the world. Not only did he neglect His Majesty, he even wanted to get involved in Jizhou, turned against King Changshan, and started a war.

"It is a pity that Yuan Shao is conceited, always scheming, has talents but cannot use them, and hears good things but cannot accept them. The coalition forces numbered more than 600,000, but in the end they were completely defeated and their heads were missing!

"In this way, the entire north fell into the hands of King Changshan. In Liang's view, this was well deserved!

"Liang once traveled far and wide and had friends all over the world. He also visited the six states where King Changshan was in charge and learned a lot.

"As far as I know, the entire six northern states are now a paradise. Under the jurisdiction of King Changshan, the people live and work in peace and contentment, with ample food and clothing.

"After the war, diseases were rampant and plagues occurred frequently, but they all disappeared under the rule of King Changshan. It can be said that it is truly for the country and the people, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

At this point, Zhuge Liang changed the subject and said with a chuckle:

"General Gaoyi, if the general really can't bear to see the people of Jiangnan and Jiangdong trapped in the flames of war, why not imitate Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian and welcome Changshan's army with his hands?

"With the benevolence and righteousness of the Changshan King, he will shake hands with the general and join hands to govern the states and counties in the south, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, have enough food and clothing, isn't it a good talk?"

Don't you, Liu Bei, can't bear to see all the people in the south and east of the Yangtze River plunged into war?

Don't you, Liu Bei, want to save all the people in the south and east of the Yangtze River from the heat of the water?

It's simple!

Just follow Tao Qian's example and surrender the city!

King Changshan It's not a scourge. The six states under his rule can be said to be a place where the people live and work in peace and contentment, have adequate food and clothing, and the country is peaceful and peaceful!

Just surrender!

This is also a disguised way of saving the people!

Listening to Zhuge Liang's plan, Liu Bei felt a little embarrassed. Even with his thick skin and hypocrisy in his heart, his old face couldn't help but blush! After a while of embarrassment

, Liu Bei, worthy of being a world-renowned actor, recovered quickly and said straight to the point:

"Make your husband laugh!

"To be honest, Bei once had a misunderstanding with King Changshan, and was later seduced by Yuan Shao to attack Jizhou. The two had reached an irreconcilable point.

"If King Changshan sends his army south, if Bei doesn't have a countermeasure, he will definitely die without a burial place. I hope you will give me some advice and try to give Bei a chance to survive!"

That's right!

Just for yourself, why do you act so righteously and say that you have become a common people at dawn in the world?!

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, waved his feather fan and said:"In that case, General Liang, give me your humble opinion.

"Now King Changshan dominates the six northern states and has millions of troops. He is already unstoppable and it is difficult to compete with him.

"Sun Jian occupied the east of the Yangtze River. The country was in danger and the people were close to him. He had many capable ministers and generals under his command. This could be a help but not a plan.

"Jingzhou controls Han Mi to the north, controls the South China Sea, connects Wuhui to the east, and Bashu to the west. This land for military use cannot be defended except by its owner.

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

Liu Bei's face was stunned, and his heart was shocked!

Of course he wanted the land of Jingzhou, and Xu Shu had already designed it for him. Unfortunately, Liu Biao had many capable men under his command, and Liu Bei couldn't interfere at all!

What's more, King Changshan is about to go south, and he We can't fight in the nest and consume our own military strength. When the time comes, the snipe and the clam will fight against each other and the fisherman will get the advantage, but it will be too late!

Zhuge Liang seemed to understand what Liu Bei was thinking. He smiled calmly and continued:

"To the west of Jingzhou is Yizhou, with dangerous roads and thousands of miles of fertile fields. It is a land of abundance, and Gaozu became an emperor because of it.

"Now Liu Zhang is dark and weak. Although the people are prosperous and the country is prosperous, he does not know how to care for the soldiers and civilians. The wise men under him have long been alienated from him.

"Now Cao Cao led his army into Sichuan and occupied Hanzhong. It must be difficult for Liu Zhang to deal with it. He has no countermeasures and is restless.

"If the general writes a letter offering help, Liu Zhang will definitely agree and welcome him to Sichuan.

"In this way, the general can stay away from the front line, avoid the sharp edge of the Changshan Army, and seek a slim chance of survival!"

Liu Bei asked for a chance of survival, and Zhuge Liang gave him a chance of survival! He entered Sichuan.

In this way, Liu Biao blocked the front line of Jingzhou, and Cao Jun blocked the entrance of Yizhou. Liu Bei naturally did not have to worry about his life!

It's just that

Xu Shu once said to him that he wanted to borrow money. This is Sichuan, but this is not what Liu Bei really wants!

"If Bei also wants to take over the world, sir, do you have any strategies to stabilize the country?"For the first time, Liu Bei showed his ambition in front of outsiders.

This was also because he finally recognized Zhuge Liang's talent and strategy. He was a man who knew the world's affairs even though he was in a thatched cottage!

However, when Liu Bei finished speaking, The look on Zhuge Liang's face, which was originally pointing the country and the country in high spirits, actually turned a bit gloomy.

Liu Bei was a very observant person, and his heart was shaken, and he thought in disbelief:

‘Is it possible that even Zhuge Kongming, a talented and strategist, a talented man like Crouching Dragon, has no way to deal with the Changshan Army?! '

The facts are just as Liu Bei thought.

Zhuge Liang originally had some confidence!

But after Boling Cuizhouping returned and brought sweet potatoes and potatoes, Zhuge Liang no longer had any confidence!

Even if Guan Zhong, Le Yi, Jiang Ziya, and Zhang Zifang were reincarnated, they would probably have no countermeasures!

Because the general trend of the world has been established, King Changshan is destined by destiny, and any strategy to stabilize the country will be useless!

Zhuge Liang sighed and said, no longer as high-spirited as before:"General, does he know what Emperor Gaozu said about the three heroes?"

Liu Bei nodded. Xu Shu also said when he came that Zhuge Liang was such a talent.

Zhuge Liang sighed and said:"Now King Changshan's men

"Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao are there to strategize and win decisively thousands of miles away.

"To control the country, to care for the people, to provide food and wages, and to never cut off the food supply, there are Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo.

"With an army of millions, we will win in battle and capture in attack. Xun You and Xun Gongda are there

"King Changshan himself is a man of great talent, military excellence, and superb strategy. He can be called the King of Kings!

"Emperor Gaozu had three heroes, so he conquered the world. Now King Changshan is even better and is unstoppable!"

Liu Bei's face turned pale and he felt desperate!

Sure enough,

King Changshan is already invincible!

Liu Bei didn't give up, so he raised his hand and asked again:"Sir, is there really no way to deal with this? I beg you, Sir, to teach me without hesitation, and I will never spread a single word of what I said today!"

Zhuge Liang often compares himself to Guan Zhong Leyi, and naturally he is not one to admit defeat. Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun You, Zhuge Liang also thinks that he is not weaker than them!

He thought for a while, took out the scroll from the bookcase on one side, and hung it in the middle hall , said to Liu Bei:

"This is the map of the fifty-four counties of Xichuan. If a general wants to become hegemonic, he needs to let King Changshan occupy the sky in the north and Sun Jian in the south. The general can occupy the people and people.

"He first entered Xichuan to settle down, consolidate himself, and gradually cannibalize Liu Zhang's subordinates. He doesn't know how to support the soldiers and civilians, and the knowledgeable people under his command have long been waiting for the emergence of a bright master.

"Then wait and see Jingzhou, Changshan's army goes south, Jingzhou and Yangzhou will definitely join hands to fight against the enemy

"If the fight against Changshan's army succeeds, both Jingzhou and Yangzhou will suffer losses. The general can take advantage of the situation and encroach on Jingzhou's territory.

"If the fight against Changshan's army fails, the general can develop Yizhou, attack Cao Cao in the north, build dangerous passes in the south to fight against Changshan's army, attack the barbarians in the west, and develop westward.

"With the high mountains and natural dangers like Yizhou, it can become a tripartite force. The general will support the soldiers and civilians, and develop well through the land of abundance and fertile fields.

"Wait until something changes in Changshan, then attack with force!"

Liu Bei nodded repeatedly, as if he understood Zhuge Liang's plan!

Enter Sichuan, develop, defeat Cao Cao, and completely occupy Yizhou.

Then wait for the opportunity, wait for changes in Changshan, and attack with force!

This is not without purpose. It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it!

If after the Changshan Army gradually annexes the world, the larger the territory and the more power it has, the greater the possibility of internal corruption!

When corruption and chaos appear internally, it will be the time for Liu Bei to attack!

It can be said that Gou Jian, the king of Yue, tried his daring plan by lying on his salary!

But.

This premise is...

Liu Bei has enough resourceful people under him to allow him to develop with peace of mind, to allow him to smoothly enter Sichuan and annex Liu Zhang's subordinates.

In the end, there will not even be internal corruption and collapse, etc.!

Thinking of this, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang with great hope. This time he knelt down on his knees, saluted and said:

"The teacher's words made Beimao suddenly enlightened, just like clearing the clouds and seeing the mist. You are truly a genius of your time. Before you even left your thatched cottage, you have already known the whole world. No one from all ages can compare with him! Liu

Bei flattered him, and then changed the topic and said,"Although Bei has a low reputation, I hope you will not abandon your humbleness and help me." Be prepared to listen to the clear instructions!"

"Liang Jiu enjoys plowing and hoeing, but is too lazy to cope with the world and cannot follow orders. Zhuge Liang declined and said.

Liu Bei's eyes were filled with mist and tears were streaming down his face:

"If I don't have the help of my husband, even if I know the strategy of plotting the world and stabilizing the country, what's the use? The art of slaying dragons requires the help of wise men!"

When Liu Bei cried, Zhuge Liang became a little soft-hearted for some reason.

If it weren't for the current situation of King Changshan,After all, it was destiny, and even he had no way to save himself. Zhuge Liang didn't mind going out and having a battle of wits with him!

He is well-read and familiar with military art, not just to show off his skills in the world.

Or even, using the world as a chess piece and the common people as a pawn, playing a game that will last forever?! such a pity.

Time waits not for us!

Zhuge Liang turned around cruelly, looked at Liu Bei and said,"Now that the confusion has been cleared, please come back, general!"

Liu Bei begged again and again, but Zhuge Liang declined cruelly!

At this time, Liu Bei finally understood that it was impossible to do anything. After standing up, he looked at Zhuge Liang, his eyes were red and swollen, and asked with a surprised look on his face:

"Since sir is giving me advice, why don't you want to help me? Don't you want to see if your plan is feasible? Zhuge

Liang looked embarrassed and a little moved, but still waved forcefully:"General, please come back. I will send you off not far away!" Liu

Bei sighed and was about to go out, but he still refused to give up and asked:

"Sir, can you tell me how to get out of the mountain? No matter how hard it is, I will achieve it for my husband! Zhuge

Liang sighed. Seeing Liu Bei being so sincere and thinking of his three visits to the thatched cottage, he said helplessly:

"If Guo Jia doesn't die, Crouching Dragon won't come out!"
