Chapter 392 Uncle Liu visits Zhuge

When Liu Bei heard Xu Shu's situation at this time, he felt guilty, missing, smiled bitterly and other complicated faces. He blamed himself and said to Pang Tong, "Mr. Pang, it's all the fault of the general! It's all because Xu Shu was not well protected at that time..."

When Pang Tong heard the words, he quickly waved his hand to Liu Bei and said, "Uncle Liu, you don't need to say the scene at that time. You can imagine the degree of danger!" ..." Pang Tong's implication was: At that time, it was Guo Jia, the chief counselor under Cao Cao's command, who led tens of thousands of Cao's troops to chase and intercept. At that time, there was another Xu Shu. No matter how many super fierce generals there were two, Liu Bei's side was not Guo Jia's opponent! At that time, Liu Bei himself was a clay bodhisattva crossing the river - he was difficult to protect himself. Who else could he protect? As a result, he couldn't even protect his wife and children. If not, Cao Cao had the intention to persuade Guan Yu to surrender, it is estimated that Liu Bei's family would have died on the spot at that time.

Of course, Pang Tong knows that the reason why Liu Bei said so is not that Liu Bei is hypocritical, or that Liu Bei is deliberately doing it as the superior. This is Liu Bei's true feelings. If at that time, Liu Bei might have defeated the enemy and put his wife and children and Xu Shu in danger at the same time, Pang Tong believed that Liu Bei would give up his wife and children's life and save Xu Shu without hesitation!

Liu Bei has such a quality: for righteousness, desperate for everything, throwing his head and blood!

Even if Pang Tong excused Liu Bei, Liu Bei still fell into deep self-reproach. In order to comfort Liu Bei, Pang Tong smiled and whispered to Liu Bei, "Uncle Liu, I don't know anything. In fact, Xu Shu went to Youzhou for another purpose: he is to investigate the customs of Youzhou on the spot, the characteristics of various military fortresses and the intention of Sun Zan, the herdsman of Youzhou... Ha ha, Uncle Liu, in fact, you also know the truth: with the appearance of Xu Shu, ordinary princes dare not reuse us..."

Pang Tong finished his words and laughed at himself. Xu Shu's face was full of stars - pumazi. Pang Tong's face was full of bumps, and he was still a wine nose. Such an ugly-looking person, who dares to use ordinary local dignitaries?! However, Liu Bei doesn't care about this. At this time, he knows the benefits of reusing super counselors such as Xu Shu and Pang Tong: this kind of high-end talent will not only advise the main general, but also manage the barracks and cities well. No matter how difficult the conditions and the environment are, they can always achieve the effect of getting the greatest benefit with very little effort.

At that time, with the assistance of Xu Shu, Liu Bei lived like a fish in water, and his body and mind were relaxed. Because Xu Shu handled all the affairs of the military camp and the city, Liu Bei did not need to intervene at all. When Liu Bei thought of those tedious things, his head ached. He can lead the army with his brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he is not good at management. Where is Liu Bei himself? He is only good at the ideological work of generals, teaching words and deeds, leading by example, and uniting the generals.

When Liu Bei heard this, his self-reproach subsided a little. When the guards brought the wine and dishes, the guests began to talk about the wine. When Liu Bei kindly retained Pang Tong, Pang Tong apologized and said, "Uncle Liu, I also want to follow you, but I still have to study in the teacher for a year!" A year later, if Uncle Liu is still willing to stay, no matter where Uncle Liu was at that time, he will rush to your side!"

When Liu Bei heard the words, he was immediately moved to tears. When Liu Bei's mood stabilized, Pang Tong further said, "Uncle Liu, even if I follow you, I won't be of much use. At most, I will help you manage some tedious things!" There are other people who can really help you fight the world and fight with other princes! ... This person's talent is the best in the world, even if he and Xu Shu add up, he is less than one-tenth of the people!"

"Who is this person? Where are you now?" Liu Bei leaned over. His eyes were shining and he asked Pang Tong in surprise. Too excited, he knocked down the wine glass on the table.

"Ha ha, reply to Uncle Liu. This person's surname is Zhuge Mingliang, and his name is Kong Ming..." Pang Tong couldn't help laughing when he saw Liu Bei so excited. "Zhuge Liang lived in a valley 100 miles south of Runan City at this time. If Uncle Liu can get the help of this person, his future achievements will be unlimited..."

Pang Tong was surprised by Liu Bei's desire for talents: because at this time, the princes with a little power are all used to expand their territory and grab resources, while Liu Bei's territory and resources are in a cycle of loss and recovery. Even so, Liu Bei still does not care about it, but is eager to get super talents. Auxiliary. This shows how broad Liu Bei's vision and mind are. He has the excellent quality of perseverance.

Under the attention of Pang Tong, Liu Bei suddenly calmed down. Pang Tong knew that at this time, Uncle Liu was thinking about how to meet Zhuge Liang... When Liu Bei's expression returned to normal, Pang Tong said frankly to Liu Bei, "Uncle Liu, Zhuge Liang's temperament is different from ordinary people, so I can only introduce him to you, but I can't meet him with you..."

"Well, this book will understand that talented people must have different personalities and tempers..." Liu Bei said disapprovingly, "This is like BMW's good kil. It's not easy for ordinary people to tame... Ha ha, it's just a metaphor, and it doesn't mean to slander Zhuge Liang..."

"Ha ha, Uncle Liu, as long as you leave the teacher, I will come to you..." Pang Tong promised Liu Bei.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Pang, for looking up to me! I will welcome Mr. Pang anytime and anywhere..." Liu Bei said to Pang Tong with a slightly moved expression.

Finally, the banquet ended in an unfinished atmosphere. After Pang Tong left the barracks, Liu Bei sent people to Pang Tong's hometown and took his family to Runan City. After arranging all the affairs, Liu Bei ordered his subordinates to guard Liao Hua in the city, and then he led his brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to meet Zhuge Liang.

According to Pang Tong's disclosure, Zhuge Liang lived in Qianlong Valley at this time. Qianlong Valley is surrounded by mountains, and a river passes through the valley from west to east. The terrain at the bottom of the valley is gentle, and it is like spring all year round. A group of fleeing people live here. They live an isolated and free life.

As Liu Bei expected, he, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei visited Zhuge Liang for the first time. They did not see Zhuge Liang himself. They just found Zhuge Liang's residence and met Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying and two book boys Qingfeng and Mingyue. At this time, Huang Yueying was already pregnant.

Liu Bei and the other two left Zhuge Liang's home and spent the night in the valley. Early the next morning, they went to visit Zhuge Liang. As a result, the book boy Qingfeng and Mingyue told them that the master had gone out... After leaving Zhuge Liang's home, Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly, "Zhuge Liang was intentional. He knew that his eldest brother had come to visit him, but he deliberately avoided him! What's the big deal about a scholar who has no power to tie a chicken?! How dare you neglect the big brother so much!"

When Guan Yu heard the words, he also nodded silently. At this time, Liu Bei looked at the distance and said leisurely, "Third brother, if we can easily see Mr. Zhuge, it is not normal... But we can't sit back and wait for death. If Mr. Zhuge refuses to meet us again, we will have to use unconventional means..."

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei suddenly burst into laughter. Unconventional means? Isn't it just tossing and coaxing? Isn't it just a white face and a red face? I, Zhang Fei, just like to toss and sing white faces!

In the laughter, the boredom in Zhang Fei's heart was swept away. On the third day, the weather was cloudy and it rained lightly. In the light rain, Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to visit Zhuge Liang again. When the book boy Qingfeng and Mingyue still said to Liu Bei, "Master went out at dawn. If you meet Master, come back next time..."

This time, without waiting for Liu Bei's response, Zhang Fei said in a dark voice with a pale face, "Little book boy, I will definitely see Mr. Zhuge today!" If I don't see Mr. Zhuge today, I will demolish Mr. Zhuge's house!"

When the book boy saw Zhang Fei's fierce appearance, he was so scared that he didn't dare to make a sound. Liu Bei took the opportunity to say, "Sirth brother, don't be reckless!" ...Ha ha, breeze, bright moon, we have to see Mr. Zhuge today! Two brothers, do you have the heart to let the guests get caught in the rain now?

Before the breeze and bright moon could react, the voice of the hostess came from the hall: "Qingfeng, bright moon, why don't you invite the distinguished guests into the house quickly!"

With the greeting of the hostess, Qingfeng and Mingyue pouted and welcomed Liu Bei into the living room.

"General Liu, my concubine is inconvenient to move, and my husband is not at home. Please forgive the general for the hospitality..." Huang Yueying's voice came from the inner room.

"Mrs. Zhuge, it's too abrupt for me!" Liu Bei bowed respectfully to the room in the inner room and said, "Mrs. Zhuge, as long as I can see Mr. Zhuge, no matter what the result is, I will leave safely..."

"Well, thank you, General Liu, for your tolerance!" Huang Yueying's voice was slightly excited, "General Liu, my concubine's husband can go home in the afternoon..."

"Ha ha, please let Mrs. Zhuge rest at ease. I would have apologized to my wife again for the reckless interruption!" Liu Bei said with a guilty face. Huang Yueying did not respond.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei helplessly. It can be said that since they followed Liu Bei, they have never seen Liu Bei so depressed. After Liu Bei sat down, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went out and brought the gift into the house. When they finished all this, the three brothers quietly waited for Zhuge Liang's arrival.

At noon, when Huang Yueying wanted to go into the kitchen to cook in person, Liu Bei immediately stopped her. Zhuge Liang's life is so miserable that he can't afford to hire a maid or something. Usually, three meals a day are cooked by Zhuge Liang and his wife. The only woman didn't cook, but Liu Bei had to cook in person.

Liu Bei's martial arts skills are average, but his cooking skills are professional. Of course, Liu Bei is also good at making all kinds of shoes. After a while, Liu Bei cooked a variety of dishes with simple materials. After eating the dishes, Huang Yueying and Qingfeng Mingyue have been praising Liu Bei's cooking skills.

After a meal, Liu Bei and Huang Yueying's master and servant approached. The relationship between guests and owners is getting more and more harmonious, and the heavy rain outside is getting heavier and heavier. Even so, Huang Yueying did not show an anxious look. When she entered the inner room to rest, Zhuge Liang came in with a hat and a weed coat.

Huang Yueying just said hello in the inner room. She herself did not come out to greet Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang also greeted his wife to rest at ease, and then he and Liu Bei greeted each other.
