Chapter 51 Ma Chao Pound defected to Jiaozhou Wolong and Phoenix came out of the mountain (13
Zhuge Liang knew that Sima Hui recommended him to Liu Bei, but he was not very satisfied with Liu Bei. This is not to say that Liu Bei's character is not good, but that Liu Bei's power is too small. Zhuge Liang felt that following Liu Bei was not much different from starting from home, so he told the little boy to say that he was not there when he saw Liu Bei.
The little book boy was ordered by Zhuge Liang and said to the visiting Liu Bei, "Sir went out this morning and is not at home."
Liu Bei didn't expect that Zhuge Liang was still so busy studying at home, so he asked, "Where did you go?"
The little book boy said, "The trace is uncertain. I don't know where it is."
Liu Bei asked again, "When will you come back, sir?"
The little book boy said, "The return date is not necessarily, or three or five days, or ten days."
As soon as Zhang Fei heard that the little book boy didn't know, he said impatiently, "Since I'm not here, I'll just wait to go back."
Liu Bei said, "You might as well wait for a moment. Maybe you can wait until your husband returns."
Guan Yu frowned and said, "I don't know how to wait for the return date? Brother, why don't you go home? Let's make people come to inquire often. When I know that Kong Ming is here, I will visit again.
Liu Bei was right to think about it, so he told the little book boy, "If Mr. comes back, it can be said that Liu Bei will visit, and I will come back another day." After saying that, he led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei away from Longzhong.
After a few days of returning to Xinye, some soldiers reported: "Mr. Zhuge has returned."
Liu Bei was very happy when he heard the news and immediately ordered someone to prepare a horse. Zhang Fei was a little upset when he saw that Liu Bei valued Zhuge Liang so much, "It's just a village man. Why do you need to go there in person? But the soldiers were ordered to call him."
Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei, "Mencius Yun: If you want to see the virtuous but not according to your own way, you still want to enter and close the door. Kong Ming is a great sage in the world. How can he greet him casually? After saying that, the three came to the middle again.
Although this is Liu Bei's second visit, he still feels that the scenery in the middle of the rumble is pleasant. It can be said that the mountain is not high and elegant, and the water is not deep and clear. The land is not wide and flat, and the forest is small and lush.
The three came to the village and knocked on the door and asked the boy, "Is Mr. Zhuge in the village today?"
The little book boy recognized Liu Bei and said, "I'm reading in the hall."
Liu Bei was very happy to follow the boy into the village. When he arrived at the middle door, he saw a pair of couplets on the door, and the couplet said: "Indifferently, I have a clear ambition." The next couplet is: "Quiet and far away." Liu Bei was experiencing the deep meaning, so he listened to the sound of reading in the room.
Liu Bei raised his eyes and saw a young man above the grass hall, handsome, wearing a carefree scarf, a soap robe, and hugged his knees and chanted: "The phoenix soars thousands of people. Shifu is on one side, and he is not the Lord. I love farming in Longmu, and I love my land. Let's talk about the piano and books to wait for the day.
Liu Bei tasted the meaning of the poem, which was that a famous scholar was waiting for the Ming Lord than Phoenix, so he hurried forward to salute him and said, "Mr. Bei Jiumu's name has no chance to visit. Because of Mr. Shuijing's guidance, he came to Xianzhuang. I didn't meet my husband last time, and I'm really lucky to see his appearance today.
The teenager hurriedly replied, "Is Uncle Liu want to see his brother?"
Liu Bei said strangely, "Isn't it Mr. Wolong?"
The teenager said, "I am Zhuge Jun, the younger brother of Wolong. Three brothers, the eldest brother Zhuge Jin, is now an official in the Guanghua National Division of Jiaozhou, and Kong Ming is my second brother.
Liu Bei secretly said in his heart: This time, it was the soldiers who explored clearly before I came to visit. Why am I not at home? Is it a mistake for the soldier to inquire, or is Kong Ming deliberately avoiding it? Although Liu Bei had doubts in his heart, he had a city government and did not question Zhuge Jun. Just asked, "Is Mr. Wolong at home today?"
Zhuge Jun said, "If Uncle had come one day earlier, his brother would still be there, but he went out for a leisure trip yesterday."
Seeing that Zhuge Jun's face was not like a lie, Liu Bei asked, "Where is Mr. Wolong wandering?" I can visit in person."
Zhuge Jun smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not sure about this. My brother usually travels in a small boat, or visits monks and Taoism on the mountains, or finds friends between villages, or plays music and chess in the cave. The exchange is unpredictable and I don't know where to go.
Liu Bei sighed when he heard the words, "It's a pity that I didn't want my fate to be so shallow that I didn't meet Daxian twice."
Zhuge Jun said, "Uncle, don't sit down. I will order people to offer tea and rice."
Zhang Fei muttered, "I'm not waiting for the picture of tea and rice. If the gentleman is not here, the brother will go back.
Liu Bei stared at Zhang Fei and said to Zhuge Jun, "Sir, don't bother me. I'll go in a moment. I have heard for a long time that Mr. Wolong is familiar with Tao strategy and dares to ask what book he reads?
Zhuge Jun said, "I don't know."
Zhang Fei saw that Zhuge Jun was the same as the little book boy, and he was even more impatient and said, "What is he doing?" I might as well come back early."
Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei and apologized to Zhuge Jun. Zhuge Jun was embarrassed to say, "My brother is not here, so let the imperial uncle and the two generals work hard. If the uncle has something important to do, please go back first. His brother will come back and visit the uncle.
Liu Bei said quickly when he heard the words, "How dare Mr. Lao drive in vain? A few days later, I will come back to visit. I would like to borrow paper and pen to make a book for your brother to show Liu Bei's hospitality.
There are four treasures of the study and Liu Bei on the table of Zhuge Jun. Liu Bei unfolded the paper and wrote: "Liu Bei has been admiring the name for a long time. After two visits, he did not return in the air, and his heart was melancholy. I wanted to prepare for the Miao descendants of the Han Dynasty, but I witnessed the change of the Han Dynasty, the collapse of discipline, the chaos of the country, and the evil party bullying the king, and I couldn't help but be afraid. Although he has the heart to support the society, he lacks a strategy. I have heard that Mr. is kind and loyal, and Mr. He is looking forward to coming out of the mountain, showing Lv Wang's great talent, and giving the grand strategy of Shi Zifang, and the world is very lucky! I'm very lucky! In order to show your sincerity, prepare to fast and worship your face again. I hope you can see me.
Liu Bei's writing and Zhuge received it, and then he resigned to go out. Zhuge Jun sent him out of the house and returned to the hall when he saw Liu Bei and the other two of them go far away. I saw my brother Zhuge Liang frowning and watching with a book on the case. Zhuge Jun came forward and said, "I see that Liu Xuande is very sincere, a relative of the Han Dynasty, and has the ambition to help the world. Since my brother wants to go out of the mountain, why not serve this person?
Zhuge Liang sighed: "Although Liu Xuande wants to calm the chaos of the Han Dynasty, he has been impermanent since ancient times. Since Gaozu's snake uprising and Qin in the Han Dynasty, it was ruled by chaos. Two hundred years of mourning and peaceful life, Wang Mang's usurpation turned from governance into chaos. Guangwu Zhongxing reorganized the foundation and returned to rule from chaos. Up to now, the people have been safe for more than 200 years, so there have been four fights again. How can this be easily determined by the time of the chaos? It can be said that those who follow the sky are easy, and those who oppose the sky work hard. Zhang Jiao, Dong Zhuo, Li Wei and other generations do not have great talents but can respond, all because of the chaos of the sky. From this, it can be seen that the decline of the Han Dynasty is not easy to help. What's more, Liu Xuande's soldiers are weak. If he wants to mediate the world, it is not easy to make up for the universe. I'm afraid that even if I go out to help, it's just a waste of effort.
