Chapter 240
Cao Ying came to the yard behind and saw Huang Yueying sitting in the pavilion in a daze, and immediately walked forward.
When he came to the pavilion, he sat down next to Huang Yueying, and smiled and said, "Sister Yueying, what are you thinking?" Huang Yueying then realized that Cao Ying was coming, shook her head and said, "I didn't think about anything." However, even though he said that, his face and eyes were clearly filled with thoughts.
Cao Ying knew that Huang Yueying felt a little disappointed and unhappy because her elder brother ignored her just now, and said with a smile: "Sister Yueying, my elder brother was actually here to see you just now. But my elder brother and I had a misunderstanding because of a trivial matter, but delayed the matter. My elder brother was actually thinking of seeing you in the backyard just now, but he was a little shy. Finally, he didn't come and went back."
Huang Yueying couldn't help laughing and said, "He is a great hero who is the most powerful in the world. Are you shy?" Cao Ying smiled, and her eyes were full of energy. "Brother, he is a great hero, but he is very shy in such matters! Do you know, Big Brother also has shortcomings. In addition to being shy, Big Brother also has the problem of making small things! For example, the Big Brother wanted to make fish soup for my sister to eat last time, but he put everything in place, but he forgot to put water and finally cooked a pot of coke. At that time, the whole kitchen was so smoked that it was almost impossible to enter!" Huang Yueying couldn't help but giggle, and then a yearning look appeared on her face, but she didn't know what she was thinking about.
On the way home, Ai Lang couldn't help but sneeze a big sneeze, and couldn't help but touch his nose and muttered: "I don't know who misses me again?"
In Wolonggang, Zhuge Liang sat on the bamboo couch while drinking tea while reading books. Although he was not as prosperous as a general or a minister, he was a pleasant enjoyment.
Shutong rushed in anxiously, "It's not good, it's not good! That Liu Bei is here again, he's already off duty!"
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but frown, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and murmured: "This Liu Bei is really undead of the Yellow River!"
Shutong said a little annoyed: "I think he is planning to rely on the young master! You can go from behind, I'll deal with him!"
Zhuge Liang shook his head, "He is so sincere, I can't avoid him anymore. I'll see who this legendary Liu Bei is!" Then he ordered Shutong: "Go and prepare tea and snacks, prepare to welcome the guests." Shutong responded and went down to prepare for it. Zhuge Liang got off the bamboo couch, sorted out the Lun scarf on his head, and then tidied up the Confucian robe, walked to the fire pit to sit down, waiting for Liu Bei's arrival.
Not long after, only the sound of horse hooves outside were heard, followed by the sound of several people jumping off the horse, and then a thick and friendly voice sang: "Xinye Liu Bei brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to visit Mr. Zhuge!"
Zhuge Liang immediately stood up and went out to greet him. He saw three extraordinary figures. The friendly and elegant temperament made people feel good at seeing him. Zhuge Liang immediately knew that the person was Liu Bei. He smiled and clasped his fists and said, "The general is here, and he will be far away. Forgive him for his crimes!" Liu Bei saw a feather fan and Lun Scarf who looked handsome and looked like a god. He couldn't help but lit up his eyes and felt endless joy. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that although the visitor had a good temperament, they were too young, and he couldn't help but feel contemptuous. Zhang Fei immediately wanted to make a mockery, but Guan Yu grabbed him in time.
Liu Bei bowed to Zhuge Liang for a long time and said excitedly: "I have heard of Mr.'s name for a long time. Today I have known the honorific model. I am really lucky to have three lives!"
When Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was so generous, he felt embarrassed and quickly bowed and returned the gift: "General Liu is too rewarding! The man from the mountain village is ashamed of being accused!" Then he asked: "Please come in with three of you!" Liu Bei quickly clasped his fists and said: "Thank you!"
Zhuge Liang led the three into the thatched cottage and asked Shutong to bring tea and snacks, and then asked Liu Bei and the other two to sit down. Liu Bei then sat down on the side of the small table. Zhuge Liang sat opposite Liu Bei, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat on both sides to accompany him. At this time, Shutong brought tea and snacks, and retreated.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "In the mountains and fields, there are only these coarse tea and snacks. Please forgive me!"
Liu Bei was about to say a few words of praise, but Zhang Fei was already in the first place: "Zhuge Liang, we came to you not to drink some tea and eat these snacks! What ability do you have to call him "Mr. Wolong"!..." Liu Bei was shocked and angry when he saw Zhang Fei so rude, and shouted anxiously: "Third brother, don't be rude!" Zhang Fei said angrily: "I'm telling the truth, why are you rude to him?"
Liu Bei wanted to scold him, but Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, speak quickly. You can't say anything you think of. It's really rude. General Liu doesn't have to worry about it!" Liu Bei smiled apologetically and said, "My third brother, the birth of a pig slaughter, has always been such a rude temper! Please forgive me, sir!"
Zhuge Liang waved his hand with a smile, "No wonder, no wonder!" He looked at Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "Yide just asked me what ability I have, and I dare to call him Mr. Wolong. In fact, what ability can a villager in the Ye Village go down the mountain? The four words "Mr. Wolong" are just a misunderstanding from my friends. I am really sorry!"
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Sir, I am too humble! I have heard from people that I can rest assured to the world! Mr., who is a dragon, must have the opportunity of being invincible to the world! He is a dragon, and he must have the opportunity of being a talented person who is invincible to the world! He is a common man who descends to the earth, really wants to get the advice of his gentleman!" Then he showed a compassionate expression, "Today, the ruler is weak, the wars are frequent, morals are declining, and the people are displaced! Although Bei is determined to support the Han Dynasty and save the people from water and fire, his qualifications are dull, but he has achieved nothing after working hard for many years!..." Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing.
Liu Bei suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang. Seeing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately did not dare to sit again, and they both stood up. Zhang Fei was resentful and felt that Zhuge Liang was too entrusted. The eldest brother respected him like this, but he refused to give up. It was simply outrageous!
Seeing Liu Bei give another big gift, Zhuge Liang hurriedly got up and returned the gift, "I dare not be a general with such a big gift in the next Jieshanye Village!"
Liu Bei said sincerely: "Bie hopes to get help from his husband and achieve his ideal of supporting the Han Dynasty and saving the people! Please don't refuse!" Zhang Fei couldn't help but shout, "Zhuge Liang, my elder brother is the uncle of the Han Dynasty. If you beg you so much, you will refuse. It's simply outrageous!"
Zhuge Liang felt that he could not refuse, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "General Liu has said this to this point. If he doesn't help a little, it's really unreasonable!" Liu Bei thought that Zhuge Liang agreed to help him, so he was overjoyed.
Zhuge Liang turned around and walked to a cabinet beside the couch, opened the wooden door, took out a large scroll, and said to Zhang Fei: "Let Yide move the coffee table away." Zhang Fei immediately grabbed the coffee table and put it aside.
Zhuge Liang put the scroll in his hand on the ground and spread it out. It turned out to be a huge map of Jiuzhou, with mountains, rivers, landforms, cities and roads marked in detail. Seeing this, Liu Bei and the other two couldn't help but look amazed.
Zhuge Liang said: "This comprehensive picture of Jiuzhou was drawn based on the achievements of his predecessors and the results of his observations in various places over the years. Although I dare not say that everything is comprehensive, the general situation of Jiuzhou can be reflected."
Liu Bei couldn't help but clasp his fists and praised: "Sir, you really have a talent!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and pointed to the map and said, "Today, Cao Cao has dominated the north and replaced Yuan Shao as the most powerful force in the world; while Lu Bu, the tiger occupies Huainan, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou, is also very powerful; Sun Jian, occupying the entire Jiangnan, and the navy is unparalleled in the world. These three forces are not something that the general can challenge now. It is best to avoid it if it can. If it really cannot be avoided, it must join forces with the other two strong forces to fight against them..." Liu Bei looked at the map, thought and nodded.
Zhuge Liang pointed his fingers above Jingzhou's location. "Jingzhou is located in the world, with abundant resources and abundant people and a large population. The first step for the general is to take Jingzhou as his foothold!"
Liu Bei looked at Jingzhou and frowned and said, "What the sir said is really brilliant! But Jingzhou is just Brother Jingsheng's family business, how can I seize it?"
Zhang Fei shouted anxiously: "Brother! Your old problem has been violated again! You are just a little kindness and a little kindness to Liu Biao, and supporting the Han Dynasty to save the people is a big kindness and righteousness! Big brother, how can you ignore the big kindness and righteousness because of the little kindness and righteousness?" Guan Yu said deeply: "Third brother's words hit the nail on the head! Big brother, a woman's kindness is not desirable, so the overall situation should be put first!" Liu Bei frowned and did not say anything.
Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's expression in his eyes, lowered his head and pointed at Jingzhou and said, "Occupying Jingzhou thought the base was just the first step. Next, the general would reorganize the troops and horses to enter Xichuan. Xichuan was fertile, with a thousand miles of fertile land, and the surrounding peaks were towering, which was the place where the overlords were achieved. Only when the general occupied Xichuan as the rear area, he had the capital to compete with the heroes of the world. Fortunately, Liu Zhang of Xichuan was mediocre and stupid, and the general seized the West with the foundation of Jingzhou.
Sichuan, it is not too difficult! After that, the general can sit and watch the heroes in the east compete, and ignore it. He set up a large army to attack the northern expedition to first seize the old capital of Guanzhong, and then enclose the Xiliang in his hands! In this way, the general can seize the steep and rich land of Xichuan in Guanzhong, and then stand invincible! Just wait for the opportunity of the heroes in the east to compete for hegemony, and send a general to the east to Hangu Pass to capture Luoyang, or cross the river from Nanjun to sweep the south of the Yangtze River! At this point, it is not far away to clean up the world and support the mountains and rivers!"
After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, everyone was very excited, and Zhang Fei couldn't help but shout: "Mr. Zhuge, you are so amazing. With this plan, I feel that the day when we unify the world seems not far away!"
