So the three men rode horses and led their followers to Longzhong. Half a mile away, Liu Bei dismounted and walked. When he met Zhuge Jun, Liu Bei saluted and asked, "Is your brother in the village?" They all said, "I just came back last night. The general can meet him today. " Then he drifted away. Liu Bei said, "How lucky I am to see you this time!" Zhang Fei said, "This man is rude! I might as well wait until the village, but why should I go by myself? " Liu Bei said, "They all have their own problems. How can they be strong?" Three people came to the village and knocked at the door. The boy opened the door and asked questions. Liu Bei said, "Thank you, Fairy Boy, for coming to report that Liu Bei came to see you." The boy said, "Although Mr. Wang is at home today, he is still awake in the thatched cottage." Liu Bei said, "In that case, don't publish it." Separate the guard from Zhang and wait at the door. Liu Bei came in and saw Mr. Liu lying on his back on several seats in the thatched cottage. Xuande arched down the steps. For a long time, my husband didn't wake up Guan and Zhang stood outside for a long time, but nothing happened. When they met Liu Bei, they stood still. Zhang Fei was furious and said to Yun Chang, "How arrogant this gentleman is! I saw my brother standing on the steps, lying so high that I couldn't sleep! When I go to the back of the house, set a fire and see if he can afford it! " Cloud long repeatedly advised to live. Liu Bei still ordered them to wait outside. Watching the class, Mr. Wang turned over and fell asleep against the inner wall. That boy wants to report it. Liu Bei said, "Don't disturb." After another hour, Kong woke up and recited a poem:
Who was the first person to dream big? I've known all my life. The thatched cottage sleeps well in spring, and the sunset is late outside the window.
Kong Ming sang, turned over and asked the boy, "Are there any vulgar guests coming?" The boy said, "Liu Huangshu has been here for a long time." Zhuge Liang got up and said, "Why don't you do the morning paper? Shang Rong changed his clothes. " Then move to the backyard. After a long time, I just got dressed and rushed out. When Liu Bei saw it, Kongming was eight feet long, with a face like a crown jade, a black silk scarf and a crane, and looked like a fairy. Liu Bei bowed down and said, "I've heard a lot about you at the end of the Han Dynasty, a fool in the county. Yesterday, I went twice, but I didn't see them. I have written several books and articles, but I have never finished reading them. " Kong Ming said, "It's a great shame that Nanyang savages have succeeded in slacking off and have been visited by generals many times." After the ceremony, they sat down separately, and the boy served tea. After drinking tea, Zhuge Liang said, "I read this book yesterday, which shows that the general still cares about the people and the country." But I hate being young and sparse. I was wrong. "Liu Bei said," what Sima De said, and what Xu Yuan said directly, are not all empty words? I hope Mr. Wang won't dislike his meanness and give me more advice. Kong Ming said, "Virtue, simplicity and integrity are the best in the world." . Clever is the farmer's ear. How dare you talk about what is happening in the world? Two male fallacies. Why does the general ask for hard stone instead of beautiful jade? "Liu Bei said," A gentleman is a man with rich experience. How can he always be under Lin Quan? I hope Mr. Wang will think of the world and be prepared to be stupid. "Kong Mingxiao said," I want to hear the general's ambition. " Liu Beiping urged the guests to go to the banquet, saying, "The Han Dynasty has collapsed, traitors have stolen their lives, and they have failed to do their best. They want to spread benevolence and righteousness to the whole world, but their wisdom is shallow and short, so far they have nothing. But fortunately, Mr. Wang opened his stupid business and saved his life! Kong Ming said, "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, there have been heroes all over the world. Cao Cao's potential is not as good as Yuan Shao's, but he can overcome it, not only in time, but also in harmony with people. Today, there are millions of people in Cao Cao, holding the emperor to make the princes. This sincerity can't compete with each other. According to Sun Quan, he lived in Jiangdong for three generations, and the country was in danger of the people. This can be used for aid, but not for profit. Jingzhou is bordered by Han and Mian in the north, benefiting from the South China Sea, connected to the east, and adjacent to Tongba and Shu in the west. This place can't be kept unless its owner is a general because he is going to heaven. Does the general care? Yizhou is in danger, fertile land is thousands of miles away, and the country of abundance, so Gaozu became the emperor; Liu Zhang is weak and the people are extremely rich, but they don't know how to save their shirts. Smart people think of smart people. The general is the emperor's office, loyal to the four seas, commander in chief, thirsty for wisdom, if there is a gap between Jing and Yi, protect his rock resistance, west to Zhurong, south to Yi and Yue, external to Sun Quan, internal to politics; The world has changed, and a general will be ordered to send Jingzhou soldiers to Wan and Luo, and the general will lead Yizhou's people out of Qinchuan. How can the people meet the general without eating pot pulp? If so, the great cause can be achieved and the Han Dynasty can flourish. This light is too good for the general. Only the general plans it. " Having said this, he ordered the boy to draw a scroll and hang it in nave. He pointed out that Liu Bei said: "This map of fifty-four States in Xichuan is also. If the general wants to get it, Cao Cao will dominate the sky in the north and occupy the land in the south, and the general will get people and peace. Take Jingzhou as your home first, then give up as your inheritance, and take this as your foothold, and then you can plan your staff. "Hearing this, Liu Bei stepped down from the table and thanked him." What you said, Sir, was a sudden prologue, which made me see the clouds in the sky. But Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou are Han clan relatives, so what if they can bear it? Zhuge Liang said, "Looking at the sky at night, Liu Biao will soon be dead; Liu Zhang is not the master of his career: he will return to the general after a long time. Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded his thanks. There are only these words, but Kong Ming is still in his infancy, and he knows that there are three points in the world, and he really lags behind people through the ages! Later generations have poems to praise:
"Yuzhou" lamented loneliness and pity that day, and was glad that there was Wolong in Nanyang! Want to know his age, Mr. Wang smiled and pointed to drawing.
Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang and said, "Although I have a bad reputation, I hope you will not abandon meanness and come out to help me. Be prepared to listen to the instructions. " Kong Ming said, "I am too happy to plow and hoe for a long time, but I am too lazy to meet the world. I can't live." Liu Bei sobbed and said, "What shall we do if you don't come out?" When he finished, tears wet his robe sleeves and his skirt. Seeing his sincerity, Kong Ming said, "The general doesn't give up on the other side, but helps the dogs and horses." Liu Bei was overjoyed. He ordered Guan and Zhang to enter and presented gold and silk as a gift. When Zhuge Liang refused to accept his resignation, Liu Bei said, "This is not a gift to hire the Great Sage, but it shows Liu Bei's concern." Kong accepted. So Liu Bei and others stayed in the village for one night. The next day. Zhuge Liang said, "I can't leave Liu Huangshu because he cares about the cottage. You can farm here, don't get a barren land. When I succeed, I will retire. " Later generations have poems to sigh:
Think back before you rise, and remember when you succeed. Because of the late Ding Ning, the stars gather autumn wind.
