Liu Bei quickly asked the reason, and Sima Hui replied: "I heard that Xu's mother is very virtuous. Even though she is trapped by Cao Cao, she will definitely not write a letter to Xu Shu. There must be something wrong with this letter. If Xu Shu doesn't go, then Xu
My mother may still be alive. Now that he goes, Xu's mother will definitely die!"
Liu Bei couldn't understand. Shouldn't Xu Shu go? Cao Cao wouldn't kill Xu's mother?
Sima Hui explained: "Xu's mother is a noble person. When she sees Xu Shu, she will feel very ashamed."
Liu Bei nodded, not knowing who Xu Shu introduced, so he changed the subject and asked, "When he left, I introduced a person named Zhuge Liang, how is he?"
Sima Hui smiled and said, "This Xu Shu, he left by himself, why did he provoke him?"
Liu Bei said: "Why did sir say that?"
Sima Hui said: "Kong Ming, Boling Cuizhouping, Yingchuan Shi Guangyuan, Runan Meng Gongwei and Xu Shu are very good friends. The four of them have outstanding abilities, but Kong Ming's views are even more grand, and he often hugs his knees and whispers.
He often pointed at four people, and you could become the governor and the county magistrate, so everyone asked Kong Ming, and then Kong Ming smiled and refused to answer. He often compared himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and his talents were limitless.
”
Liu Bei sighed: "Why are there so many talented people in Yingchuan!"
Sima Hui said: "Before, Yin Kui was good at observing the celestial phenomena at night. He once said that the stars gather above Yingchuan, and there must be many talented people in this place."
Guan Yu has been standing beside Liu Bei, and couldn't help but say, "I heard that Guan Zhong and Le Yi were all very powerful celebrities in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. They made great contributions. Is Kong Ming a little crazy compared to these two people?
Proud."
Sima Hui smiled and said, "In my opinion, we should not compare with these two people. I want to use the other two people to compare them."
Guan Yu asked, "Which two people?"
He replied: "It can be with Jiang Ziya, who has flourished for eight hundred years in the Zhou Dynasty, and Zhang Liang, who has flourished for four hundred years in the Han Dynasty."
Everyone was very surprised after hearing this. Sima Hui bowed and was about to say goodbye. Liu Bei wanted to keep the other party so that he could continue to ask for advice, but he couldn't keep it.
Sima Hui went out and laughed at the sky, saying, "Although Kong Ming has a good lord, he doesn't have a good opportunity, which is a pity!" After that, he left.
Liu Bei looked at the disappearing back and sighed: "What a paradise!"
On the second day, Liu Bei brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Longzhong. A long distance away, he saw several people on the mountainside, farming in the fields, and singing came.
After listening to it, Liu Bei quickly stopped the horse and asked the farmer, saying, "Who created this?"
He replied: "It's Mr. Wolong!"
Liu Bei said: "Where does Mr. Wolong live?"
The farmer replied: "In the south of this mountain, there is a high hill called Wolonggang. There is a forest in front of the hill. Among the thatched cottage in the forest, it is Mr. Zhuge's residence."
Liu Bei thanked him, rode his horse forward, walked for several miles, and soon saw Wolonggang and found that the place was beautiful and quiet.
Liu Bei walked to the front of the village, dismounted and knocked on the door himself.
A little boy came out and asked who he was. Liu Bei said, "The left general of the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Yichengting, led the uncle of the emperor of the Yuzhou, Liu Bei, to pay special visits to the sir."
The little boy was confused and said, "Your name is very complicated, I can't remember it."
Liu Bei said: "Just tell sir, Liu Bei is here to visit him."
The little boy said, "Mr. I went out earlier and was not in the house."
Liu Bei asked about the place to go and replied: "Sir, there is usually no fixed place, and I don't know where I went?"
Liu Bei asked again: "So when will you come back?"
He replied: "I don't know when I come back. Sometimes it's three to five days, sometimes it's ten days."
Liu Bei was so sad that he didn't see anyone.
Zhang Fei said: "Since this gentleman is not at home, let's go back first."
Liu Bei was still unwilling to give up and said, "Wait a little longer."
Guan Yu advised: "It's better to go back first. After you go back, you can send someone to inquire. If you are here, we will come over again."
Liu Bei followed the advice and told the boy, "If the sir is back, please tell me." After that, he got on the horse and returned. On the way, Liu Bei took a good look at the scenery of Longzhong and found that although the mountain was not high, it was very elegant.
The water is not deep but very clear, the ground is not wide but very plain, the forest is not large but very lush, the monkeys, white cranes, and pine trees are emerald green, forming a very harmonious ecological picture.
Just as I was intoxicated by this scenery, I suddenly saw a man with a majestic appearance, a handsome and handsome figure, wearing a free scarf, a soap cloth robe, and a stick from a remote path in the mountains.
Liu Bei was very happy and said, "This person must be Mr. Wolong!"
He quickly dismounted and paid a visit to him, and asked, "Is this Mr. Wolong?"
The man saw Liu Bei and knew that he was a general, he asked, "Who is the general?"
Reply: "I am Liu Bei."
The man defended: "I am not Kong Ming, but his good friend, Cui Zhouping, Boling."
Liu Bei bowed and said, "I heard that your name has been around for a long time. I am very lucky to meet you. Please give me some advice."
The two sat on the stones in the forest, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei standing aside.
Cui Zhouping asked: "What is the reason why the general wants to find Kong Ming?"
Liu Bei replied: "If there is a great chaos today, there will be a killing in all directions. I want to see Kong Ming and find a plan to stabilize the country."
Cui Zhouping smiled and said, "You mainly focus on quelling rebellions. Although it is a kind heart, there has been no common standard for managing disasters since ancient times. Since Emperor Gaozu of Han killed the White Snake and destroyed the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, it has entered the chaos.
The enlightened governance has declined and only lasted for two hundred years. After peace for a long time, Wang Mang usurped the rebellion and turned from governance to chaos. Emperor Guangwu revived, reorganized the foundation, and rectified the chaos again. It has been more than 200 years since then, people have
The days of peace have been long, so
Now that the war has begun again, this happened to be from governance to chaos, and the situation has not been settled. The general is preparing to let Kong Ming control the universe and deal with the world. It may not be an easy task, it will be in vain.
It's a waste of effort. Haven't you ever heard that people who follow the heavens will be very comfortable, and those who go against the heavens will work very hard. These are all there, and there is no reason to force the reason, and there is no such aura, and force it to obtain it.
Is it really good?"
Liu Bei said: "What the sir said is really insightful, but as a descendant of the Han Dynasty, I have the fate of supporting the Han Dynasty. How can I compare with the energy and quantity?"
He replied: "I am just a mountain villager and I am not qualified to discuss the world with the general, so the general asked just now that I was talking nonsense."
