After reading Yu Yi's letter, Kong Ming showed no emotion and said to Liu Bei: "Since Dong Zhuo's autocracy, heroes in the world have emerged. Cao Cao's power was not as powerful as Yuan Shao, but he was able to defeat Yuan Shao not only because of the times, but also because of the time.
Having a personal strategy. Cao Cao now has a million military strength, and he cannot compete for him. Sun Quan occupied Lejiangdong for three generations, has a natural barrier, and the people's hearts have also become stable. There is no way.
The plan can only be used as an allies to provide assistance. As for Jingzhou, the Han and Mian are in the north, close to the South China Sea, and the Wuhui, Xitongba and Shu are connected to the east. These are all places where soldiers are used, but his master cannot use it. This is actually
It was the opportunity given to the general by God. Have the general ever thought about it? Yizhou has mountains and rivers as natural dangers and the land is very fertile. It is a country of Heavenly Prefecture. Emperor Gaozu of Han was able to achieve hegemony.
It is also because of the good use of this land; now Liu Zhang in Chengdu is weak and the local residents are rich, but he cannot compassionate with some talented people and has no place to use his skills. The general is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and his trustworthiness is convenient for the world, and his reputation for benevolence is spread far and wide.
, there are also heroes around you, and I really want talented people. If you can cross the land of Jingzhou and Yizhou, make full use of your geographical advantages, you will pay tribute to Yi and Yue in the west, and at the south, and at the same time become allies with Sun Quan, working hard to govern and implement internal affairs.
If there is any change in the world, a general will be appointed to take the troops of Jingzhou to Wancheng and head to Luoyang. The general himself led the people of Yizhou to attack from Qinchuan. Did the people of the Central Plains not welcome the general?
Is it? If so, then great cause can be achieved and the Han Dynasty can prosper. This is what I planned for the general, and I hope the general can consider it."
After talking about this, Zhuge Liang asked the boy to take the map, hang it in the middle hall, and said to Liu Bei: "This is a map of the 54 states of Xichuan. If the general wants to achieve hegemony, Cao Cao will occupy all the time in the north and Sun Quan will occupy the south.
In geography, only generals can occupy it. First take Jingzhou as the foundation, and then advance to Xichuan to achieve great achievements. In this way, the situation of three-legged tyrants can be established, and then the Central Plains can plan."
After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei bowed and thanked him: "Mr. Sir, my fourth brother mentioned it to me, but Mr. Sir, the analysis was more specific. My fourth brother is planning to seize Yunnan and then join me in Jingzhou.
Plan the Central Plains.”
Zhuge Liang said: "I have seen his letter, and the so-called heroes have similar views."
Liu Bei said: "Yes, the sir's words made me suddenly understand, just like seeing the sun with clear clouds. It's just Liu Biao from Jingzhou and Liu Zhang from Yizhou, who are all relatives of my Han Dynasty. How can I start to seize their things?"
Kong Ming shook his head and said, "I have recently observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that Liu Biao will soon be born. Liu Zhang is not the master of establishing a foundation. These will be the general in the future."
After hearing this, Liu Bei bowed his head and thanked him. He found that Zhuge Liang's words were similar to those of his fourth brother, but Kong Ming had never left a thatched cottage, but he could learn the long-term vision of the three parts of the world. His wisdom was really incredible.
Liu Bei asked Kong Ming and said, "Although I have a small reputation and lack of morality, I hope that Mr. Don't dislike me as a vulgar. If I come out to assist me, I will definitely obey Mr.'s instructions."
In fact, Yu Yi has analyzed a lot of content in the letter. Zhuge Liang lived in grandeur for a long time and often compared himself to the previous saints, hoping to show his talents. Just like Yu Yi analyzed, Cao Cao had many counselors, and Sun Quan also
It is not a platform to show your talents. Only Liu Bei can meet these conditions. It is a good opportunity given by heaven and the time when he can best reflect his abilities. However, he was a little unhappy about Liu Bei's kindness and said, "I have already cultivated the land in Longzhong."
After a long time, I feel that this kind of life is very happy, and I don’t want to go to the world anymore and can’t be ordered.”
Liu Bei said: "What should the people do if they don't leave the mountain?" After that, he started to cry, his clothes were wet.
Seeing that Liu Bei's attitude was very pious and he wanted to make friends with people like Yu Yi, Kong Ming gritted his teeth and agreed: "Since the general doesn't dislike me, I am willing to work hard."
Liu Bei was as happy as a child, and immediately stopped crying, let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei come in, and took the gift he brought over.
Kong Ming kept refusing, and Liu Bei said: "This is not a gift from me to hire the sages, it's just a little bit of my wish."
Kong Ming nodded and accepted it, so Liu Bei rested in the manor for one night.
That night, Zhuge Liang took out Yu Yi's letter and handed it to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was shocked and said, "My fourth brother is considering me, and I am really ashamed of not using him well."
Zhuge Liang said: "I see that Yu Yi's wisdom is no less than mine. If I have the chance in the future, I must meet him and ask for advice."
On the second day, Zhuge Jun returned home, Kong Ming was about to leave, and instructed: "I have received the kindness of Uncle Liu's three visits to the cottage and had to go out of the mountain. It is God's will. You can farm here, don't let our farmland be deserted, wait
After I succeed, I will retire.”
So Liu Bei and others said goodbye to Zhuge Jun and returned to Xinye with Kong Ming.
After arriving in Xinye, Liu Bei treated Kong Ming like a teacher, eating and sleeping together, talking about major events in the world every day. Kong Ming said: "I heard that Cao Cao built a Xuanwu Pool in Jizhou. He must have the intention of invading Jiangnan.
You can send someone to find out more about the situation.”
Liu Bei immediately followed this suggestion and sent someone to find out the truth.
In Jiangdong, after Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan took over the politics of Jiangdong, opened up a wide range of ideas, recruited talents, opened a hotel in Wuhui, and asked Gu Yong and Zhang Hongyan to welcome guests from all over the world.
After several years of accumulation, everyone recommended each other and attracted a lot of talents, including Kan Ze, Kuaiji, whose courtesy name was Derun; Yan Yan of Pengcheng, whose courtesy name was Mancai; Xue Zong of Peixian, whose courtesy name was Jingwen; Cheng Bing of Ruyang, whose courtesy name was De
Shu; Zhu Huan, Wujun, whose courtesy name was Xiumu; Lu Ji, whose courtesy name was Gongji; Zhang Wen, whose courtesy name was Huishu; Wushang Luo Tong, whose courtesy name was Gongxu; Wu Cheng Wucan, whose courtesy name was Kong Xiuxiu and others all went to Jiangdong, Sun Quan
After giving a heavy gift, some good generals came, Lu Meng, Runan, whose courtesy name was Ziming; Lu Xun, Wujun, and Yu Boyan; Xu Sheng, whose courtesy name was Wenxiang; Pan Zhang, whose courtesy name was Wengui; Ding Feng, Lujiang, who
The name is Chengyuan, and the civil and military personnel, and the talent team expanded for a while. Everyone helped Sun Quan together. Some people commented that there were many talents in Jiangdong.
At this time, Cao Cao was cultivating his troops. At the suggestion of the counselors, he sent an envoy to Jiangdong and asked Sun Quan to send his son to the palace to accompany the sage. Sun Quan hesitated a little and asked someone to find Zhou Yu and Zhang
Zhao talks about this matter.
Zhang Zhao said: "Cao Cao wants you to send your son to the court. This is a way to restrain the princes. If you don't go with the order, you may send troops to attack Jiangdong immediately, and the situation will be very critical."
Sun Quan felt that this was too big. He was still young and was afraid that he would not make a good decision, so he asked Wu Guotai to come over and participate in the discussion.
