"I said, this is just one reason. To tell you the truth, the Zhuge family and the Sima family are already the targets of my death. Among the descendants of the family who fled to Hetao, including the Zhuge family, not a single one of them was able to herd horses or sheep.
Can't run.
If you don't break up with the family, I won't let you go.
Of course, this just gives me a reason not to kill you. The real reason why I don't kill you is that I want to pay for Yueying once."
Liu Zhang paused and said to Zhuge Liang: "Yueying has been making suggestions for me since he followed me. Without Yueying, the Sichuan Army would not be what it is today.
I know that Yueying had several disagreements with the Huang family because of me, but she was more flexible, so she used various reasons to make the family obey again and again. Until now, the Huang family has completely evolved into a business family and achieved a peaceful transition.
But I believe that even if Yueying doesn't have this flexibility and has to break up with her family, she will do that for the sake of the Sichuan Army. I must be grateful to her.
And you and Pang Tong were once enemies. Yueying wants to kill you. She is really in pain.
Xu Shu has died in my hands, and Yueying has paid so much for the Sichuan Army, so I want to keep you, Yueying's little friend, as a psychological balance.
But I will not let a threat run around. Before the Sichuan army dominates the world, I may have to aggrieve you during this period. You cannot escape my control. I will have people monitor you closely.
But don't worry, it won't be too long. When the world is unified, I won't be afraid of you anymore. You can go back to Longzhong. I asked Yueying, and she also thinks you should go there. She also said that you want a
Someone is with you."
"Looking for someone to accompany me?" Zhuge Liang murmured, a little absent-minded.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Yueying, please don't have such wishful thinking. It belongs to me. But this time when Cai Yan went to see Zhelan, Zhelan asked her why she was so worried about you. She told Zhelan that it was because she liked you.
This is the reason why Zhelan made up his mind to write to me. Cai Yanyi's life has been full of twists and turns, and it's hard to fall in love with someone. Zhelan doesn't want to tear you apart alive, and I also hope that you can cherish it."
Liu Zhang looked at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was silent, remembering every detail of Cai Yan and himself in the Di Ren camp. Their fates were so similar, but he was so selfish.
Cai Yan is more unfortunate than her own fate, but every day she only listens to herself talking, silently playing the piano to soothe her injured heart, talking about herself and complaining about her fate. When did she care about her feelings?
Don’t you know how to play the piano? Can’t you play the piano once for Cai Yan to comfort her hurt heart?
Cai Yan saw everything about her. She had a premonition that something bad would happen, and Cai Yan was more worried than herself. She rarely went out, let alone met Zhe Lanying, the ruler of Hetao. But for herself, she took the initiative to go
.
Zhuge Liang could imagine that Cai Yan's crying to Zhe Lanying was not from his inner feelings, so why did it make Zhe Lanying's heart move?
When I was telling my story, I didn't expect her to be listening. When I was melancholy, I didn't expect her to be alone playing the piano. When I was crying silently, I didn't expect her to be heartbroken behind my back.
I talk about a woman that I can't get every day, but I forget that there is a woman standing behind me.
"Ha~~~" Zhuge Liang let out a long breath. At this moment, Zhuge Liang had figured out many things. It was as if he had escaped from a prison that he had been unable to get out of before, and his body and mind became relaxed.
In the past, I always thought about past misfortunes, family chains, and relationship failures.
But now, his family was none of his business, and his relationship, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt that Huang Yueying's shadow in his heart gradually faded, and finally only the image of an indifferent friend remained, just like a biological sister who always cared about him.
And all my thoughts are imprinted on another person, who is always playing the piano silently behind me.
After being lost for so long, Zhuge Liang finally understood the meaning of his life when he turned around.
Zhuge Liang stood up and bowed solemnly to Liu Zhang: "Not only did the King of Shu not kill Zhuge Liang, he also awakened Zhuge Liang. Only now does Zhuge Kongming know how to live. Thank you to the King of Shu for your kindness."
When the image of Huang Yueying in his heart faded, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt enlightened. His life should not be so bad. He was not disabled, and he still had a woman who loved him. The most important thing was that he was only twenty-six years old.
.
At such a young age, why should I be decadent?
Zhuge Liang decided to live the rest of his life well. Huang Yueying should be treated as a beautiful past and a child in the present. He should cherish the person who cherishes him and start his life again. It is not too late.
"Come on, there's no need to thank you. Until the world is stable, if you just stay well and don't do anything wrong, you'll be worthy of me."
After Liu Zhang was about to leave, Zhuge Liang suddenly stopped Liu Zhang: "Your Highness, King of Shu, do you really not need Zhuge Liang's service? Zhuge Liang is not as good as Yueying Shiyuan, but as a county magistrate or something, he is still
It can be done." Because his heart knot was opened, Zhuge Liang's tone became much more relaxed.
"Well?" Liu Zhang looked back at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Can you serve me?"
"There is nothing I can do. Now that I have broken up with my family, I have no money to spend. If I don't have an official position, I won't be able to support my family even if I farm in Longzhong."
Seeing Liu Zhang looking at him with doubts, Zhuge Liang's expression became serious, "Your Highness, King of Shu, Zhuge Liang just wants to start his life again. Miss Cai Yan will not dislike Zhuge Liang's poverty, but just because a woman does not dislike it, a man cannot give up.
Let women live a hard life.
Cai Yan comes from a scholarly family, and I also like to write and write. This is very expensive. Even to make a living, I have to have an official position. What's more, I don't want to retire now, but also want to establish some achievements.
You can't come to see me when Yueying and Shiyuan become famous, I can still plant rice at home."
Xiao Furong covered her mouth and laughed. Liu Zhang reacted for a long time before confirming that it was Zhuge Liang in front of him and not a copycat. He said to Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Zhuge is very talented. If he wants to serve in the Sichuan Army, I will not be happy enough."
, but are you sure you can work with Yueying?"
At first, Huang Yueying felt that the reason Zhuge Liang would not surrender was because Zhuge Liang would not be willing to submit to her. Liu Zhang also felt that Zhuge Liang would not be willing, so he did not have any thoughts about subduing Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang sighed slightly, smiled softly and said: "Some things are easy to be stubborn if you can't figure them out. If you figure them out, you will find that they are nothing at all.
If it were before, I would definitely not have surrendered to the King of Shu. It was indeed because Yueying was in the Sichuan Army. But now, I think it’s okay. Isn’t it a wonderful thing to work with my friend Fa?"
Fiancée and sweetheart have become a thing of the past. Now in Zhuge Liang's heart, Huang Yueying is just an ordinary friend, and there is no previous estrangement at all. In fact, think about it, isn't it the best result to work with Huang Yueying and Pang Tong? Why do we have to fight?
Come and fight.
It would be great if Xu Shu was here, Zhuge Liang thought.
Liu Zhang said: "Okay, since Mr. Kong Ming is willing to serve the Sichuan Army, I will not be polite."
Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and said, "Zhuge Liang, please see my lord."
"Rong'er, bring me the map of the south."
Xiao Furong handed a map to Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang said to Zhuge Liang: "I have a place that lacks a person with both civil and military skills, a vision and an overall view of the situation. It is just a bit remote, and I have wronged celebrities. Mr. Kong Ming may condescend to respond.
Life?"
"As long as you can support your family," Zhuge Liang said.
Liu Zhang smiled, spread out the map, pointed to Jiaozhou and said: "Jiaozhou is too far away from the center of the Han Dynasty. In the past, it basically relied on some local wealthy families to maintain its rule. So much so that the so-called Jiaozhou Mu Shou did not have the power of a descendant of the Shi family.
big.
The Han government's management of Jiaozhou will probably only be smooth when Jiaozhou is hit by a disaster. If this continues, I won't be able to think about it for long. If the central government of the Han Dynasty is weak, Jiaozhou will split off. I need to change this status quo.
Dianzhou was newly established, and most of the chieftains surrendered. However, there were still many who were dissatisfied with the king's rule, but they could not be completely deterred by force. They needed to be subtle. As Dianzhou was like this, Jiaozhou to the east of Dianzhou was even more difficult to manage.
Cai Ming manages a Dianzhou, and it is good if there is no trouble. Now Jiaozhou is in chaos, and restoring order is the key. I don't want to see Jiaozhou still controlled by a few wealthy families in the future.
Therefore, whether it is Jiaozhou or Dianzhou, a talent is needed to govern. Governance is not only management, but also strengthens the Han's direct control over the local area and allows the local people to recognize their Han status.
In addition, there is the Southwest Silk Road, and the exchanges with Luoyue Kingdom, Kapilavastu Kingdom, Shendu Kingdom, Apanti Kingdom, etc. in the south. There are wars or peace, cooperation or confrontation. These are very complicated. Can Mr. Zhuge do it?"
"Zhuge Liang also knows the culture of the south. King Shu can rest assured that Zhuge Liang will do his best." Zhuge Liang said solemnly.
Liu Zhang nodded. He knew that Zhuge Liang was not just talking nonsense when he said he had an understanding of southern culture. From the history of Zhuge Liang's conquests on the southern barbarians, it can be seen that Zhuge Liang had an understanding of the various ethnic groups in the south, which made it easier to govern Jiaozhou and Dianzhou.
As for the countries in the south, not to mention Zhuge Liang, Liu Zhang only had a little impression of Luo Yue, because Zhao Tuo had ruled half of them before and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had fought there.
In these unfamiliar countries, we should adapt to the situation when the time comes, and I believe Zhuge Liang can make his own judgment.
Seeing Zhuge Liang complying with the order, Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. With Zhuge Liang in the south and Pang Tong and Du Wei in the west, the Sichuan army's rear was completely fine, waiting for the final battle of unification.
"Since Kong Ming will also serve in the Sichuan Army, there is nothing to hide. I will send someone to call Yueying now. Seeing that Kong Ming is still alive, she will definitely be frightened."
