Chapter 667: Wolong Meets the Lord
Zhuge Liang and Liu Yu sat and looked at each other.
Liu Yu rushed the tea leisurely, and Zhuge Liang also watched it very chicly, both of them were silently pretending to be forced.
"Kong Ming, what do you think of my rule?" Liu Yu said while pouring tea.
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, Liu Yu This is a test for him.
"The people in the court live and work in peace and contentment, and Your Majesty rules the world and revitalizes the Han family." Zhuge Liang said very officially.
Liu Yu was very dissatisfied with this answer, and said, "Kong Ming, you should understand what I mean. What I need is the truth. I once said that since ancient times, most of them have been the monarch of praise, almost half of the faint monarch. I'm not the kind of person who only listens to good words, I have to tell the truth. ”
Liu Yu heard countless voices of praise and virtue in the court every day, and he was tired of these voices. He knew that at this time, only words that warned him were what he needed most.
Zhuge Liang was silent for a while, he was thinking about the meaning of Liu Yu's words, the king's mind is the most sensitive, especially the powerful king, once he can't figure out his mind, I'm afraid it will lead to death.
Zhuge Liang thought about it, but he still felt that he had expressed his opinion, and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and the grass people will talk about their superficial views." ”
Liu Yu nodded, he just wanted to hear different voices.
After Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, he said: "Your Majesty's strength has surpassed all the princes in the world, and it is only a matter of time before you dominate the world. But His Majesty has several hidden dangers. One of them is Emperor Shouchun Jian'an. Cao Mengde continued to retreat, but he washed away the chaff and condensed the essence, which is also the reason why Cao Cao dared to stick to Yuzhou with all his might. Even if His Majesty launched an all-out attack on Yuzhou, the result would only be the same as that of Yanzhou. ”
Liu Yu nodded when he heard this, Zhuge Liang's statement, Chen Gong, Fu Zhu, and Tian Feng all mentioned it in front of him, and when the Yanzhou dilemma was not solved, it was impossible to carry out a large-scale attack on Yanzhou.
"Second, the princes of the world cannot resist Your Majesty, and they will give up after enjoying the supreme power and the taste of life and death, and almost all the top kings in the world can do this. The princes of the grass people look at the world, and almost none of them can do it. If the princes of the world cannot resist His Majesty alone, then they will surely unite. The alliance between Cao Mengde and Sun Ce of Jiangdong is proof of this. Zhuge Liang continued.
"So what should I do?" Liu Yu asked, he was eager to hear Zhuge Liang's solution.
Regarding this issue, the Military Aircraft Department gave many plans, but Liu Yu did not adopt them, not because the plans given by the Military Aircraft Department were not good, but that each plan had merits, which made it difficult for Liu Yu to choose.
"The grass people have a plan. First weak and then strong, break them one by one! Zhuge Liang said.
Zhuge Liang's method Liu Yu had seen it in the Military Aircraft Department, and the plan given by Sima Yi was this theme, so he asked: "How to break through one by one when you are weak and then strong?" ”
"Of the enemies of His Majesty, there are only four people left in the world. Cao Mengde, Sun Bofu, Liu Jingsheng, Liu Jiyu. These four people divided the Quartet and resisted His Majesty's imperial authority. Cao Mengde is the strongest of the four, and there are countless civil and military generals under his command, and he also has Emperor Jian'an, although he only has one place in Yuzhou, but he can compete with His Majesty. If His Majesty fights to the death with Cao Mengde, the unification of the Han Dynasty may be at a later time. Sun Bofu is another strong man, Sun Bofu is young and vigorous, has the courage of an overlord, in just a few years to conquer Jiangdong, divide one side, and even take advantage of the battle between His Majesty and Cao Mengde, to seize Xuzhou Guangling County. Sun Ce's subordinates are all his father's generals or young generals, and Zhang Zhao and other old people who seek the country are assisted, plus the natural danger of the river, the navy is extremely strong, from this point of view, Jiangdong is as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no chaos in its country, so I am afraid that it will not be able to start. As Zhuge Liang spoke, he showed the courage to point out the country, and it seemed that everything was under his control.
"Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu are indeed my opponents, and it is indeed not easy to defeat them. The two of them are strong, so Liu Zhang and Liu Biao are the weak? Liu Yu said.
"Your Majesty is wise! Liu Zhang's secession of Yizhou is a cowardly and incompetent character, and his subordinates are often dissatisfied. When Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang could not restrain him. If His Majesty hadn't broken Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang might not even be able to recapture the Sword Pavilion Pass now. Yizhou is the land of abundance, and Gaozu used it to lay the foundation of the Han Dynasty. It's a pity that Liu Zhang is incompetent, and he has been sticking to his place for many years, if it weren't for the extremely dangerous Shu Dao, he would now be His Majesty's guest. Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"What Kong Ming said is that if it weren't for the difficulty of Shu Dao, I would have attacked Yizhou many years ago." Liu Yu affirmed Zhuge Liang's opinion.
And Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou is a rare hero. When he went to Jingzhou alone, he pacified the counties of Jingzhou in October and the moon, which shows that his wisdom and courage are second to none among his peers. It's a pity that Liu Biao's success was too smooth, which made his ambition swell, resulting in Liu Biao not being able to withstand such a big gap and becoming addicted to wine after hitting walls everywhere. Become a guardian dog. ”
"Liu Zhang still has a good place to defend. According to Kong Ming's meaning, the last Liu Biao is the place you think you want to seize first. Liu Yu said.
"Exactly. Liu Biao has a fatal flaw, compared to other princes, he is relatively older, his body bones are not so strong, plus he has been addicted to wine all these years, and the grass people estimate that Liu Jingsheng does not have much time to live. Once Liu Jingsheng dies, the power of Jingzhou will inevitably be seized by Cai Mao. As long as His Majesty's army moves in and bluffs, Jingzhou can be decided without a fight! Zhuge Liang said firmly.
Liu Yu secretly praised Zhuge Liang's calculation ability, and almost all of the future changes in Jingzhou could be predicted. It's just that Zhuge Liang still missed one person, and that was Liu Bei.
"Kong Ming, what do you think of Liu Xuande?" Liu Yu reminded Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang's face did not change, and he chuckled: "Your Majesty is trying to say that the grass people ignored Liu Bei?" In fact, the grass people have long counted Liu Bei, but unfortunately Liu Bei has no place in Jingzhou. His Majesty's army went south, and the first thing to bear the brunt was Liu Bei, with Liu Bei's troops, and the terrain of Nanyang, he could not resist His Majesty's army, and in the end he could only flee all the way. ”
Zhuge Liang is considered to be half of Nanyang's head snake, and most of the Jingzhou families have a trace of connection with Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying, Zhuge Liang has such a big confidence to say this, and Zhuge Liang himself is quite confident in his own strength.
"Maybe he can flee to Koto and ask for Koto's help. Liu Bei, I understand, for the sake of his ambitions, he can do anything. Liu Yu said.
"In this way, isn't Jingzhou in His Majesty's bag? If Liu Bei fled to Jiangdong, even if he was taken in with Sun Bofu's temper, Liu Bei would never want to have a bright future in his life. The grass people felt that Liu Bei was more likely to flee to Yizhou, and it was very likely that he would seize the power of Yizhou with his person. Zhuge Liang concluded.
"Haha, Kong Ming, you seem to know Liu Bei very well!" Liu Yu said with a smile.
"The grass people have investigated Liu Bei before." Zhuge Liang said frankly.
Zhuge Liang once investigated the personalities and past of all the princes to see which one was suitable for him and could let him assist with his heart.
It's a pity that these are all useless now, and Liu Yu won't let him throw himself into other people.
"Kong Ming, do you know why I will mobilize so many forces to find you, even at the expense of strength?" Liu Yu suddenly brought up this matter.
Zhuge Liang thought to himself that it was not because he was a talent that was worth getting if you were rough, otherwise my brother would still be staying in Nanyang peacefully.
Zhuge Liang respectfully pretended to be stupid and said: "The grass people don't know. ”
"Wolong, phoenix chicks, you have to settle the world. Whether others believe this sentence or not, I believe it. Shiyuan is known as the first scholar in Nanzhou, and Kong Ming compares himself to Zhong Leyi, so talented, wouldn't it be a pity that I missed it. That's why I care so much about you and Shi Yuan, and fortunately, with God's blessing, I have got both of you. Liu Yu smiled.
Zhuge Liang really wanted to say: Your Majesty, the grass people haven't promised you yet.
If Zhuge Liang didn't mean to serve Liu Yu, then he wouldn't have said so much just now.
Liu Yu understood what Zhuge Liang meant, and said with a smile: "I know that Kong Ming you want to come to my command. I didn't let you come to see me immediately after I learned that you had arrived in Luoyang, I chose to let you see with your own eyes everything about me, and the current situation of the people under my rule. I believe that with your wisdom, you will make the right choice. I am willing to give you time, but also a kind of confidence in myself. ”
A trace of unnaturalness flashed on Zhuge Liang's face, and he felt in his heart that His Majesty's cheeks were too thick, and he just didn't want him to find it, although he also had the intention of understanding Liu Yu, but he didn't make up his mind to surrender to Liu Yu at first.
Liu Yu keenly captured this and smiled evilly: "I have a principle. If I want to get someone and don't want to serve me, I'll destroy him. Shi Yuan was a little stiffer at that time, and I used a little means to subdue him. I don't want Kong Ming to be like Shi Yuan was before, and I will be so ruthless that even I will feel scared. What do you think? Kong Ming, you won't let me down. ”
Zhuge Liang didn't expect Liu Yu to threaten himself so directly and arrogantly. Zhuge Liang now regrets a little bit, he chose to come to Luoyang and sent it to the door.
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he drank the tea leisurely, and couldn't help but say: "Good tea!" ”
Zhuge Liang finally made a choice.
"Grass people Zhuge Kongming, willing to obey His Majesty's arrangement!" Zhuge Liang respectfully knelt down in front of Liu Yu.
Liu Yu helped Zhuge Liang up and said excitedly: "Kong Ming, I'm very happy, I'm really happy." ”
Liu Yu said that it was false not to be excited, he said so much just now, Liu Yu was really worried that Zhuge Liang would reject him, so he had to deal with Zhuge Liang, even with Zhuge Jun, and he had to take over the mortal enmity with Zhuge Jin in Jiangdong, which was too cost-effective.
Fortunately, at this moment, Liu Yu finally realized the talent that Liu Yu wanted most in this era.
Zhuge Liang could see Liu Yu's excitement from the bottom of his heart, and it seemed that his status in Liu Yu's mind was very high.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your continued attention!" Zhuge Liang was also very moved in his heart.
The two of them just supported each other with their hands, and their eyes looked at each other.
"Kong Ming, I know your ability, but I don't know how to arrange you, which position you want, you say, I meet you!" Liu Yu This is a kind of temptation of Zhuge Liang.
History says that Zhuge Liang is a bit greedy for power and likes to grasp everything at once. Liu Yu wanted to see if Zhuge Liang was like this.
Zhuge Liang said very simply: "Since Your Majesty is gracious, the minister wants to go to the military aircraft!" ”
Good guy, as soon as you open your mouth, you are the center of the country.
"The importance of the Military Aircraft Department is clear to the minister. Like Shi Yuan, the minister wanted to learn about the specific situation of the imperial court from the military aircraft, so that he could better do things for His Majesty. Zhuge Liang said his reasons, and he believed that Liu Yu would agree.
Liu Yu smiled, and Zhuge Liang reminded him that since Pang Tong can go to the Military Aircraft Department, then he can naturally enter the Military Aircraft Department with the same name as Pang Tong.
"The Military Aircraft Department is full of young talents and wise men in the dynasty, and it is best for Kong Ming to enter the Military Aircraft Department. I agreed to your request, and you, like Shi Yuan, should serve under the throne of the great general Huang Zhong. And I believe that Kong Ming will have a good time at the military plane. Because there is a young talent in it who is on par with Kong Ming, I am looking forward to what kind of sparks will collide between you. Liu Yu agreed to Zhuge Liang's request, and even seduced Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang's heart moved, someone who can be on par with himself? The only person he knew was Pang Tong, but Pang Tong had already left the military aircraft department and went to the front line. Who else is there besides Pang Tong?
"Your Majesty, can you make it clear that the minister also wants to know who can be compared with the minister." Zhuge Liang asked modestly.
Liu Yu knew that Zhuge Liang's competitiveness was ignited, so he said: "You should have seen this person, he is Hanoi Sima Yi Sima Zhongda." The points you just raised, Zhong Da also put forward a similar plan, but it was different from your focus on Jingzhou, he suggested that I attack Yizhou, and put forward a detailed plan. From this point of view, you are all outstanding wise men, and I would like you to show your talents at the military plane. Let the world know your names. ”
Zhuge Liang understood, it turned out to be Sima Yi who fought with him and won. Unexpectedly, he also proposed a similar strategy to Liu Yu, and it seems that he is a respectable competitor.
"Kong Ming, I have the greatest expectations for you, Shiyuan, and Zhongda, and I hope that you can help me restore this great man to peace! I hope that you will become the new Minister of Military Aircraft in the future, and become the most famous virtuous minister of the Han Dynasty. Liu Yu said solemnly to Zhuge Liang.
Liu Yu has long defined Sima Yi, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang as the three future ministers of military aircraft of the Han Dynasty, but now he only says it to Zhuge Liang.
With such great expectations, Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "Minister Zhuge Kongming, I am willing to bow and die for Your Majesty!" ”
Zhuge Liang felt that he had met the most suitable master for himself.
Liu Yu looked at Zhuge Liang and nodded, there were already three of the great demon talents in the Three Kingdoms era in his hands, this feeling was really wonderful.
It's just that Liu Yu can't take it lightly, Cao Cao has Guo Jia, Sun Ce has Zhou Yu, and these two talents can't be dealt with casually.
Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Time flies too fast.
