"Gollum, Gollum!"

Above the stove, there is a teapot.

After the tea is boiled, there is a fresh fragrance in the study.

Zhuge Liang stood up, rolled up his cuffs, carried the teapot and poured tea for Zhuge Jin's teacup, and then poured tea for his third brother Zhuge Jun, and finally poured water for himself.

Three people, very serious tea tasting.

"Whew! Call! ”

Zhuge Jin took a sip of hot tea and said with some sadness: "Second brother, third brother, after today, I don't know when and when our three brothers will be able to meet!" ”

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and asked, "Brother, are you really in such a hurry to leave, can't you leave after the New Year?" ”

Zhuge Jin shook his head and said, "After the New Year, maybe there will be something again, let's go early." ”

Zhuge Jin smiled and said loudly: "The situation in Jiangdong is already the dominant one of the Sun family, even if Gan Ning leads the naval army to attack and disturb Jiangdong, it will be a small fight after all, and it will be difficult to become a big one." Moreover, Sun Jian is brave, Sun Ce is resolute, Sun Quan is calm, and the three fathers and sons can be described as tiger fathers and tiger sons, who can be called Lao Tzu's heroic sons and heroes, and have become a hegemon. I'm going to defect now, and with my own talents, I'm sure I'll be able to gain a firm foothold in Koto. ”

At this time, it was December 21 of the fifth year of Xingping, and it was almost the sixth year of Xingping in a blink of an eye.

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he was immediately silent.

Zhuge Jun showed reluctance on his face and said, "Brother, my brother is reluctant to let you leave!" ”

Zhuge Jin sighed: "Sooner or later, I have to leave, what is there to be reluctant to." Although Xiangyang is good, it is only a temporary place for us to live, not a place to take root. ”

Zhuge lowered his head, very sad in his heart.

Zhuge Jin glanced at Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun, and also fell silent.

In the study, the atmosphere became stagnant.

After a long time, Zhuge Jin asked out loud: "Second brother, you have been smart and talented since you were a child, and you have the ability to help the people through the world, who have you ever thought about going to?" ”

Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea and said lightly: "I haven't thought about it yet!" ”

Zhuge Jin frowned, a little disbelieving.

Immediately, he said tentatively: "Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu, and he has already taken the advantage and become the overlord of the north. Now Yuan Shao is already at sunset, and he will be defeated by Cao Cao after all. I often hear that Cao Cao is eager to be talented and attaches great importance to talented people, why don't you go to Cao Cao? ”

"Cao Cao?"

Zhuge Liang laughed and shook his head slightly.

Zhuge Jin showed a disappointed expression on his face and said, "Why, isn't Cao Cao worth running to?" ”

Zhuge Liang rubbed the teacup and said softly: "Cao Cao can be called a generation of heroes, but this person is too suspicious, and the Lu Boyu family in the past is the best proof." And Cao Cao is thirsty for killing, poisoning the Son of Heaven, it is even more annoying, in the past he led troops to attack Xuzhou Tao Qian, and let the soldiers slaughter the people, such a person will not die well after all, it is difficult to achieve a great cause. Moreover, Cao Cao has Xun Yu, Liu Ye, Chen Qun, Man Zhong and many other strategists, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to show my ambitions after I go! ”

Zhuge Jin asked again: "In this case, what about Wang Can in Shuzhong?" ”

At the mention of Wang Can, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a fierce color.

He sneered and shouted: "Wang Can raised troops to attack Chang'an without authorization and plundered the Son of Heaven, this is an unloyal person; Wang Can attacked Liangzhou, killed Liu Yan, the former Yizhou pastor, imprisoned Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang, and attacked his colleagues, which was an unkind person; Wang Can occupies people's wives and daughters, and plunders everywhere, this is a person without virtue. How can such an unfaithful, unkind, and virtuous person make me work? ”

After a pause, Zhuge Liang said again: "Wang Can is just a Yellow Turban bandit, with a humble background and a humble identity, and he dares to attack the Son of Heaven, such a person is simply a thief of the country, I hate to slaughter this liao with my own hands." ”

If Wang Can is here, I am afraid that he will be so angry that he will smoke.

Good guy, he was listed so many crimes by Zhuge Liangluo, and he didn't know how to offend Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Jun frowned and said, "Second brother, is Wang Can so bad?" I heard that after Wang Can occupied Yizhou, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a happy life, and Wang Can did a lot of things for the people! ”

Zhuge Jin said: "Second brother, your words are a bit excessive. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head, but did not refute.

Zhuge Jin continued: "Second brother, you are neither defecting to Cao Cao nor Wang Can, are you preparing to leave Xiangyang with me and go to Sun Jian?" ”

Zhuge Liang still shook his head and said: "Sun Jian occupies Jiangdong, although he is a hegemon, his own pattern is too small, and it is difficult to leap into the dragon gate. Brother, I advise you not to go to Jiangdong, it will be difficult to achieve great things. ”

Zhuge Jin said: "Although Jiangdong is small, the ambitions of Sun's father and son are not small. ”

Zhuge Jin didn't dwell on the affairs of Jiangdong, and immediately said: "The three major princes in the world, Cao Cao, Wang Can and Sun Jian, you don't choose any of them, so who are you going to choose?" Did he stay in Jingzhou to assist Liu Biao, or Liu Biao's heir? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Biao's family is just guarding Jingzhou temporarily, and it will be destroyed after all. ”

Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, unable to understand Zhuge Liang's thoughts.

After a pause, Zhuge Jin said: "Second brother, I hope you can choose one of Cao Cao and Wang Can to assist, and then the third brother will choose one of them." Our three brothers each occupy one side, each for their master, even if two of them are defeated, and one side leaves incense, the Zhuge family can also glorify the lintel. ”

In fact, this is Zhuge Jin's ultimate goal.

Brothers have three points, one for each.

In fact, such a practice is relatively common in large families, and it is also very realistic, and it is a family's plan to take precautions. Historically, the Xun family is like this, the people of the Xun family are distributed between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and the eggs are put in two baskets, and after all, one can be preserved and revitalized the family.

Zhuge Liang straightened his chest and said loudly: "Brother, as long as I am here, the Zhuge family will not perish, but will only prosper more, you wait and see." ”

Zhuge Jin asked loudly; "Who, then, do you choose? The situation in the world is already very clear, obviously Cao Cao, Wang Can and Sun Jian divide the situation of the world, and it is impossible for other princes to intervene, you should understand this truth. ”

"Wrong!"

Zhuge Liang spit out a word clearly, and said sonorously: "With me, the world will not be divided into three parts." ”

After thinking about it carefully, Zhuge Jin suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that you chose Liu Bei, and you actually chose him!" In addition to Cao Cao, Wang Can and Sun Jian, Zhuge Jin only thought of this person who became a lost dog in a flash in the pan.

Zhuge Liang didn't say no, nor did he say right.

Zhuge Jin had an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, and said: "Second brother, Liu Bei is just a lost dog, and you can't succeed if you choose him." To the north of Jingzhou is Cao Cao, to the south is Sun Jian, to the north is Wang Can, and to the east is Sun Jian and Cao Cao. Even if you defect to Liu Bei, there is nowhere to stay, there is no chance of success, there is no possibility! ”

It's loud, and there's already a sense of quarrel.

Zhuge Liang's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "Brother, whether Liu Bei can succeed or not, my brother has his own measure." The situation in this world seems clear, but it is not. What you have gained can be lost, and what you have lost can be taken back. Liu Bei is temporarily subservient to others, but he still has an unyielding heart, and Liu Bei is a member of the royal family, which is also a big advantage for him. Brother, don't underestimate people, maybe Sun Jian is not as good as Liu Bei! ”

Zhuge Jin was angry in his heart, and persuaded him: "Second brother, you and I are both understanding people. Now there is no owner in the world, and the Son of Heaven has passed away for some years, but there is still no new lord to succeed him, and the people have gradually forgotten the Han Dynasty. Don't be stupid. ”

Zhuge Liang had a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Brother, this is my own choice, it has nothing to do with you, and I don't need you to interfere." ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang's tone also changed.

Zhuge Jin sighed helplessly and asked, "Third brother, between Wang Can and Cao Cao, who will you choose?" ”

Zhuge Jun said as a matter of course: "I choose Wang Can, I heard that Chengdu is very good, and I have the idea of traveling and want to go out for a walk." My uncle has died, my brother is going to Jiangdong, my second brother chose Liu Bei, and I have nothing to do alone, so I just go to the Chengdu Academy of Sciences to see new things. ”

Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Don't go, what's good in Chengdu, stay at home and study hard." ”

Zhuge Jun scratched his head, revealing a helpless expression.

Zhuge Jin snorted coldly and said, "Third brother, there is a big brother to support you, you can go." However, don't keep silent after you go, show your talent and revitalize the Zhuge family, understand? ”

Zhuge Jun smiled and nodded heavily.

In the grass house, the brothers are divided into three points, and they are no longer fellow travelers.

PS: The fourth shift is completed, and the work is over.
