Guanzhong, Kasaka, the general's house.

Li Ru asked a little puzzled: "Lord, did you send Zhuge Liang's scholar gift back like this?" ”

After Zhuge Liang was invited, he was extremely generously entertained by Chen Xu.

Some time ago, the scholar was not in a hurry to go back, but played in the streets and alleys of Kasaka, farmhouses and fields every day.

Even, he often went to the Guanzhong military camp to watch the soldiers practice martial arts and formations. Chen Xu turned a blind eye to these.

Wen Zhao unfolded a volume of documents, looked at the contents inside, and said casually: "It's just a scholar, even if you detain it, it won't be beneficial, but it seems that we are so narrow." ”

"In that case, the right should be to invite this person to come to Guanzhong as a guest."

Li Ru still said indignantly: "The lord kindly invited that Zhuge Liang, but he didn't want this person to play us like this, it is really hateful." ”

"I was about to send someone to arrest Zhuge Liang again, why did the lord refuse?"

Wen Zhao shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Just imagine, this time, I waited for the surprise and failed to invite Zhuge Liang when he was defenseless. ”

Now that he has a vigilance in his heart, with this person's talent and wisdom, it is absolutely impossible to 'invite' him to Guanzhong. After all, Jingzhou is not under our rule. ”

When Li Ru heard this, he also felt quite helpless in his heart.

He was silent for a long time before he asked again: "This person is far away in Xiangyang, how does the lord know that Zhuge Liang has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes?" ”

Wen Zhao raised his head and said with a smile: "If I say that there are gods and men to help me and tell me about this in my dream, does Wen You believe it?" ”

Li Ru smiled bitterly twice and shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Wen Zhao laughed twice and said, "You don't need to know the cause and effect, as long as you know this person, it is a rare person in the world." ”

Speaking of this, Wen Zhao's face suddenly became serious, and he said, "If this person is an enemy of us in the future, Wen You will fight against him, don't be careless." ”

Li Ru looked at Wen Zhao's face, and then said solemnly: "My lord, please rest assured, after this time, Confucianism will naturally no longer despise him." ”

Wen Zhao didn't answer, nodded noncommittally, but secretly thought in his heart: "Even if Wen You doesn't despise Zhuge Liang, I'm afraid he will suffer at his hands." ”

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

But it was said that in the Shuijing Villa, after Zhuge Liang recommended Liu Bei to Xu Shu, everyone looked at Zhuge Liang in great surprise, only Pang Tong's eyes narrowed slightly, thoughtfully.

Liu Bei in this time and space did not fight with Lu Bu in Xuzhou, was not regarded as an imperial uncle by the Son of Heaven, and did not experience the matter of the edict, and his reputation was far inferior to Liu Bei in history.

The current Liu Bei has no more than a few thousand soldiers, no more than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and only Sun Qian and Jian Yong as strategists. Moreover, he is only living in Jingzhou now, and there is no place to stand.

From this point of view, Liu Bei is not an ideal lord no matter what. No one thought that Zhuge Liang would recommend Liu Bei to Xu Shu at this time.

As if seeing the doubts in everyone's hearts, Zhuge Liang said with a gentle smile on his face: "There is a divine beast called a dragon, which can be big and small, and can be promoted and hidden. ”

"The big ones are spitting out the clouds, and the small ones are hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. ”

"Guanzhong Chen Wenzhao, in the troubled times, took advantage of the situation, his popularity swallowed mountains and rivers, crisscrossed the four seas, soared in Kyushu, is the dragon of the world."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly burst into a bright light, and he said passionately: "However, there is a kind of dragon that is called a hidden dragon. ”

"The dragon swims in shallow water and is played by shrimp, even if it is a divine beast and a true dragon, not all of them can ride the clouds and fog and take off for nine days. Either because of bad luck or because the time has not come, they hide and hibernate, like a hidden dragon in the abyss. ”

"However, when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it is lacking, and there is no absoluteness in everything. Maybe today's precipitation and momentum are for the sake of being able to burst out more dazzling in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang said meaningfully: "The golden scales are not in the pool after all, they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds, maybe what Liu Yuanjun lacks is just a cloud that can make him turn into a dragon." ”

"When it really breaks free from its own shackles, it will be the sea that leaps with the fish, and the sky is high and the birds fly."

When everyone heard that Zhuge Liang had such a high opinion of Liu Bei, they couldn't help frowning and thinking about it.

They are all resourceful and resourceful, with their own thoughts, and they will not change their views on Liu Bei because of Zhuge Liang's words.

But Zhuge Liang's talent, they all know it in their hearts.

Liu Bei can get such a high evaluation from Zhuge Liang, which is enough to make several people look at Liu Bei with admiration.

Xu Shu stroked his beard lightly and said, "Although I have heard of the name of Liu Yuanjun, I don't know much about him. Since Ah Liang values this person so much, it doesn't hurt for me to go see him another day. ”

Pang Tong's eyes flickered slightly, but he secretly thought in his heart: "Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, you want to assist a weak prince in order to achieve your reputation, but why do you want to drag Yuan straight into the water." ”

Others can't see through Zhuge Liang's thoughts, how can Pang Tong not know?

Zhuge Liang had already found a lord for himself, but he had not yet reached the time to go out of the mountain, so he encouraged Xu Shu to go to Liu Bei first to strengthen Liu Bei's power.

In this way, Xu Shu defected to Liu Bei, which can not only pave the way for Zhuge Liang to go out of the mountain in the future, but also improve Liu Bei's current embarrassing situation in advance.

In history, it was Xu Shu who recommended Zhuge Zedong, but how many people knew that all of this was actually in Zhuge Liang's calculations.

"Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, Chen Wenzhao has become a big trend, where did you get the confidence to be able to help Liu Xuande, who has no place to stand, occupy a side in this troubled world?"

Tightening his collar, Pang Tong felt a little chill on his body. He walked slowly around the courtyard, trying to warm himself up.

"The strongest prince in the world is none other than Guanzhong Chen Wenzhao. Now that the Qiang people have been decided, and Hanzhong has been taken by them, Yizhou will become something in his pocket sooner or later. ”

"If Chen Wenzhao captures Yizhou again, he will sit on the land of four states, accounting for nearly one-third of the world's population."

"At that time, the situation in the world was very similar to the trend of the Qin State sweeping Liuhe. Unless the princes of the world can abandon their selfish thoughts in their hearts and join forces to resist Guanzhong, they will have a slight chance of winning. ”

"Otherwise, the world will be taken over by Chen Wenzhao sooner or later."

Cui Jun, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian heard Pang Tong's words, and their bodies were all slightly shocked, and then they showed thoughtful expressions.

Zhuge Liang's face also became serious, he pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "The situation in the world is changing rapidly, who can say clearly what will happen in the future?" ”

(Thank you for the 10,000 yuan reward from the book friend 'Purple Moon Xingyuan', it really gave me a big surprise, and I added a new chapter today.) Locked into the small black room at night and wrote half of the power outage, I continued to write after the call, and it just came out, so it was a little late. ）
