Zhuge Liang's cottage looks very simple from the outside, but when you enter the inside, you will find that it has everything, running water, flush toilets, and even geothermal heat, this is simply a luxury hotel with a simple façade.

Huang Yueying finished teaching her two apprentices, and at this moment she also came to the grass house, and in a moment of kung fu, she turned into a virtuous lady, dignified on one side to prepare various tea sets for the two men in front of her.

Zhuge Liang still kept the feather fan on his body, and every time he instigated, he would unconsciously look at the folding fan that Yuan Yun was holding, because there was a very ugly little boy painted on it, and he even showed a little dingding, I really don't know what Yuan Yun thinks, he has to get such a vulgar thing in his hand.

"I went to Xiangyang City here, but I learned a lot of unknown secrets, Yuan Hou wants to hear a thing or two?" When Zhuge Liang spoke, he still looked unfathomable.

The most unbearable thing for Yuan Yun is that others are holding something to blackmail him, that kind of high-minded appearance, he wants to go up and give a fist when he looks at it, and at this moment, when he heard Zhuge Liang ask like this, he replied with nothing on his face: "There is no interest in Xiangyang's affairs, it's just Liu Biao, and Ben Hou doesn't pay much attention to it." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Liu Biao is indeed very easy to deal with, but if the matter involves Yuan Hou's enemy Liu Bei, I wonder if Yuan Hou will be so calm?" ”

Yuan Yun actually guessed in his heart that Liu Biao was suddenly sick in bed, and it must have something to do with that Liu Bei, and now Liu Bei is most eager to develop a piece of his own territory in Jingzhou, but Liu Biao's military advisor Cai Mao, and his second wife Cai, are very wary of Liu Bei, which makes it difficult for him to exert his fists and kicks, and with his hypocrite character, it is impossible not to move his crooked brain.

"I naturally don't like Liu Bei, but it's not very difficult to deal with him, Xinye is not far from Wancheng, if Luoyang sends a gunpowder army over, how long does Brother Kong Ming think Liu Bei can resist?" After Yuan Yun finished speaking, his eyes fell out of the window again, and he looked completely indifferent.

Zhuge Liang was a little surprised, originally thought that as long as Liu Bei was involved, then Yuan Yun would inevitably be nervous, so that he could order another batch of steel with Luoyang, but now there are several more workshops in Longzhong, and the demand for steel has increased greatly.

"Brother Kong Ming can't honestly buy steel with me, it's very boring to rely on credit every time." Yuan Yun sighed, just in time to say what Zhuge Liang was thinking.

Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, and then smiled in an instant: "I showed it for you first." ”

Yuan Yun took the folding fan with a sigh, now the early spring has passed, the weather is still very cold, and he can't stand the fan by the window all the time, he is not as afraid of heat as Zhuge Liang, so after receiving the folding fan, he asked solemnly: "How much steel do you need?" In addition, is cement and masonry also needed? ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "The amount of steel is definitely not enough, as for the cement and masonry, these Liang have already made some statistics, when Yuan Hou leaves in a while, Liang will hand over the account books to you, and this time he will exchange the materials with Yuan Hou in Longzhong, lest you always say that Liang likes to owe credit, and Liang seems to have no credibility at all." ”

"You haven't paid the balance for the first few times, what kind of credibility do you have to talk to me?" Yuan Yun scolded in his heart, and then shook his head and said: "Now that the output of steel is a lot more, as long as you don't exaggerate too much, you should be able to transport some over, as for how much can be transported, it depends on the demand elsewhere in Luoyang, as long as I have leftovers, it doesn't hurt to give them to you." ”

When Zhuge Liang heard Yuan Yun say this, he was stunned for a while, and then asked, "When did Yuan Hou become so concerned with Liang Tui?" Aren't you afraid that Liang will take your steel production knife soldiers? ”

Yuan Yun pursed his lips, then pointed out the window and said, "What are you doing making sword soldiers?" For the women and children outside, or for the young people? If you plan to make sword soldiers to sell, presumably Liu Biao will soon lead troops to Longzhong, right? Brother Kong Ming is a smart person, I don't need to remind him of this. ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun took the tea bowl handed over by Huang Yueying, and then continued: "I came to Longzhong this time to invite you Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, you must have guessed a thing or two, right?"

I mentioned this proposal to you a long time ago, if anyone in the world has more confidence in you Zhuge Liang, and is so patient, it is estimated that there will be no second person except me Yuan Yun, right? ”

The feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand finally stopped stirring, but squinted his eyes slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but seeing Zhuge Liang like this, Yuan Yun raised his heart to his throat.

Because since Zhuge Liang has this expression, it means that he is really thinking about it seriously, and once he thinks about it clearly, then maybe he will promise himself today, or veto it again.

"Does Yuan Hou know why Liang has been staying in Longzhong?" Zhuge Liang suddenly jumped away from the topic, which made Yuan Yun a little surprised.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Yuan Yun's expression and continued: "Now that the north has been basically pacified by Cao Sikong, and then he is bound to go south to Yangzhou, and the current Sun family is not what it used to be, and has gathered enough strength south of the river, and this world has become a battlefield for the two of them, and the two males are fighting, and maybe the weaker forces on one side have a chance......"

"There's no chance, Jingzhou Liu Biao can only guard his house, Yizhou Liu Zhang's painting of ladies is okay, fighting for the world is simply, don't you see that he can't even deal with a little Zhang Lu? In addition to these two families, can Brother Kong Ming come up with another family? ”

When Yuan Yun said this, he felt a little sorry in his heart, because he knew history, the opportunity that Zhuge Liang just said would indeed create a new powerful force, that is, Liu Bei, but nothing has happened now, if you don't fool Zhuge Liang at this moment, then there is really no chance, because Liu Bei has begun to seek to seize Jingzhou, then he will definitely start to gather talents everywhere, in case he finds Zhuge Liang through other methods, his years of business will be over.

Zhuge Liang's brows were already furrowed, because it was indeed as Yuan Yun said, he originally thought that Liu Biao could become the climate, and then stand up to Cao Cao and Sun Ce, so that his great plan of Zhuge Liang could be implemented, but after seeing Liu Biao a few times, he found that Liu Biao was really difficult to do.

"The idea of a three-legged tripod is really good, but it's a pity that your tripod feels like you're missing a leg now, don't fool you into the water at this time, but when?" Yuan Yun thought so in his heart, and looked at Zhuge Liang carefully.

Zhuge Liang sighed secretly, the current situation is indeed like this, and there is really no hope of finding another force that can be countered by Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

"There are too many things in this world that can realize Brother Kong Ming's ambitions, why do you limit yourself to this small circle?" Yuan Yun saw Zhuge Liang's regretful look, and made up for it again, no matter what, he had to pull Zhuge Liang onto the big ship in Luoyang today.

Zhuge Liang was a little curious, so he asked: "In addition to the competition in this world, what else can be more exciting?" ”

Frog at the bottom of the well!

Yuan Yun said secretly in his heart, and in an instant, he took out a map from his arms, and then slowly spread it out on the side of the coffee table, only to see that it seemed to draw a topographical map of the Western Regions and the northern Karasuma area.

Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Why did Yuan Hou give Liang a map of the Western Regions and Karasuma?" ”

Yuan Yun didn't answer directly, but took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Back then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established great martial arts, so he kept the Han family from foreign invasion for a long time, but the weeds can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows, and now these foreign races have begun to rise again." ”

After a slight pause, Yuan Yun pointed to his nose and asked, "Brother Kong Ming, can you trust me Yuan Yun?" ”

Zhuge Liang replied without hesitation: "Naturally, although Yuan Hou is a little scheming, cunning, and despicable......"

"Let's not talk about these haves and nots, I can boldly tell you that if the world of our Han people continues to make such a fuss, once these foreign races grow stronger, it will not be a matter of the survival of the Han family, but our entire race may be purged by others, and this will definitely happen sooner or later." Yuan Yun's face was solemn after speaking, without a hint of joke.

Zhuge Liang frowned, of course he wouldn't have thought of such a distant thing, so he asked directly, "How long will it take for this to happen?" ”

Yuan Yun sighed and said, "So before I say that, I have to ask Brother Kong Ming if he can trust me, because it will take at least a hundred years for those foreign races to develop strong enough." ”

"A hundred years? Yuan Hou is talking about a hundred years from now? When Zhuge Liang spoke, his face was cloudy, who could have predicted what would happen a hundred years later, this is simply a fantasy.

"Liang believed!" In an instant, Zhuge Liang actually said that he believed it, because he had seen Yuan Yun's ability countless times, and what he wouldn't believe at all was that Yuan Yun would come all the way to joke with him, so the credibility of this matter was very high.

"It's just that even if Liang believes it, what does Yuan Hou plan to let Liang do?" Zhuge Liang asked again.

Yuan Yun smiled, pointed to the map and said: "As long as we settle down in the Central Plains earlier, then we can take out our hands to do something more meaningful, such as soldiers out of the customs, like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty back then, to sweep away these forces that endanger the survival of our clan again, so that at least we can ensure the safety of our surroundings for hundreds of years."

And when doing these things, I very much hope that Brother Kong Ming can stand by my Yuan Yun's side, with you, this matter is basically half of the success, so that future generations can always remember our names. ”

Zhuge Liang immediately arched his hand when he heard this, and said, "I really didn't expect that in Yuan Hou's heart, Liang would have such an important position. ”

"Very important! If you come to Luoyang, this chaotic world will be quiet at least a hundred years earlier. Yuan Yun rushed out, with a determined look on his face.

Zhuge Liang is really a little inexplicable now, and in addition to that, he is very moved, he is indeed proud to be so valued by a figure like Yuan Yun.

"This world is definitely not just a piece of land like the Central Plains, there are too many places worthy of our attention, Brother Kong Ming might as well broaden your horizons, as long as you come to Luoyang, I can guarantee that you will definitely see a broader world, so big that you can't think about it." Yuan Yun saw that Zhuge Liang was a little moved, and immediately added.

Zhuge Liang looked at a wall in the grass house at this time, and the map of the world hung on it, he didn't know how many days and nights he would imagine this map, imagining that one day he could rely on his own hands to influence the situation of the whole world.

"Liang went to Luoyang, can he really make the world settle down a hundred years earlier?"

"In the whole world, it is estimated that no one has this ability, but you Zhuge Liang has, just in your thoughts, the world can be influenced by you."

"Hehe, if Liang goes to Luoyang, when does Yuan Hou think the world will be stable?"

"Within ten years, the world will be stable!"

"Good! What does it matter if Liang goes to Luoyang with Yuan Hou, but Liang first wants to explain that Liang only goes to Luoyang as Yuan Hou's staff, and does not belong to Cao Cao or Cao Ang. ”

"Deal!"

After the two high-fived, Yuan Yun finally put down a boulder in his heart, Zhuge Liang went to Luoyang, Liu Bei never had a chance to hear anything about Longzhong, and he never had a chance to do anything to fight against Cao, so in the later battle of Chibi, Cao Cao Xing may have succeeded in the first battle.

And Zhuge Liang is now willing to be his Yuan Yun's staff, isn't this his own little brother of Ma Zai, this is really happy, very happy.

After Zhuge Liang made a decision, his mood became much better, he had been worried because of the lack of that full kick before, but now these seem to have never existed.

Pouring the freshly brewed tea into Yuan Yun's cup, Zhuge Liang continued the topic and said: "Jingzhou Liu Biao is probably attacked by Liu Bei this time, and it is likely that Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi will be the attacker." ”10
