Chapter 41: Zhuge Liang's Temptation

Zhuge Liang gave the order, and two guards immediately walked in, raised their hands in salute and said, "What are your orders, military advisor?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Immediately send someone to the nearby village to buy ten live pigs. The time limit is three days, and it must be completed."

When the two guards heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little confused, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They quickly said: "Yes, I will do it immediately."

After saying that, the two of them immediately retreated.

After a while, Zhuge Liang suddenly stared at Liu Chan and said: "Young Master, now that I have implemented your proposal, can you tell me, Young Master, why do you want to raise pigs?"

When Liu Chan heard this, he couldn't help but think to himself: "I raise pigs purely to complete the task, but can I explain this reason?!"

Liu Chan thought for a while and replied: "Actually, I heard the old man I met that time say: 'As long as pigs are raised in the right way, they can not only provide fertilizer for crops, but also be slaughtered and eaten by people.' I was also curious,

I want to give it a try!"

"That old man again? Who is he?" Zhuge Liang suddenly became curious.

When Liu Chan heard this, he felt funny in his heart and thought: "If you knew that the 'old man' was a child like me, I don't know what your expression would be! Alas... I can only blame me for not growing up yet. These things can only

I leave it to that 'air old man'!"

Liu Chan said: "I don't know where he is from, I just know that he seems to know a lot!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly sighed and said: "How many masters have chosen to live alone in seclusion, which has led to endless wars in this world. I don't know when it will end! Alas... If only such a genius could be used by me!"

When Liu Chan saw this, he stopped talking and once again picked up the document that Zhuge Liang had just annotated and read it.

At first, Zhuge Liang was busy dealing with the documents, so Liu Chan took the documents to read, but he thought he was just having fun and didn't pay much attention to them. Then he saw Liu Chan looking at the documents very seriously, and he couldn't help being surprised again.

He suddenly asked aloud: "Young Master, do you recognize the words on it?"

Liu Chan looked at it seriously and said without thinking: "Of course I know, otherwise what would I be looking at!"

After saying a few words, Liu Chan suddenly realized something was wrong. He raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang's surprised eyes and asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Zhuge Liang's expression changed and he smiled and said: "It's nothing, young master, please continue reading."

After saying that, Zhuge Liang returned to the couch and continued to review the official documents on the desk...

I don't know how long it took, but the guard guarding the door came in with a tray and said respectfully: "Commander, young master, it's time to eat. Please take a rest."

Zhuge Liang looked at the desk and saw that there were no more official documents on it. He seemed relieved, raised his head and smiled and said: "Put it here."

The guard put down the tray, turned around and retreated.

When Liu Chan saw this, he was very moved and asked: "Sir, have you worked so hard since you followed your father?"

When Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Chan was still considerate of him at such a young age, he felt inexplicably moved in his heart and said, "My lord trusts me so much, how dare I show any slightest care?"

Liu Chan already knew Zhuge Liang's noble character. Zhuge Liang's words were not watery at all and were even very humble.

He had just been reading the official documents of Zhuge Liang's instructions, which contained all the important military and political affairs of Jingzhou, and even some details of personnel adjustments and management.

Zhuge Liang personally handled every detail, and the plans he came up with were all just right.

Liu Chan couldn't help but feel very lucky to have such an expert in political affairs.

Liu Chan said: "Now that we are in troubled times, I have been working hard to plan for my father. Although I have to do everything, I would like to ask you to take care of yourself so that you can enjoy the peaceful days after the great success is achieved and the world is unified."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang's expression changed again. Although he was moved, he was even more confused. He couldn't believe that these words came from Liu Chan's mouth, but he had to believe it.

This is what he heard and saw with his own eyes!

He even began to suspect that the person in front of him was not Liu Chan at all, but he had to believe his eyes!

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "Young master, how do you think we can unify the world?"

At this moment, his heart was full of expectations and worries.

He expected Liu Chan to give him a satisfactory answer, but he was also worried that his expectations were too high!

When Liu Chan heard this, he was immediately stunned, thinking: "Is this Zhuge Liang testing me? This is an opportunity. If I get his approval, it will be much easier to do things in the future!"

Liu Chan thought for a moment, organized his words, and said seriously: "Everyone in the world thinks that to unify this troubled world, we need strong generals and elite soldiers, but I don't think so."

Zhuge Liang responded promptly: "Oh? What do you need?"

Liu Chan said: "It is nothing more than the support of the people! Having the support of the people is more useful than seizing ten cities and having millions of soldiers! As the saying goes, if you are in good ways, you will get many help, but if you are in bad ways, there will be few. This truth, I believe sir, must be clearer than me."

As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Liang was immediately moved. The reason why he chose to follow the weak Liu Bei in the first place was not only Liu Bei's sincerity in visiting the thatched cottage, but more importantly, he valued Liu Bei's popularity.

But now that Liu Chan had such an opinion at such a young age, how could he not be excited?

But Zhuge Liang did not show it. He asked: "What the young master said is that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. This is an eternal philosophy, but how to win the hearts of the people?"

Zhuge Liang's expectations for Liu Chan have gone one step further.

Liu Chan said: "In fact, it is very simple to win the hearts of the people. They don't need any fancy words, let alone any useless benevolence, justice and morality. What they want is just enough food, warm clothing and a peaceful life! As long as they can do this

At three o'clock, the people will support and follow you wholeheartedly! Naturally, there will be countless elite soldiers and fierce generals!"

Although the truth of this sentence is simple and easy to understand, Zhuge Liang's heart was greatly impacted.

He suddenly remembered that when Cao Cao went south, tens of thousands of people in Jingzhou rushed to submit to Liu Bei, but because Liu Bei had no place to stay, all these tens of thousands of people were kidnapped by Cao Cao!

This is so heartbreaking and chilling to the people!

If Liu Bei owned one county in Jingzhou at that time, how could he only have this small number of troops now?

But time passed and the border moved. Although they now occupy the four counties of Jingzhou, the people no longer risk their lives to follow Cao Cao like they did when he went south.

Zhuge Liang suddenly had an idea in his mind and asked, "Master, do you want to follow me to the military camp?"

When Liu Chan heard this, he couldn't believe his ears and confirmed: "Is what you said sir true?"

Zhuge Liang didn't answer, just nodded with a smile, then picked up the bowl and started eating.
