Deng Yu was the leader of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. His younger brother met Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Guangwu, in Taixue. When he was twenty-two years old, he heard that Liu Xiu was going to Fu Hebei.
The mastermind. Before the age of 23, he held the status of a general and supervised the troops entering Guanzhong from the west. At the age of 24, he conquered Shanxi, became a disciple of the Three Company, and granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, no one has been able to match him. Although there were defeats later, his shortcomings cannot be concealed.
, Liu Xiu compared him to Confucius and Yan Hui, and he was the well-deserved first hero of the ZTE.
Liu Jing described his inner joy at this moment by saying that his ancestor Liu Xiuye met Deng Yu. He had such high expectations for Zhuge Liang that even Zhuge Liang himself was a little surprised.
Although he often compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and has great ambitions, he is only twenty years old after all, and his situation is different from Deng Yu. When Deng Yu defected to Liu Xiu, although he was only in his early twenties, he was already a well-known celebrity in Nanyang, and Liu
Xiu had almost nothing except his righteous name. In contrast, Zhuge Liang had no reputation, and Liu Jing had already occupied Jingnan and established a foundation. Therefore, he did not expect that as soon as he entered Changsha, he would be entrusted by Liu Jing to serve as the mastermind.
appoint. : :
But it was obvious that Zhuge Liang had greatly underestimated his position in Liu Jing's heart. In fact, he had always felt that Liu Jing had a mysterious confidence in him. Unexpectedly, after several years of separation between the two parties, it still remained unchanged.
Zhuge Liang thought of his friend Xu Shu in the car, managed to calm down, and asked: "Zhongda, do you still remember the friend Xu Yuanzhi I mentioned to you in my letter before?"
"Of course I remember." Liu Jing's heart moved when he heard this. Zhuge Liang's words were naturally not without purpose. Could it be that Xu Shu is here too?
Zhuge Liang added: "He has always heard that Zhongda is wise, loyal, generous and loving, and respects the virtuous, so he came south with me to join..."
Xu Shu heard Zhuge Liang's introduction, walked out of the cart, bowed to Liu Jing and said: "I'm going down to Yingchuan, Xu Shu, to pay my respects to Liu Lingling."
"really……"
Liu Jing looked at Xu Shu curiously. He was about thirty years old, more than seven feet tall, wearing a sparse turban and single clothes, with a long sword on his waist, and a resolute appearance.
Xu Shu in history is not as miraculous as in the novel, but he is still a talent. Zhuge Liang commented that Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian, three friends, could advance to the position of governor or county governor.
However, this was only Zhuge Liang's view when he was young. Decades later, during his Northern Expedition, he heard that Xu Shu and Shi Tao had low official positions in Cao Wei, and lamented that there were so many talented people in Cao Wei? That the talented people in his eyes were not reused.
If the two of them had not gone north and surrendered to Cao Cao, but had chosen to stay, they would have achieved greater success. Especially Xu Shu, with how much Liu Bei valued him, as long as he did not die, he would definitely become the core of Shu Han's power in the future. There is no peace in the future.
Pang Tong and Fazheng Tongzhuan can at least compare with the likes of Liu Ba and Dong He.
It is a pity that since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. After his mother was captured by Cao Jun, Xu Shu's heart was in chaos. He could not be like Zhu Ling, who threatened his mother and brother in the face of the enemy, and finally made the decision to abandon his mother and brother and "break up the family for the country"
"Feat". Of course, it is not like that of Bi Zhan. After his family was captured by Zhang Miao, he expressed his determination to be loyal to Cao Cao, which made the hero Cao Cao cry. He turned around and fled secretly.
Xu Shu asked Liu Bei to resign in person, with his fingers in his heart and his sincere words, which moved everyone who heard him. The two regretted that they could not create a career of kingship together, but they also left a good historical story.
"Presumably Xu Shu's mother also came to Changsha with him..." Liu Jing thought to himself. With his rise in Jingnan, the fate of more and more historical figures was changed by him.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little pity for Liu Bei who was holding Cao Cao back in Runan at the moment. Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Huo Jun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Feng Xi, Gao Xiang... Before Liu Bei came to Jingzhou, his team had already
He was dug up by Liu Jing.
"You're welcome Yuan Zhi." Liu Jing stretched out his hand and took Xu Shu's forearm, laughing and saying: "Kong Ming repeatedly praised Yuan Zhi's talents in his letters, saying that Yuan Zhi satirized "Poems" and "Books", Ming Dynasty, Shen Dynasty and Han Dynasty.
He is a rare and talented person who is well versed in Confucianism and law." At this point, Liu Jing paused for a moment and then said: "Jingnan has suffered from natural and man-made disasters in recent years. Nowadays, the counties and counties are exhausted, and there are many wastes waiting to be revitalized.
Recently, I have often prayed to heaven: 'Thinking of Emperor Tuoshi, I will be born in this kingdom.' Unexpectedly, God would send two sages of this world to me today."
Xu Shu said with a humble face: "I am nine years older than Kong Ming. I am still slow to learn and work hard to become proficient in reading. However, Kong Ming does not follow the rules and sentences in his reading. He only looks at the outline, but he can understand the essence. I am not as good as me."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Some people like to study intensively, while others like to read extensively. There is no difference between the two."
"Kong Ming's words make sense." Liu Jing nodded in agreement, and then said: "By the way, Kong Ming, I heard someone reported that you came with your whole family, why didn't you see your family members?"
Zhuge Liang replied: "This time I went south, I carried a lot of belongings with me, especially books. I couldn't move them all in a short time, so I left my family at the ferry to take care of them." During the five years Zhuge Liang lived in Xiangyang, books were the largest item.
One of his gains was that he copied hundreds of volumes of books by hand over the years, almost never stopping for a day.
Liu Jing turned to Xu Shu and asked, "I guess Yuan Zhi also has a family here."
Xu Shu nodded and said: "I have few family members, just my mother and my wife."
Liu Jingdao: "I will ask people to find two quiet and clean mansions near the county. But I'm afraid it's too late today. The prime minister's house in the county is currently vacant. Kong Ming and Yuan Zhi, you and your family may wish to stay temporarily in the prime minister's house."
One night, and you can move into your new house tomorrow."
Xu Shu turned to look at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang thought about it briefly and nodded in agreement.
Liu Jing held Zhuge Liang in one hand and Xu Shu in the other, returned and sat down.
Before Zhuge Liang could sit down, he spoke: "Zhongda, I left Xiangyang in the middle of last month and met Wenlang in Yi County..."
At first, Liu Gao gave up the Jiangdong route and insisted on taking the Jingbei route to Xudu. This route saves time and effort, but they and Liu Biao are mortal enemies. Once Liu Biao finds out, Liu Gao will definitely die. Now I heard from Zhuge Liang that Liu Gao
Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief at the news that Yu was safe and sound.
After talking about Liu Yao, Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Zhongda, I see that Beijin Ferry is crowded with cars and boats, and people are coming and going. It is extremely busy. Is it possible that there will be a war in the near future?"
"That's right," Liu Jing nodded and said, "If you come one day later, you won't be able to see me."
Zhuge Liang asked: "Is Zhongda going south to start a war with Jiaozhou Mu Zhangjin?"
"Yes." Liu Jing nodded and admitted.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but look at Xu Shu, clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Haha, we came at the right time."
