After the tea boiled, a refreshing fragrance emitted from the study.
Zhuge Liang stood up, rolled up his sleeves, took the teapot and filled Zhuge Jin's tea cup with tea, then filled his third brother Zhuge Jun with tea, and finally poured water for himself.
Three people, enjoying tea in a very serious manner.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
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 what month we three brothers will be able to meet each other!"
Zhuge Liang asked: "Brother, if you are really in such a hurry to leave, why can't you leave after the New Year?"
Zhuge Jin shook his head and said: "After the New Year, something might happen again, so let's leave early."
Zhuge Jin smiled and said loudly: "The situation in Jiangdong is already dominated by the Sun family. Even if Gan Ning leads the navy to harass Jiangdong, it will be a small fight and will never achieve great results. Furthermore, Sun Jian is brave and Sun Ce is resolute.
, Sun Quan is calm, and his three fathers and sons can be said to be tiger fathers and tiger sons. He can be called a hero and a hero, and he has become the overlord of the party. I will join him now. With my own talents, I will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong. "
At this time, it was already December 21 of the fifth year of Xingping, and it was almost the sixth year of Xingping in the blink of an eye.
After Zhuge Liang heard this, he suddenly fell silent.
Zhuge Jun showed a look of reluctance on his face and said, "Brother, I don't want you to leave!"
Zhuge Jin sighed: "Sooner or later we have to leave, so why would we be reluctant to leave. Although Xiangyang is good, it is only a temporary place for us to stay, not a place to take root."
Zhuge Jun lowered his head, feeling very sad.
Zhuge Jin glanced at Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun and fell silent.
In the study room, the atmosphere became stagnant.
After a long time, Zhuge Jin asked aloud: "Second brother, you have been extremely intelligent and talented since you were a child, and have the ability to manage the world and benefit the people. Have you ever thought about who you want to join?"
Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I haven't thought about it yet!"
Zhuge Jin frowned, somewhat disbelieving.
Immediately, he tentatively said: "Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu and already took advantage and became the overlord of the north. Now Yuan Shao is in the sunset and will eventually be defeated by Cao Cao. I have often heard that Cao Cao is thirsty for talents and attaches great importance to talents.
People, why don’t you go and join Cao Cao?”
"Cao Cao?"
Zhuge Liang chuckled and shook his head slightly.
Zhuge Jin showed a disappointed expression on his face and said, "Why, isn't Cao Cao worth defecting to?"
Zhuge Liang stroked his tea cup and said softly: "Cao Cao is a great man of the previous generation, but he is too suspicious. The Lu Boshe family in the past is the best proof. Moreover, Cao Cao is murderous and poisons the emperor, which is even more disgusting. In the past,
In 2000, he led troops to attack Tao Qian of Xuzhou and ordered his soldiers to massacre the people. Such a person will never die well and will never achieve great success. Moreover, Cao Cao has many counselors under his command, such as Xun Yu, Liu Ye, Chen Qun, Man Chong, etc. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me after I leave.
Show your ambition!"
Zhuge Jin asked again: "In that case, where is King Can of Shu?"
When Wang Can was mentioned, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a stern look.
With a sneer on his face, he shouted: "Wang Can raised troops to attack Chang'an without permission and robbed the emperor. He is a disloyal person. Wang Can attacked Liangzhou, killed Liu Yan, the former shepherd of Yizhou, imprisoned Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang, and attacked his colleagues.
This is an unkind person. Wang Can seizes people, wives and daughters and robs them everywhere. This is an unvirtuous person. How can I serve such an unfaithful, unkind and unvirtuous person?"
After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued: "Wang Can is just a yellow turban bandit with a humble background and humble status, and he dares to attack the emperor. Such a person is simply a great thief of the country. I wish I could kill this gang with my own hands."
If Wang Can were here, he would be so angry that he would burst into smoke.
Good guy, Zhuge Liang listed so many crimes, and he didn't know how he offended 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. Wang Can did a lot for the people!"
Zhuge Jin said: "Second brother, what you said is a bit excessive."
Zhuge Liang shook his head but did not refute.
Zhuge Jin then said: "Second brother, you have neither gone to Cao Cao nor to Wang Can. Are you planning 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 the overlord of one side, his own structure is too small to leap over the dragon's gate. Brother, I advise you not to go to Jiangdong. It is difficult to achieve great success."
Zhuge Jin said: "Although Jiangdong is small, the ambitions of Sun and his son are not small."
Zhuge Jin did not get entangled in Jiangdong's affairs, and immediately said: "If you don't choose any of the three major princes in the world, Cao Cao, Wang Can and Sun Jian, then who are you going to choose? Are you going to stay in Jingzhou to assist Liu Biao, or Liu Biao?"
Heir?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Biao's family, father and son, are only temporarily guarding Jingzhou and will eventually be destroyed."
Zhuge Jin was stunned and couldn't understand what Zhuge Liang was thinking.
After a pause, Zhuge Jin said: "Second brother, I hope you can choose one of Cao Cao and Wang Can to assist you, and then the third brother will choose one of them. We three brothers each occupy one side and are their masters, even if two of them are
Even if they are defeated, there will still be one party left with incense, and the Zhuge family can also shine on the lintel."
In fact, this is Zhuge Jin's ultimate goal.
Brothers get three points, each takes one.
In fact, this approach is common among large families and is very realistic. It is a family's plan for a rainy day. Historically, this was the case for the Xun family. The Xun family members were distributed between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and the eggs were placed between two
In the basket, one of them can be saved and revitalize 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 become more prosperous. Just wait and see."
Zhuge Jin asked loudly, "In that case, who do you choose? The situation in the world is already very clear. It is obviously a situation where Cao Cao, Wang Can and Sun Jian divide the world. It is impossible for other princes to interfere. You should understand this truth.
"
"wrong!"
Zhuge Liang uttered one word clearly and said sonorously and forcefully: "As long as I am here, the world will not be divided into three parts."
After careful consideration, Zhuge Jin suddenly exclaimed: "Why did you choose Liu Bei? You actually chose him!" Except for Cao Cao, Wang Can and Sun Jian, Zhuge Jin only thought of this short-lived person who turned into a loser.
Zhuge Liang didn't say no, nor did he say yes.
Zhuge Jin looked like he hated iron and said, "Second brother, Liu Bei is just a lost dog. You can't achieve anything by choosing 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 are Sun Jian and Cao Cao. Even if
If you defect to Liu Bei, you will have nowhere to stay, and there will be no chance of success. It is impossible!"
The sound was so loud that it felt like an argument.
Zhuge Liang looked calm and said calmly: "Brother, whether Liu Bei can succeed or not, I have my own discretion. The situation in this world seems to be clear, but it is not. What is gained can be lost, and what is lost can also be regained. Liu Bei is temporarily resigned.
Although he is inferior to others, he still has an unyielding heart, and Liu Bei is a member of the royal family, which is also a major advantage for him. Brother, don't underestimate people, maybe Sun Jian is not as good as Liu Bei!"
Zhuge Jin was so angry that he persuaded: "Second brother, you and I are both sensible people. Now there is no master in the world. It has been some years since the emperor passed away, but there is still no new master to succeed him. The people have gradually forgotten the Han Dynasty.
Well, what if Liu Bei has the status of a royal family member? Who will recognize him? Don’t be stupid."
Zhuge Liang looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Brother, this is my own choice. It has nothing to do with you and you don't need to interfere."
As he spoke, Zhuge Liang's tone also changed.
Zhuge Jin sighed helplessly and asked: "Third brother, who would you choose between Wang Can and Cao Cao?"
Zhuge Jun said matter-of-factly: "I choose Wang Can. I heard that Chengdu is very good, and I have the idea of traveling. I want to go out for a walk. My uncle has passed away, and my elder brother is going to Jiangdong. My second brother chose Liu Bei. I
I have nothing to do alone, so I might as well go to the Chengdu Academy of Sciences and see new things."
Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows and shouted: "You are not allowed to go. What's so good about Chengdu? Stay at home and study hard."
Zhuge Jun scratched his head, showing a helpless expression.
Zhuge Jin snorted coldly and said: "Third brother, if your eldest brother supports you, you can go. However, don't be silent after you go. You must show your talents and revitalize the Zhuge family. Do you understand?"
Zhuge Jun smiled and nodded heavily.
In a thatched cottage, brothers are divided into three parts, and they are no longer fellow travelers.
Ps: The fourth update is completed, call it a day.
