Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Chapter 38

Back to the thirty-eighth three-point decision-making war in Longzhong, revenge on the Yangtze River and Sun Shi.

Liu Bei failed to go to Kongming twice, and he wanted to go again. Guan Yu said, "My brother went to worship twice, which was too much. I think Zhuge Liang has a hollow reputation and no real talent, so he avoids it. Brother, why are you confused by the people of Sri Lanka? " Liu Bei said, "Qi Huangong wanted to meet the savage of Dongguo, but he didn't meet him five times. I want to see the Great Sage. " Zhang Fei said, "My brother is poor. How to measure that the village man is a great sage; I don't need my brother to go this time; If he doesn't come, I'll tie up the future with hemp rope! " Liu Bei said angrily, "Didn't you hear that Zhou Wenwang went to see Jiang Ziya? King Wen is so respectful, how rude you are! If you leave this time, I will go with Yunshang. " Fei said, "If both brothers go, how can my younger brother fall behind?" Liu Bei said, "If you go with me, don't be rude." Fei yingnuo

So the three men rode horses and led their followers to Longzhong. Half a mile away, Liu Bei dismounted and walked. When he met Zhuge Jun, Liu Bei saluted and asked, "Is your brother in the village?" They all said, "I just came back last night. The general can meet him today. " Then he drifted away. Liu Bei said, "How lucky I am to see you this time!" Zhang Fei said, "This man is rude! I might as well wait until the village, but why should I go by myself? " Liu Bei said, "They all have their own problems. How can they be strong?" Three people came to the village and knocked at the door. The boy opened the door and asked questions. Liu Bei said, "Thank you, Fairy Boy, for coming to report that Liu Bei came to see you." The boy said, "Although Mr. Wang is at home today, he is still awake in the thatched cottage." Liu Bei said, "In that case, don't publish it." Separate the guard from Zhang and wait at the door. Liu Bei came in and saw Mr. Liu lying on his back on several seats in the thatched cottage. Xuande arched down the steps. For a long time, my husband didn't wake up Guan and Zhang stood outside for a long time, but nothing happened. When they met Liu Bei, they stood still. Zhang Fei was furious and said to Yun Chang, "How arrogant this gentleman is! I saw my brother standing on the steps, lying so high that I couldn't sleep! When I go to the back of the house, set a fire and see if he can afford it! " Cloud long repeatedly advised to live. Liu Bei still ordered them to wait outside. Looking at the class, I saw Mr. Wang turn over, get up and suddenly fall asleep against the inner wall. That boy wants to report it. Liu Bei said, "Don't disturb." After standing for another hour, Kong Ming woke up and recited a poem, saying, "Who wakes up first in a big dream? I have known for a lifetime that the thatched cottage is full of spring sleep and the sun is late outside the window. " Kong Ming sang, turned over and asked the boy, "Are there any vulgar guests coming?" The boy said, "Liu Huangshu has been here for a long time." Zhuge Liang got up and said, "Why don't you do the morning paper? Shang Rong changed his clothes. " Then move to the backyard. After a long time, I just got dressed and rushed out.

When Liu Bei saw it, Kongming was eight feet long, with a face like a crown jade, a black silk scarf and a crane, and looked like a fairy. Liu Bei bowed and said, "I've heard a lot about you, the last man in the Han Dynasty, Zhuo Junyi. I paid an audience twice yesterday and didn't see it. I have written a book with Wen Ji, but I have never been able to finish it. " Kong Ming said, "It's a great shame that Nanyang savages have succeeded in slacking off and have been visited by generals many times." After the ceremony, they sat down separately, and the boy served tea. After drinking tea, Zhuge Liang said, "I read this book yesterday, which shows that the general is concerned about the country and the people;" But I hate being young and sparse. I was wrong. " Liu Bei said, "What Sima De said and what Xu Yuan said directly are all empty words, aren't they? I hope Mr. Wang won't dislike his meanness and give me more advice. Kong Ming said, "Virtue, simplicity and integrity are the best in the world." . Clever is the farmer's ear. How dare you talk about what is happening in the world? Two male fallacies. Why does the general ask for hard stone instead of beautiful jade? Liu Bei said, "A man is very learned. How can he always be under Lin Quan?" I hope Mr. Wang will think of the world and be prepared to be stupid. "Kong Mingxiao said," I want to hear the general's ambition. " Liu Beiping urged the guests to go to the banquet, saying, "The Han Dynasty has collapsed, the traitor stole his life, failed to do his best, and wanted to expand the righteousness in the world, but his wisdom was shallow and shallow, so far there is nothing." But fortunately, Mr. Wang opened his stupid business and saved his life! Kong Ming said, "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, there have been heroes all over the world. Cao Cao's potential is not as good as Yuan Shao's, but he can overcome it, not only in time, but also in harmony with people. Today, there are millions of people in Cao Cao, holding the emperor to make the princes. This sincerity can't compete with each other. According to Sun Quan, he lived in Jiangdong for three generations, and the country was in danger of the people. This can be used for aid, but not for profit. Jingzhou is bordered by Han and Mian in the north, benefiting from it; it is connected with Tongba and Shu in the east and adjacent to it in the west. This place is untenable unless its owner; Almost a general with such a gift from heaven, is the general interested? Yizhou is in danger, fertile land is thousands of miles away, and the country of abundance, so Gaozu became the emperor; Now Liu Zhang is weak and the people are rich, but they don't know how to keep their shirts. Smart people think of smart gentlemen. Generals are both imperial palaces and loyal to the four seas, commanding heroes, thinking wise men and thirsty generals. If there are advantages and interests spanning, we should protect their rock resistance, take care of Yi and Yue in the west, Sun Quan in the south and repair politics internally; The world has changed, and a general will be ordered to send Jingzhou soldiers to Wan and Luo, and the general will lead Yizhou's people out of Qinchuan. How can the people meet the general without eating pot pulp? If so, the great cause can be achieved and the Han Dynasty can flourish. This light is why it is also for the general. Only the generals will understand. " Having said this, he ordered the boy to draw a scroll and hang it in nave. He pointed to Liu Bei and said, "This map of fifty-four states in Xichuan is also good. The general must take the lead, let Cao Cao dominate the north for one day, and let Sun Quan occupy the land in the south, so that the general can occupy the people and peace. Take Jingzhou as home first, and then give up the foundation, so as to become a foothold, and then you can borrow from the Central Plains. "Hearing this, Liu Bei stepped down from the table and thanked him." What you said, Sir, was a sudden prologue, which made me see the clouds in the sky. But Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou are Han clan relatives, so what if they can bear it? Zhuge Liang said, "Looking at the sky at night, Liu Biao will soon be dead; Liu Zhang is not the master of his career: he will return to the general after a long time. Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded his thanks. There are only these words, but Kong Ming is still in infancy, and he knows that there are three points in the world, and he really lags behind people through the ages! Later generations have a poem praising: "Yuzhou laments that the sun is lonely and poor, why is Nanyang lucky to have Wolong!" "If you want to know where he is, Mr. Wang smiles and points to drawing." Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang and said, "Although I have a bad reputation, I hope you will not abandon meanness and come out to help me. Be prepared to listen to the instructions. " Kong Ming said, "I am too happy to plow and hoe for a long time, but I am too lazy to meet the world. I can't live." Liu Bei sobbed and said, "What shall we do if you don't come out?" When he finished, tears wet his robe sleeves and his skirt. Seeing his sincerity, Kong Ming said, "The general doesn't give up on the other side, but helps the dogs and horses." Liu Bei was overjoyed, so he ordered Guan and Zhang to enter and presented gold and silk as a gift. Kong Minggu refused to accept his resignation. Liu Bei said: "This is not a gift for hiring the Great Sage, but it shows Liu Bei's concern." Kong accepted. So Liu Bei and others spent the night in the village.

The next day, when Zhuge Jun came back, Kong Ming told Fu, "Thanks to Liu Huangshu, I can't go. You can farm here, don't get a barren land. When I succeed, I will retire. " Later generations have a poem sighing: "Those who think about retreating before getting up should be remembered when they have finished. After the beginning of Ding Ning, the stars fell in the autumn wind. " The ancients also had a cloud: "The high emperor holds three feet of snow, and the white snake bleeds at night;" Qin Ping destroyed Chu and entered Xianyang, which was cut off two hundred years ago. Great zai guang Wu xing Luoyang, spread to Huan ling and split; Xian Di moved its capital to Xuchang, and there are many heroes in the world: when Cao Cao was in power, Jiangdong Sun Shi started Hongye; Lonely and poor, Xuande walked the world, lived alone in a new field and worried about the people. Nanyang Wolong has a great ambition and a strange belly; Because Xu Shu left, Mao Lu met. At the age of 39, Mr. Moore packed up his piano books and left Long Mu. Take Jingzhou first, then Sichuan, and make great efforts to make up the sky; Thunder on the tip of the tongue, laughter in the chest turns into stars; Long Xiang sees An Gankun, and his name will last forever! " Liu Bei and others resigned from Zhuge Jun and returned to Xinye with Kongming.

Liu Bei treated Zhuge Liang as a teacher, eating at the same table and sleeping on the same bed. He talks about world affairs all day. Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao is in Xuanwu Pool in Jizhou, and it is bound to invade Jiangnan. It can make people cross the river to find out the truth. " Liu Bei followed suit and asked people about Jiangdong.

It is said that since the death of Sun Ce, Sun Quan has been living in Jiangdong, inheriting the inheritance of his father and brother, recruiting wise men, opening a hotel in Wuhui, and ordering Gu Yong and Zhang Hong to receive guests from all directions. Over the years, you and I have recommended each other. From time to time, I will remember Kan Ze, whose word is Derun; Peng Cheng is strict and talented; Xue Zong, a native of Pei County, is a Chinese character. Ruyang became a soldier, and the word De Shu; Wu Huan, the word Hugh Mu; Landmark, word public discipline; Wu Ren Zhang Wen, word; Black wound Luo Tong, word public mood; Zhen Wu, Wucheng, Zi Kongxiu: All these people went to Jiangdong, and Sun Quan paid a thick tribute. There are also several good generals: Monroe of Runan, with clear pronunciation and mellow voice; Wu Xun, Yu; Langya Xu Sheng, word direction; Pan Zhang, Dong Junren, with the same word Wenxuan; Ding Feng was born in Lujiang. Civil and military people, supplemented by * * *, so Jiangdong is called a bustling place.

In the seventh year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao broke Yuan Shao, sent an envoy to Jiangdong, and ordered Sun Quan to send his son to the DPRK to be buried with him. The right to hesitate. Both Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao can discuss the life story of Mrs. Wu. Zhang Zhao said, "Cao Cao wants to send my son to the court, which is the way to contain the princes. But if you don't let him go, I'm afraid that he will go to Jiangdong in dispatch troops, and it will be dangerous. " Zhou Yu said, "The general has inherited the business of his father and brother, and he is also in six counties. His soldiers have food and clothing, and his soldiers use their lives. Why give it to others? As soon as the quality enters, it has to be related to Cao Shi; He has a life call and must go: in this way, he will see that he is controlling others. It is better not to send it, watch it change, and don't use good strategies to resist it. " Mrs. Wu said, "What Gong Jin said is true." Right then in accordance with the words, thanked the messenger, don't send the son. From then on, Cao Cao had a plan to go to Jiangnan. But if the north is not peaceful, there is no time to travel to the south.

In November of the eighth year of Jian 'an, Sun Quan led the troops to attack Huang Zu and fought against the great river. Zujun was defeated. The power department led the canoe into the gorge and was shot dead by Huang Zu's Gan Ning. Cao Lin's son Ling Tong, 15, struggled to take away his father's body. Right to see the wind is unfavorable, he led the army back to Wu Dong.

It is said that Sun Quan's younger brother, Sun Yi, is a magistrate in Danyang. He happened to be drunk, and when he was drunk, he tasted the taste of whipping foot soldiers. Both Gui Lan, the governor of Danyang, and the governor have the intention to kill Yi. However, he became a confidant with Yi Congren Bianhong and murdered Yi. At that time, all the generals and county magistrates gathered in Danyang and held a banquet for each other. Yi's wife Xu, beautiful and smart, is good at divination. It's like a great evil, so she advised Yi not to go out to receive visitors. Meet the public if you don't listen. When the banquet ended in the evening, Bian Hong followed the door with a knife, that is, he drew a knife and hacked Sun Yi to death. Gui Lan and Dai Yuan were accused of border floods and beheaded in cities. The two took advantage of the situation and took Yi Jia as their concubine. When I saw Xu's beauty, I said, "I avenged your husband, so you should follow me;" If you don't obey, you will die. " Xu said, "My husband passed away a few days ago, so I can't bear it. You can wait until dark, make a sacrifice and get married. "Take a look. The Xu family secretly called Sun Yi's two confidants, Sun Gao and Fu Ying, to the mansion, crying and saying, "My late husband was in Japan, and they often said that they were loyal and righteous. Today, two thieves, Gui and Dai, murdered my husband, only blaming Bian Hong and sharing my sons and servants. I want to grab my body again, but I have lied to her to reassure her. The second general can send someone to inform the marquis of Wu on a starry night, and at the same time make a secret plan for the second thief to avenge this humiliation, and share life and death! "Say goodbye. Sun Gao and Fu Ying both cried and said, "We have always felt the kindness of the government, so today we are not victims, we want revenge. Madam's orders, dare not work! " So he secretly sent a confidant messenger to report to Sun Quan.

It was dark, and Xu Xian called Sun and Fu to the secret room lying in the Han curtain, and then offered a sacrifice to the whole class. After the sacrifice, I took off my mourning clothes, bathed in incense, put on heavy makeup and talked and laughed. I was very happy when I watched it. In the evening, Xu's widow and aunt invited to the mansion and set up a banquet hall to drink. When he was drunk, Xu invited him into the secret room. Watch the music and get drunk. Xu shouted, "Where are General Sun and General Fu?" The two men jumped out of the curtain with knives. Gui Lan caught off guard and was cut down by Fu Ying, and Sun Gao was killed with a knife. Please wear it to dinner when you come back. Members into the house, into the hall, was also killed by Sun and Fu Erjiang. On the one hand, people slaughtered the families of two thieves and their remaining clients. Xu put on mourning again and put Gui Lan and his head in front of Sun Yi's spirit. A day later, Sun Quan rode to Danyang and saw that the Xu family had killed Gui and Dai, so he ordered Sun Gao and Fu Ying to keep their teeth and Danyang, and took Xu home to support the elderly. Jiangdong people all praise it as virtue. Later generations have a poem praising: "There is nothing in the world on the Day of Talented Persons. Once a traitor is killed, he will be wiped out." Yong Chen died of a thief, but a loyal minister is not as good as a woman in Dongwu. "

Let's talk about mountain thieves everywhere in Wu Dong. They are very calm. There are more than 7000 warships in the great rivers. Sun Quan worshipped Zhou Yu as the viceroy, and President Jiangdong was stationed on land and water. In the twelfth year of Jian 'an, in October, the right mother, Mrs. Wu Taifu, was seriously ill. She called Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao and said, "I was originally from Wu, my parents died young, and my brother Wu Jing lived in a family. She married Sun Shi and had four children. When my eldest son was born, my dream was in my arms; After the birth of my second son, I dreamed of holding it in my arms. Bu Zheyun: The man who dreams of falling into his arms every day and every month has an expensive son. Unfortunately, I lost my life early, and now I have to pay the power of Jiangdong inheritance. I hope that the public will help me wholeheartedly, and I will die unsatisfied! " He also told him, "You should regard Zi Bu and Gong Jin as your teachers, and don't neglect them. My sister and I are married to your father, so we are also your mother; After I die, treat my sister like me. Your sister should also have grace and choose a good husband to marry. " Finish what you said. It goes without saying that Sun Quan and Dai Xiao had a funeral.

In the following spring, Sun Quan negotiated to attack Huang Zu. Zhang Zhao said, "Don't move your troops until you are dead." Zhou Yu said: "revenge, why wait for years?" The right to hesitate. Monroe, the commander-in-chief of Shibing North, came to see Liu Bei and said, "Suddenly Huang Zu sent Gan Ning to the mouth of Longqiu River. Detailed inquiry: Xingba, a native of Linjiang, Ba County; Quite familiar with history books, strong, good ranger; Try to recruit fugitives, and cross the rivers and lakes; Hang a bell around your waist, and people will listen to it and avoid it. I also tried to make sail curtains with Nishikawa brocade, and everyone called it a brocade thief. Regret the past and turn to good deeds to attract people to vote for Liu Biao. Seeing that the table failed, I wanted to vote for Wu Dong, but Huang Zu stayed in Xiakou. In the previous dynasty, Wu Dong broke the patriarch, and the patriarch got the help of Gan Ning to save Xia Kou. Treating ning is very thin. Commander-in-Chief Su Fei recommended Ning Yuzu many times. Zu said: I would rather be a river robber than reuse it! Ning bears a grudge for this. After learning this, he took the wine and asked Ning to go home, saying, I have recommended it to you several times, but Master Nai can't use it. The sun and the moon have passed, and life is appropriate. As a county magistrate, I should protect the public and go by myself. So I'd rather have a summer pass and want to join Jiangdong, fearing that Jiangdong would hate him for saving Huang Zu and killing him. A master with words, eager for wisdom, does not remember old grievances; What's the point of hating each other? Ning Xin, however, led the people across the river to see the master. Make a decision. " Sun Quan was overjoyed and said, "If it can prosper, Huang Zu will be destroyed." He ordered Lv Meng to introduce Gan Ning. After paying their respects, Quan said, "Xingba came here and won my heart. Is there any reason to hold a grudge? Please don't doubt. I am willing to teach me the strategy of breaking Huang Zu. " Ning said, "This Han Dynasty is in peril, and Cao Cao will usurp it. Nanjing is also a must. Liu Biao has no foresight, and his son is stupid and self-abased, so he can't inherit the industry and inherit the inheritance. It is appropriate for Gong Ming to figure it out early; If it is late, we will do it first. Huang Zu should be chosen first. Zu is old and faint this year, serving the interests of goods; Invading officials and people, everyone complains; If the combat equipment is not repaired, the army will have no law. If Gong Ming attacks it, it will be broken. Since we have broken our ancestral army and marched westward, we can make use of Tubo and Shu according to Chu Pass. " Sun Quan said, "This is a treasure!" Then Zhou Yu was appointed as the viceroy and general of the water army; Lv Meng is the pioneer of the front line; Dong and gan ning are both lieutenant; The son of heaven raised hundreds of troops and conquered Huang Zu.

Explore carefully and report it to Jiangxia. Huang Zu gathered people to discuss and made him a general, with Chen and Deng Long as pioneers, struggling to meet the enemy. Chen Jiu and Deng Long each led a team to intercept the ship's mouth. Each ship is equipped with more than 1000 strong bows and crossbows, and the big rope is anchored on the water. When Wu Dong soldiers arrived, drums sounded from the stern, bows and crossbows were fired, and the soldiers were afraid to enter, so they retreated to a few miles away from the water. Gan Ning said to Dong, "We must go in now." More than 100 boats were selected, and each boat had 50 selected people: 20 punters and 30 men each wore armor and held copper knives, and did not avoid arrows until the boat came to the side, cut off the big rope and made the boat cross. Gan Ning flew to the ground and hacked Deng Long to death. Chen abandoned the ship and left. When Monroe saw this scene, he jumped off the boat, got up by himself, went straight into the fleet and set fire to it. Chen was anxious to go ashore and lay down his life for him. Compared with when Su Fei led the army to meet on shore, it was overwhelming that Wu Dong's generals went ashore together. Zujun was defeated. When Su Fei met Pan Zhang, the general of Wu Dong, he was defeated and left. The two horses crossed, but the battle did not repeat. Zhang captured them alive and went to the ship to see Sun Quan. Right life around the sill car prison, to capture Huang Zu, slaughter together. Urge the three armies to attack Xiakou day and night. Exactly: it is precisely because we didn't use the brocade sail thief that the big rope boat was separated. I don't know how Huang Zu won or lost. See the details below.
