Chapter Four
In the front yard of Lumen Academy, Wangkui's cottage. The word "Wangkui" was written by Pang Degong himself, taken from the sentence "If you study without thinking, you will be confused; if you think without learning, you will be in danger", which is to warn a lot of disciples to study hard and think well, and not to ignore without danger.
At this time, several academy disciples in the cottage were in a fierce debate. Although Mr. Pang De’s own career was not interested in fame and fortune, he did not object to his disciples becoming generals and becoming officials. When he was teaching and learning on weekdays, he often referred to major events in the world as arguments. His disciples often debated each other on major politics and wars in the world under the acquiescence of Mr. Pang De’s.
"The princes of the times, regarding their great talents and strategies, governing military affairs, Xuchang and Cao Cao were the best. Cao Mengde's talent and literature can be safe, and martial arts can be used to stabilize the country. Moreover, the great masters and generals in the five prefectures were all over the country, and Yuzhou was Taiban. The advisers and generals under his command were even more numerous and powerful. They also supported the emperor and had a great reputation. In the future, they would sweep the world and pacify the troubled times!" A young student with a twenty-two, three-year-old and handsome appearance said loudly.
"Although Cao Mengde's talent is not bad, it may not be possible to say that the world is swept away and quell the chaotic times!" Another student, who was a little older, shook his head and said in harmony.
"Oh?" The student raised his eyebrows at first and said, "But I don't know what kind of opinions Brother Zhou Ping has? With Cao Mengde's talent, who is worthy of being his opponent today?"
The young student named "Zhouping" was named Cui Hong (Zhouping should have the name "Biao". After searching for a long time on the Internet, he could not find Cui Zhouping's real name, so he had to make up one). The name "Zhouping" was from Boling, and was the son of Cui Lie, the Situ Tu in the previous dynasty. Cui Hong (that is Cui Zhouping) smiled faintly and said, "Pongwei seems to be a little too optimistic about Cao Mengde! Although Cao Cao has great plans, there are no other heroes in the world. Not to mention the Sun family, who was entrenched in the three generations of Jiangdong, and the natural chasm of the Yangtze River, and the Liu Xuande, Runan, who had sent 30,000 Qingzhou troops in Runan, were wiped out by Cao Mengde. They were called "the hero of the world, only Cao and the envoy', by Cao Mengde, can be called Cao Cao's strong enemies. Even if it is Liu Jingzhou, Yuan family in Hebei, Ma Teng, Ma Zhang in Xiliang, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou, they are probably not those who can be easily guessed!..."
"Hahahaha..." A student who was called "gongwei" by Cui Hong, whose real name was Meng Jian, and whose name was Gongwei, was a person from Runan. After hearing Cui Hong's words, Meng Jian laughed and seemed to be quite dissatisfied. "Liu Zhang, the dog guarding the tomb in Yizhou, was brave, but he did not understand strategy. In addition, the place of Xiliang was not the only Ma family, and there was Han Sui who was not inferior to his strength. Han Sui was able to kill his former brother Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu. Who dared to conclude that he would not betray his today's brother Ma Teng? The Yuan family in Hebei was defeated in Guandu and Pingqiu, and his strength was already worse than before. Now Yuan Shao was destroyed, Yecheng was lost, and the day of Xishan was just the day of Xishan. Although Liu Jingzhou was dominant in the nine counties of Jingxiang, he was well-trained and had enough food, but one was not enterprising, and the other was the tyranny of Cai, and Liu Jingzhou was in power.
He is old and when he is over, the eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Cong will inevitably have a dispute over legitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate
"Hahaha..." An extremely loud laughter came from outside the door into the "grass cottage". Accompanied by laughter, an ugly young student with a low figure walked into the hall, and it was the person Jian Yong almost bumped into.
"Why did Shi Yuan laugh?" Another young student, Shi Tao (whose name is Guangyuan), asked the ugly young man strangely.
"What I laugh at is not it, it is just the result of the battle between Cao, Liu and Runan by Gongwei!" The ugly young man named Pang and his name was Tong, and his name was Shiyuan, and he was the nephew of Pang Degong.
"Oh~~?" Meng Jian said in surprise: "Did Shi Yuan already know the final result of the battle between Cao and Liu?"
"That's right!" Pang Tong said with a smile.
"Who wins and loses? Come and listen?" Meng Jian, Shi Tao, Cui Hong and others asked in unison. The other four and five students in the cottage all showed a look of longing for knowledge.
But Pang Tong did not rush to answer, but instead sang to the northeast corner of the Caotang and said, "Kong Ming, don't you want to know the result of the battle between the two families? Come and sit here!"
At the northeast corner of the Wuluo Caotang, a young scholar with a age of less than 20, beautiful eyebrows and extraordinary temperament, wearing a white cloth shirt sat cross-legged in front of a few tables, with a calm expression and no joy, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him. The "Kong Ming" called by Pang Tong is him. This person's surname is Zhuge, with a single name with a luminous character, and the name is Kong Ming.
"Shi Yuan, with your voice, can you hear where I sit? Don't you keep it in a silence!" Zhuge Liang said with a faint smile.
"Kong Ming, you are so 'boring'!" Pang Tong laughed and began to say: "In this battle between Cao and Liu, both sides won one battle - Liu Bei lost Runan and retreated to Shouchun; but Cao Cao didn't get anything good either. Not to mention that many military and horses were damaged when attacking Runan. More than 10,000 other military and horses that rushed to Shouchun were almost wiped out by Liu Bei's army, and the general Zhang Liao of the commander-in-chief died on the spot."
"What? It's like this?" Meng Jian said in surprise and disbelief: "With Liu Bei's ability, he can actually fight Cao Cao's army to achieve a similar invincible situation? How amazing, how amazing!"
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang in the distance, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he became enlightened with thought.
"………It's really strange. Could it be… Liu Beixin got some genius to help him?" Shi Taoluo thought about it and asked Pang Tong.
"Hahaha..." Pang Tong said with a long laugh: "No! Liu Bei did get help from one person, and I still know you and I know him!"
"We all know each other?" Cui Hong pondered for a while, suddenly said, "Is it... Yuanzhi?"
"It was Yuan Zhi! Yuan Zhi took office as a member of Liu Bei two months ago, and now he has been appointed as the General of Military Advisor! Liu Bei's army defeated Cao's army in Shouchun, and it was Yuan Zhi's plan!" Pang Tong said loudly.
Xu Shu! He was appointed as the General of Military Advisor?!!! Hearing this news, the young students in the cottage were surprised and envious. However, Xu Shu had just joined Liu Bei for less than two months and was appointed as the General of Military Advisor. It seems that Liu Bei is really eager to seek talent!
"Shi Yuan, tell us everything you know!" Meng Jian said to Pang Tong urgently.
"Haha... Then I will tell you all the way through the battle between the two armies..."
Soon, Pang Tong actually told the story of Cao Liu Runan and the Battle of Shouchun in a relatively complete way. The students were all interested in listening to it.
"Cao Cao's strategy and planning for this battle is incomplete - he first attacked Runan with a plan to lure tigers and leave the mountain, and then he wanted to use another plan to lure tigers and leave the mountain to attack Shouchun. During this period, he wanted to use the surrounded Liu Bei as bait to surround Zhang Fei's reinforcements. A whole set of strategies was linked together, almost perfect, but he failed because he encountered the obstacles between Yuan Zhi! What a pity!" Meng Jian said sadly.
"I think Cao Cao's series of plans failed, and the most important thing is not Yuanzhi!" Pang Tong said with a smile.
"Who is that?" Meng Jian asked in confusion.
"It's Zhang Fei!" Zhuge Liang's clear voice came over.
"Why is it him?" Shi Tao asked in confusion.
Pang Tong raised his eyes to see Zhuge Liang's place, showed a look of praise, and said loudly: "What Kong Ming said is exactly what I want. The most critical person is Zhang Fei! I think that Zhang Fei and Liu Bei's Taoyuan are famous all over the world, and everyone knows that Liu, Guan and Zhang have a deep friendship. Liu Bei was surrounded in danger, how could Zhang Fei not do his best to save him? Cao Cao must have thought so, but Zhang Fei would definitely lead all his troops to recruit Shouchun's troops back to help Liu Bei in Runan. In this way, Shouchun's troops will inevitably be empty. Even if Yuan Zhi is there, I am afraid that Shouchun will not be able to defend Shouchun.
Not to mention the annihilation of the invading Cao army. However, he never thought that Zhang Fei was in danger and saw through Cao Cao's plan. Unexpectedly, he only led a few elite soldiers to travel more than 400 miles to return to Runan in three days, avoiding the ambush set up by Cao Cao, first attacking back to Runan, and then pretending to be Cao's army to advance and rescue Liu Bei, and escape safely. It was precisely because Zhang Fei only led a few elite soldiers to return to the rescue and left most of the army and horses in Shouchun that Yuan Zhi could calmly plan to break the enemy. Therefore, Liu Bei was able to recover this almost uncontrollable defeat in this battle, and the most critical person was Zhang Fei!"
Shi Tao, Cui Hong and others thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Meng Jian said with some confusion: "It seems that Zhang Fei is a person that cannot be underestimated. I just don't know why Liu Bei did not show his talent when he suffered several defeats before?"
"If you want to know the reason, unless you go and ask him in person! Haha..." Shi Tao said with a smile: "No matter what, after this battle, Yuan Zhi will be famous in the world!"
"Famous is famous all over the world!... but it may not be a good thing for Yuan Zhi..." Zhuge Liang sighed quietly.
"Kong Ming, you don't have to worry about this matter!" Pang Tong replied with a smile.
"Oh~?!!!!" Zhuge Liang's bright and energetic eyes flashed with a look of relief, and he said calmly: "It's good!"
"What kind of mystery are you two doing?" Cui Hongqi said.
"What Kong Ming was worried about was Yuan Zhi's old mother! Once Cao Cao knew that Yuan Zhi was planning for Liu Bei, he would inevitably force Yuan Zhi to leave Liu Bei with his mother! However, Liu Bei seemed to have taken Yuan Zhi's old mother back to Shouchun!" Pang Tong explained with a smile.
"Shi Yuan, how did you know so much?" Zhuge Liang suddenly asked Pang Tong.
"Jian Yong, a member of Liu Bei, came to visit my uncle, intending to ask his uncle to help promote the alliance between Liu Bei and Liu Biao. These things were said by Jian Yong!" Pang Tong replied in a deep voice.
A alliance with Liu Biao is probably not just to prevent Cao Cao! Zhuge Liang focused his mind and thought quickly, and seemed to have some enlightenment - Liu Bei should have wanted to plan...
Although it is not impossible, the difficulty is absolutely small! Zhuge Liang shook his head with a faint smile, but his eyes gradually became dazed. For a moment, it seemed that he had returned to eight years ago - in the fourth year of Chuping (193 AD), Cao Cao was his father's hatred and led a large army to Xuzhou. All the counties under the Cao army were massacred, and only the corpses were killed everywhere, blood flowing into a river. At that time, the three brothers Zhuge Liang, who were still living in Yangdu County, Langya County, Xuzhou, were afraid that they would be harmed by Cao's army.
He fled south overnight, intending to defect to his uncle Zhuge Xuan. On the way, he happened to be a military horse rushing to Xuzhou to rescue. The Zhuge brothers and other people mistakenly thought that they were being chased by Cao's army. They were waiting for death, but they never thought that the military horse not only did not massacre them, but also left some food for the fleeing people. Afterwards, Zhuge Liang heard others say: The leader who commanded the rescue army was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who was the Pingyuan Order at the time!
