Chapter 16 first quarter

People died one by one. Just like fireworks, they flew high into the sky with a "bang", and after dancing with the most dazzling light, they scattered and withered. First Guan Yu, this happened at the end of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an.On a frosty night, General Lu Meng of Soochow led his army to attack Jingzhou!The soldiers pretended to be merchants and sneaked onto the river bank, and none of the hundreds of beacon towers along the river noticed it!When the soldiers of the Wu army approached the city, the defenders Ren and Mifang surrendered immediately!At this time, Guan Yu was attacking Fancheng, unable to advance forward and unable to retreat backward, so he had to stick to Maicheng.The weather in December is as cold as falling into the underworld.Little Wheat City was covered by sporadic snowflakes.Guan Yu rode a red rabbit horse in the streets, and couldn't think of a way to turn defeat into victory. The only way out was to forcefully break through.Reminiscing about the glory of "taking the head of a general among thousands of troops is like picking something out of a bag" in the past, he rushed out of Maicheng and was soon captured alive in Zhangxiang to the west.The first time Guan Yu fell off his Chitu horse, it made him feel...it was over.Legend has it that Sun Quan once intended to surrender Guan Yu, or save his life; but Lu Meng said lightly: "Has the Lord not seen Mr. Cao?" Cao Cao also accepted Guan Yu, but the red-faced man finally left him; Only death can remove Guan Yu from Liu Bei's camp.Sun Quan sighed: "Okay!" Guan Yu was beheaded on the spot. On the day of the execution, it was snowing heavily. Guan Yu held a bouquet of white, neat and well-maintained beards and said with a smile, "Wow, the beautiful bearded man!" He went to die calmly, and his thirty-four-year-old son Guan Ping was killed together.

The death of Guan Yu caused Jingzhou to fall into the hands of Sun Quan, and the Sun-Liu alliance that had lasted for twelve years was broken! Shortly after Guan Yu's death, Lu Meng died suddenly, and Cao Cao died. After that, it was Huang Zhong. The next step is Fazheng.Once Fazheng died, the position of Shang Shuling was vacant.After Liu Bei wept bitterly for several days, Fazheng was given the posthumous title of "Marquis of Yi" and Liu Ba was promoted to Minister of State.Fazheng was the only person with a posthumous title in Liu Bei Dynasty, and he was mourned and honored after his death, which can be described as very prosperous for a while.

At this time, the family of Grand Tutor Xu Jing also had a funeral.It wasn't Xu Jing who was in his seventies who died, but his youngest son who was twenty years old.It is the saddest thing in the world for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. Xu Jing stood in front of the coffin, crying to death.His son had an accident while climbing a mountain. The way of death was too common, and the person who died was too common. When the government and the public were mourning, Xu Jing thought: the death of a son is like a drop of water entering the sea, destined to be silent.However, on the day of the burial, he was surprised to see many people coming!When General Zhuge Liang of the Military Division and General Li Yan of Fu Han came in the same car, it caused a commotion. "Master Xu can rest in peace after being sacrificed by the military master." People whispered.Xu Jing greeted Li Yan and Zhuge Liang with tears in his eyes. They supported him one by one and walked into the mourning hall.

"My lord originally wanted to come to express my condolences, but the death of Xiao Zhi made my lord physically and mentally exhausted, so I repeatedly asked Liang to express my condolences." Zhuge Liang lit three incense sticks, turned around and said to Xu Jing, "My lord is a talented man, what a pity the heavens don't have holidays; Grand Tutor Wanwang's condolences, please take care..." While speaking, Zhuge Liang saw a car coming outside the door. It's an old donkey cart.The paint on both sides was peeling off, and the shafts had so many cracks that the wheels creaked and creaked as soon as they were turned.Driving such a car into the Xu Mansion, which is full of crowns, is like throwing a dog's tail grass into a lush peony garden!A pair of teenagers sat on the donkey cart, one in black and one in white.The man in black was in charge of driving the car, shaking his whip as if nothing had happened; the man in white hid in the car, his face full of embarrassment. "What a disgrace, dad should lend us a good car." The white-robed boy whispered, "I heard that many famous people have come?" "Yes, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan are here." The man in black said, He threw the whip and jumped out of the car, turned around to pull his partner, "Let's go! We've been in love for so many years, and we're always going to cry!" The black-clothed man rushed into the mourning hall, the white-robed man lowered his head, raised his sleeve to cover half of his face, and said all the way Saying "I'm rude, I'm rude" and followed in.

"It turned out to be him..." Zhuge Liang recognized it at a glance. "That's the dog Dong Yun." Dong He beside him pointed to the young man in white robe and said to Zhuge Liang. "Oh, my son is humble." Zhuge Liang smiled lightly, pointing to another boy and said, "Is it Fei Yi?" "Exactly." Dong He asked in surprise, "Military division knows him?" "I met once a few years ago." Zhuge Liang replied. At this time, Fei Yi, who was dressed in black, dropped his knees, knelt down before the coffin, and opened his mouth to cry so loudly that Zhuge Liang had to carefully cover his ears with a feather fan.He looked at the young man, who was crying and shouting: "Xu Lang! Xu Lang! Today is separated by yin and yang, and the silence is heart-breaking! I will sing "Scallion Dew", life and death are boundless. One less person toast , hesitating to the shadow. The soul is alive and the soul will not forget each other, drink wine and climb high to see the flowers!" The crying was full of twists and turns, and the lingering sound lingered, making everyone in the hall dumbfounded: Although he lamented that he was sentimental and righteous, he also doubted that this young man could not be based on Do you cry for a living?Dong Yun stood beside Fei Yi, blushing like a ripe shrimp: it's already very rude to come here in a broken car; now that his companion is crying so presumptuously, it's really embarrassing.

"Fei Yi..." He tugged at his sleeve. However, Fei Yi pulled Dong Yun down and said, "Death is the greatest thing, let's kowtow three times!" "This……" "Knock it!" Fei Yi almost knocked down Dong Yun's neck. Zhuge Liang smiled softly behind the feather fan. "Alas," Dong He said with a sigh, "Xu Qin, Fei Yi and Quanzi, sons of Taifu, are also known as the 'Three Heroes of the Weak Crown'. I have always been confused about who is better, Quanzi or Fei Yi, and now I understand." "Oh?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

Dong He said: "Obviously, one is calm and composed, and the other has a look of embarrassment. Fei Lang is much better than Gou Zi." "Young Zai is too modest." Zhuge Liang laughed in a low voice, "Like peony or rose, no one can say which is better. Your son is cautious, Fei Yi is good at changing, so the so-called right and wrong are nothing more than that." After walking out of the mourning hall and saying goodbye to Xu Jing, Li Yan had something to do and drove first; Zhuge Liang planned to go to another courtyard to see Shunying and his daughter, so he didn't take the car anymore; coming.Dong Yun followed up first, and Fei Yi ran behind pulling the donkey cart. "Hey, get in the car! If you don't have a car, it's really... hey!" Fei Yi shouted crisply, which made Zhuge Liang laugh.

"I won't take that car anymore." Dong Yun said bitterly, and caught up with Dong He, "Father, you..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he stopped immediately when he saw Zhuge Liang. "I've seen the military adviser!" Dong Yun made a bow, and stood aside respectfully.As soon as he stood firm, he was bumped from behind by Fei Yi, who couldn't hold his feet!Hit him straight into Zhuge Liang! "Be careful." Zhuge Liang supported Dong Yun's shoulder, and when he looked again, his face turned even redder. "Military division, this..."

"It's okay." Zhuge Liang smiled, and turned to Fei Yi, "I thought you were such a bastard." "Almost." Fei Yi scratched his head, "My mother died at the age of five, and my father died at the age of seven. My uncle had a friendship with Liu Zhang and took me to study in Shu. Within three years, my uncle also died... Cough, let alone La!" Childhood in troubled times is unbearable to look back on; Zhuge Liang couldn't help pinching his fingers: Isn't the orphan Fei Yi is talking about himself?Being alone early, leaving home, living under the fence...everything, thinking about it makes him feel bad.Zhuge Liang let out a breath slowly, and turned his gaze to the other side.

"Master Dong?" he asked. "Yes, Dong Yun." The young man said hurriedly. "how old are you?" "The first month just turned seventeen." "Seventeen...so old." Zhuge Liang asked with a smile, "Would you like to accompany the prince to study?" As soon as these words came out, not only Dong Yun, but also Dong He was stunned.prince?Could it be... Liu Chan? "The prince already has three attendants." Dong He reminded. "Oh, not enough." Thinking of Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang couldn't help smiling.The kid who was "crackling" with Guo'er back then has also grown up, and he became a fourteen-year-old boy in the blink of an eye.This young man was born with delicate features, and he ran to Zhuge's other courtyard every three days.Every time I go, my face is flushed, and I carry a colorful gift box. I often leave the gift box as soon as I put it away.Sometimes when he saw Zhuge Liang coming in, he would mutter "Hello military master, good military master..." as he said, he slipped away.When Zhuge Liang walked into the courtyard, nine times out of ten he would see his daughter Guozheng snorting in disdain.

"Girls, you need to know some etiquette." Shunying also advised. Zhuge Guo plunged into his mother's arms, and said with a smile, "How does he look like a prince!?" "Is three not enough?" Dong He's question pulled Zhuge Liang out of his memory. "Oh, the prince's words are enough, but if he serves the prince, it's not enough." Zhuge Liang explained, seeing Dong He's dazed expression, "In November last year, Cao Pi abolished Emperor Han and established Wei State on his own; a few days ago, someone A secret report came, saying..." "Say what?" Before Zhuge Liang could answer, Fei Yi spoke up first: "It must be that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was killed?" "Don't guess!" Dong Yun reprimanded loudly, "A major national event..." Zhuge Liang raised his hand to stop Dong Yun, but asked Fei Yi, "How do you know?" By asking this question, he confirmed Fei Yi's guess. "The emperor was killed, and the matter of inheriting the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy and restoring the ancestor's foundation naturally fell on the King of Hanzhong!" Fei Yi said with a smile, "When the king became emperor, the prince became a prince. So the military adviser said, The three attendants read too little to be driven by the 'Prince'." What a smart boy!Zhuge Liang praised in his heart, and then said to Dong He: "My lord is not willing to claim the title of emperor at the moment, saying that it is necessary to prove the emperor's death. In fact," he sighed with a smile, "it's not so fussy. The emperor is carrying a country. , the common people. What’s more, there are frequent auspicious omens recently, and several times I have seen yellow air rushing into the sky several times; stars such as Taibai, Filling Star, and Yinghuo are chasing each other, as if they are worshiping the emperor. I think that Chaoli will take action soon, my lord That is, the throne and ascending to the Dragon Court should be within half a year." How long have you been waiting? Build a country, a brand new country. Zhuge Liang is forty-one years old from his humble beginnings at the age of twenty-seven to today. Although Jingzhou is lost, how to treat Jingzhou is the next step to consider.If the name is not right, the words will not go well. If you want to fight against Cao Wei, you need a banner that shakes the world and an upright court!It will be established in the Land of Abundance, with Chengdu as its capital.Dujiangyan protects the entire verdant plain; the towering Jinniu Mountain smelts a steady stream of iron tools.Thousands of fire wells are used to boil salt, 100,000 looms are used to embroider brocade, plank roads lead to all directions, and horses are ready to go in post stations.Houses, terraced fields, irrigation, trade... well organized and frequent traffic!Give Liu Bei a country, and give himself a country. This is a dream that Zhuge Liang has spent 14 years dreaming, and it is about to come true. This forty-one-year-old, eight-foot-tall man, holding a white feather in his hand, looked up. He didn't want people to see the moisture in his eyes, so he raised his eyes to the blue sky, Breathe heavily and slowly. "Fei Yi, how old are you?" "nineteen." "Okay, then you and Dong Yun will be the crown prince." Three months later, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor. Liu Bei, who was originally suspicious, ascended to the throne after listening to Zhuge Liang's persuasion.Zhuge Liang knelt in front of Liu Bei and said: "In the past, Wu Han, Geng Yan and others persuaded Shizu to take the throne, but Shizu refused again and again, and refused to be called supreme four times. So Geng Chun advised: 'The heroes of the world are looking forward to it. He has hope for the lord. If the lord insists on not obeying and cools the hearts of the subjects, everyone will go to another way and no longer follow the lord.' Shizu felt that Geng Chun had spoken the most sincere heart, so he agreed. Now the Cao family is usurping Han Room, there is no master in the world, the master is the relatives of the Liu family and the descendants of the great ancestors, at this time it is time to proclaim the emperor to comfort the people! The civil servants and generals have followed you for many years and have endured hard work for a long time. Just as Geng Chun said, they all look forward to There can be rewards." Liu Bei thought about it, and helped Zhuge Liang up. He asked Zhuge Liang to sit beside him, stroked his back and asked, "What kind of reward does Kong Ming hope for?" Zhuge Liang bowed his head and said: "Fish water, fish water... what water looks forward to, I am afraid it is..." "what?" "A fish turns into a dragon." Liu Bei was shocked by the word-for-word answer. Liu Bei sighed and said slowly, "Zhao Zhi said that Bingwu in April is a good day." "The minister leads the decree!" Zhuge Liang knelt down again, "April Bingwu!" This was the first time that Zhuge Liang called "Chen" in front of Liu Bei. The word came out of his lips, which made Liu Bei feel a little strange and flustered.He picked up Zhuge Liang, looked at this friend who had shared weal and woe for fourteen years, and couldn't help sighing. "Kong Ming," Liu Bei held Zhuge Liang's hand and said, "Don't be separated from Gu Sheng. The death of Yun Chang and Xiao Zhi made Gu... very lonely. Gu is also old." He took out a handful of frost from his temple hair and shook Liaoji said, "Although, being an emperor is very good, oh, very good, but to be a lonely emperor is also... suffering. So, at least promise one thing alone." "My lord, please speak." "Even if a fish becomes a dragon, water is still water." Liu Bei stared at Zhuge Liang earnestly. It was also the first time that he acted like a father and a child in front of him. Zhuge Liangliang nodded, and Liu Bei smiled happily. "I really want Guo'er to be my daughter-in-law!" Liu Bei said cheerfully, before Zhuge Liang could answer, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't open your mouth! Once you open your mouth, it will be embarrassing! I know Guo'er can't see it." Going to A Dou, don’t, don’t...don’t quibble, haha! I’m not talking about Liu Xuande’s son and Zhuge Liang’s daughter, but Guo’er and A Dou. That’s the children’s business. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. It’s useless to think about it. Haha...just," Liu Bei restrained his laughter and asked, "Adou must have a princess, right? Look at Kong Ming?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Zhang Shu'er is fine." "From the Yide family?" "That's right," Zhuge Liang said, "General Zhang's (Flying) daughter, Shu'er, is dignified and suitable for her age." "How old are you?" "Thirteen." So fourteen-year-old Liu Chan stood beside thirteen-year-old Zhang Shuer, looking up at the back of his father on Wudan Mountain together.What he looked up to at this moment was the back of the founding emperor of Shu Han!A huge black bull head is used to worship the sky, a pot of lush grains is used to sacrifice the land, twelve white jade pieces are used to sacrifice the river, nine black roosters are used to sacrifice the mountains, Liu Bei is wearing a heavy and long dragon robe, the robe From the top of the mountain all the way down the steps, he raised his hands to the sky, and from the smoke of the copper tripod, he saw the future wind and rain of a new kingdom.Flying Dragon Flag, Flying Tiger Flag, Flying Lion Flag, Flying Eagle Flag, Flying Snake Flag, and Pegasus Flag are divided into six colors: red, black, yellow, green, blue, white, and purple. .Liu Chan and Zhang Shu'er, watching this posture, leaned close to each other.Although he likes Zhuge Guo, after seeing Shu'er, Liu Chan finds that she is also very good-looking, with a pair of dimples pinned to her pink and tender face, and her eyes are flickering.Even better, when the wind was strong, she couldn't help hiding behind Liu Chan, which made the young man feel like a man. "My father also has a sword like this." Shu'er touched Liu Chan's sword and whispered. "A total of eight irons were smelted from Jinniu Mountain." Liu Chan stared at Liu Bei, but quietly answered Shu'er. "Eight?" "One is worn by my father, and the other seven are given to me, Lidi, Yongdi, the military division, General Zhao Yun, your father and the dead General Guan. There is an inscription carved by the military division himself on the sword." Liu Chan said. "My dad's is engraved with 'mighty'." "Sacred Artifact, Rui Talisman, Zhu Yao, He Luo, Shen Xing, Zhong Lie..." "anything else?" "Gone." "No more? Isn't it eight?" "Oh, there is no engraving on the military division's." Zhuge Liang stood on the steps with the best famous sword and the unnamed sword hanging from his waist.He tried his best to shorten the distance with Liu Bei, but at this moment, that man...was obviously standing too high, even if he stretched his arms vigorously, he couldn't touch the corner of his clothes.Submitting, Zhuge Liang lowered his head, and following the command of the master of ceremonies, he knelt down on his knees like everyone else.Surrender, Zhuge Liang recited silently in his heart again. Although he was a little sad, he clearly understood that this was exactly what he wanted.Isn't the brilliance and humility that Guan Zhong and Le Yi felt similar to him at this time?A pretty, gentle face flashed in front of my eyes again.Second sister, second sister, I want to... tell you.Thin tears rolled in Zhuge Liang's eyes, but they did not fall after all.The reason why the sword is not engraved is that Liu Bei has not thought of a suitable name for the time being. "I will tell Kong Ming when I think of it," Liu Bei said with a smile, "Anyway, it is very simple for you to engrave it yourself." "...The name of the country is Han, and the name of the year is Zhang Wu!" "Long live, long live... Yongsui Four Seas!" Since then, Liu Bei has another title: emperor. Zhuge Liang will also have another official position. On the second day, Zhuge Liang, dressed in the uniform of a military adviser, walked into the temple. Liu Bei on the throne said cheerfully, "It's time to reward the military adviser." order.One of the servants is holding the official uniform and seal, and the other is holding the festival talisman: granting the festival talisman is to grant arbitrary power. "Military division general Zhuge Liang received the order." Xu Jing said. Zhuge Liang knelt down. Xu Jing said: "I was born in troubled times, inherited the great rule, conscientiously, and restless. I love the people, lest I don't do enough. I only hope that the prime minister Zhuge Liang will deeply understand my intentions, correct my shortcomings, and don't slack off, so as to help spread the righteous way and illuminate the world. I hope you encourage yourself, encourage yourself!" ...Prime Minister? Prime Minister? Under one person, above ten thousand people. Appreciate the people, show rituals, make appointments with officials, and follow the power system. "There is nothing that Kong Ming is good at, and nothing suits you better than 'Prime Minister'." Thinking of Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang smiled knowingly; a few days ago, he also thanked this too expensive official title, and now, it's time for him to accept it. "Get the decree, Prime Minister." Xu Jing presented the decree to Zhuge Liang. The servants came forward, one handed the festival talisman into Zhuge Liang's hand, and the other shook off the prime minister's clothes!It is woven with five-color Shu brocade, and when the sun shines directly, the phoenix, unicorn, and flying fish on it all seem to jump out of the brocade, as if they are going to dive into the sea, rush into the dense forest, and fly to the highest point in the sky.The red is as red as the morning sun; the black is as black as midnight; the combination of black and red is vivid in this costume, outlining a kingdom.It has... the weight of a kingdom.Zhuge Liang took the gold seal with purple ribbon on the plate and hung it around his waist. "Long live Long live Long live." Above the court hall, there is an awe-inspiring look. Standing in gorgeous clothes, Zhuge Liang is like the brightest North Star rising in the night sky. "I still have a private letter to give to the prime minister." "yes." Prime Minister Zhuge Liang sat in the mansion and opened the letterhead at dusk, which read: "Prime Minister, I am determined to go east and take back Jingzhou."
