Now Xu Shu is on his way to Xuchang. Cao Cao knew that Xu Shu had arrived, so he ordered Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other strategists to meet him. Shu entered the Prime Minister's Mansion

Greetings to Cao Cao. "You are a wise man," said Cao Cao."Why should you stoop so low as to serve Liu Bei?”Shu said,"I was a child who fled from the river.

Liu Hu, by chance to Xinye, and Liu Bei's friendship is very good, Liu Bei's mother is here, lucky to be loved, very ashamed.”Cao Cao said,"You have come to this point.

You can serve your mother in the morning and evening, and I can listen to your teachings.”Wang Shu thanked him and left. He hurried to see his mother and knelt down in tears under the hall. His mother was shocked and said,

"Why are you here?" "I am near Xinye," said Shu. Because I got the mother's book, I came here at night." Mother Xu was furious.

He slapped the table and scolded,"You have been wandering in Jianghu for many years. I thought you had made progress in your studies, but why are you not as good as you were at the beginning? Since you're studying, you must be loyal

Filial piety cannot be both. Don't you know that Cao Cao is a traitor who deceives the emperor? Liu Xuande's benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world, not to mention he is a descendant of the Han Dynasty. Since you serve him,

Now that he has found his master, he is relying on a piece of fake book, without careful investigation, and has abandoned the light and gone to the dark, seeking his own bad name. What a fool! What face do I have with you

Meet again! You dishonor your ancestors and live in vain between heaven and earth!”Xu Shu knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up. His mother turned around and left behind the screen.

It was over. After a while, the family came out and reported,"The old lady hanged herself in the beam.”When Xu Shu rushed to the rescue, his mother's breath had died. Later generations have Mother Xu

"The virtuous Mother Xu," said the Praise,"has left her name through the ages. There is no loss in keeping chastity, but it is beneficial to the family. If you educate your children in many ways, you will suffer from your own life. The air is like hills and mountains,

He who is wise and wise is worthy of the army; He who lives gets his name, and he who dies gets his place: Mother Xu, you're so virtuous that your name will be remembered for thousands of years!" Xu Lu saw that his mother was dead and cried for a long time.

Fang Su. Cao Cao sent people with gifts to sympathize with him, and personally went to pay homage. Xu Shu buried his mother's coffin in Nanyuan, Xuchang, and stayed in mourning to guard the tomb. Where Cao Cao

The reward was not accepted.

So he drew the water of the Zhanghe River to build a pool, named Xuanwu Pool, in which he trained the navy to prepare for the southern expedition.

Liu Bei was arranging gifts and was about to pay a visit to Zhuge Liang in Longzhong when someone reported,"There's a gentleman outside the door. He's wearing an imperial hat and a broad belt.

I'm very special. I'm here to visit." "Is this Zhuge Liang?" said Liu Bei.”So he put on his clothes and went out to meet him. It turned out to be Sima Hui. Liu Bei

He was very happy and asked to sit down in the back hall. He bowed and asked: "I bid farewell to my immortal face. Due to military matters, I have missed you. Now that the light has descended, I am greatly comforted.

Mu Zhisi." "I heard that Xu Yuanzhi was here," said Yuan Hui.”Liu Bei replied,"Recently, Cao Cao has imprisoned his mother. It seems that she has sent someone to gallop away.

I'll send you back to Xuchang." "This is Cao Cao's plan! I've always heard that Mother Xu is the most virtuous. Even if she's imprisoned by Cao Cao, she won't let her go.

The letter summoned his son, and the letter must have been a lie. If Yuan Zhi doesn't leave, his mother is still alive. If he leaves now, his mother will die!”Liu Bei was surprised and asked why.

"Xu's mother is very righteous. She must be ashamed to see her son.”"When Yuan Zhi left, he recommended Zhuge Liang of Nanyang. What was he like?" asked Liu Bei.”Hui

"If Yuan Zhi wants to go, he can go. Why do you want him to come out and vomit blood?”"Why do you say that, sir?" asked Liu Bei.”Hui

"Zhuge Liang is close friends with Cui Zhouping of Boling, Shi Guangyuan of Yingchuan, Meng Gongwei and Xu Yuanzhi of Runan. These four people are dedicated to the essence

Only Zhuge Liang could see the general idea of the plan. He once hugged his knees and chanted, pointing to the four men and saying: "You can be promoted to provincial governor or county governor. Everyone asked Kong Ming

Zhuge Liang just smiled and did not answer. He often compared himself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, and his talent could not be measured.”Liu Bei said,"What is the matter with Yingchuan?

How wise!" "In the past, Yin Kui was good at observing astronomy. He once said that the stars were gathered at the Ying point, and that there would be many wise men in that place.”The clouds are always by my side

"I have heard that Guan Zhong and Yue Yi were famous figures in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Their achievements were unparalleled in the world. Isn't it too much for Zhuge Liang to compare himself with these two men?”Hui Xiao

He said,"In my opinion, he should not be compared with these two. I want to send two other people out." "What about the two of them?" Yun Chang asked. "Yes," said Hui

It is like Jiang Ziya in the 800-year-old Xingzhou and Zhang Zifang in the 400-year-old Wanghan.”Everyone was stunned. Yuan Hui went down the steps to bid farewell to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei stopped him.

She didn't want to stay. Yuan Hui went out of the door and looked up to the sky and laughed."Though the dragon has its master, it is not at the right time. What a pity!”After saying that, he floated away. Xuande sighed

"He is indeed a wise recluse," said the man.

The next day, Liu Bei, Guan Zhong, Zhang Bing and others came to Longzhong. Looking at the mountain bank, a few people were plowing in the fields with hoes on their backs, singing: "Cang

I can't sleep well!" When Liu Bei heard the song, he reined in his horse and called the farmer."Who composed this song?" "It's Mr. Wolong," he replied.

This is what I did." "Where does Mr. Wolong live?" asked Liu Bei.”The farmer said,"To the south of this mountain lies a high ridge, the Wolong Ridge.

That's right. In the thatched cottage in the sparse forest in front of the hill, Mr. Zhuge was lying high.”Liu Bei thanked him and rode forward. Not a few miles, looking at the dragon in the distance

Hill, really clear scenery abnormal. Later, there was an ancient style of writing, which said: "The place where the dragon lives alone." The poem says,"Twenty li west of Xiangyang lies a high hill.

Close the thatched cottage, there is a master lying in the thatched cottage, unable to get up. The bamboo trees are arranged on the green screen, and the flowers are fragrant in the four seasons. Yellow scrolls piled up at the head of the bed

There is no white Ding, the blue ape knocks on the door to offer fruit, the old crane guarding the door listens to the scriptures at night; There is an ancient brocade hidden in the bag, and there are seven stars hanging on the sword on the wall. Mister Lu Zhong

At the wooden door, a boy came out to ask. Liu Bei replied,"The General of the Left of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, the Marquis of Yicheng and the Governor of Yuzhou, has come to see you.”boy

"I can't remember many names," he said.”"You only said that Liu Bei had come to visit," said Liu Bei.”"Sir," said the boy,"you are seldom out this morning.”

"Where did he go?" asked Liu Bei. "I can't find him," said the boy."I don't know where he has gone.”"When will you return?" asked Liu Bei. Tong

The Master said,"The date of his return is also uncertain. It may be three or five days, or ten days.”Liu Bei was very sad. Zhang Fei said,"Since you don't see him, go back to your own home."

Forget it." "Wait for a while," said Liu Bei. "Why don't you go back and send someone to find out?" said Guan Yu.”Liu Bei listened to his advice and told him,

"If you come back, sir," said Fu Tongzi,"I can tell you that Liu Bei has come to visit you.”So he mounted his horse and walked a few miles. He reined in his horse and looked back at the scenery in the mountains. As expected, the mountain was not high.

The water is not deep but clear, the land is not wide but flat, and the forest is not big but lush. Apes and cranes meet each other, pines and bamboos meet each other. I can't stop watching,

Suddenly he saw a man with an imposing appearance, handsome and handsome, wearing a free towel on his head and a black cloth robe, walking on a cane from a remote mountain path. Liu Bei

"This must be Mr. Wolong," said the man. He dismounted from his horse and saluted the young man."Are you not a sleeping dragon, sir?" he asked.”The man said,"Yes, General."

Who?" "Liu Bei," said Liu Bei. "I am not Zhuge Liang," said the man."I am Zhuge Liang's friend, Cui Zhouping of Boling.”Liu Bei said,

"I've long heard of your great name. Please sit down on the spot and ask for advice.”The two men sat facing each other on a stone in the forest. Guan Yu and Zhang Yu stood beside them.

To the side. "General, why do you want to see Zhuge Liang?" asked Zhou Ping.”"The world is in chaos," said Liu Bei,"and there is a great disturbance everywhere. I wish to see Zhuge Liang.

It's just a strategy to stabilize the country." Zhou Ping smiled and said,"You are a benevolent man who puts down chaos. But since ancient times, chaos has never been fixed. exalts himself

Zu cut off the snake uprising, killed the Qin Dynasty no way, this is from chaos to governance; In the two hundred years of Emperor Ai and Emperor Ping, peace lasted for a long time. Wang Mang usurped the throne and rebelled.

From governance to chaos, Guangwu revived, reorganized the foundation, and from chaos to governance; It has been two hundred years since then, and the people have been at peace for a long time, so there have been four wars.

Liu Qi: This is the time when the country is in chaos and cannot be settled suddenly. General, if you want to let Zhuge Liang mediate between heaven and earth and mend the world, I'm afraid it won't be easy and will be a waste of time.

It's all about the heart. Don't you hear that those who obey the will of heaven are at ease, and those who oppose the will of heaven are tired? Where the number is, it cannot be obtained by reason; Where life is, people can't force it

Huh?" "What you have said is truly wise," said Liu Bei. As a descendant of the Han Dynasty, I should help the Han Dynasty. How dare I entrust it to him?

Life?" Zhou Ping said,"A man of the mountains and fields is not worthy of discussing the affairs of the world with him. I have just received your inquiry, so I speak nonsense.”"Mr. Meng," said Liu Bei.

Please teach me. Where did Zhuge Liang go?" "I also want to visit him, but I don't know where he is going.”"Please," said Liu Bei.

How about you come to my county with me, sir?" Zhou Ping said,"I am a man of leisure, and have no interest in fame for a long time. Let's meet again in the future." Then,

He bowed and left. Liu Bei, Guan Zhong and Zhang Xuan mounted their horses and set off. "Zhuge Liang couldn't find him," said Zhang Fei,"but he met this pedantic scholar and chatted with him for a long time.”

"This is what the hermit said," said Liu Bei.”

The three of them returned to Xinye. A few days later, Liu Bei sent someone to inquire about Zhuge Liang. The messenger replied,"Mr. Wolong has returned.”Xuande is convenient

Teach them to prepare horses. "I'm just a villager," said Zhang Fei."Why do you have to go yourself, brother? You can send for me.”"Haven't you heard?" said Liu Bei.

Mencius said: want to see a wise man but do not use his way, is like want him to enter but close the door. Zhuge Liang is a great sage at that time. How can he be summoned?”So he mounted his horse again

I went to visit Zhuge Liang. Guan Yu and Zhang Yu also rode with him. It was the middle of winter, the weather was cold, and the clouds were dense. Walking for miles, suddenly the north wind blows

Cold, auspicious snow fell: mountains like jade clusters, forests like silver makeup. Zhang Fei said,"The weather is cold and the earth is frozen. There is no need for us to fight. How can we look at useless people?"

Ah! Why don't we return to Xinye to avoid the snow?" "I was just about to let Zhuge Liang know of my intentions," said Liu Bei. If you're afraid of the cold, you can go back first.

Go." "I'm not afraid of death," said Yue Fei."How can I be afraid of the cold? But I'm afraid your efforts will be in vain." "Say no more," said Liu Bei."Let us go together.

Go." As he approached the thatched cottage, he suddenly heard someone singing in a hotel by the road. Liu Bei immediately listened. The song goes,"A hero's fame is not yet accomplished.

Alas, it has been a long time since I met the spring! Don't you see that the old man in the East China Sea said goodbye to the thistles and thorns, and the car behind him became close to King Wen of Zhou? Eight hundred vassals do not meet, white fish into the boat to wade

Mengjin, Muye battle blood pestle, eagle flying Wei Lie crown Wuchen. I don't see Gaoyang drunkard draft, long Ji Mang Dang Long Zhun Gong; talked about

Wang Ba is very shocking, stop washing, delay and sit in the wind of Qin Ying; There are seventy-two cities in Qi to the east, and no one in the world can follow them. The achievements of the two people are still so, until now

Who is willing to talk about heroes?" After a break, another man hit the table and sang. The song goes,"My emperor carries his sword to clear the sea, and his business has been established for four hundred years."

At the end of the reign of Emperor Huan Ling, the virtue of fire declined, and the treacherous minister and thief son were transferred to Ding Nai. The green snake flew down to the throne, and the demon rainbow fell on the jade hall. Thieves from all directions gather like ants,

A hundred villains are like eagles, and we shout and clap our hands in the air, and come to the village shop to drink the wine of the village. I'll be safe every day if I'm alone. Why should I be famous for thousands of years?

Decay!"

After the two finished singing, they clapped their hands and laughed. Liu Bei said,"The Sleeping Dragon must be here.”So he dismounted and entered the inn. Seeing the two of them drinking at the table, he said,

The man with the upper head has a white face and a long beard, and the man with the lower head has a clear and strange ancient appearance. "Which of you is Mr. Wolong?" asked Liu Bei.”The bearded man said,

"Who are you? What's the point of looking for the Sleeping Dragon?" "I am Liu Bei," said Liu Bei. I want to visit you and ask you for a way to help the world and calm the people.”long beard

The man said,"We are not Crouching Dragons, but friends of Crouching Dragons. I am Shi Guangyuan of Yingchuan, and this is Meng Gongwei of Runan.”Liu Bei said happily,

"I've long heard of the two dukes 'great names. Now that there are horses here, I would like to invite you to Wolong Village for a talk.”Guangyuan

He said,"We are all lazy people in the mountains. We do not care about the affairs of governing the country and pacifying the people. We do not need to trouble you to ask. Ming Gong asked him to mount his horse and look for Wolong.”

Liu Bei said goodbye to the two men, mounted his horse, and rode to Wolong Ridge. Arriving in front of the village, he dismounted and knocked on the door. He asked the boy: "Is Mister in the manor today?"

"He is now studying in the hall," said the boy.”Liu Bei was overjoyed and followed the boy into the palace. When he reached the middle door, he saw a couplet on the door:

"Indifference to show one's ambition. Tranquility and far-reaching." As Liu Bei was looking, he suddenly heard the sound of chanting. He stood by the door and peeked. He saw the thatched cottage.

On the platform, a young man hugged the stove and hugged his knees, singing: "The phoenix soars thousands of feet, and it doesn't perch unless it's a parasol tree. The scholar lives in a corner, does not obey the monarch.

Happy to personally cultivate the fields, ah, I love my cottage; I'm proud of the music and books, waiting for the weather.”

When the song was over, Liu Bei went up to the thatched cottage and bowed."Mr. Bei Jiu Mu, I have no chance to meet you. Yesterday, because Xu Yuanzhi recommended him, I respected him as an immortal.

Zhuang County, do not meet empty return. I've braved the wind and snow to come here today. "It's really a blessing to be able to see your appearance," the youth hurriedly replied."General, could it be

It's all. I have three brothers. My eldest brother Zhuge Jin is now a guest of Sun Zhongmou in Jiangdong. Zhuge Liang is our elder brother." Liu Bei said,

"Is Wolong at home now?" "Yesterday I met with Cui Zhouping and went out for a leisure trip.”"Where do you want to go?" asked Liu Bei.

"I travel in small boats in the rivers and lakes, visit the monks and Taoists on the mountains, find friends in the villages, play the zither and play chess," said Jun,

Inside the cave, it was hard to tell where to go.”Liu Bei replied,"Liu Bei's fate is so shallow that he has twice failed to meet a wise man.”both

"Sit down and offer tea," said the man. "Since the master is not here," said Zhang Fei,"please mount your horse.”"Since I have come here," said Liu Bei,"I will

Why didn't you say anything?" Then he asked Zhuge Jun,"I have heard that your brother, Mr. Wolong, is well versed in military strategy and has been reading books on war every day.”both

"I don't know." Zhang Fei replied,"It's too much to ask him. The wind and snow are very tight. It's better to return early." Liu Bei rebuked him. "My brother," said Jun

Arrived. I hope to borrow paper and pen to write a letter, leaving your brother to express Liu Bei's hospitality.”Li Jun then presented the four treasures of the study. Xuande shouts at the pen that has been unfrozen,

With the title, I saw the decline of the court, the collapse of the code of discipline, the chaos of the country, the evil party deceiving the monarch, Liu Bei was heartbroken. Although there is sincerity to help, in fact,

There is no way to govern the country. I look up to you for your kindness and loyalty. You generously display Lv Wang's great talent and implement Liang Fang's grand strategy. It is a great blessing for the world! The country is blessed

What! First of all, I have been granted the title of Buddha, and then I have been allowed to fast and bathe. I have specially paid my respects to you, and my face is full of contempt. Tongxi Jianyuan." Liu Bei finished writing and handed it to Zhuge Jun.

He took it and left. After seeing them out, Liu Bei repeatedly paid his respects and took his leave. Just as he mounted his horse and was about to set out, he suddenly saw a boy waving his hand outside the fence and shouting,

A young boy in green came over with a gourd of wine. He turned around the small bridge and recited a poem. The poem says,"A night of cold wind in the north, ten thousand li

The clouds are thick. The sky is full of snow, and the old rivers and mountains have been changed. Looking up at the empty fire, I suspected that it was a jade dragon fighting. Their scales flew and covered the universe in an instant.

Riding a donkey over a small bridge, I sigh alone at the thin plum blossoms!”When Liu Bei heard the song, he said,"This is really a sleeping dragon.”He dismounted from his horse and saluted, saying,"First

It's not easy to be born in the cold! Liu Bei has been waiting for a long time!" The man hurriedly got off the donkey and bowed.

Zhuge Jun said,"This is not my brother, but my brother's father-in-law, Huang Chengyan.”Liu Bei said,"I have just recited a poem.

It's extremely brilliant." ChengYan said: "I was at my son-in-law's home watching" Liang Fu Yin,"remember this one; Just across the bridge, I saw the fence

Plum blossoms, so feel and recite. I didn't expect you to hear about it." "Have you seen your son-in-law?" asked Liu Bei. "I am," said Cheng Yan.

To see him." Hearing this, Liu Bei took his leave and rode back. It was snowing heavily. Looking back at Wolong Hill, I was very sad. descendants

There is a poem about Liu Bei's visit to Zhuge Liang in the wind and snow. "The Book of Songs" says: "One day in the snow, I visited the virtuous, but did not meet the empty return of the heart sad. Frozen together, the bridge by the stream is slippery on the rocks,

the cold invades the pommel horse's long road. Pear blossoms fell from his head, and willow leaves fluttered in his face. Looking back, I stopped my whip and looked into the distance. The rotten silver piled up in the dragon bed.

Gang."

After Liu Bei returned to Xinye, time passed quickly and the new year came early. So he ordered the diviner to choose an auspicious day, fast for three days, and wash his face again.

Then he went to Wolong Ridge to pay his respects to Zhuge Liang. Guan Yu and Zhang Yu were not happy to hear this, so they went together to remonstrate with Liu Bei. [Original Title: A Virtuous Man Unconvinced of Heroic Will, Concealed]

but I have the suspicion of a brilliant scholar. I don't know what he said, but I'll understand it later.
