Zhuge Liang was a person who was famous and capable. He was a capable official.
Liu Jue even felt that if Zhuge Liang did not support Liu Bei after his death, Shu Han would not last for decades.
Although some people said that Zhuge Liang was a powerful official, and he was indeed a powerful official, he lived up to Liu Bei's trust and did not do anything to usurp the throne.
Some people said that Zhuge Liang did not know how to use troops. If he did not know military affairs, would he be appointed as the military advisor by Liu Bei?
Moreover, Zhuge Liang was thrifty and did not have any extra property in his family. His moral character was also commendable.
It was now the eleventh year of Jian 'an, and Liu Bei still had Xu Shu by his side. He had yet to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the thatched cottage three times, so it was a great opportunity for Liu Jue to make a move.
Liu Jue sped up his horse and arrived at Zhuge Liang's residence in less than an hour.
This place could indeed be considered a paradise. As far as the eye could see, farmers could be seen working in the fields. Compared to the war-torn north, this place was simply heaven.
Liu Jue asked a farmer for directions and found out the location of Wolonggang. He immediately led Zhao Long on horseback.
A few minutes later, Liu Jue saw a thatched cottage surrounded by a quiet forest. He immediately dismounted and knocked on the wooden door.
The wooden door creaked open. Behind the door was a beautiful young woman in a bramble dress. The most eye-catching thing was her orange hair.
"Little Jue, why are you here?”The one who opened the door was Zhuge Liang's wife, Huang Yueying.
"Liu Jue greets cousin. This visit is really for a special matter.”Liu Jue said with a smile.
It was said that Huang Yueying was ugly with yellow hair and black skin. That was just a rumor, but the fact that she had yellow hair was the truth.
"Please come in." Huang Yueying was smart and virtuous. She knew that she shouldn't ask about men's matters.
"Good!" Liu Jue asked Zhao Long and the others to wait outside while he followed Huang Yueying inside.
Huang Yueying sat down in the room and served tea. Liu Jue asked,""Cousin, isn't my cousin-in-law home?”
" He went out to look for his good friend early in the morning," Huang Yueying said with a smile." I don't know when he'll be back. What do you want from him?"”
Liu Jue rolled his eyes and said," I've often heard people say that my cousin-in-law is like Guan Zhong and Yue Yi. He has the ability to stabilize the country. Now that I'm the prefect of Jiangxia, I want to ask him to come out of the mountain to help me."”
"So that's how it is!" Huang Yueying smiled. Ever since you defeated Zhou Yu and the news reached Xiangyang, he has praised you more than once.”
Zhuge Liang praised me?
Liu Jue was a little surprised, but he soon understood. After all, he had defeated Zhou Yu, who was famous throughout River East.
Huang Yueying's words made Liu Jue more confident, so he said,""Cousin, if brother-in-law comes back later, you have to say a few words for me.”
Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and said,""This is a matter between you men. Why should a woman like me get involved? If you can persuade him to give you advice, that's your ability.”
As the two of them chatted, in the blink of an eye, it was noon. Suddenly, they heard footsteps coming from outside, followed by a clear voice,"Madam, are there any guests at home?”
Liu Jue's heart skipped a beat. Zhuge Liang must have returned.
Huang Yueying quickly went out and said to Zhuge Liang,""You're finally willing to come back. The guests have been waiting for half a day.”
Liu Jue also stood up and saw Huang Yueying and a young man enter. He was wearing a dark robe and looked to be in his twenties. He was tall, slender, and had a majestic appearance.
When Zhuge Liang saw Liu Jue, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then cupped his hands and said,"I was wondering who it was, but it turns out to be the Third Young Master!”
Liu Jue was also a little excited at this moment. He cupped his hands and said,"Brother Kong Ming, this little brother has waited for so long.”
No matter how the later generations evaluated Zhuge Liang, when you really saw him, it was difficult to ignore his existence, because your eyes would involuntarily notice him.
"Third Young Master, why do you say this?”Zhuge Liang was still smiling. He was also sizing up Liu Jue. He was different from the youth in his memory. At this moment, Liu Jue was very valiant.
"As expected of someone who could defeat Zhou Yu. Liu Qi and Liu Cong can't compare to his bearing.”Zhuge Liang thought to himself.
The two of them exchanged some pleasantries. Zhuge Liang invited Liu Jue to sit down while Huang Yueying excused herself and left.
Zhuge Liang sat upright and said,""May I know why Third Young Master has come to my humble abode?”
"Brother Kong Ming, I won't beat around the bush with you. This time, I want to invite you to Jiangxia to help me achieve something big."”
Zhuge Liang said calmly,"The Third Young Master defeated Zhou Yu and conquered Chaisang. His reputation shook Jingzhou." Kong Ming was just a mountain villager, and the little ink in his stomach was probably not enough to assist the Third Young Master.”
Liu Jue smiled and said," Brother Kong Ming, you don't have to be modest. I once heard that you often compare yourself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi. Isn't that enough to assist me?"”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and laughed,"I was just talking about it when I was drunk!" Zhuge Liang was busy plowing the fields and was at ease. He did not want to go out and wade in this muddy water.”
Liu Jue sighed and said,"Guan Zhong assisted Duke Huan of Qi to unite the vassals nine times and rectify the world." Yue Yi led the army of the six countries and captured more than 70 cities of Qi. Who would have thought that these two heroes would become the target of Brother Kong Ming's jokes!”
Zhuge Liang was still smiling and said,""Although I am not as good as Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, can the Third Young Master be compared to Duke Huan of Qi and the six monarchs?”
"What's there to compare?" Liu Jue said confidently.”
Zhuge Liang stopped smiling and asked,""Third Young Master is the Governor of Jiangxia and has tens of thousands of soldiers. I wonder what plans you have for the future?”
Liu Jue knew that Zhuge Liang was testing him. If he could pass this test, he would be able to obtain his assistance. Otherwise, his trip here would be in vain.
Liu Jue thought for a moment and replied," I defeated Zhou Yu and took down Chaisang City. My father saw me in a new light. With the support of the Cai and Kuai families, I will definitely inherit the position of Jing Prefecture Overseer in the future."”
"When I take control of Jing State, I can attack Yi State in the west and Jiao State in the south. If I can cross Jing and Yi, I can fight Cao Cao.”
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression, because this was exactly what he was thinking.
Zhuge Liang continued to ask," Now that Cao Cao has unified the north, I'm afraid it won't be long before he leads his army to the south. By then, the Third Young Master won't be able to protect himself. How can he care about attacking Yizhou and Jiaozhou?”
" Cao Cao's soldiers are all northerners," Liu Jue said confidently." If he sends his army south, he will definitely not be able to adapt to the environment. Our Jingzhou navy will wait for fatigue and defeat him."”
In fact, these words were all nonsense. Liu Jue's greatest reliance was the system. Any black technology from the system was enough to make Cao Cao suffer.
Zhuge Liang sighed and said,"Since Third Young Master already has a plan in his heart, why should he let Kong Ming come up with a plan?"”
"A person's intelligence is limited. If Brother Kong Ming can come and help me, the great cause of hegemony is just around the corner!"”
Zhuge Liang tidied his clothes and cupped his hands."Since Third Young Master's kindness is hard to refuse, Kong Ming is willing to do his best!”
Liu Jue was ecstatic and quickly said,"With Brother Kong Ming's help, I'm like a tiger with wings.”
The dragon was already in his hands, so would the phoenix be far away?
