Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 562 The whereabouts of the crouching dragon, looking at the thatched cottage

Jingzhou, Xinye.

"My lord, Mr. Wolong's whereabouts have been found!" Sun Qian reported with a happy face.

"Really? Where is Mr. Wolong now?" Liu Bei said happily.

"Mr. Wolong is currently farming in a place called Wollongong on the outskirts of Xiangyang." Sun Qian replied.

"Okay! I'm going to ask Mr. Wolong to come out of the mountain to assist me!" Liu Bei got up and said.

"My lord, why do you need to go in person?" Sun Qian asked doubtfully.

"How dare I neglect a hermit like Mr. Wolong? If I send someone to go, it's not enough to show my sincerity. I must go in person! Go tell the second and third brothers, and tell them to go with me!" Liu Bei Stern way.

"Your subordinates take orders!" Sun Qian bowed his hands and left.

"One of the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks can win the world, and one of the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks can secure the world..." After Sun Qian left, Liu Bei kept talking.

In Liu Bei's view, although Fengchu has already chosen a master, Wolong has not yet become an official. If he can get Wolong's vote, he can still compete in this world!

It's a pity that Liu Bei only knows one thing and doesn't know the other.

In this life, Sima Hui did not tell Liu Bei the second half of this sentence.

There is indeed something to be said about "the crouching dragon, the phoenix, and the young can make the world safe", but the second half of the sentence is "If one of Zichu's filial piety dies, the Han Dynasty will not prosper."

That is to say, this is a double condition, Wolongfengchu must have one, and must be assisted by Zichu and Xiaozhi.

But Fengchu, Zichu, and Xiaozhi died one after another, leaving Wolong alone, so how could Liu Bei help the Han Dynasty?

Who are Zichu and Xiaozhi?

Zichu is Liu Ba Liu Zichu;
Filial piety is the righteousness of the law, filial piety and straightness.

Liu Ba, courtesy name Zichu, was born in Zhengyang, Lingling. His grandfather Liu Yao was the prefect of Cangwu County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his father Liu Xiang also served as the prefect of Jiangxia County and General Dangkou.Liu Ba was very famous when he was young. It can be said that he "became famous at a young age and learned a lot".

At that time, Liu Biao recruited and recommended Liu Ba as a talented person many times, but Liu Ba thought it would be difficult for Liu Biao to succeed, so he never agreed.

Liu Ba can be regarded as a very assertive person. He first followed Cao Cao, then assisted Liu Zhang, and finally switched to Liu Bei's command.

After surrendering to Liu Bei, under Zhuge Liang's recommendation, Liu Bei appointed Liu Ba to be in charge of grain and grass finance.

The reason why Liu Bei was able to fight abroad without lack of food or money was due to Liu Ba.

In the process of formulating "Shu Ke", Liu Ba was the leader. Even Zhuge Liang could only help Liu Ba. The "Shu Ke" formulated with Liu Ba as the leader laid the legal foundation for the Shu Han regime.

Zhuge Liang once sighed: "I am not as good as Zichu in strategizing!"

Zhuge Liang is such a proud and arrogant person, and being able to get such an evaluation from Zhuge Liang is enough to show Liu Ba's ability.

In 219, Liu Bei became King of Hanzhong and appointed Liu Ba as Minister.

In 220, Fazheng died of illness in the year of Shangshuling, and Liu Ba was changed to Shangshuling.

In 221, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, and all kinds of prayers, edicts and documents needed for Liu Bei's ascension to the throne were all made by Liu Ba.

In short, Liu Ba is to Liu Bei what Xiao He is to his great-grandfather. As the logistics manager of the Shu Han, Liu Ba has made great contributions.

After talking about Liu Ba, let's talk about Fazheng.

Fazheng's reputation is much greater than that of Liu Ba, and this name is familiar to everyone.

Since Fazheng followed Liu Bei, he quickly came to the fore, offering advice and suggestions for Liu Bei's great achievements, and it didn't take long for him to enter Liu Bei's inner circle.

Fa Zheng was an important counselor under Liu Bei's command.

If you take a more classic battle as an example, it would be the battle of "Setting the Army and Killing Xiahou". This battle established the direction of the Battle of Hanzhong, and Liu Bei won Hanzhong as he wished.

After Fazheng's death, Liu Bei wept unceasingly. He washed his face with tears for several days and was depressed.

Not long after, Lu Xun set fire to his battalion for eight hundred miles, and the remnants of the Shu Han returned in dismay.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang sighed: "If Xiaozhi is still alive, he will definitely be able to turn the situation around!"

Fazheng was also the only minister with a posthumous title in Liu Bei's era, which shows that Liu Bei attached great importance to Fazheng.

In "Three Kingdoms" written by Chen Shou, Fazheng was praised by Chen Shou as a great talent comparable to Guo Jia.

"Zhuge Liang and Zheng are not the same, although they are good, they are based on justice. The upright law sees success or failure, and has unique strategies, but it is not called virtue. Cheng and Guo Zhiju Lixie?"

"Zhuge Liang is the Prime Minister of the country, and he can be said to be a good talent for knowledge and governance. Guan and Xiao are the same. However, he has been mobilizing people for years, but he has not succeeded. It is due to the strategy of adapting to the situation, which is not his strong point!"

Both of the above two passages came from Chen Shou. From these two passages, we can know that Chen Shou believed that Zhuge Liang was more suitable to be a state minister like Guan Zhong and Xiao He, rather than a commander in chief who led troops in battle.

Not to mention anything else, Chen Shou believed that Zhuge Liang would definitely be inferior to Fazheng in terms of making suggestions and suggestions.

In fact, when he came to Jingzhou this time, Lu Bu should have gone to visit Liu Ba, but the so-called hundred secrets eventually fell apart. Because Liu Ba's reputation is really low, so Lu Bu ignored this person. This is not a small problem for Lu Bu. loss.

Of course, this is not to say that Zhuge Liang's commander-in-chief will be much lower than that of Fazheng. After all, this is the world of Romance, not the world in "Three Kingdoms".

……

The book returned to the text, and after a brief tidying up, Liu Bei took Wei Wentong and Master Shang and his disciples to rush towards Wollongong non-stop.

Liu Bei, who was riding on the horse, had a happy expression on his face, and he kept chanting "the crouching dragon and phoenix chick can be safe in the world".

"Mr. Shui Jing compares Wolong to Jiang Ziya, who lived 800 years ago in Xing Zhou, and Zhang Zifang, who lived 400 years ago in Wang Han. If we can get his help, we can help the Han Dynasty!" Liu Bei thought to himself.

After entering the boundary of Longzhong, Liu Beisan and the three met a woodcutter on the road. The woodcutter carried firewood on his shoulders and sang loudly: "The sky is like a round cover, and the land is like a chess board; people in the world are divided into black and white, and they fight for honor and disgrace; From An'an, those who humiliate will be mediocre; Nanyang has hermits, and there is not enough sleeping in high places!"

Liu Bei was very surprised when he heard it, so he reined in his horse and asked, "May I ask who wrote this song?"

The woodcutter glanced up at Liu Bei, and said proudly, "This song was written by Mr. Wolong!"

Liu Bei said happily after hearing this: "May I ask where Mr. Wolong is now?"

The woodcutter sized up Liu Bei and the three of them, then shook his head and said, "Mr. went out for a wandering a few days ago, and I don't know if he's back at this time."

Although Liu Bei felt a little regretful, he still asked, "Please tell me where Mr. Wolong lives."

The woodcutter raised his hand and pointed: "From the south of this mountain, there is a high hill, which is Wolonggang. The thatched cottage in the sparse forest in front of the hill is the place where Mr. Zhuge lies."

Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency!"

The woodcutter waved his hand and said, "It's just a few trivial things, I don't need to thank you."

After finishing speaking, the woodcutter sang and left, while the three Liu Bei brothers rode their horses and went straight to Wollongong.

　One more!
