Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 208

Linzi city.

school.

Two teenagers, one big and one small, faced each other tit for tat.

The boy on the left, about ten years old, is dressed in an extraordinary manner.

The young man on the right, fifteen or sixteen years old, is a mature young man with a look of disdain.

"I didn't expect someone to test the art of war with Ah Yi!"

"Don't look at Ah Yi's young age, but he has been on the battlefield with Duke Ning, and he has been taught by Duke Ning since he was a child. His military skills should not be taken lightly."

"Ahem, you misunderstood. It's not that this person wants to compete with Ah Yi in the art of war. It's that Master Zheng has something to leave and asks A Liang to take charge of the examinations for the scholars who want to learn. As a result, A Liang went to sleep in the back room, and let Ah Yi is here for the school exam."

"A Liang went to bed again? What time is it?"

"If you want to sleep, you can sleep too! Master Zheng said, eat well and sleep well before you can recharge your energy to study knowledge."

"Don't try to fool me, Master Zheng also said that if you neglect your studies, you will be expelled from the school."

"Hey, who is this boy? Does anyone know?"

"It seems to be from Huainan. There are a lot of young men coming from Huainan recently. I don't know why."

"Why else? Huainan Yuan Shu's violent expropriation in Huainan is probably to let the outstanding sons of the clan come to Qingzhou to study and avoid disaster."

"In this way, the young man who competed with Ah Yi should not be underestimated, but who is he?"

"Yeah, who the hell is he?"

"I do not know!"

Everyone looked at the mature young man who was sitting opposite Lu Yi.

inside the house.

The young Zhuge Liang was reclining on the couch, closing his eyes and meditating.

Now on the first month of the lunar year, the weather in Linzi City is still a bit cold, but Zhuge Liang is shaking a small feather fan in his hand.

This lupine was made by Zhuge Liang compared to Zheng Ping's. Except that the feathers are one size smaller, the number of feathers is the same!

Even the silk that wraps the lupines is the same color!

As Qingzhou spread news to the states, a large number of scholars and civilians poured into Qingzhou.

Among them, there are many young men from rich families who want to come to the school to find an opportunity.

After all, once you enter the school, you become Zheng Xuan's student.

Those who are outstanding can even become Zheng Xuan's disciples.

This opportunity is rare!
But today Zheng Xuan was invited to write an inscription for a newly built school.

Most of the government schools in Qingzhou are funded by the private sector.

Then erect a stone tablet in front of the gate of the official school, on which there will be the origin and name of the investor for the public to admire.

And, Zheng Xuan's inscription!

However, Zheng Xuan's inscription was not Zheng Xuan's inscription on the stone tablet, but Zheng Xuan's inscription on the silk script, and then the craftsman took the silk script and engraved the words on the stone tablet.

This silk book will become the treasure of the family that invested the most.

Before Zheng Xuan left, he asked Zhuge Liang to examine the group of scholars who wanted to learn.

After all, other teachers are busy, and Zhuge Liang is the most free.

After Zhuge Liang made a few assessments, he felt bored.

With Zhuge Liang's current talent and learning, it has far surpassed ordinary adult scholars, let alone a group of young scholars.

Just right.

After Tai Shici went back to Yangzhou, Lu Kang sent his grandson Lu Yi to Linzi City.

Although this Lu Yi is young, he is talented and intelligent, and he is only two years younger than Zhuge Liang, so he is quite fond of Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang had nothing to do, so he took Lu Yi with him and taught Lu Yi how to study.

It is not so much that Lu Yi is following Zheng Xuan to study the classics, it is better to say that Lu Yi is following Zhuge Liang to learn the art of various schools of thought.

Lu Yi was extremely obsessed with the art of war, he was the one who had the deepest understanding of the art of war in the school other than Zhuge Liang.

rub rub.

There was a knock on the door.

Zhuge Liang stretched his waist and straightened up.

"Whoever wakes up to a big dream, I know it all my life. Wa Tangchun sleeps enough, and the sun is getting late outside the window."

"Hey, that's not right. I fell asleep in the afternoon, which is not appropriate."

"Stop knocking, the door isn't closed."

The voice just fell.

Lu Yi pushed open the door cautiously, his eyes fluttering: "Brother Ah Liang, I have a stomachache and want to go to the toilet. There are still a few outside who haven't finished the assessment."

"Go, go! Children are children, they can't sit still." Zhuge Liang yawned, not seeing Lu Yi's vacillating eyes.

Lu Yi got the permission, cheered secretly, and ran away in a hurry.

"It's pretty fast." Zhuge Liang muttered subconsciously, and walked out of the inner room.

When the students saw Zhuge Liang coming out, they immediately shouted.

"Ah Liang, Ah Yi said that he needs to go to the toilet, you can believe this excuse."

"Huh? Why don't you run so fast?"

"That's because he lost."

"What did you lose?"

"Competed with others in the art of war, then lost three games in a row, and finally said A Liang that you are the one with the highest attainment in art of war in the school. After I called you out, I was afraid that you would blame me, so I ran away."

"Since you are praising me, why run away? I am the one with the highest attainment in the art of war in the school!"

"No wonder Ah Yi has become more and more crazy recently, Ah Liang, don't bring Ah Yi into trouble."

Zhuge Liang's somewhat sleepy eyes gradually became clear, he glanced at the students around him, then took out the feather fan, and shook it lightly: "Brother Xianmou once said that a person is not frivolous and wastes youth, and he is not a gentleman without a careless heart."

The students couldn't help shaking their heads.

Lu Yi's madness comes from Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang's madness comes from Zheng Ping.

Zheng Ping's madness
It was too late for all the students to admire him, and they didn't think Zheng Ping was crazy at all.

"What do you call your Excellency?" Zhuge Liang sat in Lu Yi's position just now, looked at the mature young man in front of him, and bowed his hands.

The young man looked at Zhuge Liang carefully, and replied, "Liu Ye is from Huainan Chengde."

Zhuge Liang's eyes were burning: "Liang once heard that there is a young hero in Huainan Chengde, also named Liu Mingye."

"Liu Ye was seven years old at the time, and his mother said on her deathbed, 'Public servants have the nature of flattery and harm. After death, fear will destroy the family. If you grow up and can get rid of it, I will have no hatred'."

"And when Liu Ye was 13 years old, following his mother's last words, he entered the house and killed the waiter, and went out to worship the tomb."

"His father was furious, and sent someone to pursue Liu Ye to question him, but Liu Ye said: "The words of the dead mother, dare to be punished for doing things without asking."

"Xu Shao, a famous official in Runan, is good at knowing people. After hearing about this, he asserted that Liu Ye has the talent to serve the world."

"I don't know if this person and Your Excellency are the same person?"

Liu Ye's eyes were humble: "Zi Jianggong's words in the past were absurdly praised, Ye just followed the words of his dead mother's life, and he didn't take it seriously."

All the students were shocked.

"Sage's talent? Crazy assertion."

"I have only heard that Wen Ruogong of the Xun family in Yingchuan is called Wang Zuozhi."

"It's just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, two years younger than me, isn't it a lie?"

"There are many people who are younger than you and more talented than you, such as Ah Liang, such as me."

"Compared to Ah Liang, I really don't feel ashamed, you guys!"

"Stop making trouble, listen carefully, Ah Liang's eyes have changed."

"It seems that there will be another battle between dragons and tigers. Aliang has never lost in the art of war."

"Since he is the talent of Zuoshi, and he won Ah Yi again, he must have some skills. I hope that Ah Liang will lose, so that Ah Liang doesn't have to be crazy."

"A Liangkuang also has real skills, don't be jealous."

"I'm not jealous, I just want to see Ah Liang lose, it will be fun."

The whispers of the students reached Liu Ye's ears.

Liu Ye also meant to compete: "Shall we compare the art of war?"

Under the watchful eyes of all the scholars, Zhuge Liang stood up, glanced at the young scholars who were still waiting in a long line for the assessment, and couldn't help complaining: "What is the comparison! It's just an entrance examination, and it's still time It's not over."

"No wonder Ah Hui ran away, because he was worried that I would beat him."

"Liu Ye, congratulations, you have passed the school's assessment! With your talent, you are enough to become Master Zheng's disciple."

"However, although there is no priority in learning, there is a priority in getting started. From now on, I will be your senior brother."

"Junior Brother, I will leave the rest of the assessment to you."

"Brother, I have to find Ah Yi, how dare you fool me!"

Liu Ye's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Zhuge Liang who was leaving in disbelief.

"Can--"

"You decide the assessment rules."

Seeing Zhuge Liang walking away quickly, Liu Ye froze in place.

All the students also shook their heads and left.

"I knew, how could Ah Liang sit down and compete with others in the art of war."

"Hey, I missed the show again."

"Stop complaining, go back and review your homework, Master Zheng will check when he comes back."

"It turned out to be Liu Ye, who was asserted by the quilt general to have the talent of the world, and my ranking has to be lowered by one."

"Be content, at least you can brag about it when you go home."

Seeing that Liu Ye was still a little dazed, a student kindly reminded him: "Brother Ye, don't be surprised, the atmosphere in the school is very relaxed."

"What A Liang means is that since you are dubbed as a talented person by the quilt, completing the assessment of the rest of the students will be your assessment."

"This kind of reason for not being frank, I think you can accept it a little bit."

The corner of Liu Ye's mouth twitched: "What's the reason for being frank?"

The student smiled and said, "No one else, Ah Liang is in a hurry to find Mr. Xianmou. I really envy you. You can let Mr. Xianmou know your name as soon as you come here."

Liu Ye's eyes moved, he understood the student's kindness, and immediately bowed his hands: "Ye, thank you very much."

And on the other side.

Zhuge Liang rode on the pony and brought Lu Yi, who had obviously been beaten up, to look for Zheng Ping.

Although Lu Yi also learned the art of strengthening his body since he was a child, his strength and moves were obviously inferior to Zhuge Liang who received too much training in the military camp.

In addition, Lu Yi lied to Zhuge Liang first, and he could only bear it resentfully when he was beaten.

Glancing at Lu Yi, Zheng Ping couldn't help but chuckled: "Ah Yi, you are also Ji Ninggong's grandson after all, why are you always beaten by Ah Liang?"

Lu Yi seemed to have gained more courage, and said angrily, "Brother Xianmou, Brother Aliang is bullying the younger with the big."

Zheng Ping put down the document in his hand, shook his fan and smiled: "Ah Liang is older than you, so he is destined to bully the younger with the big; however, the two bowls of water are not equal, and you, Yi, will inevitably have resentment."

"Well, from tomorrow onwards, you and A Liang will go to Lieutenant General Yu's barracks for training."

Lu Yi's small face suddenly turned pale: "Brother Xianmou, it was just a joke."

Zheng Ping smiled and said: "It's okay, soldiers are tricky. If you can't even know how to joke, you are not worthy of learning the art of war. This is why I didn't let you go to the military camp before. Now that you have learned how to joke, it means that you have already started. It's time to go to the barracks for real training."

Lu Yi froze for a moment.

Zheng Ping ignored Lu Yi who was standing still, and looked at Zhuge Liang again: "I'm in a hurry to find me, what's the matter?"

Zhuge Liang restrained his expression slightly: "A young man came to the school, he is Liu Ye from Chengde in Huainan, who was once asserted by Xu Shao as a 'talent of the world'. Ah Yi competed with him in the art of war and lost three games in a row."

Zheng Ping's eyes moved: "Huainan Liu Ye, this is an unexpected harvest, but the Huainan Liu family is a rich family, Liu Ye came to Qingzhou alone, there must be other reasons."

"Let's find out Liu Ye's purpose for coming to Qingzhou first. Whether you can get information about Huainan from Liu Ye depends on your ability."

Zhuge Liang was confident and calm: "Brother Xianmou, don't worry, Liang will definitely live up to his trust."

Just talking.

The attendant hurriedly came to report: "Don't drive, the envoy asks you to go to the palace to discuss matters immediately."

Zheng Ping nodded and got up in a calm manner: "A Liang, A Yi, you go back to school first."

After giving the order, Zheng Ping went straight to the mansion.

In the mansion hall, apart from Liu Bei, there is also Mi Zhu.

"Brother Zizhong, when did you come to Linzi City?" Zheng Ping narrowed his eyes and looked at Mi Zhu.

At this time, Mi Zhu was dusty and exhausted, and he looked like he had galloped on a horse.

Mi Zhu's breath was a little unsteady: "Tao Shijun and Cao Cao are fighting!"

Zheng Ping's eyes froze: "Tell me in detail."

Mi Zhu panted slightly: "Ten days ago, Cao Cao sent Pei Chancellor Yuan Yi to ask for Xiaopei and other cities. Naturally, Tao Shijun was unwilling to give it to Yuan Yi's envoy and said 'unless it is in exchange for Shouchun'."

"Tao Shijun was worried that Cao Cao would come to rob Xiaopei, so he sent Xu Dan to command two thousand Danyang troops to garrison Xiaopei."

"Five days ago, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren and Cao Hong to attack Xiaopei. Xu Dan went out of the city to fight, but was beheaded by Cao Hong, and Xiaopei was also captured by Cao Cao."

"Tao Shijun was furious. Regardless of everyone's advice, he personally led an army to snatch Xiaopei."

Zheng Ping couldn't help sneering: "Tao Gongzu is asking for his own death. It is unjust to take Xiaopei forcibly. Cao Cao is the first to be polite, but Tao Gongzu is deliberately provocative."

"Then Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu in Mengcheng and expelled Yuan Shu's forces from Yuzhou. The military power is at its peak, and it is also a time when he is full of ambition."

"It's just this time to provoke Cao Cao."

Mi Zhu also said: "I think the same way. If Tao Shijun loses to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao takes the opportunity to march into Xuzhou, how can Xuzhou resist? So hurry up and look for Liu Shijun."

Liu Bei condensedly said: "Qingxu has the meaning of forming an alliance. If Mr. Tao loses to Cao Cao, Qingzhou has to send troops to rescue him."

"It's just that Tao Shijun made a mistake first. If Qingzhou doesn't know right from wrong, it's inevitable that it will come to fruition."

Zheng Ping shook his feather fan lightly: "Sending troops to Xuzhou may not necessarily be to save Tao Gongzu."

"There are still [-] Qingzhou villagers farming in the East China Sea. How can the personal grievances between Cao Cao and Tao Gongzu affect the Qingzhou villagers?"

Liu Bei understood: "The world knows that I, Liu Xuande, rescued 50 villagers in Qingzhou righteously, and the villagers in the East China Sea were suffering. How can I not save Liu Xuande? Who is more appropriate to let the troops go to Xuzhou?"

Killing intent flashed in Zheng Ping's eyes: "Let Yun Chang go to the East China Sea first, and Yi De lead the elite camp to take advantage of Taishan County's garrison in Nancheng to look at Xiao Pei."

"If Cao Cao continues to march into Xuzhou after defeating Tao Gongzu, he will order Yide to take Xiaopei directly and cut Cao Cao's way back."

"Xuzhou is not a place where Cao Cao can come whenever he wants!"
