    Xinye, a small city in the north of Jingzhou, connects Wancheng to the north, Fancheng to the south, and leads to Xiangyang. It is Jingzhou's first line of defense against the Central Plains. Since Liu Bei stationed in Xinye, this small town has regained its vitality.  "Brother, this year's taxes have increased by another 20%, and the grain harvest is also 10% more than last year." Guan Yu happily reported to Liu Bei with the form he had just submitted.  For many years, Liu Bei did not have a base of his own, but in the past few years in Xinye, the taxes and grain harvest here have increased year by year, and Liu Bei's army finally has a decent territory of his own.  "Yes!" Liu Bei nodded, his brows still furrowed. No matter how powerful Xinye is, it may not be a place of long-lasting peace, or even Jiangxia, which is not the place Liu Bei expected. The situation in Jingchu is complicated now, with Sun Quan and Cao Cao in the east.  There is Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Bei is just a pawn of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. If this situation is not changed, Liu Bei will soon be annexed by the princes of the world.  "Brother, you seem to?" "Second brother, eldest brother is a little tired today, so I will leave these trivial matters to you. Third brother and Zilong are training new soldiers, and the supervision of the new weapons is still needed.  Second brother, please worry." Liu Bei waved his hand, indicating that Guan Yu could retreat.  "Yes, brother!" Guan Yu cupped his hands and retreated.  "I have seen my lord!" As soon as Guan Yu left, Jian Yong and Mi Zhu came to Liu Bei's study.  "It turns out it's Xianhe and Zizhong, sit down!" "Thank you, Lord!" "Xianhe, what are the results of your investigation of Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou?" Some time ago, Sima Hui recommended a man to Liu E.  The great talent was named Zhuge Liang and given the courtesy name Kongming.  He lives in a village in Nanyang, not far from Xinye.  "Reporting to my lord, Zhuge Liang was originally from Langya, Xuzhou. His father served as the governor of Taishan County in his early years. His uncle Zhuge Xuan was originally the governor of Yuzhang. After his death, Zhuge Liang and his younger brother Zhuge Jun lived in Nanyang. His elder brother Zhuge Jin was Sun Quan's son.  One joins the army." Jian Yong reported the information he obtained to Liu Bei one by one.  "My Lord, Zhuge Liang married the daughter of Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Jingzhou, and is now the literary scholar of Young Master Liu Qi." Mi Zhu added that Zhuge Liang relied on the marriage.  I also found a job in Jingzhou.  "Turns out he's just a scribe!" Liu Bei's originally hopeful eyes suddenly turned dim. A scribe is just an ordinary teacher who teaches aristocratic princes how to read and make strategies. As long as they are scribes with some talent, they can serve as such. Most of these people  He is a boastful person.  "My lord, there is no need to be disappointed. Since Mr. Sima recommended the person to my lord, he must be outstanding. My lord, is he?" Jian Yong saw Liu Bei's disappointed expression and quickly offered words of comfort.  , Sima Hui is a famous person today, so he will definitely not speak nonsense.  "Xianhe, if he is really talented, he would have been recruited by Liu Jingsheng long ago. Why have you and I not heard of Zhuge Liang in Xinye for several years?" Liu Bei asked Jian Yong, if Zhuge Liang was a great talent, he would have been  If you have already heard about it among the princes, why should you still be a farmer in a small village in Jingzhou?  When Jian Yong heard this, he also felt that what Liu Bei said was reasonable. Liu Biao would not let go of real talents. How could someone who was a county guard in troubled times not value talents?  Although Sima Wei is a wise man, he is also a representative of a noble family. He usually engages in interpersonal relationships, and it is possible to recommend his juniors. How can Liu Bei use someone who is not used by Liu Biao?  Doesn¡¯t this mean Liu Bei is inferior to Liu Biao?  "My lord. What about Sima Gong?" Although Liu Bei didn't want to use Zhuge Liang, he was always recommended by Sima Hui, so he still had to give it to him for the sake of face.  Mi Zhu is a businessman, and it is his responsibility to build good relationships.  "Zizhong. I personally wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang. If he wants to be a minor official, he can still come to Xinye." Liu Bei did not take Zhuge Liang seriously at all. A man who had never heard of him actually  Dare to compare yourself to Guan Zhongleyi in Nanyang! "No!  "Seeing that Liu Bei had made up his mind, the two of them bowed their hands and retreated. Liu Bei didn't like to be disturbed when he was thinking. Soon, in a hut in a small village in Nanyang, there was a copy of General Zuo's seal printed on it.  The document was placed on the table in the main hall of the hut. Zhuge Liang smiled, took a sip of tea, and poured another cup for the scribe next to him. "Kong Ming, it seems that Liu Bei will not like you, even with the recommendation of the master.  You can only obtain the official position of a minor official.  "Sitting next to Zhuge Liang was an ugly scribe. This man was the nephew of Pang Degong. His name was Pang Tong, and his courtesy name was Shiyuan. He was a talented person in Jingchu. "I had expected this. Liu Bei is from the north.  Since ancient times, there have been more talented people from the north than from the south. There are many children from aristocratic families in the north. It is understandable that Liu Bei does not believe in Liang's talent. Liang will definitely become an important counselor under Liu Bei in the future!  "Zhuge Liang ignored Pang Tong's ridicule, but confidently took outWith a blank bamboo slip, I took out the carving knife and started carving words.  "Kong Ming, you" Seeing that Zhuge Liang ignored him, Pang Tong asked for trouble, drank a cup of tea, turned around and left.  "Shi Yuan, are you going to join Sun Quan?" Zhuge Liang put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Pang Yi.  "Yes, Sun Quan has been recruiting talented people in the Chaisang area recently, and many people from poor families have been re-employed. I am going to join Sun Quan and build a great career." "Shi Yuan, you'd better come with me to join Liu Bei, Sun Quan will definitely  I won¡¯t reuse you, Sun Quan is such a handsome man, your appearance?" After saying that, Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing.  "Kong Ming!" Upon hearing this, Pang Tongyi felt angry and walked away.  One month later, in the backyard of the Xinye Prefecture in Jingzhou.  "Come here, tell Zizhong and Xianhe to come to the house quickly." Liu Bei took a bamboo slip, rushed out of the study, and sent an order to the guards next to him.  "My lord?" The guard was frightened by Liu Bei's arrogance. How could the usually polite lord be so rude?  "Go quickly!" Liu Bei glared at the guard.  "No!" After receiving the order, the guard quickly ran out of the prefect's mansion.  In Liu Bei's hands, it was Zhuge Liang's reply to Liu Bei. It was just a few simple sentences, but it had already hit Liu Bei's heart.  Especially the following sentence made Liu Bei extremely excited.  "The Ming Gong is as talented as the Prime Minister and the Marquis of Wu, but how can a tree with tall roots and thick roots have no place to stand? There are only two points, one is no thick soil, and the other is no moist spring!" Zhuge Liang's words are a metaphor.  Zhuge Liang believes that Liu Bei's talents are not inferior to those of Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Why are both Cao Cao and Sun Quan able to become overlords, but Liu Bei succumbs to the small town of Xinye? The most important reason is that although Liu Bei is a big tree, he does not have thick soil.  As the foundation, they were forced to flee everywhere.  Zhuge Liang's words just illustrate the reason why Liu Bei is talented but cannot dominate.  Liu Bei is not like Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Both of them have a legacy built by their fathers. They are local powerful men with deep foundations. Even if they fail for a while, they can still rely on their accumulated strength to regroup.  Liu Bei is from a truly poor family, and the only thing he can use is the false name of emperor uncle, and this false name has no practical effect, it is just a name.  Both Cao Cao and Sun Quan have rich legacies left by their ancestors, and they have counselors who can communicate with their souls.  Liu Bei built his kingdom with swords and swords, and his accumulated strength is not rich at all. Although he has many counselors, but there is no one who is close to him, he is like a big tree without sweet springs, how can it have lush branches and leaves!  "If Duke Ming wants soil and sweet springs, he can go to the small village of Nanyang thatched cottage!" Liu Bei went through many years of expeditions from north to south, and after a period of stability in Xinye, he gradually realized some tricks, but Zhuge Liang directly pointed out that Liu Bei  The reason for the failure was that none of Liu Bei's counselors could do this kind of analysis. Liu Bei just lacked someone who could help with analysis. With Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei would have a counselor with whom he could talk.  "See my lord!" Jian Yong and Mi Zhu soon arrived at the prefect's mansion.  "Xianhe, Zizhong, take a look!" Liu Bei handed Zhuge Liang's reply to Jian Yong and Mi Zhu.  "My lord, it seems that Zhuge Liang is really a great talent." After reading Zhuge Liang's reply, Jian Yong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was the counselor who had followed Liu Bei for the longest time. However, Liu Bei failed many times, and Jian Yong had many discussions with Liu Bei.  times, and finally came to the conclusion that Liu Bei's foundation was unstable.  But Jian Yong ignored another problem, which was that Liu Bei lacked a counselor with strategic vision and a talented person who could communicate with his master.  This point is very important. The general counselors in the Han Dynasty all had special skills, including military art, strategizing, and diplomacy. However, counselors with strategic vision are hard to come by. First, counselors are required to have profound knowledge.  Secondly, he has a strong analytical vision.  As long as such a counselor can be obtained, a wise master may fly into the sky and become a dragon, just like Liu Bang meets Xiao He, or Ying Zheng meets Li Si.  "Yes, this time the general made a mistake. The general decided to send two of you to Nanyang to visit Zhuge Liang and ask him to help." Although Liu Bei admired Zhuge Liang's talents, Zhuge Liang was just a villager, and Liu Bei's left general  Status still cannot be arbitrarily reduced from respect to dignity.  "Yes, my lord!" Jian Yong and Mi Zhu looked at each other and fully understood what Liu Bei meant. They were recruiting Zhuge Liang.  Sending two of the most capable advisers can show Liu Bei's great sincerity.  The next day, Jian Yong and Mi Zhu brought generous gifts and came to a small village in Nanyang. After inquiring, they quickly found Zhuge Liang's residence, which was a large farm.  Zhuge Liang, who attached himself to the Huang family, still had no worries about food and clothing in Jingzhou.    There is a wooden sign hanging in front of the house: General Fei Zuo is missing!  "Zizhong?!" Jian Yong was stunned when he saw this wooden sign. He didn't expect that Zhuge Liang had quite a temper and actually wrote a sign like this. Except for General Zuo, a villager could be so presumptuous.  "Hmph! I want to see what Zhuge Kongming is capable of, how dare he be so presumptuous!" After Mi Zhu finished speaking, he pulled out his long sword and split the wooden sign in half.  "Zizhong, be careful!" Mi Zhu had just split the wooden sign in half when four hidden arrows suddenly flew out from the manor and shot directly at Mi Zhu.  PS: Rabbit has just come back, update one chapter first!  !
