food? Is it the people’s support?
Zhuge Liang was very reluctant to admit this, but what Liu Mang said did make sense.
The people of the Han Dynasty were caught in wars and had not enough to eat for years.
While the people of later generations are still coveting food and drink, the common people of the Han Dynasty are thinking about how to survive!
"Follow Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Zhang. At least they can have a full meal. Follow my father? At most they can drink some northwest wind!"
Liu Mang talked eloquently: "My dad doesn't even know what the world wants!"
"Sir, does he know about the dispute between the Modern Literature School and the Ancient Literature School of Han Dynasty?"
Zhuge Liang nodded. The Jinwen School was a school of thought dominated by aristocratic families headed by the Yuan family of Runan and the Yang family of Hongnong.
As for the ancient literature school, it seems to have something to do with Liu Bei, and the nominal teacher Lu Zhi is one of them.
"I didn't expect that Young Master would even study such things!"
"I understand! Sir, you are so ridiculous! Let's get back to business and talk about how outrageous my father is!"
You call throwing dirty water on your father a serious matter?
Liu Bei was furious. He wanted to see what else this traitor had to say!
"I dare to ask, sir, is your school of modern literature and the school of ancient literature fighting for the sake of the sage's learning? Is it to fight for orthodoxy and distinguish pseudo-learning?"
As a great scholar, Zhuge Liang wanted to nod, but he knew better than anyone else what the two sects were doing!
"Be an official! Learn the words of saints and become a lackey of a noble family, all for the sake of becoming an official!"
"Cao Cao has a puppet emperor in his hands. He can appoint anyone he wants to be an official. This is an important reason why he can gather talents. This is harmony!"
"What can my father give you? Eat on the same table and sleep on the same bed? It means that my second and third uncles are young and ignorant, so they are deceived!"
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Fortunately, there was no difference between the two sworn brothers.
My brother Taoyuan and his three brothers are sworn brothers. How can you, a rebellious son, be able to instigate this?
"Brother, Chitu's fodder needs to be replaced with better ones!"
"Brother, I want to drink!"
"It's all up to you! Don't listen to that traitor's nonsense!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and in his heart he agreed with what Liu Mang said.
"Reviving the Han Dynasty was not always smooth sailing!"
"As the young master said, Cao Cao is called a Han official, but he is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty! He held the emperor hostage and ordered the princes to treat the emperor as nothing!"
"Sun Quan in Jiangdong has been entrenched for a long time, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou is weak and incompetent! The only one who can revive the Han Dynasty is my lord!"
"As for the food and grass matter, Liang will find a way! Make the new wild food and grass sufficient!"
Liu Mang nodded, he still quite recognized Zhuge Liang's ability.
Otherwise, Bowangpo would not have made his debut, and Xiahou Dun would have been burned into Xiahou.
"Sir, come on, work hard, I'm optimistic about you! Once I have enough food, I can kill Cao Cao directly!"
Before Zhuge Liang could speak, he heard Liu Bei snorting coldly from outside the door: "If I have enough troops and food, my father can raise an army to attack Cao Cao. Do I still need you?"
well! The Lord couldn't hold it back after all!
Zhuge Liang sighed secretly in his heart.
"Mang'er! If eldest brother can gather 50,000 elite soldiers, Guan will dare to fight the generals of Cao's camp!"
Guan Yu stood proudly, as if everyone in Cao's camp were idiots!
"Second uncle, nephew, I believe you have this ability, mainly because I don't believe my father!"
Liu Mang's words made Liu Bei burst into tears. What does it mean to not believe in your father?
What about the trust between father and son?
"A man who eavesdropped on his son's class could gather fifty thousand elite soldiers?"
"As a father, I care about your studies!"
"Did you eavesdrop?"
"Can the matter between father and son be called eavesdropping?"
"Then you still eavesdropped!"
Seeing the deep love between father and son, Zhuge Liang was greatly inspired.
A loving father and a filial son should start from childhood!
Otherwise, when you reach the age of the young master, you will no longer be able to change!
"Treason!"
"Eavesdrop!"
"Treason!"
"Eavesdrop!"
While the father and son were arguing, they saw Chen coming to report.
"My lord, Liu Biao's envoy Yi Ji has come to ask for an audience!"
"Let him in!"
Liu Bei was angry and his words were not as polite as before.
Yi Ji and Liu Bei had always been on good terms, and later he became a famous diplomat in the Shu Han Dynasty.
"Meet the Emperor!"
"Mr. Yiji, please take a seat quickly!"
"Is this your honourable master?"
"Yes, yes, it's Quanzi!"
"Uncle the emperor is humble, a tiger father has no dog sons!"
Hearing that the two were exchanging business blows, Liu Mang had no interest, so he hid behind Zhuge Liang and lay down, letting the wind blow from east to west and north and south!
"Liu Jingzhou sent me here to invite the emperor's uncle to go to Xiangyang to enjoy the moon in two days."
"Liu Jingzhou asked, this is the intention of reunion. I hope the lord will take the young master with him."
"Master Qi and Master Cong will also go there, so the next generation can get close to each other!"
Liu Bei nodded and agreed happily: "This is a good thing! I hope Mr. Yiji will report back to my brother and tell Xuande that he will definitely go!"
Before leaving, Yi Ji whispered: "Uncle Emperor, Liu Jingzhou's Cai family and Kuai family are definitely not good people. You must be careful!"
Liu Bei thanked him again, and then called Zhuge Liang to discuss with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others.
"Brother, Cai Mao has targeted you many times before. It would be better for us not to go."
Guan Yu snorted coldly: "If the eldest brother insists on going, take Guan with him! Then Cai Mao is just a traitor!"
Zhang Fei saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. He cupped his hands and said, "Second brother, the same goes for me!"
Liu Bei waved his hand and explained: "Second brother, third brother! It's thanks to Liu Jingsheng that my brother is able to hide in the new country! How can we disrespect others?"
"Then Cai Mao is Jing Sheng's brother-in-law. If you kill him, wouldn't it mean that we and Jing Sheng are at odds with each other? This time we should let Zi Long go with my brother!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said, "Master, don't forget to take the young master with you this time!"
"With the talent of the young master, he will definitely not bring shame to the lord! With the young master in literature and the dragon in martial arts, he will definitely be able to protect the lord."
Zhang Fei looked at Mr. Wuchong and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you go? Now I think of sending my eldest nephew!"
Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Liang's wife is related to the Cai family. Liang didn't go just to avoid suspicion."
snort!
Zhang Fei was about to attack again, but he heard Liu Mang say: "Third uncle, sir, you are so loyal to your father! I have analyzed my father so clearly, and he is not willing to go back to the mountains and forests, which shows his loyalty!"
When you think about it, it does make some sense!
"My nephew has said so, so I will believe you once!"
"Zilong, the safety of my eldest brother and nephew will be left to you!"
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Yide, with Zhao Yun here, we will definitely protect our lord, father and son!"
There is still some distance to go to Xiangyang.
Zhao Yun personally led 300 personal guards to escort Liu Bei and his son, along with Guan Yu's eldest son Guan Ping.
Guan Ping is already twenty-two years old and is older than Liu Mang. Unlike Liu Mang, he respects his biological father very much.
Under Guan Yu's guidance, Guan Ping's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds.
"Sir, you frown slightly, but are you worried about this trip to Xiangyang?"
"Brother Tanzhi is worrying too much. I really want to know which street in Xiangyang has the most beauties!"
Guan Ping: "..."
