This is wrong... This script is super wrong.

On the way to Wollongong, Zhang Xi muttered to himself all the way.

He didn't understand, really didn't understand, in the legendary "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage", why did Liu Bei lead Xu Shu and himself instead of Guan and Zhang? !

Now Zhang Xi is riding a horse, following behind his lord Liu Bei and Xu Shu on the way to Wollongong.

...What on earth did Liu Bei think that he didn't bring his second and third brothers with him when he visited Mr. Wolong? !

In fact, Liu Bei didn't plan to bring anyone with him. He only planned to come with Xu Shu.

Wollongong is in the northwest of Xiangyang. It is already within Liu Biao's actual control, and there will not be any great danger.

I brought Xu Shu with me purely because Xu Shu and Mr. Wolong are friends, and they met so that they could introduce each other.

As for Zhang Xi, Xu Shu brought him along purely on his own initiative.

First of all, Xu Shu also wanted Zhang Xi to meet Zhuge Liang. He thought that Zhang Xi's abilities in all aspects were pretty good, but his overall view of the overall situation was a bit poor. It would be good for Zhang Xi to meet Kong Ming and talk more. .

Secondly... Zhang Xi has a lot of weird knowledge, sometimes even Xu Shu can't understand it all. If Kong Ming, a sinister man, helps to formulate and analyze the words, it is impossible to say that he can still do it. Learn more.

Therefore, today Xu Shu brought his lord here to ask for talents, and he brought Zhang Xi to introduce him to his friends.

Don't delay either.

The three of them spent a few days on the road, chatting and rushing, but they arrived in Wollongong smoothly.

The previous plot was very familiar to Zhang Xi. The people sang and the boy opened the door and Liu Bei introduced himself. Everything was exactly the same as described in the novel.

But the next turn caught Zhang Xi off guard.

Liu Bei introduced himself to his family and gave a long list of his official name. The boy who opened the door looked embarrassed and couldn't remember what he said, so Liu Bei had to say, "You only said Liu Bei was visiting."

Then Zhang Xi waited, waiting for the boy to say something like "My husband went out this morning" or "It doesn't count the day, it can be as short as two or three days, as long as half a month."

Looking at the thatched cottage, it’s hard to say whether Zhuge Liang has been seen in history, but in the novel Liu Bei didn’t even touch his shadow.

"In that case, General, please take a break while I come in to report."

Uh-huh? !

what's going on? ! Isn’t this script wrong? Hey!

Zhuge Liang, how can you be at home...how can you be at home? !

How much points would it cost if you were there for the first visit? !

Not long after the boy entered the door, he saw him leading a young man eight feet tall, with a face like a crown jade, wearing a silk scarf on his head, and a crane cloak.

Well, at this time, Zhang Xi's heart tightened and he no longer had the desire to complain, because he saw Zhuge Liang himself.

I have to say, our prime minister is really handsome... It would be even more perfect if he wore a crown of heaven and a goose feather fan in his hand.

When Liu Bei saw the visitor, he immediately knelt down and said, "A late man in the Han Dynasty and a foolish man in Zhuo County. I have heard your name for a long time, and my ears are like thunder."

Kong Ming also bowed and said: "The Nanyang barbarians are lazy by nature. They are so embarrassed that the general arrived in vain."

After saying that, the two people showed humility to each other and entered the main hall together.

Xu Shu smiled and looked at Zhang Xi. Zhang Xi also smiled, looked at Xu Shu, and the two of them followed.

Xu Shu was worried that Zhang Xi would have objections if Zhuge Liang ignored Zhang Xi just now.

But Xu Shu really thought too much.

Any modern person, if they really saw Zhuge Kongming, would not care about these trivial things.

Come on, this is Zhuge Kongming, the most famous Prime Minister throughout the ages. His "Execution of the Master" was the only article that Zhang Xi had no objection to when he recited the full text.

Just one glance from Kong Ming to Zhang Xi would make Zhang Xi happy for a long time.

Anyway, it was impossible for Xu Shu to understand Zhang Xi's current excitement, but he was relieved to see that Zhang Xi had no dissatisfaction.

In the main hall, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sat down respectively as guest and host, and then the boy offered tea. After some etiquette, Zhuge Liang took the initiative to ask about Liu Bei's purpose.

Liu Bei also spoke bluntly, saying, "The Han Dynasty is in decline, traitors steal their lives, and they are prepared beyond their capabilities. They want to do great justice to the world, but their wisdom and skills are shallow, and they have achieved nothing. It is really a great blessing that you can save them from their misfortune by overcoming their stupidity." !”

And Zhuge Liang was also surprised that Liu Bei was so direct when he first came up, so he had to smile, decline, and said, "General, with Yuan Zhi's help, why worry about big things happening?! Qie Liang is a plowman, how dare he talk about world affairs?"

Saying this, he nodded to Xu Shu to express hello.

Turning his head again, he saw Zhang Xi and greeted him with a smile.

At that moment, Zhang Xi was so happy that he almost lost his way... The Prime Minister smiled at me.

Liu Bei didn't care, and immediately recounted Xu Shu's description of Zhuge Liang, and then said, "This is recommended by Yuan Zhi. Bei trusts Yuan Zhi, and Yuan Zhi will not deceive Bei with big words. Sir, please keep this in mind for all the people in the world. In the Han Dynasty, kindness came to help."

Zhuge Liang heard this and quickly bowed down.

Liu Bei's hat is a bit too big, and Zhuge Liang can't help but worship him.

After all, Zhuge Liang was a man who cared about the people and the Han Dynasty. He couldn't refute Liu Bei's words.

Of course, I was still a little unhappy, so I secretly glanced at Xu Shu with resentment - you don't want to see me carefree, why do you have to drag me into the water? !

Xu Shu was embarrassed by the fuss and turned around pretending not to see it.

"Since the general is determined to help the Han Dynasty and cares about the people, why can't Liang not help?" Zhuge Liang stood up after paying homage and said.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei felt happy, and Zhang Xi was also stunned.

That's not right, Prime Minister, we have to look after you... You will go out as soon as you are invited. How will you write the "Departure List" in the future? !

"The late emperor did not regard his ministers as despicable, but he was arrogant and aggrieved himself. He looked at his ministers in a thatched cottage..." It doesn't sound good to say it out loud.

Zhuge Liang looked at the expressions of the three people, but continued, "It's just that Liang is indeed very talented and has little knowledge. He should not be praised by Yuan Zhi, and he dare not miss the general's important affairs. Please forgive me, general."

Liu Bei immediately turned pale, as if he were mourning for his heir.

At this time, Zhang Xi looked at Liu Bei's condition and said to himself: cry quickly, cry quickly, everything will be fine once you cry.

But Liu Bei didn't cry at all. Instead, he calmed down, stood up and said to Zhuge Liang with a smile, "That's the case, Bei doesn't force it. It's just that if Mr. changes his mind, Bei will rush to welcome him. He will never let him down."

Now Zhang Xi couldn't understand it.

Is this a romance about Liu Bei or a historical Liu Bei?

If you are Liu Bei in the novel, if you cry now, maybe Zhuge Liang will relent and leave with you.

But if you were Liu Bei in historical terms, you wouldn't be able to say such things... What if you promised that your emotions and anger would not be visible? !

Now that things have come to this, the visit should be over... After all, Zhuge Liang rejected Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also expressed his attitude of not forcing anything.

As for whether there will be two or three invitations in the future, Zhang Xi doesn't know.

But at this time, Xu Shu spoke.

"Kong Ming, don't be humble, for you will be blessed with your talents!" Xu Shu smiled and said to Zhuge Liang, "Today the Han Dynasty is in decline, the national traitors are in power, and the princes in the world do not care about the people of the Han Dynasty, but they are constantly arguing with each other. Today Liu Shijun spread his benevolence and righteousness to the world, and he was a wise leader of the world and looked up to by the people. However, due to a moment of wasted time, he was trapped in a new field. How could Kong Ming'an not help?!"

"Yuan Zhi, don't make fun of me." Zhuge Liang said, still smiling and shaking his head.

Xu Shu did not let this guy go, and continued, "Kong Ming, since you don't want to go out and work hard, you can't force happiness. However, Liu Shijun cares about the people and is determined to help the Han Dynasty and spread benevolence and righteousness to the world. Doesn't Kong Ming have no idea?" Do you have any words to tell me?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time, and then said, "In that case, Liang will try to speak. Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, heroes in the world have risen together..."

Good guy, Zhang Xi calls him a good guy.

After looking at the thatched cottage, Xu Shu made two random sentences, and Zhuge Liang directly showed the "Longzhong Dui"? !

The direction of this script is a bit outrageous.

Is it because of Xu Shu's words that provoked him or Zhuge Liang really relented and directly took out "Longzhong Dui" to point out the future direction of development for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was shocked after hearing this. He felt a sense of enlightenment and suddenly had a clear understanding of his future.

However, Liu Bei still had many doubts about the details of "Longzhong Dui" and had to ask Zhuge Liang for advice on the spot.

Next, there is a question and answer session between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Zhang Xi and Xu Shu also sat quietly and listened, listening to Zhuge Liang telling Liu Bei the strategic plan of "Longzhong Dui".

Indeed, as Zhang Xi thought, Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Dui" is just a general strategic direction, and the real method to realize this general strategic direction is still in Zhuge Liang's heart.

Zhuge Liang's plan includes how to build a good relationship with the aristocratic family, how to gain their trust, how to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, how to fight the threat of Cao Cao under what circumstances, ease the conflict with Sun Quan, and at the same time plot against Xichuan.

We couldn't finish talking about these things in just a few days, and Zhuge Liang obviously had no intention of keeping Liu Bei and the others overnight.

It was only in the afternoon, and Zhuge Liang invited the three people out of the thatched cottage on the pretext of something else... This made the three people who had heard a little bit of it feel very itchy.

But the three of them also knew that today was the limit.

Zhuge Liang even took out "Longzhong Dui", which in itself shows his recognition of Liu Bei.

"Longzhong Dui" is theoretically the most suitable for Liu Biao, the current leader of Jingzhou.

Whether it is to "occupy Han Miang in the north" or "enter into Western Shu", the prerequisite is that you must occupy Jingzhou... At the very least, you must occupy Nanjun and Xiangyang, the two important counties in Jingzhou.

But now the only one who can do this is Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

But Zhuge Liang did not dedicate "Longzhong Dui" to Liu Biao, but to Liu Bei. This in itself shows that Zhuge Liang felt that Liu Bei was more suitable to be the leader of Jingzhou than Liu Biao.

As for Zhuge Liang's unwillingness to come out to help... Xu Shu is not worried about this at all.

Of course Xu Shu knew Zhuge Liang and his temperament.

How can a person who "compares himself to wind and music" still feel a little arrogant in his heart? !

And you even brought out "Longzhong Pair" today. In the future, you will come again in the name of "not understanding its meaning". Aren't you afraid that this guy will not come out? !

As for "Longzhong Dui"... this thing is good or not. It is much more reliable than Zhang Xi and Xu Shu's attack on Jiangxia, but for Liu Bei, it also faces a problem of operability.

How to get Jingzhou? !
