In the living room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao He Zhi personally greeted Yang Qing from outside the mansion and sat down. After serving tea, he accompanied him for a while and talked for a while. When he saw that the time was almost up, he stood up and said with a smile: "Sir, please be here. Later, I will invite the Prime Minister to come over."
Yang Qing stood up and saluted back: "Cao Chu, please." He smiled in his heart and finally could breathe. This He Cao Chu was quite talkative. He could hardly stand the chatter just now. No wonder this A person can serve as the official in charge of reporting matters.
After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, although I didn't enter any of the Cao's houses along the way, I just looked around and saw that all the Cao Cao's subordinates in the Mansion were busy, and I didn't see anyone laughing and playing, which shows that the Prime Minister's Mansion is really in season at this time. The core of the Han Dynasty. According to He Zhi's introduction, although Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has always governed government affairs according to the law, since it is the early days of the founding of the government, the records of all the Cao Cao officials in the Prime Minister's Palace are not fully prepared at this time. Therefore, Zhuge Liang has been recruiting virtuous people since the founding of the government. Enrich the prime minister's house.
After Yang Qing waited for Ma Su to leave in the morning, he wanted to prepare well, but after thinking about it, he didn't know where to start, so he simply stopped doing it deliberately and just dealt with it with his heart. So he went back to the bed to catch up on his sleep for a while. After waking up, he took a shower and changed clothes to adjust his condition to the best. Therefore, Yang Qing was not nervous when he was sitting at the desk. However, although his face was expressionless and unimpressed, he was still very excited in his heart. He was finally going to see this man who could be called "the unparalleled scholar since the Han Dynasty." The eternal and clear appearance of "the first person in three generations" cannot be taken lightly.
"Yang Langjun, the prime minister is here."
Just when Yang Qing closed his eyes and was concentrating, He Zhi shouted from outside the door. As soon as he got up, He Zhi flashed in. Before he could stand completely, a middle-aged man walked in. Yang Qing looked intently and saw that this man was eight feet long, handsome in appearance, about forty years old, wearing a white straight-sleeved dark coat, a black crane cloak, a green silk scarf on his head, and his right hand waved a feather fan in a fluttering way. It's like a fairy.
Isn't the person coming, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty today, or someone else? Yang Qing suppressed his excitement and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Yang Qing, a young man from the mountains and fields, pays homage to the Prime Minister."
"My little friend, there is no need to be polite." Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "My little friend has made a big name in Chengdu recently. Many people have told me about my little friend's deeds. I have long wanted to meet you, but I am busy with state affairs. I didn’t get a chance, but I’m lucky to have some free time today, so I specially asked my friend to come over for a while.”
Yang Qingqian said: "The Qing Dynasty is only a small name, not worth mentioning. The prime minister has talents in the world and unpredictable opportunities. His reputation is spread all over the world, and his kindness is spread throughout the sea. I have admired him for a long time, but I have no chance to visit him. Today I can see his face. , full of comfort for life!"
"I am no more outstanding than a villager in Longzhong. The late emperor valued my prudence, so he entrusted me with this important task. I am too flattering, little friend."
Zhuge Liang could see that what Yang Qing said was not flattery. He really admired him. He was deeply moved. He pointed his feather fan and said, "Mingzhi, please sit down." The two sat opposite each other, and Zhuge Liang said to him again. He Zhi said: "Ziyuan went to do other things on his own, so there is no need to stay here with me."
After He Zhi left, Zhuge Liang said nothing and only looked at Yang Qing with his discerning eyes. Yang Qing couldn't figure out and could only look at him. When they looked at each other, Zhuge Liang saw that Yang Qing's eyes were firm and clear, and he had made a judgment in his heart. Yang Qing also saw that there was a vague expectation in Zhuge Liang's eyes, and he also had some understanding in his heart. Both of them are smart people, and they don't bother to beat around the bush. After a while, Zhuge Liang put down his waving feather fan and asked directly: "I heard that Mingzhi was taught by a great sage and has learned a lot. I don't know what I can teach you today." ?”
Yang Qing replied seriously: "May I ask the Prime Minister what you want to ask?"
"Liang wanted to eliminate the traitors, revive the Han Dynasty, return the old capital, and fulfill the late emperor's legacy. I don't know if there is a clever plan."
Yang Qing thought to himself, and sure enough, he had guessed that Zhuge Liang would directly ask him his opinion on how to revive the Han Dynasty. This question was both a test and a request for advice. There is no need to mention taking exams, but seeking advice is a reflection of Zhuge Liang's noble character. As the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, he is responsible for the important task of reviving the Han Dynasty. Although he has a high position and great wisdom, as long as others can fill in the gaps and help, even if the person he asks is a later generation, he is willing to be modest. Please tell me, this is the responsibility and responsibility of a prime minister.
Yang Qing took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said: "Although the world is divided into three parts today, the pseudo-Wei occupies 67/10, Sun Wu occupies 23/10, and we, the Han, only have one land in Yizhou, and what's more, at present Nanzhong rebelled, and the land of Yizhou was not yet intact. After the two major defeats in Jingzhou and Yiling, the national power was even more severely damaged, so this was truly a critical period for survival. Cao Wei had gone through two generations and had won the hearts of the gentry. There may not be many people who care about the Han Dynasty. The land is vast and the population is large. Although Cao Pi is not as good as his father, he can still be called a wise ruler. He is also assisted by many smart people in the north, so Cao Wei cannot be eliminated."
Yang Qing paused and then said: "And Soochow has not only experienced three generations, Sun Quan has been in power for more than 20 years. Under his scheming, Soochow has expanded from the six counties of Jiangdong to Yang, Jing, In the land of the Three Prefectures, the Jiangdong scholars have completely surrendered to him. Although he is not good at leading troops, he is very good at political affairs and has many famous generals under his command. Therefore, whenever others attack with large armies, they can successfully defend their foundation, such as The two battles of Chibi and Yiling, so Soochow should not rush into it. What's more, Cao Wei is so powerful that Shu and Wu can only barely withstand the joint fight with Soochow, so at this time, they can only make peace with Soochow."
"As Mingzhi said, Wei and Wu are so powerful. How should we, the Han Dynasty, deal with it? Can we only be trapped in Shu?" Zhuge Liang asked softly with a smile.
"No, Qing thought that as long as we re-establish an alliance with Soochow, our Han Dynasty may not have no hope of revival." Yang Qing also said with a smile: "After re-establishing an alliance with Soochow, we can concentrate on dealing with the enemy Cao Wei. Although Cao Wei There are many prefectures and counties, but the bigger the so-called stalls, the more dangers they face. The Xianbei barbarians in the north of Cao Wei are intruding, the Gongsun family in Liaodong is also a member of the first rat and the two ends, and the Qiang tribes in the west also have rebellions from time to time. These three parties Although it is not a serious danger to Cao Wei, if our Han Dynasty and Soochow Wu launch a large-scale attack from the south, even if his family has a great cause, it will inevitably be overwhelmed, exhausted, and leaked, and then the opportunity for recovery will come. "
"Therefore, as long as we, the Han Dynasty, unite with Sun Wu in the east, tie up with the Qiang in the west, and Nanping in the south, we will continue to cultivate political theory, accumulate grain, recruit talents, teach military exercises, and wait for the opportunity to fight, and send a general to lead the partial army. The main force is heading towards Guanzhong, and the prime minister will lead the main force to Longyou. Once Long is successfully defeated, the west of Longshan will no longer be owned by Cao Wei. In this way, the combined forces of Yizhou, Longxi, Liangzhou, and the Western Regions can regain Guanzhong and strengthen Qin. The situation will come true. In this way, I, the Han Dynasty, will support the favorable geographical situation and observe the situation of the world from a high position. If the situation is strong, I will destroy Cao Wei first and then Sun Wu. If the situation is small, I will destroy Cao Wei together with Sun Wu and divide the world equally, and then I will try to kill Sun Wu. , it is true that the Han Dynasty can prosper three times."
After Yang Qing finished speaking, he stood up, gave a salute, and said with a smile: "This is a simple and foolish opinion. I hope the Prime Minister will not make fun of it." Zhuge Liang pressed his left hand to signal him to sit down, and then smiled and said: "If what Mingzhi said is shallow, In my humble opinion, what other clever strategies can other people come up with?”
After listening to what Yang Qing said, Zhuge Liang was greatly shocked. He had his own plan for reviving the Han Dynasty, but Yang Qing's plan was very similar to his own ideas, and was richer, longer-term, and broader. You must know that at this time, he was not sure whether to take Longyou or Guanzhong first in the future Northern Expedition. Although he preferred Longyou, Yang Qing even proposed a strategy for sending troops in the Northern Expedition, which really surprised him.
It was a clever plan to attack in the east and attack in the west. Zhuge Liang secretly praised him. This article has a thorough analysis and far-reaching layout, which has inspired him a lot. This son has a unique vision and an excellent strategy. In time, he can be a talented person for the king.
Yang Qing knew in his heart that what he said was based on the wisdom of later generations and was nothing remarkable, so he quickly said humbly: "What the Prime Minister said is clear. There are so many smart people in the world, and Qing is just trying his words." That’s all.”
Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled. Although this boy has great talent at a young age, he still knows how to be humble. I really don’t know who can teach such a talented person. His words inspired me greatly. This person’s talent is not there. Under childhood.
