Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2621 Yishan, what kind of mountain is it?

  Many things cannot be accomplished by only one person.

   Like moving mountains.

Even Yu Gong only exists in fables and legends. In reality, it is very remarkable for one person to be able to open a mountain road. Basically, it takes a lifetime of life. As for moving the entire mountain …

  And there are many mountains in Nanzhong.

  If you want to move these mountains, it is obviously impossible for Zhuge Liang alone.

  To move mountains, Zhuge Liang needed people, helpers, people who would go with him to move mountains.

  Or, let those "mountains" move by themselves.

  Zhuge Liang arrived at Nanzhong, met the big surnames, and then preached related matters, and sent out a message, "Want to move mountains, let's come together." 』

  At the same time, these big surnames in Nanzhong also knew that if they followed Zhuge Liang, they would have to work.

   Hard work, tiring work, and even life.

   So, is it worth it?

  Meng Huo was thinking about this question. He is not good at thinking, but he also understands that this matter has both benefits and difficulties. It is really difficult for him to grasp whether there are more benefits or more difficulties, so he found Cuan Li after the meeting.

   Judging people by appearance will suffer a lot. This is especially true when facing Cuan Li. If you think he is a barbarian, he may be rude and stupid, hey, he is actually a Han, shrewd and cunning, if you think he is a Han, well, he is like a barbarian, he only seeks profit and does not pay attention to etiquette.

The Cuan family and the Meng family have a good relationship with each other, so when Meng Huo found Cuan Li, Cuan Li didn't pretend to be polite or pretend to be stupid. He just invited Meng Huo to sit down for dinner while wrinkling Brows discuss.

  『This matter, I’m afraid we can’t just look at the superficial things...』 Cuan Li said slowly.

  Meng Huo took a sip of the syrup, "I think so too. 』

When it comes to food in Nanzhong, it seems that the tune of white poles is played, or various insect corpses, large and small ants, etc. However, in fact, if they can eat decent food, how many people will like those that look like it? Not serious about eating? Why do you think it tastes like crunchy chicken? You must know that it is not Mr. Pei who is really powerful, but the anti-camera master behind Mr. Pei.

  Nanzhong lacks salt.

  In order to allow the human body to take in normal electrolytes, Nanzhong people choose acid.

  Nanzhong is hot and humid. In order to eliminate dampness and detoxify, people in Nanzhong later became addicted to spicy food.

   Therefore, the eating habits of a place are not chosen randomly, just like the future direction of a family, nor can they be chosen randomly.

  Whether it is the Meng family, the Cuan family, or other surnames such as the Lu family, when they migrated from the Central Plains of China to Nanzhong, they basically bear the brand of a loser. They may think that they are the natives of Nanzhong and the local rulers, but in fact they are all losers in the early Chinese political struggle.

   It’s like the barbarians, but in fact, some of them are the same as the losers who fought for territory between Yan and Huang.

  These Nanzhong surnames, under surrender and death, chose the third way, fleeing.

   So, what now?

  『Academy is a good thing, but those scriptures are nothing to learn. The main thing is those techniques, those farming equipment, the method of digging mountains... 』Cuan Li said in a deep voice, "What can the scriptures do? We want our children to go there, mainly to learn skills...』

  『Yes, I thought so too. 』Meng Huo nodded, then grabbed a piece of dried meat and gnawed on it.

   Cuan Li's eyes lingered on Meng Huo for a moment, then he said nothing, and took a piece of dried meat and started to chew.

  Most dried meat in Nanzhong is smoked, not cured.

   Smoked with pine and cypress leaves, it tastes like pine and cypress...

  The relationship between the Cuan family and the Meng family is good, so Cuan Li also knows that Meng Huo has a bad habit, that is, when someone around him uses his brains for him, Meng Huo himself is not willing to use his brains.

   Just like before.

  So sometimes, when Meng Huo needs to use his brain, or when Meng Huo needs to express something, he must make it clear that if he makes a detour here, he will often kill himself.

   Cuanli chose to speak directly. After he ate a strip of meat, he patted the crumbs on his hands, "I said, what do you think?" 』

Meng Huo then stopped eating, patted the crumbs on his hands, and spread the stained grease on the table, "That Zhuge, um, it should be said that the hussars sent him, of course there are hussars." We don’t really have any choice right now…”

   Cuanli nodded and said, "Indeed, go on, go on. 』

   Unless it is a completely irreconcilable conflict of interests, most of the time, politics is not about life and death, but mutual compromise.

  In history, the rebellion in Nanzhong was mostly bewitched by Sun Quan. After all, when Sun Quan was about to stab Guan Yu's chrysanthemum, he also needed to consider a retreat. What if he didn't stab Guan Yu to death? What if Guan Yu is dead, but Liu Bei will report revenge? What if Lu Meng couldn't stop it? Then the Shu Han army marched eastward, and then Fang Nanzhong rebelled, which could somewhat allow some of the two sides to have conditions for relaxation.

   Well, yes, at that time Sun Quan valued Lu Meng, not Lu Xun.

  So, on the whole, whether it was in the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Three Kingdoms period, most people in Nanzhong did not treat it as a serious meal.

  "Unless, unless..." Meng Huo stroked his beard with a somewhat greasy hand, "Unless all the surnames in Nanzhong are united, they are eligible to negotiate some conditions with Huqi..."

  When Meng Huo said this, he and Cuan Li looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

   smiled wryly.

  『However, it seems that you can give it a try. 』

  『Try it? What if..."

  『Try it, if it doesn’t work, it won’t work, what if it works? 』

"Eh? So, try it? 』

  The two immediately started running to contact each other.

  …(〒︿〒)…

  On the other side, Zhuge Liang was smiling.

  『Engagement, you just tell the master’s strategy to the people of Nanzhong…』Fa Ping said aside, “Aren’t you afraid that these people will unite… I heard that some people have started to contact each other…”

Faping is Fazheng's younger brother, so he should be the son of Uncle Fazheng. He is slightly younger than Zhuge, and has not officially become an official. This time, Fazheng recommended him to serve as a secretary Chores, accompanying service, of course, the most important thing is to learn from Zhuge Liang.

  Zhuge Liang did not reject Fazheng's overtures.

  Historically, Fazheng and Zhuge Liang were not CPs, and there was no difference between one good and one evil, one black and one white. Fazheng and Zhuge became CPs in film and television, but it was driven by profit. After all, whoever chased the drama, those screenwriters would please whoever they liked, just like an information cocoon.

  Both of them are high emotional intelligence and pragmatic party, and they have slightly different ways of doing things.

  Fazheng must retaliate, his teeth are sharp and his mouth is sharp, and he hurts his colleagues, but he dare not make too much in front of Zhuge Liang. Those who were bullied by Fazheng ran to report to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang, who always claimed to enforce the law impartially, spoke for Fazheng.

  In general, Fazheng is not only to do things, but also to save face, and Zhuge Liang will take care of his face after finishing things. The two have very different behavior styles, but they can consciously avoid each other and live in peace. Liu Daer pulled one with his left hand and the other with his right, so happy that he couldn't close his legs.

  Think about it, if any one of them has Guan Yu's personality, it is estimated that they will be like fire and water, and the fight will be turned upside down...

  Of course, in history, Fazheng died early, and whether it will be the same as Li Yan in the future is unpredictable. However, after Zhuge Liang's defeat in Yiling, he sighed "Fa Xiaozhi is here", at least it shows that Zhuge Liang did not regard Fazheng as an enemy in many things. After all, Zhuge would not say "if Zhengfang is still there" of.

  So in history, Zhuge Liang regarded Fazheng as an important colleague who could even save a crisis situation.

  At the moment, there is no competition between Zhuge Liang and Fazheng.

   After all, the current world is much bigger than the historical Sichuan and Shu...

  The cake is big enough to eat, so naturally there will be no disputes. Unless it's the kind of brain-dead person who feels that even if he can't eat it, he won't allow others to eat it. Obviously, Zhuge Liang and Fazheng are not such people.

   Moreover, Zhuge Liang also felt that among these people in Nanzhong, although there are dull people, there are also smart people.

   At least not insane.

  The cooperation between various ethnic groups in South Africa and China proposed by Faping is not completely impossible.

   But first of all, there must be an indispensable prerequisite, that is, there must be a leader who is prestigious enough to coordinate and balance the conflicts of interest among various tribes and surnames...

   Or in other words, if Nanzhong wants to negotiate with Zhuge and Fei Qian behind Zhuge, the first thing is to form an alliance first and produce such a character.

"It's okay...you can do something for me..." Zhuge Liang picked up the pen, wrote something slowly, then put down the pen, gently blew on the ink that he had just finished writing, and handed it to Faping, "Please come to the banquet ...'

  『Mencius? ” Faping looked at the name on the invitation card, was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, “I am engaged, could it be that I want to…”

  Zhuge Liang smiled, waved his hands, "Go, take the flags of the chariots and horses." 』

   Faping bowed his head and saluted, "Understood! 』

  …(o▽)o…

  Meng Huo was dumbfounded when he received the invitation.

   Then when Meng Huo was holding the invitation and was still thinking about it, Cuan Li got the news, and he lived nearby, so he rushed over immediately, "I heard that you were invited by Zhuge Shang?" Why? 』

"what why? ’ Meng Huo’s eyes widened.

   Cuan Li frowned and looked at Meng Huo, but Meng Huo still opened his eyes wide.

   The two looked at each other for a moment.

   Cuanli found a seat and sat down, was silent for a while, waved his hands and said, "I mean, why did Zhuge Zong invite you?" 』

  『That’s right, you said why did Zhuge Eng invite me? 』Meng Huo was still staring at Cuan Li.

   Cuan Li took a breath, a little speechless.

   "Tell me," Meng Huo flipped through the invitation, as if some secret was hidden in the few words on the invitation, "I...go, or not? 』

   Cuan Li said in a deep voice: "If it's really according to me, you'd better not go." 』

  Meng Huo let out a sigh, and then said, "If Zhuge is engaged in it, then blame me for it?" 』

  『Just say you fell, split your legs, got sick, anyway, find a reason,』 Cuan Li stood up, 『Unless Zhuge is engaged and invites other people to join...otherwise...」

   Meng Huo saw Cuan Li walking out, so he asked again: "Well, if Zhuge Shang invites you, will you go?" 』

  Cuan Lippa paused, "If you are invited alone, don't go. Invited together, yes. 』

  Meng Huo was taken aback.

   Cuan Li left, and not long after, Lei Shilei, who got the news, came.

  The Lei family is not very powerful, and like the Cuan family, it has close ties with the Yi people. Leidong seems to be a good name, but he is relatively short, a head shorter than Meng Huo, so he found Meng Huo happily and asked about the invitation.

  『Didn’t Zhuge invite you? ’ Meng Huo looked at Leidong and asked.

  Lei Dong smiled, "I am a small family, Zhuge will not hire me if he wants to work...Brother Meng, what kind of opportunity do you want, remember to support the younger brother..."

"what chance? ’ Meng Huo asked.

"of course? Lei Dong laughed, and tried to put on a very friendly look, "This is a great opportunity...Brother Meng, you are a rich man, so you probably don't care too much about this... I'm just a little guy, hehe, this big guy missed something Come on, it's enough for us to eat for a while... Tsk tsk, Brother Meng is so lucky... Ah, Brother Meng has a visitor, so I will take my leave first, I will leave, Brother Meng, stay here, stay here...』

   In this way, basically people with other surnames came to pay a visit to Meng Huo, either to inquire about news, or to win relationships.

   Then he left, leaving Meng Huo in a state of unrest.

  Meng Huo wished he could tear off all the flowers around the house, and then check whether he would go to the banquet or not by petal by petal.

  If the time given by Zhuge Liang was tight, it would be difficult for Meng Huo to come into contact with the attitudes of other surnames in a short period of time, so he might just act based on Meng Huo's personal feelings and choose to attend the banquet or refuse.

   On the other hand, if Zhuge Liang gives too long, then Meng Huo can sue the Meng family, and then the family will give him an order...

   But now, the time is just right, no more and no less.

what to do?

  Meng Huo looked at the invitation in great pain.

   It's like the invitation is not to invite him to dinner, but to invite him to beheaded.

The relationship between the Meng family and the Cuan family is very good. This can be seen from the fact that Meng Huo can go to Cuan’s to eat at will, and the Cuan family can also come to Meng Huo’s place. The surname is Meng, and the Cuan family is still the surname Cuan.

  Meng Huo and Cuan Li may be friends, but Meng Huo is also a member of the Meng family.

  He realized that if he went to the banquet, he might be in a lot of trouble, but just like what Lei Dong said, he was also worried that if he didn't go, he would lose the "opportunity" to follow up with the Meng family.

  Can Meng Huo really stand up to this responsibility?

If Meng Huo is the patriarch, the most important speaker, and the core of the Meng clan, then there is nothing to say about what decision Meng Huo makes, even if it is wrong, but Zhuge Liang was not valued before, or not so much. The consequences are now revealed.

  Meng Huo was originally just a microphone, but now...

  The invitation on the table was like a heavy stone, weighing heavily on Meng Huo's heart.

  『Zhuge Kongming…』

  …(;Д｀)…

  The time set on the invitation is approaching.

  The banquet in the hall has been properly arranged, and the aroma of food and wine is permeating.

  Fa Ping sat on Zhuge Liang's side, feeling a little uneasy.

  Zhuge Liang glanced at Faping slightly, "What do you want to say, just say it." 』

  『Engagement, if... What if the son of Mencius doesn’t come? ’ Faping couldn’t help but cupped his hands and said.

  Zhuge Liang smiled, "If I invite Lu Jiping, or any one of the Jiao family and Zheng family, then it is really possible not to come, but the son of Meng... Do you know the difference?" 』

  『Meng Shizi...not as smart as those three people? ’ Fapin replied.

   Zhuge Liang shook his head, "No. 』

  Just as he was about to speak, some voices came from the street outside the wall. Zhuge listened carefully, and smiled slightly, "Listen... here we come. 』

  Meng Huo entered the courtyard very anxiously, and greeted Zhuge Liang. Meng Huo was very afraid that Zhuge Liang would say something for him to make a choice, but he vaguely expected that Zhuge Liang would reveal some information.

  This contradictory and uneasy mood made Meng Huo almost tasteless.

  The feast is good.

  The dishes are exquisite.

After the baptism in Chang'an, Pao Ding, who has obtained the first and second true biography of Fei Qian, can always process simple ingredients into a look that ordinary people can't afford. Coupled with the reasonable use of spices, it can be said that the dishes at the banquet are all before Meng Huo. Tastes never tasted before.

But Meng Huo didn't pay attention to the dishes. He focused all his attention on what Zhuge Liang said. He tried hard to write down every word Zhuge Liang said. Lightly and deftly, he drew his attention to another direction.

  Finally, Meng Huo ate vegetables and drank wine, his stomach was full and his head was full.

  Zhuge Liang seemed to have said a lot and hardly made Meng Huo feel cold, but those local customs, those foreign scenery, were really the focus of this banquet?

  Satisfied with wine and food, full of stomach and intestines, will cause short-term ischemia of the brain.

  Under such circumstances, Meng Huo had to cheer up to cope with the continuous inquiries from people after hearing that he had returned from Zhuge's banquet.

   Repeated inquiries.

  『What did you say? 』

  『Customs and customs. 』

  『For so long, what have you said? 』

  『Customs and customs. 』

  『What did Zhuge say throughout the banquet? 』

  『There are really only local customs! 』

  『Brother Meng, it doesn’t make sense for you to do this. With our friendship, can’t you tell us what Zhuge Zeng said? 』

  Meng Huo almost went crazy, "I'm telling the truth, it's really local customs!" real! If there is a lie, it will be struck by lightning! 』

  Everyone heard the words, then looked up at the sky one after another, and then left disgruntled...
