Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

"This little brother is..."

After Deng Mu recited the poem, he pretended to look at Zhuge Liang with curiosity.

Zhuge Liang just came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed his hands:

"Zhuge Liang, a grassroots man, paid homage to Military Advisor Deng."

Deng Mu pretended to be surprised and looked at Deng Ai reproachfully:

"Xiao Ai, Mr. Zhuge is back, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Deng Ai took the blame, so he could only complain secretly.

Brother, you have explained that the most important thing in the world is eating and sleeping. Even if the king of heaven comes, I can't disturb your sleep. How can I dare to wake you up?…

"Liang just came back and waited for a while, so it didn't bother him."

Zhuge Liang also understands human affairs, so he smiled and waved his hand to smooth things over for Deng Ai.

Deng Mu was just acting, so naturally he wouldn't really blame Deng Ai. With Zhuge Liang's explanation, he put the matter behind him.

"Mr. Zhuge, please don’t stand. Let’s sit down and talk."

"Xiao Ai, what are you still doing here? Why don't you serve Mr. Zhuge tea?"

Deng Mu entertained Zhuge Liang like a host.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be startled, thinking to himself, isn't this my home? How could it be that I became a guest?

Deng Ai was also stunned, a little at a loss for a moment.

He still stayed outside the hall. Zhuge Ling was alert and quickly served tea again, which eased the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Zhuge Liang played with the tea cup and was thinking about how to speak.

"Mr. Zhuge, there is no resurrection after death. Your uncle has passed away, so you still have to express your condolences."

Deng Mu spoke first, pointing out the fact that Zhuge Xuan had passed away.

Zhuge Liang was shocked, and his face showed shock.

When Zhuge Xuan died of illness, Xiangyang changed hands, and the situation was chaotic and dangerous.

Therefore, his siblings were not It was announced to the outside world that it was just a simple funeral. The only people who knew about it were close friends such as Xu Shu.

Besides, Zhuge Xuan was not a big shot. His death from illness was a big deal in Xiangyang.

It was so unfair. Deng Ziyu actually knew about such a trivial matter?

Zhuge Liang turned around and looked at Zhuge Ling.

At this time, Zhuge Ling was equally surprised. He understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's eyes and shook his head slightly to show that he had not done so beforehand. Did not disclose this matter to Deng Mu

"This Deng Ziyu is really extraordinary..."

Zhuge Liang sighed secretly in his heart, and secretly respected Deng Mu.

But on his face, he forced himself to be calm and was busy thanking Deng Mu for his care.

"Your Zhuge family is in Xuzhou, and it can be considered a prominent family in Langxie, with a prosperous family business. I think Mr. Zhuge and your sister lived a life of rich clothing and fine food."

"It's a pity that Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou twice. In order to vent his hatred for killing his father, he allowed his subordinates to massacre Xuzhou. Unfortunately, your Zhuge family was affected. The family fortune accumulated over a hundred years was destroyed in one day. The Zhuge family was either massacred or scattered."

"You siblings have taken refuge in Jingzhou. As foreigners, you should have a very miserable life in Jingzhou."

"Now that your uncle has died of illness again, your siblings are completely helpless. Life is going to be even harder than before, and they can only rely on their own hard work to make ends meet."

"I came here this time and brought a few carts of money and food, as a token of my gratitude to you siblings."

"If Mr. Zhuge doesn't think it's too little, he can accept it temporarily."

As Deng Mu continued his explanation, Zhoucang outside the hall ordered his guards to go to the courtyard where there was a shortage of food and money.

In a sympathetic tone, he pointed out Zhuge Liang's life and past one by one.

At the same time, he did not move. The sound and color revealed the scar that the Zhuge clan declined due to Cao Cao's bloodbath in Xuzhou and had to flee Xuzhou for refuge.

Zhuge Liang's heart was shocked, and a complex look suddenly filled his eyes.

It was a mixture of surprise, gratitude, and hatred. look on his face.

Surprised, because he was surprised that Deng Mu knew everything, and he knew so well about his family history and current situation!

Grateful, because he was grateful for Deng Mu's concern for their siblings, and he just came to visit them. He actually sent food and money.

This kind of treatment and care was a warmth that his siblings had never enjoyed before after living in Jingzhou for many years.

In addition, there was hatred of course.

When Cao Cao killed Xuzhou, the blood flowed like a river, and the Zhuge family Burned to rubble, many of his clan members died, were injured, and fled. The

Zhuge family was in ruins as a result. And he, a son of the Zhuge family, should have enjoyed a life without worries about food and clothing, but he had to leave his hometown at a young age and return home. He had to work in the fields himself to make a living.

All kinds of hardships and hardships can be said to be given by Cao Cao.

Although he comforted himself, these hardships were also a kind of hardship.

But it is natural to say that he did not have any hatred for Cao Cao in his heart. It is impossible.

This hatred is the entry point for Deng Mu to conquer Zhuge Liang for Lao Liu.

In history, Zhuge Liang came out to assist Liu Bei, appreciated and respected Lao Liu's benevolence, and his heart was naturally the main reason for the Han Dynasty.

But another important reason is that Old Liu has been holding high the banner of anti-Cao from the beginning to the end.

As a victim of Cao Cao's bloodbath in Xuzhou, it is impossible for Zhuge Liang not to have any resentment against Cao Cao.

So assisting Old Liu, It was Zhuge Liang's natural choice to destroy the Cao thieves and revive the Han Dynasty.

Deng Mu wanted to take advantage of this to allow Zhuge Liang to express his intention to join Liu Bei.

"Thank you, Commander Deng, for taking care of me. Thank you Liang and Sister. Zhuge

Liang cupped his hands and thanked him, and then sighed:

"Unexpectedly, Liang was an unknown civilian, but Military Advisor Deng knew Liang's life very well."

"What Military Advisor Deng said is true. If the traitor Cao hadn't massacred Xuzhou back then, my Zhuge family would not have been in ruins, and Liang and his sister would not have lived in poverty in a foreign country."

Deng Mu glanced sideways and could see the hatred in Zhuge Liang's expression and words.

"Mr. Zhuge does not need to be sad"

"I, Deng Mu, will do my best to assist my lord Liu Xuande in clearing out the Han thieves from all directions, bringing peace to the world sooner or later, and re-establishing the Han Dynasty."

"I believe it won’t be long before Mr. Zhuge can return to Xuzhou. With your talent, why can’t you revive your Zhuge family?"

Deng Mu drew up a blueprint for him.

Wipe out the Han traitors, pacify the world, re-establish the Han Dynasty, return to his hometown, and revitalize the Zhuge family... He did not mention the word"recruitment", but every word hit Zhuge Liang's heart. , igniting the passion hidden in his heart

"Commander Deng, do we, my siblings, really have a chance to return to our hometown?"

Zhuge Ling became excited, with a look of surprise and joy on her face.

For her daughter's family, she didn't care about the grand narrative of the great righteousness of the family and the country, or the re-establishment of the Han Dynasty.

But if the fallen leaves can return to their roots, they can return to their roots. Returning to Langxie's hometown and being able to pay homage to her father's grave in person is her greatest luxury in life.

"That's natural. I, Deng Mu, always do what I say."

"Now that our lord has captured Xiangyang, the next step is to conquer Jiangling and take over Jingzhou."

"Then he went down to the east of the Yangtze River, captured Bashu, and competed for the extreme reaches of the Yangtze River, occupying the entire southern half of the Yangtze River."

"At that time, my lord gave an order, and the three armies marched north to the Central Plains, taking Guanlong in the west, Heluo in the middle, and Xuhuai in the east."

"The world can be settled, and the Han Dynasty can be prosperous!"

"By that time, you siblings will naturally be able to return to your hometown."

Deng Mu was heroic and confident, and told Zhuge Liang his improved version of"Longzhong Dui".

Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard it. A magnificent picture seemed to be displayed in front of his eyes by Deng Mu.

"Liang had been thinking about how Liu Shijun, with his humble body, could go against the will of heaven and help the Han Dynasty and the country!"

"After listening to what Military Advisor Deng said today, it suddenly dawned on me that I could see the moon from the clouds!"

"Military Advisor Deng is really the Zhang Liang of Liu Shijun!"

Zhuge Liang exclaimed with admiration in his eyes.

Although he was still young at this time, he had not yet reached the stage of coming up with a strategic concept like"Longzhong Pair".

But his talent was there, and he could easily do it. He heard the subtlety of Deng Mu's strategy.

At this point, Deng Mu knew that the foreshadowing was almost done and it was time to finish.

"I also heard Mr. Huang mention it, saying that there lived a young talented man in Wollongong, but it was a pity that he lived in poverty."

"So I thought of it today and came to visit on behalf of my lord."

"I've delivered the money and food. It's getting late, so it's time for me to say goodbye."

Deng Mu still didn't mention the word solicitation. He stood up with a smile and said goodbye.

Zhuge Liang was startled and said hurriedly:

"It was getting late, so if Commander Deng didn't mind it, he might as well stay at Liang's house for a night, and Liang could ask Commander Deng for advice."

Deng Mu waved his hand:

"Forget it, my lord is still waiting for me to go back and discuss the plan to capture Jiangling."

"I won't bother your siblings anymore. We are destined to meet again."

After that, Deng Mu didn't look back, turned around and walked away.

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to send Deng Mu outside the hall.

Seeing that Deng Mu was about to get in the car and leave.

After Zhuge Liang hesitated again and again, his eyes suddenly Become decisive. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Commander Deng, please stay!"

Zhuge Liang shouted loudly and took a few steps to catch up.

Deng Mu turned around and looked at Zhuge Liang pretending to be confused.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, saluted his clothes, and bowed deeply to Deng Mu:

"Military Master Deng’s uncanny calculations, superb wisdom, and strategies are the best in the world!"

"Liang has the ambition to assist the Ming Lord, help the Han Dynasty, and save the common people!"

"Unfortunately, he has little talent and little knowledge, and mediocre qualifications. He only has the ambition to serve the country, but no talent to help the country!"

"Liang sincerely asks Military Advisor Deng to accept me as his disciple, so that he can teach Liang how to conquer the world, so that I can assist Liu Shijun, wipe out the Han thieves, and rejuvenate my great Han Dynasty!"

Finally.

At the last moment, Zhuge Liang made up his mind to worship Deng Mu as his teacher.

After saying these sincere words, Zhuge Liang fell to the ground and kowtowed deeply to Deng Mu.

Deng Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He was really a little worried. Zhuge Liang was so proud. He refused to take the initiative to ask for an official position.

Facts have proved that his worries were unnecessary.

But to his surprise, Zhuge Liang not only took the initiative to request to serve Lao Liu, but also wanted to worship himself as his teacher!

"Well..."

This sudden change made Deng Mu undecided for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhuge Ling hurriedly followed and knelt before Deng Mu.

"Military Advisor Deng, please accept A Liang as your disciple."

"He said that his qualifications are mediocre, but that's just his modesty. My brother is really talented, and he is like a piece of pure jade buried in the sand."

"If he can't get guidance from an expert like you, Military Advisor Deng, he will really be buried and his talent will be wasted."

Zhuge Ling kept in mind her uncle Zhuge Xuan's dying words, and regarded her younger brother as the hope of reviving the Zhuge family.

Seeing that she had the opportunity to be a disciple of a strange man like Deng Mu, and to serve as an official for a wise master like Liu Bei, as her sister Naturally, she didn't care about her face, and knelt down to plead.

Both siblings had done this, so Deng Mu would not refuse.

After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang was indeed still young now, not much older than Deng Ai. He cannot reach the level of Wang Zuo's talents.

It would be a good choice to accept him as a disciple, polish him well, and cultivate him. Besides, he already has Deng Ai as a de facto disciple, and one more disciple will Why not

"Get up!"

Deng Mu217 immediately leaned over and helped the two siblings up.

After coughing a few times, Deng Mu sighed softly:

"Kong Ming, since you are also determined to assist the lord and support our country, then I will accept you as my disciple!"

As soon as these words came out,

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Deng Mu again:

"My mentor is here, please accept my disciple’s bow!"

Since he is his apprentice, Deng Mu was not polite, put on a teacher's airs, and accepted Zhuge Liang's worship calmly.

"Thank you, Military Master Deng, for accepting my A Liang as your disciple. Thank you, Ling'er.~~"

Zhuge Ling was so grateful that tears filled her eyes, and she was so busy that she knelt down to thank Deng Mu again.

Deng Mu couldn't stand this kneeling. Before her knees hit the ground, he subconsciously held her up with his bare hands and forcibly lifted her up.

"He is my student, so he has to kneel down. I, the master, can bear it, so you don’t have to."

Deng Mu said with a faint smile.

Zhuge Ling was forced to stand up. When she looked up, she saw her naked body being held tightly by Deng Mu.

Such an unintentional skin-to-skin contact made Zhuge Ling's heart skip a beat. Shocked, her face suddenly became slightly dizzy.

She hurriedly took out her bare hands, lowered her head and raised her hair, with a hint of shyness in her eyebrows.

"Okay, I'll go back to Xiangyang first"

"Zifeng, please leave a team of people behind, help them clean up, and move into Xiangyang City."

After Deng Mu settled down, he got on the carriage and left.

"Disciple congratulates Master!"

Zhuge Liang bowed to say goodbye.

It wasn't until the carriage was far away that Zhuge Liang straightened up and asked Zhuge Ling to pack up her belongings so that she could enter Xiangyang.

When he turned around, he saw his sister, still staring blankly at Deng Mu's departure. Direction.

His face was slightly red, and in his eyes, there seemed to be a hint of sadness.

"Sister, why are you blushing?"

Zhuge Liang asked in confusion.

Zhuge Ling shuddered and suddenly came back to her senses. She seemed to have a guilty conscience, but her face turned red to her ears.

"Why am I blushing? It must be because of the sunset"

"The sunset? Then only one side should be red. Why is your other side so red, sister?"

"You don't care about me! Why don't you help me pack up Xinrou so that I can move to Xiangyang as soon as possible?~~"

Zhuge Ling pretended to be impatient, rolled her eyes at her silly brother, and hurriedly turned back to the thatched cottage.

"Why did sister become a little weird as soon as the master left..."

Zhuge Liang muttered and followed in.

…

Xiangyang City, Military Advisor's Mansion.

When Deng Mu returned home, the lanterns were already hanging high.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Huang Yueying came up to her and said:

"The young master is back. Come in quickly. The master has been waiting for you for a long time."
