Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

On the ceiling, Qi Cheng simply took out the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from home. Although it was still a little different from the Records of the Three Kingdoms, it was still somewhat useful.

"The next one is Liu Bei of Zhuo County."

Liu Bei, who was originally a little-known figure, was the focus of everyone's attention. Yuan Shao signaled him to ask whether the alliance against Dong Zhuo was successful. However, Liu Bei had his own ideas. He asked whether the people involved in the battle just now that was related to him were all his subordinates.

What he actually meant was to ask himself what would happen in the future, whether he would be a thug for another force or have his own force.

"Haha, of course they are all your subordinates, but they are not from the same period. For example, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao are actually the sons of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei grinned, which meant that their sons were not useless and that people still remembered them after so many years.

"And the most important Zhuge Liang is still a child. You won't meet him for at least five or six years." Qi Cheng said with a smile, "I'm afraid you can't imagine his abilities right now."

Liu Bei touched his head and wondered what he meant by "he couldn't imagine"? How powerful was Zhuge Liang? Judging from his attire, he should be a strategist. He wondered how he compared to Sun Qian.

"Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming and nicknamed Wulong, was a native of Langya Commandery in Xuzhou. He fled south to avoid the chaos." Qi Cheng omitted Zhuge Liang's achievements. "Later, during the Tang Dynasty, a Martial Temple was established to honor Jiang Shang, the King of Martial Success. Zhuge Liang was one of the Ten Sages, and was worshipped along with them."

"He is listed among the Ten Sages with Zhang Liang, Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Yue Yi, Tian Rangju, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Li Ji, and Li Jing."

"The last two are from the Tang Dynasty. You don't know them, but you should be familiar with the first two."

"In the later period, it can be said that he single-handedly led Shu Han forward. During the Northern Expedition, he wrote a poem called "Chu Shi Biao" (The Memorial to the Emperor on Departing from the Capital), which is still an article we need to study."

“It is said that those who do not cry while reading the Memorial to the Emperor on the Death of a Scholar are disloyal, and those who do not cry while reading the Memorial to the Emperor on the Death of a Scholar are unfilial.”

"From ancient times to the present, people have cherished the memory of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. There is a poem in ancient times that goes, 'He made a name for himself with his one campaign, and who can rival him in a thousand years?' Even now, there is still the Wuhou District and the Wuhou Temple."

After listening to Qi Cheng's introduction, all the governors present at the meeting turned their attention to Liu Bei. How could such a powerful strategist follow Liu Bei?

After all, he is just a plain commander now and has no soldiers under his command.

Since he is so powerful, I have to take the initiative. It doesn’t matter if he is a child, I can just adopt him as my godson.

Liu Bei wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his power must have been quite great later, otherwise he would not be called Prime Minister Zhuge.

Did he declare himself emperor?

Gongsun Zan glanced at Liu Bei, who was sweating profusely, and asked him to ask why Zhuge Liang would assist him. Such a powerful figure should have chosen a more powerful force.

"A good minister chooses his master to serve. What attracted Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei was probably his benevolence and righteousness. During the turmoil of that year, Liu Bei left a deep impression on the young Zhuge Liang."

Benevolence and righteousness?

The governors present looked at Liu Bei with some confusion. Did they think they were not righteous? Well, even if they were not righteous before, they would definitely be righteous in the future.

Attract Zhuge Liang to his side.

"Xuan De is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, but that turmoil..." Gongsun Zan looked at the people attending the alliance meeting. He felt that the turmoil must be related to the people present.

"You're right. The turmoil at that time had a lot to do with some of you." Qi Cheng poured himself a glass of water. "But it's hard to say."

"At that time, Cao Cao had annihilated the Yellow Turbans in the east and selected the best and strongest among them to serve as soldiers in Qingzhou. The court appointed him as General Zhendong, which is why he gained great fame."

"He wanted to take his father from Langya to Dongjun. Tao Qian, the then governor of Xuzhou, specially sent his general Zhang Kai to escort him. However, Zhang Kai, attracted by the money, killed Cao Cao's father."

"And Cao Cao, seeking revenge, marched on Xuzhou and slaughtered several cities in quick succession. Blood flowed everywhere, and the people were naturally displaced. It was also around that time that Zhuge Liang fled from Langya to Yukang for refuge."

The prefects and inspectors who attended the alliance looked back and forth at Tao Qian and Cao Cao's faces. They didn't expect that the two would have a story in the future, but Cao Cao was indeed a cruel guy.

When my father died, all the people in Xuzhou had to be buried with him.

"Tao Qian was no match for Cao Cao, so he had no choice but to send his men to seek help. One of them went to Tian Kai in Qingzhou, and the other went to Kong Rong in Beihai."

"At that time, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was raging in Beihai. If it weren't for Taishi Ci's return of favor, even Kong Rong himself would have been in danger."

"Kong Rong pondered for a long time and specially sent Taishi Ci to Liu Bei to ask for help. At that time, Liu Bei was still the Prime Minister of Pingyuan and had only 3,000 soldiers and horses. His generals were no match for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he still resolutely sent troops."

"Needless to say, the Yellow Turbans were a motley crowd, no match for the two renowned generals from the Temple of Martial Arts. They were utterly defeated in an instant. Mi Zhu, who had sought help from Kong Rong, also turned to Liu Bei for assistance."

"At the time, Liu Bei had few soldiers, so he went to Gongsun Zan to borrow two thousand soldiers and Zhao Yun. Together with his own three thousand soldiers, they headed towards Xuzhou."

“Wherever justice leads, I will go even if there are thousands of people against me.”

After hearing Qi Cheng's words, everyone in the alliance showed a hint of admiration. No wonder he had famous generals to assist him. They couldn't even match his courage.

Under the circumstances at that time, it was a good thing that I could protect myself.

Liu Bei wanted to ask about his future course, but Yuan Shu spoke first, "Liu Bei has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, but what about the reputations of the rest of us?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glared at each other. This was an opportunity given to his elder brother by Tianmu. What did Yuan Shu mean by this?

"you are?"

"Nanyang Yuangong Road."

"Yuan Shu, back then you were called the Dry Bones of the Underworld, and it wasn't just one person who called you that. You must be aware that we in later generations sometimes jokingly call you the Skeleton King."

"Skeleton...King?"

Liu Bei is known for his benevolence and righteousness, but why does he become the Skeleton King when it comes to me? Isn't this bullying? And what are these people in the alliance laughing at!

Yuan Shao, you can see your tonsils when you laugh so hard!

"Lord Xuande, do you want me to continue answering this question?"

Looking at everyone's shining eyes, Liu Bei could only agree against his will.

"You guys are still very strange at this time. You may be enemies fighting each other to death one moment, but become friends the next."

"Liu Bei sent troops to rescue Xuzhou. A few years later, Cao Cao recommended Liu Bei as the Left General. The two returned to Xudu together. One day, they drank plum wine together and talked about the heroes of the world."

This was Cao Cao’s answer.

Yuan Shu of Huainan is just a pile of dry bones in the underworld. I will capture him sooner or later.

Yuan Shao of Hebei was careful about his health when doing great things, and forgot his life when seeing small profits.

Liu Zhang of Yizhou is the guard dog of the house.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou is just a figurehead.

Sun Ce of Jiangdong, borrowed his father's name.

Zhang Xiu, Zhang Lu, and Han Sui are mediocre men and not worth mentioning.

The only heroes in the world are you and Cao.
