He was young, his surname was Zhuge, and he was treated with such courtesy by Sun Qian.

Needless to say, the young man in front of him was none other than the famous Zhuge Liang in history!

At this time, Liu Bei neither met Mr. Shuijing nor Xu Shu came back to recommend Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei did not visit Zhuge Liang three times.

Logically speaking, Zhuge Liang should not be entangled with Liu Bei at this time.

……

Let’s go back a few months.

When Xu Shu went to Xinye to join Liu Bei under his real name.

Through a long conversation with Liu Bei all night.

And the interactions with Liu, Guan and Zhang during the day.

Xu Shu was inspired by the righteousness of Liu Bei and others towards his country and family.

He decided to stay with Liu Bei and assist him wholeheartedly.

Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang were good friends.

He knew Zhuge Liang's abilities.

I also know that Zhuge Liang has been waiting for a wise leader.

Out of trust in Liu Bei.

Xu Shu found an opportunity and went to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage to personally lobby Zhuge Liang on behalf of Liu Bei.

He wanted Zhuge Liang to come out of seclusion and assist Liu Bei with him.

At that time, Liu Bei lived in a small county in Xinye and had only a few thousand men under his command.

Although he has the reputation of being "benevolent and righteous", his own strength is very weak.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang did not agree to Xu Shu's request.

In Zhuge Liang's view.

At that time, Liu Bei had both territory and men.

They are unable to show their strengths.

In Zhuge Liang's view.

With his own and Xu Shu's talents.

Liu Bei must at least have his own territory.

He must have tens of thousands of troops under his command.

Only then can the two of them give full play to their abilities.

There are only a few thousand people, not enough for Xu Shu alone, let alone myself?

If I join Liu Bei at this time, it would just be a waste of resources.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang politely declined Xu Shu.

Because the two are close friends.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang told the truth about the reason for his refusal.

When Xu Shu heard Zhuge Liang say that it was because Liu Bei had too few troops and horses that he could not give full play to his abilities, he was speechless.

He knew that Zhuge Liang was telling the truth.

But Xu Shu didn't want such a talented person like Zhuge Liang to join others.

So Xu Shu deliberately provoked Zhuge Liang and said:

"If Liu Xuande one day controls thousands of miles of territory and commands tens of thousands of troops, would you, Zhuge Kongming, be willing to surrender to him?"

"If that day ever comes, I, Zhuge Liang, will personally surrender. Furthermore, I will follow the example of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru and personally apologize to you, Xu Yuanzhi, carrying a thorny branch on my back!"

This was Zhuge Liang’s answer.

"Ok, I will wait for you!"

After saying this, Xu Shu stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing Xu Shu agreed so readily, Zhuge Liang just smiled and said nothing.

Although he lived in Longzhong for a long time.

But he is well aware of the major events in the world.

He knew that Liu Bei would not be able to accomplish anything in a short period of time.

He also knew that Xu Shu was deliberately setting a trap for him.

But Zhuge Liang didn't care.

In his heart, compared with other princes, Liu Bei was indeed a wise leader.

But with the thousands of troops Liu Bei has now, one Xu Shu is enough!

But what happened later was beyond Zhuge Liang's expectations.

Because of the rebellion of Cao Pi and the Sima family.

This resulted in the emptiness of Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

Xu Shu urged Liu Bei to take the opportunity to head north.

Finally in a very short time.

Liu Bei actually got two states.

When Zhuge Liang heard the news, he was overjoyed.

He knew that he finally had the opportunity to put his knowledge into practice!

The day after I got the news.

Zhuge Liang traveled light and headed north.

But when Zhuge Liang arrived in Xuzhou Xia Pi.

However, he learned that Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others were not in Xia Pi.

Zhang Fei also set off for Linzi, Qingzhou five days ago.

With Zhuge Liang's wisdom, he naturally guessed Xu Shu's plan at the first moment.

That is, Liu Bei led light cavalry to attack Xu Du.

Zhuge Liang was immediately shocked by Xu Shu's plan.

Considering that Zhang Fei had no advisers around him.

In addition, Zhuge Liang was also interested in observing Zhang Fei's character at this time.

So Zhuge Liang disguised himself.

So he went north to Linzi alone.

It was less than half an hour after Zhuge Liang entered Linzi City.

But suddenly they learned that Cao's army was at the gate of the city.

……

In Linzi City, people were in panic because of the arrival of Cao's army.

Plus, Zhang Fei never showed up.

Instinctively, Zhuge Liang concluded that something big must have happened to Zhang Fei.

In desperation, Zhuge Liang revealed his identity.

He came to the governor's mansion as Xu Shu's best friend.

Just walked into the governor's mansion.

Zhuge Liang saw Zhang Fei, who was drunk as a puddle of mud, and a group of generals defending the city.

Through testing, Zhuge Liang discovered that there was something wrong with the wine that Zhang Fei and others drank.

Thinking that Cao's army was already at the gates of the city.

Zhang Fei was drunk at this time.

When Zhuge Liang was in Longzhong, he taught himself the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang immediately used Wu Shi San and acupuncture together.

Fight poison with poison against the generals in the hall.

In the end, only Zhang Fei woke up from his coma because of his excellent physical condition.

But even so, Zhuge Liang knew that this method only treated the symptoms and not the root cause.

The effect of Wu Shi San only temporarily suppressed the Ting Hua Shui.

But for Zhuge Liang, this was enough.

So Zhuge Liang explained the whole story to Zhang Fei.

He told Zhang Fei that only if Zhang Fei achieved a temporary victory could he buy more time and resolve the current crisis.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang said it so seriously.

I see Zhuge Liang’s methods are so amazing again.

Zhang Fei immediately reorganized his troops and went out of the city to meet the enemy.

This is also why Zhang Fei was able to wake up in such a short time even though he was clearly poisoned by the obedient water.

Originally, Zhuge Liang's plan had a high success rate.

But Zhuge Liang didn't expect it.

In Xiahou Dun's army, there was actually a fierce general like Ju Qi, who was strong enough to fight Zhang Fei on equal terms.

Watching time pass by bit by bit.

If this drags on, Zhang Fei will surely be defeated.

In desperation, Zhuge Liang revealed his identity again and found Sun Qian and Jian Yong.

Informed the two of the current crisis.

Then describe the current situation.

The only way out for myself and others.

That is, protect Zhang Fei and go south to Xuzhou.

……

How to save Zhang Fei?

In Zhuge Liang's plan.

The only viable solution at the moment is.

Before the morale of the soldiers in the city completely collapses.

Use a large number of infantry to stop Xiahou Dun's soldiers.

Then use cavalry to attack Ju Qi and take Zhang Fei away.

However, the morale of the troops in the city was already in jeopardy at this time.

To ensure that the soldiers will follow him in the charge.

Among Sun Qian and Jian Yong.

One person must be chosen to lead the charge to boost morale.

But the person who leads the charge will surely die.

What Zhuge Liang didn't expect was.

Sun Qian and Jian Yong heard Zhuge Liang's plan.

He actually rushed to lead the team to charge.

This was the first time that Zhuge Liang was impressed by the unity of Liu Bei's group.

In the end, Jian Yong took command.

Next.

Just like what happened before.

Seeing Ju Qi playing a cat-and-mouse game with Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei could die at any time.

Zhuge Liang made a prompt decision.

First, he promised the soldiers in the city great benefits.

Trick them into attacking Xiahou Dun together with Jian Yong.

Zhuge Liang was with Sun Qian.

He led the cavalry to charge towards Ju Qi and took the opportunity to take Zhang Fei away.

Zhuge Liang's plan was successful and Zhang Fei was really rescued.

……

In order to escape the pursuit of Xiahou Dun's army.

Zhuge Liang made a decisive decision.

Let the army march north.

Wait until the army is out of Cao's sight.

Everyone disguised themselves again and looked for an opportunity to head south.

But what Zhuge Liang didn't expect was.

The army had only run a few miles.

Cao Ren, who was hiding on the official road in the north, rushed out with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

A few blinks of an eye.

Zhuge Liang and his cavalry were surrounded by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry brought by Cao Ren.

Zhuge Liang naturally knew the reputation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

On the verge of life and death.

Zhuge Liang said quickly:

"The enemy wants to capture the three generals. Our only option now is..."

Zhuge Liang wanted to say.

Let Zhang Fei change into the clothes of a soldier, then shave his beard, hide himself among the soldiers, and then everyone fled in all directions.

Make the enemy unable to find the target for a short time.

But after Zhang Fei heard what Zhuge Liang said.

I thought of the instructions given to me by Liu Bei and Xu Shu.

I thought of the scene where Jian Yong was willing to die to save me.

In addition, the medicinal effect of the Five Stones Powder in Zhang Fei's body was gradually dissipating.

Zhang Fei knew that the most dangerous place right now was right next to him.

Before the enemy's encirclement is completely closed.

Zhang Fei raised his hand and threw Zhuge Liang and Sun Qian into the bushes beside the official road.

Then he rode his black horse and headed straight for Cao Ren.

"Zhang Yide of Yan is here. Who dares to fight me to the death?"

Zhang Fei gave his final cry.
