 Chapter 36 of the main text: Xuande uses tactics to attack Fancheng Yuan and recommends Zhuge as a straight horse

------------------------

But Cao Ren was angry, so he raised his troops and crossed the river at night, intending to conquer Xinye. Let's talk about Danfu returning to the county victorious, and Xuande saying

Cao Ren stationed troops in Fancheng, and now he knows that two generals will be executed. He will raise a large army to fight. "Xuande said," How should we welcome them? "Fu said“

If he comes with all his troops, Fancheng will be empty and can be seized by chance. ”Xuande asked for advice. Fu Fu whispered so softly. Xuande was overjoyed,

Prepared in advance. The horse newspaper suddenly reported, "Cao Ren has led a large army to cross the river." Dan Fu said, "If it doesn't yield my results, then I will ask

Xuande led the army to confront the enemy. Two formations are aligned, and Zhao Yun summons the general to answer. Cao Ren ordered Li Dian to join the battle and confront Zhao Yun. About ten battles

Hehe, Li Dian is unable to defeat the enemy, so he will withdraw his horse and return to the formation. Yun Zongma chased after him, and the two wings of the army shot, so they all stopped and returned to their fortresses. Li Dian met Cao Ren again,

The enemy is elite and should not be underestimated. It is better to return to Fancheng, "Cao Ren said angrily." Before you left the army, you had already slowed down the morale of our troops. Now

Selling formations again, the crime is beheading! ”Then the swordsman pushed out Li Dian to chop; The suffering of all will be avoided. Li Dian is appointed to lead the rear army, while Ren Ziyin is appointed

Soldiers are in the front. The next day, they sounded drums and marched forward, forming a formation that made people ask Xuande, "Do you know my formation?" Shan Fu then went up to observe from a high place

After reading it, Xuande said, "This is the Golden Lock Formation of the Eight Gates. The Eight Gates are Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, and Kai. It is like following life

Doors, scenic doors, and entrances are auspicious; Entering through the doors of injury, shock, and rest will result in injury; From Du Men, death leads to death. Now there are eight gates

Although the fabric is neatly arranged, there is only a lack of communication between the hosts in the middle. If you attack someone from the southeast corner and head towards the west scenic gate, your formation will be chaotic. ”

Xuande issued an order to instruct the soldiers to hold onto the corner of the formation and ordered Zhao Yun to lead 500 troops to enter from the southeast and exit from the west. Yun Deling, wield your gun and leap your horse,

Lead the troops to the southeast corner and shout as they charge into the central army. Cao Ren then headed north. Yun didn't chase after him, but he stood out at the west gate and turned from killing in the west to killing in the east

Come up to the southern corner. Cao Renjun's army was in chaos. Xuande's army launched an attack, but Cao's troops suffered a major defeat and retreated. Danfu ordered to stop chasing and withdraw his troops. But it says Cao

Ren lost for a while, Fang Xin followed Li Dian's words; Due to the request for further discussion, it was said, "There must be capable soldiers in Liu Bei's army, but my formation has been defeated

Li Dian said, "Although I am here, I am deeply concerned about Fancheng,

He withdrew his troops and returned to Fancheng. ”Li Dian said, "No. Liu Bei must be prepared." Ren said, "If you are so suspicious, why use troops

So he didn't listen to Li Dian's words. Leading the army as the front team and appointing Li Dian as the rear support, they raided the fortress on the second watch that night.

But when Shan Fuzheng and Xuan De were discussing in the village, suddenly the trade wind suddenly rose. Fu said, "Tonight Cao Ren will come to rob the fortress." Xuande said, "Why

To the enemy? ”Fu Xiao said, "I have already set the budget." Then the allocation was completed densely. At the second watch, Cao Renbing's army approached the fortress and only saw the fortress

A fire broke out around Zhongsi, burning the fortress. Cao Renzhi was prepared and urgently ordered the retreat of the army. Zhao Yun conceals the future. Ren is unable to gather his troops and return to the fortress, urgently looking forward

Walk along the North River. Just as they were about to reach the river, they were about to find a boat to cross it when a large army on the shore arrived: the chief general, Zhang Feiye. Cao Ren fought to the death,

Li Dian protected Cao Ren from disembarking and crossing the river. Most of the Cao army drowned in the water. Cao Ren crossed the river and ran ashore to Fancheng, which was a sight to behold. only

Seeing the sound of a drum on the city, a general led his army out and shouted loudly, "I have taken Fancheng for a long time!" The crowd was startled, and it was Guan Yunchang

Ren was greatly surprised and rode away. Yun Chang chased after him. Cao Ren folded several more military horses and defected to Xuchang at night. After inquiring on the road, I found out

Dan Fu serves as a military advisor, devising strategies and plans. Not to mention that Cao Ren was defeated and returned to Xuchang. Let's say that Xuande achieved a complete victory and led his army into Fancheng. County magistrate Liu Bi

Welcome. Xuande Anmin has been settled. Liu Bi, who was from Changsha and also a Han dynasty relative, invited Xuande to his home and hosted a banquet to treat him. Only one person was seen

Standing to the side. Xuande regarded him as having a dignified appearance and asked Bi, "Who is this?" Bi replied, "This is my nephew Kou Feng, Marquis of Benluo

Son of the Kou family; Due to the death of both parents, we rely on this. ”Xuande loves him and wishes to inherit him as his adopted son. Liu Bi gladly complied and sent Kou Feng

Worship Xuande as his father and changing his name to Liu Feng. Xuande brought it back and appointed Bai Yunchang and Yi De as uncles. Yun Chang said, "Since you have a son, why bother using it

Borefly? There will be chaos afterwards. ”Xuande said, "I treat my child like a son, and he will treat me like a father. How could there be any chaos!" Yun Chang was displeased. Xuande

After discussing with Dan Fu, Zhao Yun was ordered to lead a thousand troops to defend Fancheng. Xuande led the crowd back to Xinye.

But when Cao Ren and Li Dian returned to Xudu and saw Cao Cao, they wept and bowed to the ground to plead guilty, expressing their grievances about the loss of their generals and troops. Cao said, "Victory or defeat is determined by the military family

As usual. But I don't know who drew the strategy for Liu Bei? ”Cao Renyan's plan is a single blessing. Cao said, "Who is Dan Fu?" Cheng Yu smiled and said“

This is not just a blessing. This person is fond of learning fencing from a young age; At the end of the Zhongping period, he attempted to avenge and kill people, and left with his hair and face painted, which was obtained by officials; ask

His name was not answered, and the official was bound to a carriage, beating drums and walking in the city. People in the city now recognize him, but those who do dare not speak, and his companions secretly rescued him

He changed his name and fled, turned to learning, visited famous teachers, and had discussions with Sima Hui. This person is Xu Shu from Yingchuan, with a straight character. Danfu

It is named after him. ”Cao said, "How can Xu Shu compare to you in talent?" Yu said, "Ten times more than Yu." Cao said, "I cherish the wise

Belonging to Liu Bei! Has the wings become mature? What's the deal? ”Yu said, "Although Xu Shu is there, it is not difficult for the Prime Minister to summon him

Did he come back? ”Yu said, "Xu Shu was a person of utmost filial piety. When he lost his father at a young age, there was only his mother in the hall. Now his younger brother Xu Kang has passed away, and his mother is still alive

No one is guarding. If the Prime Minister can send his mother to Xuchang and summon his son to write a letter, then Xu Shu will surely arrive. ”

Cao was overjoyed and sent someone to fetch Xu Shumu before midnight. If you don't receive it in a day, treat it well. Therefore, it is said: 'Upon hearing that Xu Yuanzhi, the heir, was

A genius in the world. Now in Xinye, Liu Bei, an assistant minister who betrayed the court, is like a beautiful jade falling into the mud. It is truly a pity. I'm annoyed now

My mother wrote a book and called back Xu Du. I will submit a memorial before the emperor and receive a heavy reward. ”I ordered my left and right to hold the Four Treasures of the Study, and instructed Xu's mother to do so

Book. Xu's mother asked, "What kind of person is Liu Bei

Even the petty ones inside. Xu's mother sternly said, "Why are you so hypocritical! I have long heard that Xuande is the successor to Prince Jing of Zhongshan, His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing

Xuansun, a humble corporal, treats others with respect and a benevolent voice. His name is well-known to the world's Huangtong, the old man, the shepherd, and the woodcutter: truly outstanding in this world

Heroes as well. My son's assistance has earned him the master. Although you use the name Han Xiang, you are actually a Han thief. But instead of using Xuande as a traitor, he wants to make me feel guilty

Isn't it shameful to throw light into darkness! At the end of his sentence, he took a stone inkstone and struck Cao Cao. Cao was furious and ordered the warrior to take Xu's mother out and execute her. Cheng Yu

Urgently stopping it, he advised Cao, saying: 'If Xu Mu disobeys the Prime Minister, she desires death. If the Prime Minister kills her, she will be called unjust and become Xu Mu.'

The virtue. After Xu's mother's death, Xu Shu will die to help Liu Bei seek revenge; It's better to keep it, so that Xu Shu can be physically and mentally separated, even if he helps Liu Bei,

Not trying my best either. Keeping Xu's mother here, Yu has his own plan to earn Xu Shu to assist the Prime Minister. ”Despite his words, he did not kill Xu's mother,

Send it to another room for nurturing. Cheng Yu greeted Xu Shu on a daily basis, falsely claiming that he had become brothers with Xu Shu and treated Xu's mother as if she were his own mother; Regularly feeding items is necessary

Hand start. Xu's mother also answered with her hand. Cheng Yu obtained the handwriting of Xu's mother and imitated her font, fraudulently repairing a family letter and missing a trusted confidant

The person, holding a book, ran straight to Xinye County to inquire about the "Danfu" Xingmu. The soldier introduced Xu Shu. The commoner's mother received a letter from home and urgently called in to inquire.

The person who came said, "Someone is a servant of the palace, following the words of the old lady and having a book attached." The commoner opened the seal and looked at him. The book says, 'Your younger brother's health has passed away recently.'

Without any relatives in sight. Amidst the midst of sorrow and grief, Prime Minister Cao unexpectedly brought people to Xuchang, saying that you had rebelled and sent me to Lu Xun, Lai Chengyu, and others to save them

If you surrender, you can spare me from death. As the book goes on until the day, one can recite the gratitude of labor, and come at night to demonstrate filial piety; Then Xu Tu returned to farming

Garden, avoid major disasters. My fate is hanging by a thread now, hoping for rescue! Not much instruction. ”After Xu Shu finished reading, tears welled up like a spring. Bring a book to see Xuan

De said, "A certain book was written by Xu Shu from Yingchuan, with a straight character. It was renamed Danfu due to fleeing. I heard that Liu Jingsheng was recruiting talented people, so I went to see him;

When discussing matters, one realizes that they are useless, so they write a book to separate them. At night, he went to Sima Shuijing Village to tell his story. Shuijing is deeply responsible

Master, why bother with Liu Yuzhou here? The commoner pretended to sing wildly in the market to move the ruler; If you are fortunate enough not to give up, you will be highly valued. nevertheless

My mother was tricked by Cao Cao and imprisoned in Xuchang, intending to harm her. The old mother sent a handwritten call, but I couldn't help but go. Not wanting to imitate dogs and horses

Labor to repay the lord; Naici is held hostage and cannot do her best. I will report it now, and we will discuss it later. ”Upon hearing these words, Xuande burst into tears and said, "Mother and Son

It is a natural bond that cannot be prepared for. After meeting the old couple, or receiving guidance again. ”Xu Shu expressed his gratitude and wanted to leave.

Xuande said, "I beg to gather for another night and bid farewell tomorrow." Sun Qianmi said to Xuande, "Yuan Zhi is a talented person in the world, who has been in the new field for a long time and knows everything

Our army is virtual and real. If I were to return to Cao Cao today, I would definitely be highly valued, and I would be in danger. Master, it is advisable to keep it and not let it go. Damn it, Yuan Zhi

Go, you must slay her mother. Yuan Zhi knew that his mother had died and would seek revenge for her. Attack Cao Cao vigorously. ”Xuande said, "No. Let someone kill her mother,

And I use his son without mercy; It is unjust to keep it and not let it go, in order to cut off the way of its parents. I would rather die than do anything unjust or unjust

Everyone exclaimed.

Xuande invited Xu Shu to drink, and the Shu said, "I heard that my mother is imprisoned. Although I cannot swallow the golden waves and jade liquid, I cannot swallow it

Go, if you lose your left and right hands, even if it's dragon liver and phoenix marrow, it won't taste sweet. ”The two of them wept at each other's faces, waiting for the moment to come. The generals have arranged outside Guo

A farewell banquet. Xuande and Xu Shu rode out of the city and arrived at Changting, dismounting and bidding farewell. Xuande raised his glass and said to Xu Shu, "The preparation is shallow and the connection is thin,

Cannot meet with the gentleman. Mr. Wang, please do good deeds for the new owner, in the name of success. ”Shu wept and said, 'I have a little talent and shallow wisdom, but I am deeply grateful to you.'.

Unfortunately, we parted ways halfway, which is actually due to our old mother's fault. Despite being forced by Cao Cao, the commoner never devised a plan for life. ”Xuande said, "Sir, since

Go, Liu Bei will also flee far into the mountains and forests. ”The commoner said, "Therefore, the one who shares the ambition of kingship with the servant relies on this square inch of ear; now he is old

Due to the mother's fault, everything is in chaos, and even here, it is of no use. I suggest that you do not seek the assistance of wise men and work together towards great things. Why should you be discouraged like this

Xuande said, "There is no great sage in the world who can produce a great master." The scholar replied, "A certain oak tree is mediocre, how dare it be so highly praised

Don't, "Gu said to the generals," May all the officials do good deeds for you, hoping to establish your reputation and make your achievements famous in history. Do not serve the common people forever.

”All generals are filled with sadness. Xuande couldn't bear to part ways, so he gave up one journey and another. The humble servant said, 'I will not trouble you to send me away from afar, and I will do so.'

a farewell. ”Xuande immediately held the hand of the commoner and said, "Sir, we are going to different places. We don't know when we will meet!" After speaking, tears streamed down his face

Like rain falling. Shu also shed tears and bid farewell. Xuande immediately stood by the forest, watching Xu Shu ride his horse and hurriedly leave with his followers. Xuande cried and said, "Yuan Zhi

Go on! What will I do? ”Looking with tears in her eyes, she was separated by a forest. Xuande pointed with a whip and said, "I want to cut down all the trees here

Why do people ask. Xuande said, "Because it obstructs my gaze towards Xu Yuanzhi

Just as I was looking, I suddenly saw Xu Shu galloping back. Xuande said, "Yuan Zhi has returned, does he have no intention of leaving?" Then he happily rode forward to greet the question

He said, "Sir, this time there must be an idea." Shulema said to Xuande, "Because my heart was so numb, I forgot one sentence: There is something strange here

Shi, only twenty miles outside Xiangyang City in Longzhong. Why don't you ask for it? ”Xuande said, "Dare to trouble Yuan Zhi and invite him to meet you as a precaution

He said, "This person cannot be compromised. Your Majesty may personally seek him out. If you obtain this person, it will be no different from Zhou obtaining Lv Wang and Han obtaining Zhang Liang

How can this person compare to the gentleman in terms of talent and virtue? "Shu said," To compare him to someone else, it's like a horse with a qilin and a raven with phoenix ears

Comparing oneself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi; In my opinion, management and enjoyment are almost inferior to this person. This person has extraordinary talent and is the only one in the world!

”Xuande Xi said, "I would like to hear the name of this person." Shu said, "This person is from Langya Yangdu, with the surname Zhuge, the name Liang, and the courtesy name Kongming,

After Zhuge Feng, the Colonel of the Imperial Secretariat of the Han Dynasty. His father, whose name is 珪珪珪珪, and whose name is Zi Gong, died early as a county official in Mount Taishan; Liang follows his uncle Xuan. Xuan and Jingzhou

Liu Jingsheng had an old family, so he moved to Xiangyang to follow him. After the death of Hou Xuan, Liang and his younger brother Zhuge all worked hard in Nanyang. Taste it well as' Liang Father's Song '

》. There is a hill in the place where he resides, named Wolong Hill, because he calls himself Mr. Wolong. This person is an unparalleled genius, making it urgent for you to see him in vain

If this person is willing to assist, why worry about the uncertainty of the world! ”Xuande said, "In the past, Mr. Shuijing once said as a prepared remark: 'Fulong and Fengchu,

If two people get one, the world can be peaceful. ’Is the current cloud referring to the Fu Long and Feng Chu? ”Shu said, "Fengchu is the Pang Tong of Xiangyang. Fu Long

It is Zhuge Kongming. ”Xuande enthusiastically said, "I only learned the language of the Fu Long and Feng Chu today. When will the great sages only be present at this moment? It's not just a teacher's words

Be prepared as if blind! ”Later generations praised Xu Shu for riding horses and recommended a poem by Zhuge, saying: 'I hate Gao Xian no longer, and I weep and bid farewell to him at Linqi.'.

A few words are like a spring thunder tremor, capable of causing a dragon to rise in Nanyang. ”Xu Shu recommended Kong Ming, bid farewell to Xuande, and rode away on horseback. Xuande heard about Xu Shuzhi

The words of Sima Dechao are like waking up after getting drunk, like a dream of enlightenment. Bring the generals back to Xinye, then have thick coins and go to Tongguan and Zhangqian

Nanyang, please invite Kong Ming.

Let's talk about Xu Shu, who had bid farewell to Xuande and felt his longing for him. He was afraid that Kong Ming would not go out of the mountains to assist him, so he rode a horse straight to the foot of Wolonggang and went into a thatched cottage to meet him

kong ming. Kong Ming asked about his purpose. Shu said, "I originally intended to serve Liu Yuzhou, but Nai Laomu was imprisoned by Cao Cao. I sent a letter to summon her, so I had to give up

And towards. When leaving, recommend the public to Xuande. Xuande will pay his respects today, and I hope that you will not obstruct him, and instead showcase your great talents to assist him,

Fortunately! ”Kong Ming made a gesture upon hearing these words and said, "You have chosen me as a sacrifice to enjoy!" After speaking, he brushed his sleeve and walked in. Humble and ashamed, retreat, go up

Ma Yucheng went to Xuchang to meet his mother. Exactly: I advise my friend to travel thousands of miles home for the sake of loving the Lord. I don't know what will happen next, see below
