Chapter Thirteen Zhuge Kongming
"Let's go, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Zhou Mo urged.
"Where to go?"
"Go back and study." Zhou Mo said, "Who just promised me that if I lose at chess, I will go back and study for three days. Once a man has said something, it is hard to follow him, and he has forgotten it?"
Liu Chan wanted to regret it, but suddenly he remembered the burning feeling of having his ears held up just now, and realized that Zhou Mo was not as afraid of his status as the prince like Lai Min, and it was useless to threaten him, so he had no choice but to give up.
Returning to the Prince's Palace, Jia Ling Laimin saw Liu Chan and others following Zhou Mo, like a few defeated little roosters, returning to the study in despair to study. He was surprised and speechless. He couldn't help but feel sorry for this newcomer.
The prince Pu She fell to the ground in admiration.
Entering the study, Liu Chan and others pretended to open a scroll of slips in front of them, but except for Dong Yun, the others were not focused on the book at all.
When they found that there was no movement outside and the figures were no longer wandering around, Zhou Mo seemed to have left, and whispers began in the study.
Huo Yi said with a smile: "The prince once said that he is not afraid of heaven or earth. In the whole world, he is afraid of only two people, one is your majesty and the other is Prime Minister Zhuge. In my opinion, I am afraid that more will be added to this list in the future.
Alone."
"Huo Shaoxian, your skin is itchy again, right?" Liu Chan said angrily.
Fei Yi said: "In my opinion, Mr. Zhou is more powerful than your Majesty and the Prime Minister. Your Majesty has gone to fight and has not seen anyone for more than a year. The Prime Minister is busy with official duties and may not be able to come for ten days and a half.
Reply. Mr. Zhou is the servant of the prince this time, and it is his job to supervise the prince’s studies. He has to come every day. I think our good days are coming to an end."
"Fei Wenwei, do you even talk to outsiders?" Liu Chan said, "And you, Dong Xiuzhao, you are the one who led him to us. You two are so good, you are really good brothers of this prince.
Ah, when Zhou Mo comes, he doesn’t care about the friendship between us for many years, and all of them bend their elbows outward, which is chilling."
With a "bang", the door was kicked open.
Zhou Mo stood outside the door.
There was total silence.
He just pretended to leave on purpose, but he was actually imitating his high school teacher, hiding behind the door and eavesdropping.
Don't tell me, this feeling is quite a bit of pleasure. No wonder every class teacher likes to do this.
Liu Chan looked at his nose and heart with his eyes and nose, pretending to read a book. Zhou Mo slowly walked to Liu Chan's side and suddenly said: "Prince, do you know that the battle on the front line has been defeated?"
"I've heard a few things," Liu Chan said. "But my father once said that victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists..."
"The entire army of 50,000 was wiped out." Zhou Mo interrupted him, "The corpses of soldiers drifted down the Yangtze River, blocking the waterway. The blood dyed the surface of the river red. The 50,000 army actually escaped.
, not even five thousand."
"Impossible!" Several young men expressed surprise. Although they also heard that the front line suffered a defeat, they did not expect that the losses would be so heavy.
"This is what I have seen with my own eyes, what has happened." Zhou Mo said, "Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even His Majesty himself managed to escape Soochow's pursuit and interception and returned to Yong'an Palace. He almost died.
Became a prisoner of Soochow."
"What?! My father almost became a prisoner?" Liu Chan felt a little incredible.
"Yes. This kind of thing is not trivial. How dare I deceive you?" Zhou Mo calmed down and continued, "Do you know? The current situation in the country is already very serious."
Several young people nodded thoughtfully.
"Prince, let me ask you a question. If His Majesty is really captured by Soochow this time, then you will become the new emperor of our Han Empire. Do you think you can shoulder this important task?"
"I, I." Liu Chan hesitated, "I haven't thought about this problem yet. But with the prime minister and a group of ministers here, I just need to make good use of these wise ministers, which should be the case, and it is possible."
"Then you continue to stay in the harem, not studying hard, and all you think about is playing gambling and fighting crickets?" Zhou Mo asked: "Think about it again, what if one day, even the prime minister is no longer here?
What should you do?"
"Sir, I understand, I want to study hard." Liu Chan held it in for a long time and finally said something.
"Okay." Zhou Mo said: "Although reading is not a panacea that can cure all diseases, a good attitude is always a good start."
After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the study.
This time the lecture finally had an effect.
Although there is no one to supervise the study anymore, the young men are all reading seriously and no longer laughing and joking.
Dong Yun and Fei Yi were particularly fascinated by the "Book of Han". Huo Yi was only interested in military books such as "Six Tao".
As for the prince Liu Chan, he would read this book and that one, scratching his head and head from time to time, sweating profusely. Although he seemed to have worked very hard, he always looked at the back and forgot the front, and could not remember any of the content.
Come face to face.
……
The next day, Zhou Mo came to the Shangshutai, the state capital's residence, in Dacheng, Chengdu, and met with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang was born tall and tall, and walked with a breath of wind. Although his appearance was not as handsome as in movies and TV shows, he had a majestic and upright air while being gentle and elegant.
In particular, his eyes were wise and sharp, and seemed to have the power to see through everything. Sitting next to Zhuge Liang, Zhou Mo always felt that he, who was usually so eloquent, did not dare to tell a lie.
"I have long heard about the deeds of my master who defeated the Wu army at Shimen Mountain and Guandu Pass. I have been longing for him for a long time. Today I am lucky enough to see my true face. He is indeed an extraordinary young hero." Zhuge Liang's words made people feel like a spring breeze.

"The Prime Minister is so complimentary. You are just a trivial person, how dare you do it in front of the Prime Minister?"
"There is no need to be modest in your steps. In my opinion, your strategy not only has profound insights into the root of the problem, but also has the flexibility and ingenuity to adapt to local conditions. It has the charm of the law, filial piety and uprightness. Although the lord was defeated by Yiling, he still has the ability to win.
You alone are enough to prove that God will not destroy my great man, and God will never stop the path of man."
"I hope the Prime Minister will give you more guidance in the future."
After a few words of greeting, the topic gradually turned to the current situation. Zhuge Liang could not help but frown, and sighed repeatedly: "The defeat of Yiling, the heavy losses, every time I think of it, it makes people sigh. I returned from the front line,
I wonder what the situation is like ahead? Does Your Majesty plan to move back to Chengdu when?"
Zhou Mo knew that Liu Bei in history had stayed in Baidi City until his death and never returned to Chengdu since his defeat in Yiling.
At the beginning, Liu Bei really had the idea of sitting on the front line personally to strengthen the defense and prevent Wu from going further. But after a month or two, his body began to deteriorate extremely, and his condition no longer allowed him to work hard on the boat.
Even if he wants to go back to Chengdu, he can no longer go back.
Zhou Mo was not prepared to hide the truth of these things from Zhuge Liang. He considered how to tell these historical truths in a reasonable way and at the right time. After all, the purpose of speaking is to make people believe. Now you say that Sima Yi wants to
Kill Cao Shuang and Sima Yan will dominate the world. People will only have question marks on their heads and treat you as a fool.
After thinking about it, Zhou Mo said: "The war on the front line is not a problem. Although the confrontation is still ongoing, I predict that Cao Pi will go south to attack Soochow soon, and Soochow will retreat."
"Liang also thinks so." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, but did not ask in detail.
"As for when your Majesty will return to Chengdu..." Zhou Mo suddenly lowered his voice and said to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, I think your Majesty will not come back to Chengdu."
