Chapter 128

Zhang Xiu got the upper hand. She was not aggressive, and her tone was indifferent. She continued: "I'm afraid some people will not accept my explanation just now. They say that the territory occupied by the Huns is under Zhang Xiu's rule. If I don't resist, who will? Right

Liu Cong said: "you have self-knowledge!"

He stemmed his neck, a pair of you Zhang Xiu is also a wise expression. Where can he think of that? It's just that Zhang Xiu said so. Naturally, he went down.

Zhang Xiu said solemnly: "Nanyang County is really under my rule. I should resist it. But is it one thing to dare to meet the Huns? Whether the Huns can be completely annihilated is another matter. I not only dare to fight the Huns, but also can annihilate them. None of the Huns who came to Nanyang County escaped and died in Wan county. I can be regarded as a great hero. "

Liu Cong was dumb.

It's all around the Huns. What can he do?

Liu Cong was also quick witted. He raised his head and said, "hum, even if you beat the Huns and win. But do you have the ambition of brother Kong Ming? "

"Where is your ambition?"

Zhang Xiu disdains to say: "I stay at home all day, but I don't want to be an official to benefit the people. I still say that I compare myself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi. I don't disdain people who want to help the world but don't take action."

"In my opinion, such a boastful person can't even compare with a small county magistrate or county magistrate. The county magistrate and the county prime minister still govern one side, protect the territory and pacify the people. "

"Did he do anything?"

"Nothing

Zhang Xiu said: "in the short time when I arrived in Nanyang County, I punished the corrupt officials, dealt with the treacherous people, and made the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"In my opinion, no matter what your ambition is, it's always the attic in the air. A man who can be down-to-earth and pragmatic and work for the welfare of the people is the real hero. "

"They try their best to serve the people."

"They are heroes!"

"Although many people can't remember them, they are great heroes and unsung heroes."

"Don't do evil small, don't do good small and don't do it."

"Great heroes have great ambitions, but they can't be reluctant to become officials just because their starting point is low."

Zhang Xiu's words became sharper and sharper. She said, "brother Qi and brother Cong, do you think what I said just now is reasonable?"

"Gudong!"

Liu Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

In front of Zhang Xiu, he found that he had no room to refute. He was even more glad that Liu Cong was not the one who asked back just now.

Liu Cong's cheek twitched and hummed, and he stopped talking.

It's true that you can't win!

Liu Biao sighed when he saw that his two sons had no fighting power and were not Zhang Xiu's opponents. He just took the talk and said with a smile: "Jiang Ping, Liu Qi and Liu Cong are two smelly boys. They are young, so they are influenced by people. Please forgive me."

Zhang Xiu said: "what's the matter here? It's all brothers. What's more, there are some arguments. That's normal. After the argument, it's over. Laugh it off. "

Liu Biao said, "well said!"

Liu Qi and Liu Cong bowed their heads and stopped talking.

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed, but she didn't intend to expose it.

Because the two brothers were obviously influenced by Zhuge Liang, he didn't want to. At the very least, Zhuge Liang should not be allowed to exert any more influence on the two brothers, making them become outstanding.

Zhang Xiu said: "brother Qi and brother Cong, I still have some heartfelt words about you and Zhuge Liang. I don't know if you would like to hear them?"

Liu Biao said, "Jiang Ping, it's OK to say so."

Liu Cong and Liu Qi stare at each other solemnly.

Liu Qi said: "brother, please say it!"

Liu Cong also said: "please say!"

Liu Biao said, "since you two brothers think that Kong Ming is a great hero. I think you must often talk with Kong Ming on weekdays, right? "

"Yes

Both Liu Qi and Liu Cong answered.

Liu Qi didn't say anything more. Instead, it was Liu Cong, who added: "Kong Ming's thinking is meticulous and his words are very convincing. His remarks are really refreshing. "

Zhang Xiu said with a light smile: "this is a refreshing speech. Let me ask you what you have gained from your conversation with Kong Ming? Besides being convinced, what did you get? "

Liu Qi opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but when the words came to his mouth, it seemed that there was nothing to say.

It seems that I really don't know what it is.

Liu Cong searched in his mind, but he didn't know how to say it after thinking about it, because the usual talks and quotations were all about the imperial court.

What are the eunuchs, the tyranny of Dong Zhuo and so on

This is known to all.

It is very convincing to say it from Zhuge Liang's mouth.With a smile, Zhang Xiu continued: "let me put it another way. When you talked with Zhuge Liang, did you get any methods of governing government affairs, what specific methods of using troops, and even what skills of defending people?"

"No!"

Liu Qi shakes her head and answers.

Zhuge Liang never touched on specific matters.

Liu Cong also gave a dry smile.

Zhang Xiu continued: "I always think that talking about things is harmful to the country and doing things to prosper the country. It doesn't make any sense to just talk, but never act. What's more, Zhuge Liang is very talented. He has a strategic mind. He knows the truth of governing the country and the method of marching and arraying. Has he ever taught you anything? " ,

"no!"

"You didn't get anything, and he didn't say anything."

"Because it's no use saying that."

"Only by talking freely and quoting classics can we show people's abilities. So when he talks to you, it's all talk. "

"It's just that in my opinion, I have to work hard to do things. Even small things can be called great heroes."

Zhang Xiu said, "don't do it with small evil, and don't do it with small good. Do you think so?"

"Yes

Liu Qi and Liu Cong answered at the same time.

They both shrugged their heads and were dejected. They did not dare to argue with Zhang Xiu any more.

It's really a debate with Zhang Xiu. It's self abuse.

In particular, Zhang Xiu and Zhuge Liang were so eloquent that they could not refute.

Liu Biao is also in the spotlight.

Zhang Xiu's last words are very good.

Don't do evil small, don't do good small.

Well said.

Zhang Xiu digs away and no longer mentions the great hero. She looks at Liu Biao and says, "uncle, what I said just now is a bit heavy. It may have hit the two brothers. Please forgive me."

Liu Biao said: "Haihan what, these two silly boys, were played around."

He was a little angry.

Because the two sons were both aggrieved by Zhuge Liang, they were obviously influenced by Zhuge Liang.

But Zhuge Liang did not pay attention to Jingzhou.

Liu Biao also admired Zhuge Liang, praised his ability and command, but from the beginning to the end, Zhuge Liang never thought of staying in Jingzhou or entering Jingzhou as an official.

Because Zhuge Liang has a high ambition.

Liu Biao once solicited Zhuge Liang to become an official, but Zhuge Liang refused.

Obviously, I don't like Jingzhou.

But his two silly sons, also a pair of ideas for Zhuge Liang injustice.

Liu Qi is a modest gentleman. When he heard Liu Biao's words, he said, "father, Kong Ming never asked us to do anything for him. Just a moment ago, I mentioned Kong Ming. "

Although Liu Cong was more shrewd, he also said, "elder brother, it's reasonable. We just mentioned brother Jiang Ping's affairs, but we didn't hold injustice for brother Kong Ming."

Two brothers, still trust Zhuge Liang.

The more they said that, the more angry Liu Biao was.

Liu Biao pointed to his two sons and opened his mouth to scold them. However, when he got to his mouth, he swallowed it again. He was a little frustrated, so he stopped persuading them.

It's too much to say.

Liu Biao ordered his servants to have a banquet.

The servants of the family, one by one, came in with delicious food and wine, and put them on the table one by one.

Liu Biao personally accompanies him, persuades him to drink, and pushes the cup with others. It's very lively. In addition, with CAI Mao on the side, it is also an active release of goodwill. It can be said that both the guests and the host are happy.

The party didn't end until late at night.
