Who knows the vernacular text about the verbal battle between heroes in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

The following is the translation of the debate between Kong Ming and the counselors:

Lu Su reported back to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan arranged to summon civil and military officials to his tent the next day, and invited Mr. Wolong to come and discuss matters in the hall. .

The next day, Lu Su went to the post house to pick up Kong Ming and take him to Sun Quan's tent. Kongming saw Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and a group of more than 20 civil and military officials, E Guanbo and others, sitting upright in their clothes. Kong Ming greeted them one by one, and then sat down in the guest seats.

Zhang Zhao and others saw that Zhuge Kongming was full of energy and his weapons were majestic, so they expected that he must be here to lobby. Zhang Zhao took the lead and asked Kong Ming: "I, Zhang Zhao, am a small person in Jiangdong. I have long heard that my husband is taller than Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Is there such a thing?"

Kong Ming He replied: "This is just a small comparison of Liang's life."

Zhang Zhaodao: "I recently heard that Mr. Liu Bei and Liu Yuzhou were visiting Mr. Liu in the thatched cottage. Fortunately, he found him. I thought' You are like a fish in water, so you want to sweep Jingxiang. Now Jingxiang has suddenly belonged to Cao Cao. I wonder what your intentions are."

Kong Ming thought to himself: Zhang Zhao is Sun Quan's number one adviser. If you don't first If it stumps him, how can he convince Sun Quan? So he replied: "In my opinion, it is easy for my lord to seize the land of Han Dynasty. My lord Liu Bei is humble and benevolent and cannot bear to take away the inheritance of his brothers from the same clan, so he gave up Jingzhou. Liu Cong is a child, and he is allowed to listen to sycophants. , surrendered privately, causing Cao Cao to become rampant. Now our Lord has a good plan for stationing troops in Jiangxia, which is not something that ordinary people can understand."

Zhang Zhao said: "If this is the case, sir. It's self-contradictory.

Mr. Guan Zhong assisted Duke Huan to dominate the princes and unified the world; Le Yi supported the weak Yan State and captured more than 70 cities in Qi State.

p>

These two people are both talented in helping the world! But Mr. can only smile proudly in the wind and moon in the thatched cottage and sit in danger with his knees folded. Now that he is working for Liu Bei, he should seek benefits for the people and eliminate harm. Thief. However, before Liu Bei got his husband, he was still able to dominate the world and seize the city. Now that he has got his husband, people look up to him even more. Even a three-year-old boy said that Liu Bei is more powerful than a tiger. Soon the Han Dynasty will prosper and Cao Cao will be destroyed. . Everyone in the government and the public is waiting to see what happened, and they have great hopes for you. But since you followed Liu Bei, when Cao Bing came, you threw away your armor, fled to the wind, abandoned Xinye, went to Fancheng, defeated Dangyang, and rushed to Xia. There is no place for them to live up to Liu Biao's wishes. So why has Liu Yuzhou become worse than before after having a husband?

——My words are foolish and straightforward, sir, please don’t take offense!”

After hearing this, Kong Ming smiled silently and said: “The great roc spreads its wings and flies thousands of miles away. Is it possible that those little sparrows can recognize its ambitions?” For example, if a person has been suffering from a chronic illness for many years, he should first drink some gruel and take it together with the medicine. After his lungs and abdomen are harmonized and his body gradually becomes more stable, he can then be nourished with meat and add strong potency. Only in this way can the root cause of the disease be eradicated and the person can fully recover. If the patient's Qi pulse is not relaxed before giving him strong medicine and strong-flavored food, it will be really difficult to achieve peace. My lord Liu Bei was defeated in the past. In Runan, he stayed under Liu Biao's family, with less than a thousand soldiers, and only Guan, Zhang and Zhao Yun. It seemed that he was seriously ill and the small county of Xinye was remote and there were few people and food. He was just taking advantage of it temporarily. How could Anshen sit there for a long time? But even in such a situation, he could burn Bowang and flood Cao's army, making Xiahou Dun and others frightened. In my opinion, it was Guan Zhong and Le Yi who used their troops. That's all. As for Liu Cong's surrender to Cao Cao, Yuzhou didn't know at the time, and couldn't bear to take advantage of the chaos to seize the same clan's inheritance. After Dangyang's defeat, Yuzhou couldn't bear to leave its people behind, and hundreds of thousands of people helped the old and young to cross the river with him. He traveled more than ten miles with the people every day and gave up the pursuit of Jiangling. How generous and righteous! In the past, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was defeated by Xiang Yu many times, but he won a decisive victory in the battle of Gaixia. , isn't it because Han Xin made good plans for him? But Han Xin helped Liu Bang for so long, but he didn't win many times.

Therefore, it is said that major national affairs and the safety of the world depend on planning. Those who are rhetorical and good at eloquence rely on their vanity to suppress others; although they can sit and discuss and stand up and talk loudly, when the critical moment comes to cope with various changes in the situation, nothing can be done.

——This is what the world is really laughing at! "Kong Ming's words left Zhang Zhao with no answer.

At this time, one of the people suddenly asked loudly: "Now Cao Gong has millions of troops stationed and thousands of generals, and he is eager to crush them. , Devouring Jiangxia, what do you think you should do? "

Kong Ming looked around and saw that it was Yu Fan. Kong Ming said: "Cao Cao took over Yuan Shao's army and robbed Liu Biao's mob. Although there are millions of troops, there is nothing to fear. "

Upon hearing this, Yu Fan sneered and said: "Your army was defeated in Dangyang, your plan was defeated in Xiakou, you just asked for help from others, and you still said 'not afraid', this is really shameless! "

Kong Ming said: "Isn't Liu Bei able to resist millions of cruel people with only a few thousand benevolent and righteous teachers? The purpose of retreating to Xiakou was to wait for a better time. But now, you Jiangdong soldiers are well-prepared, and you have the natural danger of the Yangtze River, but some people still want your lord Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao's thieves, regardless of the ridicule of the people in the world. ——From this point of view, is Liu Bei afraid of Cao Cao? "Yu Fan was left speechless.

Another person in the audience asked: "Does Mr. Kong Ming want to follow Zhang Yi and Su Qin's example in lobbying us Soochow? "

Kong Ming saw it was Bu Lu and replied: "Mr. Bu Zishan thought that Zhang Yi and Su Qin were debaters, but he probably didn't know that they were also heroes; Su Qin wears the seal of the Six Kingdoms. Zhang Yi served as the prime minister of Qin twice. He was a counselor who helped the country. He was not comparable to those who were afraid of the strong and bully the weak, and who were afraid of swords and guns. You just listened to Cao Cao's false words and were so frightened that you wanted to surrender. How dare you laugh at Su Qin and Zhang Yi here? "

Bu Lu was also asked and was speechless.

Suddenly, someone asked again: "Who does Kong Ming think Cao Cao is? "

Kongming saw that the man was Xue Zong, and replied: "Cao Cao is a Han thief. Do you still need to ask?" "

Xue Zong said: "Sir, what you said is wrong. From the Han Dynasty to the present, the days are about to end. Now Duke Cao owns two-thirds of the world, and everyone is devoted to him. Liu Bei didn't understand the situation and wanted to fight with him. It was like hitting an egg against a stone. How could he not be defeated? "

Kong Ming said sternly at this time: "How can Xue Jingwen say that there is no emperor, minister, father and son, no high and low ethics? Life is between heaven and earth, and loyalty and filial piety should be the foundation of one's life. Since Mr. Xue is a minister of the Han Dynasty, but he has disobedient intentions, he should give up these thoughts, which is the right way to serve as a minister. Cao Cao's ancestors were rich in Han Dynasty, but did not want to repay the filial piety to the Han Dynasty. Instead, they had the heart to usurp power and rebelliousness, which made everyone in the world hate him. However, Duke Xue said that Cao Cao was destined to die. He was really a man without a father, no king, and no integrity! I don't need to talk to you, please don't say more! "Xue Zong was ashamed and had nothing to say.

Another person in the seat asked: "Although Cao Cao holds the emperor hostage to order the princes, after all, he is also a descendant of Cao Shen, the prime minister. Although Liu Bei claimed to be a descendant of the so-called King Jing of Zhongshan, there was no verification. What people saw with their own eyes was that he was just a layman who weaved straw mats and sold straw sandals. What qualifications did he have to compete with Cao Cao? "

Kong Ming looked and saw that it was Lu Ji. Kong Ming laughed and said, "Since Cao Cao is a descendant of Cao Xiangguo, it proves that he has been a Han official for generations, but now he holds the royal power. To act wantonly and deceive the emperor is not only to have no emperor, but also to despise the ancestors. He is not only a rebellious official of the Han Dynasty, but also a traitor of the Cao family. Liu Bei is an upright member of the Han Dynasty. The current emperor bestowed upon him an official title based on the ancestral genealogy of the Emperor Shizong. Why do you say, "There is no way to investigate"? Besides, Emperor Gaozu started his career as a mere pavilion chief, so why should we be ashamed of weaving mats and selling shoes? I think you are really childish, how can you argue with Gaoshi! " Lu Ji couldn't help but keep his mouth shut.

Another person at the table said: "What Kong Ming said are all strong words and not serious talk at all. There is no need to say any more.

I just want to ask if there are any classics written by Kong Ming? "

Kong Ming looked at him seriously and said: "Looking for chapters and excerpting sentences is the work of the pedantic Confucian scholars in the world. How can we build a country based on this? In ancient times, Xin Yiyin who worked hard at farming, Jiang Ziya who fished in the Weishui River, and famous scholars such as Zhang Liang and Deng Yu did not have any classic works by them. ——Could it be said that you just imitate those rotten scholars all day long, just between pens and inkstones, talking about bad things and bad things, and dancing in writing? "Jian Yan was dejected and unable to answer.

Suddenly a man said loudly: "Zhuge Gong likes to talk big words, but he may not have real talent and learning. I am afraid that he will be laughed at by literati and scholars. "

When Kong Ming saw that the man was Cheng Deshu, he replied: "Literati and scholars can be divided into gentlemen and villains. As a gentleman, a scholar is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, upholds justice, hates evil and sycophants, and tries his best to make his own contribution to the times, and his reputation will be passed down to future generations. As a villain, scholars only practice small skills and devote themselves to writing. They write poems when they are young and finish reciting all the scriptures when they are old. Even though there are a thousand words in the writing, there is no real strategy in mind. Just like Yang Xiong, although he was famous for his articles, he succumbed to the hands of reckless robbers, had no choice but to jump off the building to his death. This is the so-called Confucianism of villains. Even if he recites poems and composes tens of thousands of poems every day, what's the use! "Cheng Deshu couldn't deal with it anymore.

When everyone saw Kong Ming's fluent answers, they all turned pale with panic.

At this time, there were still people in the audience who wanted to question Kong Ming, and suddenly someone walked in from outside. , said sternly: "Kong Ming is a prodigy in this world, and it is not a courtesy for you to treat each other with words. Cao Cao's army is pressing down on the border. Instead of discussing a retreat strategy, you are just bickering here! When everyone saw it, it was Huang Gai, Huang Gongfu, the grain inspector. Huang Gai said to Kong Ming, "Sir, why don't you tell my lord about the theory of gold and stone?" "

Kong Ming said: "You are ignorant of current affairs and ask each other questions, and you can't tolerate me not answering. "

So Huang Gai and Lu Su took Kong Ming into the middle gate, and happened to meet Zhuge Jin. Kong Ming gave his brother a gift. Zhuge Jin said: "Since my dear brother has come to Jiangdong, why don't you come to see me? Woolen cloth? "

Kong Ming said: "I have assisted Liu Bei, so I should put public affairs first before private affairs. Don't dare to interfere with private matters until the official business is done. Please forgive me, brother. "

Zhuge Jin said: "My dear brother paid homage to the Marquis of Wu and came to my place to talk. "After that, he left.

Lu Su told Kong Ming: "When you see my lord today, don't say that Cao Cao has many soldiers. "

Kong Ming said with a smile: "Liang Zi will adapt to changes. "

When they came to the lobby, Sun Quan came down the steps to greet him. He served him generously and asked Kong Ming to sit down. The civil and military officials lined up on both sides, and Lu Su stood beside Kong Ming. Kong Ming saw Sun Quan's blue eyes and purple hair. He had a dignified appearance and thought to himself that this man had an unusual appearance, so he could only use words to motivate him, not just reason. So when Sun Quan asked Cao Cao how many troops he had, Sun Quan said: "There are more than one million." Are you trying to deceive us? "Kong Ming then added Cao Cao's original troops, plus the new troops from Yuan Shao, Zhongyuan and Jingzhou, to no less than 1.5 million. He just said one million because he was afraid of scaring the people in Jiangdong; Moreover, Cao Cao's generals and counselors numbered less than 1,000. When Lu Su heard this, he became panicked and quickly winked at Kong Ming to stop him. At this time, Kong Ming just pretended not to see it and asked again: "Cao Cao is defeated." Is there any other plot in the land of Jingchu? "

Kong Ming said: "He has now set up camp along the river and prepared warships. If he doesn't want to take the east of your river, where does he want to take it? "

Sun Quan said: "If he really wants to annex, sir, please think about what to do for me. "

Kong Ming said: "Liang has a word, I'm afraid the general will not listen. Nowadays, Cao Cao is extremely powerful and powerful throughout the country. Even if he is a hero, he has no place to use himself and cannot help him. A general should act according to his ability. If he has the ability to compete with Cao Cao, it is better to eliminate him as soon as possible; if he is unable to resist, it is better to follow the advice of the counselors and surrender to Cao Cao.

Now, the general says he wants to surrender, but in his heart he doesn't want to surrender. The situation is critical, but he still can't make up his mind. A catastrophe is about to happen! "

Sun Quan said: "If it is like what Mr. said, why didn't Liu Bei surrender to Cao Cao? "

Kong Ming said: "In the past, strong men like Tian Heng and Qi Zhi could stick to their righteousness and not tolerate humiliation. What's more, Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty - it was God's will that things failed. How could he do it himself? Just succumb to others first! "

After hearing what Kong Ming said, Sun Quan's expression suddenly changed. He stood up and walked away. When everyone saw it, they all laughed and left.

Lu Su blamed Kong Ming said: "Why did Sir say such a thing?

Fortunately, our lord is magnanimous and does not blame you face to face. Your words are too contemptuous of him.

Kong Ming looked up and smiled: "Why should we be so intolerant!" I have my own plan to defeat Cao Cao. If he doesn't ask me, how can I dare to say it? "

Lu Su said hurriedly: "It turns out that sir has a good idea. I will ask the lord to come and ask you for advice.

Kong Ming said: "I think Cao Cao's million-strong army is just a group of small ants. As long as I raise my hand, they will all turn into powder." "

After Lu Sujing said this, he immediately went to the back hall to see Sun Quan. When Sun Quan heard this, his anger turned into joy and said: "It turns out that he is irritating me with his words. "So he came out to exchange apologies with Kong Ming and ask for advice.

Kong Ming said: "Although Liu Bei has been newly defeated, Guan Yunchang still has ten thousand elite soldiers; Liu Qi also has ten thousand people in Jiangxia. Although Cao's troops were many, they came from afar and were exhausted from the battle. As the saying goes, 'at the end of a strong crossbow, the force cannot penetrate Lu's silk'. And northerners were not used to water battles. The people of Jingzhou relied on Cao Cao because of the situation at the time, not out of their original wishes. If the general can sincerely form an alliance with Liu Bei now, he will definitely succeed in defeating Cao Cao. Cao's army was defeated and naturally retreated to the north. Then the power of Jingzhou and Soochow was strengthened, and a three-legged situation was formed. The key to success or failure is now, it depends on the general's decision. ”
