A Tale of Romantic Encounters in the Three Kingdoms [Complete]

Chapter 001 An Unexpected Journey This place is a tourist hotspot, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. There's a Taoist temple on the front mountain, teeming with tourists.
Sigh, tourism has truly become fashionable these days. Coming here for peace and quiet in this season is practically a pipe dream. I finally managed to squeeze into the temple and
found a young Taoist priest in the back hall.
"Excuse me, where is Wei Dao?"
I asked.
The young priest looked up at me.
"What do you want with Wei Dao?"
It was clear Wei Dao was quite respected.
"Oh, we're friends. I've come specifically to visit a friend today."
The young priest looked a little puzzled; after all, Wei Dao was nearing sixty, how could he have such a young friend?
"He's on the back mountain now. He thought it was too noisy here, so he moved there last year."
The young priest was a very helpful person. "Give him his cell phone number, it's—"
These days, even old Taoist priests have cell phones! How can they concentrate on their practice?
I'm a person with a rather complicated past and a wide social circle. These days, doing business requires making many friends; more friends mean more opportunities. Old Master Wei is no ordinary
person; you could say he's a master of I Ching studies. Bad luck struck, this financial crisis hit, so I came to the old Taoist priest for guidance.
The back mountain is a wonderful place, especially where Old Wei lives. A clear stream flows nearby, surrounded by flowers, fruit trees, and tranquility—a stark
contrast to the bustling city, truly a place for self-cultivation.
I made several phone calls to Old Wei, circling most of the back mountain, before finally arriving at his residence.
Old Wei was wearing a Taoist robe, just as I'd seen him two years ago, only his beard was whiter, and he looked quite robust.
"Young man, business's been good lately, hasn't it?"
Old Wei poured me a cup of tea.
Why would business be so good that I'd come here? I thought about it, but before I could say anything, I replied politely, "Not bad."
Old Wei took out some ancient bronze coins, of unknown dynasty, and handed them to me. These were divination tools. I pondered for a moment, then tossed the three coins six times. This
was the divination procedure.
Old Wei scribbled on the paper for a long time, then solemnly said, "Your fortune is bad, and there's also the possibility of bloodshed."
No way, could it be that bad? Good heavens, I've only had a few good days, I haven't even lived enough yet. For the sake of my so-called career, I'm still unmarried, how
can I be dying already? I couldn't help but feel dejected
. The old Taoist wasn't one to fool people. Over the years, I'd often encountered various setbacks in business, which were usually resolved with a few words from the old Taoist.
Of course, there were also psychological reasons; after all, one's mindset can often change the outcome of things.
"What should I do? Please give me some pointers,"
I asked with a smile, my face full of flattery.
That's the essence of a shrewd businessman; when you need something, a smile is the cheapest thing.
"How about this, you stay with me for a few days. Arrange things at the company first, and I'll prepare some Taoist talismans for you."
I didn't dare disobey the old Taoist; his words were very arrogant.
I made a few phone calls to arrange company business, letting those arrogant "sea turtles" keep busy. I could finally relax completely. I turned off my phone;
it 's
time to relax. Three days have passed, truly enjoyable. Old Dao really knows how to pick a place—quiet and not far from town. It's so nice; no endless social engagements,
no backstabbing. Ah, peace and quiet.
"Little Jin, keep this talisman safe; it might save your life,"
Old Wei said with a smile, holding a yellow piece of paper covered in red and green stripes.
I carefully hid the talisman close to my body.
"Keep it safe, kid; you might have a lucky encounter,"
he said with a hint of mystery in his smile.
This is the fifth day. People are so fickle; the novelty wore off after just a few days of leisure. Too much peace and quiet, without the glitz and glamour,
is hard to adjust to.
Let's go hiking; hiking is the most convenient form of exercise here.
Two hours later, we reached the peak of the back mountain. Unfortunately, the weather turned bad; the sky darkened as soon as we started climbing. Damn it, I'm definitely going to get soaked this time.
A flash of lightning, ugh.
Headache.
My first feeling upon regaining consciousness.
I think I'm not dead yet.
Where am I? I was just on a mountaintop, but now there's not even a mountain in sight. All I can see is a green field. I habitually check
my watch —damn, it's gone. Then I look at my clothes—it's a movie prop.
Who the hell tried to pull this on me? They're asking for it!
Let's go, let's find someone first.
It's getting dark, and I finally found a farmhouse.
The house is very simple, like a hut for a gardener in an orchard. The walls are made of branches, the walls are made of adobe, and the roof is a real thatched roof.
Finally, I saw someone. Through the gaps in the branches, I saw an old man chopping wood in the garden.
"Grandpa, this is—"
I started to say, but then I realized the old farmer was wearing ancient clothing, and I froze.
"Young master, I'm too ashamed to be called 'Grandpa',"
the old farmer said with a smile, bowing slightly as he saw my elegant attire.
"Where...where am I?"
"Young master, you seem lost. This place belongs to Wuling County. Go five li north from here for the official road, and then thirty li east for Wuling County City."
My mind went blank. Had I time-traveled? Had I accidentally time-traveled?
After confirming the possibility of time travel was over 99%, I felt a pang of melancholy. My friends and family were all in a distant, alternate time and space; a wave of worry washed over me—
how could I get back? Life in this era was so dull compared to modern life. Finally, a surge of excitement washed over me. After all, in this alternate time and space, I could use
modern civilization to create miracles, and perhaps even make a difference, changing history.
What's done is done. The first year of Zhongping—I've arrived in the Three Kingdoms period. Haha, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, I'll play with you, hehe, I'll kick your heads around like balls
. Of course, if I'm not careful, the chances of them kicking my head around like a ball are even higher.
I stayed overnight at an old farmer's house. Ouch, is that a bed? It's so uncomfortable my back hurts. That food, ah, it truly brought back memories of bitterness and sweetness.
Chapter 002: On the second morning after entering the mortal world, while washing up, I suddenly saw my reflection in the water.
Is that me? I stared at my reflection in the water, somewhat stunned.
Why am I getting smaller as I get older? Besides, I wasn't this handsome when I was young.
Being handsome is good enough, it's a good asset for picking up girls.
What exactly happened? I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so I decided to stop thinking about it and let things take their course.
After washing my face, I followed the direction the old farmer had indicated onto the official road, asked for directions, and headed towards Wuling.
There weren't many people on the official road, just a few scattered here and there. Usually pampered, I felt a bit tired after walking several miles.
Just then, several horsemen galloped towards me from the opposite direction of the official road. They were all dressed in short clothes, looking just like family members in an ancient drama.
With few people on the official road, my fancy clothes made me stand out. As soon as they saw me, they reined in their horses and hurried towards me.
Could I be so unlucky as to run into trouble with these thugs? I'm not afraid of fighting. I've been practicing martial arts since I was five, and I've won countless championships since I was a child. Come on, I'll
beat you to a pulp later.
"Young master, we've finally found you! The old lady was so worried at home."
The leader bowed respectfully and said. Then he turned to the old lady and said, "Jin Shou, quickly go back and tell the old lady that the young master has been found."
"I...you...you've mistaken me for someone else. "
No way, I don't know them.
"Young master, I am Jin Fu. What's wrong with you?"
The man looked me over carefully and seemed a little strange.
Riding a horse is much more enjoyable than walking. Looking at these burly servants, humph, since they're young masters, my status isn't low now. Forget about the truth, I'll deal with whatever comes my way
. I'll go and see for myself first.
"Sigh, sigh, I think I hit my head yesterday, and I can't remember anything. Tell me—"
But after being a cunning merchant for several years, heh heh, before even reaching Wuling, I've already figured out my origins in the Three Kingdoms era.
After all that, I've somehow wandered from many years in the future to the Three Kingdoms era, and changed my name to Jin Xuan.
In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Jin Xuan was a minor figure. The *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* recounts that Jin Xuan was the Prefect of Wuling. Zhang Fei led troops to seize Wuling, and Jin Xuan led his army into battle, but
was defeated and returned to the city. Gong Zhi, an official of Wuling, rebelled, occupied the city, and killed Jin Xuan with an arrow.
Heavens above, have you taken pity on Jin Xuan's tragic end in history, allowing me to come here to redeem him?
According to my servant, Jin Xuan was originally from Donglai in Beihai. His father was the Prefect of Wuling, who died three years ago. Because his father had managed things in Wuling for many years, the whole family settled there.
His mother, Huang, was from Nanyang and came from a prominent family. Jin Xuan was talented in both literature and martial arts. He studied literature under Sima Hui and martial arts under his maternal uncle, Huang Zhong. Yesterday, he had just undergone his coming-of-age ceremony. A relative
brought back a fine horse from Xiliang as a congratulatory gift for Jin Xuan. However, this horse was spirited, and in the afternoon, while testing it on the official road, it was startled. Jin Xuan, riding on it… Heavens above,
it seems his spirit possessed him. Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, one of Liu Bei's Five Tiger Generals, is actually his uncle! Haha, haha. Jin Xuan could
n't stop smiling. As soon as she entered the house, a burly man with a purple face, imposing appearance, and a tall and imposing figure, was none other than Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, who possessed the courage of ten thousand men and whose name was recorded in history. Huang Zhong helped
a middle-aged woman to come out to greet them. Jin Fu and the other servants bowed in unison, "Madam, Uncle."
Oh, so this is my mother, Huang Shi, and my uncle, Huang Zhong.
"Mother, Uncle, your son is unfilial and has worried you."
Jin Xuan (I) was really cocky, managing to act so convincingly in such a short time.
"It's good that you're alright. Alas, if anything had happened to you..."
Huang Shi couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Xuan'er is back now, let's go inside."
Huang Zhong said, helping Huang Shi walk towards the main room. ...The first day of my life in the world passed by in a daze. Jin Xuan (me), with my cunning businessman's nature, was truly
a master of disguise. Ha.
The truth will out. The next morning, I was finally exposed.
Early that morning, Jin Fu came to help me change into my training clothes, saying that my uncle wanted to teach me martial arts. Upon hearing this, Jin Xuan felt a headache coming on. It seemed there was no way to hide it
; I'd have to improvise on the training ground.
On the training ground, Jin Xuan fabricated a plausible lie.
"Uncle, I fell off my horse yesterday and injured my head. I can't remember many things. Besides Mother and you, I can't even remember the names of some family members.
I was afraid you and Mother would worry, so I didn't dare mention it yesterday. Please forgive me, Uncle. Also, please keep this a secret, Uncle, don't tell Mother."
Huang Zhong was a composed man, but upon hearing Jin Xuan's words, he couldn't help but feel anxious. After all, he was both my nephew and my apprentice. If he couldn't even recognize his family members and had no recollection
of , wasn't that the same as his martial arts being completely useless?
"Uncle, don't be impatient. How about this, you teach Xuan'er the martial arts again, and Xuan'er will definitely recover her skills as soon as possible."... Jin Xuan, with her silver
tongue, persuaded Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, who were staying in Wuling for their nephew's coming-of-age ceremony, to stay in Wuling and wholeheartedly teach her martial arts.
Fortunately, the ancient Jin Xuan already had more than ten years of internal strength and established techniques. Three months later, Jin Xuan (I) actually regained
the martial arts .
Huang Zhong's internal strength and martial arts were inherited from his ancestors. His internal strength was for strengthening the body, and his martial arts were powerful and suitable for battlefield combat. Ancient internal strength and martial arts were indeed
extraordinary. It seemed that the essence of ancient Chinese martial arts had been lost, and modern internal strength, apart from fitness, had lost its power in martial arts. Jin Xuan integrated ancient kung fu
with modern theory, and his kung fu was advancing by leaps and bounds. Huang Zhong asserted that this boy's martial arts had a limited future.
After months of living and working together, Huang Zhong noticed a significant change in Jin Xuan's temperament. He was much more composed, decisive, and clear-headed than before. His occasional revelations about
martial arts often surprised Huang Zhong. Jin Xuan (I)
discussed martial arts with Huang Zhong, relying on my memory of the basic movements and power principles of Jie Dao Quan (Intercepting Dao Fist) and the principles of modern Tai Chi. The renowned general Huang Zhong became completely absorbed in Jin Xuan's teachings, almost like a martial arts
fanatic , spending his days studying and improving martial arts.
Jin Xuan, receiving guidance from a master, progressed rapidly; Huang Zhong, in turn, benefited greatly from Jin Xuan's explanations of martial arts principles, refining his family's martial arts techniques. Jin Xuan's unintentional
display of ambition also surprised Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong couldn't help but wonder: had Jin Xuan encountered something extraordinary on the day he disappeared?
Chapter 003 Traveling Ten Thousand Miles (Part 1)
In the early years of the second year of the Zhongping era, Jin Xuan, mindful of the impending Yellow Turban Rebellion and the current corruption of the court, with Zhang Rang, He Jin, and others openly embezzling and selling official positions, discussed with Huang Zhong:
"The current chaotic government has led to widespread suffering and the signs of chaos are already emerging. I intend to take ten thousand taels of gold to the capital to seek a prefecture. This way, I can either help the people or protect the
peace of the region. What do you think, Uncle?"
Huang Zhong replied, "My son, you are young but ambitious, which pleases me greatly. If you have ambition, you should act quickly. I have some family wealth and will do my best to help you."
Having made up his mind, Jin Xuan raised the funds and asked his mother for permission to depart. He said, "I am going to the capital to seek employment and make friends with talented people along the way. As the saying goes, 'Traveling a thousand miles is better than reading.'"
"Ten thousand books." I am unfilial and unable to serve you now. I hope you take care of yourself, Mother. I have already asked my uncle to move the whole family here so that we can help you. Please grant my request, Mother."
Seeing that Jin Xuan was determined to leave, Madam Huang said, "Then take care on your journey. Go quickly and return quickly, so as not to worry your mother."
In my memory, during the Three Kingdoms period, famous strategists included Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, Sima Yi, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cao Cao, Xu Shu, Lu Xun, Deng
Ai, and Jiang Wei. Famous generals included Lü Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gan Ning, Xu Chu,
Dian Wei, Sun Ce, Taishi Ci, and Gan Ning. Cao Cao and others were ambitious and unwilling to be controlled. Jiang Wei, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, and Lu Xun were probably
not yet born. Jin Xuan only vaguely remembered the hometowns, ages, and experiences of his advisors and generals. Although he was determined to find them, the transportation and
communication were too backward, making the search extremely difficult. He decided
to travel a thousand miles and leave it to fate. If he were to find these civil and military officials, how could he win their loyalty without a single city or soldier? In this
era of , territory and strength were often the key to attracting talent!
Choosing an auspicious day, Jin Xuan set off for Luoyang with a few servants. Why didn't Huang Zhong come along? Huang Zhong was already married with children, spending all his time with Jin Xuan, leaving
his beautiful wife to live a life of widowhood. One should be kind. If you're going to buy an official position, you must find a way to get a high-ranking one. Conquering the world requires strength; at the very least, you should buy a prefecture.
In Longzhong, Nanyang, lives a figure who will be remembered for all time—Zhuge Liang.
Before Liu Bei makes his three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage, Jin Xuan must get there first. According to historical records, Zhuge Liang was still young at this time. Since it's on the way, it's necessary to find out about him as soon as possible. Even if he's still young, it's good to have more interaction so that
there will be fewer obstacles when inviting him to serve later.
After much persuasion, finally… He discovered the location of Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage in Longzhong, Nanyang. Soon they reached Wolonggang, where they saw several people tilling
the fields , singing: "The sky is like a round canopy, the land like a chessboard; people are divided into black and white, vying for honor and disgrace: the honored live in peace, the disgraced toil endlessly. In Nanyang, there is a hermit,
sleeping soundly, never satisfied!"
Upon hearing this song, Jin Xuan knew that the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* was a work of fiction.
He feared that if the historical records were inaccurate and confused with reality, Jin Xuan's list of talented individuals would be of little use
. " It's over!"
Jin Xuan pondered this, reining in his horse and asking the farmer, "Who composed this song?"
The farmer replied, "It was composed by the Crouching Dragon."
Jin Xuan asked, "What kind of person is the Crouching Dragon?"
The farmer said, "The Crouching Dragon is just over twenty years old, and it is said that his talent is unparalleled."
Jin Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing this, secretly thinking that the descriptions in *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* might not match the reality of the Three Kingdoms period. Fortunately, he had come this time; otherwise, he would have truly wasted a great talent. However,
a lingering worry arose in Jin Xuan's heart: did this Zhuge Liang's talent match the historical accounts? Since Zhuge Liang's age did not match the historical records,
how much of what was described in *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* true? His own creation... Did the strategists and generals on the list of those seeking talent truly possess the abilities described in historical records?
Following the mountain path south of the hill, Jin Xuan crossed a high ridge, upon which a large stone bore the inscription "Wolonggang" (Sleeping Dragon Ridge). The scenery along the way was exceptionally beautiful: the mountains, though not high, were
elegant ; the water, though not deep, was clear; the land, though not vast, was flat; the forest, though not large, was lush.
Jin Xuan dismounted before the manor, knocked on the door, and called out. A young man came out to greet him and led him to the main hall. Jin Xuan bowed and said, "May I ask your honorable name and address?"
The young man hurriedly returned the bow, saying, "My surname is Zhuge, and my given name is Jun. May I ask what brings you here, sir?"
Jin Xuan said, "Jin Xuan of Wuling has long admired the name of Master Kongming, but has had no opportunity to pay him a visit. Please allow me to..." " Brother, it is my great fortune to have the honor of seeing your esteemed presence,"
said Zhuge Jun. "Please wait a moment, my brother is still asleep in the back hall. I will inform him shortly."
Zhuge Jun went into the back hall. After a while, Zhuge Liang, dressed in his finest clothes, came out to greet him. Jin Xuan saw that Zhuge Liang was tall and slender, with a face like jade, wearing a turban and a crane-feather cloak,
exuding an ethereal and otherworldly air. Jin Xuan bowed and said, "Jin Xuan of Wuling has long admired your great name, which is as resounding as thunder in my ears. It is my great fortune to meet you today."
Zhuge Liang said, "I am a rustic from Nanyang, naturally lazy and unambitious. I am deeply ashamed to have been valued by you, sir."
After exchanging greetings, the two sat down as host and guest, and a servant brought tea.
After the tea, Zhuge Liang said, "I have long admired your talent, Brother Xuan. I am still young..." "I am but a humble farmer, how dare
I speak of worldly affairs? Besides, I have no land or soldiers, how can I accomplish anything great?"
Kongming replied, "I am a mere farmer, how dare I speak of worldly affairs? Moreover, I have no land, no cities, no soldiers, how can I accomplish anything great?" Jin Xuan said,
"A great man with extraordinary talent should not grow old in seclusion. I have the well-being of the people in mind. Now the Han dynasty is in decline, and treacherous officials have usurped power. I wish to uphold
justice the world, though I have not yet achieved anything. However, the court is corrupt, and official positions are sold for a price. I am quite wealthy, and a prefecture is within my grasp. The world, after a long period of division, will
unite; after a long period of unity, will divide. Now the Emperor favors..." "Eunuchs distance themselves from virtuous and talented individuals and associate with petty men; this is the first sign of chaos. Officials are corrupt while the people are impoverished; in years of famine, refugees will fill the land; if someone
rises in rebellion , the world will be in great turmoil. A popular uprising is not enough to destroy the Han Dynasty, but it will certainly shake its
very foundations. Each prefecture will amass troops for self-defense; in the long run, the warlords will become powerful while the Han Dynasty will weaken, creating a situation where the strong prey on the weak. I am now going to the capital to seek an official position, aiming for a prefecture, while simultaneously recruiting heroes and virtuous men for my own use. I will stockpile grain, diligently train my troops, and await the opportune moment. This is the foundation for gaining the world."
Zhuge Liang then asked, "What is governance? What is the army? What is the ruler? What is the people?"
Jin Xuan, knowing Zhuge Liang was a great sage of the time, dared not be careless and quickly replied, "Government is the governance of the people, enriching the people..." This is the foundation of governance. The army is the nation's army, and a strong army to protect the nation is
the foundation of the army. The ruler is the boat, and the people are the water; water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it.”
Zhuge Liang asked, “How can the people become wealthy? How can the army become strong?”
Jin Xuan replied, “Innovate agricultural tools, repair water conservancy, reduce taxes, and reform the tax system. Give benefits to the people; when the people are wealthy, the nation is strong. Station troops in the fields, train them during the off-season, reform the military system, and cultivate
the spirit of the army. When people are honored by the army, then the army will be invincible, and the soldiers will be ever-victorious.”… “My lord has great talent; I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse.”
Zhuge Liang was moved by Jin Xuan's great talent and strategy, seeing that his knowledge was no less than his own, and that many of his political views were quite similar to his own. He couldn't help but admire him and thus recognized Jin Xuan as his lord.
(What a wise ruler! His words made the situation of the world crystal clear, even predicting decades into the future. What a confidant! He even managed to
quote How could he not know him?)
Jin Xuan stayed at Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage for several days, discussing military strategy with him and benefiting immensely. Jin Xuan saw that Zhuge Liang was erudite, resourceful, and
possessed unique insights into governance and military affairs. His perspective on people and matters was unique; he was truly a remarkable figure.
Before leaving, Jin Xuan thought of Pang Tong and Zhou Yu. He said to Zhuge Liang, "I am currently in Luoyang seeking an official position. Jiangdong has many talented people; Pang Tong and Zhou Yu are both highly
capable. I suggest that you visit them, Kongming. If we can gain their assistance, we will surely benefit greatly."
