座上(shang)忽一人抗声问曰(yue)(yue):“今曹公兵屯(tun)百(bai)万(wan),将列千员,龙骧虎视,平吞江夏(xia),公以为何如(ru)?”孔明视之(zhi)(zhi),乃虞翻(fan)也。孔明曰(yue)(yue):“曹操收袁绍蚁聚之(zhi)(zhi)兵,劫刘表乌(wu)合之(zhi)(zhi)众,虽数(shu)百(bai)万(wan)不(bu)足惧也。”虞翻(fan)冷笑(xiao)曰(yue)(yue):“军(jun)败于当阳,计穷于夏(xia)口(kou),区(qu)区(qu)求(qiu)教于人,而犹言(yan)‘不(bu)惧’,此真大言(yan)欺人也!”孔明曰(yue)(yue):“刘豫州(zhou)以数(shu)千仁义之(zhi)(zhi)师,安能(neng)敌百(bai)万(wan)残暴之(zhi)(zhi)众?退守夏(xia)口(kou),所以待时也。今江东兵精(jing)粮足,且有长江之(zhi)(zhi)险,犹欲使(shi)其(qi)主屈膝(xi)降贼(zei),不(bu)顾天下耻笑(xiao)。由(you)此论之(zhi)(zhi),刘豫州(zhou)真不(bu)惧操贼(zei)者矣!”虞翻(fan)不(bu)能(neng)对(dui)。
座(zuo)间(jian)又一(yi)人(ren)(ren)问曰:“孔(kong)(kong)(kong)(kong)明(ming)欲效仪(yi)、秦(qin)(qin)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)舌(she),游(you)说(shuo)东(dong)吴耶?”孔(kong)(kong)(kong)(kong)明(ming)视之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),乃(nai)步(bu)骘(zhi)也(ye)(ye)。孔(kong)(kong)(kong)(kong)明(ming)曰:“步(bu)子(zi)山以(yi)苏秦(qin)(qin)张(zhang)仪(yi)为(wei)辩士(shi),不(bu)(bu)(bu)知苏秦(qin)(qin)、张(zhang)仪(yi)亦(yi)豪杰也(ye)(ye)。苏秦(qin)(qin)佩六(liu)国相(xiang)(xiang)印,张(zhang)仪(yi)两次相(xiang)(xiang)秦(qin)(qin),皆有匡扶人(ren)(ren)国之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)谋(mou),非(fei)比畏强凌弱,惧(ju)刀避剑之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)人(ren)(ren)也(ye)(ye)。君等(deng)闻曹(cao)操(cao)虚发诈(zha)伪之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)词(ci),便畏惧(ju)请(qing)降,敢笑苏秦(qin)(qin)、张(zhang)仪(yi)乎?”步(bu)骘(zhi)默然无(wu)(wu)(wu)语(yu)。忽一(yi)人(ren)(ren)问曰:“孔(kong)(kong)(kong)(kong)明(ming)以(yi)曹(cao)操(cao)何如人(ren)(ren)也(ye)(ye)?”孔(kong)(kong)(kong)(kong)明(ming)视其人(ren)(ren),乃(nai)薛(xue)综(zong)也(ye)(ye)。孔(kong)(kong)(kong)(kong)明(ming)答(da)曰:“曹(cao)操(cao)乃(nai)汉(han)贼也(ye)(ye),又何必问?”综(zong)曰:“公(gong)(gong)言(yan)(yan)差矣(yi)。汉(han)传世(shi)至今,天(tian)(tian)数(shu)将终。今曹(cao)公(gong)(gong)已有天(tian)(tian)下(xia)三分之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)二(er),人(ren)(ren)皆归(gui)心。刘豫州(zhou)不(bu)(bu)(bu)识(shi)天(tian)(tian)时(shi),强欲与争,正如以(yi)卵击石,安(an)得不(bu)(bu)(bu)败乎?”孔(kong)(kong)(kong)(kong)明(ming)厉声曰:“薛(xue)敬文安(an)得出此无(wu)(wu)(wu)父无(wu)(wu)(wu)君之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)言(yan)(yan)乎!夫人(ren)(ren)生天(tian)(tian)地间(jian),以(yi)忠孝(xiao)为(wei)立身(shen)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)本。公(gong)(gong)既(ji)为(wei)汉(han)臣(chen)(chen)(chen),则见有不(bu)(bu)(bu)臣(chen)(chen)(chen)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)人(ren)(ren),当誓共戮(lu)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi):臣(chen)(chen)(chen)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)道也(ye)(ye)。今曹(cao)操(cao)祖(zu)宗叨食(shi)汉(han)禄,不(bu)(bu)(bu)思报(bao)效,反怀(huai)(huai)篡逆之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)心,天(tian)(tian)下(xia)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)所共愤(fen);公(gong)(gong)乃(nai)以(yi)天(tian)(tian)数(shu)归(gui)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),真无(wu)(wu)(wu)父无(wu)(wu)(wu)君之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)人(ren)(ren)也(ye)(ye)!不(bu)(bu)(bu)足(zu)与语(yu)!请(qing)勿复言(yan)(yan)!”薛(xue)综(zong)满面羞惭,不(bu)(bu)(bu)能对答(da)。座(zuo)上又一(yi)人(ren)(ren)应声问曰:“曹(cao)操(cao)虽(sui)挟天(tian)(tian)子(zi)以(yi)令诸侯,犹是相(xiang)(xiang)国曹(cao)参之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)后。刘豫州(zhou)虽(sui)云中(zhong)山靖王苗裔,却无(wu)(wu)(wu)可稽考(kao),眼见只是织席贩屦之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)夫耳,何足(zu)与曹(cao)操(cao)抗衡哉!”孔(kong)(kong)(kong)(kong)明(ming)视之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),乃(nai)陆绩(ji)也(ye)(ye)。孔(kong)(kong)(kong)(kong)明(ming)笑曰:“公(gong)(gong)非(fei)袁术座(zuo)间(jian)怀(huai)(huai)桔(jie)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)陆郎乎?请(qing)安(an)坐,听吾一(yi)言(yan)(yan):曹(cao)操(cao)既(ji)为(wei)曹(cao)相(xiang)(xiang)国之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)后,则世(shi)为(wei)汉(han)臣(chen)(chen)(chen)矣(yi);今乃(nai)专权肆横,欺凌君父,是不(bu)(bu)(bu)惟无(wu)(wu)(wu)君,亦(yi)且(qie)蔑祖(zu),不(bu)(bu)(bu)惟汉(han)室之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)乱臣(chen)(chen)(chen),亦(yi)曹(cao)氏之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)贼子(zi)也(ye)(ye)。刘豫州(zhou)堂堂帝胄(zhou),当今皇帝,按谱赐爵,何云无(wu)(wu)(wu)可稽考(kao)?且(qie)高祖(zu)起(qi)身(shen)亭(ting)长,而终有天(tian)(tian)下(xia);织席贩屦,又何足(zu)为(wei)辱(ru)乎?公(gong)(gong)小(xiao)儿之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)见,不(bu)(bu)(bu)足(zu)与高士(shi)共语(yu)!”陆绩(ji)语(yu)塞。
座上一(yi)人(ren)忽曰:“孔明(ming)所言,皆强词夺理,均非正论,不(bu)必(bi)再言。且请(qing)问孔明(ming)治(zhi)何经典(dian)?”孔明(ming)视之(zhi)(zhi),乃严酸也(ye)。孔明(ming)曰:“寻(xun)章摘句,世之(zhi)(zhi)腐儒也(ye),何能(neng)兴邦立事?且古耕莘伊尹,钓(diao)渭子牙(ya),张良、陈平之(zhi)(zhi)流。邓(deng)禹、耿弇(yan)之(zhi)(zhi)辈,皆有(you)匡扶宇宙之(zhi)(zhi)才,未(wei)审(shen)其生平治(zhi)何经典(dian)。岂(qi)亦效书生,区区于笔砚之(zhi)(zhi)间,数黑论黄(huang),舞文弄(nong)墨而(er)已(yi)乎?”严峻低(di)头丧气而(er)不(bu)能(neng)对。
忽又(you)一(yi)人(ren)大声曰:“公好为大言(yan)(yan),未必真有(you)实(shi)(shi)学,恐适为儒(ru)(ru)者所笑耳。”孔明视其(qi)人(ren),乃汝阳程德枢也(ye)。孔明答曰:“儒(ru)(ru)有(you)君子(zi)小(xiao)人(ren)之别。君子(zi)之儒(ru)(ru),忠君爱国(guo),守(shou)正(zheng)恶(e)邪,务使(shi)泽及当时,名留后世。若夫小(xiao)人(ren)之儒(ru)(ru),惟务雕虫,专工翰(han)墨,青春作(zuo)赋,皓首(shou)穷(qiong)经;笔下虽有(you)千言(yan)(yan),胸(xiong)中实(shi)(shi)无一(yi)策(ce)。且如(ru)杨雄以(yi)文(wen)章名世,而(er)屈身(shen)事莽(mang),不免投阁(ge)而(er)死,此所谓小(xiao)人(ren)之儒(ru)(ru)也(ye);虽日赋万言(yan)(yan),亦何取哉!”程德枢不能(neng)对。众(zhong)人(ren)见孔明对答如(ru)流,尽皆失色。
