《三國(guo)演(yan)義》是中國(guo)古代(dai)長篇(pian)章回小說的開山之作。
三(san)(san)(san)國(guo)(guo)(guo)故事(shi)在我國(guo)(guo)(guo)古(gu)代(dai)民(min)(min)間頗為(wei)流行。宋元時(shi)代(dai)即被搬(ban)上舞(wu)臺,金(jin)、元演(yan)出的(de)(de)(de)(de)三(san)(san)(san)國(guo)(guo)(guo)劇目達30多種。元代(dai)至治年(nian)間出現了(le)(le)新安虞氏所(suo)刊(kan)(kan)的(de)(de)(de)(de)《全(quan)相三(san)(san)(san)國(guo)(guo)(guo)志平話》。元末(mo)(mo)明(ming)初羅貫(guan)中綜合民(min)(min)間傳說(shuo)和戲曲、話本(ben),結合陳壽《三(san)(san)(san)國(guo)(guo)(guo)志》和裴松(song)之注的(de)(de)(de)(de)史料(liao),根據他個人(ren)對社會(hui)人(ren)生(sheng)的(de)(de)(de)(de)體悟(wu),創作了(le)(le)《三(san)(san)(san)國(guo)(guo)(guo)志通俗(su)演(yan)義(yi)(yi)》,現存最早(zao)刊(kan)(kan)本(ben)是明(ming)嘉(jia)靖(jing)年(nian)所(suo)刊(kan)(kan)刻的(de)(de)(de)(de),俗(su)稱“嘉(jia)靖(jing)本(ben)”,本(ben)書24卷(juan)。清康熙年(nian)間,毛綸(lun)毛宗崗父子辨正史事(shi)、增刪(shan)文字(zi),修(xiu)改成今日通行的(de)(de)(de)(de)120回本(ben)《三(san)(san)(san)國(guo)(guo)(guo)演(yan)義(yi)(yi)》。《三(san)(san)(san)國(guo)(guo)(guo)演(yan)義(yi)(yi)》描(miao)(miao)寫(xie)的(de)(de)(de)(de)是從東漢(han)末(mo)(mo)年(nian)到西(xi)晉初年(nian)之間近一(yi)百(bai)年(nian)的(de)(de)(de)(de)歷史風云。全(quan)書反(fan)映(ying)了(le)(le)三(san)(san)(san)國(guo)(guo)(guo)時(shi)代(dai)的(de)(de)(de)(de)政(zheng)治軍事(shi)斗爭,反(fan)映(ying)了(le)(le)三(san)(san)(san)國(guo)(guo)(guo)時(shi)代(dai)各類(lei)社會(hui)矛盾(dun)的(de)(de)(de)(de)滲透與轉化,概(gai)括了(le)(le)這(zhe)一(yi)時(shi)代(dai)的(de)(de)(de)(de)歷史巨變,塑(su)造了(le)(le)一(yi)批咤叱風云的(de)(de)(de)(de)英雄人(ren)物。在對三(san)(san)(san)國(guo)(guo)(guo)歷史的(de)(de)(de)(de)把(ba)握上,作者表現出明(ming)顯(xian)的(de)(de)(de)(de)擁(yong)劉反(fan)曹(cao)傾向(xiang)(xiang),以劉備(bei)集(ji)團作為(wei)描(miao)(miao)寫(xie)的(de)(de)(de)(de)中心,對劉備(bei)集(ji)團的(de)(de)(de)(de)主要人(ren)物加以歌(ge)頌,對曹(cao)操則極力揭露(lu)鞭撻(ta)。今天我們對于作者的(de)(de)(de)(de)這(zhe)種擁(yong)劉反(fan)曹(cao)的(de)(de)(de)(de)傾向(xiang)(xiang)應有(you)辯(bian)證的(de)(de)(de)(de)認識。尊劉反(fan)曹(cao)是民(min)(min)間傳說(shuo)的(de)(de)(de)(de)主要傾向(xiang)(xiang),在羅貫(guan)中生(sheng)活(huo)的(de)(de)(de)(de)時(shi)代(dai)隱含著人(ren)民(min)(min)對漢(han)族復興的(de)(de)(de)(de)希望。
《三國演義》刻畫了近200個(ge)人物形象,其(qi)中(zhong)最(zui)為(wei)成功(gong)的(de)(de)(de)(de)有諸葛(ge)亮、曹(cao)操、關(guan)羽(yu)、劉(liu)備(bei)等人。諸葛(ge)亮是(shi)作(zuo)者(zhe)心目中(zhong)的(de)(de)(de)(de)“賢(xian)相”的(de)(de)(de)(de)化身,他具(ju)有“鞠躬盡(jin)瘁,死而(er)(er)后已”的(de)(de)(de)(de)高風(feng)亮節,具(ju)有近世(shi)濟民再造太平(ping)盛世(shi)的(de)(de)(de)(de)雄(xiong)心壯志,而(er)(er)且作(zuo)者(zhe)還賦予他呼風(feng)喚雨(yu)、神機妙算的(de)(de)(de)(de)奇(qi)異本領。曹(cao)操是(shi)一位奸雄(xiong),他生活的(de)(de)(de)(de)信條是(shi)“寧教我(wo)負天(tian)下(xia)人,不教天(tian)下(xia)人負我(wo)”,既有雄(xiong)才大(da)略(lve),又殘暴奸詐,是(shi)一個(ge)政治(zhi)野心家陰謀家這與歷史上的(de)(de)(de)(de)真曹(cao)操是(shi)不可混同的(de)(de)(de)(de)。關(guan)羽(yu)“威猛剛毅”、“義重如山”。劉(liu)備(bei)被作(zuo)者(zhe)塑造成為(wei)仁(ren)民愛物、視賢(xian)下(xia)士、知(zhi)人善任(ren)的(de)(de)(de)(de)仁(ren)君典型。
《三國(guo)演(yan)義》描(miao)寫了大(da)(da)大(da)(da)小小的(de)戰(zhan)爭,構(gou)思宏偉(wei),手(shou)法多(duo)樣(yang),使我們清晰地看到了一場場刀光血影的(de)戰(zhan)爭場面。其中(zhong)“官(guan)渡之(zhi)(zhi)戰(zhan)”和“赤(chi)壁(bi)之(zhi)(zhi)戰(zhan)”等戰(zhan)爭的(de)描(miao)寫波瀾起伏、跌宕跳躍,讀來驚(jing)心(xin)動(dong)魄。
全書的文不(bu)甚深,言(yan)不(bu)甚俗(su),簡潔(jie)明快,氣勢充沛(pei),生動活潑。
《三國(guo)演義》帶來我國(guo)歷(li)史(shi)小(xiao)說(shuo)創(chuang)作(zuo)的熱潮,它所塑造的一(yi)系列人物形象(xiang)在我國(guo)已(yi)家喻戶曉,婦孺皆知。

《三國演義》第四(si)十三回寫諸(zhu)葛亮(liang)只身隨魯肅過江(jiang)、游說(shuo)東吳群臣。時值劉備新敗,退守(shou)夏口(kou),曹操大軍壓境,東吳上下(xia)主降之(zhi)風日(ri)盛(sheng)。在此情勢下(xia),諸(zhu)葛亮(liang)以(yi)其(qi)超人(ren)的膽識(shi)同東吳群儒展(zhan)開舌戰(zhan),并(bing)以(yi)其(qi)滔(tao)滔(tao)辯(bian)才使對手(shou)一(yi)個個皆(jie)成“口(kou)”下(xia)敗將,并(bing)最(zui)終說(shuo)服了孫權(quan),使孫劉聯(lian)盟共(gong)抗曹操的局(ju)面得(de)以(yi)形成。
只記載諸(zhu)葛亮(liang)面見孫(sun)權(quan),東吳主戰(zhan)派(pai)、主和(he)派(pai)相爭日盛(sheng)。諸(zhu)葛亮(liang)只是節使。

座上又一(yi)人應聲問曰:“曹操(cao)雖(sui)挾天(tian)(tian)子(zi)以令諸侯,猶是(shi)相(xiang)(xiang)國曹參之(zhi)(zhi)后。劉豫(yu)州雖(sui)云(yun)中山(shan)靖王(wang)苗裔,卻無(wu)可稽考(kao),眼見(jian)只(zhi)是(shi)織(zhi)(zhi)席販屨之(zhi)(zhi)夫耳,何足(zu)(zu)與曹操(cao)抗衡哉!”孔明視之(zhi)(zhi),乃陸績也。孔明笑曰:“公(gong)非(fei)袁術(shu)座間懷橘之(zhi)(zhi)陸郎乎(hu)?請安坐,聽吾一(yi)言:曹操(cao)既為(wei)曹相(xiang)(xiang)國之(zhi)(zhi)后,則世(shi)為(wei)漢(han)臣矣;今乃專權肆橫,欺凌君父,是(shi)不惟無(wu)君,亦(yi)且蔑祖(zu),不惟漢(han)室之(zhi)(zhi)亂(luan)臣,亦(yi)曹氏之(zhi)(zhi)賊子(zi)也。劉豫(yu)州堂(tang)堂(tang)帝胄,當(dang)今皇帝,按譜賜爵,何云(yun)‘無(wu)可稽考(kao)’?且高(gao)祖(zu)起身亭長(chang),而終有天(tian)(tian)下(xia);織(zhi)(zhi)席販屨,又何足(zu)(zu)為(wei)辱乎(hu)?公(gong)小兒之(zhi)(zhi)見(jian),不足(zu)(zu)與高(gao)士共語!”陸績語塞。
座上一人忽曰:“孔明所言,皆強詞奪理,均非正論(lun),不(bu)必再言。且請(qing)問孔明治何經典?”孔明視之(zhi)(zhi),乃嚴畯(jun)也。孔明曰:“尋章摘句,世之(zhi)(zhi)腐儒也,何能興(xing)邦立事(shi)?且古耕莘伊尹,釣渭子牙,張(zhang)良、陳(chen)平(ping)之(zhi)(zhi)流。鄧(deng)禹、耿(geng)弇之(zhi)(zhi)輩(bei),皆有匡(kuang)扶(fu)宇宙之(zhi)(zhi)才,未審其生平(ping)治何經典。——豈亦(yi)效書生,區(qu)區(qu)于筆(bi)硯之(zhi)(zhi)間,數黑論(lun)黃,舞文弄(nong)墨(mo)而已乎?”嚴畯(jun)低(di)頭喪氣而不(bu)能對。
忽(hu)又(you)一人(ren)大聲曰:“公好為大言,未(wei)必真(zhen)有(you)實學,恐適為儒(ru)(ru)者(zhe)所笑(xiao)耳。”孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)視(shi)其人(ren),乃汝陽程德(de)樞(shu)也(ye)(ye)。孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)答曰:“儒(ru)(ru)有(you)小(xiao)人(ren)君子之別(bie)。君子之儒(ru)(ru),忠君愛(ai)國,守正惡邪,務(wu)使澤及當時,名留后世。——若夫小(xiao)人(ren)之儒(ru)(ru),惟務(wu)雕(diao)蟲,專工(gong)翰墨(mo),青春作賦,皓首窮經(jing);筆下(xia)雖有(you)千言,胸中(zhong)實無一策。且(qie)如揚雄以文(wen)章名世,而屈身(shen)事莽,不免投閣而死,此所謂(wei)小(xiao)人(ren)之儒(ru)(ru)也(ye)(ye);雖日賦萬言,亦何(he)取哉!”程德(de)樞(shu)不能對(dui)。眾人(ren)見孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)對(dui)答如流,盡皆失(shi)色。
同坐上(shang)張溫、駱統二人(ren),又欲問難。忽一人(ren)自外(wai)而入(ru),厲(li)聲言曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“孔(kong)明乃(nai)(nai)當世(shi)奇才,君等以唇舌(she)相難,非敬客之(zhi)(zhi)禮也。曹操大兵臨境(jing),不思退敵(di)之(zhi)(zhi)策,乃(nai)(nai)徒(tu)斗口耶!”眾(zhong)視其人(ren),乃(nai)(nai)零陵(ling)人(ren),姓(xing)黃(huang),名蓋(gai),字公(gong)覆,現為(wei)東吳糧官。當時黃(huang)蓋(gai)謂孔(kong)明曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“愚聞(wen)多言獲利(li),不如默而無(wu)言。何(he)(he)不將(jiang)金石之(zhi)(zhi)論為(wei)我主言之(zhi)(zhi),乃(nai)(nai)與(yu)眾(zhong)人(ren)辯論也?”孔(kong)明曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“諸(zhu)君不知世(shi)務,互(hu)相問難,不容(rong)不答(da)耳。”于是黃(huang)蓋(gai)與(yu)魯肅引孔(kong)明入(ru)。至(zhi)中門,正遇諸(zhu)葛瑾(jin)(jin),孔(kong)明施(shi)禮。瑾(jin)(jin)曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“賢(xian)弟(di)既(ji)到(dao)江東,如何(he)(he)不來(lai)見(jian)我?”孔(kong)明曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“弟(di)既(ji)事劉豫州,理宜先公(gong)后私(si)。公(gong)事未(wei)畢,不敢及私(si)。望兄見(jian)諒。”瑾(jin)(jin)曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“賢(xian)弟(di)見(jian)過吳侯(hou),卻來(lai)敘話。”說罷自去。

這時座中一(yi)人忽然(ran)高(gao)聲問(wen)道(dao)(dao)(dao):“如今曹(cao)(cao)公(gong)屯兵(bing)百萬,列將千(qian)名,虎(hu)視眈眈要踏(ta)平、吞(tun)食(shi)江夏,先生認為該怎么辦呢?”孔明(ming)望去,乃是(shi)(shi)虞翻(fan)。孔明(ming)道(dao)(dao)(dao):“曹(cao)(cao)操(cao)收并了袁紹蟻聚(ju)之(zhi)兵(bing),劫劉(liu)表烏(wu)合之(zhi)眾,雖然(ran)百萬之(zhi)軍,也沒什么可(ke)怕(pa)。”虞翻(fan)一(yi)聽冷笑(xiao)(xiao)道(dao)(dao)(dao):“你們軍敗(bai)于(yu)(yu)當(dang)陽(yang),計窮(qiong)于(yu)(yu)夏口,區區求救(jiu)于(yu)(yu)人,還說‘不(bu)怕(pa)’,這可(ke)真是(shi)(shi)大言(yan)不(bu)慚啊!”孔明(ming)道(dao)(dao)(dao):“劉(liu)備(bei)(bei)不(bu)是(shi)(shi)只靠(kao)幾千(qian)仁義之(zhi)師,就能(neng)抵(di)抗百萬殘暴之(zhi)眾的嗎?退守夏口是(shi)(shi)為了等待更好的時機。而如今,你們江東兵(bing)精糧足,且憑借有長江之(zhi)天險,有的人卻還想要主公(gong)孫權屈膝投降曹(cao)(cao)賊,而竟(jing)不(bu)顧天下人的恥笑(xiao)(xiao)。——從這一(yi)點來看(kan),劉(liu)備(bei)(bei)難(nan)道(dao)(dao)(dao)是(shi)(shi)怕(pa)曹(cao)(cao)操(cao)的嗎?”虞翻(fan)被說得啞口無言(yan)了。
座中又(you)一人(ren)發問道(dao):“孔明(ming)先生(sheng)(sheng)難道(dao)想(xiang)效法張(zhang)儀和蘇秦(qin)來游說我們東吳嗎?”孔明(ming)一看,是步(bu)騭(zhi)(zhi),回(hui)敬道(dao):“步(bu)子山先生(sheng)(sheng)以(yi)為(wei)張(zhang)儀、蘇秦(qin)是辯士(shi),卻大概(gai)還(huan)不(bu)知道(dao)他二人(ren)也是豪杰吧;蘇秦(qin)佩掛(gua)六國(guo)相(xiang)印(yin),張(zhang)儀兩次為(wei)秦(qin)國(guo)宰相(xiang),都是匡(kuang)扶國(guo)家的(de)(de)謀士(shi),可不(bu)是那些畏強欺弱、怕(pa)刀怕(pa)槍(qiang)的(de)(de)人(ren)所能比的(de)(de)。君等只聽曹操虛發的(de)(de)假(jia)詐之詞,就嚇(xia)得想(xiang)去投降,還(huan)竟好意思在這里笑話(hua)蘇秦(qin)和張(zhang)儀嗎?”步(bu)騭(zhi)(zhi)也被問得說不(bu)出話(hua)了(le)。
忽然(ran),又有(you)人問(wen)道(dao):“孔明認為曹操是(shi)(shi)(shi)個(ge)什么人呢?”孔明看那人,乃是(shi)(shi)(shi)薛(xue)綜(zong),答道(dao):“曹操乃是(shi)(shi)(shi)漢(han)(han)賊,這還用問(wen)嗎?”薛(xue)綜(zong)道(dao):“先生說得不對。漢(han)(han)朝歷代至今(jin),天數眼看就(jiu)要完(wan)了。如(ru)今(jin)曹公(gong)擁有(you)三(san)分(fen)之(zhi)二天下(xia),人都歸(gui)心與他(ta)。劉備不識天時(shi),強要與之(zhi)分(fen)爭,正(zheng)是(shi)(shi)(shi)好比以卵(luan)擊石,怎能不敗(bai)呢?”孔明這時(shi)厲聲說道(dao):“薛(xue)敬文怎么能出此沒(mei)有(you)君臣父(fu)子、沒(mei)有(you)高低倫理(li)之(zhi)言呢?人生在天地之(zhi)間,應以忠(zhong)孝作為立身之(zhi)本。薛(xue)公(gong)既然(ran)是(shi)(shi)(shi)漢(han)(han)臣,卻有(you)不臣之(zhi)心,應當(dang)打消這些思想,才是(shi)(shi)(shi)為臣的(de)(de)正(zheng)道(dao)。曹操的(de)(de)祖宗食(shi)漢(han)(han)祿,卻不思報(bao)孝漢(han)(han)室,反(fan)懷有(you)篡權叛(pan)逆之(zhi)心,讓天下(xia)人憎忿,薛(xue)公(gong)卻說天數歸(gui)之(zhi)曹操,真(zhen)是(shi)(shi)(shi)無父(fu)無君、沒(mei)有(you)綱(gang)常的(de)(de)人呀!我(wo)沒(mei)有(you)必(bi)要同你講話,請(qing)不必(bi)多言了!”薛(xue)綜(zong)滿面羞(xiu)慚,無話對答。
座上又有(you)一人應聲問道:“曹(cao)操雖然挾天(tian)子(zi)以令(ling)諸侯(hou),可畢(bi)竟也是(shi)相國(guo)曹(cao)參的后(hou)代(dai)。劉(liu)備(bei)雖自說是(shi)所謂中(zhong)山靖王(wang)(wang)的苗裔,卻(que)沒(mei)有(you)考證(zheng),人們親眼所見(jian)的,他(ta)只(zhi)不過是(shi)一個編草席賣(mai)草鞋(xie)的俗夫罷了,有(you)什(shen)么資格來(lai)和曹(cao)操抗衡呢(ni)!”孔明(ming)看去,原來(lai)是(shi)陸績(ji)。孔明(ming)笑起來(lai),道:“曹(cao)操既然是(shi)曹(cao)相國(guo)的后(hou)代(dai),就更證(zheng)明(ming)他(ta)世(shi)代(dai)都(dou)為漢(han)(han)臣(chen),而(er)如今(jin)他(ta)卻(que)手握(wo)王(wang)(wang)權,肆意橫(heng)行,欺君(jun)(jun)妄上,不僅是(shi)目無(wu)君(jun)(jun)主,而(er)且(qie)是(shi)蔑視祖(zu)(zu)宗,不僅是(shi)漢(han)(han)室之(zhi)亂臣(chen),而(er)且(qie)是(shi)曹(cao)氏之(zhi)賊子(zi)。劉(liu)備(bei)是(shi)堂堂正(zheng)(zheng)正(zheng)(zheng)的漢(han)(han)室之(zhi)胄(zhou),當今(jin)皇帝依據世(shi)宗祖(zu)(zu)譜賜與他(ta)官(guan)爵,你憑什(shen)么說‘無(wu)可查考’呢(ni)?況且(qie)高(gao)祖(zu)(zu)就是(shi)從區區亭(ting)長開始建(jian)業起身的,織(zhi)席賣(mai)鞋(xie)又有(you)什(shen)么可以為恥辱的呢(ni)?我看你真(zhen)是(shi)小兒之(zhi)見(jian),怎能(neng)和高(gao)士一起理論!”陸績(ji)不禁閉口塞舌。
席中又(you)一人說道(dao):“孔(kong)明(ming)所(suo)言,都(dou)是(shi)強(qiang)詞奪理,全不(bu)是(shi)正經(jing)(jing)之談,不(bu)必(bi)再(zai)說了。只請(qing)問孔(kong)明(ming)著(zhu)有什么(me)經(jing)(jing)典之論(lun)嗎?”孔(kong)明(ming)看他(ta)(ta),是(shi)嚴峻,說道(dao):“尋章摘(zhai)句,是(shi)世上(shang)那些迂腐(fu)(fu)儒士(shi)的(de)所(suo)為,哪(na)能夠(gou)依此興國立事。古時候躬(gong)耕的(de)莘伊尹,垂(chui)釣于渭水(shui)的(de)姜(jiang)子牙,還有張(zhang)良(liang)、鄧(deng)禹等名士(shi)高人都(dou)沒見他(ta)(ta)們有什么(me)經(jing)(jing)典論(lun)著(zhu)。——難道(dao)說你整天就光只是(shi)效(xiao)仿那些酸腐(fu)(fu)的(de)書生(sheng),區區于筆(bi)硯(yan)之間,數黑論(lun)黃(huang)、舞文弄墨(mo)而已嗎?”嚴峻垂(chui)頭喪氣地無以作答。
忽然(ran)一(yi)個(ge)人大聲說道(dao):“諸葛公好說大話,未必有(you)(you)(you)真才實學,恐怕到時恰恰要被文(wen)(wen)人學者(zhe)(zhe)所(suo)(suo)笑(xiao)呢。”孔(kong)明看那(nei)人,乃是程(cheng)德樞,便回答道(dao):“文(wen)(wen)人學者(zhe)(zhe)有(you)(you)(you)君(jun)子與小人之(zhi)分。作為君(jun)子的(de)文(wen)(wen)人,忠(zhong)君(jun)愛國(guo),堅守正義,憎惡(e)邪佞(ning),盡(jin)力為時代做出自己的(de)貢獻,美名傳于(yu)后(hou)世。而作為小人的(de)學者(zhe)(zhe),只鉆營雕蟲小技(ji),用心于(yu)文(wen)(wen)墨,年輕時作賦,人老了把經都念完。筆(bi)下即便有(you)(you)(you)千言,胸中卻(que)沒(mei)有(you)(you)(you)一(yi)點實實在(zai)(zai)在(zai)(zai)的(de)計策。就像楊雄那(nei)樣,雖然(ran)以文(wen)(wen)章著稱于(yu)世,卻(que)屈身于(yu)草莽強(qiang)盜之(zhi)手,走投無路(lu)最后(hou)跳樓而死。這就是所(suo)(suo)謂的(de)小人之(zhi)儒。即使他每天吟(yin)詩作賦上萬言,可(ke)又(you)有(you)(you)(you)什么(me)用呢!”程(cheng)德樞也不能(neng)應對(dui)了。
眾人(ren)見孔明(ming)(ming)(ming)對(dui)答(da)如流(liu),全都已驚慌失色。此時座中還有(you)人(ren)想要問難(nan)(nan)孔明(ming)(ming)(ming),忽然有(you)個(ge)人(ren)從外面走(zou)進來(lai),厲(li)聲說道:“孔明(ming)(ming)(ming)乃是(shi)當世奇才,諸位以唇舌相難(nan)(nan),可不(bu)是(shi)敬客之禮。曹(cao)操(cao)大軍壓境,你們不(bu)商討退兵之策(ce),光在這(zhe)里斗(dou)嘴!”眾人(ren)一看,是(shi)督(du)糧(liang)官(guan)黃蓋(gai)黃公(gong)覆(fu)。黃蓋(gai)對(dui)孔明(ming)(ming)(ming)道:“先生何不(bu)將金石之論對(dui)我主說去?”孔明(ming)(ming)(ming)道:“諸君不(bu)識時務,互相問難(nan)(nan),容不(bu)得我不(bu)答(da)。”
于是(shi)黃蓋和魯肅帶孔(kong)明進入中門,正巧(qiao)遇到諸(zhu)葛(ge)瑾,孔(kong)明給他兄(xiong)長施禮。諸(zhu)葛(ge)瑾說(shuo)(shuo):“賢弟既然(ran)已(yi)來到江東,為何不來見(jian)我呢?”孔(kong)明說(shuo)(shuo):“弟已(yi)輔佐劉備,理(li)當先(xian)公后(hou)私。公事沒辦完(wan),不敢旁(pang)及私事。請哥(ge)哥(ge)見(jian)諒(liang)。”諸(zhu)葛(ge)瑾道:“賢弟拜(bai)見(jian)過吳侯,就到我那里敘話。”說(shuo)(shuo)完(wan)便(bian)走了。
魯肅(su)(su)對(dui)(dui)孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)囑咐道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):“今天見(jian)(jian)到我(wo)(wo)家(jia)主(zhu)公(gong),千萬別說曹(cao)(cao)操(cao)(cao)兵(bing)(bing)(bing)多。”孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)笑說:“亮自(zi)會隨(sui)機應變。”他(ta)們來(lai)到大堂(tang)之(zhi)(zhi)上,孫權(quan)(quan)下(xia)(xia)階而(er)迎,厚禮相侍,請孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)坐,眾(zhong)文武(wu)分列兩旁,魯肅(su)(su)站(zhan)(zhan)在(zai)孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)邊(bian)上。孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)見(jian)(jian)孫權(quan)(quan)碧眼紫發,儀表堂(tang)堂(tang),暗想,此人相貌不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)一(yi)般(ban),只能用話(hua)激(ji)(ji)他(ta),不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)能光講道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)理。于是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi),等(deng)孫權(quan)(quan)問(wen)(wen)起曹(cao)(cao)操(cao)(cao)現有(you)(you)(you)(you)多少(shao)兵(bing)(bing)(bing)馬時,孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)說有(you)(you)(you)(you)一(yi)百多萬。孫權(quan)(quan)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):“怕不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)在(zai)詐我(wo)(wo)們吧?”孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)便將(jiang)曹(cao)(cao)操(cao)(cao)原(yuan)有(you)(you)(you)(you)的(de)兵(bing)(bing)(bing)力(li),加上從(cong)袁(yuan)紹、中(zhong)原(yuan)和荊(jing)州(zhou)那里新增(zeng)的(de)兵(bing)(bing)(bing)力(li)算(suan)在(zai)一(yi)起,不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)下(xia)(xia)一(yi)百五(wu)十多萬。他(ta)方(fang)才說一(yi)百萬,是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)怕嚇(xia)著江東之(zhi)(zhi)士(shi);且曹(cao)(cao)操(cao)(cao)手下(xia)(xia)戰將(jiang)謀士(shi)都(dou)(dou)不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)下(xia)(xia)一(yi)二(er)千。魯肅(su)(su)在(zai)旁一(yi)聽(ting)(ting),驚慌失(shi)色(se),連忙向孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)使眼色(se)不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)讓他(ta)再(zai)說了(le),孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)卻只裝作沒(mei)有(you)(you)(you)(you)看見(jian)(jian)。這(zhe)(zhe)時孫權(quan)(quan)又問(wen)(wen):“曹(cao)(cao)操(cao)(cao)平了(le)荊(jing)楚(chu)之(zhi)(zhi)地,還有(you)(you)(you)(you)其他(ta)圖謀嗎?”孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):“他(ta)如(ru)今已(yi)沿江邊(bian)安營扎寨,準備(bei)(bei)戰船,不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)圖你(ni)們江東,又是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)想取哪里呢(ni)?”孫權(quan)(quan)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):“若(ruo)他(ta)真有(you)(you)(you)(you)吞并之(zhi)(zhi)意(yi),請先(xian)生(sheng)替我(wo)(wo)想想該怎(zen)(zen)么辦。”孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):“亮有(you)(you)(you)(you)一(yi)句話(hua),只怕將(jiang)軍不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)肯聽(ting)(ting)從(cong)。如(ru)今曹(cao)(cao)操(cao)(cao)勢力(li)極大,威(wei)震海(hai)內,即便是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)英雄,也無用武(wu)之(zhi)(zhi)地,奈他(ta)不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)可。將(jiang)軍要(yao)量力(li)而(er)行,若(ruo)有(you)(you)(you)(you)能力(li)與曹(cao)(cao)抗衡,不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)如(ru)趁早(zao)消滅(mie)他(ta);若(ruo)沒(mei)有(you)(you)(you)(you)能力(li)對(dui)(dui)抗,不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)如(ru)聽(ting)(ting)從(cong)眾(zhong)謀士(shi)的(de)建(jian)議,投(tou)降(jiang)曹(cao)(cao)操(cao)(cao)算(suan)了(le)。如(ru)今,將(jiang)軍嘴上說要(yao)降(jiang)曹(cao)(cao),心里又不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)想降(jiang)曹(cao)(cao),形勢危(wei)急(ji),卻總是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)拿不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)定主(zhu)意(yi),大禍可就(jiu)要(yao)臨(lin)頭(tou)了(le)!”孫權(quan)(quan)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):“若(ruo)像先(xian)生(sheng)說的(de)這(zhe)(zhe)樣(yang)(yang),劉備(bei)(bei)為什(shen)么不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)投(tou)降(jiang)曹(cao)(cao)操(cao)(cao)呢(ni)?”孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):“過(guo)(guo)去(qu),像齊國的(de)田橫那樣(yang)(yang)的(de)壯士(shi)都(dou)(dou)能堅守大義,不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)容屈辱,何(he)況(kuang)劉備(bei)(bei)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)漢室宗親——事之(zhi)(zhi)不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)成乃是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)天意(yi),怎(zen)(zen)么能自(zi)己就(jiu)先(xian)屈服于他(ta)人之(zhi)(zhi)下(xia)(xia)呢(ni)!”孫權(quan)(quan)聽(ting)(ting)了(le)孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)這(zhe)(zhe)番話(hua),不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)覺臉色(se)頓(dun)變,站(zhan)(zhan)起身來(lai)拂(fu)袖而(er)去(qu),眾(zhong)人一(yi)見(jian)(jian),也都(dou)(dou)一(yi)笑而(er)散了(le)。魯肅(su)(su)責(ze)怪孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):“先(xian)生(sheng)為何(he)說出這(zhe)(zhe)樣(yang)(yang)的(de)話(hua)來(lai)?幸虧我(wo)(wo)們主(zhu)公(gong)寬洪大度(du),沒(mei)有(you)(you)(you)(you)當面(mian)責(ze)怪你(ni),你(ni)的(de)話(hua)過(guo)(guo)于藐(miao)視他(ta)了(le)。”孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)仰面(mian)笑道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):“何(he)必這(zhe)(zhe)樣(yang)(yang)不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)能容人呢(ni)!我(wo)(wo)自(zi)有(you)(you)(you)(you)破(po)曹(cao)(cao)之(zhi)(zhi)計(ji),他(ta)不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)問(wen)(wen)我(wo)(wo),我(wo)(wo)怎(zen)(zen)敢說呢(ni)?”魯肅(su)(su)忙道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):“原(yuan)來(lai)先(xian)生(sheng)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)有(you)(you)(you)(you)良(liang)策的(de),我(wo)(wo)這(zhe)(zhe)就(jiu)去(qu)請主(zhu)公(gong)來(lai)向你(ni)求教(jiao)。”孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)說:“我(wo)(wo)看曹(cao)(cao)操(cao)(cao)的(de)百萬大軍,不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)過(guo)(guo)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)一(yi)群小螞蟻罷了(le),只要(yao)我(wo)(wo)一(yi)抬手,它們就(jiu)都(dou)(dou)成了(le)粉末。”魯肅(su)(su)經這(zhe)(zhe)么一(yi)說,便立(li)即到后堂(tang)去(qu)見(jian)(jian)孫權(quan)(quan)。孫權(quan)(quan)一(yi)聽(ting)(ting),轉怒(nu)為喜,道(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao)(dao):“原(yuan)來(lai)他(ta)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)用話(hua)在(zai)激(ji)(ji)我(wo)(wo)。”于是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)又出來(lai)與孔(kong)(kong)明(ming)(ming)互(hu)致(zhi)歉意(yi),討教(jiao)良(liang)策。
孔明說:“劉(liu)備雖新敗,但關云長仍帶有精兵萬(wan)人;劉(liu)琦在江夏也有萬(wan)人。曹兵雖多,卻是遠道(dao)而來(lai),征(zheng)戰疲憊,正(zheng)所謂‘強弩(nu)之末,勢不(bu)能穿(chuan)魯縞’。并(bing)且(qie)北方(fang)人不(bu)習(xi)慣(guan)于水(shui)戰。荊(jing)州(zhou)之民依附于曹操,是迫于當時的(de)形勢,而并(bing)不(bu)是出于本心(xin)(xin)所愿。將軍(jun)如(ru)果現在能誠心(xin)(xin)誠意地和劉(liu)備結成(cheng)聯盟,破曹之事必成(cheng)。曹軍(jun)敗了(le),自然退回(hui)北方(fang),那么荊(jing)州(zhou)和東吳的(de)勢力也就(jiu)加強了(le),三足(zu)鼎立的(de)局面也得以成(cheng)形。成(cheng)敗的(de)關鍵即在眼下,就(jiu)看將軍(jun)怎樣決斷了(le)。”

面對(dui)諸(zhu)儒的詰難,諸(zhu)葛亮(liang)神態自若,一一作答(da)(da),是為守(shou),然而他又不甘于只是作答(da)(da),每于答(da)(da)后發起攻勢。
東(dong)吳第一(yi)謀士張昭(zhao)(zhao)詰問(wen)諸(zhu)(zhu)葛(ge)亮(liang)(liang)自(zi)(zi)比(bi)管(guan)仲樂(le)毅(yi),而最(zui)終(zhong)卻使(shi)劉(liu)(liu)備(bei)(bei)(bei)“棄新(xin)野,走(zou)樊(fan)城,敗當(dang)陽,奔夏口,無(wu)(wu)容(rong)身之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)地”,“是豫州即得先(xian)(xian)(xian)生(sheng)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)后(hou),反(fan)(fan)不(bu)如其初也(ye)。”張昭(zhao)(zhao)此(ci)問(wen)著(zhu)實厲害(hai),李贄(zhi)評此(ci)句曰:“下(xia)得好(hao)毒(du)手”。諸(zhu)(zhu)葛(ge)亮(liang)(liang)笑(xiao)著(zhu)回(hui)(hui)答:“鵬飛萬(wan)(wan)里,其志豈群鳥能(neng)識哉?”以(yi)大(da)鵬自(zi)(zi)況,志在(zai)萬(wan)(wan)里;將群儒比(bi)作群鳥,胸無(wu)(wu)大(da)志。接(jie)下(xia)去(qu)運用(yong)(yong)(yong)比(bi)喻論(lun)(lun)證(zheng)(zheng)的(de)(de)(de)(de)方(fang)法,人染沉疴,當(dang)用(yong)(yong)(yong)和藥糜粥。而不(bu)可(ke)(ke)用(yong)(yong)(yong)猛藥厚(hou)味,說(shuo)明劉(liu)(liu)備(bei)(bei)(bei)取勝(sheng)尚(shang)需時日(ri).又(you)進一(yi)步用(yong)(yong)(yong)事(shi)(shi)實論(lun)(lun)證(zheng)(zheng)說(shuo)明自(zi)(zi)己的(de)(de)(de)(de)觀點(dian);“夫以(yi)甲兵(bing)不(bu)完(wan),城郭不(bu)固(gu),軍(jun)不(bu)經練,糧(liang)不(bu)繼日(ri),然而博望燒屯(tun),白河用(yong)(yong)(yong)水(shui)(shui),使(shi)夏侯(hou)惇、曹仁(ren)輩(bei)心(xin)驚(jing)膽裂:竊謂管(guan)仲、樂(le)毅(yi)用(yong)(yong)(yong)兵(bing),未必過此(ci)。”此(ci)段諸(zhu)(zhu)葛(ge)亮(liang)(liang)以(yi)充分的(de)(de)(de)(de)事(shi)(shi)實為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)論(lun)(lun)據,對(dui)(dui)(dui)“自(zi)(zi)比(bi)管(guan)仲樂(le)毅(yi)”之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)說(shuo)予以(yi)論(lun)(lun)證(zheng)(zheng),在(zai)鑿鑿事(shi)(shi)實面前張昭(zhao)(zhao)的(de)(de)(de)(de)非(fei)難不(bu)攻自(zi)(zi)破。諸(zhu)(zhu)葛(ge)亮(liang)(liang)將劉(liu)(liu)備(bei)(bei)(bei)的(de)(de)(de)(de)暫時之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)敗歸于(yu)三(san)個(ge)原因:一(yi)是劉(liu)(liu)備(bei)(bei)(bei)仁(ren)義(yi),不(bu)忍奪同(tong)宗基(ji)業,不(bu)忍舍棄赴(fu)義(yi)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)民,甘與同(tong)敗;二(er)是劉(liu)(liu)琮孱(chan)弱,聽信(xin)妄言(yan)(yan),暗自(zi)(zi)投(tou)降(jiang);三(san)是劉(liu)(liu)備(bei)(bei)(bei)向(xiang)日(ri)兵(bing)不(bu)滿千(qian),將止關、張、趙云(yun),“寡不(bu)敵(di)眾,勝(sheng)負乃其常事(shi)(shi)”,之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)后(hou)引(yin)用(yong)(yong)(yong)漢(han)高(gao)祖(zu)數(shu)敗于(yu)項羽而垓下(xia)一(yi)戰成功作類比(bi)論(lun)(lun)證(zheng)(zheng)說(shuo)明劉(liu)(liu)備(bei)(bei)(bei)失利是暫時的(de)(de)(de)(de),而取得最(zui)后(hou)的(de)(de)(de)(de)勝(sheng)利是必然的(de)(de)(de)(de)。進而歸納出漢(han)高(gao)祖(zu)的(de)(de)(de)(de)最(zui)終(zhong)勝(sheng)利靠(kao)的(de)(de)(de)(de)是韓信(xin)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)良謀,突(tu)出自(zi)(zi)己在(zai)劉(liu)(liu)備(bei)(bei)(bei)興復漢(han)室大(da)業中的(de)(de)(de)(de)重要(yao)作用(yong)(yong)(yong)。此(ci)段答張昭(zhao)(zhao)劉(liu)(liu)備(bei)(bei)(bei)得先(xian)(xian)(xian)生(sheng)反(fan)(fan)不(bu)如初之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)問(wen),水(shui)(shui)來(lai)土掩,滴水(shui)(shui)不(bu)漏。以(yi)上皆為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)防守(shou)(shou)(shou)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)舉。接(jie)著(zhu)話鋒一(yi)轉,將矛頭直指東(dong)吳群儒:“非(fei)比(bi)夸(kua)辯之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)徒,虛譽欺(qi)人;坐議立談,無(wu)(wu)人可(ke)(ke)及;臨機(ji)應(ying)變,百(bai)無(wu)(wu)一(yi)能(neng)。——誠為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)天下(xia)笑(xiao)耳!”李贄(zhi)評諸(zhu)(zhu)葛(ge)亮(liang)(liang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)反(fan)(fan)駁之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)論(lun)(lun)為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)“說(shuo)盡(jin)今(jin)日(ri)秀才病痛”。諸(zhu)(zhu)葛(ge)亮(liang)(liang)此(ci)舉攻勢(shi)凌(ling)厲,使(shi)對(dui)(dui)(dui)方(fang)“并無(wu)(wu)一(yi)言(yan)(yan)回(hui)(hui)答”。此(ci)乃先(xian)(xian)(xian)守(shou)(shou)(shou)后(hou)攻、攻守(shou)(shou)(shou)有度之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)辯論(lun)(lun)策略。對(dui)(dui)(dui)虞翻(fan)的(de)(de)(de)(de)“劉(liu)(liu)備(bei)(bei)(bei)大(da)敗猶言(yan)(yan)不(bu)懼曹實為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)大(da)言(yan)(yan)欺(qi)人”之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)語,諸(zhu)(zhu)葛(ge)亮(liang)(liang)只(zhi)以(yi)劉(liu)(liu)備(bei)(bei)(bei)寡不(bu)敵(di)眾,退守(shou)(shou)(shou)夏口,以(yi)待天時相應(ying),是為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)防守(shou)(shou)(shou),隨(sui)即便有“江東(dong)兵(bing)精糧(liang)足,且有長江之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)險,猶欲(yu)使(shi)其主(zhu)屈膝(xi)降(jiang)賊(zei),不(bu)顧天下(xia)恥(chi)笑(xiao)”之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)語來(lai)反(fan)(fan)攻,使(shi)虞翻(fan)不(bu)能(neng)對(dui)(dui)(dui)。后(hou)對(dui)(dui)(dui)步騭、薛綜等人的(de)(de)(de)(de)發難,孔(kong)明莫不(bu)用(yong)(yong)(yong)此(ci)先(xian)(xian)(xian)守(shou)(shou)(shou)后(hou)攻之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)法對(dui)(dui)(dui)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),使(shi)東(dong)吳的(de)(de)(de)(de)儒者一(yi)個(ge)個(ge)敗下(xia)陣來(lai)。
此法妙極。因有(you)(you)群(qun)儒詰(jie)問在先(xian),不容(rong)不答,故宜先(xian)守,且守得從(cong)容(rong),既曲(qu)盡事理,又(you)詳陳(chen)事實,將(jiang)對手的(de)詰(jie)問一一化(hua)解;又(you)因群(qun)儒來者不善,多(duo)有(you)(you)惡意,便于(yu)守住陣地后(hou)發起反攻(gong)(gong),使論(lun)辯進退(tui)有(you)(you)致,引人入勝。設若只(zhi)守不攻(gong)(gong),則必陷(xian)被(bei)動境地;若只(zhi)攻(gong)(gong)不守,失去了(le)據理陳(chen)詞(ci)的(de)部分(fen)(fen),使論(lun)辯僅(jin)僅(jin)停留在口舌(she)之(zhi)爭,則缺(que)乏以理服(fu)人的(de)成分(fen)(fen)。
諸葛亮以其高超的語言(yan)技巧使整(zheng)個論辯過(guo)程精彩紛呈,于(yu)有限的語句(ju)中(zhong)蘊含(han)極深的意味(wei),嚼之(zhi)余香滿口。在談到劉備新敗(bai)之(zhi)因時,諸葛亮說劉琮“暗自投降”,意在嘲諷東吳(wu)主降之(zhi)士,“非等閑(xian)可(ke)知也”,示張昭等皆(jie)等閑(xian)無(wu)能之(zhi)輩(bei);又云“社稷安危(wei),是有主謀”,寓昭等無(wu)定國安邦之(zhi)策,反以妖言(yan)惑主,實(shi)禍國殃民之(zhi)人。
步(bu)騭(zhi)指出諸葛(ge)亮(liang)(liang)欲效張儀、蘇秦的(de)游(you)說之舉,諸葛(ge)亮(liang)(liang)卻淡(dan)化張儀蘇秦二(er)人(ren)(ren)的(de)辯(bian)士身份,而突出其豪杰的(de)本色,強調二(er)人(ren)(ren)“皆有匡扶人(ren)(ren)國(guo)之謀”,點出儒者們無(wu)(wu)勇無(wu)(wu)謀,只知巧言論辯(bian),實則貪(tan)生怕死的(de)本質。諸葛(ge)亮(liang)(liang)避開某些辯(bian)士為一(yi)已之利(li)益而游(you)說的(de)特點,在突出其“匡扶人(ren)(ren)國(guo)”大(da)志的(de)同(tong)時,也為自(zi)己張目,我為匡扶人(ren)(ren)國(guo)而來,你們卻為葬送人(ren)(ren)國(guo)而辯(bian),孰高孰低,一(yi)目了然。
陸績以曹操是(shi)(shi)相國曹參(can)之(zhi)(zhi)后,劉備(bei)出身無可(ke)稽考相詰,“眼見只(zhi)是(shi)(shi)織席販屨(ju)之(zhi)(zhi)夫耳,何足與曹操抗衡(heng)哉!”諸葛亮(liang)(liang)先不(bu)直接回答問題,而是(shi)(shi)輕蔑地一(yi)笑,“公非(fei)袁術座間懷(huai)桔之(zhi)(zhi)陸郎乎?”諸葛亮(liang)(liang)此處(chu)提及此事(shi),表面(mian)看來似屬閑筆,實則頗(po)有深意(yi)。懷(huai)桔之(zhi)(zhi)事(shi)本為(wei)盡心事(shi)孝之(zhi)(zhi)典范,然而畢竟是(shi)(shi)小兒(er)所為(wei),懷(huai)桔小兒(er)之(zhi)(zhi)論必(bi)是(shi)(shi)小兒(er)之(zhi)(zhi)見,自(zi)然“不(bu)足與高士共語”。
諸葛亮答程德樞之(zhi)(zhi)語(yu)可(ke)分(fen)為(wei)(wei)兩層內(nei)容。一(yi)(yi)是(shi)論君子之(zhi)(zhi)儒的(de)風采(cai),“忠君愛國,守(shou)正惡邪,務(wu)使澤及當時,名留(liu)后世,”表面上(shang)為(wei)(wei)君子之(zhi)(zhi)儒正名,實為(wei)(wei)夫子自道也(ye);二是(shi)畫小(xiao)人之(zhi)(zhi)儒的(de)嘴(zui)臉,“筆下雖有千言,胸中(zhong)實無(wu)一(yi)(yi)策,”對大敵當前而群儒一(yi)(yi)籌莫展(zhan)予以辛辣的(de)諷刺,且以揚雄屈身事(shi)莽下場可(ke)悲昭示東吳小(xiao)人之(zhi)(zhi)儒不顧氣節屈膝(xi)投降必將留(liu)下千古罵名。
語帶雙(shuang)機(ji)之辯術充分顯(xian)示了諸(zhu)葛亮的(de)(de)論辯技巧,一石(shi)二鳥,弦外有音,以極精煉的(de)(de)語句表(biao)達極豐富的(de)(de)內容,頗(po)具戰斗力。似不經意中顯(xian)出(chu)智慧(hui),信手拈(nian)來時(shi)愈見功力。給(gei)人(ren)留(liu)下(xia)充分的(de)(de)想象余地。
對(dui)不同的人采(cai)取(qu)不同的方法擊(ji)敗(bai)對(dui)方,是諸葛亮舌戰群儒(ru)的又一大特(te)色。
對(dui)張(zhang)昭(zhao)(zhao),由于他(ta)是東(dong)吳重(zhong)臣,第(di)一(yi)謀(mou)士(shi),諸葛(ge)亮(liang)采取擒賊(zei)先擒王的策略,娓娓道來,嚴密防守之(zhi)后大舉進攻,使(shi)張(zhang)昭(zhao)(zhao)無一(yi)言可對(dui)。對(dui)張(zhang)昭(zhao)(zhao)的反駁洋(yang)(yang)洋(yang)(yang)灑(sa)灑(sa),周密細致,絲(si)絲(si)入扣,而對(dui)以下諸儒則多(duo)以簡潔明快的對(dui)答迅速結(jie)束(shu)戰(zhan)斗,不(bu)與(yu)多(duo)做糾纏。
在(zai)整個過程(cheng)中,諸(zhu)葛亮的(de)(de)(de)論辨(bian)藝術發揮得酣(han)暢淋(lin)漓(li),他(ta)面對(dui)(dui)(dui)群儒(ru)潮水般涌來的(de)(de)(de)詰難(nan),沉(chen)著(zhu)應(ying)戰,或引經(jing)(jing)(jing)據(ju)典(dian),或轉換(huan)論題,或厲聲責(ze)問,或反(fan)唇(chun)相譏(ji),可謂得心應(ying)手(shou),游(you)刃有(you)(you)余。如以韓信之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)謀(mou),揚(yang)雄之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)死(si)(si)來作(zuo)為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)論據(ju)幫助申明觀點(dian);對(dui)(dui)(dui)步騭的(de)(de)(de)“孔明欲效儀(yi)、秦之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)舌,游(you)說東(dong)吳耶?”之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)論棄(qi)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)不(bu)理,而從(cong)蘇、張(zhang)二人豪杰本(ben)(ben)色入手(shou),轉守為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)攻;對(dui)(dui)(dui)薛綜則厲聲責(ze)問:“薛敬文(wen)安得出(chu)此(ci)無(wu)父無(wu)君之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)言乎!”諸(zhu)葛亮抓(zhua)住(zhu)儒(ru)者(zhe)鼓(gu)吹忠孝為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)本(ben)(ben)的(de)(de)(de)特點(dian),以“君父”兩(liang)個正(zheng)大堂皇(huang)的(de)(de)(de)字(zi)眼(yan)喝倒薛綜,實(shi)在(zai)是(shi)擊(ji)到(dao)了對(dui)(dui)(dui)手(shou)的(de)(de)(de)致命(ming)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)處(chu),薛綜自然“滿面羞慚”;對(dui)(dui)(dui)陸績,諸(zhu)葛亮以不(bu)溫不(bu)火(huo)的(de)(de)(de)語(yu)調(diao)反(fan)唇(chun)相譏(ji),指出(chu)其以出(chu)身論英雄的(de)(de)(de)荒誕不(bu)經(jing)(jing)(jing),使陸績語(yu)塞。而對(dui)(dui)(dui)嚴峻的(de)(de)(de)“治(zhi)何經(jing)(jing)(jing)典(dian)”之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)法,諸(zhu)葛亮只以三句(ju)話(hua)回應(ying),首先認為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)“尋(xun)章摘句(ju)”者(zhe)為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)“世之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)腐儒(ru)”,并不(bu)能“興邦立(li)事”;既而舉(ju)(ju)例,伊尹、姜子牙(ya)、張(zhang)良、陳平、鄧、“皆有(you)(you)匡扶宇宙之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)才”,而并未死(si)(si)鉆書(shu)本(ben)(ben);最后總括為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)“舞(wu)文(wen)弄墨”只是(shi)書(shu)生所為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)。短短數(shu)語(yu),有(you)(you)理有(you)(you)據(ju),在(zai)一(yi)連(lian)串(chuan)的(de)(de)(de)古圣今賢的(de)(de)(de)列舉(ju)(ju)中反(fan)襯出(chu)書(shu)生的(de)(de)(de)無(wu)用,從(cong)而使以治(zhi)經(jing)(jing)(jing)典(dian)為(wei)(wei)(wei)(wei)榮(rong)的(de)(de)(de)嚴畯低頭喪氣。
詳(xiang)略(lve)的(de)不同(tong)、論(lun)辯方法的(de)不同(tong)顯示(shi)出諸葛亮的(de)機動靈(ling)活,詳(xiang)答老辣者,略(lve)對(dui)淺(qian)薄者,揮揮灑灑,左右(you)逢(feng)源,嘻(xi)笑怒罵,皆成文章,著實令人嘆服。
整個(ge)論(lun)辯過(guo)程中(zhong),諸(zhu)葛(ge)亮(liang)語勢(shi)磅礴,使(shi)對方懾服(fu)于(yu)他的語言威力,只有(you)招架(jia)之(zhi)(zhi)功,而(er)無反(fan)擊之(zhi)(zhi)力。這一(yi)點突出體現在(zai)他的反(fan)問(wen)(wen)語氣的運(yun)用上。如反(fan)詰張(zhang)(zhang)昭(zhao):“鵬飛萬里,其志豈(qi)群(qun)鳥能(neng)識(shi)哉?”“豫州(zhou)不過(guo)暫借以(yi)容身(shen),豈(qi)真將坐守(shou)于(yu)此耶?”“昔高(gao)皇數敗于(yu)項羽,而(er)垓下(xia)一(yi)戰成功,此非韓(han)信之(zhi)(zhi)良謀(mou)乎?”反(fan)擊步騭:“君等聞曹操虛(xu)發詐偽(wei)之(zhi)(zhi)詞,便(bian)畏懼請降,敢笑蘇秦、張(zhang)(zhang)儀乎?”對陸(lu)績(ji):“且高(gao)祖起(qi)身(shen)亭(ting)長,而(er)終有(you)天下(xia);織(zhi)席販屨,又何足為(wei)辱乎?”對嚴:“豈(qi)亦效書生,區(qu)區(qu)于(yu)筆硯之(zhi)(zhi)間,數黑論(lun)黃,舞(wu)文(wen)弄(nong)墨而(er)已乎?”……一(yi)連串(chuan)的反(fan)問(wen)(wen)句(ju),語勢(shi)強烈,咄咄逼人(ren)(ren),我們可(ke)以(yi)說,諸(zhu)葛(ge)亮(liang)舌戰群(qun)儒只所(suo)以(yi)耐(nai)人(ren)(ren)尋味(wei)百讀(du)不厭,在(zai)很大程度上得益(yi)于(yu)其論(lun)辯過(guo)程語勢(shi)的力量。在(zai)以(yi)理服(fu)人(ren)(ren)的基(ji)礎上,諸(zhu)葛(ge)亮(liang)更(geng)以(yi)其語言的氣勢(shi)壓倒了對手。
就(jiu)語句(ju)而言,也(ye)突出顯示(shi)了諸葛亮語言的(de)(de)氣勢(shi)。善(shan)用(yong)短句(ju)、排(pai)(pai)比(bi)(bi)對(dui)偶句(ju)該是其突出的(de)(de)特(te)點。短句(ju)的(de)(de)使用(yong)簡(jian)潔明快,適于論辯;排(pai)(pai)比(bi)(bi)句(ju)對(dui)偶句(ju)更(geng)有“壯氣勢(shi)廣文義”的(de)(de)修辭特(te)征,如“甲(jia)兵不完,城郭(guo)不固,軍不經練,糧不繼日”極言劉備當時(shi)所處(chu)的(de)(de)劣(lie)勢(shi)地位;諷小(xiao)(xiao)人之儒,則有“惟務雕蟲,專工翰墨,青春作賦,皓首窮(qiong)經,”可謂數盡小(xiao)(xiao)人儒者之弊。非語言大家無此上乘之作。
語勢(shi)磅(bang)礴源(yuan)于理直氣(qi)(qi)壯,“理直”是因,“氣(qi)(qi)壯”是果。在(zai)諸葛(ge)亮的(de)意識(shi)中,此番東吳之行乃為正義而(er)來(lai),故(gu)而(er)正氣(qi)(qi)浩(hao)然(ran),處變不驚。瀟灑(sa)的(de)風度、廣博的(de)學識(shi),使對(dui)手在(zai)氣(qi)(qi)勢(shi)上先(xian)輸了三分,加之諸葛(ge)亮一陣窮追猛打,遂有破竹之勢(shi)。
綜觀(guan)舌(she)戰群儒的(de)(de)整個(ge)過程,諸葛亮在東吳諸儒的(de)(de)詰問中從容做對(dui),侃侃而(er)談,縱(zong)橫捭闔,游刃有余,終使“張昭并無一(yi)言(yan)回答(da)”,“虞翻不能對(dui)”,“步(bu)騭默然無語”,“薛綜滿(man)面(mian)羞慚,不能對(dui)答(da)”,“陸(lu)績語塞”,“嚴畯低(di)頭喪(sang)氣不能對(dui)”,“程德(de)樞不能對(dui)”,以至眾人“盡皆失色”。真可謂三寸之舌(she)能抵百萬之兵(bing)。
總之,諸葛亮舌戰群儒風頭出盡,其嫻熟的(de)論辯技巧令人(ren)折服,堪(kan)稱(cheng)經典(dian),值得(de)當今(jin)習(xi)此道者深味。
東漢末期,曹(cao)操挾天子以令諸侯(hou),較有(you)實力的軍閥大(da)都被他消(xiao)滅了,惟獨劉備和孫權(quan)還有(you)發展(zhan)壯大(da)的可能,曹(cao)操自知一下(xia)子吞并這(zhe)兩股(gu)勢(shi)力還比較難。于是,曹(cao)操就派人(ren)拿著(zhu)他的書信去東吳,想(xiang)和孫權(quan)聯(lian)手消(xiao)滅劉備。
孫(sun)權(quan)手下(xia)的謀士大都主(zhu)張降曹自保,只(zhi)有魯肅主(zhu)張聯劉抗(kang)曹。但(dan)魯肅自知難以說服孫(sun)權(quan)和東(dong)吳的文(wen)臣,特(te)意請諸葛(ge)亮(liang)來當(dang)說客。
魯肅(su)引諸(zhu)葛亮見了(le)東吳的一群謀士,這些人(ren)并(bing)非泛泛之輩(bei),個個。都是有學問的人(ren)。東吳第一大(da)謀士張昭首先發(fa)難(nan),說:聽說劉備到你家里三趟,才把你請出山(shan),以為有了(le)你就如同魚得了(le)水,想奪(duo)取(qu)荊襄(xiang)九郡做根據地(di)。但荊襄(xiang)已被(bei)曹(cao)操得到,你還有什么主意呢?
諸葛(ge)亮心里想,如果不(bu)(bu)先(xian)難倒(dao)張(zhang)昭,就沒辦(ban)法(fa)說(shuo)服孫權聯劉抗曹了。諸葛(ge)亮說(shuo):劉備(bei)取(qu)荊襄(xiang)這塊地(di)盤,易如反掌,只是不(bu)(bu)忍(ren)心奪(duo)取(qu)同宗的基業(ye),才被(bei)曹操撿了便宜。現在屯(tun)兵江夏,另有宏圖大計(ji),等閑之(zhi)輩哪懂得(de)這個(ge)。國家大事(shi),社稷安危,都(dou)要有真才實學的人拿出好主意。而口(kou)舌之(zhi)徒,坐而論道(dao),碰(peng)上事(shi)兒(er),卻(que)拿不(bu)(bu)出一個(ge)辦(ban)法(fa)來,只能為天(tian)下(xia)人恥(chi)笑(xiao)。一番(fan)話,說(shuo)得(de)張(zhang)昭啞口(kou)無言。
之后,一個謀士問:曹操屯(tun)兵(bing)(bing)百萬,將列千員(yuan),你說(shuo)不怕,吹牛(niu)吧(ba)你。諸葛亮答:劉備退守(shou)夏口,是等待時機,而東吳兵(bing)(bing)精糧足,還有長(chang)江(jiang)天險(xian)可守(shou),卻(que)都勸孫權降(jiang)曹,丟(diu)人吧(ba)你。
東吳的謀士一個接一個地(di)向(xiang)諸葛亮發難,先后(hou)有七(qi)人之多,都被(bei)諸葛亮反駁得有口難辯。
