What are the stories of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei?
1. The story of three visits to the thatched cottage
failed in the war with Cao Cao. Cao Cao wanted to take this opportunity to take Xu Shu, a civil servant around Liu Bei, and set a scam. Cao Cao lied that his mother was critically ill and needed him to go home in time. When Xu Shu was about to go home, he told Liu Bei a secret to unify the whole country, that is, to go to Wolong to find a man named Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei was very happy when he heard the good news. He couldn't wait to meet Zhuge Liang. Sure enough, he led two of his men to visit Zhuge Liang in Wolong the next day. As a result, because communication was still inconvenient at that time, he couldn't make an appointment. The first visit happened to be Zhuge Liang's trip, so his first visit failed.
of course, Liu Bei won't give up. A few days later, he went down to visit Zhuge Liang with his hand. The weather that day was very bad, but it couldn't stop him from visiting Zhuge Liang. I finally arrived, but I still didn't see Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang happened to go out with his friends. I still didn't see Zhuge Liang this time. Liu Bei gave Zhuge Liang a letter and left.
After the New Year, Liu Bei went to visit again. This time Zhuge Liang was finally at home, but it happened that he was resting, so Liu Bei waited outside for a long time. When Zhuge Liang woke up, Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang and told him his own ideas, hoping to help him succeed. After some discussion, Zhuge Liang agreed to Liu Bei's request.
2. The story of an orphan in Baidicheng
Liu Bei was burned by Wu and retreated to Baidicheng after a crushing defeat. When Zhuge Liang came, Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang, "If you think A Dou is the material to be an emperor, you can help him. If he is not the material to be an emperor, you can depose him. Be an emperor yourself." On hearing this, Zhuge Liang immediately knelt down and said, I will wholeheartedly assist Liu Chan, and I will never dare to be emperor myself. I will do my best until I die.
3. The story of Liu Bei taking Jingzhou by accident
When Cao Cao went south, Liu Biao was dead and Liu Cong succeeded him as the master of Jingzhou. Liu Bei retreated to the south, and Zhuge Liang advised Liu Bei to attack Liu Cong and seize Jingzhou while passing Xiangyang. However, Liu Bei didn't adopt this opinion, so there was the defeat of Dangyang and Battle of Red Cliffs.
4. The story of persuading Liu Bei to proclaim himself emperor
After Liu Bei acquired Yizhou and Hanzhong, the conditions for declaring himself emperor and founding the country were ripe. So the ministers advised Liu Bei to be the emperor, but Liu Bei did not agree immediately. At this time, Zhuge Liang took Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty as an example to earnestly persuade Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei quickly put down his ideological burden and established the Shu-Han regime.
5. The story of a war of words and a group of Confucianism
Cao Cao's army set up a village along the river and prepared to annex Jiangdong. Dongwu monarch and ministers are in doubt and fear, and it is difficult to decide whether to fight or not. Zhuge Liang used his strategy to discuss the world affairs with Dongwu ministers, and argued with clever tongue, persuading them and Sun Quan to unite with Liu Bei against Cao.
