If you want to live, don’t die. Let’s talk about history. Today I will answer the topic of Zhuge Liang’s service to Liu Bei. First of all, let’s popularize who Zhuge Liang is. Zhuge Liang (181-October 8, 234), named Kong Ming, nicknamed Wolong, was born in Yangdu, Langya, Xuzhou (now Yinan County, Linyi City, Shandong Province).
Look at his achievements. He took up the official position of Prime Minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. Let’s look at the position given to him by history as an outstanding statesman, military strategist, diplomat, writer, calligrapher, and inventor. These are enough to illustrate the need for us to talk about him, because people are afraid of being famous, and people are afraid of being strong. The fear of being famous is the fear of people making irresponsible remarks. Mr. Zhuge Liang should have been commented on by future generations N times, no less than this time.
Liu Bei is the emperor of Shu and the one who is served, so I won’t go into detail about him, but as the embodiment of justice in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he is still very attractive. Anyway, as an audience, Deep down in my heart, I always hope that the Shu Kingdom led by Liu Bei will win. Whenever I see Zhuge Liang, who serves him, commanding the Shu army to win a battle, I feel very comfortable. Of course, losing a battle is relatively uncomfortable.
As we all know, Zhuge Liang did not go around giving advice to others from the beginning. Judging from the allusion of visiting the thatched cottage three times in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang is still very capable. Of course, this kind of treatment also arouses the readers It also increases Zhuge's mystery. Putting aside other things, this incident shows that Zhuge Liang was hired by Liu Bei to provide services. It is different from other counselors who defected to Liu Bei. It is really different.
That year was the twelfth year of Jian'an (AD 207). Zhuge Liang officially came out to assist Liu Bei and began to serve. Let's talk about the service content. His service to Liu Bei was not to serve Liu Bei or lead the horse. His main service content was to provide ideas, and big ideas.
Let’s look at the breakdown in this paragraph. When Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang, he was actually not asking for his favor, but was being chased around. He also had a hobby of taking the people who supported him with him wherever he went, as if to satisfy the need for someone to call him "Lord" anytime and anywhere. After struggling to get Zhuge Liang to follow the service, Zhuge Liang first used his achievements to tell him a truth, good things come hard. Zhuge Liang first talked about Longzhong and analyzed the major events in the world, which suddenly made Liu Bei enlightened. Then he followed suit and joined forces with Sun Yat-sen to fight against Cao Cao and defeated Cao's army in the Battle of Chibi. It formed a tripartite power among the Three Kingdoms and captured Jingzhou. In the 16th year of Jian'an (211), Yizhou was captured. Then he defeated Cao Jun and captured Hanzhong. In the first year of Shu Zhangwu (221), Liu Bei established the Shu Han regime in Chengdu, and Zhuge Liang was appointed prime minister to preside over the government. With Zhuge Liang's service, Liu Bei will be the emperor. Liu Bei is really lucky to have such service personnel.
It is not easy to conquer a country, but it is even harder to sit on a country, as Liu Bei seems to be talking about.
Liu Bei may have been a bit arrogant when he became emperor. He insisted on conducting personal conquests, and he was also guilty of the pride problem of "I have walked on more bridges than you have walked. As a result, he was embarrassed and even more painful, he refused at all costs." In 223 AD, Liu Bei died of illness in Yong'an.
