Why did Zhuge Liang invite Liu Bei three times?

During Liu Bei's new army, Xu Shu, a counselor, and Si Mahui, a famous scholar, recommended Zhuge Liang, who lived in seclusion in Longzhong, as a wizard to help the monarch successfully unify the world. Liu Bei went to heaven and took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Longzhong today to invite Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain.

When they first came to Zhuge Liang's hut in Wollongong, Longzhong, buddhist nun came out and said, "Mr. Wang went out this morning and his whereabouts are uncertain. I don't know when he will come back."

Liu Bei was disappointed and told buddhist nun, "When Mr. Zhuge comes back, tell him that Liu Bei is visiting." He returned to Xinye with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

A few days later, Liu Bei sent messengers to inquire about the news. The messenger reported, "Mr. Wolong is back."

Liu Bei was very happy and ordered to prepare the horse.

Zhang Fei said discontentedly: "A small rural villager; Brother, why not meet in person? Send someone to call him. "

Liu Bei scolded: "Zhuge Liang is a contemporary saint, how can he be summoned!" Guan and Zhang mounted the horse and followed.

It was winter and dark clouds were gathering. After walking for several miles, the north wind was blowing hard and the snow was falling heavily. Zhang Fei said, "It's freezing, so it's better to go back to shelter from the wind and snow."

Liu Bei said: "I want Zhuge Liang to know that I really value the will of talents, which is the first priority of employing people." If you are afraid of the cold, go back first. "

Zhang Fei said, "I'm not afraid of death. Am I still afraid of the cold? It's just that Boge is wasting time thinking and energy. "

The three men walked into the thatched cottage. They didn't meet Zhuge Liang, but only saw his brother Zhuge Jun.

Zhuge Jun said, "My brothers and friends went out for a walk yesterday."

Liu Bei said, "Where are you wandering?"

Zhuge Jun said, "Although there are contacts, I don't know where to go. When my brother returns home, he should return the gift. "

Liu Bei said, "How can you please Mr Zhuge? I'll come back in a few days. " Then I borrowed a pen and paper to write a passage to show my admiration for Zhuge Liang. Write it, hand it to Zhuge Jun, say goodbye and go back to Xinye.

Time flies, and the Spring Festival is coming soon. Liu Bei chose the auspicious day of the zodiac, fasted for three days, bathed and changed clothes, and then went to Wollongong to visit Zhuge Liang.

Guan Gong said, "My brother went there twice, and the etiquette reached its peak. I thought Zhuge Liang was a figurehead and deliberately avoided it. "

Zhang Fei called, "Brother He, I'll get a rope to tie him up."

Liu Bei scolded, "Don't be rude! In ancient times, Qi Huangong visited Dongguoye five times and met him. What's more, I have to meet the Great Sage? I won't go today, I'll take my second brother. "

Zhang Fei said, "My brothers are going. How dare my younger brother fall behind? "

Liu Bei said, "Don't be rude if you want to leave!"

Approaching the thatched cottage, I met Zhuge Liang and said Zhuge Liang was in the house. Liu Bei was overjoyed and buddhist nun said, "Sir, sleep in the thatched cottage."

Liu Bei told buddhist nun not to disturb him. He just dismounted and stood at the door, waiting under the stone steps. After waiting for a long time, Zhuge Liang didn't get up.

Zhang Fei was furious. "This guy is too arrogant. Let me set a fire behind the house and see if he wakes up. "

Guan Gong persuaded him again and again. Liu Bei waited for two or three hours before seeing Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was moved by Liu Bei's sincerity and humility. After discussing some countermeasures about the general trend of the world with Liu Bei, he finally agreed to go out and help Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is good at letting talented people do their best for him until he dies. What great wisdom, great wisdom!
