Stories about Zhuge Liang

Zhuge Liang’s deeds and Zhuge Liang’s story

The first version:

Three visits to the thatched cottage

When Liu Bei settled in Xinye, he realized the reason why he had wasted half his life. Although there were fierce generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei around him, they had no advisers to make plans and strategies, so they sought good help from virtuous corporals. On the recommendation of Sima Hui and Xu Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei came to Xiangyang Longzhong to visit Zhuge Liang.

When they first came to the thatched cottage, Liang had already gone out, and the three of them met Liang's friend Cui Zhouping on their way back; a few days later, Liu, Guan, and Zhang braved the wind and snow to visit the thatched cottage. On the way, I met Liang's good friends Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei. When he arrived at the thatched cottage, he saw Liang's younger brother Zhuge Jun. Only then did he know that Liang had gone on a trip, so he prepared to leave a note expressing his admiration. When returning, he met Liang's father-in-law, Huang Chengyan, by the small bridge at the foot of Longzhong Mountain. After a while, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei visited the thatched cottage three times, and they happened to find Liang at home, but he had not woken up from his nap. Liu Bei asked Guan and Zhang to wait outside the door. He walked in slowly and stood at the foot of the stairs with his hands folded. They did not meet each other until they woke up. [Sangu Hall: Built in the 58th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1719 AD), it is the memorial hall of Liu Bei's "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" and Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Dui". ]

Longzhong vs.

After the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei fled to Jingzhou and defected to Liu Biao. Liu Biao assigned him some troops and stationed him in Xinye (now Xinye County, Henan).

Liu Bei was an ambitious man. Because his ambitions were not realized, he was always unhappy. He wanted to find a good assistant. He found out that there was a famous person named Sima Hui in Xiangyang, so he went to visit him.

Sima Hui said: "There are Wolong and Fengchu (sound chú) in this area. If you can invite one of them, you can pacify the world." Sima Hui told Liu Bei: Wolong's name is Zhuge Liang. , whose courtesy name is Kongming; Fengchu's name is Pang Tong, whose courtesy name is Shiyuan.

Xu Shu was also a local celebrity. He came to join him because he heard that Liu Bei was recruiting talents. Liu Bei was very happy and kept Xu Shu as a counselor. Xu Shu said: "I have an old friend Zhuge Kongming, people call him Wolong. General, would you like to meet him?" Liu Bei listened to Xu Shu's introduction and said, "Since you are so familiar with him, please take the trouble to go there." , invite him here!" Xu Shu shook his head and said, "This is not possible. The general must invite him in person to show your sincerity."

Liu Bei heard Sima. Hui and Xu Shu respected Zhuge Liang and knew that Zhuge Liang must be a great talent, so they took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Longzhong to find Zhuge Liang. After visiting the thatched cottage three times, Zhuge Liang was finally moved by Liu Bei's sincerity and received Liu Bei in his thatched cottage.

Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's humility in asking for advice, so he talked to Liu Bei about his ideas from the bottom of his heart. He said: "Now Cao Cao has defeated Yuan Shao and has a million troops, and he has held the emperor hostage to issue orders. This means we cannot compete with him just by force. Sun Quan has occupied Jiangdong for three generations. The terrain of Jiangdong is dangerous, and now the people To join him, there are still a group of talented people working for him. It seems that we can only unite with him and not take his ideas."

Then Zhuge Liang analyzed Jingzhou and Yizhou (today's Sichuan, China). Yunnan and part of Shaanxi, Gansu, Hubei, and Guizhou) believed that Jingzhou was an important military location, but Liu Biao could not defend this place. Yizhou has fertile and vast land and has always been called the "Land of Abundance". However, the owner Liu Zhang was also a cowardly and incompetent man, and everyone was dissatisfied with him.

Finally, he said: "The general is a descendant of the royal family and is famous all over the world. If you can occupy Jing and Yi states, unite with Sun Quan externally, and rectify internal affairs internally, once you have the opportunity, you can start from They marched on both sides of Jingzhou and Yizhou to attack Cao Cao. By then, who would not welcome the general? If we can do this, our achievements will be accomplished and the Han Dynasty will be restored." Liu Bei heard this from Zhuge Liang. After some incisive and thorough analysis, my thoughts suddenly became enlightened. He felt that Zhuge Liang's talent was rare, so he sincerely asked Zhuge Liang to come out and help him complete the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang then came out to assist Liu Bei.

Later, people called this incident "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" and Zhuge Liang's conversation was called "Longzhong Dui". (It is said to be Longzhong, Xiangyang, or Nanyang. It is difficult to decide?)

Wuzhangyuan

Wuzhangyuan is located in Qishan County, Baoji City, 130 kilometers east of Xi'an and 56 kilometers west of Baoji. kilometers, 25 kilometers north of Qishan County. It is more than 20 meters high and covers an area of ??about 12 square kilometers. Wuzhangyuan is surrounded by Qipan Mountain in the south and Weihe River in the north. The east and west sides are deep gullies carved by the river, making it a dangerous situation. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang stationed troops in Wuzhangyuan to fight against Sima Yi. He later died of illness in Wuzhangyuan due to overwork, and Wuzhangyuan became famous all over the world. It was Zhuge Liang's last battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period.

In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang led his troops from Hanzhong, passed through the Qinling Mountains, and stationed at Wuzhangyuan. When we first arrived, we were short of food and grass, so we first settled in the fields to train our troops and waited to attack Wei. Wei general Sima Yi was well aware of Zhuge Liang's clever plan, so he stayed on the north bank of the Wei River and did not dare to send troops rashly. The two sides remained in a stalemate for a hundred days at Wuzhangyuan without fighting. Zhuge Liang had to lure Wei soldiers into Hulugou to fight, and set fire to the mouth of the valley in order to defeat Wei general Sima Yi. Unexpectedly, a heavy rain caused the Wei army to escape death. In the autumn of the same year, Zhuge Liang died of illness in the army, and the Shu army was defeated. When Sima Yi entered the place where Zhuge Liang was commanding the battle, he saw the dangerous position of the Shu army and exclaimed: "He is a genius in the world.

"In order to commemorate Zhuge Liang, later generations built a temple here.

According to local folklore, when Zhuge Liang died, a star fell from the sky, so this name was given. The place where Zhuge Liang was working in the fields was called "Zhuge Tian" ". The place where Zhuge Liang set up military tents to command operations still has the remains of a half-meter-high city wall, which is about 250 meters long from north to south and nearly 100 meters wide from east to west. The local people named this small castle "Huoluo City". To the south of Huoluo City On the hillside of the Qinling Mountains, there is a flat stone with lines like a chessboard. It is said that Zhuge Liang played chess here, so the mountain was named "Chessboard Mountain". Many "Zhuge Pots" have been found in the soil of Wuzhangyuan. , there are official script characters from the Han Dynasty cast on the iron pot. Wudayuan is now a farmland. Visitors here always want to find the remains and rumors of the ancient battlefield. There is a river bay in the middle of the farmland, which is called Luoxing Bay in the bay. The village is called Luoxingbao.

There is Zhuge Liang Temple at the north end of Wuzhangyuan. It was built in the early Yuan Dynasty and was rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are paintings of Three Kingdoms stories on the walls of the temple, such as Ancient City Meeting and Empty City Plan. , Three Battles with Lu Bu, etc. There are 40 pieces of bluestone inlaid under the mural. The stone is inscribed with Yue Fei's handwriting, and the handwriting is vigorous and powerful. In front of the stone, there is a stone inscription by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang praising Yue Fei: "pure and unobtrusive, his writing is like his person". Xiangyang Longzhong, also said to be Nanyang, is it difficult to determine?)

The story of Zhuge Liang

Eating melons and leaving seeds

Zhuge Liang was not only able to grow good crops, but also He has a good skill in growing watermelons. There was a rule in Xiangyang area: you can eat enough melons when entering the watermelon garden, but you cannot take away the melon seeds. Legend has it that Ge Liang was invited to stay.

The watermelons grown by Zhuge Liang are large, sweet, and sour. Everyone who comes to Longzhong as a guest or passes by has to go to the melon garden to feast on them. The old farmers around him come to learn from him how to grow melons. He told them without reservation that the melons should be planted on sandy soil and covered with sesame cakes or sesame seeds. Many people came to ask for watermelon seeds. Because they had not paid attention to the melon seeds before, many people had to leave disappointed. The garden was opened again, and he put a sign on the ground that read: "Eat the melon tubes, but leave the melon seeds." ”

Zhuge Liang washed the melon seeds, dried them, and distributed them to nearby melon farmers. Today, the watermelons from Jiajia Lake, Changfengzhou, and Xiaofanzhou on the sandy land on both sides of the Han River are still famous, and they are big. , thin skin, sweet taste, some places still follow the old rule of "eating melons and leaving seeds"

A magical plan to save future generations

The truth of this matter cannot be verified. Judging from the records, there is still a possibility.

According to legend, Zhuge Liang said to his descendants before his death: "After my death, one of you will encounter a fatal disaster in the future. At that time, you have demolished the house and there is a paper package inside the wall with a remedy. "

After Zhuge Liang's death, Sima O conquered the world and became the emperor. He learned that one of the generals in the court was a descendant of Zhuge Liang, so he wanted to punish him. One day, Sima O found an excuse. , condemned the general to death. In the Golden Palace, Sima O asked: "What did your grandfather say before he died?" "The general told him exactly what Zhuge Liang said. After hearing this, the general ordered the soldiers to tear down the house and take out the paper package. There was a letter inside the paper package, which said "Encounter. The emperor opened it." The soldiers handed the letter to 0. 0 opened the letter and saw the words inside: "Return three steps after the visit. 0 immediately stood up and took three steps back. As soon as he stood firm, he heard a "click" sound. 0 A piece of jade fell from the roof facing the dragon case. The table and chairs were smashed to pieces. 0 was shocked. I broke out in a cold sweat. Then I looked at the back of the letter and wrote, "I saved your life, please save the lives of my descendants." "After reading this letter, I secretly admired Zhuge Liang's ingenuity. Later, he reinstated the general officer

Zhuge Liang's Bagua Yi

In both dramas and pictures, Zhuge Liang is Wearing the Bagua Clothes, he is able to strategize and conquer thousands of miles. According to folklore, Zhuge Liang's Bagua Clothes were given to him by his wife for his diligence and studiousness.

When Zhuge Liang was a boy, he studied under Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui. Not only did Sima Decao appreciate him for his hard work and diligent use of his brain, but Sima's wife also thought highly of him. They all liked this young boy who was diligent and good at using his brain. At that time, there were no clocks and sundial was used to keep time, even when it was raining. There is no sun, so it is difficult to control the time. In order to keep track of time, Sima Hui trained the rooster to crow on time. Zhuge Liang was talented and could understand what Mr. Sima said. To learn more, he wanted his teacher to extend the lecture time, but his teacher always took the rooster's crowing as the criterion, so Zhuge Liang thought: If the rooster's crowing time is extended, the teacher's lecture time will also be extended. So he would bring some grain in his pocket when he went to school, and when the chicken was about to crow, he would feed it some grain, and the chicken would stop crowing once it was full.

After some time, Mr. Sima felt that the chicken was about to crow. I wonder why the chicken doesn't crow on time? After careful observation, I found that Zhuge Liang fed the chicken when it was about to crow. When Mr. Sima was in class, he asked the students why the chicken didn't crow on time. The other students were confused. He knew it in his heart, but he was an honest person, so he truthfully reported to Mr. Sima that he fed the chicken when it was about to crow to extend the teacher's teaching time. Mr. Sima was very angry and burned his book on the spot to prevent him from doing so. Continue to study. Zhuge Liang was eager to learn, but he couldn't study hard, so he went to ask Mrs. Sima.

Sima Fu felt deep sympathy after hearing that Ge Liang was punished for asking him to feed chickens to study, so he interceded with Mr. Sima. Mr. Sima said: "You are so young. If you don't work hard on your homework, you will use your mind to deceive the teacher. This is a bad intention, and this person should not be promoted." Mrs. Sima repeatedly interceded for Zhuge Liang, saying that even though he was young, he used his skills. I'm a bit cautious, but it's always for the sake of learning more, and I don't have any other plans. After hearing this, Mr. Sima felt that it made sense and agreed to Zhuge Liang to continue studying.

Mr. Sima burned Zhuge Liang's books in anger. After his wife persuaded him, he agreed that Zhuge Liang should continue studying. But how can you read without a book? My wife said to Mr. Sima: "You have a thousand-year-old turtle shell. It is said that if you wear it on your body, you can know the past for a thousand years and the future for five hundred years. You might as well let Zhuge Liang give it a try. If it works "What do you want the book for?" Mr. Sima thought that the book had been burned, so he had no choice but to do as his wife said.

Zhuge Liang put the turtle shell given by his master on his body, and it became his life-long clothing - Bagua Yi. What he had learned in the past was still vivid in his mind, and he could understand the things that the teacher had not taught. a bit.

Zhuge Liang’s Goose Feather Fan

Zhuge Liang’s Goose Feather Fan represents wisdom and talent, so in dramas about Zhuge Liang, Kong Ming always holds a goose feather fan in his hand.

Regarding the goose feather fan, there is a popular story among the people. Huang Chengyan’s daughter Huang Yueying is not ugly, but a very smart, beautiful and talented girl. Huang Chengyan was afraid that promising young people would not recognize Jingshan jade, so he called his daughter "A Chou". Ah Chou Huang Yueying not only writes eloquently, but also has outstanding martial arts skills. She once studied under a famous teacher. When Yicheng came down the mountain, the master gave her a goose feather fan with the words "Ming" and "Liang" written on it. The two characters also contain densely packed strategies for conquering cities and territories and governing the country. He also told her that anyone with the word "Ming Ming" in his name is your rightful husband. Later, Huang Chengyan's son-in-law riding a dragon was Zhuge Liang, the future prime minister of Shu who had the two characters "ming" and "liang" in his name. When she got married, Huang Yueying gave Zhuge Liang a goose feather fan as a gift. Kong Ming loved the goose feather fan like a pearl in his palm and was inseparable. In doing so, he not only expresses the sincere and undying love between their husband and wife, but more importantly, he skillfully uses Shan Shang's strategy. So no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, I always keep my fan in hand.

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Xiangyang observation envoy Zhao Hongen wrote in "Zhuge Thatched Cottage Poems": "The fan shakes the three-pointed cauldron of the moon, and the eight formations of dark and gloomy stones form a picture." This is enough to prove that Zhuge Liang is holding a goose feather in his hand. The function of the fan and the reason why he never leaves his hand.

NOTE: Nanyang Wuhou Temple also has a saying of "visiting the thatched cottage three times", which is difficult to conclude. Everyone can watch it.

Zhuge Liang's "Execution of the Discipline"

The minister said clearly: The late emperor had not started his business half way, but the middle path collapsed; today it is three points lower, Yizhou is exhausted, this is the autumn of life and death of the sincerity. also. However, the ministers of the bodyguard are tireless in their internal affairs, while those who are loyal and lofty ideals forget about themselves and the outside world: I want to repay the special treatment of the late Emperor to His Majesty. It is sincerely appropriate to open the door to Shengting to honor the legacy of the late emperor and to magnify the spirit of lofty ideals; it is not appropriate to belittle oneself, to use metaphors that are unjust, and to block the road of loyalty and admonishment. In the palace and in the mansion, they are all integrated; there should be no similarities or differences in terms of punishments and punishments: if there are those who commit crimes and are loyal and good, they should be handed over to an official to discuss their punishments and rewards, so as to show your Majesty's rule of peace; it is not suitable to be partial and make different laws inside and outside. also. The ministers in charge, Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, etc., are all good and honest, with pure intentions and loyal intentions. Therefore, the late emperor simply removed them and left them to Your Majesty: I foolishly thought that the matters in the palace were not big or small, so I consulted them carefully and then implemented them. , it will surely make up for the shortcomings and bring about widespread benefits. The general Xiang Chong was of good character and well-versed in military affairs. He tried it out in the past. The late emperor called him "Neng" and he was elected as the superintendent by the consensus of the public. He thought that things in the camp were not big or small, so he took them into consideration. It will be able to make the formation harmonious, and the good and the bad will be able to find their place. Being close to virtuous ministers and staying away from villains is why the early Han Dynasty prospered; being close to villains and being distant from virtuous ministers is why the later Han Dynasty declined. When the late Emperor was here, every time he discussed this matter with his ministers, he would always sigh and hate Huan and Ling! Shizhong, Shangshu, Changshi, and the army are all ministers who have passed away on the occasion of Zhenliang's death. I hope Your Majesty will love them and trust them, so that the Han Dynasty will be prosperous. You can count on these days.

I am a commoner, working hard in Nanyang, trying to survive in troubled times, and not seeking to learn and reach the princes. The late emperor did not think that his ministers were despicable, and he was in vain. He paid three visits to his ministers in the thatched cottage, and consulted them about the affairs of the world. He was so grateful that he allowed the late emperor to drive away. Later, when the army was overthrown, he was appointed to the position when the army was defeated, and he was ordered to be in danger: You have been here for twenty-one years. The late emperor was cautious in informing his ministers, so when he was about to die, he sent his ministers great news. Since receiving the order, I have been worried day and night, fearing that the entrustment would not be effective and would damage the late emperor's wisdom. Therefore, I crossed Lu in the fifth month and reached a barren depth. Now that the south has been secured, and the armor and troops are sufficient, it is time to reward the three armies, and to the north to secure the central plains, to exhaust the common people and the dull, to drive out the traitors, to revive the Han Dynasty, and to return to the old capital: This is why I repay the late emperor and serve your majesty loyally. As for considering profits and losses, and giving good advice, then you, yi, yun, etc. are all responsible. May your Majesty ask his ministers to bring the thief back to life, and if it fails, he will be punished, so as to report the spirit of the late emperor. If there is no word of revival, blame You, Yi, Yun, etc., to show his slowness. It is also advisable for Your Majesty to make your own plans, consult the good people, listen to the elegant words, and follow the late emperor's edict deeply. I am extremely grateful! Now I should stay away from you, crying in front of my face, not knowing what I mean.

Zhuge Liang's "The Later Disciple's Biao"

The first emperor was worried about the conflict between the Han Dynasty and the thieves, and the king's career was not peaceful, so he asked his ministers to fight against the thieves. Based on the wisdom of the late emperor, the talents of ministers were measured. Therefore, knowing that ministers are capable of defeating thieves will only weaken the enemy's strength. However, if the thieves are not defeated, the royal industry will also perish. Who can attack him if he just sits there and awaits death? This is why I entrust my ministers with no doubts. On the day when I received the order, I could not sleep well, and my food was not tasty. I was thinking about the northern expedition, so I should go to the south first. Therefore, I crossed Lu in the fifth month, went deep into the barren area, and ate by the sun.

--I am not without pity for myself: I don't care about the king's career and can't be content with the capital of Shu, so I can't fulfill the late emperor's wishes at the risk of danger. But those who discussed it said it was not a plan. Nowadays, the thieves are tired of being in the west and are busy in the east. The art of war is to "take advantage of the labor": this is the time to advance. I would like to state the matter as follows: Emperor Gao was in the Ming Dynasty and the sun and the moon were together, and his advisers were deeply involved. However, he was involved in danger and was wounded, and he was safe after danger. Now that your majesty has not reached Emperor Gao, his advisers are not as good as good and peaceful, but he wants to win with long-term strategies and control the world: This minister One of them has not yet been solved. Liu Yao and Wang Lang, each based in the prefectures and counties, discussed the plan of peace and quiet, and attracted the saints. They were full of doubts and troubles. They did not fight this year and did not conquer next year, so that Sun Ce became powerful and merged with Jiangdong. What is the future of this minister? Solution two. Cao Cao's wisdom and plan were second to none. His use of troops was similar to that of Sun and Wu. However, he was trapped in Nanyang, in danger of Wuchao, in danger of Qilian, forced in Liyang, almost defeated Beishan, and almost died in Tongguan, and then pretended to be settled for a while. Er; the situation is that the minister is weak in talent, but he wants to make sure that he is not in danger: this minister has three unsolved problems. Cao Cao failed to attack Changba five times, and failed to cross Chaohu. He appointed Li Fu, but Li Fu tried his best, and appointed Xiahou, but Xiahou was defeated. Every time the late emperor said that Cao Cao was capable, he still failed like this. How can he win with a crossbow? This minister's question is not clear. Four. When I arrived in Hanzhong, I lost Zhao Yun, Yang Qun, Ma Yu, Yan Zhi, Ding Li, Bai Shou, Liu He, Deng Tong, etc., and drove more than 70 generals from Changtun. Cong Sou, Qing Qiang, and more than a thousand scattered cavalry and armed cavalry. Within a few decades, the elites from all four directions were gathered together, which is not owned by one state. If it takes several years, two-thirds will be lost. --Why should I seek an enemy? This minister has five unsolved problems. Nowadays, the people are exhausted and the army is exhausted, but things cannot stop; things cannot stop, so the labor and expenses of living and traveling are equal. It is not as good as the present picture. If you want to use the land of a state to fight against the thieves for a long time: this minister has six unsolved problems.

Those who find it difficult to calm down are things. In the past, the first emperor was defeated by Chu. At this time, Cao Cao raised his hand and said that the world was settled. --Then the late emperor connected Wu and Yue to the east, took Ba and Shu to the west, raised his troops to march north, and was led by the Marquis of Xia: This was a miscalculation, and the Han Dynasty was about to succeed. --Then Wu Geng violated the alliance, Guan Yu was defeated, Zigui fell into disgrace, and Cao Pi became emperor: everything is like this and it is difficult to reverse it. The minister devoted himself to death and died; as for success or failure, it is not the minister's wisdom that can reverse it.

Mourning for Zhou Yu

Oh Gong Jin, unfortunately died young! Wouldn't it hurt people if they shorten the old heaven? My heart is really aching, so I have a glass of wine. If you are wise, please enjoy my steaming and tasting! To encourage the king to learn from a young age, to hand over the talisman to the uncle; to show righteousness and spread wealth, to make sacrifices for the people. Hanging the king's crown is weak, and the wind is flying thousands of miles away; establishing hegemony and separatist rule in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor is strong and strong, and Baqiu is far away; the scenery rises and worries, and there is no need to worry about rebellion. The emperor's abundance makes him a good match for Xiao Qiao; the son-in-law of a Han minister is worthy of his dynasty; the emperor's spirit is worthy of his dynasty; he accepts advice and advice; he does not let his wings hang down at first, but he can finally lift them up. Diaojun Poyang, Jiang Qian said; free and elegant, high ambition. Use your talent to show off your talent, use civil and military strategies; attack with fire to defeat the enemy, and turn the strong into weak. I miss you when you were so majestic and heroic; I cry that you died young and fell to the ground bleeding. With a loyal heart and a spirit of heroism; after three centuries of life, my name will be remembered for generations to come. I mourn you deeply and have a thousand knots of sorrow in my heart; but my liver and gallbladder have no end to my sorrow. The sky is dark and the three armies are in despair; the Lord is weeping; the friends are weeping. Liang is not talented, he begs for advice; he helps Wu to resist Cao, and assists Han to secure Liu; he provides help from head to tail, and if he survives or dies, what worries is there? Woohoo Gongjin! Farewell to life and death! Just keep your chastity, let it disappear forever, your soul is as if it has a spirit, to learn from my heart: From now on, there will be no more sound in the world! Oh, what a pain! Fu Wei is still delicious.

Book of Commandments

The conduct of a gentleman is to cultivate one’s character through tranquility and cultivate one’s virtue through frugality. Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no far-reaching goal. Learning requires tranquility, and talent requires learning. Without learning, there is no way to expand talents, and without ambition, there is no way to achieve learning. If you are impatient and slow, you will not be able to stimulate your essence, and if you are dangerous and impetuous, you will not be able to cure your nature. Years go with the times, thoughts go with the sun, and they become withered and withered. Many people do not take on the world, and they stay in the poor house with sadness. How will they be able to get back to you!

Translation: People with moral cultivation carry out self-cultivation and exercise in this way. They use meditation and reflection to perfect themselves, and they cultivate their noble character by being frugal and saving money. If you don't have a clear mind and few desires, you won't be able to make your ambitions clear and firm. If you don't have stability and tranquility, you won't be able to realize your lofty ideals and study hard for a long time. To learn true knowledge, one must study and explore in tranquility, both physically and mentally. People's talents are accumulated from continuous learning. If you don't study hard, you can't grow and develop your talents. If you don't have an unswerving will, you can't make progress in your studies. success. Indulgence and debauchery, negativity and neglect cannot inspire the mind and spirit; careless adventure, impatience and restlessness cannot cultivate the temperament and ennoble moral integrity. If the years and years are wasted and the time is wasted, eventually it will age like a fallen leaf day by day. Such people will not be used by society and benefit society. They will only be sadly trapped in their own poor family and ruins. By then it will be too late to regret. (Lanxi Zhuge Village) [Note: At the request of netizen Wu Chunsen]

Longzhong replied

Liang replied: "Since Dong Zhuo came, heroes have risen together, and those who have joined counties across states have Countless. Compared to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was only a little famous but outnumbered. However, Cao Cao was able to defeat Shao and use the weak to become strong. This was not just due to the timing of the day, but also because of the people's plans. And let the princes not compete with you. Sun Quan has occupied Jiangdong for three generations. The country is in danger and the people are attached to it. The virtuous people can use it. Jingzhou can be used to support Han and Mian in the north, and it can benefit from the South China Sea. It connects Wuhui in the east and Ba and Shu in the west. This is a country that uses military force, but its master cannot defend it. It is almost impossible for the general to be gifted by heaven. Does the general have any intention? Become an emperor. Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is in the north, the people are prosperous and the country is rich but they don't know how to save money, and the wise people want to know the king.

A general is a member of the emperor's family. He has integrity all over the world, takes charge of heroes, and is thirsty for talents. If there are thorns and benefits across the road, he will protect the rocks. He will make peace with the Rong in the west, appease the Yiyue in the south, befriend Sun Quan externally, and cultivate political principles internally. "If there is a change in the world, I will order a general to lead the army of Jingzhou to Wan and Luo, and the general will lead the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. Will the people dare not to eat pots of pulp to meet the general?" If this is the case, hegemony can be achieved and the Han Dynasty can flourish.
