In "Three Kingdoms", as a grassroots struggling youth, Liu Bei has always prided himself on being a "han family relative", hoping to use this name to divide one side and become rich. In the difficult entrepreneurial journey, I was fortunate to meet Guan Yu who guarded the nursing home and Zhang Fei, who slaughtered pigs and sold wine, and the three of them saw each other as they were, so they took "Xingfu Han Room" as their responsibility and married brothers of the opposite sex.
After receiving the assistance of Guan Zhang and the two men, Liu Bei's power gradually increased, but at this time, Liu Bei's army appeared the phenomenon of strong and weak, and when they charged into the battlefield, Guan Zhang and zhang were invincible and unstoppable. But if you want to survive in such a complex and changeable situation, you must have one or more military masters who are strategic.
So after Xu Shu left, Liu Bei began to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain!
And the story of Liu Beisan Gu Maolu inviting Zhuge Liang out of the mountain is already very familiar, and we will not repeat it too much here. Let's only talk about Liu Beisan Gu Maolu asking Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, but missed the story of a real "peerless man".
This person is "Cui Zhouping", one of Zhuge Liang's four close friends. On the way liu bei first went to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain, he happened to meet Cui Zhouping, Liu Bei originally just wanted to ask him about Zhuge Liang, but he was deeply impressed by Cui Zhouping's extraordinary conversation, and then Liu Bei wanted to ask Cui Zhouping to come out of the mountain to assist him.
However, at this time, Cui Zhouping knew very well that although Liu Bei was a "benevolent and righteous prince" and had great ambitions, he had no foundation, his strength was weak, and he often tossed around under the slogan of "Xingfu Han Room", which could not produce any good results. So he was not promised. Of course, at this time, Cui Zhouping was already indifferent to fame and fortune and did not want to join the army at all, so he did not agree to Liu Bei.
So the question is, how powerful is this Cui Zhouping?
Cui Zhouping, whose real name is Cui Jun, is his word. Cui Zhouping's father, Cui Lie, was a lieutenant during the Reign of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Cui Lie was not an official who was bought for five million dollars. Of course, in ancient times, buying officials was not a rare thing, but Cui Zhouping always felt disdain for his father's purchase of officials, believing that it had a copper smell.
In the first year of Chuping, Cui Zhouping and Yuan Shao raised an army against Dong Zhuo in Shandong, resulting in his father being arrested and imprisoned, and in April of the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo was executed before he was released, and then died in the mutiny between Li Dai and Guo Feng.
Cui Zhouping successively served as the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang and the Taishou of Xihe. After Dong Zhuo's defeat, Cui Zhouping left Yuan Shao and traveled to the land of Jingxiang, where he became acquainted with Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others. Yuan Shao knew that Cui Zhouping was a rare talent, so when Cui Zhouping chose to leave, Yuan Shao was still quite reluctant.
Therefore, we can see that Cui Zhouping served as a Taishou in his early years and participated in the war against Dong Zhuo, and his political experience and wisdom and strategy were no less than Zhuge Liang's. Moreover, Cui Zhouping has more practical experience than Zhuge Liang.
But in addition to personal talent, Cui Zhouping's family power should not be underestimated. Cui Zhouping's Boling Cui clan, but the Western Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, its strength is not inferior to that of the Sima family at that time. Therefore, if Liu Bei got Cui Zhouping, it would be equivalent to getting the support of the Boling Cui clan. You know, if you get the support of such a well-known and protégé all over the world, it is not a problem to achieve a great deed!
However, it is a pity that Liu Bei did not seize this good opportunity to invite Cui Zhouping down the mountain. If Cui Zhouping is really invited down the mountain, I am afraid that the history of Shu Han will be rewritten! Of course, this is only if!
