Liu Bei lived in Liu Biao's place, but his soldiers were not more than a thousand, and he would not be able to close Zhang Zhao Yun, and his situation was very embarrassing. Although Liu Biao took Liu Bei in, he still had a suspicious heart for him. Liu Biao had Liu Bei stationed in Xinye, also to use Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao's attack.
After Liu Bei got a respite, he still did not give up his ideals. He took advantage of this rare opportunity to recuperate and reorganize the troops and sum up experience. He believes that his team urgently needs to recruit talents. He wanted to take advantage of jingzhou's brilliant spirit to visit talents and grow his team.
However, Liu Bei personally is deficient. His military ability is not as good as his military ability. He can promote generals among the soldiers, know people well, and serve the battlefield. However, it is difficult to find excellent military talents. The shortage of military division talents became a fatal shortcoming of his team. This made him unable to find a way to break into the circle of Jingzhou scholars, let alone search for talents.
First analyze Sima Hui's recommendation of Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei.
When he met Sima Hui, the water mirror master, he expressed his grievances. Sima Hui pointed out the shortcomings of his team, and recommended Wolong and Fengyan to him, saying that the two of them would have one and the world would be at peace. And when Liu Bei wanted to ask the two people in detail, Sima Hui deliberately sold Guanzi and did not say it explicitly.
From then on, the search for Wolong and Fengchi became Liu Bei's central task. When Xu Shu left, he also recommended Wolong and Fengchi to Liu Bei. It is said that Wolong is Zhuge Liang, and Fengchi is Pang Tong. In this way, Liu Bei had a goal.
Sima Hui has always been concerned about Zhuge Liang's future. He recommended Wolong and Fengchi to Liu Bei, and deliberately sold Guanzi for Liu Bei to visit in order to raise Zhuge Liang's value. But he was also afraid that the bow would be pulled too full, delaying Zhuge Liang's future. Therefore, after Xu Shu left, he came to Liu Bei's place to listen to the news.
When he learned that Liu Bei already knew that Wolong was Zhuge Liang, he already knew what was going to happen next. He once again raised the value of Zhuge Liang at Liu Bei.com. Zhuge Liang compared himself to Guan Zhongleyi, while Sima Hui compared him to Jiang Ziya and Zhang Liang. When Sima Hui was leaving, Yang Tian laughed and said, "Although Wolong has his master, he can't do it at the right time. ”
Secondly, analyzing Sima Hui or having already expected it, Liu Bei Zhuge Liang hit it off.
Sima Hui's move was very interesting. First of all, let's talk about his laughter. Sima Hui presented himself as an opposition hermit, and he was reluctant to live in the world. However, he belonged to the circle of scholars in Jingzhou and was also very concerned about the situation in the world. He sympathized with Liu Bei, was emotionally close to Liu Bei, and wanted to solve problems for him.
Liu Bei's biggest problem is the problem of team talent. He recommended Wolong to Liu Bei, and when he knew that Liu Bei already knew that Wolong was Zhuge Liang, a stone in his heart landed on the ground, as if relieved. At this moment, for the sake of Liu Bei's encounter with the sages, Zhuge Liang met the Ming Lord, and he turned the wheel of history as he wished, how could he not look up to the sky and laugh.
Speaking of what Sima Hui said, wolong was his master. From this sentence, we can know that Sima Hui believes that Zhuge Liang will definitely go out to the mountains to assist Liu Bei. Sima Hui was able to draw this conclusion, and it was also a conclusion drawn from his observation and judgment.
Zhuge Liang was also a member of the Jingzhou scholar circle, his brother-in-law was Qu Qi, and the Kui family was Liu Biao's heavy courtier. But Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in the countryside. This shows Zhuge Liang's attitude, and he disdains to turn to Liu Biao. If Zhuge Liang did not have the ambition to become a master, he compared himself to Guan Zhongle yi and had the ambition to support the world. All this shows that Zhuge Liang is looking for his true protagonist.
Sima Hui and Zhuge Liang had a deep friendship, and he knew that Zhuge Liang was the way of ruling the country by the Dharma. Liu Biao advocated empty talk, Cao Cao preferred Confucianism, Jiangdong had a feud with Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu were even more insignificant. In this way, the most suitable master for Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei, who also admires the Fa.
Unlike Cao Cao and Liu Biao, Liu Bei did not have an outstanding ruler at this time, and Si Xian was thirsty. If zhuge liang's assistance could be obtained, Liu Bei's team would make up for the shortcomings of Wen Chen's weakness. At the same time, with zhuge Liang's joining, it will also open up Jingxiang's talent circle, recruit talents for Liu Bei, expand his own power, and prepare for the next step of controlling Jingxiang for the foundation.
Therefore, Liu Bei was bound to win against Zhuge Liang. The two have similar temperaments and the same concept, of course, they will hit it off. Moreover, Zhuge Liang compared himself to Zhongle Yi, he was proud of his talents, and he did not care that Liu Bei's soldiers were weak and weak, and his power was weakening. This is just enough for him to show his skills and show his talents. Therefore, Sima Hui would say that Zhuge Liang's victory, that is, seeing that the two people would inevitably become kings.
There is another sentence in the analysis of Sima Hui again, that is, Zhuge Liang is not timely. This sentence was said in the context of the world at that time and was in line with the objective situation at that time.
During Liu Bei's search for Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao's war against Yuan in the north had entered the final stage. Cao Cao's overall situation of unifying the north has been decided, and the next step is definitely to use troops to the south. Eastern Wu also began its strategic process in an intense manner, with the yangtze river in its entirety and the use of troops against Jingxiang. During this time, Sun Quan had slowly gained an advantage in the war against Jingxiang.
Compared with them, Liu Bei did not have a solid base area at this time, and his strength was too small to compete with them at all. If Zhuge Liang became Liu Bei's subordinate, these problems would soon become what he needed to face.
Therefore, the disparity in strength is an indisputable fact, and this is not something that can be reversed in a short period of time. Sima Hui knew full well that even if Zhuge Liang came out of the mountains, it would be difficult to achieve their goal of unifying the world by supporting the Han Dynasty.
First of all, Cao Cao had unified the north, and he blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes to take the initiative in the military division. Cao Cao's military ability was very strong, and the strength of his strategists was strong, occupying the largest and richest territory, which made Cao Cao the most powerful force at that time. With only one Cao Cao, Liu Bei was difficult to deal with. Liu Bei also knew that he was not Cao Cao's opponent.
Plus an ambitious Eastern Wu. This all makes zhuge liang, although he has the talent of Guan Zhongle Yi, it is also difficult for a woman to cook without rice. This huge strategic task of unifying the world is extremely difficult to achieve. Therefore, Sima Hui would say that Zhuge Liang was not timely. Even if Liu Bei's strength could be less disparity than That of Cao Cao's Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang's talents would be better displayed.
However, although in the end Zhuge Liang did not achieve his and Liu Bei's wishes. But with their joint efforts, they have grown from a weak force under the fence to a country with three parts of the world. Although Zhuge Liang died before he could get out of the division, the hero was in tears. However, the good story of Sangu Maolu has been passed down to the present, and everyone is touched by the sincerity of their monarchs, and also moved by Zhuge Liang's spirit of bowing down and dying.
