Before he was out of the woods, he knew the world's affairs, and Lu Fan set a three-point world policy! This is the famous strategist Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period who was extremely wise and lupine. His outing came from Liu Beisan, who was thirsty for talents. Since then, he has been supporting Shu Han until his death.
However, during the Three Kingdoms period, it was not only Liu Bei who was thirsty for talents. As early as before, Cao Cao had issued recruitment orders to the world three times, recruiting talents, and himself was also a talented person. Many of these talents went to Cao Wei to pledge allegiance, and Zhuge Liang always sat still and did not waver at all.
At that time, Cao Cao had already sat in half of jiangshan, and if he received zhuge Liang's peerless help, Jingzhou and Eastern Wu would no longer be a threat. And Cao Cao himself is also a great hero who is not born in the world, born into the nobility, but Ren Xianren can be known to the world. Zhuge Liang, who was also from an aristocratic background and was bent on the unification of the world, why would he abandon Cao Cao and not choose. Instead, to choose Liu Bei, who was born just as a straw shoe seller?
In fact, Zhuge Liang hated Cao Cao as early as the age of 12. The story begins in 193 AD, when Cao Cao's father Cao Song led his son Cao De from Langya to Taishan County, Shandong Province, to join Cao Cao. However, after Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou Prefecture, who was disgusted with Cao Cao at that time, learned of this incident, he sent light horses to kill Cao Song's family and then fled.
This incident directly ignited Cao Cao's anger, and the revenge of killing his father was not shared by heaven. So he directly attacked Xuzhou, and under the anger, no one could resist Cao Cao's entry into the palace, and Xuzhou was quickly forced. In the Book of Later Han and the Biography of Tao Qian, it is recorded that Cao Cao's attack this time was "chicken and dog, and Surabaya did not flow for it".
Cao Cao directly went on a killing spree in Xuzhou, and the corpses piled up did not even circulate in Surabaya. At that time, his enemy was nothing more than Zhou Mu Taoqian, and Cao Cao's anger this time was just to take people's lives for the sake of anger. Zhuge Liang's Zhuge family has lived in Xuzhou Langya for generations, and the Zhuge family has naturally been affected.
Zhuge Liang's father died early, and he and his brother Zhuge Jin had been living under his uncle Zhuge Xuan, and his life was quite comfortable. However, after Cao Cao set off a bloody storm, Zhuge Xuan had to take Zhuge Liang out of Langya and flee in all directions. All the way up and down, on the way to escape. His uncle Zhuge Xuan unfortunately died in this struggle, and his brother went to Jiangdong alone. The family has since been separated from life and death, and there is no day to be together.
And in fact, Cao Cao slaughtered the city of Xuzhou more than once, because he did not catch Tao Qian, who was as slippery as a loach in the fourth year of Chuping (193), and then went to Xuzhou again in the first year of Xingping (194), and the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that Emperor Wu once commented on Cao Cao's "too much cruelty".
Tao Qian died of illness in this year and handed Xuzhou over to Liu Bei. After Cao Cao learned of this news, he gave up and stopped attacking Xuzhou. And for whatever reason, no one will help the enemy who destroyed his hometown and made his own relatives die, as if nothing had happened.
Zhuge Liang defected to Liu Bei, while his brother Zhuge Jin went directly to Jiangdong to defect to Sun Quan. No one went to assist Cao Cao, who seemed to be in the sky at that time. And not only the Zhuge family, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou was likely to offend most of the scholar class in Xuzhou.
Regarding the origin of the neutral biography of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", some people have made statistics on it, and few people from the five counties of Xuzhou have been counted. It is likely to be related to Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou that year. Moreover, Cao Cao's collective rebellion in Yanzhou after killing Bian Rang may also be related to this. Therefore, in the academic community, almost all the talents of Cao Wei are from Yuzhou, and it is not necessarily the result of Yuzhou's talents. It is very likely that the Xuzhou scholars, together with their friends, were not willing to defect to Cao Cao at all, which caused such a consequence.
