The story begins with one thing. One day in 262 AD, a big tree in Liu Chan Palace suddenly broke. When people learned about it, they all went to watch the fun. Qiao Zhou was among them at that time. Qiao Zhou was very worried when he saw the broken tree. Then he wrote 12 on the post. What are these words? What can be done if the public is large and the meeting is expected? ? At that time, no one could understand the words 12 and didn't know their meaning. Many people are puzzled and ask Qiao Zhou, but Qiao Zhou doesn't answer.
A year later, Wei sent troops to attack Shu, and Wargo led the army to attack Mianzhu from level tone. Zhuge Zhan and his son died in battle, and Wargo led the army into the army, but he surrendered to Wei. Since then, Shu Han has completely perished. At this time, many people remembered Qiao Zhou's prediction and knew the meaning of this sentence. Public? It's Cao, because of what? Cao? There is a set of meaning, "Guang Yun? Hao Yun:? Cao, Zhong Ye,? . And then what? Big? It's Wei, because? Wei? Pass? Hey? It means tall. With what? There is, referring to Liu Bei, and? Suffering? This is abdication, and this refers to Liu Chan. The general idea is that everyone expects to gather in Cao Wei, and Liu Bei's inheritance will end here in Liu Chan. Will there be a successor? In fact, this means that Shu Han will perish.
So what kind of person is Qiao Zhou? Qiao Zhou was born in a scholarly family and received a good education since childhood. Under the influence of his father, he was eager to learn from childhood and read many classics, so he was very talented. He is proficient in astronomy and geography, and he is familiar with the study of divination. He was famous in his early years. During the Jianxing period, Zhuge Liang became the prime minister of Shu Han, so he promoted a large number of talents. Zhuge Liang heard that Qiao Zhou was very talented, so he appointed Qiao Zhou as a counselor. Qiao Zhou respects Zhuge Liang very much. Later Zhuge Liang died of illness. Qiao Zhou was very sad and went to the funeral in person. At that time, the court banned ministers from attending the funeral, but Qiao Zhou acted quickly and was able to arrive. Soon after, Qiao Zhou was appointed as a scholar, and he was the most famous among many scholars.
After Zhuge Liang's death, no one dared to take care of Liu Chan. From then on, Liu Chan was as happy as a runaway wild horse. He often goes out to play and indulges in wine and color. Seeing Liu Chan's connivance, Qiao Zhou was deeply worried about Shu Han, so he gave it to Liu Chan, learned from the previous experience, was reasonable, and persuaded Liu Chan to be diligent and love the people, reduce travel, and no longer build redundant palaces like Liu Bei. Therefore, Liu Chan thinks Qiao Zhou's statement makes sense.
Later, Qiao Zhou saw that after years of fighting against Wei, the national strength was weak and the people's lives were poor. So he wrote that he hoped the imperial court would stop fighting abroad and develop the economy instead. He believes that Jiang Wei and others have been conquering Wei for years, which is actually futile. It will not only consume national strength, but even lead to the demise of Shu Han. Finally, reviving the Han Dynasty was just empty talk. Therefore, he had a heated argument with Chen Zuo, a senior minister, and later wrote "On the Friend or Foe". Therefore, we should be sympathetic to people's feelings, stop foreign wars, focus on economic development, and then stabilize people's hearts, enhance national strength and revive the Han Dynasty. Of course, his point of view is not unreasonable.
Later, Qiao Zhou was promoted to Doctor Guanglu by Liu Chan. Because he is famous for his talent, many young scholars like to get close to him. They often ask him some questions, and he always answers them with quotations. In 263 AD, Cao Wei attacked Shu Han, but Liu Chan listened to Huang Hao's prediction that the enemy would not come, so he was not prepared before the war.
When Wargo led the army into Yin Ping, the people were frightened. Later, Wargo led an army to approach Chengdu, and Liu Chan called ministers to discuss countermeasures. At this time, Qiao Zhou felt lucky, and his national strength declined. If he resisted, the people would suffer. If he took refuge in Wu, he could only seek temporary stability. In the future, the State of Wu will be destroyed by the powerful State of Wei. It is better to be insulted once and surrender to Wei than to be insulted twice.
So he urged Liu Chan to surrender. After some arguments, Liu Chan finally listened to Qiao Zhou's suggestion and surrendered in Kaesong. Since then, Shu Han has completely perished. Qiao Zhou was reused by Cao Wei for his meritorious service and was also named Hou. During the Jin Dynasty, he was recruited to be an official in Luoyang. At this time, Qiao Zhou was seriously ill, and he hoped to return to the fief, but Sima Yan wouldn't allow it. Soon after, Qiao Zhou died of illness.
