When Liu Bei lived in Xinye, he knew that the reason for wasting half his life was that although there were generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei around him, there was no counselor to give advice, so he was polite and helpful. On the recommendation of Si Mahui and Xu Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to visit Zhuge Liang in Longzhong, Xiangyang.

When I first came to this villa, Liang had already gone out, and the three met Liang's friend Cui on the way back. A few days later, Liu, Guan and Zhang braved the storm to take care of the hut. On the way, I met my good friend and Meng. When I arrived at the thatched cottage and met Liang's brother Zhuge Jun, I realized that Liang had traveled far away, leaving a note to express my admiration. When I came back, I met Liang's father-in-law Huang by the bridge at the foot of Longzhong Mountain. After a while, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to the thatched cottage. It happened that the lights were on at home and they didn't wake up during the day. Liu Bei ordered Guan and Zhang to wait outside the door. They crept and stood at the foot of the steps and handed them to Liu Bei. They didn't meet until they woke up. [Sangutang: Built in the 58th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (A.D. 17 19), it is the memorial hall of Liu Bei's Mao Lu of Sangutang and Zhuge Liang's Long Zhong Dui. ]

Longzhongdui

After the battle of Guandu, Liu Bei fled to Jingzhou and defected to Liu Biao. Liu Biao allocated some troops to him to stay in Xinye (now Xinye County, Henan Province).

Liu Bei is an ambitious man, because his ambition has not been realized, and his heart is always unhappy. He wants to find a good assistant. He found a famous man named Si Mahui in Xiangyang, so he went to visit him specially.

Si Mahui said, "There are Wolong and Feng Chu in this area. If you can invite one of them, you can decide the world. " Si Mahui told Liu Bei: Wolong is Zhuge Liang, and the word is Kongming; Feng Chu's name is Pang Tong.

Xu Shu is also a local celebrity, because I heard that Liu Bei was recruiting talents, so I came to see him. Liu Bei was so happy that he left Xu Shu as his counselor. Xu Shu said, "I have an old friend, Zhu Gekongming. People call him Wolong. Does the general want to meet him? " After listening to Xu Shu's introduction, Liu Bei said, "Since you know him so well, please come hard and invite him!" Xu Shu shook his head and said, "This can't be done. People like this must be personally invited by the general to show your sincerity. "

Liu Bei successively heard that Si Mahui and Xu Shu attached great importance to Zhuge Liang. Knowing that Zhuge Liang must be a great talent, he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Longzhong to find Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang visited the hut and was finally moved by Liu Bei's sincerity and took Liu Bei to his hut.

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was so open-minded and asked for advice, so he had a heart-to-heart talk with Liu Bei. He said: "Now Cao Cao has defeated Yuan Shao, with an army of1100,000, and he is holding the order of the Emperor. We can't compete with him by force alone. Sun Quan has occupied Jiangdong area for three generations. Jiangdong has a dangerous terrain, and now all the people have joined him, and a group of talents are working for him. It seems that we can only unite with him and can't play his mind. "

Then, Zhuge Liang analyzed the situation of Jingzhou and Yizhou (now part of Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hubei and Guizhou), and thought that Jingzhou was an important military place, and Liu Biao could not keep this place. Yizhou has a fertile and vast land, which has always been called "the land of abundance", but Liu Zhang, the owner there, is also a weak man, and everyone is dissatisfied with him.

Finally, he said, "The general is a descendant of the royal family and is famous all over the world. If we can occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou, unite with Sun Quan and rectify internal affairs, we can March from Jingzhou and Yizhou and attack Cao Cao once we have the opportunity. At that time, who will not welcome the general? In this way, we can achieve great things and restore the Han Dynasty. "

After listening to Zhuge Liang's incisive and thorough analysis, Liu Bei's thoughts were suddenly enlightened. He felt that Zhuge Liang's talents were rare, so he earnestly asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain and help him complete the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang went out to assist Liu Bei.

Later, people called it "three visits to the thatched cottage" and called Zhuge Liang's conversation "Longzhong Dui". (Some say it's from Longzhong, Xiangyang, and some say it's from Nanyang. Hard to be sure? )

Wuzhangyuan

The original site of Zhang Wu is located in Qishan County, Baoji City, 30 kilometers east of Xi/KLOC-0, 56 kilometers west of Baoji and 25 kilometers north of Qishan County. It is more than 20 meters high and covers an area of about 12 square kilometers. Qipanshan is in the south of Zhang Wu, and Weihe River is in the north. The situation is very dangerous. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang stationed troops in Wuzhangyuan to crusade against Sima Yi, and later died of overwork, making Wuzhangyuan famous all over the world. It was the last battlefield of Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period.

In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang led his troops from Hanzhong, crossed the Qinling Mountains and entered Wuzhangyuan. I'm new here, and I'm short of food and grass. I'll settle down for training and wait for Wei. Sima Yi, the general of Wei, knew Zhuge Liang's clever plan and stuck to the north bank of Weihe River, not daring to send troops. The two sides fought for a hundred days in Wuzhangyuan. Zhuge Liang had to lure Wei Bing to fight in Hulugou, and set fire to break Taniguchi, in order to defeat Wei Sima Yi by surprise, and Wei Jun survived. In the autumn of the same year, Zhuge Liang died in the army, and the Shu army was defeated. When Sima Yi entered the place where Zhuge Liang commanded the battle, he saw the danger of the position of the Shu army and exclaimed, "The genius of the world is also." Later generations built a temple here in memory of Zhuge Liang.

According to local folklore, when Zhuge Liang died, a star fell from the sky, hence the name. In those days, the place where Zhuge Liang cultivated land was called Zhuge Tian. At that time, Zhuge Liang left the ruins of the half-meter-high city wall where he took the military account to command the battle. It was about 250 meters long from north to south and nearly 100 meters wide from east to west. The local people named this small castle "Lost in the City". In the south of Holloway, there is a flat stone with checkerboard patterns on it. It is said that Zhuge Liang played chess here in those days, so this mountain was named Qipanshan. Many "Zhuge pots" were found in the soil of Wuzhangyuan, and the handwriting of official script of Han Dynasty was cast on the iron pot. The five plains are now a farmland, and tourists always want to find the remains and rumors of the ancient battlefield. There is a river bend in the middle of the farmland, which is called Luoxingwan locally, and the village in the bay is called Luoxingbao.

Hee hee, that's it.
