Three visits to shanzhai, decision-making in Longzhong, burning hope, burning Xintian, arguing with Confucianism

The yellow turban insurrectionary uprising at the end of Han Dynasty caused great chaos in the world. Cao Cao sat in the imperial court, and Sun Quan supported Dongwu. Liu Bei, the imperial clan of the Han Dynasty, heard from Xu Shu and Si Mahui that Zhuge Liang was very knowledgeable and talented, so he came to Gulong, Xiangyang (now the west of Xiangfan) with gifts together with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and asked Zhuge Liang to come out to assist him. It happened that Zhuge Liang went out that day, and Liu Bei had to go home disappointed. Soon, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei braved the snowstorm and invited him for the second time. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang went out for a walk again. Zhang Fei doesn't want to come again. Seeing that Zhuge Liang was not at home, he urged him to go back. Liu Bei had to leave a letter expressing his admiration for Zhuge Liang and asking him to come out of the mountain to help him save the country's crisis. After a while, after eating vegetarian food for three days, Liu Bei was ready to invite Zhuge Liang again. Guan Yu said that Zhuge Liang may be nominal, but he may not have real talent and learning. There is no need to go, but Zhang Fei advocates that he should go alone and tie it up with a rope if he doesn't come. Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei, who promised not to be rude again. They invited Zhuge Liang for the third time. When they arrived at Zhuge Liang's home, it was already noon and Zhuge Liang was sleeping. Liu Bei dare not disturb him. He waited for two hours until Zhuge Liang woke up and sat down to talk to each other.

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was interested in doing things for the country and sincerely asked him for help, so he came out to help Liu Bei establish the Han Shu Dynasty.

2. Longzhong decision-making

Liu Bei went to Longzhong for the third time and met Zhuge Liang at home. When we met, we talked very speculatively. Zhuge Liang analyzed the world situation for Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang ordered the children to take out a painting scroll and hang it in the central hall. He pointed and said, "This is a map of fifty-four states of surprisingly. The general must rush to the front, let Cao Cao dominate the north for one day, and let Sun Quan occupy the land in the south, so that the general can occupy the people and peace. " Take Jingzhou as the home first, then Xichuan as the foundation, so as to achieve the ultimate goal, and then plan the Central Plains. "Later, Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei, and according to Longzhong's decision, he established the Shu-Han regime in surprisingly, forming a tripartite confrontation.

3. Burn Bowangpo

In 207 AD, in the twelfth year of Jian 'an, Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang as his military adviser to perform the army horse day and night. That autumn, Cao Cao appointed Xia Houdun as the commander-in-chief, and Li Dian, Xia Houlan and Han Hao led hundreds of troops to Xinye County, Henan Province, to conquer Liu Bei. When Liu Bei heard the news, he immediately summoned the soldier Zhuge Liang, sent troops at the first time, and asked the generals to act according to the plan. After Xia Houdun, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun pretended to fail, Yu Jin led his troops to Bowangpo. It's getting late and the wind is getting stronger. Xia Houdun just pursued an ambush unconsciously, and immediately burst into flames around him, with ShaSheng blasting. At that time, the reeds around were on fire, and the wind was very strong. Cao Jun trampled on countless dead people. Zhao Yunling led the troops back to Xia Houdun, and led some charger to flee by fire. At this time, Guan Yu saw the fire and sent troops to stop the food and grass. All the grain and grass are burning. Yujin and Li Dian escaped by the path. When Zhang Fei saw the fire, he led his troops to set fire to the trench in Bowang City. Xia Houlan and Han Hao managed to escape. Cao Jun suffered heavy casualties in this battle. Liu Bei won a total victory for the first time in history.

4. Burning new field

Zhuge Liang was the first to burn Bowangpo, and Xia Houdun was defeated. Cao Cao personally led the troops to attack Xinye. Liu Bei gave up Xinye and went to Fancheng to escape from Cao Jun. Cao Cao led Cao Ren's troops to Xinye, and when he saw that the city gate was wide open and there was no one in the city, he led his troops to station in the city. At night, it caught fire. These are the first two fires in "Three Fires for a New Official". Coss led the generals, found a way to run in the smoke, and heard that there was no fire at the East Gate, so he hurried out. The sergeant stepped on it and countless people died. Coss and others just took off the fire when a voice shouted behind them. Zhao Yun led the troops into melee, and the defeated troops fled for their lives. Who will turn to fight? As he was running, Mi Fang led an army and rushed to kill him. Coss was defeated and took the road.

5. Debate between Confucianism

Cao Cao's army built a village along the river, trained the water army and prepared to annex Jiangdong. Wu Dong's monarchs and ministers were shocked and worried that peace and war were uncertain. In order to unite Wu against Cao, Zhuge Liang followed Lu Su's intention to cross the river to convince Sun Quan. Lu Su introduced Zhuge Liang to a group of advisers in Soochow. Zhang Zhao, the first adviser of Soochow, took the lead in attacking, and Zhuge Liang was speechless at last. The advisers of Soochow attacked Zhuge Liang one after another, and as many as seven people were refuted by Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang argued endlessly in front of many Confucian scholars, talked with the monarch and ministers about the general trend of the world, pointed out the advantages of peace and war, and finally persuaded Sun Quan to unite with Liu Bei to resist Cao and reverse the unfavorable situation.
