Why didn't Liu Bei catch Kong Ming's close friend at once?

After being defeated by Cao Cao, Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao's army in Jingzhou in Xinye. In a banquet with Liu Biao, he made many slips of the tongue. First, he was good at talking about Liu Biao's heir, and then he forgot his plan for a while. When he was depressed, he said his ambitious words, "With the foundation, the world will be lively, and you will be careless." So he hated Mrs Cai and Cai Mao, which led to several murders in Cai Mao.

Happiness depends on misfortune. Liu Bei was chased by Cai Mao and went to Nanzhang. He met Mr. Si Mahui, a hermit water mirror, and heard the name of the person who had been entangled with him all his life-Mr. Wolong. Later, Xu Shu recommended himself to Liu Bei, which made great contributions to Liu Bei's attack on Coss and the capture of Fancheng. It also attracted Cao Cao's attention to Xu Shu, and Xu Shu was tricked into Cao Ying. Before he left, Xu Shu recommended Mr. Zhuge Liang from Wolong to make great contributions to Liu Bei, and emphasized that "this person should not be bent, so that you can ask for it yourself". So there was a trip of "Three Visits to the Cottage in Liu Xuande".

Thanks to Si Mahui's praise and Xu Shu's recommendation, Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang in Longzhong for the first time. Zhuge Liang slipped away early in the morning, and his return date was uncertain. Liu Bei had to have the same name as the boy and told him to tell Mr. Wolong. I met Cui on my way back. Liu Bei thought it was Zhuge Liang. Disappointed, he said something to Cui, but then he was pleasantly surprised. He wanted to ask Cui Zhouping for help, but he was rejected.

The second time I went to see Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei deliberately chose a freezing day to "let Kong know my hospitality", which was more sincere than the last time. When I was near the cabin, I heard someone singing in the hotel. That's where the wind of hermits in Wei and Jin dynasties began, that is, indulging in debauchery, talking about metaphysics and feeling the mountains and rivers. So Liu Bei mistakenly thought that there was Mr. Wolong in No.2 Middle School. I didn't know it was with my friend Meng until I asked. He tried to invite them out of the mountain, but failed. I went to visit Mr. Wolong in the thatched cottage, but unfortunately he just went out again. Actually, I should have avoided him on purpose. Liu Bei had to leave a heartfelt speech on the paper to show his kindness. On my way home, I met Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, Huang, and Liu Bei mistook me for someone else. It's like riding a roller coaster, up and down. (Nima, forget the first few people. After all, they are all about the same age. Yellow is twice as big. You can also admit your mistake. Is it because you can't see your face when you wear too many clothes in winter? )

The third time, Liu Bei was really pious. "He ordered the fortune teller to pay homage, chose an auspicious day, fasted for three days, smoked incense and changed clothes, and then went to Wollongong to pay homage to Kong Ming." . This time, it would be embarrassing not to meet Liu Bei, and the specifications could not be improved. What can you do next time? He is throwing caution to the wind this time, or he will die if he fails. Fortunately, although the process was tortuous, under the repeated refusal and invitation of Liu Bei, Kong Ming finally came out of the mountain.

But the question is, Liu Bei has seen so many talents, why not put them all in his pocket, or simply take more, so that Zhuge Liang will not "dedicate himself to death" and beat himself to death. When Yu Xun voted for Cao Cao, he pulled out a rope like a potato. What Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Ye Liu, Man Chong, Lv Qian and Mao Jie are all recommended by Yu Xun. Then why did Liu Bei visit so many people and finally get only one Zhu Gekongming?

Is it because there is chaos in the world that they have no intention of being an official? Zhuge Liang has no heart to be an official, or his heart to be an official is not firm. When Xu Shu recommended Kongming, he rode to the foot of Wollongong Mountain and went to Caolu to see Kongming for fear that Kongming would not come out of the mountain to help him. Later, Zhuge Liang scolded him. "You treat me as a sacrifice!" And then he left. "Tian Ge" written by Zhuge Liang, "Honor is safe, shame is mediocre. Nanyang has seclusion, which means he just wants to be a hermit who can sleep late every day. Zhuge Liang is good friends with Xu Shu, Cui, Meng. Among them, Xu Shu had the strongest desire to be an official, and he recommended himself to Liu Biao. Seeing that Liu Biao was useless, he turned to Liu Bei for help. Secondly, when Liu Bei was playing in the thatched cottage, Meng sang in the hotel. In his songs, he sang that he met Jiang Ziya of Zhou Wenwang and Li Shiqi of Emperor Gaozu. " They are not international saints, who knows heroes? "Compared with these two sages, I prefer to meet a wise man who appreciates their talents. The third is Zhuge Liang, who is an indispensable attitude, worried about the danger of the Han Dynasty and the chaos of the world, and satisfied with the leisure of rural life now; The fourth is Shi Guangyuan, who is completely indifferent to fame and fortune, while Tao Yuanming, a famous hermit in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has always been an official. The fifth is Cui. Well, his view of history is ahead of the times. He believes that "the troubled times have been impermanent since ancient times", and the demise of the Han Dynasty is a matter of time. It is in vain to help the Han Dynasty. He stressed that there is a way to see the world, but there is no way to hide it. Of these five people, Xu Shu has entered the Cao Cao camp. Liu Bei has no ability and wisdom to help save his mother. He can only watch him leave. Cui and Liu Bei have different views, which is hard to convince, but Meng He can still win.

Is it because Zhuge Liang and Zhu Yu are in front, and Liu Bei despises the talents of other people? Xu Shu thinks that compared with Zhuge Liang, he is "like a couple of Kirin and western Western jackdaw". Si Mahui said, "These four people are all committed to purity, but only Kong Ming looks at the rough picture.". Zhuge Liang himself said that "a public official can enter the secretariat as an officer", and he compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi. But it can't be said that they have no talent. The other four people should be at least as skilled as Xu Shu. When Xu Shu left, Liu Bei looked at him with tears in his eyes and said, "I want to cut down all the trees here." In an instant, the overbearing president was possessed. Just because the forest blocked his view of Xu Shu, he was about to be broken by the cold weather. Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and was sincere every time. The first two times, he didn't see Zhuge Liang's figure. Zhuge Liang's attitude became more and more arrogant, but he admired his talent more and more. Because he knew the talents of Zhuge Liang's friends, saw their friends and got to know their people. In Zhuge Lu, Nanyang, there was a scholar talking and laughing, but there was no Ding Bai. Liu Bei learned from his friends. So we can see Liu Bei's admiration for these people.

Is it because they don't like Liu Bei that they can't ask him out? Zhuge Liang has been invited out by him. Even if it is a little difficult, several other people can always turn out one or two. Even Cui, who was very negative about the Han Dynasty, praised Liu Bei's benevolent policies. Liu Huangshu is the only one who attacked Xu Du. He has been preparing to attack Xu Du. Although the attack was defeated quickly and miserably, the corner he worked so hard to dig from Yuan Shao disappeared in the evening. These make Liu Huangshu famous all over the world, and anyone with insight can see his ambition. And he is the second in command of Jingzhou. Half of Jingzhou's army is in his hand, and the other half is in the hands of Cai Mao brothers. When Liu Biao is ill, Liu Bei always entertains guests instead of him. In Jingzhou, Liu Bei's reputation is second only to Liu Biao, but it is better than Liu Biao. At this time, although Liu Bei only had a small new field, as long as he was a little black-hearted, it would be easy to occupy Jingzhou, and then he would probably plot the world. Therefore, Liu Bei still has great potential at this time, which was later confirmed by his establishment of Shu Han with the help of Zhuge Liang.

However, Liu Bei was worried that Zhuge Liang's dominance would be difficult to suppress, but he would not be shelved, and he was so much older than these young people that his son could not subdue them? There is a lost truth in thinking like this. Some people say that in the Cao Wei Group, Yu Xun, who followed Cao Cao from the beginning, was forced to death because Cao Cao wanted to add someone who opposed Wei Gongshi, because Yu Xun was too powerful. Cao Cao's important advisers have a relationship with Yu Xun in one way or another. Cao Cao's foreign campaigns are all carried out in the rear of Xun, which makes Yu Xun have a great momentum in Cao Wei Group. Cao Cao became suspicious in the later period and drove Yu Xun to death. Facts have proved that although Zhuge Liang devoted himself to death, he really put Liu Chan on the shelf. Liu Chan doesn't need brains to be emperor, just listen to the Prime Minister. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang is not Sima Yi, he is virtuous and loyal enough. But now, although Liu Bei is helpful to the ambition of Han Dynasty, there is only one place with a big fart. It seems a little early to think about this.

Then Liu Bei, who is thirsty for talent, why doesn't he wholeheartedly ask others to help him decide the world like Zhuge Liang? These five close friends were Zhuge Liang, but before he conquered, he died in Shu Han, and Xu Shu was deceived by Cao Cao to Cao Cao's camp. According to Wei Lue, Shi Guangyuan once defected to Cao Cao camp, but he was not reused in Cao Cao camp. After Cui and Meng disappeared from history, there was no record. It should be a wild crane in the cloud.

When Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he said to his younger brother Zhuge Jun, "You can plow here, and don't waste the fields. When I succeed, I will retire. " Will he miss that piece of grass reed in Wollongong, which is loose, beautiful and elegant? Will you miss the leisurely cruise in the rivers and lakes, the monk's visit in the mountains, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the cave house? Will you miss the harmony of visiting friends in the village singing and talking about metaphysical classics?

Success or failure has turned empty, the green hills are still there, and the sunset is a few degrees red. In fact, it is good that Zhuge Liang does not come out of the mountain. At the age of 27, he assisted Liu Bei and tried his best to assist the latter in military affairs. Finally, he died in Wuzhangyuan. I wonder if he has a chance to go back and see the grass reeds that he asked his brother to take care of. Living in seclusion in the mountains and indulging in mountains and rivers may become an idyllic poet and literary master like Tao Yuanming. If Zhuge Liang had not come out of the mountain, perhaps the alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Wu would not have succeeded, perhaps Sun Wu would have surrendered to Cao Cao, perhaps Cao Cao could unify the world at an early date, and perhaps there would not have been the Eight Kings Rebellion, the Five Rebellions, and the dark ages of more than 400 years of division and war in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Well, it is also possible that history will be more chaotic and people's lives will be more difficult. History does not exist. There may be a very simple reason why Zhuge Liang's five close friends chose different paths. I don't know. Perhaps it was just Luo Guanzhong who made several of his close friends appear intensively in order to set off Zhuge Liang's talent, which Liu Bei never saw. I'm just reading a book and thinking. ...
