Liu Bei is arranging gifts and wants to visit Zhuge Liang in Longzhong. Suddenly someone reported, "There is a gentleman outside the door who looks very good. I came to visit him." Liu Bei said, "Is this Zhuge Liang?" So I got dressed and went out to see you. But Si Mahui also saw it. Liu Bei was overjoyed, went into the backyard and sat high. He bowed and said, "Take care. I missed my visit because of my military affairs. It's a great comfort to admire you now. " Hui said, "I heard it was here, so I came for a while." Liu Bei said, "Recently, Cao Cao imprisoned his mother. It seems that she sent someone to read the book and sent him back to Xuchang." Hui said, "This is Cao Cao's plan! I have always heard that Xu's mother is the most virtuous. Although imprisoned by Cao Cao, she won't call her son. This book will deceive people. Yuan can't walk straight, his mother is still there; If I go today, my mother will die! " Liu Bei was surprised to ask him why, and Hui said, "Xu's mother is noble and righteous, and she will be ashamed to see her son." Liu Bei said, "With Yuan Zhi gone, I recommend Zhuge Liang to be in Nanyang. What about him? " Hui smiled and said, "If you want to go, he will go by himself. Why did you let him out sick? " Liu Bei said, "Why did Sir say that?" Hui said, "I am close friends with Buring Cui, Yingchuan, Runan Meng and others. These four people are all committed to cleanliness, and only Kong Ming understands it. I tried to recite the scriptures on my knees, but I said to the four men, "A public official can go to the secretariat and guard the county." When asked what his ambition was, Kong Ming just smiled. Every time I compare myself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, I can't measure it. " Liu Bei said, "He Ying Chuan is so talented! Hui said, "In the past, I was good at observing astronomy, saying that the stars gathered in Yingfen, and there were many sages in the earth. "Yun Chang said aside:" I heard that Guan Zhong and Le Yi were celebrities in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and their contributions spread all over the world; Is it too much for Kong Ming to compare himself with these two men? " Hui smiled and said, "In my opinion, it is inappropriate to compare these two people; I want to give it to two other people. " Yun Chang asked, "What about those two? Hui said, "This is comparable to Jiang Ziya in 800 and in 400." . "Everyone got a fright. The emblem of the next stage is ready to go, but Liu Bei can't keep it. Hui smiled and said, "Although Wolong has its owner, it is a pity that it is out of date!" Having said that, I drifted away. Liu Bei sighed, "What a hermit! "

The next day, Liu Bei came to Longzhong with Guan, Zhang and others. Looking at a few people on the hillside, lotus hoe plowed in the field and sang: "The sky is like a round cover, and the ground is like a chess game; The world is divided into black and white, and people fight for honor and disgrace: those who honor feel at ease and those who insult are mediocre. Nanyang has seclusion and lack of sleep! " Hearing this song, Liu Bei bridled the reins, called the farmer and asked, "Who wrote this song?" Answer: "Mr. Wolong did it." Liu Bei said, "Where does Mr. Wolong live?" The farmer said, "From then on, Shan Zhinan and Gorkon became Wollongong. The thatched cottage in the forest in front of the mountain, that is, Mr. Zhuge lies high. " Liu Bei thanked him and continued riding. After walking a few miles, I looked at Wollongong in the distance, and sure enough, the scenery was unusual. Later generations had an ancient style and a single way of living in Wolong. The poem says: "Twenty miles west of Wancheng, there is flowing water in Gorkon pillow: Gorkon bends down the roots of clouds, and flowing water flies;" If the situation is trapped on the dragon stone, it is shaped like a single phoenix pine in the shade; Chai Men half-mask, some can't afford to lie down. Repair the green screen of bamboo rafts, and the flowers in the four seasons fall wild; The deposits on the bedside are yellow, and there is no Ding Bai on the seat; Knock on the door to send fruit, and the old crane at the door listens to the scriptures at night; The famous piano in the bag contains ancient brocade, and the seven-star wall is hung on the sword. Mr. Lu Zhong is quiet and elegant. In his spare time, he cultivates crops personally: only when the spring thunder wakes up from his dream, he will scream and be safe in the world. " Liu Bei came to the front of the villa, dismounted and knocked on Chai Men. A child asked questions. Liu Bei said, "General Han Zuo led Liu Bei, an animal husbandry uncle from Yuzhou, to see you in Yicheng." The boy said, "I can't remember many names." Liu Bei said, "You only said that Liu Bei was visiting. The boy said, "Sir, you seldom go out this morning." Liu Bei said, "Where have you been? The boy said, "This road is uncertain. I don't know where to go." . "Liu Bei said," When will you come back? " The boy said, "the return date is uncertain, or three or five days, or ten days." Xuande was very disconsolate. Zhang Fei said, "Since I haven't seen you, I'll go home like this." Liu Bei said, "Just wait a little longer." Yun Chang said, "Why don't you go home and send someone to inquire? Liu Bei obeyed him and told the boy, "If Mr. Liu comes back, Liu Bei can visit him. "Then I got on my horse and walked for a few miles. I reined in and watched the scenery in Longzhong. Sure enough, this mountain is not high, nor beautiful and elegant. The land is not wide and uneven, and the forest is small and lush; Apes and cranes meet and they become friends with each other. While I was watching, I suddenly saw a man, handsome and handsome, wearing a free and unfettered towel, a soap robe and crutches, coming from a mountain path. Liu Bei said, "This must be Mr. Wolong!" He quickly dismounted to salute and asked, "Sir, isn't this Wolong?" The man said, "Who is the general?" Liu Bei said, "Liu Bei also." The man said, "I'm not, but my friend Cui." Liu Bei said, "I've heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you." . I ask for the right to sit on the spot and ask for a word. "Two people sitting on a stone in the forest, guan and zhang stood on one side. Zhou Ping said, "Why does the general want to see Kong Ming? "Liu Bei said," There is chaos in the world today, and there are clouds everywhere. I want to see Kong Ming and ask for advice from Guotai Min 'an. " Zhou Ping said with a smile, "Although the public is kind, it is impermanent to control chaos since ancient times. Since the high-impedance snake-cutting uprising, there is no way to punish Qin, which is also to control chaos; In the world of sorrow, joy and peace for two hundred years, peace is long, Wang Mang usurps the inverse, and chaos is caused by governance; Rejuvenate the martial arts, rectify the foundation, and return to the chaos; Today, the people have been in peace for a long time, so the war has resumed: this is the time to control the chaos, and Fukashi is also. The general wants Kong Ming to mediate between heaven and earth and repair Gan Kun, but it is not easy to do so, and it will only take a lot of effort. Don't you smell that people who adapt to the weather are escaping, and those who go against the sky are working hard; Where is the number, you can't take it away; Where is life, people can't be strong? " Liu Bei said, "What you said is very sincere. But as a Han Zhou, he should help the Han family. How dare he entrust his number and life? " Zhou Ping said, "Shan Ye's husband is not enough to talk about what's going on in the world. He is suitable for asking questions in public, so he talks nonsense. " Liu Bei said, "Mr Meng is a teacher. But I want to know where Kong Ming has gone? " Zhou Ping said, "I also want to visit it, and I don't know where it is going." Liu Bei said, "Would you please come with me to our county?" Zhou Ping said, "Stupidity is quite idle, and I have no intention of becoming famous for a long time; Let me see you another day. "Say that finish, I will go away. Liu Bei rode with Guan and Zhang. Zhang Fei said, "Kong Ming can't visit again, but he met this pedant and talked for a long time!" Liu Bei said, "This is also a hermit's word. "

The three returned to Xinye, and a few days later, Liu Bei sent someone to spy on Zhuge Liang. The report said, "Mr. Wolong is back." Xuande taught to prepare horses. Zhang Fei said, "Measure a village. Why do you need your brother to go by himself? You can have someone call you. " Liu Bei said angrily, "You haven't heard that Meng Ziyun wants to see the sage instead of his way, but you still want to go in and close the door?" Kong Ming is the great sage in the world, how can he be called! "So he rode his horse to visit Kongming. Guan and Zhang are neck and neck. It was the middle of winter, the weather was cold and the clouds were thick. After traveling for countless miles, suddenly the north wind blew fiercely, and the snow and rain were raining: the mountains were like jade clusters, and the forests were like silver makeup. Zhang Fei said, "It's freezing, and we haven't used troops yet. How can we expect a useless person? Might as well go back to Xinye for shelter from the wind and snow. Liu Bei said, "I want Kong to know my hospitality. If the younger generation is afraid of the cold, you can go back first. " Fei said, "I'm not afraid of the cold when I'm dead! But I'm afraid my brother will be worried. " Liu Bei said, "Don't say anything, just come with me. "Near the cabin, I suddenly heard someone singing in a roadside hotel. Liu Bei listened at once. His song said: "The name of a strong man has not yet been achieved, and it has been a long time since we met in Yangchun! You see that people in the East China Sea don't talk about Jingzhen, and then the car approaches King Wen; Eight hundred princes met unexpectedly, and white fish got on the boat and waded into Jin Meng; Konoha bled in World War I and was crowned as a warrior. Levin drinkers were not seen in the drafting process, and they were long and accurate; Talking about Wang Ba's amazing ears, dropping out of school and sitting on Qin Yingfeng; There are seventy-two cities in the east, and no one in the world can follow. The advantages of the two are still the same. Who wants to talk about heroes so far? "After a break, another man knocked on the table and sang. His song said: "My emperor raised his sword to clear the sea and started his business in 400 years;" "Huan ling season, fire, moral decay, treacherous court official and traitors in the best position. The green snake flew down from the throne and saw the demon rainbow descending to the Jade Hall. Thieves gather like ants everywhere, and adulterers are young forever. We clapped our hands in the air and went to the village shop to drink village wine. If you are good at it, why become an immortal! "

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 Wolong (now in the west of Nanyang, Henan Province, and southwest of Xiangyang, Hubei Province) with gifts, and asked Zhuge Liang to come out to help. It happened that Zhuge Liang was out that day, so Liu Bei had to turn back in disappointment. Soon, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei braved the snowstorm and invited them 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, Liu Bei was a vegetarian for three days and was ready to invite Zhuge Liang again. Guan Yu said that Zhuge Liang may have a hollow reputation, but he may not have real talent and learning, so he doesn't have to go. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, advocated that he should make a phone call alone and tie it up with a rope when he didn't come. Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei and went to visit Zhuge Liang with them for the third time. At this time, Zhuge Liang was sleeping. Liu Bei dare not disturb him. He stood 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.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms called Liu Bei's three invitations to Zhuge Liang "three visits to the cottage". Zhuge Liang also said in the famous "Teacher's List" that "the first emperor had no intention of being a minister, but he was self-defeating and took care of his ministers in the grass." So when the world saw someone go to that person's home several times in a row and asked the person he admired to come out and help him, he quoted this sentence to describe his desire and sincere mood. That is to say, I am not ashamed to ask questions, and I am open-minded to seek talents. In the 12th year of Jian 'an (207), when Zhuge Liang was 27 years old, Liu Bei visited the Caotang in Longzhong, Nanyang, and met Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang brilliantly analyzed the situation at that time, and put forward the strategic idea of seizing Jing and Yi as a base, reforming politics at home, uniting with Sun Quan abroad, appeasing Yi Yue in the south, waiting for an opportunity, dividing the troops into two northern expeditions and unifying the whole country.
