Chapter 223 Liu Bei’s Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage
Not only Li Si is curious, but even Ying Zheng and others are also very curious. A shoe seller, a meat seller, and a date seller. Just three people can get one third of the world. This world is too big. It’s easy to take it.
Qin An smiled and said: "What's the point? In history, beggars can become the founding emperors, not to mention the three Liu Bei who have royal blood.
Lao Li, don't forget that Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was not a nobleman, he was just a pavilion chief in Surabaya.
Times create heroes. Liu Bang and Liu Bei are heroes created by times. Coupled with their charisma, many people are willing to follow them.
As an uncle of the emperor, Liu Bei is of royal blood. When no one in the royal family dares to take the lead, Liu Bei takes the lead and will always talk about benevolence and righteousness and keep the people in his heart.
Over time Liu Bei's reputation came out.
However, Liu Bei was miserable at the beginning. He had no territory. He finally got a small territory but was driven away. Finally, he learned that Zhuge Kongming was in Longzhong, so he went to look for him.
Zhuge Kongming, surnamed Zhuge, given name Liang, courtesy name Kongming, nickname Wolong.
His acquaintances call him Kong Ming, his enemies call him Zhuge Liang, and those who fear him call him Mr. Kong Ming or Mr. Wolong.
Zhuge Kongming lived in seclusion in Longzhong, living in a thatched house all day long, living a life without fighting against the world. He seemed very carefree, but he was very concerned about national affairs.
Zhuge Kongming was very knowledgeable and liked to study the art of war. He had been waiting for a wise master to appear in Longzhong.
After Liu Bei learned about Zhuge Kongming's talents, he made a special trip to Longzhong to visit him.
During the first visit, Zhuge Kongming went out and was no longer in the secluded thatched cottage. Liu Bei was waiting outside the house. After waiting for a long time, Zhuge Kongming did not come back, so he had to turn back disappointed.
However, this did not cause Liu Bei to be dissatisfied, nor did he lose his patience.
Soon, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei braved the heavy snowstorm and came to Zhuge Kongming's residence for the second time. Unexpectedly, no one was there again.
Zhang Fei, who originally didn't like scholars very much, saw this and said that Zhuge Kongming was playing tricks on everyone, was not sincere, and would not help Liu Bei, etc., so he directly dragged Liu Bei back.
Liu Bei had no choice but to leave a letter expressing his admiration for Zhuge Liang and asking him to come out to help him save the country's dangerous situation.
After some time, Liu Bei was ready to invite Zhuge Kongming again.
But Guan Yu said that Zhuge Kongming might have a false name, but he might not have such real talent and learning, so there was no need to go.
Zhang Fei even insisted that he call him alone. If he didn't come, he would be tied up with a rope.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei directly, and immediately visited Zhuge Liang with them for the third time.
When we arrived at the hut, Zhuge Liang was sleeping. Liu Bei did not dare to disturb him. He stood there until Zhuge Liang woke up and then sat down to talk to each other.
This is the famous "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage", and it was precisely because of Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage that he moved Zhuge Kongming with his sincerity and made Zhuge Kongming come out to help him.
After Liu Bei got the help of Zhuge Kongming, it didn't take long to occupy a large area of land, and finally established the Shu Han Dynasty, which became one of the Three Kingdoms alongside Soochow and Cao Wei.
There were many civil servants, military generals, and counselors in the Three Kingdoms. If you want to know, I can tell you the story.
After listening to Three Kingdoms, you will be able to see strategies, tactics and heroism that you have never thought of. "
"Sir, Zhuge Kongming is so powerful, why didn't he unify the world in the end?" Li Si asked.
"This is all Zhuge Liang's fault." Qin An sighed, "Zhuge Liang is good at everything, and he does everything by himself. This is the origin of the word "do everything by himself."
As a result, he became ill from overwork and finally died.
In addition, after Guan Yu was killed, Liu Bei ignored Zhuge Kongming's dissuasion and led an army of 400,000 to take revenge. In the end, the entire army of 400,000 was annihilated. The vitality of the Shu Kingdom was severely damaged, and it no longer had the power to dominate the world.
However, because Zhuge Kongming was in charge, both Soochow and Cao Wei had nothing to do with Shu.
Also, after Liu Bei died, he made a fool the emperor. No matter how much Zhuge Liang supported him, it was useless. When Cao Wei finally invaded, Adou opened the city gate and surrendered.
Historically, Adou has been called Adou who cannot be supported. Later generations will refer to people or things that have no development prospects as Adou who cannot be supported. This is often the case with people. "
Everyone suddenly realized that it turned out that Zhuge Liang was exhausted to death by himself, and that the Kingdom of Shu was destroyed because a fool became the emperor.
Qin An looked at Wei Liaozi and said: "Old Wei, you are a military strategist. These eight formations are more suitable for you. Now I will tell you the eight formations in the eight formations."
"Please give me some advice, sir." Wei Liaozi said respectfully.
Qin An nodded and said: "The eight formations are named after heaven, earth, wind, cloud, dragon, tiger, bird and snake. Together with the Chinese army, there are nine formations in total.
The central army is composed of sixteen small formations, and the eight surrounding formations are each composed of six small formations, for a total of sixty-four small formations.
Among the eight formations, the sky, earth, wind, and clouds are the "four righteousnesses", and the dragon, tiger, bird, and snake are the "four wonders."
In addition, there are still twenty-four formations deployed at the rear for maneuverability.
The eight formations are the sky-covering formation, the earth-carrying formation, the wind-raising formation, the cloud-hanging formation, the dragon-flying formation, the tiger-wing formation, the bird-flying formation, and the snake-coil formation.
Heavenly Covering Formation: There are sixteen Heavenly Formations, square on the outside and round on the inside, with the four winds rising. It resembles the sky and is the leader of the formation and the leader of the troops. Make good use of the three armies, and their shape will not be biased.
Ground formations: Twelve ground formations. They are square in shape, with clouds dominating the four corners. It is difficult to attack the enemy. Its body is unpredictable, its uses are endless, and it cannot be independent. It is matched with Yang. 33
Feng Yang Formation..."
After Qin An finished talking about the eight formations in one breath, he thought to himself: Fortunately, he loves watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and Zhuge Liang is his favorite. He has studied Zhuge Liang's eight formations, otherwise he would have lost face.
After hearing this, Wei Liaozi was extremely excited: "What a great formation, what a great formation."
Feng Yan from the Yin Yang family frowned slightly and said, "Why do I think these eight formations are related to Tai Chi Bagua?"
Qin An nodded and said: "You are right. The "Eight Formations" created by Kong Ming absorbed the arrangement and combination of Jingtian and Taoist Bagua, and was compatible with astronomy and geography. It is a rare battle formation.
It's a pity that the original version has been lost. What I am talking about now are the eight formation diagrams deduced by later generations.
Was it passed down by Kong Ming's disciples, or was it passed down from the Zhuge family, or was it finally re-deduced by other geniuses, and finally became the eight formation diagram in my mouth.
I will draw the eight formation diagrams and give them to Lao Wei later. Don't dislike it. "
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it." Wei Liaozi immediately waved his hand and said, "I really didn't expect that the formation can be combined with the Taoist Bagua. I will definitely try the power of this formation if I have the chance."
Qin An smiled and said: "You have a chance. It will not exceed three years at most."
Some people died, but not completely...
