As the emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei created his own glorious chapter in history with his characteristics of generosity, loyalty, and good use of people.
Liu Bei was assisted by many talents, but he could not be retained for many reasons. Among these people, Zhuge Liang's influence is particularly far-reaching. Zhuge Liang was born in Yangdu County, Langxi County, Xuzhou, and his family is the Langya Wang clan and has received a good education since childhood.
After his father's death, he was adopted by his uncle, and he studied diligently, especially in astronomy, geography and the art of war.
In the twelfth year of Jian'an, the 27-year-old Zhuge Liang was a fledgling, and compared with Liu Bei, Cao Cao was more like a seasoned politician. However, Liu Bei suffered a crushing defeat in this battle and was forced to go into exile in Jingzhou to join Liu Biao.
In the process of searching for a savior, Liu Bei met Sima Hui, who recommended a mysterious wise man - Wolong, who is said to know astronomy and geography, and if he can help, Liu Bei's ambition will be just around the corner.
Liu Bei was overjoyed and decided to invite Zhuge Liang, who was respectfully known as "Wolong". They were preparing to travel with their brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang was in Xiangyang, Hubei, and there was still some distance from Jingzhou.
After the three of them were ready, they finally arrived in Xiangyang after a lot of hardships, but Zhuge Liang was not at home.
In that era of underdeveloped communications, Liu Bei could only leave his name and let the three of them go back to Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei has always been obsessed with this matter, but Guan Yu thinks that Zhuge Liang is just in vain.
When Liu Bei proposed to go to Xiangyang to find Zhuge Liang again, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were both resolutely opposed, and Zhang Fei even wanted to tie Zhuge Liang directly. But Liu Bei resolutely rejected this proposal, because he knew that they had something to ask for, and it was inappropriate to kidnap Zhuge Liang directly.
Liu Bei decided to visit Zhuge Liang in person, and this was the third time he came to Zhuge Liang's residence. He brought some dry food, hoping to get Zhuge Liang's guidance. When he arrived at Zhuge Liang's house, he found that Zhuge Liang was sleeping soundly, and in order not to disturb him, Liu Bei stood quietly by the side and waited.
When Zhuge Liang woke up in the afternoon, he found that Liu Bei had been waiting for him, and he felt a little guilty in his heart. When he heard that Liu Bei had come to look for him for the third time, he was moved by Liu Bei's perseverance and finally agreed to become Liu Bei's military adviser.
Facts have proved that Zhuge Liang's vision is accurate. Liu Bei, whom he likes, is an open-minded and eloquent leader. Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei, not only helping him conquer the city, but also helping him turn the danger into a disaster at a time of crisis, successfully establishing the Shu Han regime and stabilizing the world of the Liu family.
It is said that when Liu Bei "visited the thatched house three times", he missed a peerless master, Cui Zhouping. Cui Zhouping is also a friend of the above people, born in a famous family, the family has always been simple and kind, and thinks about the people.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo wanted to seek the throne, but he realized that he needed a justifiable reason, otherwise the identity of the Tu Emperor would be difficult to be recognized by the people and pose a threat to the later rule.
He formulated the strategy of "supporting the crown prince", and began to corrupt people's hearts from within the court, and his power was incomparable, as if one person was above ten thousand. Dong Zhuo had a cruel temperament, and it was light to punch and kick his subordinates, and his soldiers also inherited this brutal method, wantonly plundering the people's daughters in the city.
Dong Zhuo indiscriminately killed innocent people and looted the people's fat and ointment, which caused public indignation among the people, and the rebels swarmed up in various places. Cui Zhouping's team was also among them, and they held on to Xihe, but unfortunately, because Cui Zhouping was bent on fighting Dong Zhuo and neglected Xihe's rear defense, Xihe was invaded by the Xiongnu and turned into ruins.
In this regard, Cui Zhouping felt deeply remorseful, believing that it was his own judgment that caused the tragedy of Xihe.
Cui Zhouping's father was beheaded by Dong Zhuo in public, and the pain of the country's ruin and family death made him unable to "enter the WTO" again. After the death of his father, he completely gave up the pursuit of the world, chose to live incognito, and lived a life of seclusion, unwilling to pay attention to the distractions of war.
He grew his beard and came to a place where no one knew him, ready to spend the rest of his life like this. However, it was here that he met Liu Bei.
Cui Zhouping lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, cultivated diligently, although he did not ask about the world, but he received a good education since he was a child, and he was knowledgeable and talented. His life experiences made him acquainted with Zhuge Liang and others, and became friends with them.
When Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang for the first time, Cui Zhouping happened to meet him and was mistaken for Zhuge Liang by Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei was eager to discuss state affairs with him, Cui Zhouping did not break it, but talked with him freely.
In the end, Liu Bei learned that he was not Zhuge Liang, but he was still impressed by his wisdom. Cui Zhouping saw Liu Bei's eagerness and reminded him to do things in accordance with the way of heaven and not to violate the laws of nature.
Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh that Zhuge Liang's friends were not mortals. Although Cui Zhouping's clothes are simple, his talent is very prominent.
Cui Zhouping was tired of the intrigues of officialdom, and left after saying that, and Liu Bei did not stay when he was looking for Zhuge Liang. Later, with the help of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei successfully established the Han Dynasty, but when he was dying, he suddenly remembered what Cui Zhouping had said before.
It turned out that in Cui Zhouping's eyes, the Han Dynasty had reached the point of decline, and efforts were in vain, and when Liu Bei told him about "Xinghan", Cui Zhouping revealed those two sentences.
Did Liu Bei ever regret it, if he had invited Cui Zhouping to help at that time, would there have been a different ending? After all, with Cui Zhouping and Zhuge Liang in charge, they may be able to bring more glory to Shu.
However, Liu Bei's descendants did not inherit his ambition, and some even instigated Zhuge Liang to rebel. But Zhuge Liang always adhered to his promise and touched the world with his teacher's watch.
However, the glory of Shu is a thing of the past. In addition to Cui Zhouping, Liu Bei also has a missed talent, that is, Chen Qun. Chen Qun followed Liu Bei into Xuzhou, he had goods in his stomach, which brought a lot of motivation to Liu Bei, and he was eager to make a difference.
During the war years, Chen Qun saw Liu Bei's imperial temperament and followed him without hesitation. When Liu Bei planned to attack Xuzhou, Chen Qun raised his concerns, pointing out that Liu Bei's troops were insufficient, and a rash attack might lead to a sneak attack from other countries.
However, Liu Bei was so high-spirited that he refused to listen to Chen Qun's advice and publicly rebuked him in front of everyone. Although Liu Bei was jealous of Chen Qun, Liu Biao thought they were too cowardly, so he decided to privately lead the army to attack Xuzhou.
After learning the news, Liu Bei found Liu Biao to denounce his decision, but Chen Qun stood up to defend Liu Biao, believing that his behavior was also out of the need for self-protection.
Seeing that Chen Qun, who had opposed his attack on Xuzhou, was now on Liu Biao's side, Liu Bei was furious, not only scolding Liu Biao, but also reproaching Chen Qun.
The contradiction between Chen Qun and Liu Bei intensified, and in the end, Liu Bei could not stand Chen Qun's dure-faced stabbing and decided to expel him from the army. Chen Qun was deeply disappointed by this and left Liu Bei's team.
Chen Qun originally thought that Liu Bei had a far-sighted vision and hoped to build a strong regime with him. However, just because of a trivial contradiction, Liu Bei drove him out of the army, which made Chen Qun difficult to understand.
He began to wonder if his goals were in line with Liu Bei, and he realized that he had mistaken Liu Bei. After Chen Qun left, he learned that Cao Cao's subordinates were recruiting talents.
He didn't want his talent to be buried, so he took refuge in Cao Cao. Unlike Liu Bei, Cao Cao appreciated Chen Qun very much, and would discuss with him no matter how big or small, and even some important tasks would be handed over to Chen Qun to complete independently.
This is enough to see Cao Cao's trust in Chen Qun. The two men were similar in character, and Chen Qun's talents were fully exploited by Cao Cao's subordinates, who held Cao Cao in a pivotal position and eventually became the general of Zhenguo and established power with Cao Cao.
When Liu Bei saw Chen Qun join Cao Cao's camp, he must have had some thoughts in his heart. Chen Qun's talent, he can't be unclear. Otherwise, he would not hesitate to abandon Xuzhou on Chen Qun's previous proposal.
Maybe it was only because of a moment of anger that such an elite general was lost, giving Cao Cao an opportunity. However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and Liu Bei can only secretly regret it in the middle of the night.
However, this is not the only thing that makes him regret, he also regrets missing a genius. In addition to Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's military advisor, there is also a military genius named Tian Yu.
Tian Yu has shown his military talent since he was a child, and before he defected to Liu Bei, he was already a person with great achievements under Gongsun Zhan. When Liu Bei got Tian Yu, he was extremely happy in his heart.
Tian Yu had followed Liu Bei loyally, but he had to go home to take care of his mother because he was seriously ill. However, when the two met again, Tian Yu had become Cao Cao's subordinate.
Cao Cao's weight caused Tian Yu to leave Liu Bei and become an important figure under Cao Cao. Liu Bei once let Tian Yu go home because of humanitarianism, but eventually lost this talent.
Therefore, after Liu Bei knew Zhuge Liang's ability, he never let him leave, making him the most important person to assist him. All this proves that the right time, place and people often determine a person's fate.
Although Liu Bei is good at employing people, he still inevitably makes mistakes. This highlights the crucial importance of knowing and employing people. We can't act impulsively when dealing with friends, and when we meet excellent talents, we must hold on tightly.
These people may be able to change history, but history is unpredictable, what we can do is to be ready at all times, as the old saying goes, "don't fight the unprepared", opportunities are always left to those who are prepared.
Seize the opportunity, don't be like Liu Bei missed Chen Qun, and let go of the opportunity on the spur of the moment, which may affect your life. Even if we are just spectators of the story, we should learn something from it to make the story of the Three Kingdoms even more exciting.
