(Mr. Shuijing) went out and laughed at the sky and said, "It's a pity that Wolong won the master!" Having said that, I drifted away. What does that mean?

Although Wolong got the master at the wrong time, it also means that although Kongming met a master who could display his talents, the Han Dynasty had declined at this time. Although Kong Ming is full of talents and accepts the world, it is hopeless to help Liu Bei revive the Han Dynasty. It can be said that he was born at the wrong time.

Liu Bei is a good host. First, he is ambitious, ambitious and unwilling to be a minister; Second, he is eager for virtue and can listen to people's words; Third, he is famous and a "star". After Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang, he talked with him every day during that time, like a duck to water.

However, during Liu Bei's visit to Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao's war against Yuan in the north has entered the final stage. Cao Cao's overall situation of unifying the north has been set, and the next step must be to fight south. Wu Dong also started the strategic process in full swing, and attacked Jingxiang with troops according to the Yangtze River. During this period, Sun Quan has gradually gained an advantage in the war against Jingxiang.

Compared with them, Liu Bei did not have a solid foundation at this time, and his strength was too small to compete with them. If Zhuge Liang becomes Liu Bei's subordinate, these problems will soon become what he needs to face.

Therefore, the disparity in strength is an indisputable fact and cannot be reversed in a short time. Si Mahui knew that even if Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, it would be difficult to achieve their goal of restoring the Han Dynasty and unifying the world.

First of all, Cao Cao has unified the north, and he has the initiative to make friends with governors and occupy military advisers. Moreover, Cao Cao's military ability was very strong, and his advisers were powerful, occupying the largest and richest territory, which made Cao Cao the most powerful force at that time. There is only one Cao Cao, and Liu Bei is difficult to deal with. Liu Bei also knows that he is no match for Cao Cao.

Plus the ambitious Wu Dong. All this makes Zhuge Liang, although he has the talents of Guan Zhong and Le Yi, a clever woman can't cook without rice. This great strategic task of unifying the world is extremely difficult to achieve. Therefore, Si Mahui would say that Zhuge Liang was born at an untimely time. Even if Liu Bei's strength can be compared with that of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang's talents will be better displayed.
