Zhuge Liang in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms lived in seclusion in Longzhong, Xiangyang, and was led to Liu Bei by Xu Shu. Then Liu Beisan came out of the mountain. At first, he was not favored by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. After burning Bowangpo, he believed in Zhuge Liang's wisdom. Cao Cao's army went south, and Liu Beijun retreated to Jiangxia. When he left, Zhuge Liang set an ambush, submerged Cao Cao's army and set it on fire.
Then, as an emissary, he went to Jiangdong to discuss with the Confucians and persuaded Sun Quan to unite with Liu Bei against Cao Cao. He cooperated with Zhou Yu, but burned Chibi with cleverness, and expected that Zhou Yu wanted to harm himself and let Zhao Yun sail to meet him in advance. After returning to Liu Beiying, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were sent to pursue Cao Cao and plan the story of Guan Yu's Huarong Road.
After Cao Cao's defeat, Zhuge Liang captured Jiangling with one move, and Zhou Yu immediately captured Jiangling. After he counterattacked Jingzhou, he saw through Zhou Yu's false plan to destroy the enemy, and Zhou Yu was so angry that Zhou Yu said, "Why should I be born?"
Liu Bei went to Sichuan and lost Pang Tong. Zhuge Liang, who was stationed in Jingzhou, told Guan Yu that "Sun Wu was allied in the east and Cao Cao was resisted in the north", and Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun supported him to enter Sichuan, and then he took the opportunity to win Chengdu. Then he took part in the battle of Hanzhong and persuaded Liu Bei to be king with his ministers. After Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, he pretended to be ill and advised Liu Bei to be the emperor. After Liu Bei failed to attack Wu, he trusted Zhuge Liang and made his two younger brothers Liu Yong and Liu Li recognize Zhuge Liang as his father.
Shortly after Liu Chan proclaimed himself emperor, Sima Yi of Cao Wei arranged a plan to attack Shu Han, and Zhuge Liang shot down all five armies without leaving the Prime Minister's office. After that, Meng Huo, the seven captors, was sent to pacify Nanzhong, but when he burned his protruding bones, he consciously killed himself too much.
After accumulating enough strength, Zhuge Liang led the army to the northern expedition and left Qishan in six ways. Although it was quite successful, it failed to achieve the goal of pacifying the Central Plains and reviving the Han Dynasty. Before the end of his life, he put on a seven-star light array to continue his life, but Wei Yan accidentally put out the light, taught Jiang Wei what he had learned all his life and made a plan, and then died.
