At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao seized the emperor to make the princes, and most of the more powerful warlords were wiped out by him. Only Liu Bei and Sun Quan have the possibility of development and expansion, and Cao Cao knows that it is still difficult to annex these two forces at once. So Cao Cao sent people to Soochow with letters, trying to join hands with Sun Quan to destroy Liu Bei. ?
Most of Sun Quan's advisers advocated Cao Cao's self-protection, and only Lu Su advocated Liu Kang Cao. However, Lu Su knew that it was difficult to convince Sun Quan and the civil servants in Soochow, and specially invited Zhuge Liang to be a lobbyist. ?
Lu Su introduced Zhuge Liang to a group of counselors in Wu Dong. These people are not ordinary people, but they are all learned people. Zhang Zhao, the first counselor of Wudong, first made a fuss, saying: I heard that Liu Bei visited your home three times before inviting you out of the mountain, thinking that having you would be like fishing in troubled waters and trying to seize the nine counties of Jingxiang as the base. But Jing Xiang has been got by Cao Cao. What do you think? ?
Zhuge Liang thought that if Zhang Zhao was not stumped first, there would be no way to convince Sun Quanlian and Liu Kangcao. Zhuge Liang said: Liu Bei took Jingxiang's territory easily, but he didn't want to seize the inheritance of the same clan. Cao Cao took advantage of it. Now we are stationed in Jiangxia, and there are other grand plans. How do idle people know this?
In matters of state affairs and social security, people with real talents and practical knowledge should come up with good ideas. The speaker, sitting and talking, can't figure out a way when he meets something, but he can only be laughed at by the whole world. In a word, Mr. Zhang was speechless. ?
Later, a counselor asked: Cao Cao stationed millions of troops and will list thousands of people. You say you're not afraid, you brag. Zhuge Liang replied: Liu Bei retreated to Xiakou and waited for an opportunity, but the soldiers had enough food and grass, and the Yangtze River had natural dangers to defend, but it was your shame to persuade Sun Quan to surrender to Cao. ?
The counselors of Soochow challenged Zhuge Liang one by one, as many as seven, and Zhuge Liang refuted them.
Extended data:
First of all, the author introduces:
Luo Guanzhong, between 1330 ~ 1400, was a popular novelist in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. His native place is Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, and Qiantang, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, which is uncertain. According to legend, Luo Guanzhong was the guest of Zhang Shicheng, a peasant uprising army at the end of Yuan Dynasty.
A famous novelist and dramatist at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, China was the originator of Zhang Hui's novels. Born in the feudal dynasty at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty. As a drama critic associated with "advocating Excellence" and "prostitute art", he was regarded as an inferior person in Goulan Washe at that time, and it was impossible for the official history to write classics for him.
The only thing I can see is an unreliable pamphlet "Ghost Book Continuation", which was compiled by an anonymous person in the Ming Dynasty. It reads: "Luo Guanzhong, a native of Taiyuan, is scattered in lakes and seas. Loneliness with others, Yuefu argot, extremely fresh. I forgot to be friends with Yu, and I suffered many losses, and I lived far apart. This is just the beginning of the resumed meeting. I haven't come for more than 60 years, but I don't know where it will end. "
Luo Guanzhong wrote many works in his life. His major works are: The Dragon and Tiger Club of Zhao Taizu, Serial of Loyalty and Filial Piety, and Zhang Sanping Crying. Novels such as The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, The Romance of Tang and Five Dynasties, The Legend of Sansui Demon, The Powder House, The Water Margin co-authored by Shi Naian, etc., among which the representative works are The Romance of Three Kingdoms (full name Romance of Three Kingdoms) and so on.
Second, the source: Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of China's classical Four Great Classical Novels, is China's first chapter-by-chapter historical romance novel. Its full name is Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms (also known as Romance of the Three Kingdoms), written by Luo Guanzhong, a famous novelist in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.
There are several versions of the popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as Jiajing Renwu Edition. By the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Mao Zonggang had rearranged the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, revised the wording and changed the poems.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the history of nearly a hundred years from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, mainly describing the war, telling the story of the warlord melee in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the political and military struggle between Wei, Shu and Wu, and finally Sima Yan unified the three countries and established the Jin Dynasty.
It reflects the transformation of various social struggles and contradictions during the Three Kingdoms period, summarizes the historical changes of this era, and shapes a group of heroes of the Three Kingdoms.
The book can be roughly divided into five parts: The Yellow turban insurrectionary, Dong Zhuo's rebellion, competing among the heroes, the Three Kingdoms' separation, and the Three Kingdoms' return to Jin. On the vast historical stage, a magnificent war scene was staged. Luo Guanzhong, the author, combines the thirty-six strategies of Sun Tzu's Art of War between the lines, including both the plot and the strategy of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the first novel, the first historical novel and the first literati novel in the history of China literature.
