"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" contains too many exaggerations and fabrications about Zhuge Liang, and the dramatic plots such as borrowing arrows from straw boats and the empty city strategy are even more fictitious. Folklore has given Zhuge Liang a layer of mystery and mystery; for thousands of years, the real Zhuge Liang has been buried in those magical legends and stories.
This book will restore to you a flesh-and-blood Zhuge Liang with true feelings.
When he was 6 years old, Zhuge Liang lost his parents. When he was 14 years old, he led his family to move south, planning and escaping war and vendetta along the way. At the age of 20, he was recognized as "Wolong", but he was content with farming and studying instead of pursuing an official career. When he was 26 years old, Zhuge Liang smiled and spoke 356 words to Liu Bei who came to visit him three times, and the general trend of the world was like clearing the clouds. The Liu Bei Group's development strategy for the next thirty years was thus laid.
After coming out of the mountain, Cao's army pressed on the border. In the crisis, Zhuge Liang crossed the river alone and cleverly provoked Sun Quan to fight against Cao. This led to the great victory at Chibi. While Soochow was still celebrating its victory, Zhuge Liang had already decided to win the biggest victory - the four counties of Jingzhou. Less than a year after acquiring Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei emerged from despair.
After the age of 43, Zhuge Liang took sole control of the military and political power, and began the ten-year period of prosperity of the Shu Han Dynasty: he used Legalism internally to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and externally led the army to conquer the south and the north.
