From the dust-covered orphan in Langya to the Crouching Dragon working hard in Longzhong; from the mutual friendship after three visits to the thatched cottage, to the bloody promise made by Bai Di Tuogu; from the heart-breaking pursuit of capturing Meng Huo seven times, to the unswerving determination to leave Qishan six times - this book uses magnificent writing to panoramically reproduce the magnificent life of the most legendary wise man in Chinese history, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Following Zhuge Liang's footsteps, you will experience his dormant years of youth chaos and hard study in Jingxiang; witness his extraordinary wisdom in seeing the world deeply and having the grand plan of "Longzhong Dui" in mind; and feel his early emergence. The thatched cottage burned Bowang, talked with the Confucian scholars, borrowed arrows from a straw boat, and cleverly borrowed the east wind's amazing talent; appreciate his ability to unite Wu to fight against Cao, fight fiercely at Chibi, outwit Jingxiang, and set the tripod in Bashu. It will also go deeper into the second half of his dedicated life: the heavy responsibility of Bai Di Tuogu, the heroic southern expedition of crossing Lu in May, the strict laws and regulations of beheading Su with tears, and the tragic and heroic Northern Expedition, which he knew he couldn't do, but worked hard for it again and again.
This book not only focuses on his "wisdom almost like a demon" in military strategy and extraordinary talent in governing the country, but also details his loyalty and sincerity, his friendship with Liu Bei, his mutual understanding and mutual support with Huang Yueying, and his deep helplessness in the face of the impermanence of destiny. Through gripping dramatic conflicts and rich historical details, it shows how a famous prime minister through the ages who combines wisdom, loyalty, ideals and pathos, lives up to his eternal vow of "devoting his life to death", and composes a soul-stirring and heartbreaking heroic epic in the war of troubled times.
