The deeds of Zhuge Liang
Three visits to the thatched cottage
When Liu Bei settled in Xinye, he realized that the reason why he wasted half his life was that although there were powerful generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei around him, he had no plans. The counselors who are planning the strategy will be polite and virtuous, and seek good help. On the recommendation of Sima Hui and Xu Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei came to Xiangyang Longzhong to visit Zhuge Liang.
When they first came to the thatched cottage, Liang had already gone out, and the three of them met Liang's friend Cui Zhouping on their way back; a few days later, Liu, Guan, and Zhang braved the wind and snow to visit the thatched cottage. On the way, I met Liang's good friends Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei. When he arrived at the thatched cottage, he saw Liang's younger brother Zhuge Jun. Only then did he know that Liang had gone on a trip, so he prepared to leave a note expressing his admiration. When returning, he met Liang's father-in-law, Huang Chengyan, by the small bridge at the foot of Longzhong Mountain. After a while, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei visited the thatched cottage three times, and they happened to find Liang at home, but he had not woken up from his nap. Liu Bei asked Guan and Zhang to wait outside the door. He walked in slowly and stood at the foot of the stairs with his hands folded. They did not meet each other until they woke up. [Sangu Hall: Built in the 58th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1719 AD), it is the memorial hall of Liu Bei's "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" and Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Dui". ]

After the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei fled to Jingzhou and defected to Liu Biao. Liu Biao assigned him some troops and stationed him in Xinye (now Xinye County, Henan Province).
Liu Bei was an ambitious man. Because his ambitions were not realized, he was always unhappy. He wanted to find a good assistant. He found out that there was a famous person named Sima Hui in Xiangyang, so he went to visit him.
Sima Hui said: "There are Wolong and Fengchu (sound chú) in this area. If you can invite one of them, you can pacify the world." Sima Hui told Liu Bei: Wolong's name is Zhuge Liang. , named Kongming; Fengchu's name was Pang Tong, named Shiyuan.
Xu Shu was also a local celebrity. He came to join him because he heard that Liu Bei was recruiting talents. Liu Bei was very happy and kept Xu Shu as a counselor. Xu Shu said: "I have an old friend Zhuge Kongming, people call him Wolong. General, would you like to meet him?" Liu Bei listened to Xu Shu's introduction and said, "Since you are so familiar with him, please take the trouble to go there." , invite him here!" Xu Shu shook his head and said, "This is not possible. The general must invite him in person to show your sincerity."
Liu Bei heard Sima. Hui and Xu Shu respected Zhuge Liang and knew that Zhuge Liang must be a great talent, so they took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Longzhong to find Zhuge Liang. After visiting the thatched cottage three times, Zhuge Liang was finally moved by Liu Bei's sincerity and received Liu Bei in his thatched cottage.
Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's humility in asking for advice, so he talked to Liu Bei about his ideas from the bottom of his heart. He said: "Now Cao Cao has defeated Yuan Shao and has a million troops, and he has held the emperor hostage to issue orders. This means we cannot compete with him just by force. Sun Quan has occupied Jiangdong for three generations. The terrain of Jiangdong is dangerous, and now the people To join him, there are still a group of talented people working for him. It seems that we can only unite with him and not take his ideas."
Then Zhuge Liang analyzed Jingzhou and Yizhou (today's Sichuan, China). The situation in Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hubei, and Guizhou) was that Jingzhou was an important military location, but Liu Biao could not hold it. Yizhou has fertile and vast land and has always been called the "Land of Abundance". However, the owner Liu Zhang was also a cowardly and incompetent man, and everyone was dissatisfied with him.
Finally, he said: "The general is a descendant of the royal family and is famous all over the world. If you can occupy Jing and Yi states, unite with Sun Quan externally, and rectify internal affairs internally, once you have the opportunity, you can start from They marched from Jingzhou and Yizhou to attack Cao Cao. By then, who wouldn't welcome the general? If we can do this, our achievements will be accomplished and the Han Dynasty will be restored." Liu Bei heard this from Zhuge Liang. After some incisive and thorough analysis, my thoughts suddenly became enlightened. He felt that Zhuge Liang's talent was rare, so he sincerely asked Zhuge Liang to come out and help him complete the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang then came out to assist Liu Bei.
Later, people called this incident "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" and Zhuge Liang's conversation was called "Longzhong Dui".
(It is said to be Longzhong, Xiangyang, or Nanyang. It is difficult to decide?)
Wuzhangyuan
Wuzhangyuan is located in Qishan County, Baoji City, 130 kilometers east of Xi'an and 56 kilometers west of Baoji. kilometers, 25 kilometers north of Qishan County. It is more than 20 meters high and covers an area of ??about 12 square kilometers. Wuzhangyuan is surrounded by Qipan Mountain in the south and Weihe River in the north. The east and west sides are deep ditches carved by the river. The situation is dangerous. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang stationed troops in Wuzhangyuan to fight against Sima Yi. He later died of illness in Wuzhangyuan due to overwork, and Wuzhangyuan became famous all over the world. It was Zhuge Liang's last battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period.
In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang led his troops from Hanzhong, passed through the Qinling Mountains, and stationed at Wuzhangyuan. When we first arrived, we were short of food and grass, so we first settled in the fields to train our troops and waited to attack Wei. Wei general Sima Yi was well aware of Zhuge Liang's clever plan, so he stayed on the north bank of the Wei River and did not dare to send troops rashly. The two sides remained in a stalemate for a hundred days at Wuzhangyuan without fighting. Zhuge Liang had to lure Wei soldiers into Hulugou to fight, and set fire to the mouth of the valley in order to defeat Wei general Sima Yi. Unexpectedly, a heavy rain caused the Wei army to escape death. In the autumn of the same year, Zhuge Liang died of illness in the army, and the Shu army was defeated. When Sima Yi entered the place where Zhuge Liang was commanding the battle, he saw the dangerous position of the Shu army and exclaimed: "There are geniuses in the world." In order to commemorate Zhuge Liang, later generations built a temple here.
According to local folklore, when Zhuge Liang died, a star fell from the sky, hence the name. The place where Zhuge Liang farmed was known as "Zhuge Tian". There are still remnants of a half-meter-high city wall where Zhuge Liang set up military tents and commanded operations. It is about 250 meters long from north to south and nearly 100 meters wide from east to west. The local people named this small castle "Huoluo City". On the Qinling hillside south of Huoluo City, there is a flat stone with chessboard lines on it. It is said that Zhuge Liang played chess here, so the mountain was named "Qipan Mountain". Many "Zhuge pots" have been found in the soil of Wuzhangyuan, and the iron pots have official script characters of the Han Dynasty cast on them. Wudaiyuan is now a farmland, and tourists here always want to find the relics and rumors of the ancient battlefield. There is a bay in the middle of the farmland, which is called Luo Xing Bay locally, and the village in the bay is called Luo Xing Fort.
There is Zhuge Liang Temple at the north end of Wuzhangyuan. It was founded in the early Yuan Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the walls on both sides of the Xian Hall in the temple, there are paintings of stories of the Three Kingdoms, such as Ancient City Meeting, Empty City Strategy, Three Wars with Lu Bu, etc. There are 40 pieces of bluestone inlaid under the mural. Yue Fei's handwriting of "Execution Model" is engraved on the stone with vigorous and powerful handwriting. In front of the stone, there is a stone inscription by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, praising Yue Fei: "pure and uninflected, his writing is like his person". (One said it was Xiangyang Longzhong, another said it was Nanyang. It’s hard to say?)
The Story of Zhuge Liang
Eat Melons and Leave Seeds
Zhuge Liang was not only able to grow good Crops, and also has a good skill in growing watermelons. There used to be such a rule in Xiangyang area: when you enter the watermelon garden, you can eat enough melons, but you cannot take away the melon seeds. It is said that this "rule" was also invited by Ge Liang to stay.
The watermelon grown by Zhuge Liang is large, sweet, and sour without tail. Everyone who comes to Longzhong as a guest or passes by must go to the melon garden to feast their mouths. The old farmers around came to learn from him the experience of growing melons. He told them without reservation that the melons should be planted on sandy soil and covered with sesame cakes or sesame oil. Many people came to ask him for watermelon seeds. Because they had not paid attention to saving the seeds before, many people had to leave disappointed. The next year, the watermelon garden opened again, and he put a sign on the ground that read: "Eat the melon tubes and keep the seeds."
Zhuge Liang washed the melon seeds, dried them, and then Distributed to nearby melon farmers. Today, watermelons from Jiajiahu, Changfengzhou and Xiaofanzhou on the sandy land on both sides of the Han River are still famous for their large size, thin skin and sweet taste. In some places, the old rule of "eating melons and leaving seeds" is still followed.
The divine plan saved future generations
The truth of this matter cannot be verified. Judging from the records, it is still possible.
According to legend, Zhuge Liang said to his descendants before he died: "After I die, one of you will encounter a serious disaster. At that time, you will demolish the house and there will be a person inside the wall." Paper bag, there is a remedy."
After Zhuge Liang died, Sima O conquered the world and became emperor. He learned that one of the generals in the imperial court was a descendant of Zhuge Liang, so he wanted to punish him. One day, Sima O found an excuse and sentenced the general to death.
Later, Huang Chengyan's son-in-law riding a dragon was Zhuge Liang, the future prime minister of Shu who had the two characters "ming" and "liang" in his name. When she got married, Huang Yueying gave Zhuge Liang a goose feather fan as a gift. Kong Ming loved the goose feather fan like a pearl in his palm and was inseparable. In doing so, he not only expresses the sincere and undying love between their husband and wife, but more importantly, he skillfully uses Shan Shang's strategy. So no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, I always keep my fan in hand.
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Xiangyang observation envoy Zhao Hongen wrote in "Zhuge Thatched Cottage Poems": "The fan shakes the three-pointed cauldron of the moon, and the eight formations of dark and gloomy stones form a picture." This is enough to prove that Zhuge Liang is holding a goose feather in his hand. The function of the fan and the reason why he never leaves his hand.
