But some people say that Zhuge Liang should have been to Jiangdong, because they also advised Zhuge Liang to go. These are also recorded in history. Telling that Zhuge Liang was recommended to Sun Quan. But in fact, he refused to stay there, and someone asked him why. He said. Although Sun Quan is excellent, I don't think he can trust me completely, so he won't stay there. But it can't be said that he has been to Nanjing, because he happened before this incident.
Another time was Sun Quan, who was originally stationed in Jingkou. Later, someone suggested that he go to Nanjing. Only then did he enter Nanjing. And even if he did, it would be Battle of Red Cliffs in a few years. Because after the end of Battle of Red Cliffs, he was sent to the south of the Yangtze River to collect taxes, and all this is recorded. If he had been to Nanjing, he would have written it down. Unless he went secretly. However, there is one more thing that may make him go to Nanjing. Three minutes after the red cliff in Jingzhou, there is a man who wants to go to Liu Bei, but it is not a good thing. Instead, it gave him a difficult problem because he and the man were separated by Sun Quan. If we want to accept him, it is tantamount to opposing Sun Quan and undermining their alliance.
So Liu Bei should not accept him, but he is worried that Sun Quan will doubt him. So he wanted to find someone to explain it to Sun Quan. Of course, this man is the one that Sun Quan will trust, so Zhuge Liang should be sent to find Sun Quan. That's why Zhuge Liang said such a compliment. Another possibility is that Sun Quan took the initiative to show Zhuge Liang the Nanjing he was building. So such things are not recorded.
