During the Three Kingdoms period, China was in troubled times. Liu Bei of Shu Han went south to Jingzhou and was stopped by Sun Quan. So Liu Bei decided to take Kong Ming to Zhuge Liang.
At that time, Zhuge Liang had lived in seclusion in the thatched cottage in Nanyang. He became an important figure in Hanzhong because he was deeply admired by Wudou Midao people and took advantage of the convenience of reconnaissance here.
Liu Bei and Kong Ming highly praised Zhuge Liang's talent and wisdom, so they successfully persuaded him to join them after three visits.
to see somebody for the first time
When I first met Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was very polite and dared not force Zhuge Liang to work for himself. Although Zhuge Liang was deeply attracted by Liu Bei, he obviously refused Liu Bei's invitation.
In the face of Liu Bei's request, Zhuge Liang put forward the principle of "always ready to serve the public and welcome guests at any time", hoping that Liu Bei could go back first and maintain his basic literacy and respect so as to facilitate future coexistence and cooperation.
Second visit
On his second visit, Liu Bei invited Zhao Yun to introduce him, on the grounds that Zhuge Liang had not accumulated military power and needed backing from the mountain. Zhao Yun thought that since Cao Cao was expelled from Liangzhou, Zhuge Liang, as a general, would inevitably feel isolated.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang's fame has spread all over Nanyang, which can be understood as the aspiration of the people. It is not appropriate to keep a distance for a long time.
The third visit
The third time was in Feng Chu Ridge. Liu Bei expressed his concern and love for Zhuge Liang. He said that no matter where he is, he will never forget Zhuge Liang, hoping that he can serve himself. At the same time, he also gave Zhuge Aliang a high evaluation, and tied it with Lu Ban, Sean and Su Wu.
At this point, Zhuge Liang was finally moved by Liu Bei and agreed to his request.
Enlightenment from three visits to Maolu
The story of three visits to Mao Lu tells us that a person's talent cannot be sealed. Zhuge Liang was not valued by others at that time, but he was a genius after all. Finally, his talent was fully brought into play, and he became a very famous and admirable figure in the world.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang's mentality is also worth learning. He was not blinded by Liu Bei's blind pursuit, but kept his basic principles and bottom line and maintained a peaceful and pragmatic attitude.
When we face a problem, we should also consider it carefully, maintain independence and adhere to principles.
