Hi! Hello everyone! I'm a bug in the world, follow me and continue to update more reviews about literary stories!
However, just when everyone thought that every moment was Zhuge Liang's highlight moment, the insect world found that Zhuge Liang experienced the first failure in his life soon after following Liu Bei.
Zhuge Liang's first failure in his life was to go to Soochow with Lu Su.
Some people may think that Zhuge Liang followed Lu Su to Soochow, and there was a wonderful scene of Zhuge Liang's tongue fighting against Confucianism, and there were many wonderful stories that could reflect Zhuge Liang's wisdom, how can it be said that it was the first failure in Zhuge Liang's life?
In fact, this has to start with Lu Su's filial piety.
Everyone knows that because Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Eastern Wu had a feud at the beginning, Sun Quan raised troops to attack Huang Zu, which in turn caused a feud between Jingzhou and Eastern Wu. Therefore, when Liu Biao died, as a representative of Eastern Wu, Lu Su had no reason to go to mourn filial piety.
So, when Lu Su appeared in Jingzhou in the name of hanging filial piety, the smart Zhuge Liang knew that this was Lu Su coming to find out the strength of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, so Zhuge Liang planned and followed Lu Su to Eastern Wu.
At first glance, it seems that everything is within Zhuge Liang's calculations, but after careful analysis of the next story, it is not difficult for us to find that it is not Zhuge Liang who calculates Lu Su, but Lu Su who calculates Zhuge Liang.
First of all, why did Lu Su come to mourn filial piety?
On the surface, Lu Su was to find out about Liu Bei and Cao Cao's situation, but judging from later stories, the main purpose of Lu Su's trip was to make Sun Quan firm in his determination to fight Cao Cao.
Due to the fear of Cao Cao's army, there were many main peace factions or surrender factions within Eastern Wu, and even Sun Quan himself was a little hesitant.
Therefore, Lu Su urgently needs a strong person to support his main battle decision, and Zhuge Liang is the best candidate.
Secondly, Lu Su showed weakness in front of Zhuge Liang this time, precisely because he wanted Zhuge Liang to stimulate Sun Quan.
When Zhuge Liang followed Lu Su to Eastern Wu, Lu Su chanted in front of Zhuge Liang almost all the time, don't say that Cao's army is strong, don't say that Cao's army is strong. However, it is not Zhuge Liang who knows Sun Quan best, but Lu Su.
Therefore, when Zhuge Liang deliberately stimulated Sun Quan in front of Sun Quan, Sun Quan was really angry, and at this time, Lu Su came forward to play a round, and his words can fully prove that Zhuge Liang is just a chess piece in Lu Su's hands.
That is to say, on the surface, it is Zhuge Liang who is popular in Eastern Wu and has unlimited scenery, but in fact, every step of Zhuge Liang is within Lu Su's calculations, and he is helping Lu Su complete his own ideas.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang, who has always regarded himself as a smart person, is really a pity for his name.
Before Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, his reputation was very loud, and many people compared him to Guan Zhong, Le Yi, and even Sima Hui said that if Zhuge Liang was able, he would be able to stabilize the world.
Looking at it now, Zhuge Liang is indeed very smart and very wise, but in front of Lu Su, he is really a small thing.
Lu Su's cleverness lies in the fact that he doesn't show his face at all when he uses others, and even Zhuge Liang himself is kept in the dark.
Of course, this does not rule out the factor of mutual use, but before using each other, Lu Su had already taken the lead in using Zhuge Liang.
You say, does this make people feel that Zhuge Liang's resounding names are a bit in vain?
