The next day, Zhuge Jun came back, and Zhuge Liang told him to pay: I owe Liu Huangshu three attentions, and I can't leave. You can farm here, don't get a barren land. When I succeed, I will retire. Later generations have a poem: Think backwards before you rise, but remember when you succeed. Only after being urged by the late Lord did the stars fall in the autumn wind.

The next day, Zhuge Liang returned to the thatched cottage and told his guests, "I accepted Liu Huangshu's kindness to visit the thatched cottage, and I'm going out. You can farm here, don't waste the land. When I restore the Han Dynasty, I will definitely come back here to retire. "

Later, people lamented in a poem: Zhuge Liang made preparations for his future before he became an official, and then he returned to Longzhong after his career. But after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang was also involved, and finally died in Wuzhangyuan.

Background:

The yellow turban insurrectionary uprising at the end of Han Dynasty caused great chaos in the world. Cao Cao sat in the imperial court, and Sun Quan recruited troops in Soochow. Liu Bei, the imperial clan of the Han Dynasty, heard from Xu Shu and Si Mahui that Zhuge Liang was very knowledgeable and talented, so he took gifts with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Longzhong, Dengxian County, Nanyang County, and asked Zhuge Liang to come out to assist him. It happened that Zhuge Liang went out that day, and Liu Bei had to go home disappointed.

Soon, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei braved the snowstorm and invited them for the second time. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang went out for a walk again. Zhang Fei doesn't want to come again. Seeing that Zhuge Liang was not at home, he urged him to go back. Liu Bei had to leave a letter expressing his admiration for Zhuge Liang and asking him to come out of the mountain to help him save the country's crisis.

After a while, after eating vegetarian food for three days, Liu Bei was ready to invite Zhuge Liang again. Guan Yu said that Zhuge Liang may exist in name only, but he may not have real talent and learning, so there is no need to go. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, advocated that he should make a phone call alone and tie it up with a rope when he didn't come.

Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei and invited Zhuge Liang for the third time. When they arrived at Zhuge Liang's home, it was already noon and Zhuge Liang was sleeping. Liu Bei dare not disturb him. He stood until Zhuge Liang woke up and sat down to talk to each other.
