Is it true that three visits to the thatched cottage were made in Three Kingdoms?

False, according to official historical records: Zhuge Liang went to find Liu Bei himself. He should have asked Mao Sui to recommend himself three times before Liu Bei accepted him. In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong insisted that Liu Bei was the orthodox man of the Han Dynasty, so he deliberately beautified Zhuge Liang and became a wise man. The people sympathized with Zhuge Liang and used the empty city plan to scare away the living Sima and placed them on Zhuge Liang. After all, novels are novels, and official history is real. The real situation is this: Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao after his defeat in Xuzhou. Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei was not a man in the pond and planned to kill him. Liu Bei fled Jingzhou to join his relative Liu Biao. Liu, Guan, and Zhang were both military generals, and their fighting ability was not weak, but in terms of intelligence, they were inferior civil servants like Sun Qian and Mi Zhu, so they wanted to find a counselor. At this time, Shan Fu and Xu Shu helped burn Xiahou Dun away with three fires. Later, Li Dian was forced by Cao Cao to kidnap his mother and left Liu Bei for Cao Ying. Before leaving, Xu Shu went to Zhuge Liang and asked him to defect to Liu Bei. The first time Zhuge Liang went to see Liu Bei, he was despised by Guan Yu and left angrily. The second time Zhuge Liang met Liu Bei, he was made a small counselor and left in shame. The third time was because Cai Mao wanted to kill Liu Bei. Liu Bei had nowhere to go and Sun Qian had no plan. Only then did he remember that Zhuge Liang had summoned him. Zhuge Liang only became Liu Bei's deputy military advisor at this time, and his main task was to transport grain and grass and be responsible for logistics. There are three reasons why Zhuge Liang defected to Liu Bei: Zhuge Liang's father-in-law Huang Chengyan was Liu Biao's brother-in-law. Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law is Jin Liang. These are all nepotistic relationships. Liu Bei is Liu Bei's younger brother. They are all relatives. Therefore, as a relative of the Jin family (the second largest gentry force in Jingzhou), Zhuge Liang's words were somewhat approved by Liu Biao, so With the help of Zhuge Liang's relatives, Liu Qi went to Jiangxia, so that Liu Guan and Zhang had a small camp, and then the subsequent seizure of power in Jingzhou, the Battle of Chibi, and three parts of the world. If Cai Mao hadn't forced Liu Zong to surrender to Cao Cao early, Zhuge Liang would have definitely taken Jingzhou first. So in essence, Zhuge Liang belongs to the Jingzhou Group, Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Mi, and Sunji belong to the Xuzhou Group, and the one that later conquered Sichuan was the Bashu Group. The three major groups worked on their own and refused to obey anyone. The most arrogant thing was that Guan Yu didn't listen to Zhuge Liang at all. But he didn't listen to Pang Tong's words, which is strange, because the military advisor at that time was not Zhuge Liang but Pang Tong. Therefore, during the Battle of Chibi, Pang Tong came up with all the plans for Huo Gong and Cao Cao to defeat Huarong Road. Kong Ming was only responsible for the transportation of grain and grass because Liu Bei did not trust Zhuge Liang at all. It was not until Pang Tong died in Luofengpo that Kong Ming began to work as a military advisor. Until his death, Liu Bei did not trust Zhuge Liang. As for Baidi City Tuogu, he basically asked Zhao Yun to monitor Zhuge Liang. Needless to say. Zhuge Liang never used Zhao Yun or Ma Chao after the Northern Expedition. He only let Zhao Yun go when he was old and desperately recommended him. The so-called Five Tiger Generals Ma Chao and Zhao Yun are not used at all, and Zhao Yun, a general who is so powerful and good at killing within three moves on the battlefield, actually only serves as the Chengdu garrison and the leader of the Forbidden Army, responsible for protecting Liu Chan and the safety of the capital. This shows Zhuge Liang's suspicion and narrow-mindedness. Zhuge Liang's only purpose of desperately pursuing the Northern Expedition was to feed the war with war and consume the strength of the Wei State. If there was no war, the Wei State would be able to capture Bashu in one fell swoop in just 5 years with sufficient food and grass. Therefore, they attacked desperately, which also consumed the strength of the already weak Bashu Group, so in the end Liu Chan had to surrender. Because there are no strategic materials anymore.
