distinction, heard of Zhuge Liang's great wisdom and came three times to his home, requesting that
he become his military advisor

of his plan for setting up a kingdom in the west and allying with the state of East Wu at the same

became a major turning point for Liu Bei At that time, Zhuge Liang was 26 and Liu Bei was 47 years
old Together they later established the Shu Han kingdom in the province of Sichuan

natural timing for that terrain and the disposition and the power of
both sides at that terrain If a battle was fought, understanding the
way to advance and withdraw from that terrain, determining what
are the resources of both sides at that time

in a four-wheeled carriage

The essence that made Zhuge Liang the consummate strategist can be
found
in his quote on the five skills and four desires
The five skills are skill in knowing the disposition and power of enemies,
skill in knowing the ways to advance and withdraw, skill in knowing how
empty
or how full countries are, skill in knowing nature's timing and human
affairs,
and skill in knowing the features of terrain
The four desires are desire for the extraordinary and unexpected in
strategy,
desire for thoroughness in security, desire for calm among the masses,
and
desire for unity of hearts and minds

Those who want to be great strategists should heed to the meanings

1) “Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those
who are skilled at winning do not become afraid. Thus the wise
win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.”
2) “Nothing is harder to see into than people's nature The sage
looks at subtle phenomena and listens to small voices This
harmonizes the outside with the inside and the inside with the
outside ”
3) “To overcome the intelligent by folly is contrary to the natural
order of things; to overcome the foolish by intelligence is in
accord with the natural order. To overcome the intelligent by
intelligence, however, is a matter of opportunity.”
4) “An enlightened ruler does not worry about people not knowing
him; he worries about not knowing people ”

10. To overcome the intelligent by folly is contrary to the natural order of
things; to overcome the foolish by intelligence is in accord with the natural
order To overcome the intelligent by intelligence, however, is a matter of
opportunity There are three avenues of opportunity events, trends, and
conditions When opportunities occur through events but you are unable to
respond, you are not smart When opportunities become active through a
trend and yet you cannot make plans, you are not wise When
opportunities emerge through conditions but you cannot act on them, you
are not bold Those skilled in generalship always achieve their victories by
taking advantage of opportunities
CENTER

11. an enlightened ruler does not worry about people not knowing him; he
worries about not knowing people He worries not about outsiders not
knowing insiders, but about insiders not knowing outsiders He worries not
about subordinates not knowing superiors, but about superiors not
knowing subordinates He worries not about the lower classes not knowing
the upper classes, but about the upper classes not knowing the lower
classes
Zhuge Liang, circa 200 AD, The Way of the General

12. Opportunistic relationship can hardly be kept
constant The acquaintance of honorable people,
even at a distance, does not add flowers in times
of warmth and does not change its leaves in
times of cold it continues unfading through the
four seasons, becoming increasingly stable as it
passes through ease and danger
