So, Liu Bei, along with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, his two brothers, went to visit Zhuge Liang. The first time, Zhuge Liang's servant③ said he went out to play and might not come back for more than ten days. Zhang Fei didn't want to wait, so they went back.
In winter, they went again. But they only met Zhuge Liang's younger brother because Zhuge Liang went out to play again.
In spring, Liu Bei decided to visit Zhuge Liang for the third time. Zhang Fei even wanted to tie④ Zhuge Liang up and bring him back, but Liu Bei told him to be nice. When they got there, Zhuge Liang was having a rest. Liu Bei waited outside quietly, while Zhang Fei was very angry and wanted to set the house on fire.

Finally, Zhuge Liang woke up. Liu Bei asked him for advice on how to make his power strong. Zhuge Liang told him to take Xichuan first and then he will grow strong. At first, Zhuge Liang didn't want to help. But Liu Bei said the people would be in trouble without his help. After seeing Liu Bei's kindness, Zhuge Liang said yes. After that, as a military advisor⑤ , Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei beat⑥ Cao Cao in the first fight.
