司馬徽再薦名士,劉玄德三顧草廬 - Sima Hui Recommends A Scholar To Liu Bei; Liu Bei Pays Three Visits To The Sleeping Dragon Ridge

7 司馬徽再... :
時雲長在側曰:「某聞管仲、樂毅,乃春秋戰國名人,功蓋寰宇。孔明自比此二人,毋乃太過?」徽笑曰:「以吾觀之,不當比此二人。我欲另以二人比之。」雲長問那二人。徽曰:「可比興周八百年之姜子牙,旺漢四百年之張子房也。」眾皆愕然。徽下階相辭欲行。玄德留之不住。徽出門仰天大笑曰:「臥龍雖得其主,不得其時,惜哉!」言罷,飄然而去。玄德嘆曰:「真隱居賢士也!」次日,玄德同關、張并從人等來隆中,遙望山畔數人,荷鋤耕於田間,而作歌曰:
Sima Hui Recommends A...:
Now Guan Yu was there. When he heard Zhuge Liang so highly praised, he said, "Guan Zhong and Yue Yi are the two most famous leaders mentioned in the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Periods. They well overtopped the rest of humankind. Is it not a little too much to say that Zhuge Liang compares with these two?"
"In my opinion he should not be compared with these two, but rather with two others," said Water Mirror.
"Who are these two?" asked Guan Yu.
"One of them is Lu Wang, who laid the foundations of the Zhou Dynasty so firmly that it lasted eight hundred years; and the other Zhang Liang, who made the Han glorious for four centuries."
Before the surprise called forth by this startling statement had subsided, Water Mirror walked down the steps and took his leave. Liu Bei would have kept him if he could, but he was obdurate.
As he stalked proudly away, he threw up his head and said, "Though Sleeping Dragon has found his lord, he has not been born at the right time. It is a pity!"
"What a wise hermit!" was Liu Bei's comment.
Soon after the three brothers set out to find the abode of the wise man. When they drew near the Sleeping Dragon Ridge, they saw a number of peasants in a field hoeing up the weeds, and as they worked they sang:
蒼天如圓蓋,陸地似棋局。世人黑白分,往來爭榮辱。榮者自安安,辱者定碌碌。南陽有隱居,高眠臥不足。
"The earth is a checkered board,
And the sky hangs over all,
Under it humans are contending,
Some rise, but a many fall.
For those who succeed this is well,
But for those who go under rough.
There's a dozing dragon hard by,
But his sleep is not deep enough."

定三分隆中決策,戰長江孫氏報讎 - Zhuge Liang Plans For The Three Kingdoms; Sun Quan Attacks Xiakou To Take Revenges

卻說玄德訪孔明兩次不遇,欲再往訪之。關公曰:「兄長兩次親往拜謁,其禮太過矣。想諸葛亮有虛名而無實學,故避而不敢見。兄何惑於斯人之甚也?」玄德曰:「不然。昔齊桓公欲見東郭野人,五反而方得一面。況吾欲見大賢耶?」張飛曰:「哥哥差矣。量此村夫,何足為大賢?今番不須哥哥去;他如不來,我只用一條麻繩縛將來!」玄德叱曰:「汝皆不聞周文王謁姜子牙之事乎?文王且如此敬賢,汝何太無禮!今番汝休去,我自與雲長去。」飛曰:「既兩位哥哥都去,小弟如何落後?」玄德曰:「汝若同往,不可失禮。」
Zhuge Liang Plans For...:
Nothing discouraged by two unsuccessful visits to the retreat of the sage whose advice he sought to secure, Liu Bei made preparations for a third visit.
His brothers disapproved, and Guan Yu said, "Brother, you have sought him twice. Surely this is showing even too much deference. I do not believe in this fame of his for learning. He is avoiding you and dare not submit to the test. Why so obstinately hold this idea?"
"You are wrong, my brother. In the Spring and Autumn Period Prince Huan of Qi paid five visits to the Eastern Suburb before he got to see Guan Zhong. And my desire to see Zhuge Liang is even greater than his."
"I think you are mistaken," said Zhang Fei. "How can this villager be such a marvel of wisdom? You should not go again and, if he will not come, I will bring him with a hempen rope."
"Have you forgotten the great King Wen's visit to Lu Wang, the old man of the River Wei? If King Wen could show such deference to a wise man, where am I too deferential? If you will not go, your brother and I will go without you," said Liu Bei.
