Features: Why did Zhuge Liang choose Liu Bei in Jingzhou? In Zhuge Liang's eyes, the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, was not a "puppet." As for whether Liu Biao saw this "farmer in Nanyang" named Zhuge Liang, although historical records do not leave any records, from a side perspective, it can provide a negative answer to this question. The "Shuoshuo Xinyu · Speech" quoted by Liu Xiao in the annotation of the "Biography of Sima Hui" says: "(Sima) Hui's courtesy name was Decao, a native of Yangdi in Yingchuan. There was a person who could discern human nature and lived in Jingzhou. Knowing that Liu Biao was dull and would harm good people, he did not talk about the people of the time and kept his mouth shut."
