话说三国时期，赤壁之战后，曹操败退北归，孙刘联军取得了巨大的胜利。然而，刘备却面临着新的困境：荆州失守，无处安身立命。诸葛亮深知刘备的才能和抱负，却苦于找不到合适的用武之地。他一边安抚刘备的情绪，一边四处寻找机会，为刘备寻找可以立足和发展的地方。最终，在诸葛亮的谋划下，刘备获得了益州，这块土地成为了刘备施展抱负的理想之地，也最终成就了他的霸业。
During the Three Kingdoms period, after the Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao retreated north, while the Sun-Liu alliance achieved a great victory. However, Liu Bei faced new difficulties: Jingzhou was lost, and he had nowhere to settle. Zhuge Liang knew Liu Bei's talent and ambition but struggled to find a suitable place for him to use his abilities. He comforted Liu Bei while searching for opportunities, seeking a place for Liu Bei to establish himself and prosper. Finally, through Zhuge Liang's planning, Liu Bei obtained Yizhou, which became the ideal place for Liu Bei to fulfill his ambitions and ultimately achieve his great cause.
