第四点，就是刘备有帝王之福。刘备是个有福气的人，在三国的三巨头当中，他和孙权两个都算有福气的。福气最大的是孙权，十八岁的时候就接手了一片现成的基业，他的父亲孙坚、他的哥哥孙策已经帮他把天下打下来了，留下一批忠心耿耿的辅佐他的人，张昭、周瑜啊都是非常忠诚的，而且在整个的群雄逐鹿的过程中孙权基本上是用不着亲临第一线的，自然有人帮他打，福气最好。刘备他也算个有福气的，为什么说他有福气呢？他刚一出山就得到了关羽和张飞，我们知道不管古代的战争还是现代的企业，最重要的就是人才，而人才难得啊，人才为什么难得呢？因为一个最好的人才，我们要求他既忠诚又能干，而老板们面临的问题是什么呢？忠诚的不能干，能干的不忠诚，很难找到又忠诚又能干的，这个刘备刚一出道就来俩，关羽和张飞真是又忠诚又能干，你说是不是福气？
The fourth point is that Liu Bei has the blessing of an emperor. Liu Bei is a blessed person. Among the three giants of the Three Kingdoms, he and Sun Quan are both blessed. Sun Quan was the most blessed. At the age of 18, Sun Quan took over a ready-made foundation. His father, Sun Jian, and his brother, Sun Ce, had helped him conquer the world, leaving behind a loyal group of people to assist him. Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were both very loyal, and Sun Quan basically did not need to be present at the front line in the whole process of competing for heroes. Naturally, someone helped him fight, and his luck was the best. Liu Bei is also considered lucky. Why do you say he is lucky? As soon as he emerged from the mountains, he obtained Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. We know that whether in ancient wars or modern enterprises, the most important thing is talent, and talent is rare. Why is talent rare? “Because of the best talent, we require him to be both loyal and capable, and what are the issues facing bosses?”? Loyal people cannot be loyal, capable people are not loyal, and it is difficult to find loyal and capable people. This Liu Bei has just started his career, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are really loyal and capable. Do you think they are lucky?
但是他的命运又很坎坷，他的道路又很曲折，他奋斗了那么多年还是没有根据地，还是没有自己的队伍，还是成不了气候，还是要依附他人。据说有一次他和刘表两个人喝酒，然后中途他上了一趟厕所，回来以后就流泪，刘表说你为什么刘泪啊？刘备说，刚才我上厕所的时候低头看了一下，发现我的两条大腿都长出肥肉来了，我可是长期骑马打仗的人啊，我的腿上只能有肌肉，不能有赘肉，我就想起我现在这么大一把年纪了还一事无成，所以悲从心来。确实是，到建安十二年刘备四十六岁了，你要知道古人跟我们现在不一样啊，我们现在46岁那叫正当年，古人三十六岁就要称老夫了，刘备觉得自己真是前途光明我看不见，道路曲折我走不完啊。
However, his fate is very bumpy, and his path is very tortuous. After struggling for so many years, he still has no base area, still does not have his own team, still cannot become a climate, and still needs to rely on others. It is said that once he and Liu Biao were drinking together, and then he went to the bathroom halfway. After returning, he cried. Liu Biao said why did you cry? Liu Bei said, “Just now, when I was going to the bathroom, I looked down and noticed that both of my thighs had grown fat. I am a long-term horseman who has been fighting. My legs can only have muscles, not fat. I just remembered that I am so old and have achieved nothing, so I feel sad from my heart.”. Indeed, in the 12th year of Jian’an, Liu Bei was 46 years old. You should know that the ancients were different from us now. We are now 46 years old, which is called Zhengnian. The ancients will be called Laofu at the age of 36. Liu Bei feels that he has a bright future. I cannot see it, and I cannot walk through the twists and turns of the road.
我们知道，刘备他之所以奋斗了这么长时间都没有能够成了气候，是两个原因。第一我们讲，他有英雄之志、有英雄之气、有英雄之魂、有英雄之义，但缺什么呢——英雄之地，就是说他缺一个用武之地，这是他缺的第一条。第二，他有帝王之分、有帝王之志、有帝王之术、有帝王之福，他为什么没有成帝王呢——他缺一条成功之路。他这么多年都没有找到自己发展的正确的政治路线，而这两样东西这个时候都开始有了，因为诸葛亮来了，是诸葛亮让他得到了用武之地，是诸葛亮为他指出了成功之路，所以诸葛亮来到刘备的身边真是刘备的大幸，是曹操的大不幸。当然了，我们不可以夸大个人的作用，后来局势的发展也是多方面原因造成的，不是诸葛亮一个人造成的，但是不可否认在那个时代，这样的一个人物的出现确实有不可估量的意义。
We know that there are two reasons why Liu Bei has struggled for such a long time and failed to become a climate. First of all, we say that he has a heroic spirit, a heroic spirit, a heroic soul, and a heroic righteousness, but what is lacking? The land of heroes means that he lacks a place for use, which is the first thing he lacks. Secondly, he has the distinction of emperor, the ambition of emperor, the skill of emperor, and the blessing of emperor. Why didn’t he become an emperor? He lacks a path to success. “He hasn’t found a correct political path for his own development for so many years, and both of these things are beginning to come into existence at this time. Because Zhuge Liang came, it was Zhuge Liang who gave him a place to use, and it was Zhuge Liang who pointed out the path to success for him. Therefore, Zhuge Liang’s presence with Liu Bei was indeed a great blessing for Liu Bei, and a great misfortune for Cao Cao.”. Of course, we cannot overstate the role of individuals. The subsequent development of the situation was also caused by various reasons, not by Zhuge Liang alone. However, it is undeniable that in that era, the emergence of such a character did have immeasurable significance.
