The Formation of the alliance
Translators' note: In ancient China, during the Three Kingdoms Period, there were three major powers: Wei, Shu, and Wu. Liu Bei, the king of Shu, wanted to unite the three kingdoms to build a strong and unified country. But his ambitions were often thwarted by Sun Quan, king of Wu.
Sun Quan's adviser Zhou Yu suggested that they form an alliance with Liu Bei to defeat Wei. In order to establish this alliance, Zhou Yu handpicked Zhuge Liang, a highly respected scholar and strategist, to go to Liu Bei's camp.
After much persuasion and consideration, Zhuge Liang agreed to join Liu Bei's team. The two men quickly formed a deep bond, and Zhuge Liang became Liu Bei's most trusted advisor and strategist.

Liu Bei said, \"I am not equal to the kings of old, but I am not ignorant of the way. I am not a match for the highest officials of the land, but I am not a fool. Yet my achievements are still small and my ambition is great.\"
\"For years I've been groping my way, until I met you, my dear Kongming (Zhuge Liang's courtesy name). You came to me like an angel from on high, and I knew at once that you were the one who could help me realize my dream.\"
\"You've served me loyally and advised me wisely. You've helped me through the most difficult times and turned disaster into victory. Together we've fought side by side, sharing our joys and sorrows, our glory and shame.\"
\"Today, as we part, I feel as if a part of me is gone. I can never forget the years we've spent together, nor the wisdom and inspiration you've given me.\"
\"I only pray that we'll meet again someday, and that we'll continue to work together to make our dreams come true.\"
Zhuge Liang's pledge to his master
Translators' note: This text can be found in the historical biographies of Zhuge Liang, written by Chen Shou in the third century.
Zhuge Liang said, \"I am not gifted with extraordinary talents, but I have studied the writings of the sages and the strategies of the ancient generals. I have pondered over them day and night, and I have tried to put them into practice.\"
\"When I met you, my lord, I saw in you a true king, a righteous leader who could restore peace and order to our shattered land. I knew then that I had to serve you, no matter what the cost.\"
\"For years I've given you my heart and soul, my energy and my intelligence. I've followed you through thick and thin, and I've always been faithful to you.\"
\"Today, as we part, I have no regrets. I've done all that I could do, and I've learned all that I could learn. I know that you'll continue to lead our people to a bright future, and I'll always be proud to call you my lord.\"
\"I only pray that you'll remember me, and that you'll keep me in your heart. And if you ever need me again, just send word, and I'll come to you without delay.\"

The Formation of the Alliance
During the tumultuous Three Kingdoms Period in ancient China, Liu Bei, the king of Shu, attempted to unite the three kingdoms to create a strong and unified nation. Sun Quan, king of Wu, was often a roadblock to Liu Bei's ambitions.
However, after Zhou Yu, Sun Quan's advisor, suggested forming an alliance with Liu Bei and personally selecting Zhuge Liang, a well-respected scholar and strategist, to go to Liu Bei's camp, the alliance was formed.
Zhuge Liang quickly became Liu Bei's most trusted advisor and strategist, cementing the alliance between Shu and Wu.
Liu Bei's Tribute to Zhuge Liang
In \"The Romance of Three Kingdoms,\" a historical novel written by Luo Guanzhong in the 14th century, Liu Bei praised Zhuge Liang for his loyalty and wisdom.
Liu Bei said, \"I may not be of the same caliber as the kings of old, but I am not ignorant of the way. I may not be a match for the highest officials of the land, but I am not a fool. However, my achievements are still small, and my ambitions are great.\"
\"For years, I wandered and groped my way until I met you, my Kongming (Zhuge Liang's courtesy name). You came to me like an angel from heaven, and I knew that you were the one who could help me achieve my dreams.\"
\"You served me with loyalty and advised me with wisdom. You helped me through the most difficult times and turned disaster into victory. Together we fought side by side, sharing our joys and sorrows, our glory and shame.\"
\"As we part today, I feel as though a part of me has left. I will never forget the years that we shared, nor will I forget the wisdom and inspiration that you gave to me.\"
\"I pray only that we will meet again someday and that we will continue to work together to make our dreams come true.\"
Zhuge Liang's Pledge to His Master

Zhuge Liang said, \"I may not be gifted with extraordinary talents, but I have devoted my time to studying the writings of the sages and the strategies of ancient generals. I contemplated them day and night, and I have attempted to put them into practice.\"
\"When I met you, my lord, I found a true king and righteous leader who could restore peace and order to our present situation. I knew then that I had to serve you at any cost.\"
\"For years, I have given you my heart and soul, my energy, and my intelligence. I have been faithful to you through thick and thin, and I will continue to be devoted to you.\"
\"Today, as we part, I have no regrets. I have done what I could, and I have learned all that I could learn. I know that you will continue to lead our people to a bright future, and I will always be proud to call you my lord.\"
