Chapter 266 The Incarnation of Wisdom

Chapter 266 The Incarnation of Wisdom

The happy time of the afternoon passed quickly, and ancient people from all dynasties still had unfinished thoughts about Inception.

But no matter how obsessed with movies everyone is, they are still looking forward to the upcoming live broadcast in the evening.

Since Su Chen returned to school, he has completely returned to his original rhythm of life.

As for the electric cars to be sold tonight, he had already made all preparations before the live broadcast in the evening.

In order to benefit as many ancient people as possible, he specially prepared a large number of electric vehicles.

As soon as seven o'clock in the evening arrived, he started broadcasting on time and once again met with ancient people from various dynasties.

"Good evening everyone, I am the anchor Su Chen. Welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast."

Talking about the opening remarks of the live broadcast again made him feel very warm, and he vaguely remembered that it seemed like a long time since he last mentioned it.

Su Chen's response was still warm greetings from ancient people from all dynasties, overwhelmingly covering the entire sky.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang, who was receiving Liu Bei's visit in Longzhong, was somewhat nervous.

After all, the anchor will talk about him later, so it's impossible not to be nervous.

Zhuge Liang: Anchor, can you tell me the answer now?

Liu Bei on the side also became nervous, and was also concerned about the talented counselors in the world.

If the anchor could tell the truth frankly, he could try to win over him personally.

Su Chen admired Zhuge Liang very much, and he could be said to be synonymous with wisdom.

The reason why Zhuge Liang is loved by everyone is not only his intelligence, but the most important thing is Zhuge Liang's spirit of loyalty and loyalty.

"Before the anchor talks about the famous counselors during the Three Kingdoms period, it is necessary to talk about Zhuge Liang's life experience and let everyone understand why Zhuge Liang is deeply respected by people of all dynasties."

"In the fourth year of Guanghe, that is, 181 AD, Zhuge Liang was born in Langya."

"Zhuge Liang lost his father in his early years and lived with his uncle Zhuge Xuan."

"Zhuge Xuan went to Yuzhang to join Yuan Shu and served as the governor of Yuzhang. Zhuge Liang and his brothers also followed him."

"Later, Zhuge Xuan's official position was replaced by Zhu Hao, and Zhuge Xuan took Zhuge Liang and others to Jingzhou to defect to Liu Biao, the then governor of Jingzhou."

"While in Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang, together with Shi Guangyuan and Xu Yuanzhi from Yingchuan, and Meng Gongwei from Runan, traveled around to study."

"Zhuge Liang often hugged his knees and roared. He said that Shi Guangyuan, Xu Yuanzhi and Meng Gongwei could become governors and governors, and he could become people like Guan Zhong and Le Yi."

"When Zhuge Xuan died, Zhuge Liang was 18 years old. He came to Longzhong to farm for a living."

"Zhuge Liang paid great attention to communicating with local celebrities in Jingzhou. He often visited the home of local celebrity Pang De, and every time he saluted Pang De under the bed."

"Zhuge Liang also often visited the home of Huang Chengyan, who was as influential as Pang Degong, and married Huang Chengyan's daughter."

Huang Chengyan: I still have a sharp eye, and I can see at a glance that Zhuge Liang has a bright future.

In fact, he had heard of Zhuge Liang's fame a long time ago.

At that time, he was interested in getting to know this kind of young talent.

After meeting Zhuge Liang and having a conversation, it turned out that Zhuge Liang was indeed as talented as the rumors said.

It is precisely because of this that he married his daughter to Zhuge Liang.

After knowing Zhuge Liang's great achievements in the future, he understood how correct the decision he made was.

Although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that I watched before was a joke, and many of the plots were not realistic, the intelligence and wisdom shown by Zhuge Liang was real.

He has the most say on Zhuge Liang's talent and highly recognizes Zhuge Liang as his son-in-law.

He even believed that Zhuge Liang's military ability was still top-notch during the Three Kingdoms era.

After all, it can be seen from the plot of Zhuge Liang's use of troops against Cao Wei in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although it has been slightly adapted, the overall direction of fighting against Cao Wei is not wrong.

Facing the powerful Wei State whose comprehensive strength was several times his own, Zhuge Liang used offense as defense and took the initiative to launch a large-scale attack on Cao Wei.

And it is not easy to be able to advance and retreat freely, and fight back and forth.

With such a powerful son-in-law, what else could he be dissatisfied with.

"In the twelfth year of Jian'an, 207, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei met."

"However, there are two versions in historical records about the encounter between these two people."

"First, Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye. Sima Hui and Xu Shu respectively recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, believing that Zhuge Liang was a sleeping dragon and could help Liu Bei stabilize the world."

"So, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times before meeting Zhuge Liang."

"Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei analyzed the general trend of the world at that time and advised Liu Bei to capture Jingzhou first and then capture Yizhou to conquer the world."

"Another theory is that Zhuge Liang believed that Cao Cao had just settled Hebei, and the next place to attack must be Jingzhou."

"But Liu Biao, the governor of the state at the time, did not know much about military affairs, so Zhuge Liang went to Liu Bei first and wanted Liu Bei to guard Jingzhou."

"In the beginning, Liu Bei just held a banquet to receive Zhuge Liang and other guests with ordinary hospitality etiquette."

"After the banquet, Zhuge Liang stayed alone and did not leave. Only then did he have the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with Liu Bei and receive Liu Bei's courtesy."

"Later, Zhuge Liang offered advice to his friend Liu Qi to help him escape Xiangyang."

"After the death of Liu Biao, his second son Liu Cong came to the throne. When Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, Nacheng surrendered."

"Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei went south to avoid the chaos. At this time, Sun Quan was waiting with his troops at Chaisang."

"Zhuge Liang personally persuaded Sun Quan. He pointed out that if Cao Cao was allowed to occupy Jingzhou, Sun Quan would be unable to protect himself. Therefore, Sun Quan should form an alliance with Liu Bei to jointly control Cao Cao."

"Sun Quan agreed with Zhuge Liang's analysis and sent Zhou Yu and others with 30,000 naval troops to go back with Zhuge Liang to support Liu Bei."

"Later Liu Sun's army defeated Cao Cao in Chibi. The Battle of Chibi is a household name in our later generations."

"After that, Zhuge Liang was appointed as the military advisor Zhonglang General, in charge of the three counties of Lingling, Guiyang, and Changsha, and collected taxes from these three counties to serve as military supplies for Liu Bei."

Sun Yat-sen: Zhuge Liang was indeed one of the most outstanding politicians and military strategists in my country's feudal era.

It was rare in my country's feudal era that a politician from the feudal era was so enthusiastically praised and remembered by people of all ethnic groups during his lifetime and after his death.

He looked at Zhuge Liang's words, deeds, and achievements throughout his life, and they all reflected Zhuge Liang's excellent character.

These excellent qualities can be summarized as the exemplary spirit of cultivating one's moral character, being loyal to the country, accepting advice with an open mind, being honest and dedicated to the public, being strict with laws and disciplines, and being upright.

Of course, what attracted Zhuge Liang the most was Zhuge Liang's dedication to realizing his lofty ideal of national reunification, national prosperity and people's security, working hard and dying for the country and national interests.

These spirits have actually become part of the national spirit, which will forever be revealed to those who come after, such as himself, who was deeply affected.

During the melee of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang's ideals and beliefs in order to support the Han Dynasty and realize the unification of the world have always inspired him.

In order to end the warlords' melee and to achieve the unification of the entire China, he will also work hard for the revolutionary cause.

"No matter which one of the two stories about Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's encounter is true, the "Longzhong Dui" they talked about has been widely circulated and has now become a must-memorize chapter for future generations of students."

"After Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang met in Longzhong, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang for advice."

"Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, treacherous ministers are taking the emperor's orders under the guise, and the emperor has lost his power."

"I have not measured my own virtue and ability. I want to uphold justice and revive the world."

"But I didn't have enough wisdom and strategy, so I often failed, until today."

"But my ambition has not been extinguished. Sir, do you have any plans to help me?"

"Faced with Liu Bei's questions, Zhuge Liang stated to Liu Bei his strategy of dividing the world."

"Since Dong Zhuo came into power, heroes from all over the country have emerged, and countless of them have occupied multiple states and counties."

"Compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's reputation was very little at the beginning."

"However, this is the reason why Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao in the end and defeat the strong with the weak."

“It not only depends on the timing of the day, but also on people’s proper planning.”

"Now that Cao Cao has an army of millions, he is holding the emperor hostage to command the princes. This really cannot compete with him."

"Sun Quan has occupied Jiangdong for three generations. The terrain is difficult, the people have surrendered, and he has appointed talented people."

"You can only use Sun Quan as a foreign aid, but you can't recruit him."

"Jingzhou is close to the Han River and Mian River in the north, and supplies can be obtained all the way to the South China Sea."

"It is connected to Wu County and Kuaiji County to the east, and to Ba County and Shu County to the west."

"This is a place that everyone is fighting for, but its owner doesn't have the ability to hold it."

"Yizhou has a dangerous terrain, vast fertile land, and superior natural conditions. Gaozu relied on it to establish his empire."

"Liu Zhang is fatuous and cowardly, while Zhang Lu occupies Hanzhong in the north. The people are wealthy and have abundant products."

"Liu Zhang does not know how to cherish. Talented people long for a wise monarch."

"The general is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and has a high reputation. He is famous all over the world. He has collected heroes from all over the world and yearns for talented people. He is hungry and thirsty for them."

"If we can occupy the two states of Jing and Yi, defend the dangerous places, unite with Sun Quan externally, and reform politics internally."

"Once the situation in the world changes, send a general to lead Jingzhou's army directly towards the Central Plains."

"The general personally led Yizhou's army to attack from Qinchuan. Who among the common people would dare to welcome you, general, without carrying food in bamboo baskets and wine in pots?"

"If we can really do this, then the cause of hegemony will be successful, and the Han Dynasty will be revived."

"In "Longzhong Dui", Zhuge Liang brilliantly analyzed the development trend of the three-part world and put forward his own strategic propositions in detail."

"Reviving the Han Dynasty and establishing the Shu Han regime became the foundation of the later Shu Han regime."

Liu Bei: Wonderful! How wonderful! I have Kong Ming, just like a fish gets water, there is hope for helping the Han Dynasty!

Even though he had just listened to Mr. Zhuge's "Longzhong Dui", he still wasn't happy to hear the plan of dividing the world into three parts again.

He knew that the possibility of using his talents to help the Han Dynasty was slim, and he had to visit famous people all over the world.

It was for this reason that he came all the way to Longzhong to visit the thatched cottage and beg Mr. Zhuge to come out.

The three-part world strategy that Mr. Zhuge just told him was exactly the same as what the anchor said, which made him admire Mr. Zhuge.

Although judging from the plot performed in the TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the actual development situation is obviously different from that of Longzhong.

But this does not mean that Long Zhong's strategy is wrong. It can only mean that the development of things is not dependent on human will.

The reason why he values ​​Mr. Zhuge is not whether Longzhong's plan was realized in the end.

But through Long Zhong, he truly felt Mr. Zhuge's talent.

And what he was looking for was exactly this kind of counselor. With Mr. Zhuge's intelligence, he had great hope of helping the Han Dynasty.

Especially since the trajectory of history has changed, it is still unclear who will win.

"In the 211th year of Jian'an (), Yizhou Governor Liu Zhang sent Fa Zheng to ask Liu Bei to help attack Zhang Lu who occupied Hanzhong, while Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou."

"In 214, Zhuge Liang left Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou, and led Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to attack westward along the Yangtze River, conquering Badong, Brazil, Deyang and other places, and later joined Liu Bei near Chengdu."

"Zhuge Liang also assisted Liu Bei in occupying Yizhou and stationed in Chengdu. At this time, Zhuge Liang was named Military Advisor General."

"When Liu Bei went out, he often left Zhuge Liang behind to guard Chengdu."

"Because Liu Zhang was weak and lenient, the people of Shu were loose, so Zhuge Liang implemented strict laws to correct the customs as soon as he entered Shu."

"The then governor of Guangdu, Jiang Wan, often drank and got drunk. Liu Bei wanted to punish him, but Zhuge Liang dissuaded him on the grounds that Jiang Wan was a capable minister who could stabilize the country."

"In 221, after Liu Bei ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Zhuge Liang was named prime minister."

"In 222, Liu Bei wanted to attack the Soochow regime, but Zhuge Liang did not dissuade him."

"In 223, Liu Bei was seriously ill. He summoned Zhuge Liang in Baidi City to take care of his affairs. He said that if Liu Chan was unable to support him, Zhuge Liang could take his place."

"In May 223, the later master Liu Chan came to the throne, and Zhuge Liang was named the Marquis of Wuxiang and concurrently served as the shepherd of Yizhou."

"All major and minor affairs of the Shu Han regime were decided by Zhuge Liang. Chief Secretary Yang Yong advised Zhuge Liang not to handle all major and minor affairs personally."

"Zhuge Liang was very grateful to Yang Yong for reminding him. After Yang Yong died, Zhuge Liang cried for three days."

"In the same year, several counties in southern China rebelled. Zhuge Liang did not send troops to quell the rebellion because he had just experienced the funeral of his late emperor."

"Zhuge Liang also sent envoys to the Soochow regime to conclude marriages and enhance friendly relations between Shu and Wu."

Li Longji: In my opinion, Liu Bei's entrustment in Baidi City bluntly said that Liu Chan was not talented, but Zhuge Liang replaced him. This was not to win people's hearts, but it was indeed his intention.

Before Liu Bei died, he promised Zhuge Liang that he could replace Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang himself would be the emperor of Shu Han.

Many people will think that Liu Bei is trying to buy people's hearts so that Zhuge Liang can be favored by Tuogu and do his best to assist Liu Chan in the future.

But he didn't think so. Instead, he felt that Liu Bei did have the idea of ​​replacing Zhuge Liang.

He thinks so mainly for three reasons. First, the survival of the country is far more important than who is the emperor.

The failure of the Battle of Yiling resulted in almost the entire army of Liu Bei's expedition being wiped out. Many civil servants and generals were killed in the battle, and the vitality of the newly founded Shu Han was seriously damaged.

When Liu Bei was defeated and retreated to Baidi City, it was not that Soochow was unable to continue the pursuit.

But Lu Xun was worried that Cao Wei would attack Soochow, so he withdrew.

In other words, after Liu Bei's defeat, he almost did not have enough strength to resist Soochow's attack.

There was almost no ability to protect themselves in Baidi City because the losses caused by the defeat were too great.

Under this situation, Liu Bei was very worried about the future of Shu Han. He was already hostile to Soochow and was a sworn enemy to Cao Wei.

If these two families jointly attack Shuhan, what should we do?
If Liu Chan, his successor after his death, is a capable person, then he may be able to save this mess.

If Liu Chan had no talent, wouldn't all his life's hard work be in vain?

And Zhuge Liang is a person who has the ability to govern the country and bring peace to the country, if he is replaced.

Then Zhuge Liang can restore the current situation of Shu Han and enable the country to survive.

Second, the Han Dynasty has declined and people's hearts have long been lost.

The late Eastern Han Dynasty was the most corrupt and declining period in the history of the Han Dynasty, and it was also a rare dark period in history.

The common people, who are the foundation of the country, are ruled by the small group of people in power.

When they are so oppressed that they can hardly breathe, they are either heading towards death or towards a full-scale explosion.

The three Zhang Jiao brothers saw this clearly, so they founded Taiping Dao, won over believers, and launched the Yellow Turbans uprising.

From this moment on, the people who were originally exploited no longer even had the capital they were exploited for.

Because they either died in the war or died while fleeing.

Only some people can find a new land and live a new life.

It was also from this time on that the people began to distrust the imperial court.

The common people began to vaguely feel that the Han Dynasty had declined and was on the end of its journey.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, the imperial court was helpless against the separatist forces in various places, and it was finally controlled by Cao Cao.

Liu Bei, who made his fortune from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, knew this clearly, and he naturally understood that the Han royal family had lost the support of the people.

Although Liu Bei claimed to be the heir to the Han Dynasty, he failed in Yiling and lost part of the remaining popular support.

In this case, instead of letting Liu Chan continue to guard the Han family name, fewer and fewer people will support Liu Chan.

It would be better to let Zhuge Liang establish a new dynasty and give the people a new hope. Only in this way can he be worthy of those who believed in him and followed him.

Third, it was difficult for Liu Chan to govern the country, so he might as well be an Anlehou.

Liu Bei had read countless people, and naturally he could tell whether his son had talent from the young Liu Chan.

In fact, judging from the subsequent historical development, although Liu Chan cannot be said to be a foolish king, he is definitely a person without talent and incompetence.

Liu Bei also knew this, so before he died, he couldn't help but worry about Liu Chan's future.

It was very difficult for the Shu Han to complete the goal of revitalizing the Han Dynasty and setting the Central Plains in the north.

Even a great man like Liu Bei, who controls many civil and military figures with talents no less than his, would not be able to accomplish his goal easily, and it would be even more impossible for Liu Chan.

If the country declines or even collapses due to Liu Chan's incompetence, then Liu Chan's end will be miserable.

Rather than doing this, it is better to hand over the country to Zhuge Liang.

And Liu Bei must be willing to see Liu Chan leave the center of power and become a happy prince.

It was precisely based on these three reasons that he believed that Liu Bei's words of entrustment to Zhuge Liang were not necessarily to win people's hearts.

Perhaps when Liu Bei lost his fighting spirit and hope of continuing to survive, he might really want to hand over the country to Zhuge Liang.

"In February 225, Zhuge Liang led his troops to attack Yong Kai and other rebels in Nanzhong."

"Ma Di advised Zhuge Liang that the best way to send troops this time is to appease his mind. Zhuge Liang accepted the advice with an open mind."

"In July, Zhuge Liang killed the rebel leader, and Meng Huo, the leader of the south-central region, took in the remnants of Yong Kai's troops to confront Zhuge Liang."

"Zhuge Liang's seven attempts to capture him finally convinced Meng Huo and surrendered to the Shu Han regime."

"Zhuge Liang did not station troops in Nanzhong, but also appointed officials to some famous people in Nanzhong such as Meng Huo."

"And provided them with gold, silver, money, and farming technology for their use, and then returned to Chengdu."

"In 226, Zhuge Liang wanted to send troops to Hanzhong and sent former general Li Yan to garrison Jiangzhou. He ordered the military guard Chen Dao to garrison Yong'an and put it under Li Yan's command. This move was intended to defend against the attack of the Soochow regime."

"In 227, Zhuge Liang led his troops to the north and stationed in Hanzhong. He left Zhang Yi, the chief historian, and Jiang Wan, who joined the army, to write a "Departure Order" to his successor Liu Chan before leaving, and then went to Mianyang to garrison."

"In the spring of 228, Zhuge Liang claimed to capture Mei County from Xiegu Road, and sent Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to lead troops to occupy Jigu to act as suspects."

"I personally led the troops to attack Qishan, but were resisted by the Wei army led by Zhang He."

"Zhuge Liang ordered Ma Di to lead all the armies forward, and fought Zhang He in the street pavilion. Ma Di was defeated because he did not listen to Zhuge Liang's arrangements."

"Zhuge Liang had to lead his people back to Hanzhong and execute Ma Di."

"I also wrote a letter to Lord Liu Chan to demote himself to three levels as punishment."

"The later master Liu Chan appointed Zhuge Liang as the right general to act as prime minister."

"During this expedition, Zhuge Liang took Jiang Wei, a member of Tianshui's army, under his command and appointed him as Cangcao Ju in charge of the military."

Li Shimin: Zhuge Liang should set a benchmark for ministers to follow.

He believed that Zhuge Liang was not only a wise man, but also a strategist who was well versed in the art of war.

Although Zhuge Liang was very diligent in governing the Shu Kingdom, Zhuge Liang's main energy was focused on expanding his territory without really considering how to improve the living standards of the people.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang also carried out extensive construction projects and wasted a lot of financial and material resources.

But in general, Zhuge Liang is a famous prime minister with excellent wisdom and governance ability, and his civil and military officials should follow Zhuge Liang's example.

In the battle between Shu and Wei, Zhuge Liang showed outstanding military talents.

Zhuge Liang's army was well-trained, disciplined, focused on battle formations, and commanded decisively, and thus achieved victory in some battles.

The failure of the Shu army to advance northward was determined precisely by the balance of forces between Shu and Wei.

Zhuge Liang's personal talents and his death from illness played only a partial role in the progress and outcome of the war.

In the process of dueling with Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang adopted an offense-defense strategy.

On the fifth day, he left Qishan and attacked Cao Wei in the north.

Although the country was small and weak, it did not win a big victory, but the strategy of using offense as defense was successful.

The Shu Kingdom fought against the Wei Kingdom for decades in hardship and embarrassment, and was once in an active position. This is inseparable from the foundation laid by Zhuge Liang.

"In the winter of 228, Zhuge Liang heard that Cao Xiu was defeated, that the Wei army was moving eastward, and that Guanzhong's defenses were empty, so he wanted to take the opportunity to send troops."

"The officials of the Shu Han Dynasty had doubts about whether this expedition could be successful. Therefore, Zhuge Liang wrote to the emperor Liu Chan to clearly state the importance of this expedition."

"In winter, Zhuge Liang sent troops to disperse the pass, besieged Chencang, fought with the Wei army, and killed Wei general Wang Shuang."

"In 229, Zhuge Liang sent Chen Shi to attack Wudu and Yinping. Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou under the Cao Wei regime, led his troops to resist."

"Zhuge Liang personally led troops to capture Jianwei, and Guo Huai immediately gave up resistance and retreated."

"Zhuge Liang thus obtained Wudu and Yinping, and the later master Liu Chan took the opportunity to restore Zhuge Liang's official position as prime minister."

"In 230, Zhuge Liang heard that the Wei army was coming."

"So, Zhuge Liang stationed himself at Chenggu and Akasaka for defense."

"At the same time, Zhuge Liang asked Li Yan to lead an army of 20,000 people to Hanzhong to support him."

"He also requested Liu Chan, the later master, to let Li Yan's son Li Feng serve as the governor of Jiangzhou and take over the local military affairs."

"In 231, Zhuge Liang once again led his troops to attack Qishan and used wooden oxen to transport grain."

"At that time, Li Yan was responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass. It was the time of summer and autumn, and it rained continuously, so the grain transportation could not keep up."

"Zhuge Liang received a message from Li Yan saying that the food could not keep up, so when the food was exhausted, Zhuge Liang led his troops to retreat."

"Sima Yi sent Zhang He to pursue him. Zhang He fought fiercely with Zhuge Liang near the wooden gate and was shot to death by Shu soldiers."

"After Zhuge Liang's army retreated, Li Yan pretended to be surprised and asked why the army retreated when there was plenty of food."

"At this time, Li Yan wanted to cover up his failure in supervising the transportation of grain and grass by emphasizing that Zhuge Liang retreated without reason."

"Zhuge Liang handed Li Yan's letter to him to the court, and Li Yan's inconsistencies were revealed."

"So, Zhuge Liang impeached Li Yan, thinking that he only cared about his own selfish interests and ignored the justice of the country, so he deposed Li Yan as a commoner."

Su Shi: Zhuge Liang, like Cao Cao, was also a politician and military strategist.

"Three Kingdoms" commented on Zhuge Liang, saying that military affairs were not his specialty and that he only adopted relatively prudent military strategies. It also said that his talents were mainly reflected in politics.

But from his perspective, Zhuge Liang was also an outstanding strategist in the military.

Zhuge Liang's attack on Cao Wei forced the powerful Cao Wei to take a defensive position and fall into a passive position. This is the embodiment of Zhuge Liang's military talent.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang was both a politician and a military strategist.

But he also wanted to explain fairly that although Zhuge Liang, like Cao Cao, adopted the policy of preventing the development of powerful forces, Zhuge Liang still had to make concessions to the powerful powerful families in Sichuan.

Although Zhuge Liang enriched the country and strengthened the army in order to revive the Han Dynasty, objectively it brought a period of stability, prosperity and harmony to the entire Bashu region.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu Kingdom governed by Zhuge Liang was the best, with clear politics, developed economy, and stable people.

"In 234, Zhuge Liang once again led his troops from Xiegu Road, using stray horses as transportation tools, and occupied Wuzhangyuan of Wugong County."

"Subsequently, Zhuge Liang led his troops to confront the Wei army led by Sima Yi across the Wei River."

"Zhuge Liang often worries that there will be insufficient food supply and it will be difficult to realize his ambition."

"So, he decided to divide his troops into farming on the south bank of the Wei River as a long-term solution."

"Zhuge Liang challenged Sima Yi several times, but Sima Yi stayed behind closed doors."

"Zhuge Liang used women's clothes to ridicule Sima Yi. Sima Yi was angry and wanted to fight, but was persuaded by the guard Xinpi."

"In August of the same year, Zhuge Liang was seriously ill, and his lord Liu Chan sent his servant She Li Fu to visit him and consult him on the country's plans."

"A few days later, Li Fu came to see Zhuge Liang again."

"Zhuge Liang knew his purpose and said that Fei Yi could be his successor."

"A few days later, Zhuge Liang died of illness. Liu Chan followed Zhuge Liang's orders and buried him in Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong."

"When Zhuge Liang just passed away, people everywhere asked the government to build temples."

"But the government refused on the grounds that it was unethical, so the people had no choice but to offer sacrifices on the roadside."

"In the spring of 263, at the suggestion of Xi Long and Xiang Chong, the later master Liu Chan built a temple for Zhuge Liang in Mianyang."

Zhu Di: It's a pity that Zhuge Liang fell short in the end and failed to help the Han Dynasty.

It is true that due to Zhuge Liang's early death, the Northern Expedition failed to achieve final success.

But if God gives Zhuge Liang enough life, it is entirely possible for the Shu army to retreat or defeat the Wei army and seize the Guanzhong area.

If Sun Wu's strong cooperation is added, greater results can be achieved.

Although history cannot be assumed, heroes should not be judged simply by their success or failure.

In terms of his strategic posture before his death, Zhuge Liang is also a rare example in history of using the weak to attack the strong, and he is fully worthy of the title of a first-class military strategist.

Of course, as a military strategist, Zhuge Liang lacked ingenuity. This was an obvious flaw and an important reason why his overall achievements were not as good as Cao Cao's.

However, it should be noted that the Northern Expedition failed to succeed in the end.

Fundamentally speaking, it is still restricted by the comparison of comprehensive strength between Shu and Wei.

The reason why Zhuge Liang failed in all five Northern Expeditions was mainly because the national power of Shu Han was too far behind that of Cao Wei.

Moreover, since Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, etc. died one after another, and all the Shu Han elite were lost in the battle of Yiling, Zhuge Liang also had no one to use.

To beat his opponent like this is enough to show how powerful Zhuge Liang is.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang's major was military administration, and military strategy was his hobby.

In addition, the opponents are all talented people, there are many people, and it is Zhuge Liang who is attacking and defending, so it is normal to be uncertain.
