Now some people think that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition greatly damaged the national strength of Shu Han, and the later demise of Shu Han has an unshirkable responsibility, but Shu Han destroyed the country thirty years after Zhuge Liang's death, and after Zhuge Liang's death, the national strength of Shu did not decline rapidly at first, until his heirs Jiang Wan and Fei Yi died, and the political and military problems of Shu Han became bigger.

【Northern Expedition Controversy】

In history, the national power of Shu Han did not have a fatal shock because of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, and the national strength of Shu Han was not significantly weakened because of the Northern Expedition, and the fact that Shu Han perished was also a matter long after Zhuge Liang's death, so Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was not directly related to the demise of Shu Han.

But after Zhuge Liang's death, his successors continued the policy of the Northern Expedition, so was the continuation of the Northern Expedition policy the reason for Shu Han? This can't be said to be completely none, in the late Shu Han period, the late Shu Han Dynasty was mired in war, and the national strength declined greatly, which was directly related to Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition.

However, a specific analysis of the demise of the late Shu Han Dynasty and the factors of the rulers are more important, and the reasons for the policy are not very direct. The decline of Shu Han can be said to have started with Chen Yi, who began to take power after the death of Dong Yun in the service, and the power of Shu Han basically fell into his hands after Fei Yi's death.

After he took power, he did two things, which eventually led directly to the demise of Shu Han, the first thing was to communicate with the eunuchs, no longer exclude the eunuch Huang Hao, and Huang Hao was the inside and outside of each other, which directly led to the eunuch chaos in the future, and the second thing was related to the Northern Expedition, after the death of the general Fei Yi, Chen Yi began to fully support Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, lifting the previous restrictions on Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, and Jiang Wei could not be compared with Zhuge Liang in terms of ability, which made the late Shu Han Dynasty fall into the quagmire of war, and finally overwhelmed and suffered a great loss of national strength, Later, it was destroyed by the Wei state.

Therefore, it is undeniable that the demise of Shu Han is related to the Northern Expedition policy, but Zhuge Liang and his designated successors Jiang Wan and Fei Yi all implemented the Northern Expedition policy, and during their time in power, the Northern Expedition did not seriously affect the national strength of Shu Han, but after their death, the Northern Expedition pushed Shu Han into the abyss, and in the final analysis, it was still a human problem.

【The Historical Shu Kingdoms】

There were also several countries in which Chinese feudal society established power in Shu Han, including Shu Han, but most of them were short-lived, including Shu (8-25) established by Gongsun Shu at the end of the Western Han Dynasty for 17 years; 42 years before and after the Shu Han Dynasty (221-263|264) established by Liu Bei at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty; 41 years before and after the establishment of the Cheng Han Dynasty (306-347) by Li Xiong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty; 19 years before and after the late Tang Dynasty Wang Jian's former Shu (907-926); 31 years before and after the establishment of the Later Shu (934-965) by the fifth generation of Meng Zhixiang; 8 years before and after the establishment of Bactria (1363-1671) by Ming Yuzhen at the end of the Yuan Dynasty; At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong established Onishi (1644-1646) for two years.

Shu is known as the country of abundance, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with unique advantages, but it is always destroyed by foreign regimes in a short time. Personally, I think that on the one hand, it is because the geographical environment is relatively closed, and the internal people are more comfortable and lack of initiative, so it is difficult for others to enter and get out themselves; On the other hand, there is a shortage of talents in Shudi, especially key political and military talents.

Among them, the Shu Han is undoubtedly the strongest, and it has existed for the longest time, and most of the other Shu regimes are unknown, and their influence on Chinese history is also very limited. And Liu Bei died soon after becoming emperor, and there was little left of the team he left, and the lord Liu Chan was not a director, and the strength of Shu Han and Zhuge Liang in general had an inseparable relationship, it can be said that Shu Han was established by Liu Bei, but it was developed by Zhuge Liang.

【Unbearable pain】

In history, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition did not have much loss to Shu Han, but Zhuge Liang's death had a great impact on Shu Han, which can be said to be an unbearable pain.

On the Eastern Wu side, Sun Quan considered that Cao Wei might take advantage of the temporary weakening of Shu Han's strength and take the opportunity to attack Shu Han, and added 10,000 troops to Baqiu's garrison force, first, to serve as a rescue for Shu Han, and second, to divide Shu Han according to the situation. Seeing the situation, Shu Han also increased the defense force of the White Emperor City to prevent sudden changes.

In terms of Cao Wei, after the death of Zhuge Liang, Emperor Cao Rui of Wei also felt that the threat was greatly reduced, and the monarch template gradually changed from Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing to Xia Wei and King Xu, and wantonly collected harem beauties and built a large number of buildings.

As for the internal Shu Han, the struggle in the army intensified, Yang Yi killed Wei Yan, and finally committed suicide. In a word, if it weren't for Zhuge Liang, who would have put Shu Han in his eyes.

[Tired Zhuge Liang]

In the official history, Zhuge Liang did everything in detail, accumulated hard work, and finally died of exhaustion in Wuzhangyuan, which is very regrettable, but Zhuge Liang himself did not know that this was not good for his health, and in the actual situation, Zhuge Liang had no way to work so hard.

You must know that during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei was not afraid of Shu Han, but Zhuge Liang, at that time, Zhuge Liang attacked the strong with weakness, forced Cao Wei to focus on defense, refused to fight, and it can be said that there was no one left.

However, this is not without a price, it is an indisputable fact that the national strength of Shu Han is far weaker than that of Cao Wei, in this case, Zhuge Liang can not make the national strength of Shu Han have a significant improvement, can only improve efficiency, and the best way to improve efficiency is to work personally and do things by himself, so that government affairs will develop in the most ideal direction of Zhuge Liang. But the price of doing so is to consume a lot of Zhuge Liang's own time, energy and mental strength, and eventually reduce his life.

Zhuge Liang may not know this, but he has no choice, because if he wants to destroy Wei, Zhuge Liang himself will not fight, let alone hope, how many Zhuge Liang can there be in Chinese history? Count on the descendants, okay?

It can be imagined that Zhuge Liang stood on the court and looked at it, the elites of Shu Han were basically from Jingzhou, Yongzhou and other places, and Yizhou himself had few talents, what should Zhuge Liang do, he could only go on his own.

How tired Zhuge Liang was at that time, he had to consider the Northern Expedition when he was in Hanzhong, and he had to deal with government affairs after returning to Chengdu, and he was even more careless during the Northern Expedition, because the national strength of Shu Han was limited, and the losses must be controlled.

But he didn't have a choice, he didn't go up and had to go, the end of being trapped in Shu was bound to perish quickly, which was no exception in the entire history of China, none of those regimes in Shu could last for fifty years, when Zhuge Liang was alive, the later lord Liu Chan trusted him and handed over all the power of Shu Han to him, the will of the first lord Liu Bei is still repeated in his ears, and his subordinates also looked at Zhuge Liang with hopeful eyes, can Zhuge Liang be indifferent?

At that time, for the internal Shu Han, they were united and ready for the Northern Expedition, if they don't fight now, will Shu Han still have such a good internal environment in the future.

So Zhuge Liang has no choice, while he shows amazing political and military ability, he also pays the corresponding price in secret, attacking the strong with the weak, and the strong do not make mistakes, how can it be said.

ps: Zhuge Liang's tragedy comes from the fact that the opponent is too strong, and the internal problems of Shu Han are not big, but objective factors determine that there is no hope for the Northern Expedition.
