Many people think that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition is a reckless military force and a way to bring about self-destruction. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoActually, people who really understand history and understand the perspective of history will never see it that way.

If you don't attack Cao Wei, Shu Han will die!

Since Cao Rui, the emperor of Cao Wei, agreed to the suggestion of the minister Sun Zi, he took a fortress against Shu and vigorously restored the strength of Wei.

Zhuge Liang had already realized that if Cao Wei was given time to develop his national strength, then the gap between Shu and Wei would become wider and wider.

Once Cao Wei is strong, Shu can only sit and wait for death. Only by going out of Shu and occupying Yongzhou and Liangzhou, first, you can get Qinchuan horses, organize cavalry, and secondly, when you come to fight, you will have a roundabout space and can launch large-scale battles.

Because at the beginning of the founding of the Shu State, with Jingzhou and Yizhou, Cao Cao was defeated at Chibi, and the power gap was not too large. However, since Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou and Liu Bei Yiling failed fiascoly, the Shuhan Group has experienced the loss of Jingzhou and Yiling, which can be described as a great loss of vitality.

Zhuge Liang launched the Northern Expedition, once Yongzhou and Liangzhou were defeated, Shu still had a chance to win the Central Plains.

Under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, Shu Han repeatedly attacked the strong with the weak, and repeatedly attacked the iron cavalry with foot soldiers.

In the case that the national strength, military strength, and transportation capacity are far inferior to the Wei State, and in the predicament that the grain and grass are unsustainable, they can repeatedly gain the upper hand in the fight with Sima Yi, Cao Zhen, Zhang He and other worldly names who "occupy ten times the land of the world, fight and annex the people, take the prison city, and have the elite".

Not only that, Zhuge Liang's "tens of thousands of foot soldiers, driving Qishan for a long time" can be in the enemy's territory: come and go freely, attack when you want, and retreat if you want to. With the soldiers of the Shu army on foot, he attacked Cao Wei's galloping iron cavalry.

However, the commander of the Wei state, under the favorable conditions of occupying the favorable conditions of time, location, and people, showed that he "had no intention of defending against the enemy" and could only "protect himself" in order to block the "crazy" attack of the weak enemy.

I have to sigh, Wei Guo is too "modest", right? Some people even proposed that if Zhuge Liang did not die, "end his will, think about it year after year, and plan day by day", then it would make the Yongliang soldiers of Wei State unable to disarm, the Central Plains iron cavalry could not release the saddle, the temple ministers did not dare to forget the responsibility of "defending the land and resisting the war", and the soldiers of the three armies did not dare to abolish the order of "pillow and wait";

Every day is like facing a great enemy, panicking and unsafe, and the situation of victory or defeat has also been decided.

In this way, can we still distinguish who is strong and who is weak? Shu Xiang (Zhuge Liang) used the land of a state to lead the people of Bashu against millions of people in the Central Plains. Isn't this similar to the old days when the princes did not dare to add troops to the Zheng State?

With the strength of the Wei army's armament and the familiarity of local warfare, there is no need to worry about the rear, and there is plenty of food and grass. All the advantages are better than Zhuge Liang, if you can really defeat the Shu army led by Zhuge Liang, why bother to defend passively?

Dake rode out in all directions, and the warriors fell into battle, leveling the enemy in one fell swoop and relieving the worries of the Wei State. It has always been the invasion of the strong country and the defense of the weak, but except for Cao Wei's active attack, in the past six years, Cao Zhen and Sima Yi have been tireless and cautious in resisting the invasion of Shu Han.

If you think that this is a good strategy for Sima Yi and others to win without a fight, then it is too underestimated to underestimate the war, in the art of war, "ten will surround it, five will attack it, and the enemy will be able to divide it" The words of Yunyun are still in my ears!

Moreover, since ancient times, the generals who defend the city are not looked down upon, even if the war is won, when the final meritorious deeds are rewarded, the name of the general defending the city is basically ranked last, the reward is the smallest, and the merit is almost none. What's more, the strength of the Wei army is 5 times that of the Shu army.

In the war against Zhuge Liang, the "master tactician" Sima Yi lost the decisiveness and composure of the past "Keri captured Mengda", and did not have the "command Ruyi" that later pacified Liaodong, and the treacherous conspiracy when "earning Cao Shuang to seize military power";

In front of Zhuge Liang, he was completely out of order, it seemed that it was difficult to find a flaw in Zhuge Liang, and he did not come up with even a clever plan that could theoretically eliminate the Shu army.

Zhang He proposed to outflank Zhuge Liang's back road by surprise, but Sima Yi, who was known for his good use of sneak attacks, refused without even thinking about it; Later, for some reason, Sima Yi made a ghost and desperately wanted Zhang He to pursue Zhuge Liang, but he didn't want to fall into Zhuge Liang's ambush and killed General Zhang He.

Because he couldn't bear the sarcasm of the generals who were "afraid of Shu like a tiger", he finally decided to attack. But it turned out that the only head-to-head confrontation with Zhuge Liang in his life was wrong in theory and even in practice, and after hastily discarding more than 3,000 corpses of Wei soldiers and more than 8,000 pieces of weapons and equipment, Sima Yi retreated to the camp and held on.

Since then, "sticking to it" has replaced the "Thirty-six Strategies and Sun Tzu's Art of War" has become his only choice for Sima Yi, it seems that only perseverance is the king's way, and taking the initiative to attack is to perish.

No tactics of war work, and the best way to resist Zhuge Liang is: he won't come out if he is killed.

No matter how Zhuge Liang coerced, seduced, ridiculed, and invited, Sima Yi insisted on the truth that he would never attack, and how wise he was at this time.

Because Zhuge Liang almost racked his brains in order to deceive him into fighting. The weak Shu State actually tried its best to fight the powerful country, while the powerful Wei State refused to fight desperately, this kind of war is simply not possible in the past or even in the future.

If we put this period of incredible history of weak countries repeatedly invading strong countries, we can put them in modern times. It's also unacceptable.

In war, it is always only the weak side that sticks to it, "first for the invincible", and then finds the right opportunity to "wait for the enemy to be victorious", but Sima Yi miraculously broke this law, and Zhuge Liang miraculously overturned this logic.

In the end, Sima Yi persevered, ruthless time and fate defeated Zhuge Liang, of course, some people may say: it was Sima Yi who skillfully used "ruthless time and fate to defeat Zhuge Liang", but no matter what, it can be seen that the treacherous Sima Yi can only defeat Zhuge Liang under the condition of ally with "ruthless time and fate".

Zhang Yan, a native of Wu, once said, "Zhuge and Sima are two ministers", both of whom are capable ministers of governing the country and idle ministers of overlords. Then he further pointed out: "The warrior people of Shu are only one-ninth of that of Wei, but Zhuge Liang dares to drive tens of thousands of foot soldiers to Qishan, and he has the ambition to drink Ma Heluo; Sima Yi gathered in the Central Plains of the world, but he lost the intention of capturing the enemy, so he only wanted to protect himself, so that Pi Kongming could go freely.

Otherwise, what else? So I can only sigh: Fang Zhisima is not also superior!

Some people also said: Sima Yi was worried that after defeating Zhuge Liang, the Emperor of Wei would "cook him with a rabbit and a dog". So let's turn over the history, Sima Yi was still favored for a few years after Zhuge Liang's death, and even let him lead the army to crusade against the Liaodong rebellion at the most critical moment, is there such a "bird hiding the bow"?

It was not until after the death of Emperor Wei Ming that he was deprived of real power by his political rival Cao Shuang. It can be seen that Emperor Wei Ming is in Japan, and there is no possibility of rabbits and dead dogs cooking. Think about it falsely, with Zhuge Liang's talent and Zhuge Liang's ambition, if it is changed to a teacher in the Wei State, it is not impossible for Long Xiang to look at the tiger, the soldiers to point out, clarify the universe, and unify the mountains and rivers.

Therefore, for Zhuge Liang's war, we must not look at it with ordinary eyes, because there are many things worth recalling, at least it is difficult to summarize it simply with success or failure.
