84 victors laughed bitter tears

With the laughter of the victor, Sun Quan commented on Sun Shangxiang's victory in attacking Jingzhou, and finally laughed when he talked about Zhuge Liang's bitter crying: "It's late, it's late!" But he shed bitter tears.

Why is that?

Sun Quan changed history and got the coveted Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang changed history, drove out political opponents, and obtained a position of complete dominance.

They were all victors, but they all shed tears.

Sun Quan got Jingzhou and spoke out for the unfair treatment he had been subjected to in the Sun-Liu alliance for a long time. But after the passage of time, Sun Quan found that he won the tactics but lost the strategy. His dream of going north to the Central Plains has become more and more distant from him, and the most likely, most promising, and almost touchable moment of success is the moment when he changes the direction of history!

Zhuge Liang achieved a position of complete dominance, completely free from the interference of political enemies, and could carry out his ambitions as he pleased. However, Zhuge Liang found early on that the realization of his ideal of going out of the mountains in Longzhong has become more and more slim. When history changes, the butterfly effect is far beyond Zhuge Liang's imagination - the Sun-Liu alliance is broken - Jingzhou is lost - the adjacent Wuling, Yiling and other territories are lost, and the ability to attack Cao Wei's henchmen is actually lost - Guan Yu dies - Zhang Fei dies - Yiling is defeated like a mountain - Liu Bei dies and is orphaned. By the time Zhuge Liang repaired the Sun-Liu Alliance, the Northern Wei Dynasty was already unshakable.

Zhuge Liang was full of guilt. Of course, not to Sun Shangxiang, he thinks that Sun Shangxiang is a stupid girl who can be done at once. He felt ashamed of his ancestor Liu Bei, who gave him everything—trust, power, and all the space to repay his losses, but he messed up. When Zhao Yun died, he cried bitterly, and he was thinking: If before Guan Yu's Northern Expedition, how good it would be to leave Zhao Yun in the public security, as long as there were 10,000 soldiers and horses, there would not be such a tragic butterfly effect.

A strong sense of guilt made Zhuge Liang eager to repay it, knowing that he couldn't do it. Again and again, the whole country poured its strength into Wei. Six out of Qi Mountain, because after Zhuge Liang lost Jingzhou, there was no other road to cut down Wei.

Sun Shangxiang won the first battle in the Taiwan Strait in Taiwan (Yizhou), does Zhuge Liang know? I think I know. Because Sun Quan's Eastern Crusade was vigorous, it was impossible for Zhuge Liang not to know.

But Xishu, like Dongwu, avoided and avoided talking about Sun Shangxiang's three words. If Sun Shangxiang is brought up and discussed again by the government and the opposition, if the rupture of the Sun-Liu alliance is re-examined and reflected, this is intolerable to Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang.

Now we have a deeper understanding of Sun Shangxiang since he returned to Soochow, as if he had evaporated from the world, and the history books of Soochow and Xishu never mentioned it.
