Chapter 162: Is Zhuge Liang Okay?

[During the Three Kingdoms period, the political situation was turbulent, the rulers were incompetent, the nobles were intrigued with each other, the people were struggling to make a living, the class contradictions were escalating, and land resources were polarized.

In order to achieve reunification and quell the war, Zhuge Liang went out of the mountain under Liu Bei's Sangu thatched house.

Since then, he has spent his entire life striving to achieve this goal.

Judging from the situation of the Three Kingdoms at that time, Cao Cao was strong, with millions of male soldiers, and "coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes", with Liu Beifang's strength, he could not compete with it at all. 】

[In this regard, the great man once commented: "In all wars, the most important thing for both the enemy and us is the initiative in the war. This initiative means the freedom of the army, and once it loses the initiative, the army loses its freedom and is in danger of being defeated and eliminated. ”

Zhuge Liang obviously thought the same way, otherwise he would not have always taken the initiative to attack the strategy.

But it's a pity that Zhuge Liang failed to achieve his strategic goals after all.

However, this does not mean that Zhuge Liang is useless in military affairs, on the contrary, his strategic planning and his strategic propositions are correct, but for various reasons, he finally failed to achieve the goal of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. 】

[The words are divided into two ends, let's continue to talk about Liu Bei's entry into Shu. 】

[Liu Bei's initial attack on Xichuan was actually not smooth.

Although Liu Bei had a top military division like Feng Xiao Pang Tong, Liu Bei's army was first blocked at Jiameng Pass, and then suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Los Angeles, and finally defeated the military division Pang Tong.

It can be said that Liu Bei's first entry into Shu ended in failure.

At this critical moment when Liu Bei could not advance or retreat, Zhuge Liang, who stayed in Jingxiang, personally led the army into Shu to help in the battle.

He successively defeated Liu Zhang's subordinate generals Liu Bi, Ling Bao, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, and Wu Yi, which forced Liu Zhang to surrender and made Yizhou completely under Liu Bei's hands.

It can be said that if Zhuge Liang had not led the army into Shu, Liu Bei would not only have not been able to pacify Yizhou, but would probably have been trapped alive by Liu Zhang in Xishu, where people and land were unfamiliar. 】

[But everything has two sides, Pang Tong died, and Zhuge Liang's entry into Shu also laid the root of the loss of Jingzhou in the future.

Because without Zhuge Liang's supervision, Guan Yu really dares to be proud of the sky]

Guan Yu: "."

Although he wanted to refute it, Guan Yu couldn't say a word.

After all, without Zhuge Liang by his side, he Guan Yu really went to the house to uncover the tiles.

Zhuge Liang in the pillar of light sighed and said with a wry smile: "I also know this problem, but at that time, who could turn the tide except me?" ”

"This is indeed a dilemma, Zhuge Liang only bets, betting that Guan Yu will not have a big problem." When Wang Meng said this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's a pity that Zhuge Liang lost the bet." ”

[After the capture of Chengdu, Zhuge Liang was appointed as the general of the military division and the affairs of the general of the left general's office.

Whenever Liu Bei sent troops to conquer, Zhuge Liang was responsible for guarding Chengdu and providing Liu Bei with enough food and soldiers.

Zhuge Liang governed Shu and advocated strict punishment and strict laws, and there were still many people who had grievances against Zhuge Liang at the beginning.

Fa Zheng also invoked the story of Zhuge Liang to abolish the harsh laws of the Qin Dynasty after Han Gaozu entered Guanzhong, and about the story of three chapters of the law, hoping to be tolerant and governed, but Zhuge Liang thought that Fa Zheng only knew one and did not know the other.

Zhuge Liang believes that the current situation is different from that of the late Qin Dynasty, Liu Zhang is stupid and incompetent, since he ruled Shudi, he has not formulated effective laws, and he has not cultivated virtue and politics, and there is no threat and punishment.

The big clans of Shu are autocratic, and the way of the monarch and the minister is gradually replaced by the specialization of the big clan.

He imposed harsh punishments in order to rectify this political situation.

Later, Shu was rejuvenated under the governance of Zhuge Liang, which just proved that Zhuge Liang had a very unique insight into governing the country and the governance means that played a beneficial role.

[In October of the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), Cao Cao invaded Hanzhong south after pacifying the warlords in Guanzhong.

The Battle of Hanzhong ended in Liu Bei's victory.

In July, Liu Bei proclaimed himself king of Hanzhong.

So far, the Liu forces have fully realized the strategic goal of "crossing the Jing and benefiting" formulated by Zhuge Liang in the "Longzhong Countermeasures".

It also made Liu Bei, who was originally the weakest, become a powerful force that is not weaker than Cao Wei in one fell swoop!

If there is no accident, as long as the Liu group rests for a few more years, it will be able to unite with Sun Quan and go out of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains from Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou to recover the Han Dynasty. 】

"So, if there is no accident, the accident comes"

"Guan Yu is the biggest accident!"

"It's a pity, Zhuge Liang's strategic plan has just succeeded, and Guan Yu gave him a careless Jingzhou"

"The road to Shu is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, if Jingzhou is still there, the Northern Expedition of Shu Han will not be so difficult"

When the video was played here, Guan Yu felt even more ashamed in his heart, "It was I who single-handedly buried Shu Han's future, I'm sorry for my eldest brother, I'm sorry for Kong Ming." ”

"It's a pity that I can be reborn, but I can't go back to before the attack on Fancheng. Otherwise, I wouldn't have opened my back to Lu Meng Sun Quan if I said anything. ”

[The fourth major achievement: assisting the emperor and continuing the Han family.

In the first year of Emperor Yankang of the Han Dynasty (220 AD), Cao Cao died, and the Cao Wei Group was already Cao Pi's master.

At this time, Cao Pi chose to usurp the Han Dynasty and set himself up as the emperor, ousting Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty from power, and the Eastern Han regime came to an end. 】

"That's how my big man died?"

"No, isn't there another Liu Bei, the big man hasn't completely fallen yet!"

"It seems that Shu Han didn't last long in the end, and my big man fell down so aggrieved, alas."

[In the second year of the early Wei and Huang dynasties, in 221 AD, there was news that Emperor Xian of Han was killed.

As the only remaining Western Shu regime in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei undoubtedly wanted to be the emperor and continue the Han dynasty.

Liu Bei was already the king of Hanzhong at this time, and he was a little worried that his rash claim to be emperor would cause people in the world to question it.

Therefore, although the ministers repeatedly admonished, Liu Bei still hesitated.

And at this time, Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei with the story of Geng Chun's lobbying of Liu Xiu to ascend the throne, so Liu Bei agreed to be the emperor and build the capital Chengdu. 】

Liu Xiu was suddenly mentioned by Su Qian, and he was still playing the role of a "role model" lobbying to ascend the throne, and he still felt a little strange in his heart.

[After the establishment of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang formulated strict punishment laws, vigorously rectified Shuzhong, abided by the etiquette system, restrained officials, used power prudently, and was open and honest to people, so that Shuzhong was governed.

In particular, in the Hanzhong region, which has been suffering from war all the year round, Zhuge Liang adapted measures to local conditions, vigorously developed production, persuaded farmers to rest on duty, and carried out military cultivation warfare, so that Hanzhong, which has a vast land and sparsely populated areas, has been redeveloped, and gradually reached a virtuous circle of more people and more grain, so that the people can "live in peace and enjoy their work."

Only when the economy and the people's livelihood are developed can we vigorously develop the military.

Zhuge Liang trained the army, improved the crossbow, deduced the art of war, and made eight formations, which greatly enhanced the military strength of Shuzhong, which prepared the conditions for the Northern Expedition in the future. 】

[Judging from Zhuge Liang's military career, his military ability has a process of gradual improvement.

It is undeniable that Zhuge Liang himself has extraordinary military ability, but this ability was still in the book knowledge during Liu Bei's period.

Because Zhuge Liang was mainly responsible for the work of sufficient food and soldiers, and lacked the opportunity to fight on the battlefield, Zhuge Liang was very good at organizing and training the army, but his battlefield command ability was relatively lacking.

This should also be the reason why it is said in "Three Kingdoms" that Zhuge Liang's rule is long, and the conspiracy is short. 】
