[During the Three Kingdoms period, the political situation was turbulent, the rulers were incompetent, the nobles were infighting and strife with each other, the people were in dire straits, class conflicts continued to escalate, and land resources were polarized.
In order to achieve unification and end the war, Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain under Liu Bei's three-visit thatched cottage.
Subsequently, he worked hard to achieve this goal throughout his life.
Judging from the situation of the Three Kingdoms at that time, Cao Cao was very powerful, with millions of soldiers, and he "held the emperor to command the princes". With Liu Beifang's strength, there was no way he could compete with him.]
[In this regard, a great man once commented: "In all wars, the most important thing for both the enemy and ourselves is the initiative of the war. This initiative means the freedom of the army. Once the initiative is lost, the army will
If you lose your freedom, you are in danger of being defeated and eliminated."
Zhuge Liang obviously thought so too, otherwise he would not have always adopted a proactive offensive strategy.
But it is a pity that Zhuge Liang failed to achieve his strategic goal after all.
However, this does not mean that Zhuge Liang is useless in the military. On the contrary, his strategic planning and his strategic propositions are correct. However, due to various reasons, he ultimately failed to achieve the goal of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.]
[The story is divided into two parts, let’s continue talking about Liu Bei’s visit to Shu.]
[Liu Bei’s initial attack on Xichuan actually did not go well.
Although Liu Bei had top military advisors like Fengchu Pang Tong, Liu Bei's army was first blocked at Jiameng Pass, then suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Luocheng, and finally defeated his military advisor Pang Tong.
It can be said that Liu Bei's first visit to Shu ended in failure.
At this critical moment when Liu Bei was unable to advance or retreat, Zhuge Liang, who was staying in Jingxiang, personally led his army into Shu to assist in the war.
He successively defeated Liu Zhang's generals Liu Huang, Lingbao, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, and Wu Yi, and then forced Liu Zhang to surrender, making Yizhou completely under Liu Bei's control.
It can be said that if Zhuge Liang had not led his army into Shu, Liu Bei would not only have been unable to pacify Yizhou, but he would probably have been trapped alive by Liu Zhang in the unfamiliar Western Shu.】
[But everything has two sides. Pang Tong's death and Zhuge Liang's entry into Shu also laid the foundation for the future loss of Jingzhou.
Because without Zhuge Liang's supervision, Guan Yu really dares to be arrogant]
Guan Yu: "."
Although he wanted to refute, Guan Yu couldn't say a word.
After all, without Zhuge Liang by his side, Guan Yu really went to the house to unveil the tiles.
Zhuge Liang in the beam of light sighed and said with a wry smile: "I also know this problem, but at that time, who else but me could turn the tide?"
"This is indeed a dilemma. Zhuge Liang can only bet that Guan Yu will not have any big problems." When Wang Meng said this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's a pity that Zhuge Liang lost the bet."
[After capturing Chengdu, Zhuge Liang was appointed as military advisor general and assigned to General Zuo's office.
Whenever Liu Bei sent out troops to conquer, Zhuge Liang was responsible for guarding Chengdu and providing Liu Bei with enough food and troops.
Zhuge Liang governed Shu and advocated harsh punishments. At first, many people were resentful of Zhuge Liang.
Fazheng also quoted Zhuge Liang's story about Han Emperor Gaozu abolishing the Qin Dynasty's harsh laws after entering Guanzhong and making a three-chapter law, hoping to be tolerant in governance. However, Zhuge Liang believed that Fazheng only knew one aspect 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 ignorant and incompetent. Since he took charge of Shu, he has not formulated effective laws, and he has not practiced moral governance and has no punishment.
The large clans in Shu were monopolistic and self-indulgent, and the rule of kings and ministers was gradually replaced by the specialization of the large clans.
He implemented severe punishments to correct this political situation.
Later, the land of Shu took on a new look under Zhuge Liang's governance, which just proved that Zhuge Liang had very unique insights and beneficial governance methods in governing the country.
[In October of the 22nd year of Jian'an (217), Cao Cao invaded Hanzhong southward after pacifying the warlords in Guanzhong.
The Battle of Hanzhong ended with Liu Bei's victory.
In July, Liu Bei claimed to be the King of Hanzhong.
At this point, the Liu family's forces have fully realized the strategic goal of "crossing Jingjing, benefiting" formulated by Zhuge Liang in the "Longzhong Countermeasures".
It also made Liu Bei, who was originally the weakest, become a powerful force not weaker than Cao Wei in one fell swoop!
If nothing unexpected happens, the Liu Group only needs to rest and recuperate for a few more years, and when they are ready with enough food and supplies, they can unite with Sun Quan, march out from Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and restore the Han Dynasty.]
"So, if there are no accidents, accidents will come."
"Guan Yu is the biggest surprise!"
"What a pity. Zhuge Liang's strategic plan had just succeeded, but Guan Yu made a mistake for him and lost Jingzhou."
"The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky. If Jingzhou is still there, the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han Dynasty will not be so difficult."
When the video played to this point, Guan Yu felt even more ashamed, "I single-handedly ruined the future of the Shu Han. I'm sorry for my brother and Kong Ming."
"It's a pity that I can be reborn, but I can't go back to before attacking Fancheng. Otherwise, no matter what, I will never open my back to Lu Meng and Sun Quan."
[The fourth greatest achievement: assisting in becoming emperor and continuing the Han Dynasty.
In the first year of Yankang (AD 220), Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao passed away, and the Cao Wei Group was now headed by Cao Pi.
At this time, Cao Pi chose to usurp the Han Dynasty and establish himself as emperor, ousting Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty from power, thus ending the Eastern Han Dynasty.】
"My big man died like this?"
"No, isn't there another Liu Bei? The big man hasn't completely fallen yet!"
"It seems that the Shu Han didn't hold out for long in the end. I, a big man, fell down in such frustration. Alas."
[In the second year of Wei Huangchu, 221 AD, news came that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had been murdered.
As the only surviving Western Shu regime in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei will undoubtedly proclaim himself emperor and continue the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei was already the king of Hanzhong at this time, and he was somewhat worried that his rash proclaiming emperor would arouse doubts among the people in the world.
Therefore, although the ministers repeatedly advised him, Liu Bei was still hesitant.
At this time, Zhuge Liang used the story of Geng Chun to persuade Liu Xiu to ascend the throne to persuade Liu Bei, so Liu Bei agreed to proclaim himself emperor and build his capital in Chengdu.]
Liu Xiu was suddenly mentioned by Su Qian, and as a "role model" lobbying for the throne, he still felt a little strange.
[After the establishment of the Shu Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang formulated severe punishments and laws, vigorously rectified the central Shu, abided by etiquette, restrained officials, used power cautiously, and was open and honest with others, and had a frank mind, which led to great governance in the central Shu.
Especially in the Hanzhong area, which has suffered from wars all year round, Zhuge Liang vigorously developed production according to local conditions, retired soldiers and encouraged farmers, and implemented military settlements and farming operations, so that Hanzhong, which was vast and sparsely populated, developed again, and gradually reached a virtuous cycle of more people and more food, so that
The people "live in peace and enjoy their jobs."
Only when the economy and people's livelihood are developed can the military be vigorously developed.
Zhuge Liang trained his army, improved his repeated crossbows, practiced military tactics, and made eight formations, which greatly enhanced the military strength of Sichuan and prepared the conditions for the Northern Expedition in the future.]
[Judging from Zhuge Liang's military career, his military ability has undergone a gradual improvement process.
It is undeniable that Zhuge Liang himself possesses extraordinary military abilities, but this ability was still in the form of book knowledge during Liu Bei's period.
Since Zhuge Liang was mainly responsible for providing enough food and troops and lacked opportunities for actual combat 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 strength is in governing the army and his shortcomings are in cunning conspiracies.】
