Said that Liu Bei was poor and had to take refuge in Liu Biao. In Providence, I met Mr. Shuijing, because Shuijing said, "Long Fu and Xiao Feng, two people get one, and they can live in peace." From then on, I began my journey to find Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei once asked Xu Shu, "What is the virtue of this man compared with his husband?" Cao Shu said, "Compared with a certain person, such as a couple, Western jackdaw in the West, and Kirin. This person compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi every time; In my opinion, wind music is almost inferior to this man. This man has the talent of heaven and earth and covers the world! " In fact, Zhuge Liang knew the world without leaving home; On one's own, he promoted the alliance between Sun and Liu and defeated Cao Cao. Cheat Jingzhou and seize the East and West Rivers; Assisting the sinus, cutting the north from the south. With these four articles, it is completely beyond Xu Shu's evaluation; Considering the strength of our opponents and our own shortcomings, it can be said that it is unprecedented and unprecedented.
But Zhuge Liang's three great failures doomed the ultimate failure of Liu Bei Group.
Let Cao Cao go after losing Huarong Road.
Zhuge Liang in Battle of Red Cliffs is a god. He used his own strength to argue with Confucianism, understand the situation, see the prophet first, call the wind and call the rain, and spend weeks wondering about the future. He wisely planned to retire after his success. Battle of Red Cliffs ended up with Zhuge Liang intentionally letting Guan Yu let Cao Cao go.
However, should Zhuge Liang let Cao Cao go?
Zhuge Liang said, "If you look at the sky at night, the thief will still die. It is also a good thing to leave this favor to Yun Chang. " The celestial phenomena decide Cao Cao's life and death. This is no joke! Did the astronomical phenomena also determine the defeat of Cao Cao's Chibi and Zhuge Liang's assistance to Liu Bei before? If this is the case, it is predestined that Cao Shi Sima Group founded by Cao Cao will destroy the Han Dynasty and unify the Three Kingdoms. Isn't this a great irony to Zhuge Liang?
The interpretation of the Three Kingdoms in the film and television version represents the view of most people, that is, Liu Bei was too weak at that time, Zhuge Liang was worried that Cao Cao would die, and Wu Dongjun, commander in chief of Zhou Yu, would have no scruples and might immediately surrender to Liu Bei. And if Cao Cao dies, Cao Cao's strength is still the strongest, and Soochow will continue to unite with Sun Liu and * * * to resist Cao Cao's strategy; In this way, Zhuge Liang can't beat the other side even if he swindles Jingzhou, so he can only find another way. This just gave Zhuge Liang the space to play tricks and let him continue his established plan of taking Jingzhou and attacking the two rivers tailored for Liu Bei before he became king.
Regardless of gossip, let's analyze the situation before and after Battle of Red Cliffs. Cao Cao took the emperor as his arm, destroyed Yuan Shu, swallowed Lu Bu and Yuan Shao, and went to Jingzhou. The number of soldiers on the front line in the south of the Yangtze River reached 830,000. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao wanted to immediately arise and attack Wu 400,000. If we add soldiers defending Xiliang, Dongchuan and the north, as well as troops stationed in various places, I am afraid that Cao Cao's advantage is incomparable to that of ten Sun Quan and Liu Bei. Relatively speaking, Liu Beize is much weaker. Even with Liu Qi's troops, there are only 20,000-30,000 people, leaving only Jiangxia and Xiakou two tiny places. It is also a mixture of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and Sun Quan is much better. At the very least, there will be many soldiers, and the three armies will kill them; The most important thing is to occupy the geographical position and be good at water warfare. To be fair, if Lu Su and Zhou Yu hadn't killed Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, maybe the world really belonged to Zhou Yu. Of course, if this is the case, it will not become history.
Let's analyze the non-historical situation.
Suppose Zhuge Liang killed Cao Cao, Cao Cao's relatives and friends would attack Liu Bei and Sun Quan with all their strength, because in their eyes, Cao Cao's 830,000 troops were wiped out by Zhou Yu, which would inevitably bring Sun Quan and Liu Bei closer together, causing the princes of the world to attack Cao Cao Group. And the problem of Cao Cao's inheritance will be more difficult to solve. Because of Cao Cao's new defeat, his supporters may become independent. Cao Cao is still the strongest; Of course, Liu Bei will continue to rely on Sun Quan to kill Cao Cao. The probability is greatly increased, but the danger is also multiplied, and the situation may be worse.
But what if Zhuge Liang captured Cao Cao alive? Then the situation is completely different. It can even be said that the world is in Ge Liang's hands.
Zhuge Liang could reach an agreement with Cao Cao at that time. First, return Jingzhou to Liu Qi and Liu Bei; Second, if Soochow attacks Jingzhou, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will jointly take it; Third, let Cao Cao promise not to attack (or take the initiative to attack) Liu Bei in his lifetime or n years; Fourth, send Cao Cao back to China after three or n years; Fifth, after Cao Cao returned to China, he needed to ask Xian Di to move to Jingzhou and let Liu Bei do his best.
Don't worry about Cao Cao's rejection of these conditions. After all, the ship is waiting for the ship. I don't want to ruin decades of hard work because of a moment of anger. And with Liu Bei's courtesy, Cao Cao's sense of humiliation under house arrest was slightly alleviated. With the steps, he is not afraid of Cao Cao's refusal.
Once the secret meeting is reached, Jingzhou will belong to Liu Bei, a Jingzhou that Cao Cao and Sun Quan dare not attack. In this way, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang can win Jingzhou and Sichuan as planned, and sit and watch both Cao Cao and Sun Quan lose, and it is just around the corner to compete with the world.
When Cao Cao returned to Jingzhou, he would try his best to prevent Xian Di from leaving Xudu for Jingzhou. So he refused the invitation again, and ordered the world to be satisfied with Xudu, unwilling to move Jingzhou to move troops. He also asked his uncle to govern Jingzhou and do his duty as a big fellow with the Prime Minister. Liu Beixin is not in Xian Di, even afraid that Xian Di will come to Jingzhou. After all, he is an uncle, and he can't make friends with princes with the world as a big violation. To achieve political goals, both sides are happy and happy.
In this way, the trend of the Three Kingdoms remained basically unchanged, but Sun Quan was the weakest and had to rely on Liu Bei. Does Liu Bei have a more perfect ending?
Moreover, by inviting Xian Di to move to Jingzhou, he showed his uncle status and loyalty to the king, so as to win the hearts of the people all over the world; Cao Cao's stratagem of placing Xian Di under house arrest can further confirm his identity as a thief from other countries and make some wise men who still have illusions about him give up and turn to Liu Bei. Is there anything more important than gaining the heart of the world? Once you win the heart of the world, you are not far from winning the world.
This ending does not violate Zhuge Liang's theory of astronomical phenomena, which shows that Zhuge Liang really let go of the great opportunity; Considering that after letting Cao Cao go, even Zhou Yu has been trying to calculate Liu Bei, and the situation is extremely dangerous, he knows how big a mistake Zhuge Liang made.
Second, I lost my seat and watched Liu Bei's funeral send 750 thousand
Everything is going on in the planning of Zhuge Liang and Lu. Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, took the two rivers, made Guan Yu attack Fancheng, drove the seven armies, and forced Cao Cao to move the capital. At this point, Liu Bei's strength reached its peak, far ahead of Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
But at this time, the change of strength contrast led to the change of mentality of the three countries. Liu Bei's strength broke out, and Guan Yu was arrogant. Cao Cao changed his defense to attack and succeeded Sun Quan; Sun Quan is afraid of Cao Cao and Liu, and he has the pain of Jingzhou. In addition, Guan Yu refused to marry and bullied others too much. Finally, Cao Cao and Sun Quan came together, and the general trend of the Three Kingdoms changed again. Jingzhou changed hands and Guan Yu died.
Liu Bei refused to follow the crowd and abandoned Wei to attack Wu. Judging from the situation, Cao Cao Group has been exhausted and weakened. Although Sun Quan is not weak, his strength has not been greatly improved. Compared with Cao Shi and Liu Bei, it has no advantages, and unlike Cao Liu Zhibing, it lacks relative experience.
Liu Bei was eager for revenge and went his own way. Judging from the deployment of the expedition, he knew that the trip would fail. Liu Bei's deployment is as follows: ordering Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to protect the Prince and the two rivers; Ma Chao, a title of generals in ancient times, and his brother Ma Dai helped Wei Yanshou, a general in Zhenbei, make the Wei Bing. Zhaoyun, the general from the tiger and the wolf, should supervise the grain and grass; Yellow and Ji Cheng are staff officers, Ma Liang and Kyle manage documents; Huang zhong is a pioneer in luring the enemy; Feng Wei, lieutenant; Fu Tong and Zhang Yi are Zhong Jun's guards; Zhao Rong and Liao Chun came together. Sichuan will have 100,000 troops, the fifth stream will wait, and the * * * soldiers will be 750,000. They will start in July of the first year of Zhangwu.
Liu Bei's deployment made two taboos: first, those who advocated cutting Wei first were not reused. Even Zhuge Liang is no exception. When the company was seven hundred miles away, Ma Liang asked to draw the camp into a map and asked Zhuge Liang for instructions, but Liu Bei did not agree. And Zhao Yun should only be treated as hay after the end. Second, Liu Bei's generals who frighten the enemy, such as Ma Chao and Wei Yan, are unnecessary. At the forefront of the army, only Lao Huang Zhong and Xiao Zhang Xing, and then Liu Bei, who had just pacified the two rivers, surrendered. In other words, these people lack experience in war, especially in winning.
It happened that Liu Bei also brought 750,000 troops. These armies are all accumulated by Zhuge Liang's strategy and the blood of the Iliad to pacify the two rivers. It was these people who made Liu Bei the first in the Three Kingdoms and forced Sun Quan and Cao Cao to join hands with Liu Bei. Under the command of a group of servants, once these 750 thousand people were defeated, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to turn over again. People like Zhuge Liang can only cook without rice.
The worst thing about this attack on Wu was that it was led by Liu Bei, who had just ascended the throne. Doesn't Zhuge Liang know how heavy Liu Bei is? Liu Bei once said, "Cao Cao is my enemy in fire and water today." Fuck with urgency, I am wide; Fighting violence with violence, I am benevolent; Fuck with praise, I with loyalty: every time contrary to fuck, things can be done. I can't bear to lose confidence in this petty world. "In order to let Cao Cao occupy the right time and Sun Quan occupy the right place, he can reap the peace of the people and compete with Cao Sun for the world. This is also the difference between Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Cao Cao respects talents and is good at strategizing, so the decisive strategy of many brilliant battles also comes from his own wisdom; Liu Bei, on the other hand, is good at meeting people and not good at strategy. When he fought independently, he rarely won except the rabble of the yellow turban insurrectionary. So he took refuge in Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and Sun Quan. With his military talent at this time, how can Zhuge Liang make fun of the lives of 750 thousand people?
Moreover, Liu Bei at this time is the worst Liu Bei in history. There are two reasons: First, because of the tragic death of Zhang Guan, Liu Bei was eager for revenge, his mind was unclear, and he didn't know which was more important, public or private. The past brainstorming and long-term vision have disappeared; Secondly, because he just ascended the throne, the benevolent and generous master that everyone loved in the past disappeared, and a generation of arrogant monarchs were timid, refused to make suggestions and liked to go to court. How can such a person not lose 750 thousand lives?
Liu Bei's performance is even more disappointing.
At the beginning of the Eastern Expedition, Soochow was afraid of Liu Bei's great potential, and condemned Zhu Gejin's weakness for peace. Liu Bei can step down and unite with Wu to attack Wei; Or you can be disloyal and vague to weaken the heart of Soochow; Among thousands of choices, Liu Bei chose the worst one, that is, he said to Sun Quan, "It's no use killing my brother!" If you want me to stop fighting, you will rest until you die! "Sadly, Cao Cao's 80,000-30,000 siege is still divided into hawk and hawk; Liu Bei forced Sun Quan to have no room for manoeuvre, making everyone in Soochow feel insecure and unable to unite. Even if Cao Cao was defeated, how could Liu Bei win? Later, Sun Quan once again showed weakness for peace, and was cut off by Liu Bei, pointing out that Sun Quan was the enemy of gnashing his teeth. Sun Quan finally knew that if he wanted to save his life, he must reuse Lu Xun and give it a try. Liu Bei's strategy was miscalculated at this point, and he really laughed for the world.
Second, Liu Bei is arrogant, both civil and military, short-sighted and obsequious. When Ma Liang reminded Liu Bei: "Lu Xun's talent is not inferior to Zhou Lang's, so don't underestimate the enemy." Liu Bei actually said: "I am an old soldier, but I am not as good as Huang Kou!" Lu Xun couldn't insist, so Ma Liang protested, saying, "Lu Xun is very strategic. Now, your highness has come from afar to attack the war, from spring to summer; If he can't get out, he wants to wait for the change of our army. May your highness examine it. " Liu Bei said haughtily, "What does he want? But afraid of the enemy. You have lost several times, and you dare not come again today! " It is amazing and incredible to underestimate the enemy at this point.
Liu Xuande doesn't know the art of war-can anyone repel the enemy with a 700-mile battalion? The danger of defending Yuan and stationing troops is the taboo of this art of war. Xuande will be defeated by Lu Xun in Wu Dong. "This is xelloss's view of Liu Bei who has just ascended the throne and has no actual combat experience, which shows that Liu Bei is stupid. What is even more ridiculous is that his advisers are all afraid of the king's imposing manner, and even the civil and military officials congratulate him: "Your Highness's strategizing is not as good as other ministers! "Liu Bei readily accepted this flattery, so when Ma Liang questioned Ying Bu's 700 miles in the name of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei took the opportunity to send Ma Liang back to Dongchuan. Since then, the names of 750,000 people have been manipulated in the hands of a stupid king who is arrogant and underestimates his enemies and a group of incompetent flatterers. Aren't you sad?
With these three losses, it is not surprising that Liu Bei only lost more than 100 people to Baidicheng. It is worth remembering that Lu Xun was scared when he heard Zhao Yun's words and ordered the army to retreat. Take this elite soldier and let him supervise the grain and grass in Sichuan. Liu Bei doesn't know whether he regrets it or not. Did Zhaoyun think of the doyen Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan?
Seeing 750 thousand people die, Zhuge Liang is hard to blame, especially Liu Bei's suicide from beginning to end, even if he knows that it is unstoppable, he should try to save it as soon as possible. At this time, Liu Bei's strength reached the end of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhuge Liang had to make peace with Soochow.
Zhuge Liang is an advocate and executor of the joint resistance against Wei, and also an intermediate force to temporarily put aside personal grievances to serve the country and Chou He. But the courtiers could not resist the monarch (note: this monarch was forced to the throne by Zhuge Liang not long ago. After all, Liu Bei first attacked Wu. It can be said that cutting Wu is a national policy, and once it is determined, anyone must obey it unconditionally; Zhuge Liang, the director of Battle of Red Cliffs, should know this very well. Zhuge Liang didn't refuse to lead the troops or join the army in person, but he did bear an unshirkable responsibility for the fiasco of this war. This should be the most regrettable thing in Zhuge Liang's life. Zhuge Liang's unreasonable struggle wasted his efforts in the first half of his life and doomed him to die hard in the second half.
Three lost Jiang Wei values military affairs over politics.
In fact, watching Jiang Wei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is quite cold. I didn't have much interest in Jiang Wei when I first saw it. If you think about it carefully, it is really because he is not as outstanding as Zhuge Liang, and his era lacks legends such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. The second time I saw it, it not only changed my opinion, but also respected Jiang Wei more. Although the country was weak, the monarch was incompetent, and the eunuchs were authoritarian, Jiang Wei continued to win military victories, which made most people talk about Shu and dare not cut it. Zhuge Liang said that if you get Jiang Wei, you will get a phoenix. Jiang Wei deserves Zhuge Liang's evaluation. However, I have seen the Three Kingdoms several times recently, and my views on Jiang Wei have changed greatly. Jiang Wei continued to send troops to the Northern Expedition when the domestic political economy was close to collapse, which led to resentment between the army and the people and alienated the military department from the ministers. Several military victories will not change the fate of national subjugation.
Jiang Wei learned from Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang's legacy is still sacred to Jiang Wei. This last desire to send troops to the Northern Expedition to unify the Three Kingdoms made Jiang Wei never abandon his military achievements all his life, and the Northern Expedition reached nine times. The route to war, the defeat and self-mockery, and even the trapped Sima and phalanx are exactly the same.
If we carefully compare the situation of Jiang Wei and Zhuge Liang fighting in Qishan, we will find many similarities and even mistakes.
(1) Before starting your career
Before departure, the attitude of civil and military officials towards the Northern Expedition. Speaking of which, I have to say a key figure, Qiao Zhou. Qiao Zhou is a civil servant who specializes in astrology, but his ability to predict the future is no less than that of Kong Ming. Qiao Zhou gave me the first impression that he advocated surrender twice and became a scumbag seeking glory as a buyer. However, Qiao Zhou's surrender is only a manifestation of his disloyalty. Even though he got some unfavorable prophetic words of the Northern Expedition from astronomical phenomena several times, we can know that he is an unparalleled wizard by his On the Enemy of the Country.
"On the Country" analysis: "Today, he and I have spread the country to the world, that is, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the six countries had the potential to merge, so they could be the king of literature, but the Han ancestors were difficult. When I moved before, I moved after a few times. Therefore, Mr. Tang and I can't win by fighting. You should cherish the people's labor and judge the situation. You will be killed if you are in a hurry. Although there are wise men, you can't do it. " So he sighed sadly: "Recently, the imperial court indulged in debauchery and trusted Huang Hao, regardless of state affairs, only seeking happiness;" Bo Yue's conquest is tiring and he doesn't care about the sergeant: the country will be in danger! "
This is Shu's most farsighted analysis, which is related to the later development of the situation. The country is being eroded at all, but Jiang Wei didn't start by trying to get rid of the villains around the emperor, but stayed away from Liu Chan, making the Sichuan soldiers and civilians who were already dissatisfied with Liu Chan more and more at a loss; Even when Zhong Hui captured Hanzhong and Deng Ai attacked Chengdu, the people of Sichuan were welcomed by the people, even worse than when Liu Bei captured Chengdu. Therefore, Qiao Zhou's so-called "national peril" is to the point. I'm afraid Liu Chan and Jiang Wei will each bear half the responsibility for national subjugation.
However, Jiang Wei angered Qiao Zhou: "This is also a pedantic theory!" Even Zhuge Liang was dissatisfied with Qiao Zhou's prediction: "I was entrusted to orphans by my late emperor, so I will try my best to get rid of thieves." How can I create a false atmosphere of disaster to waste national affairs? " !
When it comes to changing people's minds, Li Yan comes to my mind first. When Zhuge Liang trapped Sima Yi, Li Yan lied that Wu Dong was prepared to attack because it was unfavorable to buy grain and grass. Later, he was almost beheaded by Zhuge Liang, because the ministers begged for it.
Why is it not conducive to buying grain and grass? None of the three countries mentioned it. But we can guess the truth from some clues.
Li Yan is the most important minister who entrusted orphans. Zhuge Liang is well aware of this. When Meng Huo went south, he said: "Wu Dong made peace with China, so it is expected; If there is infidelity, Li Yan is in Baidicheng, and this person can be Lu Xun. " This sentence reveals the power of Li Yan. Therefore, it is not a question of ability, nor is it a question of enemy confrontation, nor is it that Li Yan deliberately betrayed or had enemies with Zhuge Liang. There is only one reason, that is, it is impossible for so many troops to buy food and grass in several times; To this end, officials begged Li Yan's seal, but no one dared to undertake this important task, or Li Yan's son Li Hui took over this hot potato for his father.
Zhuge Liang has been very kind to the people of Sichuan, but Jiang Wei is different. As Qiao Zhou said, "I'm tired of conquering, and I don't care about the sergeant", while Liu Chan "indulged in debauchery, trusted Huang Hao, ignored state affairs and only wanted happiness". The sufferings of the Sichuan people in the past decades have all been vented in the form of welcome. With the rapid demise of Shu, the Li Yan incident is doomed.
(2) Introduction
Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times, and Jiang Wei cut the Central Plains nine times; The figures alone show how determined Jiang Wei is to carry forward Zhuge Liang's legacy. Sun Tzu's art of war said: once assembled, once failed, then exhausted. It can be seen that if you can't gain something in the previous few times, then you will face either failure or cruel tug-of-war. Comparing Zhuge Liang's and Jiang Wei's Northern Expeditions, we found that the first few won and lost each other, while the last few lacked only luck. What makes them so similar to the failure of the Northern Expedition?
There is only one reason. I am superior to my opponent in strength, but I can't know myself and myself at first, and I have the mentality of underestimating my enemy. After several contests, the monarch and his subjects were no longer full of confidence in victory, and they missed great opportunities again and again for their own reasons. This is the case with double agents, and so is Li Yan. There is a simple reason. If they are convinced that victory is in sight, no matter how big the reason is, they will not easily let the Northern Expedition Division go back. Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Jiang Wei and Wargo all followed this standard trajectory.
Zhuge Liang first explored the Central Plains in the north. When there was only an isolated city in Tianshui, he was defeated twice because he underestimated Jiang Wei. The second time was the most dangerous failure except being trapped outside the city. In retrospect, Guan Yu and Liu Bei both died of underestimating their enemies, and Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei almost died of underestimating their enemies. Reduce the enemy, from Guan Yu to the end of national subjugation.
Similar countermeasures have similar results, and the result is one. In the face of loyalty to Liu Chan and mastery of fighter planes, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei both chose the former. Zhuge Liang learned that Meng Da was going to be defeated when Sima Yi was reinstated. He analyzed and said, "Sun Tzu's Art of War says,' Surprise, surprise'." Is it expected to be in January? Since Cao Rui has appointed Sima Yi, he will be removed as long as he meets the enemy. Why does he want to know about it? If we knew that Mengda had rebelled, the soldiers would have arrived in 10 days. Can you be caught off guard? "It is known that Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei are not unaware of their own recruitment. They are just facing Liu Chan, worried that they will not withdraw, and the bad king will be unfaithful; Neither Zhuge Liang nor Jiang Wei can break through the obstacle of abolishing the monarch, especially Jiang Wei, who will directly face the suspicion of intentional rebellion. Liu Chan was emperor for more than forty years, and Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei were trapped for more than forty years.
(3) At the time of national subjugation
Seeing the demise of Shu, what impressed me the most was that Wargo succeeded in stealing a level playing field and was grateful for the stone tablets and empty villages left by Zhuge Liang. Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui will not consider stealing level tone. However, Zhuge Liang confessed on his deathbed: "There is no need to worry about all the roads in Shu; You must be careful only in a flat place. Although this place is steep, it will be lost for a long time. " Jiang Wei will never forget Zhuge Liang's last words. Jiang Wei retreated to Jiange, and Dong Jue said, "Although this pass can be kept, I will fight for Chengdu to be empty; If attacked by the enemy, the general trend will collapse. " Yue Wei said: "Chengdu is a dangerous and steep place, so you don't have to worry." This mentality led Jiang Wei not to think about Kong Ming's last words, and Wargo made this great contribution.
Briefly review the whole process of national subjugation.
Wei Chu ordered Wargo to lead more than 100,000 people to live with Jiang Wei, and Zhong Hui led 200,000 to 300,000 to attack Hanzhong. Jiang Wei of Shu sent troops to apply to the former master, who listened to Huang Hao and the witch and was noncommittal.
In the development stage, Ai successfully infiltrated Jiang Wei, which made Zhong Hui get Hanzhong smoothly. Shu successfully escaped and retreated to Jiange, leaving him together.
At the climax, Ai successfully sneaked into Chengdu. Zhuge Zhan died in Jiange and surrendered.
In the end, Wei Ershi contended, and Si Mazhao plotted behind; Shu Jiangwei failed in his last attempt. Three people died, and Shu was destroyed.
Or the beginning of Sun Tzu's art of war: one effort, then decline, three times exhaustion. Wei Bing went all out to destroy Shu. Linked to the brilliant victories of the previous Northern Expeditions in Xishu, the country's demise can only be found from its own reasons.
Along this route, we can clearly see that the reason of Shu's national subjugation lies not in Wei's strength and Jiang Wei's incompetence, but in his fatuity; Then it gives people a feeling that Shu's national subjugation was predestined, and the reason is simpler, because since it was illegal to abolish the monarch in that year, as long as there is this monarch, national subjugation is inevitable. What can Jiang Wei change? Si Mazhao, on the other hand, was much more honest and bluntly said, "Even if Zhu Gekongming were here, it wouldn't help him for long, let alone Jiang Wei?"
With the wisdom of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei, it is impossible not to know this truth. Zhuge Liang was left behind by Liu Bei. Help if you can, or stand on your own two feet if you can't. When Zhuge Liang was around, Liu Chan began to look stupid; With the death of his father, Liu Chan's stupidity began to become obvious. Openly favoring eunuchs, even though he knew that Huang Hao had committed the crime of deceiving the monarch and spurned his ministers, he still excused him. Later, since he believed in the witch, he even delayed military affairs.
Zhuge Liang warned Liu Chan many times and punished the villains around him many times, even Jiang Wan and others were no exception, and even Liu Chan felt great pressure and shame. But Jiang Wei can't even help a villain around Liu Chan. The stupidest thing is to go out to avoid disaster, which is the direct reason why Bo Huang openly recommended witches.
Liu Chan gives the impression that he is not fit to be an emperor, and he may prefer to be a civilian without responsibility. If someone suggested that Liu Chan would gladly hand over the throne, and Liu Chen, the king of the northern land, was more suitable to be emperor, and the last sage would not become the king of national subjugation.
It's not that Wei and Wu have never had a king of subjugation, but that Wei has maintained the country's strength through Sima's autocratic power, while Wu has made the regime transition to Sun Xiu's hands by repeatedly eliminating the disorderly ministers and deposing the faint king, so both countries have got a much better fate than Shu. Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei were much more loyal than Sima Dingfeng, but their country ended in such a tragic ending. The word "foolish loyalty" is harmful. They really can't jump out of the shackles of feudal thought?
It is said that according to Kong Ming's last words, Liu Chan added Jiang Wan as prime minister and general to record history; Increasing expenses is the order of the minister, and so is the prime minister; Add Wu Yi as a general riding a bike, and supervise Hanzhong in a fake festival; Jiang Wei led Han, Hou Pingxiang and Taishou out of Hanzhong with Wu Yi as a precaution. The remaining distribution schools will remain in their posts.
It can be seen that Zhuge Liang's thought is to let Jiang Fei and Jiang Wei handle politics and military affairs. But Zhuge Liang made a big mistake, that is, Jiang Fei and his wife could not restrain Liu Chan, and there was a precedent; Besides, Jiang Fei was old, and when he died, no one around Liu Chan could convince him. However, Zhuge Liang did not leave corresponding binding laws, nor did he set a strict bottom line for Liu Chan. Once the warning was touched, officials would depose him. To make matters worse, Zhuge Liang's people all inherited his stupid and loyal thoughts, especially Jiang Wei, because Zhuge Liang was dead set on Liu Chan and let Liu Chan push the country to the brink of extinction step by step.
The main reason for the country's demise lies in Liu Chan's fatuity; Liu Chan's stupidity stems from the stupid loyalty of his ministers; However, the loyalty of princes is rooted in the seeds planted by Zhuge Liang; It can be rudely asserted that the national subjugation began with the example of Zhuge Liang's foolish loyalty!
Foolish loyalty is the main cause of Zhuge Liang's national subjugation that he never dreamed of. However, at this point, Zhuge Liang cannot shirk part of the responsibility for national subjugation.
Zhuge Liang has this three lost, which makes people feel distressed. I can't help saying that success is also Zhuge, and failure is also Zhuge.
