On the day I was ordered, I was restless and unwilling to eat. Reflections on the northern expedition. It is advisable to enter the south first.

Second, translation.

When I accepted the appointment, I couldn't sleep well and had no taste in food. If you want to go to the northern expedition, you should go to the south first. Therefore, crossing the green river in May and going deep into the barren land, you can only eat one meal for two days; It's not that I don't cherish myself, but that I saw that the business of the imperial court could not be preserved in Shu, so I risked my life to carry out the last wish of my late emperor, but people who argued said it was not the best policy.

First, the creative background

This article is contained in the memoirs of Zhang Yan, a native of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. It is generally considered to be the work of Zhuge Liang. It is considered as the 6th year (228) of Jian Xing in Shu Han Dynasty, which is one year later than the previous model. At this time, Zhuge Liang's first northern expedition to the Central Plains did not achieve the expected results. In order to remove all obstacles, Zhuge Liang gave this "example of latecomers" to Liu Chan before the second Northern Expedition.

Second, the appreciation of works

In The Last Teacher's List, Zhuge Liang demonstrated that the Han thieves were divided, and the enemy was stronger than me, and explained to the later master that the Northern Expedition was not only to realize the last wish of the first emperor, but also related to the life and death of Shu Han, and could not be shaken by the different views of "negotiators". It is precisely because this watch involves the analysis of the military situation and the safety of Shu Han that its loyalty and heroism seem to exceed that of the "former model".

The sentence in the table, "Do your best until you die", is exactly the loyalty oath that the author revealed at that time, which makes people respect.
