Zhuge Ke was the nephew of Zhuge Liang, the famous Chancellor of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. For Zhuge Liang, some people have an evaluation, which is more accurate: good at governing the country, not good at leading soldiers; There is the power of Xiao He, but there is no talent of Han Xin; He was a first-rate politician, but only a second-rate military man.
Zhuge Ke
Zhuge Liang's nephew Zhuge Ke was the son of Zhuge Liang's younger brother Zhuge Jin. This guy was definitely a gifted kid when he was a kid. According to records, when Zhuge Ke was still very young, about seven or eight years old, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, held a banquet and feasted on his courtiers. Zhuge Cherished his son and took Zhuge Ke with him to the banquet, hoping that Zhuge Ke would see the world.
During the banquet, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, came up with a prank on Zhuge Jin," and he ordered someone to lead a donkey and write the four words "Zhuge Zi Yu" (Zhuge Zi Yu) on a white note. Zhuge Jin is not very handsome, his face is long, and he looks a bit like a donkey's face.
After the banquet began for a while, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, ordered someone to lead a donkey. Qunchen did not know what medicine Sun Quan was selling in the gourd. Sun Quan, the king of Wu, ordered people to hang a note with the words "Zhuge Ziyu" written on the donkey's face. The courtiers were first a bunch,
When I woke up, I burst out laughing! When King Wu saw the crooked courtiers smiling from side to side, he couldn't help but think of a spoof and a crooked trick for himself. Zhuge Jin was a loyal and honest man, and he was beaten and wicked on weekdays, and when he saw that King Wu ordered people to lead a donkey, he himself, like all the courtiers, did not know it. However, after seeing that King Wu ordered people to hang a note with the words "Zhuge Ziyu", he woke up to the fact that King Wu was mocking himself for looking like a donkey. But because it was King Wu who took himself to make a shabu, Zhuge Jin was not angry, and he had to accompany him to a few dry laughs. Who let himself be angry and give birth to a long face?! But Zhuge Jian's son, Zhuge Ke could not look at it anymore, and many people mocked their father in public, and they mocked his father with a donkey. For the young age of Ke, is it tolerable, mature is intolerable?! So he asked the banquet guests for a pen, took the liberty of running to the donkey, added two words "donkey" under the note with "Zhuge Ziyu", and then returned to Zhuge Jin with a little arrogance.
Wu Wang Sun Quan, still immersed in the excitement after the spoof, was very interested, and his intentions were not exhausted. Suddenly, I saw the Zhuge family boy running out and scratching the donkey noodle note twice, what did this kid want to do? King Wu was a little displeased, and taking a closer look, the four words "Zhuge Zi Yu" on the original donkey noodle note were changed to six words "Zhuge Zi Yu's Donkey", and King Wu and the ministers could not help but clap the case and exclaim, Zhuge Ke This boy is too smart! King Wu immediately rejoiced in the dragon's heart and gave this donkey to Zhuge Ke.
Perhaps it was through this experience that Zhuge Ke's reputation in the Kingdom of Wu was greatly enhanced. Many people praised Zhuge Jian for having a good son. However, the so-called Zhizi MoRuo's father, when "Ke is rarely famous, and the emperor is deeply instrumental", Zhuge Ke deeply thinks that it is filtered. He said, "You are not the head of the family." In modern parlance, Zhuge Jin believed that Zhuge Ke would be a loser.
Compared with his uncle Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Ke's intelligence and ability are definitely not below Zhuge Liang, but this person's emotional intelligence is too low, he is self-centered everywhere, and he does not know how to worry about other people's ability to feel and bear. Lu Xun, the famous general of the Wu Kingdom, said to him, "You are angry at it, and you mean to despise it below, and you are not the foundation of Ande!" "He despises the leadership from above, and looks down on the masses, and no matter how capable this kind of person is, he can't achieve great things, and Zhuge Ke is such a person.
Two. Cheng Ye Sun Jun
In the first year of Wu Shenfeng, Emperor Wu Sun Quan was old, the crown prince Sun Liang was young and weak, and Sun Quan wanted to find a chancellor. Wu Zhongshu ordered Sun Jun to strongly recommend Zhuge Ke to Emperor Wu. Sun Quan was very sympathetic to Zhuge Ke's ability, but Emperor Wu Sun Quan also knew very well that Zhuge Ke was self-conscious and could not unite the masses, so he did not dare to entrust zhuge Ke with the heavy task of assisting the crown prince.
Sun Jun, however, was iron-hearted and recommended Zhuge Ke to Emperor Wu, and he said to Sun Quan, "Among my courtiers, who can compare with Zhuge Ke?!"
In Sun Quan's mind, Zhuge Ke was a capable courtier, and he was a person who compared his abilities with Zhuge Ke in terms of ability, at least Sun Quan did not find out, so under Sun Jun's repeated recommendation, Emperor Wu summoned Zhuge Ke to join the dynasty.
Zhuge Ke was at this time in Wuchang, and the general Lü Dai was his immediate superior and elder. When Zhuge Ke was doing something for himself, he said to Zhuge Ke, "The state affairs are difficult, and you should think twice before you act!"
This Lü Dai said is more exaggerated, the ancients said that it is okay to think twice before doing things, but Lü Dai wants Zhuge Ke to think ten times before acting. The so-called advice is good for the ear, which is good for Zhuge Ke's illness, but it is not in line with Zhuge Ke's appetite, so he
In return to Lü Daiyun: "The ancient sage said to think twice before acting, the master said to think again, and the current general should think twice before acting, which shows that I am too much worse than the ancients, and I should be careful to remember it!"
Zhuge Ke said a word, said Lu Dai speechless. A few months later, Emperor Wu's sun collapsed, and Zhuge Ke worshipped him as a taifu, "All things are unified with Ke. "The power of the State of Wu, large and small, was concentrated in the hands of Zhuge Ke.
After Zhuge Ke took office, he did several good deeds that made the people praise, such as "striking off the audio-visual, (singing, singing and dancing) and stopping the school officials." (Unnecessary military service) "Except tariffs, Chong'enze" and so on. Moreover, the implementation of the new policy is so strong that many people can hear, see and feel it. For a moment, "The crowd was displeased."
At that time, there was no such thing as a poll, and if there was, we would see that after Zhuge Ke was in power for half a year, during the political secret month between Zhuge Ke and Wu Guojun, the popular support for Zhuge Ke was greatly increased.
Zhuge Ke, the political star, shone brightly on the land of the Wu kingdom. Many Wu people worship Zhuge Ke and chase Zhuge Ke as a star. Some people waited in the places where Zhuge Ke often passed, and the purpose was to see Zhuge Ke. "When you come and go, the people will look at it with their necks stretched out."
Three. Defeat also Sun Jun
For people like Zhuge Ke, governing the country may be a piece of cake. In just a few months, Zhuge Ke kept the not-too-small State of Wu in a tight and orderly manner.
In December of the first year of Wu Shenfeng's reign, the People of Wei thought that "Sun Quan was old, had no virtuous heirs in his interior, and had no masterminds in the middle." "So I decided to go south to woo Wu."
When the State of Wei decided to cut down Wu, Sun Quan was already 71 years old at the time, which was indeed too old. By the time the Wei soldiers reached the north of the Yangtze River, Sun Quan was already dead. This news made the generals of the Wei state go crazy with joy.
The successor emperor, Emperor Wu Guoxiao, Sun Liang, was only 11 years old, and the number of virtuous and unwise was not counted. At least by the standards of the time, the country was troubled and had no longevity, which was not a blessing for the country!
At this time, Zhuge Ke bravely stood up and became the backbone of the Wu Kingdom. He quickly mobilized Wu Guoneng's troops to fight, (only more than 40,000 people) took the initiative to go north to meet the Wei army.
Because Zhuge Ke had a good dispatch and a proper use of personnel, the generals of the Wu army used their lives, and in the end they actually defeated more than 70,000 Wei troops with 40,000 troops. "Thousands of carts, cattle and horses, mules and donkeys, and mountains of capital. Return home. ”
Zhuge Ke's prestige in the State of Wu at this time can be said to be like the sun in the sky. But the so-called bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. A Wei man who was thousands of miles away predicted that Zhuge Ke's good days would not last long.
This man was Zhang Ji, the Grand Master of the Guanglu Dynasty of the State of Wei, who said to Sima Shi, a great minister of the State of Wei at the time: "Although ke has made great contributions to Wu, he has not long been able to see the curse!"
Sima Shi asked, "He Ye!"
Zhuge Ke was a pillar of the Wu kingdom, such a pillar of the country, the Wu people should worship him like a bodhisattva, why would they kill him? Zhang Ji said, "If you threaten your master and build a country, why should you not die quickly?"
Sima Shi did not quite believe Zhang Jizhi's analysis, but Zhuge Ke's future encounters fulfilled Zhang Ji's words. When this Zhang Ji analyzes Zhuge Ke's possible fate, he does not know much about Zhuge Ke's personality; He is aware of the experiences of history, of some historical figures who had the same experience as Zhuge Ke, such as Han Xin. Therefore, he said that Zhuge Ke would "see the curse", which is more likely to be based on "historical knowledge". Because of the victory in resisting the invasion of the Wei people, Zhuge Ke had a wrong judgment: The state of Wu should strike iron while it was hot, carry out the Northern Expedition, sweep the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and unify China.
For the Northern Expedition of the State of Wu, from the perspective of war, as long as the preparation is sufficient and there is enough strength, the Wei people can go south, why can't the State of Wu go north?
Zhuge Ke's uncle Zhuge Liang carried out several Northern Expeditions that were controversial at the time and in the eyes of future generations. But because before each Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang had a deliberate plan; Then there is the mobilization of war, at least guaranteed
The image comes from the Internet
Among the courtiers of the Shu Kingdom, they could unify their thinking. Once the war began, Zhuge Liang strategized, deployed troops, took steps into battalions, and sympathized with the soldiers, so even if he could not reap great achievements, he could retreat with his whole body.
Zhuge Ke was much worse than his uncle, and when he had not yet unified his thinking in the country of Wu, he arbitrarily ordered a large-scale northern expedition of 200,000 troops.
On the way to the army, Zhuge Ke was arrogant and domineering to his subordinates, regardless of whether the soldiers were dead or alive. A large force attacked Yangzhou New City, (a small city guarded by only a thousand people) The troops could not take it for a long time. At this time, it was summer, and there was another epidemic, and the soldiers were "too sick, and the dead were on the ground." ”
During a Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang also encountered a nest of a small city that tens of thousands of people could not conquer, and the State of Wei only had more than a thousand guards. But Zhuge Liang, with his modesty, prudence and compassion, resolved the resentment of the soldiers.
Zhuge Ke, on the other hand, knew that he had miscalculated, but he entrusted himself to others. Unable to organize a new attack, Zhuge Ke ordered his troops to retire and return to China in the name of receiving an edict from the emperor.
Back in Jianye, Zhuge Ke summoned Zhongshu Ling Sun Jun, and Li Sheng said to him, "Why would Qing wait for him to issue a summons in vain?!"
Zhuge Ke asked Sun Jun if he dared not answer.
For this so-called call of the Little Emperor of wu. It may be Zhuge Ke's left and right, asking the little emperor to come forward,
Give Zhuge Ke a step down. So I gave him a letter of recall. If Zhuge Ke was really smart, after returning to the Kingdom of Wu, he would not have been so skilled. Then he arbitrarily ordered the cutting of Wei, and suffered a serious defeat in this matter
The State of Wu may be kept as a state secret for a decade or two.
But Zhuge Ke was too proud, and he couldn't admit that he had failed to cut Wei. Therefore, he was entrusted with the Zhongshu Order for issuing the summons without authorization.
And he sent out harsh words, to punish Sun Jun and others with felonies!
Zhuge Ke was arrogant and had forced himself into a dead end. It was already full of danger, but he didn't know it!
