The moment Zhang Gao was shot by a random arrow, Zhuge Liang knew that he had been tricked, and this person was not easy to deal with
Introduction: Cao Cao can become the overlord of the Three Kingdoms In addition to his own great talent, his advisers and military generals are indispensable. In his early years, Xun Yu helped Cao Cao with his advice, swallowing the entire Central Plains with a small Chen Liu County, while also collecting a large number of military generals. Xiahou Yuan, as Cao Cao's clan general, followed him in his southern conquests and northern battles for decades and made countless achievements, because he was good at long-distance raids and was known as the General of Qianli. Zhang Gao led the crowd to surrender at the Battle of Guandu, not only helping to win the Battle of Guandu but also following Cao Cao to pacify Xiliang, and even when Cao Wei resisted Zhuge Liang in the later period, he also performed extremely well, and was finally shot by Zhuge Liang's random arrows. Why did Zhuge Liang say that he had been tricked at the moment he shot Zhang Gao? It turned out to be the man's fault, because he was so hard to deal with! Who is this person and what happened? Let's move on.
Zhang Gao fought in Yongliang for many years, and was entrusted with heavy responsibilities by Cao Cao because of his military achievements, and Cao Pi continued to uphold Cao Cao's policy during his lifetime, continuing to let Zhang Gao oversee the Yongliang military. After the death of Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang took power, and after the fierce army and horses, he began the Northern Expedition. Because of the preparation and surprise, this war allowed Shu Han to take three county towns in the Longxi region, when Zhang Gao immediately saw that the weak point of the Shu army was in the street pavilion, so he led a large army to attack the street pavilion to turn the tide of the war, not only regaining the lost territory but also forcing Zhuge Liang to retreat, and also declaring the defeat of the shu Han's first Northern Expedition.
Zhuge Liang deliberately chose the direction of Qishan during the Northern Expedition again, and he had originally thought of unexpectedly attacking the two county cities of Tianshui and Anding, but was recognized by sima Yi, the commander of the Wei army, so Sima Yi defeated Zhuge Liang by relying on the strong superiority of the Wei army. However, at this time, Sima Yi ordered Zhang Hao to send troops to chase after him, saying that he wanted to give him this great merit. Although Zhang Hao did not want to attack, Sima Yi was the commander of the army, and his orders were naturally to be obeyed. But what he did not expect was that he was ambushed by Zhuge Liang in the wooden doorway and was killed by random arrows. But the moment Zhuge Liang saw Zhang Gao's death, he also knew that he had been killed, and sima Yi borrowed a knife to kill people!
Both Sima Yi and Zhang Gao were high-ranking generals of the Wei army, and there was no contradiction between them, but why did Sima Yi want him to die? In fact, this stemmed from Sima Yi's ambitions, when Cao Pi was reigning, he had essentially become the leader of the Wei civil officials, and now he could touch the army, which also gave him the hope that their family could go to a higher level. Because Zhang Gao had served in the Yongliang Army for a long time and had a very high prestige here, If Sima Yi wanted to completely control the army, Zhang Gao continued to get rid of it, so he designed to kill people with a knife.
Let's take a look at the situation after Zhang Guo's death in battle, because the Yongliang Wei army lost this main backbone and was then divided by Sima Yi, the generals who defected to Sima Yi could continue to serve, and those who opposed it would be beheaded for various crimes or sent to death. After several wars, he not only changed the blood of the army, but also determined his absolute rule over the Yongliang army, so that he and Zhuge Liang had repeatedly tugged each other, and many times they did not obey the king's orders, because at that time, the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui had no way to take him. Zhuge Liang was well aware of Sima Yi's cunning and ambition, and knew that he was the most difficult person to deal with among Cao Wei!
Conclusion: We have a saying called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, and Zhang Gao is such an example. Yuan Shao was counterattacked by Cao Cao after losing his troops, and Cao Wei was defeated by Sima Yi's family after he lost Zhang Gao. No wonder Cao Cao called him a famous general who could rival Gu, and Liu Bei was obsessed with not being able to kill Zhang Gao before his death.
