If it is said that which dynasty in ancient China had the strongest national strength, it is estimated that the first choice for many people will be the Tang Dynasty. Indeed, in the history of China, the Tang Dynasty should be the most prosperous, especially the rule of Zhenguan in the Li Shimin period, which really enabled the people to live and work in peace and contentment, not closing their homes at night, and not picking up the roads. Therefore, Li Shimin was one of the most effective monarchs in the history of the Tang Dynasty and even China. So in the eyes of this emperor, what kind of character is Zhuge Liang?
As we all know, Zhuge Liang was a legendary figure in the Three Kingdoms period and left countless classic battle examples in his lifetime. The uninitiated Lu knew the three points of the world, and helped Uncle Liu Huang, who did not even have a place to live at that time, to establish the Shu Kingdom step by step, which can be described as a great contribution. However, there are also many people who believe that Zhuge Liang's advantage lies in politics, but in terms of fighting, it is not his strength, in fact, it is not, let's slowly analyze it.
Zhuge Liang was only twenty-seven years old when he came out of the mountain, and he was still a junior among the strategists in that era. Because most of the civilian warlords of the Three Kingdoms period began to gain fame after the age of forty, their careers began to develop. So for a young man in his twenties, even if you have the talent, you can only be called a hairy boy. Zhuge Liang did not care about these useless titles, and the first battle out of the mountain was the famous burning of Bowangpo. At that time, the vanguard of Cao Jun was the famous general Xiahou Huan, who couldn't stop laughing when he heard of Zhuge Liang's age, and promised Cao Cheng that if he could not obtain Liu Bei's head, he would raise his own head to plead guilt. It can be seen from this that he did not take Kong Ming in his eyes at all, but the price of despising the other military division was tragic, and a large fire in Bowangpo almost burned Xiahou Huan's vanguard troops, and he himself was wounded and escaped, fortunately Cao Cao did not blame him, but after this battle, the entire Cao camp remembered Zhuge Liang's name.
Zhuge Liang's way of using soldiers is not only reflected in the battlefield, but also in the hearts of the people. After Sun Liu's alliance was reached, Kong Ming crossed the river alone to Eastern Wu, and his talents soon gained the attention of Zhou Yu, the governor of Eastern Wu. After several battles, Zhou Yu knew that he was not Kong Ming's opponent, so he began to think of ways to get rid of him. Kong Ming naturally knew the attitude of the metropolitan governor towards him, but now the two sides were allies, so he had to try his best to maintain the balance between the two sides. After experiencing the straw boat borrowing arrows and the Seven Star Altar Sacrifice Wind, Zhou Yu was completely enraged, he thought that Zhuge Liang was not a human at all, he was a monster at all, such a person stayed, if the Sun Liu Alliance broke down in the future, then this person would pose a great threat to Eastern Wu, so he must be eliminated in the State of Wu, Kong Ming of course knew that his situation was in danger, so after the sacrifice, let Zhao Yun take himself back. After the return, Kong Ming naturally could not spare Zhou Yu, he knew that Zhou Dadu's qi was small, so he staged a good play of three qi Zhou Yu, and the result was that Zhou Dudu really won the plan, and after the three qi died young, Wu Guo lacked a top pillar, when the Wu generals gritted their teeth to kill Zhuge Liang, Kong Ming knew that sun and Liu alliances would definitely break down, and as a result, another Wolong hanging filial piety was staged to re-save Sun Liu's alliance, which showed that Kong Ming's psychological tactics were equally clever.
Also thinking that Zhuge Liang was close to the demon was Wang Lang, a staff officer of the Cao Army during the Northern Expedition, when in front of the two armies, Wang Lang Situ planned to use three inches of non-rotten tongue to make Kong Ming shy and retreat, the idea was good, but he chose the wrong opponent, Kong Ming was a bold speech at that time, shaking Wang Situ's family bottom clean, directly scolding the seventy-year-old Wang Laozi to vomit blood, returning to the army and whining for his life, Wang Lang can be said to steal chickens and not to eat rice, and used his ignorance to achieve Kong Ming's strength.
If anyone could stop Kong Ming during the Northern Expedition, it was estimated that only Sima Yi was there. In fact, Sima Yi's strength is not as good as Kong Ming's, but Sima Yi's superiority is that he has a good mentality, he does not care about the insults and provocations of the Shu army, and has always adopted the tactic of closing the door if he can't fight, because he knows very well that grain and grass are the biggest weakness of the Shu army, so he adopts the tactic of killing you if he can't die, even so, he was still calculated by Kong Ming several times, and he also suffered a lot of defeats before the battle, which shows that Kong Ming's strength in fighting is extraordinary.
Li Shimin, the king of Tang, once expressed his unique views on the Northern Expedition, he believed that Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang were both wizards, but at that time, the national strength of the Shu state and the Wei army were incomparable, and the number of the Shu army was not one-third of the Wei army, but in this case, Zhuge Liang's six northern expeditions still brought heavy damage to the Wei army, and finally Sima Yi did not dare to fight, and chose to avoid the battle in the case of superior numbers, which showed that Zhuge Liang was very good at fighting.
It can be seen from this that Zhuge Liang not only can fight wars, but also uses soldiers like gods, and it is difficult for the world to meet opponents, but he has devoted his life to reviving the Han Dynasty, so his Northern Expedition is doomed to fail, because history will not go backwards, and even if there is talent, it will not be able to stop the advance of the wheel of history.
