Zhuge Liang was the most legendary figure in the Three Kingdoms period, and he single-handedly put the helpless Liu Bei on the throne and established the situation of the Three Kingdoms. Even after Liu Bei's death, during Liu Chan's reign, the internal winds and rains of the Shu state were still smooth, and Zhuge Liang's contribution was indispensable.
But Zhuge Liang, who was full of skills, died early at the age of 54, and before Zhuge Liang died, he claimed that he should have lived to be 83 years old, all because of these three things, he lost a full 30 years of Yang life.
Fire to the vine armor soldiers
Zhuge Liang experienced many battles in his life, and unlike other generals, Zhuge Liang was the best at using the natural environment to conquer the enemy army in addition to his vast martial arts. But things sometimes went beyond Zhuge Liang's control, and the burning of the vine armor soldiers became an eternal pain in Zhuge Liang's heart.
After Liu Bei's death and Liu Chan's succession, Zhuge Liang began to develop the country steadily, and for a time, there was a situation of peace and prosperity in Shu, but this scene became a situation that did not dare to take the initiative in the eyes of others, so that they had different thoughts, including Meng Yu in the southwest region.
Meng Yu was known as the King of southern man, sitting on an army of 100,000 in the southwest region, and Meng Yu and his soldiers were brave and powerful, so they took this opportunity to attack the Shu state. As a military officer of the Shu state, Zhuge Liang should fight for the war.
In order to conquer Meng Yu in one fell swoop, Zhuge Liang was ready to defeat Meng Yue's confidence once and for all, so every time he defeated Meng Huo, he only grabbed and did not kill, so that Meng Yu could make a comeback. In less than a year, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Yu six times, which made Meng Yu very unhappy, so in the seventh battle, Meng Yu sent the elite of the clan: the Tengjia soldiers.
Meng's rattan armor soldiers are each covered with the hardest rattan armor, this kind of rattan armor is long between the stone walls, very hard, after the collection, but also soaked in oil for more than half a year, so that the rattan armor produced is not only invincible, but also can float on the water, when fighting can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of soldiers.
However, Zhuge Liang soon found that even after treatment, the vine armor still could not change the essence of the vine armor, that is, it was not fireproof, so Zhuge Liang let Wei Yan deliberately lose the battle, led the vine armor soldiers to the Pan Snake Valley, and directly burned a fire to kill a total of thirty thousand vine armor soldiers.
When proposing this countermeasure, Zhuge Liang did not think much about it, but when Zhuge Liang saw the moment when the vine armor soldiers were ignited, he was also afraid and directly shouted "great damage to my yin morality", the original vine armor could not be extinguished after burning up, plus the vine armor itself was very strong, even if it burned up, it could not be taken off.
The Pan Snake Valley thus became a purgatory for thirty thousand vine armor soldiers, and the shouts at that time were overwhelming and tragic, and the warriors did not dare to look at the valley, which made Zhuge Liang lose a full decade of Yang Shou.
Burning Chibi
If the burning of the fuji armor was only a small battle, then the burning of Chibi, stretching for seven hundred miles, was a large regiment, and it was also the most regrettable thing in Zhuge Liang's life, and he had said before his death that if he had known the outcome earlier, that battle would rather concede defeat than choose this way.
Before burning Chibi, Zhuge Liang had used a plan to "borrow" a whole hundred thousand arrows from Cao Cao, and already owed a great deal of human affection, while in the Battle of Chibi, the burning of Chibi was slaughtered after indebtedness, and the real murderous heart made Zhuge Liang dare not forget it in his lifetime.
At that time, Cao Cao attacked Chibi, bringing almost all the main force, known as 800,000 troops, although this number is a bit exaggerated, but at least 400,000 soldiers are there, and in addition to the soldiers fighting on the ship, boatmen, cooks, etc. are countless, and the total number of people is at least more than 600,000.
Because all of Cao Cao's ships were connected with iron cables, when a ship burned, all the ships were ignited instantly, and those that were not ignited could not escape, which created a tragic image that people who could not swim could only watch the fire attack and be burned alive.
Those who can swim, unless the fire is just lit when they swim away, otherwise they can not escape the day, after the warship is ignited, the temperature of the water surface will be very high, people will be burned alive in the water, burning Chibi This battle, Zhuge Liang at least killed 200,000 people, again subtracting his ten years of life.
Flooded the White River
In addition to using fire, Zhuge Liang is also a master of water use, because he knows a lot about climate, terrain, etc., and Zhuge Liang has also used water attack. After burning Xinye, the distraught Cao army, led by the defeated general Cao Ren, rushed to the White River to prepare for a short rest, but unexpectedly Zhuge Liang calculated that he ordered Guan Yu to open the floodgates upstream to release water, and tens of thousands of Cao troops drowned.
These three battles are all classic battles in Zhuge Liang's life, but at the same time, they are also the three things that Zhuge Liang regrets the most in his later years, Zhuge Liang was sick and disaster-free, but he suddenly died at the age of 54, perhaps it is really as he said, because of these three things, Yang Shou lost a full thirty years, and then he died young.
Even Zhuge Liang's use of the Seven Stars to continue his life was prevented, and it seems that Zhuge Liang's life expectancy is already doomed, even if Zhuge Liang has great skills, he cannot continue his life.
There is another theory about the mystery of Zhuge Liang's life span, Zhuge Liang could have lived longer, but Zhuge Liang lived one more day, which means that the Shu Kingdom can last for one day.
Whether it was the burning of the vine armor or the battle of Chibi, they were all in the middle of the battle, even if the battle was fierce, it would not violate yin morality, but the killing disaster was different from that of ordinary people, Zhuge Liang sent Wei Yan to Chengdu in order to recover Chengdu, and confiscated the print of Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang did not have much ability to resist this matter, and Zhuge Liang did not take it seriously, but soon after Wei Yan arrived in Chengdu, there was a shocking news that shocked Zhuge Liang, and Wei Yan actually took Zhuge Liang's orders and killed Liu Zhang's family, which was against Yin morality.
In Wuzhangyuan, Zhuge Liang's Seven-Star Continuation Technique was originally impeccable, but at the most critical time, Wei Yan broke in, destroyed Zhuge Liang's continuation of life, and forced Zhuge Liang's ritual to be interrupted and seriously injured.
This technique was very important, Zhuge Liang specifically ordered no one to disturb before starting, but Wei Yan broke in, as if he wanted to deliberately sabotage the casting of the spell, it can be said that Zhuge Liang's life died at the hands of Wei Yan.
However, according to modern science, the main cause of Zhuge Liang's death is still overworked, after Liu Bei's death, almost all the affairs of the Shu kingdom were taken care of by Zhuge Liang alone, plus when he was young, he ran east and west, and many years of patients broke out at the same time, and Zhuge Liang's death was also reasonable.
