Zhuge Liang was loyal to Shu Han, he also had two brothers, why were he loyal to the State of Wei and the State of Wu respectively?
Introduction: The Three Kingdoms period pays attention to origin, and the stage of this era is also the stage of the warrior clan, when Cao Cao started the army, his cousin Cao Ren brought thousands of people to join, and soon after, the two brothers of the Xiahou clan also brought thousands of people to defect, which also allowed Cao Cao to quickly dig the first pot of gold. After taking Yingchuan, he also received the help of many Yingchuan shi clans, providing Money and grain to Cao Cao and also sending a large number of talents to Cao Wei, helping Cao Cao to firmly control the entire imperial court, and also laying a solid foundation for Cao Pi's usurpation of Han later. When Sun Ce raised an army, he also made irresistible conditions for the Jiangdong Shi clan, and was willing to share power with the Shi clan, which also allowed him to quickly control the entire territory of Jiangdong. Zhuge Liang himself was also from the Langya clan, and he also had two brothers, but why didn't he support one master together, but three of them were loyal to different forces? Today we're going to talk about that.
The first is the eldest brother Zhuge Jin, who is older than Zhuge Liang and debuted earlier than Zhuge Liang. At that time, after he had succeeded in his studies, he originally wanted to go north to join the imperial court, but at that time, Yuan Shao was carrying out the Battle of Guandu with Cao Cao, and the whole Central Plains was bloody, so Zhuge Jin followed his classmates to Jiangdong for refuge, and was also recommended to Sun Quan at this time. At that time, Sun Quan had just ascended to the throne and wanted to cultivate his own people, just in time to see Zhuge Jin erudite, and then threw an olive branch at him. Zhuge Jin found that Sun Quan was very far-sighted and the prospects depicted were also very good, so he joined the Eastern Wu town camp and became the mainstay of Eastern Wu.
Zhuge Liang is well known to everyone, and Liu Bei's first military master Xu Shu told Liu Bei before leaving that he must get Zhuge Liang's help, and Sima Hui, a famous soldier in Jingzhou, also told Liu Bei that if he got Zhuge Liang, he would be able to stabilize the world. So Liu Bei took two brothers and three Gu Maolu to impress Zhuge Liang with sincerity, which also opened his counterattack road. Zhuge Liang first helped him formulate a strategic plan, and later helped him take Jingzhou and Yizhou; after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang continued to assist the later lord Liu Chan in ruling the Shu state, although in the case of Liu Chan's inaction, he could still go on the Northern Expedition many times, greatly extending the life of Shu Han, for which Zhuge Liang also became a representative of the perfect person.
Zhuge Liang's younger brother Zhuge Jun joined Cao Wei when Liu Bei was the King of Hanzhong, and at first Cao Cao was very happy to receive his surrender, because Cao Cao thought that Zhuge Jun would have the same abilities as Zhuge Liang. However, after a period of time, it was found that Zhuge Jun's ability was average, and his self-motivation was insufficient, so he was transferred to be a county commander. Zhuge Jun did not express any dissatisfaction, but only conscientiously did his part, and at the same time lived a life in the Cao Wei camp.
In fact, they do this to maintain the continuation of the family, why do they say so? When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, their family already knew very well that the world might be in chaos, so the family moved to the relatively stable Jingzhou for refuge. The later result was the same as their family expected, Langya was ravaged by the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the people's livelihood in Jingzhou was stable, and the three brothers of Zhuge Liang also grew up in a stable environment. It is said that the three caves of the cunning rabbit, the three of them naturally will not support a master, since Zhuge Jin chose Eastern Wu, Zhuge Liang also fell in love with Liu Bei's camp, then the remaining Zhuge whether he wants to or not, he can only rely on Cao Wei.
Conclusion: Let's take a look at the subsequent development, Zhuge Liang can be described as a power in shu han, and he himself became the actual ruler of Shu Han, and his son Zhuge Zhan also became the second person in the Shu army in the later period. Zhuge Jin was a mainstay of Eastern Wu throughout his life, but his son Zhuge Ke had become a powerful vassal of Eastern Wu in the later period. Although Zhuge Junyi was plain, it opened up branches and leaves for the Zhuge family, and future generations have been peaceful and peaceful, greatly extending the life span of the Zhuge family.
