As we all know, before Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang for help, Zhuge Liang had already completed his life's work. The so-called self-cultivation, qi family, governance of the country, peace in the world. At this time, Zhuge Liang was waiting for the opportunity to make a career in this chaotic world. Since you want to do a career, you have to find a partner. The reason why Zhuge Liang was young was that he was famous in the local area was due to this relationship of his father-in-law. Zhuge Liang's father-in-law was none other than the local celebrity Huang Chengyan, a local celebrity, and Sima Hui and Liu Biao, a celebrity from Jingzhou, were his good friends and had a good friendship in private. Zhuge Liang also quickly became famous by relying on his father-in-law's connections.
In 208 AD, Liu Bei was thirsty for a sage, and he finally impressed Zhuge Liang, so there was the story of Wolong out of the mountain, reviving the Han Room, and toiling all his life. And Liu Bei was able to find Zhuge Liang in the case of such an underdeveloped communication medium, which was advertised for him by his father-in-law. However, in the end, it is still necessary to rely on real ability. Zhuge Liang was only 27 years old when he first prepared to go out of the mountain. Therefore, the Cao Wei general Xiahou Huan did not take him seriously. Soon after, Zhuge Liang let him learn a lesson in Bowangpo and burned more than 60,000 soldiers and horses. The fire also attracted Cao Cao. However, although Cao Cao was a tyrant at that time, Zhuge Liang was not afraid of him. Moreover, everything was ready, and only he was owed.
So what is Zhuge Liang's countermeasure?
The first: it is to unite Wu against Cao", this idea is in line with Sun Quan's teacher Lu Su. Apparently, Zhuge Liang personally went to Eastern Wu, and the purpose of the tongue war group was to persuade them to fight against Cao Thief together. Later, fortunately, many parties helped Cao Cao to return in Chibi. Liu Bei, with the help of Zhuge Liang, smoothly occupied Jingzhou. It is said that after Liu Bei got Jingzhou, the next target was Yizhou, so Zhuge Liang proposed to "advance into Xichuan". Despite the loss of Feng chi in this war, Liu Bei eventually won in 214 AD and took Yizhou.
Later, Liu Bei spent three years recuperating, sitting in Jingzhou and Yizhou, and has become a hegemon. At this time, Liu Bei's power reached its peak. Therefore, he planned to fight Cao Cao in 217 AD and eventually defeat Cao Cao in 219. This war is the famous Battle of Hanzhong in history. However, it didn't take long for Liu Bei to make bad luck. First Guan Yu was defeated and died, and later Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates due to personality reasons. Liu Bei temporarily damaged two generals, and in a fit of rage, decided to avenge his brother, at this time he did not take Zhuge Liang's advice, and finally fell into Lu Xun's plan, fled to the White Emperor City, and was ordered by Zhuge Liang. Not only did he not take revenge, but he also took his own life. In this war, the strength of the Shu Han was much worse than before, and the heavy responsibility of reviving the Han Chamber also fell on Zhuge Liang's shoulders.
In the battle of Liu Bei, the strength of Shu Han was damaged. The Shu Han had to adopt a policy of recuperation. And the military division also has a rare rest time. During this period, Zhuge Liang also had a rare reunion with his wife Huang Yueying. It was during this time that he finally had his own child with Huang Yueying. Previously, Zhuge Liang wholeheartedly assisted Liu Bei, and since he decided to fight with him in the world, he and his family were gathering less and leaving more. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang again devoted himself to assisting Liu Chan in helping him govern the Shu Han region, while at the same time thinking of recovering the restless ethnic minorities.
From 228 to 234, Zhuge Liang was in charge of military affairs, wars, and the Northern Expedition, which made Zhuge Liang's body very weak, even serious enough to eat. Unfortunately, he eventually died of illness in Gojogahara in 234 AD. After Zhuge Liang's death, Shu Han, from the officials down to the people, missed him very much and remembered his decades of hard work.
Before Zhuge Liang's death, he passed on his life's learning to Jiang Wei. He was instructed to mobilize his troops against the State of Wei at the appropriate time. In 234, Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan was only 7 years old. As a father, Zhuge Liang was busy with military affairs for many years, so he could not teach his son. Later, he wrote the Book of Commandments to encourage him to work hard to become a talent, which has been passed down for more than 1,000 years.
On the other hand, after Zhuge Liang's death, it is said that his wife did something that made 4 million people in Shu Han praise. So we can't help but ask, what the hell is going on? According to historical records, Huang Yueying had always encouraged her son Zhuge Zhan to be like her father, loyal to the country, and able to achieve the word loyalty and filial piety. We all know that a mother's words and deeds have a profound impact on the child. Educating his son to be loyal and filial, it is no wonder that the people of Shu Han praised him.
