In the hearts of many people, the Three Kingdoms is the most wonderful historical period in Chinese history, because in that era, Liu Bei counterattacked from a stall vendor to become an emperor, Zhuge Liang assisted the lord from a rural village to achieve the imperial cause, and there was the most wonderful victory over the strong with the weak, and also had the most wonderful magic and magic calculations.
In the novel, Zhuge Liang's wisdom is only associated with the trick, when Sun Quan proposed to let Liu Bei go to Eastern Wu and marry his sister Sun Shangxiang, in order to lure Liu Bei of a party of princes away from his territory, so as to detain him in Eastern Wu, Zhuge Liang specially gave Zhao Yun three tips, let Zhao Yun open them in turn when he encountered difficulties, and later returned to Jingzhou with Liu Bei safely and unimpeded.
Later generations thus had the idiom of "tips and tricks", which was often used to describe people's magic calculations, and later some military division-level figures who had watched the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" also followed Zhuge Liang's method and sent themselves "wonderful tricks" written on their subordinates, but the strategies inside were often not quite right, and they could not accurately cope with the situation, but they became a laughing stock.
According to the historical records, Zhuge Liang actually had many tips for clever tricks, not only when he was alive, he was able to accurately judge the direction of the event, so that he could instruct the generals to take appropriate measures, even before his death, he could also foresee some of his posthumous events, so that he could make some arrangements in advance, so that he could go more peacefully.
Since Zhuge Liang met Liu Bei at the age of 27, he was bent on "reviving the Han Dynasty", even though Liu Bei had died and had been entrusted to him by the whole country, he was always loyal and loyal, did not have the slightest covetous heart for the throne, but worked hard to improve the strength of Shu Han, and wanted to truly restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, and also had five Northern Expeditions to Cao Wei.
Because the national strength of Shu Han was only one-tenth of That of Cao Wei, and the number of his talents was far from enough, so that although Zhuge Liang had won many small victories, he did not shake the foundation of Cao Wei, and he worked harder to do this, which the history books called "everything is no big and small, all decided by the light", and at the same time he ate very little, and after continuing for a period of time in such a high-intensity and high-pressure state of life, Zhuge Liang finally accumulated fatigue.
In 234, Zhuge Liang, who led the army on the Fifth Northern Expedition, was seriously ill in Wuzhangyuan and died of this, leaving a will and testament to the changshi Yang Yi before his death, Yang Yi followed the plan and successfully scared away Sima Yi of Cao Wei, thus leaving behind the legend of "dead Zhuge walking alive Zhongda".
What is less known is that before Zhuge Liang died, he not only left a will for Yang Yi, but also secretly left a bag for the lord Liu Chan, but Liu Chan was puzzled after opening it, and it was written that "four people carried the coffin, went south, and the rope was broken and buried", that is to say, do not make a big fuss about his funeral, just use four people to carry the coffin to the south, and when the rope is broken, it will be buried.
Although Liu Chan did not understand, but also did so, but when the four soldiers carrying the coffin returned half a month later, they were immediately ordered to be killed by Liu Chan, on the grounds that the rope would not be broken at all in such a short period of time, at that time there were many people who were very inexplicable about the tips left by Zhuge Liang, until a thousand years later, everyone suddenly realized that the original north at that time was popular because of Cao Cao, and Zhuge Liang used four people to randomly bury himself in the south, that is, not to let his cemetery be discovered, thereby reducing the risk of theft.
