When I was a child, I listened to the commentary of "Three Kingdoms" and only loved to listen to the first half, because there were five tiger generals and Zhuge Liang, and the Shu kingdom won consecutive battles, and I listened to it. After the death of the Five Tiger Generals, the talents of the Shu Kingdom withered, Zhuge Liang was difficult to support, even if there were thousands of clever plans, his men had no ability to implement them perfectly, and as a result, they were defeated one after another, and finally became the first one to perish in the Three Kingdoms.
In real history, Guan Yu Zhang Fei and others died one after another, and after Liu Bei and Eastern Wu turned against each other, it became a turning point in the fortunes of the Shu Han Dynasty. Since then, the situation of talent shortage in the Shu kingdom has become increasingly serious, the situation of talent faults is grim, and the overall situation of military and political affairs is almost all supported by zhuge Liang's strength. Even though Zhuge Wuhou was a genius in the world, as the saying goes, a good man and three gangs, without a right-hand man, can only sigh in vain.
Due to the weakness of the Shu Han state and the shortage of talents, Zhuge Liang had to broaden his vision of selecting and promoting talents. Wei Guobing was brave and brave, and his good generals were like clouds, and soon became his talent candidate area. The first Wei Guowu to serve the Shu Han would be Wang Ping. As early as Liu Bei commanded the Battle of Hanzhong, he submitted to Shu Han, but for many years lived in the shadow of the Five Tiger Generals. After the death of the Five Tiger Generals, Wang Ping gradually entered the upper echelons of the Generals of the Shu State with his outstanding talents and extraordinary courage.
In the Battle of Jieting, Ma Mo did not listen to Wang Ping's advice, resulting in a crushing defeat and was beheaded by Zhuge Liang. Although Wang Ping was defeated, he reduced his losses to a minimum, which attracted Zhuge Liang's attention. After that, Wang Ping was promoted all the way and became an independent member. After Zhuge Liang's death, Wei Yan rebelled, and in a critical moment, Wang Ping decisively intervened and foiled Wei Yan's rebellion. When the State of Wei launched a major attack on Hanzhong, Wang Ping once again stepped forward and led a weak force to hold the Pass, repelled the Wei soldiers, and made great contributions to the State of Shu.
Later, in the Battle of Tianshui, Zhuge Liang was given the wei general Jiang Wei. Zhuge Liang had a keen eye and was eclectic, and after realizing Jiang Wei's military talents, he immediately let it go and reused it, making him the commander of the Shu Han after Zhuge Liang, and with his outstanding military talent, he alone undertook the key mission of guarding the Shu Han and opposing the powerful Wei state. He was loyal and good at using soldiers, and once became a great enemy of the State of Wei. Without him, Shu Han would probably have perished 20 years in advance.
When Jiang Wei presided over the overall situation, he also recruited a Wei general Xiahou Ba. Xiahou Ba was the son of The Famous Cao Wei general Xiahou Yuan, and had the legacy of his father. However, in the State of Wei, due to Sima Yi's father and son coming to power, he monopolized the imperial program and persecuted Cao Cao's descendants and the generals of the Xiahou clan. Xiahou Ba, unwilling to be mutilated by them, was forced to be helpless, and defected to his father's enemy, where he was warmly welcomed by Jiang Wei and Liu Chan, who granted him the important position of general of the Che Rider and became Jiang Wei's right-hand man. He was familiar with wei's internal conditions, and repeatedly contributed ideas and suggestions in Shu Han's conquest of Wei, becoming an important figure in Jiang Wei's core think tank.
