Zhuge Liang was a military master of the Shu state during the Three Kingdoms period, known as a divine scheming, and the monarch of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, experienced the "three requests to invite this god man out of Wolong Mountain and seal him as a confidant, often discussed military affairs with Liu Bei, and made a lot of outstanding military achievements for the Shu Han, such as: good governance of the Shu land, and the invention of wooden cattle flowing horses to help the Shu army increase production, inventing the more modern weapon Zhuge Lian crossbow at that time, and so on.
In fact, there are many versions and records of Zhuge Liang's prophecies and schemes in later generations, but most of them are false rumors, and as far as the so-called "two fires" or "two soldiers" prophecy is concerned, it is more likely to be rumored (artistic processing). But that doesn't stop us from taking the matter out for appreciation today.
The legend of this story occurred before Zhuge Liang was about to die (and it was also rumored that it was at the time of his war with the other two), when the military representatives of the enemy country found a sentence on a boulder in the Shu land after breaking through the blockade line of the Shu state: "Someone crossed this at the beginning of the second fire, and the two soldiers soon died." It is this sentence that leads to our next story.
First, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui said
At that time, there were two generals of the State of Wei who were fighting against the State of Shu, they were Deng Ai and Zhong Hui, as the saying goes, there can be no two tigers in the Israeli army, and the coexistence of two tigers will definitely disturb the order and combat effectiveness of an army, perhaps Zhuge Liang saw this and wrote such a prophecy, or perhaps he expected that the capital of the State of Shu was attacked by the State of Wei, but no matter how it is said that the later State of Shu was indeed attacked by the State of Wei.
Legend has it that deng Ai found this prophecy, at that time because the Wei army could not break through the previous defense line of the Shu state for a long time, in order to be able to quickly break it and return to the dynasty as soon as possible, the general Of Wei Deng Ai personally led 2,000 soldiers to take the initiative to encircle the capital of the Shu state from the small road, and finally captured the Shu state, (in fact, in the rumors of this story, some people said that Zhong would laugh at Deng Ai's unwiseness on this ground) But in the end, Deng Ai finally conquered the Shu state and conquered the capital. (There was also a time when "the second fire was first revived and some people crossed this, and the two soldiers soon died of their own lives.") That's what Deng Ai saw. ）
Later Zhong Hui was very extreme of Deng Ai's deeds, and was afraid that his merits would be swallowed up by this person, so for his own benefit, Zhong Hui at that time thought of using Deng Ai's actions after the destruction of the city to impeach him (Zhong Ai, after the destruction of the city, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, he arbitrarily rewarded the officials of Shu Han, although this was a temporary practice, but he was disgusted by General Sima because he touched the act of exceeding his authority) After deng Ai was ordered to return to China and handed over his monarchy to Zhong Hui. Later, Zhong Hui also wanted to take advantage of this attack on the Shu state to carry out a mutiny, but later he was killed by a subordinate general who led the army to supervise the army and reported it to General Sima in time; this move caused the two meritorious ministers who had originally taken the lead in attacking the Shu state to be severely damaged and both suffered blows, which is the so-called "two soldiers fighting for balance and soon dying". And the second fire is worth it is the hot year at that time.
Vulnerabilities in it
According to the development of the story route, Deng Ai attacked the capital of the Shu Kingdom through a small road, so if Zhuge Liang really expected it at that time, why didn't he take measures against such a loophole in advance and arrange for heavy troops to guard it? This series of problems is a bug in this fable. Even if Mr. Zhuge had died when this story happened, Mr. Zhuge s last words would have focused on this matter, (and as long as Zhuge Liang confessed, the officials of the Shu State would certainly do as usual, because of the authority accumulated by Zhuge Liang) This side will not lose the capital city in the Later Shu Congress because of others because of the surprise attack of the trail (you must know that at this time there are still 100,000 troops in the Shu Kingdom outside as a reserve force, plus the natural danger of Shu Land, It's not hard to continue to defend) So this prophecy seems to me to be processed artistically and not through history.
