At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was divided into three kingdoms, and the so-called chaotic world produced heroes. During the turbulent Three Kingdoms period, there were many heroes haojie. Among them, there are famous generals on the battlefield, such as Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Lü Bu, who are all Haojie who are inseparable from guan. But it is not they who really dominate the battle. Instead, in the midst of planning, decisive victory over the military divisions thousands of miles away. After all, the two armies have always competed with each other in the art of war.
When it comes to the most famous military division in the Three Kingdoms period, I think many people will first think of Zhuge Liang, who is known as "Wolong", right? Zhuge Liang was originally a native of Langyayang, Xuzhou, and traveled to Jingzhou with his uncle Zhuge Xuan in his early years. Later, when his uncle died, Zhuge Liang went into seclusion in the Longzhong area. While reading and studying, while farming life.
In 207 AD, Liu Beisan invited Zhuge Liang out of the mountain under Gu Maolu. From then on, Zhuge Liang saddled up and took revenge for Liu Bei's restoration of the Han Dynasty. It's just a pity that Zhuge Liang was not available. Until Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang's six Northern Expeditions between the sixth year of Jianxing (228) and the twelfth year of Jianxing (234) were fruitless. Eventually, he also died of illness in Gojohara during the last Northern Expedition.
Many people who have been very familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms may blame liu Bei's son Liu Chan for part of the failure of the Northern Expedition. After all, when Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan for the fourth time, Liu Chan listened to the rumor that Zhuge Liang wanted to become emperor sooner or later. He actually ordered Zhuge Liang to retreat and return to the dynasty, hindered by the pressure of grain and grass, and Zhuge Liang could only obey the order, which also made Sima Yi, who was under pressure, breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Feng was originally the son of Luo Hou Kou,therefore not biological, according to the tradition of the feudal dynasty, it was impossible to ascend to the throne, Liu Yong was said to be the son of Empress Mu, so he was Shu Chu. Liu Li was also born the same way, so only Liu Chan was the most suitable successor. After all, in ancient times, there was a tradition of establishing a concubine to grow up and not to be a sage.
On June 10, 223, before Liu Bei died, he entrusted himself with the White Emperor's city and instructed Liu Chan to worship Zhuge Liang as his father. According to historical records, the early days of his ascension to the throne were "political affairs without big details, salty and determined by the light." Zhuge Liang also knew in his heart that at this time, Liu Chan was not yet capable of controlling the government of the Shu state, and once the Shu state was released, it would not be far from extinction.
Therefore, all along, Liu Chan was an emperor who did not have much real power. Moreover, the soldiers and horses of the Shu State were all in the hands of Zhuge Liang. Although temporarily on the front line against the State of Wei. However, as long as Zhuge Liang had the slightest antipathy in his heart, he could pull Liu Chan off his horse at the snap of his fingers.
So much so that until Zhuge Liang's deathbed, Liu Chan said a word, which made Zhuge Liang sweat straight on his back. After learning the news that Zhuge Liang was critically ill, Liu Chan asked his subordinates to pass on a message to Wuzhangyuan and asked Zhuge Liang: "After you die, how should your heirs be arranged?" The clever Zhuge Liang naturally felt Liu Chan's intentions.
The meaning of this sentence is "who will take over your power after you die", Zhuge Liang sighed darkly, bowing for the Shu kingdom or inevitably being suspected of fate. So on his deathbed, he wrote a letter back: "There are eight hundred mulberry trees in the courtier's house, which is enough for my children and grandchildren to eat and drink", in short, to let Liu Chan reduce his descendants to commoners in order to save the lives of the old and the young. After explaining this matter, Zhuge Liang died soon after, at the age of 54.
