Zhuge Liang was a statesman and military figure during the Three Kingdoms period. Although zhuge liang's strange plot was described in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as short, slightly insufficient, and his political ability was higher than his military ability; most of Zhuge Liang's five northern expeditions were fruitless, and he was criticized by many people. However, the editor believes that Zhuge Liang is a well-deserved military expert, and he cannot blindly follow Chen Shou's evaluation and deny Zhuge Liang's military ability. Although Zhuge Liang did not achieve his goal during the Northern Expedition, according to the course of the war, Zhuge Liang was still able to suppress Sima Yi. At least in the training and use of regular soldiers, Zhuge Liang was superior to Sima Yi.
Zhuge Liang's military career
In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang has just been invited out by Liu Bei, and he uses a clever trick to burn Bowang, repel Cao Ren, and intimidate Guan and Zhang. But in fact, this victory was Liu Bei's handiwork; in the novel, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu jointly broke Cao in the "Battle of Chibi".
But in fact, the "Battle of Chibi" had little to do with Zhuge Liang, and if we had to say it, only Zhuge Liang persuaded Sun Quan to unite with Liu Bei. After the "Battle of Chibi", Liu Bei attacked Jingnan and regarded Zhuge Liang as an administrative talent. “
Adjust their taxes to replenish the army.
”
Liu Bei was determined to eliminate Liu Zhang, and also took Pang Tong into Shu and left Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou.
Of course, this situation does not mean that Zhuge Liang's status is not high, and the small editor only objectively expounds that Zhuge Liang really did not have any battles to fight in the early days, and was basically responsible for logistics.
After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang seized the military and political power of the Shu Han Dynasty, pacified the Central Plains of the Southern And Northern Expeditions, and finally exerted his military ability.
However, Zhuge Liang's first battle was not to pacify Nanzhong, but to enter Shu to pacify the counties and counties and assist Liu Bei in the siege of Chengdu. In this battle, Zhuge Liang, as the commander, led Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Liu Feng and others to complete the task. The following small editor will talk about the beginning and end of this battle.
The background in which the battle took place
When Zhuge Liang entered Shu, it naturally occurred after Liu Bei completely turned his face to Liu Zhang and began to eliminate Liu Zhang, which was the big background. So how far has the war been?
In the seventeenth year of Jian'an (i.e. 212 AD),
Liu Bei adopted Pang Tong's strategy and booby-trapped yang Huai and Gao Pei, the generals of Baishui Pass, on the pretext of returning to Jingzhou, and began to march to Chengdu. Liu Bei successively attacked FuXian and Mianzhu,
In this process, due to the surrender of Wu Yi, Li Yan and others, Liu Bei's army became stronger and stronger, and continued to march towards Chengdu, attacking the last line of defense in Chengdu- Luocheng.
It was during this time period that Zhuge Liang and others entered Shu from Jingzhou along the waterway.
Many people think that Zhuge Liang's entry into Shu occurred after Pang Tong's death in battle and took over Pang Tong's work. Not really.
These two pieces are indeed relatively close, but in terms of time period, Zhuge Liang entered Shu earlier than Pang Tongzhan died.
And the routes of the two sides are different,
Liu Bei fought from Ye Mengguan to Luocheng and from north to south; Zhuge Liang fought from Nan County to Brazil.
Qianwei, Deyang and other places, from east to west to north,
It coincided with Liu Bei in Chengdu. Therefore, Zhuge Liang's entry into Shu at this time could not replace Pang Tong's position and advise Liu Bei under any circumstances.
The process of Zhuge Liang and others entering Shu
1. Capture of Berkshire
Zhuge Liang and others led an army along the waterway into Shu, first to capture Ba County, which was between Jingzhou and Xichuan waterway traffic.
Who The Berkshire Taishou is is, there are different accounts in different historical sources. In the "Huayang Guozhi", it is recorded that the Taishou of Bajun was Zhao Zhen at that time; in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the "Zizhi Tongjian", it is recorded as Yan Yan. However, it does not matter who Berkshire Taishou is, anyway, the final result is that Zhang Fei defeats Zhao Zhen and Yan Yan and conquers Berkshire.
Second, divide the troops into three roads
After Ba County arrived, what was presented to Zhuge Liang was the developed waterway transportation network within Yizhou, with more choices for the direction of attack. So Zhuge Liang and others divided the troops,
Zhang Fei went north to attack Bashi County; Zhuge Liang was responsible for attacking Deyang; Zhao Yunxi attacked Jiangyang and Qianwei.
Zhang Fei's attack on Bashi County, which protected Ba County, a transportation hub, could also send troops to Chengdu; Zhuge Liang's attack on Deyang was approaching Chengdu; And Zhao Yun's attack on Jiangyang and Qianwei cut Chengdu off from south and central, threatening Chengdu from south to north. It can be said that Zhuge Liang's military operations after entering Shu, combined with Liu Bei's pressure from north to south, could compress Liu Zhang in the Chengdu area.

The course of the battle
In the process of Zhao Yun taking Jiang Yang and Qian Wei, it seems to be very smooth, and there is no major obstacle (at least Xiaobian did not find relevant historical materials, if any, please ask the Fang family to correct); Zhang Fei's attack on Brazil was also very smooth, and Cao Gongchen of The Basis County took the initiative to rebel against Liu Zhang and meet Zhang Fei.
However, on the road of Deyang, Zhuge Liang received a lot of resistance.
Liu Zhang's general Zhang Yi led an army to guard Deyang against Zhuge Liang's attack. Zhuge Liang would not be able to conquer it for a moment and a half. Combined with the two records in the "Huayang Guozhi Liu Ermuzhi" that "Zhang Yiliang of Sima Shu County under zhang's account, defeated by Moxia, and returned by the yi" and "refusing Zhang Fei to be under Deyang And defeating the army" in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Shushu Zhang Yi biography", it can be concluded that Zhang Fei, after capturing Bashi County, in turn helped Zhuge Liang defeat Zhang Yi and capture Deyang.
Post-war results
Jiangzhou (Ba County), Langzhong (Bashi County), Deyang, Jiangyang, and Qianwei were destroyed one after another, and Luocheng was later attacked by Liu Bei, and Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei jointly besieged Chengdu. Chengdu still had a certain combat strength at this time, and if Liu Bei chose to attack hard, I am afraid that it would cost a lot of money.
Ma Chao's defection from Zhang Lu to Liu Bei brought a new turning point for the elimination of Liu Zhang.
Liu Bei secretly gave Ma Chao an army and made him suddenly appear outside Chengdu. This "fresh force" completely crushed Liu Zhang's resistance psychology, so Liu Zhang chose to surrender, Liu Bei occupied Xichuan, took over Liu Zhang's forces, and initially completed the "cross-jing, beneficial" proposed in the "Longzhong Pair". ”
Summarize and reflect
After Zhuge Liang and others entered Shu, Lianke County, and finally joined forces with Liu Bei to besiege Chengdu, forcing Liu Zhang to surrender. So to speak,
Zhuge Liang's first independent battle after leaving the mountain completed Liu Bei's requirements, but in the specific implementation process, he did not behave so satisfactorily.
Because in the course of the battle, Ba County and Bashi County were taken by Zhang Fei; Jiangyang and Qianwei were taken by Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang himself did not capture Deyang, but still relied on Zhang Fei to help. Although Zhuge Liang was the manager, this still could not change the fact that he was rejected by Zhang Yi in Deyang.
In fact, from the perspective of a small editor, Zhuge Liang is not a military wizard from the mountain, after all, Zhuge Liang has always been "cultivating in Nanyang", although he will definitely study and communicate with other Jingxiang people, but he is still at the theoretical level and has not been in direct contact with war; after turning to Liu Bei, most of the work is also in the diplomatic, political, and logistical fields, and there is no single army to attack the city.
From Deyang Buke; to the perfect quelling of the Rebellion in Nanzhong; to the failure of the misuse of horse rumors in the First Cut; and then to the suppression of Sima Yi by virtue of the Fifth Cut
(Although Zhuge Liang did not annihilate Sima Yi's army, nor did he succeed in crossing the Weishui River north to cut off Longshan, it can be inferred from the battles of Duweishui attacking Beiyuan and Duwugongshui advancing eastward that Sima Yi could only very passively shrink his defenses and cede the area south of Weishui and west of Wugongshui to Zhuge Liang).
Zhuge Liang's military ability was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It can be seen from this that a genius like Zhuge Liang, if he wants to truly become a handsome talent, he also needs to be tempered in actual combat.
