Recently, when people commented on the Three Kingdoms, they occasionally saw that it was unfair to accuse Zhuge Liang of making policy mistakes as the culprits of the Shu Dynasty. Specially for this article.
Since the Shu Han Dynasty, the regime that has emerged in Western Shu has no longer been able to confront the central government, but only local political power, and the unification of the central government is often like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, which can be said to be because there is no Zhuge Liang-like figure, and only Zhuge Liang and Li Ke can have an equal dialogue with the Central Plains in the land of one state. Zhuge Liang should be said to have brought into full play the greatest potential of the Shu state. He played an important role in the continuation of the National Border of the Shu State.
The accusation of Zhuge Liang's death of Shu focused on three things. First, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, second, and six out of Qishan to consume national strength, and third, the construction of talents in the late Shu Han Dynasty was ineffective.
Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou was a turning point in the decline of Shu Han from prosperity to decline, but there are three points that can justify Zhuge Ge, first, Guan Yu shou Jingzhou is the correct candidate, in fact, Jingzhou was lost during Guan Yu's departure. Choosing him to guard Jingzhou was the right one. Second, the situation developed too quickly at that time, and there was a crisis in Jingzhou only a few months after the Shu state of Northern Hanzhong, and the Shu Han had not yet had time to adjust its strategic focus and military deployment and equip Guan Yu with a reserve. Third, as an excellent politician, Zhuge Lusu probably had a tacit understanding, that is, when Wu Guo seized Jingzhou, both countries would lose the opportunity to compete for the world, and Shu Guo's defense of Jingzhou was a prerequisite for the development and destruction of Cao Wei by the two families, Zhuge Liang probably did not expect that Wu Guo would be so talented at this time with no strategic vision, and Li Lingzhi made up his mind, and after Wu Shu died, it can also be said that because Wu Guo was based on Jingzhou, it could not be used to fight for the world, and the Shu state left QinChuan without the Wanluo battlefield.
Six out of the Qi Mountains, Zhuge Liang's grain was only difficult to turnover, not in the shortage of quantity, the southwest was opened up, from having to use soldiers every year to be used to pay for the rear of the army, the cultivated land in the Shu kingdom and the population increased year after year, the war stimulated the need, which can be said to be a catalyst for the economy. Jiang Fei and others saw fatigue and did not see development, while Zhuge Liang was a great expert in balancing these two points. Since Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu state has been closed to itself for many years, the so-called Huang Laoqing quiet and indifferent, the economy has not seen development, only regression, it can be seen that negative policies are not necessarily a good way to develop the economy. And Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, more visible in his strategic vision, with the development speed of the Central Plains and the national strength of the Shu state, do not take positive measures only to perish, envision not to attack and develop more than the State of Wei, first, geographically not allowed, and second, even if it can develop a miracle, the State of Wei will not come in? It will not look at the Shu kingdom sitting on the big. Zhuge Northern Expedition, a certain believe that his ambition is not yet in the decisive battle with Wei, Longzhong has been unable to achieve, Western Shu is too closed, not a place of development, Zhuge Liang's strategy is about to seize Liangzhou, overlook Qinchuan, occupy the strategic commanding heights, and at the same time develop the Liangzhou area of Shangwu, as the basis for cutting Wei, and wei decisive battle, but also wait until ''Once the world changes'", such as Sima Cao Shuang became chaotic, Shuzhong later fang knew, it was too late to send troops, Liangzhou could hear about it and immediately take advantage of the opportunity. A certain person thought that Kong Ming's idea of a premature decisive battle was harmful, so he resolutely rejected Wei Yan's surprise attack plan, which was to have a showdown with Wei Guo, Shu Han did not have that strength, but there was no way to affect morale, so there was an explanation that could not convince the public. This is the difference between the vision of strategists and tacticians. It should be said that chuqi mountain and wei are a wonderful move to attack and defend.
As for the failure to realize the dream of restoring the Han Dynasty, the unfavorable strategic situation is one aspect, the Central Plains regime did not appear to be a fierce and vicious tyrant, tyranny is also a reason, the Tang Dynasty Li clan won the world, after Tang Shatuo entered the Central Plains, not so much that they were powerful, but rather that the Sui Dynasty, Later Liang was poor and extravagant, and the tyranny of the conquest gave way to the Jiangshan. Zhuge Liang's luck was not good enough.
To take the Western Shu to resist the world, and really make the Central Plains town as a great enemy, non-Zhuge can not do anything. Zhuge Liang not only bowed down to the best of his ability, but also took the most correct measures that could be taken at that time and wei and Wu circumvented, without Zhuge Ge, the Shu kingdom was destroyed for a long time.
It took a few folds to do things, and only then did he sympathize with Zhuge Liang so much. The so-called doer is much more difficult than the bystander. Remember that the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty Xiong Tingbi generation, although it is difficult to return and stand up as the northern mission, the Tun army is strong, the morale is boosted, the Ming army will be defeated by every battle, and there will be victories and defeats for each other, and the Manchus are the thoughts of breaking the whale. The bear has a small stone, often carrying it around, and playing with it every time. However, the iron armor of ice armor is not like the cold of the court. Officials did not practice military affairs, and eventually took the blame for Xiong Gong in the whole land, Chongzhen was impatient, and took xiong gong's unsatisfactory efforts as another Yuan Chonghuan. Xiong Gong was killed, and the first nine sides were passed. Collecting the bear's possessions, seeing this Yan, there is a self-seal, that is: "Self-crossing Liao, with Ru companions, grass army books, eternal night half, Yu Heart, only Ru see." ”
Yu thought that this would never be sung for eternity.
