At the end of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the problems accumulated by the Shu kingdom for many years erupted like a volcano, the faint pleasures of the later lords, the dictatorship of the eunuch Huang Hao, the general Jiang Wei wanted to go north, and the local forces of the Shu state also began to rise (led by Li Yan, Fei Yi, etc.), and the four forces did not go to the same place at all. In 263 AD, Sima Zhao sent troops to attack the Shu state, but the major forces of the Shu state still did not realize the danger coming, knowing that Deng Ai flipped through the shu state barrier and attacked the city of Yizhou, at which time Liu Chan hurriedly prepared to resist. However, it was too late, and he listened to the rumors of the eunuch Huang Hao, believing that once the war began, the people in the city of Shu would inevitably be implicated, and it would be better to surrender directly.
The Shu state, which had stubbornly fought against Cao Wei for fifty years, surrendered because of a rumor from Huang Hao, and if Liu Chan and Liu Chanquan met, they did not know how to explain it to his father. Many people attribute the decline of the Shu kingdom to the withering of talents, which is indeed true, but this is not the root cause of the extinction of the Shu kingdom. In our cognition, it seems that in the late Shu Kingdom, only Jiang Wei alone can carry the banner of the Shu Kingdom, but in fact, there was another person who could resist Cao Wei at that time, and if he could lead the army to go out on the expedition, he would certainly be able to support the shu kingdom!
His name was Huo Ge, and unlike other Shu generals, he was a second generation soldier! Because when the Shu Kingdom was digging up talents, it was different from the Wei Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom, Sun Quan liked to cultivate the princes of the family clan, because he valued the origin of the Mendi more! Cao Cao liked to cultivate the younger generation of the Cao and Xiahou clans, after all, this was his own army. Liu Bei cultivated the descendants of fierce generals, because the father was excellent, and the probability of giving birth to an excellent son would be greater.
Huo Ge's father, named Huo Jun, was originally a fierce general in Jingzhou, who once led an army of 800 people to hold the city for a whole year, and repeatedly defeated Liu Zhang's army that came to attack. Unfortunately, he died young, Liu Bei in order to show respect for this general, personally served him, but also took his young son to the palace, and cultivated with Liu Chan, he and Liu Chan can be regarded as a small hair grown up, the relationship is naturally not ordinary. Like his father, Hogo grew up to be a fierce general. When there was a rebellion in Yongchang in Nanzhong that year, Huo Ge personally led the elite troops to go there, and in less than a day, he wiped out all the rebels, which can be described as a heroic teenager!
Later, Zhuge Liang went on a northern expedition, and Huo Ge went with him, and Zhuge Liang was very fond of this "second generation of the army", and repeatedly personally taught him the Qi men and the Five Elements of Gossip, and the platooning of troops, and his wisdom and martial arts were not under Jiang Wei. Zhuge Liang knew that Jiang Wei would take over the heavy responsibility of his Northern Expedition in the future, so he let Huo Ge return to the court as Jiang Wei's spokesman in the court, after all, Jiang Wei had been in the army for many years and did not know much about the major events in the court, and with Huo Ge as a transit station, he would certainly be able to get useful information in time.
However, Liu Chan seemed to know something, and deliberately sent Hogo to a remote area to guard the town. When Deng Aizhong would attack Yizhou, Liu Chan was still unwilling to trust this fa xiao and ordered him to stay still! After Liu Chan surrendered, Huo Ge was forced to surrender and defend Nanzhong for generations. If Liu Chan had asked Huo Ge for help at that time and let Jiang Wei resist in the Sword Pavilion, he would have been able to overcome the danger, but unfortunately he was a soft bone. According to the "Huaguo Tuzhi" record, Liu Chan thought of this zhen shou nanzhong hair before his death, and could not help but sigh with emotion, this is probably a fierce general left by Zhuge Liang to save his life, but unfortunately he has not used it!
