The water rolling in the east of the Yangtze River, the waves exhaust the heroes. Success or failure turned to the sky, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. White-haired fisherman on the river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze... "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
With the sound of the song of "Rolling Water in the East of the Yangtze River", the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" also kicked off. A sage with a lupine scarf also appeared slowly in a "wheelchair" shaking his fan, and he was Zhuge Liang.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang is a "god-like" being, with a lupine scarf and ashes. It is worth mentioning that some friends also have some doubts about Zhuge Liang, why is Zhuge Liang obviously in good health, but he always sits in a wheelchair when he appears?
In fact, this contains a deep meaning, or it is the most admirable place of Zhuge Liang, the place where the enemy feels afraid. Today, we will talk about this topic...
Zhuge Liang's "Empty City Plan"
Friends who are familiar with Zhuge Liang must have a very good understanding of stories such as "Three Gu Maolu", "Grass Boat Borrowing Arrows", and "Burning Bowangpo". However, among Zhuge Liang's many deeds, the most talked about is the "empty city plan", which is also Zhuge Liang's most risky one.
At the beginning of the story, Sima Yi, carrying the power of great victory, prepared to take advantage of the victory to pursue the retreating Shu army, after all, they had already taken the street pavilion before this, and now it was a good time to continue to attack Xicheng with a single blow.
At that time, Zhuge Liang had no soldiers, no horses, no grain and grass in his hands, which could be described as the "three noes" general, and the people under his hands also persuaded him to abandon the city and escape. However, Zhuge Liang said: "Abandon a city today, and lose a city tomorrow, and if this continues, our capital will be gone." ”
Zhuge Liang's words also awakened his men, and everyone was ready to defend the Western City to the death and not give way. Although everyone has the courage and determination to die, reality always gives people a blow, they only have a mere 2,500 people, and Sima Yi's army is menacing, with a total of 150,000 troops, and the gap between the enemy and us is really huge.
At this time, Zhuge Liang said that it must be false not to be afraid, but as a manager, he naturally could not panic. He shook the fan, and he shook a good idea, Zhuge Liang asked the soldiers to open the city gate, and then all the guards hid.
He sent only a few old and weak women and children to clean the city, which meant that he would clean the city and invite the king into the urn. Zhuge Liang himself was sitting in a wheelchair at the head of the city, playing the piano while making tea, which was not comfortable.
After coming to Xicheng, the sound of the piano was melodious and gentle, but in Sima Yi's ears, it seemed to be a clarion call for life. After the song was played, he came to the city gate in a wheelchair, and while shaking the fan, he looked outside the city, as if he could not wait for Sima Yi's army to arrive.
Sima Yi suffered Zhuge Liang's losses many times, and this time he was not deceived in any way, he knew that Zhuge Liang was not a man who was not prepared for the battle, Zhuge Liang must have arranged an ambush in the city, so it must be unfavorable to him to rush to attack, so he ordered the 150,000 troops to withdraw.
Zhuge Liang's wheelchair
Seeing such a scene, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief and found that his legs were numb. The soldiers guarding the city cheered and respected this resourceful military master, and the story of the "empty city plan" has been passed down to this day.
According to legend, Chai Shao in the Northern Song Dynasty also used this trick to escape from danger when he was surrounded by the Tuguhun army, and the "empty city plan" also became one of the strategies of soldiers and soldiers, which was rumored to be divine, which showed its brilliance.
Then again, Zhuge Liang sat in a wheelchair and shook a fan, but he scared away Sima Yi's 150,000 troops, mainly taking advantage of Sima Yi's suspicious personality, of course, the wheelchair is also one of Zhuge Liang's key props.
We often see Zhuge Liang appear in a wheelchair, and many people may simply think that he is just inconvenient for his legs and feet, but this is not the case. Really smart people, every arrangement has a purpose, including a wheelchair.
The name of the wheelchair is the modern people's saying, in ancient times it called the wheelchair as a car, the use of the two is similar, are used to help the old, weak, sick and disabled people go out. On the battlefield, soldiers generally ride fast horses, after all, they have to charge into battle.
Generally speaking, the car is actually for injuries, pushing the car to walk up, although the speed is slower, but relatively stable, the wound recovery is good. So, what is the function of Zhuge Liang's wheelchair?
The role of Zhuge Liang's wheelchair
First, Zhuge Liang sat in a chariot every time he marched and fought, which was equivalent to telling the soldiers, although you can rest assured to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, your military division is with you, and we will never leave a single soldier behind.
After all, if you really want to escape, Zhuge Liang can't escape in a wheelchair, which is to tell the generals that the military division will advance and retreat with you, which not only boosts morale, but also closes people's hearts, making the Shu army feel greatly invigorated.
Second, the wheelchair can also be regarded as the spiritual pillar of the Han Army. Whenever there was a battle, Zhuge Liang sat on a high platform in a car, and all the soldiers could see him, and at this time Zhuge Liang was no longer a simple military division, but the soul of the Han army.
At the same time, this is also a deterrent to the opposing camp, even if our military division is in a wheelchair, we can defeat you, which shows how strong our Shu army is, and you don't have to fight with us.
Zhuge Liang sat there, with a look of planning, which could indeed shock many people. As the saying goes, "Soldiers bear one, and bear bears a nest", Zhuge Liang's behavior as a pioneer is also a kind of deterrent to the locality, which will make them fearful - we will win, you will lose.
Third, the image of Zhuge Liang in a wheelchair shaking a feather fan makes people feel that they are calm and relaxed, which also makes the other party guess and be jealous, just like in the "empty city plan". Perhaps the other side will think that seeing him so peacefully, there must be some ambush, so that he does not dare to attack on a large scale and lose the advantage of combat.
From the perspective of the story creator, Zhuge Liang is also the main character of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is not surprising that the main characters have more or less the aura of the protagonist, if the protagonists are the same as everyone, there is no point to watch.
In addition, the general Taoist celestial master also appears in a wheelchair, so the author wants to let people see a resourceful, red dust immortal-like figure. These reasons are why Zhuge Liang obviously has good legs and feet, but he still has to use a wheelchair. However, there are some other accounts in some wild histories.
In ancient times, when marching and fighting, only two military divisions were in wheelchairs, one was Sun Zhen and the other was Zhuge Liang. Sun Zhiqi was a descendant of Ghost Guzi and a brother of Pang Juan. They began to enter the army together, but the jealous Pang Juan always thought that Sun Zhen would overshadow himself.
Therefore, Pang Juan tried to make Sun Bin be tortured, and Sun Bin became a person with crippled legs and feet from then on. Later, Sun Bin defected to the State of Qi, also marching in a wheelchair and commanding Ruoding.
In this context, there are wild history records that Zhuge Liang was the reincarnation of Sun Zhen, because how did Zhuge Liang know the general trend of the world in Longzhong? And since his parents died since he was a child, who raised him to be so smart? Then there is only one possibility for thinking about it, that is, he is the reincarnation of Sun Zhen, born with wisdom.
As a result, Zhuge Liang did not change his habits in his past life when marching, or sat in a wheelchair. Of course, this statement cannot be taken seriously, and only when we cannot find the cause will we blame the gods.
In fact, no matter whether Zhuge Liang uses props without a "wheelchair", he is a strange person who can turn the situation in the world. Zhuge Liang worked hard for the sake of the world of the Han Dynasty, and his liver and brain were wiped out, which is the real respectable place.
Du Fu's "Three Gu frequently annoys the world's plans, and the two dynasties open the hearts of old subjects." He died before he could get out of the school, which made the hero cry, "is also the best evaluation of him." What is his opinion on this, though he has his master, but he does not have anyone else?
