To say that the most famous strategist in the Three Kingdoms period, I think the first thing that everyone thinks of must be Zhuge Liang, who is known as Mr. Wolong, in this chaotic era, Zhuge Liang can be described as loyal and courageous, single-mindedly serving the Shu state, and it can even be said that half of the establishment of the Shu state is his credit, he has contributed his life to the country and the people, he not only has the ability to govern the country and the country, but also has the mind and strategy to fight with the soldiers.
So much so that we often learn in some film and television dramas or novels that Zhuge Liang often goes to the battlefield with soldiers in a wheelchair, but I don't know if everyone knows that Zhuge Liang is originally healthy with both feet, but why does he always have to be a wheelchair when fighting? The reason for this is terrible.
Qiao Shikong City planned to defend the West City
Speaking of Zhuge Liang's personal image, it is necessary to mention the description of him in the Empty City Plan, and when it comes to the Empty City Plan, everyone must have read this fragment in the books when they were in school, and they all have some simple understanding, so let's revisit this more famous battle to see how Zhuge Liang skillfully strategized and defended the city.
Speaking of this incident, it also goes back to the time when Zhuge Liang carried out the Northern Expedition, because Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou caused the Shu state to become a martyr, and Liu Bei was determined to avenge his brothers, and was defeated in the Battle of Yiling, losing a large number of Shu elites, which undoubtedly made the Shu state worse, and then Liu Bei suddenly died of illness and all the mess was thrown to Zhuge Liang, and he had to find ways to save the fate of the Shu state to perish.
So in the next period of time he chose to carry out the Northern Expedition, in order to let the Shu state sit firmly in the position of Hanzhong, but unfortunately in the process of this Northern Expedition, his general Ma Mo, because of arrogance and arrogance, lost the street pavilion, which indirectly led to the defeat of the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang and the army led by him turned to a disadvantage, had to shrink the strength of the troops for defense, in short, a series of mistakes and unwise choices of the Shu state led to a passive situation later.
Sima Yi, who was subordinate to the Cao Wei regime, also saw this opportunity and wanted to subvert the power of the Shu state in one fell swoop, after all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, if the timing was right, then he could make an unprecedented achievement, and then led more than 100,000 troops of the Shu state to take the Western City that Zhuge Liang was stationed at that time.
In the face of the pressure of the army, Zhuge Liang had every chance to escape, but this was only limited to his own escape, he could not guarantee that the soldiers and people in the army could survive, plus there were too many cities and pools that had been lost one after another, and the West City could no longer be taken by the Cao Army, so he made a bold decision, that is, to continue to stay in the West City and keep the city, perhaps for ordinary people, this is simply an impossible thing, because at this time, the West City is some remnants of the defeated, And the number of soldiers added up to less than 3,000. Facing Sima Yi's army of more than 100,000 people, this simply had no chance of victory.
But is Zhuge Liang a mortal mind? He chose to take the risk and pretend to be calm, so he sat at the head of the city and stroked the piano, and a boy stood on the left and right, the boy on the left holding a sword, and the boy on the right holding a dust tail, and at the same time ordered the city gate to be opened and only some soldiers were left to clean at the city gate, pretending not to care at all about Sima Yi's army.
Zhuge Liang, as Sima Yi's old rival for many years, was really shocked to see such an abnormal scene, he knew that Zhuge Liang was not the kind of person who dared to take risks, afraid that daring to do so must be relied on, to make a hasty siege of the city, it is likely to fall into the ambush of the enemy, and finally Zuo Si right thought that he finally chose to retreat, and when the army retreated, Zhuge Liang was already sitting on his legs numb, and his back was also shocked into a cold sweat, but fortunately, he finally succeeded and defended the city.
March in a wheelchair to fight
From this fragment, it can be understood that Zhuge Liang's legs are sound, there is no disability and there is no major disease, but later, why did Zhuge Liang often use a wheelchair when marching and fighting? It is reasonable to say that he is old and his legs and feet are inconvenient, but when he is not old enough to walk, he is already in a wheelchair.
In fact, Zhuge Liang is not sitting in a wheelchair, but called a car, so the function of the wheelchair is almost all prepared for the old, weak, sick and disabled, but the car that Zhuge Liang made is not an ordinary car, it is a special means of transportation that can control walking and can also be on the carriage, which is conducive to helping him save physical strength and keep up with the army.
Secondly, Zhuge Liang's physical condition in his later years was indeed very poor, coupled with state affairs, making his body even more overwhelmed, and even when he was seriously ill, he often coughed up blood, both laborious and perennial, which was undoubtedly extremely energy-consuming for him as a strategist, which also made it difficult for him to follow the pace of the army in the future, so he had to sit on the car, and in addition to these reasons, there were other aspects of the role, which were terrible for the enemy army.
What is so terrible about Zhuge Liang's wheelchair
To say that Zhuge Liang has been in a wheelchair for many years to fight with the army has a terrible point, mainly from three aspects, this first point is that it has the effect of stabilizing the military's heart, as a military division is also the commander of the army, sitting in a wheelchair in the rear of the army to command the battle, which can make the soldiers firmly believe, go forward, at the same time, even the defeated soldiers will not scatter and flee, because they know the generals in the rear. Still living and dying with them in a wheelchair, the generals were so desperate, how could they escape from the battle with sound limbs?
Secondly, Zhuge Liang's practice can also become the spiritual belief of the generals, because he often sits on the cart and stands on a high platform, commanding and fighting on the battlefield that changes all the time, and this can just allow the generals to rely on and not be overwhelmed in the face of some unexpected situations.
At that time, whether it was Zhuge Liang's prestige or his admirable mind, how many people were impressed, and he had been sitting on a high platform, not hurried, calm and calm, which could not help but give the other side's generals and strategists a certain sense of oppression, so that they did not dare to act rashly, because they knew that their talents were far inferior to Zhuge Liang, and if they took a wrong step, they were likely to destroy the entire army, and this just disturbed the other side's strategy and offensive.
epilogue
Although Zhuge Liang has the ability to save the world, but unfortunately, the Shu kingdom he is in is still towards the end of destruction, in the process of establishing the Shu kingdom, many capable generals have died on the battlefield, and finally only the only one of the five tiger generals, Zhao Yun, but he also died of illness in the Northern Expedition, and on the other hand, at this time, the monarch of the Shu state is the mediocre and incompetent Liu Chan, how can such a monarch pull the Shu kingdom back from the brink of death, so in the end Zhuge Liang failed to complete the grand wish of reviving the Han Dynasty. He himself was also tired and died in Gojohara, and such a loyal minister who served the country and the people was really admirable.
