The question we want to discuss today is: If Zhuge Liang had not rushed to the Northern Expedition, would Shu Han have been able to last a little longer? Let's analyze it (personal judgment, do not spray it)
The establishment concept of the Shu state came from the revival of the Han Dynasty, which is also the reason why Liu Bei was able to go all the way to the founding of the country, but this was limited to the older group of personnel, in the period of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, the number of people who followed Liu Bei's southern expedition to the northern war has become less and less, but it is not far to avoid it is Zhuge Liang, the minister of the Shu State, Zhuge Liang was entrusted by Liu Bei's White Emperor city to carry out the heavy responsibility, that is, to shoulder the responsibility of Liu Bei's revival of the Han Dynasty, in Zhuge Liang's goal, the most important one is to enter the Central Plains in the north, which is also manifested in the list of teachers. Therefore, after Zhuge Liang's death, he was called bowing down and dying!
Secondly, the Northern Expedition is the only way out for the Shu kingdom, although the Shu state is known as the country of tianfu, but the road is dangerous, the material is difficult to transport, which greatly balances the development of the Shu state, and because the mountains and rivers are steep, the population is scattered, if the country is closed and closed, it is tantamount to falling into a confrontation with the national strength of the Wei state, which is very unfavorable to the Shu state, and the defensive war will be carried out on its own territory, which is absolutely undesirable! You can analyze Jiang Wei's battle, and you can know that the defense is not as good as the benefits brought by the attack!
The last and most important one is to lead the internal contradictions of the state into the contradictions between the countries, the composition of the officials of the Shu state is complex, there are both Jingxiang shizi, and there are xichuan old ministers, southern barbarians and western qiang, and Liu Bei's old department, there are many contradictions, if the northern expedition war is not launched, Zhuge Liang will fall into the battle for power and profit at home, which he does not want to see, empty consumption of national strength!
Therefore, if Zhuge Liang did not go north, the Shu kingdom would face more and more problems, turning the initiative into passivity, being controlled everywhere, and how long it was stable depended on how much ability the Wei state had! Instead of dying, it is better to fight a way out of the impossible, this is the meaning of the Northern Expedition, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, the existence of the country is not to survive for a long time, but whether it can become a unified dynasty!
