At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was divided into three kingdoms, and the so-called chaotic world produced heroes. During the turbulent Three Kingdoms period, there were many popular heroes, the most popular of which was probably the military divisions who strategized on the battlefield, and the two countries competed for military law, and their existence also determined the rise and fall of a country.
To say that the most famous military master in the Three Kingdoms period, I am afraid that it is not Wolong Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was originally Xuzhou Lin lang Yangdu people in the early years of the uncle Zhuge Xuan came to Jingzhou, after Zhuge Xuan's death, Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in longzhong area, until 207 AD, Liu Bei heard of Zhuge Liang's name, personally three Gu Maolu finally invited Zhuge Liang out of the mountain.
The Three Kingdoms Shu Zhuge Liang's "Table of Renunciation" records: "The subjects are clothed, they cultivate in Nanyang, and they live their lives in the chaotic world, and they do not seek to reach the princes." The former emperor did not despise his subjects, and he was self-deprecating, and the three ministers were in the grass, and the counselors were grateful for the affairs of the world, so they allowed the former emperor to drive away. ”
When Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, Liu Bei didn't even have a place to stay. Fortunately, with Zhuge Liang by his side, he gradually completed the first two steps of the three strategies of Longzhong, first taking Jingzhou, then taking Sichuan and Shu, and finally taking the world. However, seeing that the power of the Shu Kingdom was getting stronger and stronger, only the last step was left to take the world when the accident occurred.
Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou and did not even save his life. Liu Bei was furious and attacked his heart, and despite Zhuge Liang's persuasion to send troops to attack the State of Wu, as a result, in the Battle of Yiling, he was defeated and returned, and the Shu State was seriously injured by the loss of soldiers. In 161 AD, Liu Bei died of illness in the White Emperor's City, and was entrusted to Zhuge Liang on his deathbed, and Zhuge Liang was ordered to take on the great responsibility of the Northern Expedition.
From the spring of 228 AD to the spring of 234 AD. Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times before and after and led the Northern Expedition. On the sixth and final trip to Qishan, Zhuge Liang personally led hundreds of thousands of Shu troops out of the nest and prepared to swing the mountains and rivers and clean up the old enemy Sima Yi. This time, the Shu army was like a bamboo, and the troops reached the shore of weishui.
The news reached the State of Wei, and the State of Wei, including Cao Rui, was very frightened. Because the chips of the State of Wei had all been pressed on Sima Yi's body, if Sima Yi was defeated, or colluded with Zhuge Liang to support the army and respect himself, then the consequences would be unimaginable. After some discussion, Cao Rui decided to send an old minister to supervise the army.
This overseer was Xin Bi, an old minister of the Three Dynasties of the State of Wei, who initially served as an official under Yuan Shao, who was defeated by Cao Cao at the Battle of Guandu in the fifth year of Jian'an (200), and Xin Bi came to Cao Cao's account. He supported the Three Emperors of the State of Wei, and now he was even ordered at a critical juncture to serve as Sima Yi's general and military division.
When Zhuge Liang learned that an old man named Xin Bi had come from Sima Yi's camp, he actually looked up at the sky and sighed: "My life is over." Zhuge Liang was not afraid of Xin Bi, but the plan he had arranged was broken again.
Originally, in order to force Sima Yi to march, Zhuge Liang had sent a woman's dress to ridicule him, and Sima Yi was naturally unmoved, but could his generals endure such humiliation?
Originally, it was about to cause a mutiny in Sima Yi's army. At this time, Xin Bi was ordered to come and take Cao Rui's orders and forcibly stabilize the hearts of the army. Zhuge Liang is like a god, how can he not understand the meaning of this layer?
Zhuge Liang was probably also expected to know that his time was running out, so he would suddenly suppress such a large army, and frequently provoked Sima Yi to fight. Sima Yi may be inferior to Zhuge Liang in military ability, but he is an out-and-out old fox, and he can't defend it. Moreover, when Sima Yi learned that Zhuge Liang "came in person in every detail, and did not eat more than a few liters", he was even more overjoyed and insisted on his determination to avoid war, and later Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan shortly after. Alas, alas.
