"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a very classic work, because of the many stories and various vivid characters in it, in recent years, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been remade into various film and television dramas, which has aroused many people's strong interest in the history of the Three Kingdoms. The various lively stories and character images in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have also become a topic of people's talk. As for the final demise of the Shu kingdom in the Three Kingdoms, people all felt sorry for it, so some people hypothesized that if Zhuge Liang had not chosen the Northern Expedition at that time, but was recuperating, would the Shu kingdom still perish? Choosing a different path, whether the Shu kingdom will still perish, we can consider several aspects.
First, the internal crisis of the Shu state was relatively large, which aggravated the process of the demise of the Shu state. After Liu Chan became the leader of the Shu state, the atmosphere in the court of the Shu state went down day by day, and everyone knew that Liu Chan had a favorite courtier, Huang Hao, who was not a good kind, and he had to take a shot at Liu Chan at all times, and he was very fond of forming parties for personal gain and engaging in various framings. Although she knew that Huang Hao was not a good thing, Liu Chan did not punish Huang Hao, but kept him by her side, because Huang Hao was very good at pleasing him. Because of Huang Hao's various intrigues and intrigues in the palace and the framing of Zhongliang, many important ministers were suppressed and even persecuted for refusing to submit to Huang Hao. Zhuge Liang knew these things better, so in order to eradicate this scourge, once, Zhuge Liang drew his sword in front of Liu Chan and wanted to kill Huang Hao, but Liu Chan had no choice but to protect him in every way, and in the end, Zhuge Liang could only regretfully retreat.
Second, there were strong enemies around the Shu kingdom. Since the establishment of the two states of Wei and Wu, the State of Shu has formed a three-legged trend. If the Shu kingdom wanted to be alone, it was difficult to choose to recuperate. Because the state of Wu and the state of Wei had always intended to attack the state of Shu and then annex it into their own territory. In this case, it is even more impossible to continue the survival of the Shu kingdom by recuperating.
In ancient times, thinking of danger in times of peace has always been an immutable truth. Because of the fear of being conquered by force by other countries, even if the country is relatively peaceful, but considering the potential external instability factors, ancient countries often oppressed or even conquered other countries by force through various means. Not to mention the Three Kingdoms period, when the situation was relatively chaotic at that time. Therefore, even if Zhuge Liang chose not to go to the Northern Expedition, but to recuperate, the Shu state may still perish.
