Looking back at the Three Kingdoms period, it was an era of many talents. There are countless military generals and courtiers. Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, who had countless military generals and courtiers under their command. However, among the Three Kingdoms, the most powerful one was Cao Cao. Cao Cao is considered to be the largest tyrant in the Three Kingdoms, and since Cao Cao held tianzi hostage to order the princes, his power has grown stronger and stronger, and he finally returned to victory in a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, becoming one of the largest forces in the north.
Later, after a series of developments, the final power of the Shu state was handed over to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang first repaired the broken alliance with Eastern Wu externally, and then developed the economy internally to appease the people's livelihood. Finally, he started his first Northern Expedition a few years later, and although the first Northern Expedition had a good effect in the early stage, it was lost due to a little mistake. In fact, there was once a nemesis of Cao Cao in the Shu Kingdom, if it were not for his untimely death, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, he would have won the victory, and this Cao Cao's nemesis was Fazheng.
Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang were both courtiers, but their style of plotting was completely different. Zhuge Liang's plan lies in stability, while Fazheng's plan lies in qi. We can understand from Liu Bei's two wars in The Great Point of Fa Zheng, liu Bei Hanzhong's surprise attack on Cao Cao was Fa Zheng's plan. This raid not only burned the wei camp, but also killed many of the Wei soldiers.
At that time, Cao Cao was overwhelmed by the news of his defeat, and he did not look at this matter in Liu Bei's style, and later after inquiring, it was not. When Cao Cao heard the name of Fazheng, he immediately valued him a lot in his heart, and every time Cao Jun and the Shu Army fought, as long as the military division of the Shu State was Fazheng, Cao Cao could not get any benefits. Every time Fa Zheng was able to come up with various strategies to deal with Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao dare not act rashly every time. Fazheng's might was vividly reflected in the Battle of Hanzhong, so after the victory in Hanzhong, Liu Bei also specially rewarded Fazheng.
Zhuge Liang's plan of the Northern Expedition was correct, but Zhuge Liang's plan was still too stable. Anyway, the Shu kingdom has reached the brink of no way back, and if you want to be reborn, you must have a miracle. If he had not died young, if he had joined Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition army, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition would have been successful. Zhuge Liang did not go on the Northern Expedition five times in a row, and was eventually consumed by Sima Yi on the road of the Northern Expedition.
