Analysis of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition: What is the significance of Zhuge Liang's repeated failures in the Northern Expedition? Looking back at the history of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang is always the image of a wise man in people's minds, but it is very strange that his Northern Expedition always ended in failure, what is the reason for this, is he not a wise man, or is it true that the war he personally commanded has hardly been smooth, so let's take a look at the stories in the Northern Expedition today.
In the long river of China's history, especially more than 1,000 years ago, it happened in the land of Sichuan in China, Zhuge Liang left a good name of "bowing down to exhaustion, after death", the status in people's minds can be imagined, but in the end it was found that there are great misunderstandings, which are exaggerated components, what kind of situation is this, is Zhuge Liang really so powerful, and the study of historical discoveries is actually not what people think. So what happened 1,000 years ago, how did posterity describe this history, why is there such a big difference between the history of the main history and the wild history, 1,000 years later people question the significance of his efforts, but also question his dream of the Northern Expedition is an empty drain on national strength, what is the matter, today let's take a look at this history.
Many people in our lives today, it seems particularly intelligent, but many times it is also very irrational, this is stupid or smart, can only be said to be superficial intelligence, they are almost too lazy to think about the real meaning behind a thing, only from the surface of things is judged, even only by virtue of this language surface, do not know that language also has a home, people with hearts will naturally take advantage of this, so we can not only listen to or only look at the surface, to understand its deep meaning. Nowadays, people seem to be particularly extreme, people are not good or bad for things, but they ignore the gray stage in the middle, and this invisible stage is the important stage that affects the discovery of things, and the reason why Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was criticized by everyone is the same.
Since he came to power, a total of five Northern Expeditions have been launched, most of which are in the stage of military confrontation with Cao Wei, which is a strategic threat in the true sense. 34 There is no need for the Northern Expedition at all, why does he insist on doing this, what is the real meaning, the general situation is mostly the pursuit of the meaning may sometimes not be seen, but the more important meaning is for the sake of the descendants of virtue, but also for the sake of happiness, I think Zhuge Liang's idea is also like this, but also more people live a good life, but as the shu Han minister, why should we raise troops in the Northern Expedition, is it not better not to fight, why should we work hard and hurt the people, and war is the most draining of national strength, if he sits in Chengdu to enjoy the joy of heaven, It can also live a very good life, and the country of Shudi Tianfu is rich in products and is a good place to live.
However, for the sake of the future of Shu Han, he could not help but continue to expand his territory and let more people live a good life, in this Zhuge Liang's five Northern Expeditions, although the places of engagement were different, but its core purpose was only two, to seize the two prefectures of Yongliang and seize the Guanzhong Plain, so that Cao Wei's military arm in the northwest could be cut off, so that his strength would be reduced at once, and the principle of seizing Guanzhongping could directly break cao Wei's power center in Guanzhong, in order to achieve the purpose of controlling the Guanzhong Plain and seizing the two prefectures of Yongliang.
Perhaps this is the meaning of Zhuge Liang's efforts, he hopes to be able to support the grand plan of the Han Room for Shu Han and realize Liu Bei's wishes, although in the end he failed to achieve his wishes, but he could only do his best, the Mandate of Heaven could not be forced, we could only work hard, and the final result could only go with nature.
