At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, so that the people did not have a good life, and the ordinary people's homes even reached the point of changing children and eating. Therefore, in order to survive, the poor people took up arms to resist the court. Although the latter was suppressed by the joint efforts of various princes, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was also seriously injured. At this time, the peasant revolt also transitioned to the open and secret struggle of the princes of the world, and finally, in the continuous conquest of the princes, the three divisions of the world led by Sun Liu Cao were formed.
Cao Cao, on the other hand, was the most powerful of the three worlds, and after unifying the north, he began to plan to attack the south and unify Kyushu. The funny thing is that Liu Bei, one of the three worlds, did not have a foothold at this time, but he was able to seize his own piece of the world under the strong pressure of Sun Cao, which was naturally inseparable from the help of zhuge Liang, who was known for his superior intelligence and talent. At Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Liu Bei and Sun Quan of Jiangdong defeated Cao Cao at the Battle of Chibi, completely shattering Cao Cao's good wishes for the unification of the world.
After Chibi, Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou and captured Xichuan, realizing the establishment of the Shu Han regime. What is strange is that after the Battle of Chibi, if we think about it carefully, will we find that Zhuge Liang's figure is rarely seen in every important battle of Liu Bei? Why? Zhuge Liang was the first large army division under Liu Bei's account, and the role of the military division must be in the army, but every major war launched by Liu Bei after that did not bring this large army division with him to give advice.
In fact, the reason is very simple, we are all blurred by the Battle of Chibi or by the novel. In fact, Zhuge Liang's role in the Battle of Chibi was not military, but political cooperation with Wu, which was the key to Zhuge Liang's entire Battle of Chibi, and Liu Used Zhuge Liang to lobby Eastern Wu, not to let Zhuge Liang help Eastern Wu how to win the war, but to use Zhuge Liang's wisdom to deepen the truth of Eastern Wu's lips and teeth. Looking at the entire Chibi, Zhou Yu was the only one who decided the direction and success or failure of the war, and it had little to do with Zhuge Liang.
It is not difficult to see that the reason why Liu Bei was able to seize his own piece of the world under the powerful forces of the two sides was entirely because he could use people, and the essence of employing people was not only to use his talents, but to know what kind of talent people needed to put in what position to bring their talents to the highest level, which is also the art of Liu Bei. Liu Bei was well aware that Zhuge Liang's talent was only in politics and not in military affairs, and although Zhuge Liang was familiar with military affairs, he was cautious and cautious, and such a person who fought a battle and was bound to be constrained everywhere, it must be known that the affairs of the battlefield are unpredictable, and although it is important to fight steadily and steadily, it is also very likely that he will miss the fighter.
Throughout Zhuge Liang's life, there are not too many classic and wonderful battles, let alone more unexpected strategies with fewer victories. Liu Bei saw it very thoroughly, he knew very well what kind of person Zhuge Liang was, Zhuge Liang's role for Liu Bei was like Xun Yu's role on Cao Cao, he was a first-class master in the temple, and he needed talents like Zhuge Liang for the stability of the political situation. Only by repairing internal affairs can we have the capital to start a war, and Zhuge Liang is a super genius in governing internal affairs, and it is precisely because of Zhuge Liang's superb political talent that the supply of human resources and materials for each war of Liu Bei has been guaranteed, and the absolute stability of Liu Bei's rear area has been ensured. In this way, even if Liu Bei is defeated, there is still a way to retreat, in fact, this is also the case. This was the real reason why Liu Bei never took Zhuge Liang with him when he fought.
