The whole process of Zhuge Liang's 6 failed Northern Expeditions, and after his death, Sima Yi was impressed: The wizards of the world!
We all know that Liu Bei entrusted the Shu kingdom and his son Liu Chan to Zhuge Liang before his death, hoping that he would be able to assist Liu Chan well. At that time, Zhuge Liang could completely replace Liu Chan with his own prestige, but he did not do so. Instead, after Liu Chan grew up, he decided to personally lead the army to "restore the Central Plains". Zhuge Liang, who was extremely clever, carried out 6 Northern Expeditions, but all failed.
Why is that? Is there something else hidden? Please follow the steps of the editor and explore it together, please continue to look down.
In the spring of 228, Zhuge Liang carried out the first Northern Expedition. He asked Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to set up suspicious troops to attract Cao Zhen's heavy troops, and he himself led a large army to attack Qishan. When Emperor Wei learned of the news, he immediately personally guarded Chang'an and sent Zhang Gao to lead 50,000 infantry and horsemen to fight. In the end, Zhuge Liang and the others were outnumbered and could only return to Hanzhong.
In the winter of 228, Zhuge Liang took advantage of the weakness of the Wei state of Guanzhong and carried out a second Northern Expedition. He sent troops to disperse and besiege Chen Cang, but was resisted by the Wei general Hao Zhaosuo. Due to the shortage of food and grass for the army, it had to retreat to Hanzhong again.
In the spring of 229, Zhuge Liang sent Chen Shi to attack the cities of Wudu and Yinping. When Guo Huai of Yongzhou heard about it, he immediately led his troops to support. After Zhuge Liang knew that the enemy had reinforcements, he immediately personally led his troops to block them. In the end, Chen Shi successfully captured Wudu and Yinping.
In the autumn of 230, the State of Wei decided to take revenge on the State of Shu and sent three Wei troops to attack Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang personally deployed his army to fight against the menacing Wei army. During that time, heavy rains have been raining for more than 30 days. There was no way, the Wei army could only retreat. In the same year, Zhuge Liang sent troops to attack Qiangzhong and defeated Guo Huai and others at Yangxi.
In February 231, Zhuge Liang personally led a large army to attack Qishan. Sima Yi ordered: "Don't rush into battle, rely on the severe terrain for defense." The two sides had been deadlocked, and then Li Yan called Zhuge Liang to return the division because of the lack of grain transportation. After Zhuge Liang retreated, he was pursued by Zhang Gao. Zhuge Liang used a ruse to kill Zhang Haozhong by an arrow.
In 234, Zhuge Liang led a large army to attack xiegu road. At this time, Zhuge Liang was overworked and his physical condition was getting worse and worse. Because Sima Yi was sinister and cunning, Zhuge Liang did not take any advantage. Based on this situation, Zhuge Liang decided to divide his troops into Tuntian and grow grain and self-sufficiency with the people of Wei in the territory of the State of Wei, intending to stay for a long time, but Zhuge Liang fell ill and died of overwork.
At that time, because Zhuge Liang ordered it to be kept secret, Sima Yi did not know that Zhuge Liang was dead. Later, Sima Yi personally led his troops to pursue and kill Zhuge Liang, and Jiang Wei immediately ordered his troops to beat the drums and prepare for battle. Sima Yi was frightened by this situation, and thought that he had fallen into the trap, so he immediately retreated back.
After Sima Yi learned of Zhuge Liang's death, he secretly went to see the situation of Zhuge Liang's troops. Zhuge Liang's troops were orderly, without the slightest bit of panic. After reading it, Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Zhuge Liang is really a wizard in the world, and the troops are so well managed." ”
