Zhuge Liang's five Northern Expeditions were unsuccessful, and the last Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang was prepared for a long-term battle, confronting Sima Yi in Weishui, but in the end, because of overwork, he died of illness on the front line of Wuzhangyuan, and died before he could get out of the division, which made the hero cry.
After Zhuge Liang's death, who will take over? Who will steer the stormy Shu Han regime?
This question, long before Zhuge Liang's death, he had already considered it, Zhuge Liang thought very clearly, he chose Jiang Huan.
Why Jiang Huan? What is so special about Jiang Huan? Can Jiang Huan shoulder this burden?
In fact, Jiang Huan has a specialty, and like Zhuge Liang, it is precisely because of this specialty that Zhuge Liang finally chose Jiang Huan.
What is the specialty?
As the saying goes, soldiers and horses do not move grain and grass first, and there are very big factors in wanting to win a battle, and it is necessary to have logistical support, mainly grain and grass, and if grain and grass are fundamental, most of them will not be able to win the battle.
Zhuge Liang's five Northern Expeditions failed twice because the grain and grass could not keep up, there was no grain and grass, and he was forced to withdraw his troops.
And Jiang Huan's specialty is that doing logistics supplies is a good hand, that is, enough food for soldiers.
At the beginning, every time Liu Bei went out to fight, Zhuge Liang sat in the rear, and also provided Liu Bei with grain and grass, supplemented the source of troops, and had enough food for the soldiers, because Zhuge Liang's specialty was to do this.
The "Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms" Zhuge Liang's biography records: The first lord went out, Liang Chang town guarded Chengdu, and enough food and foot soldiers.
And Jiang Huan is also like this, he and Zhuge Liang, have this specialty.
Every time Zhuge Liang used troops to the outside world, Jiang Huan provided grain and grass in the rear, replenished the source of troops, and did a good job in logistical work.
The "Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms" records that when Liangshu went out, He often fed enough soldiers to supply him.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang was very appreciative of Jiang Wan's talent, and Zhuge Liang often said that Jiang Huan was loyal and loyal, yaliang kuanhe, and was a suitable candidate to revive the Han Room with me.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang secretly confessed to Liu Chan that if something happened to me, the major affairs of the military state could be handed over to Jiang Huan.
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" records: Liang every word: Gong Yan Zhi Zhongya, when I praise the king with me. After the secret table, the Lord said: If the subject is unfortunate, the matter will be paid for later.
Some people say that Jiang Huan is good at enough food and foot food and doing logistical work, so Yang Yi is not bad? Yang Yi is also a good hand at logistics and enough food for soldiers, why did Zhuge Liang not choose Yang Yi?
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" yang yi biography records: Bright numbers went out of the army, Yi regularly painted branches, raised grain and grain, did not think about it, and Si Su was pooped.
In fact, the reason why Zhuge Liang did not choose Yang Yi as his successor was not because Yang Yi had no talent, but because Yang Yi had a bad personality, and compared with Jiang Wan, he was much worse.
Zhuge Liang once explained the reason to the later lord Liu Chan, saying that Yang Yi had a narrow personality and was not suitable to be his successor, and Jiang Huan was the most suitable.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, The Biography of Yang Yi records that Liang Pingsheng's secret finger, with the meaning of Jiang Huan, was shangshu ling and Yizhou assassin history.
As early as when Liu Bei entered Yizhou, Because Jiang Huan was often drunk and did not pay attention to political affairs, Liu Bei was furious and wanted to kill Jiang Huan, but Zhuge Liang interceded for Jiang Huan, because Zhuge Liang saw that Jiang Huan was a talent.
Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei that Jiang Huan's talent was rare, not a talent of a hundred miles, not an ordinary person, so Liu Bei did not kill Jiang Huan.
In the twelfth year of Jianxing (234), Zhuge Liang died of illness, and Jiang Huan was appointed by Liu Chan as Shang Shu Ling, and soon after, he added the capital protection, false festivals, and led the History of Yizhou Assassination, and soon after, he was promoted to the rank of general, Lu Shang Shushi, and was given the title of Marquis of Anyang Ting.
At this point, Jiang Huan became Zhuge Liang's successor.
However, unfortunately, in the ninth year of Yanxi (246), Jiang Huan fell ill and died.
